The important northern town of the Ming Dynasty was the strongest fortress facing the north in Gyeonggi Province.
Dulbert's troops were wandering around Yumuchuan and could attack the enemy at any time and invade south. There were tens of thousands of troops inside and outside Datong City, and the atmosphere was tense because everyone knew that before winter came, Dulbert's troops would definitely attack the enemy.
This year's grassland has been droughty, and a lot of pasture has died. The Dulbert area has been the worst hit.
They won't be able to survive this winter unless they enter the customs and rob some people.
It is precisely for this reason...
Chen You, who was sitting in the commander's tent, looked at the map of the entire Ming Dynasty and sneered. If not for this, how could he have sent people to persuade the Dulbert people to invade south.
Because I agreed to their conditions.
Let them cross Datong and the Xuanfu area, as far as Huailai, and plunder them wantonly for half a month.
In half a month, I was done.
When the time comes, if Dulbert's men realize what they are doing, they will consciously leave the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If they don't, they will be faced by the elites of the regiment and battalion instead of the few people they have.
For the sake of layout, great sacrifices were made this time.
He promised to grant the title of king to the Khan of Dulbert's tribe, promised to found Li Manzhu a large amount of grain, grass and cloth, promised to recruit rebels from Sichuan, and promised to officially ennoble the Miao king of Huguang.
The good news is that Tang Xing is a fool!
Chen You persuaded Tang Xing in just a few words, saying, General Tang, this is a God-given opportunity for you. As long as you can achieve great military exploits, you will be relied upon by your majesty. When the time comes, you will surpass Hang Yu. When will Tang Guifei give birth to a baby?
Prince, when the time comes, with your support, both internally and externally, there is no doubt that there will be hope of competing for the throne.
When Tang Xing heard this, his eyes turned green.
Chen You also said, Yu Qian asked us to guard the north and try our best to defend and not take the initiative to attack, because he was afraid that our generals would become powerful. However, this would also deprive you of the hope of becoming a knight. We might as well divide our troops into Datong Xuanfu and go to Yumuchuan when the time comes.
A generation of cavalry who take the initiative to pursue and suppress Dulbert's tribe can achieve unparalleled military exploits.
Tang Xing hesitated for a while and agreed.
Later, Ming scouts discovered traces of Dulbert's cavalry in Yumuchuan.
Tang Xing attacked decisively.
And ordered Chen You to lead Datong troops as backup.
After Chen You received the military order, without saying a word, he first beheaded the official sent by Tang Xing to deliver the order, and then told the Datong garrison and his generals that this person was Dulbert's spy and wanted to move us away from the mountains to Yumuchuan.
They can then cross Guancheng and attack Datong, which is empty of troops.
Then Chen You backhandedly sent Tang Xing's troop strength and action route to Dulbert Khan on the other side of Yumuchuan.
Everything goes as expected.
People from Dulbert's tribe sent a secret message, and Tang Xing's entire army was wiped out in Yumuchuan!
What happened next was just as he and others expected.
Zhu Qiyu did not dare to send out the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang. He could only let all the troops from the surrounding guards enter Datong and Xuanfu to prevent Dulbert's troops from breaking through the defense line and leaving the capital directly facing the military front.
There is no need to worry about the Xuanfu. Zhao Fu is now responsible for the important responsibilities of the Xuanfu.
But all of Datong fell into his own hands.
Outside the tent, a personal guard said: "General Chen, all the generals have been ordered to come."
Chen Youdao: "Let them come in."
After a moment, there was a rush of people entering, numbering 10 to 20, all middle and senior generals of Datong's forces, half of whom were generals of regiments and camps who had followed him from Gyeonggi Province, and half of whom were from the local guards of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
general.
The former is Yu Qian's power.
The latter, one of our own!
During this period of time, Chen You did nothing but did one thing: convince the generals under the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
It's not difficult.
On the one hand, everyone knows that military generals were suppressed and lost their military power.
On the other hand, people go to higher places.
As long as the plan succeeds, not only can everyone get back their military power, but they can also become heroes of the emperor's restoration just like Taizhong Jingnan. They will be generously rewarded, knighted, and hereditary for their descendants.
There are also one or two who are unwilling to start a fight together.
Well, he died suddenly.
The problem lies with the generals of the regiment and camp. These people are loyal to Yu Qian and are unlikely to be persuaded.
Chen You looked at the generals and chuckled, "The cavalry of Dulbert's tribe defeated the Tang Xing tribe in Yumuchuan. We just got the news that they have marched straight to Datong with their strength. An offensive and defensive battle is inevitable."
The capital commander Xu Min immediately said: "General Chen, is the news reliable?"
Chen You sneered and slapped a spy report on the commander's face, "See for yourself."
There is no need to look down upon this regimental commander.
I guess he won't give in either.
Xu Min picked up the spy information from the ground in embarrassment, took a look at it, and immediately said: "Then how do we defend ourselves?"
Chen Youdao: "First set up the first line of defense on the side of the Great Wall. Xu Du will take command. You will lead the regiment and battalion troops to set up the defense. How about we and other local guards, who are slightly weaker, serve as backup?"
Xu Min sneered in his heart, Chen You is so afraid of death?
No problem.
The regiment and camp are all veterans who have fought in hundreds of battles. If they cannot hold the pass of the Great Wall, it would be a joke.
Immediately said: "The last general takes orders."
No more nonsense, he immediately led his generals out of the tent, ordered the strength of the regiment and camp, and immediately marched to the Great Wall Pass. However, after Xu Min left Datong City, he looked back and sneered.
What is Chen You thinking...
Do you think I don’t know?
First, they deliberately refused to support Tang Xing, causing the entire Tang Xing army to be wiped out. Now they moved the regiments and battalions to the pass, leaving only the local guards of the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Datong.
Although there are not many, there are still ten or twenty thousand people.
But Xu Min still didn't want to believe that Chen You dared to rely on this to fight back to Gyeonggi?
Believe it or not, Xu Min was helpless.
Because this is the position of Yu Qian, the Minister of War, not to interfere with or destroy, but to sit back and watch.
In the handsome tent, Chen You looked at the people who came in slowly and said with a smile: "Master Shen Hou, everything is ready and all we need is Dongfeng. Should we fight back to the capital now, or wait for the signal from Fang Ying and Liang Yue?"
Shen Yu was not among the generals dispatched this time.
But it didn't bother him.
He pretended to be sick, and then secretly mingled with Chen You's personal guards and sneaked out of the capital.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "No wait, act according to the plan."
Chen You was a little worried, "What if Liang Yun fails to escape, what if Fang Ying regrets it?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said: "No, over in Sichuan, Liang Yue, as one of the chief military officers, will definitely convince Hang Yu to divide the soldiers into two groups, one from Yuzhou to Sichuan and the other from Hanzhong to Sichuan. In this case, Hang Yu will not be able to control Liang at all.
Yun, he has to turn around in a matter of minutes, and most of the local guards along the way are people from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Maybe they will fight back to the capital together with Liang Yuan. As for Fang Ying... When the Miao rebellion in Huguang comes together, let's rise again
If things go wrong, there will be no turning back for him.”
Fang Ying is the chief military officer and can lead the army to fight back.
The problem is that Fang Ying has all the troops under his command.
Chen You and the others don't care.
If Fang Ying, as Nan He Hou, can't even solve this problem, then he is a waste. With him or without him, he would be the same.
Chen You immediately cheered up and said, "Give the order to break camp!"
Attack.
Fight back to Gyeonggi! This chapter has been completed!
