Chapter 489

After a meal, the generals in the tent stopped, and no one spoke again. For a moment, the scene was a little awkward and strange.

These people are still too young. Although there is no lack of battlefield experience, their life experience is far from enough. Compared with the generals who founded the country and fought the world in previous dynasties, I'm afraid the youngest is in his twenties when he started his career. He has been fighting for a few years or more. By the time of the war to unify the world, he is basically about thirty or forty years old.

Although they were proud of their achievements, Qin Huan's team was cleaned up in middle age. Because Qin Huan started as a young soldier, and there were no decent heroes to compete with him in the late Ming Dynasty, he started, developed, competed for hegemony and finally unified the world in just a few years.

If Lao Zhu, Lao Niu, Cao Cao and other figures know this behind the scenes, they must be alive.

"Mr. Lu, I just heard what you said. Do you have any different views on the next tactics of our army?"

The red warbler glanced at the people under the hall and turned to Lu Xiangsheng, who had recovered his peace again.

"Yes, although dorgun has only 30000 cavalry and 50000 infantry, Huang Taiji is ready to invade the South with all his strength. At this time, the reinforcements must have gone south.

If you want to encircle dorgun to the north of Xuzhou, you are likely to be encircled by Huang Taiji's reinforcements to the south of Yanzhou and the north of Xuzhou. Moreover, you only have more than 10000 cavalry and are still on the south bank. Finally, you will eliminate the 50000 infantry at most. It is very difficult to eliminate dorgun cavalry at the cost of passivity, In exchange for 50000 infantry with low combat effectiveness, the gain is not worth the loss! "

Lu Xiangsheng tried to slow down his tone.

He doesn't care about the life and death of these people, but he can't help but care about the fate of hundreds of millions of Han people and the inheritance of China.

The Qin army won. After all, the world is still Han people. Qin Huan is cruel and good to ordinary Han people. But if Huang Taiji wins, the consequences will be unimaginable. The disaster of Mengyuan in those years will only last three or four hundred years.

According to his understanding for a while, the second regiment is probably the only Han Army that can resist the tartar cavalry in the field, and it is also the only one that can prevent the tartar cavalry from crossing the Yellow River to unify the world.

But it was such an army related to the inheritance and fate of the whole Han people, but it was in the hands of a group of hairy boys, and the commander was a female. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng hated Qin Huan very much at this time.

In his opinion, Qin Huan should send an experienced, mature and steady general to command the army even if he didn't fight in person. At worst, he should also send a military division. Li Yan and Niu Jinxing can do it!

Lu Xiangsheng, who had been under house arrest, still didn't know that Qin Huan had already issued an imperial edict for personal expedition. He was on his way to Xuzhou. He thought Qin Huan was nostalgic for the prosperous world in the south of the Yangtze River. He didn't want to go to battle in person and hid in the palace every day.

It's no wonder Lu Xiangsheng has this idea. There are too many such things in history. Countless emperors and heroes are ambitious and dare to fight and fight in the early stage, but once they are honored as a treasure or enter the south of the Yangtze River, they will cherish their lives and enjoy it.

"As Mr. Lu said, how should our army march next?"

The red warbler didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng thought so much. She nodded noncommittally, then asked, but she smiled in her heart. She knew that this guy was not far from obedience.

This is indeed the case. Even if Lu Xiangsheng had more resistance in his heart, in order to prevent the Han people from finally falling into the hands of other nationalities, he had to play a guest role in the military division, got up and hugged his fist: "red general, the advantage of tartar cavalry is that they are fast and their whereabouts are uncertain. If our army takes the initiative to attack and divide, it is easy to be broken one by one by the other. If we cooperate, it will be slow and passively beaten, Once in depth, there is a danger that the grain road will be cut off. Although the army has plenty of food and grass, it is ultimately at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Lu suggested that your army should choose a favorable terrain on the North Bank of the Yellow River, wait for work with ease, and defend instead of attack. As long as your army's more than 300000 people and horses lie across the North Bank of the Yellow River, even if the main force of Tartars goes south, they would never dare to cross the Yellow River easily. At that time, Tartars sent a small team to cross the river to wash disturbance, and the main force must attack your army first, In this way, their riding and shooting advantages will disappear, and your army is backed by the Yellow River. Food, grass, materials, weapons and energy sources are constantly supplied. When the Tartars can't attack for a long time, food and grass are exhausted and their spirit has been lost, it is just around the corner to launch a counter attack and recover the lost land! "

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't stop the car as soon as he spoke. After that, he looked at the red warbler nervously. He was afraid that he couldn't listen to his own opinions and insisted on marching.

Who would have thought that the red warbler stood up and said with a smile, "ha ha, heroes think alike! Mr. Lu really deserves to be a master of the art of war. Where do you think our army should camp? "

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned. He didn't expect the red warbler to adopt his own suggestion so simply. He was overjoyed and hurried to say, "thirty miles north of Chenqiao town is very suitable for the army. The terrain here is high, not afraid of flooding, and there is no lack of water source. It's not far from the Yellow River."

Kaifeng is the territory of Daming Prefecture after crossing the Yellow River. Lu Xiangsheng has been a prefecture magistrate of Daming Prefecture. He is familiar with this area and can no longer be familiar with it.

"Well, it's really appropriate here. In that case, my imperial concubine ordered the army tomorrow to turn east and target the north of Chenqiao town. Each will go back and prepare immediately."

"Yes!"

The generals held fists together. Although they were eager and belligerent, they were not stupid. According to Lu Xiangsheng, the odds of victory were indeed greater and safer, so no one stood up against it.

Seeing that the red warbler did not hesitate, Lu Xiangsheng adopted his suggestions and issued a military order. However, he frowned slightly. He felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he tried to ask, "general red, don't you need to ask for instructions about such a big thing?"

"Don't be so troublesome. Your majesty has a will. After crossing the Yellow River, everything is up to my imperial concubine."

The red warbler waved her hand, and the corners of her mouth could not help but tilt up and smiled.

Lu Xiangsheng was also an old fox. Seeing her, he immediately woke up. He didn't understand that he had been cheated.

I'm afraid Qin Huan had already instructed them to garrison troops on the North Bank of the Yellow River and replace them with attack. He even said the location of garrison troops, north of Chenqiao town.

At the thought of this, an old face turned red. He thought that he had been in officialdom for decades and had experienced countless wars. Today, he was calculated by a fledgling girl. He didn't know that he was really angry and ashamed. Finally, he had to hum coldly and leave.

"Hehe, Lu Junshi, go slowly."

The red warbler couldn't help laughing.

Lu Xiangsheng's guess was right. Although there was only a simple sentence in the Oracle, the army crossed north.

But in private, Qin Huan communicated the strategic direction to Hong Ying through the intelligence department, that is, after the army crossed the river, garrison troops to the north of CHENQiao Town, defend in place and never take the initiative to fight.

After all, this kind of strategic matter must be the highest military secret. It is inevitable that it will not be disclosed in the Oracle, so the fewer people know, the better.

Although the Tartars will soon see this strategic intention, the later they see it, the more favorable they will be.

Otherwise, the red warbler would not leave all the cavalry on the south bank.

The reason why he didn't say it at the beginning was to test the generals, which was also explained by Qin Huan.

Who would have thought that Lu Xiangsheng's response was so fierce and so angry? The red Ying asked. Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng didn't resist. He was not only like pouring beans in a bamboo tube, but also roughly the same as Qin Huan's strategy.

The next day, the army set up camp and pulled out the stronghold, heading for Chenqiao town in the Northeast in an orderly manner.

Chenqiao town is also very famous. Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, made a yellow robe here. Chen Qiao mutinied, conspired to usurp the throne, seized the rivers and mountains of the Later Zhou Dynasty and established the great song dynasty.

When Qin Huan went north to fight Tartars, he also crossed the river near CHENQiao Town, so he was also familiar with the terrain in that area.

Dorgun was really nervous when he learned that the red lady came eastward with her army, but he still didn't plan to return to Shandong. Instead, he planned to let the infantry defend the cities, the cavalry contain the sneak attack, drag the Qin army here, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and cut off the other party's retreat to the south.

After Huang Taiji received the news that the Second Corps crossed the Yellow River in the north, he was immediately overjoyed. He immediately asked Haug to lead 100000 cavalry to the South first. He also vowed to March South three days later.

This time, Huang Taiji not only gathered 100000 Mongolian cavalry, but also 250000 infantry, and the elite of the Eight Banners poured out.

From 14-year-old teenagers to 40 year-old veterans, all of them were called up to fight. They made up seven or eight, and even made up 100000 horses.

Ten thousand of them stayed in Shanxi, ten thousand in the capital, ten thousand in the northeast, and then all the sixty-eight thousand flag cavalry went south, excluding the ten thousand who went south first.

The 250000 infantry, except a few Korean soldiers, were all surrendered Han soldiers, led by five Han generals, including Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi.

It has to be said that Huang Taiji has played the way of balance to the extreme.

Wu Sangui's 20000 men and horses are all cavalry, not an infantry. Geng Jingzhong's 50000 men and horses are all firearm soldiers, equipped with red cannon and fire gun, but there is no infantry and cavalry. The 50000 men and horses commanded by the other four people also have no cavalry and firearm.

This led to six people. Even if one person had two minds, he did not dare to rebel, because the arms were too single. Under the deliberate instigation of Huang Taiji, the six people seemed to be the same fire and water, like enemies. They could not pee in a pot, and it was impossible to cooperate with the rebellion together.

Compared with history, Dourgen's stupidity made Han generals bigger and almost uncontrollable. Huang Taiji is undoubtedly much better.
