Chapter 527: The Heroes (2)
The first to speak was Zheng Jinhong, whether in terms of qualifications or identity, Zheng Jinhong should be the first to speak.
"Young master, the subordinates think that the army should enter the Baoding Mansion to fight, and cannot go to the rescue of Yanqing City, since Dolgon adopts the tactics of siege, then its main energy must be on the combat aspect, and the Houjin Tartar team is huge, and it needs too much grain and grass to maintain, if the grain and grass are not good, its team will not be able to maintain, and in terms of the number of troops, the Zheng family army will go directly to rescue Yanqing City, there is also a great danger, and the subordinates estimate that the Houjin Tartar will definitely take the way of dividing troops to fight, They have no opponents in Beizhili, and they can attack boldly with confidence, but if they fight as a whole, the speed is too slow, and the looted money and food may not be able to meet the needs of the army......"
After Zheng Jinhong spoke, everyone followed to speak, most of whom agreed with Zheng Jinhong's suggestion.
It should be said that from the perspective of the overall operational deployment, Zheng Jinhong's suggestion is completely correct, Zheng Jiajun entered the Beizhili operation, the main task is to eliminate the living force of the Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Tartars will inevitably adopt the strategy of dividing troops, this is exactly the situation that Zheng Jiajun hopes to see, as long as the combat path of the Houjin Tartars is mastered and a certain road is given a devastating blow to the Houjin Tartars, then the situation will completely exist.
But in terms of how to fight, everyone said very little, whether the Zheng Jiajun divided the troops to fight, whether they directly attacked Houjin Tartar, or carried out ambush operations through a certain period of reconnaissance, and so on.
These issues are also critical and must be considered.
Finally, Wen Kun spoke.
Wen Kun's identity is also special, he is Wen Manshan's own brother, and he also has good ability, especially during the period when he served as a fellow governor in Huai'an Mansion, he governed the huge Huai'an Mansion in an orderly manner, and many times the prefect Wu Weiye consulted Wen Kun's opinion when dealing with political affairs.
"My lord, my subordinates feel that Zheng Zongbing's suggestion is correct, and the army cannot attack Yanqing City. This completely alarmed the Houjin Tartars, who moved fast and were able to assemble in a very short time, if an army of 150,000 joined forces to fight. Even if Zheng Jiajun and Lord Hong join forces, they may not be able to achieve a complete victory, but may worsen the situation. ”
"In terms of specific operations, my subordinates are not very familiar with it, so they can only make suggestions. The subordinates felt that Liu Zongbing had just mentioned the possibility of ambush operations, and it was difficult to say that it was difficult to do this, not to mention that the Houjin Tartars were all over the North Zhili, and when the scouts were scouting, it was very likely that they would meet the Houjin Tartars unexpectedly and expose their whereabouts. It's not as good as preparing for a face-to-face fight......"
After Wen Kun said this, he attracted a lot of surprised eyes, you must know that Wen Kun has never been in contact with military affairs, and it is not easy to participate in the discussion for the first time, and he can actually put forward such an incisive suggestion.
Zheng Xunrui looked at Wen Kun and nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with Wen Kun's speech, in fact, Wen Kun's speech at this time was also the best time to establish his prestige. If you don't have any qualifications, it will be difficult to lead one side in the future.
After Wen Kun finished speaking, Li Yan followed and spoke.
"The subordinate thinks that Master Wen's suggestion is completely feasible, and the subordinate has traveled in the area of Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion. The terrain in this area is very flat, basically plains, there are not many places that can set up ambushes, and the requirements for ambush operations are very high. The subordinates think that the Zheng Jiajun moves faster and more fierce than them, so when fighting against them, they should also occupy a certain advantage, and at the same time, the Zheng Jiajun goes deep into the North Zhili to fight, and the Houjin Tartars are completely unaware, in this case, the Zheng Jiajun can effectively cover their whereabouts on the basis of launching a sudden attack, and strive to destroy as much as possible the power of the Houjin Tartars within the time when their whereabouts are not exposed. This should be Zheng Jiajun's best chance. ”
"The speed of the Houjin Tartars is fast, and the attack must be very fast, and the subordinates believe that since Dolgon has changed the deployment of the operation, it will make adjustments in the shortest possible time, and the Houjin Tartars must have begun to attack, in this case, the Zheng Jiajun cannot delay time, and also needs to attack in the shortest possible time."
"The possibility of 50,000 troops wanting to completely cover up their whereabouts is not very high, if Zheng Jiajun has been waiting in Tianjin, the news may soon leak out, then Zheng Jiajun will lose the opportunity to attack suddenly......"
Li Yan's suggestion, from a professional point of view, is more detailed, after all, he has participated in and planned the battle.
After Li Yan finished speaking, Xu Jikuang spoke next.
"My lord, my subordinates feel that many of the suggestions in front of me are already very complete, and my subordinates have not had many suggestions, mainly suggesting that the Zheng family army needs to adopt an overall combat approach, although the Houjin Tartars have 150,000 people, but they have divided their troops, and the number of personnel on each road is not very large, in order to ensure the complete victory of the battle, the subordinates suggest that every battle, if possible, should maintain the advantage of the army, so as to ensure the complete victory of each battle to the greatest extent." ……
The speeches of Wen Kun, Li Yan, Xu Jikuang and others impressed Zheng Jinhong, but what he admired even more was the young master, after all, it was the young master who could discover and use talents, according to the identity of Wen Kun and others, on other occasions, the subordinates of other officials did not have such an opportunity to speak at all, let alone follow him.
The thoughts of the rest of the officers of Zheng Jiajun were similar to Zheng Jinhong's, and they found that no matter who they were, as long as they came to Zheng Xunrui's side, they could always quickly become wise.
Zheng Xunrui knew the reason, and when he was along the way, he talked with Wen Kun and others many times, telling them the general situation of Zheng Jiajun, as well as the combat characteristics of the Houjin Tartars, etc., and also analyzed the many situations that may be encountered in the battle, as well as the corresponding solutions, etc., Wen Kun and others showed extraordinary understanding and analysis ability.
"Very good, this group of heroes meeting, it was very good, you all put forward a lot of opinions and suggestions, Wen Kun, Li Yan, Li Panlong and Xu Jikuang, the four of them, are responsible for sorting out all the opinions and suggestions tonight, and at the same time, you jointly discuss and put forward the final proposal, I will make a final decision tomorrow morning."
After the crowd dispersed, Zheng Xunrui began to look at the map, which was his daily homework.
Hong Xinyu entered the Chinese military tent.
"Young master, the cavalry battalion is asking to see the thousands of households."
"Oh, tell him in."
Sun Zhixin's face turned a little pale and lost his former composure.
Seeing Sun Zhixin's expression, Zheng Xunrui suddenly thought of something, Sun Chengzong's hometown is in Gaoyang County, under the jurisdiction of Baoding Mansion, which must be the place where the Houjin Tartars must attack, and in history, Sun Chengzong's death was because the Houjin Tartars attacked Gaoyang County, Sun Chengzong led the whole family to participate in the battle, and as a result, Gaoyang City was broken, and more than 40 people of Sun Chengzong's family were all killed.
"Sun Zhixin, what's the matter with you."
Since it is a marching battle, there are not so many things about mothers-in-law and mothers, and they are straightforward when they speak.
Perhaps under the influence of Zheng Xunrui, Sun Zhixin immediately spoke.
"My lord, my subordinates asked to go to my hometown to have a look."
Zheng Xunrui frowned and spoke.
"Sun Zhixin, the big war is coming, don't you feel very abrupt when you make such a request, the itinerary of the army is absolutely confidential, and there can be no leakage in the slightest, what if you go back to your hometown Gaoyang County and expose your whereabouts."
Sun Zhixin lowered his head, but still spoke.
"The subordinates are worried about the safety of their families, please go back to their hometown to see, the subordinates also know that they should not make such a request, but the subordinates are really worried about grandpa, grandpa is old, and his subordinates wrote to grandpa before, asking grandpa to come to Huai'an, but grandpa refused, unwilling to leave Gaoyang, subordinates know that if Houjin Tatar attacks Gaoyang County, grandpa will definitely resist......"
Sun Zhixin couldn't go on anymore.
Zheng Xunrui's mood can be understood, but from the overall situation, he will never agree to Sun Zhixin's request.
"Sun Zhixin, I know what you said, your request cannot be approved, in front of me to talk about this matter, I took into account Mr. Sun's entrustment and expectations for you, I will not be held accountable, if you show the idea of going home on any other occasion, I will not spare it, Zheng Jiajun's military discipline and military regulations, you are clear, when you first entered Zheng Jiajun, I made it clear that if you can't adapt, after this battle, you can go home directly."
Seeing Sun Zhixin's eyes red, Zheng Xunrui spoke sternly.
"The man's husband, if you have tears, you don't flick, raise your head, and prepare to fight with the Houjin Tartar."
Sun Zhixin's body trembled, and he raised his hand to wipe his eyes.
"Yes, my subordinates don't dare to mention going home anymore, my subordinates won't leave the Zheng family's army, my subordinates will definitely fight to kill the enemy, please see the performance of my subordinates."
After Sun Zhixin left, Zheng Xunrui quickly walked to the side of the map and began to gesture with his hands, his face became serious and gloomy, could history really repeat itself again.
Wen Kun and others, who were sorting out and discussing the battle plan, received a note from Hong Xinyu, which said that the operation would start in Gaoyang County.
This was Zheng Xunrui's order, Wen Kun and the others were a little strange, but it was just a moment of effort, they understood the meaning, and everyone quickly began to deploy the battle plan according to this requirement.
In the military tent, Zheng Xunrui paced in the room, muttering to himself.
"Sun Chengzong, is this really your ending, if the Houjin Tartars have already begun to attack Gaoyang County, then it will be too late......" (To be continued.) )
