After talking to Zhang Wei on the phone, Li Yongji smiled and said to Su Su next to him: "Do you know who called me just now?" ”

"I don't know." Su Su smiled and shook his head, "However, there are only a few people who can call you directly on this phone, and calling at this time is probably not a trivial matter." ”

"Well said." Li Yongji nodded, and then briefly said the content of Zhang Wei's conversation.

"So you see." Li Yongji concluded, "He knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurried over to admit his mistake to me and strive for frank and leniency, but he was playing the same trick with my uncle." ”

"General Zhang is a little reckless this time." Su Su frowned, "According to his past actions, he shouldn't be such an impulsive person, why would he make such an unwise move?" ”

"Well, you have to ask Jiajia, she's our intelligence chief." Li Yongji smiled and said to Jiajia, who was standing aside in a proper manner, "Jiajia, you came to sue Susu, why did he do that." ”

"Yes, young master." Jiajia smiled and nodded, and then said to Su Su, "Eldest sister, there are some things you don't know yet, in fact, this time General Zhang asked people to hurriedly cross the river to support Yangzhou, and he wanted to take this opportunity to give credit to his two younger brothers, so that Zhang Feng and Zhang Yun brothers can have a more solid foundation for their military exploits, so that they will not lose power in the future." ”

"Losing ground? General Zhang's status is already very high, why is he still worried about losing power? Su Su continued to ask.

"It's out of balance." Jiajia continued, "So far, the three divisions of our elite army A troops, the first division and the third division, have experienced many major battles, and the officers and soldiers of these two divisions have also won a lot of combat exploits.

You know, big sister. Although our elite army also ranks seniority, but in fact, the most important thing is the real military achievements, no military achievements, there is no promotion, and the young master has now laid down the city of Beijing, and the establishment of the country is just around the corner, at that time, is it necessary to re-expand the army, is it to be a great hero? ”

"Oh, I see." Susu is also very responsive. "General Zhang wants to take the opportunity to give credit to his subordinates, especially his younger brother, so that they can climb higher and obtain higher official positions in the future?"

"yes, that's it." Jia Jia said, "One hero and three gangs, even if General Zhang's position is stable enough, if the official positions of his subordinates are not high, then his faction will become a weak side." This must be what he didn't want to see, so he was in such a hurry and wanted his two younger brothers to beat Chen Yucheng, but he didn't expect to be beaten back. ”

"You're really quick." Su Su shook her head. "Our staff hasn't received this information yet, and you know so quickly."

"There's no way, your staff has to report at all levels, it's not as convenient as our military justice department." Su Su blinked. "Actually, I was able to find out so quickly because we had installed a bugging device in General Zhang's mansion a long time ago, so we heard his conversation with his two younger brothers in advance. Therefore, their intentions have long been known. ”

"Oh." Su Su looked at Li Yongji, who was smiling and silent, "Young Master, you already knew about Zhang Wei's military operation?" ”

"Yes." Li Yongji nodded, "The people from the Judge Advocate General's Office have long known about their plan of action through the new eavesdropping device, and they have already told me the tapping recordings through the phone, so I already know what they want to do." However, in the end, I pretended not to know and let them continue to act. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yongji sighed: "Actually, I didn't want to do this, but after my uncle committed a stupid thing, I suddenly found that I couldn't trust the IQ of my subordinates too much, so in order to prevent anyone from doing something that made me passive, I asked the people of the Judge Advocate General's Department to carry out all-round eavesdropping and monitoring of every important general under me, so that not only can I know whether they are loyal enough, but also can prevent them from doing some stupid things from me." ”

"Then you don't interfere with General Zhang's plan this time, do you think it's not stupid enough?" Su Su asked.

"Pretty much." Li Yongji nodded, "Actually, their plan not to fight Nanjing, but to fight Zhenjiang instead, and then cross the Yangtze River to fight Chen Yucheng, if you put aside the part of grabbing credit, it is still quite good." As Zhang Wei once said, the Second Division can be invincible in field battles, but if it wants to attack Nanjing City, it will still be slightly difficult, at least the casualties will definitely not be small.

As for the method of encircling the point to send reinforcements, when Hong Renda led his troops to flee into Nanjing in advance, this strategy has lost its due effect, and at this time, it is also a good tactic not to attack Nanjing and outflank Chen Yucheng's back road.

It's just that Zhang Feng and Zhang Yun's two boys are too young, eager to fight, and inexperienced, and they were ambushed by others, and the most speechless thing is that they have already seen Chen Yucheng's troops, and they can continue to use their own dignified formations to fight with each other again, but they are worried about losses, and they have fallen into a situation of complacency, which is very disappointing.

If it weren't for the fact that I had heard that they were brave in battle, I would have removed them from their position as commanders, because they were so incompetent.

However, as I said, these two people are Zhang Wei's younger brother after all, and Zhang Wei himself is also responsible for this matter, so I decided to give Zhang Wei a chance, and now it depends on how Zhang Wei solves it himself. ”

"Do you want Zhang Wei to remove his two younger brothers by himself?" Su Su asked.

"Pretty much." Li Yongji nodded, "At least you have to make such a gesture yourself, and then ask me to make a final ruling, in this way, it will be good for everyone." On the other hand, if I directly intervene to remove his two younger brothers, then Zhang Wei's prestige will plummet, and there will be many well-intentioned people who want to replace him, which is not the situation I want to see. ”

"But young master, they have caused so much loss to the Jingwu Army, I heard that there are more than two hundred casualties, so they are simply dismissed, is it a little too cheap?" Jiajia suddenly said, "You know, those casualties are all Class A troops, they are all the efforts of the young master, and it is a pity that they were lost in vain." ”

"What's the shame of that." Li Yongji shook his head, "When you are a soldier and fight, you naturally have to have the consciousness of being injured or even killed, on the contrary, I have always felt that our elite army has fought too smoothly in the past, and it has always won easily, so that the arrogance in the army is getting heavier and heavier.

It just so happens that there is Zhang Wei's matter this time, and I can take the opportunity to knock the whole army and let everyone guard against arrogance and rashness.

I want everyone to understand that although our elite army has advanced weapons and strict training, it does not mean that it is truly invincible!

When an army is proud and looks down on anyone, no matter how good the weapons are, it is not far from defeat. ”

"What about Chen Yucheng?" Su Su frowned and said, "Young Master, didn't you say that Chen Yucheng is very powerful, let him run away this time, it will be difficult to catch him in the future." Do you want us to give them an order to continue chasing Chen Yucheng? Chen Yucheng has too many soldiers and horses, and he will inevitably not be able to go fast, Zhang Feng and Zhang Yun's troops are all bicycle troops, and the speed is much faster, if they are allowed to catch up now, it should be too late. ”

"Nope." Li Yongji said, "If they were in contact at that time, they immediately counterattacked, it would be barely possible, but now that such a long time has passed, it will be too late for them to chase after them." ”

"Why is it late?" Su Su asked.

"Because Zhang Feng and Zhang Yun's troops are too tired." Li Yongji said, "Their troops have not slept all night and day, and they have been exhausted for a long time after a forced march and a hard battle.

If the two armies were still facing each other and the two sides maintained a state of combat contact, then they might still be able to stay a little sober, but now that Chen Yucheng's troops had retreated, their minds would inevitably relax, which was already exhausted, and it would be difficult for them to recover quickly if their minds were relaxed again. So, Zhang Feng and Zhang Yun's troops can't be counted on. ”

"Then let Jiang Yun's troops chase after it?" Su Su said again, "According to the intelligence of the General Staff, Jiang Yun's troops have arrived at the outskirts of Yangzhou, and if they are allowed to march overnight, it is estimated that they can still catch up." ”

"Forget it, it's night now, and although our army's field combat capability is not bad, it is much worse than during the day, and the advantages of many weapons cannot be fully exerted." Li Yongji shook his head, "So, let Jiang Yun's troops rest in peace, as for Chen Yucheng, let him go." Anyway, as long as he is still in the Taiping Army for a day, he will not be able to ignore Hong Xiuquan, as long as Hong Xiuquan is still in Nanjing, as long as we go all out to fight Nanjing, he will definitely not be able to dodge, and sooner or later he will follow us. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yongji suddenly stretched: "Okay, don't talk about this, I'm a little tired, let's go, Susu, follow me to the bath." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Li Yongji suddenly say this, Rao is Susu and Li Yongji have long had a close relationship, but it seems that because of Jiajia's presence, she still blushed, "Young master, you ...... It's still eating. ”

"What are you eating, you've already eaten enough." Li Yongji stood up with a smile, slowly walked to Su Su, and gently touched the other party's face with the back of his hand, "You have to eat less at night, or you will have nightmares...... Okay, don't talk about that, come with me, I'm sweaty, and I'm not used to washing myself without you wiping my back. ”

"But, but ......" Su Su also stood up and bit her lip, "Young master, Jiajia is still here, you suddenly said this, this, this ......"

"Ah, I didn't hear anything." Jiajia suddenly exaggerated her hands and covered her ears and blew her eyes, "I can't hear the embarrassing things of the eldest sister and the young master." (To be continued......)
