Chapter 302 Praise

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Hu Ying, who just took office, was not troubled.

Zhang Ning was talking to Zhu Heng by the river. I had a lot of contact with this person and I still had some understanding of him.If you are an official in the same court with him, you will be more careful. The way of being an official is very particular.However, now everyone is their own masters, and facing each other, he is completely inferior to Yu Qian; and there are some reasons. Compared with Yu Qian, Hu Ying has many objective shortcomings, and he does not understand the situation on the ground for the first time; he does not have Yu Qian's military talent.

Zhu Heng nodded in favor: In this way, we still have a lot to do without being scheming everywhere.Apart from Hu Ying, the one in power was Xue Lu. He had heard of the old minister Xue Lu when he was in the palace of the Han Dynasty. He could not be said to be a clever person... At that time, there was a fabricated joke in the world, saying that the King of Han raised an army in Le'an. When he heard that the court sent Xue Lu to suppress the rebellion, he laughed and said that this person must be no opponent; later he heard that it was the British Duke, and the King of Han was anxious.Ha, the old minister used to go in and out of the Han Palace, but he really didn't see this.The world's fabrication of this passage is also a judgment on Xue Lu's talent.

After saying that, Zhu Heng looked up at the wood floating on the river, facing the cool breeze of the rain, and couldn't help but say casually: But will Xue Luzhen be fooled?

It was because Zhu Butang said that I had more confidence in him.

Zhang Ning calmly said, Xue Lu is different from Hu Ying. Hu Ying was originally a close minister of the emperor, but now he has been neglected and excluded many times. He is already discouraged and no longer has great ambitions. Although Xue Lu is not as good as the Duke of England, he has always been trusted by the emperor. He needs greater contributions and greater honors. How can he tolerate the humiliation of being ridiculed?He will not be without enterprising spirit.

Zhu Heng's expression turned solemn, but Marquis Wuyang was not a person who was famous for his false reputation.Although I am studying and entering the officialdom, I am only interested in military tactics and I also like to inquire about famous generals in the world.Xue Lu has many strengths. He has strict discipline on his subordinates and is good at appeaseing soldiers. He leads his army and often shares joys and sorrows with his soldiers. He is very motivated by the army and is very good at fighting.I'm afraid we're not very relaxed in this battle.

Zhang Ning sighed: What Zhu Butang said is very true. No matter how you plan, you always have to fight to win.If you can't win if you go to the battlefield, no matter how many plans you plan will be in vain.

His sigh was that the central court was indeed full of talents, and Xue Lu was indeed excellent as a military general, at least stronger than most of the military generals under Zhang Ning.

He lamented the so-called thirst for talent, and he did experience it when he wanted to use it.

……

As expected, the movements of the government army soon showed their enterprising spirit.

The main force of the Northern Route Army has dispatched from Changde Prefecture, and it has reported that its baggage is mostly carried out from the waterway. Thousands of sails compete on the Yuan River and covered by boats on the river. The mobilization of 50,000 or 60,000 people is very static, and I can see it casually.

In addition, there were news coming one after another, and it seemed that the remaining troops of the South Route Army near Changsha also showed signs of mobilization to the south after resting.

Zhang Ning adopted the suggestions of the Senate and prepared to go out of the city and pretend to lure the enemy to the southeast.

Because after obtaining the early strategy of the official army, the Vermilion Bird Army believed that they must have conducted a detailed investigation of the terrain along the Yuanshui River; if the Vermilion Bird Army went north to fight, the official army would most likely use the method of occupying the high ground in the early strategy to fight the war of attrition.

Once they fall into a stalemate, the logistics of the Zhuque Army cannot bear it and will be over after a little time. The enemy does not need to use any tricks to cut off the food route, and they have no food route at all.

Zhang Ning's ideal design is to lure the main force of the official army to pursue the open land near Chenzhou City, and then turn around and fight it to the decisive battle.

It is a quick battle and a quick decision. If you win, fight. If you can't win, play as soon as possible to avoid getting out of ammunition and food. It's very happy.

The things that the Suzaku Army was preparing to travel were very bulky and had no intention of escaping from the beginning.

The army carried heavy equipment including various types of artillery, the heaviest one was the newly built small-caliber long-barrel cannon.

The so-called small cannon is actually heavier than the field cannons made in Changde Mansion. The gun body weighs about 400 kilograms, and the live ammunition is mixed with lead-iron, weighing between two and a half kilograms and three kilograms. Compared with the mortar cannons with thin barrels and large guns made by the Suzaku Army before, and the Fran machine cannon, this long-barrel cannon is also bulky.

In addition, Zhang Ning also asked Yao Ji, his wives and concubines to prepare to set out with the army, because Chenzhou was empty and inevitably was accidentally occupied by the official army, and it would be very uncomfortable if his family was abducted by the time.

There is also the captured Yu Qian. The cult wardens asked whether to be executed, but Zhang Ning also planned to bring it with him.

Yu Qian is a civil servant, and Zhang Ning plans to ask Wenjun to take two people to take care of him.

He went to meet Yu Qian in person and told him about the next matter of leaving the city.

For some reason, the people Zhang Ning wanted to get along with and talk to in private were the beauties, including Yu Qian and Zhu Heng, who always felt that it was good to be able to speak; although Yu Qian had hurt him many times, he felt a little disgusted in his emotions.

But this time Yu Qian seemed to ignore him a little. Zhang Ning sat in front of him, guessing in his heart that he might be unhappy with his way of making decisions about women.

Zhang Ning said a lot to himself, and Yu Qian finally said: I am useless to you, aren’t you afraid of fighting in the army, so will I run away while I’m going to run?

I have experienced many of Yu Tingyi's abilities, but I am doubtful to say that the central army, who is on guard, run away such abilities.

Zhang Ning said easily, of course, if you run away while the Central Army is in chaos, then that's nothing.Because once the central army is in chaos, I may be defeated. Even if you don’t run away, I will let you go.

oh?Yu Qian's cold attitude immediately changed. He looked at Zhang Ning curiously, "Will you let me go?"

Zhang Ning looked calm, but there was no joke: You don’t need to doubt me, I don’t need to mess with you.I have told Mr. Yu that you and I have no selfish grudges. It’s time for me to be defeated. What’s the benefit of harming you?Furthermore, my purpose of raising an army is not to retaliate against society, but to make the world uneasy.If I was defeated, the world would definitely be ruled by Emperor Xuande. It would be a matter of time before the rebellion of the King of Han was put to restoration. It would be beneficial to the people of the world if the minister returned to the officialdom. I remember Luo Moniang once said that the reason why there is still starvation in the world is that there is a lack of extremely talented and virtuous officials to govern the various places. I have doubts about this view, but I still think it makes sense.I believe that it is always a good thing for Minister Yu to be an official.

Yu Qian was slightly moved after hearing this. After all, others were praising him, and it seemed sincere. Even a person who was as calm as Yu Qian also liked to hear such praises.

He opened his mouth, perhaps saying a kind word casually, but after a moment of pause, he said: So, I really look forward to Ping An’s defeat as soon as possible.

Zhang Ning was not angry either and smiled and said: Didn’t Tingyi always look forward to it?
