Yang Longshan gushed endlessly, and there was only one main idea, that is, to look for opportunities head-on and defeat the main force of the Dzungars.

This is also in line with Ning Huanxiang's opinion, so in the process of Yang Longshan's narration, Ning Huanxiang affirmed a few words and added some views.

Zhu Jinghong naturally agreed with the two of them, because it is true that the Dzungar talent is the root of the problem.

The two of them reached an agreement, and Wang Ziteng knew that his idea was no longer possible, but he himself did not have much loss, because Yang Longshan's opinion was indeed reasonable.

As generals, they have only one purpose, that is, to win the battle for the emperor, and as long as they can win, they will be supported.

After deciding on the idea, Ning Huanxiang asked the foreign generals to leave, leaving only the guards and the army, Jingying, Dusi and Xingdusi to stay.

These people are really their own people, and the next step is to discuss specific combat plans, and only these people can participate in them.

Of course, it is only to participate, and generally speaking, generals at the level of defense are not qualified to speak at this time.

"The Dzungars are cunning and bent on entangled and confrontational with us, but they are always unwilling to fight a decisive battle with our army, and their intention is to drag us down......"

"They can afford it, but we may not, so we have to take the initiative to attack!"

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Ning Huanxiang continued: "I mean, all the cavalry units are gathered together, divided into two divisions to advance in turn, and support each other in the event of an attack......

His meaning is very clear, that is, to take the initiative to move forward and compress the strategic space of the Dzungars, so that they can force the other side to fight a decisive battle.

The plan sounds great, but there are all kinds of problems, and these are the areas to improve.

For example, the biggest problem is how to ensure the logistics of the army?

It is meaningless to get closer, and if you go farther, it will lengthen the supply line, and how to ensure the safety of the grain and grass line has become an important part of the discussion.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that there were the Jingying Infantry Army and the Gansu Dusi, plus the guards and pro-army to be responsible for the logistics, and the rest of the cavalry was all sent to the front.

Of course, this is a more general arrangement, and how it works will have to be broken down, but that's the next thing.

However, after hearing these discussions, the two commanders of the Jingying Infantry Army, as well as several people who guarded the pro-army, were very dissatisfied.

In particular, Jiang Qingsheng and others were sent to the northwest in order to test the tactics of the new army, and now they have been arranged to test the logistics department.

Don't stay on the second line, the so-called combat exploits are unlikely to be obtained, so you can only pick up the leftovers behind others.

"Governor, Your Excellency...... The lowly rank came by the emperor's order, one to quell the rebellion and the other to test the tactics of the new army, and now the Lord has placed us in the rear, so I am afraid that it will not be in line with the will of the Holy God! Jiang Qingsheng got up and said.

Jiang Qingsheng was also born in Dingguo, and although he has now been reduced to a first-class man, as the commander of the guard's army, he is still very confident in speaking.

Of course, he dared to question Ning Huanxiang directly, and the biggest confidence still came from Zhu Jinghong.

As the leader of the training of the North Fourth Guard, Zhu Jinghong poured too much hope into this new army, and even jumped into the lake to show his ambition in order to witness the killing of the North Fourth Guard.

Under such strong feelings, Jiang Qingsheng and several people can be sure that Zhu Jinghong will never sit idly by and watch the North Fourth Guard be treated coldly.

"Commander Jiang, Bendu is also acting according to orders, and everything is based on the overall situation of counterinsurgency!"

Ning Huanxiang's expression was cold, he knew that Jiang Qingsheng and others were relied on, and as the coach, he would never be coerced because of this.

In order to maintain his majesty, Ning Huanxiang's tone was extremely harsh.

Commanding the operation, the most taboo is to order many doors, and Ning Huanxiang wants to strictly put an end to this matter.

So even if Zhu Jinghong speaks in person, he will not scruple too much, and he understands the difference between public and private.

As the main force of the Beijing camp, he was arranged by Ning Huanxiang to protect the logistics, and the two commanders of the Beijing camp were also very aggrieved.

But now that Jiang Qingsheng was stunned, they could only hold back their words.

"Uh-huh......"

The voice from the scene directly made Ning Huanxiang nervous, and what he was most worried about still happened.

"Thirteenth Master, I don't know what to learn?" Ning Huanxiang asked with a smile.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was about to speak, Jiang Qingsheng and the others were relieved, and they only felt that they had forgotten to get rid of the logistics post.

"Governor Ning, I think your opinion is very right, the Dzungars are indeed a big trouble, and they should be defeated and defeated first, so that the situation in the northwest is naturally controllable!"

As soon as Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth, he agreed, whoever made Ning Huanxiang feel a lot more at ease, he was afraid that this lord would demolish his platform in public, and then he, the governor, would be swept away.

However, Zhu Jinghong changed his words and said: "It's just that I have a little shallow opinion, and I hope that Governor Ning will consider it!" ”

Realizing that Zhu Jinghong might have a different opinion, Ning Huanxiang suddenly became alert, only to see him smile and say: "The thirteenth master has an opinion, the minister should listen to it, and if it is helpful, he should adopt it!" ”

This is the other way around, if it's useless, it's nonsense, and whether it's useful or not is up to him Ning Huanxiang.

"Dzungaria is dominated by cavalry, but I don't think it...... Our army has to be resisted by cavalry! ”

If you don't use cavalry against cavalry, can you fight with infantry? And it's not whether you can win it, you can't even run......

Thinking of this, Ning Huanxiang had already decided in his heart that Zhu Jinghong's opinion was worthless, and he only needed to refute it.

"Thirteenth master, our army now has a lot of cavalry, if you don't resist it...... You can't go with an infantry army, can you? ”

"Isn't this a sacrifice of strengths and weaknesses, and self-abandoning martial arts!"

Although the cavalry of the Beijing camp only has one guard, most of the troops of the Tusi of the various leagues plus the troops of the Xingdu Division are cavalry, and they are not weaker than the Dzungars in terms of strength.

Therefore, using cavalry against cavalry is indeed an upright way to fight, and even Jiang Qingsheng and others can't directly refute it, so they can only use the so-called holy will to suppress Ning Huanxiang.

"Governor Ning will listen to me first!" Zhu Jinghong replied calmly.

He didn't follow the rules of procedure at all, normally he should answer Ning Huanxiang's question, and then he could continue.

Although Ning Huanxiang was dissatisfied with this, he was also helpless and said: "Thirteenth Master, please say ......"

"I want to fight, although the enemy has a high base and a deep ditch, and he who has to fight with me, he will be saved if he attacks him...... I'm afraid you know the truth better than I am! Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

Not to mention, this sentence is appropriately quoted, and it was Sun Tzu who put forward this theory, which was originally based on the strategy used to seek a breakthrough when the war between the two sides was deadlocked.

"Does Governor Ning know where the enemy must be saved?"

"Please also ask the Thirteenth Master to teach!" Ning Huanxiang was humble on the surface, but in fact he didn't think so.

"We are worried about the transfer of grain and grass, and the same is true of the Dzungar people, we rely on the Yumen Pass, and they rely on Hami City!"

"They don't dare to attack the Jade Gate Pass, but we can attack Hami City directly!"

As an important eastern town in Dzungaria, Hami City is indeed high and deep, and a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance are stored in it, and all Dzungar troops are supplied with this as the core.

Therefore, Hami City is indeed the place where Dzungaria must be saved.

"The Thirteenth Master knows that Hami City is nearly a thousand miles away from Yumen Pass......" Ning Huanxiang already wanted to laugh at this moment.

Running thousands of miles away to attack a fortified city like Hami, Ning Huanxiang admired Zhu Jinghong's imagination very much, normal people really would not have such outrageous ideas.

"Although it is thousands of miles away, if you march on foot, even if you travel forty miles a day, one month is always enough!"

"The army marched on pack horses, brought enough grain and grass for two months, and then roamed around with cavalry, but it was safe to rush to Hami ......."

Zhu Jinghong's opinion is simply contrary to Ning Huanxiang.

In the former, cavalry assists infantry, while in the latter infantry assists cavalry.

Objectively speaking, Zhu Jinghong's idea of crossing thousands of miles to attack the city did seem too outrageous, so Ning Huanxiang didn't have the heart to ask more questions at all.

"Thirteenth master, fighting a war is not an outing on horseback, going thousands of miles away to attack the city, our army is on an expedition, not to mention, the enemy's soldiers are enough to wait for work, how can our army quickly defeat the enemy?"

"And travel thousands of miles, it is difficult to supply grain and grass, once the army is in turmoil for a long time, it will be destroyed not far away......"

Speaking of this, Ning Huanxiang stood up and saluted: "Please also ask the Thirteenth Master to keep in mind the teachings of the Holy Lord, don't be willful!" ”

In order to prevent Zhu Jinghong from interfering, Ning Huanxiang could only come up with a killer idea.

"I'm just suggesting, Governor Ning doesn't have to think about it!" Zhu Jinghong made up for it, and then he didn't say much.

Zhu Jinghong was so knowledgeable that Ning Huanxiang was at ease again, so he continued to explain his views.

It can be heard that Ning Huanxiang's preparation is very sufficient, and the so-called use of cavalry to fight the main attack also contains various considerations, which still sounds very feasible.

After some talking, Ning Huanxiang's gaze swept to Bei Siwei and the others, and said solemnly: "Everyone...... This battle, as long as you participate in it, are all for the Ming Dynasty, and on the day of triumph, this governor will repay everyone for the merits! ”

"But if anyone has two hearts and prevaricates in carrying out the military order, the governor will also be severely punished!"

"Do you understand?"

These last few sentences are a warning to everyone, Ning Huanxiang is ready to kill people.

"Obey your lordship!" Everyone replied.

Next, there is a more specific operational deployment, who will be transferred to that position, and who will undertake what kind of tasks.

Everyone made military orders, and Zhu Jinghong did not speak from beginning to end.

On such an occasion, Ning Huanxiang wants to show his authority, he really doesn't need to touch him, just come down and continue to explain and persuade.

About half an hour later, all operational arrangements had been agreed, and the discussion had come to an end.

Everyone got up to leave, and Zhu Jinghong was about to leave, but Bi Ning Huanxiang stopped him.

"You go first, I have something to say to the Thirteenth Master!" Ning Huanxiang said to everyone.

So everyone left, and only Zhu Jinghong and Ning Huanxiang were left at the scene.

"Thirteenth master, those few of the North Four Guards may be unwilling, but the ministers are afraid that something will happen!"

All the other generals, even those in the Beijing camp, Ning Huanxiang was sure that he could hold it, after all, he had also been the chief military officer of the Beijing camp.

But he is the only one who lacks the resume of the guards and the army, and he Ning Huanxiang is not able to catch these close ministers of the Son of Heaven.

People are indeed ordered to fight, but now they are arranged on the second line, even if this lawsuit reaches the front of the emperor, the North Four Guards can have something to say.

Wanting people to obey these people, Ning Huanxiang thought of Zhu Jinghong, and he knew that this master could hold those people.

"The military order has been issued, what can they be reluctant to? Governor Ning is too worried! Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

If you can get your generals to obey by military orders alone, then it will not be difficult to command the troops.

"Thirteenth Master, if they are unwilling, it will always be useless to the battle situation, and the ministers must not ignore this matter!"

"If you miss the war because of this and fail to live up to the trust of the saint, the minister will die and will not be able to atone for his sins!"

Stopping and looking at Ning Huanxiang beside him, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but speak: "Okay, okay, if you have something to say, why bother going so far!" ”

Ning Huanxiang squeezed out a smile, and then said: "You have a lot of dealings with them, if you can persuade them...... The minister will be able to convince them! ”

Turning his head, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "That's not necessarily!" ”

Ning Huanxiang boasted: "With the prestige of the Thirteenth Master, how dare they make a mistake!" ”

"Then I...... Try? Zhu Jinghong gradually changed his tone.

"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!"

Even if this matter is discussed, Zhu Jinghong gains a little gratitude, although it is basically useless.

After separating from Ning Huanxiang, Zhu Jinghong returned to the camp tent, and saw that the pro-army and the generals of the Beijing camp were there, obviously waiting for Zhu Jinghong to come back.

When I thought of telling him, Zhu Jinghong was very happy in his heart, and offset some of the unhappiness during the discussion just now.

"See the Thirteenth Master!" Everyone came to Zhu Jinghong and saluted.

After motioning for everyone to get up, Zhu Jinghongfang asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Thirteenth Master, the ministers have something to say!"

"Go into the tent!"

Although it was July, it was already cold outside, so it was naturally much warmer in the tent.

After entering the account, Zhu Jinghong motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked people to make tea and entertain them.

"Thirteenth Master, you just said that it is really feasible to run thousands of miles?"

Zhu Jinghong replied: "Thousands of miles to run...... It is said to be a rush, but in fact, it can also be said to be a plan to lure the enemy! ”

"Think about it, if they come to attack, it will be difficult to make a contribution, and if their main army comes, we can fight a decisive battle in advance!"

"What do you think...... Does what I mean by that? ”

At least it wasn't completely unreasonable, so everyone nodded one after another, waiting for Zhu Jinghong to continue.

Zhu Jinghong continued: "If the cavalry is used to transport grain and grass, it is not difficult to bring two months of consumption, so the next key question is whether we can take Hami City down in the remaining month!" ”

"The four guards plus the two guards of the Beijing camp have at least 500 artillery pieces, and you have 20,000 or 30,000 shells...... It's enough to plow Hami again! ”

Tens of thousands of shells were smashed into Hami City, and everyone was shocked when they heard this, and finally they only sighed that their pattern was too small.

How did they know that this tactic had a well-known name in later generations, and it was called "Da Ze fried Lao Tzu".

"Even if twenty or thirty thousand is not enough, then bring more because the Ministry of Industry and the War Bureau are all working hard, and we don't lack this Laoshizi!"

Of course, there is no shortage of shells, the key is that this thing costs money, and Emperor Zhu Xianming is more willing to save money.

After he said this, the attack on Hami was even more interesting, which made everyone even more itchy.

If you can make meritorious contributions yourself, and if you make such great contributions, who will be willing to give help to others.

While everyone was thinking, Zhu Jinghong changed his words and said, "Okay...... These are all wishful thinking on my part, and it's not easy to do it this way, just listen to it! ”

"Now that Governor Ning has made up his mind, you should cooperate sincerely to realize the agreed battle strategy!"

"They are all serving the court and the saints, and no one can be separated from internal and external relatives, let alone resentful!"

In the last sentence, Zhu Jinghong was already extremely serious, and he did a good job of exhorting him.

But he knows that these grievances stem from their own interests, and as long as they can't make contributions, then this kind of thinking will not disappear.

And what Zhu Jinghong wants is not for them to be good babies, but to arouse emotions when necessary to achieve the purpose of being "forced" to be commanded.

So then, he just has to wait for his chance.

Once the tide of battle slows down, or even reverses, it's time for him to perform.

And Zhu Jinghong is confident that that day will come.

Even if he doesn't come, he has to let him come if he creates an opportunity, otherwise he will really come to see the fun.

As everyone expressed their attitudes one by one, Zhu Jinghong finally felt at ease, and then he asked everyone to leave, and these people had to go back to the headquarters to command the troops.
