Chapter seven hundred and ninety-two the oriole is behind
"Father!" Li Xin's youngest son Wu Chenghao called Wu Shigong crisply, and then he snuggled into Wu Shigong's arms and acted coquettishly.
When Li Xin and Wu Chengying were placed under house arrest, of course Li Xin's other two children were also placed under house arrest. Li Xin's youngest son, Wu Chenghao, was only four years old. He was so frightened that when he saw Wu Shigong, he rushed over to seek help.
comfort.
Wu Shigong held Wu Chenghao on his lap and made him sit, caressing the top of his head, and then asked softly: "You are a boy, do you have a mother and sister who will protect you this time?"
Wu Chenghao immediately buried himself in Wu Shigong's arms in shame and refused to come out.
…
In the evening, Li Xin nestled in Wu Shigong's arms. She and Wu Shigong were chatting about home affairs. As they chatted, they came to the topic that Xue Yongli had put her under house arrest. Li Xin couldn't help but get angry in her words: "Husband! That Commander Xue used to
He is just your servant, but he dared to commit a crime this time. I also know that he is very important to my husband now, and I know that my husband cannot punish him. But I must also give more warnings. This time it is not only I and Ying'er, but also others.
My sister and my husband’s other children were all frightened.”
"You, you!" Wu Shigong fondly touched Li Xin's beautiful nose, "Hey——! Some things can't be fought over. Fortunately, I'm still here this time. If I were gone, I might be bleeding like a river. I
I know what you are thinking. But it really doesn’t work. It doesn’t work! I will give Lin’er his position, and Ying’er and the others, I will give them wealth. If we don’t expect them to be brothers, at least they can’t kill each other! Sometimes,
Take a step back and the world is brighter, and you have to open up this knot in your heart."
"Yes!" Li Xin nodded obediently. "I'm really a little scared this time."
"It's okay. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch you and Ying'er. Have a good rest. Go home this time. It will be difficult to go out in the future."
"Well! But your husband can't indulge in women's sex. The two charming girls from Jinling City are still waiting. And the new sister Luo looks like she wants to be a mistress. What is her background? Doesn't my husband care?
Do you care about her?"
Wu Shigong secretly laughed in his heart. This woman is indeed jealous above all else. "Then Jun'er's matter is a bit tricky, and it has to do with my father. Don't take it personally, just mind your own business! It's best to live in peace, if
If it's too much, just divide the inner house into two parts, so that out of sight, out of mind! Don't worry, I have the final say in matters at home."
"But you haven't talked about those two foxy girls yet?"
"|After I come back, I have to comfort Ruya, Xiuzhu and the others. They won't be free in a short time. Let's talk about it later!"
“Men always mean what they say!”
"hehe!"
…
On the first day of May in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the War Room of the Military Command Department of the Runing Army.
"The order has been issued. The Runing Army will mobilize another 20,000 people, and they will all join the army by the middle of the month. The inner accountant has also prepared a million taels of silver. To be honest, if our Runing Army does not gain anything this time, all of us will have to
Went to beg for food."
Wu Shigong's words caused a burst of laughter from the officers.
"What are we going to do now? Just one word - wait. Other officers and soldiers are marching south along the Yellow River. We just want to wait until a big battle breaks out between the officers and soldiers and the Shaanxi bandits."
"Three scenarios: In the first case, the Shaanxi thieves are defeated, then they will definitely flee south, then we will cut off their retreat and strive to annihilate them all in one blow. The first thing is to kill the two thieves Li and Luo."
"One is that we are evenly matched, then we will be ready to look for opportunities to attack and give the Shaanxi thieves a fatal blow. Similarly, killing the two thieves Li and Luo is the first priority."
"The third option is a massive defeat of the officers and soldiers. According to the deduction of the military command department's battle situation, this possibility is the greatest. Then our troops from Nanyang will be dispatched first. We will occupy the entire Nanyang Prefecture as quickly as possible and join forces with Junzhou's troops.
Form a line. First block the road for the Shaanxi thieves going south. Then, drive the Shaanxi thieves west to Sichuan and Shaanxi or north to cross the Yellow River and enter Beizhili. If they still stay in Henan, then we will annihilate them all. If they
If you leave, you don't have to expend all your energy to fight and give them room to escape."
"Remember! No matter how we fight! This time we want to control the entire territory of Henan, and we can no longer let the Shaanxi thieves run south. If there are other officers and soldiers who dare to block our actions, they will also be surrounded and annihilated. We need time,
We need territory and people, and we can’t delay it any longer.”
"promise!"
"Okay! Now it's up to Director Xue to announce the action orders of each unit!"
…
Although the Runing Army decided to go on an expedition, they still stayed put for the time being. The action they prepared this time had two strategies.
The best strategy is to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, hoping that the combined forces of Li and Luo will completely destroy the main Ming army led by the governor Ding Qirui. After losing this main Ming army, the Ming Dynasty will not only have the Jingying camp in the two capitals, but also Zuo Liangyu.
Apart from the ragtag group he leads, there is no mobility left. In future battles, the Runing Army will be able to do whatever they want.
Of course, the best result is to let Li and Luo's coalition forces move ahead of the Runing Army. In this way, they can use Li and Luo's coalition forces to clear out the local officials of the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Runing Army to take over smoothly, and at the same time shaken the Ming Dynasty.
The foundation made the imperial court rely more heavily on the Runing Army.
The next best option is to completely annihilate the Li and Luo coalition forces. Although this can clear out the peasant army, the big enemy that competes for the world, it will have many disadvantages to the expansion of the Runing Army. And Wu Shigong is already ready to let the Runing Army dominate.
He raised his bow, but it really didn't work, and he wanted to occupy the whole of Henan by force without resorting to war.
But at this time, everyone in the Runing Army believed that the main force of the Ming Army under Commander Ding Qirui was still very effective, and was not much different from the coalition forces of Li and Luo. Therefore, the result of this battle was basically a lose-lose situation for both sides.
The Runing Army will also have to wait until both of these two armies are defeated before dispatching to completely eliminate them.
At the same time, on the second day of May, the peasant army besieged Kaifeng for the third time. Li Zicheng set up his headquarters in Yanli Village, and Luo Rucai stationed himself in Hengdipu. The governor Ding Qirui, the governor of Baoding Yang Wenyue and the general Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei,
Yang Dezheng, Fang Guoan and other 180,000 official troops camped for dozens of miles along the Yellow River, preparing for a decisive battle with the peasant army.
On May 13, the official army forward arrived at Zhuxian Town, and the peasant army temporarily withdrew from Kaifeng, concentrating all its forces to attack the incoming official army. In order to prevent the official army in Kaifeng City from leaving the city to pursue the attack, the peasant army was in a disadvantageous position of being attacked from both sides.
Li Zicheng sent someone to the city with forged arrows from Zuo Liangyu's Ministry and shouted: "The thief will be captured overnight, but we are afraid that he will sneak into the city. There are not many soldiers in Bian, so we must guard it tightly and don't leave lightly." However, Kaifeng City did not know what the plan was.
