Qin Rong put aside the teapot handed over by Chen Xunping and said, "Those people from the Kong family will never cooperate with us honestly. They are bound to take action. What I'm worried about is that these people come without knowing it and make trouble secretly. Huai can't handle it alone."
"You have to have confidence in Yu Huai." Chen Xunping said, "This is not the first time we have done this in Juntian. You have to trust our people in the First Battle Division on this point."
Qin Rong said with a slightly worried tone: "Qufu is different from other places after all."
"I don't agree with what you said." Chen Xunping waved his hand gently and said, "If you put the Kong family on top, he will naturally be taller, but if you think of him as one of those wealthy families we met in the past, then he will be a Ordinary wealthy families, as long as the knives in our hands are fast enough, they won't be able to make big troubles."
Based on Kong's behavior, Qin Rong knew that what Chen Xunping said was the truth.
The fact that the Kong family has been able to exist for so many generations without being cut off depends on the ability of both snakes and rats. Otherwise, every time the dynasty changes, there will always be a place for the Kong family.
"Let's not talk about Qufu." Chen Xunping took out a map of Shandong and spread it on the table.
Qin Rong's eyes were attracted to the map. Stupid
Chen Xunping pointed to where they were now and said: "We have been delayed in Jining Prefecture for too long. My idea is to send troops immediately to attack Surabaya, go through Xinwen, enter Qingzhou Prefecture, and finally reach Denglai."
His fingers slid along the place names he mentioned, and finally clicked on Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture.
Qin Rong looked at the map again and again, especially the place pointed by Chen Xunping, he looked at it several times.
"Jinan Prefecture is not going to fight?" Qin Rong raised his head and looked at Chen Xunping.
Chen Xunping nodded and said: "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Shandong to capture the entire territory of Shandong. Now it seems that doing so is too slow and wastes time, so I decided to go to the front line and capture the two Dengli areas first. state capital, and then use this military line as the basis to spread to both sides."
His fingers made a spreading motion.
After hearing this, Qin Rong's eyes fell on the map again, his fingers rubbed his chin, and his brows slowly wrinkled. Stupid
After a while, he said: "This way we can capture the two states of Denglai in the shortest time, but it is also dangerous. Once the imperial court sends troops from the north and south, it will be like two big pliers. It is very likely that our military line will be clamped, so that we can't look at each other from the beginning to the end."
"You are right, so this place and this place must be captured in advance by sending troops." Chen Xunping pointed his finger at the two places marked Zaozhuang and Linqing on the map.
Finally, he pointed to Nanyang below Jining Prefecture.
Qin Rong looked at these places on the map repeatedly, and said: "If we guard these places, it will be difficult for the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili to threaten us, and the army that is coming will only need to Facing the officers and soldiers who may approach from the north."
"My idea is to detach a force and occupy these places in advance, and set up farmers' associations north of these places to form our foundation." Chen Xunping expressed his thoughts.
Qin Rong stared at the map and said: "It's a good idea, but how many troops and horses do you plan to allocate? If there are less, it will not be enough. If too many troops and horses are allocated, it will have an impact on the subsequent attack on Denglai."
"What do you think of a war barracks?" Chen Xunping asked. Stupid
Qin Rong thought for a while and said: "Is it too much? There are many soldiers and horses from the imperial court stationed here."
"I have thought about this a long time ago. These two places are close to the sea and have naval forces. If our navy sends troops together with us, it will be much easier to capture these two places." Chen Xunping said.
Qin Rong raised his head and said to Chen Xunping: "Our navy is stationed in Jeju Island, Lushun, and Taiyuan Island. In these three places, no matter which navy we can easily contact, let alone cooperate together. send troops."
"Of course we can't mobilize the navy on our own, but we can let the lord give orders to the navy. It is enough for the navy to contain the Ming army's navy from the sea when we attack." Chen Xunping looked at it. Xiang Qinrong.
Qin Rong said: "I agree, but we must hurry up and send the message to the lord. After all, even if the lord wants to contact our navy, it will be very troublesome."
Without its own outlet to the sea, it would be difficult for the Tiger Flag's power inland to connect with its power at sea, and even delivering messages would be slower than on land.
The main purpose of their dispatch of troops to Shandong was to open a channel for direct transportation to the sea. Stupid
"There is no urgency about Xin's matter. The top priority right now is to choose a general who is suitable to go to Zaozhuang to take charge of the front line." Chen Xunping said.
Qin Rong, who heard this, said: "Since a war camp has been sent there, the war barracks where it is located will be the commander-in-chief."
"If it were just to block the Ming army that might come from the south, it would be enough for a battalion to be in charge. But this time we not only have to guard the Zaozhuang front line, but also expand the army and manage the peasant association in the local area. We need a more important person. Only if someone is in charge." Chen Xunping pursed his lips and shook his head.
Qin Rong frowned and said, "You don't want Hong Chengchou to go to Zaozhuang! He certainly can't do it. This person must not be too involved in military affairs."
】
As the First Battle Division penetrated into Shandong, Hong Chengchou had already arrived in Shandong from Henan, taking over the areas captured by the First Battle Division and conducting local governance.
"I didn't say it was Hong Chengchou." Chen Xunping waved his hand.
Qin Rong thought for a moment and said, "Who is it if it's not Hong Chengchou? I never heard that Li Futai came from Henan!"
The Li Futai he mentioned was Li Shuheng who was based in Henan.
"Li Futai didn't come to Shandong, but besides the two of them, there is a more suitable candidate." Chen Xunping first denied that Li Shuheng came to Shandong, but also gave Qin Rong a pass and continued to let the other party guess.
"Who else could it be if they weren't them?" Qin Rong looked at Chen Xunping with doubtful eyes.
Since the battalion below is not suitable to be the leader of the First Army, there are only a handful of candidates left. He couldn't think of anyone other than Li Shuheng and Chen Xunping who was more suitable.
Moreover, as the coach of the army, Chen Xunping is even less likely to put down what he is doing and take over the errands of a partial general.
"It's you!" Seeing that he still couldn't think of anything, Chen Xunping had no choice but to tell him who he had in mind.
"Me?"
Qin Rong was stunned. He never expected that the other person was thinking of him.
Chen Xunping said with a smile: "After much thought, you are the most suitable candidate, and with you in charge, I can deal with Denglai with confidence."
