Replacing Li Yan as the military advisor and military envoy of the Generalissimo's Mansion was his uncle Wu Sanfu, while his father Wu Xiang was transferred to the governor of Jiangbei before Wu Sanfu went to Beijing to take up the military division, and the former Jiangbei Governor Zhu Chunchen was replaced by Wu Xiang. Now Wu Sanfu and Zhu Chunchen are waiting to be summoned in the waiting room in the Imperial Palace, both of them carrying a paperwork bag that looks like a shoulder bag, both of which are heavy, obviously containing some confidential documents.

The two of them have been here for a while, and at the beginning they were talking a few words enthusiastically, but now there is nothing to say, just sipping tea there slowly.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and a small yellow door appeared at the door, greeting the two of them: "Wu Junshi, Li Bingbu, and Huangye Xuan are in the palace." ”

Wu Sanfu and Li Ruolian hurriedly put down the tea cup in their hands, then got up, tidied up their clothes, and followed the small yellow door towards the main hall.

The official positions of the two are both large on one side, and they are all left governors, but the titles are slightly higher and lower, so when they enter the main hall, they are also divided into front and back. Wu Sanfu, who walked in front, is now the "No. 1 Guogong", and has just been transferred to the Duke of Wei.

The Duke of Wei was originally Xu Da's title, but it was passed on to Xu Hongji's generation who lost his title because of the "Nanjing Eunuch Rebellion". Now this No. 1 Duke of the Ming Dynasty was unearthed by Emperor Zhu and given to Wu Sanfu, that is, he was placed in the position of the number one hero, and he was overpressed by Shi Kefa and Li Yan. Now Shi Kefa has sealed the Duke of Yu Guo, and Li Yan has sealed the Duke of Zheng Guo.

And Li Ruolian, who followed Wu Sanfu into the main hall, was crowned the Duke of Ji Guoguo, and he was also a first-class hero!

When the two princes entered the main hall, Zhu Cihong did not sit stupidly on the throne, but stood in front of a map of the situation of the southwest battlefield hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, thoughtfully.

Wu Sanfu and Li Ruolian walked behind Emperor Zhu before they both knelt down and saluted.

"Minister Wu Sanfu respectfully invites St. Ann."

"Minister Li Ruolian respectfully invites His Majesty the Emperor to be Sheng'an."

"Flat." Zhu Cihong turned around and smiled at the two, and then beckoned them to come forward and look at the map with him.

"Zhu Chunjie said that after receiving reliable information, Liukou trained 50,000 Northern Expeditionary troops in Kunming, Yunnan, and took Li Dingguo as the commander, and was ready to send troops to the Northern Expedition while we were going north to besiege Beijing, what do you think?"

"If you start from Kunming, you should go through Guizhou to Hunan," Wu Sanfu said, "It is also possible to go through Long'an Mansion to enter Guangxi...... But it wasn't the Northern Expedition, it was the Eastern Crusade. ”

"The minister also thinks that it is more likely that the exile will enter Guangxi." Li Ruolian said, "There are 100,000 Sichuan-Guizhou troops in the direction of Guizhou, and all the dangers along the way have been deployed. And out of the Yangtze River is even more useless, we have deployed a division in Badong and Guizhou for a long time, and the Shizhouwei area is also heavily defended, and it is difficult for the Liukou to break through.

It is impossible to go east from Yunyang, Xiangyang is a strong city, and it has always been an important town on the western front, and it is impossible to be broken by tens of thousands of rogues.

As for leaving Qishan or entering the customs out of Chencang Road, it is even more impossible...... Over the years, the cavalry of the Liukou has been very decayed, and it is not at all the opponent of the Shuofang cavalry and the Pingxi cavalry. Moreover, the current military system of the Liukou is not used to carry cavalry, they are all hundred-man teams, and there are not many spears equipped, mainly sword soldiers, which are most suitable for fighting in mountain and forest areas. ”

"So, the real target of the Liukou is Liangguang?" Zhu Cihong frowned, "We're a little empty in the direction of Liangguang, right?" ”

Wu Sanfu said: "There is an infantry division and two regiments under the command of the Governor of Liangguang Cao (Cao Youyi), as well as eight regiments of Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Guangxi...... There are a total of 14 infantry regiments, as well as three field artillery battalions, three battery battalions, one cavalry battalion, and many regiments for training. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "That's twenty regiments, five field artillery battalions, and one cavalry battalion...... Enough should be enough! Then let Shi Ruien bring a staff group into Guangdong to assist Cao Youyi. ”

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if Li Dingguo really ventures to send troops to Guangxi, it will be an opportunity for us to annihilate the elite of the Liukou in one fell swoop!" ”

"Really?" Zhu Cihong asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks that the enemy should be lured deep into Guangdong, and it is better to let the Liukou advance to the vicinity of Guangzhou." Wu Sanfu said, "Let's secretly mobilize a group of mule soldiers into Guangdong...... There was originally one battalion of cavalry in Guangdong, and if four battalions of mule soldiers were transferred, there would be 2,500 elite cavalry. ”

2,500 cavalry is nothing on the battlefield in the north, but it would be very powerful to pull it to Guangdong to deal with the mountain troops from Yunnan.

Zhu Cihong nodded, "That's it!" As long as Li Dingguo dares to come, Guangdong will be the place where he will be defeated! ”

In history, Li Dingguo attacked Guangdong once and was delayed for six months under Xinhui City. Although later generations threw the pot of the battle of Xinhui to Zheng Sen, it was so difficult to fight Xinhui, and Li Dingguo's weakness in attacking the fortified position could also be seen.

And there are many fortified cities in Liangguang, and the troops of Cao and Jin are not weak, plus Zheng Sen's Dongning Army and the cavalry regiment transferred from the Central Plains, I am afraid that Li Dingguo's 50,000 Northern Expeditionary Army will be folded in Guangdong.

"As long as the Liukou are defeated in Guangdong, it will be easy for us to recover Sichuan......" Zhu Cihong looked at the map and said to himself.

"Your Majesty, is the imperial court going to attack Sichuan?" Li Ruolian asked, "When will the troops be dispatched?" ”

Wu Sanfu said: "You have to finish beating Dongyu, right?" Now the northwest is still fighting with the Yaerqiang Khanate, and there is still the battle of Pingliao in the northeast...... If we fight Sichuan again, I am afraid that the troops will be insufficient. ”

The Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty did not think that the rogues in Sichuan were easy to deal with...... In the eyes of the former military advisor Li Yan, Dashun was a more difficult enemy to deal with than the Qing Dynasty.

The old Manchuria of the Qing Dynasty was tens of thousands of people, so they were too afraid of casualties when they fought the war. When encountering a weak enemy, it is naturally arrogant, but once it encounters a very lethal enemy, it will shrink back and dare not fight.

And there are many Liukou people, and they can recruit warriors from the Sichuan people, so they are not afraid of casualties. Although their total strength was only 40% of the Ming army at most, they could still hold on to it relying on the dangerous mountains.

In addition, the soldiers of the rogue can be taken off production, so they can also cope with long-term wars. Therefore, when attacking Sichuan, we must be prepared for a long and bitter battle, unless the elite of the Liukou can kill themselves from Sichuan and Yunnan......

As for the battle on several fronts, it is not a problem for the current Ming army.

After all, Fu Lin is already a turtle in an urn, and it doesn't need a lot of troops to destroy him, and Duoduo will send troops to Korea, which is not a threat for the time being.

The only thing that was a little troublesome was actually the Mongols, and if they frequently crossed the Yanshan Mountains and went south to burn and kill, it would cause a little trouble for the Ming army besieging Beijing.

"The Mongolian side...... How is the Generalissimo's Office prepared to cope? ”

Hearing that Zhu Cihong turned the topic back to the northern battlefield, Wu Sanfu immediately replied: "The Generalissimo's Mansion wants to let the acting king go out of Tumochuan, and convene the leaders of Monan and Mobei Mongolia in Tumochuan. ”

"Acting king?" Zhu Cihong asked, "Is he okay?" ”

Li Ruolian said: "There are more than 10,000 elite horsemen under the command of the king, and there are also Ordos Mongolia to help...... Moreover, in the previous battle of the Hetao, the musketeers of the Dai army performed excellently, which made the Mongols suffer enough. ”

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, we can also support a Mongolian Great Khan to sing against Fulin." ”

"Who to support?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"How is the Zasak Erin of Ordos?" Wu Sanfu said, "He is a descendant of Dayan Khan, a serious descendant of the Golden Family, and he is completely worthy of being a Great Khan." ”

"This ......" Zhu Cihong hesitated a little, "Can this person unify Monan and Mobei Mongolia?" ”

"Of course not." Wu Sanfu said, "If he has such strength, we can't support him, this Erlinchen's strength is just right." ”
