Chapter 224: Ready
After Gao Biying learned that Xiang Luyang's side was safe, she returned to Zichang County with 30,000 cavalry overnight, and after going back, she told Hu Jinquan about the situation here, Hu Jinquan almost jumped up with excitement.
Although the two county towns are nothing in Xiang Luyang's eyes, but in a person like Hu Jinquan, who was born at the bottom of society, these two county towns are of great significance, with these two county seats, they can not only change the current living environment, but also bring them more security.
To tell the truth, Hu Jinquan and others rebelled, completely forced to helpless, if they can eat enough, who is willing to gamble with their own heads, if they can eat enough, who is willing to abandon their wives and children, and fight in the north and south all day long, if they can eat enough, who will be willing to become an executioner with blood on their hands.
When Li Zicheng received the order to send troops, it was already the second half of the month, although the order said that it was okay to send troops to Zichang before dawn tomorrow, but Li Zicheng knew that on the battlefield, time was important, so he did not do what the order said, but sent the troops out overnight.
Before dawn, at the gate of Zichang County, the reinforcements sent by Li Zicheng arrived, and after putting all the sergeants into the city, Gao Biying asked Hu Jinquan to accept all these soldiers, and did not send reinforcements to Xiang Luyang.
It turned out that after Gao Biying came back last night, she immediately drew out 20,000 infantry from Zichang and sent them to Tunliu overnight, and it is estimated that this will have already arrived in Tunliu.
After arranging a qiē, Gao Biying dressed neatly and began to patrol back and forth on the city wall.
Early the next morning, Xing Jiamu didn't feel too surprised when he learned that Tunliu was lost, because if it was him, he would also take Tunliu into his pocket, which is human nature.
Seeing that Xing Jiamu didn't react much when he learned that Tunliu was lost, He Yue said: "Tunliu is lost, so you don't worry about it at all?" ”
Xing Jiamu said: "Actually, it is not necessarily a bad thing to lose Tunliu, Xiang Luyang and their own troops are not very sufficient now, and now they have to divide their troops, which may be a good thing for us." ”
He Yue said: "It's best for you to discuss with Bai Heng and the others later, after all, they know more about marching and fighting than you." ”
Xing Jiamu said: "I know, I'm going to discuss this matter with them now!" ”
After Bai Heng and the others came to Xing Jiamu's big tent, Xing Jiamu briefly told them about the situation last night, and then said to everyone: "Now the situation is like this, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" ”
After Xing Jiamu finished speaking, these people, you look at me, I look at you, none of them spoke, not that they didn't know what to say, but they had never seen this form of conversation.
Xing Jiamu's current way of talking is completely the world he lived in, the mode of meeting, these people have never experienced it at all, they only know that when they ask themselves, what to say, or what they should do after others have arranged it, you have to let them say what they think, they can't accept it for a while.
After everyone saw the reaction, Xing Jiamu coughed and said, "Bai Heng, if you are me now, how you want to deal with this matter in front of you, say whatever you want, don't have any worries." ”
Bai Heng lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "If I am in charge now, I will attack Zichang County first, and after taking Zichang, the connection between Ansai and the direction of Tunliu will be broken, and when the time comes, we will surround Tunliu and not fight, only fight the reinforcements from the direction of Ansai, in this way, not only can we hit their morale, but also consume their troops." ”
"Their morale is damaged, and if there is a loss of troops, this rabble, if they want to recruit troops, it will become an extravagant hope, and then their rebel army will be self-defeating."
Xing Jiamu nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, then tell me, how do you want to fight the son?" ”
Bai Heng said: "We originally wanted to attack the east and west gates at the same time, and then feigned to attack the north gate, but at that time, it was because the tun was in our hands, and we had backups. ”
"But now that Tunliu is lost, we have no need to feint to attack the north gate, so we simply let go of the south gate and the north gate, leaving it for them to escape, once they want to escape, whether it is to return to Ansai or go to Tunliu, it will not have any impact on us."
"And there is another reason why I gave up the feint attack at the North Gate, that is, we have to guard against a sneak attack in the direction of Tunliu, judging from Xiang Luyang's arrangement in the past few days, this person is very good at sneak attack, so we can't give him this opportunity."
"Not only can't we give them this opportunity, but we also have to take advantage of his habit and hit him hard."
Xing Jiamu said: "Be specific." ”
Bai Heng said: "When we attack Zichang, we can divide two squads, each team of 10,000 people, let them go to Ansai and Tunliu to ambush Zichang on the road, once Zichang is in crisis, or Xiang Luyang sees that there is an opportunity to send troops, these two squads can play a role." ”
Xing Jiamu said: "10,000 people per team, isn't it a bit small?" ”
Bai Heng said: "It's hard to hide when there are too many people, and it's useless, the main purpose of my sending these two teams is to prevent sneak attacks, their main means of killing are traps, gunpowder and the like, there are not many opportunities to have a frontal conflict with the enemy, as long as these two teams can delay for a while after receiving the enemy, so as to leave some room for the large army to turn around." ”
Xing Jiamu nodded and said: "Very good, reasonable, and comprehensive, in this case, all the 150,000 people will be under your command in a while, Lu Zhiyong and Gao Hansong will cooperate with you, you are picking a few deputy generals from the Changzhi military camp, and it will be up to you today." ”
Bai Heng didn't expect Xing Jiamu to hand over the command of 150,000 people to his own hands so easily, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and stammered: "You mean, now the 150,000 people are under my command?" ”
Xing Jiamu smiled and said: "You do a good job, the number of people you will command in the future will be far more than this." ”
Kowtowed and thanked Xing Jiamu, and Bai Heng went to pick his lieutenant.
Stretched out his hand and handed it to Lu Zhiyong, and asked him to find a few clever Jinyi guards, go around from the secluded place, and then come from the main gate to announce the decree, he wants to justifiably take the military power of the Changzhi barracks.
Not long after Lu Zhiyong left, a group of brocade guards came outside the Changzhi military camp, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate just opened their mouths to ask what they were here for, and a brocade guard led by a whip hit the soldier's face, and then said arrogantly: "Hurry up and call Sikong Hai to come out to receive the order, delaying Lao Tzu's business, I will kill you!" ”
The soldier didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ran into the big tent and told Xing Jiamu about the matter.
Looking at the wound on the soldier's face, Xing Jiamu knew that this matter was done.
