Chapter 42: The Decisive Battle of the Book

Zhang Xuan said as he swept his gaze towards the generals.

Now not only the generals of Zhang Xuan's department are here, but Cao Zongyu has also brought several generals here.

In this big war, the two armies naturally linked.

This time, the total number of soldiers on both sides exceeded 150,000, and I am afraid that it is also one of the strategic decisive battles that will determine the situation in Hunan.

There won't be too many battles of this scale. I can't afford to fight too much.

In fact, at this point, Zhang Xuan's heart has relaxed. For tomorrow's war, I already have a bottom in my heart.

There is a saying that kung fu is outside the poem. And the same is true of war, the factors that really affect the victory or defeat of the war are all before the war.

Zhang Xuan started the battle of Dongting Lake, and most of the actions of the Ming army were in Zhang Xuan's calculations, just like fishing, the fish had already bitten the hook. Zhang Xuan relaxed and tightened, and slipped away for a long time.

Now it's time to lift the hook.

Unless Li Guo plays against the sky tomorrow and can turn the tables against the wind, he has already won three points in this battle, and he has also won five points in the entire battle.

"What is there to say?" Luo Dai muttered: "It's all come to this point, just start fighting, what else do you say?" ”

Although Luo Dai muttered, his loud voice was not small at all, and everyone heard it clearly. Almost everyone's attention was drawn to it. Luo Dai was also a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and stopped talking.

"General, what General Luo said is not unreasonable." Cao Zongyu said: "Now the situation is only a war. All you need to do is arrange your troops to fight tomorrow. ”

"What General Cao said is extremely true, he only owes a war." Deng He said: "When it comes to the end, there is no need to think about it. ”

For a moment, several people spoke.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Okay." Early tomorrow morning, we will go to war. Cao Yinglao led your headquarters to attack from the north. I led people to attack from the south, and the two flanking attacks will definitely break the Ming army. ”

"Please rest assured, General." Cao Zongyu said: "In the battle tomorrow, I will definitely let the thieves dare not look south." ”

Zhang Xuan immediately discussed specific matters in detail, such as the position of the battalion, artillery, and cavalry. In general, Zhang Xuan still arranged a formation that was both offensive and defensive, and he was still invincible first. And then for the winning idea.

After Zhang Xuan arranged all this, he said: "There is one more thing, I don't know who is willing to ask for life, that is, to go to the loyalty camp to give a war letter. ”

Zhang Xuan is already ready to defeat the loyal battalion with a dignified and upright formation, and naturally the more upright the better. This momentum is about to be built. Of course, Zhang Xuan may not have other ideas. Since Ma Guangyu defected to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan has always taken the plan to heart to heart.

Whether it is the root knot between the Loyalty Battalion and the Ming Army, or the inside of the Loyalty Battalion, there are too many places within the Ming Army that can be used. Although Zhang Xuan didn't expect the heart attack plan to come in handy, he didn't mind planting a few seeds of doubt.

The lower limit of this messenger's actions is very low, and as long as the word is transmitted, it can also be regarded as a messenger. But the ceiling is also very high, and you can do anything to sow discord and persuade the enemy army to surrender. It's just that Zhang Xuan knows a lot about the soldiers under his command.

It's okay for him to carry a knife and cut people. But let him be such a delicate fellow, but few people can afford it.

"General, please ask for your life." Zheng Lian said.

"You -----" Zhang Xuan looked at Zheng Lian, his heart moved slightly, and he felt that Zheng Lian was a good choice.

Zheng Lian has been by Zhang Xuan's side for several years, and it can be said that he has grown up with Zhang Xuan all the way, and has been in contact with all aspects of Zhang Xuan's army, and he has done well. By no means a nerd can describe it. Zheng Lian is a messenger, at least don't worry, he is so hard that he offends Li Guo and can't come back.

Zheng Lian was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and quietly listened to Zhang Xuan's decision.

Zheng Lian actually has his own thoughts in his heart. He has been following Zhang Xuan for a long time, and since he returned to Germany, he has been the scholar and staff member of Zhang Xuan's side. For so many years, watching Zhang Xuan come to this day step by step, he has been honored with Zhang Xuan, and he has been damaged.

Zhang Xuan is already a general, and it can be said that he is extremely rich. made Zheng Lian have to think about his future in his heart.

Zheng Lian can't be Zhang Xuan's staff for life. Although Zheng Lian followed Zhang Xuan's status to rise, in essence, he was not single-minded about promotion.

Any scholar has a heart to make contributions.

Therefore, he wanted to show his talent from other directions, so that Zhang Xuan could see it in his eyes and make other arrangements for him.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "You have to be careful. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Zheng Lian gritted his teeth lightly and said with excitement in his heart. Zhang Xuan sent Zheng Lian as a messenger, and after sending a war letter to the Ming army, Zhang Xuan blocked all the generals and told him to rest quickly, knowing that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow.

The distance from the Xia army camp to the Ming army camp is not too far, but after a while, Zheng Lian came to the front of the Ming army camp, he didn't say anything, he was already caught by the Ming army's scouts, and after asking, he pressed Zheng Lian over to see Li Guo.

After Li Guo got the news, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Invite Master Ma over." ”

"Yes." Someone immediately agreed.

But in a few moments, Ma Luan came. Li Guo greeted him and said, "The thief has a messenger coming, and I specially invite the adults to come here to meet the thief's messenger." ”

Ma Luan listened and said, "Oh, I want to see what the thieves have in mind. ”

Li Guo said, "Bring him here." ”

"Yes."

Zheng Lian was almost thrown out, and he staggered to stand in the middle of the big tent, and in the middle of the big tent was a bonfire, and the blazing bonfire illuminated all the surroundings. It's just that it's also dyed with a layer of magnificent red, and it can't stop swaying.

Zheng Lian's gaze swept over Li Guo and Ma Luan, and suddenly his eyes were certain, and he said to Li Guo: "Meet His Royal Highness King Shun." ”

Li Guo's eyes shrank slightly when he heard this, and he said secretly: "It's really troublesome." ”

Zheng Lian's tricks, Li Guo can hear it with one ear, King Shun is the title given to him by the Xia Dynasty, and in the current situation, he will not admit it, Zheng Lian said this at the moment, I am afraid it is to drive a wedge between the various armies.

But Zheng Lian also has to deal with it well. For no other reason, Ma Luan is here.

As far as his original intention was concerned, he was reluctant to talk about everything before Ma Luan, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Lian said loudly: "The general has admired General Li for a long time. I couldn't bear to see General Li go astray, so that he spent the rest of his life wandering. Now the general led his troops south, first broke through Dongting Lake, then broke Xiangyin, surrounded Changsha, the momentum was like a bamboo, tired of His Royal Highness King Shun running thousands of miles, so that this, King Shun is a person who understands, the calculation of victory and defeat, how many points, already knows. ”

"Your Majesty is magnanimous today, and has never removed the title of King Shun, no matter what King Shun does, his heart can be described as -----"

"Shut up." Li Guo almost drew his sword and said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Zheng Lian said: "Every sentence of the lower officials is for General Li's consideration, and there is no nonsense. ”

Li Guo's eyes shrank slightly, his hand pressed on the long sword, and with murderous intent in his tone, he said, "I'll ask again, what did Zhang Xuan send someone to do." ”

At this moment, Li Guo didn't have any thoughts, and he played dumb riddles with Zheng Lian.

In today's battle between Li Guo's department and Luo Dai's department, although the victory and defeat have not been completely separated, hundreds of his horsemen have been defeated by Luo Dai, and two small villages have been captured. Even Li Guo still had the intention of fighting back, but he was suppressed by Luo Dai.

Li Guo even wanted to fight a decisive battle in advance and attack Zhang Xuan's department in a big way, but it was a little better, but Luo Dai was eyeing him on one side, and the military discipline of the loyal battalion was not very good. So Li Guo hesitated for a moment and gave up on continuing to fight today.

Zheng Lian didn't dare to slack off, and said: "For King Shun's war letter, early tomorrow morning, no matter what King Shun does, the army will be dispatched, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to protect his life, and his head will be in a different place, don't say anything unpredictable." ”

Li Guo laughed when he heard this. Li Guo is also a person who has rolled on the battlefield, and he has seen a lot in his life. I don't care about a little bit of fame. said: "You're not afraid of death? ”
