388 Preparations before the Great War

As soon as Hong Chengchou heard Azig's words, the expression on his face did not change much, but his heart set off an earth-shattering wave, you know, if the Manchu army really deployed according to Azig, then it would be very easy to block the attack of the Ming army in Shaanxi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Changsha Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion, if you look at it from the map, all of them are around the waters of Dongting Lake and the entire Yangtze River to defend, which is why the land of Huguang has always been an important location for the battle between the north and the south, just like the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army that swept the world, how many difficult and dangerous places have been defeated, but to the land of Huguang, but can only honestly and slowly attack the solid Xiangyang City, why, the reason is that in addition to Xiangyang, the places next to it are connected by water networks, There was no place suitable for a large army to attack, and it was precisely by virtue of this geographical advantage that the Southern Song Dynasty barely maintained it for more than ten years.

Therefore, under this natural advantage, if you want to break through the land of Sanfu guarded by elite soldiers, I am afraid that the Ming army of Shaanxi will not pay a huge price, it is impossible to break through, even if he has him in the middle to do internal response, it is also very difficult.

Although Hong Chengchou was shocked in his heart, he still said with a solemn expression on his face, "This proposal of the prince is good, if this strategy can really be implemented, at least it can make us invincible, the plan is very good, but there is another problem in the middle." ”

At the beginning of hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Azig was still very happy in his heart, if it was before, hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Azig would not give him a good face even if he was not angry, but during this period of time, Hong Chengchou has continued to give him some tricks and tricks, so that he can continue to establish meritorious deeds, so he is very trusting of Hong Chengchou, so, after hearing Hong Chengchou's words, he suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Hong, I don't know if there is anything wrong with this, if so, please say it quickly." , this king must correct it as soon as possible. ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head, then raised his hand and pointed to the map on the desk and said, "Lord Wang, there is no problem with this plan of the prince, and this plan is also the most suitable plan now, the only thing that is a little inappropriate is that since we are going to garrison the three places separately, then the status of these three places is equally important, just like a long dragon, the dragon head, the dragon body, the dragon tail, the three places are closely connected, no matter which place is lost, it will make the other two places fall into a passive situation, so, this candidate for the three places." , is a difficult thing, but we are now the situation you know best, we have a large number of troops, but there is no candidate who can lead an army alone, thousands of troops are easy to get a general is difficult to find, want to elect the candidate to garrison the three places, but it is a problem, if a mistake, the selected person, can not be used, when the time comes, I am afraid we will fall into a passive situation. ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou's words were finished, Azig couldn't help frowning, embarrassed, this is not because he didn't think about it, but because he didn't think about it at all, you know, in the past, the Manchu Qing Dynasty fought on its own initiative, so whether it was himself, or Ao Bai and other Manchu generals, they were used to taking the initiative to attack and conquer the city, and this garrison and defense were very different from attacking, which not only involved the morale of the soldiers, the reserve of materials, and accurate judgment, There are all kinds of things that need to be dealt with, so this needs to assess a person's comprehensive ability, and in this regard, the Manchu court is very lacking, not really nothing, whether it is Hong Chengchou or Wu Sangui and others, if they really want to garrison a city and defend, it is not a big problem, but there is still a hurdle in the middle, that is, will Azig or the Manchu court trust them?

As I said just now, these three places complement each other, the loss of any one place will put the other two places in trouble, and this war is a decisive battle between the Ming court and the Manchu court in Shaanxi, the losing side, even if it will not be destroyed immediately, but the future prospects will be very miserable, so, at this time, Azig and others will not believe them at all, for Hong Chengchou's words, the Manchu court may still trust, but for Wu Sangui, they will not believe so much.

"This king leads the army to sit in Yuezhou Mansion, this Changsha Mansion can be handed over to Lord Hong to garrison, but who is Wuchang Mansion handed over, this king is really embarrassed, Wuchang Mansion is the most important place in these three places, if there is no his existence, the Ming army will be able to separate us from the land of Nanzhili, at that time, we will completely lose contact with Beijing City, and our hundreds of thousands of troops will completely become a turtle in the urn, so Wuchang Mansion must be handed over to a person who has the ability and can be trusted." Azig couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

Seeing Azig's difficult question, Hong Chengchou couldn't help laughing a few times in his heart, and then said, "Lord Wang, Xia Guan has a suggestion, if the prince doesn't mind, Xia Guan will tell you about it." ”

"Okay, Lord Hong speak quickly, this king listens to you." Azig said.

"Lord Wang, if you want to choose a person with the best ability to go to Wuchang Mansion in a hurry, I am afraid it will not be easy to find it for a while, and more importantly, even if we find it, we dare not use it, so Xia Guan thought, can we change our thinking, that is, find a few more people to go to Wuchang Mansion, one person is short, two people are long, as long as we make reasonable arrangements, if we want to defend a Wuchang Mansion, it should not be a problem." Hong Chengchou said.

"Oh, I don't know if Lord Hong has any good suggestions, come and listen to it." Azig said.

"Lord Wang, after thinking about it for a while, I feel that Lord Aobai and Wu Sangui can be used, first of all, Lord Aobai is brave and good at fighting, and will definitely not have dissent to the court, and Wu Sangui has been stationed in Shanhaiguan for many years, when it comes to the generals who defend the city in the world, even if he can't be regarded as the first, but he is also the top five people, in this way, we don't have to worry that Wuchang Mansion will be broken by the Shaanxi Ming Army, and we don't have to worry about the non-people entrusted to it, causing inevitable losses, I don't know what you think." Hong Chengchou finally said what he thought in his heart.

After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, Azig suddenly stood up excitedly, and then said loudly while clapping his hands, "Miao, Miao, Miao, Lord Hong's idea is really wonderful, Ao Bai plus Wu Sangui, this is a very reasonable and powerful combination, with their existence, Wuchang Mansion will be able to be impregnable, when the time comes, we will use these three places to cast a solid defense line, teach Shi Lei's kid a good lesson, and let him know that our Manchu Qing will never be defeated." ”

.........................

Hong Chengchou's conversation with Azig didn't take long, and it was put on Shi Lei's desk word for word, looking at the details of the Manchu army passed by Hong Chengchou, Shi Lei and others couldn't help but feel a little difficult, but it was hard work, since they already knew the detailed movements of the Manchu army, as long as they came up with a way, the right medicine, and broke the Manchu army, it was only a matter of time.

"It seems that the people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can rise rapidly in just a few decades, it is still very normal, just from the plan formulated by Azig, it shows that in addition to Azig's excellent military talent, if we don't know their details, so rashly pounce over, I'm afraid that when the time comes, a big tooth will be broken." After reading the message sent by Hong Chengchou, Dong Qi couldn't help but say after staring at the map on the table for a long time.

"If it's just a big tooth, I'm afraid it's still the best ending, maybe when we have the same defeat as Fu Jian, it's also possible, you see, these three places, Changsha Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion are only next to Dongting Lake, there are not many places around that can carry out large-scale attacks, if you want to take them, it will definitely take a lot of time, and the loss is probably not small, and Wuchang Mansion is not to mention, it has always been a place where soldiers must fight, close to the Yangtze River, surrounded by a vertical and horizontal water network, It is very difficult to dispatch a large army, but we have no ability to resist at all, and if we want to go south, we have to take these three places, which is really a headache. Tong Chenfu on the side couldn't help frowning after Dong Qi finished speaking.

"Okay, let's not talk too much about those things, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, this time since we have made up our minds to take the land of Huguang and completely wipe out the Azig army, then even if there are big losses, we must complete it, otherwise, what face will we have to go back to see Jiangdong fathers." After everyone finished speaking, Shi Lei said conclusively.

After Shi Lei's decision, all the Ming generals who came to the Ming Dynasty did not say anything, but seized the time to start preparing, you know, the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, is not like a hooligan fight, pull people on both sides together, and then face to face to slash, if that is really the case, there will not be so many battles in history to win more with less, big battles, especially to this kind of war that determines the success or failure of the two forces, it is necessary to make all preparations in front of the station, the distribution of personnel, and the deployment of materials, the attack and garrison of important strategic points, and who serves as the striker and who stays behind, this is all to be arranged in front of the station, which is why many major battles are often fought for many years.

Before you know it, the two sides have been fighting for nearly a month, but apart from a few smaller encounters, there have been no major battles, and all the soldiers on both sides are waiting for the right time to launch a thunderous blow at each other.

..............................

Just when Shi Lei led the army to confront the Manchu army in Huguang, there was a faint feeling of unpeace in the rear.

Since Shi Lei led the army to leave, the whole Xi'an has become much more empty, and Li Liangdong and others, who were originally suppressed by Shi Lei, were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, of course, there is another person who also feels relaxed, that is Shi Lei's good brother, Shi Zhu.

Also in the small courtyard last time, when Shi Zhu walked around the street a few times, and then came here, he saw a letter handed to him by the person in the house, and said at the same time, "The prince said, now Shi Lei has led the army out of Shaanxi, I'm afraid it will be a long time to come back, so, this time is the time for you to play a role, I hope you can make good use of this time, in this Xi'an, between Shi Lei's heart, burn a few fires, it is best to burn all this completely, then it is the best, As long as you play better, the faster our army will come, I hope you will not live up to the trust of the prince, and strive to eliminate Shi Lei and the Shaanxi Ming Court as soon as possible, and establish meritorious deeds. ”

After reading the information in the letter, Shi Zhu put him on the candlestick and lit it, and said with a hideous sneer on his face, "Okay, good, good, it's really good, I've been impatient to wait for this day, and now the opportunity for revenge has finally come, you can rest assured, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince for me, and I will burn a few fires in this Xi'an city. I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to fight, when the time comes, as long as he is distracted, there will be mistakes, and when the army is defeated, it will not be too far away from him. ”

"That's good, in order for you to fully realize the plan, we will be under your command from now on, no matter what you need, we will do it for you, so you can rest assured and do it boldly." The man in the room continued after hearing the words of the stone pillar.

"Okay, with your help, I am more sure that this Xi'an city will be turned upside down, so that I now have a plan, the people take food as the sky, and we ......... now" Immediately, Shizhu used the information he had learned to come up with a plan, and then told the people in the house separately, and finally, the two finally made all the plans, and then Shizhu went to Shifu with some excitement.

It's a pity that when Shi Lei just left here, he saw the same person, also quickly walked out of this mansion, and then walked quickly towards a tavern, and then, not long after, a plan full of Shi Zhu and the people in the house was sent to the hands of Monkey Er and Zheng Tianzhu, but unfortunately, for some reason, the two looked at the plan in their hands, just sneered, and did not take any action.
