Zhu Gaoxu has risks that are difficult to avoid. The enemy he faced in his first battle was not only the target of the attack, Sichuan Dusi; There are also the Guizhou Metropolitan Division on the flank, and the army of Zhang Fubu of the Annan Kingdom on the back of the abdomen, about 1230,000 people.

Zhang Fujun had all the men, including more than 70,000 guards from the southeastern provinces, 20,000 French soldiers who escaped and were caught, and about 20,000 guards from the vassal kings except for the guards of the Han Dynasty and the Shu Palace.

First of all, the area with the most health centers in the southwestern provinces is Guizhou. At present, there are eighteen guards and two guards for thousands of households; Moreover, some guards have tens of thousands of people, which greatly exceeds the fixed number of one guard. Guyin Guizhou is an important transportation hub connecting Yunnan, and there are many health stations on several post roads.

If Gu Cheng received an order from the Imperial Army, the maximum number of troops he could mobilize was 100,000 (real number). However, Gu Cheng wants to temporarily mobilize and assemble the army, and it is estimated that it will take several months at most.

Once the Guizhou army is formed, it can cut off the Wusada Luzhou Road and isolate the most convenient road between Sichuan and Yunnan; It can also threaten to attack Yunnan from Guizhou.

This huge threat will surface in a few months.

…… Second, the current movements of Zhang Fubu are unknown. Zhang Fu will definitely not surrender to Zhu Gaoxu, will he not move his troops, so that the imperial court is not effective; Or will it simply fall to the court?

If the outcome were the latter, Zhang would have been able to set out from Annam and travel through the mountainous regions of southern Yunnan to the hinterland of Yunnan a few months later. At that time, Yunnan will be attacked by a total of 200,000 troops.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu and Qu Neng took away most of the Han army, Yunnan was empty, and the remaining troops wanted to resist Gu Cheng and Zhang Fu's army, I am afraid it was impossible!

At the beginning of Zhu Gaoxu's army, the first thing he faced was the official and military forces in the southwest region, which were extremely strong.

If Zhu Gaoxu could not quickly resolve the situation in the southwest and time dragged on, the 48 guards of the Beijing battalion and the 22 guards of the emperor's personal guards would be enough for Zhu Gaochu to drink a pot once the deployment was completed......

In the "Battle of Jingyan" that year, the imperial court officials and troops were able to dispatch five or six hundred thousand troops at one time, and it was not without reason.

When Jianwen cut the domain, the uncles were all heavily armed, the king of Xiang was forced to burn his family, and Qi, Dai, and Min were directly cut into commoners. Before King Yan raised his troops, they still didn't dare to move, sat and waited for death, just because there were dozens of guards and horses in the central government of the Ming Dynasty, and there were 2.8 million troops in the country, and no one thought they could win!

In the nearly 40 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, various problems have occurred in the health system, but most of them have not been completely corrupted and barely maintained, and the military strength is extremely strong. If it weren't for King Yan's various coincidences back then, it would have been almost impossible for him to defeat the imperial court through war.

So when Zhu Gaoxu decided to raise the army, at the age of twenty-four, he was even worried about his gray hair.

…… After the unitary time, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the harem. Princess Guo Wei greeted Zhan Yan and a group of palace people.

Zhan Yan called "Father", and then he was close to his mother, not very close to Zhu Gaoxu. There is no way, Zhan Yan has been in this world for three years, Zhu Gaoxu is either a native in Luchuan, or he is attacking the Hu clan in Annan, and he rarely accompanies his son, and his son's strangeness is inevitable.

Zhu Gaoxu became a father for the first time, and he seemed to be very incompetent. But the current situation seems that if Zhu Gaoxu doesn't do his big things well, it is difficult to say whether his son can grow up.

"Zhan Yan, when you grow up, you will understand your father's painstaking efforts." Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the child and said.

Zhan Yan tilted his head and stared at him with immature eyes. When Guo Wei heard this, she took a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.

Zhu Gaoxu heard a distant voice in a trance, which broke through time and space, and sounded in the depths of his memory. The father of the other world said that Lao Tzu doesn't go out to work to save money for you, and when others buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law, you don't complain all day long!

Later, he was found out about gambling and almost broke his leg, and now Zhu Gaoxu has no hatred when he thinks about it, only endless shame and chagrin.

"Alas......" Zhu Gaoxu sighed distractedly, "I always let my relatives down, and no one looks down on me." ”

Guo Wei's voice choked and said: "Lord, Zhan Yan will definitely understand when he grows up, and the first emperor's father and emperor can also see the prince's filial piety in the spirit of the sky." The prince only has to focus on big things. ”

Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses and hurriedly whispered, "I didn't mean that. I don't care too much about what my uncle and uncle think of me. It's just you, and I can't shirk it, after all, if your husband and father can't be relied on, your mother and son will definitely not be able to rely on others. ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said to the person standing at the gate of the palace: "Go and call Yao Ji, Du Qianrui, and Chi Yue Zhenren." ”

The palace maid replied, "Yes." ”

After Guo Wei heard this, she also asked the eunuch Yellow Dog to take Zhan Yan away.

After a short time, three women came to the main hall one after another. Miaojin was still wearing a bun and a Taoist robe, and when she saw Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, she flickered...... It is rumored that Zhu Gaoxu snatched his father's beautiful Taoist priest in the palace, and he is still an aunt in the name of a beautiful Taoist priest! So after Miaojin arrived in Yunnan, the situation was very embarrassing.

As soon as Yao Ji came in, Guo Wei took the initiative to look at her and nodded, and asked Yao Ji to sit beside her. The two of them look very close!

Zhu Gaoxu is really not very clear about the changes in the relationship between the harem women at this time, but he is a little confused...... I remember that when I was in Beijing, Guo Wei and Yao Ji were almost incompatible, and Yao Ji was so angry that she ran away from home for the sake of a parrot and a little yellow cat. Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what was happening to the two now, so that the relationship suddenly turned into enemies.

There is a table above the palace, and there are two large chairs on the left and right, and Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei sit on both sides. The newcomers were invited to sit on the stools next to them. Zhu Gaoxu retired all the slaves and maids and closed the palace gate.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "There are some things that I have to explain to you, but it is about military aircraft, and you must not disclose it after listening to it." ”

They nodded in answer and looked at Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu also looked back on the left and right, Princess Guo Wei was a concubine and gave birth to her eldest son, and her fate was closely related to the Han Palace; Yao Ji's father and brother are all working hard for Zhu Gaoxu, and Du Qianrui's younger brother is also Zhu Gaoxu's spy, and the two have been following him for a long time, so they can be regarded as reliable people.

"After the king raised his army, his men and horses must roughly score four ways. Qu Nengbu, as well as the prince himself, led the men and horses, and marched into Sichuan by taking the Wusada Luzhou Road before and after, which was the main force of the Han army.

In the Western Route Army, Mu Sheng led the army to take the Lingguan Road, marched into Yazhou (Ya'an), and joined the king's army.

The largest number of troops in Lingguandao is the Jianchang Military and Civilian Command Department (Liangshan Autonomous Region). Duan Baoji, the daughter of the former governor of Dali, was married to A Li, the leader of the Tusi of the Changyi tribe, and had two daughters for her, wanting to use the Yi soldiers to attack the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty and avenge her father; The Yi people ultimately failed to fulfill their promise, but Duan Baoji's affection in Jianchang was still there.

At that time, Mu Sheng risked the danger of exterminating the clan to privately Zang Jianwen's father and son in Dali, and such a major event was entrusted to Duan Baoji's forces, which shows that Mu Sheng and Duan Baoji have a deep friendship.

In addition, Mu Fu has a very high prestige among the Tusi near the left of Yunnan, so Mu Sheng led the army to the north via the Lingguan Road, and the resistance encountered along the road should not be strong. Mu Sheng's Western Route Army is a partial division, and the number of troops will not be too many. Its co-attack on Sichuan is not yet the focus, the main thing is to open up the Lingguan Road and put it under the control of the Han Wangjun. ”

Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment and continued: "Sheng Yong's Ping'an Army, Deacon Li of the Governor's Mansion, plus Wang Bin led the rest of the Han Palace's guards, to stay in Kunming City. During the 'Battle of Jingnan', Sheng Yong once garrisoned Shandong, which was impregnable and had always threatened the flank of the Jingnan army. This man was quite skilled in the use of infantry and in defense; In addition, Ping An should cooperate with the surprise soldiers and light cavalry, and the role of the remaining troops should be brought into full play in Yunnan.

If Gu Chengzhi's Guizhou army arrives, Sheng Yong should be able to manage to deal with it, drag Gu Cheng and defend Kunming, and wait for our army to return to the division to attack Gu Cheng.

If Zhang Fujun went north, Sheng Yong's troops would be too few. The families of the Han Palace, the Xiping Marquis Mansion, and the families of the soldiers will immediately evacuate to Dali; Then came to Sichuan along the Zero Pass Road, and Duan Xue hated to stay by Wei'er's side. At that point, the Han Dynasty could only be forced to temporarily abandon Yunnan; Otherwise, if the soldiers and their families all fall into the hands of the puppet emperor's official army, I am afraid that the army's heart will be shaken. ”

When a few women heard this, they didn't speak for a long time, and they didn't necessarily understand all of them. However, he must have understood some important messages, that is, he was going to separate from Zhu Gaoxu and go to Sichuan in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at their delicate and fair faces, and he didn't look like he had suffered at all, and sighed and said, "Wei'er and you may be going to be displaced." I couldn't bear it, but the situation forced me to prepare early. ”

Guo Wei was relieved, shook her head and said, "The prince is facing a strong enemy, so you don't have to worry too much about the internal affairs of the house, the concubine will do her best to protect Zhan Yan and the prince's concubines." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I and Qu Neng's second army will be the main force in this battle, and we will go through a vicious battle." Zhan Yan is only three years old, and I dare not bring women and children, for fear that you will follow me in the battle formation, and it will be more dangerous; And the princess and the prince are with the families of the soldiers, and the soldiers ahead may be more at ease. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said that his face was worried and reluctant, he sighed, and finally didn't say anything more. After all, winning this battle is fundamental, otherwise even if you personally protect your family, once the overall situation collapses, the whole family will have to finish it together!

He suddenly looked at Miaojin, and after looking away, he said quietly: "My father has collapsed, and the pseudo-emperor is not in accordance with the law, I don't need to ask for a decree to canonize the harem, just crown Yao Ji and Du Qianrui as wives before going on the expedition." Chi Yue Zhenren walked with us on the five-foot road, can bear hardships and stand hard work, this time he will join the army, are you willing? ”

Miao Jin raised her head and nodded silently.

After Guo Wei and the others heard this, they quietly glanced at Miaojin with a slight sideways glance. Miao Jin pretended not to notice anything and remained silent.
