Chapter 1040: I was scolded
Zhao Bing answered in a row to verify that the emperor was not a unique idea of his own leadership in the army. Many seniors had set an example for him. The conversation just now also reminded him of the reason why he was depressed for a while. Although he realized it later, he also knew in his heart that he had lost the opportunity to personally lead to his army. If he went there again at this time, it would not only arouse Wen Tianxiang's anger, but also a crisis of his own governance. You should know who would like a "bad boy" who changed his orders every day and was suspicious of his subordinates.
But Zhao Bing knew that he could not give in at the moment. Not to mention losing face in front of the concubines, the Western Expedition was just the beginning of a series of battles to recover the old land. At this moment, they could not be convinced. In the future, he would have to "drill the dog hole" even if he wanted to leave the palace. So for the sake of the future, he would also convince these wives who "feel sad" and be complacent about his wise decision just now. If there were more, this would cry and that would make a fuss, and he would be very annoyed.
"Your Majesty said it just now. I think Your Majesty knows the result of their personal expedition!" Wu Xi was not scared by the emperor, and asked after a moment of thought.
"This... Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, our Emperor Taizu and many kings personally fought for the victory and achieved brilliant results and found a foundation!" Zhao Bing was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment before saying with a smile.
Zhao Bing actually lacks confidence in what he said. As long as he is determined to sort out the emperors in history, he will find a surprising fact: no matter which kind of emperors are killed, angry to death, captured alive, or defeated and destroyed by the conflicting country.
However, he also noticed Wu Xi's name. Although both the official family and His Majesty both refer to the emperor, the official family is generally called privately, suitable for harems or people who are closer to each other. Of course, it is not ruled out that people who are not qualified and uneducated like Li Kui; while His Majesty is often used in formal occasions, such as between the monarch and the ministers, and at court meetings, they are all outsiders. Wu Xi changed his name to show that he was discussing official affairs with him, rather than discussing matters in private.
"Your Majesty, don't generalize and confuse right and wrong." Wu Xi also said with a stern face at this time, "Song Wu Emperor Liu Yu and our Taizu both came from military backgrounds. They think it is common for war and killing, and they are well-versed in governing the country. If they personally fight, they will naturally be invincible."
"The queen is afraid that the emperor is also arguing. If the emperor personally fights, who doesn't want to win? The battlefield changes rapidly, and the emperor is not a god. Slight failure or setbacks are inevitable. How can we generalize it?" Zhao Bing said. In his heart, he also secretly scolded the emperors who failed in fights. If there is no diamond, he should not take on porcelain work. Isn't this a negative teaching material for himself? But I also know that what Wu Xi said is true. Professionals do professional things naturally have higher success rates than those who guide outsiders, while the emperors in the world are not all experts in warfare.
"Hmph, I think it's Your Majesty who is inappropriate. Even though I know that the emperor is good at governing officials and governing government rather than leading the army to fight, Your Majesty must know the lessons of Emperor Yang of Sui!" At this time, Chen Shu interrupted.
"Emperor Yang of Sui is a foolish monarch. His actions have caused the resentment of heaven and people, which led to the failure of the personal expedition. Am I also a foolish monarch?" After hearing Chen Shu's words, everyone's first feeling was that the imperial concubine was really brave enough to say something. She dared to compare His Majesty with Emperor Yang of Sui, which was simply pointing at the nose and cursing people. Zhao Bing naturally had a black look on his face, but he couldn't resist what others said, and he slapped the table and said angrily, but he gave people the feeling that he was harsh and lacked confidence.
In fact, Zhao Bing had no choice. Emperor Yang of Sui had mixed reputations in history. He created the imperial examinations, opened the canals, unified the north and south, and abolished torture, and was also considered a good ruler. He was not a "Xiaobai" in military affairs. Before he ascended the throne, he participated in the battles with the Turks and Khitans, and gained something. In the fifth year of Daye, he personally queued Tuyuhun, set up the four counties of the West Sea, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Qiemo, and established a great military power.
However, Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed wrong in the conquest of Goryeo, and he was outrageously wrong and had not yet put himself in his position. Zhao Bing walked along the way and naturally knew that the emperor had come to the front line. In fact, his identity was automatically demoted from a leader of a country to a commander of the army. The most urgently needed quality was practical experience in commanding and combat, rather than Zi Chen's imperial politics. But some emperors could not understand this level, and they gave up their long and short, and exposed their butts when they arrived on the battlefield.
Emperor Yang of Sui thought that "the people of Goryeo cannot be regarded as my county" and that the expedition of Goryeo would be a battle without war. Therefore, he took politics first in everything and ordered the army not to act without authorization, and to respond to front and back, coordinate with left and right, and to put the score of the Chinese Empire in full swing. He also ordered the implementation of conquest and pacification on Goryeo, and if the Goryeo people were willing to surrender, they would stop attacking. Even though the generals of the army knew that this style of fighting was wrong, no one dared to raise any dissent. So he marched honestly and took more than 40 days to set off alone, completely losing the initiative.
When the attack was rushing to the city, the Goryeo people could not hold on, and once they could not hold on, they sent envoys to surrender. The Sui army generals did not dare to dedicate themselves. When they saw the enemy surrender, they would fly to ask Emperor Yang to make a decision. With the envoys back and forth, the Goryeo people were ready to defend themselves. After this, the Sui army was exhausted and futile. Although the Goryeo people's behavior was similar to a rogue, who would reason with you on the battlefield? Since you were foolish first, you could not blame others for being hooligan. Emperor Yang also violated a taboo in the army and assigned a comfort envoy to each army. The envoy should be in charge of recruiting the Goryeo people, not being controlled by the generals of the country, resulting in a situation where one army and two leaders were ordered to go out.
The Goryeo people sent their prime minister Yizhi Wende to find out the truth in the name of negotiating surrender. This person was the number one important official of Goryeo. General Yu Zhongwen wanted to detain him, but unexpectedly, the comforting and comforting envoys were responsible for being charged with obstructing surrender. They let Yizhi Wende go and gave up a good opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength. As a result, under Emperor Yang's worries, the generals of the Sui army collectively remained silent, and were dragged down by the Goryeo people among the forces of each other, waiting and not entering and leaving the troops. The Sui army with more than one million people was defeated.
To be fair, it is correct to attract distant people to conquer the nation with their might and put them at the level of national political decision-making. What is wrong is that Emperor Yang of Sui did not recognize the fact that he changed from an emperor to a commander-in-chief of the front line, and regarded political decision-making as a combat strategy to guide the army. This is equivalent to eating noodles with a spoon and drinking soup with chopsticks, and making the generals unable to do so. How can there be a reason to be invincible?
"Your Majesty is familiar with history books. You should know the battle of Gongsun Shu in the Eastern Han Dynasty to conquer Shu in Shu and the battle of Liu Yao, the former Emperor of Zhao, against the battle of Liu Yao in the Later Zhao!" At this time, Concubine De Zhang Ping asked with a smile again.
"Of course I know!" Zhao Bing felt that Zhang Ping was becoming more and more like her legendary grandfather, and she had a tendency to inherit her 'Full Hall' name. She was very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. No matter how tense the atmosphere was, she could often resolve it in just a few words. The scene was a bit awkward. He was obviously at a disadvantage under the aggressive questioning of several people. He took it for granted that he must have spoken for him at this moment, so he nodded very gently.
"Then Your Majesty must have known that Liu Yao was captured in his personal expedition, which led to the loss of the country. Emperor Wu Liu Xiu sent his generals to the expedition, and although he lost his generals one after another, he won the victory!" Zhang Ping also replied very gently.
"You...you, I really love you in vain!" After hearing this, Zhao Bing's smile instantly frozen. After a while, he covered his chest and pointed at him with his fingers, and said with grief and anger.
"Don't Your Majesty also say that helping others or not? I think what the Empress and the Imperial Concubine said was reasonable, but there was no intention to slander Your Majesty. I believe that Your Majesty would not have loved me just because I told a few words of truth, right?" Zhang Ping immediately stood up and bowed, and said in fear and fear.
"Okay, you're very good. I'll love you well in the future!" Zhao Bing looked at Zhang Ping, who seemed to be frightened but had a smile on his lips, and wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw his slightly raised belly, he could only bit his teeth and squeeze out his smile.
Although Zhang Ping was absent just now, how could Zhao Bing not hear that he was "adviking" himself in disguise. In order to crush the offensive of Later Zhao, Emperor Zhao Liu Yao led his army to fight against Luoyang. This Hu man was a good man by nature. When he was young, he was very drunk and became even worse when he was old. As a result, he went out drunk and was seriously injured and captured. The early regime and military organization of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms were very simple, and their operations were maintained by the emperor or the commander himself. As soon as Liu Yao was captured, the army that could have fought with the enemy collapsed instantly and was defeated by Later Zhao.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty's battle against Gongsun Shu in Shu, two consecutive commanders of the Han army were assassinated by Gongsun Shu assassin. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu immediately ordered Wu Han to replace the commander, and the Han army's offensive remained unabated. Once the two emperors died, the great cause of the northern expedition would give way to the top major event of the inheritance and handover of imperial power. No matter how rare the opportunity is and how well prepared it is, it would be a pity to call it.
Zhang Ping listed these two examples, which is nothing more than saying that the commander of an army was captured or killed in battle, and the worst result was that the army was destroyed. But if the commander was the emperor, the influence would be immediately amplified in geometric multiples, forming a series of adverse reactions. But if the commander was just a general, after an accident, the court could change its generals immediately, but it would be no problem for the army to continue fighting.
In addition, it is to warn yourself that everyone in the army is respected and others cannot dispatch and control the army. If you have diarrhea during the personal journey, encounter unexpected situations such as wind and waves, boat capsized, horses fall down, or thunderbolts from the sky are chopped, then the army will fall into a state of headless dragons, and like Liu Yao, they will not only lose their virginity, but also lose their country, so they must not fight in person.
"Does Concubine Chen have something to say?" Seeing that the three pregnant people had great opinions about their personal expeditions, Zhao Bing felt it was understandable. After all, war was still a very dangerous thing, and no one wanted to have a father at birth. Therefore, he turned his eyes to the other two. Seeing that Concubine Chen Wang Yu lowered her head, she looked at her from time to time, and rubbed the silk scutcheon in her hand, obviously she had something to say, but she wanted to say it but stopped. He was happy. He must be worried that he would anger the queen and others, so he did not dare to say it, so he spoke out and encouraged.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I also heard my father tell the history when I was at home. I remember that Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi Gao Huan led a large army to attack Yushayuan of the Western Wei Dynasty. Before the war, someone advised him to divide his troops and advance to ensure that the army maintains a certain degree of flexibility. He thought that the enemy was few and we didn't need to divide the troops. After discovering that the Western Wei army ambushed the troops in the reeds, someone persuaded him to set fire to the grass. The people of the Western Wei Dynasty would undoubtedly die. Gao Huan was afraid that the whereabouts of the enemy's chief would not be confirmed after the fire, so he refused again. As a result..." Wang Yu was named, stood up and saluted, and said timidly.
"No need to say it, I know the result!" Zhao Bing wanted to save some face through Wang Yu's mouth, but he also "betrayed" himself and interrupted his words with a dark face. The result of Gao Huan's personal expedition was naturally under the rigid attack of the Eastern Wei army. The generals could only watch the Western Wei people gained the initiative on the battlefield with flexible surprise attack tactics, and in the end, Gao Huan's personal expedition was defeated.
"Loyal words are unpleasant. Although Your Majesty does not like what I say, I still have to say it." At this moment, Wang Yu raised her head and plucked up her courage. "The emperor is the center of the country. No matter where she is, it can affect everyone around her. Moreover, the emperor's personal expedition is no more than a general. The political situation of the country and the emperor's prestige are directly related to the success or failure of the war. Therefore, no matter whether the emperor himself or generals at all levels, they often seem cautious and flexible, and even give up strange and positive changes because of over-seeking stability. Your Majesty also often says that war has always been unconventional and advocating strange and weird. If the emperor and generals have the mentality of seeking stability, it is equivalent to binding their own hands and feet. Not to mention that they cannot fight beautiful battles, they often lose themselves and frequently make tricks."
"Concubine Chen actually has such insight, very good, very good!" Zhao Bing was a little angry, but he looked like a little white rabbit who was harmless, but he still endured it. However, he had to admit in his heart that what he said was quite reasonable, so he could only smile. But in a blink of an eye, he saw him secretly comparing the word "V" to others, and immediately realized that he had been fooled again. He suddenly felt blood surged upwards and his eyes turned black.
"Hmph, Gao Huan's defeat is pretty good. After all, he is not dead and there is still a chance to start over. But the King of Hailing Wanyan Liang of the Jurchen was careless and ruined his life in the personal expedition." Without waiting for Zhao Bing to take a breath, Li Sanniang snorted coldly and said.
"Yes, it's very right, but I regret it!" Zhao Bing was already crying at this time, and even Li Sanniang, whom she trusted the most, was even more "vicious".
In October of the sixth year of Zhenglong, Jin Emperor Wanyan Liang made 32 generals to attack Song, and his army was claimed to be 600,000, which was even better than the strength of the Jin army when they destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. If we only talked about the comparison of military strength, the Song army was not its opponent. In the early stage of the war, the Jin army won consecutive victories, and the troops headed straight to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it was a trend of drinking horses in the south of the Yangtze River.
