Chapter 439: Advantages

If it weren't for Zhou Heng's efforts to turn the tide, the capital would have been broken by Zeng Xian, and the country would have been destroyed at this time.

Emperor An has a gentle temperament and has always loved his younger siblings. Zhou Heng was taboo from entering Beijing, and did not confin him, only that he could not leave Beijing, and often announced that he entered the palace to talk, and the brothers were indeed brothers and friends in the past two years. Although there was an element of Shen Mingzhu blowing the wind on the pillow, Zhou Heng didn't know that Shen Mingzhu helped him for the sake of the contract with Cui Keyin, but directly remembered Emperor Zhi'an's kindness to him.

Whether it is the revenge of the flesh and blood relatives, or the humiliation of the snow besieging the capital, with Zhou Heng's character of revenge, this battle must be fought and will definitely be fought.

Cui Keyin understood what kind of person Zhou Heng was, so he had other plans after learning that he had counterinsurgency, and he did not say a word of dissuasion when he went north to crusade against Zeng Xian.

Now, after more than a year of preparation, in the name of touring the mountains and rivers, the ambush with grain as bait quickly divided the winner and loser, how could Cui Keyin not be concerned?

Since the news of the defeat of Sheephorn Fort, Zhou Heng began to build a horse farm, gather skilled craftsmen to develop strong crossbows, and test gunpowder, all for this day.

After he ascended the throne, he changed the impression of a weak prince and became a strong emperor, otherwise how could he drive the expedition in person, and how could he let the courtiers obediently follow the northern tour? There are examples of Emperor An's failure in the past, but I am afraid that the capital will not be able to get out.

The emperor went to Beijing for a trip, and it would take more than half a year just to prepare at the earliest, how could Luan Jia be easily dispatched? Not to mention anything else, there are thousands of people in the pomp and circumstance of honor guards and car drivers.

This time Zhou Heng traveled, everything was simple. Even Cui Keyin only brought a maid to serve with her, and nothing else. Otherwise, how can they keep up with the speed of the troops?

After doing all this, the results are about to be revealed.

The more urgent the moment, the more calm Zhou Heng became, seeing Cui Keyin's big eyes staring nervously at him, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, the good news will come soon." ”

Cui Keyin asked: "What is the emperor's so-called good news?" ”

Is it to defeat the Tatars and let Zeng Xian escape?

Zhou Heng looked ahead. "There is an endless steppe in Tatar. It's a lot of land. ”

“……”

Who does not know that Tatar has only land, and only grass grows on the land? The Tatar people could neither farm nor weave, but only graze cattle and sheep in the meadows. There was nothing on the table except beef, mutton, milk, and goat's milk. No fish. There are also no fresh vegetables.

Days like this. They've passed generation after generation. If it were the people of the Great Jia Dynasty, they wouldn't be able to live a day.

Zhou Heng still looked at Cui Keyin with a smile, and said softly: "Any emperor." If you can open up the territory and expand the territory, it will definitely be recorded in the history books and be a generation of Ming Jun. ”

The Ming Monarch and the Virtuous Monarch are not self-sealed, only the emperor who opens up the territory can prove the strength of the empire and is a well-deserved Ming Jun. For two thousand years, there are only a handful of such emperors.

Cui Keyin looked at him in a daze, and said, "Does the emperor mean to include the vast grasslands of Tatar into the territory?" ”

How is this possible? Even if Zeng Xian was defeated and killed, the Tatars would quickly choose an heir and then fight against the Great Jia Dynasty. They have a vast territory, full of grasslands, no cities, no fixed dwellings, turn over their horses and run, wherever they go, their tents are set up, and they can graze cattle and sheep again.

Dajia lived in the city of Zhuang, and the city was there, and it was easy for the Tatars to come and harass it. However, if the Great Jia Dynasty wanted to attack the Tatars, it was very difficult. Not to mention anything else, the endless grassland, where do you go to find him? Even if you want to chase and attack, you have to know where they are.

It is really unrealistic to include the grassland in the map of the Great Jia Dynasty.

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not?" ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to achieve." Cui Keyin sighed and said truthfully: "Tatar soldiers are good at fighting, how can they be used by the emperor?" I'm afraid that it will lead the wolf into the house. ”

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows again and said, "The sum of his young and strong women and children is less than 100,000, so why not slaughter them all?" Yin Yin, don't forget, she slaughtered 200,000 of my elites in Giethoorn Fort first. ”

Can that be the same? Cui Keyin was speechless for a long time, but she really didn't know what to say.

After the meal, the tea set was put on and the tea was drunk. Cui Keyin coaxed Lele to sleep, and when she came back, she saw Zhou Hengyi reading a book on the big pillow, and hurriedly asked, "Did the war report come in?" ”

Why do you still have the leisure to read at this time? I heard that over there in the big tent of the Chinese army, Tang Tianzheng and the courtiers were still handling official business, shouldn't he go there to join them?

Zhou Heng didn't raise his head and said: "It's here, the battle is fierce, and it's not over yet." ”

"It's been a few days, and it's not over yet? Is the battle report true? "No wonder Cui Keyin is suspicious, it's really been a battle for three or four days, three or four days without eating, drinking, or sleeping, just non-stop fighting, who can stand it?

Zhou Heng heard Cui Keyin's unusual tone, looked up at her, and said, "I have increased my troops again, and the soldiers who set up the ambush can replace them for a while." The leader of the gang did not stop cooking, so that all the soldiers could have a hot meal at any time. ”

Cui Keyin was speechless for a while before she said, "But can Zeng Xian let them eat at ease?" ”

This is a battlefield, is it just to lay down your arms and dismount to eat, and eat your head?

"Don't worry." Zhou Heng put down the book in his hand and put it on Cui Keyin's shoulder, and said: "Our side has now increased our troops to 90,000 people, and Zeng Xian only has 50,000 soldiers in his hands. On the battlefield, our side has the initiative, and the situation is all under our control. I have increased my troops twice, and there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, so I can't divide my troops to rest and eat, doesn't it seem that our generals are too incompetent? ”

The generals who went out with the car this time were all the best talents in the hundreds, and they wanted to avenge their father and brother one by one. The general doesn't cherish the soldiers, but he doesn't deserve to be a general, how can a general not want to design a plan to let the soldiers eat well and rest well?

On the contrary, it is the Tatar side, which is completely passive. Lu Ce will definitely restrain him, he can't rest, can't eat, and can only fight tiredly.

Cui Keyin figured this out and said, "Presumably the generals have already understood the emperor's policy?" ”

Before sending troops, the court discussed for two days.

Zhou Heng was a little proud, and said, "How is my plan to be a tired enemy, can I deserve Yin Yin's praise?" ”

It's going to be rewarded. Cui Keyin obediently kissed him on the cheek.

Zhou Heng became even more proud, and said, "Your husband never fights uncertain battles, so don't worry." ”

Before she finished speaking, Cui Keyin remembered something, let out a low voice, and said, "The emperor has increased his troops by 20,000 more?" ”

"yes. Our troops are overwhelming, one person and one foot, and Zeng Xian was trampled to death. Zhou Heng was still proud, still with an expression of begging for praise. (To be continued.) )
