When Qi Liang was a public servant in Beijing, he knew very well what the road he would take in the future, and if he was lucky enough to survive, it would be a road full of thorns and blood, so he seized the time to study and study, especially the study of politics, economics and military affairs as a political task. The advantage of modern people is to have advanced culture, advanced thinking, advanced understanding, just now in the shrine if he is asked to analyze he will also analyze, let him say that he can also speak the truth, but that is just on paper, he has always firmly believed in a proverb: listen more and talk less, say less and do more!

Walking out of the Chongsheng Shrine, Qi Liang wanted to hold a meeting of the generals of the forward battalion, that is, he wanted Liu Qilong and Tang Daomu to come over immediately, but there was not even a summoned person around him, and at this time he wanted to be the people of the original Efu Mansion even more.

"Shizi! Let's take our leave! "Hu Guozhu and Qin Guilin want to return to the army to lead the troops.

Qi Liang said: "The two generals, please stay, it's already noon, the two generals stay and have lunch with Xiao Wang!" He wanted to strengthen his relationship with the two of them.

Qin Guilin and Hu Guozhu frowned secretly, the military situation was like fire, how could they have time to waste on eating and drinking? Qin Guilin said with his voice behind his back: "Shizi! No! The military order is like a mountain, and the humble post is about to lead the troops to the battle! ”

Qi Liang stopped: "General Qin! I'm not in a hurry, I still want to discuss some matters with the two generals! ”

Qin Guilin said: "The son! Zhao Li Bridge is a place where soldiers must fight, from the north to the south must pass through, a little earlier to take Zhao Li Bridge can be a little more at ease! Retire first! "Turn around and want to leave.

Qi Liang was stunned and shouted, "Come back!" Some specific expedition matters have not been discussed, what are you anxious about? ”

Qin Guilin turned his head and smiled, secretly thinking: "You are just an ornament, what is there to discuss?" When we go to war, you will make meritorious service! On the surface, he still humbly refused: "The generalissimo has an order, and the humble duty has to be obeyed!" ”

Qi Liang was furious: "I am the commander of the forward battalion, you are subject to my moderation, dare not listen to me?" "There is no merit, no qualifications, no prestige, these soldiers who are rolling in blood and fire do not take him seriously at all.

Hu Guozhu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "The prince ......"

Qi Liang waved his hand to cut it off, and his voice was full of emotion: "No need to say much, no one can send troops before noon without my order!" ”

Opinionated! Stubborn as a mule! Arbitrary! Fly! Hu Guozhu and Qin Guilin's hearts were cold, "Obey orders!" The two of them retreated.

At lunchtime, Qi Liang ate lunch alone, the food was very rich, but he was not interested in these at all, and he was stunned to pick up the rice in his mouth.

"Shizi! Liu Zuoling and Tang Qianhu are here! "The eunuch came in to report.

Qi Liang raised his eyes and said, "Let them in!" ”

As soon as Liu Qilong and Tang Daomu entered the door, Qi Liang said enthusiastically: "The two of you haven't had lunch yet, right?" Come, sit down and eat together! ”

Liu Qilong and Tang Daomu waved their hands: "Thank you, Shizi!" We've had lunch! ”

Qi Liang didn't force it, quickly finished the white rice in the bowl, stood up and said, "Let's go to the barracks!" ”

In the barracks outside the city, Hu Guozhu and Qin Guilin had been waiting for Qi for a long time, and if they set off as soon as possible, Qin Guilin's blocking force might have gone out thirty miles.

Flags are everywhere on the school field, the soldiers are wearing armor, holding guns and shields, Qi Liang is riding a tall horse to inspect his troops and is very satisfied, Wu Sangui gave 12,000 troops are the elite of the big marshal battalion, both morale and equipment are superior.

"Shizi!" Hu Guozhu and Qin Guilin met with the land.

Qi Liang jumped off his horse: "Go to the tent camp!" He knew they had a problem with him.

Hu Guozhu was deeply disappointed, thinking that the prince should set off as soon as he came, the military situation was like fire, so the delay would not delay the fighter?

Qin Guilin couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Son! Time is pressing, we should hurry up and go! ”

Qi Liang glared: "Xiao Wang doesn't know that time is pressing?" Let's go immediately after we enter the account and discuss it! ”

I don't know how long it will take to delay this discussion? Qin Guilin bit his lip and said fearlessly: "Shizi, you discuss slowly, my blocking force will take the first step!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Qi Liang opened his eyes, "Those who dare to violate the order will be beaten with twenty military sticks!" With that, he rushed to the big tent in a rage.

Everyone looked at each other, Qin Guilin stubbornly did not move, Hu Guozhu shook his head and pulled him to the big tent.

"Double-guard outside, no one is allowed to come in without an order!" Qi Liang sat down at the desk and ordered.

Several generals came in one after another, and Qi Liang's expression softened slightly: "Generals, please take a seat!" ”

Everyone sat down as they were told, but their faces were calm, and no one spoke.

Qi Liang swept through and sighed: "Alas! Then he looked at Hu Guozhu: "Can I ask General Hu a question?" ”

Hu Guozhu lacked interest and was perfunctory: "Shizi, please ask!" ”

Qi Liang said: "On this expedition, will our side mainly destroy the enemy or attack the city?" ”

Hu Guozhu said as a matter of course: "Of course, it is mainly to siege the city!" "But I don't think there is any contradiction between this siege and the annihilation of the enemy.

Qi Liang patted the table and said, "So as long as we take Linxiang City, it doesn't matter if we don't annihilate any Qing army?" ”

Hu Guozhu was stunned and thoughtful, but he still didn't understand the meaning, and nodded slowly: "Exactly!" Linxiang City is like a hungry tiger in front of the couch in my Yuezhou City, and it can't sleep peacefully unless it is removed! ”

Qi Liang pursed his lips: "That's good!" Then we don't have to besiege the city! ”

Hu Guozhu was puzzled: "What does the prince mean?" ”

Qi Liang said: "We only need to release the rumors, and say that we want to flood Xiangcheng, and send two other troops to seize the Lucheng ferry and Zhao Li Bridge, and Zhu Man, who has become a frightened bird, will abandon the city!" ”

Hu Guozhu was surprised, he didn't think that the prince had other ideas, and several other people also cheered up, it turned out that the prince was not messing around.

"The son of the world has a wonderful plan!" Hu Guozhu thought about it for a while, and praised it sincerely, "You can let Liu Zuo lead 1,000 soldiers from the headquarters to pretend to rob the Lucheng ferry, and General Qin can lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to pretend to rob Zhao Li Bridge, but you can set up a false defense to let the Qing army retreat north, so I can capture Linxiang City without blood!" "Immediately, there was a fine arrangement, and the end was amazing.

Qi Liang categorically denied: "No! It's not a feint, but a real snatch of the Lucheng Ferry and Zhao Li Bridge! ”

Hu Guozhu was puzzled, pondered for a while, and asked in surprise: "The prince wants to eat Zhu Man?" ”

Qi Liang nodded emphatically: "If you don't eat the fat meat in your mouth, won't it be wasted?" ”

Qin Guilin became excited, and he didn't dare to underestimate Qi Liang anymore, so he stood up and asked respectfully: "How is the prince arranged!" ”

Qi Liang said: "First of all, create rumors, let the fine work mix into Linxiang City and spread it; Liu Qilongzuo led a thousand soldiers to seize the Lucheng ferry within two days, and collect all ships along the river for centralized control, and burn them under all circumstances, blocking the waterway for the Qing army to flee north; General Qin Guilin led 3,000 soldiers and horses to seize the Zhaoli Bridge and block the land route for the Qing army to flee north; Tang Daomu Qianhu led a thousand soldiers and horses to pretend to be the forward battalion headquarters and advance to Linxiang City; General Hu Guozhu and Xiao Wang led the troops and horses of the headquarters to set up an ambush in the Yanglou Division between Linxiang and Zhao Liqiao, and they must capture Jue Luo Belle Zhu Man alive! ”

Hu Guozhu's eyes were shining, and this dispatch was a hundred times smarter than himself, and he was impressed: "The son of the world is wise!" Such as Zhuge reincarnated! ”

Qi Liang is ashamed, is it comparable to Zhuge Kongming? In fact, this is just a variant of the "encirclement and reinforcement" tactics commonly used in the later liberation wars.

Qin Guilin stood up sincerely and convincingly: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
