Borrow the day to change the day

In a bay not far to the right of the mouth of the Liaohe River, if someone Jianlu climbed up to Yading and looked down, no matter how nervous people are, they would be shocked by what they saw.

Because there are all kinds of boats parked on this sea, people with weak eyesight cannot count how many bows there are.

Zhong Jinwei was on the largest blessing boat, talking in the cabin at this moment.

"Master Yuan didn't come?" Zhong Jinwei frowned and asked in surprise the two generals in Ningjin military uniforms standing in front of him.

These two men were Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and He Kegang, the deputy commander-in-chief, who were ordered to report to the Marquis of Zhongxing.

Hearing Zhong Jinwei's question, and ignoring to say hello to Cao Wenzhao who was standing behind Zhong Jinwei, Zu Dashou immediately replied: "Yuan Zhongcheng's condition is getting worse and he can't go to the battle. Mr. Sun Ge has already reported to the capital, please send an imperial doctor to treat him."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jinwei stood up from his seat, stared at Zu Dashou and asked, "Why is it so serious?"

"Lord Hou, Yuan Zhongcheng is old, and he has been worrying about the war for more than half a year in Liaodong. He was overworked, and there were signs before. After the Jianlu retreated, his mind was relaxed, and he caught the cold. You need to rest more, and I believe you will get better in the end. Yes." He Kegang interjected to explain.

He has been following Yuan Keli's side all the time, so he needs to know more about it.

Zhong Jinwei looked at He Kegang, then at Zu Dashou, and understood in his heart that apart from dealing with the Jian captives, Yuan Keli also had to fight wits and courage with these Liaodong generals, which must have resulted in physical weakness!

But Zhong Jinwei didn't say anything, he pointed with his hand: "Sit down and talk."

Zu Dashou and He Kegang thanked Zhong Jinwei, took their positions according to their official positions, and then looked at Zhong Jinwei, waiting for him to speak.

"Tell me about your situation." Zhong Jinwei said to them as he sat down.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he clasped his fists and replied: "Master Hou, the Guan Ning Army has come with [-] infantry troops, and they are carrying three months' worth of supplies and some equipment for defending the city."

Not bad, Zhong Jinwei nodded while thinking.The Guanning Army in his plan is mainly for auxiliary purposes, and one of the biggest tasks is to defend the defeated Haizhou City.After all, the new army still had to return to the capital after the war ended.

"What is the branch of the Five Thousand Infantry Army?" Zhong Jinwei asked further.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he replied without hesitation: "Five hundred archers, three thousand firecrackers, one thousand pikemen, and the rest are gunners."

Zhong Jinwei smiled and said: "It seems that Master Sun has already told you about the combat mission?"

It was Zu Dashou who answered: "Mr. Sun Ge just said that he will be stationed in Haizhou City, and the rest will be under the orders of Lord Hou."

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the specific battle plan for this time." After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the bulkhead on the left side with a map hanging on it.

Cao Wenzhao, who had been standing behind him, also followed, took out the stick first, and handed it to Hou Zhongxing.

When Zu Dashou and He Kegang saw it, they quickly stood up and walked over quickly.

"This time our combat target is Haizhou, and you all know that. Our marching route will be divided into two parts. Your infantry and the car camp in the new army will take sea boats along the Liaohe River directly to Niuzhuang Station. Here is a The key point, you need to pay attention."

Zhong Jinwei pointed at the map with a thin stick to explain. When he said this, his eyes turned to Zu Dashou and He Kegang.

"Master Hou, please tell me." Zu Dashou responded.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head to the map again, pointed to a place and said: "When you pass by here, the smoke from this fortress will rise to let Jianlu know that this place is under attack. At this time, you must speed up, land at Niuzhuang Station, and surround the fortress. Where is the Jianlu? If Jianlu sends a messenger to rush out, don't stop him."

When Zu Dashou heard it just now, he wanted to ask a question.But seeing that Zhong Jinwei was still explaining, he held back.

As soon as Zhong Jinwei stopped talking, he couldn't help asking immediately: "Master Hou, why did you let the messenger go? Wouldn't this expose the truth and let Jianlu get reinforcements?"

Zhong Jinwei smiled, if Lu Xiangsheng was here, even if he hadn't told him beforehand, Lu Xiangsheng probably would understand.

He patiently explained to Zu Dashou: "What I want is this effect. Your goal is to destroy the Jianlu in Niuzhuang Station, and my goal is to destroy the Jianlu's reinforcements."

When Zu Dashou heard it, he guessed with a look of surprise: "Siege the city and fight for aid?"

He had dealt with Jianlu for many years, and Jianlu often used this trick, no matter how stupid he was, he thought of it immediately.It's just that to use this trick, the prerequisite is that you must have the advantage in the field.Otherwise, if you can't beat them in a field battle, and you still besiege the city to fight for reinforcements, you will be beaten by reinforcements.

Zhong Jinwei secretly said that Zu Dashou had a lot of military experience, and he immediately affirmed: "It is to besiege the city and fight for aid, but the first batch of troops to land is only you Guanning Army."

Zu Dashou was a little strange, and quickly asked: "Isn't there still a car camp?"

"After you confirm that Jianlu sent an envoy, you will completely surround the Jianlu in Niuzhuang Station. Only at this time will the Cheying land, in order to prevent Jianlu from knowing that the new army is coming, understand?" Zhong Jinwei shook his head and continued to be careful explained.

Zu Dashou and He Kegang looked at each other, and immediately understood Zhongxinghou's intentions.Lord Hou was afraid that Jianlu would not send troops to rescue him if he knew the new army was coming.

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou faintly envied the new army for having such ability.

"Understood." Zu Dashou immediately agreed.

"Finally, there is one more request, that is, you have half a day to wipe out all the Jianlu in Niuzhuang Station as much as possible. Then block the Jianlu who came to the rescue, and together with the new army, make dumplings for this Jianlu army to ease the attack on the sea. pressure from the state." When Zhong Jinwei said this, he began to put away his smile.

Zu Dashou didn't answer right away, he asked Zhong Jinwei, "Master Hou, how many Jian captives are there in Niuzhuang Station?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei shook his head and said: "It has not been confirmed yet, but Niuzhuang Station is not as important as before, and it should not exceed a thousand. But don't worry, there is Cheying to act with you, and you account for an absolute number. If you still can’t win, just go home and farm.”

After Zhongxing Hou said this, Zu Dashou dared to have other opinions, so he quickly agreed.

Zhong Jinwei's face suddenly became more serious. He looked at Zu Dashou and said, "Let me remind you that this battle is extremely important. Anyone who dares to neglect his duties or neglect military plans will be ineffective in the battle. No matter who it is, we will Let's cut it with Shangfang sword first."

Zu Dashou has seen someone behead a soldier without permission, and wonders if Marquis Zhongxing will do the same.Under the pressure of Zhong Jinwei's gaze, he knew in his heart that Zhongxing Hou was speaking to him, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, this kind of thing will never happen, and the general will strictly supervise it." Zu Dashou quickly expressed his opinion.

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei smiled again and said, "That's fine, do you have any questions?"

Zu Dashou didn't speak, but He Kegang said: "Master Hou, what should we do with the fortresses when the boat enters the Liaohe River? Wouldn't the Jianlu send a message when the fleet entered the Liaohe River, and let our army go to Niuzhuang Station again?" Launch an offensive?"

He had been wanting to talk about this issue before, and felt that there was something wrong with Zhongxing Hou's strategy, because he ignored this major premise.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei said with a smile: "I have sent special forces to solve it, just wait for the news."

"Special forces?" Zu Dashou and He Kegang had a series of question marks on their heads.
