After walking around, Yang Shanlu secretly rejoiced after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's inclination, and in this way, there was a lot of room for the troops to move.
So next, Yang Shanlu pointed his hand on a place called Sanduiji, seventy miles away from Qingzhou, and said loudly: "Please see, if this is the case, then our army can advance here. Then fight a big battle with Danzi right here!"
"Sanduiji?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at this place. As shown on the map, Sanduiji is just a small-scale market town, and there are no dangerous terrains such as high mountains and mountains around it. It does not seem to be a good place to defend.
When Yang Shanlu saw Lu Xiangsheng’s bewilderment, he just laughed: "Please look at the minister. The reason I chose this place is based on the following three reasons. First, Sanduiji is not far from Qingzhou, so I moved here. It also demonstrates the determination of our army to rescue. Second, the soil here is solid and the terrain is open, suitable for fighting a big battle. The third, and the most important point, is that it is backed by the Qingshui River (a tributary of the Yellow River). , Can be used as a retreat for our army! And this is also the most critical!"
Speaking of this, Yang Shanlu looked around the generals and said: "It is undeniable that although our army has fought a few big victories before, but in terms of the current situation of the enemy and us, our army is still weaker than the Qing army. In that case, The so-called "unexpected victory, preconceived defeat, first find a good retreat for the whole army, and stand in an invincible place, that is the best policy, and this Qingshui River is the retreat I find for the whole army."
Then Yang Shanlu gave a specific explanation, that is, after the army has advanced to Sanjiji, on the one hand, it can set up camps and build defensive positions. On the other hand, it can collect passing ships to make a back road, so that even if there is no war at that time Shun, you can also cross the river calmly and say goodbye to Gou Danzi.
After all, even if the Gou Danzi is adept at bowing horses, riding and shooting unparalleled in the world, if he encounters big rivers or something, this kind of people on horseback can only stare! So choosing here is to advance and attack, retreat and defend, and fully grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
As for other benefits, such as relying on the water source, the river is wide enough to drink water for the whole army, that is no longer mentioned.
"Oh, it turns out that you made this idea for Zhenguo. I have to say that it is really good." Lu Xiangsheng nodded after hearing this. Lu Xiangsheng was originally a rare handsome talent in the late Ming Dynasty. Now he is reminded by Yang Shanlu. After that, where there is still something that I don’t understand, this is a very safe strategy.
Including other generals in the camp, their eyes lit up, and I felt that this suggestion was very good. Of course, at this time, no one mentioned anything about saving the feudal lord. Everyone was pretending to be confused...
And this is also very obvious, because it is completely plausible, and the army has also advanced to relieve the siege, and also fought against the tartars, or fought against the tartars several times their own, so that no matter what the final result is, they can withstand it. The most critical look.
As a result, everyone stopped mentioning other things, but carried out further discussion and improvement around the plan proposed by Yang Shanlu.
Among them, Datong General Soldier Wang Pu didn’t quite understand it. He just asked, “General Yang, your idea is good, but if you choose to lean against the Qingshui River and collect ships, it’s not for all the sergeants. Do you know that you are preparing for a retreat? And isn't it all in the military books that say that you will die and be born afterwards?"
And Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it. This Wang Pu was brave in fighting recently, but after all, he was an officer who had spent money to buy, and he was understandable about fighting.
What the book of war says is correct, but if you really want to be put to death and reborn, at least it must be a strong army in the world! Only then can this be done. Otherwise, if you wait until you fall into death and face a powerful enemy, 90% of the army will be disintegrated or surrendered, and by that time, it will be too late to cry!
Of course, now the Datong General Soldier did not put on the pretense of being directly under a superior, but rather humbly asked for advice, and his recent performance is not bad, so Yang Shanlu patiently explained to him: "The so-called put it. It’s just an example, it’s not applicable to all situations, and it’s just a backhand for preparation, and it may not be used. Of course, if it’s really reached that point, I’m here to make a guarantee that the Xuanjia Army will be. The last one to board!"
"Okay!" Hearing what Yang Shanlu said, all the generals present gave their thumbs up! And after so many days of fighting side by side, I have completely trusted his character! With this sentence, presumably, the generals will be able to let go of the last trace of worry.
After all, it is easy to fight with the wind, but difficult to fight with the wind. When the time comes, Tarzi will attack, and everyone will fight for the way to get on the boat to survive. That will be miserable! But now? With Yang Shanlu's guarantee, there is no need to worry, haha.
However, since there are so many benefits in fighting in Sanduiji, some generals have expressed concern. For example, Zhang Yan, a member of Xuanfu Town, frowned and said, "Ta Zi is not a fool. Now that they find this good place chosen by our military, they are bound to be unwilling. If we are here to fight a decisive battle with our army, but continue to oppress Qingzhou, what should our army do?"
"Don't worry—" Yang Shanlu had already thought about it, and he said very calmly: "The king is a carrot that hangs our army, so that our army can't leave, so I didn't achieve a delusion in Tarzi to destroy me. Before the army, there will be no accidents."
"And we didn’t leave when we got to Sanjiji. In fact, we sent a clear signal to the Qing army. We don’t care about the one in Qingzhou Mansion, so you will fight when you come to fight. If you don’t want to fight, we won’t. Keep going, so after Tanzi understands, in order not to give up the opportunity to fight with our army, he will definitely come!"
"Very good—" Hearing his analysis, all the generals in the camp were relieved. Even the coach Lu Xiangsheng patted his shoulder with joy and said: "Old man Sun praised you as the reincarnation of Qi Shaobao, but now it seems , It's really not wrong at all!"
"Haha!" After listening to the generals in the camp, everyone was excited, thinking about it, it is a great blessing that there is a general in the camp who has both a strong military and a clever mind at such a great enemy...
After this was confirmed, Lu Xiangsheng said vigorously: "In this case, after the whole army has a feast, immediately dispatch troops in the afternoon, and the troops will be dispatched three times!"
"Yes!" All the generals in the camp replied in unison, loud and loud, and this is also very obvious. It turned out that Danzi suddenly used this insidious trick, and felt that the future was unpredictable. The generals were very uneasy, but now Well, that's a turnaround!
And Yang Shanlu was even more joyful when he saw the generals' spirits uplifted... Sure enough, he had to design a retreat first, so that's good...
And for this battle plan, Yang Shanlu still has a back hand that he did not say, that is, the rhythm of this battle, that is, when it begins, is determined by the Qing army, but when it ends, it is up to him. To decide.
However, how to control it cannot be said now, at least it cannot be stated on the surface, otherwise it will be a taboo, so Yang Shanlu just secretly sent a special battalion to prepare for it.
That is to say, if the battle goes well, then this back-hand will not be activated, but if the battle situation is not good, such as excessive casualties, he can immediately end the battle, so that the army can be safely transferred, so that the loss can be reduced to Minimally.
After such preparations are made, the generals of the camp are ready to leave and go back to make preparations for the opening.
But at this moment, the quarters officer in the camp suddenly had an urgent need to see him. When he came in and found that there were so many generals present, he was taken aback for a moment, wondering if he would say it later, but when he thought about it, his eyebrows burned. , And if you want to cover it, you can't cover it, so let's talk about it.
So he just said to Lu Xiangsheng who was looking at him in surprise: "Supervisor, our food is running out, because the governor of Shandong did not deliver the food on time, it is already five days late!"
"What?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned suddenly. He knew the importance of military rations very well... How to fight even if you have nothing to eat! So because of this, before he came to fight in Shandong, he had already written to the governor of Shandong Yan Jizu, so that he must guarantee the supply without delay, and the former governor Yan did nothing but now, what's the matter? What's going on
However, Yang Shanlu sighed in his heart after hearing this. In fact, he could already guess a bit about the reason... It was nothing more than a party fight.
You should know that just the day before yesterday, his father Yang Sichang had already passed a letter to him about the situation in the imperial court, and also reminded him to be careful of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, because this person is Xue Guoguan's best friend, beware of his stumbling! But now, the other party still shot!
Yang Shanlu can only shake his head and sigh. I, Daming, really still have a lot of people who ignore the national interests and only put personal interests first! Can the rations be delayed? Of course, since you have done everything, you will also be responsible for what you have done in the future!
On the contrary, Lu Xiangsheng said immediately after knowing it: "I will write to Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, telling him that he must deliver the rations in time, otherwise it will delay the military aircraft's major events, but he is asking!"
"Yes!" There was a clerical document in the army and started to handle the matter. But even so, Lu Xiangsheng was still not at ease. He still had some understanding of Yan Jizu, and knew that this person was an official loach, so since he dared to do it, he wrote. In the past, it was probably not very useful, and as a frontier army, he couldn't control the place, so what should he do
Including the generals who heard the news, they were all very helpless... This is really a blessing, and misfortune does not come singly! You said that the dog cat is coming to add to the chaos, and now his own people are also coming to add to the chaos!
However, Lu Xiangsheng still had a'solution', and then he looked at Yang Shanlu and said: "Zhen Guo, it seems that you have to test you... You have to leak points out of your pocket."
Okay, Yang Shanlu smiled bitterly when he heard it. There was no way. It’s not good to walk too close to Lu Xiangsheng. At least now he has to find a'loss'... It's like he knows that he has succeeded in farming, so he carries the rations. It’s very full, and now I’ll put my idea on his head.
But Yang Shanlu is not the kind of person who disregards the overall situation, can he die to the death of a friendly army? Moreover, he vigorously farmed the field, and he had to bring it all the way, wasn't it just to prevent this moment? After all, in such a disaster year, relying on the local government to raise food, it is better to take peace of mind.
Therefore, in response to the expectations of the generals, Yang Shanlu said with a sad face: "In this case, I will take out 2,000 shi grains and rice, but I didn't take it out for nothing. I used a sloppy head. Change it for a stone."
"Haha!" All the generals laughed after listening, asking who are you lying to? No matter who lacks military merit, you will not lack Yang Shanlu! After all, just the Zhuozhou victory, the beheading of the rank of 6,000 is already inexhaustible, and is it necessary to beat their first-class ideas
But it is precisely because of this that the confidence of the generals in the camp has increased... You see, on the eve of this kind of war, when the enemy forces are heavy on the border, the generals of the town are still very optimistic, and they can even make a joke. The battlefield veteran, what else can you worry about
So next, Yang Shanlu asked the quartermaster in the camp to go to his Xuanjia army’s camp to take a full 2,000 shi of grain, and evenly distribute it to the three towns of Xuanda (at least half a month, after all, the governor of Shandong If it can be delayed, it should be delivered in half a month), and the camp crowd will immediately advance to Sanduiji after having a meal and a meal!
ps bowed and thanked book friend Qiao Yang 123 for rewarding 888 iron blood coins, haha, many times rewarded, not thankful, can only write a better plot to return. (End of this chapter)
