"Xue Dingshan and Yue Yun are the same age. They have the same potential, the same strength, and the same background. They have always regarded each other as competitors.
Yue Yun has been following Yue Fei, fighting with his father. After being tempered in battles, he not only reached the peak attributes early, but also surpassed himself and became the God of War.
Xue Dingshan's potential is no lower than Yue Yun, but he has wasted a lot of time, and now he has been surpassed by Yue Fei in terms of force.
However, Xue Dingshan is still young, and although he has taken some detours, as long as he keeps catching up, he may not be unable to catch up with Yue Yun in the future."
Qin Hao thought secretly in his heart and decided to train Xue Dingshan. After all, there are too few people like him who have high command and martial arts, good looks and general talents.
Qin Hao valued Xue Dingshan more than Yue Yun. After all, Yue Yun was a fierce general specializing in martial arts, while Xue Dingshan was not only strong in force, but also had the potential to become a famous general.
Between powerful generals and famous generals, after all, famous generals are more popular. Even if the Qin Army is not short of famous generals, Qin Hao will not dislike having too many famous generals under his command.
The arrival of Xue Rengui made the Qin army stronger.
At present, the Qin army in Youbeiping has the following commanders who can command an army alone: Bai Qi, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing, Long Qie, Wei Qing, and Gongsun Xuanyuan;
In addition to the above seven people, Qin Hao, as the lord, can also lead the army alone.
The military advisors include: Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Wen Zhong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xun Kan;
In order to prepare for the final decisive battle with the Manchus, Qin Hao specially transferred back Liu Bowen who had stayed in Tianjin Port, and also transferred Wen Zhong, Tian Feng, Xun Kan, Ju Shuo and others.
Although Tian Feng Jushou and others were appointed as prefects, it did not mean that they could not go to the front line. All they had to do was arrange the physical items in the county properly before leaving, or hand them over directly to the county magistrate.
As for the generals in the army, they are countless, namely: Sun Lingming, Jia Fu, Lu Bu, Zhou Yafu, Zhang Han, Hu Luguang, Duan Shao, Jiang Ji, Luo Cheng, Qin Yi, Yue Xi, Li Jin,
Yu Ziqi, Ding Yanping, Su Xian, Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Hulv Qiangju, Cao Jingzong, Zhu Ling, Bian Xiang, Han Xun, Tian Yu, Li Ling, Li Gan, Gongsun Yu, Gongsun He, Han Zeng,
Xue Dingshan...
The above are all generals who are already in Youbeiping. There are also a large number of generals on the Qingzhou Navy who are not in Youbeiping but can participate in the war, such as Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, Jintai, Taishi Ci, Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, and Lin Chong.
, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Shi Wengong, Shi Jin...
————————
After learning about some of the situation on the front line, Xue Rengui was immediately surprised. He couldn't believe that with the elite soldiers and generals on his own side gathered together, he had only defeated more than 20,000 Qing troops after fighting for so long. This really surprised him.
.
Qin Hao saw Xue Rengui's doubts and explained to him: "When our army was on the defensive, the Qing army only besieged but not attacked. But soon after the reinforcements arrived, the Manchu Qing turned offensive to defensive and rarely took the initiative to fight. Even if
The number of troops deployed will not exceed five thousand.
Therefore, since the beginning of the war, there have been many battles between the enemy and ourselves, but the scale has been very small, with the largest one involving only 5,000 people."
"I see."
Xue Rengui showed a look of surprise, and at this moment Qin Hao said: "From the beginning of the war to the present, the battle situation in Youbeiping can be divided into two stages. The first stage is when the Qing Dynasty attacks the Qin defenders; the second phase is when the Qin army attacks the Qing defenders;
During these two stages, our army fought against the Manchus twenty-three times. The largest deployment of troops was the one to assist General Jia Fu. A total of 40,000 troops were dispatched, but the war did not officially begin.
In twenty-three battles, our army wiped out a total of more than 20,000 enemies and killed 38 enemy generals, eight of whom died at the hands of General Jia Fu. However, our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, with four generals killed.
Among them, there are two generals and two captains."
At this point, Qin Hao walked to the sand table in the middle of the hall, pointed to the layout above, and continued: "Now there are still thirty armies left in the Qing Dynasty. Taking the two counties of Wuzhu and Junmi with a radius of a hundred miles, in
Fifty large camps were set up in dangerous places such as mountains, rivers, etc. The camps were connected and echoed from end to end. It could be said that they could advance, attack, retreat or defend.
Previously, the strength of our army was smaller than that of the Qing army. If we forcefully attack the stronghold and capture the fifty fortified strongholds one by one, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Even if the Manchus are eventually driven out of Youbeiping, the gain will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, I have not launched a decisive battle for a long time, but am preparing to use strategies to lure the snake out of its hole.
However, Nurhachi did not want to be too cautious. Faced with the temptation of our army, he would not be fooled at all. Even if he could not stand it, he would send troops to fight, and the number of troops would not be too large. This led to a stalemate on the front line.
Among the twenty-three battles, excluding fighting generals, there were only five true hand-to-hand battles.
Now it seems that Nurhachi does not want our army to fight at all, and the reason why he is sinking his troops is just to hold back the main force of our army and prevent the more than 200,000 elite troops from being deployed elsewhere."
"My lord is right."
Tian Feng stood up and said: "The Qing Dynasty's pre-war preparations were insufficient, and there were a large number of Liao soldiers in the army... Chen Guo surrendered his troops, and their combat power was weak. With such an army, it is impossible to defeat our army, let alone
Let alone seizing Youzhou."
Tian Feng originally wanted to talk about the Liao Kingdom, but when he saw Gongsun Xuanyuan frowning at him, he immediately realized that the Liao Kingdom had long been usurped by Gongsun Shu, and Chen Baxian usurped Liao as Chen, but was ignored by the local aristocratic family, so it was
The Chen State surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not the Liao State, so they quickly changed their tune.
After hearing what Tian Feng said, Qin Hao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Nurhachi knew this but still persisted. It can be seen that he just wanted to delay our army.
Nurhaci thought that he could afford it, but Qin could not afford it, but he did not know that our army could also afford it. Even if the stalemate lasted for a year and a half, our army would still be able to withstand it, but his Manchu and Qing Dynasty's food and grass would definitely be able to withstand it.
It won’t be that long.”
Hearing Qin Hao's words, the generals were relieved. They were not afraid of going to war with the Qing Dynasty, but they were afraid that there would be insufficient food and grass during the war.
You must know that the Qin Army is currently fighting against the four major forces of the Qing Dynasty, Tang State, Chu State, and Shu State. With the multi-front fighting, each front is consuming a large amount of food and grass, and the food and grass consumed every day is astronomical.
If food and grass cannot support it, then it will not only affect one front, but all fronts will be affected. How can people not worry about this?
Qin Hao knew the worries of the generals, so he directly told everyone that our food and grass were enough, so that everyone could fight with peace of mind.
However, although there was no problem with the Qin army's food supply, an incident occurred that forced Qin Hao to end the war as soon as possible, and this incident resulted in Liu Xie's death.
