The next morning, Hong Chengchou summoned the generals to discuss matters in the official hall!
Although most of the generals were drunk last night, Mingzhu was short-tongued and when it was time to contribute, not one of the generals was late!
Liu Ruyi rushed to the official hall early in the morning. He even paid more attention to the upcoming war than Hong Chengchou!
It's still the same official hall as last night, but the furnishings and atmosphere have changed!
The small table that was originally used for drinking has been thrown away somewhere. Instead, there are two rows of rigid wooden chairs. Behind the wooden chairs, there are various weapons and armors hanging, full of murderous aura!
At this time, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi had not arrived yet, and the generals were sitting in two rows, whispering. Obviously, at this moment when troops were about to be dispatched, the generals were still somewhat uneasy!
However, what surprised Liu Ruyi was that in the lowest position on the left, Zuk Kefa was sitting there, thoughtfully!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's eyes, Zukefa smiled slightly and nodded, but didn't say much!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but take a breath, her ancestral family was indeed a powerful family in Liaodong, this matter was quite interesting!
Wang Pu also noticed Liu Ruyi's gaze, and hurriedly came to Liu Ruyi's side and whispered: "Brother Liu, did the ancestors give you anything yesterday?"
Liu Ruyi was startled, but nodded slightly.
Wang Pu couldn't help but smile, "I'm telling you! How could his ancestral family forget about Brother Liu if they want to relieve the siege of Jinzhou? But, Brother Liu, I heard that the ancestral family gave it to Governor Hong and Wu Sangui, but this is the number!
Brother Liu, you should be about the same, right?"
Wang Pu secretly stretched out a finger!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but frown slightly and said calmly: "Half!"
"Uh? This?" Wang Pu couldn't help but his face changed, and he whispered: "He only gave me and Hu Shuai, Yang Shuai and the others three thousand taels. I thought Brother Liu, you should have a little more!
Unexpectedly, it is not as good as Wu Sangui!"
Wang Pu gritted his teeth and his face turned red from holding back. Obviously, the Zu family's behavior was really looking down on others!
Liu Ruyi was also slightly disgusted, but at this time, Liu Ruyi didn't have the time to worry about the ancestral family's pettiness. At least, it was better than nothing!
"Brother Wang, it doesn't matter! If we can win this battle, what does this mere tael of silver mean?"
Wang Pu nodded hurriedly, but still said angrily: "Huh! They are a bunch of villains, I am too lazy to argue with them!"
Liu Ruyi didn't speak, she just leaned gently on the wooden chair and calmed down!
Liu Ruyi can understand Zu Dashou's approach, but when it comes to doing this, you can't just put a bowl of water on the same page, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive!
Especially at such a critical juncture!
However, having reached this point, Liu Ruyi had no intention of paying attention to the favoritism of his ancestors, and focused his attention on the huge map of Liaodong in the center of the hall!
~~~~
Not long after, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi arrived one after another!
Hong Chengchou cupped his hands and said, "Generals, just now, I and the Supervisor discussed in the back hall for a while, and it took some time. I hope you generals don't blame me! Haha!"
After hearing what Hong Chengchou said, all the generals reacted in their own minds and hurriedly knelt down to salute Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi!
Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said, "Generals, please get up quickly! Today, I have invited the generals to come. I believe that the generals already know why! The Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has besieged Jinzhou for nearly four months. The imperial court,
Commander-in-Chief and I are under great pressure! At this time, our reinforcements have gathered from all walks of life, and our food, grass and baggage have been prepared. I discussed with the Lord Supervisor and agreed that the time is ripe to send troops! Generals
, do you have any good suggestions?"
Unlike Yuan Chonghuan, who had monopolized power at the time, Hong Chengchou was more tactful and could listen to what others said. Although the court, him, and Zhang Ruoqi had already planned the route of the expedition, he still decided to present it in front of the generals.
, go through a cutscene!
The generals immediately started talking in low voices!
But perhaps because it was related to his own vital interests, Wu Sangui was the first to step out, kneeling on one knee and saying: "Director Hong, the supervisor of the army is here. I, Ningyuan Army, am willing to be the vanguard of the army!"
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but smile. This was the effect he wanted. As long as Wu Sangui, the strongest among the generals, spoke, the next thing would be much easier!
"Wu Junmen is loyal and devoted to the country. I and the supervisor will personally report it to the Ming court! However, at present, the Qing army's situation has changed again. Regarding the original expedition route, I have not yet made a decision in my mind. Wu Junmen
, do you have any good ideas?"
Wu Sangui frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Director Hong, Lord Supervisor of the Army, and all my colleagues, the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is an elite and brave army. If we are powerfully defeated, although we are not afraid, we will definitely increase the number of men under our command.
Our casualties! In the past, during the Battle of Sarhu, our elite Ming Dynasty suffered from the dispersion of our troops, so that the Qing army seized the opportunity and defeated them one by one! At this time, Huang Taiji seemed to have made a mistake
We made the same mistake as we did in the Ming Dynasty. All we need to do is concentrate our forces, act step by step, and be cautious, and it will inevitably happen..."
Wu Sangui did not continue, but everyone in the hall understood what he meant!
Yes, the Qing army was elite and powerful, but at this time due to the siege of Jinzhou City, their forces were slightly scattered. In this case, if the Ming army could defeat one of them first and open a gap, they could fight with the ancestors in Jinzhou City.
If the longevity department looks at each other from afar, it will have a great chance of winning!
Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction. Wu Sangui's ideas fit his train of thought!
Playing it safe, taking steps step by step, relying on the solid defense line of the Ming army, and resisting the impact of the Eight Banners cavalry is definitely the most certain choice to win!
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you have quick thinking! Wu Junmen is indeed the pillar of our Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Ruoqi also praised!
Although he didn't know anything about warfare, he was familiar with the art of war. In theory, there was no flaw in Wu Sangui's plan, and it also met the requirements of the imperial court for the use of troops this time!
The two bosses both spoke, and the generals couldn't help but echo their words one after another. There was harmony in the hall!
Liu Ruyi frowned slightly. Wu Sangui could come up with this method, and his strategic vision was really good. However, Liu Ruyi always felt that there was something wrong with giving up the two wings so easily!
But as for what was wrong, Liu Ruyi couldn't remember it at the moment!
At this time, Hong Chengchou said loudly: "If this is the case, all the generals agree, let's do it like this! Since Wu Junmen is determined to serve the country, I will naturally give you this opportunity! Wu Sangui listens to the order~~~!"
"The general is here!" Wu Sangui quickly knelt down on one knee and respectfully performed a military salute!
"We will send out troops tomorrow morning. You will be the vanguard. Don't advance rashly, don't underestimate the enemy, and don't engage the enemy without permission. Fight steadily and lead the way for our army. Can you do it?" Hong Chengchou said sternly, holding the tiger talisman in his hand tightly!
"General, take your orders!" Wu Sangui lowered his head, his eyes full of determination!
"Okay! Take the order!"
"yes!"
"Generals, the army will go out tomorrow, and all ministries must act according to the original policy of the imperial court! I am still saying the same thing! Don't advance rashly, don't underestimate the enemy, and don't engage in battle with the enemy without permission! Do you understand?" Hong Chengchou is aloof, the governor is domineering, you can see it all
Nothing left!
"Yes! Please follow Governor Hong's teachings!" All the generals knelt down and kowtowed.
Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction, military morale is available!
"Tomorrow, I, the Superintendent and the Supervisor of the Army will personally take charge of the Central Army. You and other ministries must supervise and supervise the provision of food and fodder for each ministry! All armies move forward together and strive to eliminate the disaster of the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
All the generals knelt down one after another, but Liu Ruyi was stunned on the spot. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have caught something!
"Food! It's just food! Hong Chengchou has every plan, but the most important thing is that he forgot how to deal with the supply of food and grass for the army!"
Hong Chengchou also saw Liu Ruyi standing in the crowd at a glance. He was slightly unhappy and frowned: "Liu Junmen, do you have any objections?"
Liu Ruyi also reacted at this time, hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Director Hong, I have no objections! However, most of our army's food and grass are still in Ningyuan. If we concentrate our forces in this way, we will no longer ignore the flanks, in case we are cleared.
The elite cavalry have taken the retreat, what should we do with this food and grass then?"
Hong Chengchou was startled, and Wu Sangui's expression changed drastically. They had calculated everything, but they had forgotten the most important food and grass!
The Eight Banners cavalry came and went like the wind. If it was true as Liu Ruyi said, then~~~~ the entire main force of the Ming army would probably be made dumplings by the Qing army!
What kind of hero is Huang Taiji?
Liu Ruyi could discover such a huge flaw in the Ming army, how could Huang Taiji not see it?
Historically, it was precisely because Hong Chengchou ignored the flanks that the Ming army on the left was empty and was instantly broken through by the Qing army. The advantage established by the main force of the Ming army was instantly eliminated and became a turtle in the urn!
"Liu Junmen's wisdom, Wu has learned a lesson!" Wu Sangui saluted Liu Ruyi openly and bowed deeply!
"Don't dare! Wu Junmen praised him very much. Liu only remembered this after hearing Governor Hong talk about food and grass!" Liu Ruyi cupped her hands and returned the greeting.
Hong Chengchou's face was ashen, and he realized at this time that if Liu Ruyi hadn't reminded him, his great reputation in this life would have been ruined in the land of Liaodong!
Unlike inside the pass, the various departments of the official and military forces in the pass may have their own ideas when fighting the refugee army. After all, the overall combat power of the refugee army and the official army is no longer on the same stage!
But outside the customs, you are facing the Eight Banners cavalry who eat people but not spit out bones. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces!
No one will make fun of their own wealth and life!
Fortunately, there is the world-famous Liu Ruyi this time, otherwise, this time, I am afraid it will be really difficult to end!
Zhang Ruoqi also reacted at this time. Although he did not know soldiers and did not understand the true combat power of the Eight Banners Army, once this loophole was magnified, his heart was filled with chills, "General Liu, since you have discovered this problem! Then
, do you have any good solutions?"
Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui immediately stared at Liu Ruyi's eyes, waiting for Liu Ruyi's answer!
