Chapter 267: A Perfect of Both Worlds
"Shangzhuguo said very much, when Shang Kexi's father followed Mao Wenlong and died on the battlefield of Liaodong, he was originally an orphan of a martyr, after being loyal and good, if he was not framed by a traitor, he knew in advance that this guy might not go to his father-killing enemy.
And I mention this not to excuse Shang Kexi's rebellion, but to say that this person is definitely very shrewd, whether he is fighting in war or being an official, he will rarely put himself in danger. ”
Tianlang paused, looked at Qin Liangyu, thought for a moment and continued:
"Then in Changde, in the face of the surprise attack of our army when his own troops are insufficient, it is impossible for him to shrink up and wait for death, he should find a strategy that can be attacked, retreated, and defended."
Qin Liangyu nodded approvingly, and then said, "Long live what else came to mind?" For example, if we really put Shang Kexi in a net, will Kong Youde come to the aid with all his might.
If this is the case, if we are not able to annihilate it in a short period of time, we are likely to face a situation of being attacked from the belly. ”
Qin Liangyu looked at Tianlang with a smile, and said: "It seems that the minister can ask long live in another way, now our army is divided into two ways, Li Dingguo and Li Jin, attacking Geng Zhongming east of Dongting Lake, and we are attacking Shang Kexi west of Dongting Lake."
In this way, the arrangement of the Sanshun king's general Shang Kexi's department as the backup of the whole army was destroyed.
In this way, when Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were attacked at the same time, only Kong Youde himself could send troops to support, which was what we wanted to achieve in the original attack plan.
So there is such a question, which is also what the minister wants to guess with Banzai, let's guess who Kong Youde will rescue first? ”
Tianlang said decisively:
"He won't save anyone, giggles, Shangzhu Kingdom, this is not a matter of choosing one or the other at all, the reason why I dare to divide troops with Li Dingguo to attack Huguang is that I saw through the appearance of the Sanshun kings.
The second-way attack is not to make Kong Youde difficult at all, but will prompt him to ignore it. ”
"Oh?" Qin Liangyu was noncommittal.
Tianlang sneered and said: "King Sanshun seems to be the righteous grandson of Mao Shuai, which can be described as the same spirit, but speaking of which, Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu died at the hands of Shang Kexi back then.
It's just that this hatred has been buried in the hearts of some people.
Therefore, Kong Youde took Shang Kexi as his only choice, if our army set foot in Huguang and attacked Yongzhou, Shang Kexi might go to support Geng Zhongming.
Because he may be really good to Geng Zhongming and make up for what he did to the Geng family when he was a general of the Ming army.
But on the other hand, Geng Zhongming will never come to support Shang Kexi, because on the surface, he and Geng Zhongming are both captive eagle dogs, and they are considered comrades-in-arms, but in fact, he still has a personal vendetta that has not been avenged.
Besides, Kong Youde, I really know him very well.
As for this person, only greed and ruthlessness can be evaluated, and if you want to further explain his personality, it is murderous, spending, and lustful.
Monk Geng Zhongming is happy with him, he can not talk about both glory and glory, let alone loss and loss, he only loves gold, silver and beauty.
Not even Juelu had any temptation for him, Juelu was just a tool for him to restrain gold, silver, and beauty. ”
Tianlang is obviously talking about Hong Youde, not Kong Youde, for Hong Youde, the prince of the Qing Dynasty can neither eat nor drink, and he has to be willing to be a pawn for others, Hong Youde, I don't know why the rebellion of the three feudatories started, and what was the final result, right?
Hong Youde must understand the truth of rabbit and dead dog cooking, will he continue to be obsessed with the title?
Tianlang said: "So in his heart, he wishes that King Sanshun would become King Yishun, and Monk Geng Zhongming would be happy, so that he could collect their gold, silver and women."
Not to mention Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, even Dolgon can't raise him as a white-eyed wolf, as long as he has saved enough capital to show his fangs, he will never have any psychological burden on Dolgon's backbite. ”
Qin Liangyu did not show shock at Tianlang's words, but a kind of relief after the teacher heard the best answer from his beloved apprentice.
It turned out that Banzai really saw this, and the minister had been analyzing the battle reports and intelligence in his hands on the road, and found that Kong Youde's arrangement in Huguang was a little strange.
Throughout after King Sanshun came to Huguang and before they were beaten by Banzai in Quanzhou, the minister found that Kong Youde had always looked down on Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi very closely.
He treats them as if they were his little brothers, except for the time when he had to deal with Liu Chengyin and let the two go solo, he almost never let go.
But this time, the two vast areas of Dongting Lake in the east and west were handed over to these two people. ”
"Shangzhuguo is right, Kong Youde, he has always been at the forefront when he robbed money, and he was still the same when he escaped, he was the best at these small calculations, and he was afraid of being beaten, so he waited for the two younger brothers in front, hehe, but unfortunately he still miscalculated a move.
He thought that our army would inevitably focus on the direction of Yongzhou and Hengzhou.
Geng Zhongming was beaten, and Shang Kexi was naturally pushed out by him to fill the pit, and he has been watching from the wall in Wuchang, hehe, it's a pity, he still underestimated the strength of our army today. ”
"Long live is right, Kong Youde miscalculated, but it seems that Shang Kexi definitely did not underestimate the strength of our army, you see that since we captured Yuanling County, there has not been a single spy of the Qing army on the official road, only the spies of my Jinyiwei come and go."
"What Shangzhuguo means is that Shang Kexi deliberately put the fact that Changde's defense is weak on the surface, and let Jinyiwei's spies frequently report back and induce our army to speed up the attack on Changde, while he is ambushed in a dark corner, waiting to give us the most fatal blow."
Qin Liangyu nodded: "Judging from the fact that we have just used Shang Kexi's military habits and the feasibility of reversing the battle from his point of view, Geng Zhongming has no leisure to rescue him, and Kong Youde can't want to save him at all."
So how could he sit in Changde and wait for death? What's more, on the road from Yuanling County to Changde, it was too quiet, and Shang Kexi was scheming, in the face of our army's offensive line, how could he open the door and not make a little arrangement? ”
"So what does Shangzhuguo mean?"
"The minister thinks that after passing the White Tiller Mountain, our army should set up camp in Daqinglang and no longer cross the stream for the time being."
Tianlang rubbed his chin and pondered, and after a while, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Shangzhu Country's cautious use of troops is right, but if you are still happy, where are you most likely to put the ambush soldiers?" ”
"If it is a minister, he will definitely put the ambush in that place."
