East Factory Governor

Chapter 133 Counterattack Luo Wenyu

Qin Shuhuai said, "Under the order of the emperor, I went to Ji Town to investigate the battle situation together with Deputy Li Qianhu and Meng's brothers. We first found Huang Taiji's tens of thousands of troops five miles away from Zunhua City. Then we went to Chenjiagou , and found the Azig army rushing to Zunhua. I thought that Azige deliberately bypassed the Santun camp, and he was bound to join forces with Huang Taiji to besiege Zunhua, so he wanted to follow up quietly to see if It's true. I didn't expect that when they reached Shangshui River, they would suddenly hide in the forest on both sides! These two Tartars were caught in Hexiwu."

Zhao Lijiao looked at that Jurchen tartar, and then at Qin Shuhuai, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

He began to believe that what Qin Shuhuai said was true.He believed that even if Qin Qianhu's background was somewhat unknown, it was impossible for the big Han generals in the three palaces to defect to the enemy at the same time and lie about the military situation.

Now an extremely contradictory question was before his eyes.

If Huang Taiji and Azig's army arrived at Zunhua before him, then he would definitely not be able to enter Zunhua city by himself.If you can't enter Zunhua City, you can only fight the Tartars in the field, which is tantamount to death.On the one hand, the field combat capability of the Tazi army is superior to that of the Guanning army. On the other hand, in order to march quickly, all the four thousand elites of my own are lightly armed, not to mention heavy cavalry, even the heavily armored infantry, let alone have no way beated.

What's more, this Qin Qianhu has already said that Azig's army is ambushing him on the way to Zunhua City.If I go according to the original plan, wouldn't I be throwing myself into a trap?
The facts are in front of us, and it is difficult to save Zunhua.

But the problem is that military orders cannot be disobeyed. Governor Yuan wants to save Zunhua by himself. If he changes his route without authorization, if Zunhua City is destroyed later, the court will blame him, and he will be executed according to the law.

Those idiots in the Ministry of War and the court don't care if they have any legitimate reasons, as long as they don't arrive on time, they will definitely not let themselves go!
Is there an ambush?Isn't the field battle an opponent of slavery?These reasons will become an excuse for him to fight cowardly and escape. It's no wonder they don't tear themselves apart!
Seeing Zhao Shuhuai's indecisive expression, Qin Shuhuai had expected it, and said, "General Zhao, Zunhua City is absolutely not allowed to go. However, Zunhua City must be saved."

His words hit Zhao Shujiao's heart, Zhao Shujiao pondered for a while, and asked, "According to Qianhu's opinion, how should we save Zunhua?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled lightly and said, "General Zhao, has he ever heard of besieging Wei and saving Zhao?"

Zhao Shujiao opened his eyes slightly, and said again, "What is Qin Qianhu's best plan?"

Qin Shuhuai said without hesitation, "Jiannu first entered the Central Plains. Although he was invincible, he didn't think he was invincible. The leader of the bandit, Huang Taiji, has always been cunning and cunning. He must have prepared a way out to ensure that if the battle goes bad after entering the fortress, the army will have a chance to retreat outside the fortress. .And judging from the current location of the slave-building army, where does General Zhao think their retreat will be?"

Zhao Lediao pondered for a while, then opened his eyes suddenly, and shot two rays of light.

Suddenly he said, "Since the Jiannu are moving closer to Zunhua, their retreat must be at Da'ankou and Luowenyu. These two are the closest Great Wall passes to Zunhua. If they are unfavorable in the war, they have to retreat. Definitely will choose these two places.”

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "General Zhao has learned a lesson. The soldiers who built slaves and bandits were not many, they would not divide their troops along the way, they would only choose important passes to garrison, and Da'ankou and Luowenyu are the places they must pass through when they exit the pass. However, judging from the current situation, Huang Taiji's central army and Azig's left-wing army are all near Zunhua, while the main force of Yuetuo's right-wing army has arrived at Shimenzhai on the 28th, which shows that the Tazi soldiers in Da'ankou and Luowenyu In fact, there are not many. The main force should be the surrendered Han army. This part of the Han army’s combat power is not high, and I believe that most of the low-level sergeants are forced to surrender, and the resistance should not be too fierce. Among them, Luo Wenyu is only seventy or eighty miles away from here. , we can arrive tomorrow morning, when our army will besiege with 4000 people, it will be broken!"

What Qin Shuhuai said are all historical facts.Garrisoning troops in Luowenyu and leaving a way to retreat outside the pass is in line with the common sense of using troops and also in line with Huang Taiji's character, so he believes that this point of history should not change much.

Zhao Ratejiao still frowned, it could be seen that he still had no idea about this plan.

Qin Shuhuai continued, "If we capture Luowenyu, we only need to let go of a small group of Jiannu to report the news, and then pretend to continue to attack Da'ankou. Huang Taiji will probably think that our army has cut off the rear. Huang Taiji is an extremely cautious person. Without understanding the specific deployment of our army, he is very likely to be bluffed by us, so he will send troops back to assist Da'ankou and Luowenyu, and keep the retreat route to the outside of the Great Wall. In this way, the siege of Zunhua will naturally be solved!"

Zhao Lijiao was silent for a long time, and then said, "What Qin Qianhu said is just a possibility. What if Jiannu doesn't come back to help, but chooses to capture Zunhua and continue westward?"

In fact, Qin Shuhuai had great confidence in Huang Taiji's return to aid Da'ankou and Luo Wenyu.Because Hou Jin was indeed more cautious in the early stage of entering the customs, and did not underestimate the Ming army too much. After all, Ning Jin's defeat is still in sight.This can be reflected in many historical materials.For example, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were worried that after entering the fortress, the enemy would be outnumbered and be surrounded and wiped out by the Ming army, so they persuaded Huang Taiji to retreat several times. He didn't dare to attack Zunhua City, so with this kind of mentality, he suddenly heard that the way out of the fortress was cut off, and then recalled that he was invincible all the way after entering the fortress. A normal person would doubt whether the Ming army had set up a trap.

More importantly, even if Huang Taiji is not worried and does not return aid, Daishan and Mang Gurtai, the two Baylors, are bound to persuade him to return aid.These two people had always opposed the entry into the fortress in the early days, but the Ming army in history was too useless, and finally the two gradually dispelled their doubts and stopped raising objections.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Huang Taiji did not return to aid in the end, or only returned to aid some of the troops, and some still attacked Zunhua City, Qin Shuhuai's goal had been achieved.

His sole purpose was to save Zhao Liaojiao and these four thousand elite soldiers.What he has to do now is to do everything possible to lure Zhao Ratejiao to Luowenyu.As long as he can eat up the thousands of golden soldiers from Luo Wenyu's side, with this level of military exploits, and he and Sun Chengzong, who appreciates Zhao Shujiao, speak well of him in front of Chongzhen, Zhao Shujiao will definitely not die.

Zhao Ratejiao didn't say a word, and began to meditate with a solemn expression.

At this time, Meng Wei also said, "General Zhao, Qin Qianhu's words are reasonable. We have seen Huang Taiji's army and Azige's army with our own eyes. General, don't fall into the trap of Jiannu again. Sent the lives of four thousand soldiers!"

Meng Hu and Li Jingting on the side also echoed.

Zhao Lijiao raised his eyelids when he heard the words "the lives of four thousand soldiers".Many of these soldiers were recruited one by one by him in Qiantunwei back then, who wasn't the brother who risked his life with him?These brothers don't say that they can recite their names back and forth, but they can know a little bit about the number of people in their family, the number of acres of land, and the names of their wives and children.

I was able to go from being a sinner with only a few dozen servants to sitting in General Ping Liao and Zuo Dudu today. Didn't these brothers exchange blood for me?

Disobeying military orders and changing lanes without authorization, even if you die, you will only die yourself.But if you go to Zunhua, you may kill all your brothers, which is more important?

His eyes gradually became firmer, his back straightened even more, obviously he had made up his mind.

But before speaking, he glanced at Li Decheng first, and then asked, "What do you think Li Jianjun thinks?"

His rogue and smooth side showed again.Li Decheng is the supervisor of the army, and he changed the military order without authorization. If he got Li Decheng's consent, the crime would be less serious.

How could Li Decheng not know his intentions?I am the supervisor of the army, if I agree with him to change the military order, as long as the court blames me, I can't escape the death penalty.

Qin Shuhuai was a little worried that Li Decheng would disagree.

Li Deguo said coldly, "General Zhao is going to use our family as a shield envoy to block arrows."

Qin Shuhuai was about to speak, but he heard Li Decheng smile sadly, there was helplessness in the smile, more resignation to fate.

"Hehe, our family has served the emperor all his life, and he has already given everything to the emperor. If we can save these four thousand elite soldiers for the emperor, what's the matter with our family dedicating their heads to the emperor?"

Qin Shuhuai was startled.

Zhao Ratejiao was also taken aback.

"General Zhao, order the army to set off. The military order was changed by our family, and it was because our family supervised the army ineffectively. This is probably the case for Qi, hehe, hahahahaha..."

Qin Shuhuai bowed heavily to Li Decheng and said, "Eunuch Li is righteous!"

Zhao Ledjiao held his head high and screamed with all his strength, "The whole army obeys the order and attacks Luo Wenyu!"
