"Guarding in the border city is certainly able to block the army, but our border is long, there are always weak places, it is not good to defend separately, even if we all defend, the Mongols can also find some small towns to fight the grass valley, slaughter and plunder my Ming people, the damage is still my Ming people, it is not a secret, in the next is because the Mongolian Tartars killed their father, so they fled to the capital, and they coincidentally entered the Zhongzheng line." Lu Yunzhi said,

Zhen Lingdan nodded, and motioned to Lu Yunzhi to let him continue, Lu Yunzhi said: "The danger of holding the city is that it is difficult to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from besieging the city, once the siege defenders go out of the city to face the cavalry, it is a death, and the reinforcements come to face the cavalry. As long as there is a breakthrough in the northern Xinjiang, it will be like a thousand miles of embankment destroyed in the anthill, after the break of this pass, the world has nothing to defend, once they set foot in the pass, the soldierless and rich Central Plains will not become a paradise for the Mongolian cavalry, but also become the center of their supply, we will lead the troops back to rescue when the time comes, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

Zhen Lingdan said: "So you want to lead the soldiers out of the customs to fight the Mongols, so that the bottom line of the guards, our border pass is pushed outward for hundreds of miles, even if there is a problem, Daming can have enough time to re-recruit troops, after all, there are few Mongols, even if we use our lives, we will consume them to death." ”

Lu Yunzhi nodded and said: "That's right, but I don't want to consume, we must win, grow my Chinese man's ambition, step through Helan Mountain, eat its flesh and sleep its skin, so that this group of Tartars dare not attack, the Mongols do not remember to eat, since ancient times and pro-tributary rewards are useless, only if they are changed, they can remember that if this battle is won, it will be able to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty for ten years and fifty years for the long." ”

"Well said, good ambition, Young Master Lu, the old man is willing to help you with your words and this act for the country and the people, even if we have hatred between you and me, but when facing foreign enemies, we are all descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no doubt about the outside world." The old man Zhen Lingdan chatted about the madness of youth, and shouted with a high-five,

Lu Yunzhi turned his head sideways and said to Yingzi: "Madam, bring the territory map and the northern Xinjiang defense map." Yingzi promised to bring two maps soon, Lu Yunzhi put the maps on the ground and spread them out, ordered people to hold dozens of lights, and squatted in the courtyard with Zhen Lingdan to explain,

"The Mongols have used the power of ghosts and witches this time, and we have also excluded many heaven, earth and people from each branch of the station, and then I will send a strong army to fight with the army, although the number of people is not too big to do after all, but it inspires their morale to destroy the confidence of the other party, if you are lucky, there are masters who can also capture the opponent's commander, shoot people first and capture horses and thieves first capture the king is this reason." Lu Yunzhi pointed out to Zhen Lingdan the six routes for the Mongolian army to go out, Zhen Lingdan was a little embarrassed when he heard what thief captured the king first, wasn't he also captured by Long Qingquan, a master on Lu Yunzhi's side, but this method is really easy to use,

Lu Yunzhi didn't care and said: "Let's leave a small number of troops to defend the frontier, the young and strong of the Ming Dynasty should also be called to defend the border, increase the reliability of the second line of defense, although we have the confidence to win, but we can't be careless, everything should be planned for the worst result, if we meet the same number of people encounter the Mongolian cavalry, we must not have an advantage, so we must ensure the number, so I divided all the armies on the expedition into three routes, the first left side of the road from Shaanxi, led by you, to block the two enemy armies from the west, they have to come in order, not coordinated operations, the first team is exhausted and then the opponent is on, so you rely on the advantage of the forces in your hands to break them one by one, and then occupy the Hetao area, and then go straight to the Duobuke, if you can, you can even hit Hami, the Turks are now following the Mongols to do things, slaughtering our Ming people, more ruthless than the Mongols, this time you will let them taste powerful, I believe you can do it. ”

"Which troops do I bring, and what are the number of enemy troops." Zhen Lingdan said, Lu Yunzhi replied: "Tomorrow, I have to bother you to make a hard trip, take my letter back to the two lakes, lead your original team to the Western Regions, and I will send you another 20,000 elite soldiers, after all, the temperature difference between the desert and the Western Regions is very large, and the children of the two lakes are afraid that they can't stand this kind of weather, so they have to adapt slowly." ”

Zhen Lingdan frowned and asked: "There are still many soldiers and horses in the two lakes who are loyal to me, so you are not afraid that I will lead the troops away and go against you again, or simply take refuge in the Mongols and worship the general Fenghou as their great official." ”

Lu Yunzhi smiled: "If you are like this, you will not be called Zhen Lingdan, although the Zhen Lingdan I know has always belonged to the same camp as me, but he is a good man who stands up to the sky, I am willing to vouch for you with my head." ”

Zhen Lingdan sighed, the veteran's hand trembled a little, and he suddenly hugged his fist and knelt on one knee, Lu Yunzhi reached out to support but couldn't stand Zhen Lingdan's whole body strength: "Today I also call you a lord, the soldier is a confidant to die, even if this is my last battle Zhen Lingdan, it is worth it, it is better than our own people fighting around to increase casualties, but say in advance, if I Zhen Lingdan does not die, I may not be loyal to you, the day of the defeat of the Mongolian barbarians, that is, when you and I parted ways, Yu Qian is more kind to me than you, Forgive Zhen for not knowing what to do. ”

Lu Yunzhi's royal qi and palm held up Zhen Lingdan and said, "Okay, your words are enough, we will fight back the Tartars for another hundred rounds." ”

The two looked at each other, for a while, they were full of feelings, and after a moment of silence, Lu Yunzhi pointed to the border map and said: "I said that there are not enough people who need your help, there are countless people who can fight for good battles, but there are only a handful of people who can really lead thousands of troops with a weak enemy, Mr. Zhen happens to be one, you lead the left army to the west, and the east is led by Bai Yong, and now Goryeo also sees the wind and the rudder of the Ying and Mongolian army, I want Bai Yong to lead the troops to level Goryeo first, along the border of Warat, and then attack the Tatar hinterland, Let's go straight to the Yellow Dragon, their nest is attacked, and they must withdraw to support the troops of Warat, so the Tatar reinforcements on the east road will definitely be trapped in the back and forth attack, I think they will definitely not have any good fruit to eat when they meet Bai Yong, and the Yili and Turks on the west road and a group of Semu people will not be able to take advantage of you to contain them. ”
