Bright Spring

Miao Jin bowed her head and remained silent.

After a while, she looked left and right and asked nonchalantly: "Gao Xu is determined to go to war, where does he want to go?"

"I don't know the place, just the target. Find the enemy's main force and fight!" Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

He then remembered that Miao Jin was writing a book, and went on to say: "Someone in the capital is speculating on my thoughts, thinking that I pay attention to battles. That person guessed right!

I have always believed that only putting as much strength and energy as possible into the preparations for a decisive battle is the right way for a military strategist.Because only the main force will fight, Fang is the key point to completely change the situation.If you do not prepare for a decisive battle in advance and avoid it, you will definitely not get much benefit. After all, the result of the battle is always proportional to the cost of the investment; and once you are forced to go to war, you will inevitably be insufficiently prepared and suffer a lot. "

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes froze, he looked at Miao Jin and said: "The commander and the soldiers are sometimes the same, the more you are cowardly, the easier it is to die.".

Chapter 461 Decision

After Zhu Gaoxu made up his mind, the progress of the matter suddenly accelerated.

All the officials and family members of the Han Palace will move to Guizhou City, and Liu Ying, who is stationed in Guizhou, will arrange the houses.

Hou Musheng of Xiping was appointed governor of Sichuan, nominally controlling the Third Division.Li Rang was promoted to the commander of Zuodu in Sichuan, replacing Wei Da in the Guangyuan area; Wei Da was transferred to Chongqing Prefecture as the land and water commander in the east of Sichuan.The four generals Sheng Yong, Pingan, Qu Neng, and Wang Bin will be the main generals in command of the Eastern Expedition of the Han Dynasty Army.

Zhu Gaoxu mobilized troops from various places and gathered as many elites as possible to form a three-way army.

The Northern Route Army was led by Qu Neng and assembled in Guizhou one after another; the Central Route Army was led by Zhu Gaoxu personally, with Wang Bin as the forward and Zhao Ping as the deputy general, and marched from Guizhou to Guangxi; Yunnan attacked and marched into Guangxi at the same time.

The total strength of the three-way army will reach 36 guards, more than 20 people!

The soldiers and horses in the three places in the southwest are almost empty.Zhu Gaoxu ordered the guards to rely on important towns and dangerous terrain to defend; in case of an attack, try to delay the time as much as possible, so as to gain opportunities for the main force to decide the war.

When discussing matters with Zhu Wenwu, Zhu Gaoxu believed that, roughly speaking, the Han Palace should invest as much troops as possible in the battles; but in terms of implementation steps, considering the problem of marching and supplying the official roads in the southwest, it should avoid excessive deployment in various battles. Put in troops.

Therefore, he roughly adopted Mr. Li's strategy and divided his troops into three groups.In the first round of attack, only two routes of more than 14 cavalry were dispatched, which was enough to deal with Wu Gaojun in Guangxi.The North Route Army was the last to gather in Guizhou, and then they took the opportunity to take the "Huguang Road" roughly, and after the rendezvous, they participated in the decisive battle that might take place west of the Xiangjiang River.

... The heavy rain that fell for a few days ago has finally stopped now.After three days in the sun, the weather is hot again.

Zhu Gaoxu was busy all morning, and after lunch, he came to the corridor room to the east of the study.

He often takes a nap in this place, so the houses around the patio are deserted.After he came over, he asked the eunuch Wang Gui to guard the entrance, and the whole small courtyard was empty.

Zhu Gaoxu waited in the gallery for a while.

The first person to come in said: "The last general followed Ning Yuanhou to fight in Lingbi. After the defeat, the soldiers scattered. The last general heard that all the brothers of Cangzhou Wei were killed by the Jingnan army. He was afraid and had to flee into the mountains. Stealing life. Now I heard that Marquis Ningyuan is in charge of the army again, so he came to vote for him."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Very good, just memorize it like this."

With the identities of Chen Dachui and Zhang Sheng, even if someone in Jin Yiwei is vigilant and suspicious, it is absolutely impossible to find any clues if they want to investigate!

Because the whole army of Cangzhou Wei was massacred|killed!Hardly anyone left.In the "Battle of Jingnan", Tan Yuan, a general of the Jingnan Army, was brave and good at fighting. After breaking through Cangzhou, he disregarded King Yan's military order prohibiting killing, directly killed|captured Tucheng, and killed all the defenders of Cangzhou... After death, where can I find out the details of Cangzhou Weijun households?

It was completely impossible to prove the identities of Chen Dachui and the others. At this time, He Fu came forward to prove that they were his old subordinates; He Fu was still leading an army outside, what can Jin Yiwei do?

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it again, nodded again and said, "No problem!"

Chen Dachui and Zhang Shengzhi retired.

Jin Shitou, Chen Dachui, and Zhang Sheng are all Zhu Gaoxu's trusted generals, as long as they are ordered, Zhu Gaoxu is more happy.After a while, another person entered the room, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't give orders directly.

She is Lady Xu, the ex-wife of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.

In Zhu Gaoxu's heart, there is basically no third brother at ordinary times.Originally, this brother seemed to be separated from Zhu Gaoxu; and in the relationship since the beginning of Jianwen, Zhu Gaoxu didn't like the behavior of the third brother very much.Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu's feelings for the third brother are very weak.

But at this time Zhu Gaoxu still said with a calm face: "We three brothers, Gao Sui and I have a particularly good relationship, but it's a pity that we are separated today, and we haven't seen each other for many years."

After hearing this, Lady Xu said softly: "King Zhao once mentioned his two elder brothers, and privately said that the relationship between the brothers is very good, and also told one thing. When your brothers escaped from the capital and came to Zhuozhou, The eldest brother’s horse was broken. Zhao Wang hurriedly gave the horse to the elder brother, but the elder brother thought that his third brother was young and his second brother’s martial arts was world-class, so he finally decided to ask the king of Han to go to the post station to grab the horse..."

The result of this matter was indeed the case, and in the end Zhu Gaoxu went to snatch the horse...but why did he feel that something was wrong? !He clearly remembered that at that time Gao Sui sat on the horse and couldn't get off and didn't say a word!Dare I remember wrongly?

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head with a wry smile. This is not the time for arguing, and there is no benefit to it. He said: "Whoever tells me to be the strongest, usually wants me to take the lead in whatever I do."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Zhu family is sorry for Miss Xu. The royal family is different from ordinary families, and sometimes they are indeed more ruthless. But the divorce of his wife should not be Gao Sui's original intention."

After hearing this, Lady Xu suddenly showed a sneer.Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and suddenly felt a slight disappointment in his heart.

After a while, he continued, "Miss Xu, can you edit a book and ask Gao Sui's thoughts on important matters?"

"If the King of Han insists on this, I dare not refuse. However, the King of Han is not afraid that King Zhao will send my letter to the court?" Lady Xu said calmly, "The concubine can be a monk, but the concubine The last time I showed up was at my uncle's house. I was afraid that my uncle would be troubled and he would be jealous."

If she is involved, the most likely person is her father, but Ms. Xu only mentions her uncle He Fu.Because she knew that Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about her father?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he had misread.Ms. Xu is petite and cute, but after all, she has been a princess, she seems to have a lot of thoughts; she can quickly think of the above if she is involved in twists and turns!

"Gao Sui will report such a thing?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

Miss Xu said softly: "Are you afraid of what happens?"

Zhu Gaoxu was still not reconciled, and said: "Ms. Xu's words are more appropriate, there is no need to persuade Gao Sui to raise troops, and the possibility of Gao Sui sending the letter to the court is very small; the false emperor and his ministers are jealous of He Fu and Xu Zhang, and even more so." It is very far-fetched...so I judge that the risk of this matter is not great."

Lady Xu said seriously: "Han Wang Mingjian, I think that Zhao Wang should not want to join you in the army.

After the father and queen mother were gone, the concubine lived in Zhao Wang's mansion for a while. At that time, Zhao Wang was not willing to participate in the rivalry between brothers.After you raised an army, King Zhao was even more unwilling. King Zhao himself is not good at using soldiers, so why would he want to go to war? "

Lady Xu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and said cautiously: "Besides, I heard what King Zhao said from what he said, and he doesn't think that you, King Han, can succeed at all."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, and said, "I won't force Miss Xu. If you don't want to, this matter will be fine."

Lady Xu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Before I arrived in Yunnan, I heard that the imperial court had mobilized a million troops in Huguang and other places. The King of Han is going to march soon. Do you have any chance of winning?"

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, and only said: "100 million is a rumor. Huguang plus Guangxi, the enemy army should exceed 60. The number of people who can really fight is estimated to be even less."

Chapter 462 Sweet Poisoned Wine

After Mrs. Xu arrived at Hanwang's mansion, Hanwang was very busy and barely paid any attention to her; now that he suddenly met her, he just wanted to use her.

Fortunately, Guo Wei, Princess of the Han Dynasty, treated her well.

The concubine who used to be the prince, but now Ms. Xu has been divorced, Guo Wei seems to sympathize with Ms. Xu.Guo Yan often booed and inquired about her health, and ordered the eunuchs to give her food and clothing generously.

The feeling of being sympathized by women is not very good, because they are all women, and it is inevitable that they will have a heart of comparison.But not long after, Lady Xu found out that Guo Wei had a good heart and didn't mean to belittle her, so she gradually appreciated it...

Lady Xu doesn't know much about military matters, but her father, Xu Zhang, was born as a general guarding the Yan Palace, and became a general after the "Battle of Jingnan".Because Ms. Xu was selected as Princess Zhao, for a while, her father was still the governor of the Five Armies.

Not long after that, Xu Zhang received a cold reception; since the Hongxi Dynasty, Xu Zhang has been doing idle work, neither participating in military aircraft nor having the opportunity to lead troops.So Xu Zhang was depressed all day long.

Sometimes Xu Zhang also talked about the battle between the two royal brothers.He said that the King of Han could no longer win like the "Battle of Jingnan".

The Jingnan Army was able to win that year, in addition to good luck, but also because several battles were in the north; it happened that the Jingnan Army had experienced elite cavalry who fought on the northern plains. The disadvantage of insufficient troops.But now the King of Han started his army from the south, south of the big river, there are many mountains and rivers; both sides are mainly infantry, but the King of Han army has no advantage of naval divisions, and cannot control the rivers and lakes!

So Xu Zhang said that he really couldn't see how the King of Han could win this war of disparity in strength.

In addition, Ms. Xu's former husband Zhao Wang never thought that his second brother could win.After Miss Xu was escorted to the Yunnan Mansion, she couldn't help but start to worry, for fear that the Han Palace would be destroyed!
