Eight hundred and nineteenth chapter soldiers divided into three ways
Originally, the military meeting treated everyone equally, and everyone could put forward their own opinions. Since Luo Rucai had spoken, it was impossible for others to remain silent. Gao Yingxiang nodded to indicate that He Yilong could speak, and He Yilong immediately said: "The general thinks that Cao Cao's statement
Not entirely correct. The reason why our rebel army is invincible depends on
What is it? It is constantly moving and growing. Everyone knows the combat effectiveness of our rebel army. It is said that there is strength in numbers. We must gather together to form a joint force. If we follow what Cao Cao said, we put troops in this city.
Horses, put soldiers and horses in that city, then, go east
A little further west, how many people should be put in? Wouldn't the troops be more dispersed in this way? Just relying on those hungry soldiers, ten thousand people may not be able to defend a city. We only have 300,000 troops. Doesn't that mean we can only
Occupying thirty cities? Let me tell you, let’s follow the current strategy. Now
How fast our troops are expanding. If we can continue to develop like this, it will be just around the corner to become a million-strong army. When we really have such a powerful force, maybe the entire Central Plains and even the entire Ming Dynasty will be ours. King Chuang
, why should we care about the gains and losses of one city or one place now?"
Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but hesitate. What these two people said were both reasonable. Obviously He Yilong's statement was more tempting. Luo Rucai's statement was also good, but more conservative. He Yilong's statement was obviously more courageous, and he actually said a hundred words.
Wan Dajun, yes, it has only been a few years, especially the last
In recent times, the strength of the Chuang Army has continued to rise, from 200,000 to 300,000. If it can grow steadily like this, it will not take long, just a few years, to develop to one million.
problem, but it is definitely not possible to stay in Shanxi. We must develop to places with a larger population.
Gao Yingxiang named him and said: "Xianzhong, tell me your opinion." Zhang Xianzhong was lost in thought, and he was also weighing the pros and cons of the two statements. Unexpectedly, Gao Yingxiang named his own name. Zhang Xianzhong was stunned, and then said seriously:
"King Chuang, I will think that we should not be in Shanxi anymore. It's a big deal."
The land is huge, we must jump out. Only by jumping out can we achieve better development. Shaanxi has always been our old place. I think it is better to lead the troops back to Shaanxi. The land in Hanzhong is rich. We have been in northern Shaanxi when we raised our troops.
I've been wandering around and haven't even gone to southern Shaanxi to fight, so I just take advantage of this opportunity, how about we fight over there?"
Gao Yingxiang's eyes lit up. Yes, southern Shaanxi is densely populated and the conditions are much better than those in southern Shanxi. What's more, Shaanxi is his hometown, and it should be better to develop in Shaanxi than in Shanxi. However, Yang He also has Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.
The fierce men are over there. Can you resist the attacks of the officers and soldiers? I heard that Hong Chengchou trained some soldiers.
Ma, Yang He also granted him arbitrary power when the opportunity arises. Moreover, Yang He himself is in Xi'an Mansion, and there are many soldiers and horses around him. If these people join forces to attack him, and then contact Fang Mengting, wouldn't they surround themselves?
There is no way to advance or retreat in the middle. If supplies are not available, the army will collapse in an instant. This is not what Gao Yingxiang wants to see.
Li Zicheng looked at Gao Yingxiang, and Gao Yingxiang happened to look towards him. Yes, his nephew Li Zicheng had not spoken yet. He was most familiar with the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, so he could come out and introduce him. Gao Yingxiang immediately said: "Zicheng, you
Let's talk about it, this is your first
I attended a military meeting in the Chuang Army for the first time. It doesn't matter. We are all brothers. Since you have joined, we will treat you as a good brother. We are not so particular and can express our opinions. You are more familiar with the situation there. You
Let’s talk about what we should do next.”
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, quickly ran through the prepared remarks in his mind, and then took a deep breath and said: "King Chuang, generals, in my opinion, the most important thing we should do now is to divide our troops."
Divide the troops? Divide the troops?" Questioning voices rang out. No one expected that Li Zicheng would put forward such an opinion as soon as he came up. Although what a few people just said were different, there was no one.
People mentioned that the army should be divided, but Li Zicheng surprisingly said that he wanted to divide the troops. You know, dividing the troops is actually very risky in a sense. If it is not done well, it will be easily defeated by the officers and soldiers. Everyone
Li Zicheng looked at Li Zicheng with suspicion, especially those who were a little dissatisfied with him, and immediately cast contemptuous looks at him. However, Li Zicheng seemed to be indifferent and continued to explain his opinions.
"Everyone, please listen to what the young general has to say first, and then listen to see if what the young general said makes sense." After Li Zicheng said this, and with the support of Gao Yingxiang, everyone naturally did not dare to say anything and wanted to listen to what Li Zicheng had to say.
Li Zicheng spoke eloquently, "The division of troops mentioned by the young general does not mean to disperse all the troops, but to find a target, and other troops must cover the main force to achieve this goal, so as to achieve our strategic intentions."
.The generals have just expressed their opinions. The young general thinks that what they said is right and there is no conflict. It is just that there may be some order. I
We can take General He's advice first. Yes, there is no benefit in holding on to the city at the moment. We don't have that much equipment. I also saw it outside the city when we came. Most of us are still hungry soldiers. These people are actually not good at fighting. War needs
They are still elites. These hungry soldiers seem to be very powerful. When we go deeper, we find that they are just a mob. So we can't stop.
We still have to keep moving forward, continue to expand, and expand more troops in a shorter period of time. When the number of troops reaches an incalculable number, the imperial army will be helpless against us. So General He Yilong's strategy
It can be used, and what General Zhang Xianzhong said is correct. Yes, we cannot rest on our laurels in Shanxi, but should jump out and go to a broader
Fight in local areas, attract more people to join our team, and expand the influence of the Chuang Army to further places. Finally, it is General Luo Rucai’s suggestion. After we expand our influence in various places, we can occupy cities and establish base areas.
, as our base. It is not enough to be a dandelion all the time, we must take root. So the young general proposed this plan of dividing the troops into three groups."
"Why are the troops divided into three groups?" Gao Yingxiang asked quickly.
"Actually, it's very simple. I traveled from Gansu to Shaanxi, and even Sichuan and Hubei, and finally went through Henan, and then came to Shanxi. I can't say that I'm quite familiar with the situation in these places, but I know it well. We know it.
What we want to do is to base ourselves on Shanxi, just like the two big pincers of a crab, we want to extend our hands to Shaanxi and Henan. Therefore, the young general proposed that King Chuang send an elite force to cross the Yellow River and attack the western part of Henan.
Within Henan
Most of the troops and horses in Kaifeng and Luoyang are concentrated in Kaifeng and Luoyang. At least I didn't encounter any obstacles all the way from the west. Our army is on the other side of the Yellow River. The troops and horses in Kaifeng and Luoyang will not act rashly. The western part of Henan is where we can gallop at will.
, At the same time, through Henan, we can continue to go south, enter Hubei, and even enter Sichuan. The further inland, the more useless the guards are. These people can't stop us at all. Hu
Guangdong and Sichuan are both grain-producing areas. If we can open up a situation there, we can move the entire army there to seek long-term development. At the same time, there must be a force stationed in Shanxi to guard against possible attacks later. After all,
Taiyuan Prefecture is not in our hands, and we don’t know the situation of the officers and soldiers there. Although the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Prefecture are nothing to be afraid of, we still have to be careful with the border troops of Datong Prefecture. If they come from behind and kill them,
, we can give up on other prefectures and counties, but we must defend the ferry on the Yellow River. This is our last retreat. In addition, we have to defend Shaanxi. We need a team of people to fight back to Shaanxi and resume our operations in Shaanxi.
By containing the imperial troops in Shaanxi, many places will blossom. Once the crisis in Shaanxi and Shanxi is eliminated, the pressure on troops attacking from the front will be reduced, and the future of our rebel army will be brighter." Li Zicheng said with confidence.
Bang bang, applause rang out, and everyone looked towards the hall and found that it was Gao Yingxiang who was applauding, "Yes, yes, Zicheng has finally developed himself after so many years. He is resourceful, hahaha, resourceful, this method is good, please bloom more."
,
Let's see how Yang He, an old man, can deal with the situation." Li Zicheng seized the opportunity and stepped forward and said: "King Chuang, the young general is not talented. He is willing to lead his troops to Shaanxi to contain Yang He and Hong Chengchou.
Waiting for others' troops and horses." Cong Li
Judging from Zicheng's own plan, Shaanxi is indeed the most dangerous place. After all, they have to face the army led by Yang He himself. And Li Zicheng's invitation to Shaanxi is tantamount to blocking everyone's mouth. Gao Yingxiang's heart
Joy, this nephew is really
He is promising, not only has strategy but also extraordinary courage. Gao Yingxiang waved his hand and said: "No, you stay, you just escaped from the tiger's mouth, how can you go back. I will go to Shaanxi personally, and let Xianzhong lead the troops all the way out."
Go to Shanxi and let Luo Rucai take charge."
As soon as Gao Yingxiang said this, everyone immediately shouted no. Who would have thought that Gao Yingxiang would go to Shaanxi in person? It is too dangerous. Gao Yingxiang said with a straight face: "I have made up my mind, don't try to persuade me anymore." Gao Yingxiang has been here for so many years.
He has a lot of prestige in the army. He has a straight face, but others are afraid to do so.
Li Zicheng said, "If King Chuang insists on going, I will be willing to accompany him. I am familiar with the situation there, and there is no one who can lead the way." Li Zicheng stepped forward and stood alone.
