223 Lost Dogs

Such a summary, don't really say it, the lesson will be laid out.

Yuan Shizhong, Zhang Luofu and others had the psychology of competing for merit, and they almost fell into the scheme. If it weren't for the timely appearance of Liu Jin and Yuan Zhuangfei's subordinates, they would definitely lose a lot.

In addition, once the army fights, the enemy is defeated, and the pursuing army is also prone to losing its formation. This point, after summing up, is a big hidden danger. If there are more enemy troops, it is easy to cause losses.

As soon as these problems are laid out, the solution to them will naturally know how to solve them for these generals who are used to fighting. Therefore, under the leadership of Zhang Mingwei, the countermeasures were quickly improved.

Late at night, after the meeting was dismissed, the generals dispersed with surprise.

For a long time, for these generals, it was based on intuition that they were fighting. But after such a summary, many people feel that it can be like this, and it is so dangerous today. Instead of laughing when you win, and angry with others when you lose.

That night, many generals thought about this meeting and went to bed very late.

Zhang Mingwei also went to bed very late, holding the summary of the meeting minutes, determined to increase investment in pre-war intelligence. Otherwise, he would only face Zuo Liangyu today, and his strength is limited. What if it was replaced by other thieves?

If they were fighting with Li Zicheng, and then the Fifth Battalion of the Left Brigade, or Zhang Xianzhong, they came and suddenly joined the battlefield, if they only followed today's style of fighting, it is estimated that they would lose the battle!

According to Zhou Yuji, the famous generals before, such as Cao Wenzhao, chased the thieves to cut melons and vegetables, and they were very easy, but as a result, they fell into the encirclement of the thieves while fighting, and were finally killed by the enemy with superior forces.

The army that is now in control, for the thieves, the frontal combat power is okay, and the key is to guard against the fact that there are more thieves. In addition, in terms of the aftermath, the most important thing is the resettlement of those who have been coerced, which will become more and more difficult as the number of people resettled increases and they become farther and farther away from Beijing.

For example, this time, there are more than 100,000 prisoners to be resettled, and it is impossible to rely on the local government alone, which not only consumes military rations, but also consumes troops to guard them. The captives could not continue south until they had been disposed of.

In addition, Jianyu is a strong enemy in this period, and with the same amount of combat power, it will definitely be much stronger than the combat power of the rogue. As for how to fight Jianyu, it is also something that must be pondered as soon as possible.

This night, Zhang Mingwei thought a lot and went to bed very late.

………………

Like Zhang Mingwei, Zuo Liangyu and Hou Sui fled in embarrassment, at this time, it was late at night, although the two of them escaped the pursuit of the imperial court officials and soldiers, they were in a very bad mood.

Not to mention that all the grain and grass were lost, the more than 100,000 troops said that they were gone, and more importantly, his core military strength was also lost. At this time, there were only more than a thousand riders with him.

"Alas, I've said it all, the best plan is to build a high wall and accumulate grain to slowly become the king, what's the benefit of fighting with that Xingguo Gong, look, who else can you beat now?" Hou Sui was on the edge of the fire, sighing and chattering.

Zuo Liangyu was silent, looked down at the fire, and hated it in his heart, that hairy boy was so treacherous that he buried an ambush in Xinle County. If it weren't for this ambush, I would have won!

"Think about it, that Xingguo Gong can win the princes of the court, and the emperor appreciates it so much, how can he be a person who has no ability, a mistake, a mistake!"

“……”

Listening to Hou Sui's "post-war summary", Zuo Liangyu suddenly stood up suddenly, kicked the fire hard, and kicked the firewood scattered, which frightened Hou Sui and the others to hug their heads and run away: "What's the use of an afterthought?" No matter how verbose you are, do you think Lao Tzu won't kill? ”

When Hou Sui heard this, he suddenly remembered that he was not the governor of the general army and horses, but Zuo Liangyu's military advisor! is really going to anger Zuo Liangyu, what can't he do?

Thinking of this, Hou Sui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly confessed.

After losing his temper, Zuo Liangyu stared at the fire again and began to think about the way back.

He had even been wiped out a few times before, so he was experienced.

After escaping back, as soon as the flag is raised, the defeated soldiers will be sought out one after another. At that time, the grain, grass and baggage were piled up in a safe nest, so it could quickly make a comeback.

But now, it has become a rebel, there is no such thing as a nest at all, and the grain and grass can only be carried with the army. After this battle, not to mention the loss of grain and grass, and the veterans are so few, even if there are escapes, he has no place to show the flag now, otherwise, the court officials and soldiers will definitely chase after him, not the same as when he fought with the thieves, the thieves will not take the initiative to attack the city where he is.

Thinking about the comparison between the past and the present, a word suddenly popped up in Zuo Liangyu's mind: the lost dog!

At this moment, he finally realized how much he had fought in the name of the imperial court! And now, he can only flee like a thief, or even worse, he must not only be careful of the pursuit of the court officials and soldiers, but also beware of the thief's side to kill him.

The situation ahead is really difficult......

Thinking of this, it is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to say that there is no regret at all. Turning his head to look at Hou Sui, who was cowering, he sighed again in his heart. Now there is no other way but to escape from here quickly, just according to what Hou Sui said, escape and have a look.

This person, in terms of fighting a war, will only talk on paper. However, in terms of the overall situation, he still has a vision. At least the idea that he put forward before that the sandpiper and clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman is still very good!

It's just that there are only more than 1,000 horsemen now, and if you don't fight with the imperial court officials and soldiers, if you directly transfer in, the situation will be many times better than now.

Thinking so, Zuo Liangyu sighed in his heart, and then became angry again, shouting in his heart: Damn hairy boy, wait and see!

At dawn the next day, Zuo Liangyu did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately led the remnants of the defeated army to continue to flee south, and the farther away from the imperial court officials and soldiers, the better.

On Xinle's side, after Zhang Mingwei came out with all the statistical results, he began to reward his merits and deeds, and reported his success to Jingshi.

Thanks to the slaughter of eight fat sheep, not only is there no shortage of military salaries, but also money for military rewards. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the army under his command is only more than 40,000 in total.

The grain and grass seized from Zuo Liangyu greatly supplemented the consumption of money and grain, and the difficulty of resettling the prisoners was also greatly reduced.

To fight, it really has to be captured! Zhang Mingwei sighed so emotionally in his heart, although the army still had to stay in Xinle for a few days, but the night was already sprinkled in the direction of Kaifeng.

When the captives on Xinle's side are almost disposed of, it's time to go south to lift the siege of Feng. As for Zuo Liangyu, he didn't know where to flee, and he couldn't waste time on him.

………………

Zhang Mingwei didn't know that the first time he led his troops to fight, he actually touched the hearts of many people. There are a lot of people who are concerned and worried.

Not to mention others, just Min Hongxue, the secretary of the military department who recommended Zhang Mingwei to lead the army to fight, is actually no exception. Although he also knew the outcome of the first battle, he was still worried.

After all, Zhang Mingwei had never led an army to fight before, but Zuo Liangyu was a very famous general, and that Hou Sui had also led the army to fight before.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen took the imperial doctor to visit him. This is a rare gift for the courtiers. How many courtiers can get the emperor to come out of the palace to visit? As far as the Chongzhen Dynasty is concerned, it is only one Xingguo Gong.

For a while, many people were very envious of Min Hongxue.

However, Min Hongxue understood that it was not that he had received the same treatment as the Duke of Xingguo, but that Emperor Chongzhen was very worried about the war ahead. Otherwise, why did Emperor Chongzhen ask about the battle situation on the side before the imperial doctor's diagnosis was finished: "Min Qing thinks that Xingguo Gong really has the talent to lead troops to fight?" ”

Min Hongxue was a little disappointed in his heart, but looking back, this was already a very great favor, no matter how he was, it was impossible to compare with Xingguo Gong, thinking about it like this, he was relieved, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, as the commander-in-chief, he has a calm temperament and can convince the public, which is the most important prerequisite for winning the battle." The old minister thinks that the rejuvenation of the country can also be! ”

He couldn't say that he was also worried, so he said the reason why he recommended Xingguo Gong in the first place. However, there is one thing he didn't say, that is, he didn't have any other candidates at that time, so he could only recommend Xingguo Gong.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard him say this, his expression was obviously relaxed, and after a while, he said with a little worry: "But the initial battle is like a broken bamboo, and Zuo Liangyu's traitor department has no power to fight back, is this Mr. using soldiers like a god, or is Zuo Liangyu's rebellion vulnerable?" ”

If Zuo Liangyu's rebellion is the kind of war scum and vulnerable, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen himself is a little unconvinced. For so many years, I have tolerated Zuo Liangyu's arrogance and undisciplined, just because Zuo Liangyu can fight!

However, from the perspective of the initial battle, Zuo Liangyu's troops were defeated in the first battle, and the result was vulnerable, after Emperor Chongzhen was happy at first, he was worried about whether there was fraud in it.

Others may not know, but Emperor Chongzhen knows it very well. Mr. is from the later generations, it was the Taiping period, and the way of fighting has changed dramatically, if Mr. is the reincarnation of Sun Wu, born to fight, he does not believe it.

Otherwise, Mr. Chu would have been cautious and said that he would learn from Zhou Yuji to see what the war was like in this era.

However, if he can get affirmation from Min Hongxue, then he will be a lot more relieved.

Therefore, after asking the question, he stared at Min Hongxue without blinking, to see how he answered?

When Min Hongxue heard this, he was really a little hesitant, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen staring at him, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have enough food, and the military salary is not deducted from the slightest deduction, and the morale is high. It is not difficult to fight head-on and defeat the traitor with one blow! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked, "What about the decisive battle with Zuo Liangyu's traitorous main force?" In Min Qing's opinion, what will be the situation of the war? ”

It's hard to answer! Min Hongxue listened and thought in his heart.

After a little hesitation, he said: "If the Duke of Xingguo fights steadily and steadily, gives full play to the advantages of the imperial court officers and soldiers who are elite and more elite than the rebels, I believe that the rebels under Zuo Liangyu will definitely not be pleased!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened and nodded, but he immediately became worried again, so he asked again: "Then what if you don't fight like this?" Do I mean, like the first battle, that we can defeat the rebels quickly? ”

After a pause, he added: "Will this war be easy to fight and continue to fight like this?" ”

When Min Hongxue heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He remembered that since the rise of Xingguo Gong, he has been sharp, and above the court, who dares to confront him?

When it comes to the battlefield, it is so easy to win the first battle, will he forget what he told him, he must know himself and his opponent in order to win all battles?

Thinking of this, Min Hongxue suddenly regretted it a little. The saying that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do! Otherwise, this famous saying has been passed down to this day, but how many people have understood the essence of it?

Thinking like this, he was also a little worried.

Emperor Chongzhen kept staring at Min Hongxue, and soon noticed Min Hongxue's emotional changes, and suddenly, his heart sank: Should it ...... Something is going to happen, right?

Thinking like this, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What does Min Qing think?" ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen already regretted it a little. The great talent of the gentleman is obviously not on the battlefield!

His advantage is to use the knowledge of hundreds of years in later generations, as well as his understanding of history, to help him refresh the atmosphere of the court, punish corrupt officials, recommend clean officials and capable officials, and make money!

And Min Hongxue was a little anxious when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's urging, and he knew that the emperor should have felt bad and was a little worried.

Thinking so, he thought about the words and wanted to answer, but at this moment, he felt an itchy throat and couldn't help coughing.

At the same time, he had an idea, and he coughed continuously, in order to give himself a little more world to think about how to answer Emperor Chongzhen's question.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he was even more worried, and hurriedly scolded the imperial doctor on the side: "How is Min Qing's condition, can there be a result?" ”

The imperial doctor originally wanted to play the right game, but when he heard the two of them talking, he had to wait first. When he heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Min Benbing is overworked, his body is weak and invaded by the wind and cold, as long as he keeps warm properly and takes the prescription prescribed by Weichen on time, Weichen guarantees that he will be cured in ten days and a half months." ”

In the original history, Min Hongxue would have died of illness in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen. It can be seen that his health is indeed not very good. In this plane, being recommended by Zhang Mingwei to go out of the mountain and leading troops to fight is naturally even more laborious.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to the words of the imperial doctor and was a little relieved, but he was more worried about the war ahead, so as soon as Min Hongxue stopped coughing, he hurriedly said: "What does Min Qing think the war will be?" ”

When Min Hongxue heard this, he decided to tell the truth, but just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a shrill voice came in with excitement at the same time.
