1192 Target Shandong
So he privately urged Li Zicheng to evacuate here. However, Li Zicheng was really angry because of Liu Pei's actions these days, and he was desperately thinking about deciding to decide the outcome with Liu Pei! Perhaps Li Zicheng already had some premonition that Liu Pei was the biggest enemy in his life!
That night, Liu Pei was slowly drinking a cup of tea in the big tent. When he was thinking about whether to give Li Zicheng some excellence, a sudden burst of rapid footsteps came. Liu Pei immediately knew that something important had happened.
Then he saw the curtain of the big tent lifting up, and a guard walked in quickly. He walked closer and handed an envelope to Liu Pei. The envelope was marked with three slashes with red cinnabar!
When Liu Pei saw these three slashes, his pupils contracted! Because this is the 100,000 urgent mark in the Intelligence Bureau mark. It is the highest level mark, and everyone must make way for this information!
Liu Pei took the letter and asked before he opened it, "When will it be delivered?"
The guard said, "The people from the Intelligence Bureau sent it here. Just arrived. That guy was a man! He tied himself to the horse and his legs were worn out! When he came, the three horses had already run away and two were ruined."
Liu Pei opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper. It read: "The Qing army sent troops to the pass. Abatai led the army. The total infantry and cavalry was 80,000. After entering the pass, they did not attack any prefectures and counties along the way. They had already gone south, and the target was suspected to be Shandong!"
Liu Peiwan read this short letter several times, thinking quickly in his heart.
It seems that there are still Qing army's detailed works in Shandong! When their own forces gathered together, the Qing army also gathered their troops. They determined where I was going and then decided on the combat target. As a result, when my army entered Henan, the Qing army was dispatched.
Moreover, Liu Peisui agreed with the analysis in his letter. He also believed that the Qing army's goal was Shandong. Because first of all, the Qing army's actions this time were abnormal, and they did not rob the prefectures and counties! Can you imagine that robbers would not rob things? Unless there is a fatter target!
Secondly, Liu Pei and the Qing army fought several times, and they suffered heavy losses! Therefore, the Qing army must be very jealous of the craftsmen who can make cannons and muskets! Their target must be these craftsmen!
At the same time their
The second purpose is to burn, kill, loot and destroy Liu Pei's foundation! This definitely made Liu Pei angry! He would never tolerate such a thing! So at this time he had made up his mind to give this Qing army a deep lesson so that they would never dare to covet Shandong.
Thinking of this, Liu Pei immediately ordered the summoning of everyone. A moment later, all the senior officers and staff officers gathered in Liu Pei's tent.
After showing the information, Liu Pei said: "Shandong is my fundamental place, and there must be no trouble. So we must withdraw our troops."
Qi Qitao frowned and said, "That's faster! Now, except for 20,000 old foundations, all the rest of Shandong are recruits in the recruit camp. They can't get on the formation, otherwise they will die!"
A staff officer said, "But you can't get on the battlefield! If no one stops you, the entire Shandong will be destroyed! That's 80,000 Qing troops!"
Yang Jingfa said: "Don't talk nonsense! Letting those recruits go to the battlefield to die for nothing, it will only damage the morale of the army! And once they fail, there will be no teams in other places to resist."
Qi Qitao said: "That's the reason! But it would be good if they were to defend the city!"
Liu Pei said: "I won't discuss these issues for now. The first question I want to ask today is, if we withdraw our troops now, what will Li Zicheng react?"
The staff officer said: "How can he react? He should be afraid of us and wished we could leave."
Many officers agreed with the officer's statement. But Yang Jingfa said: "Master, I don't think it is. Maybe Li Zicheng will pursue him relentlessly!"
Liu Pei's heart moved and said, "Why did you say that?"
Yang Jing sighed and said, "When I was discussing how to deal with Li Zicheng, I said that I would defeat him as quickly as possible, not discuss any conditions with him, and drive him away from here. But everyone thought we could drive Li Zicheng! Grand Marshal, you can think about it. In terms of your status, what would you think if someone wanted to drive you?"
Lupe said in silence for a moment: "This one is done."
The thing is that I was thinking a little bit out of my mind! Li Zicheng already has a heroic heart, and he is absolutely unwilling to be driven! If we defeat him, he might escape far away, but if we play with him like this, it will only make him feel humiliated! Well, it will not end if he doesn't take revenge."
A group of staff officers next to him looked at me, I looked at you. One of them stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Grandmaster! When we made the plan, we had omissions."
Liu Pei waved his hand and signaled him to retreat and said, "I don't have the idea of holding him accountable. After all, everyone has the possibility of making mistakes. This time, we did not think about the problem from Li Zicheng's perspective, but took it for granted that we were strong enough and would be able to mobilize the other party. And completely ignored the other party's status and psychology. In fact, I have already had feelings in the past or two days. If Li Zicheng didn't want to make trouble with us, if it were as expected, he would have sent someone long ago. But he is still stuck in the camp and is unwilling to retreat after suffering losses."
The officer was still going to speak, and Liu Pei stopped him and said, "It doesn't matter. You learn from your mistakes and learn from each mistake. We will pay attention next time. But I hope everyone here will remember that every decision we make will involve the life and death of the brothers below, so be cautious! Okay, now that the question is over, let's discuss how to deal with Li Zicheng's problem. Since someone has proposed a new idea and has been recognized by everyone, then just follow this idea and think about it."
The staff officers quickly discussed and combined the opinions of Liu Pei and others, and the best conclusion was to defeat Li Zicheng as quickly as possible and force him to escape. Then the entire army returned to defense and went to Shandong.
The second way is to directly evacuate the entire army, but Li Zicheng will notice something and will easily be followed by Li Zicheng. But we can set up an ambush halfway and defeat him.
The third plan is to ignore Li Zicheng and instead set off the battalion overnight and leave quickly. Anyway, Li Zicheng's army training is not as good as his own side, so he can easily get rid of him.
