East, west, north and south, where are you going? In order to choose the direction of the breakthrough, Zhao Daorong and Zhang Shifang quarreled again......

Wang Lifu didn't quarrel with them, but he very resolutely stated that he would either go to the north or to the east, whoever likes to go to the south and the west, he won't go anyway, it's a big deal to break up in two, don't break through this split, everyone will die together!

After saying his request, Wang Lifu closed his mouth tightly, and let Zhao Daorong and Zhang Shifang roar angrily, just without saying a word, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Li Chengdong stopped them and said, "It's not a way to quarrel like this, let's draw lots." ”

Zhao Daorong's eyes suddenly widened, and he slapped Li Chengdong's shoulder heavily: "Okay!" , This method is good, just the damn lottery, life and death are in their own destiny, no matter who draws where, no regrets! ”

In the military tent, there was a bang, a pair of ivory dominoes fell on the table, and four cards were selected from the middle, corresponding to the four directions of "east, west, north and south", and they were ready to draw lots.

Everyone is a master on the card field, there is a whole set of ways to prevent out of the thousand, such as this deck of cards is provided by Zhao Daorong, he will shuffle the cards himself, but the last draw, he is not afraid of his tricks.

Zhao Daorong did not shirk, walked to the table, first put the other domino yards neatly, and put them next to them, so as not to let someone steal the cards and change the cards, and then stretched out two big hands, kneaded the remaining four dominoes, washed them back and forth a few times, suddenly snapped, and became a neat row.

"Whoever comes first, Lao Tzu is waiting for you to pick first!"

Zhang Shizhu and Wang Lifu looked at each other, but neither answered. The two of them have been playing pai gow for twenty or thirty years, but they have never played such a big one, and they both unconsciously want to be cautious. Let others pick first.

Zhao Daorong turned to Li Chengdong and shouted: "Lao Li, if you come up with an idea, you will come to make the first fire!" ”

Li Chengdong nodded, walked to the table and stopped, and looked at the four dominoes carefully, as if he was hesitant. It took a long time to slowly stretch out his hand, but it was less than a foot away from the dominoes, and he stopped again.

Zhang Shifang and Wang Lifu had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Screaming and urging loudly, Zhang Shi's mouth was not clean, and Zhao Daorong was also very dissatisfied, pouting and scolding: "Lao Li." How do you act like a? Hurry up! ”

Li Chengdong looked at him. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pushed all four dominoes again.

"What do you mean ......?!" Zhao Daorong's face changed, and he was about to be angry.

"Forget it, reshuffle the cards, and pick out 'Nan'." Li Chengdong's tone was light, as if he had just made up his mind, and he was relieved.

"Pick out the 'south'. So who walks the south side? Zhao Daorong couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

"I'll go south." Li Chengdong turned around. Facing Zhang Shizhu and Wang Lifu, who were also inexplicable, he asked, "I volunteered to go south, do you have any opinions?" ”

Li Chengdong voluntarily chose "South", and the next draw was much simpler. Zhang Shifang picked the "north", Wang Lifu picked the "east", they were all very good and good signs, leaving Zhao Daorong with a relatively poor "west", as the organizer of the draw, he also shuffled the cards with his own hands, although Zhao Daorong was not very satisfied, he could not find a reason to regret it.

Time was pressing, they didn't care about saying anything, and each went back to the camp to prepare, but they all had a question in their hearts, why did Li Chengdong take the initiative to choose "South"?

……

Although it was winter, the ground in the south still had a certain temperature, and just a few days after the snowstorm, the snow on the ground was basically finished, and only a few shades that did not see the sun all day still had some residual snow.

Smoke and dust were billowing on the fields, and Wang Kefan led an army of 50,000 and was rushing to the bank of the Gan River.

On the middle avenue, the cavalry rushed back and forth, the cattle and vehicles formed a long line, and the infantry lined up in several long columns, walking quickly in the fields on both sides of the avenue, and if a traverser drove an airplane by, you could see a magnificent scene in the air, and tens of thousands of troops converged into a torrent, breaking through the desolate winter fields, overcoming thorns and thorns, and heading straight to the north!

Along with the Chu army, there were also 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangxi Province, led by Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi and Fujian.

Because of the cold lips and teeth, Wan Yuanji did his best to rescue Nanchang, and his Ganzhou sailors were even wiped out. After paying such a huge price, it was easy to win this battle, and you have to follow the Chu army to share some military merits, right?

Although this battle was mainly won by the Chu army, Wan Yuan Ji did make a lot of effort, and Wang Kefan took him with him. After the victory in the Battle of Nanchang, the Chu army will further intervene in Jiangxi and turn it into a second base area, and how to get along with local forces such as Wan Yuan Ji and Jin Shenghuan is a new topic.

Wan Yuan Ji can also ride horses, but his riding skills are not perfect, and he has not gone through such a long-term, high-intensity march, he is tired and out of breath, and the soldiers and horses under his command are also crooked and oblique, and the wolf is unbearable, and he fell far behind the Chu army and was thrown off a large section.

Urging the horse to catch up with Wang Kefan, Wan Yuan Ji said: "Yuntai, we have been walking for a whole day, do you want to take a rest?" My people can't keep up. ”

"No! The cavalry of the Tartars is powerful, the West Cavalry Battalion and the Jiang Cavalry Battalion are not their opponents, and they may not be able to save the Yuezhou Battalion, and they can't be delayed for a moment! ”

The Yuezhou battalion is an old unit of the Chu army, because the shape of the battlefield suddenly changed, so they took the risk of acting as bait, although Wang Kefan didn't say anything, he actually kept worrying about his heart. As the old saying goes, "If you can't bear the child, you can't catch the wolf", but such an exchange is contrary to human nature, in Wang Kefan's opinion, the child must not be his own.

The Yuezhou battalion is his descendant army, the main force in the Chu army, so after Wang Kefan eliminated Lin Guangyuan, he immediately went straight to the rescue, and the whole army rushed to rescue the Yuezhou battalion, even if he scared away the evil wolf of Tunbuer, he did not hesitate.

Wang Kefan proposed a compromise proposal: "If the Gan army can't keep up, it's better to slow down, and I'll take the Chu army first." ”

It was the critical moment of picking fruits, of course Wan Yuan Ji was unwilling to fall behind, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then don't use, let's follow first, we really can't keep up and ......."

He had just said that two fast horses came from the front army, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the front, and the two generals were in the dust, and they were messengers sent by the Xiqi Battalion and the Jiang Cavalry Battalion to report the news.

"After the two military gates arrived, Tunbur fled by boat, and the Yuezhou battalion had been relieved of the siege......"

The two generals complemented each other and reported in detail the course of the battle, and heard that the Western Cavalry Battalion and the Jiang Cavalry Battalion had been defeated for a while, but Wang Kefan did not have any words of reproach, but praised Ti Zhaorong and Wang Meng a few words - to fight a battle, you must be flexible and mobile, you can't be brutal, the 2,000 cavalry of the Chu army is lightly armed and rushed, and the strength is not superior, even if the task is completed if you save the Yuezhou battalion, there is no need to fight hard with the Eight Banners who are good at cavalry and archery.

The overall situation has been decided, Wang Kefan suddenly felt relaxed, and ordered: "Find a suitable place in front, the army will have a good meal, and rest for an hour." ”

When the soldiers of the Chu army picked up the hot meal, the Jiangxi army caught up from behind, and when it was finally time to rest, the Jiangxi army immediately sat on the ground with a brush, staggering.

After the tension was removed, Wang Kefan was in a good mood and happily invited Wan Yuan Ji to taste the marching meal of the Chu army.

Salted pork and dried vegetables and bamboo tube rice, Wan Yuanji has never eaten so sweet, after eating, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and asked with concern: "Although Tun Bu'er ran away, he still left thousands of green camp tartars, what is Yuntai's plan?" ”

"Of course you can't let them go!"

Wang Kefan thought about it for a while, and replied with a smile: "The Tartar sailors will not be able to come back until at least tomorrow morning, and this group of green battalion soldiers will definitely not be able to wait for that time, if my estimate is good, they will break through separately after dark, and our army should also divide their troops in advance and prepare to intercept them." This kind of water dog is the most enjoyable, I don't know if Wan Dufu is interested, pick a fat one to taste? ”

Wan Yuan Ji also smiled, and waved his hand again and again: "Hey, the teeth of the Gan army are not as good as the Chu army, the fat ones belong to you, just leave me a thin dog that is easy to deal with." ”

Rengui is self-aware, Wang Kefan has a good impression of him, thinks about it carefully, and says: "Tan Tai is in Fengcheng County, the main force of the green battalion will definitely run north, but other directions will also break through." In this way, the Gan army will be in charge of the south, I estimate that there should be one or two thousand Qing troops in the south, and Wan Dufu should not be too little. ”

"It's quite a lot, just right!" Wan Yuan Ji is very satisfied.

His family knows his own affairs, and Wan Yuan Ji knows very well that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangxi army is very average, especially not good at field and night battles.

"Then it's decided!" Wang Kefan nodded, and then instructed: "If the Green Camp Tartars go south, they will inevitably fall into a heavy siege, and in the end they can only rely on the sailors to respond, and Wan Dufu only needs to strictly guard the river bank, and they will not be able to escape......

After resting for a while, the Chu army went out again, divided into several divisions, and acted separately, Wang Kefan personally led the Gongyi battalion and the baggage troops, went to join the Yuezhou battalion, and sent the Ji'an battalion and other troops to set up layers of ambushes in the east, west and north directions.

Wan Yuan Ji led 10,000 Gan troops and followed behind the Chu army. Their journey is the closest, and the task is the lightest, so it is very easy, Wan Yuan Ji is even a little suspicious, the south is a dead end, does the Qing army really dare to come?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and called a cronie named Diao Youmou to discuss countermeasures.

Diao Youmou listened to him and immediately shouted: "Lord Governor's suspicion is good, this must be Wang Junmen's plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, I'm afraid that we will rob Chu Jun of the credit!" ”

"Oh, what can I do? I've already received the general's order, and I can't change it anymore! Wan Yuan Ji regretted it very much, he came all the way to it, but he was put aside by Wang Kefan's little trick, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water. (To be continued......)
