Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You can only use infantry to form a defensive formation. But it is impossible to bring the slow-moving WISCO vehicles, and it is also impossible to carry heavy artillery."

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Twenty thousand infantry and horses will march to the Luqu River area in three to four days; without supplies and heavy artillery, they will resist the main force of the Tatar army for about five days..."

Qu Neng clasped his fists and said: "This strategy is my proposal, please be the bait for the forward!"

Zhu Gaoxu said sternly: "The lives of [-] soldiers, once the defense is breached, there will be death and no life on the vast grassland! Will Duke Ba be able to resist it?"

Qu Neng was silent for a while, and said: "I should do my best, if you lose the battle, come and see me!"

The tent became quiet again, and the slight pop|crack of the charcoal fire could be heard clearly.

In today's Ming Dynasty, both infantry and cavalry can be skilled in commanding the generals who are the most skilled in combat. Zhu Gaoxu believes that the ranking should be Sheng Yong, Qu Neng, Zhang Fu and others... not the "Battle of Jingnan" A guard commanded the Duke of the Kingdom, or several Han Palace guards of the Duke of Han in the "Battle of Sin".

Ping'an's use of infantry is also sparse and barely qualified. In the later period of the "Battle of Jingnan", the Jianwen court had no cavalry capable of fighting. Ping'an led the infantry to fight against Zhu Gaoxu.So Zhu Gaoxu knew his ability well in his heart.

Even Qu Neng didn't dare to answer clearly, so Zhu Gaoxu naturally fell into silence.

No matter what the strategy is, if you can't win when you fight with real swords and guns, it is useless!Using the army as bait, if defeated, the trick will definitely become a joke of "stealing chickens and losing money".

Chapter 687 The Arrogance of the Past

Outside the tent, the night has quietly opened.

Zhu Gaoxu soon tended to adopt Qu Neng's strategy; he was unwilling to give up the opportunity!As long as he observed the emotions of the generals around him and their eagerness to fight, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't ignore it.What's more, he thinks that the chance is not small.

But this battle is still quite risky.Even if he became an emperor, the things he faced were difficult to be sure.

"Cough..." Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly cleared his throat.In an instant, the gazes of almost all the generals were focused on his face, full of anticipation.

Zhu Gaoxu endured it for a while, and said: "Before tomorrow, all the generals will come to this tent again to wait for the military order."

All the generals had no choice but to hold their fists together and said: "I will obey the order."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: "You all go back to the camp. Get up early tomorrow and tell the soldiers to rest early."

Everyone will leave with courtesy.

People grow up in failure and regret.In the past, he was addicted to gambling because he was too lucky. Every time he placed a bet, he wanted to win, so he was so courageous... But now, Zhu Gaoxu finds that his courage is getting smaller and smaller, because he has learned to consider "Losing" and how to bear the consequences after losing.

If Qu Neng's army made a mistake, Zhu Gaoxu would lose [-] elite soldiers and a prince who was good at fighting.His prestige, which he managed to manage with great difficulty, will also be greatly affected.

Because of the price, he didn't make a decision right away.He held back, and was going to wait for one night before thinking about it!

Zhu Gaoxu stared at the cracked charcoal like magma, like a fortune-teller observing the texture to judge the secret.There are few trees on the grassland, the dry grass is not burned, and the charcoal is light, so the Ming army carried some charcoal in the luggage.Normally only emperors and generals would use charcoal.

At this time, he put away the map in front of him, turned his upper body and handed it to Duan Xuehen, then patted a felt blanket on the ground and said, "Come and sit down."

Duan Xuehen walked up silently and knelt beside him.Zhu Gaoxu was sitting cross-legged.

"I'm a very competitive person, and I've always refused to admit defeat." Zhu Gaoxu said slowly.Duan Xuehen didn't respond, but her face turned around.Zhu Gaoxu knows that although she is reticent, she is a person who can listen and likes to listen to herself.

He smiled and said, "I came to this place where birds don't lay eggs, but I have some insights."

Duan Xuehen looked at Zhu Gaoxu's profile with questioning eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, then pointed to the charcoal fire in front of him and said, "Look at our current days, the grass has grown into the tent, and in the cold night, it is like the primitive people in ancient times guarding a pile of fire. Civilization is far away, On the contrary, it makes people feel the essence of human life, which is to survive, and to survive better?"

Duan Xuehen finally said: "Although the Holy Majesty is young, he is considerate of others, and everyone is willing to be by your side."

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."

When Duan Xuehen saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Zhu Gaoxu admired her rare smile with longing.

It's only been dark for a while, and it's still early.Zhu Gaoxu was beside the charcoal fire, meditating for a while, and chatting with Duan Xuehen for a while.

Then he shouted: "Come, bring up the Tartars."

The guard answered at the tent door and walked out again.

Soon, a man with hairy hair was escorted in by the guards.His arms were tied behind his back, there were welts on his face, and the fur robe on his body was newly torn, looking a little embarrassed.

The guard bowed and said, "Report to the Holy Majesty, I'm here to take off my joy."

After hearing this, Tuo Huan was taken aback, then hurriedly knelt down on the ground, staggered and struggled to stabilize his body, and worshiped in Chinese: "The sinful minister bowed to the Holy One, long live the Holy One, long live, long live!"

Now it was Zhu Gaoxu's turn to be taken aback.After a while, he showed a meaningful smile and said: "Untie the joy! I will be tolerant to the Tatars who took refuge in Ming Dynasty. Look at Hami's King Zhongshun (the first King Zhongshun was King Su of the Yuan Dynasty) His younger brother, at this time is King Su’s son succeeding to the throne), after he sincerely surrenders, how well the court treats him.”

Take off the joy and kowtow to thank the grace.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the open space opposite and said, "Sit down here."

Tuo Huan thanked him again, and when the guard let him loose the rope, he stretched his arms and sat down cross-legged.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't take it seriously, and said directly: "I heard that Ben Yali Shihan became the Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom for a short time, and he was not convinced by the public. I thought he would seize this opportunity and want to increase his prestige through his achievements. Therefore, we have to compete with Master Wang. But I didn't expect him to run so fast, I'm so cowardly!"

Tuohuan said: "Although Ben Yali Shihan is not powerful, he has great prestige. He is a descendant of Xue Chanhan (Kublai Khan) from the golden family. Many tribes support him.

The Holy Majesty suddenly led an army to come, and Ben Yali was not prepared enough to order the Mongols from other places to gather.The Khan discussed with the ministers and decided to harass and delay the army of the Holy Majesty, and then fled north to avoid the sharp edge. When the army rations of the Holy Majesty were exhausted, the troops would naturally retreat. "

Zhu Gaoxu nodded solemnly and said: "Ben Yali Shihan is very knowledgeable about current affairs and knows that the Ming army is invincible. Do the Mongols value their origin so much?"

Tuo Huan said: "Go back to the Holy Lord, all the ministries recognize the Golden Family. The previous Ulei Timur Khan (the former Khan, Guilichi) was an Asote, and because he was not from the Golden Family, the Wacha people had Wulei Timur Khan Guilichi had a whimsical idea, and wanted to form an alliance with the Ming court to attack the Wacha tribes who did not obey him; as a result, this move caused dissatisfaction among more tribes and was assassinated soon. "

Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtfully: "No wonder the Mongolian Khan is unwilling to accept the canonization of Ming Dynasty."

Tuo Huan said cautiously: "When Timur was alive, Ben Yali got the support of Timur (the cripple) and wanted to conquer Beiping in the name of 'countering the rebellion'."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing.

Tuohuan said again: "After Alutai supported Ben Yali's sweating as a great sweat, the Wacha people hated the Dayuan 'court' even more. The Dahan couldn't get help from the powerful Wacha tribes, so it was decided Withdraw to the north and avoid it for the time being."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded suddenly, with a look of conviction.

Gradually, he admired the acting skills of Tuo Huan, and he said it as if it was true... If this is really a trick of the Tatars to lure the enemy deep.Although Zhu Gaoxu couldn't be completely sure, he was almost sure that it was a trick.

The intention of this disenchantment was to lure|lure the Ming army into being fooled, pretending to be loyal; but Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to get a lot of other information from this Tatar high-ranking man.

Zhu Gaoxu continued to set his words: "Why does Wacha hate the Tatar Khan?"

Tuohuan said: "Alutai wants to use the official system of Dayuan Khan to get more benefits; one of the major incomes is the business dealings with the 'true|lord' area of ​​the Western Regions. Both the Great Khan and the leader of Wacha believe it 'True|Lord', it is very convenient to do business. But Waci occupies a good position and makes profits from business dealings, so they know that the 'imperial court' Alutai has always wanted to eradicate them!"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized.He didn't know until today that the fundamental contradiction between Tatar and Wacha is not only because of new and old hatred, but the key is the conflict of interests.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "I see that you are very loyal, so I will spare you the crime of harassing Master Wang. When I defeat Ben Yali, I will reward you heavily."

Tuo Huan put his hands on his chest, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity and tolerance."
