Chapter 390: Decision-making and Arrangement
Xu Chu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"The last general commands!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, as long as the last general still has a breath, there will be absolutely no problems in Shanhaiguan!"
Zhu Hao listened to Xu Chu's words, nodded slightly, and then instructed:
"General Xu, after you arrive at Shanhaiguan, as long as you defend immediately, don't take the initiative to attack, so as not to be captured by Zhongjian!"
"As long as you hold on until the end of the war, it will be a great achievement!"
Xu Chu listened to Zhu Hao's words, nodded again and again:
"The last general obeys!"
After Zhu Hao finished instructing Xu Chu, he continued to speak:
"Qin Bao, Guan Yun listen to orders!"
When Qin Qiong and Guan Yu heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"The last general!"
Zhu Hao watched the two of them step forward, and then continued to speak:
"Order Qin Bao to be the main general, Guan Yun to be the deputy general, lead 80,000 troops and horses to cross the Liao River, carry out a thunderous sweep of Jianyu, and recover the lost territory in Liaodong!"
Guan Yu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists:
"The last general commands!"
Qin Qiong did not receive the order, but said with a sad face:
"Your Highness, Shanhaiguan has dispatched 50,000 horses, and 80,000 soldiers and horses have been dispatched to cross the Liao River, so there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Guangning!"
"With such a small number of soldiers and horses, how can you resist the army of Jianjian captives?"
"Your Highness, it's really inappropriate for you to do this!"
Zhu Hao listened to Qin Qiong's words, waved his hand and said:
"General Qin, what you just said is very right, Shanhaiguan has to be defended, and there can be too few soldiers and horses to cross the river to fight, so that the defense troops and horses in Guangning can only be reduced accordingly!"
"Although this is a bit risky, this king believes that he can defend Quang Ninh City!"
"Besides, in Guangning City, there are not only 20,000 soldiers and horses, but also tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, these people's injuries will gradually improve, and they are also the main force defending the city!"
Zhu Hao said, seeing that Qin Qiong was still persuasive, he hurriedly continued to speak, not giving Qin Qiong a chance to speak:
"Okay, General Qin, you don't have to say more!"
"Military orders are like mountains, quickly receive orders!"
Qin Qiong listened to Zhu Hao's words, and reluctantly hugged her fists and said:
"The last general commands!"
After Zhu Hao saw Qin Qiong receiving the order, he spoke again:
"General Cheng, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Guangning City, you take 10,000 and camp in the northwest corner of Guangning City, and use Guangning City as horns!"
"If Jianlu attacks Quang Ninh City, you will attack Jianlu's flank so that it can't take care of each other, and if Jianlu attacks the camp, the king of Quang Ninh will also go out of the city and attack Jianlu's flank."
"Such a two-sided containment makes it difficult for Jianyu to make contributions in a short period of time, just buy time for the soldiers crossing the river!"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, and immediately put this chest forward and said:
"The last general commands!"
"Your Highness, don't worry!"
"Even if I Lao Cheng dies in battle, I won't let Jian Yu take a step over my Lao Cheng's defense area!"
Zhu Hao listened to Cheng Yanjin's words, nodded slightly, and then looked at Dian Wei and said:
"General Dian Wei, you stay in Guangning, coordinate all the departments for this king, and jointly defend Guangning City!"
Hearing this, Dian Wei stepped forward and said:
"The last general commands!"
After Dian Wei's words were finished, he continued to speak:
"Your Highness, there are relatively few soldiers and horses in Guangning City, for the sake of His Highness's safety, His Highness is still, for the time being, it is the best policy to follow General Xu and retreat to Shanhaiguan!"
"Quang Ninh City will be handed over to the last general, come and defend!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the last general assures you that people are in the city!"
After Dian Wei's words were finished, all the generals stepped forward to second, asking Zhu Hao to follow Xu Chu and temporarily retreat to Shanhaiguan.
Seeing this, Zhu Hao looked around at the generals, and then said:
"The kindness of the generals, this king has received it!"
"But this king can't go!"
Dian Wei was not good at words, listening to Zhu Hao's rejection of his proposal, he didn't know what to do, at this time Qin Qiong saw Dian Wei's embarrassment, stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, this ......"
Zhu Hao didn't wait for Qin Qiong's words to continue, then interrupted Qin Qiong's words and said:
"General Qin, you don't need to say much, this king has made up his mind!"
"This king knows, if you don't say a reason today, the generals will not agree, this king's approach!"
Zhu Hao paused as he spoke, and then continued:
"That king, today I will tell the generals why this king is not leaving!"
"There are two reasons why this king can't leave Quang Ninh City!"
"The first is externally, only if this king sits in Guangning City, will he attract the firepower of the captives, so that they will not raid Shanhaiguan and threaten the Central Plains!"
"The second is internal, only if this king and all the soldiers get through the difficulties together, will the soldiers use their lives to defend Guangning City and not fall into the hands of Jianyu!"
"Otherwise, this king will retreat first without a fight, I am afraid that it will be a devastating blow to the morale and morale of the soldiers in the city!"
The generals listened to Zhu Hao's words, and they were all silent, and after a while, Xu Chu stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, since you said that you are in Guangning City, you can guarantee to attract the firepower of the captives, then the last general does not need to go to Shanhaiguan to garrison!"
"Let the last general stay and defend Quang Ninh City with you!"
Zhu Hao listened to Xu Chu's words, shook his head slightly, and then said:
"No, although this king said that he is sure to attract the firepower of the captives, there is no absolute thing in this world!"
"The survival of Shanhaiguan is related to the safety of the Central Plains and the Jingshi, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 possibility, this king can't take that risk!"
"Otherwise, this king will become a sinner for the ages!"
Zhu Hao said and took a deep breath, and then said:
"Generals, there is no need to say much, this king is now talking about the time for the actions of each department!"
"General Xu immediately ordered his troops and immediately went to Shanhaiguan!"
"General Cheng immediately ordered troops and went out of the city to set up defenses!"
"General Qin and General Guan, set off in three days!"
"This battle is related to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, please work together, this king please!"
Zhu Hao said that he bowed to the generals, and when the generals saw this, they hurriedly returned the salute, and then said in unison:
"The last general commands!"
Then Qin Qiong, on behalf of the generals, spoke:
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the last general will live up to His Highness's trust, this battle will destroy Jianlu, and restore my rivers and mountains!"
After Qin Qiong finished saying this, all the generals shouted in unison:
"Destroy the Jianyu, restore my rivers and mountains!"
"Destroy the Jianyu, restore my rivers and mountains!"
“……”
Zhu Hao looked at the fighting spirit of the generals, bowed slightly, and then said:
"Generals, go down and prepare!"
"This king will be in the city of Quang Ninh, prepare a celebration wine in advance, and bring it to the triumphant people, and this king and all the generals will not get drunk and will not return!"
When the generals heard this, they saluted at the same time and hugged their fists:
"The last general will retire!"
Zhu Hao looked at the back of the departing generals, and the agitation in his heart did not stop for a long time.
Zhu Hao knew very well in his heart that the meaning of this battle, if this battle was successful, his desire to save the Ming Dynasty would be regarded as the completion of the first step, and since then, there would be no strong enemies outside the gate.
