After Zhu Di asked, he stared at Zhu Su's face with an expectant look on his face.
"If Shanhaiguan can be so easy to reach the east, then it is not Xiongguan." Zhu Su was still staring at the map drawn on the ground. "They have many women and wounded soldiers there... there are many issues to consider."
Like a mountain. How can you think of a plan so quickly?"
"Just take it one step at a time, and there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
"What, I don't have a plan?" Zhu Di was surprised. "Then I was so confident..." At that point, he was suddenly alert. His younger brother was not really confident, but he couldn't.
Don't act confident.
As bright as he is, even though he has his second brother and his two elder brothers in front of him, he is still the unquestionable "coach" of the group. If the coach is panicked, wouldn't he and his people be defeated before they fight?
Even though the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, that brother still wants to find a truly feasible way out for his people.
"Fifth brother, fourth brother is not as good as me." Zhu Di said sincerely. "When he was analyzing the situation just now, he actually thought about going straight to Jinshan to make contributions and surprise his father in Beijing. He didn't care about the lives and deaths of other people."
"If we hadn't listened to him, I'm afraid they would all die here..."
Zhu Di's expression was a bit bitter. Ever since he found out whether he was the so-called "Yongle Emperor", although he was frightened that his future self would do such treacherous things as "Jing Nan", to be fair, Zhu Di had also made mistakes in his future.
Lidong was complacent about his achievements and regarded himself as a "special" existence.
And that complacency indirectly led to his impatience at this time. Just now, he didn't take Naha's appearance seriously in his heart, and he blindly believed that if he led an army to attack, he would definitely be able to deal with the enemy.
His hometown was Jinshan, and his achievements in Lidong impressed his father Zhu Yuanzhang with admiration.
But he never thought about the risks of rashly attacking the enemy's lair. It was not until his fifth brother Zhu Su reminded him that attacking Jinshan was a dead end.
Zhu Su raised his head in surprise. Zhu Di was suddenly so serious, which made him a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he said: "Fourth brother encountered adversity and still wanted to turn defeat into victory. He admired his courage.
"
"As for saying he is inferior to him...he is not the same as him. The fourth brother's ability to lead the army is due to him. He has more knowledge, so he is slightly better than the fourth brother now."
"Fourth brother has lofty ambitions and is talented. It will take a few years for fourth brother to grow up, and he will become an indestructible sword."
Zhu Su spoke from the bottom of his heart. Zhu Di's talents are obvious to all in history. Even though Zhu Su had the memory of two lifetimes, he did not dare to claim to be on par with the famous Yongle Emperor. The current Zhu Di is still very immature in his teens.
It's just a child. Moreover, a prince like Zhu Di will undoubtedly be the pillar of the future of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not there, then it will be a huge fault for the time traveler himself.
Traveling through time and making China greater is probably the only obsession deep in Zhu Su's heart that he cannot let go of. If Emperor Yongle had died early because of his butterfly effect, wouldn't he have become a sinner of history?
"Lao Wu..." Zhu Di patted Zhu Su on the shoulder: "Good brother, he must not lose too much to me."
"If I am in trouble after the moon, my fourth brother will definitely come to help me no matter how far away I am from the end of the world."
"Haha, okay." Zhu Su smiled slightly, but did not take those words to heart.
…
To be fair, Zhu Su now also hopes that someone can give him a definite plan. He does not need to make suggestions, he just needs to be an executor. However, among those present now, Chang Mao and Zhang He can be the generals.
He cannot be a handsome man; although Ru Taisu is old, he is not good at military affairs and often has a Confucian and business spirit; the second brother Zhu Feng has no great talent and cannot take on a big responsibility; the fourth brother Zhu Di is smart, but he is still young and unstable, and Zhu Su is also
Just try to catch a duck and use your brain to come up with a perfect plan.
That made him miss Yao Guangxiao who left Japan far away.
In the third month, Shaobiao successfully found Ye Wang, the commander of the Dingliao Guards. Coincidentally, the scouts to the east of Ye Wang's legs happened to see the beacon fire burning in Zhenyi Tower that month, so they finally gathered together a group of soldiers.
Ye Wang, who had ten thousand defeated troops, rushed to help, and happened to bump into Tan Ma who was looking for their zodiac sign. With the extra 10,000 men stationed at Zhenyi Terrace, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted.
"General Ye Wang, I have met the three masters of the palace!" After verifying the identity of Zhu Su and the others, the sturdy man with an arrow scar on his face made a half-kneeling salute with a loud sound.
"Commander Ye, there is no need to be polite." Zhu Su helped him up and said. "I have been waiting to occupy Liaodong for a long time. Why did I lose to Nahachu? How many troops does Nahachu have in Liaodong?"
Ye Wangyu told what he knew. Generally speaking, his analysis was similar to that of Zhu Su and Zhu Di. After successfully attacking Ding Liao Guard's military supplies, Naha went out of his way to be cautious. Suddenly, the army came out in all directions and attacked the east in one go.
Many areas in northern Liaoning and western Liaoning were occupied by the Ming army. Seeing Naha's great power, many small forces that had already submitted to the Ming also joined in. Suddenly, Naha had the potential to unify Liaodong.
Ye Wang hurriedly gathered the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, preparing to counterattack while Naha's foothold was not stable. Unexpectedly, because Yuanting had not built the Great Wall in hundreds of years, and Shanhaiguan was also in disrepair, Naha's troops actually moved from a section of the Great Wall.
The collapsed area bypassed Xiongguan, and launched a pincer attack from both sides of Shanhaiguan from the east and west. Ye Wang's Dingliao Guards were unable to support themselves alone and had no military rations, so they had to take the initiative to open the gate, seize the road and leave, looking for opportunities to fight again. And Naha came out
They left a force to guard Shanhaiguan, and by the way used Shanhaiguan as a stronghold to sweep away the surrounding Ming army's fortresses and beacons, with the intention of trapping their remnant army outside Liaodong Pass, so as to completely establish a foothold in Liaodong.
"There are about 40,000 soldiers guarding Shanhaiguan. There are probably 30,000 soldiers, but they are not guarding Jinshan, a stronghold that has been established for a long time in Nahachu." This is no different from Zhu Su's analysis.
"Why is the east of the palace here?" Ye Wang looked at Zhu Su and others and the beacon, and was surprised and surprised: "General, there are thousands of soldiers here, but they can successfully repel the Sidong raids.
The more than 10,000 high-ranking officials who think about Timur’s bandit army can teach the bandit army not to dare to invade again?”
Zhu Su also told Commander Ye about the situation in the past few months, focusing on the part where he and his group used a trick to scare Yuan soldiers outside Shanhaiguan.
In fact, the month after Shaobiao set out to contact the remnants of the Dingliao Guards, Shanhaiguan sent some sporadic detectives to explore the reality of Zhenyitai. Zhu Su used a monocular telescope to see clearly at the beacon. Fortunately, before
Dozens of war horses were captured when cleaning up the battlefield. With the war horses, the elite cavalry of Qin Wangwei had a place to use. If the number of sentinels sent by the enemy was small, the cavalry of Qin Wangwei would take the initiative to attack.
.
In addition, Zhu Su asked Zhenyitai to set up banners as suspicious soldiers, and even took the initiative to send troops, pretending to intend to recover the surrounding beacons. The Yuan army in Shanhaiguan saw that the Ming army dared to be so rampant, and looked unscrupulous.
This will make it even more effective against rats.
Even because they were worried that Shanhaiguan would be lost, they did not dare to send out large armies to attack those beacon towers for several months.
