Faced with the proposal of Jiang Xuan, the chief soldier of Pingyang Town, before Lu Xiangsheng could answer, Yang Guozhu stood up in the queue and said angrily: "Chief Jiang, since you are the one who came up with the plan, how can you restrain the slave chief Du Du? The heavy responsibility should be shouldered by you, so why pass it to General Qin?"
"Haha, it is said that those who are able work hard. Jiang is incompetent and dare not take on important responsibilities. General Qin is a hero. He will definitely win the battle and succeed immediately!"
"Jiang, I think you have ulterior motives and bad intentions!"
"Young surnamed Yang, don't be so slanderous!"
…
"Everyone shut up!"
Jiang Xuan and Yang Guozhu quarreled in the lobby, making their faces red and thick-necked, and they were ready to fight.
Lu Xiangsheng shouted, and then the two of them calmed down.
Lu Xiangsheng was extremely intelligent and naturally saw that Jiang Xuan had bad intentions, but looking at the situation at hand, Jiang Xuan's strategy was the only feasible way.
Among the eight troops, Tianwei Army is the most elite. Qin Feng is also resourceful, brave and good at fighting, far better than other generals!
For the sake of the overall situation, I can only aggrieve this young general. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "General Qin!"
"The humble job is here!"
"Do you dare to take on the task of restraining the slave chief - the Dudu tribe?"
"Don't be afraid of humble duties and be willing to shoulder them with all your strength!"
This mission is very dangerous, does Qin Feng know?
Know!
Since you know, why not refuse?
For one thing, military orders are overwhelming and it’s hard to refuse!
Secondly, there is a saying that goes well: If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Among the generals present, except for Yang Guozhu and Chen Yongfu who have some abilities, the rest are just pig teammates. There is no benefit in fighting side by side with these people, and they will only be held back.
It's better to fight alone, with no pig teammates to hold you back, and no boss to restrict your actions. You can do your best and have a better chance of winning!
Isn't it just 30,000 enemy troops? I am not afraid at all!
Of course, you can’t agree to this thing in vain, you must get some benefits!
"Master Supervisor, I have to bear the responsibility of restraining the slave chiefs. However, the military pay, food, grass, and equipment under my humble position are insufficient. I hope they can be replenished!"
While talking, Qin Feng took out a list, detailing the types and quantities of the things he needed, and then placed it on Lu Xiangsheng's desk.
The Tianwei Army belongs to the Shaanxi frontier army. Now it goes out of the province to fight. According to the rules, the military pay, food, grass, and equipment needed must be provided by the court!
This request was reasonable and reasonable, but Lu Xiangsheng did not agree. The reason was simple: the treasury was empty and the supply was insufficient!
At the beginning of taking office, he made many memorials, asking the imperial court to ensure the military pay, food and grass needed for the army to fight.
However, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was too empty, and there were many places that needed money and food. Even if they tried their best to raise money, they could not raise much, not even one-third of the demand.
The amount of military pay, food and grass is limited. If Qin Feng's request is met, the remaining seven generals will not get anything. This will definitely affect the subsequent war!
However, Qin Feng has the heaviest tasks and the greatest risks. It would be unjustifiable if the military pay, food and grass are not enough.
Dilemma, what to do?
In desperation, Lu Xiangsheng could only say a little apologetically: "The journey is long and the things are complicated. The military pay, food, grass, and equipment supplied by the court have not yet been delivered. The governor can only allocate part to General Qin first. As for the insufficient part, Qin General, please raise your own funds!"
"In that case, I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to issue an order to allow the general to raise his own military pay, food and grass!"
"Well...okay!"
Lu Xiangsheng held the pen in his hand and wrote a warrant bit by bit.
Qin Feng took the order and kept it as if he had found a treasure.
In fact, Qin Feng knew that Lu Xiangsheng did not have much military pay and food in his hands, and what he wanted was this warrant to raise money by himself, because with this
With the warrant, I can rob the eight Shanxi merchants openly, hehe!
In addition, Yang Guozhu's ability to speak uprightly shows that he is a good friend and will give him some benefits in the future.
As for Jiang Xuan, I will kill you sooner or later, just wait!
………
After the meeting, Qin Feng took Xiong Da and others back to the camp, and then sent people to collect some military pay, food, and equipment.
The next day, the soldiers of Tianwei Army broke up camp and marched north to Shanyin City, an important military town in northwest Shanxi.
Previous investigations revealed that the slave chief Du Du was leading an army of 30,000 men to storm Shanyin City. The defenders in the city fought hard to resist, suffering heavy casualties and almost unable to hold on anymore.
Reinforcement is like putting out a fire, you must be quick!
On the tenth day of August, the Tianwei Army arrived at Shiling Pass.
On August 14, we crossed the Xinshui River.
…
On August 18, we arrived at Crouching Tiger Mountain, which is more than 250 miles away from Shanyin City.
It was already dusk when they arrived at Crouching Tiger Mountain, so Qin Feng ordered to set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
The soldiers acted quickly and quickly set up the camp. Then they lit bonfires and buried pots to cook rice. After eating and drinking, everyone except the soldiers on night watch got into the tents to rest.
After marching for days, I was very tired.
Qin Feng did not rest. He led his soldiers to inspect the camp to make sure there were no omissions. Then he returned to the Chinese army's tent, took out a booklet from his bag, and read it carefully under the candlelight.
Sun Tzu once said: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
To defeat your enemy, you must understand your enemy!
The booklet Qin Feng looked at recorded the information about the slave chief Du Du collected through various channels, and the content was very detailed.
Du Du, 33 years old, is a member of the Aixinjueluo clan. His biological father, Chu Ying, is the eldest son of Nurhaci and his first great fortune, Tong Jia, and was appointed as his heir.
If nothing unexpected happens, after Nurhaci's death, Chu Ying will inherit the inheritance and become the second Great Khan of the Jurchens!
Something unexpected happened.
Chu Ying was arrogant, domineering and arrogant, offending all the Baylors and ministers. He even fought for power with his father and wanted to take over the throne in advance. As a result, in the 41st year of Wanli, Nurhaci ordered him to depose the heir and imprisoned them inside a high wall. He was secretly executed a year later.
After Chu Ying's death, his children were all implicated and were called "sin clan" by other clan members. They were often excluded and discriminated against, especially Du Du, who lost his position as the leader of the Xiangbai Banner and was incorporated into the Zhenghong Banner. , becoming an ordinary Baylor.
Suffering this huge blow, Du Du did not recover. Instead, he went on many expeditions with the army and made great achievements in the wars against the Mongolian tribes and North Korea!
After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he appreciated Du Du's ability very much. He treated Du Du very kindly and promoted him to important positions. This time, he even let him lead the army alone, which shows the degree of reliance on him.
………
After reading the information, Qin Feng began to think deeply.
Among the descendants of Aisin Gioro, Du Du's ability is absolutely outstanding. He is diligent, resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and loves soldiers like his own son... with almost no flaws.
If anything, it would be Du Du's status as a "sin sect" that put a heavy psychological burden on him, so that he was extremely cautious in doing things for fear of making mistakes.
Caution is a good quality in theory, but on the battlefield, being overly cautious can sometimes lead to constraint and missed opportunities.
If you make good use of this, you may be able to defeat Dudu!
…
After reading Du Du's information, I continued to read Abate's information.
It wasn't until the second watch that Qin Feng stretched and prepared to rest.
As soon as Nazhi was about to take off his clothes, he heard a loud horn blast from the southwest of the camp.
"No, there's an enemy attack!"
