Chapter 1005: The Great Tip Pile of Dead Graves
In fact, Zhao Yu has another reason, but he feels embarrassed to confirm it.
He has already arrested his younger brother Jiang Zhongji, and if he catches his brother Jiang Zhongyuan again, is it a bit excessive.
It doesn't matter if he's soft-hearted or kind-hearted, it's okay to say he's confused, anyway, he's letting people go.
And his master Mai Ke was watching from the side, and he didn't say anything, didn't he?
Actually, Mai Ke really didn't care about his apprentice Zhao Yu's approach.
In Mai Ke's eyes, no matter how Zhao Yu dealt with it, it showed that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and the young man just had a kind nature.
This is more important than anything else.
As for whether to release the prisoners or to capture the prisoners, Mai Ke can do anything; when it comes to how to release people, Mai Ke has no less than ten ways.
Mai Ke's apprentice is also very lucky to meet a very tolerant and flexible master like Mai Ke, at least he will not cultivate the kind of narrow-minded and calculating apprentice.
Jiang Zhongyuan sat back on his horse, and was stunned for a moment before a guard picked up his gun and handed it to him.
Seeing the twisted appearance of that gun, Jiang Zhongyuan raised his hand and was about to throw it away! This is simply a symbol of shame!
But the hand was raised, but it did not let go, and hung it on the saddle that pulled him, thinking to himself that it would be good to keep it as a memento.
Seeing that his guards and a large group of Xiangyong were still entangled with the heavenly army, he shouted loudly: "Don't fight! Go back to the camp!"
All Xiang Yong immediately broke away from the battle and returned to the Dong Yuan camp.
After walking a few steps, he stopped, turned his head, and waved his hand at Zhao Yun: "There will be a period later!"
Zhao Yu is also a gentleman, and his etiquette is not lost. also returned the salute to Jiang Zhongyuan.
Of course, the Celestial Army will not stop them from retreating, as long as those Xiangyong do not take the initiative to attack, no one will pay attention to them.
The other three cavalry had also completed their mission before this and returned to the passage, and Zhao Yu was now gone.
That passage has a variety of functions, so after the cavalry enters. Both horses and personnel can get a good rest.
Mai Ke asked them to be stationed in this troop transport channel, and if necessary, the outside infantry would come and ask them to come and come to support.
Zeng Guofan is a little unclear about the situation now, he originally held a meeting to rebuild the northern camp and continue to maintain contact with the emperor, but was so disturbed by the heavenly army, not only did the affairs of the big camp not settle, but his four big camps were also divided into two, and tens of thousands of heavenly troops were forced in. Captured the Avenue of Victory.
Now that the battlefield is deserted, there will be no major military moves in a short period of time, Zeng Guofan hurriedly handed over the affairs of the camp to Luo Zenan, and he himself took his horse to Shuangduiji to meet Cheng Xucai, the governor of Huguang, to discuss how to deal with the tens of thousands of heavenly troops that were stuffed in.
There is also the question of whether to continue the efforts to establish a large camp in the north, if it continues here, it is equivalent to cutting off contact with the emperor.
Originally, King Qin came, and he was separated from the emperor. What's the point?
Soon came to the double stack, Zeng Guofan looked at it. There really isn't any topography here, it's just an ordinary countryside.
If there is something special, there are two mounds of earth, which are placed flat in the east and west of the village.
The mound in the east of the village is pointed at the top, so people call it the big pointed mound, and the mound in the west of the village. The top is flat, so it is called a flat tip pile.
Since there is a mound at each end of the village, all the villages have a name, a double pile, because there are people. Therefore, the word "set" was added, and this "set" means collection, collective, and concentration.
That is to say, a group of people gathered between the two mounds, which is very intuitively described.
These two mounds are also of some strategic importance, because they are all flat everywhere, so under the premise that there is no better condition than them, the governor of Huguang, Cheng Xucai, decided to set up the camp here.
In particular, Hu Linyi, his think tank and military core commander, also agreed to set up camp here.
The 150,000 people who were with the two of them were all Eyong, after all, the governor of Huguang was in charge of Hunan and Hubei provinces, and the people and horses in Suxian and Split Mountain were all from Xiangyong.
Although the 150,000 people here are a lot more than the number determined at the beginning, there is no pressure on Hu Linyi!
In fact, he has prepared another 300,000 people, and if needed, he can let them appear on the battlefield in a short time.
Zeng Guofan came on horseback, and Cheng Zhicai and Hu Linyi responded with a downgrade.
The identity of the minister of the Zeng State Domain is still retained, the power can still be exercised, and he is also a high-ranking official of the six ministries, which shows that he is still a high-ranking central high-ranking official.
In fact, both of them are the first product and are extremely popular ministers, so Cheng Zhicai did not have the slightest psychological burden to give him such a reception.
Not to mention Hu Linyi, although his examination fame was earlier than Zeng Guofan, he himself has always handled the relationship with Zeng Guofan in the name of his subordinates.
At the same time, he is still the assistant envoy of the Qincha.
The three-man room took their seats, and immediately began the supreme meeting of Army Group South.
Zeng Guofan first introduced the situation there there, and everyone knew the news that Zeng Guoquan was captured and the Split Mountain camp was destroyed, but the two of them did not know what happened today.
Zeng Guofan combined these situations and recounted them again, and said in a dull voice: "It seems that I am in great trouble there! Not to mention that the connection with the emperor has been severed, even our more than 100,000 people will not be able to protect themselves! The most urgent task at the moment is to drive out the heavenly army that has been added to the gas, and to bring together the four large battalions that have been separated! Before I came, I wanted to do this, and I wanted to hear the opinions of the governor and Zhensheng, so I came here. ”
"You know the whole thing best. "Cheng Chucai is very knowledgeable and good, and there is no nonsense.
"Well, since I have been born and I have been commanded by the governor, I will give you my humble opinion for your reference.
"I see that they have occupied the road to victory, and their intentions are not small!
"I think they have two intentions.
"The first intention is to divide our group so that they can use troops against us, and at the same time, they want to separate us from the emperor, and this purpose is easily accomplished.
"For example, the two big battalions on the north side of the Victory Avenue that were divided, they can't even protect themselves, how can they care about contacting the emperor?
"There are also two large battalions south of the Avenue of Victory, and even our double-stacked army, if they can't even take the Avenue of Victory, it will be even more impossible to contact the emperor.
"If our group is successfully isolated from the emperor by the Heavenly Army, that is to say, we will only be fighting alone, and we will also not get the assistance of other brother armies, and we don't even know what the emperor needs, we are all doing something useless.
"If that's the case, the Celestial Army can slowly entertain us, choose the most suitable time for them, and attack us!
"Therefore, I think that the present state of division must be changed, first of all, we must come together! To get together, we must pull out the Gasai of the heavenly army!
"After we gather together, we will do our best to establish contact with the emperor and them!
"In this way, it will be possible for us to thwart the conspiracy of the Celestial Army and avoid the fate of the total annihilation!
"And I have a hunch that the Celestial Army on the southern front will move soon, and our troops in Shuangdui are probably a little insufficient, considering that more manpower is needed to break the isolation of the Celestial Army, I will use the 300,000 Eyong we have prepared now!"
"I agree with Zhen Shengde's views and construction!" Cheng Zhicai immediately expressed his support, this should also be what he is good at, although he himself is not very proficient in military affairs, but he knows people well, and can give the greatest support to those capable generals under his subordinates.
"Another point, I think that in the future, we will have to solve the problem of concentration, and after solving the problem, we will also concentrate on operations, and I will build a command center with the three of us, and at this specific stage of time, we will command operations together!" Cheng Zhicai proposed a method for strengthening coordination and unifying the pace.
"I agree! Only in this way can we ensure that the problem can be solved effectively and in a timely manner! There must be such a mechanism for serious problems!" As soon as Cheng Yucai's voice fell, Hu Linyi gave the most powerful support to the forefront.
"This is the best!" Zeng Guofan has a lot of experience, and of course he knows that this is the basis and guarantee for the central group's group operations.
"Is there anything else you haven't done?" asked Cheng Qicai.
"I still have a building!" Zeng Guofan said, "When I entered the village, I saw that there was a mound of earth in the east and west of the village, and there seemed to be no formal defense on it? I think that heavy troops should be sent there to focus on defense! If it is taken by the Heavenly Army, we will encounter unimaginable difficulties!"
"I'll check this and implement the construction of Disheng!" Hu Linyi said decisively.
"Okay! Without further ado, let's go our separate ways and implement what we just said! Then we'll gather together and command this battle!" Cheng Chucai ended the meeting!
"Report! Oh no, Dajiandui was secretly attacked and occupied by the Heavenly Army, and more than 200 people on it were all killed!" A herald flew in, and the message from his mouth was terrifying!
It's still too late! Zeng Guofan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly reminded Hu Linyi: "Hurry up and go to reinforce Pingjiandui, which must also be the target of the Heavenly Army." ”
Hu Linyi hurriedly sent someone to do it.
Then he said to the two, "Let's go!"
The three of them rode to the east of the village, where the sound of killing was already earth-shattering!
Two hundred defenders were killed, and about 10,000 Celestial troops occupied Dajiandui and immediately built fortifications!
At this time, E Yong around the big jiandui knew that something was wrong, so he took action in a hurry, trying to take the big jiandui back!
This kind of unorganized and unplanned impact has created an opportunity for mass killing for the Celestial Army!
They are in this environment, they are not fierce and they can't do it, either the enemy dies or they die themselves!
In just a few minutes, more than 3,000 people died, and the small dirt slope in front of them became a grave for them! .
