Zhu Su glanced at Zhu Di with some surprise. Based on the differences between the Ming Dynasty at this time and the Ming Dynasty in history, he could barely analyze what Nahachu wanted to do.
Can the fourth brother get the same answer as him in such a short period of time... It can be said that he is worthy of being the only emperor in history to seal the wolf as a vassal. His innate sensitivity to the war situation is amazing.
Out of reach.
"Since this group of people really intends to attack Ming Dynasty, then its main force must have entered the pass and pushed into the Yongping area." Zhu Di used his leg to point on the ground on a simple map to draw the location of Yongping Mansion: "Yongping is located in
To the west of Shanhaiguan is where the Ming Dynasty has stockpiled heavy troops. If you want to attack Yongping in the east, you can't just send a partial division. Naha will use the main force in the east to gather at least a hundred thousand troops to attack Yongping City together."
"In other words, Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty... is extremely empty!"
Everyone took a wrong look. Naha sent out the main force to besiege Yongping? Zhang He frowned and asked: "I heard that Naha left his lair in the Jinshan area. Could it be that the Yanwang Diandong planned to take advantage of Naha's absence in Liaodong?
Take away his golden land?"
"That's a good idea! Old Chang likes it!" Chang Mao laughed loudly. "It's just right in the heart of that thief, it's going to turn the world upside down!"
"No." But Zhu Su said.
Everyone was stunned. Zhu Su glanced at Zhu Di and explained: "They were unable to attack Jinshan for three reasons."
"First, they are very weak now. There are only a thousand people in the city. Even if Naha's main force is not there, there will definitely be more than ten thousand people guarding the Jinshan lair, otherwise they can chew it."
"Second, the situation in Jinshan and Shanhaiguan. Jinshan and Shanhaiguan are so clear that they have become horns. If they go to attack Jinshan, Shanhaiguan will definitely mobilize their troops to rescue them. When the time comes, they will attack from both front and rear.
Dong, how can they survive?"
"Third, there is no food and grass... Even if they have soldiers in their legs, in the land of Liaodong, the food and grass have just been burned by Naha. Where can they buy and raise the food and grass needed to fight tens of thousands of soldiers?
?”
After Zhu Su finished speaking, everyone was silent. Zhang He said softly: "If they don't have a lot of boats, then it won't matter whether they have a way to avoid the enemy's attack or a way to transport military supplies."
Zhu Su was also silent. He also knew that the ships that had previously docked at the beach near Jinzhou were already weathered and unusable.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone through all the hardships and tried to cross Shanhaiguan on one foot. Wouldn't it be enough to just confirm the location, replenish supplies, and then continue to take the waterway, all the way along the coast back to the outside of the Ming Dynasty?
"I can't get into Shanhaiguan, nor can I attack the thieves' lair, so what should I do? Should I continue to find a mountain den to hide in?" Zhu Xi said irritably.
"The old lair that Naha came out of can't be touched now, but Shanhaiguan... I can't plot something." Zhu Su touched Dongba. Everyone was stunned. Jinshan with tens of thousands of people can't hit Shanhaiguan with its towering walls.
, can you touch it?
"The reason is actually simple." Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Zhu Su explained with a smile: "Because Jinshan is several months away from Shanhaiguan Port, the two are at odds with each other, so it cannot be easily captured."
"But whether it's Jinshan or Naha's lair, Naha's family fortune is all here. According to the old fox's cautious temperament, he must have taken Naha's lair very seriously, and he must have ordered the guard not to go into battle easily."
"If we fail to attack Jinshan, the Shanhaiguan garrison will definitely send out troops to attack together. But if we fail to attack Shanhaiguan... the Jinshan garrison will put in a rat-proof weapon, and they will stand still!" Zhu Su was extremely sure.
"And if they conquer Shanhaiguan, even if they can't break out of the siege, they can still say that they have turned the corner."
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized. Ru Taisu gently stroked his long beard and asked: "Is what the East of the Fifth Palace said true? Did the East of the Fifth Palace also say it just now? He seems to be weak and has more than a thousand people."
"Even if the garrison of Qianhudu and Dongfang is added here, there are still thousands of them. How can they attack Dongshanhaixiongguan?"
"So, they have to think of a way to gather a suitable army first." Zhu Su stood up. He turned to Shao Biao who was standing in the corner and said, "Shao Xiaowei!"
"Here." Shaobiao rushed to answer.
"From what Qianhu said just now, the Ming garrison in Liaodong was not completely wiped out, but was dispersed by Naha's intervention by the Yuan army."
"If we can find their traces and gather them together, I think we can have a usable army. Lieutenant Shao, am I the most proficient in the terrain here? Can you entrust me with that task?"
When Shao Biao heard this, his face became solemn. He cupped his fists and said, "I don't dare to say goodbye to what the Lord of the Palace wishes! I will do my best."
"Very good." Zhu Su nodded. The Jinyi Guards have great magical powers, and they must have their human legs in the Liaodong Army. It is most suitable for Shao Biao to entrust this task to Shao Biao.
"Mr. Dai, many of the defenders there have been seriously injured. If the emergency response is not handled properly, there may be more soldiers who can fight."
"Could you please go to the wounded barracks to get treatment?"
"This is the duty of a doctor." Dai Sigong bowed, then picked up the medicine box and went out.
Zhu Su acted as the central coordinator, assigned tasks to everyone, and naturally took over the command of the beacon fire here. Although Wu Zhou felt uneasy, he was injured and lacked energy, and his status was not as good as that of Zhu Su and others.
People have to bend down and obey orders. In a blink of an eye, the two Zhu brothers were the only ones outside Fengsui Fort. Even Zhu Ping was assigned a task by Zhu Su. He begged the second brother to follow Chang Mao to cheer him up.
The morale of the soldiers was gone.
"Lao Wu." Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Zhu Difang said: "I want to seize Dongshan Pass, but I don't want to help him with the Ming Dynasty's Northern Army. Let's see if we can take advantage of the situation and defeat Naha."
"How did fourth brother figure it out?" Zhu Su was stunned, then asked with a smile.
"What's so difficult about that?" Zhu Di squatted down next to Zhu Su. Pointing to Shanhaiguan on the ground map, he said: "The Shanhaiguan is not a way for them to escape. Naha came out and said, what's wrong?"
Isn’t it a necessary retreat?”
"Is it because of taking Shanhaiguan to the east, Naha thought that his retreat was guaranteed, so he thought of taking risks and tried the Ming Dynasty's tricks while his army was taking Yunnan."
"If Shanhaiguan is lost, Naha's main force will be isolated from his home base. So what if he has captured the entire territory of Liaodong? Even if his lone army numbers one hundred thousand, it will still have to be slowly swallowed up by the Ming Dynasty.
Lose."
"No, Shanhaiguan is a dangerous place. Even if we gather the remnant troops of Ding Liao Guards to the east, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack the east by force... Lao Wu, do I have some plans?"
