Valley Emperor

Li Xuan walked into the conference room with steady steps. When he entered the conference room, he could clearly see that the civil and military officials in the conference room were all looking at him.

Of course, these courtiers naturally did not dare to stare at Li Xuan for too long, just for a moment.

Some officials dared to stare at Li Xuan for a long time. It was already in the Huang Zhushan era. At that time, any cat or dog would dare to be rude and call him His Majesty, but there was not much true to him. Respect, treat him as the real emperor, um, except for Liu Bagou!

But now, it is different. He has not only become an emperor with real power, but also led the empire to create a huge foundation, unified China, and his prestige is no less than that of the founding emperors of previous dynasties.

In the past, the ancient sages were just the words of Liu Bagou's family. Later, they were recognized. Until now, the ancient sages have become the eternal sages. The changes in these titles are enough to prove the change in Li Xuan's status. .

The courtiers in the conference room, when Li Xuan came in, cast their gazes, and soon bowed their heads again, then bent down in unison and said in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Xuan slightly raised his hand and said at the same time, "Everyone loves to be flat!"

When he was talking, his footsteps did not stop, but he passed the crowd and walked directly to his dragon chair. After sitting down, he said again: "Give a seat!"

Although there are many chairs in the conference room, if they want to get a seat in front of Li Xuan, they still need Li Xuan to give a seat or something like that in person. It would be disrespectful to sit regardless of himself.

Although almost every time Li Xuan is in a meeting, he will let his courtiers sit down, but there is no exception, and every time Li Xuan needs to give him a seat.

After Li Xuan bestowed the seat, many courtiers were the only ones to sit down, and it was quite particular about where everyone sat.

The 6th Army is on the left and the Navy is on the right. They are arranged according to their rank and seniority. They are not arranged by them, but by the Secretariat.

Sitting on the left is Lieutenant General Lei Wan, the veritable leader of the 6th Army, the duty minister of the imperial study. Although this person has never led the field troops to fight in any battle, he is the head of the combat department, and the imperial The minister on duty in the study, his military talent may not be as outstanding as Hao Bainian and the others, but his political status is higher than them.

And more often, Lieutenant General Lei Wan is not a pure military general, he is more like an official and politician.

Lieutenant General Lei Wan went down to several generals with the rank of Lieutenant General of the 6th Army, including Li Chunjing, commander of the first army, Wang Chaohong, commander of the second army, Hao Bainian, commander of the third army, Wang Chaohong and Hao Bainian. The field army generals who came back by boat from Sichuan and Tianjin to report their duties and attended the meeting, the others said, because they were too far away or had military tasks, they couldn't get away and did not return.

Then there were the ministers, deputy ministers, and commanders of some field divisions in the Privy Council of the 6th Army. There were a total of more than 20 people, all major generals and lieutenant generals.

In addition to the dozen or so generals of the navy, in this conference room today, there are real generals shining brightly!

The admiral of the navy sitting opposite the general of the 6th Army is for Vice Admiral Bao Yifen. As the minister of the military command department under the naval command, the minister on duty in the imperial study, his status in the navy is similar to that of Lei Wan in the 6th Army. Almost, they have been serving in the center for a long time, and have not participated in any actual war.

After him, Lieutenant General Song Binglin, the head of the naval staff, the commanders of the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Yangtze River Fleet, the Navy Logistics Department, the Ship Administration Department, the Military Administration Department and other ministers.

And under the rectangular table, according to the old rules, it belongs to the position of the guards, and the four generals of the guards sit there.

As for Li Daobing and others from the Imperial Academy, and Qian Mengjiu and others from the 6th Military Department of the Cabinet, although their status and power are not bad, in today's strategic meeting, they are only listening in, so they are not sitting on the rectangular table. , but sit on the chairs on either side of the conference room.

In this meeting, if there is no accident, they will just wear their ears, and basically there will be no chance to speak. Even if they do, the military bosses present will probably not hear it.

Although they are the top leaders in their respective departments, and they are also powerful in the outside world, they are still not enough to see in front of these real big generals of the 6th Navy.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is a title, all the six admirals present today have titles, and the worst is a viscount, most of them are counts, and a few are even marquis.

No one else said anything. Hao Bainian and Li Chunjing, the two 6th Army bosses, are sitting here today. When others speak, it is estimated that they have to be quieter.

There is no other reason, the credit is big enough, and the title is high enough!

After the courtiers were seated, Li Xuancai didn't care what the people's inner thoughts were. He was very busy all day, and he held meetings when he had meetings. He didn't have so much time to be polite with them, so he just spoke first!

"let's start!"

Li Xuan first said this briefly, and then continued: "Let's talk about Liaodong first!"

The Liaodong War is the most important in the Tang Dynasty in recent months, and it can be regarded as the only large-scale war. Although Li Xuan did not pay much attention to it before, it does not mean that it is not important, and Li Xuan does not pay attention to it. It's not because he really doesn't care, it's just because the war in Liaodong has always been smooth sailing, and Li Xuan doesn't need to worry about it.

The Privy Council and the Naval High Command completed their own work very efficiently, and Li Xuan didn't need to worry about it.

At this time, Lieutenant General Lei Wan stood up and spoke first: "Report to Your Majesty, since the offensive in Liaodong in the autumn, all the ministries have progressed smoothly!"

"The 6th Army of our 6th Army took the lead in the Shanhaiguan Campaign. With the advantages of artillery and the bravery of the soldiers, it took ten days to finally break through the Shanhaiguan line of defense and enter the western Liaoning Corridor. Then the 6th continued to conquer Ningyuan in the western Liaoning Corridor, and Chen Bing Yu Guangning. During this period, The first cavalry brigade of our army, composed of cavalry regiments of various cavalry regiments, formed a cavalry force of about 10,000 cavalry, roamed and defended the logistics line of defense in western Liaoning, and fought many fierce battles with the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei and other Liaodong cavalry. Still firmly guarding the western Liaoning logistics line."

"In November, our army reinforced an infantry regiment in Jinzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula, and then together with the Liaodong Mixed Regiment, they formed a temporary Liaodong brigade, which went north from Jinzhou and successively captured Fuzhou and Chen soldiers in Gaizhou."

"As a result, our army is already in the Liaodong area, forming a two-sided attack from the south and the north. According to the battle report of the sixth army on the front line, the main force of their sixth army will take a frontal siege in Guangning and exert pressure. At the same time, the Liaodong Temporary Brigade will continue to go north to capture Haizhou, then control the Liaohetao area, and finally surround and annihilate the 50,000 enemy troops who are clinging to Guangning!"

Because the winter in Liaodong is too cold, in fact, although the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty launched an offensive in autumn, the offensive did not last long. After hitting Guangning and Gaizhou, it basically stopped the pace of continuing the offensive , Because the weather is too cold, Rao is that the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty has long been prepared, and all kinds of cold and warm things are prepared properly, but they are still not used to this cold weather.

In particular, the troops involved in the Liaodong war were mainly the Sixth Army, and the soldiers of the Sixth Army mainly came from the Huaihe River Basin in the north of the Yangtze River. Although the Huaihe River Basin is also cold in winter, there is still no place in Liaodong. cold.

It is also snowing, but a few degrees below zero and dozens of degrees below zero are not the same concept.

During the Jiangbei Campaign in the past, although the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty was also affected by the severe cold weather in autumn and winter, because the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty always liked to move the offensive in autumn and winter, it was not greatly affected. The subsequent Northern Expedition The battle, which took place in the summer, was also unaffected.

However, the Liaodong campaign started in the autumn and winter. This is not to say that the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty deliberately chose such a time, but in the summer of the seventh year of Xuanping last year, the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty just ended the Southwest Campaign. The mobilization of troops also took several months, and by the time Datang's 6th Army was ready, it was already October.

But they are all ready. It can’t be said that there will be no wars in late autumn~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Many people thought at that time that it snows in Liaodong in winter, and Jiangbei also snows in winter, which makes no sense in the Tang Dynasty. The 6th Army can fight the autumn and winter battles in Jiangbei, but not in Liaodong.

Moreover, they also have an incomparably powerful maritime force, and there are numerous preparations for all kinds of cold and warm materials, which can be easily transported from the southern ports to the northern ports, and every soldier will get a thick padded jacket.

However, God's power is bigger than they thought!

Although the logistics force of the Datang Dynasty is quite powerful, and the shipping is even more powerful, but when it really starts to snow, the logistics generals of the Datang Dynasty know how powerful the heavy snow is!

How big? Why? Road closures due to heavy snow!

The four-wheeled carriage of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, which has made many contributions in many battlefields, is almost useless in the snow, because in the snow, this kind of carriage can't go at all.

This also led to the accumulation of various logistics materials in ports such as Lushun and even the logistics transit ports close to the front line, but they could not be transported to the front line.

In the end, they had no choice but to temporarily manufacture some sleds and other tools to transport materials, or simply mobilize manpower to transport them, but this obviously caused the supply to be blocked!

As a result, by December, it was basically impossible to fight, because at that time, there were few casualties in the battle, but there were countless people suffering from frostbite.

From October to December, in two months, more than 5,000 soldiers suffered frostbite to varying degrees, and their casualties were only a thousand.

In the end, the Sixth Army simply suspended the large-scale offensive and switched to garrisoning on the spot, so that they could survive this winter first.
