Chapter 466 Jiangyin Hou’s surprise

7days ago Historical fiction 7
The old house with earthen walls and tile roofs is a bit gloomy at night.Fortunately, there are many people around me. Even when I get up late, I can still hear vague speeches and horses from time to time in the house.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu had nowhere to vent his anxiety.In this remote mountainous area, there is neither a delicacy that can arouse appetite nor annoyance to repair the car immediately, which makes him feel even more dull.

He thought to himself: When this battle is won, I will find a hundred young and beautiful ladies to have fun!

Looking at the oil lamp as big as beans, Zhu Gaoxu even began to imagine what it felt like to be surrounded by a hundred beauties.

The place must not be in such a dilapidated yard, but in a luxurious and spacious mansion.

There is a steaming pool so that he can bathe and change clothes first, while admiring the thin and fat beauty, and pick and choose to look at the people he likes the most.

Countless beauties surrounded him, their eyes full of awe, and their yearning and desire for wealth and status. The fiery eyes were both vulgar and exciting.

Miaojin once said that Gao Xu is a greedy person.

Zhu Gaoxu had never thought about this problem before, but now he feels that Miao Jin is right at all.

He occasionally finds himself unable to control himself and his heart is filled with all kinds of desires.

Such thoughts are like the devil hidden in the heart, and when they are anxious or dull, they will uncontrollably enter their minds; they are also like bad ideas hidden in the hearts of people. Sometimes they fantasize about how to do bad things, similar to this feeling.

So when Zhu Gaoxu first started to raise an army, he thought he was trying to protect himself.

Later he found that he was full of enthusiasm for the great benefits of war; at this time he could not deceive himself, and the struggle was also to get more!

Temptation and fear exist in the heart at the same time.This is probably his mentality when he had nothing. After so many years, his nature is still difficult to change.

Zhu Gaoxu tossed and turned, finally turned over from the wooden bed and put on a robe.The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is very large, and the coolness is sensational after night.

He moved the oil lamp left, shone it on the map on the table, and looked at it for a long time.

He felt a mess in his heart, so he closed his eyes a little again, sat there silently, adjusting his breathing.

He could hear the sound of his breathing, gradually becoming even.

Zhu Gaoxu's mind gradually became clear. From a rough map with only lines and circles, he imagined mountains, woods, roads, houses, crops... and even scouts with all faces flashed through his mind when describing the landscape.

Zhu Gaoxu used to not like writing and was used to keeping things in his mind.

This is very laborious, but it also has benefits. It will be very fast when analyzing and judging things.

Of course, what is written on paper is not as flexible and fast as a human mind...

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu got up a little late.He was awakened by the sound of trumpets, drums and all kinds of noises.

By the time he went to the square table in the living room for breakfast, the civil and military officials were already dressed neatly and ready for a new itinerary.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly finished breakfast, stood up from the square table, changed to a wooden bench, looked back and said straight to the point: I think Zhang Fu wanted to rely on Xiangjiang River to fight us in Huguang.Wu Gao wanted to go to Guilin Prefecture first, then follow the Li River and Lingqu to Xing'an County, Guilin Prefecture, and enter the Xiangjiang River Basin to reach the support range of the main force of the enemy in Huguang.

His tone was calm and his expression was calm and calm.In front of people, he no longer had the hesitation and impetuousness of last night.

All the confidant generals and civil servant Hou Hai nodded one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: Wu Gao's army has more than 100,000 troops. Once he moves closer to Zhang Fu, the power balance in the future battle will be even more unfavorable to us!Our current goal is to stop Wu Gao from advancing to the Xiangjiang River; it is best to catch Wu Gao and annihilate him in Guangxi!

Hou Changshi immediately compiled a book later and informed Sheng Yong, commander of the Southern Army, and informed us of our goals.Sheng Yong's army must cooperate with the central army to complete the battle to intercept and destroy Wu Gao.

Hou Hai bowed and said, "The lower official obeys the order."

Hou Hai thought about it and said: The prince must explain the strategy more thoroughly, which may be of some benefit to General Sheng Yong.

Zhao Ping also asked: Last night, the prince said that Wu Gao’s army would arrive at Liuzhou Prefecture earlier. How should we catch up with him?Prince, if we speed up the marching from today, can we arrive at Liuzhou Prefecture before Wu Gao?

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: Wu Gao is a little cowardly in leading his troops, but he can't underestimate him.He was cautious in combat, rarely won a complete victory, but he had almost never lost!If we march for a long time, we will be exhausted and our troops are fewer than Wu Gao, it is hard to say whether we can defeat him.However, the most likely thing that Wu Gao found that after we accelerated the march, he might not continue to go north, but would turn around and avoid war in the direction of the Guangdong Provincial Administration.

It is not that easy to march for a long distance, and the soldiers have been marching normally for more than forty miles in a day. Zhu Gaoxu knows how he feels when he walks with weights for more than twenty kilometers every day.

Zhao Ping thought about it and clasped his fists and said: What the prince said is very true. With the temperament of Jiangyin Marquis, I am afraid that the prince will really make the prince say it right.

Zhu Gaoxu waved and asked a few people to approach, so I decided to give Wu Gao an unexpected surprise!Only when something unexpected happened would Wu Gao make a mistake in panic and give me the opportunity to defeat him!

Zhu Gaoxu pointed at the location of Qingyuan Mansion on the map. Before the main force of the army arrived at Qingyuan Mansion (Hechi City), everything was still marching.The variable is in Qingyuan Prefecture. After the central army arrived here, they immediately changed direction and marched towards Rongxian (Rongshui Miao Autonomous County); then took the mountain road to the south of Guilin Prefecture!

Wang Bin's vanguard first pretended to march to the Liuzhou official road to the east and took a walk along the road for fake news. After Wang Bin arrived at Liucheng County in the northwest of Liuzhou, he immediately turned north and walked to Rongxian, and the vanguard turned into a rear army.

Zhao Ping hurriedly said: Prince, the army is walking on this road, without any official pavings on the post road, and the roads along the road are rugged and mountains.It may be a bit difficult to move forward!

That's why you're surprised!Zhu Gaoxu said seriously, "If you raise troops for a thousand days, you will use troops for a while. I believe that my brothers can not only march on the spacious official road and fight a battle with a great chance of victory; but also overcome difficulties and do things that no one can do!When the central army arrived at Qingyuan Prefecture, they immediately ordered the troops to change their routes!

Everyone stopped dissuading and answered with their fists.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at Wang Yu and said: Commander Wang sent a scout, took local officials with him to the road to Rongxian to explore the terrain, route, and water source.You should make more friends with local natives and persuade them to serve as guides; remember to bring some cloth and silverware from the Central Army, and all natives like silver jewelry.

Wang Yu clasped his fists and said: The last general will get the order!

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: Some of the troops in the central army have set out, so you can also prepare.The recent march, everything is as usual.

Everyone answered and said goodbye.Hou Hai said: The official will go and write the letter immediately, and after writing, I will send it to the prince for a review.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, looked at the map on the table, and said without raising his head. Hou Changshi stayed, and I still have a few words to say to you.

Everyone walked out of the door of the tiled house one after another, and only Hou Hai stood in front of the square table.

Zhu Gaoxu said: In your letter to Sheng Yong, it is clear that it is impossible to determine which path Wu Gao will take at this time. It depends on Wu Gao, and see when he will discover our itinerary.This king will inform the enemy of the enemy through the safe road stronghold.

Hou Hai bent down and bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: From Libo County to Liuzhou Prefecture is a main official road. Since Wu Gao has learned that our army is heading south, there must be a detailed scout near the official road.However, the native villages in the mountainous areas are easily ignored by him.

If Wu Gaojun discovered the route of our division as soon as he left Liuzhou Prefecture, he would not go north again and might change the route towards He County (Hezhou City) of Pingyue Prefecture.

On the contrary, if Wu Gao discovered it too late, he would be trapped between the mountains on both sides of the Luoli River and could not advance or retreat; then he would most likely turn around and return to Liuzhou Prefecture first.

The letter said that Sheng Yong planned the route based on this military situation.They can adapt to the situation and based on Sheng Yong's safe side, they are fully responsible for making decisions on military affairs of the Southern Army.

Hou Haidao: The emperor obeys the order!

Zhu Gaoxu turned to the guard and said: I have collected all the maps and things, and we will set off later.

The personal guard said: Yes, prince.

Zhu Gaoxu continued to sit next to the square table, looking thoughtful, and was stunned.

Many royal family members in the court criticized him and said that Gao Xu was cunning.But he himself didn't care. He was always cheating. If he fought honestly, it would be strange if he could catch Wu Gao!

In the south with diverse terrain, the armies on both sides are mainly infantry.

Because at this time, traffic mainly relies on feet, and the efficiency of information transmission and marching is very low, if one side is unwilling to fight, it will be difficult for a big war to happen.

Even now, Zhu Gaoxu is still doubtful about whether he can capture Wu Gaojun.There are 100,000 people on both sides, and the various things that happen are really beyond the control of one person.

But Zhu Gaoxu hopes that even if this military use cannot annihilate Wu Gao, he must be forced to go to the direction of the Guangdong Provincial Administration.

Otherwise, the main force of Zhang Fu's army would increase by 100,000 again, and Zhu Gaoxu's confidence in the battle in Huguang would be much lower... Both sides were mainly the main army of the Ming Dynasty's garrison, and the gap was not very big from equipment training to combat capabilities; if the number of people was too different, such a large battle would not be able to determine the outcome by tricks.

And as Zhang Fu thought, Zhu Gaoxu also hoped that the battle in Huguang would happen.

The two people think about the problem differently.

Zhang Fu wanted to relied on water transportation to gather a large army and occupy the territory; Zhu Gaoxu wanted to solve the various crises faced by the Han Palace once and for all.

But they all have the same end of each other, and want to use a large-scale decisive battle to solve the problem as soon as possible!

My colleagues who have fought the Jingnan Battle and the Battle of Annan together have similar experiences, and sometimes their ideas really affect each other.
