Chapter 212: Full Deployment
Looking at the sword of the Holy Decree Shang Fang on the table, listening to Yang He's boastful words on the side, Zheng Xunrui finally couldn't help it, it is said that he was only twenty-one years old, and he became the left waiter of the military department of Zheng Sanpin, which is something that everyone envies and is surprised by, but this left waiter of the military department is not so easy to do, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces of Yang He, who was once responsible for exterminating the liukou, is also concurrently serving as the left and right attendant of the military department, but unfortunately there are no good results.
"Okay, Yang He, don't brag there, I didn't remember what I said clearly, there are some things I told you not to say, you just said it, now it's okay, I'm in charge of the matter of exterminating the Liukou, I don't know how many people are watching, and Lord Hong, the governor of the five provinces, do you think people are comfortable."
Yang He didn't care.
"Young Master, my subordinates believe that you will definitely be able to exterminate the Liukou, Lord Yang He and Lord Chen Qiyu, how can they compare with you."
"Nonsense, you think it's so easy to exterminate the rogue."
This time, Yang He stopped talking, scratching his head and laughing.
Zheng Xunrui slowly stood up and spoke to everyone.
"The Liukou have all concentrated in the direction of Xingyang, but they are very cautious, this time they have suffered a heavy blow, they will never be willing to do it face to face with the Zheng Jiajun, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Sichuan and Shandong, the various armies sound terrifying, in fact, it is difficult to do anything, if you completely rely on them to exterminate the Liukou, I am afraid that the end will be similar to that of Lord Yang He and Lord Chen Qiyu, so our deployment is very important, we must concentrate the elite troops, closely follow the Liukou, Even if they run to the ends of the earth, they must follow and exterminate them on the spot. ”
"There are still twelve Liukou, the most powerful of which is Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong and other three, among the remaining nine, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, the strength is medium, the rest of the Heavenly Star, shoot the Heavenly Chaos 100,000 Reincarnation King Hengtian King, Nine Dragon Shun Heavenly King, etc., the strength is not good, the twelve Liukou, the total strength is about 250,000, thinking of completely exterminating it in one go, this is unrealistic, and it can't be done, so we must have a focus."
"Li Zicheng Lao Huihui and Zhang Xianzhong have experienced more battles, and their strength is also good, if they are united, it is indeed difficult to deal with, but unfortunately they can't unite in a short time, and there will even be fights, thinking about exterminating them first, it's too difficult, so this is not our first goal."
"Weak rogues, we don't have to spend too much energy and time for the time being."
"Our first goal is to completely exterminate He Yilong and He Jin, the king of Zuojin, these two rogues, just together, their original task is to deal with the two armies of Huguang and Sichuan, although they have gathered in the direction of Xingyang, but their actions are not very fast, presumably they have looted a lot of money, and they are also very confident in their own strength."
"According to the information detected by the scouts, they are not particularly clear about the battle situation in the direction of Fengyang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, when they informed the rogues, the words were not clear, which shows that they are selfish, so the time for the rogues to gather in Xingyang will not be too early, and it will be very good to be able to concentrate in Xingyang again before the end of the month."
"Ge Li Yan He Yilong and Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, the total number of the two Liukou is close to 50,000, there is a certain combat effectiveness, there are also some cavalry, the information obtained yesterday, they are still active in the area of Baofeng and Lushan, the speed of action is very slow, according to my expectations, even if they withdraw to the Xingyang area, they will also evacuate in the direction of Xinzheng, Yuzhou, Tanxian County, and will not forget to loot along the way."
"The army of Shaanxi is still gathering in the direction of Tongguan, and it is difficult to participate in the battle for the time being, the two armies of Huguang and Sichuan, stationed in the area of Nanyang Mansion, they can participate in the fighting, but I doubt their combat effectiveness, the army of Henan, for the time being, they have fought many times with the Liukou, and almost lost their combat effectiveness, and the armies in the direction of Shanxi and Shandong have just set off and cannot be counted on."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui looked at the map on the table and made up his mind.
"The emperor is bent on exterminating the Liukou, so he mobilized a multi-way army, in fact, the effect is not good, the local government in Henan can no longer bear it, just to supply grain and grass, it will not be able to bear it, the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, which will inevitably lead to the inefficiency of the army, so I decided to change the previous deployment and readjust."
"The armies of Huguang and Sichuan have already entered the territory of Henan, so they should not withdraw, and the armies of Shandong and Shanxi should not enter the territory of Henan for the time being, but they must block the escape road to the east and north of the Liukou, maybe they cannot completely block the escape of the Liukou, but they must not allow the Liukou brigade to escape, and the army of Shaanxi will strictly guard Tongguan and Hannan to prevent a large number of Liukou from entering."
"Mr. Xu, immediately draw up an edict, ordering Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang stationed in Yun County, to lead the Tianxiong Army, day and night, to rush to Xinzheng, Henan Province, within three days, to make peace with Hui, and order the Sichuan General Soldier Deng to lead the sergeants under his command to quickly assemble in Tan County and station in Tan County."
"The vast army of Hu suffered a crushing defeat last year and has not yet fully recovered, and continues to be stationed in Nanyang Province."
"Doesn't the Liukou like to run, then we will take a two-pronged approach, combining movement and static, the Zheng Jiajun and the Tianxiong Army are responsible for chasing and exterminating and pursuing the Liukou, Huguang, Sichuan, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, the Sixth Route Army is stationed in place, waiting for dispatch, I will see how smart the Liukou are, and in which direction to evacuate."
When Zheng Xunrui deployed, Xu Wanghua had already begun to write documents.
Not long after Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua also finished writing.
After reading the document written by Xu Wanghua, Zheng Xunrui spoke again.
"You guys also talk about it, look at my deployment, and what is not comprehensive."
No one spoke, and after a while, Xu Wanghua spoke carefully.
"My lord, the 200,000 taels of gold and 400,000 taels of silver allocated by the emperor are specially used to exterminate the rogues, and my lord still has to talk about how to distribute and deal with them."
Zheng Xunrui frowned, the emperor allocated gold and silver, and all the armies looked at it with a blank eye, on the surface, more than two million taels of silver, a lot of money, but to really distribute it, it was not enough at all, and all the armies had the problem of arrears of silver, and after these silvers went down, they could pay some silver at most.
After waving his hand, Zheng Xunrui spoke.
"I won't consider how to distribute the silver, Zheng Jinhong and Mr. Xu will think about it, Zheng Jiajun doesn't use one or two of the silver anyway, I have a principle, that is, the army with many military achievements, the allocation of silver taels must be more, the army of Shanxi and Shandong in Shaanxi will not enter Henan for the time being, and it is still in this province, so there is no need for so much silver, as for the matter of the imperial court's military salary, it is not a problem for me to consider, how to distribute it, you decide."
Walking out of the house, Zheng Jinhong followed out.
"Young master, the amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and grain seized has all been counted."
Zheng Xunrui turned his head to look at Zheng Jinhong and did not speak.
"In the first battle of the mountain pass, 60,000 taels of gold and 1,700,000 taels of silver were seized, and some other jewels, which were converted into a total of 2.4 million taels of silver, and in the first battle of Shouzhou, 80,000 taels of gold and 2,200,000 taels of silver were seized, which was equivalent to 3.1 million taels of silver, and in two battles, 170,000 stones of grain were captured, and 21,200 war horses were captured, of which 18,200 war horses were captured in the first battle of the mountain pass, and 3,000 war horses were captured in the first battle of Shouzhou......"
After Zheng Jinhong finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui thought for a while and spoke.
"In the first battle of the mountain col and the first battle of Shouzhou, the Zheng family army lost more than 5,000 soldiers, and the relief of one hundred taels of silver and ten stones of grain per person must be in place, and it must not be saved, and it will be dealt with in accordance with this method in the future, and the soldiers who are seriously injured and cannot continue to fight will also be subsidized with one hundred taels of silver, and some food will be given so that they can live well."
"Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong lost a lot of money and food, their lives are not good, almost all of the money and property looted along the way have been captured by us, hundreds of thousands of troops, I see what they eat, so they are concentrated towards Xingyang, I will not go to encircle and suppress for the time being, they have no food, and the team is naturally chaotic."
"Ge Li Yan He Yilong and Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, they robbed a lot of money and grain, and their lives were quite nourishing, so they must be taken down and all the money and food must be snatched over, Jin Hong, you have to remember that fighting is not only to destroy the opponent, killing the enemy by killing one thousand and losing eight hundred, it is not enough to blindly rush and fight, sometimes, take their money and food, let them fall into a desperate situation, and they will be in chaos, and then take advantage of this opportunity to hit them hard, you can get the biggest victory at the lowest cost."
Zheng Jinhong looked at Zheng Xunrui for a while before speaking.
"My subordinates have been thinking about the deployment of the young master, and I feel that the young master is not going to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and I feel that I can't understand it, so this is what it means."
Zheng Xunrui's expression became stern.
"Jinhong, you will have to take on a big responsibility in the future, every time you deploy a battle, every time you summarize a battle, you have to be careful, don't always think about money and food, this is only one aspect, what is more important is to understand the deep meaning of the combat deployment, he will go to Liaodong one day, facing a more dangerous situation, if you can't consider it all, you will suffer a big loss."
Zheng Jinhong's face turned pale, looking at Zheng Xunrui, speechless, everyone knows the danger in Liaodong, no one wants to go to that fire pit, is the young master going to jump into the fire pit in the future.
"Think about the problem farther, once Zheng Jiajun has made a reputation, it will inevitably take on more important combat tasks, this time I don't want Yang He to report in detail in the capital, I just want to leave some time for Zheng Jiajun, but unfortunately Yang He didn't understand what I meant."
