Lu Xiangsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a relationship with Master Zhang. Xiang Jin, your eldest brother and I still have some ability to see people - but I can't see through Master Zhang, he is different from other officials......

Lu Xiangjin was a little stunned, and asked, "Big brother, why is that Lord Zhang different?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said word by word: "Previously, I had been secretly observing the tension with the idea of listening to his words and watching his deeds. Later, I also paid close attention to his affairs in Ningyuan, and now it seems that Zhang Li has great talents! ”

Lu Xiangjin pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Lord Zhang said that Jiannu is afraid that he will enter the palace from Xuanfu, so how should our Tianxiong Army deal with it?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng began to pace around the room, and after a long time, Lu Xiangsheng spoke: "Xiangjin, our Tianxiong Army belongs to the guest army in Xuanfu, and the supply of food and salary is not in our hands......

After a pause, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "With Zhang Zongheng's character, if Jiannu enters the Kou, he will definitely transfer all his troops to the direction of the Beijing Division. In this way, if Xuanfu loses the city, he is to protect the capital, and the court will not blame him. All the grain and grass are in the hands of the governor of Xuanda, and I am afraid that it is impossible for the Tianxiong army to fight if they want to. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's words were very thorough, that is to say, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, must have "strategic shift" when he encountered the Tartars. It is best for the Tartars to retreat back to Shenyang when they have enough of Xuanfu and Shanxi, and then Governor Zhang can return to Xuanfu to achieve the effect of "avoiding war".

At present, the supply of food and grass for the Tianxiong army is poor, and the "friendly army" of Xuanfu is completely unreliable, so it is impossible to fight alone, at most it is just to stay in Zhangjiabao.

Lu Xiangjin frowned. He asked, "What can I do?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a long time and sighed. Said: "I'll go to see Father-in-law Gao, and try to find him to allocate some grain and grass." When the time comes, the Tartars will enter the Kou. Only then can our Tianxiong Army be prepared. ”

The Gao Gonggong in Lu Xiangsheng's mouth is Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the Xuanda Overseer, who is a big celebrity in front of Chongzhen. Chongzhen could not trust the military generals of Wenchen, so he sent a large number of eunuchs to supervise the army. These eunuchs controlled a great deal of power, and that was grain and grass.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and without the support of the grain and grass, it is impossible for the generals to rebel.

The supply of grain and grass in Xuanfu was controlled by the eunuch Gao Qiqian Gao Gonggong of Xuanda's eunuch army, so Lu Xiangsheng said this.

"Big brother, do you want to ask Father-in-law Gao for grain and grass? This...... I'm afraid this ......"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Try your best!" ”

……

The entire regimental mountain fort is now in the second level of combat readiness. After all, Jiannu has not yet launched an attack, so the combat readiness level has not yet reached the first level.

Rao is like this, the soldiers and civilians of Tuanshan Fort can already feel the tremendous pressure -- when they were at odds with the generals of Liaoxi before, the combat readiness level was only level three.

Lord Zhang's earliest guard was Gao Yuanliang, General Gao is now a general, and the second-in-command of the military side of Tuanshan Fort under tension is needless to say.

Later, Master Zhang's guards were wood, but Brother Mu is now also promoted to the commander of the musket team - Pan Batian is the leader of the Tuanshan Army musket team.

Chaolu's current position is the thousand general manager of the cavalry team of the Tuanshan Army. And the cavalry team belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Lord Zhang. Therefore, Lord Zhang's security work is in charge of Chaolu.

This matter is not trivial, and it has caused a lot of discussion in Tuanshan Fort.

But isn't it, Lord Zhang actually used the Mongols as his guards. What does this mean......

In the meeting hall of Tuanshan Fort, Gao Yuanliang, Yesheng, Izawa, Mu, Chaolu and others all stood under the hall, and it was Zhang Li who sat high on the main seat.

Wood and Asaro are newcomers. Basically, they didn't speak much, and the two of them stood at the end of the chamber. Stand with your hands down.

The people who spoke, mainly the rest.

Zhang Li glanced at everyone. He opened his mouth and asked, "Yuan Liang, how many soldiers can the Tuanshan Army currently have that can fight against Jiannu?" ”

As soon as these words landed, Gao Yuanliang immediately thought about it-what Lord Zhang is asking now is not about soldiers, but about "soldiers who can fight against Jiannu", so they must be elite soldiers.

Zhang Li also has an account in his heart, in fact, saying that "the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and the ten thousand are invincible" is nonsense, just like the myth of "the invincible Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire" in later generations. Now the key is to make a good lead and smash the psychological advantage of Jiannu.

However, the first battle is the most difficult to fight, and the recruits are unbearable!

Gao Yuanliang pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, if you fight against the Menghan Eight Banners and Two Tartars, the 15,000 people of the Tuanshan Army can go into battle. If you fight against Jiannu, the number of troops that can be invested in the first battle is about 5,000 people! ”

Zhang Zhang nodded slightly, which means that under the current conditions, only one-third of the troops of the Tuanshan Army can directly "confront" the Jurchens.

For this number, the tension is quite satisfied. After all, the Tuanshan Army is not a heavenly soldier, and it is impossible for him to "plug in and open all the plugs", and Jiannu will not be stupid enough to send it up to "line up and shoot". To have 5,000 people to participate in the first battle is already a remarkable training achievement.

Looking at the Ming army, how many people dare to fight with the Jiannu Zhen Tartar? I'm afraid there isn't one!

Suddenly, Zhang Li's heart ached, and he remembered Lu Xiangsheng. When Lu Xiangsheng finally died on the battlefield, wasn't it thousands of remnants of soldiers who were tough with tens of thousands of Tartars? Lu Xiangsheng was surrounded by the main force of the Qing army at that time, and he led thousands of his own soldiers in the center, Hu Dawei to protect the left wing, and Yang Guozhu to protect the right wing. As a result, the two general soldiers shamelessly left Lu Xiangsheng and fled, and Lu Xiangsheng led his own troops to die in battle.

In the face of the mortal situation, some people choose to seek benevolence, such as Lu Xiangsheng; Some people choose to live in secret, such as Hong Chengchou-

For a moment, Zhang Li's thoughts drifted a little farther away......

Gao Yuanliang and the others saw that Zhang Zhang seemed to be thinking about something, and they didn't dare to disturb, and they all stood solemnly, waiting for Zhang Zhang to speak.

After a long time, Zhang Li reined in his thoughts and finally spoke: "Jiannu is about to enter the army, and this official has decided to go out of the battle with 15,000 people, leaving only Pan Batian to sit in Tuanshan Fort to defend our territory. ”

Gao Yuanliang was taken aback, and even Izawa, Mu, and Chaolu all showed incredible expressions.

Yi Ze glanced at Gao Yuanliang, and saw that Gao Yuanliang was contemplating and thinking, so he gritted his teeth and gave a military salute to Zhang Li, and said directly: "My lord, the foundation of our Tuanshan Army is in Tuanshan Fort. If you go to Xuanfu to fight with all your army, I'm afraid those people in the north will have a chance! ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, understanding that the "people in the north" in Yi Ze's mouth referred to Zu Dashou, so he explained: "Zu Dashou will not move." This time this official is leading the army to Beizhili Qinwang, Zu Dashou himself does not come, it doesn't matter, he will not be stupid to come to attack our Tuanshan Fort. (To be continued.) )
