Chapter 171: Rescue Li Zicheng
Dozens of scholars had a lot of thoughts, but Chongzhen had no waves in his heart.
With a clear cough, Chongzhen said, "Everyone has arrived, so let's start." β
Hu Guozhu immediately walked to the large screen in the hall, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map hanging on the large screen, and said: "Ten days ago, I took 800 Yiding to the north along the canal and searched on the road. β
"No trace of Jiannu has been found in the territory of Yanzhou Prefecture."
"It wasn't until near NΓΌshan Lake in Dongchang Mansion that I finally found out that Jiannu didn't collect at night."
"We launched an encirclement and suppression of the night slaves who did not collect them, these slaves were really difficult, and several units of the night did not collect and ran away, so we only destroyed one and caught two alive."
"After torture, this time Jiannu is attacking in two ways."
"In addition to the Eastern Army led by Dord, there is also the Western Army of Azig."
"Duoduo's East Road army originally came to my Daming, but when it reached the territory of Dezhou five days ago, it suddenly changed its route to the west towards Weihui's mansion, leaving only Haoge, the prince of Jiannusu, to lead 6,000 people to the southwest."
"So we also turned southwest and continued to track down the Jiannu of Hauge's department."
"After passing through Dongchang Mansion, Haoge's department headed towards Caozhou and Dingtao, and according to our speculation, its ultimate goal was either Kaifeng or returning to Germany."
After Hu Guozhu finished speaking, he retreated to the side.
The civil and military generals and soldiers in the hall looked at each other.
Chongzhen can probably understand their feelings, this is like a cook who has worked hard for more than half a month to prepare a table of hard dishes, only to be told that the guests are not coming and going to another house.
Or maybe I'm taking off my pants and showing me this?
The kind of uncomfortable feeling of scratching the heart and lungs is really hard to describe.
After a long time, Jin Xuan asked in disappointment, "Does it mean that Jiannu is not coming?" β
"I'm afraid so." Hu Guozhu nodded and said, "If nothing else, it's to fight the thieves." β
"Wow, go fight the thieves." At this time, Cao Hu, Ma Huabao, Jin Shenghuan and other commanders of the ten towns also reacted, but the general's reaction was not disappointment, but happiness.
"Well, there's nothing to do with us."
"We can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight now."
"It's best for the slaves and the thieves to fight and lose."
"I remember that there seems to be an idiom for this?"
"There are some and there are, this is called the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits."
The chief military officer of the ten towns celebrated there, and dozens of soldiers looked disdainful.
In the end, Zheng Sen couldn't help it, raised his hand and asked, "Holy Lord, can Xiaosheng speak?" β
The sixty-four sergeants were only attending the imperial meeting, and according to the rules, they were not allowed to speak, so Zheng Sen had to ask Chongzhen's permission if he wanted to speak.
Chongzhen nodded: "Yes." β
"Thank you." Zheng Sen walked to the center of the hall.
After getting up, Zheng Sen first looked around, and then said: "Holy Lord, the rank of the lord and the general, Xiaosheng thinks that this is a godsend, and I must not stand idly by." β
"What do you mean?" Cao Hu glared at him and said, "Don't stand by, the Northern Expedition?" β
Cao Hu was originally Liu Liang's left general, and he was really the same cowardice as Liu Liangzuo.
However, Chongzhen had no waves in his heart, because he had long known what kind of virtue these chief military officers were, to put it bluntly, there were few that could be used, if it weren't for the fact that King Qin's son was still too young, he would have replaced these general soldiers long ago.
Not only these general troops must be replaced, but the border army of the 30 towns must also be dismantled on a large scale.
Because these general soldiers and border troops suffered too many defeats under Jiannu, they all exported shadows, and they also became habits, and the field battles were basically collapsed at the touch of a button, and the ball was useless.
Chongzhen was silent, which was acquiescence in the eyes of these martial artists.
So Cao Hu became even more energetic: "Boy, how many years have you eaten?" Have you ever fought against Jiannu on the battlefield? Do you know how powerful Jiannu's big bow is? β
"I really didn't mean to scare you."
"A small body like yours, whoosh, was shot through by Jiannu with one arrow."
"You haven't even seen the shadow of Jiannu, this little life is gone."
Another general soldier named Qin Dapeng is also Liu Liangzuo's old department, this guy is estimated to have read a few years of books, and he can also drop the text: "Confucius said: People are valuable and self-aware......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, more than sixty scholars burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Dapeng was furious, "People are self-aware, that's right." β
Zheng Hongkui, the chief soldier of the Navy Division standing next to him, couldn't stand it, covered his face and said: "This sentence is not wrong, but it was not said by Confucius, it was said by Lao Tzu." β
"Huh? Hey, that's what it means anyway. β
Qin Dapeng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said: "Since the old slave started the army, our Ming Dynasty has fought with Jiannu for fifty years, and how many times have we won the battle seriously?" β
Zheng Sen retorted: "Didn't Xia Zhen win last time? β
Qin Dapeng said: "Last time, Xia Zhen won the battle, but it was only Jiannu's way, but this time it was different, this time it was the Jiannu army!" It's the army of Jiannu, you know? β
Seeing that Chongzhen still didn't speak, Qin Dapeng was even more energetic.
"Not counting the Mongol and Han armies this time, there are tens of thousands of real slaves!"
"You scholars, you don't know how fierce real slaves are."
"All in all, Jiannu is really fierce and can't be provoked in the field."
"So, it would be great to be able to use the hands of thieves to consume Jiannu."
"Let's watch the play in Xuzhou, just waiting for Jiannu and the thieves to fight and lose."
"And then?" Zheng Sen said, "What about after the Jiannu and the thieves fight and lose?" β
"And then? And then there was no more, and then there was no more. Qin Dapeng said, "Anyway, it's just watching a show." β
Zheng Sen said: "Don't take advantage of the Northern Expedition when both Jiannu and the thieves are defeated? Don't you take this opportunity to recover the Jingshi? β
This turn is the turn of Cao Hu, Qin Dapeng and other commanders of the ten towns to laugh, as if they heard the funniest joke, the Northern Expedition? These scholars really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.
If you can hold the Yellow River, you will burn high incense.
The saint just wants to defend half of the south of the Yangtze River.
Also the Northern Expedition? That is to say, do you really believe? Silly.
Chongzhen still has no expression on his face, although Cao Hu and Qin Dapeng are cowardly, but what they said is right, now the Northern Expedition is looking for death, this is not a matter of more soldiers and fewer soldiers, nor is it a problem of insufficient food and salary, let alone whether the garrison in Beijing is empty, but with Qin Dapeng and Cao Hu, how can you go on the Northern Expedition?
There is no need for Duoduo's main force of Jiannu, Haoge's thousands of partial divisions can crush the border army of thirty towns in Xuzhou in the field battle, yes, Huang Degong's ten town border army is also included!
If it was only Huang Degong's Ten Town Soldiers, he could barely fight with Haoge's partial division.
But if you add Cao Hu, Qin Dapeng and other border troops of Twenty Towns, then you don't have to fight at all, you will mess up, put them in front, and crush the friendly troops behind, and put them behind, you will definitely take the lead in routing, and then it will lead to the collapse of the friendly forces in front, which was how Hong Chengchou was defeated in Songshan back then.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.
Qin Dapeng and Cao Hu are the most typical pig teammates.
What makes Chongzhen even more helpless is that he can't move these pig teammates now.
Because the prince of Qin has not yet grown up, the new army is not even visible.
Therefore, it is also necessary to rely on these pig teammates to hold the Huanghuai defense line and buy time for Daming.
So the question is, do you really want to watch the fire from across the strait as Cao Hu and Qin Dapeng said?
Answer: Of course no, the appointment is not possible! Because to do so is to force Li Zicheng to die, to force Li Zicheng to death, that is, to force Daming to a dead end!
In a word, saving Li Zicheng is saving Daming.
If Li Zicheng is defeated, Daming may also die.
Isn't it magical? Li Zicheng, who almost single-handedly overthrew the Ming Dynasty, turned into the savior of the Ming Dynasty?
But this is the reality, the reality is often more absurd and more magical, more unexpected and more incredible, the Ming Dynasty and Li Zicheng, the number one thief, actually became a community of destiny.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen looked at Cao Hu and Qin Dapeng and asked faintly, "Then have you thought about it again?" What if a first-class thief can't lose both with Jiannu? What will happen? β
Cao Hu said: "Even if Jiannu wins the thieves in the end, he must have suffered heavy casualties and can't afford to go south, right?" β
"That's the reason." Qin Dapeng also echoed, "The thieves are still very capable of fighting, and they will definitely be able to defeat the remnants of Jiannu, so that our Ming Dynasty can firmly defend half of the south of the Yangtze River." β
"I'm afraid not." Plug Yinxi finally spoke.
He didn't speak just now, also because he was worried that Chongzhen would have a hot brain in the Northern Expedition.
But listening to Chongzhen's opening just now, Du Yinxi knew that his worries were completely unnecessary, so he also decisively stood up for Chongzhen, the Northern Expedition could not be the Northern Expedition, but it was still possible to send troops to fight for the thieves.
"Not necessarily?" Cao Hu snorted and said, "Then according to Lord Du's meaning, Jiannu can easily defeat the thieves?" β
With the deepening of the troubled times, border town generals like Cao Hu and Qin Dapeng are no longer very afraid of the suppression of civilian officials.
Jin Xuan said: "Haven't you thought that if the first-class thief sees that the situation is wrong, he will directly give up Guanzhong and go elsewhere?" After all, thieves are rogues in the first place, and it is the usual way to wander around. β
"This." Cao Hu and Qin Dapeng were dumb for a while.
"Blocking Qing and Jin Qing's worries are right." Chongzhen finally set the tone, "The thieves will definitely run away when they see that the situation is wrong, and there is a high probability that they will go through Hanzhong and go straight south through Hubei." β
Plug Yinxi and Jin Xuan bowed their hands at the same time: "Holy Mingjian." β
Chongzhen said: "Therefore, the Northern Expedition is not advisable, and it is not advisable to stand by and watch, we still have to fight a battle and provide some strategies for the thieves as much as possible to strengthen their momentum and strengthen their determination." β
As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, the tone was set, and there was no need to argue about whether to fight or not.
Now what we want to discuss is how to fight? How many troops should be used, and to what extent?
In this regard, it is not what Cao Hu and Qin Dapeng are good at, so they all shut up one by one and honestly became the audience.
