At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 37 The strategy of Huai'an is decided, and one hundred thousand people will show up

There was silence in the field.

Everyone frowned, or crossed their arms, or walked back and forth, or stared at the ground...

Cheng De leaned on his chin and watched the scene in front of him with interest.

How to hit Huai'an Road?

It is indeed a difficult problem.

Cheng De narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking deeply.

The navy has only 1000 people, and it didn't take long to become an army.

It can only be said that it is barely a fight.

However, the thousand-man fleet hidden on Huai'an Road can be used as a surprise army.

And the control of this thousand-man fleet was already in Cheng De's hands.

But this is far from enough.

Then, we can only use our strengths to avoid our weaknesses and attack from land.

at this time.

Feng Guoyong said: "General, this subordinate has a plan."

As soon as the words fell, the others looked at Feng Guoyong in astonishment.

They didn't expect that Feng Guoyong had already figured out how to hit Huai'an Road.

A kind of pressure pervades the hearts of everyone.

At this time, they also wanted to hear Feng Guoyong's countermeasures.

Cheng De's eyes showed surprise, and he said, "What plan?"

Feng Guoyong talked eloquently: "There is a saying in the art of war: all fighters use righteousness to win by surprise. Therefore, those who are good at making surprises are as infinite as heaven and earth, and as inexhaustible as rivers and seas. The end and the beginning are the same as the sun and the moon."

Feng Guoyong paused, "According to a certain plan, the general personally led the army, and put up a decisive battle with the Yuan army near Chuzhou to attract the attention of the Yuan army, and then sent people to Huai'an Road, Yangzhou Road, Jizhou Road, Qinglu, Hefei and other places spread the news that the general sent [-] Sizhou troops to take Chuzhou as a revenge."

"Privately, the general sent several strange soldiers to attack Hongze and Jinhu respectively, with the aim of taking Hongze. Attacking Jinhu is false. Once Hongze is captured, the general will block the news, and then use a strange soldier to cross Hongze Lake. Capture the Qinghe River and occupy the Qingjiang River. Afterwards, the general personally led the army to fight against the Huai'an Road Yuan army in Huai'an City, taking advantage of the situation to take Huai'an City. In this way, Huai'an Road will belong to the general!"

Cheng De thought carefully after hearing this, but didn't speak immediately.

But the others thought in their hearts: General Feng Pian is really powerful, he deserves to be a wise general!
They secretly admire Feng Guoyong.

But Cheng De thought over and over again, and felt that Feng Guo's strategy could be tried.

Suddenly, Lu Youyou said: "General, the navy on Huai'an Road is hiding in the Hongze Lake area. Maybe they can be used as this surprise army to attack Hongze."

Cheng De looked at Lu Wuyue and nodded, "That navy, with 1000 men, is far from enough. However, if we add our navy with 1000 men, and the two teams merge into one, it may not be impossible to take down Hong Kong. However, regarding the candidates to lead the two navy generals, I am determined to give Feng Guoyong full authority to command this battle. Feng Guoyong, are you confident that you can win Hongze?"

Feng Guoyong pondered for a while, "General, if I can get another thousand-man cavalry to help, I will take Hongze as a general!"

Cheng De stared at Feng Guoyong, and said with a smile: "I'll give you two thousand cavalry! Make sure to take down Hongze! In addition, bring Xu Da, Tang He, Zhou Dexing, and Geng Zaicheng with you, and let them see the battlefield. But Remember, even if you lose the battle against Hongze, you must bring Xu Da, Tang He, Zhou Dexing, and Geng Zaicheng back safely."

Hearing this, Feng Guoyong looked at Cheng De in shock.

Xu Da, Tang He, Zhou Dexing, and Geng Zaicheng are so valued by the general.

It was beyond Feng Guoyong's expectation.

Others were also very surprised.

Cheng De didn't explain anything to everyone present.

In his opinion, Xu Da and others will use their military exploits to tell them the answer in the future.

Feng Guoyong quickly withdrew his thoughts, and quickly replied: "Abiding by the order, this subordinate will definitely take down Hongze City!"

"Well, if that's the case, then you will take my order later, go down to prepare food, gather 2000 troops from the cavalry battalion, and personally lead the 1000 sailors, and set off in the early morning of the next day! Zhao Wuliu, the head of the household, can bring you to meet the navy in Hongze, and they will be under your command afterward. I hope this battle will be won!" Cheng De added.

"Yes, General!" Feng Guoyong said with a bow.

Afterwards, Cheng De continued to speak: "The purpose of attacking Jinhu is to cover up Feng Guoyong's attack on Hongze. The choice of this general is very important. I thought twice and decided to hand it over to He Sanwu."

When He Sanwu heard the words, he cheered up and was very moved.

Big Brother, still trust him as always.

He must not disappoint his elder brother.

Since he failed to attack Chuzhou and was injured as a result, he was almost devastated.

Although many people in the army said something publicly, there were always some rumors in private.

No matter what he said, his current status is only based on his relationship with the general, and he has won the trust of the general.

If you change them, the same will work.

Regarding this, He Sanwu was not in a hurry to explain.

During the period after his defeat in Chuzhou, he calmed down and secretly asked Yang Wei for advice on the art of war many times in private, and he practiced calligraphy and reading more diligently.

If it doesn't sing, it will be a blockbuster, if it doesn't fly, it will fly to the sky.

Clearly, the waiting opportunity has come.

He must seize this opportunity.

"He Sanwu will live up to the general's entrustment!" He Sanwu bowed and saluted, his expression extremely excited.

Cheng De squinted slightly at He Sanwu, and nodded, "This time, to attack Jinhu City, I will give you five hundred cavalry, four thousand elites from the Qin Battalion, and two thousand elites from the Divine Arrow Battalion. The main task is to keep the Yuan army in Jinhu City unable to get away and harass them as much as possible. Because once our Sizhou army fights with the Yuan army in Hongze City, if there is a disadvantageous situation in the battle, we will definitely send people to contact the Yuan army in Jinhu City or The Yuan Army of Huai'an City."

"You must remember that not only should Feng Guoyong take Hongze City, but also reduce the casualties of our army. After Feng Guoyong took Hongze City, he sent someone to notify He Sanwu immediately, and He Sanwu immediately withdrew Go out of the area of ​​Jinhu City, turn to cross Hongze Lake, occupy Qingjiang and Qinghe by force, and block the Yuan army in Huai'an."

"Afterwards, I will send someone to take over Hongze City, and then Feng Guo will use you to lead the remaining troops to Qinghe and join He Sanwu to block the Huai'an Yuan army's attack."

"If the Yuan army is in full swing, remember to send someone to send an urgent letter to me immediately, and don't go out of the city to fight. I will personally lead the Sizhou army to surprise the Yuan army in Huai'an City, try to take Huai'an City in one fell swoop, and then encircle Qinghe to invade Yuan army."

"Feng Guoyong (He Sanwu) obeys the order!"

After Cheng De nodded, he turned his attention to Li Sanqi.

"Li Sanqi, you will be in charge of the 5000 men and horses of the captive camp, and help me garrison Sizhou City. As for the 3000 men and horses of the Xuyi Shenji Battalion, Wei Xiao will lead him to garrison Xuyi City. In this case, you can help me to garrison Sizhou City. To Wei Xiao. In the event of an emergency, Wei Xiao and his troops will have full authority to call upon you."

"Yes, general, I, Li Dingguo, will definitely help the general guard Sizhou City, and I will never let the Yuan army enter alone!" Li Sanqi nodded in response.

Although he also wants to fight more battles, he is well aware of the importance of Sizhou City.

Considering the overall situation, some personal ideas must be compromised.

Cheng De nodded in satisfaction.

"As for the general guarding Haozhou, I decided to hand it over to Yang Wei. At the same time, I will leave [-] elite guards in the personal barracks. The military division will stay to assist Yang Wei in defending the city. In addition, the [-] brocade guards under the command of Zhang Qijiu will also stay. There must be no accidents in the state city. Anyone who has Tongyuan, or acts as a minion for a tiger, or commits an adulterous offense will be severely punished according to the law. This matter will be left to Master Lu to be responsible." Cheng De looked at Yang Wei, Zhang Qijiu, and Lu Yong. Said earnestly.

The three of Yang Wei hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Follow the order!"

Cheng De turned his gaze to Yang Zhongkai again: "Commander Yang, you will distribute most of the Jueshengwei's manpower to Hongze, Jinhu, Qinghe, Qingjiang, and Huai'an. If you get enemy intelligence, first The time will be given to He Sanwu and Feng Guo. In addition, I will send people to spread the news on Yangzhou Road, Huaian Road, Jiqing Road, and Luzhou Road that I intend to lead one hundred thousand Sizhou troops to take Chuzhou. Yuan Jun knows my determination."

Yang Zhongkai nodded with a solemn expression.

Afterwards, Cheng De looked at Deng Youde.

Deng Youde secretly looked forward to it.

"Deng Youde, I will leave five thousand soldiers and horses for you to guard Dingyuan." Cheng De's eyes were calm.

"Yes, General!" Deng Youde was slightly disappointed.

Cheng De looked at Deng Youde: "As for me, I will take the remaining nearly [-] soldiers and horses to attract the attention of the Yuan army on Yangzhou Road near Chuzhou. If I lose, I will immediately lead the army back to Dingyuan City."

When Cheng De said this, he paused, "At that time, I will send you a letter to tell you to set up many traps near Dingyuan, and I will lure the Yuan army into the traps, and finally we will fight back together. Yuan army."

"The subordinates must cooperate with the general to repel the Yuan army together!" Deng Youde bowed in salute with a surprised expression on his face.

"In addition, let Feng Sheng, the head of a hundred households in Sizhou City, wait for me in Dingyuan. I heard from Luo Gongfu's letter that Feng Sheng has been studying for a while, and he has calmed down a lot. I will take him by my side and train him. In the future, our Sizhou Army will add a new general who can recruit and fight well! This matter, Commander Yang will inform Feng Sheng after returning to Sizhou City." Cheng De laughed.

Yang Zhongkai nodded.

Feng Guoyong said out loud: "I am on behalf of Ah Sheng, thank you General for your kindness!"

Seeing Feng Guoyong's grateful expression, Cheng De was relieved a lot.

Therefore, Cheng De said with a smile: "You brothers are all capable. Compared with you, Feng Sheng only loses in age. In terms of strategy, in my opinion, he is not inferior to you!"

Feng Guoyong nodded with a smile, thinking: Ah Sheng can be valued so highly by the general, it is not in vain for my careful teaching to him before.

Finally, Cheng De turned his attention to Li Shanchang again, "Master Li, the battle is imminent, and we should make good food arrangements and give priority to Feng Guoyong and He Sanwu's Sizhou soldiers and horses. They will leave Haozhou the next day." Yes. This matter, you work hard!"

"Yes, General, the subordinates will do it later!" Li Shanchang bowed and saluted.

Cheng De looked around the scene, "Of course, the war is very important, but things like locust control and the establishment of the Academy of Sciences are equally important. These are the hard work of Master Lu and Master Li."

"The general is serious!" Li Shanchang and Lu Youyou said hastily.

"In the attack on Huai'an, our Sizhou army can only win if we are united. I also hope that everyone will shoulder their responsibilities and not slack off." Cheng De looked at everyone present and reminded.

"The general is wise!" Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, everyone go their own way!" Cheng De waved his hand.

Immediately, everyone bowed and saluted Cheng De, and hurried away.

Late at night.

Cheng De is going to rest.

Just now.

Suddenly, Zhang Wusi, head of one hundred households of Jinyiwei, came to report: I have news about Chang Yuchun.

After Zhang Wusi entered the study, he lowered his head, bowed his body, held a letter of information in both hands, and handed it to Cheng De.

Cheng De directly picked up the intelligence letter and read it.

However, Cheng De's face was a little weird after reading it.

The content of the letter: Chang Yuchun followed Liu Ju, a green forest robber who was active in Huaiyuan and Dingyuan, blocking roads, looting, and entering houses as robbers.

This Chang Yuchun was jumping around right under his nose.

Cheng De was very happy to know about Chang Yuda's whereabouts.

On the other hand, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Ju, the green forest thief, causing trouble under his rule.

He felt it was necessary to punish this Liu Ju.

At the same time, take advantage of the opportunity to accept Chang Yuchun.

After all, he knew that Chang Yuchun had a brother-in-law - Lan Yu.

Maybe Sapphire is very young now, but he will be very capable of fighting in the future.

Subduing Chang Yuchun meant that Lan Yu would also belong to her own camp.

It's two birds with one stone!
It happened to deal with Liu Ju, the green forest thief, and then slowly rushed to the vicinity of Chuzhou City.

You have to give the Yuan army some preparation time for dispatching troops.

Jueshengwei must also be given enough time to spread the news.

Thinking of this, Cheng De's eyes dimmed.

Chang Yuchun, Cheng De recalled some memories of his previous life:
Chang Yuchun attached himself to Zhu Yuanzhang, invited himself to be a vanguard, and fought hard to defeat the enemy. He once said that he could command [-] people to run amok in the world, and the army called Chang [-].

This is the first pioneer of the Sizhou Army in the future!
You must receive it under your command.

However, history has said that he is particularly fond of bloodthirsty, especially like killing captives.

Cheng De didn't fully believe this.

After all, Ming history has been compiled many times, and some other factors are inevitably mixed in.

Specifically, you still need to get in touch.

Chang Yuchun, just wait!
Sooner or later, you will be the first vanguard of our Sizhou Army!

Also, Liu Ju, you wait too!

Immediately send you down to meet Hades!
