The summer in the capital is particularly hot. Although the sky is blue, there is no cloud. The green grass on the ground is hot. There are two large ice cubes placed in the main hall of the Duke of Huaguo in Zhangjiazhuang, and seven watermelons cut in half are placed on it. The main hall of the Duke of Huaguo was changed to a military combat room. There are two combat maps of two meters long and wide hanging on the east and west sides. These two maps marked the situation of Shanxi, Shaanxi battlefields and the southern battlefields respectively. Generals from all walks of life were sitting neatly on both sides with staff armor. The climate in the capital is much hotter than outside the pass. The major military discussion of the Po Slave Army also requires all generals to be dressed neatly. Zhang Dashen sets an example and no one else dares.

Negative. In fact, Zhang Ping'an himself is also afraid of heat, but the military rules are so he can only send people to put two large jars on the main hall to spread large ice cubes to relieve heat and sweat. Today, the generals of the Central Clusters were mainly generals of the Central Clusters. The Hanshou Wenying Camp sent Chief of Staff Zhang Han to attend the meeting, and the Chief of the Conquest Camp was attended by Zhang Tong, the chief of staff of the General Manager of the Yiying Camp. The head coach Zhang Ping'an sat high in the middle, gnawing watermelon in his mouth, with an extremely focused and enjoying look. This Zhang Zheng likes to eat watermelon the most. He still has seven acres of good melon fields in Ponu City to plant watermelons, but the watermelons in the capital are already ripe and do not need to transport the melons he planted from Ponu City.

Zhang Ping'an ate half a watermelon before he initially satisfied his mouth. He grabbed a clean wet cloth from the coffee table beside him, wiped his hands and mouth covered with juice, and then burped with satisfaction. The general Zhang stopped eating melons, which indicates the official start of the military discussion. The time for the Pou Nu Army's southern expedition was determined in September this year. The combat climate was pleasant in autumn and the war horses were the strongest, which was very suitable for the Pou Nu Army cavalry to intersperse on a large scale. The generals of the Pou Nu Army who were sitting had seen a combat strategy formulated by the Chief of Staff earlier. Basically, they were prepared to carry out three major battles based on the canal as the center. Each battle was

The limit is 600 to 700 miles. The combat strategy of the General Staff is based on the farthest limit of material supply for the Po Slave Army. The strategy of the General Staff can be said to have been highly recognized by the generals. Originally, everyone believed that according to the General Staff, the main force of the Po Slave Army would push towards Nanping, and it would take several months to basically reach Nanjing. However, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the First Army, issued a command order, requiring all the generals of the Po Slave Army near the capital to go to the Duke of China's Mansion to participate in the military discussion. These old brothers who were familiar with the character of Zhang Dashen had a premonition that the combat strategy of the Po Slave Army had undergone major changes.

"Hmm! I'll talk about the serious business after eating it for many days. After thinking about it for many days, I plan to change to a new style of playing in the southern battle of the Po Slave Army. Of course, if you have any different suggestions, just make me responsible for the final decision!" Zhang Ping'an's opening remark made the generals present confused. Some smart people quickly reacted. Boss Zhang was trying to force his combat strategy. Those who didn't understand it were silent. They were already used to the arbitrary behavior of Zhang Dama in military deployment.

In terms of war, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Slave Army, has always been unique. In order to defeat the slave army, he wrote a memorial to the Ming court, turning off all political affairs and focusing on dealing with the situation. The Duke of China has been developing this attitude towards war for many years, and the chief assistant of the court, Yang Lian, also knew it well. With the sound of iron pieces of armor colliding, Zhang Ping'an, who stood up, walked under the chair. Sun Xigui, the deputy general of the guard in the main hall, quickly shouted at several guards for a while. They carried the chair away and placed the map of the south expedition to the east where the guards were sitting just now.

Sun Xigui also respectfully handed the teaching stick to Zhang Dashuai, and then retreated to the corner with the guards. Today, the marking map was personally conducted by Zhang Han, the chief of staff of the Harbin-State Wenxing Camp, and Zhang Dasai also used such ordinary trivial matters to show his closeness to Zhang Han. Zhang Dasai, holding the teaching stick, walked to the map, pointed the teaching stick to Yangzhou and drew a circle here. Zhang Han hesitated for a little, and pointed it from the east with a black arrow. It was obvious that Zhang Ping'an was extremely satisfied with Zhang Han's understanding of the Chief of Staff of the Harbin-State Wenxing Camp, and he nodded to Zhang Han with a smile.

However, the generals sitting were staring at the map one by one and fell into deep thought. After a while, they all focused their attention on Gu Xin, the chief of staff on the west side of the map, as if they were to find the answer from his face. However, Gu Xin's face was extremely awkward, and everyone secretly guessed that the chief of staff of Boss Zhang's strategy might not know. As expected, Zhang Ping'an used the teaching stick to pull three lines above the map, and Zhang Han immediately marked three black attack routes on the map. The western route mainly attacked Fengyang, Zhongdu, Nanzhili, and stayed in Luzhou Prefecture (

Today, Hefei). The attack route of the army in the east was starting from Huai'an Prefecture and finally stopped in Yangzhou. It seemed that they would join forces with the Zhengyi Camp, which was traveling along the sea route. The army in the middle was heading south along the canal line. Needless to say, the generals of the Po Slave Army were very familiar with this thousand-mile-interspersing tactic, but they were all sneak attacks on one or two war camps. It was the first time to intersperse such large-scale interspersing battles. Of course, they also saw that the General Zhang had made a decision to fight, and it would be useless if they made different suggestions.

Since we cannot object, all the old brothers began to discuss with the staff behind us how to implement the battlefield decision of Marshal Zhang. Although these generals did not say anything, they still had doubts in their hearts. The Slave Army has always attached the most importance to material supply in wars. In large-scale battles, the first thing we need to consider is the subsequent combat capabilities, and the food and grass are easy to deal with, and the generals are most afraid of the lack of ammunition in wars. Although the Slave Army faced the Ming army with weak combat power this time, the only advantage of the Slave Army was the cavalry left. This tactic of fighting to the death by relying on human life has always been Marshal Zhang.

I want to avoid the situation, why did Boss Zhang be so bold this time? Fortunately, Zhang Ping'an has the reputation of a general who always wins. When he is in charge, he doesn't believe that Boss Zhang will make such a low-level mistake. He heard Magistrate Zhang pointing to the arrow in the west and saying: "This western army is headed by Zhang Li, the commander of the Eagle Camp, and Huang Feihong's troops in the Water Dragon Camp cooperate with him. This time, your two troops do not bring artillery and crossbows, but only carry enough ammunition and a small amount of food, and reach Fengyang and Luzhou Prefecture, Zhongdu as fast as possible. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can't fight, you don't have to force it. It's better to make the defenders dare not leave the city."

After saying that, Zhang Ping'an pointed the trainee stick to the east and said, "This east and the east are composed of the Huang Zhi tribe of the Bailang Camp and the Du Yehe tribe of the personal military camp. The tactics are similar to those of the Xiongying Camp on the West and the Eagle Camp. My requirement for you is that you don't have to get too much trouble when encountering a large number of enemy troops that you can't eat, and try to pounce south near Gaoyouzhou, Yangzhou Prefecture. I still say the same thing, do not attack the city, and eliminate the enemy in the field as much as possible. Our middle army is responsible for capturing the city of resistance, but in this battle, the Slave-Breaking Army faces the elders and brothers of the same clan, and must not do the city massacre."

After saying that, Zhang Ping'an waved his hand, and Sun Xigui, who was very eye-catching, immediately brought the handsome chair and let the handsome Zhang sit down. A cup of warm green tea was served. Boss Zhang started drinking the tea comfortably. Zhang Li, the commander of the Eagle Camp, was a little restless. He stood up and asked Zhang Ping'an, "Master, have you finished the big battle like this?"

"Of course I've finished talking! What's wrong, Brother Li, what else do you have?"

Zhang Li was stunned by this rhetorical question. In Zhang Li's eyes, the military arrangement of Zhang Damao Zhang was really a joke. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern expedition today. Zhang Damao made such nonsense. No matter how the Huang Zhi tribe of the Eastern Army was close to the sea, their material replenishment came quickly, but it was not easy for him to replenish the damaged ammunition in the inland hinterland. Although he was a little dissatisfied, Zhang Li still asked with a smile: "Master, you can really make jokes about me. There is no problem with Huang Feihong's army intertwining, but you also have to help his subordinates consider Zuo Liangyu, the general of the thief in the west. His 500,000 troops are not a small number. If he has too many prisoners in the headquarters, he will not be able to take care of him. If you give me a mountain force, the subordinates will definitely complete this job successfully!"

"Hey! Otherwise, Brother Li can speak. With just tens of thousands of people, he dares to say that he can capture Zuo Liangyu's army of hundreds of thousands. I admire! I admire! What are your brothers anxious about? It's just June, and we have time to refine the strategy in September. I'm not hiding your brother, don't look at our Ponu Army's strong army, but once it's spread to tens of thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty, it's really inconspicuous. Our Ponu City hometown is still in the past. The newly captured Liaodong and Lelang Kingdom also need people to guard it, so Brother Li, don't rush to call the few soldiers. As for the general Zuo Liangyu, his character is not good, and his subordinates are almost a bunch of disasters.

People's beast soldiers. If you encounter this beast army, you need to treat it as Jiannu, and do not be ruthless." Zhang Ping'an's explanation made the generals present feel relieved for the time being. In fact, what they thought was similar to Zhang Li, but they did not dare to say it clearly. As for General Zhang, the beast army that must be annihilated by the Ming army Zuo Liangyu tribe, they were not disgusted. Since the early years of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu tribe gradually transformed into a wild beast army that was even more vicious than the rebel army. They took refuge in the people who escaped from the disaster and fled, burned, killed, robbed and robbed the occupied cities, and the beast soldiers passed by a hundred miles away.

However, Zuo Liangyu has always had a bad character and good luck, so they have never encountered the Possess Army. After the Dashun Army attacked the capital and changed the dynasty, Zuo Liangyu took advantage of the main force of the Dashun Army to capture Wuchang and once again consolidated his territory. When the pseudo-Southern Ming Dynasty was established, Zuo Liangyu, who held heavy troops, certainly looked down on Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong, who was supported by the four towns in Jiangbei. He always wanted to represent the court to fight against rebellion. However, the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, committed suicide in Wansui Mountain, and Zuo Liangyu lacked an orthodox reason. With the Xuantong Emperor Zhu Cilang ascended the throne and suppressed the thief generals.
