Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1257 Use
"Why did you come this far, and now the Pinglu City is safe?"

Xiao Ruxun seemed to have anticipated this question of high pragmatism, and he answered calmly but quickly: "Report to Shutai, Pinglu City is still in the hands of our army, and the final commander is to ensure that Pinglu City is not lost. come down."

Hearing that the Pinglu was not lost, Gao Wushi felt a lot more relaxed, but he was still a little strange about Xiao Ruxun's arrival, and asked, "Just now you said you were 'coming to help'? What did you help?"

Xiao Ruxun said hurriedly: "Back to Shutai, this matter is abrupt by the last commander. Originally, the last commander heard that there were only more than [-] people in the Shutai headquarters, and the cavalry of the Boshuo Ketu troops moved from outside the city of Pinglu, as if they were running towards the Shutai. Here comes... Because the Jinnong headquarters is no less than [-], and it is in the territory of the Tuobu, the attitude of all the other departments is not clear, and I will worry that there may be changes on the Shutai side..."

"Oh, that's right." Gao pragmatically smiled: "Your kindness has been accepted by the Headquarters, so let's get up and talk."

Xiao Ruxun quickly thanked him and stood up to the side.

Gao Wushi waved his hand and said, "You have been working hard from afar. You don't have to stand. Sit down and talk. Come and serve Xiao Furong tea."

Xiao Ruxun was flattered, and hurriedly said: "In front of Shutai, where is the seat of the last commander? The last commander is surrounded by rough people, just stand, just stand."

"I told you to sit down. You are not an outsider, so you don't need to be polite." Gao pragmatically insisted.

"It's not an outsider." Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to be ignorant of lifting, so she carefully sat on half of her buttocks, her back was straight, maybe it was more difficult than standing.

Gao Wushi was satisfied with his attitude and said with a smile: "What is the situation in Pinglu City? After you come, is Pinglu City in danger?"

Xiao Ruxun immediately said: "Pinglu City is currently being attacked by the traitor Tu Wenxiu. This person's behavior is quite strange. He has always been besieging the city, and there are very few strong attacks. After the previous large-scale attack on Pinglu City, the current situation is quite strange. It was relatively quiet for a while. As for the last commander, although he took away more than [-] people, the city of Pinglu is not large, and the remaining troops are still enough to defend the city. The last commander believes that there will be no losses for at least a month."

Gao Wushi didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while and asked, "Tu Wenxiu didn't launch a storm during this time?"

"Yes." Xiao Ruxun answered with certainty.

Gao pragmatically asked with interest: "What do you think about this?"

Xiao Ruxun said: "The last general thought that Tu Wenxiu might have suffered some losses last time, and now he doesn't want to waste too many troops, so he changed the strong attack to long-term sleepiness, intending to wait for the flat captives to collapse due to lack of food."

"Is Pinglu short of food?" Gao pragmatically asked.

"There is no shortage for the time being." Xiao Ruxun said: "According to the calculations of the last general, as long as Pinglu City saves some food, it can last for at least half a year. If things go wrong and the large households in the city are mobilized, it will be two or three more. It should be possible for a month.”

Gao Wushi asked again, "Do you think Tu Wenxiu knows nothing about these situations?"

"Uh..." Xiao Ruxun hesitated for a moment, then frowned, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be ignorant."

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "You are still sober, and you don't underestimate others. Pinglu is an important place in Ningxia, the gateway to the north, and how much reserves Pinglu City has, it is impossible for the chaos in Ningxia to know everything. Thanks to this former general of Ningxia Fubiao, they should know enough about Pinglu City, so they must know that Pinglu City has enough food for more than half a year."

Xiao Ruxun moved in his heart and asked tentatively, "What does Shutai mean?"

Gao pragmatically did not answer, but instead asked: "Since Tu Wenxiu knows that the food in Pinglu City is enough for more than half a year, why did you choose to surround and not fight? Have you ever thought about it?"

Xiao Ruxun actually mentioned a sentence just now. Seeing Gao pragmatically ask again, he had to repeat it, saying, "I probably don't want to damage the strength of the troops."

"Then what?" Gao pragmatically asked, "Have you thought a little more deeply, such as...why doesn't he want to reduce his strength?"

Xiao Ruxun was a little surprised by these words. Of course, the generals don't want to lose their strength. Otherwise, wouldn't they show that they are incompetent?

Gao Wushi seemed to have seen through his thoughts, shook his head slightly, and pointed: "Tu Wenxiu has two hearts on the worship."

Xiao Ruxun's eyes widened: "How could that be?" Then he found that he was a little suspicious of Shutai's meaning, and quickly remedied: "Ah, the last will say that this Tu Wenxiu was born in the family, why did he suddenly do this? idea?"

Gao pragmatically said lightly: "Shi Siming is also An Lushan's direct descendant. How loyal do you think he is to An Lushan?"

Xiao Ruxun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted a little, thinking and said: "Shutai means that Tu Wenxiu is not very optimistic about the rebels, so he has the meaning of self-respect? But since he instigated the rebellion , why are you not optimistic?"

Gao pragmatically smiled disdainfully and said, "They thought the imperial court was spending too much this year, and faced with the chaos in the northwest, they would most likely choose to appease them, but unexpectedly, the imperial court didn't even talk about it, and dispatched a large army to quell the rebellion. Tu Wenxiu prides himself on being a rare wise general under his command, and in the face of this situation, he naturally has to consider the way back."

Xiao Ruxun thought about it for a while, still a little puzzled, and asked: "Since we have to consider the way back, shouldn't it be better to take down Pinglu earlier? Without Pinglu City in hand, his way back is not secure."

"No." Gao pragmatically shook his head and said, "Even if he wins Pinglu City, it can only be regarded as a shelter that can be moved in and out of, but the surrounding products of Pinglu City are not abundant and cannot be self-sufficient. He couldn't do it at all, so it didn't make much difference whether he won or not.

If Qibai can block the thunderbolt of our army, then Tu Wenxiu will have to take down the Pinglu, because although the Pinglu is not rich, it still has some output. There is no better place; and if Dengbai can't stop the attack, it will make no difference whether Pinglu City is in the hands of Tu Wenxiu, because if he wants to take down the Pinglu, he will inevitably lose his strength, but when it is time to worship Since he lost Ningxia, Tu Wenxiu had no choice but to flee or surrender. Wasn't the loss of his previous force more than worth the loss? "

This time Xiao Ruxun really understood: as long as Ningxia is lost in the bai, then no matter whether he surrenders or flees, the troops in his hands are his capital, and of course this capital cannot be lost in the undecided overall situation. Before.On the contrary, if Zabai really can hold it, then he can take down the Pinglu and become his rebel general in peace and stability.

Really good calculation.

Xiao Ruxun smiled and complimented: "Shutai really has a discerning eye, and Tu Wenxiu's thoughts can't really be hidden from Shutai."

Gao Wushi was almost immune to compliments. Hearing the words, he said nothing, and asked directly, "Since Tu Wenxiu's mind has been understood, what do you think our army should do at this time?"

Xiao Ruxun immediately said: "These important matters have their own decision by the pivotal platform, how dare the last commander dare to talk too much out of his own strength?"

Gao Wushi shook his head in his heart, and secretly said: This is the problem of Daming, even if the generals understand the situation in front of them, they will not even dare to say a word in front of the head coach of Wenchen.

But he always wanted to cultivate the independent thinking ability of generals, especially young generals like Xiao Ruxun, so he waved his hand and said, "I will make the decision myself, now I just understand your opinion, you don't need to worry too much, just say it. Listen."

Xiao Ruxun carefully observed Gao Wuji's face, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he had to treat him as Gao Wuji and inspected him. How does Taiwan plan to pacify the chaos in Ningxia?"

Gao pragmatically asked indifferently, "How do you say it?"

Xiao Ruxun bowed his hands and said: "Shutai, please forgive me for taking the risk. If Shutai intends to imitate Tang Ding Anshi's pacification, then Shutai only needs to take Ningxia directly. If Ningxia is recaptured, the rest will naturally change their flags and raise their hands to surrender or If you flee in the north, then the Northwest Rebellion will be most of the finale."

Gao Wushi was noncommittal and asked, "What else?"

Xiao Ruxun replied: "If Shutai insists on eliminating evil, then it is best to go north and then south. First block the opening of Pinglucheng, destroy Tu Wenxiu's troops, or force them back to Ningxia, and then clear Ningxia one by one. There are more than forty fortresses around, and in the end, I will break through Ningxia in one fell swoop, and I will do my best."

Gao Wushi nodded and chuckled, and praised: "Xiao Furong is not fortunate to be able to be alone and safe like a rock under the situation that the entire town of Ningxia is lost."

Xiao Ruxun was like drinking a bowl of honey in one gulp, her heart was overjoyed, but she said in a hurry: "The Shutai has passed the award, and the last general is only a royal kindness, so I don't dare to slack off. A little effort is nothing to worry about."

Gao Wushi waved his hand and smiled, indicating that he didn't have to be too modest, and then asked Xiao Ruxun something shocking: "But what if I want to take Ningxia directly, but also want to get rid of evil and do everything?"

"Ah, this..." Xiao Ruxun was a little dumbfounded, thinking how could this be possible?If you fight Ningxia, Tu Wenxiu will definitely pay attention to it at any time, and may run away at any time; if you fight Tu Wenxiu, you have to clear more than forty forts around Ningxia, so Ningxia will not be able to talk about "direct acquisition".These two obviously can only choose one of the two, how can they come together?Don't you have 10,000+ or ​​even two 10,000+ troops, can you attack in an all-round way?
Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Does Xiao Furong think that this can't be done with the current strength? I don't even understand why this department thinks this way?"

Xiao Ruxun hurriedly said: "The last general is stupid, please also ask Shutai to show me."

Gao Wushi sighed and said, "First of all, you must know that the Northwest Rebellion happened suddenly and at an untimely time. The imperial court needs me to settle it with the fastest speed and the least loss, and it cannot be delayed for a long time."

Xiao Ruxun said: "Yes, the last will save it, but the last will not know how to do it."

Gao pragmatically said again: "Tang Ping'an history's turmoil is inexhaustible to eradicate evil, leaving behind a century-old legacy in Hebei. The so-called overturning of the past and the lesson of the future, how can the headquarters follow the example? Therefore, eradicating evil is an inevitable choice. This time the chaos in Ningxia. , the headquarter will be wiped out in one go, not a single one will be left!"

Although Gao Wushi was a civilian, his military exploits in recent years were almost unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.The words that came out of his mouth were really murderous, and even a general like Xiao Ruxun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, as if he felt the blade on his side, so that he didn't dare to interrupt, but subconsciously lowered his head even more some.

Gao Wushi continued: "The reason why you are worried that you can't take Ningxia directly while blocking the retreat of the rebels is simply because our army has limited forces. Ningxia's 山bai may rely on the advantages of his cavalry to mobilize reinforcements everywhere, and even because our troops are scattered, he may even be defeated by him individually.

In this way, it is not only difficult for me to clear the periphery of Ningxia and block the retreat of the rebels, but also I cannot quickly restore Ningxia and pacify the chaos. Instead, it gives the other party a chance to breathe, and even allows the other party to build up the confidence to fight against the imperial army, which will be even more difficult in the future. Cope, eh? "

Xiao Ruxun felt that these words were a bit difficult to answer, and after a turn of mind, she said to her heart: "Shutai has a good plan, it seems that he has a plan, and the future will really admire it."

Gao Wushi heard it funny and thought to himself: This guy is really smart. He didn't dare to say that he was really worried about such a situation, so as not to be suspected of underestimating me, he simply skipped this one and complimented me directly, saying that I I've already made up my mind... Hey, it really deserves to be a family of military commanders from Han people, but they can talk more than Ma Gui.

However, Gao Pragmatist also knows that officials who have been able to never slip and beat horses are rare throughout the ages, especially the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, whose status is extremely low. Political suicide, so Gao pragmatic does not blame Xiao Ruxun for this, after all, the starting point of others is just self-protection.

Even Qi Jiguang had to be an official like this, let alone Xiao Ruxun?

Gao pragmatically said, "It's impossible to talk about magic, but this matter is not as difficult as you think." He paused and said, "You should have spoken to Motobudo and Boshuo just now. Did you know anything about the first battle of Ketu?"

Xiao Ruxun has a lot of Mongolians in his own army, and of course he can speak Mongolian. He has indeed learned the general situation of today's battle from the cavalry sent by Chataiji, and nodded after hearing the words: "Yes, the last general. I have heard a little."

Gao Wushi nodded, stretched out his hand towards Chataiji, and introduced, "The one in front of you is the first Mongolian warrior, Tuotchataiji, who made a great contribution in today's battle."

In fact, Xiao Ruxun doesn't necessarily have much respect for Chataiji, but he can clearly see a high and pragmatic attitude, so he quickly surrendered to Chataiji: "It turns out that it is General Tuotuo, who has been famous for a long time, like thunder."

Chataiji said with a smile: "I'm afraid it may not be a big name, and the notoriety is probably true."

To say that this Mongolian speaks too bluntly, even a man like Xiao Ruxun can't keep up with his words, he forced a smile and said: "Old things, why do you need to mention them..."

Gao Wushi knew that Chataiji was not malicious, but he didn't want Xiao Ruxun to be too embarrassed, so he interrupted: "General Tuotuo will not return north to Tumet for the time being, and the [-] Tumet cavalry under his command will be with him. The [-] cavalry of the Quejin army led by Ilduqi, and some cavalry of the headquarters of Boshuoktujinong, fought for my Ming Dynasty."

These words were not only completely unexpected by Xiao Ruxun, but even Chataiji was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly said: "Shutai, Ile and I are both fine, but Boshuoktu's Jinong headquarters is not. Do you want to hand it over to Taigale Jungenhatun?"

Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "Boshuoketu made such a big mistake, doesn't Taigale Jungenhatun think he should make it up for him?"

Chataiji suddenly froze in his heart and secretly said: No wonder the Khan specifically explained that he should not play tricks with Gao Shutai before I came. This person can really count every bit. This time we Tumut and Erdos not only want to help him fight, but also You have to be honored...
