Chapter 166: Consideration and Decision
、、、、、、、
When the generals retreated and began to go back to arrange the handover of defense, Xiao Tianjian and Niu Jinxing Li Jinde stood in front of the map in the big tent.
"Marshal, have you made up your mind?" Li Jinde asked Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "Yes!" I've made up my mind! No change! ”
Li Jinde said to Xiao Tianjian with some worry: "But the marshal led his troops out this time, and there were only 10,000 troops in total, and no matter the officers and troops coming from any direction, the number far exceeded the marshal!" Wouldn't that be too risky? ”
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said: "Don't worry too much, there are our detailed activities in all parts of Henan nowadays, and the people are waiting for our Xingtian Army to attack the past, as long as we go to the place, we will be able to respond to every call, so there is no problem in terms of troops, not to mention that our Xingtian Army has always been a noble soldier!" So don't use the strength of troops to measure the gap between us and the official army!
In addition, you and Mr. Niu have said, don't look at the officials and soldiers coming this time, but they can't be effectively controlled by Xiong Wencan, these generals of the officers and soldiers from all walks of life, everyone has their own little abacus, and they are not willing to fight with us! You're right about that, and that's why I'm leading my troops out to fight!
I just want to take advantage of the opportunity of the officers and soldiers to fight separately, drag them away, seek a lot of consumption of their strength in the movement, and when the time is ripe, and then give them a break, once we take the defensive, it is now the beginning of spring, and the agricultural affairs in these jurisdictions are also the time of spring sowing, as soon as the officers and troops arrive, with our troops, it is likely to take care of their heads, and if there is a slight mistake, it will let the officers and soldiers take advantage of the loopholes, once they go deep into our mansion, Then a lot of the efforts we have made during this time have been ruined by them! Once many places are affected by the war disaster this year, our days will be sad in the second half of the year! In our territory, if we don't get it right in winter, there will be another famine, and if a great famine is triggered, who will support us like now?
So we can't wait for the officers and soldiers to come to the door, we have to take the initiative to attack, meet them and defeat them first! As for the danger of this battle, don't worry too much, we have fought more battles with fewer victories, and we rarely lose, so this time I believe that we can still win, and it is still a complete victory, and we will drain the blood of the current court in this battle, so that they will no longer have the strength to organize such a large-scale attack on us in the future!
At present, all the reserve camps have been mobilized, and I am afraid that there will be a shortage of labor in the spring ploughing in the counties, and the number of cattle, mules and horses in our jurisdiction is very limited, and now the strong laborers are mobilized to prepare for war, which is even heavier on the burden of the people!
Therefore, Mr. Niu should think of more ways to solve this contradiction and sow all the spring sowing of all farmland as much as possible! I'm afraid this matter will be more difficult than me leading the army out to fight, and this matter will be Mr. Lao Niu! ”
Niu Jinxing nodded and said: "What the big marshal is very worried about, it is best to do this!" Instead of waiting for the officials and soldiers to come to the door, it is better to burn the flames of war to their land, and agree to the arrangement of the marshal this time! As for the spring sowing, the handsome don't have to worry about it, he will definitely try his best to solve this problem! Please rest assured that you can fight outside!
In addition, Xiuye (Li Jinde), this time you accompany the marshal on the expedition, you have to plan more for the marshal, don't make any mistakes, the marshal must not fail! ”
Li Jinde immediately nodded and bowed: "Please rest assured, Mr. Niu, the student will definitely live up to the handsome and gentleman!" Now the students know that Dashuai is really a hero in the world, and students really admire Dashuai! Just do what the marshal says! But when the troops are sent next, who does the marshal plan to fight first? ”
This time, Xiao Tianjian did not answer directly, but asked Li Jinde: "You, the senator, what you have to do is to counsel military affairs for me, so in your opinion, who should we do first this time?" ”
Li Jinde looked at the map with his arms crossed, unconsciously bit his lower lip, stroked the short hair of his chin with one hand, thought about it for a while, and analyzed Xiao Tianjian: "If we say that among these officers and soldiers, the biggest threat to us is the officers and troops coming from the direction of Tongguan, after all, Shaanzhou has not been taken by us at the moment, only to take Mianchi and Xin'anyi, we can't grasp whether the officers and troops from Tongguan will fight Mianchi or Lu first, so there is a lot of pressure in this regard!" However, the marshal has already made arrangements for this, with Deputy Marshal Luo and General Liu in charge of this direction, with their knowledge, they should be able to judge what to do best!
Among the rest of the official army, the strongest force is Zuo Liangyu and Li Guoqi in the direction of Nanyang, their combined strength plus the officers and troops of Xiangyang and Nanyang, the strength should reach more than 40,000 people, and once they start to act, it will form a lot of pressure on Lushan, Baofeng, and Ruzhou!
As for Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan's department, they are currently in Runing Mansion, the farthest away from here, and the threat is relatively smaller, and the weakest is probably Liu Zeqing's Shandong soldiers who moved from the direction of Kaifeng, depending on the situation, it should be best to fight Liu Zeqing first! After defeating him all the way, he quickly returned to his division to fight Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan's department, and finally Zuo Liangyu and Li Guoqi's department.
But once this is done, for the marshal, he will have to lead his troops to go around in a circle along the entire central part of Henan, but it is easy to unite the officers and troops in the direction of Nanyang and the officers and troops in the direction of Runing Mansion, so it is not necessarily the best policy to fight Liu Zeqing first!
Judging from the humble position, if the marshal wants to be surprised, he might as well hit Runing Mansion first! ”
Li Jinde didn't speak fast, and he didn't seem to be too organized, more like he was talking to himself, but in the end he still put forward his opinion, and after finishing speaking, he turned to Xiao Tianjian, watching Xiao Tianjian wait for his decision.
Xiao Tianjian didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing was also listening carefully to Li Jinde's words at this time, and without waiting for Xiao Tianjian to speak, he asked first: "Hit Runing first?" So what should Liu Zeqing's department, which is closest to Luoyang, do? He is most likely to arrive in Luoyang first, once he leads his troops to Luoyang and joins forces with the officials and troops outside Luoyang City, it will be a great threat to both Mianchi and Yiyang! Why don't you hit Liu Zeqing first? ”
Li Jinde nodded and replied: "Liu Zeqing's department is a guest army, and it is said that the military discipline under his command is very loose, these soldiers from Shandong have thought about returning a lot, and it has been several months since they came to Kaifeng!" But there are not many cases of real confrontation with other rebels, but there are a lot of things that have been done to kill good people and take risks.
And Liu Zeqing is not a fierce general, but a few years ago when he made some contributions in Kefu Dengzhou, after being promoted, this person became arrogant and domineering, and the army was not strict, and he was very good at drilling camps.
Judging by the student, even if he is ordered to rush to Luoyang this time, he may not urge the troops to rush forward, who doesn't know that Luoyang City has long been the meat of our Xingtian Army, and with a person like Liu Zeqing, he will never enter Luoyang before the arrival of other officials and troops!
His biggest possibility is to slowly march into the army first, and after arriving in Xingyang or Gongxian, stop and watch the limelight, and now look at the news reported back carefully, it should be like this, a few days, this guy only sent troops from Kaifeng Mansion, and he only walked out of dozens of miles, in total, he walked less than twenty miles a day, he was simply delaying time, and he didn't plan to go to Luoyang first!
Therefore, the students thought that to deal with Liu Zeqing, they only needed to send a battalion of men and horses to attack Gongxian or Yanshi, and they did not necessarily have to conquer these two counties, as long as they bluffed there, Liu Zeqing would be frightened and dare not march forward! If it really doesn't work, this battalion can also choose a place near Gongxian to block Liu Zeqing's department, and buy time for the marshal to solve Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan's department first! ”
"Then why didn't we attack Zuo Liangyu first? You must know that the officers and soldiers under the command of this guy are the most corrupt in military discipline among all the officers and soldiers, and they can be called the bandit army of the bandits! And he is the strongest, once I get rid of him first, I think that the other officers and soldiers will naturally be intimidated by the power of our army, and they will not dare to come to us to fight to the death again, why don't we clean up this guy first? Xiao Tianjian hugged his arms and nodded to Li Jinde and asked.
Li Jinde knew that it was time for Xiao Tianjian to consider his ability today, so he cheered up and continued: "It's not appropriate! Although Zuo Liangyu is lax in governing the army, it is precisely because of his connivance that many of the generals gathered by his subordinates are some scoundrels and even outlaws, so don't look at his military discipline collapse, but among these several officers and soldiers, I am afraid that he is also the most capable of fighting!
If the general hits Zuo Liangyu first, he will go south first, and now Xiong Wencan is sitting in Nanyang, and he will immediately transfer Zuo Liangyu and Li Guoqi and other officials and troops to meet the marshal, and it will definitely make Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan march from Runing to form a joint encirclement of the marshal, once the marshal is surrounded, this time it is not a duel with the official army in our jurisdiction, but in the area controlled by the official army, and the slightest carelessness may be attacked by the enemy, so it is not the best policy to fight Zuo Liangyu first!
And the reason why the humble position asked the marshal to fight Runing first, is because Huang Degong was originally a defeated general under the marshal, last year's defeat in Baofeng Hongshi Mountain I am afraid that there will be palpitations now, the elite soldiers under his command have already been wiped out in the last battle, and now although a team has been re-established in Jiangbei, but I am afraid that the combat power will be quite limited, even if Sun Yingyuan's department is added, it will not be the opponent of the marshal, and the situation in Runing is also conducive to the marshal's action, as long as the marshal is thunderous, Defeat Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan's subordinates first, then it will be difficult for Xiong Wencan's officers and troops mobilized in Henan to take care of each other, no matter who the commander fights next, he can completely grasp the initiative! ”
Bang Bang Bang ...... After listening to Li Jinde's words, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help laughing and applauding, then stepped forward and patted Li Jinde on the shoulder a few times, and said with a smile: "What Xiuye said is quite good!" Wonderful! It's wonderful! Hehe! ……”
(When it comes to doing it, it's the third year of junior high school today, and there is no break!) Hehe! Everyone is still satisfied! )
