This once again aroused the fighting spirit of the army, and formed a pincer attack on the cavalry behind Tubo, thus almost annihilating the enemy.

This is the so-called Lanzhou victory!

After seeing the detailed report of the Imperial City Secretary, the officials of the Political Affairs Hall also understood the government's treatment of the two chief generals.

"Officials, regardless of the process, the victory is real in terms of pure results. Chen Li has never dealt with it like this."

"It will only take three months for the Bianliang New Army and the Western Army to take turns. How about letting all the Western Army take part in the battle and return to the court this time..."

Fu Bi is trying to cover up for the two chief generals... Forget it!

In fact, Zhao Xi didn't think about what to do with the two chief generals, he just needed to put them in the martial arts hall, and use countless battle examples to replace their thoughts of relying on the bravery of soldiers to win the battle in their minds.

Chapter 507 Whatever You Say

There were [-] new army soldiers, which really made Zhao Xi feel distressed.

Even if he led the army to fight against Xixia, the two sides invested almost ten times more troops than this time. At that time, the lost soldiers of the new army were only more than 5000 points... The lost Western army said otherwise.

After all, the Western Army was the main force and the New Army was the auxiliary.But this time against Tubo, it was a completely new army, and there was such a large casualty rate.

Therefore, after Guo Kui and Zhong E returned to the court, Zhao Xi didn't meet them at all, and let them go to the lecture hall directly.

No one in the court found it strange.

Except for Dali, all the great victories of Guochao were won by the officials themselves. Even the one in Dali was won by the old guard battalion.

This time, the fierce and warlike Tubo was defeated. In the eyes of the courtiers, the significance of this victory was more profound than that of the official as the coach.

It's just that the officials have neglected the heroes in this way... It's not difficult to understand when you think about some of the practices of Taizu Taizong.

The country is still ruled by civil servants.

"Han Chen, I'll leave it to you to persuade them. Although I don't intend to punish them, I'm worried that I won't be able to hold back my temper when I see them."

"This battle shouldn't be like this. We have all deduced that the most unsatisfactory tactic is only [-]% of the casualties. And what about them? There are more than [-]% of the casualties!"

Zhao Xi didn't meet Guo Kui and Zhong E, not because he wanted to leave them aside, and the current Guochao still can't leave them alone.

"Your Majesty, the old minister understands. In fact, the reason for the high casualties this time is not that the generals did not get along well, nor did the two wings divide their troops to pursue them. The real reason for the high casualties is that the two old commanders, Zhong and Guo, did not have a deep understanding of firearm warfare. This leads to an unreasonable distribution of tanks during the pursuit."

"Placing the chariots in the central army, this arrangement is intended to support the front and rear of the central army. It is an old-fashioned and prudent formation of troops, but it makes the chariot lose its proper function. The function of the chariot is biased towards defense, and it has the disadvantage of slow movement. .”

"In combat, the new army has advantages in raids and positional warfare, and the role of chariots should be reflected in positional warfare."

"The two veterans only regarded the chariot as a strong city and the backing of the soldiers, ignoring most of the role of the chariot in positional warfare. This is the main reason for the high casualties."

"The veteran will deduce this battle with the two veterans in the martial arts hall, in this way, let them realize their mistakes, and will never have any complaints about the officials' handling."

Di Qing really didn't think it was wrong for the officials to do so.

When he fought in Guangnan, he was still covered by the official conscripts, but after returning to the court, he was indeed rewarded, and even entered the West Mansion, from officials to deputy envoys.So what?From the first day he entered the court, he has never been criticized.

And Guo Kui, like Chong E, was a big victory.If the officials are not stingy with rewards at this time, I am afraid that the result may not be much better than themselves.

In fact, Di Qing still thinks simply.

Even if Guo Kui and Chong E were rewarded, they would not encounter Di Qing's situation.

Both of them belonged to a family of generals, not pure grassroots generals like Di Qing.

Whether there is a foundation is the key to chaos in any era.

Of course, Di Qing would not say that. Even if Zhao Xi could think of Di Qing's thoughts, he would not point them out.

"Indeed, let them go to the lecture hall this time. Although they will not be taught like other generals, I still hope that they can calm down and become familiar with the methods of firearm warfare."

"The battles of various terrains envisioned in the early years let them get in touch with as much as possible, and the new weapons in the workshop city also let them participate in experiments. Only in this way can the old man not grow old..."

Although he is called a veteran and handsome, he is not really old.Neither Guo Kui nor Chong E are under fifty.

Di Qing is a real handsome man, already in his 60s.

In the echelon of generals in the Guochao, from Di Qing down, Chong E and Guo Kui can be regarded as the backbone.

It's not that there are no generals of this age, but that without their prestige and military exploits, it's not like the two of them can convince the masses when they really lead the army.

Just like Kumamoto, just like Xiang Minzhong...

As for the next echelon, such as Cao Lin and the Four King Kongs of the old guard battalion, they still need to accumulate fame...

Regardless of whether it is a disguised protection or not, anyway, seeing that Guo Kui and Zhong E were left idle in the martial arts hall, the court did not have a memorial to attack them.

This has never happened in the country.All generals, after a great war, will definitely face the courtiers' impeachment regardless of victory or defeat.

Unfortunately not this time.As a result, Di Qing was really envious, and Zhong E and Guo Kui seemed to have understood the deep meaning of the official... Wrong, right, Zhao Xi didn't have the heart to think about it.

Because the courtiers had nothing to do, seeing the newly built pavilions and pavilions in the inner garden, they began to accuse the officials of being extravagant one after another.

What does not sympathize with the suffering of the frontier generals, the reward for a big victory over Tubo is not enough to repair the fur of the inner garden.

It's a disaster for the country if the officials don't think about making progress and are content with enjoying themselves...fortunately, there is no mention of subjugation.

All the excuses that could be linked to the construction of the inner garden were used by the ministers to blame Zhao Xi.

At this time, no one thought about the source of the money, and no one considered that even the Palace of Qinzheng was built with funds from the internal treasury.

Zhao Xi didn't respond, and kept them all in the middle, and even took a look at the memorial. As long as it was about this aspect, he would just throw it aside and choose another day to use it for lighting the fire.

Not only that, Zhao Xi also dispatched a team of 1000 people to Hebei Road at this time...

There are rumors in the market that the officials are here to go to Mount Tai, and ask the stones of Mount Tai to rest in the inner garden.

This aroused the anger of the ministers and workers even more!

It is contempt for the ministers and workers to keep the memorial to check the emperor's gains and losses, and it is even worse to waste the people and waste money...

One by one, the censors began to rise from the low-ranking censors to the officials of the fourth and fifth ranks.

"The official has been staying in the court and has stopped the court meeting. Fu Xiang, this is not possible, and we need to communicate with the official. The courtiers and the official are against each other. In the end, we are the ones who make things difficult..."

Han Jiang said...

Except for Lu Gongbi who intends to second the proposal, no one else wants to get involved.

Wang Anshi once again improved the market transaction law from the official family, so he talked less.It should be that the officials have been using him to disperse firepower.No, he didn't continue to introduce any new laws during this period, and all the courtiers' ammunition went to him.

Sima Guang, on the other hand, was worrying about the reform of the official system that the official said...~ He handed over the travel brochure.
