"Please think twice." Gu Junen finally said: "Whether you go to Yongliang Land or Bashu, you will take being undefeated as the first priority. And take Jingxiang fell into the land of four wars, and there was no peace. For example, a strong man's epistaxis seems to be a small loss, but in fact, his qi and blood will be exhausted in the round battle, and it will be difficult to recover. ”

Let's not talk about whether Xiangyang will still be in the hands when the army goes south. Even if you arrive in Xiangyang, there is Prince Zhu's Ming army in the north, Zuo Liangyu's army in the east, and Zhang Xianzhong in the west.

Take a step back and say, Dashun is in Xiangjing, but how can these hundreds of thousands of troops survive the winter? Since the founding of the country, there has never been a base area that has been able to provide a stable supply of grain and grass for the army, all through the pursuit of donations, if the source of food cannot be guaranteed, and there is no natural barrier to rely on, it can only take mobile warfare again, so it has become a rogue again.

Now it is different from the past, although it was a rogue back then, it is on the rise. As the saying goes, buying up and not buying down, the squires everywhere all think that the time for a change of dynasty is coming, and they are quite able to accept Li Zicheng, the new son of heaven, and his propaganda slogan of "free food and free labor", so they are naturally willing to open the city to welcome and celebrate a beautiful new life.

It can be said that at that time, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, represented the new order of the world. A new order capable of confronting the old order and helping the squires to free themselves from the oppression of the old order.

After discarding Beijing, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, Dashun's decline was inevitably revealed in the eyes of the world. Would anyone else be willing to bet on a declining rogue regime at this time? Will there still be squires who hope that Dashun will bring him a new and better life? Considering that Dashun has oppressed the squires more than Zhu Ming along the way, if he really wants to go east to Nanjing, he will definitely not see the good situation of despairing from the wind at the beginning.

Once the prefectures and counties really resist, just filling it with human lives is like a knife that keeps bleeding, and no matter how strong a person is, he will lose too much blood and die.

And this does not take into account the dispersion of troops caused by the garrisons in various places.

Gu Junen even believed. If Li Zicheng really wants to return to his old business, Dashun will first fall apart. Those civil officials would find an opportunity to flee at the first opportunity and return to their hometowns to become their landlords and wealthy men. Even the army may defect, and Jiang Xuan, Bai Guangen, Ma Ke and others have repeatedly proved that surrender will be unreliable.

At this moment, Dashun is like a big mouth, devouring heaven and earth in just a few years.

But it's just a mouth. There is no stomach pouch at all to digest......

So now I can only spit it all out.

In contrast, Zhang Xianzhong was able to hold the Shu Road and occupy the country of Bashu Tianfu and operate a corner, which seemed to be quite wise.

Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen, and patiently listened to the advice of his chief strategist, but he still didn't think of such a profound connotation. His evaluation of himself has been a little detached from reality, and he still thinks that he is still the new generation of true destiny who can respond to every call with the banner of "Chuang".

……

"Has Your Highness made a decision?"

A cadre of staff officers whispered.

"It's too much to let Li break into Jiangnan, no matter how you say it's the land of the Ming Dynasty!" A captain staff officer said excitedly.

"You are a woman's kindness! The advantage of our army lies in the ability to fight. The disadvantage is that the number of soldiers is not as good as the rebellion. The more places the rebels occupy, the more troops they have to send to defend the place. As long as he divides his troops, the disadvantage of our army will no longer exist. Someone immediately retorted rationally.

"A blank piece of paper is easy to write," said another old man, "Your Highness is like a finger in Shandong, and it is precisely because it has been bloodied by the Eastern captives and bandits that no one dares to disobey the order once it is gathered and annexed." However, the powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River are intertwined. The government and military orders could not be reached, so they were destroyed by the hands of Li Chuang. ”

"The people of Jiangnan are not the people of the Ming Dynasty? The military rations we ate also came from Jiangnan. Someone muffled.

"You also underestimate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Another humane: "With the talent of His Highness." Do you still need to borrow Li Chuang's hand to do this kind of thing? What incurable disease is not easy to catch when it encounters His Highness? ”

"Hehe, what's going on with the Yan Shenggong Mansion?" Someone said in a strange manner: "Luo Yukun just copied the Kong family, turned his head and surrendered to the East Palace, and a lot of the stolen goods were sent to His Royal Highness." You still think of Your Highness as too simple! ”

"You're spewing blood!" The captain before shouted, "There is no basis for slandering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

The others also frowned, quite angry at this fanatic.

"Huh," the man sneered. said, "It is precisely because His Highness has such a plot that I, Wei Yunfang, are willing to be his eagle dog minions!" ”

The previous captain was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say anything like "the crown prince is not worth your follow", and he couldn't help but blush his face.

"Stop arguing, y'all!" A staff officer pushed the door open. Lang said: "His Royal Highness ordered: The General Staff immediately drove to Luoyang and set up the East Palace. ”

"What did Nanyang say?"

"Nanyang? His Royal Highness had previously ordered the guerrilla battalion to blockade Xiangyang before it went south, and not to make it go out of the mountains. After the staff officer finished speaking, he went to pack his things with a blank face.

The easily excited captain was relieved in his heart, and then he thought of a counterattack, and said victoriously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a dignified prince, how can he sit back and watch his people be ravaged?" ”

That Wei Yun remained silent, and just said: "Your Highness must have deeper considerations, but I can't see it." ”

The captain smiled, turned and walked away.

Seeing that the dispute over words had come to an end, the other staff officers also dispersed one after another, busily packing up their documents and waiting for their superiors to arrange the division of labor for the establishment of the line.

……

"Lao Tzu is dizzy! Why is it finally Lao Tzu's turn to be beautiful, and no one is willing to help! Luo Yukun sat in the tent of the Chinese army, his whole face seemed to be rubbed and rubbed again, and he didn't have a good look.

In contrast, Chen Chong's face was relaxed and comfortable, with irrepressible joy jumping between his eyebrows.

Although Zhu Jiajun is not as excited as Chen Chong, he is also a little relaxed, but there is still an unknown regret flowing under this ease.

On 14 December, Luo Yukun's troops received a campaign request from Xingyuan, which simply means to block the Qinling Bashan Confucius, guard the pass fortress, and not allow the southbound rebel army to step into Huguang, let alone let the main force of the rebel join forces with the Huguang thief army.

For the soldiers of the East Palace who are pursuing promotions and titles, this kind of order is simply a good order to dream of. For Luo Yukun, this kind of opportunity to be in the limelight under the banner is even more rare. However, the tragedy is that on December 13, the day before the order was issued to the battalion headquarters, Bai Wang, a rebellious general who harmed Huguang, occupied the four prefectures of Jingxiang, and held 80,000 horses, submitted a letter asking for surrender.

Bai Wang's surrender, the new campaign objective, and even the strategic deployment of the entire winter offensive were overfulfilled. The Southwest Line of Control crossed Suizhou and directly pushed through Xiaogan, only more than 100 miles away from Jiangxia County, Wuchang Prefecture, and across the river from Zuo Liangyu's army.

"Why can't we fight!" Luo Yukun pounded the table in pain, and stood up stiffly. He paced to the middle of the tent: "Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou are okay, even the tannins have military exploits...... Why is it so difficult for Lao Tzu to make some real achievements? ”

"I think that among the armies of my Donggong, our casualties are the smallest, the battle loss ratio is the smallest, the number of troops expanded is the largest, and the county of Guangfu is the widest...... Not enough for you? Chen Chong was already thinking about how to write a report, and being able to fight without fighting and not dying was the most important result for him.

It was difficult for him to understand the psychology of the military commanders, and he always felt that those people were too cold-blooded. The feats they eagerly awaited were stained with the blood of their comrades!

But this kind of thought cannot be expressed at all, because even the recruits feel that winning the battle is a good thing. No one thought they could die on the battlefield...... Or don't mind it, even if you're dead.

——The husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he should cook five tripods when he dies!

This is the declaration of the lord father Yan in the Han Dynasty, which was told by Chen Chong to Luo Yukun and Zhu Jiajun, but it turned out to be "Chen Xundao said". The whole camp was shaken, and the morale was greatly boosted, and no one who was timid was willing to lose to a eunuch - although few people were talking about this matter in front of Chen Chong now.

"Anyway, the mission is accomplished." Zhu Jiajun said: "Now there are two problems: the first is to hold the hole on the first line of Bashan in the Qinling Mountains, and prevent the rebellion from entering Huguang. The second is to reorganize Bai Wang's 80,000 people and take over the land of Sifu before Zuo Liangyu's reaction. ”

"It's simple not to let the rebels enter Huguang, send 5,000 people, bring cannons, and hold Yunyang (now Shiyan area), if he can come out, there will be ghosts." Luo Yukun said, scratched his head again, and said: "The trouble now is Bai Wang's 80,000 people, how to reorganize, how not to let Zuo Liangyu take advantage, and how to prevent him from falling back...... That's the trouble. ”

"I'm afraid he won't repeat it." Chen Chong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Luo Yukun say that Bai Wang would rebel again: "Since he is willing to surrender, I'm afraid he really doesn't want to be a thief." ”

"Wasn't he scared? If he finds out that we are just paper tigers, it will only be a matter of eating a meal. Zhu Jiajun disagrees with Chen Chong.

Luo Yukun glanced at Chen Chong and said to Zhu Jiajun: "You take care of him with a hammer!" It's serious to figure it out! ”

"It's better to ......" Zhu Jiajun thought for a while and said, "Let him divide his soldiers into two ways." All the way into the river, all the way across the river. ”

"Lao Tzu is dizzy!" Luo Yukun rolled his eyes: "Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu, which one can he fight?" ”

"The key is not whether we can beat it or not, but to make room for us." Zhu Jiajun said: "If he fights, he has the right to vote for the name of the ceremony; He can't beat it, and it's not our people who are at stake. ”

When Luo Yukun heard this, he stepped forward and patted Zhu Jiajun's shoulder heavily, learning the tone in the play: "Wow haha, Jun Zhen is my sub-house!" ”

Zhu Jiajun was slapped to the side by him and almost fell down.

Listening to Chen Chong's standard eunuch voice, he said quietly: "You still want to be Han Gaozu?" (To be continued......)
