Chapter 239: Blood shame for the ancestors, revenge for the same clan, and peace for the descendants!

"So, he doesn't intend to accept my kindness!"

On the hillside of the Tatar camp, Arutai was sitting on a piece of fur, looking at the mountain peak opposite, chewing dried meat in his mouth, and asked casually.

The Maoli boy looked at Arutai and hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask Arutai why he wanted to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, but out of loyalty and respect for him, he just nodded in the end.

"well!"

Arutai was silent for a while, then a sigh came out of his mouth.

"I originally wanted to resolve this matter peacefully and allow the tribesmen to return to the grassland and continue to live a carefree life."

"It seems that this battle is unavoidable!"

Looking at the mountain peak opposite, Arutai murmured to himself.

"That's fine!"

After standing up and sweeping away the meat scraps on his body, Arutai turned to Maoli Boy.

"Inform the sons and daughters, get ready for battle!"

"Yes, Taishi!"

The Maoli boy had a determined look in his eyes, responded loudly, turned around and left.

"Wait!"

The Maoli boy turned around and lowered his head, quietly waiting for Arutai's order.

After pondering for a while, Arutai said.

"Go to Zhu Di's place again and tell him that if you have the ability, let's have a real battle between men."

"Offensive and defensive battles are boring. If you have the ability to lead troops and fight an upright battle!"

"what do you mean?"

The Maoli boy looked at Arutai in confusion.

Arutai smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"Go, Zhu Di, he will understand!"

Soon the Maoli boy passed the message to the old man.

"Little bastard, do you understand what this old fox means?"

After the Maori boy left, the old man stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the mountain peak opposite, suddenly chuckled, and asked Zhu Zhangui without looking back.

Zhu Zhangui thought for a while and replied.

"My grandson thinks Arutai may have two meanings."

The old man raised his hand and motioned for Zhu Zhangui to speak.

The generals also looked at Zhu Zhangui with smiles, looking forward to his answer.

Everyone present knew that the emperor had already begun to take his grandson to the road.

Now we are just expressing our thoughts and opinions, the next step is to formulate an overall combat plan, and finally, military command and takeover.

During the external naval war, although Zhu Zhangui commanded the operations of various ministries, the real decision-making power was still in the hands of the old man.

If the old man doesn't agree, none of the overseas troops will dare to move.

Although Jianghuai and Li Hu are all Zhu Zhangui's people, when Zhu Zhangui did not directly declare rebellion, Zhu Zhangui and the old man's orders, they must first obey the old man's orders.

It's not about loyalty or not, it's just the rules.

The two were first officials of the imperial court, and then followers of Zhu Zhangui.

The emperor is the helmsman of the entire dynasty, and as a minister, he must listen, unless Zhu Zhangui directly raises the flag of rebellion.

"First, Arutai's men mainly rely on the cavalry, and they are not good at offensive and defensive battles."

"Whether we are fighting them or they are fighting us, under the suppression of artillery and various attack weapons, they have no advantage at all except to keep filling their lives!"

"But field battles are different!"

"Although they are our opponents, we have to say that in terms of cavalry combat, without the blessing of muskets, we are still slightly inferior to them, and we are far worse in terms of cavalry shooting."

"More importantly, when fighting on a wide plain, our artillery mobility is limited!"

"If Arutai chooses to attack frontally with infantry and flank with cavalry, it will be difficult for our artillery to quickly support other directions!"

"But defense is different. It's a one-sided attack. Arutai must cram in as many people as there are!"

"One of the more important factors is that our army has come from afar and is considered a tired army!"

"Although the Arutai army has been confronting me for a long time, there has been no conflict between the two of us. It can be said that both our mental and physical strength are at their peak!"

"Compared to the two, we are slightly at a disadvantage!"

Zhu Zhangui's first thought came out, and the old man and the generals present nodded slightly.

Several veteran generals stroked their beards happily and patted the younger generals who were following them.

As if to say.

"You little brats are in luck. You have an emperor who is good at conquering and fighting. The general group can at least be prosperous for a hundred years!"

Of course, some are happy and some are unhappy.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, who stood first among the generals, had a bad face the whole time.

The higher Zhu Zhangui's status in the hearts of military commanders, the lower his status will be.

If one day the old man passes away, if he wants to imitate the old man and try to make peace, he may not be able to succeed as easily as the old man.

The main reason why the old man was able to win easily in the first place was because the military generals group looked on coldly.

Otherwise, if Li Jinglong was replaced by another general, even if he couldn't stop the old man, it would still take a few years. It's hard to say who will win in the end.

The old man smiled and nodded, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, looking like an old farmer testing his grandson, and then asked.

"What about second place!"

Zhu Zhangui laughed.

"Second, it's very simple. If he moves to the grassland and starts a war, even if he fails, he can still run."

"Hahaha…"

The old man and the generals couldn't help laughing.

The laughter fell.

The old man looked at Zhu Zhangui.

"Do you think we should agree to them?"

Zhu Zhangui answered directly without thinking.

"We have no choice but to promise to fight him quickly!"

The old man nodded uncertainly.

"What's the reason?"

"Logistics, two hidden dangers in the west, overseas territories!"

The old man's eyes showed a look of relief.

Ming Dynasty must accept Arutai's challenge.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are outside. Although they are fighting near the border, the logistics pressure is also very high.

It was not very safe over the grassland, so the imperial court had to transport food from Nuergandusi.

Summer and autumn are better, but in winter the roads here are a nightmare.

Coupled with the looming threats from the Western Regions and Wusi Zangdusi in the west, as well as uncertain factors overseas, the Ming Dynasty must resolve this war with the grasslands quickly and cannot delay it for too long, otherwise it will easily happen elsewhere.

question.

It was because of this that Arutai was sure that the old man would definitely agree to the grassland field battle.

Returning to his seat, the old man closed his eyes and meditated, rubbing his thumb and index finger together as usual.

None of the generals below said anything, silently waiting for the old man's decision.

Time passed, and the old man who closed his eyes in deep thought suddenly opened his eyes and released two beams of light, shooting at the generals below.

At this moment, the old man seemed to have returned to the peak of Jingnan, he stood up and said domineeringly.

"The first battle is the decisive battle!"

"Let's make a complete break with this old enemy and eliminate all future troubles in the grassland in one fell swoop."

"For our descendants, create a Ming Dynasty that will no longer have the troubles of the north!"

All the generals present stood upright. The veterans seemed to have returned to the day of Jingnan, with fanatical admiration in their eyes as they watched the old man raise his hands fiercely and roar loudly.
