Chapter 19: The Bloody Battle of Kunming (1)
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the yamen, and hundreds of people rushed into the yamen, and the hall was crowded, and some were even standing outside the hall.
"Slap ......" Li An grabbed the waking wood and slapped it hard, and the hall fell silent for a moment. Wu Sanxing stood in front of the public case, picked up the roster and began to roll call: "Jin Tongwu ......"
After a while, Wu Sansheng closed the roster, "Yu Dawang, a total of 104 people." ”
Li An nodded after hearing this, stood up and walked to the public case, and took out the "Ming Army Drill Code" from his arms.
"Did any of you bring this copy of the Ming Army Drill Code?" Li An asked, holding the "Ming Army Drill Code".
There was silence in the lobby, and no one answered for a while.
"The last general is here." Wu Sanxing, Lei Chaosheng, Ma Bao, and Jin Tongwu took out the "Ming Army Drill Code".
"The last general is here." Outside the hall, a thousand presidents replied loudly.
"Of the 104 people, only four of them were brought, and the remaining 100 were deaf? Why did this king ask you to carry the "Ming Army Drill Code" with you, why do you all think that your ability is greater than that of this king? Li An scolded sharply.
The generals hurriedly said that they did not dare and surrendered their hands to plead guilty.
"Okay, the first time, the king will not be investigated, and the next one will not be an example. The one outside the hall brought the "Ming Army Drill Code" into the lobby. ”
The Qian general outside the hall heard the sound and entered the lobby, and the generals made way for him one after another.
The Qian general came in and knelt down on one knee, "The last general will see the king." ”
"Excuse me, what is your last name, what is your name? What is your current job? ”
"The last general is a Siamese, no surname, no word, because of the use of the big sword, the army gave the last general a nickname of Xiao Guan Yu, and is now the second town of Qianzong."
"Oh? No name and no surname, how about this king give you a name? ”
Li An thought for a moment, "Uh...... Since it is the "Ming Army Drill Codex" so that this king can recognize you, then it is called Li Lu, the word Ming Dictionary"
"Thank you for the name." Li Lu's face showed joy, and from now on, he will also be a famous Han person.
Subsequently, Li Ang awarded 200 taels of silver to the four generals who brought the "Ming Army Drill Code", 50 taels each.
"This king emphasizes again, in the future, he will carry the "Ming Army Drill Code" with him, do you understand?"
"Understood," the generals replied in a loud voice.
Li An turned around and opened the map on the public case, "This king plans to feint to attack Kunming, and this time the horse brothers came to vote, which made Wu Sangui, the thief, suffer heavy losses, and when the thief and horses are all lost, he will definitely ask Shang Kexi in Guangzhou for help."
At that time, the king personally led the soldiers and horses to Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, and sent another army and horses to attack Guangzhou, which is still gratifying."
"The last general seconded." Ma Bao was the first to stand up in support.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Sanxing, Jin Tongwu, Ma Siliang and others also said that this policy was feasible.
"Since there are no objections, which of you is going to attack Guangzhou?" Ang Lee walked back to the back of the case and sat down.
"By the time the end of the general was anyway, Wu Sangui had already mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Kunming City. , There are also hundreds of large and small artillery pieces and ten Shenwei General cannons, and the autumn grain has been harvested in advance, Wu Sangui can now be said to be strong and full of food. The feint attack must be well controlled, otherwise it will only increase casualties. Ma Bao reminded.
"What Sanbao said is reasonable, and the feint has to grasp the strength. This king will definitely let Wu Sangui stay in Kunming City. Li An said loudly to the generals.
"The last general asked for orders to lead the troops to attack Guangzhou." Jin Tongwu and Lei Pilgrim asked Li An for his life at the same time.
"Haha, you two ask for help at the same time, then let's draw lots and decide." Li An immediately cut two notes on the public case, one with a pen to write a war character, and the other without writing.
After the two pieces of paper were folded, Ang Lee asked the two to go to the public case to arrest the castration. Jin Tongwu stepped forward first and picked up a lot and opened it, and Lei Zhaosheng also stepped forward to take a lot.
"Haha, Chongren is embarrassed, I can only blame you for your bad luck, I led the troops to fight Guangzhou." Jin Tongwu raised the note in his hand.
Lei Pilgrim shook his head: "Tongwu, accept your temperament!" It's just a Guangzhou, and it's showing off, putting what you can. Jin Tongwu was embarrassed when he said this, so he could only laugh twice and then retreat to the train.
"Siliang, grain and grass must be raised as soon as possible, this king will give you five days, and the army will go out after five days." Li An gave a strict order to Ma Siliang.
After formulating the battle plan, Li An ordered all the generals below to disperse, and the generals returned to the camp as soon as possible. In order to prevent chaos in the barracks, after the generals entered the city to discuss matters, the barracks were managed by the generals and leaders of each town.
After the Qianzong, guerrilla, and deputy commanders dispersed, only seven people were left in the hall, including Wu Sanxing, Jin Tongwu, Ma Siliang, Lei Zhaosheng, Ma Bao, Dao Muqi, Han Yong, and Jiang Guotai.
"Go to the second meeting." Li An walked to the second hall first, and everyone followed closely through the corridor into the second hall.
After all the people entered the second hall, Li An ordered the guards to close the door. "I wonder what else is going on with the king?" Jin Tongwu asked puzzled.
"What this king really wants to fight is not Guangzhou, but Kunming. It is not Shang Kexi who wants to be eliminated, but Wu Sangui. Then Ang Lee revealed his plan and inventory.
Or sent troops in two ways, all the way to attack Kunming, all the way to attack Guangzhou, and the plan of the suspicious troops made Wu Sangui conclude that the main direction of attack of the Ming army was Guangzhou. attracted Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses to gallop to Guangzhou, and in addition, Shang Kexi did not dare to move easily in Guangzhou.
The soldiers and horses led by Li An changed from a feint attack on Kunming to a main attack on Kunming; The other army led by Jin Tongwu changed from the main attack on Guangzhou to a feint attack on Guangzhou.
After the rapid capture of Kunming, Li An led his troops and horses to set up an ambush in the Nanpanshui area and ambushed Wu Sangui, who returned to the city of Kunming. Once Wu Sangui dares to return to Kunming, he will be told that there will be no return. If Wu Sangui dared not return to Kunming and had the courage to give up Yunnan, then Li An would lead the army to quickly recover the entire territory of Yunnan.
At present, Yunnan and Guizhou are both under the jurisdiction of Wu Sangui, and after Wu Sangui loses Yunnan, Guizhou will definitely be difficult to protect. After recovering Yunnan and Guizhou, you can go north to meet with Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng and other thirteen families, at that time, Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing will be connected together, the situation will be completely opened, the north can enter Shaanxi and Gansu, the east can conquer Huguang, and the south can capture the rich land of Liangguang.
"That's all the king's plan this time." Li Ang picked up the teacup from the table, drank a few sips of tea, and talked for a long time, his mouth was dry.
"There is a difficult point on this side, the difficulty is how to make Wu Sangui make up his mind to rush to the aid of Guangzhou, if he is cowered in Kunming City, what can our army do?" Wu Sanxing said a little worriedly.
"Yes, the difficulty of this strategy is how to make Wu Sangui rush to Guangzhou, although there is a suspicious plan laid by the King of Jin, but Wu Sangui has always been cautious as a thief, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not stick to Kunming City." Ray pilgrimage also thinks that the difficulty is here.
Ma Bao proposed at this time: "If Wu Sangui doesn't rush to Guangzhou, then he will fake the show and simply attack Guangzhou." When the last general was under Wu Sangui, he heard that Shang Kexi had a private tax in the private market in Guangdong, and the silver obtained per year was no less than millions, and now there is a saying that "the wealth of Pingnan is the best in the world". After the capture of Guangzhou, the problem of money and grain can be completely solved. ”
"It's feasible, just do what Sanbao said, if Wu Sangui doesn't rush to Guangzhou, then we will fight Guangzhou. Also, when you lead your troops to Guangzhou, you must plant more flags and fake it as the appearance of most of the main forces. Ang Lee approved Ma Bao's proposal.
Then he said: "All the soldiers and horses of more than 58,000 people, the commander of the military led 10,000 cavalry to feint to attack Guangzhou, 8,000 people to garrison Yuanjiang Mansion and Menggen Mansion, this king led 20,000 people to attack Kunming, and the remaining 20,000 people were guarded by the three provinces in the area of Guangnan Mansion." Wu Sangui went to the aid of Guangzhou, and the three provinces led troops to support the king in attacking Kunming, but he did not rush to Guangzhou, so the three provinces quickly marched to Guangzhou to support the unification of the army. ”
