please make me king

Chapter 1421 Choice
"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Fiction and Reality": Therefore, if you know the place of battle and the day of battle, you can fight thousands of miles away!
From a strategic point of view, Xuanzhen is the battlefield that Zhang Shun chose quietly, so he can grasp the strategic initiative.

And Baoan Prefecture is the battlefield chosen by Hong Tai when he is passive, so he is controlled by others everywhere and is in a strategic passive situation.

However, with the arrival of Kong Youde, the respectful king, Mrs. Hong, the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", saw another possibility.

You can choose the big "battlefield", but I may not be able to choose the small "battlefield".

Originally, he had always thought that without security guards and Yanqing, "shun thieves" would drive straight in and go straight to the north, so Hou Jin could only be locked out of the pass.

Then he watched the opponent's preparations little by little, and used the powerful manpower and material resources in the pass to heap himself to death.

However, when new ideas were opened, everything suddenly became clear.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hong entrusted the military affairs of West Balibao to Gushan Erzhen Turg, and he himself was quietly sent back to Baoan Prefecture.

At that time, the forty red cannons carried by "Wu Zhen Chao Ha" and "San Shun King" did not arrive, but Mrs. Hong couldn't help but began to redeploy them.

"Let the troops stationed in Chang'anling, Yanqing Prefecture, Juyongguan and other places come as soon as possible and join me in the old Baoan City area." Mrs. Hong couldn't help asking Fan Wencheng to draft the "imperial decree".

"With 'Wu Zhenchao Ha' and 'San Shun Wang' and their 'heavy soldiers' and Hongyi cannons, they rushed to the old city of Bao'an as soon as possible."

"The two brothers, Prince Cheng Yuetuo and Bei Zishuotuo, will go down to Miyun if they can, and retreat to Changping if they can't go down."

"If Changping can't keep it, then enter the territory of Bao'an from Yanhekou and Tianjin Pass, and there should be no mistakes."

Yanhekou and Tianjin Pass are located in the southeast of Baoan Prefecture in the area where the Sanggan River flows into the Taihang Mountains.

Since Mrs. Hong has gathered troops here, she is naturally planning to abandon Baoan, Huailai, Yanqing to Juyongguan and deploy her troops in Baoan Old City and the area south of Baoan Old City.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that Xuanfu Town will fall into the hands of the 'Shun Bandits', and we will be cut off from our way back!" Fan Wencheng wrote here, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but bite the bullet and said.

"How stupid is Mr.?" Mrs. Hong couldn't help laughing instead of being angry.

"At the beginning, I also saw the same thing as my husband. I thought that the north could not rely on the desert, and the west could not refuse to 'follow the thieves'. Everything will stop!"

"Unexpectedly, after seeing King Gongshun today, I suddenly realized."

"The area from Xuanfu to Juyongguan is high and dangerous, and there are thousands of walls standing on the wall. We can only build a stronghold and fight a dull battle. This is not the director of my 'Great Qing Dynasty'."

"Attacking the long with the short is tantamount to killing oneself. Is this the way to use soldiers?"

"Today, the new city of my house is the old city, avoiding the backstabbing force of the Ming Dynasty in the east, and the way of 'following the thieves' to the east in the north. It can be called a 'three-legged confrontation'!"

"If the 'thieves' don't attack me, they can't go east; if they can't go down for a long time, there will be worries about the 'Ming Kingdom' regaining Xuanda. This is the so-called 'benefit to others but not to others'. Isn't it good?"

It turns out that Baoanzhou is located in the center of Xuanzhen, Weizhou and the "three inner passes" Juyongguan, Zijingguan and Daomaguan, and it is the place where the main traffic roads must pass.

Among them, Baoan New City is the only way for Xuanda and Dazhen to enter the capital eastward.

Baoan Old City is the only way to merge into the main road of the capital from the direction of Weizhou, and it is also the main road to guard the Sanggan River Valley.

Therefore, in the east-west military struggle, the northern part of Baoan is the key area for the confrontation between the two sides. This is also the main reason why Zhang Shun led the main force to push eastward all the way.

It has to be said that Zhang Shun's choice of this predetermined battlefield is very suitable for the rebel army with many soldiers and relatively low individual quality, but the artillery is extremely ferocious.

Even if Mrs. Hong, the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", came in person, she was beaten like a broken bamboo, making it difficult to resist.

Don't say that the Hongyi cannons of "Wu Zhenchao Ha" and "San Shun Wang" have not arrived, even if they do arrive, with forty cannons against nearly two hundred cannons of the rebels, there is no chance of winning at all.

However, at this critical moment, Hong Tai was extremely keen to discover the importance of the terrain in the southern part of Baoan Prefecture.

It turns out that Baoan Prefecture is broad from east to west and narrow from north to south. From north to south, it is divided into four parts: mountain passages, mountains and river valleys, central hills, and southern mountainous areas.

Among them, what Zhang Shun and Hong Tai were fighting for was the northern mountain passage from Xuanfu to Juyongguan.

Now the area around Shunxiang Fort and Baoan Old City that the rebels are capturing is the area of ​​mountains, rivers and valleys.

And the vast central area to the south is the low mountain and hilly area.

In the low mountain and hilly area, the terrain is undulating, which is not only conducive to infantry building defense with the help of terrain, but also conducive to cavalry driving here.

In a word, for the Houjin side, this place has "the advantages of driving on the plains, but not the disadvantages of flat plains".

It seems that it is specially set up for elite infantry and cavalry, but the artillery is inferior to others.

After Fan Wencheng heard Mrs. Hong's remarks, he couldn't help being ecstatic.

He couldn't help laughing: "If this is the case, this 'Shun thief' should die here!"

"This place is located between Juyongguan and Zijingguan. In the west, you can resist the 'following thieves', in the north, you can 'threat' their way, in the south, you can join Jierhalang, Duoduo and other soldiers, and in the east, you can plunder the Ming Dynasty and go straight to the north."

"This truth is a gift from God to Your Majesty, for this great cause!"

"Haha!" Mrs. Hong couldn't help being proud when she heard the words, and couldn't help laughing, "With your auspicious words, when the world is settled, after a hundred years, you and I will be allowed to share the Taimiao, and your name will be left in history!"

Of course, regardless of what these two people said, it is not easy to change the battlefield from Bao'an New City to Bao'an Old City.

A rebel army was watching outside the city of West Eight Mile Fort, and they might attack and kill them at any time.

Second, although Shi Tingzhu and Kong Youde arrived as soon as they arrived, they were only as the forerunners and rushed to return ahead of schedule.

It will take a day or two for the "heavy soldiers" of "Wu Zhen Chao Ha" and "San Shun King" to arrive.

In this way, the area around West Balibao still needs to be held firmly, and the main force of later gold needs to start moving south.

Not to mention what Mrs. Hong and Fan Wencheng's plan was, let's say that after Zhang Shun got the news, he didn't care about rest, so he rushed to the camp outside Xibali Fort early on horse Qingqi overnight.

"What's going on?" Zhang Shun asked the group of people who were welcoming him just as he arrived at the camp.

"Your Highness, the matter is like this!" Li Shi'an heard the words and quickly reported.

"Since His Royal Highness went to the old city during the day, we have launched a violent bombardment on Xibali Fort according to the order."

"Three places have collapsed now. As usual, Jin will definitely take the initiative to attack and then take the opportunity to repair the city wall."

"I never thought that after noon today, I would not send troops. The minister felt strange, so he used the binoculars to observe the enemy's movements."

"This observation doesn't matter, the flags in the fort are actually shaking, and they are staggering to the east."

"I thought that Empress Jin Duoqi was not afraid of me breaking the city. Even if Xibali Fort is broken, he can leave calmly."

"Now that the West Bali Fort has not been set down, but the golden soldiers left in a hurry, there must be other plans, and please learn from your highness!"

"Do you all think so?" Zhang Shun frowned upon hearing this, and couldn't help but turned to ask Gao Qiqian, Xu Ziyuan and others.

"Us? I think it's just that there is not enough food in Houjin, so I sent people to 'grass valley'!"

"No, 'Dacaogu' used so many people, there must be other considerations..."

Immediately, a crowd of people waited and chatted, guessing endlessly.

This is the trouble in this era. It is very difficult to obtain information, and the transmission speed is still very slow. Often a very small sign is found, and the rest is all up to the brain.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but have a headache for a moment as to what Mrs. Hong planned.
