Chapter 133: Being overly cautious is tantamount to being conservative and will be of no benefit in the duel on the grassland!
"Sit down, let's continue talking."
After Lin Che saluted, she took the initiative to sit down and looked at the other party.
Hear this.
Zhu Xi was in a good mood immediately, with a smile on his face.
I admire the performance of the prince's brother with all my heart. It must be said that the prince's behavior is much better than his own.
Although it was still a compliment, it was different when it came from the elder brother.
It sounds comfortable and friendly.
Here, Zhu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with a smile.
"Well...we are chatting now. When it comes to major policies, what we talk about doesn't count!"
"As for the strategy of the Northern Expedition that your brothers want to know, these are the affairs of the current emperor. Let's discuss them as they are. You must not take what I say and take credit from your father!"
Lin Che took a sip of tea, thought about it for a moment, and then said:
"I don't know much about the details of this Northern Expedition, so I can't go into it in depth. Otherwise, it would be just talk on paper, which would be meaningless to you."
"I can only talk about the theoretical aspects of this Northern Expedition. After you listen, you can analyze the specific problems in detail based on the actual situation on the battlefield!"
"I hope what I said will be of some help to you!"
Zhu Biao did not dare to interrupt after hearing this. He just sat upright, adjusted his clothes, and listened carefully.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people.
Lin Che's teaching method has always been the same, never giving answers directly, but letting people discover the secrets on their own.
In this regard.
Zhu Biao had already learned the lesson from previous lectures.
"I have already said above that dividing the troops is definitely not a good strategy. The only correct decision is to concentrate the troops to form an advantage locally."
"The individual combat effectiveness of the Beiyuan cavalry is superior to that of the Ming Dynasty. If the troops are divided and the strength is not advantageous, the Ming infantry and cavalry will encounter huge risks.
"After all, the grassland is too big. Without the support of intelligence, once one party is in danger, it may be too late for other troops to support them."
"In this regard, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a similar experience."
"In the tenth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sent an army of 20 to the north to attack the Xiongnu. The troops were divided into four groups, but the result was that there was no intelligence support."
"The four-pronged army entered the grassland, and it was like opening its eyes blindly. In the end, the main force, Wei Qing, returned without success after wandering around for a while."
"Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao on the flanks encountered a small group of Xiongnu troops and fought a draw."
"The forward led by the famous general Li Guang, because he went deep alone, encountered the main force of the Xiongnu, and was finally wiped out. Li Guang was also captured, and finally escaped by chance."
"These are living examples!"
Lin Che's throat felt a little dry after talking about this, so she quickly drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then said: "Of course, that doesn't mean that we can never divide our forces to attack."
"Split your troops to attack and use it for the first time. This is called taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared. The enemy may be caught off guard. That's why General Xu did this in the last Northern Expedition and achieved miraculous results."
"But the second time, the enemy was on alert and had more intelligence support, so how could it still be effective?"
"The division of troops not only reduced the strength of Ming's army, but also exposed its own weaknesses to the enemy. Isn't this asking for death?"
The Zhu brothers sat there and listened carefully. Even Lan Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, put away his contempt and listened with great interest.
"You need to review when you study, and you need to review when fighting. This is the most basic principle."
"The last Northern Expedition caused Beiyuan to suffer a big setback and suffered heavy losses. As the coach of Beiyuan, it is impossible for Nailbuhua not to learn lessons."
"In their home field, the vast grassland, if they lose, they lose, but the main force is still there, and they still have the capital to fight."
"As long as the main force still exists, even if the Beiyuan Tatars are trying and making mistakes, what can they do?"
"Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, although Xu Da is resourceful, his strategies are ultimately limited. Once or twice may work wonders, but sooner or later he will be figured out by the Tatars."
"Moreover, Ming Dynasty has no capital for trial and error!" "If you lose, you will be completely defeated and you won't be able to turn around for several years!"
Hearing this, the Zhu brothers were convinced and felt the pressure increase.
"I just mentioned that General Xu was more cautious than courageous in his use of troops. In fact, he also considered this aspect."
"It coincides with my thoughts."
Lin Che poured herself and Zhu Biao a cup of tea, straightened her body, and continued: "The Ming Dynasty must be cautious when sending troops!"
Hear this.
Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che with a blank expression, and finally couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Lin!"
"The more we listen, the more confused we become!"
"Didn't you just say that General Xu was too prudent and conservative in his use of troops, which would be of no benefit to this Northern Expedition and would result in nothing?"
"But why should you be cautious?"
heard.
Lin Che looked at Zhu Xi and shook her head and smiled:
"March and fight are not about playing house, nor are they fighting on the streets. As a commander, you have to be responsible for the lives of your soldiers."
"It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders, but we cannot let soldiers die!"
“Prudence and radicalism are not in conflict!”
"The premise of being radical is careful consideration, the support of a large amount of intelligence, and a full understanding of the enemy. It is not like you, who just do it when the brain gets hot!"
"You call this reckless, not radical!"
"do you understand?"
Lin Che would not be as polite to Zhu Ming as she was to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Ping was so embarrassed by all this fighting that he held a huge fist, raised it high, and lightly smashed it on the table to vent his depression, but he did not dare to quibble.
"The prudence I am talking about is a completely different understanding from General Xu's prudence."
"My prudence is based on maximizing interests. Not only does it have to be a battle to determine the outcome, but it also has to severely damage Beiyuan's strength."
"So the first battle of the Northern Expedition I said must be won. It is best to drive the Northern Yuan forces out of the grasslands and into the desolate land of Mobei."
"But General Xu's prudence is the prerequisite for preserving his own combat effectiveness. He looks forward and backward, hesitates, and would rather miss a good opportunity than make a mistake!"
"Can his prudence be the same as ours?"
"Excessive caution is tantamount to conservatism and will be of no benefit in the duel on the grassland."
After Lin Che explained, the Zhu brothers nodded repeatedly.
Striving to win with all your strength and striving to be undefeated are completely different concepts.
It has completely different impacts on both sides of the war.
Think about this.
Zhu Biao's body suddenly felt numb, his mind seemed to be filled with a clear spring, and he suddenly understood:
"So, Mr. Lin's consciousness... Before the first stage of the battle begins, he must do the work for the decisive battle that follows."
"At the same time, each stage is a foreshadowing for the next stage. Step by step, we will lead and control the overall situation, and finally win a hearty victory!"
The voice did not fall.
Lin Che smiled and praised.
This is the first time that I feel the joy of leading a 'good student'. I understand it as soon as I talk about it, and I understand it as soon as I listen to it!
What a peace of mind!
