Three days later, an astonishing news began to spread across Shandong. After the army gathered on the South Road, Tarzi actually assembled a heavy army to attack Qingzhou Mansion, the important town of Shandong!
And the offensive was very fierce, and the tendency to take Qingzhou Mansion in one fell swoop made the hundreds of thousands of people in the city panic! However, fortunately, at night, the encirclement of the dog tarzi was relatively loose, or the Qing army in charge of the guard was "dereliction of duty", and the messenger in the city for help slipped out easily, and then all the way to find the camp who came to ask for help.
When the messenger for help finally saw Lu Xiangsheng, he pleaded bitterly to him: "Master Lu, hurry up and send troops to rescue Qingzhou! Otherwise, if the prince has something wrong with it, we, we..." The messenger couldn't imagine it anymore.
And Lu Xiangsheng's face is very ugly! With his wisdom, of course the intention of the Qing army can be seen... This is the intention of the drunkard not to drink! The attack on Qingzhou is fake, but it’s real to mobilize our army...
However, there is really no good way to deal with Tarzi's tactics! Go to the rescue to die! If you don't go to the rescue, you will die!
However, Lu Xiangsheng is the head of the camp after all, so he was not in a hurry when something big happened. After he comforted the messenger for a while, then he summoned the generals of the camp to discuss the matter together.
Now the generals of the camp, only the reinforcements of the three towns of Xuanda were left, and after Lu Xiangsheng said this, the faces of the camps became very difficult to look at.
"Grandma's, Gou Danzi is forcing us to die!" Shanxi's general soldier Hu Dawei said bitterly. Obviously, everyone can see clearly now. Gou Danzi is forcing them to go forward. Go to the rescue! And as long as they go to the rescue, it is inevitable that they have to fight against Danzi.
"This... How about we delay for a while and send troops slowly, otherwise the Tartars are now in great power, and we are afraid to fight..." One of the participants tentatively said.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words were spoken, the veteran Yang Guozhu already sighed: "Do you dare to send troops slowly? If Qingzhou Mansion is breached, can you afford a big hat that can't help you?"
"Hey—" All the people present sighed after hearing it, and I have to say that this trick of the dog tart is still very poisonous. Although they know this is a conspiracy, it seems that they must be rescued! Otherwise, let's not talk about how it is now. When it is time to evaluate the situation after the war, no one can bear the big hat of a lost relatives who is not saved!
After listening to the opinions of a group of generals, Lu Xiangsheng finally said slowly: "Generals, since I am a military commander, it is necessary for me to serve the country faithfully! Therefore, the question of whether to rescue is no longer necessary. I will discuss it now. Yes, on the premise that rescue is necessary, how can we reduce our army's losses!"
After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's final statement, Yang Shanlu, who had been silent for a long time, just sighed in his heart, no way, Lu Xiangsheng was a competent minister, but he was even more of a loyal minister! For him, the prince is also his ruler, so he must go to the rescue!
In fact, Yang Shanlu is very disapproving of this. What kind of prince does he think? It doesn't matter to produce, it's just a group of pigs raised by the royal family! Therefore, in order to rescue a useless vassal king, it is absolutely not worth the loss to fight all these professional soldiers who can fight well!
However, Yang Shanlu knows that such a thing cannot be said at all, at least for this kind of occasion... Otherwise, it would be a rebellious thing! Now it's the end of Ming Dynasty, what is important is the death of the king and the minister, the minister has to die! Therefore, the only thing that can be considered now is how to reduce our army's losses and achieve the best results, as Lu Xiangsheng said.
Of course, even at such a disadvantage, Yang Shanlu is absolutely unwilling to be led by the nose by the dog Tartar... After all, how flexible his brain is, he soon came up with a poisonous plan against the Qing army. Way.
Although this method is somewhat risky for him, Yang Shanlu has made up his mind. When the time comes, he will look at the development of the situation. If it is really out of control, then he will take some risks and implement this method to solve the whole problem. The bondage of the army!
At this time, hearing that Lu Xiangsheng had made a decision, all the members of the camp were a little sad, but they stopped discussing the question of whether to rescue or not. Instead, they started to study carefully after unfolding a map of Qingzhou.
The terrain around Qingzhou is generally open, with loess belts and no hidden objects such as mountains and forests, so it is a good place to start a decisive battle. Of course, this is a nightmare for the disadvantaged party.
So after doing some research, two points of view were discussed. The first one is to directly attack with 25,000 troops, and then try to rush into Qingzhou Mansion, so that you can rely on Qingzhou Mansion’s city defense and defend. , And then save the entire Qingzhou Prefecture.
And the disadvantage of this is that the first step is not necessarily feasible. With 25,000 people against the 40,000 army of Tartar, you may not be able to rush into the city, and you will suffer heavy losses if you rush in!
And even if you can rush in, within a period of time, you can rely on the advantage of the city wall to get a good kill ratio, but in the long run, there is no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside. If the whole city is surrounded by Tartars, then It is also a dead place.
But in any case, this is also a method.
The second method is to fight directly with Danzi! The advantage of this method of attacking the rear of the Tartar is that the tactics are more flexible, and you can retreat if the situation is not good. However, the disadvantage is that the Ming army’s individual combat strength was originally weaker than the Qing army. Fighting their strengths (Tazi is a strength in the field), I'm afraid that there will be more fortunes...
But in any case, this can be considered a method.
After the generals had expressed their opinions, Lu Xiangsheng frowned... Although these two methods seem to be possible, they have fatal shortcomings! If this one is careless...
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng discovered that Yang Shanlu, who had always been more active, frowned and remained silent. Lu Xiangsheng was moved in his heart and simply named directly: "Zhen Guo, you have always had a lot of fantastic ideas, now All the generals have spoken freely. If you have any thoughts, please let everyone listen."
"Okay-since this is the case, I will dare to express my opinion." Yang Shanlu nodded. In fact, he was already considering the wording. Although his statement was said at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was still a bit rebellious, but for the sake of To preserve the vitality of the Ming army, he still has to say, he doesn't want to consume all these elite professional soldiers for the loyalty of one family and one name!
So Yang Shanlu first glanced at the surrounding generals, and then sternly said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Guardian, the final general does have some rough ideas about this battle, but before that, the final one has to dare to ask, you What is the goal of this battle? Is it true that I want to rescue the prince, or is it just a relief gesture and fulfilling my responsibility?"
Well, when asked about Yang Shanlu's words, it can be said that it is a bit rebellious. How dare you just make a gesture to rescue the feudal lord? Aren't you afraid of being drowned by those Yushi's saliva? But Yang Shanlu dare! As the saying goes, the king is the lighter, and the community is the most important! Not to mention just to rescue a stupid king!
(In the original history, this king of Heng, Zhu Youmuti, lived until the end of the Ming Dynasty and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. However, only two years after the surrender, I was murdered by the Qing Dynasty for the purpose of privately hiding gold, jade and silver seals. Matter, so Yang Shanlu looks down on him very much)
But when Yang Shanlu dared to ask this, Lu Xiangsheng's answer was even more difficult.
Of course, as the head coach of the camp, Lu Xiangsheng is in danger for the entire army. Knowing that under such circumstances, Yang Shanlu would certainly not ask casually. He just thought about it, and then asked solemnly: "Zhen Guo, if it is. What if you want to rescue the prince? If it's just a gesture, then what?"
"It's very simple—" Yang Shanlu said loudly: "If you are sure you want to rescue the feudal lord, the best way is for the whole army to rush into Qingzhou Mansion. In this way, you can do your best to achieve this goal. Of course, I am not optimistic about the result of this. After the entire army enters the Qingzhou Mansion, it is tantamount to entering a dead place. Honestly speaking, there is little hope of our army's survival."
"Yeah—" Lu Xiangsheng nodded, agreeing with Yang Shanlu's opinion.
"So what if it's the latter?"
"If it is the latter, then our army's combat methods will become much more flexible, and while making a posture to rescue the vassal king, it can also retain our army's vitality to the greatest extent."
And hearing Yang Shanlu say this, the generals in the camp stopped talking, but focused all their eyes on Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng's face became very serious... He became silent, because he knew that he took it. The next decision will determine the fate of this army!
And Yang Shanlu stared at him closely, seeing what decision this rare handsome talent would make in the late Ming Dynasty!
After a long silence, Lu Xiangsheng said slowly: "Zhen Guo, let alone the rest, let me ask you, if it's just a gesture to rescue the prince, what should our army do?"
Wow, after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's question, all the generals present were relieved. Although Lu Xiangsheng has not made a clear statement, he obviously has this tendency! And this is very important! This tendency represents his attitude!
Of course, it was not easy for Lu Xiangsheng to make this decision! As an absolutely wise man, Lu Xiangsheng must know that this topic is not contaminated in the slightest... Is it possible to rescue the prince and to rape? Can it just be a gesture? This is almost the same as the emperor and his son... But as for Lu Xiangsheng, he just asked!
well! Yang Shanlu nodded secretly, and Lu Xiangsheng made this choice, which further enhanced his personality charm! Even above the many famous officials in the late Ming Dynasty! Because this represents that he has broken the shackles of foolishness and loyalty, and truly embodies the idea that the ruler is the lighter and the community is the most important!
And this is also very obvious. Many wise men in history have made the wrong choice when facing this critical decision of right and wrong, and ruined the world! Let me give two examples.
First, it is like the Songjin War that broke out three years later in the original history, which is a decisive battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties to determine the fate of both sides! Hong Chengchou led the Eighth Army, the 130,000 last Ming regular army, and the Tartars fought decisively outside the pass (rescuing Jinzhou).
Honestly speaking, Hong Chengchou's military talents are also very good. After he first went, he fought steadily, stubbornly stubbornly at odds with Tarzi, and even had the upper hand, but it was because the court later issued several orders to urge him due to financial pressure Jinbing and Tarzi engaged in a decisive battle.
Poor Hong Chengchou, although he knew that it was not the time for a decisive battle, once he entered the army, he would be more ugly, but he did not dare to resist the imperial order. After crying a lot, he could only order the army, and the result was a big defeat! Hundreds of thousands of elite losers cleanly! The last of the imperial court was wiped out!
What's more serious is that the eight generals suffered heavy casualties! The useless waste ran away, and those who fought loyally and bravely, like General Cao Cao Bianjiao, General Guard Wang Yanchen, General Yang Guozhu of Zhenshuo, and the United Front died! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the last good generals were swept away! From then on, Daming Jiangshan has no power to recover! Three years later, Tartarians entered the customs and Shenzhou Lu Shen!
But imagine what would happen if Hong Chengchou withstood the pressure and insisted on the correct decision? Can the Tartar finally enter the customs? Therefore, at this point, Lu Xiang has made great achievements.
Let me give you another example (Although it may be long-winded, but Baima was a little excited when he wrote this, please forgive me)
Another example is the Huaihai battle three hundred years later. The Confucian general Huang Wei led the Huang Wei army to fight the main force of the People's Liberation Army in Huaihai! However, after the great war, Huang Wei has already very clear that the battlefield situation is no longer conducive to the country/military, and he has decided to implement the transfer!
But at this time, the headmaster personally walked over the battlefield and ordered him to stand by for help. At this moment of determining the fate of the entire army, Huang Wei could not get rid of the shackles of foolish loyalty, and he followed the wrong order with tears.
The final result was that after the PLA's reinforcements arrived, there was no chance for the final withdrawal, and 300,000 party/state elites were destroyed! It even included the reorganization of the Eighteenth Army, which Mr. Runzhi called "cunning as a fox and fierce as a tiger"! (Originally reorganized the 11th Division, the starting unit of the Civil Engineering Department)
The Eighteenth Army also included famous troops such as the Youth League and the Tiger Group, but as a result, the elite soldiers who could fight were killed and wounded! After this, the party/state situation has been defeated by a thousand miles, completely dead!
In contrast, the decision Lu Xiangsheng made today is so precious! It can be said to have taken all the pressure! So this has to be said, it is a sublimation of personality!
ps bowed and thanked the book friend Swellshan for rewarding 588 iron blood coins again. I rewarded yesterday and today I have... This is the first time I have encountered Baima in my writing career, bow and thank again! (End of this chapter)
