Chapter 698: The Thief Army is not us
Hanyang to Jiujiang is only 400 miles, long before Zheng Sen led the army to Hanyang, Liu Neng had already returned to Jiujiang by boat.
Knowing that the Shun army followed his advice and the whole army left Xiangyang and entered the north, Hao Shaoqi and Zheng Sen successively led their troops to Hanyang, and Chen Yue was very determined. With the two armies of Hao Shaoqi and Zheng Sen present, Zhang Dingguo's troops in Wuchang are no longer afraid.
However, Zheng Sen and Zhang Dingguo, in another time and space, one is Zheng Chenggong, the surname of the country, and the other is Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, who are the two important generals who support Nanming. In this regard, Chen Yue was full of expectations and a smile appeared on his face.
Lu Zhenfei on the side didn't understand Chen Yue's bad taste, but was worried.
"The thief is the enemy of my Ming Dynasty, and the fall of Beijing is the shame of His Majesty's life, in order to win, you and the thief reached such a deal, if it reaches the ears of Your Majesty and the courtiers, it will be another uproar!" Lu Zhenfei sighed.
"It doesn't cost a single soldier to make the Shun army stay away from Jingxiang and go to Shaanxi to fight with the Manchurians, so that the Xiangyang army and Hao Shaoqi's army can go to Hanyang to contain the Wuchang thief army and relieve the pressure on my Jiujiang. Don't the ministers of the court have brains, if such a strategy also attacks in groups, then simply let them fight with the western thieves! Liu Neng shouted dissatisfiedly.
"It's so simple above the temple, many people take care of their own interests, who cares about the overall situation of the war!" Lu Zhenfei sighed, "Qi Guogong is a matter of safety in the Ming Dynasty, so he should act cautiously and not give his political enemies an excuse to attack." ”
Lu Zhenfei is the only important minister in Chen Yue's faction, and Chen Yue knows it for his own sake.
"Thank you for seeing Brother Bai's reminder," Chen Yue smiled, "But those people in the court are not to worry about for the time being." Now they need me to resist the thief army, and they won't do anything to me until the thief army is wiped out, and as for one or two people who jump off the beam, it's not a matter of worry.
When I defeat the thieves and win a great victory, I want to see who dares to attack me! ”
Saying that, Chen Yue's face showed a hint of fierceness, this time, he will definitely not compromise with anyone again!
Lu Zhenfei sighed and said no more. He was already branded with the Chen Yue faction, and the Qingliu officials of the Donglin Party regarded him as an enemy, and his expulsion from the court this time was the masterpiece of the Donglin Party.
Since he chose Chen Yue, he naturally hoped that Chen Yue could take the position, and from Chen Yue's body, Lu Zhenfei saw the hope of clarifying the universe and rebuilding the Ming Dynasty. But after all, Chen Yue is a martial artist, and Lu Zhenfei himself is a member of the Wenchen, and he doesn't want to see the situation of the martial arts completely suppressing the literati reappearing, which is definitely not a blessing of the country, so Lu Zhenfei is very contradictory.
"Now that the Wuchang thief army is no longer a threat to us, we can finally devote all our energy to dealing with Zhang Xianzhong. Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do? Chen Yue asked with a smile.
When Chen Yue and Lu Zhenfei talked about the court, Jin Shenghuan and Yu Feng generals remained silent, this kind of thing is not something they can interject. Now that they heard Chen Yue talk about the war, Jin Shenghuan, Yu Feng and the others suddenly became excited.
"Guogong, from the point of view of the last general, although the thief army is just a group of rabble, we should take the initiative to attack and send troops to attack Zhang Xianzhong's own formation, as long as he is defeated in the land battle, the battle of Jiujiang can be easily ended." Yu Feng was the first to speak and said with a grin.
"Nonsense, there are as many as 500,000 thieves, and our army is just 100,000, nearly half of which are sailors, how can they take the initiative to attack in a land battle?" Lu Tai on the side couldn't help but scold.
When he was in the Pingnan Army, Lu Tai was already the deputy general of the water battalion, and his status was far above Yu Feng, and now, Yu Feng has become the marquis of the general army of a town, and although Lu Tai also became the chief soldier of Dinghai, he did not have any title. Although this is all arranged by Chen Yue, because if Lu Tai is also a marquis, he can no longer be directly under Chen Yue. Lu Tai was not dissatisfied with this, but seeing Yu Feng's arrogant appearance, Lu Tai couldn't help but scold.
"There are many lakes and rivers in Jiangxi, Poyang Lake is the largest lake in the Ming Dynasty, the thieves and the army transport many ships and water, in the opinion of the last general, we should take the initiative to attack the thief army with the sailors, if we can destroy the thief army in a battle, the battle of Jiujiang will be won!"
Yu Feng, who scolded Lu Tai, just smiled and didn't return the favor, he was also an old brother of the Pingnan Army, and he knew that Lu Tai was uncomfortable. And Yu Feng didn't really want to send troops to fight with the thief army when he took the lead, but just looked at the solemn atmosphere in the tent and deliberately spoke to ease the atmosphere.
Sure enough, after Yu Feng Lu Tai's speech, the atmosphere in the tent swept away the dullness just now and became warm. Everyone spoke and expressed their opinions. Generals Yu Feng, Jin Shenghuan, and Lu Tai are all people who are used to fighting, and they have fought against more than 100,000 Eight Banner soldiers, how can they be afraid of the bandit army?
"What do you think of Brother Bai?" Chen Yue listened to the generals' speeches with a smile on his face, and after the generals said it again, he asked Lu Zhenfei.
Lu Zhenfei pondered for a moment, and Fang slowly spoke, "The enemy is outnumbered, so it is not suitable to engage in wave warfare." If you take the initiative to attack, you must find the enemy's weak underbelly, and make the enemy unable to parry with one blow, and completely win the game! Otherwise, it would not be appropriate to attack. And now, our army does not seem to have found the weakness of the thief army, and it is not appropriate to take the initiative to attack. The defensive strategy formulated in the past was very good, sticking to the two cities at the mouth of Jiujiang Lake, blocking the way for the thief army to go out of Jiangxi, forcing it to fight a decisive battle with our army, defending the city to consume the strength of the thief army, and then looking for defeated enemy fighters. ”
"See Brother Bai." Chen Yue praised, his voice changed, and he reprimanded the generals: "Did you hear it, what is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, you know that shouting and shouting and killing, and the art of war is said to be a war and a second battle." We have a fortified city to hold onto, and a steady stream of reinforcements, food, and materials from the downstream, so why waste our troops in fighting with the thief army? And just stay with peace of mind and wait for the thief army to attack!
Although the strength of the thief army is several times that of our army, there are many people who consume a lot of food and materials, so how can Jiangxi Province supply 500,000 troops? It's only March, and the summer harvest is still two months away, so I don't think the thieves will last until then. If it is too heavy, it will inevitably make the people of Jiangxi rebel one after another, and Yan Yingyuan will respond in Ji'an, and they will soon fall into the enemy on all sides.
So, it's the thieves who are in a hurry now, not us! ”
These days, Chen Yue has been thinking hard day and night, and he has already seen the situation clearly, and now although Zhang Xianzhong seems to be in no hurry to fight steadily, Chen Yue expects that he will not last long, and it will not take much time to take the initiative to attack. ()
