As the saying goes, 'If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!'
The two bosses have spoken out, and Wu Sangui, who has the most troops among the generals, also fully supports it. Under such circumstances, Liu Ruyi did not want to come out and sing the opposite tune!
But the Battle of Songjin is really too important!
If you are not careful, you will lose everything!
Wu Sangui, Zhang Ruoqi, the generals around him, and even his immediate boss Hong Chengchou, although they were all considered heroes of the time, when faced with real problems, Liu Ruyi found that they were obviously too optimistic, or perhaps
Say~~~~I’m lucky!
Liu Ruyi came from later generations. In that era of explosion of knowledge and information, he saw countless storms, tsunamis, and clouds rising and falling!
Today, you are still a high-ranking leader of a conglomerate, enjoying all kinds of political courtesy, but tomorrow, you may be bankrupt and have no money, not even as much as a stray dog on the street!
The ancient saying that "a hero should not be judged by his success or failure" is more of a psychological suggestion of self-deception!
Overlord Xiang Yu, with all his might, swept the mountains, swept across the Qin Dynasty, and conquered all the princes in the world from Pengcheng. What a majestic appearance?
But in the end, he still couldn't defeat Liu Bang, who was born as a gangster, and was forced to commit suicide in Wujiang. Even the most beloved woman could not be saved!
Is Xiang Yu a hero? The answer may be the same!
But is Xiang Yu successful? I’m afraid everyone has different opinions!
Just like the Olympic Games, almost all the athletes who can participate are top leaders from all over the world, and everyone is superior in strength!
But there is only one champion~!
In his previous life, Liu Ruyi wandered alone in a city full of entertainment, entertainment, and wealth. He also had a clear scale in his mind about the so-called 'success'!
Today, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Zhang Ruoqi, the generals around them, and a series of civil servants such as Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang, they and Liu Ruyi can be said to be like grasshoppers on a rope, riding together on the shaky ship of the Ming Dynasty.
!
If the wind goes smoothly, everyone can get by, but if the boat breaks down, then~~~ no one can escape!
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath and scanned everyone in the hall one by one with her sharp eyes!
No one in the crowd dared to look Liu Ruyi in the eye, even Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui slightly misaligned their eyes!
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly. At this time, he had to make his voice heard!
"Director Hong, Lord Supervisor of the Army, Wu Junmen, colleagues!" Liu Ruyi cupped his hands in front of everyone, and then said: "The general also agrees with Governor Hong's strategy just now! It's just that in order to stabilize the army's frontal defense line and protect the food and grass.
The general believes that there must be a strong soldier on the flank of the main army to block the pass where the Qing army sneak attacks, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the strategy of the imperial court and Governor Hong!"
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, but did not speak immediately!
Wu Sangui was also thoughtful. Apparently, he also figured out the key to this!
Only the supervisor, Zhang Ruoqi, had never truly realized the cruelty of war, and he quickly asked: "General Liu, according to what you said, who is the most suitable person to take charge of this powerful flanking force?"
Liu Ruyi glanced at Hong Chengchou, suddenly knelt down on one knee and said: "I am willing to be a pawn in front of Hong Du's horse!"
Hong Chengchou suddenly smiled. Although he was gentle on the surface, he was extremely conceited in his heart. Although Liu Ruyi had just wiped out his face, she finally threw an olive branch. This made the anger in Hong Chengchou's heart disappear instantly.
point!
But after all, he is the governor and the supreme commander of the Liaodong war. Obviously, at this moment, he cannot be led by his subordinate Liu Ruyi!
"Liu Junmen, what you said is not unreasonable! However, if the flank is besieged by the Qing army, and the main force of the governor is too late to rescue, then~~~, what should we do?"
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Director Hong, since the general dares to say this, he dares to issue a military order! If there is any mistake in the flank guarded by Liu Ruyi, I am willing to raise my head to see you!"
Hong Chengchou frowned slightly. He had been in battle for a long time and naturally knew that what Liu Ruyi said was an extremely reasonable deployment of troops. However, Hong Chengchou wanted to give Liu Ruyi a slight blow, but he never expected that Liu Ruyi would be so strong and risk his life as a guarantee.
!
Hong Chengchou looked directly into Liu Ruyi's eyes and said nothing for a long time!
Liu Ruyi no longer showed off her sharp edge, but lowered her head slightly, showing great respect!
Wu Sangui also looked at Liu Ruyi with a complex expression. If Liu Ruyi was to go to the flank alone, he would be besieged by the main force of the Qing army. Why would Liu Ruyi do such a thankless job?
?What good will this do to him?
"Uh..." The silent atmosphere was extremely depressing. Zhang Ruoqi on the side was about to speak, but Hong Chengchou loudly said to Liu Ruyi: "Liu Junmen, have you thought clearly? Do you really want to do this?"
Liu Ruyi nodded solemnly, but didn't say much!
"good!"
Hong Chengchou suddenly laughed, "Liu Junmen, I will leave the left wing of the army to you! The right wing is adjacent to the Xiaoling River. The Qing army has no sailors, so it is not a big threat! However, this time, the Qing army's firepower
, I’m afraid all the attention will be focused on you!”
Liu Ruyi knelt down on one knee and said, "Since the day of the expedition, Liu has pinned his head to his waistband! Governor Hong, this battle is of great importance. I am willing to be on the left wing to protect Governor Hong and the army."
!”
Seeing Liu Ruyi agreeing so simply, Hong Chengchou's expression changed slightly!
Why is Liu Ruyi rushing to do this kind of dirty and tiring work? Does he have any ulterior motives?
Liu Ruyi didn't know what Hong Chengchou was thinking in his mind. However, according to Hong Chengchou's ability, Liu Ruyi believed that he had made it so clear. It was impossible for Hong Chengchou to not see the weakness of the main force of the Ming army this time. Everything depends on
Hong Chengchou’s magnanimity and courage are amazing!
Let’s see if he is worthy of being the last minister of the Ming Dynasty!
~~~~
Deathly silence again!
Even Zhang Ruoqi closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to express his anger!
Suddenly, Hong Chengchou let out a sigh of relief and said, "Liu Ruyi obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"Early tomorrow morning, you will lead your troops to march into Jinzhou City from the left. Do not advance rashly, do not underestimate the enemy, and do not engage in battle with the enemy without authorization! Can you possibly do this to protect the left wing of the army?"
"General, I obey!" Liu Ruyi kowtowed to Hong Chengchou respectfully!
Hong Chengchou nodded vigorously, "Datong Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu obeys the order!"
"The general is here!" Wang Pu hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down and said.
"Tomorrow, you and Liu Ruyi's troops will go out to attack the left wing. Your Datong Army will accept Liu Ruyi's control. Do you have any objections?"
"Ah? I humbly obey my orders!" Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and kowtowed to Hong Chengchou with all his strength!
Seeing Liu Ruyi jumping out of the Ming army's main camp, Wang Pu was a little panicked. He was not stupid. In this confusing situation, he was absolutely unwilling to be separated from Liu Ruyi. When he was worrying about what to do, unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou
I actually gave him this huge pie!
Liu Ruyi was also startled. She didn't expect that Hong Chengchou would do this even after he had lost face!
Liu Ruyi suddenly raised her head, only to find that Hong Chengchou was smiling at her gently, regaining his former gentleness and kindness!
Liu Ruyi suddenly understood that this was Hong Chengchou sending a favor to him!
Although Wang Pu's Datong Army has only five to six thousand men and its combat strength is average, after all, mosquito meat is also meat. With the help of Wang Pu, who is close to him, if the critical moment comes, it can still defeat the enemy.
Top!
"Director Hong is very kind, but even a humble position will never be forgotten!" After figuring out the reason, Liu Ruyi respectfully kowtowed to Hong Chengchou several times, and her evaluation of him in her heart was even higher!
Putting aside everything else, Hong Chengchou can be said to be a tycoon just because of his magnanimity! No wonder Gao Yingxiang, the arrogant King of Chuang, would also fall into his hands!
"Haha! If the soldiers work hard and the soldiers work together, our Ming Dynasty will win this battle!" Hong Chengchou turned his head and glanced at everyone, and said with confidence!
"I am willing to die for Governor Hong!" All the generals fell to their knees with a roar!
Liu Ruyi led 7,000 colorful stone troops, plus nearly 6,000 Datong troops from Wang Pu, out of Songshan City and headed towards the left flank of Jinzhou City!
At the same time, Hong Chengchou led Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Ma Ke, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong and other generals, with a total force of 130,000, out of Songshan City and approaching Jinzhou!
The Battle of Songjin, which is about to change the history of East Asia, has officially begun!
~~~~~~
The weather at the end of July is already a bit cold, and being close to the seaside, the air is slightly humid, which is very uncomfortable!
After leaving Songshan City, everyone's nerves became tense. Even Wang Pu, who usually laughed and laughed, had a solemn expression and followed Liu Ruyi closely without saying a word!
Songshan is less than a hundred miles away from Jinzhou, and all the way up is plains with open roads. At noon, Liu Ruyi's army of more than ten thousand arrived on a gentle hillside!
Standing here, you can already see the towering city walls of Jinzhou City and the tumbling Xiaoling River!
Everywhere around, Qing army cavalry kept passing by. They did not dare to get close to the front of the army, but cruised around the periphery, nervously maintaining a distance from the army!
"General, these flies are really annoying! Give me the order! I'm going to kill all these bastards!" Xiao Liu'er was already a little impatient, pointing at the fly-like Qing army knights not far away and cursed!
Liu Ruyi shook his head slightly. Although the Caishi Army had hundreds of horses, they were all Liu Ruyi's treasures. Liu Ruyi did not want to be exposed easily until the critical moment!
Moreover, these Qing army cavalry were obviously riding good horses with outstanding horsepower. Even if they chased them, it would not necessarily have a good effect at such a long distance!
"Where are the main forces on Governor Hong's side? Is there any news?" Liu Ruyi turned to Huo Lang and asked.
"News just came that Hong Du and the others have arrived ten miles away to the east, and are almost keeping pace with us! If nothing happens, they should be able to reach the gates of Jinzhou City in the evening!" Huo Lang said hurriedly.
Liu Ruyi took a breath and said, "The old cat with nine lives will visit again. Remember to keep in touch with Governor Hong. The army will rest here for half an hour! In half an hour, they will approach Jinzhou City!"
