"That's it! You shut up! ”

Zhu Jie shouted, "Now that we are being attacked on three sides, no one knows in which corner, and there is still our enemy hidden, you people only know how to charge into battle, can't you overlook the overall situation from the highest vantage?" One Zuo Liangyu and one Zhang Xianzhong, is it worth sending all the cadres out? ”

Zhu Jie roared angrily, and closed his mouth obediently, the brothers gags on weekdays, which is harmless, but now in extraordinary times, he can't do it against the emperor.

Zhu Jie naturally also has Zhu Jie's considerations, this expedition, it can be said that the imperial court does not have any advantage, only the strength of three towns, Huang Degong's Luzhou Town is nearly 30,000 people, 20,000 people in the front town of Nanjing, 20,000 people in the back town of Nanjing, a total of 70,000 troops, but Zhang Xianzhong's troops alone have reached 150,000 people, Zuo Liangyu's command has always been known for its large number of people, even if it is conservatively estimated, there are at least 50,000 troops, combined, more than 200,000 people, even among the 200,000 troops, there are not many elite forces, However, Luzhou Town in the south of the Yangtze River is not a Tianwei Army, and Nanjing Houzhen has just been established for more than a month, most of them are new troops, and only Nanjing Qianzhen can be regarded as a real elite force, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

Whether it is Gao Jie to ask for battle, or to check the bolt, it is not the best choice, after all, in terms of qualifications, the three of them are not much different, and the check bolt has the shallowest qualifications, but the ability is the strongest, and Zhong Yue's ability is also good, but the same qualifications are insufficient, Gao Jie and Huang Degong have qualifications, but I am afraid that they may not be able to deal with the current crisis, it is too sinister, and several people may not be able to sincerely admire each other, at this time, there is only one way, that is, let Sun Chuanting personally take command of the expedition, Only Sun Chuanting has enough qualifications to deter these arrogant generals and has enough ability to control the overall situation.

Gao Jie put the knife on his neck just now, if he didn't let him go on the expedition, he was afraid that this guy would really make trouble, as for the check, it was okay to say that he could still restrain it, after all, he brought it out single-handedly, which was completely different from Gao Jie, who was very senior.

Moreover, as soon as Sun Chuanting left, the Ministry of War could not be left without someone to preside over the overall situation, and the investigation bolt had always been steady, slightly better than Qin Mufeng, and he was the best candidate to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Sun Chuanting said urgently: "Your Majesty, if you do this, our capital will have no defense power at all, in case there is a change in the capital, but what is good?" ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Okay, Baigu, this battle is in your hands, Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu together, the strength of more than 200,000, even if the troops of the three towns are handed over to you, it is still insufficient, not to mention the strength of the three towns, you can only mobilize two towns now, Huang Degong can't move at all, so I am determined to let you fight Zuo Liangyu first, in the shortest time, Zuo Liangyu will be destroyed, and then lead the army to the west to copy Zhang Xianzhong's back road from the southwest, and Huang Degong to form a flanking situation, In one fell swoop, Jiangnan won the game! ”

Sun Chuanting worried: "Your Majesty, your strategy is like a commanding height, it is the best policy, now Zhang Xianzhong is strong, even if we are three towns together, in the short term, we will not be able to distinguish the winner or loser, at this time, let Zuo Liangyu give us a knife from the back, I am afraid that it is really enough for us to drink a pot, fortunately, now Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong are fighting separately, there is no contact, just give us each opportunity to break through." The only thing that the minister is worried about is the safety of the Beijing Division, all the four towns of Nanjing are on the march, and there is not a single elite force in Nanjing City, and all that is left behind is the strength of some soldiers and horses, at most plus the thousands of troops of the current musket battalion, once something happens, it will be a big trouble! ”

"Bai Gu, you don't have to worry about this, I am in Nanjing, don't talk about some small fish and shrimp, even if Dolgon personally led the army to besiege Nanjing City, I can also let him return with a feather!"

Zhu Jie said proudly, "What's more, didn't I let Zhao Zhenghang reorganize the Beijing camp again?" I want to build a 50,000-strong Beijing camp in the shortest possible time, hum, wait, wait until the day the Beijing camp is formed, which is the time when we counterattack Manchuria, don't say Zuo Liangyu Zhang Xianzhong, it is Dolgon, this will also make him hate the battlefield! ”

Sun Chuanting really doesn't know where the emperor got such a big confidence this time, anyway, he has no confidence at all, the army of the three towns is dealing with Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong, even if he is the commander of a hundred battles, one of the three famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, he is definitely not sure enough to win the battle against the two major forces, Zuo Liangyu is okay to say, Zhang Xianzhong is really difficult to deal with......

However, since the emperor said that he grasped the possible crisis in Nanjing in the future, it would be difficult for him to persuade anything, after all, if he really took out another real force, he would really not be able to fight against Zhang Xianzhong, forty or fifty thousand troops against Zhang Xianzhong's 150,000 troops, don't even think about it, there is almost no chance of victory at all!

"Bai Gu, it's you, tell me, how sure are you that you can defeat Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong in this battle?"

Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu is not worried, the minister led the army of the two towns to go out, Zuo Liangyu will undoubtedly be defeated, however, the key is that in how long can the minister defeat Zuo Liangyu, the speed must be fast, if the speed is too slow, I am afraid that the minister will defeat Zuo Liangyu, I am afraid that General Huang Degong's Luzhou Town has also been completely annihilated, and 30,000 troops will face the conscription of 150,000 troops, Huang Degong will definitely have no power to return to heaven!" At that time, the minister will face 150,000 Zhang Xianzhong's rebels in the second town of Nanjing, it is difficult to have a chance of victory, if the minister can defeat Zuo Liangyu before the collapse of Huang Degong's department, and rush to the aid of Wuchang Mansion, then the minister will have four or five percent certainty, defeat Zhang Xianzhong, at least he can be forced to retreat to the border between Huguang and Sichuan! ”

Zhu Jie nodded, Sun Chuanting was right, the soldiers are fast, but Zuo Liangyu is easy to deal with? There are at least fifty or sixty thousand troops, this kid doesn't love anything, he loves to raise soldiers, he is cunning and difficult, how easy is it to defeat Zuo Liangyu before Huang Degong collapses?

"In this way, Bai Gu, I will equip you with all the rockets produced by the Firearms Bureau now, plus nearly two thousand musketeers in the second town of Nanjing, the combat power is by no means comparable to Zuo Liangyu, as for how to make a plan, it is your business, in a month, you must solve Zuo Liangyu's main force and rush to Wuchang Mansion!"

Half a month!

It takes at least half a month to rush from Nanjing to Jiujiang Mansion alone, that is to say, the emperor only gave Sun Chuanting half a month!

Everyone looked at each other, and they all sweated for Sun Chuanting!
