"I hope this adjustment will not cause the generals in front to fall into chaos!"

Zhao Xi has always opposed this kind of behavior in the court to dictate to the front line, and has stated such views in public more than once.

In fact, the current strategic adjustment of the imperial court is different from the original Israeli army's fixed combat steps, and then constantly urging, reprimanding and restricting the generals in front.

Even in later generations, the responsibility for strategic adjustment is the responsibility of the rear headquarters.

"Officials, in this war, the imperial court has given unprecedented power to the neighbors of the generals in front to make decisions. The veterans are even worried about the old affairs of the previous court. It is proper for the imperial court to adjust the combat strategy according to the progress of the war. The veterans want to see who has the right complain!"

Regarding the government's decision to let the generals have unlimited authority to fight, there were many opponents in the cabinet at the beginning, but it was because the officials decided to do so that the edict was finally formed.

Even the veto power of civil servants under certain circumstances mentioned by the cabinet members was resolutely rejected by the officials.

In the end, it was just that the right to perform separately for the army and above the military ranks was reserved... This is actually not much different from usual.After all, there have always been civil servants and supervisors in the army.

Zhao Xi’s original words: Let professional people do professional things.

So far, the battle has been going smoothly without any major accidents.This is also the basis for cabinet ministers not to criticize the generals ahead.As for partial teachers, although some of them acted excessively, the surprise they brought to the court made them more attractive.

"Officials, it would be a little hasty to say which army is coming. The veteran thinks that there is only Gao Taiwei's department. Due to the natural barrier of Hengshan and the vast sea, Xixia's defenses in the Hengshan area are relatively weak, and they cannot dig trenches to stop the army from advancing."

"Now Gao Taiwei's department can be regarded as advancing triumphantly. The army has passed Bole City and is approaching Yaode City. At this time, let it turn to the west to relieve the pressure of Di Qing's battle against the two major military divisions of Xixia. For Gao Taiwei's department It should be a little reconciled!"

What Zhang Fangping was gratified about was exactly what Zhao Xi was worried about.

Indeed, according to the progress of the various armies at present, Gao Zunyu's troops should be the first army to arrive at Xingqing Mansion... They can already see the city walls of Xiping Mansion, and it can be said that the breakthrough is just around the corner.

At this time, the imperial court suddenly ordered them to turn back, not to mention Gao Zunyu, it is estimated that the generals, civil servants, and supervisors below would all have opinions.Whoever faced the credit at their fingertips and was suddenly blocked by the court would inevitably feel a little bit reluctant.

"Everyone, instead of saying that I am adjusting the strategy to preserve the combat power of the partial division and let the partial division play more roles, it is better to say that I am worried about Gao Zunyu's department!"

"Everyone, please see that at present, except for Gao Zunyu's department, the other departments have only solved the problem of advancing chariots, and the method is to fight infantry formations with infantry formations. This requires continuous fighting to continue to advance."

"Looking at the current situation of the two sides, Zhejimin and Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi are in a stalemate with Zhuoluocheng; Diqing has two parts, one part fights in Huizhou, and the other arrives in Weizhou; the Zhongja part is in a decisive battle around Hongzhou; Guo Kui's part is in Yinzhou launched a counterattack; Li Xian's department only cleared the camps along the way."

"Gao Zunyu's troops alone have rushed hundreds of miles away. I was wondering if this was done on purpose by the Xixia people. If I deploy Xixia's defense, I must concentrate most of my forces to attack a certain team, or release a certain team." A team goes deep, and has never formed a tendency to encircle and annihilate it in Xixia territory!"

"Undoubtedly, among the many generals, Li Xian and Gao Zunyu are the most suitable to deal with. Because of the area where Li Xian's troops are advancing, and the Xixia people take care of the general situation, the encirclement and annihilation of Li Xian's troops by various military divisions is a labor expedition, and they all need to stay away from their respective defense zones. "

"For the rest, Gao Zunyu's department is the most suitable. The reason why Gao Zunyu's department rushed so smoothly is not only because of Hengshan and Hanhai, but also because of the intention of the Xixia people."

"Once Gao Zunyu's army advances alone, the Xiangqing Army of Xixia Xiping Mansion will fight head-on, and the Jiayou Army Division can send a cavalry westward to attack Gao Zunyu's right wing; similarly, the Jingsai Army Division will block Di Qing by relying on successive camps. With the advancing speed of the army, it is absolutely possible to send cavalry to attack the left flank of Gao Zunyu's army."

"At that time, or if we don't stop the advance of Gao Zunyu's department in time, such a trend will surely form in the area of ​​Xiping Mansion!"

"One more thing, if I lead this siege, I don't even need to mobilize more soldiers to directly participate in the battle, I just need to break the embankment of the Yellow River in the upper reaches of the vast sea..."

Zhao Xi didn't want to talk about it, but with Gao Zunyu's eagerness for quick success, if the court didn't stop it in time, the final result would be really unpredictable.

"Officials, the veteran thinks that the imperial court needs to send an urgent order, and must order Gao Zunyu's department to go west quickly!"

The official said this on the map. After watching the official's fingers move, Fu Bi felt that the official's analysis would definitely become a fact.

Gao Zunyu is in danger!

Chapter 711 Reaction of all parties

No battle is set in stone.

The offensive and defensive aspects of war are not static.Just like now, it is Song Dynasty who is attacking Xixia with all its strength, and Song Dynasty is the attacking side.

It is precisely because of the power of the country that it is destined that in the territory of the Song Dynasty, except for the routine stability, almost all the military forces of the country are on the front line.

There is a disadvantage in this way. If there is any mistake in the army along the way, the Xixia cavalry can quickly enter the territory of the Song Dynasty through this gap. At that time, the Song Dynasty will become the defensive side... The result is unimaginable.

This is also the reason why Fu Bi anxiously asked the court to urgently order Gao Zunyu to turn west after listening to the officials' narration.

Guochao's combat power crushed Xixia with its superiority in armaments. Although the individual combat capabilities of soldiers have improved, there is no good solution to the problem of infantry fighting cavalry.

The infantry formation should be said to be the only way.

However, most of the country's military forces are fighting against Xixia, and a small part is guarding Beiliao, Annan Dali and other countries.

Once Gao Zunyu's troops made a mistake and lost tens of thousands of soldiers...even the Xixia cavalry used Huanqing as an incision, and the cavalry drove straight in from Huanqing, that would be a disaster for the country!

Sigh... If I knew that I should dissuade the officials, I shouldn't be so desperate!

Compared with the state capital of Xixia, the wealth of Song Dynasty is not comparable to that of Xixia, that is the difference between porcelain and earthen pots.

The countries and dynasties simply cannot afford to gamble on the issue of allowing each other to cause chaos.

As far as Zhao Xi was worried, it wasn't that serious.

This is just an assumption, it is Zhao Xi putting himself in the position of the king of Xixia, facing such an offensive from the country, Zhao Xi is thinking about what he will do.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are experts in Xixia who have such a strategic vision, dare to put aside Xingqing and Yinxia, ​​concentrate on breaking through Gao Zunyu, and then enter the territory of Song Dynasty...~

At that time, it may not be the way out for Xixia to trade space for space, and Guochao throws a mouse-snapping weapon.

"Fu Xiang, the imperial court can expedite the edict, but there is no need to worry too much."

"Fuxiang, my considerations like this are based on the fact that Xixia is also a system of great unification and centralized power, just like the Guo Dynasty."

"In fact, although Xixia has been correcting their own system since Li Yuanhao. After so many years, Xixia still has not changed the essence of their co-ownership."

"The king of Xixia does not have the right to directly govern all Xixia subjects, but manages through the leaders of various tribes and nobles."

"Li Yuanhao is indeed a great talent. Unfortunately, since Li Yuanhao, Xixia has dominated the weak and the strong, and the disputes between the descendants and powerful officials have become more and more obvious. As a result, Xixia has not completed the collection of power at all."

"What I envisage is only based on the Guochao system. Concentrate all forces, use Huanqing as a breakthrough, enter Guochao's territory, occupy Huanqing, and thus gain bargaining chips with Guochao..."

"It's just that this idea may not be possible in Xixia! It is impossible for any force, every commander, to give up their own territory, nor can they give up their own territory."

"This determines that even if there is a mistake in Gao Zunyu's department, it is limited to Gao Zunyu's headquarters, and it will not affect the general situation. Besides, I don't think Gao Zunyu has the courage to dare to defy the imperial court."

"Delay the transition to battle, and break through as many frontier strongholds as possible, so as to maximize the contribution of the headquarters...~This is already the greatest possibility of Gao Zunyu's department!"

This is a major event, a major event related to the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is a descendant, the empress's uncle, if he really dares to disobey the imperial edict, Zhao Xi will never tolerate it.

A general who disobeys the imperial court, does not cherish the lives of soldiers, has no overall view, and only considers military merits is unqualified!

Although the officials have already explained the truth, the cabinet still issued the edict as quickly as possible, and repeatedly told the courier to deliver it as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the cabinet ministers unanimously requested Chief Inspector Fan Chunren to use the order of the Chief Inspector's Office to let the inspectors of Gao Zunyu's army follow Gao Zunyu's behavior closely. Combat command is handed over to the leader of Zhongyi!

The cabinet ministers also sent letters to all the civil servants of Gao Zunyu's army in the form of private letters, asking them to carry out the imperial edict...

The Gao family can't die. Since Taizu Icewine released his military power, these generals and aristocratic families are not guilty of treason or death!
