Chapter two hundred and seventy-two alienation plan
Zuo Liangyu, who holds heavy troops, has been one of the potential enemies on Gu Zhenhua's list. After all, this guy has done all his bad things and is still a potential traitor, and he has occupied such an important position in Huguang.
However, although he sentenced Zuo Liangyu to death in his heart, Gu Zhenhua had not yet made any effort to deal with him. However, Zuo Liangyu could not stand the loneliness first and entered the gate of hell first. It was really incredible!
"Mr. I think this is a god-given opportunity. We should take the opportunity to take action and get Huguang into our own hands."
Gu Zhenhua frowned and said, "Fake the pros and cons of everything, let's analyze first. What are the benefits of interfering in Huguang?"
"That's too many benefits!" Wu Kaijie said without hesitation.
"First of all, Huguang is a heavy grain-producing land, with a population of a little less than Henan. After annexing Huguang, our strength has increased by at least twice. Secondly, Huguang is important, guarding the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, entering Sichuan from top to strangle Zhang Xianzhong, and entering Jiangxi from bottom to bottom to control Jiangnan. Once again, our depth has expanded greatly. Even if we fight against the Tartars, we have a stable rear and can move forward and retreat freely. After extending our power to the Yangtze River, we can directly contact Shen Tingyang's navy without being controlled by the canal. In this way, overseas materials are transported in, our things are transported out, and we can trade, and provide a large amount of food and salary."
One, two, three, four, Wu Kaijie spoke like a cannon, and Gu Zhenhua nodded frequently when he heard it. Indeed, the role of Wuchang in later generations became more and more obvious. The nine provinces had a cannon sounded, and the Qing Dynasty, which had been buried for three hundred years.
As long as you occupy Huguang, no matter whether it is east, west, south, north, and freely advance and retreat, the entire chessboard will be alive!
"Let's talk about the disadvantages?"
"Yes." Wu Kaijie thought for a while and said, "Although Zuo Liangyu died, his son was still there, his generals were still there, and more than 100,000 troops were still there, they would never be willing to hand over Huguang: rashly annex the land and expand the territory. What would Nanjing think? To be honest, the struggle just now has damaged the prestige of the Duke. If it is not done well, it will be bad. In addition, Huguang is a place of four battles, and it cannot be defended without strong soldiers. Guan Yu occupied Jingzhou that year. In the end, he was defeated and died. The lessons of the past have to be taken care of!"
Speaking of this, Wu Kaijie felt a little distorted and hurriedly said, "Mr., I don't mean that. I mean guarding Huguang is not difficult..."
Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and smiled: "The main force of An Guojun must be placed in Henan. There are not many people who can be drawn. If he falls into the quagmire of Huguang, he might be really ruined!"
The delicious meal was placed in front of you, whether to eat or not is indeed a test of Gu Zhenhua's wisdom.
"Go and invite Mr. Li and the others over, and everyone will discuss a solution."
After Gu Zhenhua continued to explain, Li Jibo and others arrived one after another. When everyone heard that Zuo Liangyu was actually dead, they all felt extremely ridiculous.
But as sharp as Li Jibo, he realized that this was a god-given opportunity.
"The Duke of the State, who have accomplished great things since ancient times, all need a stable and stable rear. Henan has been war-torn for a long time, while Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong and other places are also heavily poisoned. Even if we can regain these lands one day, we do not have enough financial resources to manage them. Therefore, Huguang is determined to win, and no matter how much the price it costs, it must be kept in our hands."
Everyone listened carefully, and Li Jibo said again: "The Anguo Army seems to be strong, but in fact it is full of dangers. To put it bluntly, as long as we win a defeat, the entire Anguo Army will be at risk of collapse. This is the reason for the unstable foundation, and Huguang is a key step to consolidate the foundation!"
Li Jibo looked at the problem very accurately. Everyone was convinced by his words. Gu Zhenhua even smiled and said, "With Mr. Li's words, I can feel at ease and boldly."
As soon as he heard Gu Zhenhua's words, the generals present were ready to show their skills.
Li Jibo shook his head: "Dude, it is precisely because Huguang is important that he has to be cautious. I believe that he must use cleverness to achieve success. If he wants to do it recklessly, it will inevitably lead to rebounds from all parties, which is not worth the loss."
"Mr. Li, do you have any ideas?"
Li Jibo said: "Knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle, so let's ask you to wait for the etiquette first. Didn't he just come back from Wuchang?"
Gu Zhenhua turned his gaze on Xia Shouli and smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, what are your opinions?"
Xia Shouli smiled and said, "Mr. I am humble and do not understand military affairs, but I can tell you about Zuo Liangyu's subordinates. To be honest, the corruption of Zuo Liangyu's military disciplines, burning, killing, looting, and looting are simply indescribable. It is worse than that of bandits! Someone once submitted a memorial that said that the bandits are inexhaustible and useless, and they are all forced by officers and soldiers! In my opinion, it is not false at all. In Wuchang Prefecture, there are plundering and humiliation almost every day.
I had seen with my own eyes that more than a dozen soldiers entered the family, broke the male owner's legs, and snatched his wife and daughter out, not even letting his son down, not letting him go. They dropped the child on the beam of the house and played in shifts. While playing, they laughed endlessly, and they were extremely shameless. The male owner was so angry that his eyes were protruded from his eyes and died of bleeding."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Xia Shouli's words. Zhou Yingjie couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Mr. Xia, I often hear that bullying women, how can I still attack the little boy? Isn't this the same as a beast?"
Yue Polu sneered from the side: "In my early years, I heard people say that Zuo Liangyu won Hou Xun's favor by selling his butts, and he soared all the way. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. With such a shameless leader, how good can the people below be!"
"Damn it!" Zhou Yingjie punched hard and couldn't help saying: "Dude, such a beast must not be let go, they must pay off their debts with their lives!"
Gu Zhenhua's face was gloomy, "Mr. Xia, Zuo Liangyu is known as an army of 800,000 to the public. In your opinion, how many people do he have?"
Xia Shouli said: "There is absolutely no 800,000, but there are at least 300,000 to 400,000 people. The left side has a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. There are all kinds of people, so it is calculated based on 300,000 people. At least 200,000 of them are gangsters, bandits and robbers. In short, they are a group of bad people. They have no military discipline, just a bunch of locusts, and wherever they pass, the people complain! "
Xie Bin hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xia, how much combat effectiveness do they have?"
"Not really. I guess if there are 10,000 Anguo Army, they can beat them up!"
Xie Bin suddenly stood up, bowed and said, "Dude, since that's the case, I am willing to ask for orders to rescue the people of Huguang and destroy the left army while the chaos is taking advantage of the chaos!"
"I am willing to be humble!" Zhou Yingjie and Yue Polu also stood up and asked for orders.
At this time, Li Jibo suddenly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the left side is vulnerable in terms of combat effectiveness. But have you ever thought about it? If these hundreds of thousands of garbage cannot be killed in one fell swoop, they will escape to the place and do whatever they want. How many ordinary people will suffer! What's the use of taking over a dilapidated Huguang?"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately depressed.
Gu Zhenhua suddenly said: "Mr. Xia, there are so many people on the left side, isn't it just a solid piece?"
Xia Shouli hurriedly said, "How can it be? Yibeizhi's observation, the left part is divided into at least three parts."
Gu Zhenhua and Li Jibo looked at each other. They all showed joy. Gu Zhenhua hurriedly said, "Mr. Xia, please analyze it carefully."
"Abide by the order!" Xia Shouli thought about it and said, "First of all, Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng. He is the legitimate successor of Zuo Liangyu. General Zhang Yingyuan and others support him. In addition, Wang Yuncheng, he is Zuo Liangyu's number one general, and he does more moral things than Zuo Liangyu. He is cruel and powerful, and his power is second only to Zuo Liangyu. As for the third troop, Zuo Liangyu blindly expands his troops and refuses anyone. He surrenders a large number of bandits, including Ma Jinzhong, Zhu Tianxing Huizhong, Zhu Tian Jinshenghuan, Xiao Qinwang Wang Guangen, Shooting Tian Li Wanqing, Liu Bianzi Liu Hongqi and others. They hugged them into a group, led by Ma Jinzhong. The number of people is the most, but it is also the most chaotic and has the weakest combat power.
Gu Zhenhua leaned on the Grand Master's chair, squinted his eyes, and then smiled for a while, "Just start with these people!"
Li Jibo said: "When Zuo Liangyu died suddenly, his subordinates will inevitably have internal strife. We cannot miss this opportunity. If we can provoke their internal strife, we will win!"
At this time, Wu Kaijie also widened his eyes and laughed: "Mr. Master, I have an idea. Haven't we just sold some muskets? Now we are just using muskets to light a fire."
Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "Staff General Wu is full of bad water, so this task will be handed over to you. If you can really make internal conflicts in the left department, you will add a senior."
"Dude, don't worry, I promise to do things beautifully."
Gu Zhenhua looked at the generals again and said with a smile: "After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people, it is not a trivial matter to get messy. Ben Jue went to Nanyang to take charge. Xie Bin, you are responsible for leading two groups as the main force, Zhou Yingjie led two groups to support him, just waiting for the opportunity to mature and take down Huguang in one fell swoop!"
"Abide by the order!"
After everything was arranged, An Guojun's powerful machine started to operate quickly. Wu Shouye was the first to act this time, and he directly found Wang Yuncheng's mansion.
"Go to the Lord of the Town!"
Wang Yuncheng was wearing a filial piety uniform with tears on his face. It was obvious that Zuo Liangyu's sudden death made him very uncomfortable.
"I have something to say and fart, I don't have much time to pay attention to you."
"Master of the Town, the little man talked to Zuo Shuai before and wanted to sell the muskets to the army. He just delivered a thousand pieces. The little man got a batch of self-produced muskets and ten Fran machine cannons, but he didn't know who to hand them over. He had no choice but to find you. Please give me some advice."
"Made a fire gun?" Wang Yuncheng asked in confusion.
"That's right, I just don't use a fuse, I ignite it myself. I'm not afraid of rain and wind. Duke Ji's country won by relying on his own musket to attack Wu Sangui."
When Wang Yuncheng heard this, he nodded: "Okay, just give it to me. How much does it cost? I will pay you as usual!"
