Anti Qing

Chapter 106 Hesitation
After Li Zijing finished speaking, he felt a little nervous.

It's not the kind of nervousness that stands out in front of others. After leading the army for a long time, Li Zijing is no longer what he used to be, and he can keep his face under the gaze of everyone.

The current tension is due to the tension of presiding over a large-scale military meeting for the first time.

After all, the results of this military meeting will directly radiate to the entire Huguang Shun and the Ming army's offensive and defensive battles. If the judgment is wrong, it will have a major impact on the entire Huguang.

Li Zijing was actually beating the drums in his heart, after all, it was the first time he had fought against someone like Gao Doushu who had left his name in the history books.

You must know that these people who can leave a mark in the history books seem to be light and indifferent, but in fact they are all outstanding people.

Gao Doushu even wrote a separate biography in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to illustrate this person's ability. Li Zijing was still apprehensive about fighting him.

This time, after all, is different from playing Duoduo in Tongguan.

To be honest, Duoduo lost in the Tongguan battle very unjustly. Li Zijing was a traverser, so it can be said that he took advantage of the right time and place.

In that battle, Li Zijing not only knew exactly when Dodo's reinforcements would arrive at Tongguan, but also where Dodo's troops were stationed and roughly how many real troops there were.

Under such circumstances, it was only at the last minute that Duoduo narrowly defeated.

On the Tongguan battlefield, Li Zijing, who had taken advantage of the right time and place, was almost overturned by Duoduo more than once.

If at that time, Li Zijing commanded the soldiers and horses to fight Duoduo, Li Zijing knew very well in his heart that he was not Duduo's opponent, and he would definitely lose.

The Yunyang battle with Gao Doushu was the first time that Li Zijing coordinated the battle situation and commanded various troops after he left Li Zicheng.

Don't panic, that's simply impossible.

After all, fighting is not a child's play. If the judgment is really wrong, all the soldiers and horses will collapse, and Jingzhou Mansion will fall.

Then Li Zijing in Xiangyang ended up in the same ending as in history, which is a matter of time, and history will not be rewritten.

But panic is panic, Li Zijing has also lived in such a troubled world for so long, and understands a truth, that is to support the bold and starve to death the timid.

The more this is the case, the more we must be careful and bold at the same time.

If you are timid, hear the enemy's movements, and only choose to play conservatively in the tortoise city, you can only die slowly.

Throughout history, there is not a single general who has left his name in history. It is this style of running when he sees people and defending when he encounters a battle that becomes famous.

Without exception, these people who use soldiers like gods have all judged the enemy's situation through careful thinking and various aspects such as the terrain, and then made countermeasures, which were accomplished overnight.

In troubled times, if you are timid, you will not be able to accomplish great things.

Liu Tichun's thoughts tended to be conservative, after all, he knew the situation of Dashun in Huguang area, so he couldn't tolerate any mistakes.

At this time, it is a bit daring to take the initiative to attack Ma Jinzhong.

He looked at Li Zijing with firm eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"King Xiao Chuang's subordinates have just reached [-], even if they are all sent out, what impact will it have on the battle situation in Jingzhou Mansion?"

"I think it's better to just shrink the troops, no matter what Gao Doushu's thoughts are, the soldiers will block the water and cover them with earth!"

"Keeping Xiangyang is the top priority!"

Li Zijing stared slightly, but he also understood his stubborn thinking, responding to all changes with the same, after all, this is the way most people like to take.

After Liu Tichun finished speaking, he didn't listen to Li Zijing's reply, and immediately said again.

"Of course, after all, King Chuang is ordered to control the soldiers and horses of the East Road, and the general will follow King Chuang's instructions on how to act."

"If you need the assistance of General Bai Wang from Zhangde Mansion, the last general will definitely bring his words to you. No matter what, my soldiers and horses in Dashun on the East Road will all be at the disposal of King Xiao Chuang!"

In fact, Li Zijing was not angry just now, but was thinking about the problem from Liu Tichun's perspective.

This is also a habit brought about by later generations. When Li Zijing was in later generations, his family was very strict in discipline. His parents asked him to respect teachers and pay attention to education, and the school required him to learn from others.

It was this kind of strict education that caused Li Zijing's habit of thinking about problems from the other side's point of view.

It's just that since time travel, Li Zijing's originally well-behaved, honest and obedient child character is gradually changing.

Hearing Liu Tichun's words, Li Zijing couldn't understand his thoughts.

"With General Liu's words, I feel relieved."

"In the end how to dispatch, we still need to listen to the information. Besides, Jingzhou Prefecture and Xiangyang Prefecture have a bitter relationship. Especially now, we need to keep in close contact with the local Meng Defense Envoy."

Everyone nodded, and went back to dispatch according to the plan. First, they used Liu Tichun's more conservative method to shrink the surrounding troops and show an attitude of sticking to Xiangyang.

Although Li Zijing had an idea, but because he was commanding troops and horses for the first time, he was inexperienced, he was muttering in his heart, and his attitude was not firm.

After being persuaded by Liu Tichun, Li Zijing also decided to wait and see.

During this period, I plan to implement Liu Tichun's opinion first, and make a posture of sticking to Xiangyang.

Of course, Li Zijing was still hesitating in his heart, whether to send a partial division to raid Ma Jinzhong's troops in Jingzhou.

Therefore, Hao Yaoqi was specially ordered to transfer some sentry riders away, and continue to observe the movements of Yunyang Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion, so as to make changes at any time.

At the same time, a fast horse galloped out from Xiangyang Mansion, jumped on the horse and raised its whip, and drove the horse straight to Zhangde Mansion.

The main force of the Dashun Army East Road in Zhangde Mansion, it's time to know the news that Huguang has a new general.

Jingzhou Prefecture.

Ma Jinzhong, who is stationed here, is having a hard time recently.

He knew he couldn't defeat Jingzhou, so he didn't want to be here anymore, and he had been asking Zuo Liangyu to withdraw for several days.

However, news came back from Wuchang a few days ago that Zuo Liangyu had accepted Gao Doushu's invitation to join forces and issued a military order to him, asking him to cooperate with Yunyang Wang Guang'en's department to take Jingzhou within a certain period of time.

When the news came, Ma Jinzhong exploded with rage.

"Humph!"

In the tent of the Chinese army, Ma Jinzhong stared with big eyes like copper bells, wearing the iron armor of the generals of the Ming army, and the basalt helmet was placed on the table.

The whole person looked extremely angry.

"Why didn't Zuo Liangyu bring his own soldiers, but let me attack. I have been besieged in Jingzhou Mansion for several months. Will I be able to defeat him sooner?"

Ma Jinzhong was very distressed. He was ordered to besiege Jingzhou Mansion for several months, but due to the tight defense of Jingzhou in Dashun, Meng Changgeng made no progress.

For the [-] troops under his command, Wuchang had already cut off the source of salary and food, and had always been taking food locally.

Now in Jingzhou Mansion, except for the Dashun occupied area, the rest of the place has been looted by the Ming army.

Ma Jinzhong's army was about to run out of food, so he asked Wuchang for orders a few days ago, wanting to return to repair, let the soldiers eat their stomachs, rest for a while and then return to continue the siege.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was not an order to withdraw, but Zuo Liangyu's sharp words, ordering him to take down the military order of Jingzhou Mansion within a certain period of time.

When Ma Jinzhong first arrived in Jingzhou, he also tried to attack, but Dashun Jingzhou's defense envoy Meng Changgeng was not insignificant. He never got any advantages, so he chose to besiege rather than attack.

On the other hand, he also received news last month that Dashun had sent reinforcements from Guanzhong to Xiangyang, so he decided to withdraw to Wuchang.

Ma Jinzhong, like Wang Guangen, the chief general of the Yunyang Ming Army, was once one of the 36 families of the rebel army.

Since then, he has been under Zuo Liangyu's command and has made many military exploits.

Say what you say, scold what you scold, you have to do the work that should be done.

Ma Jinzhong scolded a lot, and he was addicted to his mouth, but he didn't intend to disobey the military order. Then he changed the subject and looked at the generals beside him.

"Tell the brothers to build ladders and shield vehicles to prepare for the storming of Jingzhou, and ask clearly when Wang Guangen will arrive!"

"At that time, if I have a bloody battle under the city of Jingzhou and he is late, I will definitely fight to Yunyang and skin him!"

Ma Jinzhong's current situation is really embarrassing. He knows that attacking Jingzhou by himself will be the result of both sides' losses.

But he had to fight this battle because of the reinforcements that Yunyang didn't know if he could come.
