Chapter 1367: Picking Up a Famous Gentleman (2)

"Then don't say it quickly!" Wu Zheng is really fed up with the literati of this era, they always like to talk about half hiding and half hanging people's appetites, thinking of this bad place, Wu Zheng glared at Ma Shiying fiercely.

Poor Ma Shiying didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, and he suffered an unjustified disaster in vain.

The scholar said: "The student friend Luo Zhonglin and the Fengyang celebrity Mao Xiang are close friends, and Mao Xiang and Xiong Anyuan are distant relatives. ”

Wu Zheng calmed down, "What you said is true?" ”

"To tell the truth, the students will never dare to coax the prince."

"But even if you persuade 8,000 Yingchuan Guards to surrender, you will not be able to defeat the 90,000 troops of Fengyang Azig."

"Don't be in a hurry...... If you want to make all the contributions, you must have Bozhou Wu Pingwei to participate in the grand event. ”

"Oh? Do you still have a way to persuade Wu Pingwei to surrender? Wu Zheng asked with a hint of mockery.

"Nope." The scholar shook his head without thinking about it and said, "If Yingchuanwei is anyway, then Wu Pingwei will have to be forced to land by the prince's Northern Expeditionary Army." ”

Wu Zheng smiled, "Do you know that even if your strategy is feasible, it will take no less than four or five days to come and go between Yingzhou and Xuzhou, not counting the time when the king mobilized the Northern Expeditionary Army to Bozhou to force the landing of Wu Pingwei, but now the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army has gone north to attack Peixian, and there is no adjustable army in the hands of this king...... How to make a forced landing on Wu Pingwei? ”

"Yingchuan and Wuping Erwei are all surrendered by the Ming army, bending their knees and being repeatedly oppressed, and they have long been unhappy in their hearts, but they are suffering from no one to lead, so they swallow their anger and ...... so far." The scholar talked eloquently, "Besides, the combat power of the prince's Northern Expeditionary Army has long been famous all over the world, and no one along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River knows who doesn't know, and even the Manchu regent died at the hands of the prince this time...... The student asserted that Yingchuan and Wuping Erwei could all be passed on. ”

Wu Zheng suddenly laughed and said: "Although this king also likes to listen to compliments, but your sycophant is not Wang Taishuang...... If you want to attract the attention of this king and use it as a step to advancement, I am afraid that you will be disappointed...... Master Ma Shiyingma beside this king compliments people's kung fu, which is much more clever than you. ”

Ma Shiying was speechless, and suffered another unwarranted disaster.

"The prince is really as bright as a torch, and the students admire it!" The scholar did not shy away from saying, "The student is good at learning, and he sees that the prince has hidden the appearance of the emperor, so he came to serve, and I hope that the prince will not give up!" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this guy's face is really thick, and the plan he offered has not yet been skimmed, so he recommended himself.

Wu Zheng ignored him and turned his head to look at Ma Shiying and Song An, "Do you think his plan is feasible?" ”

Ma Shiying replied: "Mao Xiangzi to open up Xinjiang, called Pu'an, also known as Puchao, Yangzhou people's family, the year is not confused, Shiying has had several relationships with it. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying stopped and looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng said in surprise: "This is the end?" ”

Ma Shiying said: "It's over." ”

"You haven't answered that this plan is not feasible?"

Ma Shiying replied: "There is no unfeasible plan in the world, but whether the prince is willing to do it or not, and whether it is worth doing." ”

This was a subtle statement, but Wu Zheng understood the meaning.

I have to say that this scholar does meet Wu Zheng's expectations.

The significance of recovering Xuzhou is significant, in the past five years, all efforts and hard work have undergone a fundamental change because of Xuzhou, that is to say, the Northern Expeditionary Army occupies Xuzhou, then the situation of the entire battlefield will be reversed, from passive defense to active attack.

Wu Zhengneng doesn't know?

But the problem is that it is really impossible to fight now, Zhang Guowei is right, if he continues to fight, unless he does not pay his salary, ammunition falls from the sky, and the soldiers can fight with the enemy hungry.

Of course, there is another method, which is to "eat in place", but can this be done?

Therefore, no matter how urgent Wu Zheng's desire for the Northern Expedition was at this time, he had to follow Zhang Guowei's advice, because Zhang Guowei's meaning was the meaning of the entire general's mansion.

But this scholar gave Wu Zheng another possibility and hope, persuaded and forced to land Yingchuan and Wuping Erwei, and surrounded the Fengyang Azig Department on all sides, forcing the Qing court to make concessions, so as to truly recover Xuzhou.

This strategy has great risks, first, although it is surrounded on all sides, it is necessary to get Yingchuan and Wuping Erwei to block the west and north sides, and Xia Wanchun and Liao Zhaoping have to block the south, and the Northern Expeditionary Army to block the east, this is a cross-force and cross-regional military operation, and the risk lies in whether Yingchuan and Wuping Erwei can resist a frontal attack by Azig.

The biggest risk is whether the Qing court will be willing to post a Xuzhou gain or loss for the Azig department, if not, then the war will not be reversed, which is an unbearable burden for Wu Zheng and the imperial court.

Because of the stubborn resistance of the Azig Department and the enemy's reinforcements from Henan and Shandong, it was enough to destroy the entire Fengyang Mansion and drag down the General's Mansion and the imperial court.

In other words, it is inevitable that the Qing court will assemble the main forces on both sides of the Yellow River, and the real main battlefield will turn from the southwest and southeast to the south of the Yangtze River, which is absolutely contradictory to Wu's strategy of using the southwest and southeast to contain the Qing court and realize his rise in the south of the Yangtze River.

And Ma Shiying's words are to wake up Wu Zheng, how to choose.

Wu Zheng slowly turned his head to look at Song An, "What do you mean?" ”

Song An said calmly: "No matter what the young master decides, I agree." ”

"." Wu Zheng scolded casually, and then turned to the scholar, "What do you call it?" ”

The scholar simply cleaned up his clothes, and then solemnly bowed and said, "Student Li Hao, meet His Royal Highness King Wu." ”

Wu Zheng's heart was shocked, "I know you ......." ”

This stunned everyone.

Especially Li Hao himself, he asked in surprise: "Where did the prince know about the students?" ”

Indeed, at this time, Li Hao was only less than thirty, and had not yet traveled around to give lectures, because his father died in Xiangcheng, his family was poor, and his widowed mother depended on each other.

Wu Zheng knew him, only because later generations called Li Hao, Meixian Li Bai, and Fuping Li Yindu as the "Three Lis of Guanzhong", and Huang Zongxi of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and Sun Qifeng of Rongcheng in Zhili, and called the three great Confucians in China.

Fortunately, Wu Zheng saw the opportunity quickly, and covered up the past with a loud laugh, "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor." ”

Although it didn't fit, no one dared to ask about it anymore.

In fact, Wu Zheng pulled it casually, and no one dared to ask.

"Li Hao, this king wants to ask, do you think it is important to Delong or Wangshu?"

Li Hao smiled and said: "Then you need to ask the prince first, whether you want to forge ahead or be content." ”

Wu Zheng also smiled, "What if this king wants to have both?" ”

Li Hao was obviously stunned, and suddenly arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" ”

Wu Zheng laughed, "Wait...... Is it to retreat in the face of difficulties? ”

"Yes." Li Hao turned around and looked directly at Wu Zhengdao, "The student is only a shallow learner, and he can't do it for the prince to plan both." ”
