Seeing that Qin Liangyu was so stubborn, Gu Zhun was anxious.

If he obeyed the order and left with the "Red Banner Army", Qin Liangyu took the white pole soldiers to northern Sichuan to pursue the Liukou, wouldn't the general confess to do everything he could to protect Qin Liangyu's safety become out of reach?

Originally, the general of the conquest was not optimistic about the white pole soldiers going out of Sichuan, and he was worried that Qin Liangyu and them would suffer a double blow from the rogue and Jiannu.

If Gu Zhun's 5,000 "Red Banner Army" regular soldiers and guards were to follow, maybe they would be able to turn the danger into a disaster, wouldn't the division of troops weaken the overall strength even more?

Gu Zhun refused: "No, our army is not only facing millions of hungry people, but also countless bandits and bandits.

With a radius of several hundred miles, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and I don't know how many enemies we are facing, and without the participation of the white pole soldiers, the work of relocating and helping the hungry people cannot be completed even if there is food.

The white pole soldiers must stay behind and advance and retreat with the 'Red Banner Army'. This is not only the proposition of the last general, but also the order of the general to be captured. ”

Ma Xianglin, Qin Yiming and other generals all heard that Gu Zhun was thinking about the white pole soldiers, and also thought that staying in Chengdu to settle the people and raise troops could increase their strength.

Qin Liangyu was furious again, she had already given in and given up commanding the five thousand "Red Banner Army", and Gu Zhun not only did not give an inch, but also carried out the general to suppress her.

The Ming Dynasty has not had a civilian and military general with the seal of a general for a long time, and Qin Liangyu, the chief military officer with the seal of a general, is not comparable to a general, and he should indeed obey the dispatch.

It's just that this is not Liaodong, let alone the jurisdiction of the general of the conquest, why is he interfering in the affairs of central Sichuan thousands of miles away?

She said: "This official is fully responsible for the affairs of Sichuan's suppression, and the military order to capture the general may not be able to control the white pole soldiers." Tomorrow, the white pole soldiers will go north to pursue the main force of Liukou, and General Gu's men and horses will be at their own convenience. ”

Gu Zhun stood up and clenched his fists and said, "Why are we and other soldiers fighting?" In order to protect the country and the people! The last general firmly disagrees with General Qin's immediate northward departure, you are responsible for the millions of hungry people, and you cannot go anywhere without these people being resettled. ”

Qin Liangyu asked rhetorically: "Joke, how much grain can this official have, how can he be able to settle millions of hungry people?" Of course, the 'Red Banner Army' with money and food was left to resettle the hungry, and the only way to repay the emperor's favor was to fight to the death with the rogues. ”

Gu Zhun didn't care about it and said: "General Qin can't just leave, the last general's men and horses are not enough to stabilize such a large territory, if a large number of hungry people starve to death because of poor relief, causing them to gang up to rob homes and rob more places, General Qin will not be able to shift the blame."

At the end of the year, the general of the imperial court and the Qin Dynasty was so happy that millions of hungry people ignored it, just to get the beheading merit and sensationalize the public. ”

Qin Liangyu is a military general after all, with few flowers and intestines, and there is a gap between her and Gu Zhun's debate level, she feels that Gu Zhun is messing around, but she can't say lethal words, so angry that she pointed at Gu Zhun "You, you ......" speechless, and brushed her sleeves away.

Zhang Fengyi and Ma Xianglin winked at each other and chased her mother-in-law out.

Ma Xianglin knew that Gu Zhun had no malicious intentions, and seeing that his attitude of leaving the white pole soldiers was so resolute, he did not hesitate to confront his mother-for-tat, and admired it in his heart.

Seeing that his mother was far away, he asked in a low voice: "General Gu, why is the general resolutely unwilling to go out of Sichuan with white poles?" Can he foresee that the battle there will be difficult to fight? ”

Gu Zhun said: "That's true, the white pole soldiers have to expand the army again to defend Sichuan, how can they have the spare strength to go to Shaanxi for a fierce battle?"

Moreover, the situation there is quite grim now, and the conservative estimate of the Liukou alone is between 200,000 and the Manchurian cavalry should be 60,000 or 70,000.

25,000 white pole soldiers, plus 10,000 Sichuan troops to fill in, will not help at all, it will be a waste of you, the loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Qin Yiming was not convinced, and asked, "How can you see it?" What does it matter if they have 200,000 troops? I'm a white pole soldier with one as ten. ”

Gu Zhun said: "First of all, the Liukou were not defeated by us, but they took the initiative to retreat north, their men and horses were not damaged, and the number of the old battalion horse team that more than a dozen big leaders could assemble should not be less than twenty or thirty thousand, and with such strength, they can form a surprise attack."

The vast majority of the white pole soldiers are infantry, limited by mobility, in case they are trapped in a hard battle, there is no doubt that they will be trapped in a hard battle.

The terrain in northern Sichuan is complex, and there are so many places where ambushes can be arranged, how can this official watch the white pole soldiers suffer?

At this time, there is no rush to pursue north, so as to respond to all changes with the same. Besides, we are stranded in the Chengdu area, and it is impossible to be negative, facing millions of hungry people and tens of thousands of robbers, and there are many things to be busy every day. ”

Qin Gongming has studied in the "Red Flag Army" for more than a year, and knows that there are no vain generals under Huang Han, and after listening to Gu Zhun's analysis, he feels reasonable.

The Rogue always has to be eliminated, but not in a hurry, and must be given an overwhelming advantage to the White Pole Soldier before he can deliver a thunderous blow.

Now it is the last word to restore the areas damaged by the bandits in a timely manner.

He took the lead in expressing his support for Gu Zhun and said: "General Gu is far-sighted and has unique opinions, we should accept the advice, and there is really no need to rush north now."

If it is due to my aunt's temperament, even if the white pole soldiers defeat the Liukou, it is impossible to form a gathering and annihilation, at most it is a defeat, what can I do if I chase out of Sichuan?

There is thousands of miles of red land and has been looted again by the rogues who walked in front, how can we guarantee our military rations?

How easy is it to travel thousands of miles to transport grain? How many troops and men do they have to use, and how much food do they have to eat?

The areas we pass through are all seriously short of food, what should we do if we encounter the people in central Sichuan who are facing starvation to death?

If we are willing to help the victims, we ourselves will have nothing to eat, and we will not help them, resulting in thousands of fathers and elders starving to death.

And that's not even counting the bandits, bandits, and local bandits in the areas they pass through, who will starve to death if they don't get food.

Seeing the team transporting military rations, they are all desperate to grab the grain, and they will face a bloody battle all the way to transport the grain, and in the end, how many people can survive the white pole soldiers, and how much grain can be transported to Shaanxi?

In case our main force has been chased until Shaanxi encounters Jiannu, with the unyielding fortitude of the white pole soldiers, it is really easy to go out of Sichuan and difficult to return to Sichuan this time! ”

Ma Xianglin said disapprenously: "Loyal ministers are not afraid of death, afraid of death and disloyal, it's just a big deal to be martyred!" Fighting for the country and always thinking about how to protect oneself is not falling behind? ”

These remarks were inflammatory, and many of the generals of the white pole soldiers held their heads high, and their faces were full of pride and pride in fighting to the death and martyrdom.
