Chapter 84: Layout

To the south of Changsha City, the camp of the Xia army is being built day and night.

The geographical situation of Changsha has also been introduced before, the west is adjacent to the Xiangjiang River, and the Liuyang River is in the northeast, and the Liuyang River flows into the Xiangjiang River.

But if the brigade wants to pass, it is extremely difficult.

Therefore, if the Xia army wants to trap Changsha City, it will block the south and southeast directions of Changsha.

Before, there were still large groups of men and horses in Changsha City, which had the ability to counterattack, so it was still difficult to set up a camp east of the Xiangjiang River.

However, after this battle, all obstacles were removed.

Zhang Xuan immediately made a decision to transfer the battalion from the west of the Xiangjiang River to the east of the Xiangjiang River, forcing Changsha City to go down to the wall, so as to achieve the purpose of blockading Changsha City on three sides and cutting off the reinforcements from the south of Changsha City.

"You mean to say that Gao Yigong won't attack?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Yes." Hu Tang said: "The news that the minister got from General Cao is like this. ”

"That's fine." Zhang Xuan said: "Gao Yigong is a general after all, if it can be used by us, it is really good, although there are many generals in Daxia, but there are not many generals in this aspect." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan thought of this, he thought of Li Rugui.

If it was Gao Yigong who guarded Zaoyang, maybe there would not be such a problem. Sometimes, Zhang Xuan has to admit that on top of the talent reserve, he is actually on top of Cao Ying.

Recovering Gao Yigong is one thing that Zhang Xuan has always thought about.

Hu Tang said: "In the opinion of the minister, you can't just believe in the words of Gao Yigong. ”

Zhang Xuan said, "What do you mean? ”

Hu Tang said: "Can you ask Mrs. Gao to go to the high school camp?" ”

Zhang Xuan frowned slightly and said, "You think this is useful, if Mrs. Gao and Gao Yigong get together, it won't be easy." ”

Hu Tang said: "Please rest assured, Mrs. Gao is a smart person, just a woman's family. She couldn't do anything like that. ”

Zhang Xuan recalled the image of Mrs. Gao in his heart, and nodded slightly in his heart.

I have to admit that Mrs. Gao is not the kind of strong woman who can turn the tide, and not every woman is the same as Wu Zetian and Cixi. If the Xia Dynasty posthumously crowned Li Zicheng as the emperor, and was buried with the rites of the emperor, he would give Li Zicheng a step-son and be named King Shun, hereditary disregard. Originally, this position belonged to Li Guo, but now it has landed on the head of a three-year-old doll from Li Zi's family.

Li Zicheng can be regarded as a very sad death.

If Gao Yigong's situation is very good, maybe Mrs. Gao is not good at saying anything. But although Gao Yigong has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, he can also be called an elite, and he has lost the opportunity to fall on the big chessboard of the world. Mrs. Gao is also the one who followed Li Zicheng to break into the world.

She also knows the most basic situation. I think she will make the most stable decision. It seems to be a woman's nature.

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "In that case, you can do this matter, don't just find Mrs. Gao, and then pick one or two from the generals who broke into the camp." The plan to attack the heart, not only the heart of the high one, but also the heart of the high general. ”

"Yes." Hu said.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "The camp was moved from the west bank to the east bank, with Zhou Fuchen here, even if Gao Yigong has the ability of ten thousand people, he can't fly to the Xiangjiang River." However, you still have to guard against it, when you go over, give Cao Zongyu a reminder and ask him to be on guard. ”

A lot of things just have inertia. Zhang Xuan won a big victory under Changsha City, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the unstable situation in Changsha to storm Changsha City, and then take Changsha City down first. It is impossible to hit halfway through and solve the high level in the turn. I can only want to let it go.

"Yes." Hu said.

Zhang Xuan arranged for Hu Tang to go to Cao Zongyu's camp first, and then go to Wuchang. Mrs. Gao and some old generals who broke into the camp came over to persuade Gao Yigong, so there is no need to mention it.

After Hu Tang left, Zhang Xuan wet his face with a wet towel and said, "Is there any news from Luo Dai?" ”

Zheng Lian said: "I just got the news. General Luo had conquered Xiangtan, and Liu Chengyin retreated to Hengyang. ”

"Oh." Zhang Xuan closed his eyes, let the water beads flow down his eyelashes, took a dry cloth from his hand, wiped his face clean, and said, "Is Xiangtan an empty city?" ”

"Yes, not much at all." Zheng Lian said.

Zhang Xuan sighed slightly and said, "That's the case again." There is really no reason for the Ming Dynasty to die. ”

Xiangtan and Changsha are not far away, if Liu Chengyin sits in Xiangtan, Zhang Xuan in the camp can not attack the city wholeheartedly, has to take more precautions in the south, and now he gives up Xiangtan and leaves, Zhang Xuan only needs to send a general to sit in Xiangtan, and then cooperate with Zhou Fuchen's sailors.

You can block the reinforcements directly south of Changsha.

Liu Chengyin arranged it himself, and it can be said that he pushed Changsha City into the abyss.

However, Zhang Xuan is also accustomed to this situation, and has seen the absurdity of the first battle of Zhuxian Town, Zhang Xuan has immunity to all kinds of strange situations of the Ming army, and said: "Send an order to Luo Dai, so that he can't go further south, just guard Xiangtan, and send Zhou Fuchen to send a fleet to Xiangtan to block the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Xuan pressed his hands on the copper basin, and water droplets fell down his hair into the copper basin, causing ripples. Zhang Xuan suddenly asked, "He Tengjiao, is there any movement over there in Zhang Kuang?" ”

"This ----," Zheng Lian suddenly froze and said, "General, although there have been scouts to investigate. But just knowing that He Tengjiao did not go west, as for the specific situation, it is not clear. ”

Zhang Xuan also understands that any resource is limited.

The elite scouts in Zhang Xuan's hands are also numerous, and it is impossible to monitor Gao Yigong, Liu Chengyin, and even more than a hundred miles around Changsha City, and extend their tentacles far to Jiangxi. However, Zhang Xuan thinks about it now, and the foreign aid in Changsha City is only He Tengjiao's side.

Not to mention the exhaustion of troops in other places, just saying that it was blocked by Xiangtan to the south, it would not be able to pass.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and said, "Bring Qin Meng over." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

When Qin Meng came over, Zhang Xuan had already asked people to bring the copper basin down and sit behind the desk. With the help of candlelight, looking at one document after another.

"General." As soon as Qin Meng came in, he saluted and said, "The last general has embarrassed the general." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xuan said: "I punished you for the defeat before the battle, is it just a defeat?" Who hasn't come from defeat, when I first went to war, there were times when I was defeated. You just have to remember the lesson of this time. ”

Zhang Xuan's lineage to him is still different from others.

Qin Meng was just demoted and punished.

Qin Meng also knew that this was Zhang Xuan's care. Grateful and said, "General Xie, the last general." Please rest assured that the general will do his best to repay the general's kindness. ”

"Say these things and you'll see the outside." Zhang Xuan said: "Your position was temporarily replaced by Ma Sanbao. I'm going to give you a task now, and I'm done to atone for my sins. ”

The demotion of Qin Meng is a punishment, and the promotion of Ma Sanbao is a reward. In the next battle of Changsha City, Ma Sanbao was the most prominent one in the Xia army. Almost in between. It's enviable.

Qin Meng said: "General, please speak." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "You take someone to the east, one is to see what He Tengjiao is doing, and report it quickly, and the other is to contact General Zhang, and you must not let He Tengjiao join the Changsha battlefield." There is no room for failure in this matter, only between the capture of Changsha City, He Tengjiao did not join the Changsha battlefield, you are a great achievement. If it doesn't work, report it in advance, which can be regarded as meritorious. ”

As soon as Qin Meng heard this, he knew that it was impossible to do this errand if he wanted to do it, only be careful, even if he couldn't stop He Tengjiao's department from acting, but it was very easy to promote and report the situation. This is obviously Zhang Xuan's love for him.

Qin Meng's heart was moved, and he said: "Please rest assured, the general has an end, and this matter will never be smashed." ”
