Two days later, in Fengyang Mansion, Anhui Province, the four gates of the city were all Qilin Army, guarding the key roads of Fengyang City, strictly checking the entry and exit of personnel, and there were teams of soldiers patrolling the streets, or Qilin Army, or Kongtong Army, to maintain law and order in Fengyang City.

Although Fengyang City was taken for less than two days, under Chao Sheng's strong and high-pressure means, when the city was broken, five thousand Eight Banner soldiers were slaughtered in one fell swoop, and the blood flowed like a river, completely deterring the people in the city.

In particular, those businessmen, businessmen, acted the most quickly, because some bosses acted a little later, and they were arrested and imprisoned for various reasons, and after confiscating their property, they were released, and although they kept their braids, they had no property and became beggars.

All of a sudden, after some bloody and high-pressure methods of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, who in Fengyang City would dare to keep braids? Who would dare to joke with their own net worth?

Therefore, in just two days after entering the city, almost all the men in Fengyang City cut off their braids, and stayed in the city in fear and anxiety, not daring to escape. In this chaotic era, there are rebel forces everywhere, leaving the big city, without the protection of the army, at any time there is a threat of death, and the corpse is in the wilderness.

In Fengyang City, these rebels called the Kongtong Army and the Qilin Army did not do anything out of the ordinary except to cut off their braids, all of which were aimed at the imperial court. What's more, the vast majority of people have already cut off their braids, no matter what the considerations, or for the sake of their lives, why should they flee out of the city in a short period of time?

With the company shuttling around, wandering away from Fengyang Mansion, punishing poison in the mountains and villages, black-hearted landlords and bullies, and implementing the rural policy formulated by Yang Lin, from the overall situation, the army led by Chao Sheng has initially won the hearts of the people and gradually gained a firm foothold.

At this time, in the yamen of the prefect of Fengyang Mansion, in the hall, Chao Sheng and all the generals gathered together to discuss things, about the military and political affairs of Fengyang Mansion and the next actions.

"Everyone, we have entered Anhui and taken Fengyang Mansion for a few days, although we have stabilized the situation in Fengyang Mansion and gradually gained a firm foothold, but our actions are a little procrastinating, too wasteful of time, compared to the actions south of the Yangtze River, our attack speed can be called turtle speed, too slow, and it is not like our army's fighting style, fine tradition."

Although Chao Sheng said calmly, the generals heard it, and his words were full of dissatisfaction, and he was more eager to act like a horse and a flat river, rather than fighting like now, unable to show his skills, unable to fight happily, and always looking forward and backward.

Everyone knows that the army commander has this temper, although he is a little frizzy, but in matters of right and wrong, especially in matters related to the overall situation, the program of action formulated by the marshal, the army commander is still calm and rational, the reason why there are such words is just to complain, to vent the depression in his chest, and that's it.

Even so, Guo San, who was sitting on the upper seat on one side, still got up and stood up, saluted a military salute, and said calmly: "Report to the army commander, this is also a matter of no choice, it is not necessary to be in the area south of the Yangtze River, where we have been operating for many years, the foundation is better, the army only needs to be responsible for attacking the city and plundering the land, and someone will be responsible for cleaning up, taking care of the aftermath, dealing with the affairs of the city, and being responsible for the finish." ”

"Of course I know this, after crossing the river, all the way to fight, every time I capture a city, I must completely take over the military and political defense of the city, and I must stabilize the occupied land and win the hearts of the people, so that I can control the territory in my hands, if there is no early governance, it is easy to have a chaotic situation, which will be very unfavorable to the next action, I understand these things. However, what I want to say is that any of you have any ideas that can improve the current situation, so that we can let go of our hands to fight with the Qing army, and no longer be so twisted and pinched, like an old woman. Chao Sheng was a little impatient.

Hearing this, Guo San shook his head and had no idea, so he had to return to his seat and no longer speak.

At this time, Hou Xiangnan, the leader on the other side, suddenly stood up, and said straightly: "Commander, how about you see us taking a blitzkrieg?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the reactions of everyone in the hall were divided into two groups, one wave looked confused, and the other wave was bright, and Chao Sheng was the same, and then asked urgently: "Blitzkrieg?" Commander Guo, how are you going to carry out the blitzkrieg? ”

At this moment, among the many generals, only those who have experienced Yang Lin's systematic military training know the meaning of the blitzkrieg, that is, these people's eyes are bright, as for Guo San, who defected in the later stage, of course he doesn't know, and he can't understand the conversation between the two.

Even so, the generals represented by Guo San couldn't understand, although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't say much, and did not interrupt the conversation between the two, but waited, waiting for Guo San to tell further, and the next conversation would relieve the doubts in their hearts.

"Commander, I think so, we can divide the troops into two roads, one is responsible for attacking the city and grabbing the land in front, and the other is responsible for cushioning the rear and stabilizing the rear, instead of being like now, the soldiers are divided into two roads, acting at the same time, and the two wings are deployed, so that although the momentum of the horns is formed, and we go hand in hand, it also restricts our hands and feet, restricts our actions, and greatly reduces the speed of attack."

"If we adjust according to the strategy I said, because the troops in front have no scruples and specialize in killing, in this way, the speed of the offensive will increase several times, and the battle will proceed even faster."

Guo San's eloquent talk attracted all the generals to nod frequently and initially approved the plan. However, Chao Sheng, whose eagerness disappeared, did not vote, and did not immediately agree to Guo San's proposal, but groaned and thought about it.

Seeing this situation, everyone stopped and held their breath, and no one dared to speak, because they knew deeply that the current army commander was thinking about something, and in this case, no one dared to disturb Chao Sheng's thoughts.

Because, once this situation arises, the commander will leave everyone aside and think deeply alone, he must be thinking about something very important. Otherwise, it would not have been lost in thinking at such an important military meeting.

Gradually, the hall became quieter and quieter, Guo San didn't dare to sit down, his body was frozen there, he was afraid that when he sat down, he would make any movement and disturb the military commander.

Everyone was holding their breath, sitting straight with their backs, not daring to gasp for a breath, waiting, and at this time Chao Sheng, his brows were sometimes wrinkled, sometimes stretched, and suddenly, the light in his eyes became blazing, more and more crystalline, and when everyone was tense in their heartstrings, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and said to himself loudly and excitedly: "Haha, I know what to do, I know what to do!" ”

Repeated twice in a row, although the generals did not know what Chao Sheng was talking about, they knew that once the army commander had such a look, he must have thought of some plan to change the current situation.

The mood was flying, fleeting, and before everyone had time to ask for advice, Chao Sheng couldn't wait to speak: "Hehe, I'm really confused by the war, everyone, we can do this, divide the 50,000 cavalry soldiers into four roads, each with 12,500 people, based on Fengyang Mansion, march on all sides, and be responsible for attacking Anqing Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Yingzhou Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion respectively. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden sensation, which made the generals below surprised, surprised, and enjoyed the change in everyone's expressions, Chao Sheng paused slightly, and said again: "Then, 100,000 infantry left 20,000 in Fengyang Mansion, and the others are divided into four roads, and 20,000 infantry are equipped for each cavalry, and they will press the formation in the rear. ”

Guo San was the first to react, and when he saw Chao Sheng pause again, he seemed to be too excited, and he didn't see that the army commander was selling Guanzi, so he answered without any scruples: "In this way, the cavalry of the Fourth Route Army is like a sharp knife, relying on the speed of the wind and lightning, with the momentum of thunder, quickly break through the city, and then, the infantry behind will follow, decisively take over the city, according to this speed, within half a month, you can take the entire Anhui, the border between Hubei and Henan, you can wave your army at any time to continue to advance, and capture one of the provinces at will!" ”

At this moment, even the generals who were slow to react completely understood that when the commander's hand could be said to be ruthless, the point was that the soldiers were fast, with the speed of the cavalry and the advantage of the weapons, the four-way cavalry pulled out the camp and captured the village is not like playing.

As long as the timing is right, while the enemy is unprepared and has not yet reacted, the cavalry can completely seize control of the city gate in the blink of an eye, so as to drive straight into the city, there is no problem at all.

After figuring out the key crux of the matter, while secretly admiring Chao Sheng, his heart was also surging with high spirits, and he was excited, eager to immediately get ready to serve as the commander of one of the cavalry. In a trance, as if he had a bamboo in his chest, he had already won various state capitals. (To be continued.) )
