Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1877
"But if Gao Ge always wants to leave by the waterway, who can stop him?" When Quan Li said this, Liu Chenglong was stunned.

why?Because Liu Chenglong didn't even think about the fact that he was famous for being invincible in high-level practical combat, and he might escape in battle!
Oh, is this funk or not?Liu Chenglong's heart turned like an electric shock, and he thought to himself: From the perspective of others, if the war develops to the point where the enemy in front of him is too powerful, and his own side is not enough to fight at present, then of course avoiding and not fighting can not be regarded as running away, but a performance of judging the situation.

But... what if such a thing happened to Mr. Gao Ge?Liu Chenglong frowned, thinking about it, he still felt that doing so would damage his reputation of being invincible.It is said that senior officials of Shangguo, especially civil servants, value reputation more than life. How could Mr. Gao Ge be so "judging the situation"?

Liu Chenglong told Quan Li about this doubt, and Quan Li couldn't help being dumb, but quickly said: "Sun Tzu said: A soldier is like water, and the shape of water is to avoid heights and go down; the shape of soldiers is to avoid reality and strike." False. Water controls the flow because of the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy. Therefore, soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. Those who can win because of the enemy's changes are called gods.

I look at the current situation of the battle in the south, and the situation of the main force of the Japanese pirates going south is worrying.There are chasing soldiers (Li Rumei) in the north, barriers (Liu Ting) in the west, and the sea in the east, but Pusan ​​in the south seems to be the gate of life.

But where did this near-death situation come about?Naturally, Gao Ge's old tricks became powerful, and he forced the Japanese pirates into such a situation.That is to say, it is Gao Ge who wants to drive all the Japanese pirates into Busan!

However, the Japanese pirates are not only cruel, but also cunning, Youxi put all his eggs in one basket.Faced with this situation, if the main force of the Japanese pirates going south had not completely lost their fighting spirit, they would not be willing to retreat to Busan to submit, because withdrawing to Busan meant that the Ming army would be able to blockade this place simultaneously by water and land. To be a turtle in an urn is really hard to fly. "

Hearing this, Liu Chenglong had to admit that Quan Li's analysis was very reasonable, but he didn't know what judgment he had to make next, so he immediately asked: "Brother Yanshen's words are very true, so what then?"

"I just said that unless the Japanese pirates are ready to surrender or are trapped to death in Busan City, they can only think of ways to put all their eggs in one basket."

Quan Li stroked his beard and said: "The so-called desperate battle does not mean that they will launch a decisive battle easily. This desperate battle is actually very particular. Of course, there is no need to talk about it right now. I will just say the conclusion: the Japanese pirates at this time must use With the greatest determination, concentrate the strongest strength, and deal the most fatal blow to the Chaonan Ming army."

Liu Chenglong took a deep breath, his eyes were erratic, and he said in a deep voice: "The most fatal blow... Li Zongrong's troops are all elite cavalry, not to mention that the Japanese pirates are hard to win, even Li Zongrong can choose not to fight , Leading the Japanese pirates around, and the Japanese pirates have nothing to do with him, so the Japanese pirates should not choose him;

For decades, Liu Zongrong's troops have been known as the elite of the Southern Army of Heavenly Soldiers, and they are invincible in fighting the Japanese, suppressing the barbarians, conquering Burma, and suppressing the spread. Although North Korea's troops are relatively insufficient, he is now deployed to the west of the Nakdong River and waits for a rabbit.

In this way, if the Japanese pirates take the initiative to cross the river to fight, I am afraid that they will be attacked by Liu Zongrong halfway across the river. I don't know who the so-called fatal blow is for, so the Japanese pirates should not choose him;

In this way, the biggest weakness of the Ming army in the entire south facing chessboard is precisely in the old headquarters of Gaoge!He may only have some chieftain soldiers and a small number of servants at hand, so it is no problem to take command in Sacheon, but if he faces a large-scale invasion by Japanese pirates, he may be difficult to resist...

However, if the Japanese pirates really want to do this, then it is really desperate!Not to mention that once Liu Zongrong's troops learned about it, they would definitely fight to the death to save it, even Li Zongrong's side must be like this-he is full of cavalry, as long as he spares no effort in horsepower, it is still possible to reach the battlefield quickly.

In this way, wouldn't the pirates still be besieged?And if this is the case, the place where they were besieged was not Busan, which had been meticulously built for several years, but a mere small city of Sacheon.Brother Yanshen, you said that if they can't successfully capture Mr. Gao Ge as a bargaining chip to turn defeat into victory, wouldn't it be suicide to do so? "

Quan Li nodded and said: "I think so too, but the Japanese pirates' ideas are always strange. For example, before the war, who would have dared to infer that the Japanese pirates really wanted to go to war with Daming, and even wanted to annex Daming? In this comparison, they dare to put all their eggs in one basket in Sacheon. It's nothing.

And more importantly, I always feel that the Japanese pirates' desperate idea may not be able to hide from Mr. Gao Ge. The current serial situation... may be the design of Mr. Gao Ge. "

Liu Chenglong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by brother Yanshen's words?"

"Didn't I just say that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, 'the one who can win because of the enemy's changes is called a god'. I also spent a lot of time studying Gao Ge's previous battles and found that he has a great ability , That is to always anticipate the opponent's thoughts, and then set traps in advance for the opponent to exploit.

Or, the opponent may not have such foresight, so Mr. Gao Ge will use various methods to force the opponent into a certain situation, and then "remind" the opponent in various ways, and finally lead the opponent by the nose, so that the opponent can still only Fall into the trap. "

Liu Chenglong was obviously a little skeptical, and asked: "If this is the case, then it is really a 'God', but is Mr. Gao Ge really so... miraculous?"

"And if Brother Jian doesn't believe it, then we can go back and deduce it." Quan Li said: "First of all, I would like to ask Brother Gao Ge, why didn't he go to Pyongyang this time? The boost in morale, coupled with the reinforcements he brought, isn't it enough to push forward, take back Hanyang by force and continue to attack south?"

Liu Chenglong nodded and said: "There should be no doubt about this, and once Mr. Gao Ge personally leads the troops from Pyongyang to the south, then the Pingwa fleet can block the Han River and bombard the Hanyang city defense. I have calculated this specially and found that the Ming army fleet The No. [-] cannon can even enter Gyeongbokgung Palace from above the Han River."

Liu Chenglong's words are neither right nor wrong. First of all, almost all the warships equipped with the No. [-] cannon in the Pingwa fleet are Jinghua's own warships, and the number is relatively limited. The matter of entering the Han River depends on the hydrological conditions;

Secondly, Gyeongbokgung Palace is the legal palace (that is, the main palace of the monarch) of the Joseon Dynasty. It is better not to bombard Gyeongbokgung Palace if it is not necessary;

Again, although the No. [-] giant cannon can indeed hit Gyeongbokgung Palace in terms of range, its accuracy at that distance is extremely poor. Where it can really hit depends on God's mood.To put it simply, if you really do this, it is nothing more than an act of intimidation, and its practical significance is close to zero.

However, Quan Li may not be aware of these, or even if he knows, he is not interested in explaining, because his focus is not here.Instead, Quan Li followed Liu Chenglong's words and said: "That's it. Since Mr. Gao Ge was able to fight back against the Japanese pirates steadily and steadily all the way out of Pyongyang, why did he choose to land in the south and open up another battlefield?"

Of course Liu Chenglong had some guesses, but he didn't want to reveal it easily, so he remained silent.

Quan Li didn't insist on him answering, so he continued: "In my humble opinion, Mr. Gao Ge may have several intentions for this move, but the most important point is to mobilize the main force of the Japanese pirates Hanyang."

"Mobilize them..." Liu Chenglong pondered: "Is it to prevent Hanyang from being destroyed? Or, is it to prevent the Ming army from storming Hanyang and causing too much loss of troops?"

"There should be both of these points, but I'm afraid it's still not the most important." Quan Li said in a deep voice: "What he wants is to mobilize the Hanyang Japanese army itself—because normally, once the Japanese invaders invade the southern occupied area, There is also a group of elite soldiers waiting in the south, and the Ming army on the north line sent a large group of elite cavalry to follow, so the safest way for the main force of the Japanese pirates should go to Busan, stick to this bridgehead, and wait for the support of the Japanese mainland."

"Then you said..." Liu Chenglong frowned and prepared to ask a question.

"Don't worry, see brother, let me explain carefully." Quan Li waved his hand and interrupted: "This idea is not difficult to guess, there are also people who know soldiers among the pirates, and they must be able to see the key point. So he With the all-or-nothing I just mentioned.

However, the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance has operated the Japanese country for many years, so how could the Japanese pirates not know these characteristics?Therefore, the Japanese pirates' desperate move was naturally expected by Mr. Gao Ge... So, do you think that Mr. Gao Ge will not have a corresponding strategy to deal with it? "

Liu Chenglong understood completely now.Well, I predicted your prediction, right?

However, Liu Chenglong still has to admit that Quan Li's analysis is indeed reasonable. The current situation is very likely to have been designed by Mr. Gao Ge early on, and every step of development has not escaped his calculations.Obviously, the subsequent development is unlikely to escape his calculations.

But in this way, Liu Chenglong will inevitably be a little disappointed, because it means that no matter how suspenseful the battlefield situation looks, it is actually doomed.If the Southern People's Party wants to "clear the emperor's side" in such a situation and let the king get rid of Daming's control, then there is little hope.

Quan Li saw that he seemed to be taken away by someone all of a sudden, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and couldn't help but express his thoughts: "And don't worry about seeing your brother, there is not no way at all."

Liu Chenglong was both surprised and delighted, and quickly asked: "The plan will be released?"

"Take advantage of the situation and follow the trend." Quan Li said solemnly: "As far as the current general situation is concerned, don't say that Gao Ge's orders must not be disobeyed. Even if it is the military order of Admiral Ma, I absolutely cannot refuse it. I must obey it completely, so I sent troops. There is nothing to change about the eastward advance.”

Liu Chenglong knew that he must have something to say later, so he just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Sure enough, Quan Li went on to say: "However, the current military order only tells me to go eastward. If Dong Yiyuan does not take over the command immediately after the eastward march, then I still have the right to act freely for a period of time. I can take the opportunity to go to Yuanshan Delay the journey from south to Huaiyang, even if Nabeshima Katsushige is released, he will not go south with him."

Liu Chenglong hesitated: "What is the purpose of Brother Yanshen doing this?"

"Naturally, we are waiting for the opportunity." Quan Li said: "Dong Yiyuan suffered such a disastrous defeat this time, so he must face tremendous pressure, but he is away on an expedition, even if the Ming court wants to hold him accountable, it probably won't be dismissed immediately. It is to let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

In this way, how could Dong Yiyuan stop in Yuanshan for a long time to rest?He is bound to resume the offensive as soon as possible to show the court that he is still a usable soldier.

If he wants to prove himself, he must pursue Katsushige Nabeshima. At the same time, he will naturally take back the command according to the agreement between the king and Admiral Ma, and ask me to obey his orders. "

Liu Chenglong frowned more deeply, and asked: "Isn't this extremely bad?"

"It seems extremely bad, but in fact, because of this, I have a chance." Quan Li smiled slightly.

"Where do you start with this?" Liu Chenglong was surprised: "What does brother Yanshen want?"

"Naturally, I complained to the Shu first, and then deliberately had some quarrels with Dong Yiyuan, and then found an excuse to get angry, and 'in a fit of anger' withdrew the troops back to Hanyang."

Liu Chenglong stood there stunned, not knowing how to express it for a while, but Quan Li continued: "At that moment, Admiral Ma, who was Gao Ge's old confidant general, should have already led his army south to 'rescue him', Hanyang Ming Army Necessarily empty.

It happened that at this time I suddenly led the army back to Hanyang, and I was still "activating the army due to anger", and I might make some radical moves at any time.Unless the general guard of the Hanyang Ming Army has the status of Mr. Gao Ge and the strength of Admiral Ma, otherwise, under my fury and military power, he will naturally only allow me to lead troops into the city...

And seeing brother, the difficulty of the matter you mentioned is that if the Ming army does not allow me to enter the city, it is really inconvenient for me to have a real battle with the Ming army, and under the premise I just mentioned, such a dilemma has come to an end Ming army guards there.

As long as the guard doesn't dare to take the risk of falling out with North Korea, he can only let our army enter the city, and once our army enters the city...it will be a matter of course.Do you think so, and see brother? "

"Papa papa!" Liu Chenglong clapped his palms and praised: "Brother Yanshen's plan is really impeccable, Jackie Chan admires it very much."

Quan Li loves to hear such words, especially if Liu Chenglong is a person who has been in charge of politics like this, it will make him feel more at ease, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, not a single pore is unhappy.But after all, he is also from the top two classes of families. Although he felt extremely comfortable listening to it, he still had a few words of humility on his face.

Liu Chenglong smiled and said: "Since brother Yanshen has such a perfect plan, the preparations I made earlier seem unnecessary. When I return to Hanyang, I will write a letter to withdraw those arrangements."

Quan Li was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What arrangement?"

"It's Li Sunshin's side." Liu Chenglong didn't know if he wanted Quan Li to get to know him better on purpose, and said with a smile, "I originally planned to let Li Sunshin lead the navy to block the Han River at a critical moment and put some pressure on the Hanyang Ming Army. It seems useless now."

Quan Li's complexion was really not very good, but he "hummed" twice, but finally did not express any opinion.

I think it’s too late to update before 0 o’clock anyway, so I slept for three hours before getting up to make up the code words.This chapter is still from yesterday, and today’s update will be counted separately.
