"It's still the same old saying, don't fight for the gains and losses of one city or one place, just hit the enemy's key points, and annihilate the enemy's living force is victory.

Therefore, when necessary, we can give up the county seat of Dongxiang. To put it bluntly, this time, in addition to exterminating us, the official army is to take back the county seat, and we don't have to blindly defend the city because we have few people, so we chose to move to annihilate the enemy. Since we want to move to annihilate the enemy, we must be prepared to abandon the county seat, so the first thing to do is to transfer the important materials in the county town to Hanjia Village and Zhangjiachang.

Zhangjiachang and Hanjia Village have established a complete defense system, which can be described as solid, only one target regular army needs to be left, and the rest of the main forces of the Han army will now begin to merge and start arranging how to implement the plan to destroy the enemy", Yang Ming said and said: "Bai Qian, you tell me the details of the officials and troops of the four imperial courts, we have to make sure that part is to be eaten first!" ”

"Yes, Childe!" After Bai Qian said, he said: "Zeng Ying's department has four generals, namely Yu Dahai, Li Zhanchun, Hu Mingfeng, and Liu Linchang;

Yu Dahai, who must be familiar to everyone, has been killed by us in Beacon Mountain.

But Yu Dahai is Zeng Ying's brother-in-law, so this time Zeng Ying threatened to say that he was here to seek revenge from the people of Dongxiang County, but in fact, he was looking for an excuse for robbery; But this Zeng Ying doesn't have much ability, the most timid and afraid, the last time Zhang Xianzhong traveled to the east of Sichuan, he only ran behind like Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong's general Ai Nengqi only used 3,000 people to break through his Wanxian County, he actually abandoned the city and fled, but this person is quite righteous and never abuses his subordinates. ”

Among the two generals who followed Zeng Yinglai this time, Hu Mingfeng was as timid and afraid as the commander and was good at sneaking around and shooting horses, but Li Zhanchun had quite the ability to command, and he had blocked the siege of more than 100,000 people by Zhang Xianzhong in Liangshan County.

And Zhao Ronggui and Zeng Ying are both hereditary military attachés, and they also became Chongqing generals because they are good at tying up their bosses, and they have a good relationship with Governor Chen Shiqi, but this person is not good at fighting, and even Zeng Ying is not as good, because Wanxian, an important place in eastern Sichuan, was taken away by Zeng Ying from him, and Zhao Ronggui's subordinate Tan Huan was cunning and abnormal, and he had repelled Zhang Xianzhong's Sun Kewang in Taiping County. ”

Because of Yang Ming's love for the history from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the Southern Ming Dynasty, although he does not know these generals of the Sichuan Army of the Ming Dynasty in detail, he also knows a few, such as Zhao Ronggui and Li Zhanchun, who later surrendered to the Qing army and became traitors, and became an executioner who assisted the Qing army in slaughtering Sichuan, among which there was Yu Dahai, but Yu Dahai had been killed by Yang Ming at this time.

However, the most hateful thing is Tan Huan.

This person is one of the thirteen Kuidong families of the Southern Ming Anti-Qing Base in the time and space where Yang Ming's previous life was located.

During the Yongli period, the Qing army was attacking Yunnan, the garrison of the Yongli Dynasty, and the thirteen families of Kuidong conspired to attack Chongqing in order to contain the Qing army.

However, when he was about to take advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army's strength to break through Chongqing, Tan Huan suddenly defected to the Qing army and killed his brother Tan Wen, which made Yuan Zongdi and other righteous troops almost annihilated, which also made the painstaking Chongqing offensive fall short, and also accelerated the fall of the Yongli court.

Yang Ming once read Mr. Gu Cheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" When he read this paragraph, what he hated the most was Tan Huan's rebellion, and now he came to this time and space but happened to become an opponent with this person, it can be said that from the emotional point of view, what he wants to solve most is this person, intellectually whether he should solve this person first, Yang Ming is still thinking.

"According to this, Li Zhanchun's department and Tan Harmonic's two departments are the most difficult to fight, and the other two commanders are not to be afraid, but this is not surprising, in the official army, it is common for meritorious people to not be promoted, but it is a common thing that some children of related families have taken advantage of it, which is also a reason for the military corruption of the current imperial court, in this case, we will capture the thief first and capture the king first and capture the two commanders alive!" Lan Guanwei has been in the border army, and he knows a lot about the internal affairs of the official army, and of course he hates it the most.

However, after thinking about it, Yang Ming vetoed Lan Guanwei's proposal, and said: "Sometimes, although picking up soft persimmons and pinching them is a good way, it will also leave hidden dangers, have you ever thought that we will not only face the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court in the future, we will naturally be punished for treason if we lose, if we win, will the imperial court give up, on the contrary, it is not only the Sichuan authorities who will exterminate us at that time, it is very likely that the imperial court will send a more elite number of officers and soldiers to exterminate us, and the pressure we will face will be greater at that time."

Therefore, if we want to survive, we must not only win, but also strengthen ourselves while winning, we have to copy the development model of Dongxiang County, copy it to Kaixian County, Wan County, Yunyang County, and even the entire Kuizhou Prefecture, and even the entire eastern Sichuan region, Sichuan, Huguang, etc., only in this way will we make the court afraid of us, how to make the court afraid of us, is to let him know that we are powerful.

As long as we annihilate the living forces of the imperial court, as long as we beat them into fear, they will know how powerful we are, so I decided to fight the strongest one first, and clean up this Tan Huan or Li Zhanchun, and see if the Sichuan authorities dare to despise us so much! ”

After Yang Ming said this, he turned away, picked up the teapot on the table and drank it. Here, Lan Guanwei and the others were deep in thought, they were digesting what Yang Ming had just said.

"Yes, Childe is right, defeat these two strongest, and when the time comes, it will be no problem to clean up the other officers and soldiers!"

"Okay, then gnaw the hard bones first, and then drink the soft soup!"

"In that case, let's discuss whether to hit Li Zhanchun or Tan Huan first."

……

Daning County, Sichuan Governor Chen Shiqi personally came here, and came to Chongqing General Zhao Ronggui to pick up the wind, said: "Ronggui, you are the most important general of this official, this time the thief must win the first credit, then I will naturally ask for credit for you to the imperial court, you also know that Chongqing General Qin Liangyu is old, sooner or later he will return to his hometown, but this Chongqing General Soldier must be inherited by someone, I have prepared the excerpt, just wait for your great achievement, and hand the excerpt up." ”

Zhao Ronggui heard this Chen Shiqi's words to take this opportunity to promote himself to the chief soldier of Chongqing, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly thinking that the tens of thousands of silver he had paid to this old guy had finally taken effect, so he hurriedly thanked and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Zhongcheng, the last general has already let the general Tan Huan lead five thousand elite soldiers to take a shortcut and go straight to Dongxiang County, and it is expected that the Han thieves will be defeated within half a month and take back Dongxiang County!" ”

Although Zhao Ronggui was very active, Zeng Ying, who was also a general, was not very active, and he simply used the excuse that there was a shortage of grain and grass, and Ge Qizuo, the commander of the patrol road, asked for 3,000 stone of grain, and looted the villages and towns near Kuizhou Mansion for three days before he casually drove in the direction of Liangshan County.

"General, Zhao Ronggui's vanguard has already arrived in Kaixian, and we must not hurry up, I am afraid that we will arrive in Kaixian more than ten days later than them, and this will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of," Li Zhanchun said.

"The surname Zhao is busy with promotion, what do you say that General Ben is going to follow and be busy, it is better to take advantage of this to make some fortune nearby, didn't Lord Ge let our soldiers divide into two ways to capture Xiashan Pass and Tieshan Pass, let's go to surround and not fight, under the pretext that the enemy is stubbornly resisting, and then we will simply collect some grain and grass for the imperial court nearby, women or something."

Zeng Ying said and shouted: "Tell the brothers, turn to the south, go to Xinning County to rob him for three or five days, let the people here see what will happen to kill my Zeng Ying's love general!" ”

Seeing this, Li Zhanchun just shook his head and said secretly: "It was the Han family thief who killed Yu Dahai, what does it have to do with the people of Xinning County." But Li Zhanchun didn't say anything more, and after arriving at Liangshan, he took 5,000 people and turned north to the direction of Xiashan Pass.

The officials and soldiers of the Four Routes did not take Yang Ming's Han army seriously, even if Guan Zhen, who escaped from Dongxiang County, told them the important news that the Han Army was well-trained and dared to fight, they didn't feel anything, so the four route armies didn't pay attention to anything on the march, and their self-confidence was bursting, completely forgetting the lesson left by Zhang Xianzhong at the beginning.
