Chapter 679 Do you remember the matter of Salhu?

Facing Zhang Ruoqi's inquiry, Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry to express his attitude, but slowly scanned the officials and generals in the hall.

Seeing him acting like this, Zhang Cheng secretly cursed in his heart: "Old fox, don't use me as a gun again!"

For this reason, he changed his strategy and began to talk enthusiastically with Meng Dao and Zuo Guangxian. Zuo Guangxian was eager to make meritorious service and redeem himself, but such a military discussion was not the place for him to speak indiscriminately.

Zhang Cheng and the two of them talked more about the local conditions and customs in the Liaodong area, and some love affairs, topics common to men, they chatted more and more vigorously, especially Zuo Guang was eager to drag Zhang Cheng to "test the gun" on the spot. ".

Compare which one is the "Unbeatable Overlord Gun"!
Zhang Cheng had an evil smile on his face, and said, "I'm ferocious, maybe I'm afraid of you being old and shameless!"

When the three of them were laughing, Hong Chengchou asked, "What did Qiu Futai say?"

Qiu Minyang is also a member of the "Prudence faction". Like Hong Chengchou, he advocates "Primity is the main thing". Now that Governor Hong asked him, he naturally wanted to support him, so he stroked his beard and said: "The strategy of our soldiers to divide the attack, It is not advisable.

It's just that the division of troops is weak. After joint training, we know that the reinforcements in each town are strong. If they attack separately, it will be difficult to fight the slaves together. It is indeed difficult to choose between division and cooperation. "

What he said was very cunning. Although he did not directly express his opposition to the idea of ​​splitting the army, he also clearly pointed out the disadvantages of splitting the army, but in fact he still opposed it.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Zhang Dou, the soldier of the army, answered, "It's better to attack separately than to attack together. I believe that we should do it cautiously. Combine the strength of all the troops to force Songshan and garrison Xingshan to guard the grain road. It is the best policy to wait for the opportunity to fight and think of a breakthrough."

Zhang Ruoqi was already patient with Fuchen Qiu Minyang, seeing that Zhang Dou was saying the same thing at this time, and even more bluntly speaking against the strategy of splitting the army, how could he bear it.

"Humph!"

He snorted heavily, and said: "It's nonsense. I don't know soldiers better than you. You say that it is necessary to be cautious, but you are actually afraid of slaves and cowardly fighting. You simply ignore the king's kindness."

Zhang Dou originally wanted to be worried about the war, and worried that Hong Chengchou would not be able to withstand the pressure. If he really split his troops into the army, it would definitely be the end of another Sarsh battle, so he spoke to dissuade him, and his intention was to make it easier for Hong Chengchou to oppose the strategy of splitting his troops .

But Zhang Ruoqi only said a few words, and immediately put it on the line, accusing him of fearing slaves and cowardly fighting, and doing things that disregarded the king's favor, and he didn't say anything to refute.

Zhang Dou was so provoked that he couldn't contain his anger. He stood up and shouted angrily: "Mr. Zhang is here to supervise the army. It is important to check military discipline. As for splitting up, or joining forces to slow down the battle, all the supervisors marched in formation." Combat is all military, and it should be decided by the governor."

He didn't seem to let go of his hatred, and continued: "It's a four-way attack again. In the Wanli year, Yang Jinglue also made a four-way attack strategy. Do you remember the matter of Sarhu?"

The rest of the officials and generals also spoke out one after another at this time, and almost all of them overwhelmingly agreed with the joint attack.

Zhang Ruoqi was ordered to supervise the army, even Governor Hong Chengchou of Jiliao gave him three points of courtesy, even Governor Qiu Minyang of Liaodong might not dare to argue with him face to face, how could he be willing to be humiliated by a mere soldier.

"Crack!" sound.

Zhang Ruoqi slapped the table suddenly, stood up, and was about to angrily reprimand Zhang Dou for his rude words, and the generals for being too timid to fight.

"All right."

Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, yelled loudly in a deep voice, and stopped Zhang Ruoqi in time, lest he utter bad words again and hurt the morale of the troops in Zhuzhen. Hong Chengchou, let's see what he says.

There was a complete silence in the hall, and even Zhang Cheng was watching Hong Chengchou to see how he would express his stance.

"Advancing separately and attacking together, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is really difficult to choose for a while."

Hong Chengchou spoke slowly, neither side could be offended by what he said, but he said again: "Chen Benbing's strategy of attacking from all directions is indeed a strategizing strategy, a decisive strategy for winning thousands of miles.

It's just that the division of the army is weak, although the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it is difficult to attack with all its strength, and the division of the army into four routes makes it difficult to transport food and fodder. The words of seeking the country. "

He paused at this point before continuing: "Since today's military discussion failed to make a decision on the division and joint attack, the governor will report our concerns to the imperial court before making a decision."

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng sighed secretly in his heart: "Jiang, it really is old and hot. What a plan to go down the slope!"

He saw everything in his eyes, Hong Chengchou did not answer the questioning of the supervisor Zhang Ruoqi, but secretly indulged the officials and generals to discuss wantonly, and even cleverly ended the military discussion through the dispute between Zhang Dou and Zhang Ruoqi.

In this way, the strategy of advancing troops was reported to the imperial court for a decision. In this way, Zhang Ruoqi, Ma Shaoyu and others were naturally powerless to refute, and they reported to the imperial court, and after the decision was made, they sent a message back to Ningyuan. .

…………

After the military discussion dissipated, Wu Sangui strongly invited Zhang Cheng and Chen Jiugao to come over to the house, but Zhang Cheng couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

"I said good brother, how did you pry open the mouth of that Tartar leader?"

After drinking a few glasses of warm wine, Chen Jiugao asked out his curiosity.

Zhang Cheng smiled charmingly, and asked back, "Brother Chen wants to know?"

Chen Jiugao had an undisguised curiosity on his face, and said with a big face: "I'm really curious, all these damn tartars are ferocious, many town commanders have caught them, but they can't pry open that broken mouth, why are they here? Is it so easy in your hands?"

As soon as he said this, even Wu Sangui became interested, and he moved a little closer, as if he was afraid that he might miss something.

Zhang Cheng picked up his wine glass and said softly to the two of them: "My little brother has a strange person under his command, who is good at acupuncture!"

Wu Sangui and Chen Jiugao didn't understand what they heard, so they looked at each other and shook their heads at each other. It was Chen Jiugao who spoke quickly and asked in a hurry: "What does prying open the mouth of the tartar have to do with good acupuncture? Could it be returned?" Tartar can't embroider?"

As soon as he said this, Wu Sangui, who didn't know why at first, seemed to have realized something, as if he was lost in thought, and suddenly said: "The needle method that Zhongchen talked about is not embroidery needles."

Zhang Cheng secretly admired him, no wonder everyone said that Wu Sangui is the leader of Liao Town, the future hope of Liaodong is indeed shrewd and quick-witted, he is able to understand a little bit of trouble, and besides being good at training and fighting, he is also good at communication. As good as a brother.

Zhang Cheng didn't continue to be a fool, he drank his wine glass and said: "This man's acupuncture skills are indeed extraordinary. I used to not accept them for a whole night in my camp, so I was good at extorting confessions and torture, which can be said to be the best in the world." military.

It's a shame to meet him! "
