0601, Prelude to the Great War
"Lord Wang, Li Laiheng has found out the news that the whole army of Lord Kong Youde of Gongshun has attacked Nanzhang, and he has left Yicheng to go north this morning, less than twenty miles away from the east gate of Xiangyang City. It seems that it should be preparing to attack Xiangyang City secretly, so that Lord Kong Youde will be embarrassed, so as to plan the defensive operation of Nanzhang County!"
Azig was completely indifferent to the latest news of the enemy situation reported by the Chinese army flag officer, and instead asked two seemingly unrelated questions: "Is the white flag of Jin Guangzu's Han army in place?" Where is the Mongolian blue flag of Darhan?"
The flag officer bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Jin Guangzu led his troops to cross the Han River last night on the third watch, and Lord Durhan led his troops to dispatch on the fourth watch last night, and there is no new news yet. β
Azig waved his hand and said very lazily: "Go down and order the Chinese army to prepare, this king will cross the Han River and enter Xiangyang City at sunset." β
The flag officer was taken aback: "Li Laiheng is not good, Xiangyang City is destined to have a fierce battle today." The prince is a golden body, and he shoulders the weight of aspects, so why bother to be in danger?"
Waving his hand again, Azig had already leaned back on the Taishi's chair and closed his eyes slightly, without saying half a word.
It was not to pretend to be profound, because everything was in his own calculations, and Azig did not think it was necessary to continue to explain to the minions below.
Li Laiheng really arrived as scheduled, which was expected. Because the news of Kong Youde's army was deliberately leaked out according to the established plan.
Looking at the back of the flag officer leaving, Azig actually sighed: "Those who can't hold their breath will suffer in the end." It's a pity that Li Laiheng is young and vigorous after all, although he is brave enough, he still doesn't understand this truth. "
After lunch, Azig had nothing to do but walked his horse in the courtyard.
Looking at the west, the hurried figure of the flag officer finally reappeared: "Lord Wang_-"
Azig stroked the horse's neck and directly interrupted the flag officer's words: "Was Li Laiheng killed, or was he captured alive?"
The flag officer finally took a breath: "Lord Wang, he was neither killed nor caught, Li Laiheng escaped." β
Azig Huoran turned around: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The flag officer was frightened: "Lord Wang, there is an urgent battle report from Xiangyang City, Li Laiheng has fled, and Lord Jin Guangzu is leading his troops to pursue." β
Azig threw the reins and suddenly roared: "Han dogs are all a bunch of waste! Kong Youde is a waste, and Jin Guangzu is still like this!"
This was not a good word, and the flag officer stood there with his head down, not daring to move.
Taking a long breath, finally temporarily curbing the anger in his heart, Azig said in the most peaceful tone possible: "Tell this king carefully, what happened outside Xiangyang City, how could Li Laiheng escape?"
"Lord Wang, Li Laiheng led 3,000 cavalry to come, and Lord Jin Guangzu ambushed 8,000 elite soldiers to surround it according to the plan, and they were all under control. Unexpectedly, Hao Shaoqi's reinforcements came too quickly, and there was a young general among them, and an iron spear was invincible. As a result, the encirclement was torn open, and Li Laiheng escaped. β
Those who are proficient in battle formations know that whenever an opponent with a gun appears, it must not be taken lightly, because marksmanship is easy to learn and difficult to master.
If you want to practice marksmanship well, you not only need talent, but also need to be taught by famous teachers, and it takes a long time to hone it.
"When did a young general with a gun come out of the thief army?" Azig couldn't help but gasp, "What's that guy's name?"
"Because of the urgency of the incident and the enemy's desperate escape, the two sides did not have time to report their names, and they have not yet figured out the origin of each other. β
Azig spun back and forth twice, still not seeming to figure out who the famous general with the gun was, so he could only shake his head: "That's it." After passing the order, Jin Guangzu must pursue with all his strength and not give the enemy a chance to breathe. The Chinese army immediately crossed the Han River as originally planned and entered the city of Xiangyang tonight. β
After continuing to turn around the same place twice, and seeing that the flag officer had not left, Azig was a little angry: "Are you okay?"
"Lord Wang, although Li Laiheng, who invaded Xiangyang City, escaped by luck, Lord Kong Youde won a great victory in Nanzhang County. β
"Oh?" Azig's face finally improved a lot: "How is the situation in Nanzhang County?"
"Lord Wang, I just received a battle report, Lord Kong Youde has captured Nanzhang County, and is going all out to pursue and suppress the remnants of the enemy. β
Azig's brows furrowed again: "Chase down the remnants of the enemy, where is the enemy fleeing?"
"The enemy fled south. The battle report said that Bai Wenxuan led his troops to flee first, and Yuan Zongdi was responsible for breaking the rear. Lord Kong Youde personally led the main force to pursue, and had pursued eighty miles, successively conquering Taojiazhai and Tangma Village, where the enemy had temporarily settled, and was marching to Qinglongzhai fifty miles to the south. Master Kong Youde hopes that the prince will go to Xiangyang City to take command and listen to the good news ahead. β
Li Laiheng, Hao Shaoqi, Bai Wenxuan, Yuan Zongdi and others lost battles in Xiangyang City and Nanzhang County on the same day, this is not accidental, there are naturally deep-seated reasons in it.
Wuchang, Jiangxia, Jiujiang, and Nanchang in the south of the Yangtze River are in danger, and Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan can't wait to fly across the river overnight.
Because Jiangnan is his own lair, once the enemy penetrates deep into the hinterland, it will shake the foundation of Xiong Chu's "Great Ming Kingdom".
However, it was not an easy task to get the main force to cross the river and move south. If you are not careful, you will turn a voluntary retreat into a huge disaster.
It is conceivable that if the tail cannot be cut off, and the tail is chased to the edge of the river by Azig, Kong Youde and others, and then one and a half crossings to attack it, the broken troops will be pressed by the enemy's cavalry on the riverside because they have no time to get on the boat, and the final outcome must be the annihilation of the whole army.
Those who make good use of their troops will be adept at organizing retreats.
Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan rushed from Jiangling City to Chengtianfu on the front line, and then rushed to Yingcheng, completely moving in the line of fire, which can be said to be taking a huge risk.
In case of leakage, the enemy will definitely abandon the goal and concentrate all his forces to take out Xiong Chu first.
Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan are willing to take risks, but in fact, there is only one purpose: they must find a way to retreat safely.
Kong Youde suffered two defeats in a row, and Nanyang was very passive.
Once Nanyang is not guaranteed, the hinterland of the Central Plains will open its doors, and all the things that have been done in the past will come to naught.
Azig was eager to make a meritorious service, so he couldn't wait to rush to Fancheng. In order to reverse the decline as much as possible, various measures are naturally a little impatient.
Xiong Chu is a killer, and Miao Sanguan is good at Qi Zheng change. They are all good at seizing opportunities, and this time is no exception.
"Gao Niangniang, that's the specific situation. Azig led the army south, and the best route was to deploy troops along both sides of the Han River. In this way, Yicheng, Chengtianfu, Dangyang, Jingmen, Suizhou, and Jiangling cannot be defended. As for the county seat of Nanzhang, it is completely an isolated city, in a place of death. β
In the second meeting with Mrs. Gao, Miao Sanguan did not talk nonsense, directly spread out the map, explained the situation of the enemy and us, and emphasized the possible strategy of Azig to take it, as well as the crisis faced by the remnants of the Dashun army.
After two days of rest, Mrs. Gao looked even more elegant and extraordinary: "Things have been seen clearly, and they are clear at a glance. With Prime Minister Miao's superb wisdom, there must be Chen Ping's plan in his heart, and then the plan will be settled?"
"Gao Niangniang has an overreputation. Miao Sanguan shook his head: "How can Weichen come up with a good plan? β
Mrs. Gao smiled slightly: "I am willing to hear Gao's theory, and I hope to give advice." β
Miao Sanguan touched his chin and smiled: "Thirty-six plans, go up!"
"Sure enough!" Mrs. Gao was not joking, but serious: "In the current situation, the Dashun army is already physically and mentally exhausted, and the army's spirit is unstable. Go, of course, is the best option. But walking is not the goal, first of all, we must figure out why we are going, and secondly, we must determine where we are going?
Xiong Chu, who had not spoken, couldn't help but secretly admire: the name of the person, the shadow of the tree. Mrs. Gao is not easy to match, and every sentence is based on retreat. Don't lose the heroine among the women, the heroine.
Miao Sanguan was not affected, of course he would not show his tone, so he pushed 625: "Our army's attention is on the south of the Yangtze River, and crossing the river to the north is just to see that everyone is from the same source, and there is a common enemy of the Manchu Tartars, so we will help." As for where the Dashun Army goes, it still needs Gao Niangniang's dictatorship, and Miao really can't borrow it to raise money. β
This is a sensitive topic at stake, Miao Sanguan did not let go, the owner Xiong Chu never squeaked, and Mrs. Gao also fell into contemplation for a while.
Walking, where is the end?
Jiangbei is full of wolf smoke, and there is no suitable place to settle down.
If you can't find a place to stay, you won't have a chance to recover after a big defeat, and it will be impossible to make a comeback.
At present, the place that has not suffered from the war is the land of fishing and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is the territory of Xiong Chu.
Thinking of the four words of Dongshan again, Mrs. Gao subconsciously looked up at the bear prince on the main seat.
As if he was out of the matter, the bear prince was actually bowing his head and playing with a short sword.
Hongyun short sword, this is the love token given to Prince Xiong by Concubine Wen Yuan Liqing back then, and it is also one of the killings of Prince Xiong to save his life, and the high-level of Xiong Jiajun understands.
Miao Sanguan understood the origin of the short sword in Xiong Chu's hand, but Mrs. Gao didn't know it.
"Gao Niangniang, this short sword has a great origin, it seems that our emperor has remembered the ladies who are far away in Guilin Mansion. β
Speaking of which, Miao Sanguan actually put aside the topic and began to add fuel and vinegar to tell the twists and turns between Xiong Chu and Yuan Liqing.
The speaker is intentional, of course Miao Sanguan will not go off topic casually, but just use the topic to play.
The listener has a heart, and Mrs. Gao knows the elegance when she hears the song, and she understands that there must be a trade-off in front of her, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.
"The whereabouts of Emperor Dashun are unknown, and the Dashun Dynasty actually no longer exists. β
Mrs. Gao said with some struggle, and tears appeared in her eyes for the first time: "There are two culprits who subverted the Great Shun Dynasty: one is Wu Sangui who has forgotten his sect, and the other is the Manchu Tartar. As long as it is to fight these two enemies, the Dashun army can immediately give up its original identity and accept the reorganization. β
"Gao Niangniang's words are wrong!" Xiong Chu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "Prime Minister Miao does not mean that he must incorporate the brother troops, but that he hopes to straighten out the command relationship. Although the Manchu Tartars did not rise for a long time, they have been growing up in various conquests. Especially after destroying Yuanmeng, he reached the peak, so he dared to wave his army into the customs. β
"If you want to confront the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty head-on, and be able to win the battle, you must form more elite troops. At present, the troops in Jiangbei are not subordinate to each other, and once a full-scale war breaks out, they will not be able to coordinate with each other, and defeat can be predicted. was already doomed to the end of the war, and Prime Minister Miao naturally did not dare to speak in vain. β
Speaking of this, it stopped abruptly, and the second half of the words Xiong Chu did not continue.
Before seeing Li Zicheng, Xiong Chu was not prepared to say anything more.
If Prince Xiong doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, such as Mrs. Gao.
Pulling off a phoenix hairpin on her head, Mrs. Gao handed it to Miao Sanguan: "Miao Chengxiang, this is a relic left to me by my father, all the brothers who came out of the sixth battalion in the Chinese New Year's Eve know each other, and it is enough to command the three armies." From now on, the number of the Dashun Army, which originally belonged to the 36th Battalion, was cancelled and all of them were merged into the Xiongjia Army. β
