Chapter 984: Zhu Cihong's counterattack

In the Nanjing Imperial Study, Zhu Cihong stood in front of the map, and behind him stood Ruan Dacheng, Chen Zilong, Lu Zhenfei, Shi Kefa and other scholars.

At this time, several scholars circulated the information, their faces became heavy, and Ruan Dacheng said: "The thief has arrived in Huguang, is he going to recruit in person?" ”

This news made everyone a little nervous, Gao Yihuan went to the front line, which in itself was an encouragement to the morale of the Wei army, plus he immediately fought the world, his ability was outstanding, and there were few opponents in the world, which naturally made people feel a little nervous.

Chen Zilong pondered for a while, but shook his head, "Huguang is just one of the battlefields this time, if Sun Kewang and Haoge participate in the war, the war will spread all over the world, and the high thief will need to coordinate the overall situation, he may not be able to personally command a place, it should just be patrolling the front line to stimulate morale." ”

Ruan Dacheng frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, last year, the high thief led hundreds of thousands of victorious troops, went southeast from the mountain, stopped at the Huaijiang River, and the Wei thief general Xu Heihu crossed several times, but was repelled by the Ming Dynasty, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Now that the high thief appeared in Huguang, the minister thought that even if he was not a pro-conquest, Huguang would also be the direction of the Wei thief's main attack. ”

Zhu Cihong also judged this in his heart, when hundreds of thousands of Qing troops went south, the four towns in Jiangbei surrendered to two towns, and the Ming army still relied on the river defense and water division to block the Qing army's attack in an extremely critical situation.

After Gao Yihuan became the emperor last year, he was impatient to seal Mount Tai, carry the victorious soldiers, and pounced directly on the two Huai, which was also blocked by the Ming army in the north of the Huai River.

This undoubtedly strengthened Zhu Cihong's confidence in the Jiangfang, and at the same time judged that it was difficult for the Wei army to break through the Jiangfang.

Zhu Cihong already had a judgment in his heart, but he still wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Chen Zilong pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the style of the courtiers and thieves in recent years has never been as simple as it seems. At that time, the high thief encouraged Li Chuang to fight to the death in Guanzhong, claiming that he would go north to attack Luoyang and share the pressure for Li Chuang, but as a result, he did not go north to Luoyang, but raided Wuguan, blocking Li Chuang's escape road, forcing Li Chuang to fight with Jiannu, and was finally killed by Jiannu. Besides, when Jiannu went south, His Majesty asked him to send reinforcements, and the high thief also swore that he would send a large army to rescue, but as a result, he raided Guanzhong. It can be seen that the high thief is cunning, and when he appeared in Huguang, the minister was a little worried. ”

Chen Zilong's words helped Zhu Cihong recall Gao Yihuan's family history, and he concluded that Gao Yihuan is a livestock, crowned by selling people, and is good at attacking the east and west.

"Chen Gebu's words are wrong!" Ruan Dacheng said disapprerovingly: "The person who is good at the high thieves is not good at attacking the east and west, but is good at avoiding the important and light, and if you can't get through all the way, you will choose another one." At this time, the high thief was obviously unable to get through the two Huai, so he chose to go down from Huguang Jianling. The Jin Dynasty died Wu, the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, and the Yuan Dynasty died Song, all of whom went to Wuchang first, and there were heavy troops in the upper reaches, but there was no one who crossed the Yangtze River directly. The minister thought that Chen Gebu was too worried, and the high thief just saw that the two Huai could not get through, so he went to Huguang instead. Moreover, the Wei thieves have gathered in Huguang recently, and with the habit of high thieves, they don't make much of a fuss, which shows that the target of high thieves is Wuchang. ”

Chen Zilong frowned and said, "The minister just means to be more vigilant!" ”

Ruan Dacheng continued: "In the current situation, the thieves are strong and I am weak, if the Wei thieves attack Huguang, but we are fortified everywhere and disperse our troops, we must be undefendable everywhere. If we lose the battle, Sun Kewang and Hauge will be shaken. Now that he knew the direction of the Wei thief's main attack, the minister thought that he must mobilize the main force and focus on defending Huguang. ”

Zhu Cihong listened to the discussion of the courtiers, walked a few steps back and forth in front of the map, suddenly stopped, waved his hand, and said, "Don't talk about it." This time, Ruan Gebu was right, he must concentrate his forces to defend Huguang, and he must also make achievements in order to make Sun Kewang and Haoge send troops! ”

Saying that, Zhu Cihong walked in front of the map and said in a deep voice: "There is a sailor in Jiangfang, and I have no worries in my heart." At that time, four towns, one town was besieged, two towns surrendered, I only used Huang Degong one town, plus tens of thousands of new soldiers, to block the attack of Jiannu. Today, there are 100,000 elite soldiers stationed in the garrison, and there is no need to worry. ”

Zhu Cihong turned around, clenched his fists, and looked excited, "In this case, no matter what the thief's intentions or strategies are, I must fight according to my own strategy, and I can't be led by the nose by the thief." ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Ruan Dacheng, Chen Zilong and others hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "No matter whether the high thief is attacking Lianghuai or Wuchang, my strategy is to defend in the east and attack in the west. Use the river defense to block the Huaibei Wei thieves, and take the opportunity of the main force of the Wei thieves to besiege Wuchang, and launch a counterattack in central Hunan. The first step was to mobilize troops to give the imperial court an advantage in central Hunan and defeat the Wei thieves who attacked Changsha. The second step is to take advantage of the situation to collect Changde and Yuezhou, boost the morale of the army, and at the same time let Sun Kewang and Haoge see the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Only when this battle is fought well, the two of them will attack with all their might, and then Sun Kewang will attack Bashu, Haoge will threaten the north, and the high thieves will be overwhelmed by the enemy, and my opportunity will come. The third step is to take advantage of the Wei thieves' long-term attack on Wuchang, order the troops occupying northern Hunan to cross the river and capture Jingzhou and Xiangyang, then the main force of the Wei thieves will be annihilated in Wuchang and Hanyang. In this way, Sun Kewang will take Bashu, and the momentum of the Wei thief will be weak! ”

If that happens, the momentum is established.

Several scholars in the cabinet, who had no new strategy feasible, were speechless for a moment, and just nodded.

.........

South Zhili, the south of Yangzhou Guazhou crossing.

Zheng Chenggong led a naval division and stationed here.

Although the attempt to go north to take over Beijing failed, not only did he not take Beijing, but he lost more than 6,000 elite forbidden troops, Zhu Cihong still trusted Zheng Chenggong.

Of course, this is also a matter of no way for Zhu Cihong, the Ming Dynasty's own sailors can only be regarded as average, and Jiangfang must rely on the Zheng family's sailors, and he can't trust it.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Beijing, the minister has lived up to the high hopes, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime!" Zheng Sen knelt down on one knee, looking ashamed.

Zhu Cihong helped Zheng Sen up, "I don't blame Aiqing for this matter, it was Feng Quan's traitor who deceived me, and it was already a great luck that the Qing family was able to come back." Saying that, he stared at the river, "Aiqing, I will hand over the river defense to you, you can be confident." ”

Zheng Sen saw that Zhu Cihong trusted him so much, and his heart was moved, "Your Majesty trusts, and the ministers will definitely do their best to protect the Jiangjiang defense." ”

Zhu Cihong looked at the giant ship cruising in the river, solemnly helped Zheng Sen up and said: "Very good, the safety of Jiangfang and Nanjing, I will hand over all the power to you, I hope the Qing family must live up to my expectations." ”

"The minister understands!" Zheng Sen solemnly clenched his fists.

Henan, Nanyang Mansion, here is Gao Yihuan's old nest, and it is also an important channel between Guanzhong and Huguang.

Since last year, the Wei army began to increase troops from Guanzhong to Huguang, but there were a large number of soldiers and horses, and after setting off from Guanzhong, they did not go to Huguang, but stopped at Nanyang.

In a few months, the Ming Dynasty scouts found that the Wei army was transferred to Guanguan, thinking that they had gone to Huguang, but in fact, the soldiers and horses that were not mobilized were quietly left in Nanyang.

Now Nanyang has secretly assembled 50,000 troops, scattered in dozens of military camps in Nanyang Mansion, the Wei army strictly sealed the news, and even the people of Nanyang did not know that so many troops had gathered in the territory.

On the morning of that day, another cavalry rushing to Huguang stopped at Nanyang and secretly entered a military camp to prepare for a secret operation with the Wei army in Nanyang.

Huang Bingzhong, who went to Nanyang first, arranged for Hu Dawei's 10,000 well-equipped cavalry to enter the camp to rest.

"Hu Guogong has worked hard all the way!" Huang Bingzhong hugged his fists.

Hu Dawei smiled and praised each other, "Youlao Huang Guogong has greeted you!" ”

"Haha~" The two looked at each other and smiled, and entered the big tent together.

Huang Bingzhong and the others walked to the sand table, and he sighed: "Your Majesty ordered me to hide troops here, sneak attack Runan, bypass the Ming army's Huaijiang defense line, and go straight to Yangzhou." Originally, I was still a little worried, but with the help of the Tiger Kingdom, I have the bottom in my heart. ”

Runan was also Gao Yihuan's old nest, which was later occupied by the Qing army and taken over by the Ming army a few years ago.

This is located in the upper reaches of the Huai River, with many mountains and hills, Gao Yihuan is ready to enter diagonally from here, gather the main force of the Ming army in Huainan, and then launch the battle of crossing the river.
