Looking at Xu Yifan's confident appearance, the four of them never doubted that Xu Yifan had always planned and then moved, never doing things that he was not sure of, either not fighting, as long as he was fighting, then he was eighty or ninety percent sure!

"But, Yifan, what if Duoduo really sent out a large army to besiege Weihui Mansion? You must know that now that Duoduo's troops are abundant, and our elite is empty, Weihui Mansion and the Yellow River crossing are both very dangerous......"

Yang Chengzu said in a deep voice.

Xu Yifan said with a smile: "So I said, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang must give me troops to the east, all the way to the hinterland of Tai'an Mansion and even farther, in this way, even if Duoduo wants to attack Weihui Mansion, there are not enough troops, and at that time, even if he wants to rush to the aid of Jierharang, there is no chance, because Tai'an is more than twice as far away from Kaifeng as Caozhou from Kaifeng, and it is seven or eight hundred miles, even if the cavalry is rushing day and night, there is no seven days, and it will not be able to reach the Kaifeng area!" ”

While he was talking, General Lu Xin hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said, "Master Inspector, the emperor has sent an urgent order from Nanjing!" ”

As he spoke, he handed a letter to Xu Yifan's hand, saying that it was an urgent order, but it was not a holy decree, but a handwritten edict, which was sent to Weihui Mansion in the form of a letter.

Xu Yifan opened the letter, read it, and said with a smile: "Everyone, you can also take a look!" ”

Deng Jiuru hurriedly took the letter, and several people gathered around to watch it together.

Tut-tut......

Just after a cursory look, several people kept exclaiming, amazing, amazing, Xu Yifan and the emperor coincided, and the two of them thought of dealing with Jierharang almost at the same time!

There are not many words on the letter, but it is just one thing, give up Luoyang, lure the enemy deep, transfer elites, set up ambushes with dangerous places, encircle and annihilate the Jierharang Department, and turn the tide of the Central Plains in one fell swoop!

Unexpectedly, Xu Yifan and the emperor were separated by two thousand miles, and they actually thought of it at the same time, to swallow Zierharang first, Xu Yifan deserves to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies that the emperor values the most!

"Admire, admire! Yifan, my old Yang has only been convinced by the emperor and you in this life, tsk, he even looked at Jierharang at the same time, you are the roundworm in the emperor's stomach! ”

Yang Chengzu exclaimed.

Xu Yifan shook his head and replied: "I'm still not as good as the emperor, the emperor is two thousand miles away, and he can judge the battle situation in the Central Plains so accurately, which is really admirable......"

It is not surprising that the two of them are staring at Jierharang at the same time, although now Jierharang has crossed the Yellow River, one south and one north with Duoduo, forming a situation of pincer attack on Weihui and Kaifeng, but it will also completely expose Jierharang to the south of the Yellow River, south of the Yellow River, Jierharang does not have any reinforcements, once he suffers a defeat, it is only a defeat of life and death, and there is no chance to turn over!

It was at this time that because of the existence of Qin Mufeng, Duoduo had to besiege Zhending Mansion, besiege Shunde Mansion, and send troops to Dongchang Mansion, the troops were scattered, and there was no longer enough strength to threaten Weihui Mansion, and it was far away from Jierharang.

Xu Yifan once again stared at the map on the wall, and said in a deep voice: "Look at it, from Luoyang City to Kaifeng Mansion, the distance is four hundred miles, from Weihui Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, but it is only two hundred miles away, and when our military order arrives in Luoyang City, Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen withdraw their troops to Weihui Mansion, how can it take more than eight days, these ten days are enough for us to prepare, we will put the ambush in the area of Zheng County, here, Jiulongyu!" Jiulongyu is the remaining vein of Songshan Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, in Luoyang to Kaifeng this straight line, Luoyang towards Kaifeng Mansion to advance, Jiulongyu is the only way, Jierharang wants to take Kaifeng Mansion as quickly as possible to echo Duoduo's army, cut off our retreat, then we must go from here, with lightning speed straight to Kaifeng Mansion, our opportunity is here! ”

Several people couldn't stop nodding, agreeing with Xu Yifan's analysis.

"Sent an order to Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen, let them abandon Luoyang City, retreat towards the Jiulongyu area, and preserve their strength; Brother Chengzu, you have to act immediately, carry all the artillery that can be pulled by the Heavenly Mighty Army, prepare 10,000 shells, arrive at Jiulongyu, set up an ambush on the spot, it is already April, the grass and trees are lush, drill into the mountain, don't talk about people, even an elephant drills in, you can't see it! Brother Yilong, your task is to cruise outside Jiulongyu, once all the Manchurian iron cavalry enters Jiulongyu, it's okay to say, cut off their retreat, wipe them out in one fell swoop, if Zilharang has a backhand, then intercept their follow-up reinforcements, don't give them a chance to turn, we have to break them all! ”

Xu Yifan continued, "Immediately give the emperor a recital, just say that I am ready, and after half a month, please wait for the emperor to wait for good news!" ”

Xu Yifan gave an order, the entire Tianwei army took action, the four towns Tianwei army plus Tongzhou Town, the five towns plus the surrendered Guanning Iron Cavalry, Weihui Mansion has nearly 80,000 troops, Xu Yifan transferred all the elites in one breath, the musket battalion and the artillery battalion all went out with the army, and in two days, they crossed the Yellow River, went straight to Zheng County, and threw Weihui Mansion to Deng Jiuru and Lan Tianzheng.

Luoyang City, such as today, the Wei army and the Nanjing Zuozhen and the Manchurian army have been fighting fiercely for nearly a month, and the casualties on both sides are not small, and they are exhausted.

Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen are still gritting their teeth and insisting, the two military towns together have 40,000 people, and now there are only more than 20,000 people, with more than one-third of the casualties, as for the casualties of Jierharang's Western Route Army, the casualties are close to 30,000, in order to ensure the strength of the army, Jierharang is still drawing troops from Shanxi to supplement the troops.

Even Li Dingguo, I don't know how long it can last, the situation is getting more and more severe, once Luoyang is lost, Kaifeng is lost again, it means that the Ming Dynasty has completely lost in this battle of fate.

"Master Li! Lord Xu Yifan of Weihui Mansion is in a hurry! ”

Shu Xinchen hurriedly walked into the prefect's yamen and shouted loudly.

Today's Governor Xu Yifan is in the Central Plains War, not only the Tianwei Army, as long as all the Ming troops in the Central Plains War are in power, they have power to control, and they are the real commanders of the three armies!

Li Dingguo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What military order?" ”

Shu Xinchen handed the warrant to Li Dingguo's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yifan orders us to abandon Luoyang City and retreat all the way to Jiulongyu in the east of Zheng County!" ”

Li Dingguo frowned and retreated? Retreating at this time, doesn't that mean that the whole of Henan will fall into the hands of the Tartars? What about the army of Weihui Mansion? What is Xu Yifan's idea?

Li Dingguo unfolded the military order, and when he understood, he hurriedly said: "Okay, good!" It seems that Xu Yifan is planning to finish his work in one battle! Brother Xinchen, let's hold on for one day, tomorrow and night, the army will abandon Luoyang! ”
