Chapter 85: A dilemma

"Qin Liangyu spared Wanxian and went straight to the capital city of Kuizhou?" Hearing Bai Qian say this, Yang Ming, who was a little unexpected, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, Gongzi, Qin Liangyu led 30,000 officers and troops through the jungle, and after bypassing Wanxian, he directly divided his troops into two routes, and captured Liangshan and Xinning one after another along the way, and forced my Dongxiang County along the direction of Kaixian; The other way recaptured the important town of Yunyang County in a surprise attack, and has now reached Majiaping, which is less than three days away from the capital city of Kuizhou! ”

This is the first time Bai Qian has reported bad news to Yang Ming, and his expression is very serious and cautious, he is afraid that Yang Ming will be angry because of this.

But Yang Ming just smiled after hearing this, and then turned to Shang Daoxing and said: "Lord Shang is right, this old general Qin is really worthy of being a famous general on the battlefield of the old Chengmou country, and he actually turned the dead situation into a living situation, which made my Han army lose the initiative in the war, and thus turned into a passive state!" ”

Shang Daoxing just smiled back faintly, he, like Yang Ming, didn't expect this Qin Liangyu to act so quickly. But he didn't know what to say, and he even regretted that he had been too hasty to join the Han family's army, but he also knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger and turn back. Therefore, he could only put aside the idea of returning to the court for the time being, and secretly pondered how to help the Han army save the day.

Seeing that Shang Dao didn't speak, Yang Ming didn't say anything, he thought that he would be able to block Qin Liangyu with the fortress of Wanxian, and then send a large army south to encircle it after occupying the capital city of Kuizhou, forcing Qin Liangyu to retreat, but he didn't expect that this Qin Liangyu would not follow his routine at all.

Moreover, what Yang Ming didn't expect was that this Qin Liangyu not only spared Wanxian, but also forced himself into a dilemma.

Because the purpose of Qin Liangyu sending two armies to attack Dongxiang County and Kuizhou Fucheng at the same time was to force himself to make a choice, or abandon Kuizhou Fucheng and return to Dongxiang County to protect his lair, after all, Dongxiang County's defense is now empty, and it can't be stopped by the three targets left behind; Either abandon Dongxiang County and keep the city, but Yang Ming is definitely unwilling to take the latter, because in Yang Ming's eyes, the value of Dongxiang County is more important than that of Kuizhou Prefecture, where there is both a quasi-modern industrial system and a foundation for reform, even ten Kuizhou Prefectures are not worth Dongxiang County. Perhaps, Qin Liangyu also guessed this, so he chose this trick of the tiger.

It's just that it is a little difficult for Yang Ming to give up the capital city of Kuizhou, after all, he led the Han army to fight for several months in order to expand the results of the battle and take the opportunity to grow; If you give up the capital city of Kuizhou, won't all your efforts be in vain, and Yang Ming is not willing to succumb to a small county town all the time.

"It is worthy of the handiwork of a famous general, such a tactical arrangement is perfect!" Yang Ming couldn't help but praise again. But thinking about it, although Yang Ming, as a modern soldier, has the essence of thought summed up by thousands of years of military strategists, and also knows how to train elite soldiers and strong generals, there is still a big gap between him and these famous generals in actual combat.

It can be said that as long as Yang Ming is not careful, he will be led by the nose by these famous generals, or even trampled under his feet, although he knows how to develop the future of war, so he is strategically much higher than that of his contemporaries, but the so-called strategy is also achieved by wise and ingenious tactics. Therefore, Yang Ming still has a long way to go in the future, and there are still many things that he needs to learn and summarize.

"I can't be led by the nose by General Qin, since she dares to take risks alone, can't I take risks alone and live to the death?" Yang Ming couldn't help but ask himself, and then stood motionless in front of a map, the map is like a chessboard, every fortress is a key point, if you want to play a good game of chess, you still have to find the answer from the chessboard, and similarly, if you want to fight a good battle, you have to go to the map to find fighters.

From the moment Bai Qian came in, the whole room was quiet, and no one spoke, although Yang Ming sometimes said a few words to himself, but no one answered him. Since he didn't get Yang Ming's instructions, Bai Qian couldn't leave, and although the Shang Governor intended to show off, he didn't dare to say much because he couldn't think of any countermeasures after thinking about it for a long time.

However, Yang Ming himself suddenly asked: "What about the troops we are stationed in these counties?" ”

"According to your initial instructions, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the official army, the gendarmerie directly under the command and the Han army stationed in Liangshan, Yunyang and other counties have withdrawn to Dongxiang County", Bai Qian replied and asked: "Do you want them to change the direction of retreat to rush to the aid of Kuizhou Fucheng." ”

"No need, the military police brigade directly under the county and these Han soldiers stationed in the county town add up to less than 2,000 people, it is futile to reinforce the Kuizhou Mansion, and it is very likely to be ambushed by Qin Liangyu, let them withdraw to Dongxiang County, which is also just to alleviate the defensive emptiness of Dongxiang County", Yang Ming said and asked: "What about Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, we occupy the Kuizhou capital city, what is his reaction?" ”

"Speaking of which, the current situation is forced out by the governor of Sichuan, he was so anxious when he heard that we had occupied the city of Kuizhou, so he simply asked the flag of the king's order to force Qin Liangyu to break the city within three days and recapture the city of Kuizhou as soon as possible, Qin Liangyu had no choice but to make this dangerous move, and took 30,000 people through the jungle, if it weren't for the white pole soldiers who were familiar with mountain warfare, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get out!"

"That's it, we might as well let this governor force Qin Liangyu again", Yang Ming said and smashed his fist on the map, bounced up the dust of a table.

Seeing that Yang Ming was so excited, he also guessed that Yang Ming must have an idea in his heart, so he hurriedly came up with a plan according to the meaning of what Yang Ming just said, and said one step ahead of Yang Ming: "Xia Guan also thought of it." ”

"Oh, Lord Shang, let's talk about it?"

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, we might as well send an elite army to infiltrate Shunqing Mansion immediately, arrest Governor Chen Shiqi, and then use the governor's warrant to force Qin Liangyu to lead a large army to Shunqing Mansion, so that the siege of Kuizhou will not be solved?" The business road is complacent.

Yang Ming smiled slightly and asked: "Lord Shang has read too much of the legendary script, let's not talk about whether he can catch Chen Shiqi, even if he does, do you think Qin Liangyu will definitely rush back to Shunqing Mansion immediately, can't she delay for a day or two more, and return to Shunqing Mansion after capturing Kuizhou Mansion?" ”

Shang Daoxing stopped talking, and seeing that what he guessed was not the same as Yang Ming, he had to bow down and say, "I am willing to listen to the teachings of the son." ”

"Let me ask you, Chongqing Mansion or Kuizhou Mansion, which is more important?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.

"Needless to say, it is naturally Chongqing Mansion, which is the first gateway to Chengdu, and the first important town in eastern Sichuan, rich in products, with the Yangtze River as a barrier and Tianfu as the backing, whoever gets this city is equivalent to getting the whole Sichuan!"

When Bai Qian saw Yang Ming ask like this, he thought that Yang Ming was going to abandon Kuizhou and directly seize Chongqing Mansion, and then use Chongqing Mansion as a base to develop and grow, and his mind suddenly became lively.

However, Shang Daoxing persuaded with some concern: "Gongzi still has to think twice, this Chongqing city is tall, it is easier to defend and difficult to attack than Kuizhou Mansion, even if it is captured, it is difficult to occupy it for a long time, Extravagant Chongming in the Apocalypse and Zhang Xianzhong a few years ago have not been able to gain a foothold in Chongqing Mansion, and our Han army is afraid that it will be difficult to support it." ”

"Okay, Mr. Shang doesn't need to say much, this son has his own plans!" Although Yang Ming pretended to be close to Shang Dao Xing on the surface, it was not good to talk to Shang Dao Xing when it came to military secrets, after all, no one guaranteed that this Shang Dao Xing was not the second Guan Jiaren, so Yang Ming blocked Shang Dao Xing's sentence back, and said: "Let's go, we will go to Qu Tangwei immediately!" ”
