Chapter 877: Fan Wencheng's Wisdom (2)

Involving the conquest of the matter, Jierharang will not ignore, the war is not a casual thing, involving the lives of many soldiers, facing the Jiangning battalion, is the emperor Taiji always emphasized, the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, if in command of the battle, a little careless, may cause heavy casualties.

"Master Fan, your analysis is really good, I admire it very much, then tell me, how to exterminate the Jiangning camp when the army arrives in Xuanzhou."

Fan Wencheng said so much before, obviously trying to win over the relationship, in this case, Zierharang does not need to be overly polite, as long as Fan Wencheng is willing to help himself sincerely, even if it is necessary, to shelter Fan Wencheng, there is no problem, besides, with Fan Wencheng's wisdom, if you want to gain a foothold in the Great Qing Kingdom, there will not be much of a problem, even if the Emperor Taiji returns to heaven, the Great Qing Kingdom needs such talents.

"Lord, the slave thinks that after arriving in Xuanzhou, the army can temporarily take a defensive position and not take the initiative to attack, the slave said this, it is by no means a request for the prince's passive defense, the emperor's original intention is to ask the prince and Prince Li's two-way army to work together to exterminate the Jiangning battalion sergeants stationed in Xuanzhou, but the emperor did not further clarify, who is the commander of the two-way army, this means that the prince and Prince Li are required to attack separately, Prince Li set out from Pyongyang, from the direction of Sumeru Island, to launch an attack on Xuanzhou, Wang Ye launched an attack on Xuanzhou from the direction of Tieshan, one front, one side, so that the Jiangning battalion sergeants stationed in Xuanzhou could not take care of the whole thing, and they had to try their best to deal with the army, so that the fighters could appear. ”

The terrain in the direction of Xuanzhou, Ji'er Harang has long been in mind, Fan Wencheng said. In Zilharang's mind, the general intention of the battle was outlined.

Zilharang nodded slightly.

"Lord Fan, you mean that Prince Li will definitely launch an attack from the direction of Sumeru Island, even if I contact Prince Li and use Iron Mountain as the direction of the frontal attack. I'm afraid that Prince Li will not agree, and he will definitely attack first, in this case, I might as well take a defensive position and bring Prince Li to attack from behind after the full battle between Prince Li and the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, and completely disrupt the deployment of the Jiangning battalion, is this what it means. ”

"That's exactly what the minions have in mind."

"That's a good idea, but there's one caveat. Isn't the Jiangning battalion guarding against us going for reinforcements? ”

"What the prince said is that the slave has thought about this problem, but the slave thinks that there are only 20,000 soldiers in the Jiangning battalion stationed in Xuanzhou, even if they have outstanding combat effectiveness, the strength is always insufficient, if the soldiers are divided into two ways, I am afraid that they will kill themselves. Once they fought with Prince Li's army, they would have the upper hand. Still unable to resist, they will choose to flee from the sea route, or retreat to Phi Dao, when Mao Wenlong insisted on Phi Dao for several years, the sergeant of the Jiangning Battalion believed that they could also insist. Under such circumstances, our army lacks warships, and I am afraid that we will not be able to exterminate them for a while. ”

"I see what you mean, that is, let go of the front. As long as the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion break through from the front, we do not need to worry, that is, to prevent the Jiangning battalion from escaping from the sea, so that our army needs to bypass the iron mountain and rush to the periphery of Phi Dao to block the route of the Jiangning battalion from escaping from the sea. ”

"That's right, Prince Li's attack from the direction of Sumeru Island has blocked a route for the Jiangning battalion to escape from the sea, and the prince has launched an attack from the periphery of Phi Island, so that the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion can only escape from the direction of Tieshan, once they are far away from the sea, they have no chance to escape."

Zilharang nodded, and waved his hand to signal his soldiers to bring the map immediately.

After the map was rolled out, Zilharang looked at the map carefully, Sumeru Island, Xuanzhou, Tieshan and Phi Dao are a quadrilateral figure, Xuanzhou is still a certain distance from Phi Island, that is to say, if the army detours from Tieshan to Phi Dao, it will completely appear behind Xuanzhou, and can completely block the route of the Jiangning battalion sergeants to escape from the sea, but in doing so, it is equivalent to letting go of the Tieshan, and the Jiangning battalion soldiers can break through along the Tieshan in several directions of Xuancheng, Xiuyan and Fuzhou.

These are two options, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but the premise is that it is expected that the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion may escape from the direction of Phi Dao.

The stakes were a bit too big for this gamble, and Zilharang hesitated.

Soon, Zierharang woke up a little, he has been in Shenyang for a long time, and Fan Wencheng has a lot of contact time, in front of Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng will not give so many choices, often the meaning is expressed very clearly, what to say, absolutely will not be ambiguous, let alone come up with this dilemma, war is different from child's play, it is impossible to become out of control because of the failure of a bet, before the battle starts, we must take into account many possibilities, and make the most advantageous choice.

"Master Fan, this is a little difficult to understand, if we besiege the Jiangning battalion sergeant from the direction of Phi Dao, in case the Jiangning battalion sergeant escapes from the direction of Tieshan, and then goes to the direction of Xuancheng or Fuzhou, and the Jiangning battalion sergeant in Fuzhou has a round, wouldn't we lose the opportunity to make a great difference, if we attack from the direction of Tieshan, in case the Jiangning battalion escapes from the direction of Phi Dao, it will be difficult to exterminate the vitality of the Jiangning battalion, I think both options have their own advantages and disadvantages."

At this time, Fan Wencheng saluted to Zilharang.

"Lord, the slave has made a lot of analysis, how to make a decision in the end, please think twice, the slave does not dare to trespass, dare not make any decisions, the prince is wise, I must understand the minion's suffering."

Zilharang nodded, he finally understood Fan Wencheng's true intentions, this is the importance of the intelligence that needs to be shown, or the judgment made by the intelligence is still important for the army's actions.

In the past two days, Zilharang has not talked to Fan Wencheng, that is, he has put Fan Wencheng as a think tank and is unwilling to use it, which is Fan Wencheng's reminder to himself, and it is also a means to make a relationship from the front.

"Master Fan, I don't know what information you have, tell me and listen to it."

"Lord Wang, in the past two days, the minions have been paying attention to the intelligence of Xuanzhou and Pyongyang, including some information on Fuzhou, but there has been no new news, the minions can't help but be a little worried, it is said that the army of my Great Qing State is dispatched, Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion should have made a move, and will never sit idly by, this is not in line with Su Tiancheng's habits, the information that the slaves got from Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places, after the Jiangning battalion occupied these places, Qiu did not commit any crimes, which is obviously to win people's hearts, It means that Su Tiancheng wants to occupy these places for a long time, and he will not retreat easily, in this case, the army is conquering, Su Tiancheng must have an arrangement, if there is no arrangement, it is the most dangerous thing. ”

Zilharang's expression also became serious.

"Tell me about your analysis, why this kind of situation will occur."

"The slave thinks that there are two possibilities, one is that Su Tiancheng blocked the intelligence, so that the personnel placed by the slaves in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places could not get the information, so there is nothing to report, and the other possibility is that Su Tiancheng is ready and has a way to meet the army, whether it is possible, it is not good news for my Great Qing Kingdom."

"Well, the courage of the Jiangning battalion is also well known, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor attaches great importance to the Jiangning battalion, and sent 100,000 troops to deal with 50,000 Jiangning battalion sergeants, which is an unprecedented thing, during this time, you have not received information about the Jiangning battalion, according to my expectations, I am afraid that Su Tiancheng has already made preparations, in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangning battalion is also experienced in a hundred battles, it is impossible not to make any preparations."

"What the prince said is that the minions also think so, so the two choices that the prince said just now, the minions think that it is more reasonable to attack from the direction of Tieshan, and in this way, although after the defeat of the Jiangning battalion sergeants, it is very likely to flee directly from the direction of Phi Dao, but once the Jiangning battalion leaves Xuanzhou, it indicates their defeat, if the two Jiangning battalion sergeants meet in Fuzhou, or the Jiangning battalion sergeants of Xuanzhou, when they pass through Tieshan and go to Fuzhou, they encounter the army led by Prince Yu, what will happen, It's hard to say, the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou have formed a combination of inside and outside, and the pressure on Prince Yu is very great. ”

After Fan Wencheng finished saying this, he saluted Zilharang again.

"Lord, what the slave can say, that's all, how the prince decides, the slave can't interfere, before leaving, the emperor repeatedly told the slave that he must do his best to give advice to the prince, the slave also thinks and does this, the slave has never gone into battle to kill the enemy, and the words he said are all on paper, and he will never dare to compare with the prince.

Zilharang smiled and nodded, and Fan Wencheng finally said what to say.

Fan Wencheng's attitude, if it is in front of Dai Shan and Dolgon and others, it will definitely cause disgust, and if there are any words, it will be said directly, and there is no need to beat around the bush, as if it is still going to show off, but Zierharang's understanding is different, it can be said that for a long time in Shenyang, Zierharang's understanding is more complicated, and he also agrees with this kind of performance, having said that, Zierharang is in front of Huang Taiji, and his speech has also been carefully considered.

"Master Fan, I understand what you mean, in the process of conquest in the future, if you have any considerations, just tell me directly, you are dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, the emperor sees it in his eyes, and I also understand......"

A smile appeared on Fan Wencheng's face, he had finally achieved his goal. (To be continued......)
