Chapter 590: Divergence
At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Emperor Zhengde, Zhang Zhijie, Wang Shouren and Peng Ze were deliberating! In the face of today's situation, what strategy to adopt next has become a matter of contention among several people.
Wang Shouren tended to rush the army straight to Jiangxi, and took Nanchang with lightning speed, so as to completely cut off the back road of King Ning's army, and now King Ning is blocked in Anqing, and he has no power to continue to go east, so he can only choose to save Nanchang!
After the army took Nanchang, they rested in Nanchang and waited for Lao Ding to break King Ning's army! This is Wang Shouren's opinion!
However, Peng Ze's opinion is different, he thinks that since King Ning's army has been blocked under the city of Anqing, the army will go straight to Anqing, and the defenders of Anqing will be able to defeat King Ning! As long as King Ning is defeated, there will be a big event, and Jiangxi will definitely fall to the wind!
"Wang Shilang's opinion is based on the premise that King Ning will lead his troops back to rescue Nanchang, but if King Ning is desperate, gives up Anqing, and directly attacks Nanjing along the east of the river, then the army is far away in Jiangxi, what can I do?" Peng Ze said excitedly.
"Peng Yushi makes sense, our army marched into Jiangxi, and the soldiers were strong, if King Ning was timid and did not choose to return to Nanchang, but gave up Anqing and went straight to Nanjing, our army would not be able to catch up with Jiangxi at all!" Emperor Zhengde frowned.
Seeing that Emperor Zhengde favored his own point of view, Peng Ze glanced at Wang Shouren like a demonstration, and Wang Shouren's face suddenly turned like black charcoal!
Emperor Zhengde glanced sideways at Zhang Zhijie and asked, "Zhijie, what do you mean?" ”
"The minister also thinks that he should march directly into Jiangxi! First, the army came from afar, people were tired and tired, and Nanchang was empty, after the army took Nanchang, it could wait for work and fight the army of King Ning who turned back to Nanchang! The second is that most of our army are northerners, they are not accustomed to water warfare, and there are not enough boats and ships, and King Ning's army is fighting in Anqing, King Ning has countless boats and boats, which can advance or retreat, and we can't help it! Moreover, the minister thought that since King Ning had been fighting in Anqing for nearly a month, he had not given up Anqing and went straight to Nanjing! Therefore, King Ning's army should definitely turn back to Nanchang! Zhang Zhijie groaned.
Listening to Zhang Zhijie's words, Emperor Zhengde, who was originally inclined to Peng Ze's opinion, hesitated a little, although he felt that Peng Ze's opinion was very reasonable, but relatively speaking, Zhang Zhijie made him feel more reliable!
So now there is no doubt that he is in a huge disagreement, at this time Peng Ze knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the battlefield is changing rapidly, although Admiral Zhang and Wang Shilang are sure that King Ning will return to Nanchang, but this is just the calculation of the two of them after all!" It is difficult to say whether King Ning will return to Nanjing! ”
"Besides, I don't know how far the war in Anqing has reached now! Anqing's defenders have been holding out for more than 20 days, and if they don't support Anqing again, the consequences will be unpredictable! ”
Emperor Zhengde hesitated again on his face, and looked at Zhang Zhijie, in fact, he felt in his heart that what Peng Ze said was indeed reasonable, and then Peng Ze kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please lead 30,000 rear troops to aid Anqing, and you will break King Ning Yu Anqing for the emperor!" ”
Emperor Zhengde was very moved when he heard this, and frowned: "Zhijie, what do you think of Peng Yushi's proposal, let Peng Yushi lead 30,000 troops to aid Anqing, which can not only relieve the siege of Anqing, but also prevent King Ning from continuing to go east and force him to turn back to Nanchang!" The rest of the army went straight to Nanchang, and after taking Nanchang, they waited for work at ease, and attacked Peng Yushi back and forth! ”
Hearing this, Wang Shouren's face changed slightly, and Zhang Zhijie muttered: "If you have to divide the troops, 30,000 is not enough!" All the troops recruited in Anhui and Jiangsu can be led by Peng Yushi and rush to help Anqing! ”
That's an army of 50,000! Emperor Zhengde hesitated a little when he heard this, but Wang Shouren's face was relieved! Peng Ze, who had been kneeling on the ground, was full of ecstasy in his heart!
Fifty thousand troops! Leading an army of 50,000 is not just to rush to the aid of Anqing and relieve the siege of Anqing! Peng Ze was completely sure that he would lead an army of 50,000 to defeat King Ning's army and capture King Ning alive!
At that time, the biggest contributor to the suppression of the chaos was himself! Even Wang Shouren and Zhang Zhijie are just foils!
Wang Shouren, who had been black-faced, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhijie and Wang Shouren agreed to let Peng Ze lead an army of 50,000 to aid Anqing, anyway, Jiangxi is empty, and when King Ning's army turns back to Nanchang, then the two armies will be the same when they attack King Ning's army before and after! Let Peng Ze lead an army of 50,000 to be safer! Thinking about it this way, Zhang Zhijie's proposal is indeed more reliable than letting Peng Ze only lead an army of 30,000!
So what should you choose? Will he follow Peng Ze's army to aid Anqing, or follow Zhang Zhijie's army to Nanchang?
After only a blink of an eye, Emperor Zhengde made a decision to follow Zhang Zhijie's army into Nanchang! I want to be more reassuring than Peng Ze or Zhang Zhijie!
Emperor Zhengde led the army with Zhang Zhijie and Wang Shouren to continue the march to Jiangxi, while Peng Ze led an army of 50,000 to aid Anqing.
Compared with the distance from Lu'an to Nanchang, the distance from Lu'an to Anqing is naturally closer! Peng Ze, who was hot in his heart, led the army to march all the way to Anqing, maybe the emperor's army had not yet arrived in Nanchang, and he had already captured King Ning alive, right?
King Ning has been fighting in Anqing for nearly a month, and even a fool knows that the army of the imperial court is coming! But King Ning still has the courage to attack Anqing, on the one hand, because King Ning is really unwilling, if he can't attack a small Anqing, then even if he becomes the emperor, it will become his own humiliation!
On the other hand, it is because King Ning's army covers the river for more than ten miles, which is the result of his painstaking management, but the imperial court can't get together so many boats and ships in a hurry, and the imperial court recruits all the northern army, so they don't know water at all, and they don't dare to fight in water!
Therefore, King Ning felt that he was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and he could attack it, and he could also calmly return to Jiangxi! Of course, King Ning had no intention of giving up his back road and going straight to Nanjing!
Because his foundation is Nanchang, if he is allowed to rush directly to Nanjing, he will be alone, and King Ning will have no bottom in his heart! So when his subordinates kept persuading him to give up Anqing and attack Nanjing directly, he sternly refused!
What's more, his princess is still in Nanchang! He didn't allow it, and he was not willing to let his peerless princess fall into the hands of Zhengde Xiaoer!
Now that he knew that the army of the imperial court was coming, King Ning naturally sent spies to investigate the movements! There are many roosters and dog thieves in his army, although they can't be compared with professional scouts, but snakes have snake paths, rats and rats, so they really let them find out the movements of the imperial army!
