"Don't have to?"

After hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, everyone felt incomprehensible.

Most of them know what the actual combat strength of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army is.

In short, most of the ordinary border troops were old and weak, and in essence they were just tenant farmers of the border army military attachés, and their combat power was inferior to that of ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, but this part of the border army accounted for the vast majority of the Shaanxi and Gansu armies, and there was still a lot of water in numbers.

At the same time, the private soldiers carefully cultivated by the generals of the border armies in various places are not inferior to the elite of Mongolia, but the number of private soldiers is too small and too scattered, and an ordinary border army can only afford to raise thirty or forty private soldiers at most, and it is difficult to form combat strength.

As for the new army formed by Zhao Junchen during this time, it is undoubtedly one of the strongest troops in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the soldiers are all brave and strong private soldiers, but the scale is much larger than any private army, and the leading generals are all among the best brave generals in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the armor can be regarded as well-equipped, and the soldiers of this team are all highly motivated and strong in battle under the ideological mobilization of Zhao Junchen.

According to the thoughts of everyone present, not to mention ordinary Mongolian cavalry, even the legendary Dzungar army that destroyed countless countries may not be much stronger than the new army of soldiers.

Therefore, seeing that the Dzungar army is about to attack Shaanxi, Gansu and Longnan on a large scale, but the border army of Shaanxi, Gansu and Longnan must be difficult to resist by relying only on a small number of private soldiers, and the top priority is naturally to urgently recall the new army of soldiers and let them go to Longnan to support, the Dzungar army is stronger than the ordinary Mongolian elite in the legend, and only the new army of soldiers can compete!

However, they didn't expect that Zhao Junchen had no urgency in his heart, and still planned to let the new army of soldiers go to attack those border army military attaches who did not obey military orders.

In this way, if the battle is delayed, what should we do?

Thinking of this, whether it was Li Ru'an, Guan Wuyuan, Niu Fude, Zhao Junchen's henchmen, or Zheng Jiadong, Wu Qifan, Zhou Bo, and other local officials in Shaanxi and Gansu, they were all eager and planned to persuade Zhao Junchen to change his mind.

However, before they could speak, Zhao Junchen had already taken the first step to explain: "I naturally know that the battle situation is urgent, but my decision is also deliberate!" ”

After all this period of time, Wu Qifan did not dare to underestimate Zhao Junchen's scheming and wisdom, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, he hurriedly said: "Please also ask Lord Qincha to teach you!" “

Zhao Junchen slowly explained: "First of all, if the new army of soldiers is used to defend the city, it is inevitably a bit overkill, they should fight against the Mongols in the field, only in this way can they kill and injure the living force of the Mongols to the greatest extent and completely hurt the Mongols!" Therefore, the role of the new army of soldiers in this battle is to encircle, block the back road, and rush into battle, so there is no need for them to go to Longnan too early to support, otherwise the new army will only be blocked in the city and unable to perform, or it will expose our combat intentions. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "Secondly, the new army of soldiers is indeed good in combat power, not inferior to the Mongolian elite in any way, if they are allowed to fight the Mongols too early, maybe it will make the Mongols cowardly and retreat, so it will be difficult for us to cause too many casualties to the Mongols!" ”

Seeing that everyone was thoughtful, Zhao Junchen said again: "Finally, it is also a very necessary action for the new army to attack those border army military attaches who do not obey the military orders of the Governor's Palace!" Only in this way can we make an example and completely unify the military and political forces in Shaanxi and Gansu, and at the same time, this operation can also prompt the new army to speed up the run-in and strengthen its combat strength, and when it comes to the real decisive battle, we can also exert greater strength!

In addition, my strategy seems to have succeeded, but I also have to consider whether the Mongols will have a backhand, for example, will they attack Longnan and attack Xi'an at the same time, so as to distract our forces and energy? Therefore, the new army of soldiers cannot be moved lightly for the time being, and we must retain a certain amount of emergency forces! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen summed up with a serious expression: "According to my thoughts, it is best for the new army to join the battlefield in the middle of the war, take advantage of the fact that the Dzungar army is concentrating on attacking the city, cut off their rear routes, surround them heavily, and then join forces inside and outside to completely defeat the Dzungar army!" ”

After listening to Zhao Junchen's explanation, everyone was silent in thought.

After a long time, everyone finally nodded in favor of Zhao Junchen's opinion.

But after Wu Qifan pondered for a while, he still raised an objection and said: "However, if the Mongols make up their minds to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist with the strength of the border army in Longnan alone. If we don't have any support, maybe before the new army outflanks the back road, several acropolises in Longnan have already been broken by the Mongols...... In addition, according to the plan of Lord Chincha, the timing of the new army to join the battlefield is crucial, and it is not possible to do it early or late, and it is necessary to find the most appropriate time. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded in agreement and said: "Governor Wu's concerns are very reasonable, if we don't support Longnan in time, it is clear that Longnan is used as bait, and it will also make the Mongols see the flaws...... In fact, before this, I had already transferred 3,000 reinforcements to Longnan one after another, and I also took the opportunity to transfer a batch of city defense equipment, but such a small number of troops were obviously not enough to support it for too long, so ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's gaze turned to Guan Wuyuan.

Seeing Zhao Junchen's gaze, Guan Wuyuan's expression suddenly changed, faintly flustered, he could no longer see the majesty and arrogance of his usual life, and his eyes when he looked at Zhao Junchen even had a hint of pleading.

Obviously, Zhao Junchen planned to let Guan Wuyuan lead his troops to Longnan to support.

In addition to the new army of soldiers, the elite of the forbidden army under Guan Wuyuan is also the only combatable force that can be mobilized in the Governor's Palace.

Guan Wuyuan obviously didn't want to take on such a dangerous errand himself.

But Zhao Junchen didn't let Guan Wuyuan go, and still said: "General Guan, under such circumstances, it's time for the elite of your forbidden army to dispatch!" I order you to personally lead 20,000 troops to Longnan to support! My request is that within forty days, you must hold on to all the cities and guards of Longnan, and no matter what means you use, you will not allow the Mongols to break the city! ”

Seeing Guan Wuyuan's pale face and not receiving orders for a long time, Zhao Junchen's brows couldn't help frowning.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no talent in his hands, Zhao Junchen would not be willing to use Guan Wuyuan, a powerful and inward-looking person.

However, although Guan Wuyuan is incompetent and cowardly, he does concentrate most of the elite of the forbidden army under his command, and there are several generals who have real skills, otherwise Zhao Junchen would not dare to hand over this task to Guan Wuyuan.

After staring at Guan Wuyuan for a moment, Zhao Junchen's heart sighed lightly, and said: "Don't worry, I have prepared enough equipment to defend the city in Longnan in advance, and most of the people who fled the famine captured by the Shaanxi and Gansu governors some time ago also stayed there, and I didn't feed them in vain...... In addition, the Mongols have never been good at attacking cities, as long as you are determined to hold on, you will definitely be able to drag on long enough, and when the Mongols are a little tired, I will personally lead the troops to support! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen slightly accentuated his tone and asked, "Why, does General Guan have to disobey the military order?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's questioning, Guan Wuyuan's body couldn't help but tremble.

Compared with the Mongolian army thousands of miles away, he was still more afraid of Zhao Junchen who was close in front of him.

So, Guan Wuyuan finally came out to receive the order: "Humble duty...... Obey! ”

Guan Wuyuan's voice was full of bitterness, but Zhao Junchen didn't seem to hear it at all, and just reassured again: "After the matter is completed, I will inevitably ask the court for General Guan's credit!" ”

Then, Zhao Junchen no longer looked at Guan Wuyuan, and continued: "The middle road of Ningxia is not far from Longnan, Gansu, in order to save time and avoid the soldiers running back and forth to consume physical strength, the new army of soldiers who went to attack the middle road of Ningxia did not have to rush back to the Huamachi camp, and sent messengers to send orders to them, so that they could go to the junction of Gansu and Ningxia to camp near the junction of Gansu and Ningxia after the matter was completed......

Also, send someone to the Gansu military town to send an order, the Gansu military town to join the new army of private soldiers do not have to rush to the Huamachi camp, now there is no time to train them, Gansu is about to become a battlefield, they may not be able to arrive, let them go to Lanzhou Mansion to assemble, for the time being, the Lanzhou garrison officer is responsible for drills, the same is to prepare the army, at any time to listen to military orders......

Then he sent an order to all the prefectures and counties in the Longnan region of Gansu Province, asking them to clear the wilderness and gather the people into the city to prevent the Mongols from plundering...... The Hexi Seven Guards in Gansu should also pay close attention to the battle in Longnan and be ready to attack and support ...... at any time."

*

In this way, Zhao Junchen issued one order after another.

After determining the general layout, Zhao Junchen discussed many things with everyone.

Emergency filing, detailed arrangement, marching route......

After a whole day of deliberation and brainstorming, the general strategic plan was finally settled.

Then, the whole Huamachi camp began to get busy.

In the afternoon of the same day, nearly 100 messengers left the Huamachi camp and rushed to all parts of Shaanxi and Gansu with Zhao Junchen's order!

A big war, on the verge of breaking out!

At the same time, in Bagen's tent, the leaders of the Mongol coalition army were caught in endless quarrels and quarrels!

All quarrels come from interests!
