Chapter 188: All or Nothing

"Alright, don't talk about it." Wu Kezhong said: "My title is yours a long time ago, you didn't fight, An An was divided into the court to guard the border, and I wronged you." Less nonsense, let's talk about it, you feel like fighting against the Tile Thorn Cavalry, this time your second uncle and I are going to fight them. ”

Wu Jin said: "Yes." ”

He closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, and the sword light and sword shadow of the original battle resurfaced in front of him, he pondered for a while, and said: "I think the cavalry of the Tile Spur Headquarters is no worse than the three thousand battalions. Wu Jin naturally would not hide it from his father and uncle, and he was even more tireless in saying it.

From the arrangement, the fighting, and even his impression, the combat methods of the tile spur cavalry, the style of weapons used, etc., came in detail.

Wu Kezhong could hear it, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. But he was secretly relieved in his heart: "The child has grown up, and he can't be treated as a child." ”

No matter how many military books you read or how many times you train, you might as well fight a real battle.

Wu Kezhong only listened to Wu Jin tell the battle he had fought in a clear and coherent manner, and knew that Wu Jin was no longer what it used to be, if he still relied on martial arts to fight before, he had reached another level at this moment.

can be regarded as a qualified general.

So he was relieved.

After all, Wu Jin's injuries had not healed, and he was tired after talking for half an hour.

Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin left.

Back in the camp, the two brothers sat opposite each other.

After not speaking for a while, Wu Keqin said: "If according to what my nephew said, this war is a hard battle, and Chengguo Gong has the intention of making a desperate bet?" ”

Wu Kezhong slowly pulled out his saber, took out a handkerchief and said, "Cheng Guogong is gambling, isn't he also gambling?" Otherwise, do so much superfluous things first, what to do? ”

Wu Kezhong remembered at this moment that he also wrote a letter to Yang Hong that seemed to be appreciative, but it was actually a separation. fell into Wu Kezhong's hands, and after Wu Kezhong read it, he burned it directly.

Just don't know it exists.

But this also made Wu Kezhong understand Ye Xian's intentions.

Without him, there are too many things to do first. There are so many things first, all of which have a purpose, to lure the army north. In fact, many people understand it.

What if you just understand, and what if you don't?

On the grassland, there are few terrain with tens of thousands of people in ambush, and for hundreds of thousands of cavalry, what is a few thousand ambushes?

Therefore, everyone acquiesced in this battlefield.

Wu Keqin took a deep breath and said, "This is a big gamble. ”

Wu Kezhong said: "Second brother, you also saw that your nephew has been able to support the family, and now I don't have any other thoughts, but I am just desperate, you and my brother are not desperate when they go into battle that time?" ”

"Are you scared?"

Wu Keqin said: "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little excited, as my nephew said, the scale of this battle is probably more than that of Taizong's Northern Expedition, if only Emperor Taizong was here." He must have been very happy. ”

Wu Kezhong said: "Nonsense, his old man is here, and he has three dares first, and he doesn't dare to go south." ”

Emperor Taizong's biggest worry about Mongolia was that he could not find the main Mongolian force, so he could only lead a large army to hide with the Mongols on the steppe.

If more than 100,000 horsemen appeared at the border pass, Emperor Taizong would wake up laughing in his dreams.

The two brothers talked for a while, and then went to bed early, although it was not yet dark, but they also knew that it was not certain where they would sleep next when they went out to the army.

Naturally, you have to rest a little longer.

And just when the army left Datong, the Datong recital also arrived in Beijing.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong is not the first time to hold such a position, and he knows very well what he should do? No matter how tired you are, there is one thing you can't forget every day.

That is to play for Beijing.

What do you do every day? What's the problem? What did he do?

One by one, they flew to Jingshi.

Zhu Qizhen ascended the altar to worship the generals, and it seemed that the major affairs of the military state were handed over to Chengguo Gong. But if Cheng Guogong was really serious, he might be fine at that time, but not necessarily in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary for Cheng Guogong to report more and ask for more instructions, especially a minister like him who is in a suspicious place.

However, Zhu Qizhen is also very sensible.

In addition to receiving the first letter from Cheng Guogong, Zhu Qizhen ordered to reiterate his trust in Cheng Guogong, and asked Cheng Guogong not to report everything, but to make his own decisions.

Cheng Guogong agreed. But every day, a letter is still hurried.

Zhu Qizhen didn't give any more orders.

Zhu Qizhen seems to be hidden, even if there are any needs and problems in Beijing, they are sent to Chengguo Gong through the name of the Ministry of War, the Cabinet, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Because Zhu Qizhen never felt that he was a military wizard.

Now in the war, he feels that the less he intervenes, the greatest help to Chengguo Gong.

But it seems that he doesn't care about anything, it's not that Zhu Qizhen doesn't pay attention to the big war. It's taken too seriously.

Paying attention to any note about the army of Chengguo is the first wave of processing, no matter when it arrives, it must be sent to the palace and wake him up immediately.

Zhu Qizhen also left the entire cabinet team in Wenyuan Pavilion. Anyway, in Wenyuan Pavilion, every pavilion elder has a value room, and the space is not large, but it is also two rooms inside and outside, and a bed can still be placed in the room.

It looks like before the end of the Great War in the North, all the cabinet ministers don't want to leave the palace.

Because once there was an emergency, Zhu Qizhen sent someone to ask the cabinet minister to enter the palace late at night, first, to delay time, and second, to alarm

Too big.

After all, without the cabinet's signature, Zhu Qizhen's holy decree can only be regarded as a middle decree. It has no legal effect.

In many major decisions, without the opinion of the cabinet, Zhu Qizhen did not dare to make decisions easily.

That's right, in Zhu Qizhen's view, there is only one kind of major decision, that is, the defeat of the front line. If victory can be handled slowly, if you lose, you have to race against time.

Zhu Qizhen didn't want to encounter this situation, but the problem of the Yellow River made Zhu Qizhen have a feeling that many times, he was afraid of something and what he came.

Zhu Qizhen can only be prepared.

And the cabinet ministers are also very busy.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Shaofu, etc., the Ming Dynasty didn't know how many departments were linked, and the cabinet didn't know how many things it wanted to do.

They don't have time to go home and rest.

Even Zhang Fu, who is the most free and has nothing to do, also takes on an important responsibility at this moment, that is, to appease Zhu Qizhen. Explain the situation on the front line for Zhu Qizhen.

Generally speaking, after Zhu Qizhen went to court, he would immediately summon Zhang Fu.

The Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Jiubian reported by themselves, the local yamen, and the news in the Chengguo Public Army were summarized and let Zhang Fu see it.

Then ask Zhang Fu what the situation is on the front?

Zhu Qizhen thought he knew enough about the military. At this moment, when the fight really started, Zhu Qizhen realized that what he thought he understood was what he thought. In his opinion, many wars are a little inexplicable, and after listening to what Zhang Fu said, he suddenly realized, oh, the reason why he did this, Cheng Guogong's intention is here, and the intention of the tile spur is here.

On this day, Zhang Fu was also as usual, looking at these recitals, he first looked at Cheng Guogong's recital, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became solidified, and then melted faintly.

It's not that Zhang Fu is no longer surprised or worried, but that Zhang Fu, as a veteran, controls his emotional expression is the most basic basic skill.

He had just had an emotional outburst in a moment, and he immediately made up for it.

He secretly said in his heart: "What's the matter with Zhu Yong? How was this battle fought? Immediately, he gathered together the news from other channels just now, and a clear and complete strategic layout emerged in Zhang Fu's heart.

At this moment, Zhang Fu's strategic intentions and Zhu Yong's strategic intentions are already clear.

It's just that he knows better that there are too many uncertainties in this battle.

The most important are two.

First, there is the issue of the strength of the Tile Spurs. Judging from the intelligence of various places, the number of people in the main force of the tile spur has always been an estimate. And the range is very large, 100,000 can also say more than 100,000, and 190,000 can also say more than 100,000.

But on the battlefield, there is a big difference, not to mention, the Tile Spur cavalry is very mobile, will the nearby Tile Spur cavalry quickly come to help?

Second, Zhang Fu was worried about Zhu Yong's command ability.
