The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Profiting from chaos requires great attention to timing, and the timing of plotting is very important.

Entering Guanzhong now will, on the one hand, have a negative impact on the people of the world and stab people in the back. On the other hand, the current strength of the Anxi Army is not in place. Therefore, we still have to wait and wait until the situation worsens before taking action.

The current situation is a race against time. Complete all preparations for the explosion as soon as possible, so that the Anxi Army can intervene in the world's melee as soon as possible.

"General Yao and Liang Shuai must have heard of each other before, right? As fate would have it, they are gathered at my Anxi camp today. I won't say more polite words about Song. Now the world has undergone great changes. The two of them used to be in Xiang and Zheng. His fame and grievances have become a thing of the past and should be let go.

Nowadays, the Mi Meng people are sweeping across the world, and they are like whales swallowing up the whole world. Song is not talented, but he wants to do something when the world is in chaos, and do things to protect the country and the people. I sincerely hope that the talented people in the world can help me.

But in today's situation, our Anxi Governor's Mansion has three ways to go. The first thing to do is to save all the people in the world from fire and water, and prevent the violent army of Mi Meng from destroying the world. The second step is to stabilize the northwest border, based on the two provinces of Shaanxi and Suzhou and the two regions, to protect the people and restore the world when the time is right. Thirdly, it is to protect the area currently occupied, retain the foundation, and save the world when the times change.

These three goals are a step-by-step strategy. No matter which step we can finally achieve, the most important thing now is to expand our troops. Both of them are veteran generals who have experienced battles for a long time and should be put to use. Song plans to let the two of them serve in our headquarters to advise on military affairs. What do you think? "

After much deliberation, Song Yingkui felt that the current Anxi Army's biggest shortcoming was strategic decision-making. Liang Huonv and Yao Dake were both high-ranking military officers of a large country. It would be a waste to let them sit around, but putting them to work in the headquarters would be the best use of their resources.

Song Yingkui has already thought about how to use Liang Huonv and let him serve as the executive deputy director of the General Staff Office. Given Liang Huonv's status in Xiang's army, it would be too risky to let her have substantial military power.

But in terms of personal ability, his strategic vision and judgment ability are definitely not bad. Beixiang was once a serious superpower. Senior military officials like Liang Huonv had fought countless battles over a wide range of operations. The most important thing was that Beixiang’s high-ranking military leaders were very practical when fighting. With a grasp of strategy, tactics, and logistics, a serious person can mount a horse to manage the army and dismount to manage the people.

No matter the final success or failure, at least his experience is something that no one among the current generals of the Anxi Army has. Such a person can be used!

As for Yao Dake, Song Yingkui is actually not optimistic about his ability. His ability is neither above nor below, and it is difficult for him to make a difference in the Anxi Army.

In total, Yao Dake can be considered a senior general in the Zheng army, and the honors he carries are equivalent to those of a second-grade military general. However, Dazheng's high-ranking generals are too watery. Even if they are first-class generals, their actual military qualities are the requirements for brigade-level generals in the Anxi Army.

In Dazheng, no matter what level of military generals they were, they were only involved in tactical command when facing the enemy, not strategic decision-making. The real battles and the actual command and decision-making of the front armies are controlled by the civilian officials sent by the DPRK and the Central Government, and the military generals are the executors and the mascots who intimidate the soldiers.

The reason why the Mimeng people were able to achieve such significant results in a short period of time this time had a lot to do with Zheng Jun's unreliable military command methods.

The ones who really have soldiers are soldiers like Yao Dake, but the troops like Yao Dake and others are at most no more than 10,000, and they are simply unable to deal with the Mongol army alone, nor can they act flexibly at the strategic level. The power of the warlords without troops is considerable, but they rushed into battle and were not familiar with their military leaders. Their control over the army was quite weak, and many of them lacked military quality. The final result was a complete collapse. .

Not all civilian officials can lead the army, and not all civilian officials are unreliable in commanding the military. Song Yingkui doesn't think there is any big problem in using culture to control force. The key issue is how to use it.

Civilian leaders must also undergo a large number of actual combat tests to determine whether they are reliable. To suddenly put a man with no war experience in charge of an important war commander is to gamble. To bet on the fate of the country is that this man is a war genius. It is strange that he can be relied upon!

Zheng Jun has not fought any decent battles in recent years. The generals' war experience is relatively good. Where can the civilian officials go to accumulate experience? The governors who took on the important task of commanding the front army this time were all important ministers temporarily dispatched from the court. Obviously, there were no geniuses this time.

If he hadn't considered that many high-level generals who had fled from the Dazheng system would be recruited in the future, Song Yingkui would not have planned to use people like Yao Dake.

In terms of actual ability, Yao Dake can only be a brigade commander, but he is not familiar with the grassroots tactics of the Anxi Army, and he has bad habits that are common among Zheng Army generals such as drinking soldiers' blood and seeking personal gain. He certainly cannot be placed in the army. Go to the grassroots level to control the troops.

In a decision-making department like the headquarters, he doesn't have the ability and quality in this area, so isn't he just useless?

"If the governor can use Liang (Yao), he will work hard for the governor's ambitions." There is no problem with the attitude of the two. Liang Huonv has already contributed a lot to the Anxi military system, so she is not interested in entering Anxi. The military's high-level command system has some ideas in mind. Yao Dake realized that if he didn't take the initiative, he would not even be able to embrace the big tree of Anxi Army. Now was the critical period to choose the leader.

In order to buy bones for a thousand dollars, Song Yingkui assigned Yao Dake a high position. He was the deputy director of the headquarters' training department, responsible for assisting the chief officer of the training department in recruiting and training new troops. Let's see if he can use Zheng Jun's experience in training troops and horses to exert some residual heat.

In other words, although Zheng Jun has a poor record, their tactical experience and organizational methods cannot be worthless. As far as the military organization system is concerned, the reference significance of the Zheng Army is greater than that of the armies such as Beixiang and Mimeng! Because the underlying social structure supporting the Anxi Army is definitely closer to Dazheng than to the grassland regime.

The Anxi Army certainly cannot and cannot learn from what the Beixiang and Mimeng armies did! Zheng Jun has a system structure that has been inherited and evolved for thousands of years. How could it be that there is no point in learning and absorbing it at all?

Just when Song Yingkui was arranging contingency plans in Huizhou and eagerly paying attention to the war situation in the Central Plains, the Dazheng court sent people to Huizhou!

This time, the people from Dazheng came to deliver the message. The content of the edict is: to confer the title of Song Yingkui as the envoy of Ansu, General of Zhenxi, and Duke of Xia. Xueliang of Song Dynasty was granted the title of General Lintao and Marquis of Jingyuan. Yang Shunan was granted the title of Deputy General of Zhenxi and Marquis of Jingbian. Jiang Yunjin was granted the title of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Governor of Xisu...

Judging from the decree, several senior officials of the Anxi Army, including Song Yingkui, received the rewards and became high-ranking officials of Dazheng! According to common sense, this is an encounter with wealth that I have never dared to imagine in several lifetimes!
