    In the judgment, it was only the Gaode Jiejun who was thrown out by the old traitor Wu Sangui as bait. In fact, it was so difficult to chew, and its combat effectiveness was so fierce, it was a bit far beyond the expectations of the veteran and the last famous general of the Qing Dynasty, Oboi.  In addition, what makes Oboi secretly vigilant and worried is that since he came to power and resolutely ended the large-scale war in the country, in just ten years, the Qing army has deteriorated severely, and the soldiers' will to fight has also greatly declined.  Contrary to Oboi's expectation.

    When the enemy advances, he retreats. What worries Aobai, the loyal running dog, is the fact that he has retreated.

    As a veteran soldier who joined the army at the age of fifteen, Oboi certainly understood the reasons for the degeneration of the Qing army¡ªthere had been no large-scale wars in ten years, veterans retreated to death, and recruits never went to a big battle.  I have never seen so much blood when Mite Qing invaded the Central Plains. He was seriously inexperienced and mentally immature, which lowered the average combat effectiveness of Mite Qing's army.

    In addition, there is another important reason for the degeneration of the Qing army's combat effectiveness, that is, the superior life of the Eight Banners, the core of the Qing army's main force, after entering the customs.  Looting and plundering from it, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, under the pressure of survival, they are naturally very brave and tenacious in combat, and now the bannermen are eating hard-core crops, and every month there are Lumicola who are exploited and plundered from the Han people.  With no worries about food and clothing, why are you still willing to risk your life on the battlefield?  The core core is unwilling to work hard, so what do you expect the Han people in the auxiliary position to work hard?

    On the contrary, although Wu Sangui's army is only fighting to defend the exclusive planting rights of the Eight Banners drug ointment this time, the Yunnan and Guizhou controlled by Wu Sangui army are too poor and life is too difficult.  Food, grass and military salaries are not self-sufficient. Fighting for the Eight Banners drug cream is tantamount to fighting for survival in disguise. Can morale not be high?  Can the combat power not be tenacious?  Under the ebb and flow of mentality and will, Yue Le was defeated in front of Gao Dejie, so naturally he was not wronged at all.

    Fortunately, it hasn¡¯t been too long for the Qing army to degenerate. There are still ways and opportunities for Oboi to solve the above problems. The generals and soldiers are inexperienced and can be cultivated on the battlefield; the fighting spirit is not strong enough and the morale is not enough  Gao Gao can also awaken the cruel and brutal blood sleeping in the body of the people through strict military discipline and strengthened training, and restore the blood and animal nature of the past.  For Oboi who had already grasped these pulses, all he needed to solve these problems was time.

    Easier said than done, these problems need enough time to solve, but what Oboi lacks most now is time.  It has been almost four months since Kang Mazi set off from the capital on the second day of the first lunar month in the 11th year. Apart from completing the strategic siege of Wu Sangui's army that could not see results in a short period of time, Obai has not yet been in Wu Sangui's army.  Get a victory for yourself¡ªeven a symbolic victory!

    On the contrary, Wu Sangui's army captured Lianzhou to open up the sea route, and Gao Dejie took the initiative in breaking through Yuping Pass. Now Yue Le, who had high hopes from both Oboi and Xiao Mazi, was once again overwhelmed by Gao Dejie.  Unfortunately, it can be said that it has been a series of consecutive defeats. If things go on like this, the morale will decline greatly, and Oboi's prestige will also be severely damaged. This is extremely detrimental to Oboi's strategic plan to block Yunnan and Guizhou and finally force the main force of Wu Sangui's army to go out to Guizhou for a decisive battle.

    And there is another thing that worries Oboi even more, and that is Xiao Mazi's confidence in winning the decisive battle with Wu Sangui.  To force himself into the decisive battle in Guizhou, or to secretly contact Wu Sangui and issue a secret edict for Wu Sangui to attack him, then there is no need to fight this decisive battle for Oboi, just wait for his army to be completely undivided and collapse on its own!

    "Should we win a battle first to boost our morale and confidence?" Affected by internal and external troubles, Oboi inevitably began to waver, thinking whether he should win a symbolic victory or not first, to boost his morale and build up his confidence  Besides.  But after staring at the map and sand table in northeast Guizhou for a long time, Obai began to worry again.

    "How do we fight this battle?" Obai said to himself, "This ghostly place in the northeast of Guizhou, that is, Sizhou City, is relatively open. When you reach the junction of Sizhou Mansion and Zhenyuan Mansion, the road narrows immediately.  To Shili Road, there are two key passes, Jiming Pass and Jiaoxi Pass, both of which are easy to defend, difficult to attack and extremely dangerous. The purpose of Jie Barbarian is to introduce the old man into Guizhou, lengthen the old man's grain road, and use Guizhou  Yupingguan and Sizhou City are not important to him at all, once the old man makes a strong attack, the barbarians will definitely give up immediately and lead the old man to the hinterland of Guizhou."

    "Could it be that this old man really wants to advance the battle line to Zhenyuan Mansion? That ghostly place has narrow roads and high mountains and forests."The second step, in the next few days, the grand master can secretly transfer a cavalry from the Yuanzhou camp to ambush behind the Yupingguan camp, so as not to be noticed by the bandits. Another elite army can be dispatched to secretly sneak into the camp.  Take the trail on the south side of Nanshan Mountain, be prepared to suddenly enter Guizhou at any time¡ªthe number of ambushes in the Great Nanshan Mountain does not need to be large, but they must be elite and able to fight tough battles."

    "After the preparations for the first two steps are completed, then the third step can be implemented. In the third step, please ask Shun County King to launch the main attack, pretending to lure Gao Dejie's army out of the final battle, and first send a large army to the front of the pass to scold the formation.  It is of course better for the high-level Czech army to come out, even if it cannot be lured out, it can also play the role of paralyzing and exhausting the high-level Czech army, and then around the time of application in the afternoon, Lord Shunjun, you will suddenly exert your strength and attack Yuping.  Guan launched a fierce attack, forcing the Gaode Jie army to retreat. At the same time, our Dananshan ambush army suddenly entered Guizhou, detoured and went straight to Jiming Pass on the west side of Sizhou, cutting off the Gaode Jie army's retreat to Zhenyuan  , just in case!"

    "After forcing the Gaode Jie army to abandon Yuping Pass, you must not pursue it, Prince Shun, and continue to paralyze the Gao De Jie army. And Lord Shun, if you exert your strength in the afternoon, no matter how fast the Gao De Jie army retreats  In Sizhou City, the sky will be at least in the evening, when the sky is so high that the Jie army sees that you are not chasing the prince, and the men and horses are very tired, they must go to the city to rest, and win us time to close the door and beat the dogs!"

    "And then." Obai took the conversation, and said in a deep voice, "The ambushes behind our Yuping Pass battalion made a sudden effort to enter the pass overnight from the official road to attack Jiming Pass, and join hands with the elite troops who attacked Jiming Pass  Hold this pass and form a momentum of closing the door and beating dogs?"

    "The grand master is brilliant, that's exactly the case." Zhou Peigong said solemnly: "As long as we win the Jiming Pass and cut off the return route of the Gaode Jie army, our superior force can form a momentum of closing the door and besieging the dog, so as to achieve the goal of besieging the city and fighting for aid."  Tactical purpose. Even if something goes wrong during the period, and the barbarian who is so tall can see the flaw, as long as our ambush in Dananshan can reach Jiming Pass in front of him and temporarily block his retreat, it can also serve us  The rest of the army won the time for reinforcements! So the students repeatedly emphasized that the ambush army in Dananshan must be elite and must be able to fight hard and bloody battles!"

    Obai was silent. After staring at the sand table for a long time, Obai said slowly, "Send Zhao Liangdong to the road of Danan Mountain. He was the commander-in-chief in Zhenyuan before, so he is familiar with the road conditions. The ambush behind Yuping Pass, Lai Ta!  "

    "Teacher, so you agree to adopt the student's plan?" Zhou Peigong asked in surprise.

    "This old man is not our emperor. I don't know how to pretend to understand and I like to pretend to be smart. Your plan is good, and this old man will naturally accept it with an open mind." Obai said with a sneer: "If you have any good strategic plans in the future, feel free to ask the old man.  Alright, the old man will definitely accept it! You don¡¯t need to go back to Tuhai, the old man is also short of people here, so stay here as an offering for the old man, and the old man will explain to Tuhai.¡±

    "Slave Zhou Peigong, thank the grand master for rewarding him." Zhou Peigong was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on both knees, kowtowed to Oboi to thank him, so surprised that he didn't even notice that he used the wrong name.

    "Get up, I haven't promoted you, so you don't need to thank me." Aobai said lightly, "But as long as you work hard and give me some good ideas, I will treat you well in the future."

    "Of course, as long as I can sneak into your shogunate and gain your trust, even if you don't promote me, someone will promote Lao Tzu." Zhou Peigong smiled triumphantly in his heart, and said respectfully, "Grand Master, students still have  A suggestion, I hope the grand master will adopt it."

    "Say." Aobai replied.

    "Students suggest that the seven cuts in the Grand Master's military order be changed to six cuts." Zhou Peigong said cautiously.

    "Changing seven beheadings to six beheadings?" Aobai raised his eyebrows, and asked with a sneer, "Do you want to suggest to me, old man, to abolish the beheading of people who plunder people's property?"

    "How does this old man know?" Zhou Peigong was taken aback this time. He never thought that this seemingly stupid old man, Oboi, would have such a careful and foresight side.  In timidity, Zhou Peigong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The grand master is very aware of the details, it is true. In order to support the great war to pacify the Southwest, my Qing court has already stretched its treasury to make ends meet, and the old thief Wu Sangui and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have relied on the Eight Banners all these years.  Drugs are making huge profits, and the folks are already"

    "No." Obai interrupted, and said coldly: "I know what you want to say. The treasury has no money to reward the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers is not high. Wu Sangui and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have money. As long as the soldiers are bold enough to grab it, the morale will be sure.  It is extremely expensive, and it can also lighten the burden on the national treasury. But don¡¯t forget that this time, the old man is following the imperial edict to seek rebellion and pacify Yungui.  The old man will never allow it!"

    Zhou Peigong had no choice but to agree honestly, and Oboi snorted coldly again: "You will remember this old man, and you will give me such a bad idea in the future, be careful of your head!"
