Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167 Discuss on Encirclement and Annihilation of the Left Army

Yuan Jixian understands why Liu Zhaoji, as a veteran of Liaodong, can only be a deputy commander-in-chief up to now.

He had to admit that Liu Zhaoji was indeed a little arrogant, completely ignorant of the ways of the world, and it was fine to be disrespectful to himself. Even Jingnanhou, who brought Huang Degong as a dignified man, dared to call someone to come here instead of going to discuss by himself.

If it weren't for the current national crisis and the urgent need to employ people, there is no distinction between civil and military, so Liu Zhaoji might not be able to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Guards.

Although he was somewhat concerned about Liu Zhaoji's vulgarity and unkempt appearance, Yuan Jixian didn't mean to care about it, and it was indeed a very important moment, and he could only follow the rules.

Yuan Jixian personally wrote a letter inviting Huang Degong from Jiujiang to come to Anqing.

Huang Degong was not proud of himself because he was a Marquis. He wanted to put on the airs of a Marquis. Seeing the invitation from Governor Yuan Jixian and the invitation from His Majesty's Deputy Commander Liu Zhaoji, he rushed here overnight.

When he saw Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji was also generous, and waved to Huang Degong:

"I was supposed to come to Lord Hou to listen to the order in person, but Liu was ordered by the emperor, and the battle was urgent, and most of the left army was gathered in Anqing Mansion, so I had to invite Lord Hou to come in person. If there is any blasphemy, please let me know Forgive me, Lord Hou!"

Yuan Jixian couldn't help but secretly smiled, thinking that this Liu Zhaoji wasn't ignorant of the rules, and he actually blamed him by mistake.

"You and I are both leaders of the army, why bother with such vain courtesy, why don't you be a prince, it will only be a year or two for Liu Zongbing to be a prince in the future!"

As Huang Degong said, he also cupped his hands at Yuan Jixian: "That guy Zuo Liangyu bullied Yuan Gong as a scholar. He spends all his time looking for trouble with you these days, but he doesn't know that Yuan Gong is an all-rounder who can manage the army when he is on horseback and calm the people when he is off his horse. He is not an ordinary scholar, Zuo Liangyu deserves to be ashamed, now that General Liu is leading an army to help him, even if Zuo Liangyu does not die of illness, he must be executed!"

When Huang Degong said this, everyone present laughed.

Yuan Jixian couldn't help waving his hands: "Jingnan Hou is absurd, what can Yuan Mou do? If it wasn't for Jingnan Hou who let the Zuo army shut the door at the foot of Jiujiang City and suffered another big defeat, even if I, a scholar Yuan Even with Marquis Wu's ability, he can't stop hundreds of thousands of left troops."

"Sirs, you don't need to boast, it's not too late to be humble after you get the head of the traitor Zuo Liangyu!"

At this time, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Shen Lian walked in with a smile, holding a yellow book in his hand. Of course, if it wasn't because of the imperial decree, even Jin Yiwei Qianhu would not be able to enter the military forbidden area where the governor-general ranks.

Huang Degong and others crawled down when they saw the imperial decree.

"After Liu Zhaoji arrived, Huang Degong was the commander-in-chief, and he led all the troops in Huguang and Jiangxi to launch the final attack on Zuo Liangyu's troops. Liu Zhaoji was the vanguard and took on the main offensive task. , but from the day of the decisive battle, all the left troops who have not surrendered will be wiped out, and no one will be let go!"

As Shen Lian spoke, he handed the imperial decree to Huang Degong: "Your Majesty only gave Liu Zhaoji an oral order, and what you gave me was an explicit decree. In addition, Your Majesty made it clear, please rest assured that the Marquis of Jingnan and Duke Yuan, after the suppression of Zuo Ni, the former Majesty promised It is still valid, as long as Zuo Liangyu's head is obtained, those who deserve to be named Duke, and those who deserve to be named Sangong, will still be generously rewarded! But now I hope that everyone will work together to give Zuo Ni the last chance! One knife!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will definitely do it!"

Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian originally thought that after the imperial court changed the strategy of blocking Zuo Liangyu's tribe to the strategy of destroying Zuo Liangyu's tribe, they would no longer fulfill the promise of rewards in the past.

But the two did not expect that His Majesty Zhu Youjian directly stated that the promise was still valid.

The two were naturally overjoyed, and their enthusiasm for exterminating Zuo Liangyu naturally increased a lot. Yuan Jixian completely let go of Liu Zhaoji's initial disrespect for him as a civil servant, and he didn't even mind being commanded by a military officer.

The three hurriedly unfolded the map and began to discuss how to better wipe out Zuo Liangyu's troops.

"Now Zuo Liangyu's department also has Jin Shenghuan's department, Luo Dai's department, Daoxingcheng department, Zhang Yuanliang's department, and Zuo Liangyu Zuo Menggeng's own soldiers, totaling more than 15 troops, including about 1 infantry and cavalry. There are about 27, the total number of firearms and artillery is 15, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers; while our army now has a total of about [-], and Jingnanhou's Seventh Guards Army has [-]. With [-] troops, plus the [-] brought by General Liu, the strength of the two sides is equal, but the First Corps of General Liu's Guards is a new force, and whether Zuo Ni can be wiped out depends on whether General Liu's men can defeat Zuo Liang Jade soldiers!"

Yuan Jixian continued: "The [-] soldiers led by Zuo Liangyu are veterans who have followed him for many years. Many of them fought against the Tartars in Liaodong, and also fought against Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues for many years. When he attacked Jiujiang and Anqing, he hadn't used all his soldiers yet, and he kept his strength. As long as Liu Zongbing defeated his soldiers, the remaining officers and Huang Degong would surround him on all sides, and he would not worry about not being able to wipe out Zuo Liangyu's troops! "

"Please rest assured, the two superiors. The subordinates and the First Corps of the Guards Army are known as strong troops, but they have never had a chance to prove their strength in actual combat. Now it is a good time to test their skills!"

After Liu Zhaoji spoke, he asked Huang Degong to give an order.

But Huang Degong did not rush to give orders, but asked Yuan Jixian: "Except for Zuo Liangyu's own army, how are the other generals under Zuo Liangyu's command? The first part of the army launched an encirclement, and Liu Zongbing's troops attacked Zuo Liangyu's own army, but there were still two left troops, but it was difficult to mobilize troops for a while to encircle the encirclement. Maybe it can be better, so that we can truly spread the net on all sides!"

"The lower official has the guts to interject. According to the report of our Jinyiwei's informant in Zuo Ni, it seems that Jin Shenghuan, Zuo Liangyu, has a lot of complaints about his strategy of attacking Jiujiang and then Anqing, and Zuo Liangyu always let him be the vanguard. His subordinates and himself are even more dissatisfied with Zuo Liangyu now, and this person also has an aversion to Cong Nisheng. Zeng Du obeyed Yang Sichang's command, and even used to be a subordinate, Yuan Gong can work hard on this person!"

Shen Lian said so.

Yuan Jixian laughed: "You Jinyiwei are not only good at making big cases, murdering and arson to spread the imperial decree, but also have the advantage of inquiring about the enemy's news. The information is also very well-informed. To be honest, this person sent someone to look for me, but I did not dare to agree. I have already sent someone to deliver a secret report to the capital for His Majesty to judge. After all, Jin Shenghuan is a general against the Left, whether he can be appeased or not Yuan didn't dare to make a claim, but now, in order to completely annihilate Zuo Ni, he will not accept the order of the foreign emperor, so he can only wait for His Majesty's reply, and I will write a letter to Jin Shenghuan. If the time comes, Your Majesty Blame it on someone like Yuan, but I ask you Jin Yiwei to forward this letter on your behalf."
