Chapter Twenty-Nine: Plans Change
Shang Yu shook his head, but he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and said: "There is indeed a Mongol, and after the defeat in the capital first, there was a person who met us in the cellar of a small shop on the outskirts of the capital. This person reported to Yu Qian all the movements of the Mongolian ghosts and witches, but the man was masked, and his voice was deliberately contrived, and I couldn't recognize who that person was. However, his arms are broad, and he is not tall in stature. ”
"It seems that this person is getting in the way, and my plan to suppress the border with the troops in Northern Xinjiang seems to have failed, and Yu Qian has taken my army again." Lu Yunzhi said meaningfully. His voice paused for a while, and then instructed Dong De: "Dong De, you go to Jiujiang Mansion to see Zhu Jianwen quickly, and then explain the current situation, let Zhu Jianwen start acting immediately, and then go to Nanjing with Ah Rong to arrange relevant matters." We'll meet in Bazhou later, so without further ado, you'll leave now. ”
Dong De replied with his fists in a fist, flew over and flipped on, one of the four horses tied to the outside of the pavilion and walked away. "Bazhou." Shang Yu thought thoughtfully. Lu Yunzhi pointed to the horses outside the grass pavilion and said: "There is one horse left for you in Shang Yu, the coiled dry food is ready, you can rush back to the capital quickly, don't let Yu Qian be suspicious." Shang Delirium, isn't this place in Bazhou very familiar, we fought the first counterattack in Bazhou back then, but after Yu Qian's heavy troops approached, we failed and fled, so we went to Jiujiang Mansion. To this day, two months later, I will launch an attack on Beijing in Bazhou, and I will be ashamed. ”
Shang Yu laughed embarrassedly, once upon a time, it was Shang Yu and others who chased Lu Yunzhi and Fang Qingze to Bazhou City. Lu Yunzhi also smiled and said, "Go quickly, there will be a period later, Shang Yu." When it is time to slash the enemy, let us unravel all enmity with wine and joy. Shang Yu clenched his fists and said, "My lord, Shang Yu has retired." As he spoke, he went out and untied the reins, and got on his horse instead.
Lu Yunzhi looked at Bai Yong beside him and asked, "Now there are only two brothers left, Bai Yong, if you don't attack Bazhou, you are sure that you will directly attack the capital." Bai Yong thought for a while and replied: "I think I am seventy percent sure, Beijing's city defense is extremely strong, and what Shang Yu said just now is that some people from heaven and earth have defected to Yu Qian, so it will naturally be more difficult to attack the city." The most important thing is that even if the capital sends more troops to support the northwest, there are still a large number of troops to defend the capital after the threat of ghosts and witches in the north is lifted, not to mention the five army camps and reserve troops of the rotational defense. So I think that if we run to the capital overnight, I am seventy percent sure that we will be able to succeed. ”
"You've improved, and you're not as arrogant as you used to be." Lu Yunzhi praised, Bai Yong's face was happy, and Lu Yunzhi changed his words and said: "However, if you want me to say that we are not sure of it now." ”
Bai Yong was shocked and asked, "Why did the lord say this?" Lu Yunzhi said: "Our original plan was to attack the capital directly, and go straight to Huanglong to capture the capital with lightning speed. But now you say why do I want to conquer Bazhou first and then plot for the future? It is precisely because of our grasp or chance of winning that we are very small now, Yu Qian is worthy of Yu Qian, and he is really powerful. You also said just now that the situation in the northern frontier is completely destroyed, so that the original defenders in the northern frontier are enough, not to mention sending troops to rescue. With such strength, it is difficult for us to take the capital, and we will be surrounded by the defenders who came to increase the number of troops. ”
"If you are Yu Qian, you have mastered more than a thousand heaven and earth people, although the strength of these heaven and earth people is uneven, but it is also much more powerful than ordinary sergeants. In this case, what will you do, entrenched in the capital or attack the enemy? Lu Yunzhi asked Bai Yong.
Bai Yong frowned for a moment and replied, "If it were me, I would definitely divide these people into two groups." "Tell me about it." Lu Yunzhi said with interest.
"Among the thousands, there must be those with higher strength and those with weaker abilities, and the weaker ones are used to defend the capital and key checkpoints, and with the help of favorable conditions such as the terrain of the city wall, even if their ability is weak, they will block the enemy army. Although the number of stronger people is reduced, the movement is also faster and the number of military supplies is smaller, which is conducive to interspersing the whole territory with large movements. Zhu Jianwen guided the vassal kings from all over the country, and now the shop bandits from all over the country began to rebel under Fang Qingze's instructions, and the vassal kings from all over the country asked the court for help with troops, Yu Qian naturally knew their thoughts, and he couldn't give them soldiers in case they took away the military power. But if the vassal king is allowed to recruit troops and suppress bandits by himself, it is understandable, if he sends a traitorous Tiandi people to attack the vassal king at this time, he will definitely be accused of plotting against the world in a bad way, which is equivalent to adding a fire to the banner on the side of the Qing monarch, I don't think Yu Qian will do this. Therefore, although Zhu Jianwen's Qinwang army is not strong, there is no danger. At the same time, General Qu led a large number of strong soldiers and generals, but the problem is that General Qu has not launched an attack yet, and he is in Annan, and rashly attacking General Qu is tantamount to declaring war with Annan, so Yu Qian will not fight. Bai Yong explained.
Lu Yunzhi nodded approvingly while pouring tea for Bai Yong, Bai Yong took it with both hands, moistened his throat with a slight smile and continued: "And we are marching very fast, the location is uncertain, they can't find us if they want to, and I think Yu Qian may not even know that our Qi Master has joined, even so, the army you originally formed is strong. In short, Yu Qian couldn't figure out the situation of our team and couldn't send someone to stop it. Therefore, the only team with a clear location, relatively weak strength, and no action under the banner of justice is only the mercenary led by the second brother of the lord and the second master, Fang Qingze. Therefore, if it were me, I would definitely hit Fang Qingze first. ”
"Well said!" Lu Yunzhi clapped his hands and shouted, "There are no fools in the world, you are not stupid, I am not stupid, Yu Qian is not stupid, and the Miao Gu vein master Tan Qing he assigned is not a fool." "So what's your plan?" Bai Yong was a little puzzled.
"My second brother Fang Qingze's side not only has mercenaries and my uncle Chao Xing, but also the ghost eaters led by leopards, these ghost eaters are not bad, not much worse than your qi masters, and what is even more commendable is that they also have ways to deal with ghosts. As you assume, Yu Qian will attack the northwest, break up one side's forces, and gradually break through from weak to strong. I'm a little worried about the second brother, but I believe that he will be fine, with the leopard and the ghost eater, even if those people gather elites of several veins, they will not take much advantage. Tan Qing will not die with the second brother Leopard and others in the northwest, so there is no benefit to them at all, and what they want is nothing more than self-preservation. I'll find her as soon as I can, talk to her, and maybe find a breakthrough. Lu Yunzhi said confidently.
