199 Alfalfa ditch
It was a bit of a difficult question, and for a while, no one spoke.
Hu Guang sincerely hopes that someone can propose a place that is better than the one he expected. I didn't see anyone speak, and I glanced at the past, including the eldest brother, who was frowning and thinking. He was a little disappointed, as if no one could come up with a good place.
At this time, Wang Heizi, who was standing behind him, suddenly moved, Hu Guang hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that he wanted to say but hesitated, thinking that he was afraid of his identity, so he hurriedly said: "Heizi, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, everyone here, whether it is the leader or not, is the same!" ”
Wang Heizi was embarrassed, and when he heard that Hu Guang seemed to have misunderstood him, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No...... That's not what it means. ”
When the other leaders heard the voice, they all looked up, and seeing this situation, Hu Hansan couldn't help but interject and said: "Heizi, what are you still hesitating about, Gongzi asked you to say it, it's good that you are the first person to follow Gongzi, what are you afraid of!" ”
As soon as Wang Heizi heard this, he looked firm, looked at Hu Guang and said: "Childe, the alfalfa ditch in Huanglong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is hidden in the deep mountains, do you think it's okay?" ”
As soon as he heard what he said, Hu Guang realized that Wang Heizi had thought of the place of Alfalfa Gully, but it was now occupied by Wang Jiayin, so he hesitated to say it.
Wang Heizi can now say alfalfa ditch, which shows that he really thinks of himself as a person called the heavenly army. Hu Guang was very pleased, and immediately asked: "You can tell me in detail about the topography of Alfalfa Gully, all kinds of situations are fine, let's discuss whether it is suitable or not!" ”
Wang Heizi suddenly became the focus of the audience, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, listening carefully to what he had to say.
Wang Heizi's eloquence was not very good, and Hu Guang listened to his narration. While asking for details, even later, he took a pen and paper from Sun Kewang, who was recording on the side, and began to draw a map.
Needless to say, the place chosen by Wang Jiayin as a cottage is indeed a dangerous place. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are ravines everywhere, and even if the officers and men of the brigade want to drive in, it is not so easy, and it is easy to get lost.
In history, after Wang Jiayin was defeated by Hong Chengchou, he turned into Alfalfa Ditch and escaped Hong Chengchou's pursuit.
The leaders listened to Wang Heizi's narration, and they all kept nodding their heads, in their opinion. This place is really good.
But when Wang Heizi finished speaking, Hu Guang suddenly threw down the quill with a little hope, shook his head and said, "This place is not very ideal!" ”
Originally, inspired by Wang Heizi, several people had thought of similar places, and they were about to talk about it, but when they heard Hu Guang's words, they couldn't help but stop first and see the situation.
"Second brother. Isn't this a good place, why not? Hu Kuan was also a little puzzled. opened his mouth and asked Hu Guangdao.
"Big brother, everything else in this place is good, but there is no water, and there is no way to grow food." Hu Guang showed a wry smile and shook his head in reply.
This side is all loess high slopes, and now it is the Xiaoice River period. Not only is the climate extremely cold, but there is also a drought for many years, and it is impossible to hide in the corners of the ravines and have the water needed to grow crops.
When the crowd heard. There was silence. Including people who originally thought of a few places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, they also knew that those places were actually short of water, who made this a loess high slope!
Suddenly, Liu Daneng spoke, and he asked tentatively: "Childe, how about our cavalry battalion solve the food?" ”
Just like now, the cavalry battalion is dispatched to the surrounding villages and towns to fight local tyrants and grab grain, which is also very good!
When many leaders heard this, they all nodded silently at the bottom, which was a good idea.
But Hu Guang still shook his head, and he asked Liu Daneng rhetorically: "How much time do you think it will take to get out of that place in Alfalfa Gully?" How many places around you are enough to attack and feed more than 2,000 people for a long time, and even more in the future? ”
Liu Daneng was speechless, the alfalfa ditch was originally biased, and it would not be easy to come out once, and then find a village or town that could be beaten down, and then transport it back, the key is to do it often, it seems really unrealistic.
"Also, the government is already very concerned about us, they may not let us go in Alfalfagou, and then send troops to follow up, do you still have time to come out and fight villages and towns?"
This time, no one spoke, needless to say, if according to what Childe said, alfalfa ditch is indeed inappropriate, which is really a pity!
Alfalfa ditch is actually only suitable for temporary rest, and it is okay to stay for a short time. If you want to be a base, you can't do it!
However, in fact, there is an alternative, which is to reserve enough food, so that the soldiers of the Heavenly Army can use enough food for the previous year, and then hide in the alfalfa ditch, and wait until the end of next year, when the Liaodong Jianyu invades the land of Gyeonggi, the elite of the Shaanxi border army will go to Qinwang, and then slip out of the alfalfa ditch at that time, and the pressure will be less.
But Hu Guang did not say this plan, because in his opinion, this plan also has too many shortcomings.
For example, if you ask the Heavenly Army to hide in the alfalfa ditch, how much of the materials needed can be collected, and whether it is enough, is the question. Also, the supplies brought in are a little less, and more than 2,000 people can only lie down on the corpse, and try to eat a little less, is this realistic?
And what about firearms? What about training? With such a large number of people hiding in a place where there is only consumption and no output, it is really a bad idea. All this is still based on the fact that the officers and soldiers do not come to look for trouble, otherwise they will not be able to win the war, and the consumption of materials alone will not be bearable.
Hu Guang sighed inwardly and looked up at the people present to see if they had any other suggestions.
After a long time, no one spoke, and Hu Guang couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other place?" ”
Wang Heizi was a little frustrated, and his usually inflexible brain finally put forward an idea in front of many leaders, but he was rejected by Gongzi.
Seeing that no one replied to Childe's words, he couldn't help blurting out: "Childe, if you can't even use alfalfa ditch, then there will be no place." Why don't you just want any base areas and no base areas, where the officers and soldiers are weak, they will fight there, and you still don't believe that there are the elite of the border army everywhere? ”
When you hear it, yes, why didn't you think of it just now? And not all Ming troops were as elite as they are today. For example, last time a Ming army like Hu Hansan, couldn't he beat him!
All of a sudden, several leaders agreed, and they all believed that the strength of the current Heavenly Army, and that it should not be much of a problem to fight the armies of those guards, the forts of local defense, and so on.
Hu Guang listened silently, and he understood that people at this time should not attach importance to the concept of base areas, which is why so many people echoed Wang Heizi's proposal. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you!
My daughter went to bed a little early last night, and I rarely had time to watch a movie alone with my wife, and friends who have free time can watch "I Am a Passerby", which is indeed possible, and some of the words in it are very sympathetic.
