Chapter 297: Poison Plan (I)

"Wang Baobao is also here, no wonder, your family is in charge of this battle, and it is a miracle that you can win it." Zhu Chongjiu's heart sank, and he said with a wry smile.

It's not that he looks down on Zhao Junyong's skills, but Wang Baobao, who is too impressed in his memory, the elder brother of Zhao Min, the lord of Mongolian counties, the main executor of the six major martial arts sects, the first handsome talent in both civil and military affairs in "Ming Yinglie", Zhou Yu when he passed the level of strategy in the Three Kingdoms, and Lu Bu, who was brave and no less than Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison, once carried the siege of Fu Youde and other ten generals alone, and did not fall behind at all (Note 1, Note 2)

"It's just a second ancestor, why should the chief manager raise the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." Wu Liangmou, the commander of the Fifth Army, had never heard of the legend of Wang Baobao like Zhu Chongjiu, and when he saw that his own governor respected this person so much, he couldn't help but feel a contest, "The last general is willing to lead his brothers to Xuzhou first, and go to meet this baby for a while." ”

"The Fourth Army is already full, and although the training time is a little shorter, the recruits have not seen blood, and they will always be recruits." Wu Yongchun, the commander of the Fourth Army, also felt very unconvinced, stood up, stood behind Wu Liangmou and asked Zhu Chongjiu for help.

"That's right, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a day, and take advantage of the fact that we haven't arrived yet, so we just use this Wang Baobao to practice." Although Geng Zaicheng was calm, he had won a series of battles some time ago, and he had accumulated a lot of pride in his heart, and he didn't think that the 20,000 Tanma Red Army was anything great at all.

"Isn't it, the soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and the three thousand cavalry will be comparable to the Afghan army back then."

"How was the Ah Jun back then, it wasn't that the governor took us to a beating."

"It's been a long time since I've been fighting, and I'm thinking that my hands are itching, and someone finally sent it to the door."

"The cavalry is good, the cavalry is good, Master Yu complained a few days ago, the horses we captured have long been insufficient, and three thousand cavalry have come, which is equivalent to five thousand good horses sent to the door."

Although the other generals present did not dare to say as dare to say as the three of them, they also rubbed their fists and sharpened their hands, eager to try, who is Li Siqi, Wang Baobao is a head, even Polo Buhua, Timur Buhua's uncle and nephew are all defeated at the touch of a button, Li and Wang, two little-known young generals, can still go against the sky.

"Calm down, when to send troops, how to send troops, presumably the governor has his own decision in his heart." Xu Da is the most old-fashioned, and the more the audience talks, the more outrageous it becomes, standing up and interrupting loudly.

Immediately, he saluted Zhu Chongjiu again, and continued, "Dudu, according to the last general's opinion, what the final result of this battle will be, I'm afraid it is not Li Siqi, Chahan and Wang Baobao, but the Tokhok side, after all, Totok's army has arrived in Liaocheng a few days ago, if you put the baggage behind you and ride south, within a few days, you will be able to join Li Siqi." ”

"Hmm." When the generals heard this, the voice of the discussion immediately became smaller, and the news that Tokhtar led the 300,000 army to the south was already known to everyone three days ago, and after the Huai'an army took Yangzhou, it changed its previous elite army policy and expanded desperately, also in order to withstand the bloody counterattack of the Mengyuan court in the future, but Liaocheng and Suiyang are thousands of miles apart, so no one considered Li Siqi and others together with Totok just now.

And even if everyone goes out of Yangzhou tonight, even if they travel day and night by boat, it will be at least two and a half days before they arrive in Xuzhou, and it will take at least two days to rush from Xuzhou to the Suiyang battlefield

"Do you think that there has been a collusion between Tokhtar and Li Siqi a long time ago." Listening to Xu Da's words, Zhu Chongjiu was also taken aback, and quickly turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall.

"The last general doesn't dare to say it, the last general just thinks that Li Siqi's difficult time is very strange." Xu Da thought for a moment and responded in a low voice.

Everyone gasped, Qi Qi set their eyes on the map, the map hanging on the wall is very rough, but it can also be seen that Liaocheng is the seat of Dongchang Road, close to the Grand Canal, and the most convenient way to march in this era is probably with the help of the canal, not only the grain and grass can be placed on the boat, if the soldiers are tired, they can also take turns to get on the boat to rest, without any blockage, marching a hundred miles in a day, is not a problem at all.

And the terrain along the canal is gentle, there are no mountains on the way, if it is simply to seize the opportunity, it can even lead a small number of elite cavalry to advance lightly, and it can even run forward one hundred and forty or fifty miles in one day and night, and from Liaocheng, it will definitely reach Suiyang within seven days.

What's even more helpless is that due to the limitation of communication capabilities in this era, the enemy situation mastered by the Huai'an army must be a few days behind the real situation, and the news that the soldiers and horses are about to arrive in Liaocheng was sent to the governor's mansion three days ago.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, turned around, nodded approvingly at Xu Da first, and then quickly asked Chen Ji, "Chen joins the army, there will be a new warning signal on the canal during the day today." ”

"Not yet." Chen Ji didn't dare to slack off, and immediately responded loudly, "According to the agreement, the news over there will arrive on the third day, and today is just the third day. ”

"Well, you have been keeping an eye on it for the past two days, and as soon as there is news, let me know immediately." Zhu Chongjiu nodded, his face was full of helplessness, there was no timely and reliable means of communication, no effective intelligence system, no pervasive spy personnel, and it was difficult to make a correct judgment on the enemy situation by relying only on the voluntary support of the boat gang.

For him, building a reliable intelligence collection system is not a matter of one or two days, not only in theory, but in reality, there is not even any reference to imitate.

"More wins, less wins." Lao Jinshi Lu Lu saw that Zhu Chongjiu's face was getting more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but remind loudly, "I don't know if the people and horses who have escaped have come, just assume that he has arrived, anyway, even if he can't get rid of it, the Yellow River is in danger now, and we can't guarantee that other Mengyuan soldiers and horses will not take the opportunity to cross the river." ”

"Then we have to have at least three armies." Xu Da thought for a while and added in a low voice, "Chief Zhao's soldiers and horses have just lost a battle, I'm afraid that morale and combat effectiveness will be greatly affected, Li Pingzhang's side is against Chahan, let's send an army to clean up Li Siqi, one army is on guard on the periphery, so as not to be attacked by Toto, and the other army will stay with the governor in case of emergency." ”

"Our army still has the strength to fight." Li Xixi blushed when he heard this, and hurriedly took the initiative to stand up and explain the situation, "Although our army is newly defeated, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers left in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that there will be 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers who have returned from the periphery, plus auxiliary soldiers, it is not a problem to make up 50,000, my lord was in a hurry to recover Suiyang last time, and was ambushed by Li Siqi and Chahan, this time be cautious, and should be able to deal with one of them, in addition, Liu Dashuai's side, my lord also sent someone to ask for help, but I am not sure whether Liu Dashuai is willing to send troops." ”

"If you're not sure, don't take it into account." Lu Lu once glanced at Li Xixi and said unceremoniously, "In addition, you said that you can gather 20,000 soldiers and horses from several surrounding counties and come back, then who will defend Suining, Suqian and other places, and go south this time, but with an army of 300,000, you can be caught off guard by your head Zhao if you divide it all the way." ”

"This, this" Li Shuangxi was speechless, his face was so red that he could almost drip blood, before running to Yangzhou to ask Zhu Chongjiu for help, Zhao Junyong had explained to him that as long as the other party was willing to agree to send troops, he could cede Suining, Suqian and other places to Huaiyang, in the minds of their monarchs and ministers, since those places have been ceded out, the responsibility for defense must also be borne by the Huai'an army, who would have expected that Zhu Chongjiu would not take advantage of the friendly army at all, so their monarchs' wishful thinking was completely defeated without waiting for the start of the fight.

Seeing that Li Shuangxi was embarrassed to become that look, he immediately understood the hidden cattiness in his heart, smiled, and said loudly: "If you are not too tired, just go to Zhao Jun now, and say that the soldiers and horses in charge of my family will set off in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and within five days, the striker will definitely arrive in Xuzhou." ”

"So, thank you Lu Changshi, thank you to the chief manager." When Li Xixi heard this, he didn't care about his shame, and immediately bent down and saluted respectfully.

As an experienced general, he knows that it is not a simple matter for the army to go out, grain and grass, baggage, ships, horses, and the cooperation of the government along the way, none of which does not consume time and energy, and also loses Xuzhou, Suzhou and Huaiyang and other places.

"You don't have to thank us." Lu Luzeng smiled and continued to command, "You also heard what we said just now, after you go back, remember to immediately remind your head Zhao to be on guard, once Li Siqi is really like our analysis, he has already taken the line of detachment, I am afraid that this time the detachment will go south, and the first target is Xuzhou." ”

Note 1: Wang Baobao, formerly known as Kuangkuo Timur, the nephew of Chakhan Timur, after being killed in Chakhan Timur, took over the soldiers and horses under Chakhan Timur, broke through Yidu, killed the famous Red Turban generals Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng, and caused a heavy blow to the Red Turban Army, and then competed for power with Polo Timur, born a civil war, in 1265, the army came to the capital, forced Emperor Yuan Shun to kill Polo Timur, and then clashed with another big warlord Li Siqisheng who supported the Mengyuan court, and fought endlessly with each other. It is said that the people that Zhu Yuanzhang admired and appreciated the most in his life were Timur, admired his outstanding military talents, and were grateful for his idiotic behavior in politics.

Note 2: Wang Baobao vs. Fu Youde and other ten generals, seen in the commentary "Ming Yinglie", the extermination of the six major factions, is out of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhu Chongjiu is an engineering house, history failed, everyone continues to laugh at him, don't take it seriously,
