Soon after Liu Heizi's letter asking Gao Yihuan for help arrived in Nanyang, Ji Guofeng hurried to Nanyang and wanted to see Gao Yihuan.

He approached the military government, but was told that the marshal was busy with affairs, and asked him to stay for the first time, waiting for the marshal to return to his home and summon him.

Liu Heizi and hundreds of thousands of returned German soldiers and civilians waited for Ji Guofeng to move troops to rescue, but Ji Guofeng naturally couldn't sit still, so he found the marshal's mansion again, and the marshal's mansion guard said that the marshal was not in the marshal's mansion in recent days, and asked him to go to the military government's yamen to ask.

So Ji Guofeng was kicked back to the military government's yamen, and Tu Bihong, Licao's senator, made a fool of himself, and finally asked him to wait a little longer.

Ji Guofeng asked Tu Bihong to tell him where Gao Dashuai was, and he went over to ask to see him, but Tu Bihong couldn't say clearly, and he had to ask a few judges about this matter.

Ji Guofeng asked again, where are the verdicts, and Tu Bihong said that I don't know about this.

The bureaucratic style of the military government came up, and he played Tai Chi very well, which made Ji Guo very angry, but he was very helpless, knowing that Gao Yihuan was avoiding it, and he had to continue to ask for a meeting.

When Ji Guofeng wanted to see Gao Yihuan, Gao Dashuai was actually in the Dashuai's mansion.

At the beginning, Ji Guofeng was also a talent favored by Gao Dashuai, but he did not take refuge in him, but followed Liu Heizi.

This time, the tall and handsome man avoided it, definitely not because he was small-minded, but because it was impossible for him to send troops to provoke 200,000 Qing troops for Liu Heizi.

In the living room of the marshal's mansion that day, Gao Yihuan was sitting on the Taishi chair, unfolding a letter in his hand to read, and several staff members were sitting on both sides, talking in a whisper.

The letter was written by He Tengjiao, and it was about the imperial court's hope that he could send troops to fight the Qing army that invaded the south with the Ming army in Jiangbei.

The Nanjing court knew that he was only nominally obedient, but in fact he did not listen to either the tune or the announcement.

If Zhu Cihong directly ordered Gao Yihuan to send troops, but Gao Yihuan didn't want him, Zhu Cihong would be a little unable to get off the stage, so he first asked He Tengjiao to send a letter to persuade Gao Yihuan to send troops.

Gao Yihuan finished reading the letter, handed the letter to Chen Mingxia, who was sitting nearby, and said with a smile, "Nanjing wants Ben Shuai to send troops to rescue Guide and Xuzhou, and prevent the Tartars from going south, but he is not willing to give any benefits, what do you think?" ”

The Qing army invaded the south, and Gao Yihuan was keenly aware that his opportunity had come, so he summoned several important staff members to Nanyang to give him advice.

Chen Mingxia quickly read the letter aside, and then handed it to Lu Yifang, and several other people simply got up and gathered around to watch it together.

After a short time, after reading the letter, several people sat back in their seats and whispered for a while.

Liang Yizhang hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, I think that the east is going south and attacking Nanjing, and we need to send troops to rescue us no matter what." ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "The Tartars are powerful, if they occupy Jiangnan, the situation may be difficult to reverse." Therefore, saving must be saved, but the problem is that the 200,000 male soldiers of the Tartars invaded the south, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi are eyeing each other, and the strength of the commander is limited, how to save it? ”

Several staff members immediately understood what Gao Yihuan meant, Wei Wujun would make a move, but he would first consider his own situation and would not carry it for the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Qing army has only reached the front line of Xuzhou, the war has just begun, and Gao Yihuan will definitely not make a move.

Chen Mingxia stood up and said: "Marshal, after the military government expanded the army this year, the number of troops reached 200,000, but most of them were newly recruited or demoted, and they could not take on the big responsibility. The soldiers and horses that the marshal can use will not exceed 100,000, but the Qing army has 200,000 elites. He thought that now was not the time to send troops, and that he had to wait a little longer. ”

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "When does Mr. Chen think it is time to send troops?" ”

Chen Mingxia said: "Now the Qing army is still on the front line of Xuzhou, and it has not penetrated into the Ming realm, if the marshal sends troops now, it will directly face the 200,000 Qing army, and he thinks that not only can he not relieve the siege of Nanjing, but southern Henan may also suffer from Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's attack." ”

200,000 Tartars are on the front line of Xuzhou, and there is the advantage of the horse army, and the Ming army in Jiangbei has shrunk up, even if Gao Yihuan leads 100,000 horses over, there is no chance of winning.

Besides, Gao Yihuan finally took a breath, and he didn't need to have a hard top tartar in front of him, how could he go to Xuzhou to find a beating?

Gao Yihuan nodded and looked at Chen Mingxia, who walked to a map hanging on the wall and said, "Dashuai, I think there are three feasible plans to help Nanjing relieve the siege!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the location of the Huai River on the map, "The first method is to wait for the Qing army to reach the front line of the Huai River, or even break through the line of the Huai River, and then send troops to outflank Xuzhou." At this time, the Qing army had gone deep into the Ming realm, and after the successive battles, there was a lack of men and horses, and the Ming army was strangled together, and the marshal outflanked Xuzhou, and the Qing army could not take care of each other, and it was bound to be defeated. This strategy is considered to be the safest, but for the junta, it is unprofitable, and it may not be possible to get back the military funds spent. ”

It is impossible for Gao Yihuan to ask for Xuzhou, and he will not even want to return to Germany, and the Nanjing court is poorer than Gao Yihuan, and He Tengjiao basically did not mention any benefits in the letter. Gao Yihuan estimated that this was because the Nanjing court was really poor, and the second was that Nanjing did not want to give it.

Gao Yihuan stood up and walked to the map and asked, "What about the other two strategies?" ”

"Dashuai, the second strategy is to fight northern Henan!" Chen Mingxia pointed to Luoyang and Zhengzhou, "This strategy also has to wait for the Qing army to go deep into the Ming Realm, and the marshal will go north to attack Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, forcing the Qing army to return to the division to rescue." The success or failure of this strategy depends on timing, and if the Qing army does not penetrate deep into the Ming realm, the Nanjing crisis may be resolved, but we ourselves will have to face the dilemma of 200,000 Qing troops. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the Qing army that invaded the south to be tired after a long time before taking action, so that the Qing army will not immediately deal with us when it returns to the division. This strategy is the easiest and easiest to implement, and it even only needs to be a false shot, but the problem is that it is difficult to kill the Qing army, and it will also draw the attention of the Qing army back to us again. ”

Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, and several strategists in the hall also started talking.

This strategy is really easy, avoid the main force of the Qing army, see the right time to shake a shot, you can scare the Qing army, it is the easiest to implement, and it does not require too much preparation, but the disadvantage is that there are too many sequelae.

Chen Mingxia paused, pointed his finger at Guanzhong, and suddenly raised his spirit and said: "Dashuai, the third strategy of the humble position is to seek Guanzhong." ”

As soon as he said this, Gao Yihuan and everyone in the hall were a little shocked, and they couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.

Chen Mingxia looked at Gao Yihuan with fiery eyes, "Handsome! The main force of the Qing army marched south, and there was only Wu Sangui in Guanzhong, and the troops were relatively empty. The marshal can bluff on the one hand, put on a posture to rescue Nanjing, drag the Qing army's forces in Lianghuai and Henan, and instigate Zhang Xianzhong to attack Wu Sangui on the other hand, and then contact Li Guo and Gao Yigong of Yongliang, and finally see the opportunity to lead the army into Guanzhong. This strategy is extremely complex to operate, and many conditions need to be met, and once it is successful, it is in hand. The minister thought that this strategy was the most profitable, but the risk was also not small, and the marshal really occupied Guanzhong, the situation in the world changed immediately, Zhang Xianzhong and the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not give up! ”

The latter two strategies can be said to be to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but the former strategy is just a false shot, and the latter strategy really wants to directly capture Guanzhong.

Henan and Lianghuai are too close, once there is a problem, the Qing army can quickly return to help, Guanzhong and Lianghuai gather far away, and there is Xiongguan in charge, after the problem, the Qing army can not catch up for a while.

Everyone in the hall was silent for a while, Gao Yihuan's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he really couldn't make a decision for a while.

This requires a very detailed process of multi-party liaison and layout.

In addition, whether the Nanjing Imperial Court can bear it and what kind of fight it can be made is also a key issue to be considered.

Chen Mingxia looked at Gao Yihuan, who had always been decisive and handsome, but hesitated, he was a little uncomfortable by Chen Mingxia's gaze, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, you let me think again!" ”
