Chapter Seventy-One: Strategizing

"The emperor has an order, and the Duke of Wei Guo can be exempted from kneeling to accept the decree, please accept the decree of the Duke of Weiguo."

Lu Jiude gritted his teeth, the emperor had never said that he would not kneel, this was an expedient measure he took when he saw that Luo Jian refused to accept the order.

"Oh, are you going to Nanjing?"

Luo Jian didn't care about Lu Jiude's posture, he was worried that he would have to rush to Nanjing immediately after receiving this holy decree, now that there are so many things, all the work has not been fully carried out, how can he have time to deal with them?

"The emperor has admired several angels and divine chariots for a long time, and the sacred heart is very anxious, and he hopes that the grandfather of the country will leave for the audience as soon as possible." Luo Jian didn't accept it, and Lu Jiude had no choice but to say the meaning of the holy decree.

"Father-in-law Lu, are you saying that the emperor is in a hurry to see the governor just to see this magic car?" Huang Degong heard it next to him, he didn't do it, this metropolitan governor was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground all day, and there were still five combat divisions on the way to Yangzhou, and the large-scale military training was about to begin, how could this metropolitan governor leave?

"Jingnanhou, that's exactly what I mean." Lu Jiude knew Huang Degong, who had ascended the throne before, and the Marquis of Jingnan was also strongly supportive, and the emperor also remembered his merits, and often remembered it.

"By all means, there are still a lot of things in Yangzhou, and it all depends on the coordination of the metropolitan governor, how can I leave Yangzhou now?" Huang Degong has a straightforward temperament, and he is not afraid of offending Lu Jiude if he has anything to say.

"Grandpa Lu, how about we go in and talk about it? It's a bit inappropriate to talk about this on the street, right? Luo Jian said with a smile.

Lu Jiude saw that Luo Jian still refused to accept the holy decree in his hand, and in desperation, he had the heart to turn around and leave, and he was afraid of ruining the emperor's plan, so after thinking about it, he had to hand the holy decree in his hand to the little eunuch behind him, and said, "You wait and go back to the post house first." ”

When everyone returned to the hall, Shi Kefa was still looking at the book intently, not noticing that everyone had come in.

After Luo Jian waited for everyone to sit down, he said to Lu Jiude: "Father-in-law Lu, it's not that Luo Jian doesn't want to enter the capital to face the saint, it's just that the situation is extremely tense, and Luo Jian can't be relaxed in the slightest. ”

When Lu Jiude heard this, he said in his heart that this is when I am a layman, this Duoduo has already retired from Shouzhou, far away from Nanjing, where is there any danger?

"Grandpa Guo, hasn't this Duoduo already retired? How tense is the situation? Lu Jiude felt that Luo Jian was a little alarmist.

Before Luo Jian could speak, Steward Luo stepped forward to report that the banquet was ready and invited you to dinner.

"Okay, eat first, and then it's not too late to finish eating." Luo Jian didn't bother to explain slowly to Lu Jiude alone, thinking that he wouldn't scare you into running back for a while, this meeting was in vain.

Luo Jian was preparing to have a banquet here, but Liu Liangzuo, who was far away in Shouzhou, was so angry that he smoked.

Since Gongshun Wang Kong Youde came to Shouzhou, in addition to going back to report to Duoduo, he actually lived in Liu Liangzuo's mansion, and Liu Liangzuo had no choice but to give up the mansion.

That's not all, this obedient king heard out of nowhere that Liu Liangzuo's sixth concubine was beautiful and lovely, and he wanted her to stay and serve, and Liu Liangzuo had no choice but to obey.

In the past two days, Kong Youde was very anxious, and asked Liu Liangzuo to gather all the departments to shave his hair and make it easy to wear, Liu Liangzuo thought that this was not only for the Qing Dynasty, but it was also necessary to shave his hair and make it easy to wear, but there was not much resistance.

It's just that the dispatch of these various heralds is now only two ways back, and the other two are unknown.

This Linhuai and Yingshang have already returned, saying that the generals will lead the troops to arrive soon, but there is no news from Fengyang and Huoqiu, who are nearby, and Liu Liangzuo knows that things are not good.

After the messenger returning from Linhuai reported carefully, Liu Liangzuo finally knew what was going on.

It turned out that Wang Xiuchu came to Shouzhou as a messenger from Yangzhou, which was only one of the four messengers sent by Yangzhou, and the other three had already gone to Linhuai, Fengyang, and Huoqiu. Now there is no news from these two places, and it must be that the two people were bewitched by the Yangzhou messenger and went to Yangzhou.

This made Liu Liangzuo very angry, his soldiers and horses were already few in the four towns, so half of them had gone, and with only the remaining people and horses, it would be a little difficult for him to be relied on by Prince Yu again.

I had the intention to send troops to catch up, but calculating the time, these two men and horses were afraid that they had left the garrison for a long time, and they couldn't catch up, and they were afraid that the Yangzhou army would come to respond, Liu Liangzuo was in a dilemma, and he was angry and scolded his mother in the new mansion for a day.

The dinner party at Luo Jian's mansion was indeed richly prepared, and Liu Zhaoji knew that Liu Lan felt sorry for Luo Jian and suffered a lot outside for nearly a month, so he specially compensated him.

Lu Jiude looked at the table full of delicacies, and the sense of humiliation in his heart suddenly decreased a lot, although the governor of the heart said that although he was domineering, he still regarded himself as a cha after all, although the etiquette was insufficient, but the quality of this banquet was very sufficient.

Shi Kefa was finally dragged from the seat to the dining table by Luo Jian and Liu Lan, and Liu Lan even threatened Shi Kefa, "If you don't eat anything if you read like this again, then this is the last one." ”

These words were too lethal to Shi Kefa, Shi Kefa carefully put the mobile phone in his arms, stood up and said, "Miss Liulan can't treat me like this, let's eat." Hearing this, Liu Lan snickered.

This banquet was only for the purpose of filling his stomach, which made Lu Jiude a little unhappy in his heart, how could there be a banquet for Qin Cha to catch the wind after only eating a few glasses of wine, and everyone buried their heads in the meal?

There is no singing and dancing to help the fun, and there is no flattery, which makes Gonggong Lu, who is a person close to the emperor, a little uncomfortable.

Although the shelf has been held, everyone at the table is talking and laughing, no one cares about Gonggong Lu who is holding the shelf, the topic of what he talks about is the military, politics and people's livelihood, Gonggong Lu doesn't understand much, and of course he can't interject.

By the time the meal was over, it was already dark, and Luo Jian led everyone into the hall.

Liu Lan had already finished eating, knowing that Luo Jian and they were going to have a meeting, she had already arranged for someone to start the generator and set up the screen.

Although Lu Jiude had long heard that there was a so-called "electric lamp" in this mansion that was as bright as day, he was also surprised when he saw it now, thinking in his heart, if the emperor's palace also had this magic lamp, wouldn't it look even more magnificent, and he had the heart to open his mouth to Luo Jian, but he still didn't dare after all.

After the people had finished serving tea and retreated, Luo Jian said: "I invited you here today to analyze and study the current situation we are facing and determine the main purpose of the next large-scale military training. ”

In front of the computer, the last tactical map was partially adjusted, Luo Jian walked to the screen, and pointed to the screen with the baton that Liu Lan had prepared for him.

"Everyone, please look at this direction, Duoduo is now retreating from Shouzhou, not because our soldiers and horses in Yangzhou and Luzhou are so strong that they are invincible, but because they are worried that Liu Liangzuo will stab them in the back. Now, according to reliable sources, Liu Liangzuo's troops have surrendered to the Manchus. ”

Hearing Luo Jian's words, Shi Kefa, who had already been mentally prepared, was taken aback, and Huang Degong said hatefully: "This guy still voted for Tartar after all."

"However, Liu Liangzuo's troops have not completely surrendered to the Qing army, and about half of their men have already arrived in Yangzhou." Luo Jian smiled.

The work done before was not in vain after all, Wang Xiuchu and others finally pulled half of Liu Liangzuo's men back, and the other rose and fell, which was much better than in history.

"Now that my Ming Dynasty no longer has a formed army north of Chuzhou, in other words, Duoduo no longer has any worries and can concentrate all his forces against us."

Hearing Luo Jian say this, Lu Jiude looked at the big green arrow on the screen pointing directly at Nanjing, his face twitched a few times, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

"And it's just Dordor all the way, to be honest, I'm not really worried, I'm worried about this and here." The baton in Luo Jian's hand pointed to Jiujiang and Huai'an.

"If the Manchu Azig troops ignore the rest of the Dashun army, turn around and go down the river, and join forces with Duoduo to encircle Nanjing, and it is unknown whether Liu Zeqing's troops can resist the attack of the Zhunta Department on the East Road, then we will face the greatest pressure."

Luo Jian's words made Lu Jiude's intuition frightened, thinking to himself Why didn't the emperor and the Ma Ge Department think of this, listening to what the Metropolitan Governor said, Nanjing is indeed not at ease.

"Xinghua, the rest of the Dashun Army? What do you mean by that? Shi Kefa heard another meaning from Luo Jian's words.

"According to reliable information, Li Zicheng was killed in Jiugongshan at the beginning of the month, and the rest of the troops have already entered the Pingjiang and Liuyang areas of Hunan."

As soon as they heard that Li Zicheng was dead, everyone was shocked, and Lu Jiude actually stood up and shouted loudly: "Thief, you also have today!" Seeing that no one echoed him, he sat down again.

Shi Kefa knew that from the time calculation, it was impossible for Luo Jian to send people to Hunan to learn so much about the situation, and these must be judged based on what had happened in history.

Luo Jian ignored Lu Jiude's clamour, and continued: "Since Li Zicheng is dead, the rest of the Dashun army will definitely lose its unified command, if it is not contacted in time, it will be broken by the Qing army, if the Dashun army is defeated, there will be no strength to contain the Azig army, and its army will go down the river, and it will be difficult to defend Nanjing." ”

Historically, after learning the news of Li Zicheng's death, the Azig tribe soon returned to Beijing to escape the summer, and most of the remnants of the Dashun army were killed by the surrendered Ming army.

Now that history has been rewritten, it is certainly unknown whether the Azig Ministry will return to Beijing as it did in history.

However, Luo Jian said something serious here, and he also wanted to scare Lu Jiude, so that he could go back to Nanjing to repay the fat emperor and Ma Shiying, and not to go to Nanjing all day long to let them visit.

Luo Jian pointed the baton in the direction of Huai'an again, drew a large circle along the coast with the baton, and then said:

"In this direction, although the strength of the Qing army's Zhunta Department is not as good as that of Duoduo and Azig, but Liu Zeqing's Department alone may be difficult to resist, once the Zhunta Department breaks through Liu Zeqing's defense area, it can go up the river and encircle Nanjing, and the situation will be even more difficult."

Historically, Liu Zeqing had surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time, and now because Ma Shiying informed him of the situation in Yangzhou in time, it actually aroused the active resistance of the Liu Ministry.

Returning to the chair and sitting down, Luo Jian took a sip of water from the water cup, saw that everyone was staring at the map and thinking seriously, and then continued:

"At present, although we have repelled the attack of Dord, we have not achieved a substantial victory, and the temporary withdrawal of Dordor is partly because there is no way to deal with some of our new weapons for the time being, and also to withdraw the fist. Therefore, we do not have any capital to be optimistic about the situation at the moment! ”

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, and even Lu Jiude felt that he had thought too naΓ―ve before.

At this time, the transmission of information was extremely slow, and the generals in the army relied more on the scouts to understand the surrounding situation, and their grasp of the general trend was generally much behind.

"So there's a lot that we have to do right now, and one of them is that I think we have to build a strong strategic mobility force. The establishment of these five operational divisions in Yangzhou was not for the purpose of sticking to a certain place, but for the purpose of existing as a strategic mobile force. ”

While Luo Jian was talking, Yi Bang took the signature pen and notebook given to him by Wang Qiang and kept making serious records, and Luo Jian secretly praised it in his heart when he saw it.

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Luo Jian continued:

"As a powerful strategic mobile force, judging from the current situation of these five divisions, it is obviously far from meeting the requirements, which requires us to seize all the time to train our troops, and only by training ourselves to be strong can we cope with the grim situation that is coming."

"Second, judging from the current situation, the rule of the Qing army in the occupied areas is not stable, and there are still many forces in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and other places that resist the Qing army.

Luo Jian had also raised this issue in his conversation with Shi Kefa before, and Shi Kefa also deeply regretted this, because he had not helped these rebels in time, and many of the rebels were quickly suppressed by the Qing soldiers.

"Third, please send someone to inform He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, as soon as possible, and ask him to consult with the rest of the Dashun army as soon as possible, integrate the rest of the Dashun army to contain the Azig army, and must not let the Azig army easily advance eastward."

Before Luo Jian finished speaking, Lu Jiude stood up and said to Luo Jian: "The thieves occupied my Kyoto, harmed my first emperor, and were the sworn enemies of the imperial court, I don't know why the metropolitan governor wanted to compromise with him, why not take advantage of Li Zicheng's death to exterminate the rest of the troops as soon as possible, and then plan to deal with the Qing army?" ”

Hearing Lu Jiude say this, Liu Zhaoji stood up suddenly, "Gonggong Lu is reasonable, Gonggong Lu is the commander of the Beijing camp, why don't you ask Gonggong Lu to lead the Beijing camp to exterminate the remaining thieves?" ”

When Lu Jiude heard Liu Zhaoji's words, his face was red and white for a while, and he held back for a long time before he said: "The Beijing camp is for the purpose of guarding the Beijing Division, how can it be moved lightly?" ”

"Then the Yangzhou army will immediately go out to exterminate the remnants of the thieves, if Duoduo goes south again, how about asking Gonggong Lu to lead the Beijing camp to resist the enemy?" Liu Zhaoji saw that Lu Jiude was still messing around, and he was so angry that he refused to let him go easily.

"I am the emperor's envoy, you Liu Zhaoji is only a general soldier, how dare you humiliate our family?" Lu Jiude was annoyed and angry, pointed at Liu Zhaoji and scolded.
