Chapter 967: Dispute

Biquge.inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to everyone and said, "All the generals sit down, you continue to discuss yours, I'll just take a look and listen to it,"

"Yes, Your Highness," the generals looked at each other, and they all sat down one after another.

Shangguan Xiu looked at the generals, and then looked at the map placed at the other end of the camp, and walked over slowly.

Yu Tong, the commander of the Fourth Legion, first owed a debt to Shangguan Xiu, and then said to Wei Chizhen: "General, now that Qianlong City, Changting Town, and Lianping Town are fighting each other, our army should first uproot the enemy troops in Changting Town and Lianping Town, so that the main force of the 200,000 enemy troops can be surrounded in Qianlong City,"

Pang Ying frowned and said: "It's just that this Changting Town and Lianping Town are not easy to fight, saying that they are towns, in fact, they are two small cities, Changting Town has the Liao River and the Dongjiang River below, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the territory is mostly a quagmire land, which is not easy to attack, Lianping Town is located between the ravines and canyons, and it is even more difficult to open it,"

"Yes, our army has attacked these two places several times, and each time we have lost our troops, we have returned in vain,"

"But if we don't defeat Changting and Lianping first, if our army directly takes Qianlong City, it will inevitably suffer from the enemy's three-sided attack, and it will be difficult to win,"

The generals and officials discussed a lot, and they were at a loss for the triangular defense formation put forward by the Ningnan army, just when people were disagreeing, Shangguan Xiu, who was looking down at the map, suddenly said: "It's just to encircle a hidden dragon city and trap 200,000 enemy troops, what is it, and to complete the encirclement of Ningnan's 500,000 central army in Mingshui County, that's what our army should consider,"

After completing the encirclement of 500,000 enemy troops, hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, the faces of the generals present also changed.

Triple siege, ten times siege of the enemy, this is the theory of military law, in Mingshui County, the strength of the Feng army is not as much as the Ningnan army, and it is even necessary to complete the siege of the entire Ningnan army, isn't this whimsical,

Even if it was whimsical and a fool's dream, no one dared to say a word in front of Shangguan Xiu, Wei Chizhen took the lead in standing up, bowed down and said: "How to complete the encirclement of the enemy, please make it clear to Your Highness,"

Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at him, then at the others, and said with a smile: "Presumably, the generals already know everything about Mingshui County,"

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand the meaning of Shangguan Xiu's words, until Wei Chizhen walked over to Shangguan Xiu and stood next to the map, everyone reacted, got up and left the table, and gathered around the map.

Shangguan Xiu casually picked up a baton from the side of the case, dotted it on the map, and said: "Divide two lines of soldiers and horses, go all the way south, attack Gucheng, Qucheng, cut off the junction of Mingshui County and Leping County, go all the way to the west, attack Qingcheng, Liangcheng, cut off the junction of Mingshui County and Fengyuan County, taking these four cities is equivalent to cutting off all the passages between Mingshui County and Ningnan, and the Ningnan Army in Mingshui County has become a lone army, if the Ningnan Army does not want to sit still, it is bound to break out, as long as the Ningnan Army chooses to break through, it will lose the advantage of holding on, and our army can fight a face-to-face decisive battle with it,"

When he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, one by one furrowed their brows, looked down at the map, and was silent in thought,

Wei Chizhen pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, such a division of troops to fight, and it is a large-scale division of troops, it is very likely that all units of our army will be broken by the Ningnan army one by one,"

"If you want to win, it is inevitable to take some risks, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, how can you win this battle?"

Most of the generals' faces are not very good-looking, if they follow Shangguan Xiu's tactics, they are afraid that they don't know how they died in the end, their own 500,000 troops, but also divide four roads, to capture Gucheng, Qucheng, Qingcheng, Liangcheng, if the divided forces are less, even if the four cities are taken, it is not of much significance, if the divided forces are more, their own forces will be completely dispersed, and they will inevitably be broken by the Ningnan army with superior forces one by one,

People shook their heads secretly, and finally looked at Wei Chizhen, who held his chin and stared at the map intently, as if he was really seriously thinking about the feasibility of Shangguan Xiu's tactics,

This time he thought about it for a long time, shook his head slowly, and said, "This is too risky, and the general will think that it is not safe,"

Shangguan Xiu snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "Then what kind of tactics does General Wei Chi think is the most secure, do you delay it indefinitely, drag it until the Ningnan people are ready for war in the rear, and drag it until the Ningnan people continuously transport sufficient reserves and strategic material resources to the front line,"

"That's not what the last general meant," Wei Chi Zhense said: "The central army of the Ningnan Army in Mingshui County has 500,000, and the local army also exceeds 100,000, and there are more than 10,000 people in the rivers and lakes to help, the total strength of the Ningnan Army in Mingshui County is actually far more than our army, in this case, our army still has to divide the troops, but also to encircle, I'm afraid, it will be difficult to succeed,"

Through the tactics formulated by Shangguan Xiu, you can judge his character, his appetite is too big, with an army of 500,000, to besiege the Ningnan army of more than 600,000, this is simply a fantasy, there is no possibility of success at all,

Shangguan Xiu sneered and asked: "Wei Chizhen, what do you say is the advantage of our Feng Army, is it well-equipped, I'm afraid it may not be, the weapons and equipment of the Ningnan people are not inferior to our army, and the tactical concept is advanced, I'm afraid it is not necessarily, when the Ningnan people use firearms and study firearm tactics, we are still paying attention to the arrow formation, so, what is the advantage of our army against the Ningnan Army?"

All the generals looked at Shangguan Xiu with big eyes, and they were all silent, including Wei Chizhen,

Shangguan Xiu slammed the baton in his hand to the map, and said in a loud voice: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, even if the enemy is outnumbered, even if they know that they are invincible, but the soldiers of our Feng Army still have the courage to fight with the enemy, and they still have the determination to return the horse leather shroud without seeking the return of the brocade clothes and jade, this is the advantage of our Feng Army, our army is never afraid of a head-to-head confrontation with any enemy, as long as the enemy can be lured out, as long as the enemy army can be forced to abandon the city defense, this battle, our army has won most of the battle,"

His words are not rhetoric, the Zhenjun army commanded by Shangguan Xiu has always fought like this, even if there are only a few thousand people on his side, and there is a legion of the enemy army on the opposite side, the soldiers of the Zhenjun army dare to follow Shangguan Xiu and rush up to fight to the death with the enemy.

When all the generals heard this, they all had a sense of enthusiasm, what Shangguan Xiu said and advocated was the military soul of the old wind army, and it was this spirit and courage that the old wind army relied on to unify the princes, overthrow the Haotian Dynasty, and establish a powerful wind empire.

Shangguan Xiu's words stimulated the military spirit of the old wind army in the bones of the generals, and people subconsciously clenched their fists, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Wei Chizhen together,

Wei Chi Zhen originally clenched his fists, but soon, his clenched fists loosened again, and he said in a calm tone: "The one who is fighting against our army is Liao Hua, the right general of Ningnan, this person is proficient in military books, knows the tactics of war, and is by no means a general person, and confronts such an enemy, even if he shows a little flaw, he may be seized by the enemy and give our army a fatal blow, His Royal Highness's strategy, the last general thinks it is too risky, please forgive the last general for being difficult to obey his fate,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, laughed angrily, and asked, "General Wei Chi thinks that I am asking for your consent now,"

"The last general doesn't dare," without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to answer, Wei Chizhen said with a straight face: "The last general is the commander of the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth armies, and is appointed by His Majesty's personal order.

The implication is that even if Shangguan Xiu is a general, even if Shangguan Xiu has proposed his tactics and strategies, he now has no right to command and mobilize these five legions.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped, Wei Chizhen said this, doesn't it mean that he is doing it against Shangguan Xiu, in the eyes of everyone, Yu Chizhen has always been a very wise and sleek person, how can he be so impulsive this time,

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, and before he could speak, Xiao Jue, who was standing behind him, shouted: "Presumptuous,"

Wei Chi Zhen was also dry, directly knelt on his knees, and said: "Since Your Majesty has appointed the last general as the commander of the three armies, the last general will be responsible for the lives of the soldiers of the five armies, and will never dare to risk the lives of 500,000 soldiers.

Shangguan Xiu's gaze fell on Wei Chizhen, he didn't speak for a long time, his fingers lightly tapped on the table on the side, making a rhythmic soft sound,

Everyone present felt that the air pressure in the Chinese military tent was constantly decreasing, and sweat gradually oozed from people's heads.

In this atmosphere, every minute and every second is a kind of sad torment,

I don't know how long it took, Shangguan Xiu snorted coldly, suddenly turned around and walked out, and at the same time said without looking back: "Absolutely, immediately draft the music, play the imperial court, I will take over the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth legions,"

"Yes, Your Highness," Xiao Jue replied loudly, and before he walked out of the camp, he didn't forget to turn around and glared at Wei Chizhen, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"The last general sends His Highness," everyone suddenly came back to their senses, bowed down in unison, and waited for Shangguan Xiu to walk out for a while, before people straightened up and looked at Yu Chizhen,

Pang Ying, Yu Tong and Yu Chizhen have a good relationship, both of them are Wei Chiyao's old subordinates, and they have today's achievements, thanks to Wei Chiyao's promotion of the two of them back then, they have great respect for Yu Chizhen.

The two came to Wei Chizhen's left and right, pulled him up from the ground, and said with relief: "Your Highness fights, there are habits of His Highness, generals fight wars, and there are habits of generals, this is understandable, everyone just has different ideas, Your Highness is by no means a narrow-minded person, and the general should not worry too much,"

Wei Chizhen smiled bitterly, Shangguan Xiu is indeed not a narrow-minded person, and he may not hate his own collision, but he is definitely a persistent person, and he will definitely try his best to win the command of the three armies.

He never doubted Shangguan Xiu's ability to lead the army to fight, but the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth legions were not the Zhenjun army, and they could not fight according to the habits of the Zhenjun army.
