Chapter 90 You are a little less courageous than your father (1)
Smells! It smells so damn good!
The army stopped marching at night, and the camps stretched for miles and were brightly lit.
Lan Yu sat in Zhu Yunxi's tent, mixed the stewed meat with thick oil and red sauce into the rice, and wolfed it down. Although he was not young, his appetite was a bit larger than that of a strong man, and he ate a lot.
Extremely fast, a big bowl of meat and rice was eaten in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Yunxi stood aside, holding a military book and reading silently. Hearing the words, he raised his head and smiled, then turned his eyes to the words in the book.
Why, you can’t even eat meat at home?
Lan Yu put down the bowl of rice, then sat respectfully on the pony opposite Zhu Yunxi, and said with a smile, "It's not that there is no meat to eat, it's the rice cooked by the old woman at home, and the clear soup is tasteless. I have eaten the food in the camp for half my life."
, it still has this kind of aroma of oil and salt, which is very exciting!
It's because you have been fighting for half your life that Gu boldly begged the emperor to let you serve as military counselor! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, don't thank me yet, tell Gu, if you are a handsome man, how should you fight against Goryeo this time?
In fact, Zhu Yunxi already had a plan in mind on how to fight. When asking Yu Lanyu, he just wanted to listen and understand.
If I were the commander-in-chief, I shouldn’t have declared war! After thinking for a moment, Lan Yu said that although the country of Goryeo is small, it can still be regarded as a strong country. His Highness led the army from the capital, and coupled with the mobilization of troops and horses in Liaodong, Goryeo was prepared.
, it will be difficult to fight!
Soldiers are expensive and quick, and Goryeo would not know it if it did not declare war. It is enough to send two elite cavalry as the vanguard, which does not require more than 5,000 people. Cross the Yalu River, not giving North Korea time and opportunity to assemble, avoid the strong city, and go straight to the royal capital of Goryeo.
.
Five thousand people can turn him upside down. When Goryeo gathers its army, the tens of thousands of infantry troops following the cavalry will directly cover Goryeo's back. As long as Pyongyang is broken, the Korean capital will be in full swing. At that time, either an alliance under the city, or
Whether to destroy the country or not depends on your mood, Your Highness!
When it comes to military affairs, Lan Yu's eyes sparkle. Strategic arrangements, troop mobilization, and coordination of arms are all made immediately, as if they have been planned for a long time.
The tactics he mentioned reminded Zhu Yunxi of an ancient book he had read in the East Palace. It told the story of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom who conquered Goryeo in the second year of Daguan of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the situation in the north was unstable, and the Liao Empire was about to show signs of defeat. As a result, the Koreans wanted to take the opportunity to extend their claws to the Yalu River.
Wanyan Aguda, who was still the leader of the tribe, sent his brother Wanyan Wuyashu to lead 500 cavalry to the Yalu River for support. The Jurchen tribes on both sides joined forces, with about 2,500 cavalry. On the Goryeo side, there were one
Seventeen thousand people.
The Wanyan Jurchens did not declare war, but secretly crossed the Yalu River, chasing the opponent's 20,000 soldiers and killing them. Then Goryeo couldn't bear the humiliation and gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses, hoping to eat these Jurchen cavalry.
In the end, 2500 against 60000, the Jurchens were completely victorious, and Goryeo sued for peace.
What Lan Yu said was exactly the same as Wanyan Jurchen's tactics that day, which were to attack directly without declaring war, and wait for the opponent's army to gather before engaging in field battles.
After all, our Ming Dynasty is a big country, and it is really unjustifiable to go to war without declaring a vassal state. This time, I have spent a lot of money to attack Goryeo. Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, if we really start a direct war, I am afraid that the old father and son in the court will
, the pot is about to explode!
He only said half of what he said. He also wanted to launch a surprise attack on Goryeo. But the civil servants and the old man could not get through it. After all, the Ming Dynasty wanted to save face. These things would be written down in the history books in the future, which would not look good.
That group of scholars and stinky civil servants will yell randomly! Lan Yu squinted and cursed, it is not their sons who are fighting in the soldiers, so of course they are not afraid of death! What kind of majestic king's teacher, bah! Why do you say hello when you can stab the enemy to death!
Are Koreans good at fighting? Zhu Yunxi didn't want to dwell on this issue and asked.
Lan Yu paused, not bad! He immediately continued, not much worse than the Tatars, but the Goryeo people are good at shooting. The best archer in the Goryeo army can shoot two hundred steps. As early as the Mongolian Dynasty, the Goryeo people were good at shooting.
It is a world-famous horse farm with tall war horses and numerous cavalry!
This is a fact. The war horses of Goryeo are actually better than those of the Central Plains. The good horses that Goryeo pays tribute to every year are almost five feet (one meter and a half) tall.
Furthermore, the current monarch of Goryeo, Li Chenggui, was a military commander. Under his integration, Goryeo's troops and horses had annihilated the invading Japanese pirates several times, and they were quite capable. There were no less than 100,000 capable soldiers in Goryeo.
In fact, I have been thinking about how to fight for a long time. Now that there are no outsiders, I will tell you. If there is anything wrong, you can correct me!
Zhu Yunxi stood up, looked at the map in the tent and said, when our army arrives in Liaodong, the Korean side must have known the news, and they will dispatch their troops!
With the temperament of the Korean people, they will definitely retreat at the Yalu River first, and while preparing to meet the enemy, they will desperately apologize to the old man and delay time!
There was no need to think about the quick victory due to the thunderous momentum. Gu planned to send two cavalry units to circle back and distract their attention while the army slowly moved forward.
With that said, Zhu Yunxi took out his sword, pointed at the map and said, the army will advance to Anzhou and then directly to Pyongyang!
Lan Yu thought for a moment and said, Goryeo will never allow Pyongyang to fall, and will definitely mobilize a large army to stop His Highness. By then, there will be no quick resolution, if the war drags on until autumn...
There is another way! Zhu Yunxi smiled and pointed in the direction of the sword in his hand. He changed the direction. The several states of Goryeo were the largest seaports in Goryeo. Gu had ordered Xin Guogong Tanghe to lead the Fujian Jing Navy and command the Shandong Guards troops.
Horses and three hundred warships, attack this place from the sea!
Ah? Lan Yu was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then grinned. His Highness attracted the main force of Goryeo on the battlefield, and then stabbed them directly in the back. Once the army came ashore, the King of Goryeo looked like a naked girl. We think...
..Said, he hurriedly apologized, Your Highness, don't blame me, I am used to being vulgar in the army...
Zhu Yunxi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, Goryeo's original capital was Kaijing, and now it has been moved to Hanyang. Huh, Li Chenggui changed its name to Seoul in order to take pictures of the emperor's horses. Seoul is easier to fight than Kaijing! As long as you believe it
As long as the Duke of Guo can land, no matter whether he can capture it or not, Korea will definitely return to the rescue.
Saying that, the sword in Zhu Yunxi's hand changed direction again. If they move, they will reveal their backs to us. There are also cavalry sent out as a diversion, which can chase their butts. By then, under the walls of Seoul, Gu will let Goryeo have this little wealth.
Son, everything turned into a handful of loess!
Looking at the high-spirited Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu felt mixed emotions in his heart and couldn't speak for a long time. He had been fighting for a lifetime, and the tactics Zhu Yunxi mentioned were clear at a glance. But he didn't expect that a young man in his teens would
, to be able to come up with such a strategy.
Third Master, he is no longer the timid child hiding behind the crown prince. He has really grown up. Not only has he grown up, his literary skills, military skills, and martial arts have surpassed those of his predecessors.
Why don't you speak? Zhu Yunxi asked when Lan Yu was speechless.
I was thinking, Your Highness is really a mature man! Lan Yu grinned widely, his eyes sparkling. When one day I go underground and meet the prince and brother-in-law, when they ask, I will tell you something!
I will tell them that the Ming Dynasty has a successor, and the Ming Dynasty has a sage king!
Having said this, he clenched his fists and said loudly, Your Highness, give me a team of cavalry, and I will charge into the battle for Your Highness!
You are a handsome man, and it is better to be alone than to charge into battle! Zhu Yunxi sat down and said with a smile, besides, Holy Envoy, you are just a counselor.
Suddenly, Lan Yu's face was full of disappointment. However, after struggling on the line of life and death, Lan Yu was no longer as reckless and unruly as before, and became more and more calm.
Gu knows your heart, you and I are blood relatives, Gu has protected you again and again, not only family affection, but also your talents! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, you are in good health, you and I will be kings and ministers for a long time, and the future will be long!
Hearing this, Lan Yu felt deeply moved.
At that moment, he laughed loudly and said, after all, Li Chenggui was also the king of Goryeo. In order to take pictures of the emperor's horses, the name of the capital was changed to Seoul. Why wasn't he called Myungseong? How unambitious!
Mingcheng doesn't sound good either! Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and after we conquered Goryeo, we will change his name! Just call it Bei'an, Chang'an in the north!
