Chapter 381: Murder Sacrifice Flag(2/2)
The old eunuch Liu Fulai has not appeared outside for a long time, and his body is getting worse day by day. However, in this emergency, he still appeared in front of everyone, and he could not see any confusion at all, and he was full of energy and his voice was extremely firm.
After the old eunuch said that, Zhou Yang, who was blushing and wanted to argue for a few words, also calmed down. He calmed down again. He heard Yan Ruoran in the screen speak indifferently:
"My husband's foundation is here, and we cannot leave it lightly. You all don't need to worry about my sisters. Be righteous first. Which one is more important. I can still tell you clearly."
Yan Ruoran's words set the tone. Even Zhou Yang, who was embarrassed, was also stern. Zhao Neng stood up at this time and said in a muffled voice:
"In one place in Jinan Prefecture, more than 5,000 troops can gather in two days. With the headquarters of the Dengzhou Army, it is more than enough to defend half of this Jinan Prefecture."
Zhao Neng made a promise to everyone present. Although everyone knew it was a scene, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sun Chuanting, who had always been silent, spoke at this time.
In this occasion, Sun Chuanting knew that he was still an outsider. He was not suitable for him to interrupt when he was a dispute over his position and route, but now he was in his range. The sound under the iron mask was very dull, but everyone in the lobby listened attentively. Everyone knew how much the Grand Marshal relied on Mr. Gongsun.
"The place where Jinan Prefecture and Beizhili intersect are low hills and flat slopes. It is suitable for the operation of the Tartar Land Horse Team. The infantry of our Jiaozhou Camp is limited. The opponent is alone and can go around. By robbing and supplying, it is extremely difficult for our Jiaozhou Camp to set up a battlefield."
The room became quieter and everyone was listening carefully.
"I have talked to the foreigner Oman, saying that it was in most of the terrain of Jinan Prefecture. The cemetery formation in the Jiaozhou camp could not be calm. Without formation, we could not fight, and we fought in the Jinan Prefecture area. Jiaozhou camp was at a disadvantage first. Moreover, with the cemetery of our infantry formation, we must be slower than the horse team. The Tartars could even ignore my Shandong soldiers and go around to the empty land without soldiers. This is another trouble!"
Zhao Neng nodded repeatedly. At present, he only has less than two thousand horse teams under his command. His mobility is really different from that of the Tartars. If the Tartars were circling around regardless of the care, he really had no possibility of catching up.
"And according to the news reported from the Northern Zhili, the Tatars were heading south along the canal. This time, they should have gone to Dezhou to Linqing, and Jinan City avoided it. But if the Tatars army broke through Linqing along the canal and entered Yanzhou, the thousands of soldiers in Yanzhou Prefecture would be in a tight position. Dongchang and Yanzhou Prefecture are the rich and consciences of Shandong. If the Tatars were allowed to plunder and destroy it, they would probably hurt our Shandong's vitality."
Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui both took out paper and pen to record it. In the partition of the screen, I don’t know if it was Gu Hengbo or Liu Rushi, but they were also recording it.
"At this time, it is very likely that when the Tartars' large teams went to Yanzhou Prefecture, the general's troops had just rushed back from Nanzhili, and Zhangjiang's Yanzhou army and Guide Prefecture were rushing back from the border of Henan and Lu. Not to mention that there were more than 100,000 troops fighting to the death in their hearts. Moreover, the Yanzhou Prefecture is the junction of the four provinces, and it was unstable around. Yanzhou Prefecture also had the King of Lu and Confucius Prefecture, and the army was fighting. I am afraid that our Shandong troops might not have taken advantage of the battle between our own territory. Maybe we would have to mobilize our whole body in the front and it would be out of control."
After hearing what Sun Chuanting said was so dangerous, Zhao Neng could no longer sit still, stood up and asked in a solemn voice:
"Mr. Gongsun means that our army should not defend Jinan, but should take the initiative to fight?"
"General Zhao is right. Our army should not only not defend Jinan, but should take the initiative to attack. The canal from Tongzhou all the way south, enter Shandong in Dezhou and then south along the western line, pass Dongchang Prefecture and enter Yanzhou Prefecture. This Dezhou is a pass. Jinan Prefecture is mostly hilly slopes, and Dezhou is flat to the north. Although it is a horse-riding horse suitable for the Tartars, it is also suitable for the infantry formation of our Jiaozhou camp. The Tartars advance along the river, and we also defend along the river. If the Tartars want to move along the river without worries, they must fight with the troops led by General Zhao. At that time, as long as they can get time and wait for the general and subsequent reinforcements to rush back, everything will be fine."
Sun Chuanting talked freely and made a long speech. After saying this, the room was silent, thinking about what he said. The army was moving forward, and even the Qing army with many horses needed to rely on water routes. Even if it was a frozen water route, it was not necessary to mention the storage of the Caoyuan River. The water source needed by tens of thousands of people was a big problem and had to rely on the river route.
By the same token, as long as the army in Jiaozhou camp is also on the edge of the canal, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to continue to move south, it would have to fight, because the canal was not only the way it came from, but also the way it was back. If the obstacles that were crossed above were not eliminated, the morale of the army would have a great impact even if it did not go to war.
Even though the Tartars did not walk along the canal, they still attacked Jinan. There was only one Dezhou passage to Jinan Prefecture on land, and Dezhou was also on the edge of the canal.
This shows that Sun Chuanting's choice is wise. As long as he is holding on to the Dezhou point, no matter whether the Qing army wants to continue to move south or attack Jinan, he must pass the Dezhou level. Although there are many Tartar horses and the power is far better than that of the Jiaozhou camp, as long as it is the card owner point, he has to fight.
Unless the Tartars wanted to go to Henan or travel around Northern Zhili, Henan was in chaos, and Northern Zhili had been washed many times. As long as the Tatar army maintained normal judgment and intelligence, they could only come to Shandong. Moreover, Shandong Jinan Prefecture had been washed away once by Dorgon, and its vitality was severely damaged and its value was very low. The Tartars would definitely continue to go south, and this most valuable place in Shandong was the richest Yanzhou Prefecture, and Nanzhili behind Yanzhou Prefecture.
Although the world is big, it seems that there is nowhere to go. How can you accurately judge the action by the heart? In fact, there are traces to follow. Even the birds flying between the sky and the earth are free and free. They still need a habitat, and the action is even more so. The transportation of baggage, food and grass supply, and the purpose of the action can be inferred.
Sun Chuanting led the Shaanxi border troops and Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng to fight against each other, leading the army of refugees, leading the army to fight, setting up an ambush and choosing a battlefield, and the arrangements were quite exquisite.
This kind of judgment of the military situation, the army predicted that the generals of the Jiaozhou camp were indeed lacking. The battles around Shandong were almost all the encounters after the battlefield were determined. Even if the battlefield was not clear in advance, they would preset them through various means to seize advantageous terrain, and then use their strictly trained arrays and superior weapons to fight.
But Sun Chuanting, a general of the general who belonged to this era, was completely qualified to be a general of the general in this era. Judging from the mobilization of the large army in the general environment and the enemy in this environment, even Li Meng, the generals of Jiaozhou Camp were somewhat lacking in this regard. Not to mention Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui, a scholar like this.
After all, the old eunuch Liu Fulai was an eunuch in Nanjing. He was knowledgeable. When he heard Sun Chuanting say this, he naturally understood the importance of these words. He called a maid and helped him up. He walked behind the screen. He discussed in a low voice. He turned around and said loudly:
"Mr. Gongsun's analysis of this matter was so precise that the general was in the southern province at this time. According to the instructions before leaving, please ask Mr. Gongsun to come out with a charter!"
The old eunuch is equivalent to Li Meng's family. The female family in the inner house is not suitable for making a move. He is the one who makes the decision now. This is really heart-warming. However, before he said that he went behind the screen, he was of course asking Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao to make an idea. After all, the relationship between these female family members and Li Meng is closer, so the knowledge of these mistresses is to be said differently.
"As my uncle said, please ask Mr. Gongsun to bring out the rules!"
Yan Ruoran's clear voice sounded behind the screen, which was considered as a deputy signing for Liu Fulai's words. When he stood up, Zhao Neng heard the sound and hurriedly bowed to Sun Chuanting as a bow.
Although this etiquette is very simple, it is a sign that Sun Chuanting can issue an order at this time. Sun Chuanting was not excited behind the iron mask, but he was a little moved that Li Meng's arrangement was really tight when he left, and there would be no opportunity to usurp power, nor would there be any situation where commands would lose efficiency and delay.
Since it has been confirmed, Sun Chuanting has not delayed anything pretentiously, and he couldn't help but feel pretentious or hesitate. He smiled at the surroundings and said:
"Since that's the case, I have surpassed it. Madam, how many armed salt and village guard teams can be used by Jinan Prefecture?"
Soon, someone answered behind the screen:
"Jinan Prefecture is mostly relatives of the children and relatives of the Jiaozhou camp army, not much elsewhere, but the armed Yanding and the village guard team are both inside and outside Jinan City. There are about 7,000 people who can gather here within two days."
This voice was from Mu Yunyao. Sun Chuanting nodded, pondered for a moment, turned around and said to Zhao Neng:
"Although these seven thousand people are a little small, it is enough to defend Jinan. General Zhao, you have 15,000 troops and 2,000 experimental camps, and 2,000 old camps left behind in Jinan City, with a total of more than 19,000 troops. One day, set off to the north of Dezhou, east of Jingzhou, and set up camps by the canal to guard them. Please ask General Zhao to prepare. This trip will take three days to go east of Jingzhou. It will take five days for the Tatar army to arrive there. It will take three days to count in three days. It will be a great achievement for seven days to defend!!"
