Xinshun 1730

Chapter 66 Recognition
Shouting for victory is not stealing other people's wives, so there is no need to whisper.

The victorious knight wished to shout out, for fear that the camp would not hear him.

clap la la...

There was a sound of nails, and all the old nobles in the camp tent stood up.The older one even picked out his ears, for fear that he had heard it wrong.

Several veterans looked at each other, and there was a sense of disbelief in each other's eyes.

This is real?

Regardless of the impact of this battle on the battle situation, if this is true...

Siege without guns or armor, and attack more with less, is all in battle.

Killing hundreds, capturing hundreds, and even arresting the adopted son of King Rakshasa, is the highest achievement.

According to the rules of Ce Xun's twelve rounds, the battle of a thousand people is the first round, the battle is three rounds, and the top is three rounds, and beheading, capturing generals, and breaking the city are counted separately.

A little calculation, at least eight Zhuan Xun!
If it's true, wait for Mr. Si Xun to verify that it's correct. In this battle alone, this Liu Shouchang has directly changed from an honorary guard with no military exploits to a captain of Shangqingche who is regarded as the fourth rank?
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old Shangqingche Duwei Bazhuanxun?
The horrified veterans stood up one after another, protecting the emperor's wings, and followed the emperor out of the tent.

Just like the rules of Baojie, the knight of Baojie knelt on one knee, held his head high and held his chest high, instead of holding his head down and holding the book of victory with both hands, he held up the blue flag of Baojie with his left hand, and dragged the book of Jiejie flat on his chest with his right hand.

The eunuch stepped forward and took the victory letter with both hands, the knight put down the blue flag of victory and turned to the military salute to meet the emperor on one knee.

Li Gan didn't read the victory report, he knew that he was on the front line, let alone a small guard, even a real duke wouldn't dare to make a false victory report.

"Where is Liu Shouchang now?"

"Return to Your Majesty. Lord Liu restored the guard city of Muluhan Mountain, and ambushed the Luocha reinforcements upstream. He believed that the upstream castle must be empty, and it was just the time when they rushed down. Lord Liu has led people up along the river, and rushed straight to Kuliping stronghold."

"picture!"

As soon as he reached out his hand, the eunuch immediately brought a map over, and several eunuchs unfolded it.It was a map of the Heilongjiang River Basin that Liu Yu snatched from Beringa.

Kulipingzhai, of course, is not the name on the original Russian map.This is the Heihe of later generations, or Hailanpao.

The victorious knight recalled Liu Yu's instructions, and without waiting for the emperor to ask, he said again: "Master Liu said that Yakutsk is the largest city for the Raksha people in the north. When sending troops to the north, they must come from Yakutsk."

"Kuripingzhai is at the confluence of Heilongjiang and Jingqili River. Jingqili River is the largest tributary on the left bank of Heilongjiang from north to south. If the Luocha people want to go south to support, they must take Jingqili River and go down the river. As long as they capture When the stronghold is flattened suddenly, the reinforcements from Raksha Yakutsk will become deadly reinforcements."

"Secondly, go west from Kulipingzhai, go up along the Fabela River, and cross the [-]-mile broken ridge in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, which is Mulijiwei. In this way, the Raksha people can be separated from the left and right to support, in case the Rakshas abandon one of them. Soldiers stand firm."

"Thirdly, if you get the Pingzhai at a sudden, the Songhua River Navy can go straight to the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River. Taking advantage of the east wind to transport food, grass, and soldiers. Even if winter comes, use the ice river as a road, dogs and deer sleds as livestock, contact tribes, and reward tribute. Well, it can also guarantee logistics."

Following the knight's retelling, Li Gan moved his fingers on the map, and the veterans beside him also nodded.

Mulijiwei, which has not yet been captured, is indeed not far from Kulipingzhai. After [-] miles of Duanling Valley Road, it is a tributary leading to Heilongjiang.

Li Gan saw that the knight's words were clear, although it was just a paraphrase, it was rare to be able to speak so clearly.

Looking away from the picture, Li Gan knew his own advantage.

As an emperor, sometimes he might just casually ask a soldier's name, and it might make people feel grateful and not want to have a death feast.

The extreme inequality under the system has created a very low cost of favor for the superior.

"Get up now. Who are you? Where do you live?"

The knight suddenly turned one knee into two knees, knelt down and kowtowed: "Return to Your Majesty... I am now white, and I am Du Feng, the son of the captain of Handoli Zhechong Mansion, who was forgiven by Your Majesty's kindness. Your Majesty's kindness, I will never forget it." , Only by serving the country faithfully and faithfully can we break His Majesty's kindness."

Li Gan was slightly taken aback, he didn't remember much about such a small person.

But not long after this incident, I suddenly remembered who it was.The wild boy who went to rob the "caravan" was caught by Liu Yu and was about to force his father, a military soldier, to take a gamble.

"Study is close to knowledge, hard work is close to benevolence, and knowing shame is close to courage. In the frontier army, you still know how to study hard, which can be called little knowledge; knowing shame and taking cannons to wash away shame, can be called little courage. The words of serving the country with loyalty, I hope you will do it to know benevolence brave."

"Since you have previously won the cannon, you will be rewarded. One military uniform, one military hat, and one red headband."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Du Feng kowtowed on the ground a few times, his heart filled with joy.

He was originally an official fan, and he was looking forward to leaving this miserable frontier in the future. Now that he has received the imperial gift from His Majesty, he was so happy that he didn't know where to go, and almost passed out.

I recite the emperor's words silently in my heart, and I want to do my best, and I must do my best.

It's just...it's just that Mr. Liu told me to follow that Westerner to learn navigation surveying and mapping, and find another way. Should I learn it or not?Now that His Majesty knows my name and has rewarded me with clothes, do I need to find another way?
He kowtowed while thinking about these things, until the ritual officer signaled that he didn't need to kowtow, then followed the eunuch to receive the reward in a daze.

In the big tent of the camp, Li Gan read Liu Yu's report of victory and the battle process, and asked the eunuch to pass it on to the generals in the camp.

The above is full of pictures and texts, so you can understand it at a glance.

"What do you think, sir?"

Xie Wuji, Marquis of Zichuan, nodded his head and praised: "Benefits lure them, and chaos leads to taking them. If you can show what you can't, if you can't, you can show what you can do. A series of strategies is a coincidence of falsehood and reality. At this young age, Liu Yu has already mastered the three flavors of the art of war." , it's really gratifying. His battle was a coincidence."

"Before, I was worried that Liu Shouchang had never been in battle, and I was afraid that Liu Shouchang would become Ma Youchang. Now, it seems that His Majesty has discerning eyes."

Li Gan also nodded in agreement, looking at the others, Li Jiusi, the Duke of E, said: "I think that although what the Marquis of Zichuan said is true, it is not complete."

"Oh? Talk about it."

Duke E thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that Liu Yu's battles are all skillful, and it seems that he just used tricks to win, but it is not the case."

"The "New Book of Mende" says: If you are two against one, then one technique is good, and the other technique is strange. This is just a rough idea."

"Sun Wuzi said: The situation of war is nothing more than strange righteousness, and the change of strange righteousness cannot overcome poverty; odd and right coexist, like an endless cycle, who can make it poor. Therefore, "Tang Li Wendu" said: My righteousness makes the enemy think Strange, my wonder makes the enemy think it is right, what is called the shape of a person! To make the strange right, to make the right strange, unpredictable, what is called the invisible."

"Winning in ancient times is nothing more than a strange change."

"Liu Yu dug tunnels, dug trenches, and set up empty gun emplacements. This is really strange."

"However, in the eyes of Rakshasa King Yizi, this is an upright soldier."

"Liu Yu claimed that he wanted to 'understand Chinese and Western knowledge, in order to excel', and he was proud that his Western learning was unmatched by anyone in the court. Although this statement is a young man's wild words, it is not all false."

"If he can't make Rakshasa King Yizi afraid by digging tunnels and trenches, then Rakshasa King Yizi is also a person who has gone through the battle. How can he be willing to abandon the city and escape?"

"If you can't win with the right, you can't use the strange. If the "right soldiers" in the eyes of the enemy are not a threat, then how can your own "surprise soldiers" be useful?"

"Those who have a little knowledge of the art of war, think that strangeness is right, and rightness is strange. Changes are unpredictable. This is the so-called invisible man. That's why young men and literati use soldiers. I don’t understand its meaning.”

"The front can't attack and defend, how can we use the strange? Take the simplest defense of the central army and the attack on the two wings as an example. The central army is in the front and the two wings are strange. If the central army can't stick to it and only use the strange soldiers on the two wings, not only will it be invincible, but it will be defeated."

"Another example is Saarhu in the Ming Dynasty. Although many heads advance together, if Liu Ting can hold on for three days without being defeated, then the old slave's defeats will become the center of Yang Gao's flowering, surrounding and annihilating."

"At the end of the day, you can only use surprises if you can use regular soldiers. If you ask the Weisuo army at the end of Ming Dynasty to fight Li Tangxuanjia soldiers and Anxi army, even if there are a lot of tricks and Huaiyin is revived, how can they win?"

"The same is true for Liu Yu's battle. If he had no way to attack the city, how could Rakshasa King Yizi abandon the city and escape? How could he be captured by him on the river? Although his attack method was useless, it can be seen It is effective, so it is surprising that it can pretend to be true."

"Before I saw Liu Yu's drawings of attacking the bastion and the zigzag trench, I thought it was Zhao Kuo's words. But whether the battle formation is effective or not, you have to ask the enemy. The Raksha King Yizi abandoned the city and fled, which is the greatest affirmation of Liu Yu's method of attacking the city."

"The Marquis of Zichuan only saw its ingenuity, but he didn't see the cleverness of his siege methods. This is not a clever battle, but an upright formation."

These words reached Li Gan's heart.

It seems that Liu Yu fought a clever battle, which inevitably makes people think that I can do it, but it is only a victory of wisdom.

But in fact, the key to completing this battle is the trenches dug outside the city.

It was precisely because of these trenches that the mentality of the defenders completely collapsed. After seeing their warships, they immediately had the idea of ​​fleeing.

It wasn't that Li Gan didn't believe in Liu Yu's method at all before, but it was just that there was no way to use it strategically, and he thought it would take a lot of time.But now, Muli Jiwei's siege of the city was not going well, and Liu Yu's digging speed was not very slow. In actual combat, he did scare away King Raksha's son, which proved to be effective.

Does he have the ability to fight a hearty siege battle that frightened Mongolia under the watchful eyes of the leaders of Khalkha Mongolian tribes?

"The words of the Duke of E are in line with my heart. The strategy of the DPRK and China is to attack from the west and defend from the east. I didn't expect that the boy of the Liu family would be brave and diligent on the eastern front. I want to send the Songhua River Navy to Heilongjiang. Lipingzhai, defending against Yakutsk reinforcements; then transfer Liu Yu to the western front, as the vanguard of the siege, what do you think?"
