The husband is counted as the winner of the temple without a fight, and the temple is counted as a lot without a fight, and the temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered a little. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! - Sun Tzu's Art of War

"Gentlemen, my army went to Liaodong to build a city this time, and I have three ideas. First, our army can fight with Jiannu at its discretion, kill Jiannu, and take his head. Otherwise, our army will be bent on defending the city, and will not be able to obtain the head of Jiannu and obtain military merits. ”

Fight with the Kennu Formation!?

When the generals of Jingbian Fort heard this, they all looked at each other and were quite stunned.

"Fight with the Kennu Array!? Dare to ask the general, there are many Jiannu soldiers, and if they fight with our army, they will inevitably rely on a large number of people to besiege us, and we will definitely die. Li Jiye was extremely surprised.

"Yes! Checkmate. The rest of the generals also nodded again and again, agreeing with Li Jiye's words.

"Hehe, Jiye is reasonable, and I agree. It's just that you guys listen to me, think that the female true and false gold, since the old slave uprising, invincible in the field, will be very contemptuous of our army, I will write a letter of war to the general of the Jiannu army, invite them to the same force to fight with our army, I think they will inevitably fight, then our army can take the opportunity to kill Jiannu, take its head. Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Jiannu has always been cunning, do you know if they will fight?" Yang Desheng wondered.

"If there are thieves all the way who want to fight with us in the same number of battles, Desheng, what will you do?" Liu Renyu asked.

"Hey, just a thief, dare to send the same force to fight with our army, joke, I will naturally engage in battle, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, so that they know the consequences of underestimating our army." Yang Desheng said contemptuously.

"Yes, I wrote a war letter with the general of the Jiannu army, and I think that the general of the Jiannu army will inevitably think like this, 'The Ming army should also fight with our army, and I will kill them without leaving a piece of armor, so that they know the power of my Dajin warriors', Desheng, do you say yes or no?" Liu Renyu asked with a smile.

"It's ........" Yang Desheng heard this, and knew that what Liu Renyu said was indeed the truth, Jiannu's combat power was far better than the ordinary Ming army, correspondingly, those Jiannu would inevitably despise their Jingbian Fort Army, but he felt in his heart that the Jingbian Fort Army was not necessarily worse than Jiannu, so he was a little uncomfortable, so he said like this: "Our Jingbian Fort Army is different from the ordinary Ming Army, how can Jiannu be defeated casually." ”

"Hehe," Liu Renyu saw that Yang Desheng was still stubborn, but he didn't want to say anything, he said lightly: "What Desheng said is, but Jiannu doesn't know that we are powerful, and maybe he will send troops to fight us when the time comes, do you say yes or no?" ”

"That's what the general said." Yang Desheng thought for a while and felt that what Liu Renyu said was very reasonable, so he nodded.

The rest of the generals also felt that what Liu Renyu said made sense, and they all nodded their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with Liu Renyu's words.

Liu Renyu looked around and found that his generals agreed with his words, so he continued: "There is only one chance for our army to fight with Jiannu with the same strength, and after one battle, there will never be a chance again.

In view of the fact that Jiannu has a cannon in his hand, he must build a reinforced concrete city wall to resist, so we must now ship cement and steel bars to Liaodong, prepare in advance, and when it is time to build the city, we only need to dig the foundation, bundle the steel bars, and immediately pour concrete, then the city can be built within 15 days. With a strong wall to protect it, we have a better chance of defending the city.

Of course, it is not enough to have a strong city wall and strong soldiers, from now on, we will ship grain to Liaodong, I will do this matter myself, you gentlemen and relieved. I can guarantee that when you go to Liaodong to build a city, there will be 100,000 stone of grain in the city. ”

"In this case, our army will be invincible." Li Jiye was overjoyed.

"Yes, but if we lead the troops into battle, we still need to think about victory and defeat first, if our army is besieged for a long time, we must always think of a way to retreat. I mean, Jiye, when we build a city in Liaodong, you will have to dig tunnels with your men so that we can retreat if we can't hold on. ”

"General, digging tunnels is not a difficult task, but if Jiannu wants to besiege us, he must use the method of locking the city, digging deep trenches, ambushing on all sides, cutting off our army's retreat to Jinzhou, Ningyuan's retreat, we dig tunnels in vain. As soon as we appear on the road from the Daling River to Jinzhou, we will be discovered by the Jiannu Scouts, and then fall into a heavy siege, and finally all die. Li Jiye frowned.

"Yes, General, even if we can get out of the tunnel, we will be discovered by Jiannu and surrounded, I don't know what is the use of digging this tunnel?" Yang Desheng also asked repeatedly.

"Hehe, gentlemen, don't panic, according to common sense, the exit of the tunnel should be in the west, so that when we return to the Ming Dynasty, we will have less way to run, right?" Liu Renyu asked with a smile.

"Naturally, yes." The generals nodded.

"Yes, according to common sense, but I want to dig this tunnel to the east, and the tunnel entrance is to the east." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"To the east!? General, the east side is Jiannu's lair, let's go from the east, then we have entered the wolf's den. The generals were amazed.

"However, gentlemen, since you all think that we are going east to kill ourselves, Jiannu will naturally think so, so they will inevitably focus on the west, north and south, but will not focus on the east, do you think so?"

"The general has a point." The generals nodded again and again.

"So let's attack from the east, straight into the hinterland of Jiannu, Jiannu must be caught off guard, let's rush all the way to kill, we can go to North Korea, and then enter Phi Island, and then take a boat back to Daming, what do you think of my plan to retreat?" Liu Renyu asked with a slight smug look on his face.

Go North Korea!?

When the generals heard this strategy, they were all stunned and stunned for a while.

"Gentlemen, please see," Liu Renyu said this plan, and then pointed to the map of Liaodong with a putter and showed the generals the route of the march in detail.

Under Liu Renyu's guidance, the generals only nodded their heads one after another.

"The general's plan is wonderful, Wenshan is obedient." Ma Wenshan first praised him, and then he asked out loud: "Dare to ask the general, our army can't carry baggage when it goes out of the city through the tunnel, how to solve the grain and straw needed on the way to retreat?" ”。

"That's a good question! Gentlemen, in October of the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu didn't bring much grain, how did they solve the food problem? Liu Renyu asked rhetorically.

"Needless to say, those Jiannu burned, killed, and plundered, doing all kinds of evil, and relied on looting to eat in my Ming Dynasty." The generals said indignantly.

"That's right, let's cross the border from Jiannu's nest, all the Jurchens in the villages and towns along the road, regardless of men, women, old and young, all killed, not a single one is left, and their grain, horses, and mules are all taken with them." Liu Renyu sneered.

"General, this plan is very good, but we only have a map of Liaodong drawn by the Ministry Division before the Jiannu Incident, which is very old, and I don't know if it is still useless? When we arrive in Liaodong, how can we identify the road to North Korea? Ma Wenshan asked again.

"This matter is not difficult, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the slave chief Huang Taiji once sent Amin to lead troops to conquer Korea, and in addition to the Jurchen soldiers, there are still many Aha in their array. These Ahado are Han Chinese and Koreans, they are oppressed by Jiannu, we arrived at Jiannu's lair, we rescued them, let them lead the way for us, what do you think? Liu Renyu asked.

"Dare to ask the general, when we arrive in North Korea, where will the fleet come from to meet us?" Li Jiye asked.

"When the time comes, I will go to Miss Du and ask him to help us plan this matter, his family has been in business for generations, and he always has some connections, I will ask him to find a useful fleet to meet us. What's the matter, gentlemen, after listening to my strategy of fighting and defending, and the strategy of retreating with all my body, can you have confidence in going to Liaodong to build a city this time? Liu Renyu asked his subordinates.

"The general is considered to be exhaustive, the lowly rank is obedient, the general's plan is so detailed, our army is already invincible, and the lowly rank is willing to follow the general to Liaodong to build a city and fight." A group of generals and officers repeatedly appealed for war.

"Okay, you have a fighting spirit, I am very relieved, but this time we sent troops to Liaodong, if we want to hold the lonely city, we still need to have a strong army in our hands, gentlemen, then I will talk about the expansion of the army."

When these generals heard the word "expanding the army" coldly, all of them were in high spirits, and their eyes lit up, and they opened their ears to listen carefully to how Liu Renyu expanded his troops.
