If successful, not only could everything on the mountain be resolved in a short period of time, it would also eliminate a cancer in the Sichuan-Shu region, allowing the court's decrees to be implemented smoothly in all parts of the country.
Zhang Jiuli naturally deserves the most credit, and the mistakes he made in the past can be washed away, but if he fails, then there will be no other way except to attack by force, and this is exactly what Li Xiang does not want. If we really attack the mountain by force, who knows how much we will lose.
"I am 70% sure. If your Highness's army can meet my attack standards, then I will be at least 80% sure."
Zhang Jiuli hardened his heart and said, this guy is not unconditional, it is definitely not possible to achieve it by following this strategy, but we must be ruthless and fast when attacking. Before those people understand the situation, we must be able to take down their strongholds in a lightning speed, so that they will feel that our combat effectiveness is unfathomable.
This is not something Zhang Jiuli can do. It must be Li Xiang's army, which is usually elite enough to be able to achieve strategic goals immediately. If it does not have this ability, then let alone a 60% chance, even 30% cannot be achieved. This is also common sense. There is no need to explain too much to Li Xiang. He often fights on the battlefield and of course understands this.
"This is a big deal. Take your plan to the military camp and find Su Dingfang and Qin Huaiyu. Explain your plan to them clearly. Have them conduct an on-site investigation to ensure they have a clear understanding of our offensive targets. Also, explain your strategic objectives to them. If they agree, then we can proceed."
Li Xiang has always believed that professional matters should be left to professionals. Although he is talking so passionately here, if we are talking about professional military attacks, then these generals must be allowed to make the judgment.
When he was just reborn, Li Xiang took control of all military affairs in his own hands. Now it is no longer necessary. He should give his subordinates enough stage. Anyway, he is not afraid of these mercenaries being self-reliant. More than 40% of their troops were exchanged by Li Xiang from the system. If these people have other ideas, Li Xiang can overthrow them at any time.
Moreover, these people have good military qualities. After a period of training, they also know how to use the new army to fight and achieve the greatest strategic goals.
After Zhang Jiuli went out, Qian Ping waited by the side for Li Xiang's lecture.
"You should have seen how powerful this man is. I don't want to say anything more. I'll be going to Nanzhao soon. It will take at most a month. If we can solve this problem within this month, then you will come with me to Nanzhao. If we can't solve this problem, then you will stay here and keep an eye on him."
Qian Ping was naturally very happy after hearing what Li Xiang said. Anyway, he was much stronger now than before. If it were in the past, he could only wait for death in Chang'an City. This would be the greatest sorrow for anyone. He still had the strength, but he had to wait here until he grew old.
"This person is still useful. If Your Highness is short of manpower in the future, you can definitely delegate a task to him. However, it should only be limited to this one task and you cannot give him too much authority. If you give him too much authority, his desire for power may be difficult to control."
Qian Ping knew he had to be useful. If Li Xiang had asked you to keep an eye on him, he could have just found a clever eunuch. Why would he send someone like you? While keeping an eye on this person, you had to have your own ideas. Only then would you be considered more valuable by Li Xiang. Otherwise, why would Li Xiang promote you when he had so many other useful people around him?
"I think so too. This guy's talent can't be buried. There will definitely be other things assigned to him in the future, but the most important thing now is to deal with the Tusi master's matter first. You should quickly follow him to the military camp. There are some things he can know, but there are also some things he can't know. You have to decide the right balance."
For a person like Zhang Jiuli, Li Xiang would definitely not let him sleep idle at home, but he would never give him too much power. If such a person had too much power, he would dare to do anything. Moreover, he followed Li Xiang halfway through his career and it was impossible for him to be of the same mind as Li Xiang.
But if you don't use him, it would be a loss for Li Xiang. This guy is very efficient. In just a few days, he has turned the mountain upside down. If you assign such a person a specific task, then this person will definitely give you a good surprise.
Su Dingfang and Qin Huaiyu were almost falling asleep during training. They were ordered to reorganize the entire Yizhou army.
At the beginning, the two were very angry. The imperial court had stationed a total of 14,000 soldiers around here, but after counting, there was no such person among more than 3,000 soldiers. Many of the names on them were dead, and they were vacant positions taken by some people in the army.
Anyway, these two people have Li Xiang's imperial sword in their hands. Those who dare to claim vacant quotas will be dealt with according to the court laws. When Li Xiang was killing people in Chengdu, these people were also killing people in the military camp, killing almost 20% of the officers. The rest of the people were either beaten or thrown out of the military camp directly. Anyway, we can't let you parasites stay in the army.
The atmosphere in the military camp has been rectified now. In addition, with the recruitment in the past month, there are many people around who have no food to eat, and now another 14,000 people have been recruited. Together with the group of people brought by Li Xiang from Chang'an City, at least 20,000 people can be mobilized. In addition to the necessary locations, there are more than 15,000 mobile troops.
Of course, apart from the thousands of people brought by Li Xiang, the rest of these people have just undergone new training. The training results are pretty good now, but if they are to go to the battlefield like this, I am afraid there are still some shortcomings.
When Zhang Jiuli brought his men in, Su Dingfang and Qin Huaiyu were also studying the surrounding situation. They didn't need to worry about the training of the soldiers, as they had handed it over to their subordinates. So the two of them had to practice other things, such as storming the chieftain's stronghold. Although His Highness didn't mention this, we still have to be prepared for it.
