Chapter 10: The Tiger Will Have a Plan

(This is the second update)

"This deception is also!"

Psychologically, Chongzhou is closer to Qingzhou than Jiangning is to Qingzhou, in fact, the opposite.

Even after the completion of the Hanhaidi Avenue, the good news that Qingzhou sent to Chongzhou and the people sent back by Wu Qi arrived in Chongzhou a little later than Jiangning.

Gao Zongting listened to the details of the Qingzhou victory sent back by Wu Qi, and categorically judged that it was Chen Zhihu's deceptive plan.

Lin Mengde listened to the detailed description of the person sent back by Wu Qi, and he didn't think it was a fake defeat, so he asked quite puzzled: "How is it possible?" Wu Ye was also in Qingzhou City at that time, and he really killed more than 3,000 prisoners, captured countless soldiers, and killed more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Chen Zhihu and fled, how can this be fake? ”

"The world thinks that Chen Zhihu is a fierce general who is immersed in killing and is not accustomed to wisdom, so they would not think that he would use tricks, but in fact, it is not," Gao Zongting said, "The reason why Chen Zhihu's image of being ferocious and easy to kill is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is mainly because he has no mercy on weak enemies - Qing bandits, killing people in Nanwu County, Jin, and Huaisi refugees, including fighting against the luxury family in the past, he is like this." But if he is just blindly easy to kill, even if his generals are all iron-beaten King Kong, they will inevitably be consumed during the ten-year tug-of-war in Eastern Fujian. How could Chen Zhihu gain the same reputation as Dong Yuan, Lu Jingyan, Yu Wangao, and Zang Mingxin, and why did Li Shuai rely on him in everything, and even rest assured that he would stand alone in Datong? ”

Lin Jian sat on the long case, silent and silent.

Although Chen Zhihu first defended Datong, and the Datong defense line was stabbed to pieces by Donghu, this was not Chen Zhihu's fault, but the collapse of the entire situation, which made it difficult for individuals to recover. That time, Chen Zhihu finally held Datong and kept 20,000 elites for the Datong defense line, which shows that he has a handsome talent to block alone.

Huaidong's most profound image of Chen Zhihu is his purging of the Huaisi Liumin Army during his tenure as Henan's envoy - Chen Zhihu's blind killing, which was intolerant of the dozens of Liumin troops and homeless people in the Huaisi area, which probably greatly deepened the world's image of Chen Zhihu as a scheming and fierce general.

In fact, it is not, putting aside the political difficulties, from the perspective of military strategy alone, Chen Zhihu's strategy when he was appointed as Henan's envoy was not wrong.

At that time, there were too many displaced troops and displaced people gathered in the Huaiyang area, and Jiangning could not come up with enough relief food, even if it was temporarily surrendered, it would quickly surrender and rebel, which was not conducive to pacifying the situation in Henan and Huaisi as soon as possible.

Chen Zhihu's strategy at that time was to kill and deter, even if he surrendered his soldiers, he would all be slashed and buried, that is, he would drive the displaced people and the displaced army within a radius of hundreds of miles to Huaiyang City, and quickly deplete the grain reserves of the Red Jacket Army in Huaiyang at that time, and then completely trap the main force of the Displaced Army in the Huaiyang encirclement.

Under the circumstances at that time, if Huaidong had not released water on the eastern front and dragged on for another two months, hundreds of thousands of exiled people's troops, including the Red Jacket Army, would have completely collapsed and would never have been spared.

Although it was cruel, purely militarily speaking, it was also Chen Zhihu's only choice to quickly solve the chaos in Henan and Huaisi at that time.

The reason why Huaidong was able to carry out the strategy of appeasement was not that Lin Jian was more clever than Chen Zhihu in terms of military strategy, but because Huaidong was able to take out 350,000 stone rice grain per month to relieve the displaced army at that time, and was able to solve the problem of feeding these hundreds of thousands of hungry people, and resettled these people in the Huaisi area.

"The world thinks that Chen Zhihu's tactics are to rush and fight, but in fact, he is just used to using the strength of bullying to crush the weaker enemy army, which is really shocking; But in the face of a strong enemy, his playing style is far more delicate than what ordinary people see," Gao Zongting said, "Speaking of which, maybe Miss Song also feels ......."

"What does a little woman feel?" Song Jia sat on his knees and sat on Lin Zhizhi's side, and responded, "But my father has never been bargained for in Chen Zhihu's hands, just ......"

Although Song Fu no longer led the army for the luxury family at this time, in his early years, he was resourceful and said that he was a luxury Wenzhuang, listening to Gao Zongting and Song Jia, Song Fu had many opportunities to fight against Chen Zhihu back then.

Thinking about it carefully, the Five Tigers of Eastern Fujian, Gao Zongting is a minister, and the other four are all leading troops to block one side. During the war in Eastern Fujian, Chen Zhihu did not suffer major losses, while Lu Jingyan, Yu Wangao, and Zang Mingxin all suffered defeats in Eastern Fujian to varying degrees-this shows that we cannot look at the surface when looking at problems.

Lin Jian glanced sideways at Song Jia's eyes, smiled, and then turned around and motioned for Gao Zongting to continue.

Gao Zongting said: "Chen Zhihu slammed Linzi because Linzi is a weak enemy; Linzi was defenseless, so he naturally wanted to fight fast. He led his troops to rest in Linzi for a few days, and he had already given the Qingzhou defenders who were just eighty miles away a few days to breathe, and then Gao Yi led the elite to attack Qingzhou, which was not what he and Gao Yi did on weekdays......"

Qin Chengzu touched the beard on his chin, he trusted Gao Zongting's judgment.

Chen Zhihu is not a fierce general who only has the courage of a man and no strategy, Gao Zongting has been under Li Zhuo's disciple with him and has worked together for ten years, so he is more accurate than them on this issue. In addition, with Ao Canghai's wisdom and bravery, he surrendered to the Eastern Fujian Army when Li Zhuogang led the army, and always succumbed to Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi, so he knew that Chen and Gao were not in vain.

Even if Gao Zongting didn't say it, Qin Chengzu would feel that Qingzhou's victory was a little strange, but sometimes the facts were in front of him, and no one could believe it, he asked: "If it is a fraud, how can Chen Zhihu fight all the elites?" ”

Everyone can see the details of Qingzhou Zhijie, although it is a little abrupt, but it is not fake.

"Chen Zhihu's ferocity and easy to kill are not only against the enemy, but also against himself; He wouldn't think that it was not worth sacrificing three or five thousand soldiers in exchange for a victory, so there were never many soldiers and horses under his command," Gao Zongting said, "This time, the ones who were defeated under Qingzhou City should be the other soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Chen Zhihu of the new annexed army, and the forward battalion of the Tiger Army, which is under the jurisdiction of Chen Zhihu and is his henchman, should still be hidden in Linzi City, waiting to deliver a fatal blow......"

"What is he trying to do?" Sun Jingxuan asked, "Even if he fights with three or five thousand people, he can capture Qingzhou City, but now he is exchanging the lives of three or five thousand people for this defeat?" ”

"Ah," Song Jia suddenly realized, and said, "Transferring the tiger out of the mountain with a defeat is intended to be in Dengzhou Town, and its intention is to prevent Huaidong from making an obstruction!" ”

"If Liu Yefei is a tiger, but this tiger is as timid as a mouse, how can it be so easy to call it out?" Sun Jingxuan said, "If it can't be transferred, didn't Chen Zhihu lift a stone and hit himself in the foot?" ”

"Are you guessing that Liu Yefei has secretly attached to Yan Hu?" Lin Jian frowned and asked Song Jia.

"Nine times out of ten, this should be the case, and only in this way can Mr. Gao's speculation make sense," Song Jia analyzed, "Liu Ye has only been flying out of Dengzhou for a year, and he should not be able to persuade the generals of Dengzhou Town to join him to join Yanhu; But with the great victory of Qingzhou in front, it should not be difficult for Liu Yefei to transfer the main force of Dengzhou Town to Qingzhou in the name of aiding Qingzhou and fighting for war achievements......

"......" Qin Chengzu gasped and sighed, "Miss Song is really a good plan for adults, and Chen Zhihu is probably plotting Dengzhou!" Analyzing this, Qin Chengzu and the others suddenly became stunned, and said, "The topography of Dengzhou and Daoyu Village is absolutely similar to Jinhai, and Chen Zhihu is matter of preventing Jinhai is repeated in Dengzhou!" ”

After Qin Chengzu's praise, Song Jia was also a little embarrassed, and her eyes were staring at the desk.

Although Jinhai was finally captured by Yanhu, before abandoning the defense, nearly 400,000 soldiers and civilians and hundreds of thousands of stone supplies were withdrawn to Huaidong, so that Yanhu only got an empty city to be disabled.

"From this point of view, Yan Lord Ye Zier is bound to win the Dengzhou Water Master," Lin Jian sighed lightly, "Otherwise, Chen Zhihu doesn't need to invest so much." ”

If Chen Zhihu fights steadily, he may not be able to lose 3,000 or 5,000 soldiers after conquering Qingzhou and Dengzhou, but in that case, the Dengzhou Navy Division will have enough time to evacuate.

More valuable than more than 100 warships are the thousands of shipbuilders and sailors with experience in naval warfare. Without these, Yan Hu wanted to develop a sailor who competed with Huaidong in the East China Sea out of thin air, which might take twenty or thirty years.

The Huaidong Naval Division can be developed, but it is the foot of the wall of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry and the Longjiang Shipyard.

"If Liu Yefei has secretly lowered Yanhu, the speed at which the main force of Dengzhou Town will be transferred out will not be slow," Gao Zongting frowned and said, "If you want to rely on Jiangning to solve the problem, it will take seven or eight days to come and go, and it will definitely not have time to react - Huaidong is forced to the head, and he has to take a risky move!" ”

"Zhao Hu should have led his troops into the periphery of the waters of Huangcheng Island, but Chen Zhihu's plan to defeat is too strange, and Zhao Hu may not be able to react in time; And the situation and characters in Dengzhou, he is not as familiar as you," Lin Jian said, "It seems that Lao Zongting wants to go on this trip!" ”

"It is the duty of the court to share the worries of the adults...... Gao Zongting said.

It is difficult for Chongzhou to grasp the situation in Dengzhou in time, and it is impossible to accurately know when and in what way Liu Yefei will cooperate with Chen Zhihu to transfer the main force of Dengzhou Town.

Lin Jian had long been prepared for the situation in Dengzhou to be out of control, and secretly ordered Zhao Hu to transfer troops and horses from Haidong and sneak to the sea off Dengzhou to prevent the situation from changing, but Zhao Hu was not familiar with Dengzhou. And Chen Zhihu's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain with fraud and defeat, and Liu Yefei to cooperate with him, this plan is not easy to crack, and Chongzhou needs to send someone to take the town.

Lin Jian couldn't fight on the front line in everything, so he could only temporarily entrust Gao Zongting to go to Dengzhou.

When Li Zhuo was the secretary of the military department, he gave extremely strong support to the Dengzhou Town Water Division, and Gao Zongting, on behalf of Li Zhuo, traveled between the two places, not only familiar with the situation in Dengzhou, but also familiar with the generals of the Dengzhou Town Water Division. Gao Zongting went to Dengzhou, which was more suitable than Qin Chengzu and them.

Qin Chengzu said: "The Yishan side should also send people over immediately, so as not to transfer out the tigers we hid in the Yishan Mountain." ”

"Yes, I'll write a warrant and send someone to send it over." Lin Jian said.
