"When the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, Zhu Jianwen will choose to besiege the city after all, and then send people to investigate the situation of the rest of the plundered cities." Zhen Lingdan talked about his overall plan, the tent was silent, everyone looked at Zhen Lingdan with almost admiration, this person is a general, looking at the overall situation, Zhu Jianwen's army is like a prey to lure into the trap layer by layer, needless to say, this strategy will definitely succeed,

Zhen Lingdan smiled slightly, the generals are very energetic, this is very good, if the heart is scattered and everything is over, his speech is not only to arrange the battle situation, but also to encourage the soldiers: "Zhu Jianwen investigated, you will find that most of the cities we have captured are not guarded by too many soldiers, so the Ming army will first pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and occupy some advantageous places, after all, the siege of the city alone is not a long-term solution, and the supply of logistics and military supplies is still very critical, they will capture the city we have won bloodily, don't feel distressed, They will spit it out with interest, and if necessary, we can give it to Loudi, a strategic place. ”

"When they take down these cities, they will find that in the west of these cities, some of the places occupied by us are more loosely guarded, almost without soldiers, such a good credit, Zhu Jianwen and other politicians will not give up, he will definitely seize a large area in the west and south, and don't want to encircle our army, use the city to surround Yueyang, and surround us to death, but in this way, he dispersed most of the soldiers and horses, because after occupying the city, there must be corresponding city defense soldiers, as well as maintain local law and order, etc., Our goal of consuming their forces has been achieved, but it is still not a good time to attack them at this moment, we give up the dead defense of Yueyang, and then march in two ways, and attack Hankou and other places by water, if we encounter obstacles to the northern front, the generals will see the opportunity to act, even if we abandon Xiangyang and Jingzhou, we must give up full support, after occupying Hankou, and then attack Zhu Jianwen's nest and Jiujiang Mansion along the waterway. Zhen Lingdan poked Jiujiang hard, this is his purpose, smashing Huanglong, drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle,

The generals' eyes lit up, Zhen Lingdan swallowed his saliva, moistened his throat that was gradually drying up, and said: "The other line of soldiers and horses on the southern line rushed to Jiujiang by land, and the cities fought along the way did not leave a single soldier, taking Jiujiang was equivalent to giving Zhu Jianwen a fatal blow, slaughtering the city, burning the ground, and capturing his family, in short, it made him confused, and there was no foundation, if Zhu Jianwen didn't defend himself, it would be impossible, he was just a politician and not a loyal minister, so he would naturally value the lives of his family more, and his falling out with Lu Yunzhi was not also for his father." , Of course, there is also a certain amount of selfishness, in this case, he has a large number of troops invested in the recaptured city, the battle line is extremely long, even when he arrives at Jiujiang, he is exhausted, we will fight to the death at this time, we will be able to win a big victory, and then we are on top of the army, along the way to pursue and kill them, and then turn to capture the entire Hubei, Zhu Jianwen is too busy to take care of himself, he will not attack rashly, we occupy Hubei with lightning speed, and use the recruits recruited by the northern line to exchange their lives for their lives and the defenders of Zhu Jianwen in Hunan, They do not seek to occupy territory, but to destroy their forces. ”

"In this way, when Lu Yunzhi and other reinforcements from the capital arrived, Zhu Jianwen's army and the soldiers and horses of the two lakes have been wiped out by us, even if Lu Yunzhi comes, we may also have the strength to fight with it, as for the arrangement of troops at that time, we still need to look at the other party's actions to judge, but we have already occupied the advantage, we can induce the enemy, and we will lead the nose away, in short, we will win the battle before Lu Yunzhi comes, we will conquer, defend and defend, and our soldiers will be mighty." Zhen Lingdan is old, but the voice she roars out is also majestic,

The generals followed and clasped their fists together and shouted: "The battle will be won, the attack must be overcome, and the defense must be strong." Zhen Lingdan nodded and sighed: "Morale is available." ”

As Zhen Lingdan expected, Zhu Jianwen's troops quickly assembled and entered the territory of the two lakes, speaking of marching and fighting, maybe Zhu Jianwen is not a genius, he only understands the ordinary art of war and the principle of step-by-step, but under the steady and steady battle, it shows the advantage of the troops, but when it comes to administrative ability, Zhu Jianwen is indeed a good hand, not only in Jiangxi mobilized properly, quickly pulled up tens of thousands of troops, the speed is jaw-dropping, and when he comes to the unfamiliar two lakes, he can also collect the military power in the hands of everyone for his own use, None of the subordinates led by him did not obey orders, which really made Zhen Lingdan and others rush to the generation of pressure.

The good news kept coming, the towns conquered one after another, and many bloodless battles, made the imperial army's army confident and no longer afraid of Zhen Lingdan's troops, at this time, Lu Yunzhi led his troops on the road, and when he saw the military newspaper, he frowned, and said to himself: "It's not right, this battle is a little too simple, Zhen Lingdan won't let Zhu Jianwen swallow it so quickly, even if he swallows, he will be pricked with blood, it's not good, he is greedy for merit, it may be a plan, where is Bai Yong." ”

Bai Yong rode his horse to Lu Yunzhi's car and hugged his fist and said, "The last will be." ”

"You rate a cavalry, go straight to the two lakes with light equipment, and after seeing Zhu Jianwen, remind him that it is not easy to stretch the battle line too long, disperse the troops, if you encounter a city where a large number of enemy troops gather, you must strictly investigate to prevent them from attacking or rushing at night, don't act recklessly when you encounter something, remember to give me a war report." Lu Yunzhi said, then reached out and patted Bai Yong's shoulder, muttering, "Be careful Bai Yong." ”

"The last general is ordered, hehe, don't worry, lord, I won't let your sister be widowed." Bai Yong grinned and rode away, Lu Yunzhi looked at his back and said with a smile: "This stinky boy." ”

When Bai Yong arrived in Hubei, it was too late, Zhen Lingdan's army had set off from Yueyang in several ways according to the original plan, and quickly advanced directly to Jiujiang, but after arriving in Jiujiang, he found that Zhu Jianwen had already taken precautions, although there were not many soldiers left in the city, but the city gate was closed, and if you wanted to enter the city, you must have the customs document promulgated by Zhu Jianwen, and there were also artillery crossbow machines on the city wall to wait, in short, Zhen Lingdan could not eat Jiujiang quickly, but if there was too much delay under Jiujiang City, Zhu Jianwen would have time to slowly gather troops, Attack calmly, in this way, Zhen Lingdan's later arrangements will be disrupted,

Zhen Lingdan didn't have much time, all he had was about two days, and he couldn't take Jiujiang within two days, and the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao at the bottom of the kettle failed, and the consequences were even more serious, he was passive, and he would be surrounded by Zhu Jianwen's army, and the Jiujiang Mansion in the center cooperated and blossomed from it, then Zhen Lingdan could be said to be a back-and-back enemy, and he would definitely be defeated.
