"Xuan, the general army of Gyeonggi commanded Qin Erbao, and the commander of Henan Province commanded Lu Xiangsheng, and entered the account !!"

Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Erbao walked side by side and entered the hall in the roll call.

"The last general, Qin Erbao, meets the chief lord!"

"Chen Lu Xiangsheng greets the chief lord!"

After all, Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng hadn't seen Wang Qi for several months.

Since taking charge of the parliament and changing the world, Wang Qi has been busy with daily affairs, almost without touching the ground, even when he was in Beijing, Qin Erbao was not able to see Brother Qi often.

Recently, because of the war in Fengyang Mansion, Wang Qi went south from Beijing to Suzhou.

caused turmoil in the world, which allowed Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng to meet Wang Qi.

"I haven't seen my lord for many days, but today because of the sudden outbreak of war, I am annoyed that my lord is going south, and the minister is deeply afraid," Qin Erbao was a little apprehensive about worrying about Wang Qi's southward trip.

After all, he was in charge of the Liaodong army for nearly two years, and when he exterminated Jiannu, the war was unfavorable, and it was Wang Qi who went north to finally turn the tide and plough the court and sweep the holes; Now that Fengyang is rising again, there are nearly 100,000 mercenaries in Nanjing City, and Wang Qi is tired of going south.

As a retainer and a private servant, it really made Qin Erbao feel ashamed to work so the lord.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was kneeling on the side, was different - Wang Qi, who was now the regent and ruled the world, once again put on armor, scolded Fang Xuan, and stepped on the world, which really made Lu Xiangsheng's heart excited.

After all, for the world's famous generals, it is really a great blessing to be able to follow Wang Qi and observe how he uses troops and arranges his formations.

"Okay, get up, you two are also the chief soldiers in charge of one side, the commander is at the first level, kneeling on the ground like this, let the subordinate generals see it, what do you think?" Wang Qi leaned back on the circle chair, raised his eyes to look at the two people who were kneeling there in An Shun, waved his hand to let the two get up, and then ordered: "Let's watch the tea." ”

Since Wang Qi spoke, Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng naturally didn't dare to disobey, got up from the ground and lined up on both sides, each with half of their buttocks, and sat there cautiously.

"Let's talk about it, for this battle of Fengyang Mansion, what plans and plans do you have, and what you think about your heart, you can also talk about it," Wang Qi picked up the tea and took a sip: "Don't be restrained." ”

Free and easy?

Qin Erbao swallowed his saliva: In front of Wang Qi, who dares to be presumptuous now?

Together with a few people in the back house of adults, counting them, there is definitely no one hand in the world.

Even if he has been by Wang Qi's side for nearly twenty years, but now in the face of Wang Qi, who is more and more unfathomable and close to Yue Li, Qin Erbao is also a hundred spirits, and he does not dare to make a slight mistake.

The same is true of Lu Xiangsheng on the side.

"My lord," Qin Erbao slowly spoke, "The last general has some ideas. ”

"Tell me," put down the tea bowl in his hand, Wang Qi put his hands on his lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "100,000 against 20,000, I heard that in half a month, 50,000 soldiers will be used, that is to say, 150,000 against 20,000, what do you think?" As far as you can say. ”

"Whether it's 100,000 or 150,000, in fact, it makes no difference to my army," Qin Erbao arched his hand: "Our purpose is to deter Nanjing City and make its false emperor fearful, so I can leave half of my manpower, in Fengyang Mansion, and the rest of the people will bypass Fengyang and go to Chuzhou."

Hearing Qin Erbao's words, Wang Qi smiled even more in his eyes: "Go on." ”

"Chuzhou Mansion is only two hours away from Nanjing, if you take the waterway, it will take half an hour to arrive, and the army can reach the city of Nanjing between breaths," Qin Erbao subconsciously pressed the jade belt on his waist: "If the timing is right, attack the city at night, maybe you can take Nanjing City in one fell swoop, so that Zhu Youzhen can be captured!" ”

After listening to Qin Erbao's words, Wang Qi just commented: Yes, it was done with heart.

Then he turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng: "General Lu, what are your plans?" ”

"The city of Fengyang Mansion is high and deep, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there are two good defenders of Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu, to fight, 20,000 people are far from enough, and we don't have time to besiege the city," Lu Xiangsheng showed a touch of determination between his eyebrows: "As the general soldiers of Qin just said, send strange soldiers to take Nanjing City directly at night, and your subordinates think that it is feasible!" ”

After the two of them finished speaking, Wang Qi got up and stood on the map in front of the tent and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Your plans sound good, and they are the best way in the current situation."

Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng glanced at each other, both waiting for Wang Qi's next words.

"However, send troops to Chuzhou, I have another candidate," Wang Qi put his hands behind his back and called: "Lord Xiong, come in"

The big tent was opened, and Xiong Tingbi, who was dressed in military uniform, was brought in.

Xiong Tingbi?

Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew Xiong Tingbi.

When they were in Liaodong, both of them were Xiong Tingbi's subordinates.

"Xiaguan greets your lord," Xiong Tingbi bowed to Wang Qi, and then bowed to Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng.

"Xiong Tingbi took 5,000 soldiers and horses to Chuzhou, leaving more than 16,000 people, withdrew from Fengyang, and made a move to encircle Nanjing."

Wang Qi turned around, put aside the pen and ink on the table, and explained to a few people: "The city of Nanjing is strong, not heavy artillery, and the siege of multiple soldiers has to be broken, and according to Chuzhou, making a move to threaten Nanjing City can make its soldiers and horses be called by me!" ”

Coerced Chuzhou and encircled Nanjing

Several people gathered around the table, listening to Wang Qi's plan.

"And our actual goal," Wang Qi's finger tapped on the table, and then drew a circle: "It is to annihilate Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu's army when they are rushing between Fengyang Mansion and Nanjing City!" ”

After listening to Wang Qi's words, Qin Erbao's eyes were shocked, and they all had a sudden look.

Oh, yes

What's the use of occupying several towns?

There are only so many troops in his hands,

It can only be temporarily captured, but not relied on, even if a few important towns are captured, after the arrival of the army in Nanjing, they can only abandon the city.

After all, it's too close to the city of Nanjing.

The Nanjing government could send troops to take it back at any time.

However, to annihilate the enemy's living force is to really weaken its strength.

Nowadays, there are only so many forces that Nanjing City can mobilize, and 150,000 people are already all the troops in the southern provinces in a short period of time, and it is a battle that blocks the prestige of its false emperor.

If most of them can be annihilated, the city of Nanjing will be defeated without a fight!

"Chief Lord, this move simply makes Xiong sigh, it's hard to look at his back, even if Xiong wants to go for three days and three nights, it is difficult to use soldiers to get to this point! Admire, admire!! Weichen admires it to the !! Xiong Tingbi patted his hand on the table, and the look of deep shock made Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Erbao on the side a little unbearable.

Xiong Tingbi looked real this time, and he was going to hug Wang Qi's thigh.

The dignified former governor of Liaodong, the governor of a provincial military affairs officer, knelt and licked Wang Qi like this, if it spread, it would make countless people in Nanjing City drop their jaws, right?

However, Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng also understand that in this world, people who want to hug Wang Qi's thigh are like carp crossing the river, even if there is no Xiong Tingbi, others will only be more humble than Xiong Tingbi.

"The key now is," Wang Qi looked at Xiong Tingbi: "Lord Xiong, you quickly captured Chuzhou with lightning speed, and then made every effort to build all kinds of siege equipment, extensively requisitioned all kinds of boats, and created an illusion of attacking Nanjing City!" ”

"And the rest of the more than 10,000 people, after lifting the siege of Fengyang, quickly rushed to attack it, and went in the direction of Langya Mountain" Wang Qi pressed his palm on the map, his lips and teeth opened and closed, and the murderous aura almost overflowed his eyes: "I want to divide and annihilate the 100,000 people guarding Fengyang Mansion!" Exterminate the generation in Langya Mountain and Chuzhou Mansion! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Not long after, after the order was completed, Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng, and Xiong Tingbi scattered.

Wang Qi still stood in front of the map, pondering for a long time.

After a short time, the big tent was lifted from the outside, and the waiter entered with a lunch box: "My lord, let's eat something first." ”

Wang Qi turned his head and looked at the comer, after years of not seeing, the little pothos girl has grown into a beautiful and delicious peach.

I think that at the beginning, when I was in Horqin, the pothos was still so green, and now I am familiar with people.

After all, as Hai Lanzhu's dowry girl, when the main mother is inconvenient, the green pothos is to replace the main mother and serve the master.

So the pothos is actually Wang Qi's ban.

This time, Luluo was assigned by Hai Lanzhu to accompany Wang Qi to the south and take care of Wang Qi's daily life in the army.

After all, as the chief figure of the regency of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Lanzhu is not at ease with other people's daily life - moreover, Pothos is Hai Lanzhu's person, and supporting a personal maid is much more reliable than others, right?

"Just put it down, I'll eat it later," Wang Qi retracted his gaze and looked at the map again.

"Master, I'll help you rub your shoulders," Pothos stepped forward and gave a slight blessing.

"You go and rest," Wang Qi is not obsessed with women, although there are nearly 100 maids and maids hired in the house, most of them are beautiful, but Wang Qi only put the pothos in the room, and the rest are all turned away.

As a ruler of a country, Wang Qi asked himself, if there is a fire in the backyard, he will also be nerve-wracking.

Now there are Hailanzhu and pothos, and there will be Princess Ningde in a short time, so in Wang Qi's opinion, these women are enough.

Hearing Wang Qi's command, a trace of loss appeared in the green pothos eyes, and he pursed his lips, so he could only bow his head and say yes, and then retreated.

As the dowry maid of the housewife, the identity of the green pothos is not noble, but she has been fortunate by Wang Qi several times, but her stomach has not moved at all, which makes this little maid whose heart is higher than the sky a little anxious.

Mother is more precious than son, in the most powerful palace of the Ming Dynasty, this sentence is still an iron law, even if Wang Qi doesn't care, but as long as he has a child, he can get rid of the identity of a maid and become the identity of the master of the house.

And when his children grow up, they may be able to rely on their father's power to become one of the top nobles in the Ming Dynasty!

"These days. There are no other women around the owner, I want to take advantage of the opportunity! Luluo secretly made up her mind, no matter what, she would give birth to a son and a half daughter for Wang Qi.

In the tent, Wang Qi sat back on the chair, gently rubbed his eyebrows, and opened the food box casually, the meals in it were sumptuous, and they were all what he liked to eat.

In any case, the pothos has a heart.

How could Wang Qi not know the mind of a little maid?

But now that the war has begun, Wang Qi doesn't want to be distracted!

Fengyang Mansion, Governor's Yamen.

Wu Xiang, as the new governor of Fengyang, is discussing with the Yousi Office in the palace at the moment about the enemy's strategy.

As a governor-general, he has a lot of people in the prefect and the state and county yamen, but there are only a few people who can use them.

Therefore, the current Wu Xiang, looking at the sweaty subordinates in front of the ya, is also full of gloom.

"How much food is there in Fengyang Mansion?" Wu Xiang's cold eyes swept over everyone and took the lead in speaking.

"Back to your lordship," Huang Keli, the former governor and current prefect, replied respectfully: "Because it was just handed over last month, there are still 2,000 stones of grain in the grain depot, more than 200,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and more than 73,000 soldiers and horses."

"All 20,000 people went to the city!" Wu Xiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the governor and county garrison of a province on the side: "Tell them that as long as they succeed in defending for a month, each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!" What the official said! ”

Wu Xiang didn't believe it, even if Wang Qi was there in person, under the huge gap in numbers, he would stick to the city, and in a month, he Wang Qi would really be able to break the city?

Even if it's a god, it's impossible!

"Lord Zuo," Wu Xiang looked at Zuo Liangyu, the chief military officer who had taken the lead in escaping from the last time when the fire burned the lake, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and his eyes were full of temptation: "You will go to the city in person this time!" How is it? ”

"The Last General Commands !!"

Zuo Liangyu Huo Ran got up, and the armor on his body was rattling: "This time, according to the fortified city, Zuo will definitely live up to the trust of the Lord and the emperor!! ”

"I hope so!" Wu Xiang stroked his beard, his eyes flashing.

"Lord Governor!" Wu Sangui, who was sitting on the side, couldn't hold it back, got up and took the order: "Wu Sangui is willing to be the deputy general to assist Lord Zuo Liangyu in defending the city!" ”

Wu Sangui made a great contribution last time in the fire burning lake, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and he suppressed the rebellion, which can be regarded as a rare credit that can be taken out to talk about in the first battle of the fire burning lake.

This time, Wu Xiang brought his son to the front line, which was intentionally promoted, hoping that Wu Sangui could quickly stand out from the army by participating in the war and become a general-level general on the defending side.

In this way, his Wu father and son are truly important in the Nanjing court, and no one dares to despise them.

"Good!" Wu Xiang slapped the case and shouted: "This marshal appointed you as the deputy chief soldier of Fengyang Mansion!" Assist in defending the city, if there is anyone who retreats from the battle, you can cut it with this sword! ”

Wu Xiang said that he gave Wu Sangui the sword of Shang Fang that was enshrined on the desk: "If you are below the third grade, you can cut it immediately!! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of Qi Qiran, except for Wu Xiang, the hall was full of officials below the third grade!

Even Zuo Liangyu's face changed, and he was a little pale.

"Report !!"

At this moment, a report came from outside the palace.

"What?" Wu Xiang got up, frowned and asked, "But the enemy is attacking in a big way?" ”

"My lord, I have to report the horse, Wang Qi took a group of people and others to go to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum and worship!"

"What?" Wu Xiang frowned, the war is about to start, Wang Qi doesn't go to prepare the army and horses, what is he doing in the suburbs of Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum?

At this time, there is still a leisurely worship?

Is it a slap in the face of the Nanjing court?

"My lord, take this opportunity to lead the troops to capture Wang Qi!" Zuo Liangyu was eager to make meritorious service and immediately asked for battle.

"No, no, no," Wu Xiang, who has always been cautious in using soldiers, shook his head, don't worry, let's observe first!
