Chapter 838: Fierce Controversy (2)

Because of Qian Qianyi's criticism and accusations, the atmosphere of rewarding meritorious deeds was directly weakened, Chen Xinjia simply did not mention this matter, and directly talked about the next step of deployment, this time, Chen Xinjia did not deliberately emphasize the matter of reporting to the emperor, after all, Yizhou is not a key city, can not take Guangning, Yizhou can not be held, this is close to Mongolia, Houjin Tartar and Mongolian tribes are one, so it can be very good to hold Yizhou, but the Ming Dynasty is different, want to hold Yizhou, it is particularly difficult, of course, can take Guangning, Dalinghe City to Quang Ninh became a whole, and the situation was completely different.

The so-called discussion and deployment of the next move, in fact, Chen Xinjia directly made the deployment, and everyone acted according to the requirements, and the overall requirements of the campaign were like this, but Chen Xinjia did not expect that the fierce debate broke out again.

Chen Xinjia took responsibility, which in Zu Dashou's view, is a wise move, but also to the love of his subordinates, in this case, about the deployment of the operation, Zu Dashou also has to put forward his own views, including many worries, the army captured the city of Montenegro, Zu Dashou's heart knot has not been untied, today to capture Yizhou City, although the process of the battle is tragic, the losses of the border army are not small, but there are still many doubts.

Chen Xinjia's deployment, in full accordance with the tactics previously formulated, leaving 20,000 border troops to hold on to Yizhou, the responsibility of these 20,000 border troops is not light, on the one hand, to prevent the raid of the Houjin Tartars, and on the other hand, to prevent the attack of the Mongol tribes.

Chen Xinjia's deployment was completed, and when he was about to ask everyone to go down to prepare, Zu Dashou spoke.

"Dashuai, there are a few places that my subordinates don't understand."

Chen Xinjia looked at Zu Dashou, there was no expression on his face, and he was not in a very good mood. The capture of Yizhou was originally something worth celebrating, but I didn't expect Qian Qianyi to bring up the matter of slaughtering the city, but now that the deployment has been completed, Zu Dashou has raised objections again, and the task of fighting and killing in the back is still very heavy. If there are so many arguments every time, how to fight, will it not be to fight back and forth, and make a situation of scattered sand.

However, Zu Dashou opened his mouth, and he couldn't let the family not say it.

Chen Xinjia didn't speak, just nodded.

"In today's fighting, there are some places that the subordinates don't understand very well, the first aspect. Houjin Tatar did not desperately resist for what was going on, but withdrew a large number of sergeants, is it to preserve his strength. ”

Zu Dashou knew that Chen Xinjia was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything long-winded, and bluntly said the worries in his heart.

"In this attack on the city of Yizhou, the losses of the border army were not small, with more than 2,000 killed and more than 1,000 seriously wounded. After encountering the fierce resistance of the Golden Tartars, the city of Yiju was not high. It is far from being able to compare with the city of Montenegro, according to the understanding of the subordinates, it should be easy to be taken down, but the attack lasted for half a day, and the strangest thing about the subordinates is that the attack is still continuing. The city of Yiju has not yet been lost, and a large number of Houjin Tartars have left called wooden boats, can it be said that Houjin Tartars were caught off guard and were not prepared. ”

"The battle in Liaodong has been going on for several days. The Houjin Tartars fully understood the purpose of our army, which was to attack, to completely drive the Houjin Tartars out of Liaodong, looking at Liaodong, with the Liao River as the boundary, the places occupied by the Houjin were mainly Montenegro, Yizhou and Guangning, these three places were very important to the Houjin Tartars, and they could not make any mistakes. ”

"Our army captured Montenegro, and the Houjin Tartars should be made a key deployment in Yizhou, which is close to Mongolia, and the Houjin Tartars are easy to support, relying on the support of the Mongolian Eight Banners, they can compete here for a while, at least our border army takes Yizhou, it's not that simple."

"As for preserving strength, it doesn't make sense, all the places have been lost, just saving strength, what can it do."

"In the second aspect, the subordinates feel that the Houjin Tartars seem to have specifically given up Black Mountain City and Yiju City."

When he said this, the room was instantly quiet, Zu Dashou's courage was too great, the emperor had just issued an order to commend the army for taking the city of Montenegro, but Zu Dashou said it, this may be the initiative of the Houjin Tartars to give up, doesn't this mean that the success achieved by the army in front of the army was completely given up by the Houjin Tartars, not the result of the border army's hard work, such statements are equivalent to denying Chen Xinjia's command.

Even Zu Dabi and Zu Dale stared at Zu Dashou with their eyes open.

Zu Dashou didn't care and continued.

"The subordinates have been in Liaodong for decades, and the Houjin Tartars have fought several times, the Houjin Tartars are brave and ruthless, fighting on the battlefield, they have never taken the initiative to retreat, and they will not give up until they reach their goal, if they stick to the city, they will never retreat if they do not fight to the last one, not to mention that they have not suffered much losses when the army attacked the city of Montenegro, the Houjin Tartars stationed in Montenegro only had two thousand people, and there were many Tartars in Yizhou, but most of them were withdrawn, which the subordinates could not understand."

"After thinking about it, my subordinates feel that there is only one possibility, that is, Houjin Tatar took the initiative to give up Montenegro and Yizhou, as for what Houjin Tatar would do this, my subordinates feel that they can't understand it for the time being."

Chen Xinjia's face turned blue, if Qian Qianyi said something, it was still based on the discipline of the army, and Zu Dashou's point of view was to doubt the deployment of the entire campaign, which Chen Xinjia could not tolerate.

"Chief Soldier Zu, according to your point of view, what should Ben Shuai do next?"

Zu Dashou's eyes flickered, how could he not understand Chen Xinjia's thoughts, but considering the prospects of the army, thinking from the overall perspective of this expedition, there are some things he must say, even if he is wrong, he must say it.

"The subordinates believe that it is necessary to temporarily hold on to Montenegro and Yiju, observe the movements, and do not take any action for the time being, and see what the reaction of the Houjin Tartars is."

The room was unusually quiet, no one spoke, and for various reasons, everyone would not speak for the time being.

At this time, a voice suddenly appeared, and it was Tang Haitai who spoke.

"Chief Soldier Zu, the lower official thinks that you are thinking too much, and the lower official can return to the problem you mentioned."

"The army successfully took the city of Montenegro, that is because the Houjin Tartars did not have sufficient expectations for our border army, thinking that our border army was weak, and at the same time, the arrangement of the marshal has always been kept secret, and the Houjin Tartars may not know, because of these reasons, coupled with the sharpness of the artillery, the army can quickly take the city of Montenegro."

"As for the army to take Yizhou, the lower officials think that it is also very normal, the location of Yizhou is remote, it has never been a military town, and the Houjin Tartars will not stick here, the ancestor also said, this is close to Mongolia, easy to attack and difficult to defend, such a place, can it be said that the Houjin Tartars still have to lay heavy troops, maybe the Houjin Tartars don't know the arrangements of the Lu Dao Marshal at all, thinking that the Dashuai will go straight to Guangning from Montenegro, so he laid down heavy troops in Guangning, and he didn't expect the Dashuai to surprise his troops and directly attack Yizhou City."

"Montenegro is only fifty miles away from Yizhou, even if the Houjin Tartars are alert, it is too late to arrange, so in the process of attacking, there will be a large number of Houjin Tartars escaping by boat, Xiaguan has always believed that the reason why the Houjin Tartars are terrible, the reason why they boast of being invincible and invincible, is that there is a fear of our border army, after two battles, Xiaguan thinks that the combat effectiveness of the border army is not weaker than that of the Houjin Tartars, in this case, the army has been fully prepared, and the Houjin Tartars are caught off guard. If you don't run away, will you wait for death? ”

"Zu Zongbing said that the Houjin Tartars deliberately gave up the Black Mountain City and Yizhou City, and the lower officials didn't understand, what did the Houjin Tartars do for the Houjin Tartars, are they ready to withdraw from Liaodong, and are ready to retreat to the north of the Liao River, such a possibility is very small, the lower officials think that it does not exist, and it is the wisdom of the commander and the courage of the border army to capture the Black Mountain City and Yizhou City."

While Tang Haitai was still speaking, Chen Xinjia's face began to soften, he felt that Tang Haitai was indeed good, and his progress was very fast, it was not enough to evaluate Tang Haitai with empathy, the analysis just now showed that after the battle began, Tang Haitai was indeed thinking about the problem.

After Tang Haitai finished speaking, Chen Xinjia also spoke.

"General Soldier Zu, these questions, Tang Haitai can understand, why you still have doubts, after capturing the city of Montenegro, your worries may be justified, but after capturing Yizhou, you are even more worried, what does this mean, can it be said that our army has suffered defeats, so as to prove that the deployment is wrong, to prove that the commander is underestimating the enemy, don't say these words at will in the future, the morale of the border army is high, it is advisable to drum and not to vent, although the Houjin Tartars were very brave before, but they are not invincible, there are not many Houjin Tartars stationed in the Black Mountain City, But it was also defeated by our army, and as for the battle against Uiju, the border army was extremely brave and fearless, and it really defeated the Houjin Tartars, which is something worth celebrating. ”

After saying these words, Chen Xinjia looked at everyone.

"Okay, that's all for today, Ben Shuai hopes that there will be no more such arguments in the future, you are all the support of Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai doesn't want to march the law, if after every battle, there are discordant arguments, it will definitely dissipate the morale of the army."

Leaving the Chinese military camp, Zu Dale couldn't help it.

"Big brother, how dare you say such words, you are much more powerful than me."

Zu Dashou glared at Zu Dale, and then sighed.

"Second brother, I really have an ominous premonition, these words have to be said, I am worried that the army will suffer defeat, so I spoke, now I am aware of it, follow Lord Su to fight, rest assured and bold, just attack, don't worry about other matters, you can follow Lord Chen to fight, although the deployment of the battle is extremely clear, you can tremble at any time, fortunately, the army will be stationed in Yizhou for five days, take advantage of this time, make more deployments."
