please make me king

Chapter 309

Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, once said to Tang Taizong Li Shimin in "Tang Li Questions and Answers": "The art of war is thousands of sentences, but it is only for people and not for others."Zhang Shun, a great man in his previous life, also emphasized that "you fight yours, and I fight mine", all emphasizing the issue of the initiative in war.

Although Ming generals Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu and others did not have deep military theories, their years of military career also made them vaguely aware of this "initiative" issue.

However, they have nothing to do, this is a conspiracy.Military activities are always subject to the influence of political factors. Huaiqing Mansion, Weihui Mansion and Zhangde Mansion are all under their jurisdiction. If Zhang Shun really allowed Zhang Shun to break through the city and capture and kill the clan prince, no matter how much credit they have made There is no way to save their lives.Therefore, no matter whether Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu can do it or not, they have to bite the bullet and send troops to fight.

Fortunately, Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Ma Fengyi and others were all soldiers under their command, that is, field corps in the sense of later generations.As a guest army, they marched all the way here carrying weapons, armor, tents and other supplies, and they were already used to this kind of action.

Therefore, their military preparations were relatively simple. After recruiting their own troops, they set off together and headed south.

When the officers and soldiers were about to set off, Zhang Shun led his troops and all the rebels had arrived in Hui County.At this time, Zhang Shun was not in a hurry to occupy the county seat of Hui County. Instead, he first explored the surrounding terrain in order to choose the battlefield for the decisive battle with the officers and soldiers and the place to camp.

After some investigation, Zhang Shuncai suddenly discovered that although Hui County and Lingchuan in Shanxi were separated by the Taihang Mountains, they were connected by a white Xing.

Then Zhang Shun's original plan to let "Crafting General" Huang Laier be stationed at Tianjing Pass to block Cao Wenzhao's plan had an omission.

But now that the army is here, they must not change their plans easily before the battle.Zhang Shun had no choice but to choose generals and prepare to block this hole.It's just that the selection of the general made it difficult for Zhang Shun.

As a matter of defense, the cavalry generals are excluded first.Zhang Shun only had Jiang He, Li Jiyu, Zhang Sanbai and Wei Congyi under his command.As a result, Wei Congyi harassed the capital, and there has been no news so far; Li Jiyu was sent by Zhang Shun to guard the more important Zhiguanxing;

Now the infantry general in my hands is only Zhang Sanbai, but if I send Zhang Sanbai out again, and I don't have any infantry under my command, I am afraid that his rebel army will go their own way and will not be restrained by me.

If other people were sent to guard the Baixing, Zhang Shun was afraid that they would be careless and careless, and they might even be unable to resist and retreat on their own, selling all his troops here.

Zhang Shunsi thought about it, but he had no choice but to call Li Xin over, and said to him: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, but I didn't think carefully. Unexpectedly, there is Baixing connecting with Shanxi. I am worried that Cao Wenzhao and other officers and soldiers will wait for the opportunity. Lingchuan is attacking our army, and I order you to lead more than a thousand troops to garrison at the narrowest Mengmen pass in Baixing."

"The two mountains in this pass are towering, and the width is only six feet. The local people call it "No Yahuo". There is a trend that one man is in charge and ten thousand men are not open."

"Among the generals, I know that you are the most powerful and decisive, so I have given you such an important task. I wonder if you can take on this task?"

Although Li Xin also acted as some of Zhang Shun's staff from time to time, more often he was in charge of Zhang Shun's personal guards.

Zhang Shun saw that he had a lot of knowledge in the past and had a good command of the army, but now he had to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he was promoted to a general among the dwarfs for a while.

As for the question of the balance of the generals under his command, let's talk about winning the officers and soldiers such as Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu first.If the soldiers are defeated and die, everything will be over.

Li Xin had long envied his cousin Chen Changzhu to lead the army in battle, now that Zhang Shun valued him, he immediately responded happily: "King Shun, don't worry, people are in prison, and people are dead in prison!"

Zhang Shun's face pulled when he heard the words, and he reprimanded: "The way of using soldiers is to preserve yourself and destroy the enemy. How can you throw your life lightly?"

"If you can keep it for ten days, tell me you can keep it for ten days, and I will follow the ten-day plan; if you can keep it for five days, tell me you can keep it for five days, and I will follow the five-day plan. You must not swell your face If you are fat, once the checkpoint is lost and our army is unprepared, everything will be over!"

Because Li Xin was promoted by Zhang Shun as an aide, he was often exposed to battle reports, and he was quite used to casualties.As a result, after Zhang Shun's reprimand, he realized that he would have to pay a lot of lives for a little carelessness.

Only at this time did he solemnly say: "My lord's words are very true. I believe it is frivolous. I lead the army for the first time. I don't know how long I can hold. After I arrive in Baixing, I will definitely inspect the terrain and set up camps at dangerous places to prevent Cao Wenzhao from going south." .”

"In addition, I will send scouts to patrol Lingchuan County to discover Cao Wenzhao's movements early so that the lord can prepare early. If I really lose, I will send envoys as soon as possible to inform the lord so that the lord can make plans early !"

Zhang Shun nodded after hearing the words and said: "It's very good. It's the first time to use troops. Only by considering everything carefully can we be invincible."

So, by the way, Zhang gave Li Xin [-] troops and [-] of his own personal guards as elites to help him control the Baixing Mengmen Pass.

With Li Xin going like this, Zhang Shun's army can't be idle either.Before the officers and soldiers arrived, Zhang Shun personally inspected the terrain and chose a place to set up camp. At the same time, he ordered the rebels to set up positions against the mountains and rivers, and prepared to fight with the officers and soldiers here.

Wu'an, Lin County and other places were not very far from Hui County. On the third day Zhang Shun was stationed in Hui County, he discovered that the scouts of the officers and soldiers had faintly appeared near the rebel camp.

Knowing the importance of intelligence, Zhang Shun quickly ordered the "Zuo Jin Wang" to send cavalry to drive them away. At the same time, he also began to send Liu Cheng to act as a scout, and went [-] miles forward to detect the movements of the officers and soldiers.

By noon that day, officers and soldiers scouts and spies began to increase gradually, and some officers and soldiers scouts and spies even began to fight with the rebel patrol cavalry on a small scale.At night, Zhang Shun lost [-] or [-] cavalry. Of course, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were not too happy. According to the reports of the soldiers, the scouts and scouts also lost about [-] or [-] cavalry.

In the evening, Liu Chengcai sent someone to report that the main force of officers and soldiers had arrived at the junction of Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion, but it was too late to hurry.

The officers and soldiers had already set up camp on the spot with strict defense. The rebel cavalry approached many times, but they were all driven away by the officers and soldiers patrolling the cavalry.

Zhang Shun listened to Liu Cheng's envoy's report, and instantly had the urge to attack officers and soldiers at night.However, Zhang Shun immediately dismissed this idea. After all, the officers and soldiers on the other side are also veterans, how could they not have expected the possibility of the rebel army robbing the camp?
