Chapter 194 Planning
Seeing everyone's fighting spirit come back little by little, Pei Xiaoer breathed a sigh of relief. So he continued: "The above is our army's main goal in the near future, but to achieve this goal, we must slowly achieve it step by step.
At least, we should make a decision now, where should our army go next?
Should you go west, through Shaanxi, and into Sichuan; or to head south, and towards the depths of Henan? What do you think? You can speak as freely as possible. Those who speak will not be guilty."
After Pei Xiaoer said that, everyone present began to whisper. Some people agreed to go west, from Shaanxi to Hanzhong, and into Sichuan. This is also the main way for the Central Plains forces to enter Sichuan since ancient times. The separatist regimes in Sichuan have also been dynasties.
Most of them were annihilated because of this road.
Another group of people advocated going south, from Henan to Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou, then upstream along the Yangtze River, heading westward, conquering Chongqing, and then attacking Sichuan from Chongqing.
Pei Xiaoer noticed that almost all those who put forward the latter idea were weak scholars who were forced to join the Pei family army. Pei Xiaoer was in the top position, and was impartial on the surface, and he did not agree with any view. In fact, he was polite.
People with the latter view are filled with contempt and disdain.
These people are all nerds who talk about war on paper. They advocate Xiangnan, but they are just fighting against their own little 99. Shaanxi is Hong Chengchou's nest, and Hong Chengchou's ferocity has spread throughout the entire rebel circle. This guy loves to kill and surrender, but he doesn't have any
Half of morality can be said.
In addition, since the first year of Chongzhen, the Shaanxi soldiers have suppressed bandits for many years. Although they have suffered heavy losses, as long as they survive, they are at least more than a little stronger than the garrisons in other places. These nerds are afraid of the sharpness of Shaanxi officers and soldiers and want to
Escape to the south and try to avoid the main force of the officers and soldiers.
But they didn't think about it. It took thousands of miles from Henan to Huguang, and there were nearly a hundred cities of all sizes and large and small. If they were blocked by a city on the road, then the officers and soldiers would arrive together to encircle and suppress the Pei family army. That would be true.
If you call it Tiantian, it will not respond, and if you call it Tiandi is not effective, everyone in the Pei family will die without a place to bury it.
Seeing the debate in the hall, it was impossible to stop for a while and could not come up with a satisfactory solution. The increasingly loud noise even made Pei Xiaoer's head hurt, so Pei Xiaoer had to get up to stop it.
Pei Xiaoer found out that he had made a mistake. How could he get such a major event that relate to the strategic direction of the army to the lobby and discuss it openly with everyone? Pei Xiaoer waved his hand and drove all these people out and asked them to go back and have a good time.
Think about it, and then talk about it after you have finished it.
After everyone said goodbye and left, Pei Xiaoer's ears finally became clear. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand to call the personal soldiers next to him and ordered in his ear: "Go, please Liu Xianchun, Liu Changle, Pei Zhuer, Wang Daozhi,
Qiao Chun and others called to the flower hall next to me, and I would come later."
The personal soldiers nodded and left.
After a while, in the flower hall on the right side of the lobby, several senior executives of the Pei Family Army gathered together again.
"Now there are only a few of us here. You all talk about it. What should we do next?" Pei Xiaoer rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers and said.
Liu Changle stood up first and bowed to Pei Xiaoer, "General, I think we should go west and go to Shaanxi to meet Liu Zhizu, so that we can have 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and then the army gathers together to attack together.
Hanzhong, there is the greatest chance of winning in this way, and you can protect yourself even if you can’t win.”
Pei Xiaoer looked at the young man who had been following him and came out of Peijiazhuang with some gratitude. Liu Changle has grown up after all. Although he is not very comprehensive in thinking about problems, these words are obviously also passed.
Deeply thoughtful, he is no longer the reckless and reckless boy who used to be.
Pei Xiaoer signaled Liu Changle to sit down, and his eyes swept to the other people again. Seeing Liu Xianchun frowning, Pei Zhuer was eager to try, obviously agreeing with Liu Changle's point of view. Wang Dao lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qiao Chun smiled and said nothing.
Pei Xiaoer then looked at Wang Daozhi and asked, "Daozhi, what do you think Liu Changle's words?"
Wang Daozhi hurriedly stood up, faced Pei Xiaoer with a deep bow, and said: "Return to the general, the last general thought that General Liu said very well, if our army goes west to join General Liu, our general
If you can stand invincible, you will be able to easily attack Sichuan or stay in Shaanxi at that time."
Wang Daozhi said something and smiled at Liu Changle, feeling that this old guy in his forties had become more handsome.
Wang Daozhi's words obviously did not satisfy Pei Xiaoer. Pei Xiaoer stared at Wang Daozhi intently, and saw that he felt a little scared in his heart. Wang Daozhi hurriedly added:
"But, when the way westward, there will be officers and soldiers obstructing each other. The dangers are so dangerous that the general needs to think twice."
Pei Xiaoer nodded and signaled Wang Dao to sit down. After Wang Dao thanked him, he sat down next to the edge of the stool, and felt relieved in his heart.
Wang Daozhi still has the ability. He obviously discovered the risks of Liu Changle's plan, but this guy is quite sloppy. In order not to offend Liu Changle, he would rather pretend to know nothing than be a leader.
Citron, too much thought, I have to beat it up in the future.
Pei Zhuer was ready to stand up and support Liu Changle. He stopped Wang Daozhi, but Pei Xiaoer glared at him fiercely, which scared Pei Zhuer back again.
Pei Zhuer is brave, but his brain really needs to be improved. Like Liu Xianchun, he is a stingy subject. Liu Xianchun is extremely smart, but he is good at political affairs. He handles difficult government affairs in an orderly manner, but his military talents are blind.
The ability to handle political affairs is greatly reduced.
Pei Zhuer has a congenital deficiency. Although he has improved after several life and death, he is still far from the top talents. Let him be honest and charge forward!
Pei Xiaoer finally turned his attention to Qiao Chun. Since the last time, Qiao Chun proposed that the entire army should turn to Sichuan's strategic goal, it has attracted Pei Xiaoer's attention. There are many generals who can fight and manage the state.
There are also talents in the county to appease the people.
It’s just that this kind of strategic vision has only discovered Qiao Chun so far, and even Pei Xiaoer claims that he can only be considered half of it. But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand. As a superior, he has to do it.
It is to use good people. As long as you grasp Qiao Chun well, you can also play the same role.
"Mr. Qiao, tell me, what should we do next?"
"Yes, General." Qiao Chun stood up and looked calm and disrespectful to Pei Xiaoer, saying, "What General Liu said just now sent troops to join General Liu Zhizu. This is a clever plan and our army must leave.
The road is clear and humble. However, if you enter Shaanxi, General Liu Changle must have asked me to go straight west, pass Tongguan, and enter Shaanxi!"
Qiao Chun said, turned his head and looked at Liu Changle and smiled.
Liu Changle also stood up and nodded, "Yes, this is natural. We are now in Shanzhou, passing Tongguan westward, and entering Shaanxi is the fastest and most convenient way."
"That's it. Did General Liu think of Hong Chengchou, who is far away in Puzhou? It is reported that he has 50,000 or 60,000 troops under his command, and Puzhou is only a water away from Tongguan. If Hong Chengchou knows that our army is heading west, he will
Passing through customs clearance and entering Shaanxi, will Hong Chengchou take the lead in crossing the Yellow River from Puzhou south and defending Tongguan to the death?
If this is true, then can the General, with our current 30,000 troops, be able to capture the impeccable Tongguan guarded by Hong Chengchou's 60,000 troops?"
"This..." Pei Xiaoer was silent. Obviously, with his current strength, even if he was on the flat ground, he could not win a complete victory even if he fought with Hong Chengchou, who was twice as good as his. What's more, Hong Chengchou still occupies now.
The advantage of the right place is even more incomparable to it.
