Chapter 738: Niu Venus Gives Advice
"Don't give your Uncle He a bar!" Li Zicheng stopped Li aisle. There was something in his heart, Li Zicheng couldn't help but take off the felt hat on his head, and kept rolling in his hands, "Yigong, see the show, you two talk about it." ”
"After Luoyang was conquered, there were too many things to give Kuhaha, and if the butcher of Wu could not be defeated within a month, the new brothers might disperse." Gao Yigong expressed his opinion from his point of view.
Gao Yigong is Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, and he is responsible for the logistics supply of the camp, so he has some complaints about Niu Jinxing's dispersal of the grain in Luoyang City, so he insinuates and stabs Niu Jinxing now.
Niu Jinxing heard this and remained silent. But Tian Jianxiu on the side seemed to be inspired. He immediately opened his eyes wide and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you first lay down Kaifeng City?" Don't just think about where to run! ”
Regarding Tian Jianxiu's words, Li Zicheng and they immediately ignored them. Tian Jianxiu is really desperate in battle, and it is not bad to lead troops, and he is a good general who faithfully executes orders. But do you want him to give advice? Let's wait for his next life!
In this situation, it doesn't matter if you break into the camp and capture Kaifeng City. Even if he successfully captured Kaifeng and obtained the money and food in the city, if he was surrounded by the Ming army, it was still a way to break into the camp and die.
Speaking of which, there was another cold scene in the tent. The current position of the camp is quite delicate, it is impossible for them to cross the Yellow River to the north, and Ling Xun cannot even run a boat in the case of Ling Xun, and the camp will not take the day when the Yellow River is opened to navigation.
Heading east into Shandong? The heavy troops arranged by the imperial court in Xuzhou, the Cao Ding in the Grand Canal, the official army in Shandong, and the army in Tongzhou Jingying are all eyeing it, and the flanks are still threatened by the Runing army of Guide. Even if everything goes smoothly through the camp, there are no mountains and forests on the ground in Shandong. There is no place to hide and recuperate, there is no strategic space to maneuver, it is a Jedi.
And back to Shaanxi to the west? will face Zuo Liangyu's troops head-on. Like the imperial court, these leaders of the peasant army still looked up to Zuo Liangyu's army, which had been fighting against them, and surpassed the Runing army, which had been in Taoguang.
Can it go south? will directly fight Wu Shigong's Runing army. These people who broke into the camp also knew that the Wu butcher of Runing was a very family-loving person, and he didn't care much about things outside, but he was willing to work hard when he was guarding his hometown, and the current camp did not integrate the troops at all, and it was a plate of scattered sand compared with the Runing army. If it is hard, don't look at the number of people who break into the camp, you may be smashed by the hard stone of the Runing Army.
Therefore, the most feasible path now is what Liu Zongmin said at the beginning to take Ruzhou in order to boost morale. Entered Nanyang through Ruzhou and joined Luo Rucai's troops. Then join forces to go south to Huguang, and use Xiangyang as the base to lay the foundation for breaking into the camp. In order to dominate the world.
But then it comes back to the old question - whether to fight with the Runing army that drove to Ruzhou?
When I saw the people in the tent, they were all pensive. Niu Jinxing coughed a few times, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "King Chuang!" Ladies and gentlemen! Is there a few words that students don't know about? I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”
"Huh!" Li Zicheng immediately spoke, "Mr. is a Zhuge person, and it is precisely to listen to Mr.'s teachings, I am afraid that Mr. will hide his secrets!" Haha——! ”
The other generals in the tent also smiled and nodded. However, there was a faint suspicion in their eyes.
Niu Jinxing swept the expressions of everyone in the tent with the corner of his eye, but he still kept smiling and said unhurriedly: "If you want to deal with it, you must first know the situation of the opponent." Students have lived in Henan for a long time. I also know a little about Runing Wu. ”
"Mr. Wu is a person who has a lot of rumors from the outside world. Many rumors are true and false, and students don't say much about it. But King Chuang and the generals don't know if they know? Wu Zongbing's situation is very strange, why does he have little contact with outsiders, and he has not even heard of the normal official remuneration, and his actions are all rumors? ”
Niu Jinxing's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tent. Liu Zongmin was also interested all of a sudden, and he shouted: "Yes! This is very strange, Mr. Niu, please hurry up! ”
Niu Jinxing nodded to Liu Zongmin with a smile, and then said: "Also, Runing, Guide, and the eastern part of Nanyang, where General Wu is located, are simply forbidden places, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without a way, and even those who enter cannot change their routes without authorization, and violators will be punished with felonies." So up to now, how many troops does General Wu have? What is the supply of their salaries? How many generals are there? What is the distribution of its parts? Not only did the people not know about it, but even the imperial court didn't know about it. But why is General Wu like this? ”
"Huh?" Speaking of this, even Li Zicheng felt a little strange. So he nodded to Niu Jinxing and asked him to continue.
"Students are ashamed to not do their jobs, and they live in the countryside and neglect the teachings of the sages, but they can always look at the overall situation of the world. Ben was also puzzled by the strangeness of General Wu Bing, but then there was an incident that made the students suddenly enlightened. It is rumored that two years ago, when General Wu received the holy decree, he was assassinated by Qin Cha, which almost caused General Wu to rebel. ”
"Huh?"
"Is that really the case?"
……
Hearing this, there was an exclamation in the big tent. Because these generals who broke into the camp have been in the deep mountains and old forests all these years, and the assassination of Wu Shigong has been concealed by the imperial court and the Runing army, they don't know that such a thing has happened.
"Indeed!" Niu Jinxing nodded in affirmation, "Although it is also a folk rumor, there is no wind and no waves, and no one should make up such a rumor." ”
"Oh!" He Shaoqi suddenly realized, "In this case, Mr. Niu's previous words make sense." After talking for a long time, then Butcher Wu is our fellow practitioner! ”
"Haha——!" He Shaoqi's words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the big tent.
After the laughter, Niu Jinxing continued: "What General He said is extremely true, but there are some differences between General Wu and Chuang Ying. Although King Chuang and General Wu both want to overthrow the faint monarch of the imperial court, in the Ming Dynasty, King Chuang is holding high the banner of righteousness, and General Wu is still in the imperial court. And now there is even more of a thing, that General Wu didn't want to tear his face with the court now, so he was ordered to go to Liaodong to fight the Tartars. ”
"Why? Didn't the butcher of Wu know that this was a lose-lose plan for the imperial court? Tian Jianxiu was a little puzzled when he heard this.
"How could you not know?" Niu Jinxing waved his hand and said, "That Wu butcher should not be underestimated, although I don't know its details, but in ten years, it has risen from a thousand households to a warlord with tens of thousands of soldiers, and his talent must be amazing." And the reason why this is the case now is nothing more than people on the roof, and they have no choice but to do so. ”
"Why?" Speaking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but ask. (To be continued......)
