Chapter 62 Datong City

Chapter 62                                                             �

Datong General Office.

If there is anything similar between Qiu Luan and Zhou Shangwen? They both successfully held the military power in their own hands, and seriously excluded the power of the governor of Datong.

Leaving the new Governor Xuanda helpless.

Even Su You has resigned to the court in succession.

There was nothing else, Su You discovered that although he was Governor Xuanda, he could do nothing.

Datong is Qiu Luan's territory. Xuanfu is Weng Wanda's private land. Su You can do nothing except command a guard with more than a thousand people around him. Moreover, if Su You is a person who doesn't know how to do it, it's fine, on the contrary, Su You is a person who knows how to do it.

Although they are not from the army, they are from the garrison after all. When they arrive at the border, they will know how dangerous it is. They can't do anything here. It seems that they can only do one thing, that is, the scapegoat.

It would be strange if Su You is willing to do it.

But Yan Song naturally knew who was arranged by Su You in Xuanda. The undercurrent was the undercurrent. However, Su You was in Xuanda, and Jiajing was more at ease. Therefore, Yan Song kept writing letters to Su You, just reading the letter. How friendly and respectful and respectful of the wise and humble men was simply a heartfelt consolation. Su You should put the overall situation first and the court first. Don’t say that you resign and not resign easily.

But in private, he still doesn't give Su You any power.

After all, the former Governor Xuanda was promoted, and Beijing was not far from Xuanfu, and Yan Song's support. Su You could do nothing at all.

However, the reason why Zhou Shangwen put civil servants out was that he had been in the army for decades and was like his father and grandfather in the army. He had several great victories, and was in the heart of the emperor. The reason why Qiu Luan made the governor helpless was because of his political status on the mountain of the nobles and his friendship with Yan Shifan almost wore a pair of pants. It was almost the relationship between Yan Song's adopted son. What did the officials below think about Qiu Luan?

Two different situations have the same result. Different situations are always different.

At this time, it was revealed.

"Marty." A man stood up loudly and said loudly: "Now the Tartars have reached the city of Datong. Our Datong army has never been so depressed for so many years. Please order the Marquis to open the city to meet the enemy."

This person is not someone else, but Zhao Da.

As soon as Zhou Shangwen died, Zhou Shangwen's only remaining son was mourning in his hometown in Xi'an. Ma Fang was left in the capital by Zhou Mengchen again. Zhao Da naturally became the head of Zhou Shangwen's old subordinate. Although he was not from Datong, he was from Liangzhou. He had also been in the army in Datong for many years. He had long regarded Datong as a place to bury his bones.

Seeing the Tartars so arrogant at this moment, I could not help it.

And it's not just Zhao Da who can't help it.

There were also most generals in Datong. As soon as Zhao Da came forward, a large number of generals stood up one by one and said, "Marty, the last general asked for a fight."

For a moment, two-thirds of the generals in the entire White Tiger Hall stood up. These were all local generals in Datong, which means they were all old subordinates of Zhou Shangwen.

The remaining third was the army brought by Qiu Luan from the capital. When Qiu Luan took office, he took the pretext that the Datong army was seriously injured and needed supplementary, and more than 3,000 cavalry were removed from the two halls of the Beijing camp. Of course, although the Beijing camp was unable to fight, Qiu Luan was a local household in Beijing after all, and knew the situation of the Beijing camp. The troops he picked out might not be as strong as the elite border troops. At least they looked very powerful.

How did Qiu Luan fight? It is still unknown. Anyway, Qiu Luan's greatest achievement was to conquer Annan. Although he was a stance, then Mo said that he would surrender. The so-called "not fighting against the soldiers of the Quren" was a good person.

But it is very special to engage in personnel struggles.

In just a few months since I came to Datong, I have been using a group of officers transferred from the capital and to win over some local officers from Datong. With the help of the imperial court, I can also firmly grasp Datong Town.

But Qiu Luan never expected that he would meet this one today.

In the eyes of Zhao Da and others, it was unbearable. They had already let go, but in Qiu Luan's opinion, this was a challenge to his authority. He said in his heart: "A group of bastards, don't you know what kind of mess Zhou Pifu left me. At this time, I was asked to fight and my head was kicked by a donkey."

Qiu Luan never felt that there was anything wrong with his order to guard the city.

After all, the Tartars were powerful, and no matter how Qiu Luan thought about it, he could not escape the word "death" when fighting outside the city. Then he chose this conservative tactic. But this was also the realistic plan of eating a few pounds of stomach and a few pounds of rice. He knew his mission very well, and it was also the mission of Datong Town, which was to serve as a barrier to Beijing.

But his understanding of barriers is different from Zhou Shangwen's.

What Zhou Shangwen understood was that after Datong, it was Beijing. He would never let the Tartars go beyond Datong and go to Beijing. Therefore, for this purpose, he ruined countless Datong men, together with his two sons, and even his own lives, at all costs.

What Qiu Luan understood was that there were a series of military measures near Datong City and Datong City, and even if the Tartars went south, they could not go deeper.

Indeed, although the Tartars claimed to have no logistics, how is it possible?

Any military operation is logistical.

In the Datong and Xuanfu, the Tatar army attacked the three inner gates and the levels near Beijing, and could not use all their strength to make the defense line near Beijing so strong. I think the Tatars soon became unsuccessful in the long attack and had to retreat.

This is Qiu Luan’s strategic positioning of Datong.

This strategic positioning naturally has different tactics.

From an absolutely rational perspective, Qiu Luan's approach is not without reason. After all, the current situation in Datong Town is different from the past. Of course, this is related to the fact that Qiu Luan has never put more effort into strengthening the Datong Army and restoring the combat effectiveness of the Datong Army for several months since he took office.

Qiu Luan was furious, but laughed and said, "The morale of the army is available. How can I not want to fight the Tartars? But there are as many as 200,000 Tartars. Although there are false reports, they have made many decisions. Datong is also a barrier to the capital, let alone there are relatives in the city. It must not be lost. I would like to teach me how to fight this battle."

It’s not that Qiu Luan didn’t want to have an attack. He was an old man in the court. He still remembered the Datong Mutiny in the early years of Jiajing. The Datong Mutiny was not once, and it can even be said to have a tradition. There are precedents to kill the general and the governor.

Even the reason why the White Lotus Sect was able to pull so many people away was directly related to the Datong Mutiny and the improper handling of the Datong Mutiny in the court.

The arrogant general is just like these great soldiers who can fight. But domineering has a tradition. Zhou Shangwen is not the first one. However, although Zhou Shangwen is a little domineering in front of civil servants, he is still very respectful in front of Jiajing.

So Jiajing had a good impression of Zhou Shangwen.

Qiu Luan didn't want to be a member of the list of victims of the Datong Mutiny. Naturally, he had to follow them.

Zhao Da was a straight man, and even though he had some thoughts, he was still focused on marching and fighting. He never thought that he had actually angered his immediate boss. Instead, he heard Qiu Luan say this and was overjoyed and told him all the battle plan discussed with everyone.

Zhao Da said: "Although our Datong army has been damaged many times, there are still more than 10,000 elite cavalry, which is enough to rush to the battlefield and can fight with one or three. If the Tartars are in other places, I am still a little hesitant. However, when the Tartars arrive at the city of Datong, they just need to lead the Tartars to fight decisively under the city, all infantry and cavalry are out, and they will fight back to the city. The Tartars cannot impulse our army. If the Tartars come here, if they leave without fighting, they will greatly damage the morale of the Tartars. I dare not say that they will defeat them in a big way. I will always have a small victory or two to win back the morale of the Datong army and people."

"If the Tartars really throw themselves into the decisive battle at Datong City and all the soldiers and horses in the city are out, wouldn't it be extremely empty?" Qiu Luan said.

Zhao Da said loudly, "Wrong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win. Our army can hide artillery in the army, and do not use it first, and let the Tatars attack. The decisive battle will last for a day. Then, the generals first use the artillery to attack, and then the cavalry will attack. The Tatars will fight for a day, and their morale will be exhausted. When this thunder strike is used, they will definitely win a great victory, and they will not lose to the Hei Shui victory in this life."

Zhao Da slashed empty-handedly, saying passionately, as if a great victory was right in front of him.
