Datong, Dingguo Mansion.

Because of the counterattack of the Jiannu army on the Horqin grassland, all plans were disrupted, although Zhao Zongwu, the Duke of Dingguo, quickly adjusted the external deployment in the future, so that this increasingly large force did not deviate.

The reason for the suppression of the Jiannu forces in one fell swoop made it necessary to mobilize as many as 16 legions this time, which involved the mobilization of more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, making this matter not a trivial matter that could be easily dealt with from the beginning.

Since the high-level core of the Jiubian Marshal's Mansion and the Government Council met and discussed, Zhao Zongwu put the sign of the Commander-General's Mansion in the Dingguo Mansion.

As the central core of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, in addition to Zhao Zongwu, there are five people: Chen Qiyu, Fan Tianxiong, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, and Ding Kui.

In order to ensure that the legions under the command of Jiubian were transferred out of the sixteenth division, their overall situation could still ensure absolute stability, which also made Chen Qiyu and them busy.

And while Chen Qiyu and the others were busy with this, Zhao Zongwu had a detailed understanding with Yang Dang, the secretary and supervisor.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the news from the capital, this time our army went out to conquer the Horqin grassland to conquer Jiannu, and the British Duke, Chengguo Duke, and Pingguo Gong did not have the slightest objection to this, on the contrary, they also gathered together to celebrate because our army gave up the conquest of the Liukou in Huguang Land."

Yang Dare looked at the information in his hand and told Zhao Zongwu seriously: "And after the emperor knew the current situation, he had some doubts about it, the emperor said that although this Jiannu arrived in the Horqin region, but after all, it belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was to wait a little longer?" On the contrary, it is the rogue forces entrenched in the vast area of Daming Lake, if they cannot be completely eradicated, I am afraid that a situation will be formed in the future! ”

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "It seems that the development of these years has already made Zhang Weixian and them forget their original intentions, and the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is far less important than their own interests, but the emperor is to let his father underestimate him, and the emperor is also considered to be an adult, and he can be regarded as having his own ideas, since this is the case, the emperor cannot be unclear about the outside world, Zhang Weixian They are too comfortable in the capital, which is not a good thing." ”

For Zhang Weixian's various performances, Zhao Zongwu expressed contempt in his heart, and even did not hesitate to give up the foundation of the people of Li for the sake of his own power.

But if you want Daming to completely lose the hearts of the people, you have to continue to watch them show off their power in the capital.

On the other hand, Zhu Ciran's growth also made Zhao Zongwu understand in his heart that some historical trends are far better than blocking methods, since the young Emperor Chongzhen wants to toss, let him and Zhang Weixian have a good toss in the capital, anyway, he will devote himself to the process of conquering Jiannu.

"Then what should our department do next in the Huguang area?" Yang Dare looked at his grandfather with an inquiring expression.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "This duke has asked the Government Council to support the white pole army that went to Huguang, in the next two years, if you want to completely quell the rebellion in the Huguang area and the Nanzhili region, it is definitely an unrealistic thing, since this is the case, the forces in the shadows can induce those rogues to continue to purge the local gentry forces."

For important areas, they can be controlled by supporting forces, once the cleaning of the region is completed, the secretary and supervisor can cooperate with the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion to effectively control the region, Zhang Weixian and their power, in the eyes of this duke, has declined to the extreme, now they just want to hold the authority of the capital tightly, since this is the case, then let them firmly entrench in the capital, the authority of this place will be gradually withdrawn! ”

For Zhang Weixian and them, as the auxiliary government of the Ming Dynasty, what they are thinking about at the moment is not what the Ming Dynasty is doing, but what is more important in their hearts is their own interests, so that Zhao Zongwu led the army to fight Jiannu, which is a thing worth celebrating for them.

Because in their eyes, this Jiannu force is so strong, even if there are more troops under Zhao Zongwu, if the two collide together, it will inevitably cause a big conflict, and then it will inevitably suffer extremely serious losses, if it can really be like this, it can close the gap between them.

At that time, even if the rest of the Ming Dynasty is affected, they will still have the opportunity to balance Zhao Zongwu, who is dictatorial in the Nine Sides!

Yang dared to say: "It's Grandpa Guo!" ”

For these shady things, Zhao Zongwu communicated a lot with Yang Kang, and there was only one central idea, that is, to use the forward movement of the rogue forces to constantly sweep away the bloodsuckers entrenched in Daming, maybe in this process, some innocent people will die tragically, but in the general trend of history, some situations are inevitable.

Even if Zhao Zongwu didn't do this, then there would be more serious things in the future because of other circumstances.

If that's the case, then Zhao Zongwu hopes that this time it can be completely exposed!

As the saying goes, this long pain is better than short pain.

The other side.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the information from Horqin, although You Shiwei and the others have temporarily stabilized the situation in Horqin this time, they still found something different from it." Chen Qiyu stared at it with a stern expression, and had already sketched a map of the situation of the enemy and us, and said in a sonorous tone: "After all these years of armed conflict, Mang Gurtai, who led the right wing army of Jiannu this time, is very clear about some of our army's operational deployments.

It is also because of such an existence that although You Shiwei's department has temporarily stabilized the situation in Horqin, it is a little unbearable in the face of the fierce and reckless Gurtai who does not care about the life and death of the soldiers under his command! If our army delays for some time, I am afraid that the next situation will be very unfavorable to our army! ”

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Yuxuan, your analysis is good, this is also something that this duke is very worried about these days, in the end, our army is still some distance away from the Horqin region, and besides, our army does not have a deeper understanding of the Jiannu forces far away in Nuer Gandusi, in the end, we don't know what the Nu chief Daishan wants, which makes our army so passive!" ”

Although it is said that Zhao Zongwu sent a faction to do some meticulous work, but for some core strategies, they still failed to find out, everything needs to go through actual inquiry, to know what kind of strategy is hidden behind this, everything can not be in a hurry, as far as the current situation is concerned, urgency will change!!
