Chapter 1852: Hard to the End

"My lord, Nurhachi's reaction was far more intense than expected.

If this continues, it is very likely that the Fifth Route Army will fight a decisive battle with the Qing army in Youbeiping first. Liu Bowen said with a solemn face.

Before the start of the war, Liu Bowen's three major armies agreed that after the 130,000 army arrived in Youbeiping, it was more likely that the Qin and Qing armies would not fight, and there were two reasons for this.

The first is that in addition to the 130,000 Qin troops who opened the fifth road, the Qin army that participated in the destruction of the Han was only 200,000, which did not reach the point where it could crush the Han army.

Therefore, it is more likely that the Qing army will preserve its strength and sit back and watch the defeat of both the Qin and Han dynasties.

Second, looking at Nurhachi's previous performance, whether it was against Yuan or Han, or even against Sanhan, he did not dare to go all out.

Although this arrangement is safe, it is more conservative than hard work.

Therefore, against the Qin army, which is stronger in combat and has been more united, even if the number of the Qing army is more than that of the Qin army, the Qing army may not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army when the main force of the Qin army is not damaged.

But the reaction of the Qing army will be so fierce, which is a bit unexpected.

"Hmph, just beat it, it's really that this king is afraid of him Nurhachi."

After Qin Hao snorted coldly, he ordered: "Order Jia Fu to capture Xu Wuxian within three days." ”

Xu Wuxian is still under the rule of the Han army, although it is not owned by the Qing army, but once the Qin army occupies Xu Wuxian, it means that it will officially enter the battle for Youbeiping County, and the relationship between the Qin and Qing armies will be more tense because of this.

"Lord, there is no need to continue to stimulate the Qing army, even if our army does not occupy Xu Wu County, if it only relies on the location to camp and defend it, it can also block the Qing army in Youbeiping, so that it cannot intervene in the Youzhou War.

At this time, if Xu Wuxian is captured, it will officially border with the Qing army, and there will be more places to be garrisoned, and a big war may break out if there is a little friction. Zhuge Liang said.

All the generals also nodded in agreement, after all, before the complete destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty, it was still a bit difficult to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army with only the 130,000 Qin army on the fifth road.

Qin Hao naturally knew this, but after some thought, he still decided to defeat Xu Wuxian.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, but this king still decided to capture Xu Wuxian."

As soon as Qin Hao said this, Zhuge Liang hadn't even spoken, but the generals spoke one after another, wanting to dissuade Qin Hao and dispel this idea.

Seeing this, Qin Hao explained with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to persuade this king, let's listen to the reason why this king did this first." ”

The generals stopped talking, and they thought that the lord had not had time to think deeply, and only for the sake of face continued to stimulate the Manchus.

"The Qing army has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and is accustomed to bullying others, and will never give in because our army retreats, but will only gain further inches.

Therefore, if our army has entered Youbeiping, but does not take Xu Wuxian, which is at your fingertips, this is in Nurhachi's view, which is a manifestation of the fact that the number of our army is far less than that of the Qing army, and the confidence is insufficient.

Nurhachi will think that our army is afraid of the Qing army's front, so it does not dare to attack Xu Wuxian, and the Qing army will definitely have to advance inch by inch, so as to test the bottom line of our army, and then it will be easier for a big battle to break out.

Therefore, it is better to be tough from the beginning to the end, so that the Qing army knows that our army is not afraid to go to war with it.

The Qing army could not figure out the details of our army, but would lack confidence, so they took the initiative to retreat, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, watching our army and the Northern Han Dynasty lose both. ”

After hearing Qin Hao's thorough analysis, the generals immediately stopped talking, because it really made sense.

Zhuge Liang also looked thoughtful, and then said with a smile: "The lord's words are very reasonable, but Liang didn't think about it." ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang further realized that it was a worry-free thing to have an all-round lord.

Take Qin Hao as an example, he is not only a famous general, but also a fierce general, and at the same time, his own strategy is not inferior to that of a first-class strategist, force, art of war, strategy, etc., are all the top in the world, and his consideration is even more comprehensive than that of his strategist.

It is naturally the luck of all the courtiers to meet such an all-round lord, and the only bad thing is that the monarch's talent is too strong, which will make them appear that these courtiers are incompetent.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Qin Hao said with a smile: "Where is the military advisor, you just don't know enough about the Manchu Dynasty, and this king also dealt with foreign races when he was fourteen years old, so he knows the temperament of foreign races so well." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, if this arrangement is made, the 20,000 troops under Cheng Buzhi in Tuyin County will not be able to leave it alone." ”

Qin Hao knew what Zhuge Liang meant, Tuyin County had a geographical advantage over Xu Wu County, and if there was only one Xu Wu County, the Qin army's defense line would be very porous, and only by seizing Tuyin County could the defense line be perfected.

In addition, once the capture of Tuyin County is combined with the Qing and Han, it will form a flanking attack on the Qin army, so that the Qin army, which is already short of troops, will face greater pressure.

Although Liu Che's various actions have cut off the possibility of joining forces with the Manchu Qing, Qin Hao, as the king of a country, naturally cannot pin his hopes on the morality of the enemy.

Qin Hao is responsible for the lives of 130,000 soldiers, so he must capture Tuyin County and turn the geographical advantages of the two counties into a whole, so as to completely improve the defense line.

"Youbeiping County is very small, and it can't tolerate the game of tripartite forces, which general will lead the army to attack Tuyin County?"

As soon as Qin Hao's words came out, all the generals suddenly stood up and expressed their willingness to lead the army, and some even proposed that only 5,000 soldiers and horses could be used to attack Tuyin County, which had nearly 20,000 defenders.

"Lord, Liang has a plan, if you don't waste a soldier, you can let Cheng Buzhi take the initiative to let Tuyin County."

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously and said, when he said this, all the generals didn't dare to speak, even the general who said that he only needed to lead five thousand troops.

They were sure that the capture of Tuyin County was based on the Qin army's own strong combat power, but if they didn't spend a single soldier, they would definitely not be able to do it.

Qin Hao knew that Zhuge Liang would say this, and he must have a certain degree of certainty, so he said: "Since this is the case, then the matter of capturing Tuyin County will be handed over to you by the military advisor."

I don't know how many soldiers and horses are needed for the military division? ”

"No more, no less, 30,000 is just right."

It was easy for 30,000 Qin troops to defeat 20,000 Han troops, and it was not too difficult to capture the heavily guarded Tuyin County, but it was difficult to do so without spending a single soldier.

Qin Hao was also very curious about how Zhuge Liang wanted to seize Tuyin County from Cheng Buzhi's hands without spending a single soldier, so he said decisively: "Okay, this king will give 30,000 soldiers and horses to the military division, and the three generals Long Ji, Yue Xi and Su Xian are also assigned to the military division to obey the dispatch." ”

"Liang will live up to the trust of the lord."
