Chapter 112: Unconvinced Generals
"Miss Plug must have her intention to do this, and didn't she tell us to attack Wuchang, General Tan, you also know, this Wuchang City is Zuo Liangyu's lair, and its military status is no less than Kaifeng City in the Central Plains, and now Zuo Liangyu's army is outside, and we have Zuo Mengeng's bargaining chip in our hands, why can't we break through Wuchang City, and once Wuchang City is broken, it will inevitably cause a shock to the imperial authorities, and then the siege of Kuizhou will be solved, isn't it?"
Lei Long and Tan Wen, the servants of the seventh battalion, have been working together for several months, from the beginning of taking the new fifth battalion to suppress bandits to now commanding the seventh battalion, the two have always been military and political partners, seeing that Tan Wen was complaining all the way, Lei Long had to persuade and explain.
Tan Wen naturally listened to Lei Long's explanation, but he still couldn't help but stomp his feet and said: "I know all this, but now that we finally arrived at De'an Mansion, why does she want us to go back." ”
"This, I don't know, when the meeting is over, I think Miss Block will give us an explanation", as soon as Lei Long finished speaking, he saw a messenger in brocade clothes running over, ordering all the soldiers to rest on the spot, and asked Tan Wen and Lei Long to go to discuss the matter immediately.
At this time, Bai Qian and Liu Hei were already standing on the left and right of Plug Xiaoyuan, who was wearing a feather white coat, standing under a gray lotus, with an indifferent expression, and rubbing his hands from time to time, and said: "It's really cold on this mountain, but I heard you Yang Gongzi say that if the altitude in the mountain is increased by 1,000 meters, the temperature will drop by six degrees, and I don't know if he is right." ”
"What altitude and temperature, Miss Du, let's talk about Wuchang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion, we don't like to fight back now, it's like playing in the mountains and rivers, and it's not like playing in the mountains and rivers, the soldiers have been dragged down to the extreme, and if they continue like this, they will have to be dragged to death sooner or later!"
As Xiao Yuan was talking, Tan Wen walked over and answered with a complaint. Du Xiaoyuan and other people from Hanjia Village have learned a lot of modern and modern natural science knowledge around Yang Ming, and they are no strangers to the terms of climatology and geography, but Tan Wen and other newcomers who have joined the Han Army not long ago are not very clear about this, and they are even more resentful when they see that Du Xiaoyuan is so idle.
Du Xiaoyuan didn't care about it, just smiled, and said: "General Tan, why is he so angry, I know that these days, everyone's continuous march is indeed a little hard, but I don't complain about a weak woman, if you are resentful, wouldn't it be shameful for you to be angry, I wanted to take the soldiers to attack Wuchang at first, but now I have changed my attention, why change my attention, I don't think I need to explain to you, you just need to perform the task, I know that you have a great opinion of me in your hearts, But I can't help it, I'm your boss now, and obeying orders is the first military rule of the Han army, and I don't think you will violate it, right? ”
"You!" Tan Wen is already over forty years old, but now he is being commanded by a person who can be his daughter, which makes him really angry, but then he can't help it again, he knows very well how strict the military discipline of the Han family army is, even if Lan Guanwei, Cao Laosan and other founders of the Han family army have been punished, he does not dare to risk his life. The other generals who were not convinced by blocking Xiaoyuan saw that Tan Wen did not have a seizure, although they were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to have a seizure, and they all held back.
Seeing this, Du Xiaoyuan just smiled lightly, she always remembered that Yang Ming's instructions to her were to use this strange army to create a miracle effect in Huguang, and the first miracle effect she wanted to give Yang Ming was a surprise attack on Wuchang, which must be said to be a crazy move, and it was also a crazy move with a great possibility of realization.
It is precisely because of this that the generals of the second and seventh battalions have endured until now, but sometimes, no matter how clever a military strategist is, he cannot predict the changes in the battlefield situation, not to mention that she is just congenitally intelligent and has no actual command experience, and sometimes she can only make changes according to the changes in the situation.
Because the Han army in Kuizhou lost the city too quickly, the court officials and soldiers who entered the suppression mistakenly thought that the Han thieves had been greatly injured, so that even the Chen Dadu, who had always liked a slow-paced life like most people in Shu, suddenly became acute, and suddenly rushed to Jingmen County, which caused Xiao Xiaoyuan's vigilance, prompting her to suspend the plan of a surprise attack on Wuchang, and urgently ordered the second and seventh battalions that had entered De'an Mansion to choose a small road to return to Jingzhou Mansion.
Gu Xiaoyuan had to do this, as a member of the trio, of course she knew Yang Ming's true intentions, but now is not the time to carry out a counteroffensive against the left army, if at this time, Chen Yan and other more than 100,000 officers and troops suddenly enter the territory of Kuizhou, it will undoubtedly cause huge pressure on Yang Ming's plan to arrange a total annihilation of the left army, and even make Yang Ming's plan stillborn, so she must give Chen Yan a blow to the head before Chen Yan enters Kuizhou, so that he does not dare to enter the territory of Kuizhou, Sichuan.
It is true that there is no need to explain more to his subordinates, although the grievances of these generals are getting bigger and bigger, but this is also the time to sharpen their military quality, so Du Xiaoyuan will not go painstakingly to explain to every real power general, sometimes as a subordinate, there are opinions can only be reserved, but absolutely not overstepping the line and messing up the command order. Moreover, Du Xiaoyuan also clearly remembered that Yang Ming once said to her that as long as she led her subordinates to win constantly, sometimes they didn't have to say anything, they would obey orders, and all her subordinates had to do was to obey orders unconditionally.
Due to the existence of Liu Hei and Bai Qian and other members of the main members of the Han army, Tan Wen and the others could only endure it secretly, and it was not until they came to Jingmen County that Du Xiaoyuan told them the ultimate goal. At this moment, Tan Wen and the others knew that Blocking Xiaoyuan was going to take them to attack Chen Hongfan and Fang Guoan and other officials and soldiers, but there were nearly 200,000 officers and troops in this force, and the soldiers of the two battalions were only more than 10,000 and they were already exhausted from the continuous march for months.
"Aren't the officers and soldiers tired when we are tired, and the physical strength of our soldiers may still be above them, what if there are many of them, I don't want to annihilate them all, do you know how the wolf kills the bison, just one word 'consumption', consume the prey to death, and run up to bite it if you don't pay attention, so that the prey is consumed step by step, and now the soldiers of our two battalions are this wolf, and the official army is this huge bison, what we have to do is to consume him, let him linger until we are defeated!"
Plug Xiaoyuandan's lips opened slightly, and the wave of her red sleeves revealed not the gentle breath of a Jiangnan woman, but the temperament of vertical and horizontal sloppiness and staring at the world, and even Zuo Mengeng was shocked by its momentum. However, he didn't dare to have any covetousness for Du Xiaoyuan like he did at the beginning, and he didn't expect that this gentle and amiable beauty was actually the head of the thief, if he had known, it would be to kill him, and he wouldn't dare to provoke Du Xiaoyuan, and now when he saw Du Xiaoyuan's arrogant and cold look, he felt scared.
Zuo Mengeng now regrets that he had bad intentions towards Xiao Yuan, so that he was captured by her, and he changed himself from a son in fine clothes and food to a prisoner, climbing mountains and wading in rivers every day, and had to eat the hard-to-swallow nest ball. At first, he was still very resentful of Plug Xiaoyuan, clamoring for him to let Block Xiaoyuan be ravaged by tens of thousands of people once he was free. And now, he only hopes that he can rest a little longer and eat a few bites of meat, so he can shout "thank you, grandma".
……
The offensive and defensive battle in Yunyang County is still continuing, although Zuo Liangyu has let some of Jin Shenghuan's troops bypass Yunyang County and successively seize Liangshan, Xinning and other counties to form a semi-encirclement posture against Dongxiang, Yunyang, Kaixian and other places, but there are still nearly 100,000 left troops under Yunyang County frantically attacking Yunyang County. However, the three standards of the third battalion guarding Yunyang County have not yet reached the time when they cannot be defended, and Cao Laosan takes the brave soldiers out of the city from time to time to kill for a while, which can always ease the siege posture of the left army for a while.
Cao Laosan still has a set of defending the city, although there are almost not many people in Yunyang County who can be mobilized, but he took advantage of this, deliberately when the left army offensive was very fierce, gave up the city gate, let the left army rush in, rushed into the city gate of the vanguard of the left army before they had time to snatch the victory was suddenly rushed over by the Han army back, and at this time, the Han army ambushed outside the city gate also suddenly burst out, directly cut off the left army that rushed into the city gate, and immediately closed the city gate, The left army that was intercepted in the city was soon wiped out by the Han army.
For a while, the left army was dizzy, and the siege strategy was more stable, and the Han army was not in a hurry, and thought of some new ideas from time to time, although the number of casualties among the soldiers of the Han army was getting bigger and bigger, but so far, it was still possible to hold the city gate. However, just when Cao Laosan was full of confidence that he could defend for more than ten days, a messenger in brocade clothes found him and ordered: "General Lan has an order, and Cao Laosan, the general of the third battalion of the Han Army, immediately led the soldiers defending the city to abandon Yunyang County and retreat into the area of Hongmuling at the southern foot of Daba Mountain!" ”
"What! I want Lao Tzu to abandon Yunyang County! Cao Laosan, whose face was covered with blood, was so angry that he threw a boulder in his hand out of the city gate, and roared loudly: "Gongzi has asked Lao Tzu to guard here for ten days, and now it has only been seven days, what order is this Lan Guanwei blindly commanded, now Lao Tzu will abandon the city and withdraw, don't think that he is now the direct commander of the Kuizhou war, you can give orders to Lao Tzu at will, go back and tell him that although the number of the left army is large, the fighting spirit is not high, and the brothers of my third battalion can still guard him for ten days!" ”
"This is an order given by General Lan himself, does General Cao dare to disobey?" The brocade-robed messenger asked.
"Go to his general Lan and the female general, what if Lao Tzu doesn't obey, Li Sanwazi, you go back and tell the person surnamed Lan, don't talk about him Lan Guanwei, even if the son personally asked me to abandon the city now, Lao Tzu won't agree!"
Cao Laosan was extremely angry and directly shouted out the name of the brocade messenger, most of the brocade envoys established by Yang Ming were the most loyal and young veterans in the Han army, so Cao Laosan also recognized this brocade messenger.
However, this brocade-clothed messenger had quietly pulled out the double-edged dagger in his hand, and if Cao Laosan was at a loss for words, he would not hesitate to behead Cao Laosan.
