Chapter 195 Changde War (2)
"Hahaha……."
Li Dingguo laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Li really has the wisdom of Zhuge, Zhang Liang's plan, I admire him!"
"The general is accused of praise, but the subordinate is ashamed and dare not take responsibility." Li Yong hurriedly thanked.
"You learn well. Lord Li is a great wise man. Unlike you, you know how to fight and kill, and you know how to swear words. A pair of timids!"
Li Dingguo turned around and scolded Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan again.
Um?
If others can’t scold you, you will start scolding you!
Everyone was stunned.
"Mr. Li, it's not to be hiding from it. The emperor has indeed issued a secret decree. The decree is the same as you predict, which is to withdraw troops and return to Guangzhou as a standpoint, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy." Li Dingguo glanced at Li Yong and said.
"Ah? This?..." When Li Yong heard this, he did not show excitement, but instead looked solemn on his face.
"This, the Grand Marshal, is it a villain in the court?"
"Mr. Li is really smart! He can actually infer the changes in the court from the emperor's secret decree. To be honest, there are not villains in the court, but Qing soldiers." Li Dingguo said quietly with a flat face.
"Ah, carefully?" When he heard this, not only Li Yong, Ma Bao and other generals were stunned and looked at each other.
"Who? Grandmaster, who is Xiaozuo? I'll catch him and chop him up!" Ma Bao glared at his cow's eyes and said angrily.
"Waiting for you? When you go, the emperor has already made him familiar!" Li Dingguo curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"So, the emperor has known who he is long ago and is still using him?" Li Yong was indeed sensitive and captured this information from Li Dingguo's words.
"Yes. Who is this person? Because the emperor has no order, I am not inconvenient to tell you. Let me put it this way, the defeats in Xiangyang, Jingmen and Jiujiang were all because of this person's informing the Qing court of our military strategy and march route, which made the Qing court prepare early. The emperor is really the sage master, and his work is very secretive. It can be said that he is perfect and does not reveal much flaws. It is just because of the failures in these three places. The emperor felt that it was strange, and then secretly verified it in the court, and the result was really found." Li Dingguo said.
"Ah? I found it? It's great!" Everyone was excited when they heard this.
"Not only did it be found, but the emperor also cleverly used the meticulous work. The confrontation between our army and Luo Luohun, Wu Sangui, and Jinghaibo's victory in the East China Sea were all false information sent back to the Qing court. This time, our army was also used to return to Guangzhou to help." Li Ding National Highway.
"I understand, the emperor is wise." Ma Bao and others nodded after hearing this, with their expressions on their faces looking very admirable.
"I understand, the emperor is really wise." Li Yong said the same thing, but the expression on his face looked like he was solved.
What Li Yong thought was that the Ministry of War was fake, so the detailed work was either hidden in the Ministry of War or the Military Affairs Office. Think about the people of the Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Office, and the suspicious people can basically be locked.
"In the secret decree, the emperor ordered our army to use the false information provided by this detailed work to mix up the water, break the current stalemate, follow the flow, hold the sheep, annihilate Luoluohun and Wu Sangui's troops, and then enter Jiangxi to encircle the main force of Jiergalang."
"The emperor only gave a big combat strategy, and the specific combat method was not explicitly stated. Everyone, let me tell you, how to fight?"
Li Dingguo asked.
After hearing this, Ma Bao and others did not dare to say anything, and looked at Li Yong at the same time.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo complained to these subordinates in his heart: "It's normal to be whispered, and there's no meat on the shelf."
I had to ask Li Yong: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Yong pondered for a while and said slowly: "Master, according to what the emperor saw, although the emperor did not say it clearly, there are two things that cannot be moved. The first one, as General Bai said just now, Hunan cannot be destroyed. If the enemy and us have more than 200,000 troops, if the Qing army is introduced into the hinterland of Hunan, even if we win in the end, Hunan will be a mess. Therefore, it is best to set the battlefield north of Changde as the best; the second one, the emperor has always advocated killing and injuring the enemy in large quantities. According to the emperor's wishes, the strategic goal is not to defeat the enemy soldiers, but to wipe out the enemy. After the main force of Jiergalang in the future, our army's combat mission will definitely be mainly the west route, and Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei and Henan are all the targets of our army's military. Therefore, annihilation of these two armies is beneficial to our long-term strategy. It is only..."
"Just what?"
"It is not difficult to lure the Qing soldiers into Changde and rely on the Wuling Mountains to attack their ambush. The difficulty lies in the difficulty. If the Qing soldiers occupy the strategic important area of Jingzhou, they can successfully retreat to Jingzhou in the future. With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it will become a stalemate."
"What should I do according to my lord's opinion?"
"Our army and the Qing army are roughly the same force. It is not difficult to defeat them when they occupy the right time, place and people. However, if we divide the troops behind the enemy, it will not be enough to capture the Jingzhou army again. Even if Chen Kuangxia and Li Guo's 30,000 local troops are added, it will be difficult to achieve it. Unless..., unless another army is formed, ambush near Xiangyang early, and wait for the main force of the Qing army to be lured across the Yangtze River by our army and immediately seize Xiangyang, Jingmen, and Jingzhou, then our army will have a great victory. But where can we change this army?"
After analyzing the general trend between the enemy and us, Li Yong finally said helplessly.
After hearing this, Ma Bao and others were all secretly convinced.
Being convinced is always at a loss for the difficult problems Li Yong said.
"Master, why don't the subordinates lead the mountain army up the Yangtze River and go to Dangyang to ambush in advance?" Li Yong said.
"Hahaha..." Li Dingguo couldn't help laughing again after hearing Li Yong's words.
"Mr. Li, I am really convinced. You are simply a worm in the emperor's belly!"
"Ah? Grandmaster, I heard what you mean, the emperor has made arrangements long ago?" Li Yong asked in surprise and joy.
"Yes, the emperor has been in Buzi for a long time. Funan Bo and Dingbei Bo had secretly marched from Guizhou a few months ago. Now he has arrived at the old town before Xiangyang." Li Ding National Highway.
"Oh, the emperor is so wise." Li Yong stood up and bowed towards Guangzhou, sincerely admiring.
"Yes, over the past few months, the emperor has been strictly ordering our army not to move. I still think it is strange. When will this be spent with the Qing soldiers? I really didn't expect that the emperor had quietly completed such a large layout. It was really a thunder sounded silently." Li Dingguo also praised.
"Master, what are you waiting for? Give an order quickly. Uh, I'm ready. No one is allowed to grab Wu Sangui, so I'll keep it. Uh, you have to catch him with your own hands and take him outside the city of Quanzhou to cast an iron image..." Ma Bao said loudly.
