Chapter 556: Weaving a Web
Jizhou City Mansion, Chang Yu sat in the lobby, Huang Degong, Gao Jie and other generals sat on both sides and looked at him together, the two men and horses were ordered to suddenly go west, and in one day they broke the jujube and went down to Jizhou, and directly advanced more than 100 miles.
The two of them were in an indescribable mood for the little eunuch at this time, they couldn't say it with mixed tastes, they were a little afraid of being a little convinced, but they were a little unwilling, obviously the little eunuch didn't contribute at all along the way, but it seemed that without him, it would be impossible to fight so smoothly in this battle.
All the officers and soldiers under the command of the two have entered the city, and what remains outside is the Jingguan made by more than 2,000 thieves, as for the corpses that have been buried, Li Chengdong is not only ruthless but also smart, let the thieves dig their own pits first and then kill.
Taking Jizhou is just the beginning, there are still countless county towns and several state capitals to be recovered to the west, it can be said that there is a long way to go, the only thing that is gratifying is that the officers and soldiers are no longer used in the wilderness to camp and live in a fixed place, such a large city as a stronghold, and then slowly advance westward.
There was a simple map on the table in the hall, everyone gathered together, Chang Yu held a chopstick in his hand, and pointed to the west: "The reinforcements of the thief army arrived overnight, and it can be seen that the distance is not far.
Huang Degong and Gao Jie changed color slightly, and the two of them only cared about the road for half a month, and they didn't know that "Kou Dazhi, three hundred miles...... but thinking that the thief army would march all the way east from the west road and then turn north, there would be a lot of shrimp soldiers and crabs along the way, plus the number of cannon fodder must be amazing.
"According to the existing information in the hands of the governor, the main force of the thief army is mainly concentrated in the three directions of the southeast and northwest outside the city of Baoding, at this time there is Li Yanbu in the north, and Zhou Yuji in the west, plus Baoding City under the nose can attract most of the main forces that disperse him, Liu Zeqing only needs to sweep the Hejian Mansion and put pressure on him in the east, at this time he has no time to face the south, and he can't distinguish the main force to deal with it, at most some second- and third-rate goods, so we can rest assured, show our strength and take the opportunity to regain the lost ground, and at the same time go north to block his back road."
Chang Yu's chopsticks slid around the map, his expression indifferent and confident.
Huang Degong frowned: "Although it is a second- or third-rate product, don't forget, Lord Overseer, the thief army is good at coercing the homeless, and using the homeless people as pawns to consume the combat power of officers and soldiers is very headaches."
All the generals agreed, this is indeed a headache for more than ten years, if they don't kill, they are the accomplices of the thief army. kills, consumes combat power, and provokes infamy. In the past ten years, the imperial court has been divided into two factions on how to deal with this situation, and it is very fierce.
"Kill!" Chang Yu's tone was light, and he couldn't see a trace of kindness or anger, as if this was the best answer, so he should do it!
Huang Degong and Gao Jie couldn't help but glance at each other, and the two nodded silently.
"The army is cultivated, tomorrow send several units of men and horses to reconnoiter the southeast and north, fifty miles, the nearby small city will be easily taken, and the governor will advance to Zhaozhou (now Zhao County, Ming is Zhaozhou, the real Dingfu Zhaozhou, under the jurisdiction of six counties)" Chang Yu knocked on the table to draw the key.
All the generals frowned, there are more than 200 miles of land from Jizhou to Zhaozhou, and only three days of marching is the extreme, not to mention attacking cities and plundering land along the way, which is simply impossible.
Chang Yu observed the words and looks, knowing that everyone was embarrassed, and smiled slightly: "This governor guarantees that this road to the west, there is almost no obstacle within a hundred miles, and the real fight must be pushed at least a hundred miles to the west, and you will wait for the horse to move forward bravely."
"Isn't the factory governor afraid that he will go too far alone? After entering the territory of Zhaozhou, it is surrounded by enemies on three sides" Huang Degong looked at the map, and his fingers slowly slid along the city of Jizhou to the west: "Dozens of miles away is the westernmost county seat under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, Xinhe County, across the Xinhe River to the west is Ningjin, Gaoyi, Lincheng and other small cities under the jurisdiction of Zhaozhou, to the south is Guangping Mansion (Xingtai), to the north is Zhending Mansion (Dingzhou), and then to the north is Baoding Mansion...... It's really a thief's den."
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger" Chang Yu smiled coldly, and his finger clicked on the circle in Gaoyi County: "So far, the soldiers are divided into two roads, one south and one north."
Huang Degong and Gao Jie were shocked: "The factory governor wants to divide the troops?" ”
"Why not?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Go north to block the back road of the thief army, encircle and annihilate it, go south to take the opportunity to regain the lost territory, the thief army goes north and leaves troops in the state capitals in the south, but there are hundreds of thousands, and the main force is surrounded in the north, what a good opportunity!" ”
As soon as they said this, everyone understood, and they all nodded in agreement, but the question came again, who went north and who went south?
Huang Degong and Gao Jie glanced at each other, and then looked at Chang Yu at the same time.
The little eunuch was also smiling, and his eyes were looking at the two of them: "Do you two discuss it yourself or do you want to order the general?" ”。
"The last general is only the factory superintendent, and you have a word about the sword mountain and the sea of fire" Huang Dequan said first, Gao Jie hesitated slightly, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be entangled.
He is indeed entangled, the emptiness of the thief army in the south is a good opportunity, and the recovery of the lost territory is also a great achievement, why go north and fight with the main army of the thief army, he really doesn't want to fight with Li Zicheng head-on, but he also knows that the encirclement and annihilation are even greater, and it may even be crowned as a national pillar because of this, which makes it difficult for him to choose for a while.
But Li Zicheng has been beaten by the imperial court several times in more than ten years, and he has not been caught once when he saw that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, this time he can really catch him with an army of more than 100,000 and countless cannon fodder little eunuchs with less than 100,000 people? I'm afraid it's empty again.
"The last general is willing to lead the army south to regain the lost territory!" Gao Jie thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, or go for the work with low risk and high reward, steady!
"Very good" Chang Yu nodded and was not reluctant, but suddenly said: "Your subordinate Li Chengdong is good at fighting and ruthless enough, this governor appreciates it very much, how about borrowing it for a few days, and returning it to you immediately after breaking the thief."
"The factory supervisor sees that he intends to carry him is smoking from his ancestral tomb, and it is too late for the general to be happy for him, how can he not allow it" Gao Jie always thought that Chang Yu was very disgusted with Li Chengdong, because he knew how bad the conduct of this subordinate was, but he didn't think that the little eunuch would fall in love with his ruthless side, and it was also a good thing for him that his henchman would be favored by the little eunuch, and if he made a meritorious service, he could also be polished, so he responded happily.
In the middle of the night, there was silence in Jizhou City, Chang Yu strictly ordered not to disturb the people, and those who violated the order were immediately beheaded, because he had recently killed Taisheng and really committed crimes without a top wind, and the perpetrators of the crime were Li Chengdong, who was notorious and honest.
The wind outside the window, Chang Yu tossed and turned, this time he went south and Li Zicheng again, its momentum was much greater than that of Taiyuan, and he did not stick to a city, but had to fight in various places, and at the same time arranged a net in a radius of hundreds of miles, and now it is time to slowly close the net without any mistakes, step by step, one mistake, all the previous efforts are lost.
At this time, Liu Zeqing's men should have taken Hejian Mansion and began to advance towards the counties under its jurisdiction, what about Li Yan, have you ever fought with the thieves, and what is the victory? Is Zhou Yuji still in Dingzhou, he has not been directly connected with this goods, and he doesn't miss him very much for more than a month, and it shouldn't be a problem for this old boy to single-handedly take on the two thieves of Jirong and Ma Shiyao in Dingzhou.
And Li Zicheng, what are you thinking? Do you know that Lao Tzu has woven a net for you, as long as he catches you this time, he really won't leave you a way to live.
