When the 30,000 army entered Runing Mansion in Henan, it was already mid-November, the climate became cold, and I don't know what the reason was, this year's climate was very strange, every day was the north wind blowing, walking on the road made people a little unable to open their eyes, which was bitter for the marching sergeant, who could only grit his teeth and persevere.

The prison army was afraid of the cold, but at this time it was even more bitter, and every day was in the carriage, curled up in the bed, which invisibly delayed the army's trip.

A heavy snowfall came down without warning.

It snowed heavily for a whole day, and the official road was covered with snow, and it looked like it was white all around.

This kind of scenery is an excellent beauty in the eyes of literati and ink writers, but in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian and others, it is the worst situation, the heavy snow not only affects the march, but also affects the encampment, you must know that the march of 30,000 troops, it is impossible to live in the county of Fuzhou, and can only camp in open places on both sides of the official road, the heavy snow makes it very difficult to set up camp, and also makes the sergeants suffer extraordinary suffering.

The 30,000 troops commanded by Lu Xiangsheng, except for the 5,000 Tianxiong Army, the remaining 20,000 people were all drawn from all over the country, including the sergeants of the Shaanxi Guard, these people's combat effectiveness is average, and they can never be regarded as strong, and the long-term arrears of military salaries have made the morale of these sergeants low.

This is also the rule of the supervising army, in charge of money and food, must be thinking of getting benefits from it, if all of them are distributed to the sergeants below, wouldn't the supervising army get nothing, and besides, the supervising army wants to control the army, if you can't make a fuss from the money and food, it is also very difficult, after all, the supervising army is not with the sergeant on weekdays, why should people listen to you.

The consistent practice of the supervising army. The first is to deduct military salaries, and the second is to envelop the senior officers in the army, and when facing the senior officers, they are given a certain amount of silver at the same time, and they are willing to recommend it to the above, which makes the senior officers very excited, and unconsciously surround the supervising army. Such an approach naturally weakens the power of the manager.

The imperial court and even the emperor knew about these practices of the supervising army. They are supportive, and by doing so, the commander can weaken the power of the commander and avoid the situation of the commander from supporting the army and respecting himself, and there are too many such lessons in history.

The problem of military salaries, coupled with the harsh climate, made the morale of the 30,000 troops under Lu Xiangsheng's command very low. Lu Xiangsheng was very anxious, he discussed with the supervisor several times to see if he could give more military pay to the sergeant, the war was imminent, this approach could boost morale to the greatest extent, and the effect was immediate.

Gao Qiqian understands the truth here, but he won't do it.

Lu Xiangsheng is high and arrogant. There are a lot of rumors in the court, and there is almost no connection between Lu Xiangsheng and the eunuchs, and like many civil officials, Lu Xiangsheng looks down on the eunuchs in his bones, who is Gao Qiqian. What kind of formation has he never seen, when he was in Wuchang Mansion, he felt the indifference in Lu Xiangsheng's bones, in such a situation, how could Gao Qiqian and Lu Xiangsheng be of the same mind.

30,000 troops, except for the 5,000 Tianxiong army under Lu Xiangsheng, the rest of the senior officers. Gao Qiqian has been enveloped in a short period of time, this is his ability, Lu Xiangsheng is not particularly clear about this, it should be said that at this time, the 30,000 army is basically controlled by Gao Qiqian.

In terms of how to fight, there is also a contradiction between Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian, when he set off from Wuchang Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng meant to enter Nanyang Mansion directly from Xiangyang and smash Huanglong, Gao Qiqian thought that he should make a detour to Runing Mansion and enter Nanyang Mansion, and after mastering many situations, he launched an attack on Liukou.

In the end, Gao Qiqian's suggestion was adopted, and at this time, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly woke up to the fact that Gao Qiqian had not been in the army for a long time, but in a short period of time, he had already enveloped most of the officers in the army, such as generals, deputy generals and even guerrilla generals, which made Lu Xiangsheng very angry, and he was even more unkind to Gao Qiqian.

The army arrived in Xinyang Prefecture, and Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qi dived into the state city.

Jigong Mountain in Xinyang Prefecture is the place where the Red Lady rebelled, and when the two entered the state capital, Zhizhou and many officials were cautious, for fear of being punished.

Xinyang Prefecture Prefecture, wings.

There are sergeants waiting outside the wing, and no one is allowed to approach, and the officers above the rank of general are gathered in the wing, and at this time, they have to decide what to do next.

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian have long discussed, but the opinions of the two have not been able to unify, Lu Xiangsheng's meaning, after the army arrived in Wanshan, directly westward, arrived at Qinyang, to which Nanyang Mansion belongs, to find the main force of the Liukou to fight, Gao Qiqian thought that the army would arrive at Runing Mansion, and then start fighting from Wuyang and Yuzhou, which belonged to Nanyang Mansion, and Gao Qiqian also asked to wait until the army from Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan and Huguang arrived in Runing Mansion before starting the battle.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng would not agree to Gao Qiqian's arrangement, he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the troops in Shanxi and other places, and he also knew that it would take more than half a month to wait for these troops to arrive.

The longer the delay becomes, the more stable the Liukou's foundation in Nanyang will be, and the more difficult it will be to fight at that time.

In his bones, Lu Xiangsheng does not attach much importance to the Liukou, thinking that the Liukou's combat effectiveness is not strong, but unfortunately Gao Qiqian's view is just the opposite, thinking that it is necessary to attach great importance to the Liukou, make all arrangements and deployments, and strive to completely exterminate the Liukou.

The views of the two are not clear who is right and who is wrong, and each has a point.

It's a pity that the battle is a gamble, calculate all the possibilities, the battle with the chance of victory, almost all of them are not, fast combat and adequate preparation, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, if the commander and the supervising army can unite and reach a consensus, then what kind of deployment can be quickly implemented.

It's a pity that there is no possibility of harmony between Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian, and when he noticed that Gao Qiqian came to the army, the point was that after winning people's hearts, Lu Xiangsheng had already developed a feeling of disgust in his bones, and it was impossible to ease the relationship.

Lu Xiangsheng is such a character that he will not be able to make real changes in his life.

As soon as the discussion began, the controversy reappeared, Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian insisted on their own opinions, and the rest of the generals, deputy generals, guerrilla generals, and so on, looked at each other, not knowing what to do or who to listen to.

The argument went on for a quarter of an hour.

Lu Xiangsheng was obviously more prepared, and he also knew that it would be difficult to change Gao Qiqian's decision in a short period of time, so he proposed a compromise plan.

"Gao Jian Army, this Shuai thinks, so argumentative, in the end it is difficult to have a result, this year's climate is bad, it seems to be unfavorable to the army, but this bad climate, for the Liukou, is also unfavorable, this Shuai believes that the army should seize this opportunity, as soon as possible to launch an attack, after the army arrived in Wanshan, this Shuai led 10,000 front troops, in the direction of Qinyang to attack, Gao Jian Jun led 20,000 Chinese troops, and then responded, if the front army fought well, then the front army and the Chinese army united, Attack in the direction of Nanyang Province, and if the attack is frustrated, according to the arrangement of the High Supervision Army, the army will arrive at the city of Runing Province, wait for the arrival of other large armies, and finally launch an attack on the Liukou. ”

Gao Qiqian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would put forward such a suggestion, if he continued to refute and blindly insisted that the army must go to Runing Mansion City, this is a bit too much, if it is not done well, it will make people think that he is cowardly and does not dare to fight with the Liukou head-on.

After a little groaning, Gao Qiqian spoke.

"Our family thinks that Lord Lu's suggestion is quite reasonable, Liukou is in Nanyang Mansion to make a rebellion, bold and reckless, and actually openly challenges the imperial court, can't bear it, this Shanxi, Sichuan and Huguang reinforcements are difficult to arrive in a short period of time, and the army in Henan must be stationed in Kaifeng Mansion and Luoyang and other places, it is difficult to draw a large army to participate in the battle, in this case, the battle still needs to be cautious, and the soldiers are dangerous."

Gao Qiqian's words made Lu Xiangsheng's face change slightly, what does this mean, as if Gao Qiqian is particularly familiar with combat.

However, Lu Xiangsheng still didn't speak, he waited for Gao Qiqian to say the following words.

"Lord Lu's arrangement, our family agreed, after the army arrived in Wanshan, our family led the Chinese army to postpone, urging the armies from all over the country to rush to Henan as soon as possible......"

The decision was formed quickly, Lu Xiangsheng led an army of 10,000, arrived in Qinyang, and the Liukou started a fight, Gao Qiqian led 20,000 Chinese troops to the palace, if the battle went well, Gao Qiqian led the Chinese army to quickly keep up, if the battle did not go well, the front army led by Lu Xiangsheng withdrew in the direction of Wanshan and made peace with the Chinese army.

I didn't think that the battle would be arranged like this in the end, Zheng Xunrui and others calculated that Lu Xiangsheng could lead the number of sergeants to fight, which could reach 70,000, with so many sergeants, no matter how strong the rogues were, it was difficult to deal with, but the actual situation now is that Lu Xiangsheng only led an army of 10,000 to fight, but he faced 80,000 Houjin Tartars.

Such an arrangement, no matter from which point of view, is arrogant, if it were Zheng Xunrui, he would never make such a decision, even if he led the Zheng family's army, he would not be so blind, which is a bit too much to estimate his own strength and belittle the strength of the rogue.

After the decision was made, the 10,000 former army and the 20,000 Chinese army quickly determined that Lu Xiangsheng led the 10,000 former army and quickly headed towards Wanshan, and the 20,000 Chinese army led by Gao Qiqian still headed towards Wanshan according to the previous marching speed.
