Gou Zi and Tang Ding looked at the cart in front of them and shook their heads vigorously and refused, "Our Shenji Battalion is not afraid of long-distance marches, so let's go with the foot soldiers." ”

"That's it! It is! We can't let others say that our Shenji Battalion is a young master soldier, and our Shenji Battalion can climb mountains and wade on two legs. ”

It's really hell, Ma Du is very puzzled by what these two people think, isn't it more comfortable to ride in a car than to walk?

In the Dayuan Palace, Ma Du found the craftsman who had helped Emperor Zhizheng make Wuyun Che before, and before the expedition to Shanxi, Ma Du handed him over to the chief steward of the Shen family, and asked them to make a hundred large board cars according to the technology of Wuyun Car.

This is considered to be designed by Ma Du himself, the two-wheeled carriage is too heavy for the horses to eat and the bearing capacity is small, and the four-wheeled carriage is too large and inflexible, and it is not suitable for the rugged road in ancient times.

This kind of big board car, in fact, is to connect the body of the two five-cloud carriages with hinges, both the load of the four-wheeled carriage and the flexibility of the two-wheeled carriage, five horses can pull dozens of men on the grassland for a fast long-distance march, plus the "independent suspension" of the five-cloud carriage is much more comfortable than the ordinary carriage.

Although it can't be compared with the speed of the cavalry, it is much faster than the two-legged dry upside down. This is made by Ma Du out of his own pocket, which is considered private property, and Chang Yuchun is very knowledgeable about the goods and tries it unceremoniously to be requisitioned.

Ma Du didn't have any opinions, in fact, this was originally his preparation for the attack on Shangdu. Requisitioning can only be used by the people of the Shenji Battalion, and he has already begun to imagine the scene of taking the 3,000 Shenji Battalion through the vast grassland to raid Shangdu. I don't know if there will be a story in the Mongolian history books in the future, "Brother Ma" bribing the gatekeeper of Shangdu with a hundred carts of treasure.

Tang Ding and Gouzi are very ignorant, they want to save face and suffer from it, Ma Du gave them a kick alone, "I really think that Lao Tzu feels sorry for you, and I'm not afraid that you will run out of physical strength and won't be able to complete the task by then." ”

He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Can you run on four legs on two feet?" The first merit of attacking Shangdu will not be snatched away by the cavalry at that time! Hearing Ma Du say this, the two greedy guys took their men to the car.

In May of the first year of Hongwu, Chang Yuchun led an army of 90,000 to leave Beiping and entered the vast grassland from Songting Pass near Xifengkou. After camping that day, Chang Yuchun, who had always been dictatorial, finally raised his account and began to discuss military affairs.

It is said that it is to discuss military affairs, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that military deployment, and its content is also very "often spring". It was decided to personally lead 10,000 cavalry out to pack up the troops that had also left near Jinchuan, and let Li Wenzhong lead the Chinese army to follow behind.

Chang Yuchun's subordinates are very familiar with his style and have no objections, but Li Wenzhong smiled bitterly: "Dashuai, you haven't given a bottom to your subordinates about what you are thinking about in your heart." You didn't send troops from Juyong Pass, it seems that you don't plan to take the capital directly? ”

There is a post road in Juyong Pass that can lead directly to Shangdu, and Chang Yuchun did not go to Juyong Pass, that is, he did not plan to attack Shangdu directly. Hearing Li Wenzhong's question, Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "Si Benzhen can laugh, and he can quickly sit in Quanning and Daning to copy our back road, although he belongs to a rabbit, but he is not sure how to be steady." If he doesn't get rid of it, how can he attack Shangdu with peace of mind. ”

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be what Chang Yuchun said, when the old Zhu asked the generals about the strategy during the Northern Expedition, Chang Yuchun's strategy was to take the capital directly, and this strategy sounded very capricious. Now that it was his turn to be the manager, he immediately became cautious, obviously under a lot of pressure.

"Does Siben have a plan?"

Li Wenzhong arched his hand and replied: "My subordinates do have a strategy for the commander's reference!" ”

"Oh, then let's hear it." Chang Yuchun waved his hand to the other generals, "Let's go back to patrol the camp first, Ma Du and Lan Yu stay." It's not that he doesn't trust his subordinates, but he's really worried that people will talk too much and show their mouths.

Seeing that all the generals were gone, Li Wenzhong said: "The marshal can lead the cavalry to feint Quanning through Jinchuan and Luerling, and I will lead the Chinese army through Daning, and the Yuan soldiers in the place will ignore it." Daning's troops will inevitably be negligent in their precautions, and at that time, I will lead the Chinese army to capture Daning, not only pulling out a nest but also deterring Naha in Liaodong. ”

Nahachu is not very famous in history, but he has a very famous ancestor, that is, Mu Huali, one of the four masters of Temujin's subordinates. When Lao Zhu was a small warlord who crossed the river to attack Taiping, Hanachu was the ten thousand households guarding Taiping Road.

After Lao Zhu captured Hanaout, he heard that he was a descendant of Mu Huali and wanted to recruit him, but Nahachu did not disgrace his ancestors, and would rather die than surrender. Lao Zhu was reluctant to kill him, and gave him gold and silver to allow him to return north to the Yuan court. Now that the old Zhu Dengji is the emperor, Nahachu is no longer a small Wanhu, but a Yuan court captain who has 200,000 mercenaries in Liaodong.

The biggest risk of Chang Yuchun's attack on Shangdu is the 200,000 soldiers and horses sent out by Naha, of course Lao Zhu also knew this, and when he gave the order to Chang Yuchun, he also sent a letter to Naha, coercing Entu to keep Naha neutral.

But people's hearts are the most unpredictable, who knows if Naha still remembers Lao Zhu's grace of life many years ago, if he suddenly makes a move, he will inevitably suffer a big loss, so Li Wenzhong said that he would deter him.

Chang Yuchun laughed when he heard this, "The hero sees the same thing, Si Ben really thought of it with me, this Naha is to deter, this person doesn't know how to lift, the emperor should have killed him in peacetime...... But I thought that Ran Quan Ning might as well be false and true, and if I didn't give a quick and solid lesson, I was really worried that his rabbit would bite people! ”

Ma Du said: "The art of war is true and false, and the magic of its use is in one mind, and his subordinates admire it!" But I couldn't help but slander in my heart, "I don't understand what these two people are talking about, I don't understand what they're talking about, aren't they talking about it, where did this Naha pop up, and it has a relationship with Lao Zhu." ”

Lan Yu added: "If our army occupies Daning, Nahachu must think that our army will definitely shrink its forces when it points to Liaodong, and the threat from the flank can be solved. The Tartar Emperor will also think that we will fight Liaodong, so as to settle in Shangdu, our army only needs to send light cavalry to break through, and it will be able to reach the upper capital in a few days. ”

Madu looked at the three of them and pointed to their noses, "What about me?" ”
