Chapter 1217: Battle Plan
Chang Yu was already a little drunk at this time, and looked around when he heard the words: "Before we say it, I want to hear your opinions."
However, after what happened last night, Xu Hongji and others dared to get an axe in front of him, saying that he had been mad at defending Nanjing City, and he couldn't think of any other suggestions, so he smiled: "Now that the government and the opposition are all saying that no one is on the right side of Chang Gonggong, we will not be ugly, I want to hear Chang Gonggong's high opinion."
"Since you don't say it, then we won't say it either" Chang Yu laughed and turned his head to look at Li Muxian: "Captain Fang Dao, you have a lot of wine and a lot of food, it's time to start your performance."
Li Muxian smiled, took a drink from the wine glass and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then got up and waved his hand: "On the poor side, I said for Lord Duke, and then said to Chang Yu, if there is any deviation, please correct it."
Chang Yu was silent and concentrated on eating, Xu Hongji and the others were no longer surprised, since this Taoist priest could accompany the little eunuch to the table and was his confidant, what kind of opinion did the Taoist chief have, we would listen to it.
"Without him, attack is defense!" Li Muxian raised his eyebrows when everyone listened to the faint sentence, and Liu Kongzhi arched his hand: "Can the Taoist chief be more detailed, the thieves are coercing hundreds of thousands of homeless people, even if the combat strength is insufficient, but the advantage of more people makes up for the shortcomings, on the other hand, if we have the advantage of city defense, why don't we use defense as an attack to consume the thief army?" ”
Li Muxian smiled: "If we are consumed by defending as an attack, we will even be trapped by it, the tactics of the thief army have always been to plunder wherever they go, their food and troops can be replenished anytime and anywhere, how can we consume him when we hide in the city?" It's us who consume it."
This...... Everyone frowned, and Li Muxian continued: "Nanjing's city defense is strong, but if the thief army surrounds Nanjing and builds fortifications on the bank of the Yangtze River, so that Jiangbei reinforcements can't pass, then Nanjing will become a lonely city, how long can we afford it?" ”
Xu Hongji looked at each other and said nothing, this Taoist priest is right, today's thief army is powerful and influential, the people are no longer as they did a few years ago, and even the thief army does not have to be coerced to voluntarily join the gang when they cross the border, after all, there is a future for rebellion in this year, that is, in this situation, if the north of Nanjing is encircled, the people of the surrounding state capitals will take the opportunity to respond, Jiangnan has no troops to help, Jiangbei can't come, at that time, it is not to defend as an attack, but to trap yourself alive, and the final result is either to break the city or surrender!
"But Nanjing is one of the two capitals, and it is too risky to go out of the city to take the initiative to attack" Tang Guozuo said with a solemn expression, and everyone agreed, Li Muxian snorted: "This is natural, and it is still necessary to stay in the regular way."
Xu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chang Yu and said: "Nanjing is attacking with defense, and Gonggong Chang leads his troops to attack from the opposite bank, so the two-pronged thief army definitely can't resist the two-sided attack, and the only tricky thing is that the reinforcements will be fiercely counterattacked by the thief army when they cross the river."
Chang Yu smiled and didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip of it and motioned for Li Muxian to continue.
Li Muxian nodded: "Grandpa Guo is half right, Lord Duke's plan is indeed a two-sided attack, but we can't go to Jiang!" ”
Yes! Xu Hongji and the others were shocked, but how did Jiang Na attack?
Liu Kongzhi frowned: "Dao Chief, can you stop selling Guanzi" Li Muxian was slightly embarrassed, his profession and personality dictated that he always said half and left half when he spoke, which was really annoying.
"To put it simply, Nanjing City left half of its soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the other went out of the city to meet the thief army, and the reinforcements pretended to cross the river on the opposite bank to attract the attention of the thief army to distract its troops, and at the same time secretly Chen Cang went south to recover Anqing while it was unprepared." Li Muxian finally gave it all up, but Xu Hongji and Liu Kongzhi were surprised for a long time and said a sentence.
This battle plan is indeed perfect, but! Listening to this means that the reinforcements are not more than the river, and the task of fighting the thief army head-on will all fall on the local soldiers and horses, and half of the Nanjing army is only 20,000 and there has been no actual combat for many years, how to fight against the hundreds of thousands of thieves, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg!
"Father-in-law Chang, is that really the case?" Xu Hongji couldn't hold it anymore.
"Are you scared?" Chang Yu smiled and said, Xu Hongji didn't know how to answer, Liu Kongzhi took over the conversation: "It's not a matter of being afraid or not, but whether it is too light to resist the enemy with 20,000 soldiers and horses, please think twice."
Chang Yu smiled, and his smile was a little sarcastic: "This is really something that is not afraid or not, and it has nothing to do with whether you underestimate the enemy or not" He said and stood up and looked around at everyone: "If you have nothing to fear, although tens of millions of people will go to me!" On the contrary, if you are afraid, you will give you a million heavenly soldiers, and it will be in vain."
Everyone was silent, Chang Yu sneered, he could see that these people were afraid, because they had never fought before, and because the thief army had been in the limelight in recent years, hundreds of thousands of people swept over at every turn.
"Master Chang, are you afraid?" Chang Yu suddenly looked at Chang Yanling and smiled.
Everyone looked at Qiao Yanling, and saw that he also smiled slightly: "But what is the fear of the horse leather shroud, which of our ancestors is not a famous general who has been beaten by the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, we can't lose the face of our ancestors."
These words were loud, but they made Xu Hongji and the others embarrassed, and what Chang Yanling said really made them embarrassed.
"Lu Shangshu, you are terrible?" Chang Yu looked at Lu Daqi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the sixty-year-old civil official smiled indifferently: "The lower official has been fighting with the thief for more than a year, is it possible that he will be afraid of the thief, or that the Duke of the Governor can't look down on the old man of the lower official."
"Don't dare, don't dare" Chang Yu hurriedly arched his hand: "Lord Lu has rich experience in fighting the thief army in the south, and this time I want to borrow from you, if Lord Lu is willing to help, how about you take command this time?" ”
Lu Daqi did not shirk it, and happily agreed: "It is an extreme honor to be valued by the god of war."
Chang Yu laughed: "The god of war doesn't dare to stand it, it's just to kill a few more thieves", and turned his head to look at Xu Hongji as he spoke: "Grandpa Guo, would you like to help our family?" ”
Xu Hongji hurriedly stood up: "The duty is but according to the order" After all, Chang Yu was ordered to supervise the army, and he had the right to transfer troops, although he was the grandfather of the country, he had to obediently obey the order.
"That being the case, the Governor will do the duty of overseeing the army" Chang Yu looked around, and everyone fought when they heard this: "But it is up to the Governor to dispatch."
"Lu Daqi hangs the seal of the commander, Xu Guogong is the front army, Chang Hou Ye leads the Chinese army, Funing Hou, Xin Chengbo leads 20,000 soldiers out of the city with the governor to meet the thief army, Shi Shangshu cooperates with the nobles in the city to defend the city, do you have any objections?" Chang Yu said that his eyes drew the country on everyone's faces one by one, and it was really wonderful.
Among them, Xu Hongji's face was the most embarrassing, he thought that Chang Yu let Lu Daqi take command and go out of the city to break the enemy, and his idle errand of defending the city should fall on his head, but unexpectedly he was sent to the front line with Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi, which made him wonder for a while whether the little eunuch was deliberately trying to retaliate or just a coincidence.
Although he was puzzled, he couldn't say anything about this arrangement, after all, they were all behind the gate, and it was their duty to raise troops to kill the enemy, and it was their fate after the gate.
Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi secretly exchanged glances, and their hearts were naturally full of various conspiracy theories, but they couldn't say anything either, but Liu Kongzhi said out loud: "Can you see the world with the army?"
"What I ask for" Chang Yu smiled: "I have heard that the sincerity of Uncle is resourceful, and I hope to give him advice when the time comes."
"Don't dare, don't dare" Liu Kongzhi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's not as good as talking on paper as much as the Lord Overseer's strategy......"
Hey, this Liu Kongzhi's brain is broken, how good it was to stay in the city, why do you have to follow out of the city head-on, don't you know the danger, now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses on hand, and the thief army is more than 100,000 or 200,000.
"Within three days, prepare all the grain and grass to mobilize the soldiers, and follow the governor out of the city to break the enemy" Chang Yu picked up his wine glass: "What is the point of my generation not being able to rely on the drunken dream of dying like the ancestors Yu Yin, why not let go of the lintel of the glorious gate for meritorious service in a war, and be proud of the world like the ancestors!" ”
Just such a short sentence, but Xu Hongzu, who had their own thoughts just now, had a strange feeling in their hearts, and they raised their glasses one after another: "Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”
