Chapter 360 Cooperation
Ma Xianglin teased Lin Chunhong many times, but Lin Chunhong couldn't bear it and directly smashed the most proud thing in Ma Xianglin's heart, almost trying to make Ma Xianglin crazy.
Ma Xianglin's lips trembled constantly in anger, and he couldn't say a word. He pointed at Lin Chunhong, "You...you..."
As the host of the military discussion, Xiong Wencan certainly could not watch the military generals quarrel with each other. He immediately took the conversation and said coldly: "Bai Gan soldier sacrificed his life for the country and fought for the court in the south and north. His achievements were all there. How could he be slandered in just a few words? Now it is a military discussion. You should speak freely and not make meaningless attacks!"
Xiong Wencan seemed to beat Ma Xianglin and Lin Chunhong each with fifty plates, but Xiong Wencan still slimly turned to Lin Chunhong. After all, the two defeats of the White Sling Soldiers under Li Dingguo were known to everyone in the world and could not be considered slander. However, the words of "meaningless attack" directly put a hat on Ma Xianglin and warned him not to speak nonsense.
Lin Chunhong knew it well and immediately bowed to Xiong Wencan and said, "Mr. General Mo was so excited just now, please forgive me. As for how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, General Mo was solemnly obeying the orders of the Governor."
When Xiong Wencan heard this, he felt very relieved. He glanced at Li Shaoyi from the corner of his eyes and said modestly: "I have no final decision in my heart. I have experienced war for a long time, so I have to listen to your opinions."
After hearing Lin Chunhong's statement, Li Shaoyi's expression changed slightly and quickly returned to normal. He was extremely suspicious: Could it be that Lin Chunhong and Xiong Wencan reached a tacit understanding? If this is true, it would be a bit difficult for Yang Shangshu to take advantage of the situation.
Li Shaoyi's desire for control was really not that strong. Seeing Xiong Wencan and Lin Chunhong sang together, they quickly took the initiative in the military discussion. They immediately snatched the conversation and said, "If you want to talk about the strength of the troops, General Lin, General Ma has the most troops and the strongest strength. It is natural that he should play a greater role in encircling and suppressing the bandits. I wonder what General Lin and General Ma think about the situation of the battle?"
Ma Xianglin was blocked by Xiong Wencan's words just now, and his anger was full of nowhere to vent. Now when he heard Li Shaoyi's question, he immediately stepped out and said: "The last time I thought there was the Yellow River in the north and Tongguan in the west, the bandits could only go east and south. As long as I guard the bandits' east and south passages, the bandits would definitely not be able to escape..."
Ma Xianglin spoke in a whisper, and finally looked at Lin Chunhong provocatively and sneered: "Of course, it is far from enough to surround the bandits. You must send a brigade army to continue to attack the bandits so that you can completely wipe out the bandits."
Ma Xianglin's intention is obvious, and he told Lin Chunhong almost nakedly: We are all stationed on the periphery, and we will leave it to you to fight against the bandits in the middle. Once you are in a tight position, whether we can save you or not, we have to see if we are in a good mood.
Lin Chunhong didn't know Ma Xianglin's intentions, and immediately smiled and said, "General Ma was far-sighted, and Lin admired him. However, there were more than 200,000 bandits, and with just more than 30,000 Jingzhou troops attacked, it would be difficult to eat in a hurry. So Lin had a plan..."
Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong paused and looked at Ma Xianglin jokingly, with a mocking look on his face.
"I plan to drive Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai to the Lu family mountain area!"
Ma Xianglin is currently leading more than 7,000 Baigang soldiers, stationed in Luonan County, only a hundred miles away from Lu's County. Lin Chunhong said that to drive the bandits into the Lu's mountainous areas is equivalent to pressing all the pressure of the bandits on Baigang soldiers. How could Ma Xianglin not be angry?
Ma Xianglin immediately jumped out and said angrily: "General Lin! Now it is a military discussion, not a public revenge! If you continue to entangle, where will the Governor General and Lord Li be?"
Li Shaoyi also reminded coldly: "General Lin, please be careful!"
Lin Chunhong was too lazy to pay attention to Ma Xianglin and Li Shaoyi. Facing Xiong Wencan, he bowed and said, "Governor General, please be clear. Although Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are known as more than 200,000, most of them are people who carry them and have very poor combat power. Their commands are worth fighting, and they will never exceed 50,000."
"Even so, if the people of Xiebuo help, they should not be underestimated. The delusions are overwhelmed and may not be despised. However, if we want to completely eliminate the bandits such as Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, there are ready-made cases to follow: In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Huang Long led more than 100,000 bandits to flee to Fangcheng. Under Zhou Wang's continuous attack, the smoke and clouds disappeared in less than a month. In other words, to completely eliminate Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, the two bandits could be driven southwards. After the people of Xiebuo were dispersed, General Ma blocked the bandits' way. Finally, he would be able to catch Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai in one battle!"
After saying this, Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing and other generals kept nodding secretly. To say, the strategy proposed by Lin Chunhong was very operational. At the beginning, Gao Yingxiang was so powerful that he was chased by Lu Xiangsheng all the way, and then beaten by Lin Chunhong, and then surrendered.
It seems that the best way to deal with the bandits is not to encircle, but to continue chasing them, so that the bandits have no chance to breathe, and ultimately set up a battlefield to completely encircle the weak bandits.
As for Xiong Wencan and Li Shaoyi, they naturally couldn't see anything wrong with this strategy. However, in their hearts, as long as Lin Chunhong was willing to send troops to attack the bandits, they would have no intention of disagreement.
Li Shaoyi saw the face of each general, knowing that the military generals tend to accept Lin Chunhong's strategy, he thought for a while and said, "What do you have any other opinions?"
When Ma Xianglin heard this, he knew that Li Shaoyi had accepted Lin Chunhong's strategy from the bottom of his heart. He was anxious and cold sweat came out of his face.
In Lin Chunhong's strategy, it was nothing more than asking the Jingzhou army to cut off the wings of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, drive the main force of the bandits to the Lu Mountains, and then block it by the Baigang soldiers. In this way, the Baigang soldiers will bear the main pressure of the bandits. If Lin Chunhong drives the bandits to the Lu Mountains and is lazy in the battle, how can the Baigang soldiers resist the bandits? If you are not careful, more than 7,000 Baigang soldiers will probably be explained in the Lu Mountains.
He immediately made a speech: "Governor General, Lord Li asks for a clarification. Even if General Lin cuts off the wings of the bandits, his troops will probably be around 100,000. Baigan soldiers are only 10,000. How can he resist it? It is better for Baigan soldiers to release the passage in the Lu Mountains and cooperate with General Lin to pursue the bandits. After the bandits flee to Yunyang Prefecture, they will increase their troops to intercept them. It is reported that General Lin ordered Tian Chuyun to station in Nanyang, with a force of more than 20,000. He can be transferred to Yunyang to complete the encirclement of the bandits!"
Ma Xianglin kicked the ball to Lin Chunhong's feet again. Xiong Wencan and Li Shaoyi looked at each other, and Xiong Wencan asked, "What are the objections of General Lin?"
When Lin Chunhong heard that Ma Xianglin was about to release the passage in the Lu Mountains, he was ecstatic, but his face was silent and said coldly: "General Ma is right, and I have no objection to encircle the bandits in Yunyang."
