Coming out of the Lotus Temple, the cold wind blew, and from time to time, one or two ice crystals floated by. Wan Jun looked up and saw that snowflakes began to float in the sky.

"It's snowing!"

Wanjun said sincerely that Zhang Xiaoyan loves snowflakes the most.

Zhao Boyuan replied, "Yes, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year will be a good year!"

The snowflakes are falling and heavier, and Jinzhong Mountain looks particularly lonely among the snowflakes.

Returning from Wangjialou Village, people along the road had posted red Spring Festival couplets and hung lanterns, and children's laughter came from time to time.

When they saw a large group of soldiers passing by, the people did not hide. Some people walked closer and greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Happy New Year in the Official Family, Happy Chinese Army."

Zhao Boyuan rode on the horse and said happily, "It's so good. After years of war, I finally saw the scene of peace again."

King Lu said, "In the past, when the people met the officers and soldiers, they were afraid that they could not dodge. This is strange to the people of Lucheng."

Zhao Boyuan said, "Since the establishment of the Chinese Army, the military discipline has been strict and will never harm the people. It is not comparable to the Ming army. Not only Lucheng, but also the people will not hide from wherever the Chinese Army goes!"

King Lu said, "This is strange!"

Wei Kuangguo interrupted, "I want to say the most strange thing. Fighting in Europe is something that only nobles can participate in. The person in charge of the war in the Ming Dynasty was actually called Qiu Ba, and he has a low status."

The King of Lu said, "You don't know this. The truth that has been passed down for thousands of years in China: civil officials are in trouble, and the disaster lies in the court, and military officials are in trouble, which will cause trouble to the world. The Anshi Rebellion to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the military rulers are in trouble. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, they always use literature to control the military."

Wei Kuang National Highway, "If it is so good to use literature to control martial arts, why did the Song Dynasty fall? Why did the Hu people prosper?"

As soon as these words were spoken, King Lu was speechless.

Wan Jun's mind was attracted by the conversation and headed to the National Highway of Kuang, "You know the history of China very well."

Wei Kuangguo smiled and said, "I traveled thousands of miles from Europa and finally arrived in China. I need to learn more."

Wan Jun nodded, "You are right. Before the Tang Dynasty, China fought south and north, and the four barbarians could not resist it. Only then would anyone who violated the powerful Han Dynasty would be punished even if it was far away. After the Tang Dynasty, why did you use your own martial arts to control martial arts by using literature to destroy martial arts? The status of martial artists was low, and the Song Dynasty was defeated by others."

King Lu said, "If we do not use literature to control the military and the military will cause trouble, will the world be in chaos and the lives of all living beings be ruined?"

Wan Jun said, "Was there little trouble for the Hu people from Liaodong to Jiangnan?"

King Lu said, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, the Chinese army is so strong, what if one day..."

Wan Jun said, "There will be no in case. What do you know the most different thing between the Chinese army and other armies?"

King Lu said, "I know that the Chinese army strictly abides by military discipline and does not violate the people!"

Wan Jun smiled and shook his head and said, "No!"

King Lu was puzzled, "What is that?"

Wan Jun said, "The Chinese army knows why they fight!"

King Lu, “Why?”

Zhao Boyuan smiled and said, "I know, unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army fought for the Zhu family, the Chinese army fought for the people of the world, and the Chinese nation. Do you think such an army will cause trouble to the world?"

While everyone was talking, they rode their horses back to Lucheng, entered the lobby of the county government, and the servant poured hot tea.

Wan Jun said to Zhao Boyuan, "Tell me about the battle in Xuzhou. The military newspaper will not be detailed. What is the battle?"

Zhao Boyuan took a sip of hot tea, recalled the battle in Xuzhou, and slowly told everyone about the bloody battle in Xuzhou.

March

At that time, under the leadership of Xie Qian, the Shandong rebel army advanced from Xuzhou to Suqian. After taking Suqian, they controlled Huai'an Prefecture, and could cut off the connection between the Hu people in Jiangnan and the north, and the Qing army would be divided into two.

Liu Zeqing of Suqian knew the pros and cons of it. On the 18th day of defending the city in Suqian, when Xie Qian's military strength and morale were consumed, he suddenly broke out of the city on the 19th. Xie Qian's army was suddenly attacked and defeated. His troops rushed to 500 miles and fled to Xuzhou.

As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, Liu Zeqing's troops arrived again. Xie Qian personally led his troops to resist the enemy, but was finally captured and killed by Liu Zeqing at the end.

The battle situation in Xuzhou reached Xinyang. In mid-April, Li Chengdong led his troops to Xuzhou. The two sides started a big battle in Xuzhou. Li Chengdong defeated Liu Zeqing with his superior skills.

After Liu Zeqing was defeated, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Jier Harang, who was in charge of Jiangnan, was furious. From the end of April to May, he personally led Shuncheng County Prince Luke Dehun, Duanzhong Prince Boluo, Liu Liangzuo, Geng Zhongming and other generals to Xuzhou.

After receiving the news, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing emperor in Beijing, received the news, he sent Prince Xun Mandahai to lead 15,000 people of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia and 7,000 elite Soren cavalry to Xuzhou.

By the end of May, the Qing Dynasty gathered heavy troops in the Xuzhou area, with 23,000 people from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, 7,000 elite Soren cavalry, 50,000 Han Eight Banners, and 250,000 Green Camp soldiers. The troops recruited from all over Nanjing were 300,000,000, with a total force of more than 600,000.

When Zhao Boyuan learned about Jiergalang's movements, he quickly drew Chen Bajiao from Anqing and Chen Mingyu, mobilized Yang Qingshan from Huguang, and Shang Zhaoxin's many troops rushed to Xuzhou. When the two sides confronted each other at the end of May, the total strength of the Chinese army had reached twenty-six divisions.

The 260,000 Chinese army, plus the troops under Li Chengdong's troops, had a total strength of more than 400,000, almost draining all the troops in Anqing, Huguang, Henan.

The Qing Dynasty sent out the elite Sauron soldiers at the bottom of the box, and more than 600,000 Qing troops also suppressed all their assets. The victory or defeat was related to the ownership of half of the country.

On the sixth day of the sixth month, the Qing army took the lead in launching an offensive. The northern troops were commanded by King Luke Dehun of Shuncheng County, leading 5,000 Eight Banners and 80,000 Green Camp soldiers, and marched along the canal line and attacked Longzhuang!

The southern troops were commanded by Prince Duanzhong Boluo, who led 10,000 Eight Banners and 100,000 Green Camp troops to attack Fenghuang Mountain and Dalong Lake.

The southern and northern lines attacked at the same time, and Jirhalang personally took charge of the central army and commanded the troops to attack Xuzhou City!

In Xuzhou City, Zhao Boyuan was extremely excited when he received the news. Since the rebellion in Lucheng, what Zhao Boyuan wanted most was to lead troops to fight and gallop across the battlefield. Unfortunately, because of insufficient manpower, Wanjun always regarded Zhao Boyuan as Xiao He's use, and was in charge of the food, grass, and ordnance logistics of the Chinese army.

Now it’s a coincidence that it’s not too early. Zhao Boyuan personally directed the Battle of Xuzhou, and it was a decisive battle of millions of people. The future is just around the corner.

Zhao Boyuan knew the importance of this battle, so he did not dare to be careless in his heart and summoned the generals to discuss matters in the Xuzhou camp.

The news sent back by the whistle detective was basically clear about the arrangement of the three Qing dynasties. General Zhao Boyuan reported to the generals. After many years of war, all the generals knew the ideas of the three Qing dynasties.

Chen Bajiao was the first to speak, "The arrangement of the Hu people can be said to be impeccable. Three groups of troops were launched in one go, and the smallest Northern Army had nearly 100,000 troops. The three groups of troops were not weak, and the middle Army had the strongest troops and could support the other two routes at any time."

The rest of the people nodded together, "The arrangement of the Hu people seems to be mainly the middle lane as the north and south as the wings. In fact, the middle lane is just a restraint, and the north and south wings encircle Xuzhou City instead of the main attack."

Zhao Boyuan said, "How do you think you will deal with it?"

Everyone pondered for a long time, Chen Minghui said, "Our army has few soldiers, so why not defend the front line of Xuzhou to Fenghuang Mountain. Can the advantage of defending the enemy eliminate the enemy's strength?"

Chen Bajiao shook his head and said, "The Hu people cannot break the line of Phoenix Mountain, where is the line of the canal? How many soldiers do we send?"

Someone said, "We have few soldiers, and we lose sight of each other. If we spread our strength, we will be weak everywhere."

Someone said again, "Why not concentrate the troops, let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way."

Zhao Boyuan made up his mind and stopped everyone's noise and said, "Okay, I have an idea!"

Everyone calmed down and looked at Zhao Boyuan together.

Zhao Boyuan said, "In the Battle of Sarhu, Liaodong, Hu Ke Nurha used the tactic of 'Let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way' to concentrate his troops and defeat the four groups of Ming troops. It is indeed a good idea to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers."

"But the current situation is different from Sarhu. Although the Qing Dynasty was divided into three groups of troops, the north and south were closely connected. The reinforcements of the Central Army could arrive in half a day, so it was impossible for us to quickly annihilate all of the troops."

Chen Bajiao said, "What is the tactic of the Pulver Kingdom?"

Zhao Boyuan said, "Can you hear the allusion of Tian Ji's horse racing?"

Chen Mingyu said, "I heard that Tian Ji, a general of Qi, was racing horses with others. His upper, middle and lower third-class horses were stronger than his opponents, but Sun Bin used his lower horse to compete with Tian Ji's top horses, and then used his upper, middle and lower horses to compete with his lower horses, and finally defeated Tian Ji."

Chen Bajiao was puzzled, "What does this horse racing have to do with Xuzhou?"

Zhao Boyuan smiled and said, "It has a big relationship. The Hu people divided the troops into three groups. No matter which route is broken through in the north and south, it means that Xuzhou is surrounded and the battle in Xuzhou has failed. Therefore, we must also divide the troops into three groups to fight the Hu people."

Chen Bajiao said, "We want to use the strongest troops to fight the weakest route of the Hu people?"

Zhao Boyuan said, "That's right!"

Chen Bajiao said, "But Zhu Guo just said that no matter which troops in the north and south, the Hu people can reach reinforcements in half a day!"

Zhao Boyuan said, "That's right, so the troops we sent should also count the enemy's reinforcements. When the enemy finds out, they want to reinforce. It's too late."

Everyone thought about it carefully and thought this method was feasible. Zhao Boyuan said, "All the generals obey the order!"

"I ordered Chen Bajiao to lead 30,000 troops to station on the front line of Fenghuang Mountain, only defend but not attack, and be sure to restrain the southern Qing army."

"Let Chen Mingyu lead 50,000 troops to defend Xuzhou City!"

"Let Li Chengdong and all the other soldiers follow me to the canal and fight the Hu people in the Longzhuang area!"

Chen Bajiao said, "Zhu Guo, I, Old Chen, don't like this division. When I was in Anqing, I just asked me to guard the ravines and ravines. I couldn't cut it with the Hu people. Now I won't let me go in the bloody battle of Longzhuang, so I'm going to guard the mountain again."

Zhao Boyuan smiled and said, "Look, I just finished talking, you are clear in your heart. When I was digging a trench for hundreds of miles and chasing the Hu people for two years, I didn't let the Hu people pass Anqing. I just want you to do this now!"

Chen Bajiao said, "I, Old Chen, want to go into battle and kill the Hu people!"

Zhao Boyuan said, "Liaodong is so big and there are so many Hu people. There will be opportunities to fight you in the future. Are you afraid that you will fight for no war?"

Chen Bajiao said, "I will feel relieved if I say this. Next time, don't let me just defend but not attack. The fight will be frustrating and uncomfortable!"

Zhao Boyuan glared at Chen Bajiao and said to everyone, "Then follow the plan and the whole army gathers together!"
Chapter completed!
