He Tengjiao was bitter in his heart, even his own people didn't believe that he didn't think about it, so wanting to explain it clearly to Nanjing was tantamount to a fool's dream, and it was estimated that Nanjing was discussing how to send troops to conquer Huguang.

Now that he is riding a tiger, he has no choice but to go all the way to the dark. Fortunately, he still has the banner of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and he can command the world in the name of Zhengshuo, in addition, a few days ago, Meng Zhengfa also sent a vow of Dolgon to take a three-year truce with him and send troops to help, saying that it is not impossible to defeat Zhu Linmiao.

He began to think about how to fight this battle with his tired eyes, and after a moment he began to look forward to the future of power, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

……

Just as He Tengjiao expected, the Nanjing Soldier Deployment Office was holding a meeting of the General Staff Division.

Fortunately, Zhu Linmiao had already arranged for Huguang, and this time the confrontation was quite easy. But he also knew that this battle must not be delayed for too long, no, at most it must not be won for more than a month and a half!

Although it is difficult for them to cross the Yangtze River defense line, Chuzhou and Hezhou in the south and north are within their attack range, and they cannot be allowed to gain a firm foothold in these places.

Second, after the Son of Heaven fell into the hands of He Tengjiao, he could still rely on his previous aftermath to suppress various places in a short period of time, but it was inevitable that people's minds would change after a long time. If there are local forces raising troops under the banner of "King Qin", it will cause greater harm to the Ming Dynasty.

"Ahem, my lord......"

Zhang Jiayu's whispered reminder interrupted his train of thought. He hurriedly put away his other thoughts and continued: "As I just said, Huguang has been surrounded by several sides except for the east side. The East Road 10,000 Yuan Jibu will soon return to the Huguang battlefield, and the operation against Chuzhou and other places will be handed over to the Broken Prisoner Battalion.

"In fact, the loyal battalion has been vested with He Tengjiao, and the day before yesterday, I had secretly ordered Li Guo and Gao Yi to take the first line of Yuezhou and Tongcheng to cut off the northward passage of the Changsha and Chu armies. After that, our army will concentrate on storming Wuchang, and I plan to conquer this city within a month. ”

He glanced at the generals sitting there and began to arrange specific combat deployments, "Originally, I didn't plan to mobilize the Sichuan army too much, but now I need to make a quick decision. Therefore, Wang Yingxiong led his troops to drag the captives in Hanzhong, transferred Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming to lead 5,000 white pole troops, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's elite troops totaled 10,000 people, and gathered with 4,000 soldiers and horses of Yang Zhan's department, as the Western Route Army, it was also the main force of this campaign.

"10,000 Yuan Ji led the 12,000 troops of the Gan Army to serve as the East Route Army, and transferred the King of Yongning to listen to his control. It is mainly responsible for fortifying on the east side of Wuchang, blocking Jiao's escape route to the east, and cooperating with the White Pole Army to attack if necessary.

Luo Mingshou led the Yangtze River Naval Division to deploy defenses north of Wuchang, and also transported grain and grass for the infantry army. I have seen the situation of the warships of the Huguang Water Division, and the three medium-sized Galese warships in the hands of Luo Mingshou are enough to deal with it.

"The 9,000 Gui army of Zhai Shiyun's department marched north into Changsha, trying not to fight hard with the Chu army, and only pinning it down nearby, so that the Changsha defenders did not dare to attack the loyal battalion with all their might. In addition, if the loyal battalion has different intentions, Zhai Shiyun will immediately attack Yuezhou, drag the loyal battalion at all costs, and win time for the decisive battle of Wuchang. ”

His deployment is airtight. With the combat effectiveness of the White Pole Army and Li Dingguo's troops alone, they could easily defeat the 40,000 defenders of Wuchang, plus the response of Wan Yuan Ji and the Yangtze River Water Division, it was enough to take Wuchang City within a month. You must know that the current white pole army is equipped with heavy artillery, and the Jiangxi army also has several twelve-pounder cannons in their hands, and under the bombardment day and night, the Wuchang city wall can last for ten days at most.

At the same time, under the four bread sandwiches, He Tengjiao couldn't run away even if he wanted to. Even in the worst-case scenario, the Loyal Battalion would be able to move the Jiangxi troops south, albeit in the unlikely league, to cooperate with the Gui army in dragging the enemy near Yuezhou. He also has nearly 10,000 Cantonese troops in his hands as a reserve, which can win at least more than a month for the Sichuan army.

Zhu Linmiao continued: "With the equipment, training, and logistics level of our army, it should not be difficult to defeat the Huguang soldiers in a frontal battle. What we need to pay attention to the most is to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Among them, the Chuzhou area is the most urgent.

"It was to leave 5,000 people in the camp to guard Nanjing, and General Zhen personally sat in the town. Deng Shan, Sun Qi, Tie Dake, and Jin Wu led 8,000 men and horses to Chuzhou to set up defenses. Remember not to stick to it, if necessary, you can go to Yangzhou, Gaoyou and other places, and try to find some trouble for Duoduo.

"I will personally order the Long Wei Army and Yu Zhen and Du Kaibu of the Broken Battalion to be responsible for the defense of the south bank of the Yangtze River......

In addition, Chen Bangyan was transferred back to Guangzhou and served as the prefect of Guangzhou. Chen Zizhuang rushed to Fujing and led the general army of the Tianxing Mansion garrison. Zhang Huangyan was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Shaoxing garrison ......"

Empress Dowager Zeng rubbed one of her son's small clothes, her eyebrows were full of worry, but her eyes had dried up tears, but they were extremely red and swollen.

"Queen Mother," Pang Tianshou entered the hall and whispered, "Guo Wei is here through Lord Guo." ”

Empress Dowager Zeng hurriedly stretched out her trembling right hand and waved, "Let him come in." ”
