National War (5)

In fact, as Boyan expected, the commander of Fengxin's counterattack was not Zou Xun. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Just three days ago, the military advisor Zeng Huan rushed to the front line of Jiangnan West Road with the first batch of reinforcements from the Dadu Governor's Mansion. Zou Wei received strong reinforcements, immediately adjusted his tactics according to the actual situation, and after consulting with Zeng Huan and others, he took advantage of Beiyuan's ignorance of the defenders' situation to play a beautiful defensive counterattack.

The brilliant results dealt a blow to the morale of the Northern Yuan army, and also greatly stabilized the morale of the people's troops on the front line. The heroes of the rivers and lakes guarding the various fortresses and camps took the opportunity to take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to frequently harass the Yuan army. Some threw animal carcasses in the streams flowing down the mountain, and some sent small groups of soldiers and horses to intercept and kill the grain transport team of the Yuan army, and for a while, the Yuan army was in a hurry.

And the scheming Boyan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately changed the previous tactics of more temptation and one strong attack. The new annex army, the Han army, and the slave soldiers of the Tanma Red Army, who served as meat shields, all withdrew from the front line, and sent the elite of the Mongolian army to concentrate on storming the three important tactical strongholds of Fengxincheng, Huangyeling and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The Yuan army relied on skillful fighting skills and extraordinary physical strength to capture a fortress in the hands of the people's army, and before it could gain a firm foothold, the captive army killed it again with the cooperation of the people's army, and used artillery and grenades to bombard a large area, forcing the Yuan army to abandon the position in hand. The fierce fighting lasted for more than ten days, and the Yuan army failed to make any effective breakthrough. And because of the small number of troops, the enemies faced by the broken army are all veterans of a hundred battles in the Mongol army, and they no longer have the strength to make a beautiful counterattack.

The moon rises on the mountain, illuminating the big tent of the broken army hidden in the depths of the dense forest.

Deputy Governor Zou Wei and Chief of Staff Zeng Huan were busy adjusting the deployment of troops under the oil lamp, and after more than ten days of cooperation, both sides discovered that each other's temperament and personality were different from those of the past.

War can always change a person as quickly as possible, and they face more than one battlefield. After a few years of ups and downs, Zou Wei is no longer the original Uncle Zou Feng who is righteous, emotional, and impulsive. From a certain point of view, he is more like Du Hu back then. Unscrupulous means, even at the expense of achieving strategic goals.

Zeng Huan is no longer the white-clothed showman who guided the country in front of Wen Tianxiang back then, his years of staff career and the twists and turns in his life just experienced have made him more mature. In the still clear eyes, in addition to the fire of wisdom flickering, there is also a little more depth and practice.

The staff members ran around, compiling information from various strategic points. The staff officer in charge of statistics on the situation between us and the enemy marked the latest situation ahead on the sand table, and after a while, a three-dimensional comparison chart of the situation appeared in front of everyone.

"I think it's a bit hanging if we go on like this?" Under the dim oil lamp, Zhang Tang, the commander of the First Division, muttered in a low voice. As soon as Boyan began to launch an all-out offensive regardless of casualties, the losses of the Breaker Army immediately increased significantly. In order to maintain the stability of the entire defense line, each fortress that relied on the people's army as the main force for defense must also invest a capital or even a team of captive troops as the backbone. As a result, the troops left for the coach to respond to emergencies were immediately stretched. When several dangerous situations appeared, Zhang Tang himself rushed to the front line to pick up the long-lost big blade.

"It must be another ten days and half a month to beat down the arrogance of this group of Yuan troops. Otherwise, the battle will only get harder and harder in the future! Zou Xun stared at the map and replied almost without any emotion.

Chief of Staff Zeng Huan glanced at Zou Wei meaningfully and did not speak. From a strategic point of view, Zou Xun's arrangement is impeccable. When the Mongol army led by Boyan fought against the Song army, he had a strong sense of superiority. This is what they have cultivated in the past with the record of winning a hundred battles behind Boyan, and if they don't defeat the enemy's sense of superiority, even if all the men and horses are shrinking near Ganzhou now, it will be difficult for the second line of defense to hold.

"Our brothers will not collapse, I am worried about the people's army in other points." Zhang Tangna pointed to the flags of different colors planted on the sand table, "Boyan attacked fiercely at several major points, but the troops he invested were only one-third of this southward journey. The remaining two-thirds, I don't know when or where they will rush over......"

On the sand table, which occupies half of the military tent, it clearly marks the deployment of troops on both sides of the enemy. The black corner flags representing the Yuan army were densely planted. Almost every passage that can go deep into the Jiangnan West Road, no matter how big or small, you can see the Yuan army in action. Some of the corner flags were planted with two or three shots, which looked like they were being tactically contained. At some points, more than a dozen corner flags were planted, which meant that tens of thousands of troops appeared nearby.

Potential dangers are always the most anxious, and the so-called "striking the west" does not mean that the direction of the feint and the main attack are clear and unambiguous. If the attacking side has sufficient troops, it is possible to change the direction of the feint attack to the direction of the main attack at any time, but the direction of the main attack that was originally fierce is actually a feint. Judging by the current ratio of forces between the enemy and us, the initiative is on the Northern Yuan side anyway.

"I had to make the brothers of the mountain brigade work hard and cheer up their spirits. If any fortress is in a hurry, rush to where to help! Zou Xun tapped his fingers on the wooden table that carried the sand table and commanded in a low voice.

"There are no more soldiers, not enough soldiers. If I can invest another 30,000 captives to Jiangnan West Road, no, as long as 20,000, I can start an attack with Boyan. He shouted reluctantly, but at the same time he knew that this dream could not be realized. There was a huge difference in physique between the vegetarian southerners and the Mongolian samurai who robbed for a living, and this gap could only be made up by armament and training. Therefore, to create a qualified soldier of the Broken Army, the cost is at least ten times that of the original Great Song Xiang Army. The Metropolitan Governor's Office has been able to develop to such a point in a few years that it has concentrated all its material and financial resources. If you want to organize more people to come out, unless Wen Tianxiang really has the ability to turn stones into gold.

"I suggest that tomorrow the musket battalion be thrown to Huangye Ridge, and suddenly give the Tartars a blow, and then move to Tiger Leaping Gorge, where they will fight a small counterattack. The official road behind the mountain can be put to good use, and the musketeers and light artillery can be moved back and forth in horse-drawn carriages. Launch a small counterattack in a different area every day, and don't cherish shells and gunpowder. In this way, Boyan couldn't figure out how many soldiers the Broken Army had on the Jiangnan West Road...... "Zeng Huan thought about it and offered a strategy for doubtful soldiers.

"This is a good way, in the current situation, neither the Tartars nor any of us can know each other!" Zou Xun nodded and agreed to Zeng Huan's suggestion. Several staff officers in the army immediately began to make corresponding tactical adjustments, and half an hour later, a detailed plan was laid out in front of the generals.

Zeng Huan reviewed the plan, made some additions in several key places, and then handed it over to Zou Wei. Zou Xun carefully read the plan for the local counterattack and the suspicious attack in stages, and passed it to Zhang Tang and Wu Xizao. Several major generals read it and nodded in agreement, and the new battle plan was quickly laid out.

Concise and efficient, the Breaker Army operates at high speed like a well-designed machine. No general is as experienced as Boyan. However, a set of effective systems made up for the shortcomings of the generals' experience and strategy to the greatest extent.

Seeing that the problem in front of him was almost solved, Zou Xun put on a cloak and slowly walked out of the military tent. Since Beiyuan adjusted his tactics, he has not closed his eyes for several days and nights. If you don't go out to blow the night breeze, you may fall asleep while standing in the military tent for a while.

Zeng Huan thought about it, picked up a cloak and followed behind Zou Huan. He hadn't partnered for a long time, and he needed more time to communicate with Zou Wei. At this moment, Zhang Tang, the commander of the first division, was also so tired that he was shaking, grabbed a cloak and wanted to go for a walk, but just moved his steps, but was quietly pulled back by the old general Wu Xizao.

"Everyone try to finish the task at hand as early as possible and take turns to rest. I don't know how long this battle will last, and when the battle is evenly matched, whoever can drag down the other side wins! Wu Xizao stopped several staff officers and middle-level generals who wanted to go out to breathe with his gaze, and ordered in a low voice.

Everyone paused, smiled as if they remembered something, and returned to their posts one after another. Regarding Zeng Huan, the pacification envoy of Jiangnan West Road, they have heard a lot of rumors recently. Some rumors have a nose and an eye, but no one can confirm the truth of them. Some of the rumors sound obviously made up, but a lot of "evidence" can be found. If we can create an opportunity for Deputy Commander Zou to have a private chat with the pacification envoy, it may be beneficial to everyone in the future.

"If you kid can come half a month earlier, this battle will be much easier than now!" Zou Xun hoarsely voiced, as if he was complaining and as if he was approving. Standing in his position, he could easily deduce that the reason why Zeng Huan came to Jiangnan West Road to partner with him was because Wen Tianxiang was punishing the other party in disguise. But from the perspective of being favorable to the battle situation, he still felt that Wen Tianxiang had made a wise decision. It is a pity that a strategist like Zeng Huan, who has a unique vision and a keen grasp of opportunities on the battlefield, is placed in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion instead of the front line. Only the front line of the rapidly changing situation can give better play to its ingenuity.

"Half a month ago, I was still busy dealing with the emperor's pressing step by step. Although every step he takes is a stupid move, after all, he occupies a righteous name! Zeng Huan looked at the rising moon and said lightly.

Regarding the reason for his "exile", he never intended to hide it from Zou Xun and others. As an old acquaintance who walked down from Baizhang Ridge together, there is no need to hide some secrets that cannot be hidden. And when you can share some secrets, you will feel less distance from each other, and it will be a good deal to be honest with each other in terms of cooperation in the present and helping each other in the future.

"Charter!" Zou Xun stepped forward and gently tapped Zeng Huan's shoulder, "The Metropolitan Governor is not a person without a stomach, the situation he is facing now is very complicated, and there is more than one opponent. More people are friends and foes, and it is not clear at all! So ......"

This is what he wanted to say as soon as he saw Zeng Huan, but he never found a suitable opportunity to say it, and he didn't know if it would cause the other party to be unhappy after saying this. Now seeing Zeng Huan talking about how to deal with the royal family with relief, Zou Wei knows that the shadow left by this storm has become a thing of the past in Zeng Huan's heart, and anything he says tonight will not embarrass the other party. After tonight, everyone will choose to forget all the words, and no one needs to remember them forever.

"I know that if you change to someone else, it will be strange if you see that your subordinates are colluding with each other behind their backs, and they will not be punished immediately! Otherwise, wouldn't outsiders think that there is a gap in our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to take advantage of? Zeng Huan nodded, with a little smile in his eyes. When I was planning with Ziju, Minzhang and others, we had already taken into account the consequences of the Duke's wrath. Honestly, this result is much simpler than we thought! ”

Zou Xun's head was a little dizzy, and he didn't close his eyes for several days and nights to command the battle, which made his thinking obviously dull. What's more, Zeng Huan said that he was the least good at political strategy. However, from the other party's calm smile, he couldn't see that Zeng Huan was half resentful of his friend Wen Tianxiang, on the contrary, it seemed that being "degraded" to Jiangnan West Road was a move arranged by him, so he was willing to do it.

"Charter, you won't ......?" After a moment's pause, Zou Xun muttered.

Zeng Huan shook his head and replied with a smile: "I won't be as godly as you think, and I can count all the things I use." It's just that when we planned it at the beginning, we deliberately left a flaw. If the Metropolitan Governor wants to further obtain the throne, he can turn a blind eye and even push the boat with the current. If he really didn't want to wear that yellow robe, he would naturally have a chance to terminate the whole plan. After all, Wang Shi, Zhang Wanan, and a few of them were all pulled up by the Prime Minister! ”

Wang Shi, Zhang Wanan? Zou Wei thought hard for a while, only to realize that Zeng Huan was talking about Wang Laoshi and Zhang Goudan. Among the veterans on Baizhang Ridge, these two people used to be the closest to Wen Tianxiang. It can be said that it is more difficult to let them disobey Wen Tianxiang's orders than to let them commit suicide. Zeng Huan and others really want to make big things, and arranging these two people as a key step is indeed a super stupid move.

Thinking of this, Zou Xun couldn't help laughing and said: "No wonder Zeng Junshi, who has no last resort, will actually be seen through the entire plan by the prime minister, it turns out that he deliberately left a flaw for the prime minister to see!" ”

He didn't believe Zeng Huan's statement very much, but he didn't think it was necessary for him to investigate its authenticity. After all, the conflict between the Metropolitan Governor's Office and Xing Dynasty was controlled within a very reasonable range, and the impact on the front-line soldiers was very weak. After hearing the rumors, most of the generals of the Broken Army and the People's Army smiled and scolded Chen Yizhong for sowing discord, and then put their minds back on how to deal with the attack of the Yuan army.

"The real last resort is the prime minister, when a few of us tried to mobilize the army and concealed it, we found out that almost all the generals above the battalion were trained by the Shao Wu Command Academy. And with the system of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it is almost impossible to mobilize more than one battalion of soldiers and horses without letting the prime minister himself know! Zeng Huan smiled and praised with emotion.

The internal structure of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is very sophisticated, and it is a bit like those new instruments launched by the Shaowu Academy of Sciences. Those who have been in it have only felt the convenience of the system, but they have not deliberately paid attention to the mutual constraints of some of these arrangements. When you want to do some kind of "destruction", you suddenly find that there are so many constraints in it, you can't help but think that when the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was just built, Wen Tianxiang had already considered that he would encounter a situation similar to today's in the future development.

"Alas!" Zou Xun's sigh sounded a little heartfelt emotion. At that time, he didn't try to pull the governor back to what he thought was the right direction, but when he tried to take action, he was surprised to find that Wen Tianxiang, who seemed to be tolerant and generous to his subordinates, had taken a lot of precautions at the beginning of Shao Wu's army. Several key positions restrain each other, and unless everyone coordinates their movements, it will be difficult for any arrangement to hide from Wen Tianxiang's eyes.

"Still, that's fine. Under such circumstances, the prime minister refuses to put on a yellow robe, and if others want to wear a yellow robe in the future, they must also consider whether they have the prestige of the prime minister! Zeng Huan shrugged his shoulders and continued.

"I just wronged a few of you!" Zou Wei somewhat believed that what Zeng Huan said was the truth. If Zeng, Chen, Liu, Du, and other important officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office failed to succeed, others who tried to get their hands on the merits of the establishment should know that they could not achieve the same goal. Moreover, Wen Tianxiang did not miss the old feelings and "degraded" several old departments with great achievements, which can also have a certain deterrent effect on others.

The people who walked down from Baizhang Ridge are well-known hard characters, and they can be honest with each other when they are in trouble together. If the situation stabilizes and then moves the sword for the sake of political disagreement, it will really make the relatives and enemies happy. Therefore, some things are better to be picked late than early, and everyone has a scale in their hearts.

"If there are any grievances, we are just afraid that the will of the metropolitan governor will not be firm, and he will drive away the Tartars in the future, but return the authority to the Zhao family."

"Are you afraid that the governor of the capital will return to the emperor?" Zou Xun asked with a laugh, as if he had heard a very strange joke.

"Of course I'm afraid, in that case, everyone will die without a place to be buried!" Zeng Huan was a little embarrassed by the laughter and explained in a low voice. "The more the battle is fought, the smoother it becomes, and people have to think about the way out in the future!"

"And now?" Zou Xun asked with a smile. In addition to expelling the Tartars, he didn't guess very clearly what Wen Tianxiang's life goals were. But Wen Tianxiang will never return the authority to the royal family, this is something that he Uncle Zou Feng saw clearly from the beginning, but he didn't expect that the closest colleagues with Wen Tianxiang didn't understand the subtlety.

"Now?" Zeng Huan shook his head with a smile and asked rhetorically: "Uncle Feng, if the Prime Minister really wants to return his authority in the future, may he have to go back?" ”

"This?" At the same time, Zou Xun, who had the deputy governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the deputy commander of the Broken Army, and many official titles bestowed by the Great Song Dynasty, suddenly turned his head, and a bright moonlight shone on his face, illuminating his eyes that had gradually become firm in confusion.
