Chapter 12 The situation in the world is in the palm of your hand

"Luo Dai, go back." Luo Rucai said: "There will be a time when you will be useful, but not now." ”

Luo Dai said: "Palm plate, uncle, we came to Shouzhou City, and we didn't attack the city at all, what do you think again?" ”

Luo Dai's question not only asked Luo Dai's doubts, but also asked the doubts of many people under Cao Ying's command, everyone looked at Luo Rucai, wanting to hear what Luo Rucai had to say?

"Why, I feel lonely and confused." Luo Rucai's eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of essence flashed, his eyes flashed, and no one dared to look at Luo Rucai. Luo Rucai said: "Do whatever you want." Liu Rugui, you continue tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison. Then they dispersed.

Luo Rucai left Luo Yulong and Zhang Zhen behind, he leaned on the tiger skin chair, and the long tiger hair buried most of Luo Rucai's body in it, and said: "Yulong, you don't seem to understand, why did I stop here?" ”

"Yes." Luo Yulong said: "I really can't figure out the deep meaning of my father. ”

Luo Rucai secretly said in his heart: "I didn't learn anything else about this part of Yulong, but I learned to calm down." "If it had been placed before, Luo Yulong would have been the first to ask this question. There was a little progress, Luo Rucai said: "Mr. Zhang, is it Zhang Xuan's handiwork that you made a plan to go down the river and reach the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

When Zhang Zhen heard this, his heart moved, and he said: "Exactly, but I don't know what the problem is?" ”

Luo Rucai smiled faintly and said: "It's a good plan, a good plan on paper, but I don't know that the strength of the army is like water, it changes with the times, and it changes with the situation." For example, because Zuo Liangyu was in Jiujiang and Anqing, he planned a large army to cross the river from Yangzhou, but he didn't want the official army to take a boat, from upstream to downstream, how fast, thousands of miles of Jiangling would be returned in one day. Zuo Liangyu is in Jiujiang and Yu is in Yangzhou, and the difference is only one or two days. If you are a little slow, you will be blocked in Yangzhou, and if you want to cross the river at that time, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

If Zhang Xuan was here, he would definitely be in a cold sweat.

The reason why Zhang Xuan made this plan was that the Qing army would definitely go to the south of the Yangtze River, almost very easily, and naturally felt that he could replicate the original achievements of the Qing army, but he didn't know that the times were different, and it could be used at that time, but not now.

At that time, there was an important factor in Nanjing under Duoduo, that is, Zuo Liangyu's army went south, and Huang Degong was transferred to fight Zuo Liangyu. Jiangbei's troops were almost empty, and with this big gap, the Qing army naturally drove straight in. It is not so much that the Qing army captured Jiangnan, but that Nanming opened the door to thieves.

Luo Rucai didn't know that this period of history would happen in the future, but with his keen strategic vision, he could see that Zhang Xuan's plan would not work, and at this moment, the various departments of the official army may have selfish intentions, but they have not yet reached the point where water and fire are incompatible. And Nanjing is so important, once Luo Rucai's army goes south, Zuo Liangyu will definitely come to help.

In particular, Zuo Liangyu has a close relationship with the Donglin Party, and the speed of this return will be quite fast.

Zhang Zhen didn't know the art of war, but after listening to Luo Rucai's words, he said, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

"Slow advance, quick decision, quick attack." Luo Rucai said. He said as he looked at Luo Yulong. Seeing that Luo Yulong listened carefully, he continued: "I heard that for big things, if you don't plan anything, you can't do anything? ”

As a result, I forgot to read the words for a while.

"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Zhang Zhen said immediately.

"Yes, those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Luo Rucai said: "The matter of going down to the south of the Yangtze River should be seen farther, Huanghu has conquered Wuchang, I heard that the emperor Xiao'er has issued edicts again and again, let Zuo Liangyu march, why didn't Zuo Liangyu enter?" ”

"Jade Dragon, you?" Luo Rucai asked.

"This ----," Luo Yulong muttered, he didn't know where to start.

"Do you think Zuo Liangyu can beat the Yellow Tiger?" Luo Rucai led him to ask.

"Probably so." Luo Yulong was still very keen on the battle, and said: "Zhu Xianzhen was defeated, and Zuo Liangyu suffered heavy losses, but after that, he would rather abandon Xiangyang and Wuchang than fight with me." It's been more than a year now. Zuo Liangyu should have recovered a lot of combat strength, and before Huang Hu, he was also defeated by Huang Degong, and once wanted to defect to us, and later attached himself to the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, but the loss of the old foundation was too great. I heard that now in the army of the king of Huanghuxi, he is divided into two parts, one is the old army, and the other is the surrendered army. I'm afraid it can't match Zuo Liangyu. The reason why Huang Hu captured Wuchang was just to pick up a ready-made bargain. ”

When Luo Rucai heard that Luo Yulong was going to join the camp with Cao Ying, he said that we were a little uncomfortable, but he didn't care much.

"Then why didn't Zuo Liangyu go west?" Luo Rucai asked.

"He is not afraid of Huang Hu, he is afraid of Li Chuang." Luo Yulong said: "I'm afraid Zuo Liangyu feels that his army is not enough to compete with Li Chuang. ”

"And what is he waiting for?" Luo Rucai said.

"Wait ----" Luo Yulong scratched his head a little, he didn't feel that Zuo Liangyu was waiting for anything.

Zhang Zhen's eyes flickered, he was much smarter than Luo Yulong, he had already thought of the answer at this moment, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm afraid I underestimated Luo Rucai, even Zhang Xuan is not as old as Luo Rucai." ”

"Will Li Zicheng always be in Xiangyang?" Luo Rucai asked.

"No, Sun Chuanting is about to be out of the customs." Luo Yulong said meaningfully, and then he reacted and said, "Zuo Liangyu is waiting for Li Zicheng to go north." ”

"Yes. Zuo Liangyu is a slippery head. Luo Rucai said with a little disdain: "I just want to eat meat, I don't want to gnaw bones." ”

Zhang Zhen secretly said in his heart: "Sun Gong is really difficult, no wonder there is such a person urging Sun Gong to get out." There are too many people looking forward to Sun Gong's exit. ”

"Still, if we don't go too far." Luo Rucai said: "If we threaten Fengyang, maybe we will attract Zuo Liangyu, if we expose our thoughts of going to Jiangnan in advance, Zuo Liangyu may not leave." So wait, slow down. ”

"Then what if Li Chuang passes on the fact that we want to attack Jiangnan to the official army?" Luo Yulong blurted out.

"The government is so easy to believe Li Chuang's words, won't it think that Li Chuang has another conspiracy?" Luo Rucai said: "For example, let Zuo Liangyu go north and keep the territory of the camp in Huguang." ”

When Li Zicheng's army went north, it was inevitable that he would face an emptiness of troops in the Huguang area. Zuo Liangyu waited for this time.

"So before Zuo Liangyu marches westward, or before Sun Chuanting and Chuang Ying start a war, we have to slow down and wait. Be patient and don't be in a hurry. Luo Rucai said.

"So what is a quick fix? Rush? Luo Yulong asked.

"Zhang Xuan still has some vision, we must clean up the Jiangbei official army, otherwise when the time comes, we will have to fight a big battle to annihilate Huang Degong and most of the troops under the command of Fengdu Huaidu, at least they will not have time to intervene in us. However, the battle was fought quickly and ended in a few days. At that time, the main army went south. crossed the river several ways, even if Zuo Liangyu knew about it in Wuchang, it was too late to come back to help. But when we get to Jiangnan, the first thing we have to deal with is Zuo Liangyu. Luo Rucai said slowly.

"Father, I know how to do it." Luo Yulong said.

Luo Rucai said: "Mr. Zhang." ”

"The minister is here." Zhang Zhen said.

Luo Rucai said: "Send someone to pass these words to my unsuccessful son-in-law." ”

"Yes, I understand." Zhang Zhen said immediately.

Luo Rucai was a little tired and said, "I'm tired, you guys go down." ”

Luo Yulong and Zhang Zhen immediately saluted and retreated. Luo Rucai listened to the horn from afar, felt a faint pain in his abdomen, and touched it hard, only to feel a lump getting bigger and bigger.

"How long can I live, can I support the child Yulong to lay a piece of the world?" Luo Rucai asked himself.

He gritted his teeth and sat up straight, and said secretly in his heart: "If I don't defeat Jiangnan and settle the jade dragon, how dare I die, how can I die." God borrowed me ten years, and I let the world see who killed the deer. ”

It is not only Zhang Xuan, Cao Zongyu, but also Luo Rucai who has made progress.

Zhang Xuan told Luo Rucai history every day, about the rise and fall of the past dynasties, and later after Zhang Xuan left, Luo Rucai never stopped, and after going through life and death, Luo Rucai had a little enlightenment, and this vision was by no means owned by Luo Rucai in history.
