Chapter 802 The Plan Can't Keep Up With Changes

When Zhang Shun led the rebel army to occupy Tongxu, he immediately dispatched scouts to inquire about the movements of nearby officers and soldiers.

In just over half a day, spies rushed to report: "His Royal Highness Shun, after our investigation, Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transport and governor of Fengyang, led more than ten thousand people to leave Chenliu and Weishi one day ago, and went straight to Weichuan. !"

"This... this old thief is really running like the wind!" Zhang Shun couldn't help complaining when he heard the words.

The officers and soldiers were always slow to move. Although Zhang Shun led the crowd to detour this time, he thought he would be able to lead the way, and set up an ambush before Zhu Dadian, but in the end, Zhu Dadian went first.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the officers and soldiers take the lead.Now that the rebel army has infiltrated behind the officers and soldiers' line of defense, there are some means to deal with the officers and soldiers.

When Niu Jinxing heard the words, he remonstrated: "Since Zhu Dadian has left with all the people and the Kaifeng mansion is empty, it is time to implement the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao!"

The so-called "strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao" is actually to encircle and rescue Zhao.This was one of the plans discussed by the rebel army before they set off.

Due to the political importance of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, whenever the rebel army encountered difficulties, it was the best choice to mobilize the imperial court's army to attack the vassal king's fief first.

Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that attacking Zhou Fan is the best choice."

"The Zhou Fan of the Ming Dynasty is implicitly the head of all the feudal clans in the world, not only rich in the world, but also seventy-two county kings under the prince."

"Even the well-known Fu Fan and Tang Fan are insignificant compared with them. Once Kaifeng is opened, the world will be terrified!"

"There are only three problems that need to be resolved. First, can we win the battle? Since Zhou Fan is so important, how can Henan Governor Fu Zonglong be unprepared if we have to defeat the Fan King in succession?"

"Second, can we hold it down? Since our army occupied Luoyang, we have recruited troops and bought horses, and our strength has greatly increased. Roughly, there are [-] to [-] horses. If we deploy defenses everywhere and defend the city everywhere, how can we get it?"

"Third, even though Kaifeng has fallen, we have held on to it. The east of Songshan Mountain is a plain, and there is no danger to defend. The east can threaten Shandong and the south and north Zhili, and the north can look at Shanxi. In this way, there are swallows in several places. Once the foundation is lost, the Ming court will definitely fall apart."

"At that time, the imperial court will definitely use its best troops to compete with me. If the officers and soldiers win, we will lose our troops and lose our generals, and we will have to retreat to the land of Heluo. If our army wins, we will sweep across Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi and other places."

"When the capital collapses and Jin enters the customs, will we have soldiers and horses to fight again?"

"The centipede is dead but not stiff, let alone the imperial court for more than two hundred years?"

"In my opinion, it's better to keep Zhou Fan for the time being, and stabilize the airs for Chongzhen's children, in case of Mongolia and Houjin."

"As soon as the situation of our army has been determined, it will be appropriate to send troops to the Northern Expedition to defeat the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty in one go!"

"This..." Niu Jinxing received too much information at once, and couldn't react suddenly.

After pondering for a while, Niu Jinxing couldn't help but said with emotion: "The ancients said: the one who has the world in his heart is the king of the world. I didn't understand what it meant at first, but now I know it!"

"I have calculated thousands of times, but I have underestimated the Liaodong Jurchen and the Tartars outside the Great Wall. If it is as my lord said, that generation also has the heart to look down on the world, and it will almost lead to a catastrophe!"

Hehe, the defeat of Li Zicheng in the previous life was the result of your lack of thoughtfulness, right?

Zhang Shunmi glanced at Niu Jinxing, and couldn't help laughing: "The way to use troops is not to rely on them not coming, but to rely on me to treat them; there is no relying on them not to attack, and relying on what I have to not attack."

This passage by Zhang Shun comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War Nine Changes". Niu Jinxing claims to be familiar with Sun Wu's Art of War, and now he can understand it as soon as he hears it.

He didn't want to bow down and said: "My lord's use of troops is a gift from heaven, and it is beyond human power!"

Is this your excuse for being ignorant?Zhang Shun wanted to teach him a few more words.

However, he thought about it later, and now is the time to employ people, so he must not dampen his enthusiasm, so he gave up.

Immediately, Zhang Shun suggested: "Since it is inconvenient to attack Kaifeng, why not lead the people to attack Weishi and Zhuxian towns to cut off their way back."

"Then, attack from both sides, forgive me that Fu Zonglong and Zhu Dadian can't escape my palm!"

"This... is a good plan, but the volunteer army is not enough, it is too risky!" Niu Jinxing is also a person who knows soldiers, and he immediately understands the pros and cons of it.

"In the past Qin Wu'an Lord Baiqi besieged Zhao's [-] troops in Changping, and was defeated in the first battle, and Zhao's vitality was greatly injured." Zhang Shunwen replied sonorously.

"For this purpose, the King of Qin will only use men over fifteen years old in Hanoi. Although I don't have the ability of Lord Wu'an, but with the courage of King Qin, if I really encircle Fu Zonglong, Zhu Dadian and the like, and use all the men in Luohe, I will still be able to do it!"

Niu Jinxing was shocked three times a day, and was so shocked by Zhang Shun's arrogance that he couldn't speak for a while.

He didn't know how long he had been here before he said: "My lord has such great ambitions, Ju Ming dares not follow suit to death!"

Immediately, Niu Jinxing ordered: "Mobilize [-]% of the scouts and send them to Wei's. I want to get all the news tonight!"

Zhang Shun nodded and smiled when he heard the words, Niu Jinxing finally got the hang of it.

He smiled and said: "Since you are a military adviser, you need to make a complete plan for me. When the time comes, follow my orders and launch an attack!"

While Niu Jinxing was preparing for military operations in Tongxu, Changge County ushered in a new round of fighting.

Mou Wenshou, the deputy commander of Zhu Dadian, governor of Water Transport and governor of Fengyang, was in his forties and was also a veteran general.

Unlike most generals who were born in frontier areas, he was born in Shizhouwei, which is later in Enshi County, Hubei.

In addition to the Weisuo, Nashizhou Wei ruled a bunch of chieftains such as Sanmao, Zhennan, Dawang, Shinan, etc., and the famous Shizhu chieftain who produced white-armed soldiers was next door.

These chieftains surrendered and rebelled from time to time, and the court was quite a headache.In order to deter these chieftains, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, Ming Dynasty successively set up many guards and thousands of households here to prevent the local chieftains from rebelling.

It was against this background that Namu Wenshou grew up. He successively recovered Chongqing, defended Guizhou, and participated in the suppression of the Denglai Rebellion.

Later, he was appointed as the deputy general of Jiangbei. Together with the general Yang Yupan, he regained Fengyang, which was occupied by the rebels, and defeated Zhang Yichuan, the "sweeping king" and Zhang Xianzhong, the "eight kings" who were entrenched in the Yinghuo area.

When he received the order from Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, he led his soldiers to Changge City without saying a word.

The "Crossing General" Li Zicheng and the "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and Zhang Shun were nearby. In addition, the rebel army fled again and again, the troops were exhausted, and they urgently needed to rest, so the two also relaxed their military discipline.

Many soldiers went to the people's homes to have fun, so how could they have the leisure to defend the city?

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai never expected the officers and soldiers to arrive so quickly, and were caught off guard by Mou Wenshou.

After a day of fierce fighting, the two had to abandon the city and flee westward all the way.
