For a certain plan in the future, Zhao Junchen has been consciously stoking the anger in Liang Fuchen's heart during this period. The deliberate relinquishment of power in the past few days was just a way of suppressing the desire to advance.
This day was the most important occasion for Liang Fuchen. Zhao Junchen suddenly became angry after being honest for a while. The effect was naturally much stronger than the usual insinuations.
Now, after his plan to steal Zhao Junchen's achievements was thwarted and Zhao Junchen stole all the limelight, Liang Fuchen really looked gloomy.
However, Liang Fuchen was worthy of being the elder of the court and an important minister of the "Imperial Party". He quickly regained his composure and said slowly: "After I arrived at Huamachi Camp, Mr. Zhao told me in detail about this matter.
This plan, after repeated discussions and improvements between this pavilion and Mr. Zhao these days, this plan is indeed very promising... If you have no different opinions, in my opinion, we can follow Mr. Zhao's plan this time.
This plan works.”
After hinting that he also played a role, Liang Fuchen turned his eyes again and looked around at the officials present.
Soon, Liang Fuchen received responses from many officials!
"This plan is extremely clever, and it was created by Mr. Zhao... and Mr. Liang Ge. Naturally, I can't think of a better idea!"
"Such a plan can be said to be closely conceived, link by link! I think that judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there won't be a better plan!"
"Haha, we just used a mere 200,000 stones of food and grass to let the Mongolian right wing and the Dzunggar Khanate fight each other, let them bite each other, and we reap the benefits. I really like this plan!"
"This plan has greatly reduced the damage, obstacles, and time for our army to regain the Loop, creating the best situation. Mr. Zhao's ingenious calculation... Oh, and Mr. Liang Ge's thoughtful thinking, I can only do this
I am amazed in my heart!"
For this plan, Zhao Junchen has been preparing for a long time, and he has been working hard to conceive it for many days. During this period, it included hundreds of deductions and deliberations.
There are also people with great vision and wisdom, but they are unable to come up with a more brilliant plan in a hurry.
What's more, this plan not only reduced the difficulty and loss of recovering the Hetao, but also brought the greatest benefits to the civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu!
According to Zhao Junchen's plan, when the Shaanxi-Gansu armies set out to attack Hetao as the vanguard of the imperial court, the Mongolian right-wing armies had already been mobilized from the mountains to pursue the Bagan and Junggar cavalry. The Shaanxi-Gansu armies took advantage of the lack of troops in the Hetao Plain to prepare for the attack.
Empty opportunities can easily yield the greatest results; when the Mongolian right-wing army comes to their senses and discovers the changes in the Hetao Plain, reinforcements from various places in the imperial court will arrive one after another to help the armies in Shaanxi and Gansu resist together.
Counterattack.
In this way, the armies of Shaanxi and Gansu would gain the most and risk the least. All the civil and military officials present would also take advantage, so even if they could think of a more reliable strategy, they would never propose it.
In this way, all the officials once again praised Zhao Junchen's plan, saying that they had no objections.
Of course, when the officials praised Liang Fuchen this time, they also mentioned Liang Fuchen, but it was just in passing, and their sincerity and attitude were completely different.
Seeing the performance of all the officials, Liang Fuchen finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
It stands to reason that Liang Fuchen is the senior minister of the imperial court and an imperial envoy, so he should never receive such cold treatment. However, there is no airtight wall in this world. Even Zhao Junchen has been "trying his best to cover up" the fact that Liang Fuchen was kidnapped by horse bandits.
The news still spread, and all high-level officials in Shaanxi and Gansu learned the news. This incident greatly damaged his prestige and made all officials subconsciously feel contemptuous.
If that were the case, all the officials would at least maintain their superficial obedience. However, Liang Fuchen was accompanied by Zhao Junchen, who performed dazzlingly and had great military exploits. Zhao Junchen's status was slightly inferior to Liang Fuchen's, but his prestige and connections were much stronger.
, it is regarded as a thicker thigh by the officials, and naturally they hug it tightly at all times and dare not let it go.
Of course, this is also because the officials do not know that Zhao Junchen will return to the capital soon. If they learn such news, they will probably change their attitude.
Liang Fuchen also understood the thoughts of the officials, and became increasingly hostile to Zhao Junchen, who was suspected of instigating the horse bandits to kidnap him.
But in the end, Liang Fuchen still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. He just turned his head and looked at Zhao Junchen deeply, and then began to calmly dispatch his troops and arrange tasks for the officials.
Among them, civilian officials are responsible for logistics and organization, and military attaches are responsible for attacking and plundering. Different details and tasks are arranged according to the jurisdiction and location of each official. These are what the title should mean. Liang Fuchen's work
He is very capable and has a very good strategic vision. His arrangements are all reasonable and well thought out, leaving no room for fault.
According to the arrangement discussed in advance by Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen, the Shaanxi and Gansu armies will attack with all their strength this time, divided into three groups, attacking the Hetao Plain from different directions, and capturing the entire Hetao Plain with thunderous momentum in the shortest possible time.
!
During this period, various armies will plunder cattle, sheep, horses, and various supplies in Ordos, and arrest all the women, children, and elderly people of the Ordos tribe. This will take away the Ordos tribe’s potential for subsequent wars and, by the way, undermine the Ordos tribe’s will to fight.
and the determination of the Mongolian right-wing tribes to help.
After the three armies invade the Hetao Plain, the middle army will play the most important role, because this army will go straight to the royal tent of the Ordos tribe and be responsible for capturing alive all the leaders and nobles of the Ordos tribe, including Qiyan.
The armies on the left and right must cooperate with the army in the middle!
Depending on the final results of the middle army, subsequent plans will be adjusted differently.
If the army in the middle could capture all the Ordos nobles including Qi Yan and Qi Gemu in one fell swoop, the Ming army would undoubtedly take advantage in the subsequent war.
The role of the central army is so important, so the commander of the central army will also take into account the task of commanding the entire army.
As a result, everyone is naturally keeping an eye on the candidate for the head coach of the middle army. This position not only has the most power, but also has the possibility of reaping the most glorious military achievements. Once Qiyan, the leader of the Mongolian right wing, is captured alive, he will definitely
He became a contemporary hero who attracted worldwide attention and passed down through the ages.
Therefore, when Liang Fuchen talked about the candidate for the general of the central army, all the generals who thought they were qualified took the initiative to ask for orders.
*
"Mr. Liang Ge, among the major military towns on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, the soldiers in Gansu military towns are the most brave and elite. This is a recognized fact. I am not bragging in Jinhuyuan. There are more than 30,000 soldiers in Gansu military towns.
Now we are in the Huamachi camp, ready to be dispatched at any time. The important task of the army in the middle is naturally the most suitable for me in Gansu Military Town to shoulder! As for the candidate for the general of the middle, I, Jin Huyuan, will also do my part!"
After Liang Fuchen finished talking about the mission of the Central Army, Jin Huyuan, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Military Town, jumped out impatiently.
When expressing his stance, Jin Huyuan's expression could be described as menacing. He opened his tiger eyes angrily and glanced at all the military attachés present. He looked as if you would completely offend me if you dare to rob him, but he wanted to make the other military attachés give in.
It's a pity that, seeing the great benefits, who would care about Jin Huyuan's threat?
As soon as Jin Huyuan finished speaking, he saw Lin Huishi, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, standing up and saying: "Mr. Liang Ge and Mr. Zhao clearly understand that our Ningxia military town borders the Hetao. Not only is it the closest, we are also most familiar with the situation of the Ordos tribe and the Hetao Plain.
, the task of this middle army should be given to me, Ningxia Military Town!"
Lin Huishi has always been a timid character. After hearing the imperial decree to send troops to the grassland just now, he has been feeling uneasy and frightened, fearing that Liang Fuchen would call his name and send him to the grassland to commit danger.
But now that he has seen the benefits, his attitude has changed drastically. He has changed his timid appearance in the past, as if the Mongolian cavalry were just chickens and dogs.
Next, Yulin Commander-in-Chief Wang Yan, Liangzhou Commander-in-Chief Cai He, Shendaoling Sanshan Army Commander Ma Ling, Yansui Commander-in-Chief Gao De, and Xing'an Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ximen Gui all expressed their opinions enthusiastically, unwilling to be outdone.
, take the initiative to ask for help.
For a moment, in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, there was a scene of generals taking the lead bravely.
If people who don't understand the situation see this kind of scene, they will probably think that the border troops in all parts of Shaanxi and Gansu are all brave and elite soldiers, and the military attachés in all parts of Shaanxi and Gansu are all brave generals who do not care about their own lives.
But Liang Fuchen was well aware of the corrupt situation of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army, and also understood that none of these military attachés could be entrusted with important responsibilities. Now they were only focusing on the benefits, but if there was a slight setback during the war, they would probably
There was a reluctance in my heart, and the whole situation would definitely be ruined when the time comes.
Liang Fuchen had a better candidate in mind, and that was Guan Wuyuan, who was brave, courageous and capable of fighting!
Although Liang Fuchen vaguely noticed that Guan Wuyuan was slightly deficient in military strategy and improvisation during the exchange with Guan Wuyuan, the mission of the middle army was just to attack directly at the Ordos tribe's base camp and royal tent, and did not require much strategy.
With the art of war, the most important thing is the courage to move forward. This aspect is also Guan Wuyuan's advantage!
Unlike these military attachés who were just competing for benefits, Guan Wuyuan dared to ask Liang Fuchen for help when he didn't know the detailed plan. Even Liang Fuchen was amazed by his courage and responsibility. When Guan Wuyuan was stationed in Jiezhou City, he repeatedly blocked
The strong attack by the Mongolian coalition forces further illustrates Guan Wuyuan's tough character!
In this way, after Guan Wuyuan became the commander-in-chief of the central army, he would definitely be fearless and persevering, and would never have any fear of retreat. As for the deficiencies in military strategy and adaptability, naturally there were military staff who were responsible for making suggestions.
Of course, according to Liang Fuchen's plan, he would also hand over the "Patriot Army" to Commander Guan Wuyuan at the same time to increase the chance of victory for the army in the middle.
Therefore, after all the military attaches requested orders, Liang Fuchen said: "According to my opinion, it is better to leave the task of the middle army to Commander Guan and the Forbidden Army reinforcements! When Commander Guan led the Forbidden Army to support Shaanxi and Gansu,
, was once conferred by His Majesty as the Supreme Protector, and his status is enough to command the three armies. His military achievements are also sufficient. When he was stationed in Jiezhou City some time ago, he held back the Mongolian coalition forces. Repeated attacks by the Mongolian coalition forces returned in vain.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that he takes the greatest credit, and General Guan’s ability to lead troops in combat has also been fully demonstrated, so he is the best candidate."
Seeing Liang Fuchen carrying Guan Wuyuan out, the generals and commanders couldn't help but feel weak.
As Liang Fuchen said, Guan Wuyuan's status, military achievements, and reputation are all sufficient to take on important tasks, and these generals and commanders cannot compete with him.
However, Zhao Junchen, who had always expressed his agreement when Liang Fuchen laid out plans and tasks, suddenly said: "General Guan is naturally a suitable candidate, but in the eyes of this junior, the two generals He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan
His achievements and reputation are also not weak, and he can also take on big responsibilities."
Seeing Zhao Junchen suddenly jumping out to sing the opposite, Liang Fuchen frowned immediately.
But the more Zhao Junchen didn't want to use Guan Wuyuan, the more Liang Fuchen trusted Guan Wuyuan.
Therefore, Liang Fuchen did not give in this time and said: "He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan are certainly good people, but He Zhang has no soldiers under his command now. Even if some troops are hastily deployed for him, they will not be able to control them. Mr. Fang
The Guyuan frontier army under Bing suffered heavy losses during the three battles of Xiaochuanhe, Zhenningwei, and Weishui, and was lacking in strength. On the contrary, the 50,000 Forbidden Army reinforcements under General Guan were well-equipped and had a large number of troops, making them the most suitable.
Choose!"
Seeing what Zhao Junchen was about to say, Liang Fuchen's attitude became even stronger and said: "Sir Zhao, you are just the deputy imperial envoy, and you are just assisting me! I have made up my mind, and it is safest to give such an important task to General Guan.
!”
As if to echo Liang Fuchen, Guan Wuyuan stood up with a firm expression and said: "I guarantee that I will complete the task. I will take the lead and go straight to the Ordos king's tent. God will kill the god, and the Buddha will kill the Buddha! Otherwise, come and see me!"
Seeing Liang Fuchen's tough attitude, Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment and then said: "If that's the case, how about letting General Fang serve as the commander-in-chief of the left army, and He Zhang be responsible for assisting?"
This was an open deal. What Zhao Junchen meant was that if Liang Fuchen agreed to let Fang Zhenshan be the commander-in-chief of the left army, he would agree to let Guan Wuyuan be the commander-in-chief of the center army and the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Considering that Zhao Junchen is currently in the limelight and he still needs Zhao Junchen's continued cooperation, Liang Fuchen pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "General Fang also has outstanding military achievements, so it is appropriate for him to serve as the main general on the left."
"That's good!" Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen's eyes flashed, both thinking they had guessed what the other was thinking.
In Liang Fuchen's view, Zhao Junchen put Fang Zhenshan and He Zhang in charge of the left army just to pick up the slack, because if the middle army could not capture Qi Yan, Qi Gemu and others alive, they would definitely move to the left.
Escape, after all, there is the main force of the Mongolian right wing, and maybe Fang Zhenshan and He Zhang can take advantage.
However, Liang Fuchen believed that Zhao Junchen would definitely steal the chicken but lose the rice, because after the Hetao area was taken away by the Han army, the Mongolian right-wing army would inevitably return urgently for reinforcements, and the left-wing army would also bear the brunt by then.
A disastrous defeat is about to happen, and at that time, Fang Zhenshan and He Zhang will also be held responsible for the defeat.
But in Zhao Junchen's opinion, it is most suitable for Fang Zhenshan and He Zhang to be in charge of the left army. Not only do they have opportunities to pick up mistakes, but they also have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds in combat.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen secured the position of commander of the left army for Fang Zhenshan this time just to gain credit for his own people.
Zhao Junchen was not worried about the combat effectiveness of Fang Zhenshan's army.
Because, after Zhao Junchen disbanded the new army of soldiers, half of the soldiers became Fang Zhenshan's private soldiers in name.
After these soldiers follow Fang Zhenshan into the grassland, they can gain maximum military merit and achievements!
Of course, Zhao Junchen also knew that as the Mongolian right-wing army rushed back to Hetao for support, the left-wing army alone would be unable to resist.
However, Fang Zhenshan's wit, He Zhang's experience, and the combat power of these new soldiers were enough to ensure that the army on the left retreated in time.

Chongzi's mentality is very good, as you can tell from the several times he ridiculed himself during this period. Don't worry, just read the book.
