The same 18,000 captures, almost all of them were the strongest cavalry of Jiannu. After Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian excitedly reviewed and polished, this inspiring report was sent to Nanjing in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

At the same time as the newspaper marched south, Zhou Huchen's 50,000 foot soldiers continued to advance north.

This moment is very important, Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian are no longer reserved, they decided to personally supervise the army to fight, and the two of them went to the river with their eyebrows burned.

At this time, Zhou Huchen's troops had already taken Jinghai County, and it was very appropriate to say that it was taken, and the death of Bo and Yu undoubtedly frightened the Qing army. The remnants of the Eight Banners cavalry and the Mongol cavalry were completely frightened, and they retreated to Bazhou, and the Jiannu infantry in the city and reinforcements no longer had the courage to take a step out of Tianjin. When Zhou Huchen's army came to the small Jinghai County, there was no defender of Jiannu in the entire Jinghai County, let alone an official appointed by Jiannu.

Riverhouse.

There were five people in the room, and it was also a meeting of the supreme command group, the marshal Zhou Huchen, Huang Degong, Zhu Dadian, Shi Kefa, and the silent supervisor Ye Yinzhi.

"Xiaohu is really Xiaohu, my first wise general of the Ming Dynasty is worthy of his name, tell me, when will you take Tianjin?"

Zhu Dadian spoke first, this stubborn old man smiled all over his face, he had many words, and the meaning of appreciation was fully expressed.

Shi Kefa smiled silently, this smile was very bright, and there was something in his chest, as if he knew in advance that Zhou Huchen would win.

"Have you ever heard of the art of war?" Zhou Huchen did not answer Zhu Dadian, but suddenly asked a rhetorical question.

"The art of war, this art of war seems to be about cunning in war, right?" Or Zhu Dadian, this is his understanding.

Zhou Huchen likes the art of war very much, of course, there is no art of war in this era, but in Zhou Huchen's mind, the art of war is a jishu life. Only by giving full play to the art of war that he knows can he come to this Ming Dynasty in vain.

"Your Excellency is right! In the past, it was able to defend Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass, to move to Jiangnan, to defeat Jiannu repeatedly, and to achieve victory with minimal losses in the battle, to be able to take care of the entire battle situation, and to be able to do as much as possible, this is the art of war. ”

Smiling, Zhou Huchen agreed with Zhu Dadian's statement.

Tasting the art of war that Zhou Huchen said, Shi Kefa nodded, very right!

Ye Yinzhi was still silent. But the clear expression is also an attitude of approval, and Huang Degong is not good at words, he stares and waits for the following

"Isn't Xiaohu going to take Tianjin now? It's better to be happier if you always wander around in Tianjin like this, and it's better to take Tianjin and let Jiannu continue to have pain! Zhu Dadian was a simple person, and he quickly turned back.

"Weishenme wants to take Tianjin, wouldn't it be nice to let Tianjin play with Jiannu?" Zhou Huchen said meaningfully:

Zhu Dadian was stunned for a moment: "Xiaohu is saying"

"Keeping Tianjin, the throat of the Beijing division, Jiannu will have to defend it, and if you defend Tianjin, you must send heavy troops, and the troops of Bazhou, Baoding, and Xuanfu will be weak. Our army will take advantage of this opportunity to survive this cold winter, and Tianjin can take it whenever it wants, contain the Jiannu and make their forces scattered and powerless. That's part of the art of war! ”

Zhu Dadian clapped his hands: "It turns out that Xiaohu wants to keep Tianjin to make Jiannu worry all the time, so that these Tartars have no time to attack Baoding and defend Xuanfu!" Xiaohu is really Xiaohu, this fame in the world is not false, the old man admires! The inquiry turned into a shaking head. Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa understood Zhou Huchen's intentions.

"At that time, I actually wanted to use it as a cover to attack Tianjin, just to contain Jiannu's army, but I didn't expect Jiannu to look up to me so much. I actually sent such a heavy winter gift, really

It's disrespectful! Zhou Huchen teased with interest.

Zhou Huchen admitted that he initially lied to Shi Kefa and others. Containment is only, this is Zhou Huchen's purpose, the battle for Tianjin is not at this time, Zhou Huchen is dragging time, in order not to let the allies in Baoding rout, Zhou Huchen is buying time for He Tengjiao, and strive to survive this cold winter. As long as Tianjin is threatened in Jinghai County, Jiannu must always guard against himself, this is the result that Zhou Huchen wants, he only needs the army to survive this harsh winter.

"You little devil has a lot of tricks, and this strategy is really far-sighted in the art of war! The old man is served! "The concealment of tactics is nothing, Zhu Dadian can understand it, he hahadaxiao.

Zhu Dadian is an elder, the title of this little ghost head is undoubtedly an intimate attitude, Zhou Huchen didn't mind and continued: "The boss praises falsely, as long as you survive this winter, the spring offensive will be launched, Tianjin will fall in clusters, Tianjin's broken city can't stand my artillery, I'm afraid it will collapse with one shot, and then it will be the time to besiege the northern capital and drive Jiannu out of the pass!" ”

"Good spring! I think this spring offensive is starting to prepare now, here are all the important ministers of this operation, Xiaohu quickly said how to do it? "Shi Kefa couldn't bear it anymore.

"Actually, it's very simple, we take Tianjin next spring, let General Wang launch an offensive in Yanqing Prefecture at the same time, and Baoding's He Inspector Division will also take action, and the whole Jihua is to advance slowly, compressing the combat space of Jiannu, and then"

Several people listened to Zhou Huchen's jihua quietly, listening very carefully, for fear of missing something. Zhou Huchen's jihua is very ordinary, ordinary is just like what a few people think, but everyone understands that Zhou Huchen must have his unexpected point.

Zhu Dadian has always been breathless, he thinks that Zhou Huchen is hiding something, and when Zhou Huchen's words fell, he asked: "What else?" There's something else you haven't said about the art of war, right? The old man is very itchy, don't sell it, hurry up and say it, it's uncomfortable! ”

Shi Kefa is no longer reserved: "Let's talk about it, Xiaohu must have a strange plan, but he can't wait for the old man of war art!" ”

It's been recognized!

Zhou Huchen smiled embarrassedly: "Of course, there are other details, don't ask the two bosses, there will be good news in the spring!" ”

It's so tempting!

Zhu Dadian couldn't stand it: "This can't be done, Xiaohu still says it, how can I endure this winter?!" ”

Shi Kefa hurriedly helped: "It's okay to talk about it, there are no outsiders at this time, how can the major military affairs be revealed?" ”

The prison army Ye Yinzhi is still as stable as Mount Tai, but while he is as steady as Mount Tai, his glorious eyes betray his reserve.

The temptation was unbearable, Huang Degong couldn't help it, he decided not to be silent anymore: "Xiaohu, let's talk about it!" In this winter, whoever can stand it, it's nothing to say, they are all important ministers of the court, who will reveal it, Xiaohu don't sell it, it's uncomfortable! ”

Of course, Zhou Huchen was relieved of the people present, this feeling of bringing several people into his rhythm at the same time was very refreshing, Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa had completely entered Zhou Huchen's rhythm, and the two had forgotten that they were the formulators of the battle. However, Zhou Huchen still has to say a few words: "It's okay to say, but this jihua must not be revealed, even the closest people can't say it, and please keep it strictly confidential!" ”

In order to unravel this secret entangled in their hearts, in order to solve the itching of their hearts, several people quickly nodded one after another.

"It's still part of the art of war!" Zhou Huchen smiled: "Sea! We still have the sea! (To be continued......)
