Chapter 215 Indisstitue
For Xiao Tianjian's order to stop the practice of continuing to attack, the generals of Xing Tianjun did not quite understand. They felt that the new defeat of the officers and soldiers at present was the time when the army was full of great strength. It was time for the Xing Tianjun to continue to expand. It was better to simply occupy the whole Shanxi. At least take the southern part of Shanxi. Next, several important generals gathered in Xiao Tianjian's account and wanted to ask Xiao Tianjian why they didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity to go straight to Jinzhong or west to capture the Jinnan Plain, and shouted that they wanted to continue fighting.
In the face of this questioning of the generals, Xiao Tianjian looked at Fu Deming sitting on his left hand. Fu Deming did not speak, but seemed to be thinking about something. So Xiao Tianjian glanced at his generals faintly, and finally slowly stood up and walked to the map in the big tent. Face, turn around the body.
The generals didn't know what Xiao Tianjian wanted to say, so they focused on the map behind Xiao Tianjian.
After Xiao Tianjian glanced at the generals again, he opened his mouth to deal with Deming by name and asked, "Mr. Fu, you brothers can't figure out why I stopped attacking now, so I don't know if Mr. Fu doesn't agree with my arrangement?"
After hearing this, Fu Deming immediately understood that this was Xiao Tianjian's ability to consider his mastery of the current situation, so he stood up and cleared his throat and replied, "General, I fully agree with the general's arrangement!"
"Oh? Why is this? How about Mr. Fu talking to everyone? Xiao Tianjian looked at Fu Deming with his hands behind his back and asked him.
Fu Deming then replied loudly, "The general is wise. If he thinks well, then the general should have considered the current situation comprehensively!
Although in the past year, our army has won a series of victories in this place, defeated several arrays of officers and soldiers, and their strength has also developed very rapidly, occupying a lot of territory, compared with the current strength of our army and the government, there is no more advantage!
Although the official army is newly defeated, it has not hurt its muscles and bones at all for the court. Whether it is Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng or even Shanxi, there are still a large number of elite officers and soldiers. If it continues to fight, it is bound to attract the court to gather more troops to encircle and suppress us.
In this way, with the current strength of our army, it may be difficult to win! After all, after two months of fierce fighting, our army has consumed a lot. Although the generals are brave, the soldiers are exhausted. If you continue to use a lot of troops, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no loss!
And just now, the generals proposed to enter Jinzhong in the north or the Jinnan Plain in the west. It seems that the current strength of our army may not be good, but in the bottom, it is really an unwise move!"
The generals heard Fu Deming say that they were not smart, so they were a little unhappy. They all looked at Fu Deming one after another, and Xiao Tianjian's eyebrows began to relax a little. He nodded and said, "Mr. Fu went on! Why are you doing this for the sake of wisdom?
After Fu Deming smiled bitterly, he raised his legs and walked to the front of the map. He picked up a wooden stick from the shelf and clicked on the map and said, "Look, everyone, although the Jinzhong and Jinnan Plain are prosperous and rich places, this place is close to the land of the imperial court and capital. The reason why we are now not attracted the mobilization of the imperial court. More heavy soldiers came to suppress it precisely because we temporarily live in a corner of Jinnan. Although the Shanxi government does not want to see us here, after all, we are not strong enough to make the court pay special attention to us!
But if we brazenly enter Jinzhong, we will threaten the capital directly from the side. In this way, how can the court sit down from us on the side of the couch? I will immediately mobilize all kinds of elite soldiers to enter Jin to suppress me! Although our army will be brave, how can we resist so many troops?
Looking at the Jinnan area, at present, we have controlled most of Yangcheng, Yuanqu, Qinshui and Zezhou, and our power has expanded to Yicheng and Fushan. This area is mostly mountainous and foresty, which is suitable for our military activities. Xiezhou and Jiangzhou, south of Pingyang Prefecture, have always been Shanxi granaries, and the terrain is also a place of Pingchuan. I If the army brazenly occupies it, it will also attract great attention from the court! We will definitely transfer heavy troops to suppress it, and the plain is not under our jurisdiction now. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Even if we can easily take down these sites, once the officers and soldiers come to suppress them, it will be difficult to defend these places with our current strength!
So I said that it is not wise to continue to expand now!
What's more, we have occupied a lot of new territory at present. We can only say that our foothold is not stable in these places. Even the broken soldiers and bandits in our current jurisdiction have not been eliminated, so we continue to seize a larger territory. It is inevitable that there will be greed for everything, so that we will suffer from it!
Therefore, I think that it is wise for the general to do so, not to be timid! The general must want to take this opportunity to take the territory we have gained, firmly control it in our hands, and continue to accumulate strength!
General, I don't know what the inferior position said is what the general thinks?
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian nodded and smiled, "Mr. Fu, who knows me! Well said! That's right! That's exactly what I thought! You guys have just won a few battles, and then you are carried away! You want to be a fat man in one bite, but you actually want to take down the whole Shanxi in the hinterland of Jinzhong with thousands of troops. Your appetite is really big enough!
Fighting is not a bad thing, but you guys should also know how much appetite we have before we have. As the saying goes, we can't chew too much. If the territory is big, there must be more benefits!
After this period of fierce battle, the troops of our current soldiers have only five or 6,000 people left. In addition, the mobilized township barracks are no more than 10,000, but we want to seize more territory. We can fight, but can we stand?
You are too underestimated as the current court. With the strength of the current court, it is far from the time when we can kick him down. What we need to do now is not to grab as much land as possible, but to manage the place we have occupied as soon as possible!
Also, after two months of war, our ammunition consumption is huge. The gunpowder we stored last year was almost exhausted, and then hit it. What did we use? And you guys just want to fight and kill, and don't consider these problems at all!
In addition, in the past few months last winter and this spring, there has been almost no snow in Shanxi, and the drought has become a foredict. The spring drought in our jurisdiction has also shown signs. If the grain in our jurisdiction cannot be planted this spring, what will so many people eat this autumn and winter? Have you ever considered these?
So, we can't do things with enthusiasm. Everything we do should be based on our foundation. If even the people in our jurisdiction can't support us, who will believe us in the future? Who will follow us to fight against the court?
After saying this, Xiao Tianjian's face turned cold and he glanced at his men angrily.
After listening to Xiao Tianjian and Fu Deming, Luo Li, Shi Ran, Zhao Erli and Wang Chengping gradually began to wake up from the frenzy of the initial victory. They knew that they thought things too simple, and they also saw that Xiao Tianjian was angry with their short-sightedness. So they immediately put away their arrogance and lowered their heads, avoided Xiao Tianjian's anger, and did not dare to quarrel any more.
Seeing that these guys were no longer so arrogant, Xiao Tianjian's face slowed down a little and said to these guys, "You have worked hard in the past two months!" Look at you, almost all of them are injured. How can I not know why you want to continue to fight? You are also thinking about our Xing Tianjun, which is very gratifying! However, it is really unwise to continue to fight now, and what we need to do is to firmly control the occupied area in our hands as soon as possible, so that the brothers can rest in case of fighting in the future! What you have to do now is to eliminate the remnants of the defeated soldiers and bandits in our jurisdiction as soon as possible, and return the people in our jurisdiction to the purity! Start spring ploughing as soon as possible. If you miss this season, don't say anything! We can only hold our tails and continue to wander around like everyone else! Do you have anything else to say?"
After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, these guys had nothing to say, so they immediately stood up together and answered the order loudly, and then followed Xiao Tianjian's instructions, but Xiao Tianjian left Feng Gouzi, Wang Chengping and Fu Deming in the account.
