"Commander, before they attack us, it's better to leave early than to leave late, for one thing." Wendelexi looked at Mianxun with great solemnity and clasped his fists, "I heard what the commander said the day before yesterday. After thinking about it, Biao Xiu also thought about it again and again, and combined with the recent news about Wei Hui Mansion, Biao Xiu has a second worry."
As he said that, Wendelexi moved the two tea bowls on the tea table, took out the rolled map from his sleeve, and spread it on the tea table, "Commander, look, the two associates of Zhang Shusheng and Pan Dingxin They are all concentrated in Yuanwu, Xinxiang and Huixian. The main forces of Wu Changqing and Tang Diankui's two associations are also stationed in Wei Hui's city, with only three weak forces to defend it from Fengqiu to Huaxian in the east. This long river defense line. Of course, they can excuse it by saying that there are still thousands of local regiments and northern Henan defense troops supporting it. The court cannot see it, and the Tsarist Russians will be deceived for a while, but we are not stupid, they will not go Strengthening the Yellow River defense line that Mr. Li calls, but stationing troops next to us with a keen eye, why?"
"They are waiting for an opportunity to leave. And if we stop them, they will not hesitate to attack us!" Mianxun slapped the armrest of the seat hard and made a noise in his nose at the same time. Angry snort.
"The commander-in-chief is wrong." Wendelexi shook his head gently, "I thought so at first, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was not that simple."
"What?" Mianxun was a little confused.
"The commander-in-chief is only half right," Wendelexi pointed at the map with his hand. "If Li Hongzhang is really going to make a small move in the capital as Prince Yi guessed, then he will not Privately mobilize the soldiers and horses of these four associations to go to Beijing. Commander, please see, Prince Hui Mianyu is in Zhending. Although he will obey the instructions of the king of government, the power of the "post-party" is not small among the ministries under his command. In addition, Prince Hui is not a decisive person. If the troops who entered the capital on Li's orders passed their defenses, they would probably turn a deaf ear. However, the commander still underestimated Lord Ruilin's ability. Lord Ruilin has certainly suffered a lot. Li Hongzhang excluded him, but it was precisely because of this that Lord Ruilin made up his mind to fight against Li Hongzhang secretly. In fact, this can be seen from Lord Ruilin avoiding Li Hongzhang and staying in Zhangde Mansion." Speaking of this, Wendler Kersey paused deliberately.
"Thenwhat will happen?" Mianxun's brain was really slow, and he still didn't seem to understand.
"Among the Loyalty and National Salvation Army in the two towns on the East Road, excluding Weihui Town, the four associations in Zhangde Town are all second-line soldiers raised by stepmothers. How could Lord Ruilin not be so concerned about them?" Windluck Xi smiled softly, intoxicated by his super analytical power. "If Wei Huizhen's soldiers and horses go north, just imagine, how can they keep Master Ruilin from noticing? Obviously not. Then, considering the great opportunity to move to Li Hongzhang, Master Ruilin must not let it go easily. . Once the soldiers and horses of Zhangde Town take action, let alone most of them, as long as they move a single or a few signs, the soldiers and horses of Weihui Town will not leave. Because, under this attack, Prince Hui will be able to We can¡¯t pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore.¡±
Mianxun looked at Wendelexi for a while, then suddenly gave him a high-five and said, "Gao, Fang Yi's analysis is really brilliant." But then he thought again, and there was still something he didn't understand, "Then then, Li Hongzhang What does this bitch want to do?"
"This is in line with the commander's previous analysis. The soldiers and horses in Weihui Town are actually coming for you, the commander-in-chief, and Lord Ruilin." Wendelexi slowly rolled up the map and pondered for a moment. "Li Hongzhang wants to use the Loyalty and National Salvation Army as a bet to force the Russians to return power to the Queen Mother. Commander, think about it, isn't this the best opportunity now?"
"This" Mianxun, whose throat was dry after hearing this, had just picked up the tea bowl. He was so frightened by Windlexi's last words that he almost dropped the tea bowl. Yes, I thought about it, but why did I forget this? The Prince Regency was the regent. It was an opportunity for the Russians to rush for peace talks and raise troops. Now that the peace talks are at a deadlock, and the race has not yet been fully civilized, wouldn't the Russians, who have no integrity at all, try to change things again? rain?
"Damn it, if the Russian gets in the same boat as Li Hongzhang again, thenthen Prince Gong and the others will be in danger!" Mianxun was so excited that he couldn't help but use vulgar words.
"This is another reason why I hope that the commander-in-chief will come to Beijing quickly." Wendelexi put away the map and slowly stood up, "Commander, it doesn't matter if you leave quickly this time, you have to prepare yourself for the future. The Tsarist Russians are prepared to fight with real swords and guns."
"This" Wendelexi's words actually made Mianxun, who was originally ambitious, seem to feel a little guilty in his heart. Fighting the Russians? God, can we fight with so many Russians?
As if he had read through his mind, Windlexi smiled slightly again., "Moreover, this time the commander-in-chief cannot go to Beijing to assemble the troops from Peng and Gu Xie as previously arranged. In my humble opinion, the commander-in-chief will bring all the cavalry troops with him, plus Peng and Gu Xie. The two cavalry camps will first go to Handan via Zezhou and Lu'an, and then go north to Beijing."
"Wellthat's good." Mianxun was a little happy. The cavalry under Wendelexi totaled two whole standards and one battalion, plus the two cavalry battalions of Peng and Gu, as well as his own personal guard battalion. In this way, there were 100 cavalrymen who could follow him to Beijing. He gathered more than three thousand cavalry, and they were all elite. However, his real worries have not been completely eliminated. So, he looked at Windlexi again, hoping that he would continue talking.
"You don't have to worry, Marshal," the smart Windlexi said, as expected, he got to the point. "If before last night, I was still worried that Marshal might not be able to achieve a successful outcome, but now, this kind of worry has completely disappeared. There is no more."
"What?" Mianxun pretended to be stupid.
"Commander, I wonder if the Taiping Red Army coming from the north of the river has such great momentum, is it just targeting us?"
"How could that happen? Wewe didn't" Mianxun originally wanted to say, "We didn't go out of our way to offend the Taiping Red Army like Li Hongzhang did." But when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable to say them. If something happened, he quickly stopped talking and coughed twice.
"This is the beginning of their massive attack." Wendelexi nodded and smiled confidently, "Our entire front line must be suffering from them at the same time, especially the Tsarist Russians. If they hate us, they have already gritted their teeth. They hate the Tsarist Russians even more so. The Tsarist Russians have too much to take care of themselves. Even if they are willing to cooperate with Li Hongzhang, they don¡¯t have much strength in the capital. What¡¯s more, Prince Yi and the others have gone back, and Seng Gelinqin The prince will naturally return to Zhengding. Even if Prince Hui hesitates at that time, Prince Monk will definitely not sit idly by. In this way, maybe maybe Li Hongzhang's evil thoughts will be aborted. "
"Fangyi Fangyi, why didn't I see that your brother is so knowledgeable" Mianxun was so happy that he almost jumped up from his chair. "Okay, then according to my brother's wise idea, I will lead the troops to Beijing immediately. But" The cheerful Mianxun looked at Wendelexi again, and shook his head helplessly, "Oh, how can it be like this? The soldiers and generals are giving their instructions"
Wendelexi looked at Mianxun, who was caring about Facebook again, with a solemn look on his face, "Commander, there is something that I probably shouldn't say, but now that things have come to this, I have to say it."
"Fang Yi, you and I are close friends. What else can't be said between us?"
"Commander" Wendelexi was a little excited, "Commander, if the Qing Dynasty dies in the hands of Prince Gong, after all, the Manchus can continue to survive. But if the Qing Dynasty is already imprisoned in the Old Summer Palace, If a woman dies in the hands of a woman, then it will really be true to the saying spread among the people. The Manchus are afraid that one person and one horse will not be able to return to their hometown! That will not only destroy the Qing Dynasty, but also make the Manchus Extermination!"
