Chapter 30 Intuition
Zhu Gaoxuan's violent interrogation worked very well. Chen Jun's captives spit out all the information. This is crucial information. Based on this information, the Ming army can determine the approximate location of Chen Jun's general Ruan Yuxiong's troops.

After the information was given, the Chen Jun prisoner was of no value. Zhu Gaoyi, as a kind person, gave the Chen Jun prisoner a blissful death.

The information reached the command level, Jiang Yi, the commander of the Ming army who attacked Ruan Yuxiong, had no hesitation, and directly dispatched troops to attack Ruan Yuxiong's main force.The [-] Ming army advanced to the hinterland of the Chen army, and immediately launched a general offensive after finding out the enemy's situation.

……

In the camp of the Pioneer Battalion, someone said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, we searched for all the information. When it comes to the attack, why should we not be the main force in the end, but let the first battalion of warriors be the main force?"

Zhu Gaoyi glanced at the officer, and said calmly: "Because the left deputy general of the first battalion of soldiers is surnamed Jiang."

Liu Pu didn't speak, and also acquiesced to this answer.

The establishment of the Southern Expedition Army was based on the establishment of the fifth battalion of the three major battalions. There were ten battalions. The fourth battalion of chariot soldiers and the fifth battalion of city guards are guerrilla generals.

The commander of the sixth battalion of soldiers is the right deputy general, the seventh battalion of warriors and the eighth battalion of chariot soldiers are the participating generals, the ninth battalion of chariot soldiers and the tenth battalion of city guards are the guerrilla generals.

The supreme commander of the Southern Expedition Army was General Zhenglu, Chief Soldier Officer, and British Duke Zhang Fu, followed by Qian Guogong Mu Sheng, followed by Deputy Chief Soldier Jiang Yi, Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng, guarding officer Ma Qi and others.

In addition to the regular ten battalions, the Southern Expeditionary Army also has some non-conventional establishments.For example, in the vanguard battalion where Zhu Gaoxuan was located, the commander of the army was the vanguard officer Liu Pu.Another example is the cavalry battalion, the commander of the army is concurrently served by the deputy commander Jiang Yi.As well as the Fifth Army Battalion transferred from the capital, it is now also under the command of Shuaiying, and the commander is Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan...

In this crusade against Ruan Yuxiong, a total of four battalions were transferred, the first battalion of warriors, the second battalion of warriors, the third battalion of chariot soldiers, and the vanguard battalion.

Except for the vanguard battalion with a total strength of less than 4000, the remaining three battalions each have a total strength of around [-].

Therefore, the real strength of the Southern Expedition Army is very false. The total strength of the regular tenth battalion plus the remaining fifth army battalion, cavalry battalion, and vanguard battalion is less than 20.However, the slogan Zhu Di shouted before the conquest of Jiaozhi was "80", while the real strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army was "30".

But this is a routine operation, and it is tacit to blow it before sending troops. Blowing 20 to 80 is already very low-key.In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 80, but in fact it was only more than 70 at most.In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei claimed to have an army of 8, but in fact it was only [-] or [-].

The Indian family next door also blew the story of over [-] million casualties in [-] days.

Closer to home, although the strength of the Vanguard Battalion is slightly inferior to the other three battalions, the Vanguard Battalion should be the main force in terms of being elite and good at fighting, as well as the intelligence of Ruan Yuxiong's troops in the early stage of the war.

But in the end, the commander-in-chief attacked Ruan Yuxiong's deputy commander, Jiang Yi, and finally let the first battalion of soldiers serve as the main force, and the vanguard battalion attacked Ruan Yuxiong's left-wing troops.

There is a big difference in this. Those who serve as the main force will get more credit in the end.

But the Pioneer Battalion did so much homework in the early stage, and in the end it was the First Battalion of Zhanbing who really confronted Ruan Yuxiong.

This is not fair, but neither Liu Pu nor Zhu Gaoxuan was surprised, because the left deputy general of Zhanbing [-]st Battalion was named Jiang Li, and he was the nephew of the deputy general Jiang Yi.

As the commander in chief of the crusade against Ruan Yuxiong's deputy commander, Jiang Yi, of course he must give the greatest credit to his own nephew, not the vanguard battalion.

Liu Pu has no objection, after all, Jiang Yi is the commander-in-chief this time, not his father Anyuanhou Liu Sheng.

If Liu Sheng is the commander-in-chief of the crusade, the vanguard battalion will definitely be the main force in the end.

This is not like a general fighting in the army on the battlefield, but a group of businessmen and shopkeepers who are planning to crackle.

It's hard for Zhang Fu, and he can win consecutive battles with such a group of people in Cochin.

"Do your part."

Liu Pu said indifferently to the generals Qian Zong and Ba Siguan in the camp, "Although we are not the main force in this crusade, our enemy should not be underestimated. It is Ruan Yuxiong's left-wing troops."

Then, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxuan, only to find that Prince Qi was sitting on a chair lazily flipping through the cowhide map, punctuating the map with cinnabar.

Liu Pu was quite satisfied in his heart. Compared with the disasters caused by military general Xungui, this prince seemed extraordinarily approachable, that is, intelligent, wise and quiet.

It wasn't until he saw clearly what the other party was outlining with cinnabar on the map that Liu Pu's face became serious.

"My lord, it's okay to mark the scribbles, right?" Zhu Gaoxuan noticed Liu Pu's gaze, and stroked his hair in embarrassment.

He still doesn't realize that besides Ma Qi, the guarding officer, his identity has been discovered by Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng, and Liu Pu.

Zhu Gaoyi just felt that Liu Sheng and Liu Pu were a little strange, but he didn't think in that direction.

"Can I have a look at it?" Liu Pu asked seriously.

"Of course." Zhu Gaoyi handed the map in his hand to the other party.

Liu Pu took the map, stared at the cinnabar mark on the map, his brain was running wildly, and only shock and surprise remained in his heart.

"This, is this what you drew?" Liu Pu looked at Zhu Gaoxuan in disbelief.

One of the generals in the camp asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's the matter, is there something wrong with this picture?"

"The problem is too big!" Liu Pu exclaimed, "This picture is amazing. We only roughly found out the deployment of Ruan Yuxiong's troops, and this picture accurately guessed the strategic defense line of Ruan Yuxiong's troops. Combined with our investigation Based on the information I received, this picture is a stroke of genius!"

Zhu Gaoxuan rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "It's not that magical, it's not serious, it's just a random drawing."

This picture was indeed drawn by him.

Combined with the scout information of the Pioneer Battalion in Chen Jun's forces, Bai Qi and others in Zhu Gaoxuan's brain had already deduced the detailed strategic deployment of Chen Jun, and they almost guessed the color of Ruan Yuxiong's underpants.

For ordinary people, this kind of thing is indeed miraculous, but for top generals, this is not difficult.

It is impossible for a scout to understand all the enemy's situation. An excellent general needs to analyze and guess the precise enemy's deployment based on the enemy's situation surveyed by the scout. This level can only be achieved by relying on rich experience and intuition.

Back then, Huo Qubing directly drove into the desert and swept across the desert. He was simply a human body radar, and he relied on this skill.

The ghost knows which corner of the desert the enemy is hiding in, and how to fight, all depends on intuition.

A true general, from the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, he knew he had won.
