When Guo Shao's troops crossed the Hutuo River, they saw that the fences, arrow towers, toilets and trenches had been built in the military camp. A large amount of firewood and carbonifer (coal) were also stored outside each camp.
He immediately commended the governor of Qizhou, and did not care about not being able to enter the city.
After October, the weather became colder when the north wind blew, and fortunately there was plenty of fuel.
The generals supplied firewood, charcoal and charcoal to various departments, and burned charcoal day and night in the felt-topped tent, and no one wanted to go out.
Before going to bed, Guo Shao put the iron cup he had eaten with water outside the tent. When he got up early the next morning, he had frozen a thick layer of ice all night.
Hebei is so cold, but the court transferred the army here to spend the winter.
In just a few days, Guo Shao summoned several generals to discuss: The purpose of the Privy Council's dispatch of troops may be to start deploying troops in advance, and to let us prepare to attack the city early.I have to send some scouts to Waqiao Pass to find out fortifications, the virtual and the real.
The left wing was stationed in the current place, mainly infantry. Guo Shao thought that as soon as the war started, he would attack Waqiao Pass directly north, and he remembered to smash the wall with gunpowder.
He first asked the generals how to prepare and listen to their opinions first.
No need to deal with the key points.Unexpectedly, Li Chuyun said directly.
Guo Shao hurriedly asked why.
Li Chuyun looked back at the surroundings and said: Today's Zhouduan is not here.A few days ago, when he talked about Liao Kingdom, I noticed that he was very fierce and did not argue, but I really disagree.
When the generals heard this, they all agreed and cursed.
It's really not pleasing to Zhou Duan like this, and it's normal for the generals to dislike him.
Zhou Duan's words are often exaggerated and unreliable. For example, if you want to say that the color of a thing is white, you will definitely do your best to say it whiter than snow.
But Guo Shao didn't care. Zhou Duan said that he would just pick it up and listen to it himself, just as the ancients said, if you listen to both sides, you will be clear and partial, and you will be secret.
Li Chuyun said again: In my opinion, so many tribes in the Liao Kingdom are tied together, and the king is unpopular, and the weakness is that they are very scattered inside.Especially in the land of Youyun, most of them are Han people, and it is easier to persuade them to surrender than to siege the city.The time it took for Youzhou to be cut off was not very long. The Khitans did not trust the Han people, and the Han people in Youyun thought about their homes.The defenders in Waqiao Pass and other places are all Han generals, so they will not be willing to defend to the death. Once the Northern Expedition begins, the lord will attack the vanguard and persuade them to surrender.
Something makes sense.Guo Shao nodded, but he still had to prepare both ways and write a letter to get some raw materials to store them; once the enemy does not surrender, he will use gunpowder to blow up the city.Even if it is not useful to attack Waqiao Pass and other places, if the troops can reach Youzhou City and use gunpowder to siege the city, they will do their best to recover Youyun.
Li Chuyun said: What the lord said is very true, and preparation is indeed possible.However, I left the words here with the brothers who were here. Once the imperial army arrived, there would definitely be no fierce battles when they fought in Youzhou. I would just recruit surrenders along the way. The victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition was the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom.The current situation of the Liao Kingdom depends on whether they can send large troops to rescue, and whether the reinforcements can work together to protect Youzhou... Otherwise, most of the land in Youyun are Han people, and it is easy for the royal army to recover.
Li Chuyun looked back and said: Let’s see it tomorrow, spring will come.If I didn’t say it right, you can ridicule me in person, and I will definitely be able to mock it!
At this time, Zuo You said: I also agree with General Li's words.Together, if the lord is surrendered, he should treat the Han people in Youzhou equally. He has always heard that the people in this place are strong and many tragic people have been tragic since ancient times. If the lord wins the hearts of the people in Youzhou, his achievements will be in the long-term.
...Guo Shao took out his previous command system idea again.
He was restrained in Tokyo and couldn't make trouble. Now he led his troops out as long as he didn't leave the base too far, why would he be the commander's words?
Now, without caring about the cold weather, I couldn't wait to start implementing it.
(The left wing consists of 39 commanders (including the cavalry directly under Dong Zunxun's headquarters). Guo Shao ordered the six armies and thirty-nine commanders to have a total of 45 generals, each general picks out six familiar personal soldiers and forms a commander of about 270 people; below the command, there are three Dutou, twelve ten generals, and forty-five fire chiefs.
Luo Mengzi also led the commander of the commander, and transferred fifteen soldiers of the personal guards to be regarded as more than ten generals.
In this way, Luo Mengzi and the generals can gradually recognize these messengers.
In the future, there will be no need for so many procedures to pass on the orders, and it is better to recognize people; generally speaking, simple military orders are oral, and important military orders are in writing.
These 270 people were divided into two after entering the battlefield.Half stayed in the central army, and the other half was scattered around their respective chief generals to communicate with each other.
Guo Shao added another measure to this system. He issued the signatures and handwritings of Zuo You and Zhou Duan. The written military order must be signed by one of the three.There are also multiple anti-counterfeiting items such as order flags and generals stamping letters. These things can be stamped and they are not complicated.)
Zuo You and Zhou Duan are not as idle as before. They formed a staff office and selected some literate soldiers from the army as helpers.
First build up the aides of a staff member similar to the General Staff.
After Guo Shao formed the staff office and the messenger organization, he couldn't wait to start the drill.
He felt that the operation of confrontation exercises was too complicated and the conditions were insufficient, so he only allowed the departments to conduct simulation and mobilize and march.
It was agreed that the drill would start around November 1, and he and the generals made some military law adjustments and preparations in advance.
Zhao Kuangyin implemented an elimination system in the front office of the palace, and Guo Shao was also fiddling, but he did not eliminate the soldiers, but only conducted organizational drills.
It was snowing heavily on November 1st, and it was sunny on the second day and the wind was light.Each unit assigns troops to gather on the open space by the river.
The world is covered with white space and the river has frozen.
When Guo Shao left the tent, he vomited white steam during his breathing, and the weather was very cold.
The crowd rushed forward and came to the front of the formation, and saw nearly 20,000 people gathered in a formation. The white snow made the horse look dark. The left and right wings were more than one mile apart, and the array was relatively dense.
Each unit ordered its own troops, and then the generals came up to report, just like they were on weekdays.Then Guo Shao just said: Act according to the order.
At that moment, the Central Army camp beat drums, Guo Shao took out a messy booklet and ordered: Let the horse soldiers of the Third Army Dong Zunxun approach north, and the straw man target was the enemy, search for the enemy's combat!
The messenger quickly took the military order and rode his horse with the order flag.
Not long after, the horse army on the left wing began to move, and the horse's hooves roared and thousands of cavalry were moving.
Guo Shao was very happy to see this and soon ordered the five commanders of Yang Biao's troops to follow up and reinforce the horse soldiers; Deng Fei's troops detoured from the right wing to attack.
After the troops arrived at the battlefield, they sent commanders back to report the situation.
Guo Shao then began to issue one or two fake military orders, and the ones sent were not sent out, and there were no seals of the Central Army and signatures.
Later, the orders became more and more complicated; the military orders explained the intentions of the central army in large quantities and ordered the divisions to temporarily judge the situation and move on their own... However, the situation was not optimistic, and the divisions began to run around before noon, because some ambiguous military orders made the generals confused; for other reasons, the simple conditions and the preparation for drills were not good, and the generals could not imagine the situation at all.
However, the overall effect is still good, and the transmission system is very fast, but everyone is not very adaptable.
Next, Guo Shao gathered the army every now and then forgetting the fifty or sixty generals to discuss and summarize the combat intentions.
In each illusory battle, we chose familiar battles, such as the several battles of attacking Shu Kingdom and the various battles in Huainan, and carried out simulated mobilization.
When summoning the generals of the Central Army, Guo Shao said: The future military orders may only be describing the intention, because the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Central Army Shogunate cannot understand the situation in time... For example, we are going to ambush the enemy somewhere, and I will call you, Luo Yanhuan ambush on the road; as a result, you find that the enemy does not follow that road, do you still have to lie there and wait stupidly?
When all the generals heard this, they probably understood and burst into laughter.
Guo Shao said: So I can only send someone to send orders, Luo Yanhuan, you send someone to set up an ambush somewhere.Our intention is to ambush, and how to lie to the enemy depends on General Luo's decision in accordance with the form and temporary decision.Then you send a scout to discover the enemy's movements. As long as you find a way to achieve the intention of ambush, you will be considered as making meritorious in accordance with military orders.
Guo Shao also said: In the future, we will reward soldiers at the left wing. In addition to winning, we mainly depend on whether the combat intention is completed.The tribes are united with the goal of winning a battle; otherwise, no matter how many tribes win a certain tribe, what's the use of the entire army being defeated?
The Hujie Army was stationed outside Qizhou City. In a short period of time, Guo Shao did a lot of things and changed the military rules of the Zuoxiang to a total of 70% and 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% of 8
He extended the rules in some small circles to six armies. After the war, he received rewards from the court, and divided the benefits and money to cover the soldiers who were killed and injured, and calculated a part of the military salary and rewards in the army to provide pensions to his family... The original rules of the Imperial Army, Ma Ge died if he was in a body, and unless those who made merits and died, the emperor and the Privy Council would provide additional posthumous pensions.
Guo Shao's approach diluted the benefits that everyone could get, but no one objected.
After all, if you work hard, everyone will die.
He felt that doing this would make people humanized and strengthen the centripetal force of the organization.
Everything is exploring and discussing changes with everyone. Guo Shao feels that there is no need to stick to the rules. There is a better way to just change the rules.
There was also a visiting provincial envoy in the army, Zan Jurun, who probably reported the situation in a small way, but no one in the court paid attention to Guo Shao... Guo Shao wrote another letter to ask for raw materials, saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to prepare.
He actually didn't want to conquer the city, especially in Youzhou, but when he really couldn't capture it for a long time, he probably couldn't hide it. Besides, if he could recover Youzhou, he also wanted to help Chai Rong do his best.
Guo Shao wrote a letter to Fu Ermei, writing three letters in a row, telling her about the situation in Qizhou, the cold weather and the heavy military affairs, and then she must tell some longing; say some private words, no woman in the army occasionally dreams of being with her, etc.
Anyway, it was just a private letter, so Guo Shao didn't pay much attention.
He immediately commended the governor of Qizhou, and did not care about not being able to enter the city.
After October, the weather became colder when the north wind blew, and fortunately there was plenty of fuel.
The generals supplied firewood, charcoal and charcoal to various departments, and burned charcoal day and night in the felt-topped tent, and no one wanted to go out.
Before going to bed, Guo Shao put the iron cup he had eaten with water outside the tent. When he got up early the next morning, he had frozen a thick layer of ice all night.
