Chapter 242 The Real Test Begins!
"Shanghata Dun, Xiuyan, Da Ling Dun, Shaozi River..."
Naha stood in front of the map of Liaodong, muttering about the news brought back by the scouts, and his eyes kept moving on the map.
In just one day, six small tribes of more than a thousand people were plundered by Zhu Di, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.
All the centurions of the tribe were killed.
He was a little happy.
For a long time, their Yuan Dynasty has implemented two systems, and the Central Plains has used the central centralized system of the Han people.
The Mongolian tribal pattern is still preserved outside the customs and on the grasslands.
After evacuating from Dadu, he retreated to Liaodong with a Central Plains ruling team.
This is his direct lineage.
And the tribes, large and small, scattered throughout Liaodong, have always treated him as if they were distant.
Although Mongolian.
But he knew very well that if he wanted to compete with the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols' loose model of tribal alliances would not be able to fully unleash their strength.
Today's Mongolia is no longer the Mongolia of Genghis Khan's time.
Now the Mongols are very embarrassed. The incomplete Chineseization has caused them to lose their ancestors, who were brave enough to survive without fear of death, but they are unwilling to organize like the Central Plains people.
Therefore, he has always wanted to establish a strict hierarchical system in Liaodong, similar to that of the Han people in the Central Plains, to centralize power, manpower, and material resources.
But the tribes living in Liaodong were in conflict.
Even Wang Ting was worried that he would not lose his tail, and was ambiguous about his proposals, and secretly encouraged the tribes in Liaodong to resist him.
As a result, he was never able to complete the concentration of power.
He had long wanted to kill these countless centurions and thousands of captains in Liaodong.
However, the titles of these people were all awarded by Wang Ting Zheng'er.
Zhu Di, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, did what he wanted to do.
But now, he is more angry!
So outrageous!
A turtle in a urn, only more than two thousand people, no! There were only a few thousand damn people!
As the scouts contacted the herdsmen of the destroyed tribe, it was determined that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty only had more than a thousand people!
Zhu Di's behavior was like riding on Nahachu and slapping him in the face.
If Zhu Di's head is not cut off and displayed among the tribes in Liaodong, his face as the King of Liaoyang will be completely lost.
"Li Fanguo, what do you think the fourth prince wants to do?"
Li Fanguo, who was lost in thought, heard the sound and came back to his senses. He glanced at Naha Chu and said, "This is a classic play method of your Mongolians. You don't know what the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty wants to do?" It's nothing more than forcing me to board your pirate ship! ’
Naha turned his head and looked coldly. Li Fangguo hurriedly spoke, "Your Majesty should be most familiar with the tactics of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that when the Mongol Empire started its Western Expedition, it fought wherever it went. When it encountered a powerful enemy, it With the advantage of cavalry, we constantly lead the enemy around, then look for weak points, defeat them with one blow, and quickly break away until the enemy is defeated..."
His father also served as Qianhu in the Yuan Dynasty.
Follow the Yuan Dynasty to wipe out the Red Turban Army in the Central Plains.
According to his father, as a servant soldier, he also went to Jinling, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty.
And Goryeo was conquered by the Mongols very early.
They understand the Mongols better than the Han people in the Central Plains.
The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than that!
It's a pity that he can't use his talents here.
He really felt itchy and wanted to personally command a troop of soldiers and horses to capture the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and make him his prisoner!
'It's a pity that I come from a small country like Goryeo. I have the talent to crush the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty to death, but I can't offend this man...'
Naha glanced at Li Fanguo in surprise, "What would you do if you were asked to take command?"
His thoughts were interrupted, Li Fangguo came back to his senses, and suddenly became even more itchy. He wanted to make suggestions, but he was worried.
Naha responded with a smile and said irritatingly: "I just want you to express your thoughts, and I don't want you to lead the troops to fight against the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. After leaving my royal tent, you don't admit to giving me advice. You can’t catch wind and shadow in the Ming Dynasty, right?”
Li Fangguo was a little moved. He really wanted to experience the feeling of stepping on the prince of the Central Plains Dynasty under his feet.
This kind of thing is too attractive to heroes from a small country like them.
"Then Li Fanguo is bold!" After all, Li Fanguo couldn't resist the strong temptation. After saluting, he turned to look at the map, "The fourth prince Ming's purpose is very clear, which is to anger the prince and ask him to mobilize troops, find loopholes, and break out."
…
"At the same time, the prince must also be careful. Commander Feng of Liaodong rescues the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, Commander Feng will definitely attack with all his strength..."
Naha deliberately looked like he was listening patiently.
Feng Sheng will definitely take action.
Even if he was unable to quickly deal with Zhu Di, if Feng Sheng felt that he had an opportunity, he would give him a vicious blow.
He and Feng Sheng have always cooperated with each other and calculated against each other.
"So, if the prince must hunt down the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and snatch back the imperial seal, he must tighten his pockets..."
"Heavy troops must be deployed along Haizhou, Polo Pot, Yingkou, Dongshengbao east of Dongchang Fort, Guchengtun, and Anshan Station!"
"On the one hand, we should be prepared for the Liaodong Ming army to break in, and on the other hand, we should be prepared for the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty to get out of his pocket."
The pocket was tightly tied, and the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty used swimming tactics to constantly mobilize Naha's troops.
You can never get out of your pocket.
"Next, the prince can mobilize the entire Liaodong army to start a cat-and-mouse game against the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, who is the mouse that got into his pocket!"
Nahachu nodded, as he thought.
However, he hoped that Li Fangguo would take the initiative to speak out.
This young man was clearly eager to try.
If he was guided to participate slowly, he would not be able to resist and would participate more deeply.
In the end, he might not be able to hold back and personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress the fourth prince of Ming.
First, lure Li Chenggui's son to his boat, and then force Li Chenggui to board his boat!
Li Chenggui is now stationed on Wihwa Island in the Yalu River.
The Goryeo people's calculations were crackling.
It was clear that they wanted to wait for the Ming Dynasty to attack him in a large scale, and then bite a piece of meat off him.
It would be even better if Li Chenggui could be forced to come down personally this time.
Thinking of this, he immediately put away his thoughts, smiled and patted Li Fangguo on the shoulder, turned around, and glanced at the generals behind him, "Order the troops in Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Luda, Xinjin and other places south of Gaizhou, as well as all the centurions of the tribes in these places, to withdraw 80% of the troops to the north!"
...
Liaodong is too big. Of his 200,000 direct descendants, 100,000 stayed in his old nest Liaoyang, and the other 100,000 were scattered across the land of Liaodong, and they couldn't even make a splash.
However, troops are not needed south of Gaizhou now.
Unless the Ming Dynasty can break through the Bohai Strait and land directly from Fuzhou, Jinzhou and other places.
Now he has withdrawn about 80% of the direct descendants from these places to the north, and together with the tribal dispatched troops from these places, at least 50,000 people can be raised.
Another 20,000 will be allocated from the troops brought this time.
A total of 70,000.
Feng Sheng in the Ming-controlled area commanded a total of 18 guards, each with 6,500 people, and the total force was only a little over 100,000.
Even if Feng Sheng really wanted to plot against him, he could only mobilize 60,000 or 70,000 at most.
He used 70,000 troops to build a pocket, which was enough!
If he couldn't surround and kill the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, before the Ming army broke through his pocket defense line, he would just wash his neck and commit suicide!
He couldn't afford to lose this man!
"Gao Ba Si Temur, Qiedi Buhua."
"Here!"
The two generals who were named responded loudly and stood up.
"This pocket line will be arranged according to what Li Fangguo suggested just now." Nahachu glanced at Li Fangguo.
After Li Fangguo's face was excited, it flashed away and he silently clenched his fists.
Nahachu saw it all and smiled obscurely. Young people are competitive and want to fight with the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, so they are not afraid that Li Fangguo will not take the bait.
Then he continued: "Gao Basit Temur is the chief general, and the commander of ten thousand men, Qiedi Buhua, will lead 10,000 troops. They will set out tomorrow morning and go to Gaizhou. Keep close watch on Zhang Yu for me."
Although Zhang Yu and Zhu Di did not meet in Gaizhou.
But he still did not dispel his suspicion that Zhang Yu colluded with the Ming army.
Besides, after destroying Zhu Di, this troublemaker had better stay quietly in Gaizhou.
After he kills Zhu Di, he will come back and clean up slowly!
…
"Report!"
The hurried voice outside the tent interrupted Nahachu.
A scout rushed in breathlessly, "Your Highness, Zhang Yu suddenly evacuated Gaizhou after nightfall, and sent someone to tell the Ministry of Personnel that he would lead the troops to personally hunt down the Fourth Prince of Ming for the Royal Court. Please do not misunderstand me..."
"Zhang Yu said that we should now unite against the enemy and work together to capture the Fourth Prince of Ming for the Royal Court..."
"Zhang Yu also said that as long as the Fourth Prince of Ming is captured, he is willing to hand over the Imperial Seal and the Fourth Prince of Ming to the Prince, and give the credit for asking the Royal Court for credit to the Prince. If the Prince insists on targeting or attacking his troops during this process, he will bring the case to the Royal Court with the Prince!"
...
Gaga...
Nahachu gritted his teeth.
What you fear will come true!
He was half a beat slower again!
This troublemaker participated in the joint encirclement and suppression of the Fourth Prince of Ming?
Still unite against the enemy?
Work together?
He couldn't be sure now whether this troublemaker shared the same hatred with him or the fourth prince of Ming!
The Yuan Dynasty's national public child view suddenly stood up, "Your Highness, whether it is to encircle and suppress the fourth prince of Ming or to deal with Zhang Yu, we must first tie up our pockets and not waste any more time!"
Nahachu woke up from his anger.
Yes.
Time is running out.
"Go to Fuzhou, Jinzhou and other places to send messages immediately. If any of them cannot arrive within one day, kill them!"
Jinzhou and Fuzhou are not far from here.
But he also knew the morality of the Mongols. If he didn't show some deterrence, these people might not arrive in three days while herding horses and sheep.
"At the same time, send people to warn the tribes of all sizes in Liaodong and order all tribes to participate in the encirclement and suppression!"
...
At the same time.
Southeast of Dapanling.
Not long ago, the tribe whose centurion was killed by Zhu Di and others.
The herdsmen who escaped just came back.
They were taken care of by Zhang Yu who evacuated Gaizhou.
Zhang Yu waved his hand and directly annexed the tribe that lost its centurion.
He sent the bald Zheng Shilong to follow the trail left by Zhu Di's march, and he followed slowly behind with most of the troops and the people of the tribe, driving cattle and sheep.
Zhang Qu rode a horse beside Zhang Yu.
He turned his head and looked at the women driving cattle and sheep behind him, and the old people and children sitting on the carts, and grinned happily: "Minister, it's rich, we have made a fortune along the way, and our tribe may grow into a tribe of 200,000 or 300,000!"
Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile, "It's too early now, it depends on Nahachu's reaction, but even if Nahachu obstructs us, we can expand several times this time."
In the words.
Zhang Yu looked worriedly and looked forward.
All the plans of the fourth brother were to mobilize Nahachu's troops.
But what if Nahachu is not mobilized?
The fourth brother is deeply trapped in the Yuan-controlled area, and will slowly wear himself out in the mobile warfare.
...
Zhang Yu's worries were soon verified.
Two days later.
Zhang Yu took advantage of the way, slowly followed Zhu Di, and came to Qingtai Valley for a short rest.
The scouts who were left behind to monitor Nahachu caught up with him.
"Minister, the King of Liaoyang has drawn 50,000 troops from Fuzhou, Jinzhou and other places, and left 20,000 direct descendants, with Gao Ba Si Temur as the chief general..."
This pocket is so tight! This is going to trap the ghost fourth brother to death!
Zhang Yu clenched his fists.
Then he asked: "Where is Nahachu?"
"The King of Liaoyang is constantly ordering the tribes along the way to send troops, gathering troops while dividing the army into three routes and pressing behind us!"
Zhang Yu shook his head.
Although he took advantage of the situation.
But the ones he picked up were not Nahachu's direct descendants, but the original small tribes in Liaodong.
Even if Nahachu gnashed his teeth in hatred, it was highly unlikely that he would tear his face off with him.
The three armies, from west to east, continued to recruit soldiers from the tribes along the way, and the military strength would become more and more heavy.
This was to continuously squeeze the fourth brother!
As expected, Nahachu had already issued warnings and orders to the direct lineage and tribes further east. It was highly likely that he would advance from east to west, using the method of fighting a stupid battle and relying on the advantage of the sea of people to crush the fourth brother.
After sending away the scouts, Zhang Yu whispered to Zhang Qu: "You go to Tongyuan Fort in person, tell my fourth brother these news, and ask him what cooperation he needs?"
After Zhang Qu left.
Zhang Yu frowned and looked at the east and west sides, thinking, if it was him, how would he break the deadlock...
These two days, the fourth brother had been smooth sailing, and he easily pushed down more than a dozen tribes in a row, and even gave him a fortress like Tongyuan Fort, and rushed directly into the fort to seize it.
But Nahachu did not respond hastily, and let Lao Si toss around until he tightened his belt and completely blocked Lao Si's route back to the Liaodong Ming-controlled area.
Then he ordered the tribe to send troops and slowly pressed forward.
Nahachu is a tough opponent!
