The first wind and rain drifted away

"Xie Hongdu!" This fierce general, who turned Li Zicheng into a one-eyed dragon, stepped forward and said: "The last general thinks that the rebels are strong.

Although they marched in three ways, there were 60,000 or 70,000 people on each road.

He must have divided his troops like this to capture all parts of Henan as soon as possible, and then move to other provinces, and that's it. ”

said it was the same as not saying it, but the generals below echoed and responded.

"The traitor wants to plunder all the lands in Henan, but he is extremely greedy. This is the nature of thieves, and this kind of division of troops and land is really a great contempt for our Ming officials. ”

A rough voice with a hint of ferocity sounded loudly.

Everyone followed the prestige, but it was Zuo Liangyu, the governor of the capital.

This is also a fierce man, one of the great warlords in the late Ming Dynasty, Henan is his defense area, if there is a trouble, he will carry the black pot.

"Hongdu, the last general thinks that although the rebels are divided into three routes, there must be one of them is a false army, and their real intention is to attack Luoyang."

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Liangyu expressed his judgment.

"Oh, how so?" Seeing that there was a bit of dry goods, Hong Chengchou asked.

"The South Road Liukou is a virtual soldier, from Tongguan to the south, which means to attract Henan officials and troops to divide the troops, but two of the main forces of the Liukou attack Luoyang.

If you can take such a big city, it will be enough for a lot of thieves to plunder. ”

Zuo Liangyu said eloquently.

His words also attracted the echo of some officers and soldiers.

Hong Chengchou, who was sitting on it, sighed, hesitated, and did not speak.

With the rise of his status, the originally high-spirited Hong Chengchou felt more and more pressure, and his heart was miserable.

I thought that after the thieves from Shaanxi were exterminated, some of the fish that slipped through the net and fled everywhere were all suffering from scabies, so there was no need to worry.

But I didn't expect that the thieves were getting stronger and stronger, and the more they were suppressed, the more they were suppressed.

By now, it has become a climate, and the original small group of thieves has gradually grown, and the march and combat are quite martial.

In particular, it is the most difficult to deal with the Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang Department and the Shooting Heaven Collapse and Tuoyang Kun Department.

Now it is more difficult to kill and chase than it used to be.

At first, the thieves were afraid of the officers and soldiers, and as long as they saw the banners of the officers and soldiers, they would flee from the wind, and basically did not dare to engage in frontal combat.

Now he has dared to confront officers and soldiers, and will lure the enemy, will ambush, and will use cavalry to charge and kill.

Of course, this is due to the teaching of officers and soldiers who defected to thieves, but it is not difficult to see that the combat experience of the thieves is becoming more and more abundant.

Then there's the difficulty of chasing.

The main traitors of King Gao Chuang were mainly cavalry, and some even had two thieves and two horses, and they fled immediately if the battle was unfavorable.

Most of the officers and soldiers are horses, and even if the battle is won, they can only watch the other side flee and cannot catch up.

The second is that the thieves fled and hid in the strongholds of the deep mountains and old forests, and held on to the dangerous terrain.

First, it is difficult for officers and men to continue their military rations, and second, they are unable to carry siege equipment, so it is difficult to break the enemy.

And that's not all.

The most terrible thing is because of the continuous drought in the Central Plains, there are more and more hungry people, and many people join the thief army with the mentality that they are dying left and right, and it is better to eat a full meal before they die.

The rebels plundered everywhere, so there was generally no shortage of food.

The rebels who fought bravely were often well fed.

This is a fatal temptation for the hungry people, who are already hungry and red-eyed, and have begun to cannibalize their children.

At present, the total number of thieves under his command exceeds 300,000, and the number of officers and soldiers who encircled and suppressed them is only more than 40,000.

Moreover, this gap is getting wider and wider, and it is difficult to replenish the officers and men after they are killed.

The thieves responded to every call, and it was very easy to gather, but the current form has become more and more tricky, and even has a tendency to deteriorate.

What can I do?

"Lu Du, what do you think should be?"

Comrade Hong Chengchou, who was full of sorrow, turned sideways and asked Lu Xiangsheng beside him.

As for Governor Sun, I'm sorry, Comrade Hong Chengchou naturally ignored it.

It's not for any other reason, he thinks about it, a newcomer, who has only been here for a few months, and his eyes are black, what good idea can he have?

Moreover, he also heard about Governor Sun's military training in Yulin, but what's the use of this, in a few months, can the world be turned upside down?

Isn't it a heavenly soldier?

"Actually, this governor thinks that it is also a good thing for the thieves to gather and divide their troops into three ways, which is just convenient for us to divide our troops and gather and annihilate them!"

A smile appeared on Lao Lu's white and chubby face, and he said lightly.

Well, this is very Lu Xiangsheng, and it is very in line with the title of the living Hades given to him by the traitor.

More than 200,000 yuan, in his eyes, it is like a crumbling dog.

Comrade Hong Chengchou was so choked that he didn't come up, and he almost made a foreign appearance.

Who doesn't want to gather and annihilate them, is there so many soldiers and horses?

If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's past reputation, he would have thought that he had met a dumbfounder.

Covering his face with his sleeve and coughing lightly, Hong Chengchou came to his senses and asked again, "What is Lu Du's opinion?" ”

The word Takami, at this time, actually has a hint of sarcasm in his mouth.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Damn it, they are all people who know the roots, and you also know the family background of this officer and soldier and traitor, how can you say this?

Ben Du can't help it anyway, it depends on what you are capable of?

"Liukou, Liukou, the most important thing is in this "flow".

In the past, we fought hard and fought thousands of miles, wasn't it just to drive them together so that they could gather and annihilate them? ”

Governor Lu was not in a hurry, as if he didn't see Comrade Hong Chengchou's somewhat flushed face, and said with a smile to the dozens of generals below.

"Lu Du, how many ways has Ren Er come, and I only go all the way?

Our Ming official army, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not yet rejoined, selected one of the roads and gathered the elite to attack it.

Strive to defeat and eliminate this way, so as to move to the land of Henan, and then separate to eliminate the other tribes.

It's just that in this way, the borders of Henan can be empty, if the traitors are allowed to break through Luoyang, Kaifeng and other big cities, this loss of land, no one can afford it? ”

Hong Chengchou thought that Lu Xiangsheng had some clever plan, and after listening to it, disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he nodded a few sentences without being salty.

In fact, he still hasn't said a word, even if he risks losing his land, can he really wipe out all the way?

The execution and cooperation of the Ming official army, you Lord Lu have been on the front line of suppressing bandits for a long time, isn't there a little force?

It's really going back the more you live!

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the sixth year of Chongzhen, the land of Henan has been plagued by poison, and the wars have been endless, and the villages, towns, and forts around the country have been ruined.

To tell the truth, with the exception of some major state towns and big cities, there are no more targets worth plundering in Henan.

Therefore, Benfu believes that the Liukou just regard Henan as a transit route, but they will not stay here for a long time.

If we can't wipe them out in Henan and let them wander around, it will be difficult to exterminate them.

Therefore, Ben Fu agreed with Lu Du's opinion. ”

At this time, Hong Chengchou has always been regarded as a soy sauce character, and Lao Sun Tou, the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of the four provinces, spoke out to support his good friends.
