The Northern Expeditionary Army reached Shandong, and Aixin Jueluo Babuhai, who was stationed in Jinan Prefecture, was the eleventh son of Nurhachi, and led the army from Jinan Mansion to the south to meet the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Although Babuhai is also the son of Nurhachi, his qualifications are mediocre, he does not have the bravery of his father and brother, and he is reluctant to go south when he hears the order of the imperial court.
There will be no fighting spirit, the soldiers are timid, and the group drags and drags and marches slowly. Thirteen days after Babuhai announced his departure from Jinan Mansion, he actually walked to Taishan Mansion. At such a speed, let alone marching, even if it is a tour of the mountains and rivers, it should have arrived a long time ago. Even in the north, Babu Hai had heard about the achievements of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and a clever plan came to his mind under his weak heart. He sent a thousand men to reconnoiter in front of his army, and only after reporting daily that there were no enemy troops did he give the order to march. The Qing soldiers of Jinan Mansion were very satisfied with this commander, and they were eager to burn high incense for him.
At this time, Li Haoxian had already captured most of the territory of Yanzhou Prefecture, although he was advancing all the way, but soon the problem of insufficient soldiers was exposed. The Huozi battalion had a total of 100,000 people, leaving 30,000 Manchu remnants who pacified Huai'an, and the remaining manpower was only 80,000. Moreover, there are dangers and passes everywhere, and troops must be divided to guard them.
When he arrived in Yizhou, Li Haoxian looked at the more than 60,000 people he had on hand, and sighed in his heart: The Northern Expedition has reached this point, and it is already the end of the crossbow. Li Haoxian's hometown of Dengzhou Mansion is right in front of him, and no one knows how eager this seven-foot man is to lead his troops to recover his hometown.
A fast horse galloped from Shandong to Hou Xuanyan's camp in Huai'an Prefecture, and the Huozi battalion asked for troops to support and needed Hou Xuanyan to send officials to govern the place. Hou Xuanyan frowned deeply, the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition fought too fast, and the battle line was stretched very long all of a sudden. Troops can be transferred from Fengyang Mansion, Jinan Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion to attack the place where Huozi's revenue is recovered at any time. At this time, the stationed officials are equivalent to pushing them to the guillotine, waiting for the giant axe to fall at any time.
At this time, we should not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place at all, but should look for the main force of the Qing army and seek a decisive battle. Killing and injuring the Manchu generals as much as possible was the way to win the Northern Expedition.
The Qing court obviously understood this, although Li Haoxian was menacing, as long as Fengyang Mansion was not broken through, this lone in-depth Huozi battalion could only end hastily. Therefore, the turtle march in the Babu Sea was not ordered by the Qing court, and there was not even the least urging.
"Alas, I shouldn't have sent Li Haoxian to fight Shandong, where is he willing to give up the states and counties he has beaten in Shandong, he is bound to be very nostalgic." Hou Xuanyan felt uncomfortable, obviously he was a strong soldier, a strong horse, a rainbow, and a triumphant song all the way. However, the situation is stronger than people, and the general trend of the world will never change because of people's ideas, and no matter how strong the Eastern Route Army is, it is difficult to support it alone. Even if it hits Liaodong, pulling down a battle line that stretches from east to west to the entire Ming Empire, being cut off by someone will be the end of the entire army.
Zhu Dadian comforted: "Guogong doesn't need to be sad, the Northern Expedition has always been extremely difficult and dangerous, and it is unrealistic to want to do it overnight." It is a taboo for a soldier to go deep alone, as strong as Liu Jinu, and it is not a matter of returning again and again. Chen Qingzhi took 32 cities with thousands of people and shocked the Central Plains. It was inevitable that he would suffer a fiasco because of the lone army, and he sneaked back to Jiangnan alone. Besides, now the Zheng family is in great trouble, if we rashly invest all our troops, I am afraid that the backyard will catch fire, and the place in our heart will be taken advantage of by the Zheng family thieves, and then we will really lose everything. ”
Hou Xuanyan kicked over the table, and there was a nameless fire in his chest: "Unwilling!" After Shandong, it is Kifu, the Northern Expedition has taken ninety-nine steps, and you can't step out of the door, do you say that you are aggrieved or not? ”
Zhu Dadian stood up straight, and said in a solemn tone: "Guogong, who has achieved great things since ancient times, must be indomitable, and the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he becomes. Now that we are not defeated, how can we be impetuous, and lose our insight. The general trend of the world is like a game with others, and only by having a basis for advance and retreat can we be foolproof. If you are greedy for merit, others will strangle the dragon's head, even if you have the advantage in the early stage, you will eventually lose everything. We didn't count the enemy this time, the north was already a battle of trapped beasts, and there were many fatigues, so he could survive for a long time, and it was only a moment too late to perish. ”
These words were like a slap in the face, Hou Xuanyan sweated on his forehead after listening to it, and his mind was clear. Carried away by hatred and victory, he has always wanted to end the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, expel the Tartars, and restore the Central Plains. But this matter is originally a step-by-step process, and it is absolutely impatient, "Yuan Jia is hasty, sealing the wolf Juxu, and winning the canghuang Beigu". Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yifu has proved that during the Northern Expedition, the lone army went deep into what happened. If the Central Route Army is never able to break through Fengyang Mansion, then Shandong's Huozi Battalion must be withdrawn.
Zhu Dadian is worthy of being an old minister of the Three Dynasties, he sees things very transparently, and has wisdom and calmness that he does not have. And he knew that Hou Xuanyan was not an arrogant and domineering person who did not listen to people's persuasion, and his words penetrated into it, which made Hou Xuanyan completely wake up. The Northern Expedition was invincible, which gave him too much confidence and made him impetuous. The current Hou Xuanyan can't withstand failure, or even a little setback. If something doesn't go well, he will be angry, and he will often use his anger to do things, and he is no longer the Jiadinger who can't be killed by the righteous master.
As the sun set, Li Haoxian stood at the head of Yizhou City, the scarred city was trampled under his feet, holding a letter written by the person he was most in awe of, and read in a low voice: "At the end of the strong crossbow, those who can't wear Lu Mian are also." If you can't go straight to the capital, sweep away the Tartars, and return to Huai'an. The coming day is long, and the heroes do not fight for a long time. ”
Chen Pengjie, the staff general next to him, his face was slightly tired, and his forehead and cheeks were still a little black and gray, and he clenched his fists and asked, "General, we are stationed here tonight, or do we want to continue to go north?" ”
Li Haoxian looked back, and the little soldiers around him pricked up their ears and looked at him with blank eyes. The team of the Huozi Battalion is recruited from Suzhou, and it has been half a year since he left his hometown, and the campaign has not stopped since Yangzhou. The wind in Shandong was blowing fast and dry, wrapping each of them in a layer of dust, and there was the same homesickness in their eyes as themselves. Li Haoxian pushed himself and others, and he also knew that the soldiers were extremely tired. Even if you are an iron fighter, you will be physically and mentally exhausted if you continue to fight for half a year without stopping.
Chen Pengjie has always followed him, and he has never seen Li Haoxian's look, and he looks quite lonely.
"General?"
"Let's go back to Huai'an..."
