Chapter 154: Decapitation Operation One
In October of the 26th year of Longxi, Wu Sanmu led the rebels out of Yunnan and Guizhou and invaded Hunan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On the one hand, Emperor Longxi mobilized the strength of the whole country to carry out counterinsurgency, and in terms of the strategy against the enemy, he adopted the strategy of dividing and dividing and disintegrating, and adopted the strategy of Huairou against the rebels in Shaanxi, Fujian, and Guangdong.
As one of Wu Sanmu's bases in Sichuan, Wu Sanmu issued a number of instructions, and specially sent an inspection team to the mountain city, ordering it to quickly assemble, east to Hunan and Hubei, from the west of Hunan and Hubei to form a pincer offensive against the imperial forces, in order to cooperate with Wu Sanmu's main action.
As a middle-level officer, Qianduyu participated in the inspection work meeting of Wu Sanmu's southwest overseer, and revealed the content of the meeting to his brother Yinyu in order to find a countermeasure.
Yinyu also convened a meeting of several core personnel such as Nian Zhuangfei, Liu Di, Zhan Tingyu, and Qian Duyu.
Chiwa first analyzed the military situation in the southwest. He said: "At present, there are a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest with Liu Qingshui as the deputy commander, plus the 10,000 people gathered in Rongcheng, a total of 40,000 people, and at the same time, the local armed forces under the Yamen in the southwest are also under the orders of the rebels, so the enemy's strength is strong; and our Liulishan and Tianyakou bases currently have about 8,000 people, and most of them are recruits who have not gone through battles, and the strength ratio is more than five to one. After Qian Dui Yu finished speaking, she looked at her righteous brother Yinxi, waiting for him to speak, and Yinyu frowned and looked at Zhan Tingyu.
Zhan Tingyu was already Yinxi's military advisor at this time, and his strategy was crucial. Zhan Tingyu saw that everyone was looking at him, thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and hurriedly said: "The best strategy is to carry out a beheading operation, which can take the command of the army without bloodshed."
"How to behead", Yinyu asked suspiciously.
"First, in terms of the necessity of action, at present, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, the enemy is overt and we are covert, and the time to go to the front line is urgent, in order to prevent such consequences from happening, it is necessary to regain command. As long as the action is prudent, it is conducive to carrying out the decapitation operation. ”
Zhan Tingyu glanced at everyone and continued: "Judging from the consequences of the operation, if the decapitation operation is successful, in terms of the current army command system, the officers and soldiers below the lower levels are all based on obeying orders, as for who they are fighting for, they don't care, what they care about is who provides them with good treatment, who can get them promoted, since they can change from the imperial army to the rebel army before, then today they can also change from the rebel army to the imperial army." Of course, if we fail, we must be prepared to be counterattacked, and we must be prepared to retreat."
"So, what's the middle strategy you're talking about," Twilight asked.
"The middle strategy is to follow them to Hunan and Hubei to fight with the imperial army, find an opportunity to get in touch with the imperial army, and with the help of the imperial army, the battlefield uprising, which can injure some of them. Of course, there are many variables in this middle policy, one of which is that our troops will be disrupted and not conducive to concentrated operations; and the second variable is that although we are not dismantled, we are in the middle of the gap and cannot carry out operations."
"As for the next strategy, it is natural to evacuate the mountain city before the assembly, so that we can preserve our strength," Zhan Tingyu finally said.
"Naturally, it is a good strategy, for the actions of the empire, you can gather the power of the southwest region under your command, and the decapitation operation will cause less damage, but although this is a good strategy, it needs to be well summed up," Yinyu said appreciatively.
"The first is how to carry out the decapitation operation. The second is how to replenish the personnel after the successful decapitation operation, how to coordinate and master the command of the army. The third is how to deal with the aftermath once the decapitation operation fails", Yinyu then raised three questions.
"As for how to carry out the beheading operation, it is just a very suitable opportunity, three days later, a military-local coordination meeting will be held to arrange the issue of military-local coordination after the movement of the troops, and the officers above the garrison level of the Generalissimo Mansion in the southwest and the magistrates above the southwestern Taishou will participate, it is a good opportunity to catch them all, and the location is in Wangjiang Tower", Qian Duyu looked around at everyone and said.
"Wangjiang Tower", Zhan Tingyu asked suspiciously.
"It is in Wangjiang Tower, that place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and it is located in the middle of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion and the Generalissimo's Palace, which is also a compromise plan formed by the Marshal's Mansion and the Governor's Palace."
"Okay, let's take advantage of the contradictions between them and win it in one fell swoop," Zhan Tingyu said excitedly. "Could it be that Tingyu is sure", Yinyu was also a little excited to say under the influence of Zhan Tingyu.
"This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the entry and exit are only at both ends, and our Longsheng Trade Inn, which is not far from here, and there is a small hill on the west side, which is just choking the exit from the west, and only needs to lay ambushes in the east and west directions, so as to stop foreign aid, we will launch a surprise attack from the mountains and underwater at the same time, and quickly withdraw from the water to the Longsheng Trade Inn after the operation is successful", Zhan Tingyu is confident.
"As for taking over the troops in the future, most of the dozen or so people who were rescued with the fourth master, such as Li Ying, Wan Zhi, Qiu Jiang, and Wu Lin, are the original middle and upper-level officers, and it is said that their prestige in the army is still there, and they should be quite sure that they will take over the troops," Liu Di, the general manager of the Tianyakou Battalion, interjected.
"Where are they", Qianduyu thought that in order to save his brother-in-law, he didn't want to save these generals at the same time, so he hurriedly asked.
"They are all in the Tianyakou base, and they are incognito, and we are also thinking about handing over these loyal ministers to the Celestial Empire in the future, so that they can better serve the Celestial Empire," Liu Di replied happily.
"As for the third question, once the operation fails, the Tianyakou and Liulishan bases will be prepared for prevention, it just so happens that these two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can still retain some strength while fighting", Zhan Tingyu finally answered the third question raised by Yinxi.
"The next move will be assigned by the fourth master", Zhan Tingyu pointed to Yinyu and said in a respectful tone.
"This action is related to whether the southwest can return to the Celestial Empire, and the lives of tens of millions of people here. Liu Di and your subordinate Qiu Wan each led 500 elite soldiers to ambush at the east and west entrances and exits in advance, and there were two tasks, one was to use more than half of the troops to kill from the outside in after the action was carried out inside, so as to attract the attention of the guards and prevent some of them from escaping; This is a difficult task, both to surround and kill, but also to send reinforcements, so it is necessary to prepare corresponding weapons such as bows and arrows, small artillery, etc., and the soldiers buried in the woods of Tiger Hill Mountain must also prepare daily necessities for the day, and they must be ambushed before they clear the field."
"Nian Zhuangfei led 50 death squads mainly based on green forest heroes to enter from the back mountain, and about 200 people can be placed on the mountain, as a reserve, and put in at a critical time, as the last straw that crushed the camel; I led 50 sailors to kill from the Tutuo River, attack inside and outside, and kill or capture them in one fell swoop. As for the time of action, it will be determined by the young man", Yinyu finished speaking, and moved his gaze to Thousand Twilight Feather.
"Under normal circumstances, the meeting starts on time, so the time of action is set within the hour of a stick of incense after the start of the time, as for the signal", Chiwa thought for a moment, considering the factors that disturbed the attention of more than 200 guards, and finally said firmly, "Just take the place where the wild sand is flying as the center of gravity of the siege, and also take this time as the starting time."
Liu Di glanced at Qianduyu in surprise, and said in his heart, could it be that this Qiangongzi will be reincarnated and pinched, knowing that there will be wind and sand at that point in time.
