Ming Zuo

Chapter 333 Plan ahead

"The leaders of the Thirty-six Roads, Chuang Wang, the Eight Great Kings, Deng Dengzi, Fuzhuanzi, Lao Huihui, and Cao Cao are all powerful.

What Xu Yaqing was most dissatisfied with Liang Yue was that he was with the wrong person.

Liang Yue snorted: "What do you know about being a woman? Crushing generals is someone who can make things happen. The other leaders... die sooner or later."

In fact, Xu Yaqing has always looked down on Liang Yue, feeling that he is a bum with little knowledge.If he hadn't helped him, he would have died in this troubled world.

"Yo, you really think you are a general. Who can do it, you can see it?"

Liang Yue's face was cold, and he said stubbornly: "The generals are benevolent and righteous, and Qiu never commits crimes wherever he goes, and the common people think of his goodness in their hearts. Others, burning, killing, looting, doing all kinds of evil and unpopular, don't want to sit in this world."

Xu Yaqing was very disdainful.

"Damn people! Was my father unpopular back then? What's the use? In this world, you have to be ruthless. If you kill others, you will naturally obey you."

Liang became more and more disgusted.

"It's such a miserable life for the common people, the dog emperor and the dog officials are a disaster, as are you mice who pretend to be ghosts."

Xu Yaqing didn't care about his cursing at all, and asked with a smile, "Then the good news about the rat here, do you want it?"

Liang Yue couldn't help but be cautious.

"What good news?"

Xu Yaqing sneered, touched his face with her fingers, and said quietly: "You are such a bastard, you are also like a fake Taoist, and you are not much better than us mice. If it is not useful to see you, the old lady will cramp you. No peeling."

Liang Yue grinned, smiling like a tiger trying to choose someone to devour.

"Sauce girls, the same is true for you. One day, men will never be soft-hearted."

Xu Yaqing suddenly became serious and said, "With so many people hiding in the mountains, it won't take long for them to run out of food and forage. At that time, the leaders of the various roads will either join forces or go their separate ways. But no matter what, whoever has food and grass will be the leader. Are you also trapped by food and grass?"

Liang Yue finally changed his face and was quite anxious.

"Can you get food and grass?"

Since Hong Chengchou succeeded the governor of the three sides and the Ming court's strategy was changed to suppression, the rebel army has felt the pressure.More and more rebels came to Shanxi after escaping the Yellow River, and it was not far from the arrival of Hong Chengchou.

All the leaders understood that they had to prepare enough food and grass before Hong Chengchou crossed the river.

Only in this way can we recruit troops, increase our strength, and resist the army.

Xu Yaqing pursed her lips and chuckled, and Zhizhu was holding her.

"The old lady is alone and can't change the food and grass. But, as long as the city is broken, the food and grass are not readily available."

Liang Yue thought he was teasing himself and was furious.

"I didn't, but I came to entertain me. Is the city so easy to break through?"

Xu Yaqing turned around, lay on his shoulders, and blew into his ears.

"There is a city here, but it is very easy to break through. I just don't know, does your family have such courage?"

Liang Yue went straight to the point.

"where?"

Xu Yaqing did not delay.

"Xizhou."

Although Liang Yue disdained the actions of the White Lotus Sect, he also knew that these people had great powers, so he hurriedly asked, "What kind of connections do you have?"

Xu Yaqing said proudly: "My late father had an apprentice who was swindling and cheating in Xizhou, and he knew that Yang Wei trusted the state. The guard Gao Yi was stupid and incompetent, greedy for life and fear of death. As long as the rebels attacked the city, they will definitely be able to break the city."

Liang Yue has followed the rebels to Shanxi these days, and he has already memorized the terrain of Western Jin in his heart.

"To fight Xizhou, you must fight Daning first. To fight Daning, you must fight Puxian. I'm afraid that the official army will get news and reinforcements will come. If the city fails, it will be defeated."

Xu Yaqing actually calculated everything.

"Pu County is sturdy and difficult to conquer. But you can use Pu County to attract officials, then attack Daning, attack Xizhou, and if you have an internal response, you will be able to succeed."

Liang Yue pondered and calculated the possibility of success.

He was not worried about Xu Yaqing cheating.

On the matter of dealing with the imperial court, their positions are the same.

The White Lotus Sect still needs the rebel army to deal with the imperial court when its vitality is severely damaged.

To lay down a state city is of course a huge temptation for the rebels who are now trapped in the mountains.

This risk...

Worth the risk.

"I'll go to the Major General."

Watching Liang Yue far away, Xu Yaqing's eyes were dark and unclear.The self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth can only be left to himself.

..........................................

"At present, most of the fighting in the northwest is concentrated in Shanxi. It is no surprise that Hong Chengchou will cross the river within two months. In the direction of Liaodong, the staff estimates that Huang Taiji will definitely launch an attack on Dalinghe City in two months at the latest."

At the military meeting, Liu Yiyuan made a situational judgment on behalf of the staff.

"Huangtai Jixiong is a rough idea, shouldn't it take so long to react?"

Zuo Rong did not agree with the judgment of the staff.

Jinzhou is on the front line of the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and Houjin. If there is a little trouble here, it will be sent to Huang Taiji at the fastest speed.

No matter how he thought about it, he wouldn't send troops until two months later.

Several other generals agreed with Zuo Rong's view and believed that there was a problem with the judgment of the staff.

"Everyone, it is precisely because Huang Taijixiong has a rough idea, so he will start the army two months later."

Zuo Yong, the adjutant, stood up and supported Liu Yiyuan.

After all, this judgment is the collective result of their staff, and to doubt Liu Yiyuan is to doubt all of them.

Group discussion, controversy is a good thing.

Zuo Menggeng was happy to see such a scene, and came forward and asked for everyone: "Tell me your reasons."

Zuo Yongzhizhu was in his hand and asked, "Everyone, how long does it take to build a city?"

Everyone knew that he was asking about Dalinghe City, so they were not picky.

"How can it be more than March."

The only purpose of Dalinghe City is military, the scale of the city is limited, and only need to consider defense, so about three months is enough.

And that's what everyone doesn't understand.

The construction of Dalinghe City started in May, and it was almost finished by July.

At this time, Huang Taiji sent troops, and the Ming army who built the city was already in danger. Wouldn't it make the battle more difficult?
Zuo Yong's eyes were bright, and he liked this kind of behavior of analyzing the enemy.

"Huang Taiji will only send troops in July, and he really takes everything into account. By then, the construction of Dalinghe City will take more than two months, and the completion is just around the corner. For the imperial court, so many civil engineering materials have been put into it, so many troops and The people who are trapped in the city can't give up halfway, right? For this reason, they can only fight hard."

Liu Yiyuan helped him and said: "When it comes to Dalinghe City in July, the court will only need the last hammer. Once you give up, all the material costs invested in the early stage will be wasted. If you don't give up, you will have to send troops to rescue. ."

Zuo Menggeng's face could not contain the smile at all, and he fully recognized the ability of the staff.

"Huang Taiji didn't plan to attack Dalinghe City by force at all. His purpose should be to besiege the city and fight for aid. No matter how strong Dalinghe City is, it is no more than an isolated city. Sooner or later, the food and grass in it will be exhausted. The Ming army either surrendered or starved to death."

Although Houjin had heavy artillery at this time, it was impossible to break through the Dalinghe City built to military standards without paying a heavy price.

Therefore, it is impossible to siege a city. How can there be a better field to deal with the Ming army?

Through his own changes, Hou Jin had a clear understanding of the field capabilities of the Ming army.

When the battlefield was closer to Houjin's hometown, it was almost impossible for the Ming army to win Houjin's field battle.

To put it bluntly, Huang Taiji wanted to use Dalinghe City to complete another weakening of Daming, and it was the most direct military weakening.

Once the battle of Dalinghe is won, Jinzhou's defensive role will be completely lost.

The entire Western Liaoning Corridor is under the front of Houjin's soldiers, and without Ningri, the situation in Liaodong will be irreversible.

It is said that Jinzhou is the key of the Liaoning Corridor, but the defensive effect of this key is actually far better inside the customs than outside the customs.

Because the terrain is getting tighter and tighter from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, it is better to defend.

During the Liaoshen campaign, Siye only blocked Tashan, and KMT's Dongjin Group was completely blinded and could not advance an inch.

But facing the direction of Liaodong from Jinzhou, it is wide open.Large areas around Jinzhou, such as the Dalinghe City area, can allow the army to pass through.

Therefore, Jinzhou without Dalinghe City cannot play a defensive role.

On the surface, Huang Taiji attacked the Daling River to demolish this strong city, but in fact, Huang Taiji considered the establishment of the entire situation in Liaodong.

Thinking about this, Zuo Menggeng couldn't help but admire this opponent.

"The situation in the world is turbulent, and we can't turn a blind eye. Whether it's the war in Shanxi or the situation in Liaodong, it's a good opportunity for us. Next, everyone must be vigilant. Don't wait for the pie to fall from the sky, We can't take it."

Zuo Menggeng waited for a long time, and finally got the chance he dreamed of.

The next thing to do is to plan ahead and receive the fruit.
