Chapter 34 The packaging of Wu Mu’s suicide note
While Li Yue was happy, he also knew that the upcoming counterattack was related to the life and death of the Ming army. If he loses, he or she will eat.
"Anyway, this is a good sign. At least the four families are united sincerely and have unified orders." Li Yue chuckled and said, "This is all due to Mr. Huang."
Well, there is no need for Huang Li to be modest about this. History has changed, which is always for the better. But the trajectory deviation is even greater, big enough to counterattack and win.
The current situation is already at its lowest point. No matter how hard you try, it will not get worse. Can you still fall into the eighteenth level of hell?
It is already a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak. Each family is still guarding its own territory. It is scattered and the strength is small. How can it resist the Qing army's attack?
"Maolu Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles, dense forests, and dangerous terrain, which is enough to withstand several times the Qing army's onslaught. Lin Guogong and Yi Guogong moved their families here, which is relatively safe and allows the soldiers to have no worries."
As Huang Li spoke, he took out the essentials of the military book he had written these days. There were four big words on the cover: "Wu Mu's Suicide Note".
Li Yue stared at these pieces of paper intently, wondering what the third prince was writing these days. It should be something very powerful, right?
The granular transformation of gunpowder, the power of tunnel blasting, counterweight trebuchets, wooden cannons, and landmines are all shockingly sharp weapons.
In the opinion of Li Laiheng and Li Yue, these should be the royal secrets of war brought by the third prince. They have indeed learned something from their overseas travels, which is why they have such insights beyond ordinary people.
"This book is the legacy of Grandpa Yue Feiyue." Huang Li patted the thin book and said slowly: "I don't know why it ended up overseas and was in the hands of a Chinese. I was lucky enough to read it, and I only remember it.
Two three."
"Wu Mu, it turns out to be Grandpa Yue's posthumous name." Li Yue suddenly realized, his eyes flashed with enthusiasm.
In ancient times, the highest posthumous title for civil servants was Wen Zhenggong, such as Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty, Yelu Chucai in the Yuan Dynasty, Li Dongyang in the Ming Dynasty, and Zeng Guofan in the Qing Dynasty.
The highest posthumous title for generals is Zhongwu, such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Shi in the Three Kingdoms, Yuchi Jingde, Li Sheng and Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jilong and Han Shizhong in the Song Dynasty, Boyan and Mu Huali in the Yuan Dynasty, Chang Yuchun in the Ming Dynasty, etc.

But when it comes to the posthumous titles of generals, the most famous one is not Zhongwu, but Wumu. The reason is very simple. Yue Fei is so famous that he has been shining brightly in the long river of history from ancient times to the present.
Therefore, the famous generals who were posthumously named "Wu Mu" in history, such as Li Guangbi of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Huaide of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Qi of the Southern Song Dynasty, etc., were all overshadowed by Yue Fei's glory and were not known to everyone.
"Sure enough, it still needs packaging, a celebrity platform, and eye-catching. It's the same today and in ancient times!" Huang Li thought to himself, nodded forcefully and firmly, and pushed the brochure to Li Yue.
Li Yue couldn't hold back his joy. He stretched out his hand to take it solemnly and promised: "Sir, don't worry, I will give it to my father. I will study it hard and keep it in my heart, and no one will know about it."
Huang Li hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I also ask the Duke to teach this military manual to the trusted generals, including Duke Jingguo, Duke Yi and others who are about to arrive. In this way, our army will have to change its combat strategy to be as strong as an arm.
Use your fingers without any hindrance."
Leak?! Hey, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has been spread everywhere. Over hundreds of thousands of years, almost everyone who directs and fights has read it. But why is there still a distinction between superior and inferior, victory and defeat?
Just like the essence of Mao Mao's guerrilla warfare, it only contains sixteen words. Why is it that both the enemy and ourselves know it, but it is still difficult to decipher it?
"Mr. Huang is very righteous." Li Yue bowed and thanked him, and said, "So, copying is also allowed?"
Huang Li nodded as expected and said with a smile: "Of course."
Look, it was so easy to get around in ancient times. If you just piece together a few things, you can immediately publish a book and become famous, and you are not afraid of being sued for plagiarism and infringement.
For the great cause of restoring his sight, for the heroes he once admired, and for his own life, Huang Li really fought hard. Everything he could think of and achieve was almost a loss.
Unfortunately, due to limited conditions and many awesome weapons, Huang Li could only put them on hold temporarily. But even so, as preparations continued to advance, his confidence continued to grow.
………………
Badong County, Laomukong.
Yuan Zongdi led the reinforcements and had already set off, and Hao Yaoqi also led his men and family members to Maolu Mountain to join forces with Li Laiheng.
As a result, only Liu Tichun, the Duke of Anhui, led more than 5,000 troops to resist the Sichuan Qing army to the west.
However, the Qing court's plan to increase troops to assist the war put the Sichuan Qing army and the Shaanxi and Henan Qing army in a state of waiting. The journey from Wushan to here was also difficult, and the Qing army showed no signs of continuing to attack in a short period of time.
Because Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi left, Liu Tichun had to face the pressure alone, but he still sent out the original five thousand people.
However, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi wanted to join forces with Li Laiheng, but they came out in full force, causing the reinforcements to still exceed expectations, reaching 9,000.
According to the accurate information brought back by Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng planned to send 15,000 troops for counterattack, with a total force of 24,000.
"The Huguang Qing Army originally had 30,000 troops, but after the disastrous defeat, there should be around 20,000. Although it has an advantage, it is not too obvious."
Liu Tichun looked at the map with a worried look on his face, "Perhaps, Little Tiger will deploy some more troops according to the changing situation, maybe two or three thousand!"
Although the Qing army may wait for reinforcements to arrive before unifying its actions, it does not rule out the possibility of continuing the attack. It is always risky to send out too many troops.
Liu Tichun knew that Li Laiheng had actually tried his best, so he didn't expect him to continue to increase his troops.
Therefore, he hoped that Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao, and Ma Tengyun would send troops to assist in the battle after receiving his letter.
It doesn’t take too many. The three troops can dispatch three to five thousand people, which can increase the chance of victory in the counterattack.
Although they are all remnants of the army, they are also divided into gangs.
Liu Tichun was close to Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi, probably because they were of the same generation and had fought side by side.
Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao and Ma Tengyun are in the same group. Because they are both marquises and are one level below the Duke of the country, they have to stay together to keep warm and not listen to others' orders.
Li Laiheng is the youngest and the strongest. He has a good relationship with Liu Tichun and others, but Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao and others are not so good.
"Even if they are half-convinced about the Third Prince's news, they still have to send someone to confirm it before deciding what to do?" Liu Tichun couldn't help but feel a little irritated as he estimated the time.
While he was thinking about his troubles, his son Liu Xiang stepped in and bowed: "Father, the newly moved family members have been settled."
