Chapter 806 The Three Armies and Divisions offer advice
After listening to Li Yan's words, Li Zicheng and the others all "hehe" to Li Yan's seriousness. Everyone here understands this. According to the plan of the camp before the war, they wanted to operate Kaifeng City as the future "capital" of the camp, so for the camp, the intact fall of Kaifeng City into their hands is indeed much more important than the gold, silver, property or population in the city.
"What's the news from Butcher Wu and the Thief Zuo?" Because of the long conversation with Luo Rucai earlier, although some very important information will be passed on at any time, some minor news will have to be reported later. Therefore, as soon as Li Zicheng waited for his free time, he immediately asked Song Xiance and them for the news of the two closest and most powerful official armies.
"It's all on hold! The left thief was better, and after the spies sent him, they found that he didn't appear to be dispatched at all. But Butcher Wu didn't know what to do, he still sent a large number of official and military spies to fight outside, and our spies who broke into the camp couldn't break in at all, so they knew almost nothing about the situation there. Song Xiance replied.
"Honestly! I'm still most worried about Butcher Wu. Li Zicheng frowned and groaned.
"King Chuang is afraid that Butcher Wu will suddenly send troops and relieve the siege of Kaifeng City?" Niu Jinxing asked from the side.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Yan shook his head and said, with a confident expression, "The student walked to the front a few days ago. According to King Chuang's arrangement, the soldiers in front were very hard, and they had already cleaned the trenches in Zhuxian Town and built several earthen walls. The other passages that would make it easier for the horses to gallop were also leveled. The officers and soldiers are also more fierce with firearms, and with these obstacles, it is difficult to show their strengths, as long as they are allowed to fight in close quarters, how can they compare with our elite soldiers who broke into the camp? ”
"Also, the students are here to confess to King Chuang! In Zhuxian Town. The students also slightly changed the deployment of the troops, so that the troops formed a concave shape, whether it was General Wu or General Zuo coming, they would all get into the encirclement of our camp, and enter the ambush we left for them. ”
"Oh!?" Li Zicheng's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Then Mr. Say it quickly." ”
So Li Yan briefly introduced the deployment of the various troops in the camp, and used the desk as the map, and used the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, teacups and other things on the table as the markers on the map.
Although such an introduction is brief. But Li Zicheng is also an old fighter, and he immediately heard the benefits of Li Yan's arrangement. So he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile to Li Yan: "Mr. has made a great contribution." Wait for tomorrow, sir...... oh. Several gentlemen followed me to Zhuxian Town to have a look. ”
Song Xiance's pupils contracted unconsciously. Among Li Zicheng's three military advisors, he was proficient in civil and military affairs. Li Yan is at the top of the list; What Song Xiance is good at is figuring out people's hearts. is not only breaking into his own camp, but also good at figuring out the enemy generals, so the ability to predict is very high; And Niu Venus is good at pretending to be a ghost.
Therefore, among these three military divisions, Li Yan's role has gradually become the largest. Of course, Li Zicheng's most trusted person is still Song Xiance. However, Song Xiance was afraid that after this continued, his position as the number one military division would give way sooner or later.
"Mr. Song! Do you think Butcher Wu will send troops? Of course, Li Zicheng will not let go of his number one military division.
The student thought. Seven or eight times out of ten, the possibility of sending troops is likely. Song Xiance replied affirmatively.
"Oh?" The crowd was quite surprised by this answer.
So Niu Jinxing on the side asked, "Brother Song! Although General Wu's soldiers are brave, he is a handsome general and a general, but he is short-sighted, only staring at his own one-third of an acre. A year ago, Fu Zonglong came to the south, and they did not send troops. One of its missed opportunities; Half a year ago, Wang Qiaonian went out of Shaanxi, but they did not send troops, and they missed the opportunity; Three months ago, they broke into the camp and surrounded Kaifeng, but they did not send troops, and they missed the opportunity three; Before February, Ding Qirui was besieged in Zhuxian Town, and they did not send troops, so they missed the opportunity. has repeatedly missed opportunities, just for the land of his two mansions, will he still send troops now? ”
"This time, that time." Song Xiance smiled, with a confident face. Then he bowed to Li Zicheng and said, "Dare to ask King Chuang: If you break into the camp and capture Kaifeng, where will you go next?" ”
"Of course, it is to go south and attack the old nest of Wu Butcher - Runing and Guide." Li Zicheng replied categorically.
Different from the original history, when the Li and Luo combined forces besieged Kaifeng, Nanyang, Runing and Guide in southern Henan had already been broken by the peasant armies of all walks of life, so the strategic space of the Li and Luo combined forces was quite broad.
And now, because of the demonic existence of the Runing Army, most of the passages between Henan and Huguang have been blocked. Even the only north-south passage that still exists, Nanyang, and because of the garrisons of the Runing Army in Yexian and other counties, it has posed a great threat to this passage. Therefore, for the sake of their own living space, the primary target of the Li and Luo coalition army must also be the Runing army.
Moreover, after capturing Kaifeng, the Li and Luo coalition forces could only choose to go south. If they go north, won't they enter Beizhili to attack the capital? Before his own strength is further expanded, Chuang Ying will never choose this strategic goal and have the most decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty.
"That's good!" Song Xiance also knew Li Zicheng's answer, "Although General Wu of Runing has a shallow vision, he is not a stupid person. And the next step of breaking into the camp to go south is also known to everyone, so how can General Li not know? For his old nest, this time he will give everything he has to help Kaifeng. Otherwise, under the cold of his lips and teeth, how could he stop me from breaking into the camp? ”
"What does Brother Song mean: Is it that General Wu will definitely send troops?" Listening to what Song Xiance said seemed to be very reasonable, Niu Jinxing also hesitated a little.
"Seven or eight out of ten. Of course, there are two or three percent that he won't send troops, maybe this time the general soldier Wu is really stupid as a pig? Song Xiance smiled, "But King Chuang doesn't have to worry. If it sends troops, it will also be a defeat. ”
"Oh? Please speak, sir! ”
"I hesitated before, but now I hastily dispatched my troops, completely unprepared, and this is a defeat; Li Gongzi took precautions and set up ambushes to send reinforcements to prepare for his unpreparedness, and his second defeat was also; King Chuang is famous, the morale of the generals is high, and today's soldiers are stronger and stronger than in the past, and this three defeats are also. With these three defeats, where can General Wu escape from the palm of my camp? ”
Unconsciously, Song Xiance took the credit in his words, as if he was the one who made the decision, and Li Yan was the one who implemented the plan. (To be continued......)
