Zhu Linmiao sighed lightly, "It's just that this method can only be used as an auxiliary, but it can't give much hope." ”

Zhang Jiayu carefully recorded what he had just said, and asked: "My lord, if you want to transfer the garrisons of Yanping and Shaowu to drag Azig, you may need to send it to the military headquarters first. ”

"No," Zhu Linmiao shook his head and said, "The first emperor had asked me to control all the Ming troops in Fujing, and the edict has not been withdrawn so far, so I used this to transfer the army. ”

"Yes!"

"If Bolo bets on Shanguan, then the west side of Shanguan should also be watched."

At the beginning, Boluo went south from Zhejiang, and also divided 20,000 horses to make a detour to invade Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi, intending to control Shanguan from the Jiangxi side and completely block the connection between Fujing and the outside world.

Previously, Yang Tinglin had led his troops to Guangxin to set up defenses, and so far he has not heard any major movements, which shows that at least he has not been bargained for by Jianjiao. Zhu Linmiao continued to instruct Zhang Jiayu: "Repair another book to Yang Tinglin and Yang Ge, and ask him to stop Liu Guangbi's army north of Guangxin."

"If Liu Guangbi crosses the Shanguan Pass from Guangxin to deliver grain to Azig, it will have an adverse impact on our battle situation." He hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "One more thing to add, if he has the strength to fight, it is best to send troops to strengthen the defense of Shanguan." ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's do the rest first, you arrange these two things first." Zhu Linmiao patted Zhang Jiayu on the shoulder, turned around and got on the horse, "The rest depends on how we block Azig in Shaowu and eat it." It's going to be an uphill battle. ”

"Blocked in Shaowu?" Zhang Jiayu was stunned for a moment, but saw that Zhu Linmiao had driven his horse away, so he had to say to himself: "Jianyu has been going west for ten days, and no matter how fast our army marches, I am afraid that we can only chase it to Jiangxi to destroy the enemy." Your Highness or maybe you miscalculated the mileage? ”

After most of the battle, the soldiers of the Long Wei Army and the Broken Camp were quite tired, and Zhu Linmiao ordered the soldiers to use the ready-made camp of the Qing army to make minor repairs.

However, all the senior officers and the company commanders of the three engineer companies could not rest, and they received Zhu Linmiao's order to rush to the Chinese army's big tent in the former Bolo to attend the all-army combat meeting.

"Your Highness, from Nanping to Shanguan, the army needs to go for more than 20 days." Deng Shan was an anxious man, and when he saw that the people were almost coming, he hurriedly said, "The captive army has now gone half the way, we should pull out the camp as soon as possible, and the army can ...... all the way."

He thought about it, and suddenly said in frustration, "I can't catch up...... It's okay, let's go back to our hometown in Jiangxi to clean up the thieves! ”

"Jiannu entered the Jiangxi realm, I am afraid that the people of Jiangxi will be poisoned again." Gu Yanwu sighed, "In addition, if Azig leaves a heavy army to defend Shanguan, if we want to take the pass, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of price." ”

Zhu Linmiao sat down on the top, but did not speak, only instructed Shi Lin and a few personal soldiers to spread out the huge military map on the table.

"Your Highness, I have a way to get us to Shanguan before Azig." Zhen Zhen had been bowing his head and pondering before, but at this time, he suddenly jumped up and said such a sentence, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tent.

"Oh? General Zhen, please speak. Zhu Linmiao also said with interest.

Zhen Zhen pointed to the map that had just been laid out on the table, "From Nanping to Shanguan, although it is only less than 700 miles to go straight, it will pass through the tributaries of Jianxi, Chongyang Creek, Futun Creek and these streams along the way, so the actual distance will be doubled." ”

Zhu Linmiao looked at Zhen Zhen from the side, and couldn't help nodding approvingly, which made Yu Shura's spirit even more sufficient.

She continued: "Azig fought deep into the guest land, and he couldn't get boats at all, and he was brought with him a northern soldier, so he was not used to taking the waterway, so he could only go around the river.

"But we are different, there are few people in Jiangxi who are not used to taking boats. His Royal Highness then requisitioned the nearest civilian boat in the name of the imperial court, and our army traveled along the river by boat, much faster than on foot, and would definitely be able to reach the luster before Jiannu! ”

Luster is the gateway of Shanguan, only dozens of miles away from Shanguan, and getting off the boat at the ferry port of Luster is almost to Shanguan.

The generals in the tent couldn't help but nod when they heard this.

"General Zhen is a good plan."

"Jade Shura's method is feasible."

"Although General Zhen's method can speed up the march quickly," only Zhang Jiayu shook his head slightly, "but it is not easy to implement."

"The arrival of the Azig troops at Shanguan, plus the time for attacking the pass, I am afraid that it will not exceed twelve or three days. For the sake of safety, it is best for our army to arrive around the 10th.

"And if you want to go west from the boat, the first thing is to take the boat. Yanping has recently been devastated by the looting of Jiannu, where can I find thousands of ships in a moment? In addition, our army is now building the lower reaches of the river, and if it takes the waterway, it should first detour south into Futun Creek, and then go west. There is no harm in detouring, but the current at the confluence of the two rivers is quite fast, and it is extremely dangerous to sail. ”

Shi Lang also thought of something on the side, and interjected: "Also, even if you can get a boat in time, it must be some fishermen's boats, how to carry the baggage equipment and cannons?" ”

Zhen Zhen couldn't help but sit back in his chair in frustration when he heard this, and said worriedly: "How is this good?" ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said: "The method is actually ready-made, but everyone didn't pay much attention to our engineer company in the past, so they didn't think about it in this way." ”

He glanced at Zhen Zhen again, "General Zhen's method has been said most of it right. He was blocked by the river and had to go around, but we walked in a straight line. ”

"Straight line?" Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"Generally speaking, from Nanping to Gloss, you should first go north, bypass Jianxi, and then go northwest. Tomorrow we will go straight west without detours. ”

"But on the west side is the lower reaches of Futun Creek, how to cross the river?"

Zhu Linmiao looked at Chen Yi and gestured, "Okay, let's tell you in detail." ”

"Yes!"

……

Fan Shaozu didn't know how he escaped from the Ming army. He only knew that he had been hit by a sword in the arm, and there were only three of the dozens of personal guards beside him at this time, and all of them were wounded.

"General, where are we headed now?" One of the guards asked him.

"To the south," Fan Shaozu gritted his teeth, "pretending to be a refugee, mixing out of Fujian from Shanghang, and then taking a boat from Guangdong to Zhejiang." ”

The guard was about to answer, when he suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "General, there is a Ming army!" ”

Cao Hongzu didn't know how he ran all the way here, and he didn't even know where he was at this time. He only knew that he had changed three horses along the way, and that only a dozen or so personal guards were still following him in his army of 3,000 at this time.

"General, what are we going to do now?" A guard asked him.

"Jiang Zhengxi, this puppet!" Cao Hongzu hated, "He actually said that Jianzhu had been defeated, damn it, Lao Tzu was surrounded by at least twenty or thirty thousand captives last night!" We will return to Tianxing Mansion immediately, and Lao Tzu will join him! ”

He was angry, and when he turned his head, he saw a few prisoners under the hills not far away, his heart trembled, and he said loudly: "Go quickly, take prisoners!" ”

So the two groups of men turned around almost simultaneously and fled desperately in opposite directions.
