Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1366 Zhang Guo's Response

"Advance when you should advance, and retreat when you should retreat. Sometimes not everyone can do it!" Zhang Rong looked at Li Bao meaningfully, and said lightly: "Sometimes calm down and watch the young heroes succeed. Isn't it good for us to gallop across the sea and cut through the waves with our ambitions?"

"There is some truth in what you said. Our age is not suitable for traveling across the ocean!" Li Bao couldn't deny that he was over sixty, so he should let the younger generation take the lead, but Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo showed their sharpness, which made him feel bad. do not like.

"Okay, this battle is over, it's time for us to drink the sweet spring."

But he said that Li Changsheng rode his horse through the main road in the city, galloped to the sea, jumped off his horse and stared at the vast sea.

Zhang Guo also got off his horse and came to his side, sat down on a rock on the coast, let the splash of waves try on his clothes, but said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how angry you are, the commander-in-chief is not out of line. As the generals of the bodyguards and navy commanders, you and I naturally have to obey the Commander's restraint."

"Don't you really want to land in Kaesong and show off your might?" Li Changsheng opened his eyes, but seeing this guy's face full of indifference, he didn't get angry at all.

"You still don't understand?" Zhang Guo sneered, his tone clearly sarcasm.

"In this way, the guard navy will become a vassal of the Mabu army, and you would like to see it?" Li Changsheng said bitterly.

If Wang Xiu had been present, he would have found that the dispute between the armed forces had reached the point where fire and water could not be tolerated. Outstanding figures such as Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo had already seen the clues. Where there was an internal strategic disagreement, it was a merger between the yamen.

Today, the horse infantry guards and the chariot soldiers are gradually mixed, the technical equipment continues to increase, and the cooperation between the arms continues to deepen. The barriers between the horse infantry gradually disappear, and there is a faint shadow of the land army.

The navy guards made great achievements in the South China Sea and gained great wealth for the people of the country, but they didn't want to be seen in people's eyes. They were all fighting in the northwest and recovering their homeland.

In the eyes of the scholars and even the common people, the bodyguard navy has made great achievements, but the Xing Dynasty of the Song Dynasty was still based on farming and mulberry industry while taking care of business. The fear of the barbarians in the north was far greater than the worries in the south, which was the root cause of Lu Xianhai's death.

Zhang Guo raised his brows, and said lightly: "The head of the mountain let the guards and water army be independent from the northern guards. It is not without considering the balance of the sea route. It's just that most of the veterans are from the horse infantry. They have to sacrifice our best for their own final battle. Chance."

"Of course, the commander-in-chief dares to do this, and he has nothing to fear. The chief of the mountain has nothing to do with Gao Li, and he is the reliance of these veterans."

"Hey, sir, why doesn't he pay much attention to Goryeo, but cares about the Wa country? I really don't understand." Li Changsheng sighed.

Zhang Guo rubbed his nose. If you want to talk about the two countries in the Northeast Sea, Wang Xiu should pay attention to the Japanese country. He must first conquer Koryo, and then use it as a springboard. Don’t look at the joy of Wu Xuan, that’s the same. Da Song sea boat support.

This is all the temple's calculations, and it's not his turn to worry about it. He said: "How can you and I speculate on what the mountain chief does? Let alone other things, don't think about other things if you have a commanding officer."

Li Changsheng was silent for a long time. He is also a battle-tested general, so he still has some adaptability. He said in a deep voice, "What good strategy do you have?"

"Joke, you are the commander of the Northern Fleet, why do you ask me?" Zhang Guo rolled his eyes and kicked the ball back very manly.

Li Changsheng was almost choked to death, he couldn't help but stare fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "You're welcome, whether it's Yanshan or Gaoli, the final decisive battle depends on the Tiger Wing Army. How capable are you, let me tell you first." Look."

How capable are you?Zhang Guo almost fell into the sea, he gritted his teeth and said, "Du Shen has been planning for many years, why are you asking me again?"

"If not, sir, if you can recommend me, it will be fine for you to be the vice governor." Li Changsheng smiled rarely, and he hadn't joked for many years.

"I'm not talking to you, do you think that with two armies of tiger wings, even if the main force of the captives goes south, they can be sure to take Yanshanfu Road?" Zhang Guo stopped abruptly with a smile on his face.

Li Changsheng was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, the two armies were less than 2 people, even if the main force of them went south, what could you do against Jiancheng?It is nothing more than to contain the opponent's main force and support the horse infantry going north. To put it bluntly, it is still a supporting role.

"The primary duty of the bodyguard navy is to control waterways, cut off traffic, protect caravans, and project troops, which is the essence of using the sea to control the land. The countries in the South China Sea are small in size, with low cities and shallow moats, weak military forces, and waterways extending in all directions. The various units of the wing army are able to wait for the enemy's weak points, and a thunderous strike can often get twice the result with half the effort." Zhang Guo was a little lazy, talking eloquently.

"The surrounding area of ​​Yanshan Mountain has been run by captives for many years. Even if the main force goes south, we can leave a lot of elites as an emergency. Our army is only more than ten thousand people, and it is impossible to carry many township troops. Everything must be carried by the army. I am afraid it will not last long. persist in.

"Unless we occupy a solid landing field and establish a strong defensive position, we can pass through sea ships and use our manpower and material resources continuously. However, landing in the eastern part of Yanshan Mountain is just a flank of the frontal army, and it is impossible to receive continuous reinforcements. If we need to defend against the city and send light cavalry to harass us, our army will not be able to support it."

"It's a pity that the commander-in-chief won't think about it. He must invest manpower and material resources, even if he is trapped in a corner." Li Changsheng said bitterly. He knew the conservativeness of these veterans, and only Shangguanqian, who often went south, could understand them. .

"Of course, these veteran generals wish to restore Jibei, but they don't know that the leader of the mountain has great ambitions." Zhang Guo ruthlessly pushed the seawater, and said: "If you want to use your troops in Goryeo, you can use Goryeo soldiers as a support. Outer islands Relying on it, forming an army of tens of thousands to go north, can completely deal a fatal blow to the hinterland of the captives, why the commander-in-chief can't see it."

"It's really not possible. You must not lose face in Yanshan." Li Changsheng was also powerless, and could only choose the lesser of two evils.

"It's not impossible to fight." Zhang Guo said to himself.

"Oh, there is a good way to change it, let's talk about it quickly." Li Changsheng, a drowning man, looked at this mistake eagerly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"It's still appropriate to submit the report." Zhang Guo shook his head and said.

"No, you and I will discuss the control of the two majorities, and you can directly report it to the commanding commander." Li Changsheng also had no choice.

"This is just an alternative plan, and our plan does not necessarily fail." Zhang Guo said thoughtfully.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Li Changsheng was not a fool either, as he thought of the Korean mission's back and forth, his eyes seemed to lighten up.

"It's hard to say. Be prepared. The change of the landing location will cause a difference in status. We will never fight, at least it will be important." Zhang Guo curled his lips and said noncommittally.
