【Chapter 490】Put a big pocket on Lin Dan Khan
At the beginning of the military meeting, Zhang Tianhao first introduced the relevant situation straight to the point. Sure enough, when everyone heard that Lin Dan Khan had arrived again, their faces suddenly became angry. This bastard, who had no grievances with the white-clothed army, why did he always find trouble with the white-clothed army? Was he really blinded by a woman? Is it true that he can't give up Tessna? How can such a person be the Great Khan of the Mongols?
Gao Jie was the first to react, he stood up angrily, and said in a sharp tone: "This Lin Dan Khan is really underwhelming!" Haven't you been scared last time? Since he dares to come, we dare to beat him! I didn't beat enough last time, but this time I'm going to beat it harder! ”
Several peers laughed and echoed: "That's right! Hit him! Beat it hard! ”
Xia Kewu said calmly: "It's strange, how could Lin Dan Khan come at this juncture?" If you don't come early or late, did Mo Yuegen inform him to come? This damn Mo Yuegen, he must have colluded with Lin Dan Khan and wanted to attack us on both sides. Lin Dan Khan probably thought that our troops in Ningxia Town were empty, and wanted to attack us again. That was the case last time. He's going to do it again! ”
Liu Heng nodded and said, "It's completely possible!" Mo Yuegen is blocked here by us, and he is in a dilemma. If this confrontation continues, it will not do him any good. The longer the standoff, the greater his losses. However, he loved face and was embarrassed to find his own people to relieve the siege, so he had to lure Lin Dan Khan to go south. Lin Dan Khan had an enmity with us, and thought that our rear forces were empty, so he probably agreed. ”
Zhang Yi and the others all nodded, thinking that this was very possible.
Gao Yigong pondered and said, "Since Mo Yuegen can collude with Lin Dan Khan, will he collude with the imperial court?" If Lin Dan Khan sends troops to attack our rear, and the imperial court also sends troops to attack our east side, will our situation be a little dangerous? ”
Zhang Yi was a little surprised and said, "Mo Yuegen colluded with the imperial court? Probably not, right? It is impossible for the imperial court to secretly cooperate with the Tatars, right? Aren't the Tatars and the imperial court bitter enemies? ”
Gao Yigong said methodically: "I think it's possible." Didn't you say before, in this world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! The Tatars and the imperial court were the same, and if it had been before, they certainly could not have cooperated. However, now, because of our existence, the imperial court may change its mind. ”
"Mo Yuegen wants to deal with us, and the court also wants to deal with us, and this is the basis for their cooperation. They have common interests. Especially now, Mo Yuegen is blocked by us in Gansu Town, and he is in a dilemma. In order to break the predicament, he will definitely find a way. Perhaps, he will promise the court a lot of good conditions. Perhaps, the court will be moved. ”
Xia Kewu interjected: "I agree with Yigong's opinion, now, anything is possible. Maybe the imperial court let Lin Dan Khan go south? ”
Liu Heng said a little strangely: "Lin Dan Khan will listen to the imperial court?" ”
Liu Chuang said angrily: "Why can't Lin Dan Khan listen to the imperial court? Didn't you say it before? The imperial court had a large number of weapons and food to be given to Lin Dan Khan. I don't understand the big truth, I only know that the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, since Lin Dan Khan has taken so many benefits from the imperial court, he naturally has to listen to the imperial court. Otherwise, where will there be something for him in the imperial court next time? ”
Liu Heng touched the back of his head and felt that Liu Chuang's words might not be unreasonable. Lin Dan Khan was in Baihuze, and he did lose a lot of weapons and equipment. If he wants to make up for all these weapons and equipment, he can only find the imperial court. And the imperial court, of course, could not give him weapons and equipment for free. Therefore, it is entirely possible for him to deal with the white-clothed army.
Everyone is analyzing the current situation. Purely in terms of cultural level, there are few people here who can read and write, except for Xu Xingxia and Zhang Tianhao. However, this in no way prevents them from effectively analysing the current situation. As the saying goes, there are many people with great strength, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and the people here are all stinkers, and a few people together are better than Zhuge Liang. The best result of everyone's analysis is that it is entirely possible for Mo Yuegen, Lin Dan Khan, and the imperial court to unite and jointly deal with the white-clothed army. Therefore, the white-clothed army could not afford not to be on guard.
When everyone was discussing, Xu Xingxia just listened quietly and rarely interjected. Slowly, I heard a lot of new meanings. Basically, everyone studied and considered the problems together, and they were very comprehensive. What kind of actions will there be, or what kind of conspiracy and tricks will there be in the three aspects of Mo Yuegen, Lin Dan Khan, and the imperial court, everyone has basically thought of it. If so many people brainstorm and work together to make mistakes, and there are omissions in the end, it can only be blamed for not favoring themselves. Fortunately, this may not have a big surname.
Of course, from everyone's words, Xu Xingxia also heard a lot of problems. The main problem of the commanders is that they are a little impatient and not calm enough. They are all accustomed to leading troops to rush and fight, and their surnames are naturally affected by this kind of fierce attack. They all wanted to chop Lin Dan Khan with one knife and never suffer in the future. Of course, there is nothing wrong with such a war-seeking mentality. If there is no such idea, the morale of the troops will be greatly reduced.
The strength of Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan is basically counted. Only the strength of the imperial court is unknown. Although it is said that the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is indeed not flattering. However, no one can guarantee whether the imperial court will send hundreds of thousands of people to support the white-clothed army. Even if it is hundreds of thousands of pigs, it is very troublesome to clean up. In addition, the elite troops of the imperial court in the Liaodong region are relatively combat-effective. If the imperial court transfers them back, it can still put some pressure on the white-clothed army.
Xia Kewu expressed his opinion, he said: "There are 8,000 people from the Shooting Army sitting in Yulin City, and there is a leopard cavalry army in Weixi Mansion, I don't think there is any danger in the east. If the imperial court mobilizes a large number of troops from Shanxi Town to Xi'an Mansion, our troops will enter Taiyuan City in one go. As long as we control Taiyuan City, I'm afraid that the emperor in the capital will not be able to sit still. The officers and soldiers of Xi'an Mansion are afraid that they will also retreat. ”
Everyone deeply agrees with his statement. In fact, even if Mo Yuegen colluded with the imperial court, he would not have much impact on the white-clothed army. The combat effectiveness of the imperial army is indeed a bit weak. It is not impossible to annoy the white-clothed army and directly attack Taiyuan City. Of course, this refers to the imperial army around Shaanxi, not including the Ming army in the Liaodong region.
Intelligence shows that the elite of the Ming army is basically concentrated in Liaodong. The total strength is estimated at at least 100,000 troops. This was in preparation for the later Battle of Salhu. It's just that at this time, no one would have thought that the Ming army would be defeated. At that time, from top to bottom, the imperial court felt that it would not take a lot of effort to clean up the wild boar Pinurhachi.
Xia Kewu suddenly asked with great interest: "Who knows what the situation in Liaodong is?" What is the origin of that big gold country? Why is a bunch of barbarians so powerful? ”
Liu Heng said: "I heard others say that those barbarians are very powerful in war, and they are not afraid of death at all. Their riding and archery skills are actually not very good, but they are very brave in foot combat. They are strong in hand-to-hand combat and are also very capable of archery. Sometimes, a dozen officers and soldiers can't take it against a barbarian. ”
Xia Kewu frowned and said, "Is it really so powerful?" Can't even kill muskets? ”
Liu Heng shook his head and said, "Of course, our muskets can be killed, but the muskets of the officers and soldiers cannot." The muskets of the officers and soldiers were so short that they were often killed by the barbarians' bows and arrows before they could shoot. Or maybe the barbarians haven't even been in range, and they shoot indiscriminately, and the result is a waste of ammunition. Anyway, the situation over there is not very good. ”
Seeing that everyone's minds were turned to Liaodong, Xu Xingxia knocked on the table gently, pointed to the map on the wall, pulled the topic back, and said, "The situation in Liaodong, I will report to you later." What do you think about Lin Dan Khan? ”
Liu Chuang was anxious, and said without thinking: "What do you think?" Let's him! ”
Xia Kewu said: "What you have to do is definitely what you have to do, the question is how to do it." Last time in Baihuze, we Lin Danhan once, he may not feel cool enough, and he has to do it again. We're going to find a way to satisfy him, preferably ruthlessly. ”
Zhang Yi said uncertainly: "Or like Bai Huze?" ”
A few people nodded. In the battle of Baihuze, in fact, Lin Dan Khan suffered a big loss. From the time Lin Dan Khan's troops left the city of Guihua to his final gray rollback, it was estimated that the loss of personnel was at least more than 15,000 people. Fifteen thousand people is definitely not a small number for the cavalry of the nomads. Most of you here feel that this kind of battle might as well be fought a few more times. After three or four times, it is estimated that Lin Dan Khan will not be able to bear it. He killed a cavalry force of 100,000.
Gao Jie suddenly said: "I do have an idea, but it's a bit risky. ”
Everyone's faces suddenly lit up, and their eyes were focused on Gao Jie's body. The battle of Bai Huze can indeed teach Lin Dan Khan a lesson, but everyone thinks that there is no challenge to the battle similar to Bai Huze. If Gao Jie has any way, it can be a little more exciting and more powerful, and he might as well use it to receive Lin Dan Khan.
Xia Kewu said eagerly: "Say it! What's not risky about going to war? ”
Xu Xingxia also looked at Gao Jie, nodded calmly, and said encouragingly: "Gao Jie, say it!" ”
Gao Jie said slowly: "It's better for us to do nothing on the road, and directly put Lin Dan Khan near Zhenyuan Pass, and then the Xiao cavalry army suddenly went south, and the shooting army suddenly moved west, surrounded him, and ate him in one go!" ”
"Huh?"
"Eat it in one go?"
"Tens of thousands of people who ate Lin Dan Khan in one go?"
Before Gao Jie's words fell, there was already chaos in the conference room.
I have to say that Gao Jie's plan is simply too bold and terrifying, and he actually wants to eat tens of thousands of Lin Dan Khan's tens of thousands of people in one go! However, Lin Dan Khan's tens of thousands of people, is it so easy to eat? It's good to have such an idea, but the premise is that you have to have such a big appetite. Does the White Army have such an appetite?
Xu Xingxia waved his hand and quieted everyone down.
Gao Jie pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This plan, which seems ridiculous and whimsical, is actually completely possible to be implemented. Because, the Xiao cavalry army is just on the north side of Zhenyuan Pass, and the shooting army is also freeing up, so there should be no major incident here. As long as Lin Dan Khan is close to Zhenyuanguan, we can complete the siege. ”
Xia Kewu looked at the map on the wall, frowned and said, "There is no problem with the north, east, and south, but ...... What about the west side? Who will surround the west side? ”
Liu Heng said with a smile: "There is a big desert in the west, why should we surround it?" ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Xia Kewu touched his head and laughed along. It's really confusing, such an obvious fact, I'm still worried. Yes, if Lin Dan Khan is surrounded near Zhenyuan Pass, there is an advantage, and that is to block his retreat. With the Yellow River to the east and the Great Desert to the west, as long as the white-clothed army blocked the north and south, Lin Dan Khan would be in trouble. With the white-clothed army blocking him, he would definitely not be able to cross the Yellow River. If he enters the Great Desert, with the harsh conditions of the Great Desert, he will shed his skin if he does not die.
Of course, things won't be as simple as everyone says. There is still a lot of meticulous work to be done to really implement this plan. It also requires a lot of people to rack their brains and search for dry intestines to carry out all aspects of the overall consideration. However, as long as there is such an idea, it is natural that someone will work out the steps in detail and analyze whether it is feasible. Everyone present felt that this idea was much better than Bai Huze's combat methods. Even if he can't completely annihilate Lin Dan Khan, at least he can break one of Lin Dan Khan's ribs and tell him not to be so arrogant in the future.
Under the influence of Xu Xingxia, the top level of the white-clothed army gradually formed a consensus. That is, when dealing with the enemy, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. A guy like Lin Dan Khan just wants to kill one or two of his most elite troops to make him feel afraid. Don't you have 50,000 cavalry? Yes! Let's kill all the iron lance cavalry, and see if you don't come to trouble the white-clothed army in the future!
Gao Jie volunteered and said, "My lord, I think that after the cannon arrives, there will be 5,000 people guarding Gulang City. The rest of the troops can go back to deal with Lin Dan Khan. I estimate that as long as the artillery arrives, Mo Yuegen will definitely not attack. ”
His statement has been agreed by many people. Indeed, after the cannon arrived, Mo Yuegen had no reliance. If he forcibly attacked Gulang City, he would definitely break his head and bleed. Mo Yuegen is not stupid, he would not do such a stupid thing.
