Daming: From the end of Hongwu

386 Chapter 384 - Zhang Fu's Admiration

The army marched all the way, and when they entered Annan, the first thing Zhen Wu and the others had to face was Ailiu Pass. This pass was quite dangerous, and it was the only way for them to advance, so it had to be broken down.

And because this will be the first battle, Zhen Wu attaches great importance to it, calling all the generals to make the last battle plan.

In fact, in the face of such a pass, there is nothing to discuss.

It's just a hard attack.

Zhen Wu also believed that this test would definitely not be able to stop his Daming Iron Army.

But what Zhen Wu wants is not just a simple breakthrough.

When everyone arrived, Zhen Wu tapped the Ailiu Pass on the map and said: "Tomorrow we can go to Ailiu Pass, and this will be our first battle. Speaking of this first battle, the most interesting Head, just like what His Majesty said to me before, he said that the first battle between the two armies is like dealing with two people. When you meet someone for the first time, you think this person is very powerful, and you will inevitably get along with him later. Affected by this impression, you will think that this person is very powerful even on the day you die, and vice versa. If you meet someone for the first time and think that he is a coward, then he will want to change your heart in the future. This impression is extremely difficult, and in this process, you will never be afraid of him, but whenever you have the opportunity to bully him, you will bully him without any pressure in your heart."

Listening to Zhen Wu's rambling, all the generals couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

They all have a good life experience, they are deeply convinced of this, and they also understand that many people will be affected by the magnetic field of this initial impression, just like people who are recognized as powerful, they tend to be more confident and start things It will be more handy in this confident state of mind.

And those people who have been ridiculed by others all the year round seem to be really bad luck, and they are getting more and more depressed in that negative energy magnetic field.

Zhen Wu continued at this time: "So, in this first battle, not only must we break through the Ailiu Pass in one go, but we must also display my Da Ming's aura and the image of my Da Ming soldiers who are not afraid of death. I will use this battle In the hearts of all the soldiers in Annan, an impression is deeply rooted, that is, my Ming soldiers are fierce and good at fighting, and they are as invincible as a monstrous fire. I even want everyone in Annan to understand that Da Ming is brave and brave. Invincible in the world, after this impression is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, we will confront Annan in the future, and I am sure that no matter how many troops Annan has, he will be defeated immediately."

After all the generals thought of this situation, they all panted heavily, the glory of a soldier is nothing more than this.

Zhen Wu smiled slightly, then withdrew his smile, his face darkened, and said in a deep voice: "However, this impression cannot be left for no reason, it needs to be fought, especially the first battle is the most important." Wu Zai scanned the generals one by one, and asked calmly: "Then, who is going to win the Pass and Liu Pass for me, and show me the style of a Ming soldier in the first battle?"

All the generals suddenly buzzed and started to ask for a fight.

Zhen Wu listened, his eyes fell on Tan Yuan's son Tan Zhong.

Tan Zhong laughed grimly, stepped forward and said: "General, when it comes to fighting tough battles and iron-blooded winds, who can compare with our people from the right army? The general is the one who understands the Right Guards background, and I ask the general to entrust this task to the humble officer, the humble officer will definitely take down the pass in one day, and the defenders of the pass will have nightmares every night!"

Zhang Fu frowned slightly, and glanced at Tan Zhong displeased.

But Zhu Rong has a violent temper, so he couldn't help it immediately, slapped the table with a bang and shouted: "Tan Zhong, what do you mean? Because the general is your old officer, is it friendship? You are from the right army. If you can fight, don’t those of us who are from the Chinese army not be able to fight?”

Zhu Rong used to be a hundred households in a guard station in Shandong. During the Jingnan, he surrendered Zhu Di and was incorporated into the Chinese army. Later, he made many military exploits. He is the governor of the central government.

He is one of Zhang Yu's men who is more capable of fighting. This time, Zhen Wu will not let him go to Annan, and he will be directly selected as one of the generals of the Southern Expedition.

"I don't mean to belittle you, but the facts are in front of you. Which tough battle during the Jingnan period was not fought by us, and which big showdown was not defeated by us first. You can go to my office and ask, who dares to say that you are afraid of death? Let me leave a word today, let alone a small pass, even if it is a big red-hot soldering iron, we dare to swallow it in one gulp, and give it to you, can you do it?" Tan Zhong inherited his father That kind of stupefied energy not only dares to fight and rush, but also speaks directly.

Zhu Rong's face turned red when he was told: "Is it okay? I'll let you see if it's okay this time." After finishing speaking, Zhu Rong shouted at Zhen Wu with a thick neck: "General, why don't you give up?" Please entrust this task to the humble official, the humble official will definitely take the pass within half a day, but if the time limit is exceeded, the general can take the head of the humble official."

Tan Zhong also stared his eyes angrily: "It seems that you are going to fight me today? Well, take a long time, I will take the pass and stay in the pass within two hours, and I dare to use this head as a guarantee .”

While talking, Tan Zhong patted himself on the head.

How could Zhu Rong be convinced, and immediately took up the conversation again.

And the generals of the two of them, seeing the chief quarreling, immediately stood up to support their own chief.

In the tent, the noisy atmosphere suddenly became more intense.

Zhen Wu frowned and knocked on the table: "Why are you arguing, what's there to be arguing about."

Shouted by Zhen Wu.

Both Tan Zhong and Zhu Rong were honest, but after they looked at each other, they knelt down on one knee in front of Zhen Wu and said, "Please give me an order, the general, the lowly position must break through the pass and stay behind."

After finishing speaking, both of them seemed to be surprised that the other's actions were consistent with their own, and they looked at each other again, their eyes revealing the brilliance of what they must win.

The other generals present, seeing the fierce battle between Tan Zhong and Zhu Rong, did not add to the chaos, they all looked at Zhen Wu for a while, not knowing what choice Zhen Wu would make.

Zhen Wu first set his sights on Tan Zhong, and Zhu Rong's heart sank slightly. Tan Zhong was not only Zhen Wu's old subordinate, but also Zhen Wu's sister-in-law, which he couldn't compare.

But before Tan Zhong was happy, Zhen Wu's eyes turned to Zhu Rong again.

Zhen Wu thought for a while, then said to Zhu Rongwen gently: "I know that the generals from the Chinese army are also brave men, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu sighed and continued: "Old Zhu, you have been in Guangxi for two years, and most of your subordinates are Guangxi soldiers and horses. If you fight the first battle, will you..."

Zhen Wu didn't say what happened next, but the suspicion in it was self-evident.

In the presence, Zhu Rong's subordinate generals, as well as other Guangxi military generals, suddenly became anxious, and stood up one by one and said loudly: "What does the general mean by this? What happened to my Guangxi soldiers? If others can defeat them, we will also fight them." Yes, is it possible that the general still has prejudice in his heart?"

"That's not what it means, don't get me wrong."

Zhen Wu explained with a smile: "Actually, in my heart, I am more inclined to leave it to you to fight and stay. But for your sake, I also want to ask you what kind of support or conditions you need. After all, the first battle is very important. If you have what an accident..."

"General."

Regardless of the rules, Zhu Rong interrupted Zhen Wu's words directly and loudly: "You can leave this battle to the humble official, and the humble official guarantees that there will be no accidents."

"Are you sure you don't need support? There are no conditions?" Zhen Wu asked in a deep voice.

"No need!" Zhu Ronghou blushed and his neck was thick.

He made up his mind to let other ministries see the bravery of his subordinates in this battle.

"This is what you said."

Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Rong and said heavily: "Since this is the case, then I will leave it to you to fight. I don't need you to take the pass for me for a long time. I will give you a day, but if you can't take the pass in one day Guan, what should you do?"

"The humble official will take the pass and stay in the pass in one day, otherwise, the humble official will raise his head to see the general." Zhu Rong roared.

"it is good."

Zhen Wu then shouted: "Cheng Kuan."

"I'm humble."

"Lead all the soldiers in your department bravely, hold firearms and cannons, and temporarily listen to Zhu Rong's orders."

"Impossible to take orders."

"Tan Zhong." Zhen Wu shouted again in a deep voice.

"I'm humble."

"You lead your department to be the second echelon. If Zhu Rong's offensive is exhausted and can't bear to fight again, you can go up to Laozi. If you are behind Zhu Rong's department, you can't take the pass for a long time. I want your head."

"Impossible to take orders."

When Zhu Rong heard that Zhen Wu also asked Tan Zhong to be his second echelon, he immediately wanted to argue with Zhen Wu again, showing that he didn't need the second echelon, and would break through the pass and stay behind.

But before he could speak, Zhang Fu interrupted him first: "Zhu Rong, since the general entrusted you with this task, you should cherish it. If you have nothing to do, go down and discuss how to break it tomorrow." Shut it up, I can tell you, the general and I will look at you tomorrow, hope you don’t let us down.”

Zhu Rong was interrupted by Zhang Fu's words, and his face turned red, but he also knew that Zhang Fu was doing it for his own good, so he didn't say anything more in the end, but after bidding farewell to Zhen Wu, he took his subordinates down to discuss how to break the law. closed.

All of them had just left Zhen Wu's tent, and before they got on their horses, Zhu Rong couldn't help but said to his subordinates: "You have also seen the situation this time, let me tell you, who will give me this time?" If I lose the chain, I will kill whoever, his grandma, all the allies are watching, if you want to feel proud, use this trick to prove the strength of our Guangxi soldiers and horses."

"Don't worry, general. After we go back, we will talk to the people below. Since this first achievement has fallen into our hands, we must not let others take advantage of it."

"Yes, general, don't worry, when I attack the pass tomorrow, I will guarantee that everyone under my command will not fear death."

These people spoke one by one, as if they were all holding their breath, and they were about to make a ground-breaking first effort.

……

At this time, in Zhen Wu's tent, Zhen Wu was still making some follow-up arrangements, and when the arrangements were made, he asked the generals to go down and prepare separately.

Zhen Wu watched the generals retreat one by one, and finally found that Zhang Fu hadn't left.

He looked at Zhang Fu suspiciously.

Zhang Fu struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "General, this aggressive general, I think everyone will be brave in attacking the pass tomorrow, but if the defenders in the pass stay at the pass, we may suffer a lot of casualties. You see Shall we think of other ways..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhen Wu was slightly taken aback, and then Zhen Wu smiled and said: "I have heard my youngest say that you are smart, and I admire you every time I mention it. Now it seems that it is true. It seems that I Calling you here is really a wise choice."

"The general praised it."

Zhang Fu seemed a little embarrassed by Zhen Wu's praise: "San Yong is brave in battle, and I also admire him a lot. Speaking of which, in the battlefield, San Yong has helped me many times. As for... the general is a role model in the army. , who is not obsessed with the style of the general, it is Zhang Fu's luck to have the opportunity to go out with the general."

Zhen Wu smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, don't praise me, besides, you and my third child are like brothers, we are not outsiders, so don't be so polite."

Zhang Fu looked a little anxious and said: "General, Zhang Fu is not being polite, just today's general's aggressiveness will benefit Zhang Fu a lot."

"Okay, okay, but let's not talk about this for now, let's get back to business, what do you think about Ai Liuguan?" Zhen Wu asked.

Zhang Fu thought for a while and said: "Tackling a key point is no less than attacking a city, and in a battle of siege, attacking the heart is the most important thing."

Zhen Wu glanced at Zhang Fu appreciatively, and then said, "That's right, it's true in the Art of War, but have you ever thought that we don't have time to play with them slowly, if we let a small pass Staying in the pass and stopping our army for a long time will have a fatal blow to our momentum, so this pass is most suitable for a lightning attack."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder, and said with a smile in his eyes: "But your idea is right, casualties must also be taken into account in a hard attack, and it is not a wise strategy to just blindly attack." Then, Zhen Wu turned to look at Cheng Liang and asked, "Have the monkeys come back?"

Cheng Liang shook his head and said, "Not yet, but according to the time, it should be back soon."

Listening to the conversation between Zhen Wu and Cheng Liang, Zhang Fu was puzzled.

He asked, "Has the general made any other arrangements?"

Zhen Wu nodded, then got up, motioned Zhang Fu to come to the sand table with him, Zhen Wu pointed to the pass in the sand table and said: "The mountains on both sides of this pass are high, and after the gate is closed, it is difficult for pedestrians to enter, but it does not mean anything. I can’t send it in.” Then, Zhen Wu looked up at Zhang Fu and asked, “Do you still remember Pei Boqi?”

Zhang Fu nodded.

When Zhen Wu left Pei Boqi behind, there was a big discussion in Beijing, he naturally knew it, and now he followed Zhen Wu to conquer Annan, he naturally also knew the great role of Pei Boqi.

Zhen Wu said: "When I was on the road before, I asked Pei Boqi to list twenty evidences of Hu's father and son devouring the lord, usurping the throne, cheating, cruelty, etc. It was engraved on the wooden board, how many were engraved in total, I can't count, but I think it has flowed into the pass along the water flow on the high mountains on both sides of the pass, and the defenders in the pass know these contents Finally, when we attack the pass tomorrow, we will definitely lose a lot of fighting spirit of the defenders."

There are dangerous mountains and cliffs on both sides, and people can't go down at all, and they can't get through, but the water can carry the small planks over.

Zhang Fu was startled.

He didn't know that Zhen Wu had made so many preparations secretly, and he was even more confident about tackling key problems.

Attack the city, attack the heart.

Thinking of what he reminded Zhen Wu just now, Zhang Fu couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and thought to himself: I was secretly worried before, if the general didn't consider this, how could he have achieved such a reputation these years?

Then Zhang Fu thought about Zhen Wu's arrangement today, first attacking the mind, disintegrating the opponent's fighting spirit, and then stimulating the generals, arousing the heart of the subordinates to fight to the death.

Zhang Fu couldn't help feeling even more respectful in his heart.

A generation of famous generals, well-deserved reputation.

And living in an era with such a person, I don't know whether to be sad or happy.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhang Fu's face turning blue and red, roughly guessing Zhang Fu's thoughts, he patted Zhang Fu's shoulder and said: "Don't be surprised by these small tricks, if you are in the handsome position, you can do it, It's even better than what I did. Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of your pride. I trust your ability more than you imagined. In addition, your father must have told you that I want to keep you for a long time after this battle Zhen Annan, so in this battle, I will let you do as much as possible, and boldly bloom as much light as you have."

Zhen Wu paused, then continued: "This is an opportunity for you. I hope that this place will achieve your prestige as a famous general, Zhang Fu. When you stay in Annan for a long time in the future, it can make Annan no longer turbulent."

Zhang Fu took a deep breath. Feeling Zhen Wu's high hopes, he bowed deeply to Zhen Wu again and said, "Zhang Fu will definitely live up to the great general's high hopes."

Zhen Wu smiled and nodded.

On the Annan issue, teaching the Annan killer somewhat made Zhen Wu feel a little weird, but with his current qualifications, he was indeed qualified to teach.

And he more or less hopes that Zhang Fu can perform better and more vigorously than in history.

"Okay, let me go to the military supply department. Anando is full of miasma. There must be no mistakes in the necessary medicinal materials, or it may affect the entire army." Zhen Wu said, and walked outside.

Looking at Zhen Wu's background, Zhang Fu seemed to feel a light.

He smiled and followed quickly.

It is not the luck of the subordinates to have such a thoughtful general who is willing to teach his subordinates, and who is also broad-minded and willing to support his subordinates.
