The words are divided into two ends, and the perspective comes to the Ming army camp in the west of Danyang County.

Today's main force of the Ming army is roughly stationed in the southwest of Danyang County and Wujin County, and the Danyang County controlled by the Qing army has realized a relatively loose encirclement in the northwest and south directions, leaving the east for the Qing army to escape and retreat, so as to avoid the Ming army wasting troops to attack the fortifications.

Once the Qing army dares to lose heart in Danyang City and provoke the people to resist, the Ming army can quickly respond to the outside under the response of the people, so that it will not be too late to rescue.

In the same way, because the enemy-occupied areas of the three counties of Danyang, Wujin and Jintan are distributed in a zigzag shape, there are open countryside between the county and the county seat that can be penetrated. Therefore, after the Ming army surrounded Danyang on three sides, the garrison in the south of Danyang went very far and extended to the west of Wujin County, realizing a unilateral encirclement of Wujin County from the west, and letting go of the northeast and south sides.

With such a deployment, Danyang Wai is missing one of the three, and Wujin Wai is missing three, which is enough to advance and retreat freely, and if the Qing army makes any move, Zhu Shuren can respond in time.

In addition, in the process of advancing before, the steady and steady knot of the village was a foolish battle, which was simply not leaky.

At this moment, in the Danyang camp, out of concern about the Jiangyin war situation, Cao Bianjiao and other generals were high-spirited and looked for Zhu Shuren to fight again:

"Lord Ministry, I can't wait! I heard that Jiangyin City is about to be breached, let's hurry up and fight Duoduo! ”

Zhu Shuren was still so determined: "I have confidence in Yan Yingyuan, this must be a trick that Duoduo can't attack for a long time and wants to lure the enemy to encircle and send reinforcements!" The Jiangyin City guarded by Yan Yingyuan could not be captured in a few days!

Duoduo couldn't help but use such a trick, which just means that he can't hold it anymore! We'll wait until they've finished blasting all the cannons! ”

Cao Bianjiao couldn't sit still: "Then we'll just wait and watch the friendly army fight?" ”

Zhu Shuren touched his chin: "Duoduo's tricks have given me some inspiration, and we can also do the opposite." If you don't want to wait in vain, I can find something for you to do.

I promise that we won't have to directly engage with the main force of Duoduo's headquarters for half a month, but we still have a way to weaken his combat power invisibly without directly fighting with Duoduo! Weaken his morale and morale! Create favorable conditions for the final battle! ”

Cao Bianjiao and others finally managed to endure their temperament, so they had to ask for advice slowly.

Only then did Zhu Shuren slowly and logically, and said with a glance: "The battle of Jiangyin has been fought for less than ten days, right?" What is there to hurry, it will only be ten days from the Qing army set fire to Dantu County and withdrew troops from the northern part of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

The Qing army can now block the news inside and outside Jiangyin County, and prevent our army from knowing what is happening in Jiangyin. Doesn't our army have an advantage in this regard? If you use your brains, our army also has a similar advantage in intelligence blockade. ”

Cao Bianjiao was not very good at intrigue and trickery, and other generals such as Zuo Zixiong, Jiang Shoude, and Lin Yangsheng who came with him didn't quite understand the twists and turns in this, so they had to look at each other, and finally looked at Zhu Shuren with an open mind to seek advice.

Zhu Shuren smiled lightly, dragged a map and glanced at it, and pointed to a certain location a few times:

"The Qing army has the advantage of the army, and it can blockade Jiangyin on the road, and I have the advantage of the navy, how long have the Yangtze River been blocked? We don't know the real situation in Jiangyin City, and the Qing army reinforcements in Jiangbei can know the situation of Duoduo?

Duoduo is one of the three powerful princes of the puppet Qing Dynasty today, how revered is his status, and his subordinates dare to give up on him? Now that the Qing army is in Yangzhou, it has hoarded how many reinforcements, money, food, materials, armor and ammunition have been hoarded.

】

When Duoduo crossed the river, their rear army did not have enough warships, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 rear troops who failed to cross the river. Now that nearly a month has passed, after knowing that Duoduo may be trapped in Jiangnan, the Qing army desperately transferred ships and sailors from the rear, and I don't know how much it cost.

According to the official's intelligence, in the past month, Kong Youde did not have to do anything else, and Dolgon instructed him to focus on finding ships and sailors, and desperately assembled a new naval division in Yangzhou, hoping to transport reinforcements to Duoduo once the Yangtze River channel was opened. Liu Liangzuo, who stayed in Yangzhou, was also assigned a similar task.

In this case, if we pretend to show weakness and let the Qing army in Jiangbei know that 'Duoduo finally captured Jinshan Temple after nearly a month of bloody fighting, and successfully surrounded and annihilated the Ming army Zheng Chenggong in the temple', so that the Jiangbei Qing army in Yangzhou can see the hope of reopening the Yangtze River waterway, do you think they will be savior, and then send a large number of Qing troops with a large number of supplies to the south to reinforce and respond?

And my Ming Dynasty actually still hides the absolute superiority of the naval division, Zheng Chenggong's brother has not been hit hard, let alone annihilated, when the second batch of Qing troops in Yangzhou is possible, is it possible to be intercepted and killed by our half-crossing and hit hard?

Further. The main force of the official army we left in the Hefei area of Jiangbei, that is, the men and horses of General Huang Degong Huang, had already taken advantage of the Yangzhou Qing army's attempt to shrink and reinforce Duoduo, and gradually recovered Hezhou (now Ma'anshan City and County, that is, the part of Ma'anshan located north of the Yangtze River) and other places that were abandoned after being burned and killed by the Yangzhou Qing army.

If the Qing army in Yangzhou sees a glimmer of hope for rescuing Duoduo, when some of their main forces are intercepted by our half-crossing sneak attack on the river, and the people's hearts are unstable, General Huang will use the cavalry stationed in Hezhou to sneak attack Yangzhou through Jiezhou, and cut off the contact between the Qing army in Yangzhou and Huai'an and Fengyang in the rear, is it possible to take advantage of the chaos of the Qing army in Yangzhou to completely recover Yangzhou!

Duoduo is already a dish on our plate anyway, I won't let him live until the first year of Longwu, the matter of the Chongzhen year will be completed in the Chongzhen year, I have confidence in Yan Yingyuan.

In this case, you are too idle to panic, so you can think about how to expand the results of the battle and recover Yangzhou! Yangzhou is now the advance base of the Qing army in Jiangbei to reinforce Duoduo, and the military supplies that have been mobilized but not yet used in order to reinforce Duoduo are hoarded there, waiting for the opening of the waterway and departure.

If we kill Duoduo first, there will be no need for these materials in Yangzhou to save Duoduo anymore, and they may be reevacuated and transported back to the north. And at that time, the defense of the Qing army in Yangzhou will become tighter, unlike now, because of the fear of the monarch and the top-heavy, the front power and the two wings, then we will not be able to destroy the war potential hoarded by the Qing army in Yangzhou.

Only by sneaking up on Duoduo before he dies will the enemy not reluctantly redeploy the supplies, and we can swallow all the war materials that Duoduo has hoarded with the headquarters of Duoduo and kill three birds with one stone! ”

Zhu Shuren's last sentence was very categorical, and it also made Cao Bianjiao and other generals completely impressed.

It was not until this moment that they remembered how far-sighted the Lord of the Ministry was: Liu Guoneng and Huang Degong had been left by Zhu Shuren in the western section of Huainan defense line dominated by Xinyang. Later, due to the change of the war situation, Huang Degong gradually moved east to Hefei.

All the generals felt that Zhu Shuren was a bit too wasteful, after all, Huang Degong was also the second only general under Zhu Shuren after Cao Bianjiao, so he had been guarding Jiangbei, although he had stabilized the territory around Hefei, but it was a pity to miss the final battle against Duoduo.

If you defend the city, even if you find a general whose combat power is one or two grades lower than Huang Degong's level, you can stabilize the line of water and water, which is a bit overkill.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shuren let Huang Degong hide so deeply! He left Huang Degong in Hefei, and he actually thought from the beginning that he would not only completely annihilate the main force of Duoduo crossing the river, but also destroy the war potential of the Qing army that was eager to rescue Duoduo in the follow-up!

Zhu Shuren not only wanted to kill Duoduo, but also completely restored the Huainan defense line in a battle, recovered Yangzhou, and directly realized the Ming Dynasty's "defending the river must defend Huai" in one step, so that all the food that the puppet Qing East Route Army went south this year will be spit out! Solve the battle potential of Duoduo and Duoduo's supporting war together!

I heard that the country surnamed Ye is finally going to make a big move, and the generals are finally full of fighting spirit, regardless of whether they directly rescue Yan Yingyuan or not, anyway, if there is a battle, it is good that the Tartars can be weakened heavily!

It doesn't matter what exactly is weakened! If you have confidence in Yan Yingyuan, you have confidence! They believe in the confidence of the country's surname!

They all believe that the country surnamed Ye will choose the most efficient and perfect route to kill the Tartars, and lead the Ming Dynasty from one victory to another! These generals, as long as they are executed!

This is also the credit accumulated by Zhu Shuren who has been in charge of one side and led the troops to supervise the war for more than five years, without a single defeat! He is the undefeated military god of the Ming Dynasty! No last resort!

After Cao Bianjiao and others unified their thoughts, the next problem was the specific implementation, their brains were not good at intrigues and tricks, and they couldn't understand for a while, how Zhu Shuren wanted to make the Jiangbei Qing army believe that "Duoduo has taken Jinshan Temple and destroyed Zheng Chenggong, instead of fleeing to Jiangyin in ashes."

After they couldn't figure it out, they didn't bother to think about it, so Cao Bianjiao asked directly: "Lord Ministry, although this plan is a good idea, how can we deceive the Qing army in Jiangbei, make them believe that Duoduo destroyed Zheng Chenggong, and let them hurry up to cross the river for reinforcements?" ”

Zhu Shuren smiled: "So, you don't usually pay attention to details, how can you become a generation of famous generals?" There is a difference between a famous general and a Meng.

Have you forgotten, ten days ago, the imperial court issued a lenient edict against Duoduo's shaving order, "those who keep their hair, righteous people, those who shave their hair, and refugees also", and then, Chen Shaozong, one of Geng Zhongming's generals, rebelled in front of the Jinshan Temple and killed his boss, Lian Decheng, the deputy flag owner of the Han army's flag with red flags, and led his troops to vote.

Of course, the generals of the Qing army in Jiangnan knew that Chen Shaozong had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, but the Yangtze River channel was blocked for us before, and the Qing army in Jiangbei still didn't know the news!

The puppet Qing and Han army flag sailors who stayed in Jiangbei originally had many generals of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Now let's let a general who was originally Geng Zhongming's general go back to fight back and spread false news, so as not to deceive the Jiangbei Qing Army!

Even if we fail and are recognized, we will lose a general Chen Shaozong at most, and there will be no more losses, and there will be no losses to my Ming descendants.

And as long as it succeeds, and finally can help the imperial army to take back Yangzhou, the official promises that he will add Chen Shaozong to the general army! Reward him for leading his troops to risk their lives and return to the enemy camp to deceive the enemy! ”

Cao Bianjiao and other generals finally completely admired the five bodies to the ground, it turned out that the surname of the country had already thought about it, and he wanted to use this kind of "Jiangbei's enemies still don't know that he had surrendered to the generals" to mislead.

This thing is indeed a business, the only capital is that Chen Shaozong has to take some risks, and if he is found out, he will be killed, but he is a general, and his life is not worth anything.

If he didn't make meritorious contributions, Chen Shaozong wouldn't even have the qualifications to be a general, at most he would be a guerrilla, but he could be promoted to the general army after doing it, and it was just right to use it as a touchstone for trial and error.

Moreover, today's military meeting, of course, will not allow a low-level existence like Chen Shaozong to participate. Everyone will also keep their mouths shut, and Zhu Shuren's words, naturally no one will tell Chen Shaozong.

Cao Bianjiao and the others figured out the idea and hurriedly asked for battle, but Zhu Shuren was not polite to them, and immediately preliminarily assigned a dispatch:

"This matter has to be divided into several steps, and before Chen Shaozong succeeds in fraud, other backhands will not be used. I'll roughly assign it first, on the Jiangbei side, I have already contacted Huang Degong in advance, so you don't have to worry about the sneak attack on Yangzhou from the west.

I will choose another general from among you, with my own troops and horses, from the east of Dantu, choose the place where the enemy army is empty, cross the Yangtze River to the north, and then attack Yangzhou from east to west, and cooperate with Huang Degong to block the enemy's escape route in Yangzhou.

Even if you can't break the city immediately, you must cut off Yangzhou that is empty after being lured out of the city as soon as possible. If the Qing army in Yangzhou can be lured out and annihilated on the river, you will take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and if the enemy in the city is still strong, surround it first.

When the time comes, I will attack the city with the main force of the infantry again. The walls of Yangzhou had collapsed in several places when they were breached by the Qing army. The Qing people did not pay attention to defense, and the haste was definitely not completely repaired, and our army bombarded it with Hongyi artillery, and the city would definitely be broken in a few days!

After getting the head of the Yangzhou defender, I naturally have another wonderful use, and when the time comes, I can take the head of the Yangzhou defender and the seal letter and other things in the decisive battle with the main force of Duoduo, plus the prisoners of the Qing army in Yangzhou, and hit the morale of the main force of Duoduo!

Let them know that I have even dug up their nest! Even if the Yangtze River channel is opened, they will be homeless, and they will all die in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

Cao Bianjiao was enthusiastic when he heard this, and hurriedly accepted the task of temporarily traveling for ten days and half a month, saying that he would lead a sneak attack force to cross the river from the east to besiege the north of Yangzhou from east to west, and cooperate with Huang Degong.

Zhu Shuren was also convinced that Cao Bianjiao was the best candidate, so he promised, and said majestically that let Cao Bianjiao be a little more profitable, and after taking Yangzhou, he would definitely let him participate in the last battle against Duoduo.

The Ming army quickly became operational, and it was carefully executed according to Zhu Shuren's plan.

And Chen Shaozong, who was assigned a task, although he didn't want to take this risk at first. But I heard that after the matter is completed, he can be promoted to the chief soldier, even if the matter does not work, the family members he designated can always enjoy the treatment of the chief soldier, and the court will arrange everything.

Chen Shaozong could only pinch his nose to execute, he knew that he had already reversed once, and it was absolutely impossible for him to go back to the Tartars again, it was better to seek wealth and danger.

……

A day later, under the arrangement of Zhu Shuren, a fire broke out in Jinshan Temple in the north of Zhenjiang City and on Jinshan Island.

The fire started in the middle of the night, and the fire was large enough to be seen across the Yangtze River from Yangzhou Guazhoudu.

This fire is for Guazhoudu to see the Jiangbei Qing army who have always wanted to take over Duoduo! If you want to succeed in deception, of course, you also need to make a little material capital.

After setting the fire, Chen Shaozong took some henchmen and the elite of the Ming army who were responsible for monitoring him, and quietly went to Jiangbei in a few small boats, so as to tell the Qing army in Guazhoudu: This fire is one of the means used by the prince to break through Jinshan Temple and destroy Zheng Chenggong! It is the flame of victory of the prince! The fire is so big, it means that Zheng Chenggong has been extinguished!
