Li Zicheng has been paying attention to Yang Wenyue in Xihua County, but a message came from the Han Qing Bureau: Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shaanxi Province, after leaving Tongguan in the east, attacked Luoyang, and had bypassed Luoyang City and rushed to Runing Mansion.

Receiving such information, the corners of Li Zicheng's mouth unconsciously showed a sneer.

After Fu Zonglongdong left Tongguan, he knew about the attack on Luoyang, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Fu Zonglong had only 20,000 Shaanxi soldiers under his subordinates, and the main generals were He Renlong, the chief soldier, and Li Guoqi, the deputy chief soldier.

There are three and a half regiments of the reserve battalion in Luoyang City, with a total strength of more than 16,000 people, and the food and salary are sufficient.

It may be very difficult to let Wang Shaoyu go out of the city to defeat Fu Zonglong, but it should not be difficult to hold Luoyang City, and the reserve battalion has been training for a long time, which is just right to train soldiers on the battlefield.

Li Zicheng had already passed a military order to the civil and military forces in Luoyang, once the Ming army attacked in a big way, the prefectures and counties could take the initiative to surrender in order to reduce losses, but they must hold Luoyang City.

The Provisional Governor's Office is stationed in Luoyang, and the money and grain of the Mandate of Heaven Army are mainly hoarded in Luoyang, and this supply base in the rear must not be lost.

Fu Zonglong is an old friend of the Mandate of Heaven Army, when Li Zicheng was in Sichuan, the Mandate of Heaven Army fought with him twice, and Fu Zonglong, who was the governor of Sichuan at that time, did not even touch the edge of the land in Sichuan, so he was driven to Huguang by the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Such a trilateral governor, Li Zicheng is particularly welcome!

Wang Shaoyu did not disappoint Li Zicheng, although he did not go out of the city to attack the enemy, but he held Luoyang City, kept the money and food of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and stabilized the rear of the Mandate of Heaven Army in Henan, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Li Zicheng immediately summoned Wang Shaoyu to commend the soldiers in Luoyang City, reward silver, promotion, and compensation for the casualties, and ask him to write a written report.

After the letter was delivered to He Xiaomi, Li Zicheng thought about the matter of Runing Mansion.

Fu Zonglong came to Runing Mansion, once he wanted to join Yang Wenyue's army, plus the 20,000 horses of Yang Wenyue's department, the total strength reached 40,000.

The 40,000 Ming army wants to take Runing Mansion?

It seems that Fu Zonglong has not yet received a lesson from Luoyang Mansion.

The current Runing Mansion has Li Ji's fourth battalion, Li Xin's independent battalion, with a total strength of 40,000, and the fourth regiment of the seventh battalion stationed in Xinyang Prefecture.

The Heavenly Mandate Army already has an advantage in numbers, and there should be no need for Song Wen's seventh battalion for the time being!

The most strange thing that made Li Zicheng arrive was that four or five months ago, Ding Qirui, the then governor of the three sides, was promoted to the commander of the thief, and he took away 10,000 main troops from Shaanxi, and now Fu Zonglong has taken away another 20,000.

Li Zicheng was originally from Shaanxi, and he knows the temperament of Shaanxi people very well, especially in northern Shaanxi, where the people are fierce and brave, and rangers like Li Guo and Gao Yigong abound.

But the pure people, no matter how strong, and the army is still very different, if there is no strict training, no matter how strong the soldier's personal force is, that is, a single soldier, it is good to meet a tailwind battle, everyone rushes up, in case of encountering the Mandate of Heaven Army, this kind of combat effectiveness of the army, it is a plate of scattered sand!

Fu Zonglong arrived in Shaanxi, no more than two months, did the 20,000 soldiers under him receive strict training?

Li Zicheng thought about it for a long time, and had a certain plan in his heart.

He immediately convened a military meeting, Li Xin, the commander of the independent battalion and the chief envoy of the Military Affairs Department, Li Ji, the chief general of the fourth battalion, Niu Jinxing, the deputy military envoy, and Song Xiance and Luo Rucai, the chief and deputy envoys of the Civil Division, a total of only six people.

War is inevitable, except for Li Zicheng, who did not express his position, the remaining five people are all advocating to face the war.

The key is how to fight, whether it can completely defeat the 40,000 attacking Ming army!

Li Ji advocated facing the battle in the field, and the Mandate of Heaven army relied on the superiority of rifles and artillery to defeat part of the Ming army first, gradually consume the strength of the Ming army, accumulate a small amount, and finally defeat these Ming troops.

Luo Rucai advocated relying on Ruyang City, letting the Ming army take the initiative to attack, and wait until the Ming army was tired, and then go out of the city to break the enemy, and complete the work with one piece.

When it comes to military talents, these two are the most mediocre in the venue, and Li Zicheng hopes to hear the opinions of the trio of Li Xin, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance's opinions are similar, both advocate that before Fu Zonglong arrives on the battlefield, the Heavenly Mandate Army will take the initiative to attack, first defeat Yang Wenyue in Xihua, and then wait for work with ease, and meet Fu Zonglong's troops with superior forces.

Li Xin was opposed, once Yang Wenyue's troops were defeated, Fu Zonglong only had 20,000 soldiers, would he still come to attack Runing City?

Li Zicheng was secretly happy in his heart, no wonder the generals always like to bring strategists with them when they go to war, and the strategists can predict the direction of the battlefield and put what may happen in front of the main general in advance.

Li Ji's opinion is to give full play to the range advantage of rifles, but the troops equipped with rifles are only two regiments of Li Ji's department, and compared with the Ming army, the number is too small, which is not conducive to total annihilation, and Li Zicheng suspects in his heart that Li Ji is greedy for merit!

His opinion was directly denied, the two regiments of the fourth battalion equipped with rifles are the core strength of the Henan Heavenly Mandate Army, and they will not be used easily, on the contrary, let the rest of the army be trained, which is the biggest gain of the war, and in the case of not being able to equip rifles on a large scale, the rest of the army is the main force of the battlefield, so the independent battalion and the Chengtian battalion are called "combat corps"!

Luo Rucai's idea is decent, but a little conservative.

In Li Zicheng's heart, the opinions of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were already very good, taking advantage of the superiority of the Heavenly Mandate Army in numbers and combat effectiveness, they made a time difference and defeated Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong's troops respectively.

Li Zicheng believes that with the combat strength of the Heavenly Mandate Army, it should not be difficult to defeat the two divisions separately!

But as Li Xin said, if Yang Wenyue's troops were defeated in advance, would Fu Zonglong still come to Runing to die?

How bold people are!

Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong gave each other courage, and the Ming army had the idea of attacking Runing and even annihilating the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Li Zicheng glanced at Li Xin, nodded slightly, and said, "Li Gongzi, if Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong are combined into one, and the number of people is about the same as that of the Heavenly Mandate Army, are you sure that they will be completely annihilated?" ”

"The battlefield information is ever-changing, and there is no perfect way for subordinates," Li Xin knew that the Metropolitan Governor was most interested in his strategy, and he was overjoyed, "but his subordinates knew that even if the two divisions of the Ming army were combined, the battle of the Heavenly Mandate Army would be at an advantage!" ”

Li Zicheng said lightly: "Why? ”

Li Xinyi arched his hand and said: "First, starting from Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuantingqin Wang Jingshi, Shaanxi soldiers have continued to leave Shaanxi, the previous Ding Qirui, today's Fu Zonglong, a large number of Shaanxi soldiers have left Shaanxi, and the soldiers' training is definitely insufficient. Second, the Ming army was combined by Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong, and the relationship between the two steps is unclear and unclear, who is the supreme commander? If there are unexpected changes on the battlefield, who will make the corresponding adjustments? In the event of defeat, who bears the main responsibility for the defeat? ”

Li Zicheng was secretly happy in his heart, this Li Xin was really a general, and he saw the warlord style of various departments of the Ming army clearly......

Niu Jinxing followed: "Li Gongzi is right, his subordinates have read a lot of military books, and throughout history, the two combined troops have never had a record of winning in the case of similar numbers of soldiers and combat effectiveness!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's let Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong join forces, and all the strategies and tactics will revolve around them!" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Governor Dadu, since Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong are allowed to join forces, and their subordinates suggest, then let's not put the battlefield in Ruzhou." ”

Li Zicheng groaned, "Mr. Niu means ......"

"Lure the Ming army to the south, the Ming army's grain and grass are not sufficient, and every step forward, the grain and grass will be consumed," Niu Jinxing squinted and said: "When the Ming army's grain and grass are almost consumed, people's hearts will float, and it will be an opportunity for a decisive battle!" ”

Song Xiance hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "If we retreat south, what will happen to Runing City?" Is it left to the Ming army in vain? ”

Li Zicheng's heart moved, and he ceded Runing City to the Ming army, but he was naturally unwilling in his heart, Fucheng was the business center of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and he would not give up lightly until he had to.

However, from Song Xiance's questioning, Li Zicheng thought of a better idea.

He smiled faintly and said: "Runing City will naturally not be left to the Ming army, and it is also a good idea to retreat south and lure the Ming army." ”

"Division?" Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "My subordinates understand, and the Metropolitan Governor lured the Ming army to divide the troops by dividing the troops. ”

Luo Rucai said: "Didn't the Metropolitan Governor just say that once the Ming army divides its troops, it is very likely to lose the courage to fight?" ”

"Then I'll lend a gut to the Ming army," Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "We used the way of dividing the troops, and retreated to the south, luring the Ming army to divide the troops, if Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong are not fooled, there will be no loss in imbledon, if they find out that we divide the troops, the strength will be reduced, and the courage to pursue will be greater, isn't the Ming army short of food and grass?" The retreating army to the south, show the grain and grass! ”

Li Ji laughed, "In this way, even for the sake of grain and grass, the Ming army will pursue south!" ”

Niu Jinxing's beard under his jaw was already five or six inches long, and he twisted his long beard slowly, and said: "We can also create opportunities to take a walk and leave a message outside, which means that the military food and grass are ......."

Li Xin said: "Governor, leave the army to defend the city, don't need too much!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "That's right!" I plan to let Li Gongzi defend the city, and then leave you the first and second regiments of the independent battalion, how about it, are you sure to defend the city? ”

Li Xin was left to defend the city, not only because of Li Xin's extraordinary military strategy, but also because Li Xin stayed in Runing City for the longest time and was most familiar with Runing City, and the people in the city trusted him more.

Li Xin naturally didn't look at the 40,000 Ming army in his eyes, not to mention the city wall guarding, he bowed his hand to Li Zicheng, "Don't worry, the governor of the capital is in the city!" ”

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Li Gongzi, it should be 'people are there, and the city is also'!" ”

"Hahaha...... The Metropolitan Governor is really a stroke of genius! ”
