When Emperor Kangxi asked when he would take action, Wu Yingxiong immediately said to Kangxi sincerely: "Nephew, we are already ready... It can be said that everything is ready, we only need the west wind!"
"We only owe the west wind?" Emperor Kangxi was stunned. "Don't we only owe the east wind?"
Wu Yingxiong smiled: "The east wind is not good. We are in the west. If the east wind blows, we will burn ourselves."
"Burn?" Kangxi asked with interest, "Uncle, do you also plan to burn Red Cliff?"
"Nephew, you are such a wise man!" Wu Yingxiong smiled honestly, "Since the man named Zhu has set up his camp in Chibi, if we don't burn him, we won't be sorry for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" which we have been watching since childhood!"
"But can it be burned?" Kangxi was still a little worried, "That Zhuge Sanhe is a descendant of Zhuge Liang!"
The relationship between Zhuge Sanhe and Zhuge Liang has long been officially certified by the Qing court!
Is it reliable to use the strategy of burning Red Cliff to deal with Zhuge Sanhe who is holding the "Kongming Secret Book"?
"It can be burned!" Wu Yingxiong looked confident, but at the same time he showed a trace of unbearability, "Nephew, to tell you the truth, it was your uncle-in-law Guogui who risked his daughter Xiaotu this time. Xiaotu let him Wu Yingqi gave it to Zhu Heji as a hostage. However, the girl was very good-looking. She was known as the Eight-faced Guanyin, which means she is stunningly beautiful from all directions. She is the number one beauty in Yunnan! So Zhu Heji The fake sage couldn't hold it back, took her into his house, and favored her lavishly.
Zhu Heji also loves the people of Wujiwu, so he wants to pay a big price to win over your uncle-in-law Guogui... It's a pity for Xiaotuo. This time Guogui used her relationship to make a false surrender. She is afraid that There is less danger and less danger. "
Another uncle by marriage!
Kangxi was also a little speechless. First his uncle came, then his uncle by marriage, and he didn’t know how many elders would come in the future!
And why did the most beautiful woman in Yunnan go to Zhu Hede? Kangxi became even more angry when he thought about this - everyone is the emperor, why should Zhu Heji have so many beauties in his harem? His own harem is full of rich and powerful people, and it is so easy for a beautiful Ma Jia to be killed by Burni. Got it!
But after he was angry, Kangxi's thoughts returned to the battlefield. He asked: "How does my uncle-in-law plan to burn Zhu Heji's navy?"
Wu Yingxiong said: "It's similar to the burning method in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... Your uncle-in-law is going to take the navy to fake a surrender. Some of the boats are filled with firewood, poured with strong kerosene, and rushed in with the favorable wind and current. The puppet Ming army's water stronghold at the foot of Chibi Mountain was burned. After the burning, other warships rushed in to fight. Even if Zhu Heji's navy could not be completely wiped out, more than half of them would be burned. Nephew, this Huguang A war is inseparable from the navy. The reason why Zhu Heji was so brutal was because his Yangtze River navy had many men, ships, artillery and many... As long as we can severely damage his navy, the Battle of Huguang will be successful. beated.
In addition, relying on the strength of the navy, Zhu Heji also asked his land division to set up camps across the river. A Chibi Mountain camp was set up in the south of the Yangtze River, and a Wulin Town camp was set up in the north of the Yangtze River. There was a pontoon bridge connecting the two camps. Among them, the Chibi Mountain Camp is larger, and the main force of the Puppet Minglu Division should be stationed there. The Wulin Town camp is much smaller, with only 50,000 people stationed at most.
Nephew, if you can send an army of 150,000 troops south to wait near Wulin Town, and when you see a fire burning on the river, you can immediately send troops to attack the Wulin Puppet Ming Army camp, you will be able to succeed nine times out of ten. If both land and water were won, the Battle of Huguang would have been fought! "
When Emperor Kangxi heard that Wu Yingxiong said that he wanted to send 150,000 troops to attack the Wulin camp, he immediately felt a numbness in his scalp. He quickly said to Wu Yingxiong: "Uncle, although I brought 150,000 troops to Xiangyang, I can't They are all sent to fight against Wulin. If Zhu Heji sends troops to attack Xiangyang, there will be trouble."
Wu Yingxiong smiled and asked: "My nephew, how many troops do you plan to send?"
"At most 120,000!" Kangxi said, "Uncle, you can make up for the rest!"
"Okay!" Wu Yingxiong said, "I will send an army of fifty thousand!"
"It's settled!" Kangxi raised his hand and said to Wu Yingxiong with a smile, "Uncle, let's high-five and form an alliance from now on to fight against the false Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay, let's high-five and work together to let Zhu Heji know how powerful we are!"
...
After Kangxi and Wu Yingxiong slapped each other, they went back to their homes. Kangxi's horse was faster and he returned to the bank of Han River in Fancheng first.
The ministers Yue Le, Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Tong Guogang, and Fei Yanggu immediately came up and made a thousand salutes first, and then stood bowed beside Kangxi's horse, waiting to hear the news. .
Kangxi glanced at them, exhaled and said: "I saw nothing unusual about Wu Yingxiong's color. Now everything is ready, all we need is the west wind...Uncle Huang, Tong Guogang, Fei Yanggu, you The three most capable fighters in my hands, I will leave this battle south to you!"
"This slave takes the order."
The three people hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.
Kangxi raised his hand to signal them to stand up, and then said: "I'll give you an army of 120,000 people..." He leaned down and said to Yue Le, "Uncle Emperor, you should be the commander-in-chief!"
"This slave takes the order."
Kangxi lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Emperor, I have given half of my wealth to you... Ten million, must not make any mistakes!"
"I know!" Yue Le nodded.
Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The remaining 20,000 people will be left to guard Xiangyang, Tuhai. The 20,000 people and Xiangyang City will be left to you... This Xiangyang City cannot be lost under any circumstances!"
"This slave knows!" Tu Hai also nodded heavily.
He knew that Kangxi was preparing for the worst for the Battle of Huguang.
If this battle of Huguang is defeated, then Xiangyang will be the gate to the Ming army arriving at Huguang... As long as Xiangyang is in hand, the Ming army will not be able to go north to Henan via the Huguang line.
As for the eastern front... the Qing army actually has one last resort available, which is to open up the Yellow River dam and flood Huaibei!
In history, when the Song Dynasty Duanping entered Luo, the Mongols used this trick.
However, this move was useless against the Ming army entering Luo from Xiangyang. Once the Ming army entered Luo and then went north to Shanxi, they could use the cover of the mountains of Shanxi to offset the power of the Qing cavalry and approach Beijing.
At the same time, the Ming army outside the Pass will appease the Mongols while attacking Shanhaiguan... The Qing Dynasty is really in danger!
So Xiangyang now is just like the Daming Shanhaiguan in those days, there is no room for error!
This is also the reason why Kangxi had to take Xiangyang before he would make a big bet on the Huguang battlefield.
...
"Brother Imperial, how is it?"
At the other end of the Han River pontoon, Wu Guogui also approached Wu Yingxiong and asked questions.
"Okay, Kang Mazi agreed to send troops... 120,000 troops!" Wu Yingxiong said, "But he also wants us to send 50,000 troops. He is really a fox."
Wu Guogui smiled and said, "Then let's go out...as long as we don't let the Qing troops escort us to block the muzzles."
Wu Yingxiong had already gotten off the horse, leaned into Wu Guogui's ear, and whispered: "Third brother, what should I do if we lose?
This battle in Chibi is a huge gamble, we have put all our money on it... If we lose, neither Yuezhou nor Jiangling can be saved! "
"Thirty-six strategies are the best!" Wu Guogui said, "Brother Emperor, we have to prepare for the worst. Why don't you take the more than 200,000 people here to evacuate to Sichuan first?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded, "Can Sichuan be defended?"
Wu Guogui said: "We can always defend for a few years... In case Chibi is defeated, my younger brother will come last and my royal brother will go first!"
When Wu Yingxiong heard this, he was really moved. He said to Wu Guogui with tears in his eyes: "Third brother, be careful. If we can't win, we will leave. Don't force it... We will keep the green hills here, and we are not afraid of losing them." Firewood!”
"Okay, okay, brother Chen knows." Wu Guogui nodded repeatedly, but thought in his heart: "Just having firewood is not enough, I have to take the last part of one million before I can leave!"
