Chapter 386: Military Discussion

Chen Xin looked up, came to the map hanging on the wall, looked at Fuzhou on the map for a while, and fell into deep thought.

Fuzhou is about 50 kilometers away from Jinzhou, which is not too far, and the reconnaissance unit of the special service regiment has already begun to operate in Fuzhou.

Although they had sent back some news about Fuzhou before, the information was still very vague.

It is only estimated that in the main area of Fuzhou City, the number of Houjin Tartars is about two Niu Lu, of which the main battle soldiers account for about half.

The information that continued to the north of Fuzhou showed a blank space, and for the current kingdom, it was an unknown land covered by the fog of war.

Moreover, even a spy in the kingdom who penetrated into the enemy's interior could not provide much information about the place.

The intelligence agents of the kingdom lurking in the Houjin are basically buried deep in the Houjin court, and there is detailed information about the local area, which is not too clear.

There is no way, Houjin implements the Eight Banners system, which is a tight but loose organization that is not much different from the tribal system.

It is said to be strict because all the military power is concentrated together, and the flags, the bailes, the ministers, the court and the localities, are constantly mixed with each other.

They closely monitored each other, so that the Eight Banners basically could not use a large army to rebel, and ordinary slaves who took the initiative to use more troops than the number of guards would be severely punished.

It is said that it is loose because the personal relationship within each banner of the Eight Banners is extremely strict, one day is a slave, a lifetime is a slave, and the betrayal of the master will be spurned by the entire Eight Banners. Moreover, there was a clear hierarchy between slaves and slave owners, and slaves could not do anything to rebel against their slave owners.

Those slave owners took advantage of this convenient condition to conceal and hide the population, so that there was a certain difference between the amount of people, livestock, materials, and so on obtained at the higher levels and the actual amount.

Therefore, unless spies are arranged into every Niulu, Jiala, and Qi, otherwise, in the court of Houjin, the intelligence officers can only get at most one official number, and it is 100% inaccurate, and there is a huge gap between it and reality.

He just knew that the news of Huang Taiji's death had not yet been transmitted, and the troops left behind in Jin had not yet lifted their vigilance, and they were ready to go forward to support Huang Taiji.

Therefore, in the vast area north of Fuzhou now, there may be a powerful Houjin cavalry unit hidden, waiting for the infantry of the Ming Dynasty or Huaxia to take advantage of the opportunity of Huang Taiji's army to enter their pre-set battlefield.

"What do you think? Let's talk about what they think. ”

As usual, Chen Xin did not rush to express his views, but motioned for everyone to speak enthusiastically and discuss issues together.

He likes to listen to people talk freely and express their own unique opinions to make up for the incompleteness of his private thoughts.

The ancestors have long given the advice that "one person is short-minded".

Everyone present smiled and looked at Fu Yan, who had just returned from the front line and reported the situation on the front line for Zachdan.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Lushun Dispatch Army, who had just returned from the front line, he had a relatively strong say among the officers present.

Fu Yan also just completed the raid on the dungeon fort between Jinzhou and Fuzhou, and followed Zachdan's order to come back to "brush his face" and earn the position of leader among the new generation of officers.

Only three of the forts used for the guard between Jinzhou and Fuzhou were manned, and the others had been destroyed during the years of war.

In those three bunkers, there were only a few dozen Houjin soldiers and a small number of Baoyi and aha.

The Houjin cavalry who escaped from Jinzhou City did not carry any supplies, so it was natural to retreat to these dungeons first to replenish some food and water.

When the Houjin army in the fort learned that Jinzhou had been conquered, they naturally followed the retreating cavalry team and fled together.

Fu Yan led more than 200 cavalry to track along the way, crushed two groups of backward enemy troops, and harvested some cattle, sheep, horses and prisoners.

Fu Yan served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Lushun Dispatch Army this time, and commanded the team with Zakdan and won a victory.

Later, he personally led his troops to attack the enemy-occupied area, and his self-confidence and prestige improved a lot, although he could not improve it immediately.

But, at least, he is no longer like a fledgling hairy boy, seeing everyone smiling at him, he is not afraid at all, and he stands up and salutes confidently.

"Greetings of love, let the subordinates speak first, then the subordinates will be ashamed. The subordinates believed that Fuzhou could not be attacked. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several officers present who were known for their toughness and offense were a little unpleasant.

In the eyes of some high-ranking officers of the Huaxia Kingdom, their own strength has grown extremely fast, and so far, although there have been several battles with heavy losses, they are basically undefeated.

Now, having won another victory on the Golden State front and gained a firm foothold, how can you not take advantage of the victory to pursue it?

Fu Yan, as a hero who came back from the front line, should have been an attacker, but now the meaning of his speech is completely opposite, it touched the brows of several officers, and it is strange that these officers can give him a good face.

Chen Xin's eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, silently noted down the number of people with different emotions, and secretly made a table.

Then, he didn't say much, and directly stretched out his hand and asked Fu Yan to continue speaking, "What is your reason?" Tell me why you came up with this opinion. ”

Fu Yan didn't care about the angry eyes of some of the officers around him, but waited for Chen Xin's next move.

When he heard the words asking him to continue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thanked Zachdan for his teaching.

When he came back, Zachdan talked to him specifically, asking him to tell the truth when he was in the military discussion, and there was no need to hide any of his thoughts, let alone make statements against his will in order to cater to anyone.

In front of the king, even if he says something wrong, unless it is a very harmful speech, otherwise, the king will never blame anyone for his words.

Moreover, if what he said was reasonable and well-founded during the military discussion, and he could convince the king and everyone present, it would also leave a deep impression in front of the king. Anyway, there are a lot of benefits.

However, Fu Yan knows that this is not the time for him to think more about these things that he has and does not have, the opportunity has already come, whether he can grasp it or not, he still has to rely on his real talent.

At this moment, in front of this group of the most intelligent elites in the country, any opportunistic and rhetorical words are useless, only to speak with facts.

He carefully sorted out his thoughts, summed up what he was going to say, and opened his mouth to explain.
