Chapter 63: Luo's Father and Son

200,000 people is a concept?

First of all, 200,000 people marched, and the troops must divide the road, otherwise the number of people has exceeded the carrying capacity of the road, if you have to take a road, it will inevitably stretch for dozens of miles, and after the attack, the end and end cannot be connected.

Secondly, with so many people above the command level, the commander cannot intervene in a specific battle, and sometimes he can only judge the situation on the front line from various intelligence. Therefore, in a certain sense, what is more demanding of the commander in chief is the judgment of the strategic state of affairs and the handling of military affairs. And not between the two armies.

This task is for the generals alone, not the commanders.

Requirements for handsome talents.

It is to ensure the smooth march of the army, the smooth flow of logistics, the maintenance of the morale of the army, and the decisive battle of the army with the enemy when the strategic situation is favorable to us.

As for the gains and losses of a specific battle, it doesn't matter.

And Zhang Xuan's victory over Luo Yulong is this.

Zhang Xuan's decisive battle and demand victory is not Zhang Xuan's strong point. And from a strategic perspective, in the entire Cao Ying, there are not many people who can surpass Zhang Xuan, and he may not be as good as Zhang Zhen in terms of specific organizational ability, but he is not a beginner. Logistics is also considered an expert.

Therefore, he could not hide all kinds of malpractices in the army's logistics.

As for adjusting the contradictions of each general and other things, Zhang Xuan also has to be better than Luo Yulong.

200,000 people can be said to be the absolute main force of Cao Ying, if this one is defeated, then Zuo Liangyu will not chase after him. Cao Ying may not be able to launch an attack outside in the next year or two.

"You go and tell the Jade Dragon." Luo Rucai stood with his hands in his hands and said: "Let him not worry about my body, the matter of the Western Expedition must be done, let him manage Jiangnan well, and raise enough military funds for the army." ”

Zhang Xuan wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

After he thought about it carefully, it was absolute, Luo Rucai led his troops to the west, which seemed to be the best choice for Cao Ying, after all, the ability to command an army of two or three hundred thousand was not only Luo Yulong, but also in the hands of anyone in Cao Ying, Zhang Xuan was not at ease.

Not to mention others.

In fact, there was a vague thought that flashed in Zhang Xuan's heart.

In troubled times, the army is not only an army, but also power. Commanding the main force of Cao Ying's troops is not only based on military capabilities. It depends on the rest.

As soon as Zhang Xuan left the palace, he was called over by Luo Yulong.

Luo Yulong asked Zhang Xuan and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"Shizi, the king has made up his mind, and there is nothing I can do?" Zhang Xuan said with a wry smile: "This 200,000 army, the king is not worried about others, and there are also them. ”

"Aren't you worried about me?" Luo Yulong snorted coldly and said. Then he also felt speechless and said, "You go."

Look at Yujiao. Depending on the situation, you won't be able to stay in Nanjing for a few days. I'm afraid I'm going to let you go to Fujian. ”

Zhang Xuan was slightly resentful in his heart, he was already a general, commanding tens of thousands of troops, Zheng Zhilong was important, but Luo Rucai's meaning made him communicate with Zheng Zhilong, but he didn't mean to let Zhang Xuan go to Fujian.

It must be known that Zhang Xuan is no longer a junior clerk at the beginning.

It's just that Luo Yulong didn't think it seemed inappropriate. It seems that in Luo Yulong's eyes, Zhang Xuan is still a nomad who defected to Cao Ying and didn't even ride a horse.

"Yes." Zhang Xuan said.

After Zhang Xuan left the Shizi Mansion, he turned over and got on the horse, and countless thoughts were churning in his heart. But I wasn't sure what was going on, and after seeing Luo Yujiao's lingering, I couldn't help but ask Luo Yujiao: "Is there something wrong between my father-in-law and my eldest brother?" ”

Luo Yujiao sighed slightly and said, "During this period of time, there has always been a conflict between my eldest brother and my father. The eldest brother said that Daddy, even though the generals are lawless. And Daddy said that the eldest brother believed in those poor sours too much. This law is lawless, and if you ignore it, you just need to know it, and it will be a detour to believe it too much. ”

Zhang Xuan listened and keenly noticed the words "the generals are lawless".

Are all Cao Ying's generals honest people? I'm sorry, Zhang Xuan observed, I'm afraid not. So even if the generals are lawless, I'm afraid there will be this thing, after all, these poor people in Shaanxi came to talk about the flower things in the south of the Yangtze River, and did some illegal things, and they are also cleaning up.

And Zhang Xuan also believed that Luo Yulong's plan was not just for the sake of the generals' lawlessness.

This is a struggle for power, without him, Qian Qianyi and others are Luo Yulong's people, and the entire civil official system is under Luo Yulong's management. And among the generals, it is not that there are no people who are not birds to Luo Yulong, even if Luo Rucai is a descendant like Zhang Xuan, do they really have to obey Luo Yulong's words and bow their heads?

Not necessarily.

"Big brother seems to be in a hurry." Luo Yujiao said softly.

"You can see that, too." Zhang Xuan said.

"It's all so obvious, how can I not see it." Luo Yujiao sighed softly and said, "I didn't expect my eldest brother and father to be like this? ”

"That's what power is." Zhang Xuan thought in his heart, and said in his mouth: "It's just a misunderstanding, and after a long time, it will be solved." ”

Zhang Xuan estimated that this change began when Luo Rucai felt that his body was getting better.

Before, Luo Rucai felt that he was about to die, so he desperately wanted to help Luo Yulong to the throne and suppress the old brother. But Luo Rucai's health has improved a lot, so he slowed down the intensity of his suppression of his old brother, after all, Luo Rucai is not a mean person.

His so-called suppression is just to let the old brothers go out one after another and hand over the central power to Luo Yulong.

And this slowdown, Luo Yulong was not satisfied in his heart.

Without him, Luo Yulong at this moment no longer represents him

Yourself. There are many people behind him, especially the civil officials headed by Qian Qianyi.

Luo Yulong's education level is not high, and he can't even compare to Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai was born as a bandit at any time, and he was also a serious student at the beginning, but Luo Yulong is different, he has followed Luo Rucai since he was a child, and his ability to fight is fought in one battle after another, but culturally, there is no teaching.

Qian Qianyi is the owner of the article, and he gets along with Luo Yulong day and night, and he can't fool Luo Yulong, that is for nothing.

Maybe Luo Yulong didn't believe it, but it didn't hinder the cooperation between the two parties.

For a while, Zhang Xuan had some hidden worries in his heart, he was worried that Luo Yulong was getting closer and closer to the former Donglin Party, and he didn't know where he would go in the future.

"What do you want to do that far?" Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "This matter is not urgent. The battle ahead is important. ”

"Has Dad's expedition to the west been decided?" Luo Yujiao said.

"Father-in-law has made up his mind, who can stop it?" Zhang Xuan said.

"I have good news for you." Luo Yujiao smiled slightly and said, "Daddy has promised me that as long as he goes on the expedition, he will take me with him." That way, we'll be able to be together. “

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he smiled bitterly again.

Seeing this, Luo Yujiao said, "What's wrong? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Even so, I'm afraid we can't be together, with the meaning of my father-in-law, this time the army of 200,000 troops, divided into three routes, all the way from Fengyang, Chuzhou, attacking Anqing, Luzhou, north of the Yangtze River, all the way to my father-in-law, leading General Yang Chengzu, General Zhang Yingyuan, and even Zheng Zhilong's water division, waterway parallel." There is also your husband and me, in Jiangxi, entangled with Fang Guoan. You must have followed your father-in-law all the way. ”

"Ah---" Luo Yujiao frowned and said, "That's it?" ”

"But don't worry, ma'am." Zhang Xuan hugged Luo Yujiao and said, "Your husband and I will do our best to take care of Fang Guoan first and meet my father-in-law in Jiujiang." We'll be together then. ”

"I wish we could be together day and night." Luo Yujiao said.

"Rest assured, after the world is peaceful, we will have time." Zhang Xuan said.

A night passed in a hurry, and early the next morning, Luo Rucai convened a court meeting, this time the six Shangshu, Zhang Yingyuan, Yang Chengzu, Li Rugui, and even Yuan Shizhong's representative, Zhang Pu were there.

Luo Rucai didn't dwell on it at all, and finalized the date for sending troops, which was in July, but Zhang Xuan's department was not among them, and his war in Jiangxi couldn't stop at all, and Zhang Xuan was also ordered by Luo Rucai to ask Zheng Zhilong's sailor to help.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, just asked Zheng Chenggong, who was beside Luo Rucai, to help.
