Chapter 371: The Ming Army Moves Westward (First Update!) )

"What!"

Everyone present exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time.

Tian Jianxiu calmed down a little and said, "Lord Futai, is this matter serious?" ”

In the old Shun army, the generals of the Shun army, Nakata Mihide is the oldest, and he can be regarded as the big brother.

It was only fitting that he would ask this question.

Wen Anzhi bowed slightly: "Of course, it's true, it's not a secret, Benfu also received His Majesty's holy decree to know that Dongyu had entered Kou Sichuan." ”

After that, Wen'an's rush arched his hand in the direction of Nanjing.

The generals gasped when they heard this.

They themselves were in Sichuan, and they didn't know that Dongyu had already entered the prison. His Majesty is far away in Nanjing, but he can anticipate things like a god, this is really heavenly and unfathomable.

Wen Anzhi continued: "Your Majesty's holy will is not what those of us who are courtiers should think about. But Benfu thought that His Majesty would not be satisfied with us and only guarding the eastern part of Sichuan. In the final analysis, Sichuan is also His Majesty's Sichuan. The people of Sichuan are also His Majesty's children. ”

Hearing this, all the generals turned red.

In the last years of Chongzhen, the world was full of displaced people.

Seeing that the country would not be a country, Emperor Chongzhen said the words "A thief is also a child".

In the end, it was the "bare" in his mouth who sent troops to fight Jingshi and forced Chongzhen to death.

Among the generals present, except for Yuan Zongdi, they had basically experienced the attack on Jingshi at the beginning, and when they heard Wen Anzhi say this, they instinctively thought of themselves.

In fact, Wen Anzhi does not have any metaphorical meaning, but simply wants to express that today's son has the world in mind and cares about all the people.

The speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener has a heart.

Wen Anzhi said this, which more or less made the generals feel that they were sarcastic.

"Ahem, Lord Futai, just say it, what do you need us to do, we must be duty-bound!"

Yuan Zongdi coughed to hide the embarrassment in his heart.

The rest of the generals also chimed in: "Yes, yes, as long as you say a word, Lord Governor, we will immediately obey the order!" ”

Wen Anzhi twisted his beard and said, "That's very good." It's not a secret, Benfu wants to take the initiative to attack and stop Dongyu! ”

Everyone has actually guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, waiting for Wen Anzhi's words.

"Don't worry, Governor! The Tartars dared to enter Kou Sichuan, and they were simply impatient. This time, I'm going to tell him to taste it! ”

Liu Fangliang patted his chest as a guarantee: "My lord, please be a pioneer." ”

During the Shun army period, Liu Fangliang was known for his combat bravery, and was often used by Li Zicheng as a vanguard to frustrate the enemy's spirit.

Of course, he invited himself to be a pioneer this time, and he also wanted to perform well in front of Wen Anzhi.

After all, he hasn't had too good a chance to perform since he returned to the Ming Court.

Wen Anzhi pondered for a moment and said, "General Liu, don't worry, Benfu must consider it holistically." We must seize the timing of this troop dispatch. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were enlightened. The Governor is right.

Nowadays, Sichuan is not only the Ming army and the Eastern captives. The combat effectiveness of the Western Army should not be underestimated.

Although the generals of the Shun army believed that they were the leaders of the peasant army in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Western Army could at least rank second.

The timing of the dispatch of troops in this case is really important.

If Wen Anzhi had sent troops early, it was likely that the Western Army and the Eastern Captives had not yet started fighting, and the situation would be very complicated and embarrassing.

However, if the troops are sent late, I am afraid that the western army has been completely defeated by the eastern captives, and Chengdu has already fallen into it.

Only the right appearance of Wen Anzhi can maximize the benefits.

Wen Anzhi glanced at the crowd: "According to the news obtained by Benfu, after crossing Daba Mountain, the Dongyu first broke through Baoning, and then attacked the west to take Weicheng, it seems that he wants to take Chengdu directly. Ben Fu decided to lead his troops closer to Chengdu and chose the opportunity to send troops to suppress the prisoners. ”

Everyone nodded.

Blitzkrieg is all about rhythm and timing.

When the enemy is not firmly established, the enemy often loses before he can react.

But if you drag down the rhythm, it doesn't have to be.

At that time, the two sides will set up a battle to attack, and whoever wins or loses may be possible.

The Qing army's long-distance attack was obviously to fight the Western Army, which had an unstable foothold.

Chengdu has not experienced a war for a long time, and it may not be able to survive a tough battle in the cold.

Chengdu is the center of Sichuan.

It is of great political significance to achieve Chengdu.

Dongyu wants to use Chengdu to order the whole Sichuan, and he is wishful thinking.

Of course, the Ming army will not let them succeed, and will definitely send troops to block it.

But as Wen Anzhi said just now, the Ming army must appear at the right time.

The best time was, of course, when the Qing army had just broken the city.

At this time, the Qing army's defense was the most lax, and the Ming army suddenly killed it and could wipe it out.

Of course, the Ming army did not have wings, and it was impossible for a divine soldier to descend from the sky. In order to do this, it is necessary to plan ahead and ambush the army near Chengdu.

In this way, you can send sentry cavalry to observe the battle situation throughout the whole process, and see the Qing army break through the city and then fight out to clean up the mess.

The plan is perfect and enticing, but there are still many details that need to be perfected before it can be implemented.

For the Ming army, although the opportunity is good, there is only one time, and if it is missed, it cannot be made up for at all.

Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu and other generals were all aroused by Wen Anzhi, and they all wanted to do a big job.

The best way to prove yourself is to make military achievements.

The generals were anxious to prove themselves, and of course they wanted to borrow the heads of the Eastern Prisoners.

"Ben Fu decided to send 50,000 troops this time, assisted by General Yuan, General Liu, and General Tian."

Wen Anzhi also knew very well what the generals wanted, and said without hesitation: "But Ben Fu has an ugly sentence to say in front. This time, the troops must not disturb the people, second, they must not move without permission, and third, they must not disobey orders. Violations of these three articles shall be punished in accordance with military law. Did you hear that? ”

"The last general obeys!"

Everyone clasped their fists in unison.

Wen Anzhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good." Benfu will give each of you a day to gather all the men and horses, and the army will start early tomorrow morning! ”

...

...

Zhang Dingguo received a reply.

Or rather, the Divine Decree.

His brother-in-law Zhang Kewang is still alive and has been proclaimed emperor, inheriting the throne of Emperor Daxi from his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Dingguo's mood is very complicated.

On the one hand, he was glad that his brother-in-law was still alive. But on the other hand, he was a little unwilling.

The righteous brother became the emperor like this, and he didn't even have the edict of his father-in-law to serve the public?

In terms of ability and prestige, Zhang Dingguo asked himself if he didn't lose to Zhang Kewang, not to mention that in this case, the righteous brother was in a hurry to become the emperor, so it seemed like he was doing it for him.

And the tone and tone of the righteous brother in the holy decree also made Zhang Dingguo feel a little difficult to accept.

He has just become the emperor, and the dragon chair is in a hurry to force him to bow down before it is hot?

Zhang Dingguo felt very uncomfortable.

But he didn't have a very good way or choice, because the generals in Chengdu must all support Zhang Kewang. Zhang Dingguo's opposition at this time would definitely split the Great Western Army.
