Chapter 287 Strategy
Xu Yi's pessimism made the entire hall quiet.
Not to mention Xu Yi's reputation in the Longyou Army in his early years, just talking about the changes in the Longyou Army in recent years, which gave Xu Yi absolute prestige in the Longyou Army and the soldiers of the entire Longyou Army absolutely trusted him.
That's right, the best handsome man who can bring them a high-quality life is the best handsome man.
"Master, do you mean that the rebels will subvert the Dasheng Dynasty?"
This is a question in everyone's mind, but Xue Song said it.
"I thought too much, there is no subversion of Dasheng. Not to mention that our Longyou Army has not yet set out to fight, even the Hexi Army, Jiannan Army, etc. have not arrived at the battlefield of serving the king."
"What I worry about is that the chaotic court will make all military generals who are willing to serve the king hesitate. Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi were beheaded, which is the lesson of the past. Who can't think about it?"
"In addition, whether the commander is being used to lead troops now, the court is fighting like this... The situation is unpredictable!"
"Perhaps, in the eyes of those in the court, An Lushan was a vassal state, and even thought it was just an attack... The rebels have arrived in Tongguan, and the court is still arguing about who is the commander. How chaotic is this court!"
Xu Yi said this, but he knew very well in his heart... Isn't it that the saint fled south about to appear?
In other words, in the near future, the events recorded in history will happen, and the Yang family may have...is already like this. Does Yang Guozhong still have the intention to mess with the court?
Xu Yi was also a little confused at this time.
He knew that Dasheng would not be destroyed, but would just go to more chaos. How should he, his Longyou Army, and his power in the Western Regions go?
"Master General, when will our Longyou Army send troops? How to send troops?"
Just when Xu Yi was worried, Guo Ziyi suddenly asked this question.
Guo Ziyi's question was like a blow, instantly dragging Xu Yi out of that confusion, entanglement and trance.
"After preparing for so many years, I am the general to make one day an accident in the court, the Longyou Army can be used as a weapon for the country and turn the tide!"
"It is certain to send troops. Moreover, we cannot wait for the imperial edict from the court. We must advance the army without the situation irreversible!"
"In such a court, can we receive a regular order to dispatch troops? I am worried that if the court continues like this, Chang'an will be in danger!"
"However, the most important thing to consider at this time is how to send troops to prevent the court from being alert? Now that An Lushan is treason, how much trust the court has left for border troops like us?"
"In addition, I am worried that based on the current trust of the court in the border army, even if the court has an edict to ask the Longyou Army to support it, it will be a fuel-efficient increase in troops. This result is also something I don't want to see."
"In recent years, the cooperative combat between infantry, cavalry and chariot soldiers of the Longyou Army has begun to show results, and such tactics are most suitable for large armies to fight. If the imperial court regarded the Longyou Army as a conventional army and was placed in a dispersed manner for some reason, I think you understand what the result would be."
"I don't want the Longyou Army to support me to die. Similarly, I don't want the Longyou Army general to be wronged because of the treacherous charity in the court, and I want to be punished by Changqing and Gao Xianzhi to die injustice!"
"So, what we need to consider is not whether to send troops or not, nor whether we wait for the imperial edict. In the current prosperous situation, our Longyou Army must send troops, but what we need to consider is how to send troops."
"Without arousing the suspicion of the court, it can also turn the world around and turn the tide!"
Xu Yi's analysis of the imperial court and the current situation was truly in line with the psychology of the generals of the Longyou Army. In fact, after receiving information about An Lushan's rebellion, you were willing to send troops to defend the king.
However, after receiving the information that Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi were killed by the court because of the correct combat method, you were a little hesitant.
But whether it was a letter to ask for help or a letter from His Royal Highness, this shows that in the hearts of the saints or in the general perception of the court, there were some doubts about the Longyou Army entering the pass.
In this case, the result of sending troops to defend the king is likely to be a crime of voluntarily using the army.
I was worried that the general would only consider the contribution of the king, not the fact...
"Master, the last general will follow the commander of the commander and follow the decision of the commander!"
"Lord, I will listen to the decision of the general!"
Xu Yi had no intention of rebelling, and could clarify the situation of the Longyou Army rationally, objectively and clearly, which made all the generals feel relieved and there was no worries. He just needed to act according to the commander's military order.
Xu Yi really never thought about rebellion, and loyalty was the first priority for the education of the entire Longyou Army. However, when Xu Yi saw that his subordinates seemed to have a relaxed mood at this time, Xu Yi realized that these people actually had doubts about their thoughts.
Yet, Xu Yi's situation in managing the entire Longyou over the years has really had the foundation for establishing an independent kingdom.
Economic, military, government, diplomatic, etc. are somewhat different from the court, and are even more a new concept. No wonder these people are thinking about it.
Xu Yi cannot deny it. An Lushan uprising was also the inducement to stir up the entire grand situation. Not only the Longyou Army, but I am afraid that the governors from all over the country in Dasheng are watching the direction of the entire battle situation.
The so-called sending troops to reinforce and the so-called serving the king may be superficial.
Only then could Xu Yi deeply understand the reason why An Lushan's rebels were invincible in history.
If you stop thinking about it, it is time to make a decision, and it is time to make a decision without delay. As for analyzing success or failure, it is the business of historians.
"Everyone, I have thought that if you want to achieve the effect of turning the tide, you can still avoid the suspicion of the court, or the suspicion of the court will not affect our dispatch of troops. You can even completely abandon the strategy of using troops in the court. There is only one way... to send troops to target the rebels, but it is not subject to the court."
"To put it simply, now our Longyou Army will send troops to suppress the rebellion, and there is no need to wait for the imperial edict. However, we cannot directly rush to Chang'an to serve the king."
"My strategy is to go straight east, kill Hedong, and then break through Hedong and Shuofang, directly behind An Lushan's rebels, and break up the rebels' rear from Hebei Road."
"Then follow the rebels' march route and head south. At that time, the power of the imperial court to resist the rebels, coupled with the general trend of our Hebei Road to suppress the rebels, can wipe out the rebels in the Central Plains!"
"Of course, the strategy of our Longyou Army must be reported to the court with standardized documents. In this way, we can avoid the court's doubts about the Longyou Army, and also use the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, which is the danger of the court!"
