His goal is not the Privy Council, nor is it simply a commander in chief. If he can avoid the stain of being criticized, he will still avoid it.Wang Shao being the coach and being the coach himself are two different things.

This is also the reason why he quickly contacted Zheng Xia as soon as he entered Dali territory.

"No, or I'm not sure. According to the investigation, it doesn't seem to be the case. There are some sayings in various tribes that the officials tested the prince's ability, which caused the fight between the princes."

"In the battle between the princes, because the prince has the uncle's family of a military general, and the second prince is only of the blood of the Dali royal family, there is a situation where the army is overwhelming. It is not the intention of the Song Dynasty court, but the prince's family. department's behavior."

"It is rumored that the [-] troops of the Southern Expedition are the greatest energy that the prince can borrow from the generals. As long as the tribes in Dali can protect the second prince from defeat, there will be great rewards..."

Are Dali people really so foolish?Zhang Dun was a little dumbfounded.

Do these tribes in Dali really believe such an obvious incitement to pull backs and find cannon fodder?But Zheng Xia wandered around in Dali for a few months, shouldn't he be deceived by those barbarians?

"In fact, the tribes in Dali seem to agree with this rhetoric. In the past few years in Dali, except for the slight stability after the intervention of the Guochao, the rest of the time has been disputes among the Duan, Yang, and Gao families. The tribes in various places in Dali are also The object that is often drawn."

"I've used this tactic a lot, and I'm used to thinking like this. Maybe no one would have cared about it before, but this time Duan generously gave fifty muskets to each of the tribes who went to war..."

Zheng Xia has indeed mastered the kung fu, and it is quite detailed, that is, the content of Duan's promise is clear.

That's right, it's the rarest thing to say now. For other courts, Guochao's firearms are indeed very tempting.

"What does Jiefu think?"

Zhang Dun asked for advice sincerely.If his deputy commander, in a word, only needs to crush the past, he doesn't have so much time to think about what the Dali tribe thinks.

But I am the coach, and letting Dali's blood flow away will do nothing but harm to my career.

"Zhang Shuai, there is no other way at this time, the only way is to be powerful!"

Well, the assistant officer seems to have the same mind.

Zhang Dun was in no mood to continue talking to Zheng Xia.If you really want to shock them with prestige, you don't need to care about the situation of the tribes in Dali at all. Shunchang's downfall, you just need to suppress it.

The reason for consulting Zheng Xia's opinion was the official's explanation before the expedition. At the same time, the imperial court also issued an edict to let Zheng Xia return to Jian and serve in the army before the war.What's more, Zhang Dun has become the coach, so he can't do things so directly.

"Zhang Shuai, this is what Xia has been investigating for several months. It has indicated the tendencies and mutual relations of the various tribes in Dali, including the sphere of influence that originally belonged to the Duan, Gao, and Yang families, and who has those relationships with whom, etc. ..."

Zheng Xia saw Zhang Dun serving tea and knew it was time to leave.So I handed over the copywriting I wrote to Zhang Dun...

Zhang Dun didn't slow down until Zheng Xia got out of the handsome account... What do you mean?This is what I needed at first, and I have been stalking for a long time to kill it directly, and when it is time, I only provide useful things.

It is estimated that once he decides to kill like this, Zheng Jiefu will probably not come up with this thing.

I am consulting Zheng Jiefu, Zheng Jiefu is probably also testing himself, right?It seems that those remarks during the Western Expedition were not a secret in the court, that is, he already had a ruthless reputation.

This Zheng Jiefu is a real gentleman.

Zhang Dun turned his attention to look at the copywriting that Zheng Xia had left for him, only to realize that Zheng Jiefu's efforts were not just a little bit.In this copy, a detailed analysis of the tribes in Dali, those who are pro-Song, those who are rebellious, those who are mercenary, those who are loyal to the Duan family, etc., and even the reinforcements to the city of Yangjubaa are detailed.

Chapter 767

Zhang Dun is a relatively domineering person in terms of temperament, but he also recognizes and admires the pre-war staff and command system implemented by the military officials.

After being familiar with Zheng Xia's analysis, Zhang Dun still called up the generals to discuss how to fight in Dali.

"Marshal, the general wishes to be a pioneer at the end..."

Wang Shunchen was still the same, only fighting in his heart.However, even if everyone ignored his yelling, he didn't care much.

"Marshal, the imperial court sent troops to Dali with the aim of bringing Dali under the control of the Song Dynasty. Extermination is not the purpose, or it is different from Xixia."

Zhang Dun can still listen to Zhong Jianzhong's words.At the beginning of the lecture hall, Ouyang Gong also said that Zhong Jianzhong should be the pillar of the future of the country and the pillars of the generals of the country.In war, Zhong Jianzhong's ability to control the overall situation is indeed unmatched.

"Marshal, no matter whether it is dominated by the Dali royal family or not, Dali and the country have always been friendly neighbors for many years, and the court also agrees with this. Therefore, the general thinks that the purpose of the imperial court's conquest of Dali should be to punish the evil ones. ..."

"The last general thinks that the army is advancing all the way. We should refer to Zheng Zuoshuai's opinion and send a small army to inform the tribes with good intentions, and send an organized army to wipe out the tribes with malicious intentions. In this way, after the army penetrates deep into the hinterland, many troubles can be avoided... ··”

This time, there is only their army, and there is no tendency to oppress Dali.For the army, it is not difficult to point directly at the city of Yangjubaa, and it is even said that it does not need to care whether it will be surrounded by heavy siege.However, to avoid unnecessary killings and unnecessary losses, it is more appropriate to proceed properly.

"Dali's terrain is complex, dominated by hills and high mountains. If a steady advance is made, the battle line will be stretched, and it may make it difficult for the court to punish the chief evil..."

"Once Yangjubaa City forms a resistance force like Xixia, the final murder may not be lighter than directly crushing it..."

"Three thousand muskets, although the gunpowder configuration of the first and second generation, may not be able to pose a threat to our side based on the opponent's familiarity with the terrain..."

"The officials once talked about a kind of guerrilla warfare. Under the terrain like Dali, the use of guerrilla warfare will cause a lot of trouble for the army..."

"How can Dali understand the official guerrilla tactics?"

"The prince has no authority restrictions in the lecture hall..."

Zheng Xia couldn't understand it a little bit, he didn't expect the current army to look like this, and the generals actually have the same momentum as the civil servants in the court... Is this the new army?

The only difference is that generals are discussing rather than arguing.

"Jie Fu, what do you think should be done?"

Zhang Dun consulted Zheng Xia again, which made Zheng Xia even more stunned.He had no experience as an officer in the army, and he always thought that such an occasion had nothing to do with him.a little hasty...

"Xia thinks it's appropriate to treat them differently."

If they communicate in private, Zheng Xia can say anything, but discussing and arguing with a group of generals, Zheng Xia can't get used to it for a while.

However, Zheng Xia noticed one thing. Once the commander speaks up, all the generals will be in a state of waiting for orders, and they will not shout at all like the original civil servant Yu Chaotang.

"Listen to the orders of the generals: An order was issued by the Southern Expedition Headquarters, with the purpose of summoning the generals of the country and the dynasty to punish the culprits. Know all the tribes in Dali, and restrict them to express their opinions as soon as possible, and those who resist will be killed!"

"All Dali tribes that do not participate in this battle are ordered to guard their homes and not to accept or take in those who flee. Otherwise, they will be killed!"

"Whoever sends troops to reinforce the city of Yangjubaa, the army will not blame the past. Forgive them for not knowing the inside story. It is allowed to recall the reinforcements or pledge allegiance to the Song Dynasty, and provide the army with appropriate food and fodder to make atonement, otherwise they will be killed!"

"For all the tribal territories where the army passes, the tribe must not allow the soldiers of Yangjumei City to shelter. If Yangjumei City or Duan's army appears to harass the army on the way the army advances, the tribe is guilty of the same crime!"

"From now on, the army will rest for ten days. Anyone who fails to express their position to the headquarters within ten days will be regarded as hostile. If there are bad motives, kill them!"

"Allow the southern, western, eastern and other tribes to express their stance to the army on the way the army advances..."

When Zhang Dun issued a series of military orders, it meant that the front-line combat deployment of the entire Southern Expeditionary Army was completed, and all generals must obey it.

Zheng Xia was waiting for the generals to pester endlessly like civil servants, but in the end, all the generals said "Nah..." Thinking about Zhang Dun's orders again, Zheng Xia found that they seemed to be adopted. All the opinions that have been discussed throughout the discussion, but they are different.

The official selection of generals really did the best of their talents.In today's situation, Zhang Dun's operation should be the most appropriate in dealing with the conquest of Dali.

······

"This is a conspiracy!"

When Zhang Dun's pre-war order arrived at the court, there was such a discussion in the court.Fortunately, Zhang Dun is a civil servant. If he was a military general, maybe there would be some miscellaneous nonsense.
