After walking around the camp and confirming that the Zhenwei Central Guard was fully prepared for combat, Zhu Jinghong sat up with Fan Changchun and others.
"How do you think this battle should be fought?"
Zhu Jinghong is very self-aware about the specific command of the battle, so he asked professionals like Fan Changchun.
"The enemy's army is strong and has been assembled, but our army now has no unified command. It is extremely difficult to win a head-on battle." Fan Changchun told the truth directly.
"If you want to win, you have to take the wrong side of the sword."
When they learned that Ning Huanxiang was killed and the army was forced to shrink, Fan Changchun and his deputies were thinking about this. question.
And one afternoon was enough for them to come up with a "recipe."
"Tell me about it" Zhu Jinghong asked with a serious expression.
“The enemy army is powerful, but its weaknesses are also obvious. They gathered quickly and set off, so they would not be able to bring much food and grass.”
“And they quickly approached the south, and they pushed them away. The food road has been lengthened, so"
At this time Zhu Jinghong interjected, "So the key is to cut off their food road, so they are very likely to retreat without a fight."
"Exactly So" Fan Changchun replied.
Cutting off the enemy's food routes and causing them to retreat is a strategy that can be traced throughout the history books.
Although it is a cliché, its effect is very obvious, so it is used over and over again.
Of course, the difficulty of achieving the goal of attacking the grain road is also obvious.
Take what Fan Changchun said as an example, how to find the Junggar grain transport team in the vast Gobi, how to avoid being discovered by enemy scouts in the process, and how to defeat the heavily trooped grain transport team.
There are many difficulties that can be listed. If you want to complete this kind of mission, you must have the right time, place and people.
"How many people do you think is appropriate to send to attack the enemy's food road?" Zhu Jinghong asked in a low voice.
Fan Changchun replied, "At least a thousand cavalry are needed. At this time, I asked several generals, and they all asked for battle, especially Shi Chong, the general of Zuodu."
< p>Among the four younger generations, Shi Chong is considered to be the oldest one, and he is also the fastest among them.Thinking of this person, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but think of the people in the Jia family. Compared with Shi Chong, these people were simply unworthy of comparison.
"Since he is so determined, let him go. He has always considered things carefully, and the chance of him completing the errand will be greater."
"Thirteenth Master, We really want to send people to attack the grain road." Fan Changchun hesitated.
Of course everyone will be happy if such a risky move succeeds, but if it fails, not to mention the consequences for the overall situation, the death of Shi Chong and Fan Changchun will offend the Shi family to death.
"Is there any reason to send Shi Chong there? Without more than a thousand people under his command, it will have little impact on the overall situation on the front line"
"But"
"When has this happened? You still owe it to your mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Hurry up and arrange things. I willLet's discuss how to fight the enemy again."
Fan Changchun looked at his colleagues and colleagues, hoping that they would 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 have made the decision on this matter. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it. I will call Shi Chong over now."
Having said this, Fan Changchun no longer hesitated and immediately ordered someone to call Shi Chong.
"Send someone to pass on my message to the Qinghai Xingdu Division and the various tribes' armies. , Get closer as soon as possible with our guards as the center."
"Pass my message again, and the generals from all ministries will come here at noon tomorrow to discuss strategies against the enemy."
Zhu Jinghong issued two more messages in succession. Although Fan Changchun and others felt that it was against the rules, the most important thing at the moment was to gather the troops' morale and form a unified command as soon as possible, otherwise a huge defeat would be imminent. It's inevitable.
"Yes"
After giving these instructions, seeing Fan Changchun and others looking tired, Zhu Jinghong's tone softened and said, "There will be discussions tomorrow, you all go back and rest." "Yeah"
"Yes"
After a day of tossing and turning, the spirit was highly tense, and they stayed up until midnight. Fan Changchun and others were indeed extremely tired now.
There was no point in staying, so Fan Changchun and the others left.
Not long after they left, Shi Chong arrived on horseback, got close to Zhu Jinghong, and then dismounted and walked.
"See the Thirteenth Master"
He raised his hand to signal Shi Chong to stand up. With the faint light of the fire, Zhu Jinghong looked at him and said, "Commander Wan said that you have volunteered to attack the enemy's grain supply." "Tao"
Bowing down and clasping his fists, Shi Chong replied, "That's not the case, we can't defeat the enemy."
"Going deep behind enemy lines and into the vast desert is a narrow escape. You are not afraid of never coming back." Zhu Jinghong He asked very seriously.
"Thirteenth Master, the Shi family has been greatly favored by the Holy One. Now is the time to serve the country, how can we shrink back from danger?" Shi Chong's eyes were firm.
Zhu Jinghong nodded, looked more highly at Shi Chong, and secretly praised this man for his ancestral legacy.
"You commanders are afraid that something will happen to you, so I said this matter is related. He agreed to let you detour behind enemy lines because I was responsible for it."
When Shi Chong was about to speak, Zhu Jinghong had already walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have really thought about it."< /p>
"I wish to go." Shi Chong knelt down on one knee.
He stretched out his hand to help him up. Zhu Jinghong said solemnly, "You are a general, and since you are so spirited, I will not stop you." You"
"Thank you Thirteenth Master for your success"
"You must come back safely" Zhu Jinghong said in a serious tone.
Feeling Zhu Jinghong's concern, Shi Chong once again deeply After bowing deeply, he replied, "I obey my orders."
So Shi Chong also left. He would lead the team to move tonight and sneak into the enemy's rear under the cover of darkness.
Shi Chong. After leaving, the guards had set up tents, which can give Zhu Jinghong a temporary rest.
Zhu Jinghong has been on the road all day long. Even though his physical fitness is excellent, he is still a little overwhelmed now.
He got into the tent to rest, but his orders were flying around the Gobi and reaching all the front lines.
After Zhu Jinghong left the Governor's Office, Yang Longshan also returned to his headquarters. It was almost dawn.
He had slept for less than half an hour when he received a message from Zhenwei Zhongwei. Zhu Jinghong asked the army to move toward the northeast and bring the generals there to discuss matters at noon today.
"With this arrangement, it seems that this war is inevitable," Yang Longshan sighed.
Originally, he had the opportunity to preside over this battle, but he refused because of his timidity.
But Yang Longshan has no regrets. He is very clear about his own strength. If he takes over this mess in the northwest, there is a 80% chance that he will mess it up.
"The Thirteenth Master is the legitimate son of the Holy Emperor, and no one can match him in the Holy Family. It would be good for him to take command. At least the defeat will be easier."
Yes, Yang Longshan saw clearly that this battle was commanded by Zhu Jinghong, not something everyone discussed together.
"Pass the order, the army will continue to move northeast and get as close as possible to Zhenwei Zhongwei"
To participate in the decisive battle, they must arrive near Zhenwei Zhongwei today so that they can be unified Arrange troops in formation.
Time is running out, how dare Yang Longshan delay.
And his decision was exactly the same as Zhou Quanhui on the northern front. After receiving the order, the latter also let the army continue to move closer to the south.
On the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, Zhu Jinghong woke up from his tent. He was awakened by the movement outside.
Soldiers who have been repairing all night are eating breakfast and preparing for battle, so it is inevitable to make noises.
After getting up, Zhu Jinghong was not in a hurry to go out, but picked up his pen and started writing a letter.
It was only now that he remembered that he should write a letter to the old man and explain a little about what happened on the front line to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible.
Since he wanted to equalize military power, it was normal for him to be misunderstood and even jealous by the emperor.
Even if the old man doesn’t doubt me, the prince and the sixth son will be afraid of me, and the next life 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 keep going forward.
After sealing the envelope, Zhu Jinghong handed it to the accompanying guards, who would deliver the letter to the urgent courier from eight hundred miles away.
After finishing this matter, Zhu Jinghong just walked out of the military tent. At this time, most of the soldiers around him were eating.
I saw him walking towards one of the circles. When these people noticed that he was approaching, they immediately put down their food and hurriedly saluted Zhu Jinghong, the Thirteenth Master.
"See the prince"
After signaling everyone to stand up, Zhu Jinghong asked "What do you want to eat?"
The soldiers present made an appointmentThere were thirty people, and the leader was a team leader. He stood up when he heard the question.
"Replying to the prince, each person has two noodles and a piece of beef jerky in the morning."
While this person was answering, Zhu Jinghong was also observing carefully, and there were still unfinished portions on the scene. bread and dried meat.
In this era, it is actually incredible that soldiers can eat so luxuriously.
Of course, it is very expensive to do this. It is no wonder that the emperor feels poor at all times. There are really too many places to spend money in the court.
Zhu Jinghong smiled and asked, "I'm leaving in a hurry and didn't bring anything to eat or drink. Can I borrow a meal from you?"
Hearing this, before the team was talking, His accompanying guards were about to speak and remind him that they actually brought his meals.
Yes, even if he is on the front line, Zhu Jinghong's "logistics" support is still superior.
The team member thought he had heard wrongly at first, and then he felt particularly frightened.
The main reason is that he has never encountered this kind of thing before, so he doesn't know how to deal with it at this time.
"Your Majesty, we are here"
Seeing his embarrassment, Zhu Jinghong said, "Maybe you are still reluctant to let go?"
"How dare you, a villain?" Kneel down again.
"Get up," Zhu Jinghong said while walking into the crowd, and then picked up a piece of dough.
"You can sit down, don't be so formal." Zhu Jinghong sat down on a stone.
He tried his best to appear kind, but his status as a prince still brought great pressure to everyone.
Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even top martial arts disciples like Shi Chong could not relax in front of Zhu Jinghong.
"The prince asked you to sit down, so you should stop standing," Gao Hong, the guard from Baihu, said.
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was sitting down, everyone still felt uneasy, but they still sat back down one after another.
While eating the cake, Zhu Jinghong asked, "If you eat these in the morning, what will you eat for lunch?"
This was the first question Zhu Jinghong asked, which made everyone at the scene confused. Although he had no idea, the leader of the team still answered honestly.
Next, Zhu Jinghong asked them what they wanted to eat. This question was undoubtedly even more strange.
Fortunately, because of his ridiculously high status and his somewhat legendary personality, everyone did not regard him as an "idiot". Instead, they thought he was somewhat unpredictable and profound.
Under Zhu Jinghong's "homely" questions, a group of soldiers gradually relaxed, allowing him to understand their truest mentality.
Although Ning Huanxiang's death had a great impact on the morale of the army, the cavalry in the Beijing camp did not lose all fighting spirit. On the contrary, the aggrievedness in their hearts made Zhu Jinghong feel that he could take advantage of it.
When Zhu Jinghong was having a good time with everyone and took the opportunity to watch these people show off their martial arts, Gao Hong reminded him by his side, "Your Majesty, Commander Wan has sent them here."
Zhu Jinghong glanced over and saw that besides Fan Changchun, Yang Longshan and Zhou Quanhui were all here.
He was chatting here not only to understand the morale of the soldiers, but also to wait for the arrival of these people.
So now, it’s time for him to leave.
"Wang Chengfu, I have remembered your words. As long as you can behead thirty levels, I will personally set up a wine to celebrate with you."
Behead thirty levels individually. This is an extraordinary achievement, but Wang Chengfu boasted about it.
But the martial arts skills that Wang Chengfu showed just now made Zhu Jinghong believe that this person has this ability, provided that he can survive the next battle.
That’s why Zhu Jinghong said the last sentence, which was actually a wish for Wang Chengfu.
"See the Thirteenth Master"
After Fan Changchun and others approached, they saluted Zhu Jinghong.
After signaling them to get up, Zhu Jinghong pointed to the high hillside and said, "Let's go up and talk"
"Yes"
So there were more than a dozen generals in this group , they all followed Zhu Jinghong towards the hillside.
It has a better view and can isolate outsiders from eavesdropping. It is an excellent place to discuss things.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong. As he left, Wang Chengfu looked around and asked, "Do you think I can eat at Prince Xiang's banquet?"
"Sir, thirty heads, this is not easy."
< p>"What nonsense are you talking about? With the ability of our team leader, thirty people are not even a matter of raising their hands."Wang Chengfu is a famous team leader after all. He has honest people who tell the truth under him. Naturally, They are also indispensable for flattery.
When Zhu Jinghong was here, these people were like idiots. As soon as he left, everyone returned to their "humanity".
Everyone here was talking and laughing, and Zhu Jinghong was here. By the time they reached the high slope, they could already overlook the camp below.
"Let's all take a seat."
At the scene, the guards had set up "mazar" chairs, which are portable. The objects are not unusual at the moment.
The arrangement of the chairs is also very interesting. Zhu Jinghong is undoubtedly the leader, and the rest of the people are arranged according to their official rank.
After everyone sat down, Zhu Jinghong took the seat. Let them talk about the situation of his troops first, so that he can formally exercise the power of frontline command.
After hearing everyone's replies, Zhu Jinghong said, "Although the Junggars are coming this time, you don't need to be afraid of them."< /p>
"As long as we gather the army, not to mention whether we can defeat them, at least we will have the ability to protect ourselves."
Although Zhu Jinghong's words were slightly pessimistic, everyone present The general breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that this young man would be frivolous and forcefully confront the Dzungars.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Jinghong then asked, "Everyone, if all our troops retreat, what will happen?" Can we get rid of the Junggar army?"
It is a very simple choice to run away if you cannot win. Zhu Jinghong has no face to worry about.
ZhuAfter Jinghong finished speaking, Yang Longshan said, "Your Majesty, this is not feasible. I'm afraid the Holy One will not agree."
"The Holy One's intention is to hit Junggar hard this year. The year before that The war situation is anxious and there is no progress. If we make a little progress and retreat instead of advancing, the Holy Spirit will definitely punish us."
This is the greatest pressure on the generals, and Ning Huanxiang is under the greatest pressure, so he is cautious. Going too far and seeking stability too much will make the situation anxious and difficult to make progress.
Now that Ning Huanxiang is dead, Yang Longshan and other generals have to face the emperor's wrath, so they will oppose the retreat.
This is actually a kind of tragedy. The generals should have just fought and made Youku according to the existing conditions
