Chapter 237: Changing Events
Peng Dayi reversed his usual appearance of laughing and scolding, his face became solemn, and he groaned for a while before continuing: "The Tartars stand on three legs in the middle of the court, each of them has its own affairs, and the Tartar Emperor is a person with extremely soft ears. β₯ β₯ β₯ Xiao β₯ said, although www.23wx.com Tokhoff is powerful, but it can't stand up the internal and external attacks, as long as we find a way to catch his handle, let Hama and others know, guarantee that in only three days, Tokhoff will have to be transferred back to Dadu by the Tartar Emperor for interrogation, and our Haozhou City will naturally be relieved. β
"Hmm. General Peng elaborated. Guo Zixing also looked solemn, stretched out his hand and twisted his beard, looked at everyone, nodded and said.
"Generals, generals. Now the enemy army is divided into two ways, the purpose is to completely cut off our retreat, the enemy's intentions can be described as extremely vicious, but it also exposes his flaws.
Whether it is the comparison of troops or the ability to fight alone, Tokhtar's elite army is above us, but his younger brother Yexian Timur can't be compared with Tokhtar, and they wouldn't have thought that we would know that Timur was ambushed in the Ghost Stream, so it is better for us to take the initiative to attack first when the Tokhtar army has not yet arrived in Haozhou City......" Peng Da said in a low voice.
"General Peng, are you saying that we will attack Timur first?" Guo Zixing interrupted Peng Da's words, twisting his beard and asked.
Peng Da slapped his thigh and said, "That's right." Dashuai, then Timur was timid and afraid of death, had no experience in leading troops, and was very arrogant. To deal with him, not many troops are needed at all. We only need to send 50,000 elite soldiers, day and night, and after arriving at the Ghost Sorrow Stream, the cavalry will attack, and we will definitely be able to break Timur first.
At the same time, we sent a few scouts to infiltrate the imperial court and the Tokhtar army, spreading rumors around, saying that Timur was defeated by our army first, losing more than 100,000 horses, and the Tokhok army will inevitably shake the hearts of the army.
In this way, we can hold the city of Haozhou without consuming a large number of troops. οΌβ
As soon as Peng finished speaking, several generals present fell into deep thought.
Peng Da's words can be described as extremely bold and novel, he knew the court and several important Tartar officials very well, so he was able to come up with this strategy, if it was really as he said, it was indeed the smallest price in exchange for the greatest victory, on the contrary, there was also a great risk in this strategy.
First of all, the current strength of the defenders of the city is far lower than that of Tokto, and this is the most critical moment, and 50,000 elite soldiers are sent outside the city, which greatly weakens the strength of the defenders;
Also, 50,000 elite soldiers can deal with the 100,000, or even more than 200,000, elite soldiers who also preceded Timur? This is an adventure in the first place. Although Timur was a civil official, was he really so incompetent? Could it really be that Timur would let his younger brother, who did not know the art of war, take an adventure with hundreds of thousands of troops just because of his own selfishness? This is not the style of Tokhtar? In case of miscalculation, these 50,000 elite soldiers would be like sheep in the mouth of a tiger and given to the Tartars for nothing.
Besides, Zhu Chongba was just torturing a path-finding soldier, and then he saw the enemy army at night, so could he hastily determine the accuracy of the news? If there was a mistake, it would be a complete loss.
These concerns, several people present were constantly thinking in their heads, considering the gains and losses, and for a while, no one in the handsome tent dared to speak rashly.
"General Tang, General Deng. Guo Zixing suddenly said: "What did General Peng say just now, what do you two think?"
Tang He and Deng Yu glanced at each other. Deng Yuxian said: "Marshal, now that we are out of the pressure of the army, we are outnumbered, and if we want to win in defeat, we can only take the risk of surprise soldiers to have a glimmer of hope for victory." General Peng's plan just now, in the eyes of the last general, should be feasible!"
"Hmm. General Tang, what do you see?" Guo Zixing nodded and looked at Tang He again.
Tang He looked at the army and said firmly: "General, the last general agrees with General Deng's opinion just now. Although the last general does not know anything about Timur, nor does he understand the various open and secret battles in the current court, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must work hard for it to protect Haozhou City. What General Peng said just now is reasonable and well-founded, and the last general believes that it is feasible. β
"Good. Zhu Chongba, you are most familiar with the situation of ghosts, tell me your opinion. Guo Zixing turned around, looked at Zhu Chongba, and said slowly.
Unexpectedly, on the handsome account, Guo Zixing would actually ask Zhu Chongba and ask him to express his views on the major events of the military aircraft. Zhu Chongba pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Dashuai, that ghost sorrow stream is a natural danger, and now Timur's army is ambushed in the middle mountain stream, but it is a dead end, if our army captures it from above, it will be effortless." The opportunity must not be missed, and he feels that what the three generals said just now is extremely true. β
"Since several generals have said so. ......" Guo Zixing pondered for a moment, patted his seat, and said loudly: "That's it! β
"The end will be. Peng Da and Tang He stepped forward at the same time.
"You quickly gather 50,000 elite soldiers, and immediately set off for the Ghost Sorrow Stream, day and night, and be sure to take Timur in the shortest possible time!" Guo Zixing threw down a golden command.
Peng Da and Tang He, the two generals, were ordered to go out of the account.
"Where is Deng Yue?" Guo Zixing picked up another golden order.
"The end will be. Deng Yu said loudly.
"General Deng, you quickly organized 300 people, disguised themselves and mixed into the military camp in the capital and Tokhtar, and spread the news everywhere, saying that Tokhtar was for his own selfishness, and even let his younger brother also lead Timur to lead the army to fight, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of troops were sent out, and there was not a single soldier left. This news must be heard by Hama and others. Guo Zixing commanded loudly.
"Don't worry. Deng Yu also took the order and left.
Only Guo Zixing and Zhu Chongba were left in the handsome tent. Zhu Chongba originally thought that he was going to follow Peng Da and Tang and the two generals to the Ghost Sorrow Stream to deal with Timur first, after all, he was the person who was most familiar with the enemy's whereabouts there. Unexpectedly, Guo Zixing didn't want to let himself go to the ghost stream at all.
After issuing the two handsome orders, Zhu Chong waited with eight eyes, but he didn't expect that Guo Zixing was actually sitting in the Taishi chair, lying back with his head back, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Zhu Chongba didn't know if Guo Zixing had forgotten about him, or if he had another order, he stared and waited for half an hour, Guo Zixing was still like that. Zhu Chongba couldn't help but hold his breath, and said in a low voice: "Marshal, what is the task of the humble position?"
Guo Zixing slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Chongba with a strange look, and Zhu Chongba's heart was furious. After a while, Guo Zixing said slowly: "Zhu Chongba, you went out with Ying'er this time and encountered so many dangers, why did you save Ying'er?"
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Guo Zixing would actually ask such an insignificant question, Zhu Chongba was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Marshal, your subordinates are your personal soldiers, and it is the responsibility of your subordinates to protect the eldest lady, the eldest lady is in danger, and of course the subordinates have to protect it desperately." β
"Oh, I see. Guo Zixing nodded, and said: "Ying'er has been pampered since she was a child, and she has been willful, but you have suffered a lot with her in the past few days." β
"Well. The eldest lady is indeed a little willful, but on the whole, she still behaves decently, and her subordinates do not have any hardships. The second monk Zhu Chong was confused, and he didn't know what Guo Zixing was trying to say.
"That's good. Guo Zixing showed a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Zhu Chongba, how long have you been following the old man?"
"It has been half a year since my subordinates defected to Dashuai in September last year. Zhu Chongba looked at Guo Zixing and said in a low voice.
"Half a year, that's not a short time. In half a year, the old man will not be wrong. Ha ha. Guo Zixing laughed dryly, stood up, and paced back and forth on the stage, as if he was thinking about something. "You have not only saved the life of the old man, but also saved Ying'er's life several times, and the merit is higher than the savior, Zhu Chongba, you have made such a great contribution, the old man thinks about it, there is only one way to reward you. β
Zhu Chongba was taken aback, he didn't know what Guo Zixing meant, and hurriedly said loudly: "Dashuai, saving you is the credit of General Peng, and his subordinates dare not take credit, as for saving the eldest lady, it is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility, and there is really no need for any reward from Dashuai." β
"Hmm. Zhu Chongba, you don't have to postpone it. Guo Zixing shook his head with a smile, and said: "However, how to reward you, the old man still has to discuss it with his wife, so you can step back for the time being." β
"Yes. Zhu Chongba thought for a while, and then said: "Dashuai, the terrain of the ghostly stream is very familiar to his subordinates, if General Peng and General Tang He go to attack Timur first, his subordinates can do their part, I don't know ...... Dashuai."
"No! General Tang He has lived in Haozhou for a long time, he knows the situation in Haozhou well, although the ghost stream is remote, it can't be difficult for him, you don't have to worry. Guo Zixing shook his head and said.
"In that case, then the subordinates ......," Zhu Chongba asked again.
Guo Zixing stepped off the stage, looked at Zhu Chongba and said: "You have been tired for the past few days, so you should go back and have a good rest first, and come back to the handsome tent at noon tomorrow, the old man has his own arrangements." β
"Yes. Zhu Chongba didn't dare to ask any more questions, and was ordered to walk out of the tent.
As soon as he came out of the handsome tent, Zhu Chongba only felt full of doubts, he really didn't know what kind of medicine Guo Zixing bought in the gourd just now, he thought about it, but he couldn't get the point, seeing that the sky was already four watches, the east was already twilight, and he was already tired after running around for days, so he hurriedly hit the horse and returned to his house, and his clothes couldn't be dragged down, and he fell asleep.
