Chapter 519: The Point of Wen'an
Although he was mentally prepared, Wen Anzhi was still shocked.
The hot air balloon team performed too perfectly and even burned down all the granaries of the Qing army in Hanzhong in one fell swoop.
In this way, the Qing army generals immediately ran out of food and were in a very passive situation.
Of course, Qi Cheng has to remember a contribution.
The merchant took advantage of the opportunity of transporting grain to the Qing army and accurately recorded the locations of each granary in the city, providing important support for the hot-air balloon team's attack.
If there is no Qicheng's intelligence hot air balloon team, it is equivalent to a headless fly, and can only fly around and run around to catch luck.
Of course this was just the first step in the Ming army's northern expedition.
Cut off the food and destroy the morale.
The next thing to do is to rely on hard power to win Hanzhong City.
If the Ming army could not recapture Hanzhong City under such circumstances, then don’t talk about the plan of the Northern Expedition and Revival.
Wen Anzhi immediately summoned his generals to discuss military information.
Including Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Li Dingguo, Zeng Ying and others.
He first explained to everyone the destruction of the Qing army's granary, and then deliberately paused and waited for everyone's reaction.
For a moment, the generals were very excited.
Yuan Zongdi clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to Lord Futai. The destruction of the Tartars granary is a good time for our army to launch a large-scale attack. Please also ask Lord Futai to order that the soldiers of the three armies can also work hard to kill the Tartars."
Tian Jianxiu also said, "Yes, Lord Futai. It is God's will to destroy the Tartars granary. This is a sign of the Ming Dynasty's revival."
Wen Anzhi stroked his beard and smiled, "When it comes to the destruction of the Tartar granary, this title should be recorded on Dingguo."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Dingguo? Why should he give him the first contribution?
Li Dingguo blushed in the face of such boasting, and he hurriedly said, "This is all the achievements of the Futai Master to plan and plan. The last general dare not take credit."
Wen Anzhi smiled.
"The credit is yours, and I will not rob it."
All the generals present looked at Li Dingguo, with different meanings in their eyes.
They really didn't expect Wen'anzhi to relied on a newly surrendered Western Army prince so much. After all, Hanzhong was the biggest stumbling block for the Sichuan Army to go north.
Wen Anzhi handed over the important task to Li Dingguo, which shows his full trust in Li Dingguo.
Speaking of broad-mindedness, Governor Wen is really nothing.
"Ben Fu asked you to come together to discuss the next plan."
He glanced at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Li Dingguo.
"Dingguo, let's talk about it first."
"I will obey the order."
Li Dingguo quickly clasped his fists and said.
"Now the Tartars' granary has been destroyed and the food is out of the blue. It is a good time for our army to attack north. Finally, the general thought that the Futai Lord should lead his troops to attack Hanzhong immediately."
Wen Anzhi nodded slightly and said, "I am just trying to do this. However, the geographical location of Hanzhong is very special. If you want to attack this place, you must take many mountain roads. Can Dingguo have any questions in his mind?"
Li Dingguo then continued: "Your Majesty Futai, I am quite familiar with the terrain near Hanzhong. I know a few unknown paths that can lead directly to Hanzhong City. I feel that I can transport troops from these paths to surprise attacks."
Wen'an was full of joy when he was once.
This Li Dingguo can always surprise him.
As he said before, the terrain of Hanzhong is very steep and it is difficult to transport troops on a large scale like on a plain. As long as the Qing army stuck a few key holes, it would be difficult for the Ming army to advance.
But Li Dingguo knew several paths, which would perfectly solve this problem.
“Very good.”
Wen Anzhi praised: "I will order you to be the vanguard general of the conquering captives to be responsible for this leading matter."
"I will obey the order!"
Li Dingguo was very happy.
Wen Anzhi was able to hand over the important task of taking the lead to prove that he had great trust in him.
Of course, Li Dingguo will not let down this trust.
He is different from his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong. Since he has already surrendered to Ming, he naturally wants to stay well, rather than both sides of the rat, and always think about rebelling again.
What's more, the current situation is completely different.
At that time, heroes emerged and the court was in turmoil.
Now that Li Chuang's old subordinates surrendered one after another, the West fell apart.
Even if Li Dingguo has thousands of abilities, he will never be able to turn things around.
"Zeng Ying!"
Wen Anzhi called another name.
"The last one will be here!"
Zeng Ying clasped his fists with both hands.
"I Fu ordered you to lead another army to attack Hanzhong from the front."
"I will obey the order!"
Although I felt a little unhappy, Zeng Ying had no other choice than to receive the order.
It is difficult to attack Hanzhong from the front, and the Tartars must have prepared very well.
Zeng Ying had already seen Wen Anzhi's intention, which was to use his offense on the front battlefield to attract the attention of the Tartars and to bring space and opportunities for Li Dingguo's surprise attack.
This destined that Li Ding's Congress made greater contributions than him in this battle.
"Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi."
Wen Anzhi clicked two more names.
"The last one is coming, the last one is here!"
The two of them clasped their fists one after another.
"I ordered you to lead your troops to attack the fortresses around Hanzhong. Be sure to remove them all, and not allow the Tartars to inform Guanzhong for help."
Wen Anzhi said solemnly.
"I will obey the order!"
Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi clasped his fists together.
Although the task of removing the outer fortress of Hanzhong is much less important than directly attacking Hanzhong City, someone will have to do this task.
Wen Anzhi's willingness to use them is already the greatest trust in them. They will naturally repay their kindness and use all their strength to complete the tasks assigned to them by Wen Anzhi.
"Where is Liu Fangliang?"
Wen Anzhi asked immediately.
"The last one will be here!"
When Liu Fangliang saw Wen Anzhi finally asked, he was a little disappointed, but he still obeyed the order respectfully.
"I want you to lead your troops to the mountain road where the Tartars retreat to Guanzhong in advance to block the attack. If the Tartars want to retreat, they must be wiped out."
Wen Anzhi said resolutely.
When Liu Fangliang heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
This task seems simple, but it is actually very important.
If the Tartars really can't beat them and want to escape, he will be the last line of defense to block the Tartars.
"The last general will receive the order!"
What Wen'an Capital should say is almost done, and all the generals have assigned specific tasks. Next, let's look at their performance in actual combat.
However, Wen Anzhi decided to say something at the end.
He cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is a wise monarch who is not born in the world. Your Majesty treats us like a national soldier, and we should repay us with the etiquette of a national soldier. Hanzhong is an obstacle to our entry into Guanzhong. If you want to take Guanzhong, you must seize Hanzhong first. Everything Benfu did before was to take Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Today finally has the opportunity, we must seize it. You are all people with courage. I hope you will do your best to make great achievements in this battle in Hanzhong and leave your name in history!"
