Secret Palm Chapter 43: Unprepared Attack

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Pingxiangzhou dispatched an army of ten thousand people for the first time, and all the generals who could go into battle came.  Zhou Er, Zhou Wu, and Zhu Ying each led 2,000 soldiers and horses as the front army. The most elite Zhennan Guard and Pingxiang Guard, 2,000 middle troops, were dispatched by Zhou Shixiong. Guan Chongguang led 2,000 auxiliary troops as the rear army, responsible for the entire army.  supply.  In order to ensure unexpected combat effects, the Pingxiangzhou Guards went out day and night and sneaked into Xuanguang Mansion on the day of the trade fair.

    Fan Huisheng, the military commander of Taiyuan Prefecture, is the elder brother of Fan Ganji, the master of the mansion. Fan Huisheng is not optimistic about the dispatch of troops to Xuanguang Prefecture.  Taiyuan Prefecture claims to have 50,000 troops stationed at the junction of Xuanguang Prefecture, but in fact it only has 21,000 regular troops and 9,000 people.  There is actually an elite force of 10,000 people stationed in Xuanguang Mansion. Considering the advantages of both the offensive and defensive sides, 10,000 elite soldiers are enough to withstand the attack of 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers.  If it hadn't been for the news from Lang Son Prefecture that Lang Son Prefecture had hired Pingxiangzhou Guards as the main force, Fan Huisheng would have refused to send troops.

    Although Fan Huisheng agreed with the combat effectiveness of the Pingxiangzhou Guards, he was dissatisfied with Lang Son's collusion with the Ming army.  When the Champa Kingdom was destroyed by Nguyen Phuc, the Ming Dynasty also had a share of the credit.  If the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops to annihilate the Ruan Phuc family in northern Cochin, it would not have forced the Ruan Phuc family to the south of Cochin.  Now joining forces with the Ming army to deal with Ruan Phuoc, Fan Huisheng, who had always regarded the Ming Dynasty as his enemy, naturally felt uncomfortable.

    Fortunately, Zhou Shixiong was not Ji Hongchang and did not take the coordinator seriously, otherwise he would only be defeated even if he came to Taiyuan Mansion. Fan Huisheng would be a ghost if he could listen to him.

    "Hongchang, Langba is an important military area. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to bypass it without attacking." After the Pingxiangzhou Guards assembled in Kuikun and held the first military meeting, Zhou Shixiong made an evasive decision as soon as he came up.  A false tactic, attacking Xuanguang City directly without attacking Langba.

    Guan Chongguang's objection expressed everyone's feelings. The four people in the tent all knew that Ji Hongchang was Zhou Shixiong, so there was no problem in communication. However, such an aggressive strategy still shocked several people.  Zhou Er and Zhou Wu did not dare to object openly and kept winking at Zhu Ying. Apart from Guan Chongguang, only Zhu Ying, the mistress in the tent, could persuade Zhou Shixiong.

    "Ms. Taiyuan Mansion sent 30,000 troops. If we send 10,000 or 40,000 troops, why can't we take down Xuanguang Mansion? Why take such a risk." Zhu Ying has grown very fast in the past two years, and the auxiliary soldiers she has trained have already  They were good soldiers that all the guards were fighting for. It was Zhu Ying who made a prompt decision during the first sneak attack on Benson. He brought a thousand of his most elite troops out of the city to ambush the soldiers of Beizhang Prefecture, and that was why Benson was put down so quickly.

    "Everyone, this tactic is very risky. You all thought of it. Didn't I think of it? There is a reason why I proposed this tactic! There are a few things you don't know yet. Zheng Du died, Zheng Zhuang forced Li Shenzong to become a Zen monk, Guangnan  The Fuqu family secretly sent people to form an alliance with the Ruan Phuc family to jointly resist Zheng Zhuang. What do you think after hearing these pieces of news?"

    Zhou Shixiong did not let Ma San send the news back to Pingxiang Prefecture. One was because he was afraid of leaking the secret, and the other was because he had no chance to meet with Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng to discuss it. Simply sending the news would only lead to chaos.

    Guan Chongguang didn¡¯t pay much attention to Jiaozhi. He thought for a while before connecting these several things. Wrinkle asked, "Hong Chang, are you afraid that once an alliance is formed, Nguyen Phuc Shou will take the opportunity to suppress Lang Son House?"

    "Suppress! If it's just to suppress me, I won't make any dangerous moves. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get my adoptive father's head. Ruan Fu Shou won't let it go." Zhou Shixiong repeated his words to Ruan Fu Bao to let his subordinates understand that Pingxiang  Zhou Shixiong's situation in this matter cannot save Ruan Fubao, and all Xiangzhou's previous efforts will be in vain. There is no point in Zhou Shixiong's fake death!

    Without Lang Son as an ally, the trade route would no longer be able to operate. Zhou Wu, who was in charge of transportation, reacted the most fiercely, "Master, why not transfer Zhou Hou to go directly into Tuyen Quang City and kill Ruan Phu Shou? This will have a higher success rate."

    "Without an overwhelming victory, the other two heads of the Ruan Phuc clan will not accept Ruan Phuc's appointment as the head of the Ruan Phuc clan. Once a melee breaks out, Zheng Zhuang will only be benefited in the end." Guan Chongguang quickly smoothed things over.  Relevant information, understand that this battle must be fought, and fought beautifully.

    "Only by conquering Tuyen Quang Province and seizing Nguyen Phuoc Thuy can we force his sons to put down their force and surrender. If we have to attack each city one by one, there are eight towns in Tuyen Quang Province. We may not be able to win them all in half a year. I don't have time to fight a protracted war, and others can't.  We will not be given the chance to fight a protracted war!" All that needs to be explained has been said. The tactics that hit the heart must be implemented. How to better achieve this goal requires serious discussion.

    "There are three towns around Xuanguang City, and Langba has the most troops. If Langba sends troops to attack Xuanguang City while we are waiting, our ten thousand troops may not be able to withstand it." Guan Chongguang reiterated the importance of Langba,  I hope Zhou Shixiong can change his mind.

    Zhou Shixiong recalled the information about the war in his memory for a while, and finally thought of a more suitable method.  "Cheng Peng, do you think this will work? Let's surround Langba City first, lead Xuanguang City to send troops to rescue, and then concentrate our elite troops to ambush the Xuanguang City reinforcements."?After destroying the support troops, pretend to attack Xuanguang City. If the Xuanguang troops in Langba City go out to rescue them, turn around and eat them.  As long as these two battles can succeed, Xuanguang City will have no troops to defend.  "

    The vivid name for this tactic is encirclement and reinforcement. The prerequisite for realizing this tactic is to have sufficient troops without scaring the enemy from leaving the city.  According to the information sent by Taiyuan Prefecture, there are four thousand Xuanguang troops in Xuanguang City and Langba City respectively. The Xuanguang Army that defeated Zhou Er last time is in Xuanguang City.

    "Ten thousand is too much. It's better to leave the Chinese army to guard the border. If there is any change, they can rush to help." Zhou Er wanted Zhou Shixiong to stay for the first time. There was nothing to say about his loyalty, but Pingxiangzhou, who was in danger of recruiting troops,  , there is really no way to give up two thousand elites just to protect Zhou Shixiong.

    Guan Chongguang shook his head, "Hongchang, why don't you take the guards of Lang Son Palace here to wait for news? I'm afraid that Hongchang has really gone to the front line, and these guys won't be interested in fighting anymore."

    Zhou Shixiong smiled and waved his hands, "My wife went to the battle to kill the enemy, but as the husband-in-law, she hid in a safe place and watched the fun. It doesn't make sense. You don't have to persuade me. I won't fight with you when we charge into the battle. You won't let me go to the front line."  possible."

    Zhou Shixiong did not suddenly become brave, but because he had to go.  Ji Hongchang's identity forced him to go.  If he hides in Kuiqun and waits for news, adjectives such as greedy for life and fearful of death, cowardly as a mouse, etc. will be spread to everyone through the word of mouth of the guards.  When Nguyen Phuc returns to Tuyen Quang Palace, he will not hand over Lang Son Palace to Ji Hong Chang. Who has such a bad reputation and is qualified to take charge of a palace!

    The Lang Son Trade Fair is very popular. Many merchants just come to see the excitement and find that this kind of trading and ordering fair has great business opportunities. Suppliers and sellers discuss prices face to face and place orders, avoiding the exploitation of middlemen to the greatest extent.  Both the seller and the buyer felt they had made a huge profit.

    Ruan Phuc Luo Min has long lost his mind to do business. He has been forcing Ruan Phuc Shou to do business these days, hoping that his nephew will put the interests of the clan first and at least cancel the alliance with the three houses and give up his hostility towards Ruan Phuc Shou.  After Ruan Phu Bao was bewitched by his adopted son, he felt that his uncle's request was unreliable no matter how much he thought about it. Although he refused forcefully due to his lack of kindness, it was impossible for him to agree.

    In fact, the saddest thing is not Nguyen Phuc Bao, but Nguyen Phuc Thuy who may unify the Nguyen Phuc clan.  Lang Son Prefecture organized this trade fair and auction in response to Nguyen Phuoc Thuy's plan to equally divide Bac Giang Prefecture. Nguyen Phuoc Thuy would certainly not send people to Lang Son Prefecture to embarrass himself and miss a good opportunity to form an alliance with the Quang Nam District clan.  Someone asked the Au brothers why they did not go directly to the head of the Nguyen Phuc clan, but instead went to Lang Son House to find Nguyen Phuc Lok Min. This question is really not an ordinary childish question.

    If the two countries want to form an alliance, they must first send people to contact each other to test it out, and after the entire framework is negotiated, it is the turn of the big bosses to come forward to sign the contract.  If the Au brothers rashly approached Ruan Phu Shou directly to discuss an alliance, Ruan Phu Shou would definitely think that the Quang Nam Mansion was setting him up.  Because both the Quang Nam Mansion and the Nguyen Phuc clan are the second-ranking forces of the two countries, and they are also suppressed by the king who has a rightful name. Once the private alliance between the two families is exposed, it is almost inevitable that they will become the public enemy of the whole country.

    Quang Nam House and Nguyen Phuc Clan are in principle the backbone of their respective forces. If this is a conspiracy and Nguyen Phuc Shou is fooled, even if Nguyen Phuoc Clan has the power of the three houses, they will not be able to avoid being wiped out.

    Why did Nguyen Phuoc Loc Min trust the words of the Au brothers so easily?  Because I understand.  Nguyen Phuoc Loc Min knew the Au brothers and the current situation in Quang Nam Prefecture. He only needed to investigate the changes in Thanh Hoa to confirm whether what the Au brothers said was true or false. Ruan Phuoc Thuy did not have this information and convenience.

    When the Au brothers did not come to Lang Son Prefecture, they did not know much about Lang Son Prefecture¡¯s capture of Beijiang Prefecture and the forced support of Nguyen Phu Shou and Zheng Zai.  In this era, information could only be spread by letters. Of course the Au brothers were very concerned about the news about Thang Long Province, but Lang Son Province, which was far away in the east of North Vietnam, was too far away from them and there was no need to pay attention.

    Nguyen Phuc Lok Min has been trying to convince Ruan Phuc Bao. Of course, the Au brothers are a little puzzled. Although they have come up with one or two good ideas to make a little fortune in a poor valley like Lang Son, in the eyes of a family with a long history like theirs,  Can't get on the stage at all.

    "Brother, has this old fox Nguyen Phuc Lomin become so confused? Why do you have to persuade this Ruan Phuc? Can Lang Son Palace really withstand the pressure of the entire Nguyen Phuc family!" Ou Zhongda complained in the guest house.  Originally, I wanted to see a trading model that I had never heard of before, but now I am not in the mood for important matters in the clan. I just hope to go to Tuyen Quang Mansion with Ruan Phuoc Luo Min as soon as possible to finalize the alliance.

    "Let's keep a close eye on the specific situation. Since Mr. Ruan Phuc wants to do this, of course he has his reasons. I have heard some things in the past few days. Ruan Phuc Shou has suffered several losses at the hands of Lang Son House and has suffered a lot.  Soldiers and horses, now it is hard to say whether Ruan Phuc Shou can still order Ruan Phuc! It may be for this reason that Mr. Ruan Phuc must persuade Ruan Phuc to reconcile." Uncle OuThe guess is basically reliable, and he is worthy of being the successor to the head of the palace.
