One hundred and twenty-seven Zhao Yucheng does not understand politics
Zhao Kaihe is right.
Zhao Kaishan is actually not happy these days.
Su Yonglin had just won a big victory and was in full swing. Everyone was talking about how he defeated the Jin army and respected him very much, but Zhao Kaishan seemed to be neglected and no one mentioned it.
Zhao Kaishan was very dissatisfied with this and felt that as the leader, he had not received the respect he deserved. Everyone was discussing Su Yonglin, ignoring him and neglecting him, making him feel a sense of gap.
Those who had always been around him to praise him now are praising Su Yonglin, as if Su Yonglin is the soul of the Restoration Army.
But Zhao Kaishan was not killed. He also knew that respect comes from strength and military merits. As long as military merits are strong, you can naturally get enough respect. If military merits are not strong, respect is false and temporary.
Therefore, he must fight a hearty victory to tell all members of the Restoration Army - Zhao Lingshuai, who is the strongest.
And this requires a hearty victory!
So he looked at Zhao Kaihe.
"It must be a field battle when taking the initiative. The Jin thieves will inevitably send out cavalry. Our army has not many cavalry and is not strong. We were defeated in two small-scale confrontations, not to mention that the Jin thieves still have 20,000 troops. How do you plan to fight in this situation?"
"He cannot all 20,000 people into the battlefield, and we can only have a duel between a few thousand people. Since that's the case, of course we will form a formation to fight against it. He has cavalry and our army has tens of thousands of troops behind us. If he dares to increase his troops, we will increase our troops."
Zhao Kaihe talked jokingly: "The Jin thieves came from afar, and they must be inadequate in energy and could not fight for a long time. Our army is waiting for labor, with a large number of people, and there are still tens of thousands of reserve troops as their support. How can it be invincible?"
It seems reasonable, but it is actually empty, and Zhao Kaishan is still quite uneasy about this.
He was very afraid of the cavalry of the Jin army, worried that his army formation would not withstand the cavalry's deterrence and would be easily destroyed by the cavalry. Once the army formation was destroyed, the cavalry would really slaughter the infantry one-sidedly.
Seeing this, Zhao Kaihe said again: "In the past, our army had less than 10,000 people, and the commander-in-chief dared to attack the entire Shandong East Road. Now our army has 50,000. Why doesn't the commander-in-chief dare to attack the only 20,000 gold thieves?"
Zhao Kaihe's aggressive approach made Zhao Kaishan's heart shake.
This is true in the Tao. Why are you worried about everything you did at the beginning?
His position began to shake.
Zhao Yucheng thought about it and thought that this should not be done. He was about to debate with Zhao Kaihe head-on, but he remembered Su Yonglin's advice to him, so the idea of the debate was suppressed by him.
He turned to persuade Zhao Kaishan.
"The leader of the commander, although the Jin thieves are exhausted, they have thousands of cavalry after all, and their mobility is very strong. Our army lacks cavalry and is slow to move. Once they leave the camp, advance and retreat, they will be threatened by cavalry and fall into a passive position. This is not the best way.
The best way to defend the situation is to not be able to defend it. If he attacks, he will naturally be unable to take advantage of the cavalry and can only fight hard. Our army relies on fortifications to confront it, which will always consume his logistics and force him to retreat and win."
Zhao Yucheng's persuasion was reasonable, which made Zhao Kaishan look at his son unexpectedly, and felt that his son had a big military vision.
But having military vision is not enough, he is still a bit immature in politics.
Not bad, political.
Zhao Kaishan himself believes that he is already a leader, and he must not only be able to use military means to attack external enemies, but also use political means to consolidate his internal position.
He is not only a military leader, but also a political organization. He must grasp both hands and be strong both hands.
Based on his own learning and experience during this period, he believed that military is a continuation of politics, and no one can give up on each other's side. Problems that cannot be solved in politics can often be solved through military means.
By applying this theory, Zhao Kaishan felt that the problem he was facing was not only a military issue, but also a political issue.
Su Yonglin was in the forefront and won a great victory. His prestige rose sharply within the entire Restoration Army group, and the increase in military prestige would inevitably lead to the expansion of political power.
Su Yonglin's voice will increase, his power will expand, and those fencemen who admire the strong may be shaken again.
Su Yonglin has not made any moves yet, but once he has any moves, he will be very passive.
As a leader of the Restoration Army, if Zhao Kaishan cannot produce military achievements that can match or even exceed, he will fall into a political decline.
He finally used various means to remove the two threats of Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi, "exiled them to the frontier", established his political identity as the leader, and became the only leader of the Restoration Army, but now Su Yonglin used his military capabilities to reverse the situation.
Zhao Kaishan felt the threat.
So he believed that this battle must be won, and it must be fought beautifully, so that everyone knew that not only Su Yonglin could fight, but Zhao Kaishan could also fight, and even more so that they could lead them all to win and gain benefits.
And the current situation, if you just blindly defend, even if you win in the end, it will not be beautiful enough. It will not be like Su Yonglin who fought a beautiful annihilation battle, and the weight is not heavy enough.
He also wants to fight an annihilation war in response to let everyone know that he is still the irreplaceable leader of the Restoration Army.
"If you want to fight the war, you have to fight beautifully. Fight a complete annihilation battle and completely eat up these golden thieves!"
Zhao Kaishan punched the map in front of him with a fierce look and a firm tone.
"This move is great! I am truly worthy of being the leader!"
Zhao Kaihe was very happy.
Zhao Yucheng was shocked.
"This is not the best way to lead the commander, this..."
Zhao Yucheng's words were stopped by Zhao Kaishan.
"I have decided, Yucheng, you don't have to say much. This battle must be fought beautifully and vigorously, and it will make the Jin thief frightened and dare not look directly at me from now on!"
Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but lowered his head with a worried face and said nothing.
Then, Zhao Kaishan began to discuss with Zhao Kaihe how to attack.
Zhao Kaihe means formation and combat, and the cooperation of infantry and cavalry. Although the main force of the Restoration Army did not have strong cavalry, two or three thousand war horses and cavalry could still be used.
This wave will not be all dispatched, but at least a thousand cavalry will be taken out to assist in the battle on both sides of the army.
The main force is the infantry army. The infantry lined up to attack actively, which led the Jin soldiers to fight in a hurry. In a hurry, the Jin soldiers would inevitably fall into decline, and the Liberation Army became more and more brave and would definitely win.
Zhao Kaihe was full of confidence. He believed that the Jin soldiers he faced were still the same mob, and it was not enough to compete with the Restoration Army. The simpler and more crude tactics were, the more effective it was.
Zhao Kaishan thought about it and although he still had a lot of concerns in his heart, he still did not object. He also decided to allocate 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to Zhao Kaihe, and gather 5,000 troops to take the initiative to attack the Jin army.
Even if they cannot defeat these Jin soldiers in one fell swoop, they can still slam their spirits and give them a strong warning, so that they can retreat in a difficult situation.
Zhao Kaihe was very happy, so he took the order and went to prepare the army.
Zhao Yucheng waited for Zhao Kaihe to leave and came to Zhao Kaishan.
"I still feel inappropriate to lead the commander. The Jin bandit cavalry is far above me. If we defeat our cavalry and cut off our retreat, our army will likely collapse. By that time, our army will suffer heavy losses."
When Zhao Kaishan heard this, his face looked worried.
He does want to win, but it is precisely because he wants to win that he cannot accept failure. What Zhao Yucheng said is indeed very reasonable.
"What do you think is better?"
"The camp guards the camp and will not go out to fight, and force the Jin thieves to fight."
"No, we have to fight."
Zhao Kaishan immediately shook his head.
He has made a decision to go to the battle and cannot be changed. Otherwise, the order will change every day, so what authority does he have as the commander?
Chapter completed!
