Wu Jisi cautiously but uninhibitedly picked up a bamboo pole and pointed to the map: "Yiyang is more than 300 miles northwest of Changsha, there are about 10,000 green battalions of the Han Eight Banners in the city, mainly 5,000 green battalions of Ma Jiaoscale, and outside the city, there are 10,000 elite soldiers of Zhongwu Town under Wu Yibo (Li Dingguo) and 5,000 elite infantry under the command of Liehou (Gao Yigong), a total of 15,000 people and horses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the lack of artillery, building cars, crashes and other large-scale siege equipment, Yiyang City is difficult to capture for a while, and it is currently in a stalemate. ”

"Is there any movement over there?"

"Refusing to report that on June 23, Shun Shun Kong Youde sent Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's 40,000 soldiers and horses to set off from Yuezhou, with the purpose of directly pointing at Yiyang, thinking that it was to rescue the two Tartars in Yiyang City."

"Any other news?"

"Not yet."

"Well, how are the preparations for the expedition?"

"Guiyi Town (Hao Shaoqi Department), Danglu Town (Yuan Zongdi), Yulin Town (Wu Jihei Department), Huben Town (Jiaolian Department) The four towns have a total of more than 40,000 soldiers and horses have been prepared, and the defense of Changsha has also been properly prepared, leaving the Qingzi Battalion (Yunnan General Hu Yiqing Department) and Dingyu Town (Liu Tichun's Department) part of the soldiers and horses to guard, and the other town troops are ready to send troops, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, directly kill Ben Yiyang! There is nothing else, and he is still ordered to continue to exchange letters with Nanchang in order to stabilize Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren. ”

"Well, Jin Shenghuan has no way out, he can only defend Nanchang, and Yu Long has been ordered to escort food and ordnance to respond, and it is not a big problem to stick to Nanchang. As long as there is nothing wrong with Nanchang, we can let go of our hands in Huguang, but we can't take it lightly, especially the first two lucky victories, and we must not be arrogant and complacent. Don't forget, that's not the main force of the Tartars, this time, we're going to fight with the elite of the two Tartars, don't be careless! By the way, is there any news from Manchurian Dorgon? ”

"The news from the north that Wu Sangui had been stationed in Hanzhong, allegedly, was ordered by Dolgon, and at the same time, it was said that Dolgon sent people to Liaodong to move troops to prepare to rescue Huguang. However, the three reverse and other departments have already transferred more than 50,000 horses from Liaodong, and Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses have gone to the west, but I am afraid that Liaodong will not be able to squeeze out many people, at most 20,000!

Moreover, the time for mobilizing and marching troops from Liaodong is counted, and it will be the end of the year at the earliest to arrive in Huguang! Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and when they come, the situation in Huguang has changed greatly. ”

"So, there is no backup for the three reverses?" Zhu Youlang asked again.

"In the opinion of the minister, I'm afraid it may not be!" Wu Jisi said very cautiously: "Wu Sangui was transferred to Hanzhong, saying that it was to suppress the local civil unrest, but in fact, I am afraid that it was to take precautions against unexpected events in the Huguang war. If Huguang San's military disadvantage is unfavorable and he can't make meritorious contributions for a long time, or many Ergon will let Wu Sangui come to help! ”

"Wu Sangui?" Zhu Youlang grinned: "In my opinion, it's difficult!" Dolgon will never let Wu Sangui come to the east unless he has to!

Wu Sangui is a person who attaches great importance to fame and fortune and has great ambitions, and is not a person who is willing to live under his subordinates. In the year of Jiashen, the imperial court ordered him to enter the king of Guanqin, he marched slowly, naturally he was selfish, but if he wanted to say that he surrendered to Jiannu with all his heart, I am afraid that it may not be!

He led the slave soldiers into the customs, and Li Zicheng was forced to do it tightly, in order to survive the helpless move, not willingly surrendered to Jiannu, but he was deeply favored by the emperor's courtesy, and finally made such a thing as apostasy, I think I am not a little loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he is an ambitious hero. His person is obviously not something that Da Ming or Jiannu can easily call.

Manchu Dolgon must have also realized this, throughout his entry into the customs, Wu Sangui was not allowed to stay in Beijing, but let him rush westward, and beat Li Zicheng to take the north road, and it was useless to fight Jiangnan, this time to fight Huguang or use three reverses, only put him in Hanzhong. Hehe, Wu Sangui's Guan Ningbing, isn't it as good as Kong Youde?

This arrangement shows that Dolgon is extremely uneasy about him, for fear that he will be trapped in the abyss, so that he can sit big, or withdraw money with the big light and dark, and beat himself in turn! ”

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Youlang knew that Wu Jiji was worried, shook his hand, and said: "Having said that, we still can't be careless, Zhuqing must discuss the countermeasures in advance, it's good that Wu Sangui doesn't come, if he comes, we can also be prepared, and then we will have a good deal with him!"

Okay, let's put Wu Sangui's plan in advance and talk about how to fight this battle in Yiyang! Wu Jihei, you are the deputy marshal of the reinforcements, and you are also the senator of the Chinese army, or do you say it first! ”

Although the emperor did not completely agree with his words, Wu Jisi also knew that the emperor was a cautious and moderate person, since he said so, he naturally had his reasons, and he didn't have to care, as long as he was always careful.

Then he said: "The minister thinks that it is still based on the annihilation of the living force, the core military strength of the Tartars and hardcore thieves is limited, and if one dies, there will be one less, it is difficult to replenish, they can't afford to die!" Therefore, the minister thought that he didn't have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, as long as he annihilated his main force, Huguang would naturally be able to recover.

Judging from the current situation, how Wu Sangui will stay needs to be further observed according to the battle situation. The battle of Yiyang is related to the vast situation of Hu, and all departments are ready for battle, at the disposal of His Majesty! For specific strategies, please show your majesty! ”

"Hmmm! Jiao Aiqing, you are the commander of the reinforcements and the old man in front of me, what do you think? ”

The emperor asked him by name, and Jiao Lian immediately gave a military salute and said: "If you return to the emperor, the minister also agrees to take the annihilation of the enemy as the main purpose of the battle, and this time the three reverses will send 40,000 main forces to help, we must eat it in one fell swoop."

Now that the scorching heat is coming, the northerners are unbearable, the time is in me, our army should seize the opportunity, take advantage of the decline in its combat power, and fight with it as soon as possible! If it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the Manchu chieftain will send Wu Sangui or draw reinforcements to the south, and the battle will not be easy to fight! ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Youlang looked at the other generals: "What about you?" That's what it means? ”

"Your Majesty, yes!"

Seeing that Jiao Lian and Wu Jisi had won two battles, the analysis was still quite pertinent, and there was no complacency and pride like in the battle of Qingyuan, Guangdong, Zhu Youlang nodded with relief.

"The two Aiqing said it well! Kong Youde and a few people, the old treacherous and slippery, he rescued Yiyang, only brought 40,000 people, and he personally commanded more than 30,000 troops to sit in Yuezhou City, obviously not desperate, most of them in order to leave a way back for themselves.

He thought that 40,000 horses were enough to break the siege, but he committed the taboo of dividing the troops, if its 70,000 or 80,000 main forces were always in a group, we would really not be able to eat them for a while, now it's okay, since he divided the troops again, let's have a lion Bo Rabbit, do the best of the main force, besiege the city and send reinforcements, and strive to annihilate the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Tartars under Yiyang City in one fell swoop!
