In the 47th year of Wanli, the Battle of Sarhu was involved in the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin and North Korea, and the details were difficult to completely understand. However, as the commander of Liaodong, Yang Hao, the general manager of Liaodong, was full of stupidity in the entire Battle of Sarhu from the early operation to the late decisive battle, and it was full of stupidity in civil servants leading troops.

The total strength was less than twice as strong as the Later Jin army, but it divided the troops into four groups on an arc of 200 kilometers, and the generals were not in charge of each other. Yang Hao, as the commander, did not join the army to join the war, stayed in the Jingliu Mansion to watch the success or failure, which made the Ming army, which was not very strong in its military strength, completely became four armies and put the priority advantage into others. What's more serious is that Yang Hao compiled a letter to Nurhaci early, saying that he would send 470,000 troops to fight, thinking that he was intimidated. Ten days after the Ming army's oath-taking meeting, the Ming army began to send troops in sequence according to the distance from the final destination Hetuara, clearly imagining that he was scaring the Later Jin army back to Hetuara with great words to defend Hetuara to complete the strategy of encirclement. However, he did not know that his route of troops had already been known to Nurhaci, and the defeat was a foregone conclusion.

"It must be that the Yushan garrison leaked military information, what does it have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Chen Wen sneered. "Look, like Yang Hao, he still threw the blame on the warriors, and it seemed that there were no other tricks. Since that's the case, I will explain it to you today."

"Cao Fujun, do you remember the plan you asked me to attack Taizhou when you first arrived in Jinhua?"

Before Cao Conglong was touched by his anger, Chen Wen continued to say to himself: "Split the troops from Dongyang to Tiantai, attack Xianju from Yongkang, and then attacked Ninghai on the northern line, and joined forces with Dingxi Hou to siege Linhai. But that's the case?"

"You have said it before!"

"Yes, I did say that. When I heard this plan, I first thought of the Battle of Sarhu. At that time, Yang Hao divided the troops and attacked the army with less obvious advantages, and saw that the Tartars could defeat each of them. However, I didn't expect that the plan you planned alone would be even more stupid."

"presumptuous!"

Seeing Cao Conglong extremely angry, Chen Wen was not moved. "The core of the way to use troops is to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and to form a situation of more and less on the battlefield as much as possible. If an absolute military advantage cannot be formed, then you must try to weaken your opponent."

"I chose a relatively narrow area in Siming Mountain two years ago, which made the strength and the advantages of the troops and military configuration of the Thunder Battalion could not be exerted. I could only be hung up and beaten by our army's formation with both offensive and defensive attacks on the mountain road with one side of the cliff and the other side of the stream. Even so, I still divided the parts and almost no chance to fight with the Tartars to occupy the bamboo forest on the flanks in order to attack sideways."

"I have said before that the Qing army in Taizhou is divided into two parts. The green camp in Taizhou is more than 2,000 troops and the Navy in Taizhou is 3,000 troops. Together, it is a large army of 5,000 war soldiers. If you launch a rebellion, you only have those Luo Chengyan people, three or four hundred soldiers. Attacking Taizhou is nothing more than hoping for the garrison I stayed in each county. However, the northern line cannot be removed, and even if all the remaining ones are surrendered to you, there are only more than 1,000 people. Even if I am entangled in Quzhou by the Tartars, how many soldiers can you have?"

"What's even more stupid is that you have cut off the supply of the army's food and grass. If the army has no food, it will be scattered. The army in Quzhou collapses. Do you think Chen Jin will sit by and watch you attack Taizhou? At that time, all the elite troops in Zhejiang Tatars gather together. Even if you successfully take Taizhou and join the army of Dingxi Hou, how many war soldiers will be there in total? I'm afraid that even half of the Tartars will be insufficient. At that time, your plan will be nothing more than to send His Highness the Superintendent to the Tatars' mouth. It's extremely stupid."

"you!"

"What are you, Cao Fujun, you have planned hard, have you never thought that I would confront the Tartars in Quzhou and surrounded Chen Jin in the prefecture. Even the Chuzhou Green Camp, which was only one battalion, was afraid that the Tartars would be angry and sent troops to the Jinyun County, which you abandoned, but why did the Taizhou Tartars not move?"

There is also the Yanzhou Green Camp, but if Yanzhou is captured by the Ming army, Hangzhou will be threatened. In addition, Yanzhou itself has not had many soldiers left, so there is nothing abnormal about it without movement. However, Taizhou is completely different. Such troops have not moved so far. Even though the terrain is not conducive to the army being close, it is indeed a bit incredible that there is no harassment.

"The terrain between Taizhou and Jinhua is not conducive to the closeness of the army, but the mandarin duck formation of our troops is more powerful. I have more than 600 garrisons in Dongyang County, Yongkang County itself has 200 garrisons, and Wuyi County is backed by Wuyi County. In addition, Yongkang River is connected to Dongyang River, Taizhou General Ma Xin is not stupid at all. This person can be said to be the most important among the Tartar generals in Zhejiang now. He knew that he would not be able to get it well, so he simply watched the success or failure."

"But if you want to watch success or failure, and when it is not conducive to the king's army, the information must be kept up. At present, the entire Jinhua Prefecture, especially Fucheng, Dongyang and Yongkang, have a large number of spies from Taizhou. You have written all the plans to attack Taizhou from Yushan Town. Wouldn't the spies sent by Ma Xin be blind?"

"According to the captured green camp soldiers in Taizhou, Ma Xin had already concentrated a battalion's troops in Tiantai County. After confirming that you launched a rebellion, Yushan Town hoarded warehouses, he quickly arrived, and then marched and rushed into Yushan Town to burn the warehouses. Even if I was entangled in Quzhou by the Tartars, when you finished training the troops, Yushan Town's warehouses would be gone hundreds of times, without food and grass and military weapons. Will you go or not to Taizhou at that time?"

"I said before that if you want to march into Taizhou, you must first contact the threat from the rear. I have a bastion in Hangzhou. As long as I eliminate the Tartars in Quzhou, the strategic initiative on the entire Zhejiang battlefield will be re-taken by the King's Army. At that time, it will be easy to collect the prefectures in southern Zhejiang and welcome the Superintendent of the Superintendent from Taizhou or Wenzhou to return to the palace, but now all the previous efforts are wasted."

"So, from the beginning, the rebellion you launched and then sent troops to Taizhou was not possible at all. It was just to return all the strategic advantages gained by the king's hard battle to the Tartars!"

"It's already polite to say that you are no different from Yang Hao. At least Yang Hao also knows that he bluffs in his letter to Lao Nu and pushes the exact time of sending troops for half a month to gain time. And you make the most important warehouses public. Have you never watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when you grow up so old, and don't know how Yuan Shao lost in the Battle of Guandu?!"

Chen Wen said in one sentence that Cao Conglong was not a fool. When it comes to military use, Chen Wen won consecutive battles, and even Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, praised them. These words were even more reasonable and well-founded. He was already furious and sat down on the chair as if he had pulled all his strength in his body. It was not until a long time later that Cao Conglong, who had grabbed a trace of life-saving straw, recovered again.

"Then tell me, even if I lack troops, there are still more than 10,000 troops under the command of the Marquis of Dingxi. Since Jinhua and Taizhou are not conducive to the closeness of the army, why can't the royal army use the advantage of the terrain to defeat the Tartars?"

Seeing Cao Conglong gasping and staring at him, Chen Wen did not rush to answer, but filled the empty cup, then drank it all in one gulp, and then smiled bitterly:

"Because I know that in 1651 AD, after the Battle of Zhoushan, the Qing army completely destroyed the Ming army in the inland Zhejiang. Whether it was Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, or Zhang Huangyan, the later Minister of War, the remnants of the Ming army in Zhejiang who were attached to Zheng Chenggong, did not attack the inland prefectures."

"Because I know that in 1652 AD, Li Dingguo first killed Kong Youde and then killed Nikan. After the two famous kings were slumped, the forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty fell back to the bottom again due to internal strife and distrust."

"Because I know that in 1662 AD, with the failure of the previous Battle of Mopanshan and the Battle of Nanjing, the Emperor Zhu Youlang of Yongli, King Li Dingguo of Jin, and Prince Zheng Chenggong of Yanping passed away one after another in this year. Two years later, with the death of Linguo Duke Li Laiheng and Minister of War Zhang Huangyan, the anti-Qing movement with the slogan of reviving the Ming Dynasty, was completely overthrown on mainland China, and the Chinese would become slaves of barbarians in the next two hundred years."
