According to Qu Qingze's proposal, the meeting was attended by Pu Kaiqiang, the political envoy of Shaanxi, Zuo Xiaohu, the envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Tan Zongliang, the commander of the capital.

Qu Qingze put forward such a suggestion, Su Tiancheng is very satisfied, it seems that Qu Qingze has understood a lot of things after working in the local area for a period of time, knows the importance of cooperation, and also understands the truth that everyone gathers firewood and flames, the chief of the three divisions, according to their own responsibilities, still has a lot of power, if they are in the process of work, always thinking about confronting the governor, Su Tiancheng's things are still not easy to do.

But Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang attended the meeting, Su Tiancheng still had some worries, the understanding of these three people must be somewhat fixed, that is to say, according to their understanding, they may not necessarily approve of the Jiangning battalion's all-out attack and annihilate this group of rogues who came to provoke, and the three of them may not necessarily believe that this information is true.

As soon as the meeting was convened, different opinions came out.

Hong Chengchou put forward the proposal of comprehensively facing the Liukou and striving for the total annihilation of the 100,000 Liukou led by Gao Yingxiang, and Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang, Xiong Zijian, and others completely agreed, but Pu Kaiqiang first put forward different opinions.

"My lord, my colleagues, I think this matter still needs to be cautious, the situation in Shaanxi is special, your Excellency and Jiang Ningying have just come here, and they have not had time to settle down, nor have they fully grasped the situation, the Liukou have been in trouble in Shaanxi for many years, and the imperial court has been trying to exterminate them, but they are scheming, especially Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai, who are cunning and cunning, who knows if this matter is true, I have read this letter, if they set up a plan to make the army unstable, wouldn't we be fooled."

Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang also nodded frequently.

Su Tiancheng didn't speak for the time being, he knew it. Pu Kaiqiang hasn't finished speaking.

"According to my opinion, Jiang Ningying should settle down first, as for this letter, you don't need to pay attention to it, as long as you take the necessary precautions, we all know it. The Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting, and when they come to Shaanxi, the rogues must be afraid, not to mention taking the initiative to attack, it is good to be able to dodge. ”

As soon as Pu Kaiqiang finished speaking, Tan Zongliang spoke.

Tan Zongliang is the commander of the capital, responsible for commanding the guards in Shaanxi, and has had some confrontations with the Liukou.

"My lord, what Master Pu said is reasonable. The rogues in Shaanxi are too cunning, and there have been precedents of surrender before, but they are all expedient, the Jiangning battalion has just arrived in Shaanxi, and the matter of defending against the sneak attack of the rogues is still left to me to deal with. ”

The look on Hong Chengchou's face changed, although he still had a smile. But the tone of the speech was a little heavier.

"Master Pu, Lord Tan. Regardless of whether the news of the Liukou is true or not, there is no harm to the Jiang Ning Battalion, who came to Shaanxi to shoulder two duties, one is to maintain public order in Shaanxi. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the second is to exterminate the Liukou and maintain the peace of my Ming Dynasty, and now that they have received such information, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng have taken the initiative to return to the imperial court. Such a good opportunity, how can you miss it, besides, it is Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the Liukou, who led the sneak attack of the Liukou this time, if Gao Yingxiang can be captured alive, it will be a heavy blow to the Liukou, which is a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone. ”

Hong Chengchou's prestige is still different, he used to be the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and he was the direct superior of Pu Kaiqiang and others, so it is not good for the three of them to refute it directly when he said such an opinion.

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng and waited for Su Tiancheng to make a statement.

"Lord Hong, Lord Pu and Lord Tan all said their own opinions, all of them have some truth, Lord Pu and Lord Tan still don't know the situation of Jiang Ningying, and it is reasonable to put forward such a suggestion, but with such a good opportunity, it would be a pity if Jiang Ningying missed it."

"The combat effectiveness of the Jiangning battalion, I don't want to say more, don't say that there are 100,000 rogues, even if all of them are 300,000 people in battle, don't think about what you can get, but no matter what, Gao Yingxiang still has some courage and strategy, the Jiangning battalion has just arrived in Shaanxi, and is still busy with its own placement, at this time, the strategy of sneak attack does catch the Jiangning battalion off guard, and it is very likely to cause some losses, since Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng want to return to the imperial court, then the Jiangning battalion will take advantage of such an opportunity, Strive to completely annihilate these 100,000 rogues. ”

At this point, Su Tiancheng officially stated that the Jiangning battalion would make an all-out attack to meet the rogues.

Seeing Su Tiancheng's statement, Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang stopped talking.

"This time the opportunity is very good, but we still have to plan carefully, since Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng are determined to return to the imperial court, then we have to create conditions for them, as for Master Pu said that the rogue is scheming, in this regard, we also have to plan, thinking about playing tricks in front of the Jiangning camp, then they are thinking about looking for death, since they want to return to the imperial court, then they must follow the rules of the Jiangning camp, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng led the sergeants, all disrupted the system, the qualified stayed, and all the unqualified were sent home, Do it strictly according to the requirements, if you don't agree with our suggestions, then face to face and use combat effectiveness to speak. ”

The steps discussed quickly moved on to the next step, which was how to deal with the sneak attack.

This time, there were different opinions.

Hong Chengchou's opinion is that to exterminate this sneak attack of the rogues, mainly cavalry, with the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion assisting, and the power of the artillery battalion, Hong Chengchou is well aware, but he believes that the rogue is very mobile, and if he can't win, he will run, and in this case, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the cavalry of the Jiangning battalion, so that the rogue has nowhere to escape.

Bi Maokang's opinion was to take the lead with the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion, and after giving the rogue the greatest blow, the cavalry and infantry would then attack, which would break the morale of the rogue and minimize casualties.

Everyone's opinions are mixed, but most of them agree with Bi Maokang's opinion.

In successive battles, the power of the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion was seen and experienced by everyone, especially in the battle against the Tartars, the tremendous power of the artillery battalion was still fresh in everyone's memory.

Su Tiancheng's mind has changed.

It is said that the first attack with artillery can achieve the best effect, and it can indeed reduce casualties, this time the situation is somewhat special, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng said that they have returned to the imperial court, they led 50,000 soldiers, if the artillery battalion attacks, the shells will not open their eyes, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng led the sergeants, must charge at the front, in that case, the attack of the artillery battalion, hit the sergeants led by Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng, and the sergeants led by Gao Yingxiang, will not suffer much loss, besides, A crowd of 100,000 people is to kill 100,000 pigs, and it will take a long time.

The cavalry of the Jiangning battalion has extraordinary combat effectiveness, especially after several encounters with the rogue, the cavalry has become more ferocious, if it is mainly cavalry, directly kill the rogue, let the rogues form a fear and fear mood, and it will have an unexpected effect on the future eradication of the rogue.

"In my opinion, this time to exterminate the Liukou, or the Xiaocai battalion, scout battalion, Jianrui battalion and forward battalion are the mainstay, as for the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion, in the later stage of the battle to give the Liukou a devastating blow, Lord Hong has put forward a specific combat plan, this plan is feasible, that is, there is one thing to note, if the 50,000 sergeants led by Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng can form a separate formation, it is the best to prevent them from temporarily defecting, but it is necessary to lay down their weapons, but if they are mixed formations, then they must turn against each other, Otherwise, we will not be able to distinguish between them, but we can only strike them together. ”

The specific combat plan has basically been decided.

At this time, Pu Kaiqiang couldn't help it and finally spoke.

"My lord, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng are willing to submit to the imperial court, but in their hands, after all, there are 50,000 soldiers, if they are ostensibly obedient, but they take advantage of the battle to suddenly attack, what will they do?"

Su Tiancheng looked at Pu Kaiqiang and smiled.

"Master Pu said very well, in the middle of Lord Hong's tactical arrangement, there is another point that has not been said, that is, the arrangement of the sergeant of the guard, 50,000 people is not a small number, it is indeed necessary to take good care of it, this is the responsibility of the sergeant of the guard, exterminate the rogue, is the task of the officials and officials at all levels in Shaanxi Province, this is a very good opportunity, the Jiangning battalion has just arrived in Shaanxi, and it has encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it must not be missed, the sergeants of the Xianyang County Inspection Division, including the sergeants of Xi'an Wei, are all used as reserves, Take part in this battle. ”

In the process of speaking, Su Tiancheng found that Tan Zongliang's expression was not very good, and it is no wonder that the sergeants of Xi'anwei and Xianyang Inspection Division are all used as reserves, and their main responsibility is to take care of the surrendered sergeants, which means that they have not played any role.

Su Tiancheng would never allow the local soldiers in Shaanxi to participate in this battle, he couldn't trust these soldiers, and he didn't know what the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was.

Such an arrangement is necessary, although it is said to damage Tan Zongliang's face.

After an hour, all the arrangements were clear.

The commander of this battle, Hong Chengchou was directly responsible, Su Tiancheng sat in the governor's yamen, waiting for news, Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu followed Su Tiancheng's side, waiting for news in the governor's yamen, and Tan Zongliang assisted Hong Chengchou.

By the time everything was done, it was already dark.

The big war is imminent, Su Tiancheng seems very calm, the reason why he does not go directly to the battlefield is also because he thinks that in the future, every battle of the Jiangning battalion, it is impossible for him to participate in all of them, Hong Chengchou's ability is very strong, he has commanded many battles, and there is no big problem in facing the Liukou, not to mention that Su Tiancheng still has a lot of things to consider, including how to deal with Li Yichuan and Liu Guineng, how to arrange, his previous point of view, for the leader of the Liukou, is never spared.

Properly accepting individual leaders of the rogues can also break the hearts of the rogues army. (To be continued......)
