After taking a turn in the camp and making sure that Zhenwei Zhongwei was well prepared, Zhu Jinghong and Fan Changchun sat up.

"How do you think this battle should be fought?"

As for the specific command of the operation, Zhu Jinghong is very self-aware, so he asked Fan Changchun these professionals.

"The enemy's forces are large and have been assembled, but our army now has no unified command, and it is extremely difficult to win in a head-on battle!" Fan Changchun told the truth directly.

"If you want to win, you have to go off the rails!"

When he learned that Ning Huanxiang had been killed and the army was forced to begin to shrink, Fan Changchun and his deputies were thinking about this problem.

And one afternoon is enough time for them to come up with a "home remedy".

"Tell me about it!" Zhu Jinghong asked with a serious expression.

"The enemy's strength is large, but its weakness is also obvious, they quickly assemble and set off, they will definitely not be able to bring too much food and grass!"

"And it is rapidly approaching to the south, and its grain route has been extended, so it ......"

At this time, Zhu Jinghong interjected: "So the key is to cut off their food routes, so that they are very likely to retreat without a fight!" ”

"Exactly!" Fan Changchun replied.

Cutting off the enemy's food routes and causing them to retreat is a tactic that is endlessly recorded in the history books.

It's a cliché, but it's also very effective, so it's used over and over again.

Of course, the difficulty of achieving the goal of attacking the grain route is obvious.

According to Fan Changchun, for example, how to find the Dzungar grain convoy in the vast Gobi, how not to be discovered by the enemy scouts in the process, and how to defeat the heavy grain convoy......

There are many difficulties that can be listed, and if you want to complete such a task, you have to be in the right place at the right time.

"What do you think...... How many men should be sent to attack the enemy's grain routes? Zhu Jinghong asked in a low voice.

Fan Changchun replied: "At least 1,000 cavalry, at this time, the minister asked several generals, and they all asked for a war wish...... Among them, especially the left capital general Shi Chong! ”

Among the four kings and eight princes, Shi Chong is considered to be the older group, and he is also the fastest among them.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but think of those people in the Jia family, compared to Shi Chong, these people are simply ...... It's just not worth comparing to people.

"If he's so determined, let him go...... He's always thought things through, and he has a better chance of getting it done! ”

"Thirteenth Master, do you really want to send someone to attack the grain road?" Fan Changchun hesitated.

Such a risky move is of course happy if it succeeds, but once it fails...... Not to mention the consequences of ruining the overall situation, only Shi Chong's death and Fan Changchun offended the Shi family to death.

"Can there be any fake? Send Shi Chong to go, without the more than 1,000 people under his command, it will have little impact on the overall situation of the front line! ”

"But ......"

"When is this, you are still mother-in-law, hurry up and arrange things, and tomorrow we will discuss how to meet the enemy army!"

Fan Changchun looked at the acquaintances and servants present, hoping that they could stand up and say a few words, but these people were all like wood at the moment.

Seeing that Fan Changchun was still hesitating, Zhu Jinghong immediately said: "Okay, I'm in charge of this matter, and I'll take care of it if something happens, go and call Shi Chong over now!" ”

The words have been said to this, Fan Changchun did not hesitate, and immediately ordered someone to call Shi Chong.

"Send someone to pass on my words again, and let the Qinghai Xingdu Division and the tribal armies come closer as soon as possible!"

"Spread my word again, tomorrow at noon, the generals of all departments will come here to discuss the strategy against the enemy!"

Zhu Jinghong issued two orders in a row, which made Fan Changchun and the others feel unruly, but they couldn't care so much at this time.

At present, the most important thing is to gather the morale of the army and form a unified command as soon as possible, otherwise a major rout is inevitable.

"Yes!"

After ordering this, seeing that Fan Changchun and the others were tired, Zhu Jinghong's tone became soft and said: "There is still a discussion tomorrow, you all go back and rest!" ”

"Yes!"

After a day of tossing and turning, his spirit was at a high level of tension, and he didn't sleep until midnight, Fan Changchun and the others were indeed extremely tired now.

There was no point in continuing to stay, and Fan Changchun and the others left.

Not long after they left, Shi Chong had already arrived on horseback, and after approaching Zhu Jinghong, he dismounted and walked.

"See the Thirteenth Master!"

Raising his hand to signal Shi Chong to get up, by the faint light of the fire, Zhu Jinghong looked at him and said, "You ten thousand commanders said that you took the initiative to ask Ying to attack the enemy's grain road!" ”

Bowing down and clenching his fists, Shi Chong replied: "Otherwise, you can't defeat the enemy!" ”

"Going deep behind enemy lines, in the vast Gobi, it can be described as nine deaths and one life, you are not afraid of never returning!" Zhu Jinghong asked very seriously.

"Thirteenth Master, the Shi family has suffered from the grace of the Holy Lord, and now it is time to serve the country, how can they be afraid of danger and retreat!" Shi Chong's gaze was resolute.

Zhu Jinghong nodded, looked at Shi Chong a little higher, and secretly praised this person for indeed having the legacy of his ancestors.

"Your commander Wan was afraid that something would happen to you, and I said that I would take care of this matter, so he agreed to let you detour behind enemy lines!"

When Shi Chong was about to speak, Zhu Jinghong had already walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have you really thought about it?" ”

"I want to go!" Shi Chong knelt on one knee.

Stretching out his hand to help him up, Zhu Jinghong said solemnly: "You are a general, since you are so sharp, I won't stop you......"

"Xie Thirteen Master is complete!"

"Be sure to come back safely!" Zhu Jinghong's tone was serious.

Feeling Zhu Jinghong's concern, Shi Chong bowed deeply again and replied, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

So Shi Chong also left, and tonight he will lead the team to transfer and sneak behind enemy lines in the night.

After Shi Chong left, the guards had set up their tents, allowing Zhu Jinghong to rest for a while.

Zhu Jinghong has been in a hurry all day, even if his physical fitness is excellent, he is somewhat unbearable now.

He went into the tent and rested, but his orders were spread around the Gobi and reached the front.

After Zhu Jinghong left the Governor's Office, Yang Longshan also returned to his headquarters, and the sky was almost dawn at this time.

And he slept for less than half an hour, and then received a message from Zhenwei Zhongwei, Zhu Jinghong asked the organization army to lean in the northeast direction, and took the generals over to discuss the matter at noon today.

"With such an arrangement, it seems that this war is inevitable!" Yang Longshan sighed.

Originally, he had the opportunity to preside over the battle, but he refused because of his timidity.

But Yang Longshan does not regret it, he is very clear about his strength, if he takes over this mess in the northwest, there is an eighty percent chance of messing up.

"The Thirteenth Master is the son of the Holy Lord, no one can beat the Holy Lord, it is not bad for him to command, at least the defeat of the board is lighter!"

That's right, Yang Longshan saw it very clearly, this battle was commanded by Zhu Jinghong, not something that everyone discussed together.

"Pass the order, the army will continue to move northeast, as close as possible to Zhenwei Zhongwei!"

To participate in the decisive battle, they must rush to the vicinity of Zhenwei Zhongwei today, so that they can unify the formation.

Time is pressing, how dare Yang Longshan delay.

And his choice was exactly the same as Zhou Quanhui on the northern front, who also let the army continue to move closer to the south after receiving the order.

…………

On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Jinghong woke up from the tent, and he was woken up by the movement outside.

The soldiers who had been repairing all night were eating breakfast and preparing for battle at the same time, and it was inevitable that they would make a sound.

After getting up, Zhu Jinghong did not rush out, but picked up his pen and began to write a letter.

It was only now that he remembered that he should write a letter to the old man to explain a little about what was happening at the front line, so as to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible.

Since he wants to grasp the military power, it is extremely normal for him to be misunderstood and even suspicious by the emperor.

Even if the old man doesn't doubt me, the prince and the sixth child will be jealous of me, and the next days will not be easy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh, now that he has embarked on this road of no return, he can only go forward.

After sealing the letter, Zhu Jinghong handed it over to the accompanying guards, who would hand over the letter to the messenger who was 800 miles away.

After doing this, Zhu Jinghong walked out of the military tent, and most of the soldiers around him were eating at this time.

I saw him walking towards one of the circles, and when these people found that it was him approaching, they immediately put down the food in their hands and hurriedly saluted Zhu Jinghong, the thirteenth master.

"See the prince!"

After motioning for everyone to get up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What did you eat?" ”

There were about 30 soldiers present, and the leader of the team was a team leader, and he stood up when he heard the question.

"Back to the prince, two dough cakes per person in the morning, plus a beef jerky!"

When this person answered, Zhu Jinghong was also carefully observing, and there were still unfinished bread and jerky at the scene.

In this day and age, it is actually incredible that soldiers can eat so luxuriously.

Of course, it costs money to do this, and it is no wonder that the emperor feels poor at any time, because there are too many places for the court to spend money.

Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile: "I was in a hurry and didn't bring food and drink, can I borrow a meal from you!" ”

Hearing this, before the team could speak, his attendants began to speak, reminding him that he had actually brought his meal.

That's right, even if he is on the front line, Zhu Jinghong's "logistics" support is just as superior.

At first, the team thought he had misheard, and then he felt very nervous.

The main thing is that he has never encountered this kind of thing, so he doesn't know how to deal with it at this time.

"Lord Wang...... We're ......."

Seeing his crampedness, Zhu Jinghong spoke: "Are you still reluctant?"

"How dare the villain!" The team is kneeling down again.

"Get up!" While talking, Zhu Jinghong walked into the crowd by himself, and then picked up a piece of bread.

"Sit all down, don't be so restrained!" Zhu Jinghong sat down on a stone by himself.

He was as amiable as possible, but his status as a prince still brought great pressure to everyone.

Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even the children of top martial artists like Shi Chong can't be easy in front of Zhu Jinghong.

"The prince told you to sit, so don't all stand!" The guard Gao Hong said.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was all seated, although everyone still felt terrified, they all sat back in place one after another.

While eating the cake, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Eat these in the morning, what do you eat at noon?" ”

This was the first question asked by Zhu Jinghong, which made everyone at the scene very confused, but the team led by Zheng still replied honestly.

Next, Zhu Jinghong asked them what they wanted to eat, and this question was undoubtedly even more strange.

Fortunately, his status is ridiculously high, and he is a bit legendary, so everyone does not regard him as a "stupid", but feels that he is a little unpredictable and profound.

Under Zhu Jinghong's "homely" problem, a group of soldiers gradually relaxed, which allowed him to understand their truest mentality.

Although Ning Huanxiang's death had a great impact on the morale of the army, these cavalry in the Beijing camp did not lose their fighting spirit, on the contrary, the grievances in their hearts made Zhu Jinghong feel that they could be used.

When Zhu Jinghong got along happily with everyone and watched these people show their martial arts by the way, Gao Hong reminded him beside him: "Lord Wang, Commander Wan has made them come!" ”

Zhu Jinghong's eyes swept over, and sure enough, he saw that in addition to Fan Changchun, Yang Longshan and Zhou Quanhui had arrived.

He chatted here, in addition to understanding the morale of the army, in fact, it was also to wait for this group of people to arrive.

So now, it's time for him to leave.

"Wang Chengfu, this king remembers your words, as long as you can cut off thirty heads, this king will personally set up wine to celebrate with you!"

Personally beheaded thirty levels, this is a very unnatural record, but this Wang Chengfu boasted of Haikou.

But Wang Chengfu's martial arts just now made Zhu Jinghong believe that this person has this ability, provided that he can survive the next battle.

Therefore, Zhu Jinghong said the last sentence, which is actually a wish for Wang Chengfu.

"See the Thirteenth Master!"

After Fan Changchun and the others approached, they saluted Zhu Jinghong.

After motioning for them to get up, Zhu Jinghong pointed to the high hillside and said, "Let's go up and talk!" ”

"Yes!"

So more than a dozen generals in this group followed Zhu Jinghong to the hillside.

It has a better view, and it is a great place to hear from outsiders.

Looking at Zhu Jinghong's departing back, Wang Chengfu looked around and asked, "What do you say...... Will I be able to eat the banquet of the prince of Xiang? ”

"My lord, thirty heads, this is not easy......

"What nonsense, with our team's ability, thirty is not a matter of raising your hand!"

Wang Chengfu is a famous team, and there are honest people who tell the truth under him, so naturally he is indispensable to slap his head on the back.

When Zhu Jinghong was there, these people were like wood, and as soon as he left, everyone regained their "humanity".

Everyone here was talking and laughing while eating, and Zhu Jinghong and the others had already reached the high slope, and they could already overlook the camp below.

"Sit down!"

At the scene, the guards have set up chairs "Maza", which is not unusual at the moment.

The setting of the chairs is also very interesting, Zhu Jinghong is undoubtedly the main seat, and the rest of the people are arranged according to their official ranks.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Jinghong asked them to talk about the situation of the men under his command first, so that he officially exercised the command of the front.

After listening to everyone's reply, Zhu Jinghongfang said: "Everyone...... Although the Dzungars are menacing this time, there is no need to be afraid of them! “

"As long as we gather the army, not to mention whether we can beat them, at least we have the strength to protect ourselves!"

Although Zhu Jinghong's words were a little pessimistic, the generals present breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that this master would be young and frivolous, and he would forcibly confront the Dzungars.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Jinghong then asked: "Everyone, if our army all retreats, can we get rid of the Dzungar army?" ”

If you can't win, run away, this is a very simple choice, Zhu Jinghong has no face.

Zhu Jinghong's voice fell, and he heard Yang Longshan speak: "Lord, this matter is not very feasible...... On the other side of the saint, I'm afraid I won't agree! ”

"The intention of the Holy Lord is to hit Dzungaria hard within this year, the previous year the war situation was anxious and there was no progress, and now there is a slight advance and if you do not advance and retreat, the Holy Lord will definitely be condemned......"

This is the biggest pressure on the generals, and Ning Huanxiang has the greatest pressure, so he was too cautious, and too much stability caused the situation to be anxious and difficult to make progress.

Now that Ning Huanxiang is dead, Yang Longshan and other generals will face the emperor's anger, so they will oppose retreating.

This is actually a kind of sadness, the general should only be in charge of fighting and making Youku according to the existing conditions

"Now that the ministries are closed, how should this battle be fought, do you have a plan?"
