Chapter 399: The Watershed Between the Brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Biao, a Lightning Strike
Chapter 399 The watershed between Zhu Di and Zhu Biao, blitzkrieg! blitzkrieg! blitzkrieg!
Mid-February.
The temperature on the grassland gradually warmed up.
Zhangbei.
After the troops were divided into two groups, Zhu Di commanded the princes and princes to serve as a detachment to attract the Northern Yuan army.
He took the lead in taking intensive action.
Three days later.
The army was ready to set off.
Nearly 130,000 troops, with 80,000 civilians.
Zhangbei's Northern Expedition Command released the news that Zhu Di commanded 300,000 elite troops of the Ming Dynasty!
The purpose.
It was to attract more Yuan troops.
At the main camp gate.
The detachment marched out of the camp in a mighty manner.
Zhu Biao led the generals and soldiers to see Zhu Di off.
The brothers left the generals and stood together.
Zhu Biao arranged the armor and military uniforms for the brothers who followed Zhu Di to the war, and at the same time patiently reminded them: "This is your first time to march and fight. In the battle, you must listen to your fourth brother and not disobey orders without authorization!"
"Don't worry, brother!"
"We promise to obey your fourth brother's orders."
"Brother, if someone else led me, I might not accept it, but fourth brother, I admire you a hundred times!"
...
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, and came to Zhu Di.
Subconsciously raised his hand, and felt that the figure in front of him was like a mountain.
Slightly raised his head, stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Di's shoulder, and smiled: "When you left the palace in the ninth year of Hongwu, your height was about the same as yours. In the past few years, your head has grown rapidly. I don't know what little sister Miaoyun gave you."
Haha...
The brothers laughed loudly.
Looking at Zhu Di's tall and strong figure with envy, they all joked.
"Fourth brother, what did the fourth sister-in-law feed you?"
"Yes, fourth brother, among so many brothers of ours, you are the only one who is a little outrageous in height. Even the emperor is not as tall as you."
...
Zhu Di smiled and glared at the brothers who were making a fuss.
When Zhu Di glared at them, a group of younger brothers suppressed their laughter and lowered their heads, not daring to make a fuss.
Zhu Biao glanced at them.
The brothers are in awe of the fourth brother!
As for the reason, he also knew.
From ancient times to the present, people have always admired the strong.
There is no doubt that the fourth brother is definitely a strong man.
Zhu Biao collected his thoughts, patted Zhu Di on the shoulder again, and said earnestly: "This time in the northern expedition, the eldest brother has wronged you, you must be careful, it doesn't matter whether you can conquer Helin, you must protect yourself and bring the fifth brother and others back safely..."
Zhu Di listened carefully.
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will definitely protect myself and the fifth brother and others."
"Brother..."
Zhu Di smiled and spread his hands.
He wanted to remind his elder brother about some military matters.
But when the words came to his lips, he felt it was inappropriate.
Some things had been said before.
The elder brother was the elder brother and the commander of the Northern Expedition.
In front of the brothers, reminding the elder brother might make him lose face.
What's more, the elder brother was surrounded by experienced generals such as Uncle Tang, Geng Bingwen, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying.
What he wanted to remind was also a bit redundant.
Zhu Biao obviously knew what Zhu Di wanted to say, and nodded with a smile, "I have remembered what you said before, and Uncle Tang and others will remind me. You don't have to worry about me, just focus on leading this detachment. I am waiting for your victory report!"
...
After Zhu Biao finished speaking.
Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu stopped talking to Zhu Su and other brothers.
He walked quickly to Zhu Di.
Zhu Yu raised his hand and hit Zhu Di on the shoulder, "Third brother is waiting for your triumphant news!"
"Fourth brother, it's agreed that after the northern expedition, we will follow our father to visit Fujian and Dongfan, which you govern!" Zhu Chong put his arm around Zhu Di's shoulder. He was a little short and half hung beside Zhu Di, shouting loudly.
Zhu Di pushed Zhu Chong away with disdain, smiled and bowed, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, have a safe journey!"
After speaking, Zhu Di did not stop, turned around, came to Xiao Hei, took the reins from the personal soldiers, and jumped on the horse.
Zhu Su, Zhu Gui and other brothers also jumped on the horse one after another.
Zhu Di turned around, holding the reins and clasping his fists to Zhu Biao and the others.
Go!
He whipped the horse and chased the army.
Rumble...
Zhu Biao watched Zhu Di disappear from sight.
He turned to look at Lan Yu, "Lan Yu, come with me."
Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu watched Zhu Biao lead Lan Yu towards Zhangbei City, and walked along the camp in tacit understanding.
It was a little far from the gate.
Zhu Chong turned his head to look at Lü Ben, Hu Weiyong and others who were standing at the gate and whispering.
Turning his head, he stared at Zhu Yu: "Third brother, have you noticed that the eldest brother has changed?"
Zhu Yu was slightly stunned and looked at Zhu Chong with suspicion.
Zhu Chong glared at him angrily, "Don't pretend! I don't believe it. Don't you feel that Chang Mao and others have contributed to suppressing the fourth brother and the first army regiment? What did the eldest brother do? He just taught Chang Mao a lesson in front of the fourth brother. That's fine. After all, people like Chang Mao who are hostile to and reject the fourth brother are the base of the eldest brother's prince system. The eldest brother can't really kill these people for the fourth brother, which will chill the hearts of supporters."
"But when the fourth brother proposed to divide the troops to attract the Yuan army for the eldest brother, what was the eldest brother's reaction..."
...
From beginning to end, the eldest brother did not speak.
Seemingly thinking.
During this period, he remained silent and let others express their opinions.
In the end, the situation was formed where the vast majority of people supported the fourth brother to lead the army alone.
"Some of them definitely have no bad intentions in their support. Third uncle supports it, it should be that the fourth brother and the third uncle have communicated in advance. Lan Yu and Mu Ying are not hostile to the fourth brother now, but Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben, Chang Mao and other people in the eldest brother's prince system support it. I don't believe that the eldest brother doesn't know that these people have bad intentions and bad intentions!"
"Besides, if the eldest brother really cares about the fourth brother, he should oppose it at the first time, but he has remained silent until everyone agrees with the fourth brother's decision to divide the troops. He expressed his opinion and let the fourth brother lead the army alone!"
Zhu Yu smiled bitterly.
The subtle changes in the eldest brother.
How could he not notice it.
Staring at the direction where Zhu Di left, he murmured: "In the eldest brother's heart, the fourth brother is already a brother who does not need to rely on his elder brother..."
Does the eldest brother have other bad thoughts about the fourth brother?
He doesn't know.
But he is sure.
The eldest brother looks at the fourth brother differently from them.
In the eldest brother's heart, they still need to rely on the eldest brother to keep their current glory and wealth.
The fourth brother has already jumped out of this level.
Not to mention that he doesn't need to rely on his eldest brother.
Even the Ming Dynasty.
The fourth brother no longer needs to rely on him.
"Before, in the eldest brother's heart, the fourth brother still needed to rely on him, but now he doesn't need to. With the changes in reality, the eldest brother's psychology will definitely change."
Zhu Chong glanced at Zhu Yu.
The third brother didn't confide in him anymore.
Of course he knew all this.
He wanted to ask the third brother what he thought the eldest brother's changes had developed to!
Sure enough, the brothers have grown up.
They all have their own little thoughts.
Now, among the brothers, the only one who is willing to confide in him is the fourth brother.
But this matter involves the fourth brother, and he can't discuss it with the fourth brother.
...
Temporary Marshal's Mansion.
Zhu Biao took Lan Yu into the study and sat down.
Seeing Lan Yu sitting down, he asked with a smile: "Chang Mao told me that I left the fourth son alone at the military meeting three days ago. Did the fourth son leave me and talk to my uncle?"
Lan Yu frowned slightly.
He cursed Chang Mao secretly.
Then he smiled and said: "It was I who went to find the King of Yan and explained to him that suppressing the first regiment of the army was the personal behavior of Chang Mao and others behind the back of the prince..."
"No!"
Zhu Biao suddenly interrupted Lan Yu.
Lan Yu frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Biao in surprise.
Zhu Biao looked at Lan Yu frankly, "Uncle, this matter was an act of connivance by me. I had expected that the people below would do this, and I chose to turn a blind eye."
How could he not know what kind of character Chang Mao was.
At the beginning, he selected people to return to Beiping to assist the army to go north.
Chang Mao actively asked for orders.
He knew what Chang Mao wanted to do.
"I didn't expect the soldiers who sent the 800-mile urgent order to report the news to the court to do this. This was not my instruction, nor was it my connivance, but in the army, I deliberately connived at it."
"First of all, the reputation of Lao Si in the Ming army cannot be too high. The army is an important core for the court to ensure its rule. The centripetal force of the army must not have any problems!"
"As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, I must do this!"
...
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Biao with a firm expression.
There was a storm in his heart.
Did Zhu Lao Si see through this a long time ago?
So, the ones selected were basically the princes and princes!
"What did Lao Si say to you? I heard that you slapped Chang Mao?"
Zhu Biao interrupted Lan Yu's thoughts.
Lan Yu tried to control the ups and downs of his emotions, looked at Zhu Biao, and hesitated and struggled.
The prince has changed!
He didn't know.
How would the prince react to what Zhu Lao Si said?
But as a minister, the prince's brother-in-law.
His identity could not be concealed from the prince.
Concealment is disloyalty!
It is very likely that there will be a gap between them.
After thinking it over again and again, Lan Yu said: "The Prince of Yan said that after this battle, he will no longer return to the court to help regardless of personal interests, nor will he return to the court frequently. The Prince of Yan emphasized that this move was not because of the prince, but the Prince of Yan understood that he could not change the prejudice of the hostile people. If he moved around frequently in the court, it would only affect the relationship between the prince and the Ming Dynasty and him..."
Zhu Biao smiled and asked back: "Didn't the fourth brother also say that there are many people in the court who are hostile to and exclude him. If you want to ensure a harmonious relationship between the two sides, you need a force to suppress this hostile and repulsive force and become a bond between him and him, and you, uncle, should take on this important task?"
Lan Yu opened his mouth slightly in shock.
Uncontrollably, a trace of bone-chilling coldness emerged in his heart.
The prince is very cunning and guessed it?
Or, did the prince plant spies around Zhu Laosi?
What is this for?
For a moment, Lan Yu felt the tip of his hand cold and numb.
The blood in his body seemed to be frozen.
Zhu Biao glanced at Lan Yu and smiled, "I also hope that my uncle will take on this important task. The court cannot be full of people like you. Those who want to be on good terms with the fourth brother cannot all be against him."
If.
In the past, Lü Ben and other members of the prince's faction targeted the fourth brother.
He did not punish them severely because these people were his base of supporters.
Dealing with them would chill people's hearts.
Now, he did not deal with Lü Ben, Chang Mao and others, mainly because the Ming Dynasty needed such a force.
They cannot all be like Lan Yu, who only wanted to have a good relationship with the fourth brother and his forces.
This group headed by Lan Yu.
In fact, it is not small in the current prince's faction.
Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, Lian Zining...
Even Zhao Zhu now leans towards this faction.
As a superior.
He does not think there is anything wrong with what he did.
Now, the fourth brother is no longer the younger brother who needs his care.
Without him.
Without the Ming Dynasty, the fourth brother's development momentum is very rapid.
There is no dependence relationship between each other.
If one day, the fourth brother's mentality changes and he has plans for the Ming Dynasty.
If all the civil and military officials in the court support and befriend the fourth brother.
How will he fight back and respond?
The superior should rule the world.
It is not good to be completely left.
It is also not good to be completely right.
If the faction headed by Lan Yu and befriending the fourth brother is regarded as completely left.
Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben, Chang Mao and others are completely right.
Politically, he needs a faction represented by Lan Yu, befriending the fourth brother, and completely left.
Then suppress the right and promote the left.
On the contrary, it is to suppress the left and lift the right!
…
Lan Yu walked out of Zhu Biao's study in a state of despair.
The words of the prince had a huge impact on him.
The prince repeatedly emphasized that the superior, how about the superior.
From the perspective of the superior, it is right to do so.
But…
The prince dared to ask himself.
Is this change really just purely for the benefit of the superior?
No change in mentality?
He did not dare to ask.
He could not guess whether the prince's mentality had changed because of Zhu Laosi's excellence.
But anyway.
There is one thing.
He can be sure.
This northern expedition is a watershed between the prince and Zhu Laosi brothers.
It is also a watershed for the Ming Dynasty!
After Zhu Laosi's efforts, he was disappointed and made a decision to keep his distance from the Ming Dynasty.
The prince, as a superior, clearly told him that in the Ming Dynasty, there is a need for factions like him who are friendly with Zhu Laosi, and there are also people who exclude, hostile to, and resist Zhu Laosi!
Has Zhu Laosi realized the prince's transformation?
He couldn't see how the future would develop.
It was this kind of confusion that made people feel anxious.
...
Haochen Chahar.
After Toghon Temur retreated from Zhangbei, he retreated all the way to the edge of Haochen Chahar.
The news of Zhu Di's division of troops was soon brought back by the scouts sent by Toghon Temur to the vicinity of Zhangbei.
The king's tent.
Toghon Temur listened to the scout's report, and excitement flashed in his eyes.
'The fourth prince of Ming is just like this! '
Zhu Di was really fooled!
The prince of Ming, Zhu Biao, was one step closer to the trap he set!
Toghon Temur collected his thoughts, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, is really a good brother. In order to attract our troops and create an opportunity for his elder brother to attack my Bui Erhai King Court, he actually led a small army to set off alone."
"Nahachu!"
"Mahamu!"
"Taiping!"
"Batu Boluo!"
"Arutai!"
...
Toghon Temur read out a string of names in a row.
Nahachu and others stood up one after another.
Toghon Temur laughed proudly: "With Nahachu, the King of Liaoyang, as the commander-in-chief and Mahamu as the deputy commander, we will form a northwest force group and gather 300,000 troops!"
"I hope you will, for me, completely annihilate Zhu Di's small army, capture Zhu Di alive for me, or bring Zhu Di's head to see me!"
"Yes!"
The clanging sound rang out.
Zhang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly said, "Khan..."
Toghon Temur was the leader, and everyone in the tent looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu stood up, with a look of death, "I oppose Khan's arrangement. Yes, the fourth prince Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty and Khan have hatred for taking his wife away, but as the common leader of our grassland, Khan should not use troops so emotionally."
"Khan knew that Zhu Silang's detachment was to attract our heavy troops and create opportunities for the Ming prince Zhu Biao to attack Huanglong. Why did he fall for it, just for a woman? Just to wash away the shame that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty once brought to Khan when he roamed the grassland?"
...
Northwest Force Group.
More than 300,000 troops were assembled.
It was three times that of the fourth prince.
And under the fourth prince's command, except for Qiu Laoer's Daliaohe Guard.
None of the princes had experience in leading troops.
It really made the Northwest Force Group form.
The fourth prince's detachment was too dangerous.
He must find a way to pull the troops back!
As for the crown prince Zhu Biao?
The fourth brother took away more than 100,000 soldiers, and the crown prince Zhu Biao still had 400,000 soldiers.
Such a strong force, and they were all veteran commanders of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, even if the 600,000 troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were all concentrated, they might not be able to defeat this army.
"Khan, the Northwest Force Group led by the Liaoyang King took away 300,000 soldiers, and Khan's army only had 300,000 left, which is not enough..."
"Zhang Yu, you worry too much." Nahachu laughed and said, "Khan's army just needs to delay Zhu Biao's main force first. Our Northwest Group will annihilate Zhu Silang's army in the shortest time, and then rush to encircle and annihilate Zhu Biao's main force."
I'm afraid of this happening!
Zhang Yu was very upset and cursed inwardly, retorting: "Lord Liaoyang, when the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, had only a thousand elite cavalrymen, he was able to defeat our 200,000 cavalrymen and jointly attack Zhong Zongheng. Now, he has hundreds of thousands of troops. Are you sure that 300,000 troops can really annihilate the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?"
As soon as these words came out.
Nahachu's lips twitched.
Toghon Temur's face turned black.
This was simply a slap in their faces!
"Enough!"
Toghon Temur shouted angrily, pointing at the door of the general's tent, "Zhang Yu, get out of here! It's not your turn to question this Khan's decision!"
Zhang Yu clasped his fists and was about to persuade again...
"This Khan must take revenge, get out of here!"
Before he could finish his words, Toghon Temur's angry shout rang out again.
"It is my duty as a minister to remind the Khan to be sober and rational. At least, if it were Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan, they would never make such an emotional decision!" After saying that, Zhang Yu turned around and left.
Zheng Shilong and Zhang Qu also hurriedly followed.
Walked out of the general's tent.
Zheng Shilong patted his big bald head and worriedly said, "What can we do? The fourth prince is in danger this time!"
Leading a thousand people and two hundred thousand can deal with it.
But how to deal with commanding hundreds of thousands of people?
The mobility of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be compared with the flexibility of a thousand people.
He had thought that one day in the future, he would follow Zhang Lao Da to join Zhu Lao Si and go to the sea to play.
Now it seems.
Zhu Lao Si himself is in danger.
Zhang Qu frowned and suggested: "General, how about I go to report to the fourth prince quietly?"
Zhang Yu shook his head, "Our current situation is also very dangerous. Your sudden departure will inevitably arouse suspicion."
Except for Zheng Shilong and Zhang Qu's few confidants.
Others don't know the relationship between him and Lao Si.
He doesn't trust it at all and dares not send others to do this.
"Even if we don't send people, Lao Si will soon know the news that Nahachu led 300,000 troops to fight against Lao Si."
This time, it's not a matter of sending people to notify the news.
It's about how to reduce the strength of Nahachu's group.
But Toghon Temur didn't listen to his "advice" at all.
...
Inside the tent.
After Zhang Yu left.
Toghon Temur smiled and looked at the generals of the Northwest Group headed by Nahachu.
"In this battle, the main purpose of the northwest route is to delay the fourth prince of Ming. In the process of supporting the fourth prince of Ming, the elite of the Oirat tribe will be slowly withdrawn from the north of Khalkha Desert, making a big circle and gathering at Buyuerhai. This Khan will deal with the main force led by Zhu Biao in a good way, weaken their troops and morale, pretend to retreat all the way, and retreat to Buyuerhai..."
When Zhu Biao's main force fights all the way to Buyuerhai, it must be a tired army.
At that time, the elite of the Oirat tribe will gather their strength to cooperate with him and the herdsmen of various tribes, and drown the 400,000 most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty with the vast ocean!
Zhu Silang's attack direction is the jurisdiction of the Oirat tribe.
Here, the Oirat tribe can quietly use tribal troops to replace the elite and complete the task of transferring the elite troops to Buyuerhai.
"King of Liaoyang, this Khan's requirements for the northwest line are not high, as long as you defend Helin."
Although Helin is not the royal court.
But for the Mongols, the influence of Khorin is no less than that of the royal court of Buyuerhai.
Nahachu nodded, "I will definitely complete the task given to me by the Khan!"
This old wolf, he and the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty are fighting the same battle.
The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty is to attract troops for Zhu Biao and create conditions for attacking Huanglong.
He pretends to be seeking revenge.
On the surface, he seems to be commanding a large force to attack the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.
In fact, he is only leading his own troops and the troops gathered from small tribes to cover the elite of the grassland to gather at Buyuerhai.
They are all playing auxiliary.
This time, the glory and splendor are unlikely to belong to them.
"Khan."
The voice suddenly sounded.
Toghon Temur and others looked in the direction of the voice.
Mahamu pondered for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Toghon Temur eagerly, "The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty is going to attack Khorin, with 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of civilians, and he can't bypass the Three Gorges."
Nearly 200,000 people.
Plus livestock.
The march must take the main road and must go along the water source.
Although the grassland is vast, the terrain is not as complicated as that of the Central Plains.
But such a large army can only take a few roads.
Sanxiakou is the road to Helin, which cannot be avoided and must be taken.
"Khan, Sanxiakou is a dangerous place. As long as we hold Sanxiakou, we can use the terrain advantage at Sanxiakou to consume the troops of the Fourth Prince of Ming. I want to fight with the Fourth Prince of Ming at Sanxiakou!"
At Sanxiakou, they can attack or defend.
On the other hand, the Fourth Prince of Ming can either attack Sanxiakou fiercely.
Or they can only fight with them in the field.
When the Fourth Prince of Ming repeatedly attacks Sanxiakou and fails, and his morale is weakened, maybe we can fight in the field and defeat him in one battle!
"Khan, I agree with Mahamu's plan!"
"I agree too!"
...
As Taiping and Batuboluo, two leaders of the Wala tribe, spoke, Alutai and others followed suit.
Toghon Temur looked at Hamam and others.
The eagerness on the faces of these young officials was clearly visible.
Hamam and others were not convinced by the defeat of Zhangbei.
They still wanted to fight with Zhu Silang.
However, Sanxiakou was indeed a battlefield very suitable for blocking and consuming Zhu Silang's troops.
"Okay, I agree with your proposal!"
Bang!
Toghon Temur slammed the table and reminded: "But remember, don't lose too many troops!"
Hamamu immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "Khan, just send 30,000 elite troops to the battlefield at the entrance of the Three Gorges!"
The battlefield is just that big.
Thirty thousand elites are enough!
Sending too many troops is a waste.
"Then prepare for action." Togu Si Timur smiled and said: "Zhu Silang has already set off. If you want to seize the entrance of the Three Gorges, you must act quickly."
"As you command!"
When Mahamu followed Naha out to receive the order, the smile on his lips flashed away.
Withdrawing from Zhangbei, they learned that Tuogusi Timur was pretending to attack the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty with a heavy army, but in fact he secretly visited Chencang to attack Zhu Biao's plan.
He sent his confidants to return to the mouth of the Three Gorges.
Ask nearby small tribes to send troops to guard the entrance of the Three Gorges.
At that time, he judged that if the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty separated his forces from Zhu Biao, his attack direction would definitely be He Lin!
The mouth of the Three Gorges is the place where the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty must pass.
Therefore, even if the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty arrived early, he would not be able to break through the Three Gorges mouth quickly.
…
Bei Yuan divided his troops.
They rushed towards Zhu Di's partial army in a mighty manner.
The news was quickly discovered by the scouts sent by Zhu Biao.
Zhang Beicheng.
The main army has not yet set off.
I have been waiting for Beiyuan's reaction.
After the scout sent back the news, Zhu Biao immediately beat the drum and gathered the generals.
In the council hall of the handsome manor.
All in one place.
"Haha... Togu Si Timur has indeed divided his forces."
"The hatred of taking away my wife, how can I not avenge it, haha..."
"Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses! Now, there are only 300,000 Beiyuan elites standing in front of us, right?"
"We will win this battle!"
…
Zhu Biao has not arrived yet.
Everyone was laughing and talking.
Lan Yu sat on Tang He's side, looking at the excited generals, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
These people just have gloating written all over their faces.
Ta-ta-ta...
The sound of footsteps came from outside.
The sound stopped instantly, and everyone looked towards the door.
Three brothers, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu, came together.
"Meet the prince!"
When Zhu Biao stepped into the meeting hall, all the generals stood up and saluted.
"No need to be formal."
Zhu Biao smiled, pressed his hands, and walked straight to the left map direction, and the generals followed him one after another.
Zhu Biao stood in front of the picture and stared at it for a moment. At a certain moment, he turned around and said, "The scouts found out that Bei Yuan used 300,000 elite troops to intercept the Laosi Division. Can you predict and discuss how Bei Yuan will use troops to intercept the elite troops along the way?"
"Prince, can I tell you something?" Hu Weiyong suddenly spoke first.
Everyone looked back.
Lan Yu frowned slightly.
Ever since he knew that the prince wanted to survive, he resisted and rejected Zhu Laosi's factional power.
He knew that the prince would definitely use Hu Weiyong.
Zhu Biao nodded with a smile, "Okay."
Hu Weiyong smiled at the crowd and said humbly, throwing bricks and tiles to attract people, while he came to the full picture of the grassland.
Pick up the baton.
Snapped!
Click lightly on the picture.
Tang He looked at Hu Weiyong and nodded imperceptibly.
If this person doesn't have a bad intention.
His talent is indeed indescribable.
"Three Gorges Mouth!" Hu Weiyong said with a modest smile: "If I were the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army, I would definitely set up an ambush at the Three Gorges Mouth to stop King Yan. This is the only way for King Yan's partial division to pass, and the topography here is particularly suitable for setting up an ambush. …”
If he is a Beiyuan general.
There was no way Zhu Silang could pass through the mouth of the Three Gorges alive.
…
As Hu Weiyong explained, more and more people nodded in agreement.
"We have always seen Togusi Timur's hatred for King Yan, but we must also be careful. This is an illusion deliberately shown by Togusi Timur..."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone was stunned.
Lan Yu was the first to come to her senses and asked: "What do you mean? You mean, Tuogu Si Timur is very likely to spread suspicion, but in fact, the main force of the prince is the one who really needs to attack heavily?"
Hu Weiyong looked at everyone with surprised expressions.
I was secretly proud of myself.
The possibility is slim.
Togu Si Timur even gathered all 600,000 elites.
Can it sustain their 400,000-strong army?
If Beiyuan wants to win this battle, there is only one way.
That is to block it step by step.
drag!
The dragging war begins in February, passes through spring, summer and autumn, and then comes winter.
If the imperial court did not hit the fishing sea.
The imperial court could only withdraw its troops.
winter.
The imperial court was simply unable to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the grasslands while conducting war.
He was absolutely certain.
So far, no one has thought that Bei Yuan might secretly plot against Chen Cang!
"It is possible." Hu Weiyong nodded with a smile, "If you want to verify whether Bei Yuan secretly plotted against Chen Cang, the mouth of the Three Gorges is a place to verify."
"If Beiyuan secretly seduces Chencang and concentrates his main force to deal with us, then there will be no big fight at the mouth of the Three Gorges, because this will deplete their elites!"
"If Beiyuan fights hard at the mouth of the Three Gorges, it will prove that Beiyuan really wants to annihilate King Yan's partial army."
Relying on Zhu Silang's ability to lead troops.
Three hundred thousand elite troops from the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Silang's partial army of more than 100,000 troops was completely annihilated.
You have to spend at least 150,000 troops, right?
Three hundred thousand, half lost.
The elite of Beiyuan this way will be useless.
Zhu Silang used his army to defeat the enemy first, and sacrificed the princes and feudal kings Wei.
It created conditions for the prince to go straight to Huanglong.
A worthy death!
Chang Mao and others looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
They really didn't expect it.
Bei Yuan may have secretly plotted against Chen Cang.
Although, even if Beiyuan gathered 600,000 elites, it would not be able to absorb their 400,000.
But if Bei Yuan really secretly plotted against Chen Cang.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the fishing sea.
on the contrary.
If Chen Cang was really secretly assassinated, Zhu Silang's journey would be too easy.
I'm afraid it will achieve great success!
for a while.
Where Zhang Bei's headquarters was located, while preparing to mobilize troops, they were all watching Zhu Di's partial division.
…
Guangmiao grassland.
The snow is beginning to melt.
A partial division.
It is approaching in a mighty direction to the northwest.
The army marched to the side.
Zhu Di and Xu Da led the crowd in a circle, pointing at the map and discussing.
Seeing that everyone was almost finished discussing, Zhu Di said with a smile: "After everyone's discussion, we all believe that the Beiyuan side may block us at the mouth of the Three Gorges. Do you have any ideas about the possible blockade?"
As he spoke, Zhu Di looked at his brothers headed by Zhu Xi.
Xu Da smiled.
I knew that Zhu Di was teaching the princes.
Such teaching.
I'm afraid others won't.
King Zhou and the others will definitely grow a lot if they follow Shiro.
The Zhu brothers looked at each other, and then looked at the map.
For a long time, no one spoke.
Zhu Di reminded, "When fighting a war, don't just focus on the battlefield, just like when we play chess, don't just focus on one point..."
The princes' eyes began to move toward the entrance of the Three Gorges.
Zhang Wu moved his lips.
He looked at Zhu Xi and others, but said nothing.
Zhu Di noticed the smile and nodded.
Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu, and Zhou Lang followed him. After being reminded, they must have some ideas.
"We lead our troops directly to the north to defeat the enemy head-on. Is it possible that magical soldiers suddenly descend from the sky and appear behind the enemy?"
Bang bang!
Zhu Di tapped the back of the Three Gorges mouth with his finger, "You don't need too many troops. If there are thousands of people, during a frontal attack, and suddenly launch a fierce attack behind the enemy, will it be miraculous?"
Zhu's eyes lit up, and he placed his finger on the border between Ming Dynasty and the grassland, extending to the west. "Fourth brother, I understand. Send an elite force all the way to the west. Find a path from the west of Yinshan Mountain. Pass through it quickly and you can jump to the north. "
Zhu Gui frowned and said: "But this requires speed, and cavalry can meet the speed. But thousands of cavalry, when they reach the back of the Three Gorges mouth, they have to switch to infantry. Can cavalry fight on foot to achieve miraculous results?"
"Yes, I agree with Old Thirteen. The special force that Fourth Brother needs must be very good at infantry mountaineering operations. The cavalry has the advantage of speed, but it does not have the combat effectiveness of the infantry!"
…
The princes spoke one after another and expressed their thoughts.
The smile on Zhu Di's face grew bigger and bigger as he listened.
He smiled and said, "Actually, the infantry can also launch a surprise attack."
As he spoke, Zhu Di pointed to the moving carriage carrying grain and grass, "As long as the infantry rides on the carriage and rests while running wildly, it can be done."
"At least our Army's First Town can definitely do it!" Tan Yuan said confidently with a smile.
Xu Da frowned slightly, "Silang, are you planning to lead troops to launch a surprise attack?"
He already knew Shiro's strategy.
Equip the first army town with a large number of horse-drawn carriages.
The horse-drawn carriage plus the foot skills of the Army's First Town.
It has the ability to strike quickly.
It's too dangerous.
He followed over to watch Shiro for the eldest girl, Qihua, Yong Ming, and Gao Xu.
"I'll go!"
The mouth of the Three Gorges must be broken through.
Shiro can't go.
Let him go.
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "Taishan, you don't quite understand the fighting style of our Army's First Town."
He knew Tarzan didn't want him to risk it.
But how could he give the task of raiding to an old man in Taishan.
At Zhu Di's insistence.
Xu Da couldn't resist in the end.
Xu Huizu could only accompany him.
First, let Xu Huizu look at Zhu Di.
Secondly, it also allowed Xu Huizu to increase his knowledge and knowledge with Zhu Di.
There are not many opportunities like this.
Later, Zhu Di led two soldiers, carrying only firecrackers, riding two hundred carriages, heading west, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xu Da watched Zhu Di leave.
Until he completely disappeared, he turned around and ordered Tan Yuan, "On behalf of the king, one of the guards will stay and camp on the spot to guard the food, grass and baggage. The others, continue to follow me northward!"
Infantry with carriages.
Carrying two targets and five thousand people, they rushed forward.
Two hundred carriages could not accommodate all the soldiers.
Some soldiers trotted behind the carriage.
Take turns riding and resting.
A running battle began.
at the same time.
Mahamu, Arutai and others personally led an army of 30,000 people and rushed to the mouth of the Three Gorges.
Actively prepare at the mouth of the Three Gorges.
