Chapter 1407 - Deployment of Troops
Lushan is a very big mountain, with more than 170 peaks, Jiujiang in its north, De'an in its south, and Xingzi County in its east.
Xingzi County was named after the falling star pier in the territory, and it was changed to Lushan City in the eighties.
Chang Yu engaged in team building, and ordered the nearby generals such as Liu Liangzuo, Liu Wenbing, Lu Daqi, and Wang Tizhong to gather more than ten people here.
Poyang Lake, Lushan Waterfall, Luoxingdun, Donglin Temple...... Chang Yu took a group of generals to tour the mountains and rivers, but he hated that there was no camera in these years, otherwise he would take pictures anytime and anywhere.
At this time, the situation gradually became clear, Bai Wang and his thief army had disappeared into the past, and the rest of the people's livelihood and government dispatch were the affairs of the imperial court and had nothing to do with the military.
For them, the only unstable factor at the moment is Zuo Liangyu, if Zuo Liangyu is obedient, then the army can return to the dynasty and recuperate.
Therefore, it seems that he is not waiting for Zuo Liangyu's reaction.
Zuo Liangyu and his staff didn't calculate that Chang Yu would let him come back less than half an hour before and after seeing Zuo Mengeng, and for Zuo Mengeng, it was a glimpse.
Previously, Chang Yu wrote a letter asking Zuo Mengeng to go to Jiujiang to see him, Zuo Liangyu and others deduced that this was to take Zuo Mengeng as a hostage, and for the sake of the overall situation, Zuo Liangyu decided to compromise for the time being.
I didn't know that my son had just walked and came back, and Dad, I went ashore and stood for a while, and he looked at me and let me come back......
Zuo Liangyu's stunned state at that time was no less than Yuan Jixian's reaction at that time. His subordinates and staff were also confused, figuring out what tricks the little eunuch was playing.
Until, Zuo Mengeng said the two sentences brought by Chang Yu: If you don't fight Jingzhou, I will fight you, if you don't believe it, you can try, anyway, Lao Tzu is invincible in war.
This tone is really arrogant, although everyone thinks it is ridiculous, but one by one they have solemn faces and no one laughs.
Since this eunuch can say such arrogant words, he is not a mouthful, he is really powerful, not to mention his record in the north, it is that in this short period of time, it can be seen that he is strong enough to capture Bai Wang, not to mention that his subordinates are like clouds.
"What kind of man is he?" Zuo Liangyu squinted and asked.
"It's not as good as a weak crown, but the murderous aura on his body is very strong, obviously he is just riding on a horse at random, but at a glance, it looks like a killing god who has just rushed out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, like a god descending from the earth!" Zuo Mengeng got goosebumps when he spoke, and Chang Yu left him too much shadow at that time.
These words made Zuo Liangyu pout: "The gods descend to earth, hum."
"Father, what the child said is true, Huang Degong and Gao Jie were by his side at that time, but the momentum of the two of them was crushed by him......" Zuo Mengeng was a little anxious, for fear that his father would underestimate his opponent.
Sure enough, Zuo Liangyu's brows furrowed, he knew what kind of people Gao Jie and Huang Degong were, and it was really not easy for such two ruthless characters to be subdued by him.
"Can you see Wu Sangui and Ma Ke?" Huang Shu asked
Zuo Mengeng shook his head: "I don't know the two of them, but what I saw shouldn't be there, by the way, Yuan Jixian is here."
"Where's Jin Shenghuan?" Zuo Liangyu asked again.
"I didn't see it" Zuo Mengeng seemed to have lost his soul: "Father, he asked us to fight Jingzhou, did you fight?" ”
Zuo Liangyu's face was pale, and he turned his head to look at Huang Shu next to him.
Huang Shu bit his lip, his eyes swept over everyone, and then fell on Zuo Liangyu: "Fight."
When everyone heard this, they immediately couldn't sit still: "If you fight with the thief, you will lose both, won't you be in the middle of the fight."
Huang Shu sighed: "I can't bear to make a big plan, we can't fight back when the time comes, and if we don't oppose it, we have to continue to swallow our anger and listen to the court, but the eunuch only said let us fight, and didn't say that we must fight down, right?"
Everyone came back to their senses and smiled tacitly, so let's make a show and go through the motions.
So Chang Yu, who was still playing in the mountains and rivers, soon received the news from Zuo Liangyu's side: he was ordered to act.
At that time, the first to get the news was Yuan Jixian, who was sitting in Jiujiang, and was stunned for nearly half a cup of tea after hearing the news, and then sighed: The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the new people replace the old people.
It's just that Chang Yu in Xingzi County reacted mediocrely, which he expected, and even Li Yan and Li Muxian guessed the intention behind Zuo Liangyu's order.
It's still a plan to delay it.
But Chang Yu is already very satisfied with this situation.
After all, you can't press Zuo Liangyu's head and say: You have to beat Jingzhou for me, if you can't beat it, I will beat you, without saying that, no one can guarantee that you must be able to beat it down, not to mention that Chang Yu has no strength to overturn Zuo Liangyu at this time, and he didn't say anything wrong, and you have no excuse to beat him.
But no matter whether he is yang or not, as long as he does it, don't underestimate it, but it can make Jingzhou's thief army like a big enemy, so that the thief army in Jingzhou and Xiangyang can be contained, and Chang Yu can let go of his hands and feet to fight Xi'an with all his might, which is the essence of his plan.
After reaching a well-known agreement with Zuo Liangyu, all that remains is how to fool Wang Tizhong.
Jiujiang must send a general to garrison, who is the most suitable, Chang Yu will go through the generals under his command and finally select Wang Tizhong.
Many people will definitely feel like Yuan Jixian that as soon as he surrendered, you let him garrison Jiujiang, aren't you afraid that he will occupy Jiujiang City in vain?
Unafraid.
Because he didn't have to.
The reason why he chose to surrender was that he had already seen the situation clearly: there was no future for being a thief.
What's more, at this time, he has great military achievements, why should he be a thief if a good court general doesn't do it?
Isn't it fragrant to be the uncle of the Ming Dynasty?
That's right, Chang Yu is going to hang him with this Count of Daming, and let him do his best to defend Jiujiang.
This is also what Li Yan and Li Muxian said before, hang him for two months.
It is said that after Chang Yu chatted privately with Wang Tizhong, at the banquet that night, Wang Tizhong could not hide his excitement, and all the people present toasted again, and they were drunk and drunk, and finally drunk like mud, muttering indistinctly in his mouth: My old Wang's ancestral tomb is smoking, .......
This is not an ordinary banquet, in addition to celebrating, it is also necessary to decide the transfer and arrangement of the next troops.
After some discussion, Chang Yu decided to transfer Wang Tizhong to Jiujiang to assist Yuan Jixian in garrisoning, Huang Degong's troops in Anqing, Liu Liangzuo's troops in Luzhou, Gao Jie's troops in Xuzhou, Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji and others led their troops back to Nanjing, Liu Wenbing, Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shichun in Kaifeng, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Wu Weiying in Luoyang, and the original Liu Zeqing in Li Yan's command to open Puzhou.
Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that Chang Yu's intention to deploy along the line of Anqing, Luzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang is obvious, pointing at Xi'an, guarding against Wuchang, and no matter which end of the fight can be the fastest to throw the soldiers and horses over.
As for Liu Zeqing's old department, it was fragrant, and everyone in the generals had a piece of the pie, but they were all transferred to Li Yan by Chang Yuli, the reason was very simple and sufficient, Li Yan had 8,000 soldiers and horses when he came over, and more than half of the successive battles in the past few months had been lost, and there were two or three thousand people under the command of one of the eight pillars of the Ming Dynasty, a dignified thief general? That's the past!
Secondly, although Liu Zeqing hiccuped, his subordinates are all ruthless characters, and ordinary people really can't control the scene.
But it is different when transferred to Li Yan, he has a hard reputation in the army, a good image, and a good strategy and ability to fight to convince them, and Li Yan is the Eight Great Pillars and Chang Yu is convinced, and he has a future with him.
It stands to reason that the generals' adjustment of defense should be discussed by the imperial court and handed over to the military department and the governor's office of the five armies for implementation, but at present, the military action of the Ming Dynasty is not so much a decision of the imperial court, but a direct decision by Chang Yu, which is more realistic.
Because in terms of how to dispatch troops and march to fight, no one in the cabinet and courtiers dares to point fingers anymore, and Guan Gong is not qualified to play a big knife in front of him.
Besides, Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is his own person, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Liu Wenbing, Zhang Qingzhen, etc., his own people, and in addition to the big man in the palace, his own people!
As for the procedures such as the imperial court's troop transfer order, Chang Yu will approve it immediately as long as he has a mouth, for Emperor Chongzhen, the boss behind the scenes, as long as you can destroy the thieves for me, let alone the troop transfer order, I can give you a few whole songs as a dream.
Therefore, the adjustment of defense is a small matter, and the problem of food and grass supply is a headache for everyone, especially Chang Yu, and all departments have tens of thousands of mouths at every turn, and they have to consume tens of thousands of catties of food a day, which is really a lot of pressure on the overstretched imperial court, at this time, don't think about fighting Zuo Liangyu or recovering Xi'an City, just fill your stomach first and don't starve to death.
Therefore, Chang Yu's eyes were on Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi, because Xu Hongji was still in Chizhou at this time, otherwise he should be as involuntarily trembling as Zhao and Zhu.
Although Chang Yu is still open, his eyes have already explained everything, and he will give it a little more.
Previously, he ate soft rice and hard food in Nanjing, and forced these nobles to donate some food to support the supply of 20,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing.
In addition to Anqing, the rest of the war with Baiwang has been very small, but it has made a lot of money.
"How about we go back and discuss this matter with Xu Guogong and then reply to the Overseer?" Zhu Guobi was particularly afraid of Chang Yu, because he had beaten him and fought with him for a period of time, he saw the power of the little eunuch, which was from the bottom of his heart.
"It's okay, no matter how you discuss, either give food or money" Chang Yu said casually, hearing Lu Daqi covering his mouth and coughing, obviously choked, Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi's faces were very embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say no, so they asked in a low voice: "Lord Overseer said a number, let's see if we can make it up."
"Look at your intentions, do your best, this matter is not for our family but for the court, we have to share the king's worries, your family's great cause is not worse than that......" Chang Yu began to buckle his hat again: "Nanjing is rich and has not suffered from natural disasters and military disasters, the people are self-sufficient, and there are many rich gentry in the city, Lu Shangshu can preside over a fundraiser after he goes back, one side is in difficulty and all parties support it, no matter how poor and bitter it is, the soldiers cannot be starved, otherwise who will protect the family and defend the country."
Lu Daqi especially ate this set, and praised it when he heard it: "One side is in trouble and all sides support, the Lord Overseer said this well, and the lower officials will go back and do their best."
"Then there is Lao Lu Shangshu" Chang Yu arched his hand: "Mobilize the people of Nanjing City to donate grain, reflecting the family of the army and the people, and building the Chinese dream together...... Oh no, that big dream".
