Seeing Zhu Su's change of expression, Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder. It wasn't until Zhu Su told him his worries that Zhu Di's face turned red: "Emperor Yuan is stupid and incompetent. He would have the guts to fight with his Ming Dynasty with his life."
?Shouldn’t it be possible?”
"It's hard to say. Although Emperor Yuan is incompetent, don't forget that Wang Baobao is very much in charge of the military affairs of Yuanting." Zhu Su said.
Although it is not very likely, it is a wrong game between the Yuan and Ming Dynasties in which the country is the chess game. Although the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not a top chess player in terms of strategic ability, the actual person in power of the Yuan Dynasty Ruming was "Tiandong Qi"
Wang Baobao, who is known as the "man" (that is, Timur who defeated Xu Da in the Battle of Lingbei), is also mediocre.
Wang Baobao single-handedly saved Yuanting from destruction, and even defeated the Ming army in the Battle of Lingbei to the point that "it is rare to leave the country." Regardless of tactics or strategy, this person is not among the best in the world.
One line.
It's hard to say whether he will defy everyone's opinion and narrowly escape death with Dong Chu's move, but it is not the only move that Dayuan has any hope of making a comeback.
"Don't you say that General Xu Da's troops are arriving? With the general here, I think everything will be fine." Zhu Di said. This was not the first time for him to engage in a life-and-death strategic mismatch between the two countries.
Feeling it firsthand, his back was wet with sweat unconsciously. Zhu Su could not force himself to calm down, and said with a forced smile: "Maybe he is unfounded. After Zhai Dudingbian comes back, I will ask him again."
However, before he finished speaking, a sergeant came to report: "To the east of the King of Yan's Palace and the East of the Palace of the King of Wu, Duke Chang Guo and layman Zhang are back."
"Oh?" Zhu Di and Zhu Su glanced at each other wrongly. The two of them coincidentally wore the same robes and walked toward Chang Mao and Zhang Dingbian.
Seeing the two Diandongs greeting each other, all the sergeants also turned their horses. Zhang Dingbian also laughed and said: "I haven't seen Wudiandong for several months, and Wudiandong's style is even better than before!"
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has four palaces, east and five palaces, and those two Lin'er, his life is considered to be in vain!"
"Military and national affairs are urgent, so we can talk about small talk later." Zhu Su said to Zhang Dingbian. "I heard from his fourth brother that layman Zhang has some urgent news that he needs to tell him. I wonder what news it is?"
"Could it be that Yuan Tingqiu made a big move to the south?" Zhu Di also asked.
"I'm active in the area near the Great Wall. Is there anything unusual happening in Yuanting? I haven't heard any news." When he got down to business, Zhang Dingbian also became serious.
No news is good news. Just as Zhu Su and Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Dingbian said again: "Although Yuan Ting doesn't know if there is any abnormality, Fu Mou has found out.
There are thousands of households in Shanyang, and there are signs that they are gathering together."
"Ten thousand households in Shanyang?" Zhu Su was a little confused. "What kind of tribe is that?"
"The ten thousand households in Shanyang were originally the Ulusi (which means "fiefdom") in the east ruled by the descendants of Genghis Khan's younger brother Temuge Ochijin." On the contrary, it was not Zhu Di who knew the layout of many forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. "Their lords
, but it is the king of the Northern Yuan and Liao Dynasties, 'Azha Shili'."
"Azasili? That name sounds familiar to me..." Zhu Su thought carefully and suddenly shouted out.
If Aza lost his position, wouldn't he be the leader of the Taining Guards who later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and quickly defected to the Northern Yuan Dynasty? He was in charge of three guards in total, with a total of 80,000 Mongolian cavalry. Later, one of them became even more famous
Name:
Duoyan Sanwei!
"Did I say that Azasili, with tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, is waiting outside the pass?" Zhu Su asked Zhang Dingbian.
"I'm afraid more than a few are watching with eager eyes." Zhang Ding shook his shiny bald head. "When a certain person was entering the customs, a certain brother's brother came to report that they had gathered together and were heading towards the Ming Dynasty."
"Then..." In an instant, Zhu Di, Zhu Su, Chang Mao, Cao Yuan and other generals all looked shocked.
King Aza of the Liao Dynasty launched a large-scale military attack, which was not without the instruction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. In other words, Wang Baobao had indeed spotted the flaw in the Ming Dynasty and was preparing to join forces with Naha to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty.
Here comes a piece of fat.
Zhu Su felt a cold feeling in his heart. He suddenly remembered an abnormality he discovered when Yuanji watched Naha leave the military camp that January.
It was clear that Shanhaiguan had fallen and Naha's troops had lost their way out. Why did they still station themselves unhurriedly at Bubo on the outskirts of Yongping Prefecture? There were mountains of food and grass outside Yongping Prefecture, but Naha's troops had at least 150,000 troops.
, such a huge quantity cannot be consumed by such a large army by relying on troops from all over the east to plunder the people's rations.
If the siege continued, it turned out that Naha would have run out of food and retreated. At that time, I guessed that Naha was unwilling to give up, and still wanted to ask for reinforcements from the siege, and thought about swallowing up a few Ming troops in the east and then returning to Liaodong.
But there is a huge flaw in such speculation: as a warlord who respects his own troops, the strength of his own troops is not the greatest guarantee of his power, and it is not the fundamental bargaining chip for him to seek the greatest interests in the gap between the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Would such a warlord really push all his chips to the gambling table just because of a momentary impulse?
Zhu Su suddenly felt as if he could see the moon from the clouds: Was Naha's appearance caused by a moment of anger or unwillingness? Was that old fox actually waiting, waiting for his reinforcements, waiting for the 80,000 flowers?
Three Yan cavalrymen fell from the sky!
"Report! Urgent report from Yongping Mansion!" Suddenly, a sharp voice came to the ears of Zhu Su and others. Seeing the Ming army flag there, the knight quickly ran in front of Zhu Su and others. He could hardly connect
He climbed up on the horse's back and saw clearly that there were two royal flags in front of him. He rushed over and knelt on the ground panting.
"Am I...Jinyiwei? Get up quickly, what happened to Yongping Mansion?" Zhu Di asked quickly.
"No..." The man gasped and took out the badge from his arms to prove his identity as a Jinyiwei. "I am a Jinyiwei stationed in Yongping Mansion. Under the orders of Lord Qiu Cheng, the commander of Yongpingwei,
Go out of the city and ask for help from nearby friendly forces."
"On a moonlit night, Nahachu suddenly came out in full force to storm the city wall of Yongping Mansion. The thieves were coming with great force. Without reinforcements, Yongping Mansion might fall!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked again. No one expected that Nahachu, who had always acted like he was surrounding the area for reinforcements and not taking the initiative to attack the city, would actually stay still. If he moved, he would be shaken by thunder. Suddenly
Attack Yongping Mansion at night.
"That's right. Is that guy from Naha crazy?" Chang Mao asked in confusion. "There are tens of thousands of Ming troops in the Jianchang camp, and they are watching eagerly."
"Although Guo Xing's abilities are mediocre, he has been fighting for a lifetime. After all, he has some vision."
"If Naha dares to attack with all his strength, Guo Xing will definitely take advantage of the situation and send troops to capture his ass. After all the attacks from the front and the back, if Naha comes out with that thief, wouldn't he be punished by both sides?"
