Yang Sichang was very happy, but he didn't expect to have such a surprise when he came this time.
And after he read the letter carefully, he was even more happy, all twirling his beard and smiling: "Haha, Xue Guoguan, this old thing, has been suppressing his father recently! I am afraid that he will steal his first assistant for the father. Throne! But now..."
Yang Sichang solemnly collected this secret letter. As a master of court struggle, this secret letter is too important! This is a *, he will find the best opportunity to explode this secret letter... so as to completely defeat Xue Guoguan!
And Yang Shanlu was very happy when he saw his father's excitement, because his father was a big umbrella that shielded him from wind and rain, and he couldn't fall down! Secondly, his perception of Xue Guoguan is also very bad!
This was a very poor one among the several chief assistants in the Chongzhen dynasty. He did not have the ability to govern the country, but he was very good at accepting bribes and corrupting the law, even to the point where he was hungry. (In the original history, Xue Guoguan accepted it. Wu Changshi, an official of the Pedestrian Department, did not do anything for him for bribes, and was finally defeated by Wu Changshi)
Therefore, when he knocked down this kind of person, Yang Shanlu was in favor of raising his hands. He even wanted to suggest whether his father could be the first assistant and go further, but now, it feels like this is all right. … It’s better to have someone else do it when the first assistant of the dynasty is... The moon will be full, and the water will overflow.
In this way, the father and son talked neatly for nearly an hour, and exchanged in-depth views on various important events, which ended successfully.
On the second day, Yang Sichang, the newly-appointed supervising army, officially took office (Lu Xiangsheng is still in bed, mainly to recuperate).
And because he had an in-depth exchange of opinions with Yang Shanlu yesterday, so after today’s opening, when discussing the next military operations with the three generals, it was very methodical, and also focused on clarifying... that It is to rush to join the Guan Ning Army as soon as possible, and then seize that great opportunity!
In addition, Yang Sichang also conducted a specific analysis of the next military operations. In fact, objectively speaking, the current Guanning Army is at a disadvantage. The current North Road Army of Tarzi is divided into two groups, each with two groups of troops. 20,000 people (one of them was personally led by the great general of Yang Wu, Yue Tuo), and 20,000 people opposed the 20,000 people of the Guan Ning Army. The Guan Ning Army was at an absolute disadvantage!
So what the camp has to do now is to rush to rendezvous with the Guan Ning army as soon as possible, and then use the superior force to fight against the Qing army that Yue Tuo personally led! And take advantage of this great opportunity to win with one blow! Even ended this entry battle in one fell swoop! Reinvigorate the country's prestige as a winner!
Among them, one thing needs to be considered... that is, a question raised by the veteran Yang Guozhu, that is, how to prevent the South Road Qing army, that is, the Dorgon Ministry from telling Yue Tuo! If the Yuetuo Department learns the news, and the Second Route Army merges (becomes 40,000), the enemy will be strong and the enemy will be weak, and the fighter will be lost... At least it will form the war of attrition that our army is least willing to see!
At this point, Yang Shanlu said on the spot that he would send out all the remaining 200 special battalions in his hand. Even he suggested that all nights in the army should not be collected. All of them would be sent out through the crowded tactics. , To block the traffic of several official roads! Make Yue Tuo deaf and blind!
As for this suggestion, other generals also readily adopted it... After all, the mysterious special battalion has been fighting so far, and these generals have a considerable degree of insight, so of course there is no objection.
After the final resolution was formed, Yang Sichang sent someone to inform Lu Xiangsheng that Lu Xiangsheng’s current physical condition is not suitable for political affairs... After all, it is mentally troublesome, but such an approach in itself represents an attitude, which makes Lu Xiangsheng feel very emotional. comfortable.
And in this way, when everything is ready on the camp, the wheels of war will start again! The key remaining is how to deal with Dorgon's side? Of course, the premise is that Dorgon can wake up as soon as possible...
Qing army camp, Dorgon Ministry.
Dorgon finally woke up after being in a coma for seven days. I have to say that the body of this barbaric outside the customs is really powerful, and he has been overwhelmed in this way!
After Dorgon was a little awake, even if he still couldn't get out of bed and had to rest, he immediately found another giant in the army, Rao Yu Belle Abate, and asked him about his final fighting situation.
And when Dorgon learned that the Ming army still crossed the river safely and failed to wipe out all in one fell swoop, Dorgon remained silent for a long time... He has realized that one of the best opportunities to destroy the Xuanjia Army has been lost. Now, the eagle is out of trouble! He couldn't even imagine how harm this would cause to the Qing Dynasty Congress in the future!
You should know that Yang Shanlu is just a small guerrilla general. It is already so difficult to deal with. After that, he will continue to be added to the ranks, promoted to deputy generals and so on. The strength of his men will be even stronger. At that time...
Seeing Dorgon frowning, Rao Yu Beile Abate said: "Master, should you send someone to inform General Yangwu, and simply let him send troops to smash the lair of this general of the Ming country!"
"Hey, although it will have some effects, it can't solve the problem fundamentally!" Dorgon shook his head and sighed. Of course he knew that Yang Shanlu's three guards on the east road provided him with the source in this war. Continuous support, but even so, what can it be? You must know that it is not the Donglu Sanwei who made Yangshanlu, but Yangshanlu who made the Donglu Sanwei!
So even if you send troops to destroy all the three guards on the East Road, it still won't help! As long as Yang Shanlu is there, he can conjure one hundred, one thousand Donglu Sanwei! So the key is to eliminate Yang Shanlu! Eliminate this culprit!
So after a long silence, Dorgon continued to ask: "Rao Yu Belle, what is the current trend of the Ming army after getting out of trouble?"
"Returning to the general, according to the reports of the Erlangs, after crossing the Qingshui River, the Ming army camped twenty miles away from the shore and continued to confront our army." Abate said hastily.
"Really?" Dorgon frowned when he heard it. According to other information he learned, it didn't look like the style of the Xuanjia Army...
You must know that he has learned from Abate’s introduction that during the time he was in a coma, everything went wrong! The grain sent by the governor of Shandong secretly was robbed by the Xuan Jia army, including the more than 1,000 warriors sent, but none of them returned!
So the actual situation of the army is that there is already a serious shortage of food! Therefore, Abate has already risked the division of troops and sent a few thousand teams to attack the county seat!
Of course, this was also strongly blocked by the Ming army, all kinds of assassinations and ambushes, anyway, all kinds of insidious tricks are endless! But finally the Warriors were tenacious and completed some tasks so that they would not run out of food.
And another important situation is... The morale of the army has been greatly reduced! Not to mention that the most determined warriors in the army have been shaken by this must-win entry battle, and even the flag owners of the Mongolian Eight Banners have semi-publicly expressed pessimistic remarks... The only correct way is to return to the customs immediately!
Because according to them, this entry is no longer to grab money, food, and women, but to give the Ming army his head! Come to think about it, there are still 16,000 left after 50,000 fights (the 50,000 is the strength of the South Road army when it enters the Pass). Is there anything worse than this? And if this continues, the entire army is likely to be annihilated!
Even if in the past, there were still some hardliners who were able to clamor, that Jurchen was dissatisfied with such heroic remarks that they were invincible, but now, in the face of such iron-clad facts, who would dare to continue to deceive themselves? Is self-deception interesting? So in this way, only pessimism and depression are left, spreading throughout the army...
A group of short-sighted guys! After listening, Dorgon cursed secretly in his heart, but compared with that, he was more concerned about the reaction of the Ming army! According to Abate's statement, the morale of the army is now low, the army is inadequate, and the fact that the army is repeatedly divided to grab grain has caused the already small number of troops to appear weaker, but with such a good opportunity, will the Ming army be indifferent
So after a while, Dorgon meditated for a while and asked Abate, "Rao Yubeile, how many people do you think will be left in the Ming army after this war?"
"Well, there are probably about 10,000 people." Abate estimated that way, in fact his estimate is quite accurate.
"That's right—" Dorgon waved his hand vigorously: "You see there are still 10,000 people in the Ming army, and during the period when I was in a coma, our army continued to divide up troops to grab food, so the power was dispersed. They would still hold back their hands? So Rao Yu Belle, I suggest you send a man and horse across the river to have a look... I guess the Ming army’s camp is already empty!"
"Ah!" Abate was taken aback. To say that Abate was also heartbroken during this period... Dorgon was unconscious. He had to worry about military affairs, maintain morale, and deal with the continuous surprise attacks of the Ming army. , I was very busy, but now, after being reminded by Dorgon, I suddenly felt that it was very possible!
"General, what should we do? Does our army have to respond?" Abate asked nervously immediately.
No way, in these days of fighting with the Ming Army (mainly caused by the Xuanjia Army, as well as various unexpected tactics by Yang Shanlu), he has been beaten and scared! It has even been cast into a psychological shadow! So now that the Ming army is using it again, he has subconsciously felt uneasy!
"Hey—" Dorgon sighed: "I guess their goal this time is not our army, but they are ready to attack General Yangwu! It's just a pity that our army can't do anything about it. Can't help much."
And this is also very obvious. He has been in a coma for too long this time, coupled with the lack of rations and other reasons, so even if the whole army wants to rush to help the battle, it is impossible to do it, and the only thing he can do now is to try his best. Dispatch an elite sentry to inform the general Yangwu Yuetuo (the leader of the North Road Army) at an expedited speed of six hundred miles, so that he will be more vigilant and not repeat their mistakes.
Although Dorgon also knew that as cunning as Yang Shanlu, it was impossible for him to have no response to this, but now, he can only do his best and obey his fate.
Thinking of the possible tragic fate of the army on the North Road, and even the tragic fate of the entire Qing Dynasty, Dorgon couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood...
"Ah General, you must take care of your health! Don't think about national affairs anymore!" Abatai was shocked when he saw this. You must know that the remaining Qing army now has most of the hope in the general. If this is true If something happens to him...
"Hey, no-" Dorgon waved his hand and said, "Now I am in danger, so even if I die, I can't stand by!"
After speaking, Dorgon wiped the blood from his mouth, and then immediately found a pen and paper by the bed, and he began to scribble quickly.
After he finished writing, he was sure that he was correct. He just stamped his prince's big seal, and then said to Abate: "Rao Yubeile, you immediately send someone out. Be sure to hand this letter to the emperor! "
"Ah, what are you doing?" Abate asked inexplicably.
"I want to transfer troops!" Dorgon said firmly. (End of this chapter)
