Chapter 1694: Strategic Confusion

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Hanlin Tianzi".

Wu Zheng couldn't help but sigh lightly, cleaned up his mood, and said: "Do you know that more than 100 miles west of Xuyi City, is there a place called Jiuxian?" ”

"Of course you know ......."

Wu Zheng interrupted Liu Fang's words that were about to be gushing, and said solemnly, "It's good to know, take your people and rush to Jiuxian County immediately for three days...... Can it be done? ”

"Ben will ...... Ahem, we can do it. Liu Fang wanted to call General Ben coming, but looking at Wu Zheng's serious face, he couldn't help but shrink back, "What does the prince want us to do in the old county?" ”

"Hold it." Wu Zheng beckoned to Song An, and when Song An spread out the map, Wu Zheng pointed to the Huai River dozens of miles north of the old county, and said, "In the enemy's intelligence, your department is a non-existent army, and the old county is located between Fengyang City and Sizhou and Xuyi, and occupying it is equivalent to cutting off the enemy's ...... to continue to reinforce in the direction of Sizhou." ”

Wu Zheng was halfway through speaking, only to find that Liu Fang looked confused.

Only then did I realize that I was playing the piano to the cow.

So he waved his hand for Song An to put away the map, pondered for a while, tried to use simple vernacular, and explained to Liu Fang: "Fengyang City and its surroundings, the enemy chieftain Azige gathered a total of 100,000 troops, the west has the Yongli Dynasty Jin King's Great Western Army in the direction of Huguang, there is my Guangxinwei in the south, and General Chi is fighting fiercely with the enemy in Xuyi City in the east...... Azig wants to divide his troops to continue to reinforce the Sizhou direction, it is difficult! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng patted Liu Fang on the shoulder and said, "Jiuxian is not a military target for us and enemies, and there is no Northern Expeditionary Army to go in that direction, and the enemy is now overstretched...... It's just that it's too busy, so naturally it won't divide troops in the direction of the old county...... Considering that your ministry is newly formed, it is not difficult to complete the task assigned to you by Lone. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng began to teach in person, "You have broken the troops into pieces...... It's to be a common man. Divided into dozens of units, in all directions, to assemble towards the old county, remembering, no more than a hundred people per share, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy. When you arrive in the old county, don't gather together and hide in the villages of the old county ....... ”

Liu Fang suddenly interjected, and a sentence popped out, "Does the prince want to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang?" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked Liu Fang up and down, wondering if this guy was really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

didn't want Liu to put down a sentence and immediately reveal his stuffing, he smiled and said: "Han Gaozu Liu Bang sent troops to attack Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, and his general Han Xinming repaired the plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang...... Hehe, this ...... is talked about every day in the town's wine shops. ”

Wu Zheng sighed again, did he really want to hand over the task to this guy?

But at the moment, all the guards of the Northern Expeditionary Army already have their own tasks, and as the commander of the 200,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, he has no mobile troops in his hands.

"You're only half right." Wu Zhengzhi said in his heart, "Lone is not Han Gaozu, you are not Han Xin, Zhanjiu County is not a plank road, and Xuyi is not Chen Cang...... What your ministry has to do in the old county is to attack the liaison ...... between Fengyang City and Sizhou. ”

Liu Fang, who didn't know the number of etiquette, interjected again: "But what if the Tartars attack in a big way?" ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "This is the reason why Lone Ling Ling made you into pieces, there are too many people, the enemy will naturally pay attention, but every time there are dozens or hundreds of people, the enemy will only think that it is the surrounding bandits, so even if the army is sent to clear it, the number of troops will not be much...... The terrain of the old county is favorable, and it is surrounded by Nushan Lake on the west, north, and east, so as long as the number of enemies is small, even if it is cavalry, it is difficult to cross the lake and really threaten your department. ”

Liu Fang nodded and said, "I know...... The meaning of the prince is to show the enemy weakness, and slowly lead the enemy to the old county, from less to more, and accumulate a lot...... Right? ”

Wu Zheng's heart jumped, who said this was a bastard?!

That's what I mean, if I really just let Liu Fang's troops go to Jiuxian to attack the enemy, why should I come to Hengyang in person?

That is to say, from less to more, in the end, Liu Fang's troops will directly attract the reinforcements from Fengyang City to Sizhou to relieve the pressure on Chi Erhan's department.

Then, the pressure on Liu Fang's troops will increase significantly, and they may even fall into the danger of being surrounded by enemy troops.

Wu Zheng didn't say it explicitly, because he was afraid that the pressure would be too great all of a sudden, crushing Liu Fang's endurance.

However, Liu Fang comprehended, and comprehended it too quickly, so fast that Wu Zheng was a little suspicious, is this really a local old bastard?

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was that Liu Fang, who realized this, was not angry but happy, he high-fived and said: "If there is anything difficult to complete...... Even if the prince hands it over to us in the future, we can do it! ”

Wu Zheng was completely speechless.

……。

Yue Le knew that he was guilty of his crimes.

The emperor exhausted his internal funds, and the new army that he had worked so hard to build was stunned in the first battle of Haizhou, losing 10,000 people.

Among the 10,000 people, in addition to the previous dead and injured, nearly half were abandoned in Haizhou City because of their "transfer".

Although the enemy was attacked by the east and south gates at that time, the defeat was decided, but as the coach of one side, it was difficult to resign.

But to Yue Le's surprise, the enemy did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

This is very abnormal, the enemy also has cavalry in Haizhou, especially a heavy cavalry to suppress the formation, and the results of the battle should be expanded.

Yue Le, who retreated to Ganyu, had a trace of hesitation, and his heart flashed outside the north gate of Haizhou, what he realized was conjecture or truth?

Is it true that the enemy is not trying to start a decisive battle, but just a revenge?

People, as they tend to be.

It's all too easy to always doubt the truth when it's right in front of you.

But Yue Le still decided that after Dolbo sent a large army to Anton Wei, Ganyu would be handed over, and he had to go back to Beijing.

Yue Le is undoubtedly the most sane person in the Qing court.

……。

Suncheonfu, the Imperial Palace.

In the Wuying Palace, the noise was turned upside down.

Yue Le returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he followed the verbal criticism of the Manchu and Han ministers in the Chengtian Palace.

Even Hong, Fan and other officials who were originally in the same camp also criticized Yue Le.

It's really humiliating.

The emperor's own army went out for the first time, but it ended up being annihilated, and in the words of Lao Fan, the ancestors were lost.

I just don't understand, who are Lao Fan's ancestors? Manchu or Han?

If it weren't for Fulin's insistence on protecting Yue Le, Yue Le would have been imprisoned and punished.

But Rao is like this, Yue Le was also reduced by one level, and was demoted from Prince An to Prince Junjun.

But in this way, the "public outrage" is difficult to settle.

No, if you disperse the court, you will come to the Wuying Hall in the palace.

"Your Majesty, this battle is nothing more than the carelessness of the King of Anjun, whether it is manpower or material resources, it is difficult to compare with our dynasty, and the war has been going on for many years, and the Jianxing Dynasty has long been worried about external and internal troubles, and it is difficult to be comprehensive...... If we say that we will launch a decisive battle against our DPRK at this time, this will ...... This...... It's unreasonable! ”
