Zhu Yunwen's analysis of the situation shocked everyone, and they were surprised not only by Zhu Yunwen's insight, but also by Zhu Yunwen's frankness. Zhu Yunwen has no scruples to expose the royal dispute in front of everyone, in fact, there is also a purpose, to win the support of everyone, the so-called soldier for the confidant to die, only by being honest with each other, can win the support of more people.

Zhu Yunwen took everyone's looks into his eyes, and then said: "After talking about the situation, let's talk about the places that need to be paid attention to, mainly the command ability and psychological quality of our army and the rebel army. ”

"First, the leaders of the rebels are Yan Yi, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and others, and their commanding ability is more than the existing generals in the imperial court, including me, of course, I do not shy away from this, and I also hope that the generals of the imperial court can sober their minds and not underestimate the enemy!"

While speaking, Zhu Yunwen carefully observed everyone's faces and found that in addition to Xu Huizu's calm appearance, Chang Sheng, Li Jinglong, and even He Fu and Gu CD were a little unconvinced.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "It seems that everyone is a little unconvinced, but Feng Sheng and Wang Bi should not have much controversy, so let's talk about King Yan." ”

"King Yan is the fourth son of Emperor Taizu, his mother is Concubine Qi, and King Zhou is the same brother. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, he was in Beiping, and the princess was the eldest daughter of the king of Zhongshan. King Yan has repeatedly gone out of the fortress, reaching as far as the upper reaches of the Krulun River and the Guanhe River, and it can be said that in addition to the veterans, the farthest generals who have gone to Mongolia, their commanding ability, courage and courage should not be underestimated. ”

"Beiping is the capital of the old Yuan, Xu Da broke through Beiping in the first year of Hongwu, and then moved the people north of Jundu Mountain and west of Taihang Mountain to Beiping to reclaim and serve in the army, so until Xu Da passed away, he has always won the hearts of the military and people of Beiping, and King Yan, as Xu Da's son-in-law, also inherited this."

"King Yan has indeed done a good job, he is known as the Virtuous King, he is neither greedy nor domineering, compared with other vassal kings, he is indeed worthy of the title of the Virtuous King."

"Generally speaking, King Yan is good at appeasing the army and the people, winning the hearts of the army, knowing people and being good at their duties, good at using soldiers, especially cavalry, and fighting bravely, and likes to charge into battle, so in my opinion, the danger of King Yan is far greater than that of King Zhou, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and others, Feng Sheng and Wang Bi's talents may be able to pass, but they are not royalty, so they can only rely on King Zhou, but King Zhou's talent is too far from King Yan."

When Zhu Yunwen said this, he paused, looked at everyone's faces, and said with a smile: "Don't be so frustrated, King Yan is indeed difficult to deal with, but his weaknesses are also obvious, I will talk about it later." ”

As a rebel, we are actually in fear that there is no tomorrow today, and in fear, people will have two reactions, one is to be defeated, and in terms of the army, it is like a mountain of defeat; One is to fight hard and fight your way out. So fighting the rebels, the other side is likely to be fearless to death. Our army is for war merits, and the other side is for survival, so in terms of the will to fight, the rebels are stronger than our army. ”

"Third, in terms of personnel composition, most of the rebels are military households from the border areas and Mongol surrenderers, and they are very strong in combat, because they have nothing to lose, so they will work hard to climb up. Most of our troops came from the south, and their lives were rich, and since the first year of Hongwu, there was no war in the south of the Yangtze River, and at most they fought against the Japanese at sea and the barbarian tribes in the mountains. Therefore, whether it is the quality of soldiers or combat effectiveness, our army is inferior. ”

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "Do you have different opinions?" ”

Qi Tai arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor's view of the army is a bit one-sided, the rebels are only in Beiping, but the imperial court has the remaining twelve political envoys, Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Shanxi Imperial Division, Shaanxi Imperial Division and Suiyuan all have elite soldiers, which are not inferior to the army of Beiping." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's true, I'm a little one-sided, I take it back, what else?" ”

Everyone looked at it and said, "The emperor is shengming!" ”

Zhu Yunwen continued: "In April, I ordered Chen Zhen to lead 20,000 troops to guard Juyong Pass, and after the Daning rebellion, I ordered Geng Xuan to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan. If Juyong Pass can be held, then King Yan will inevitably be like a thorn in his back and dare not go south; If Shanhaiguan is still in Geng Xuan's hands, then the Liaodong soldiers can attack Yongping and then attack Beiping. ”

"But if Juyong Pass is lost, then the Yan army has no worries, and I am afraid that the situation will get worse; If Shanhaiguan was occupied by the Yan army, the Liaodong army would be isolated from the pass and would not be able to threaten Beiping. ”

"Therefore, these two places cannot be lost, I will strictly order Geng Xuan to guard the Shanhai Pass, and I will also send Chen Xuan to reinforce Juyong Pass, and block the Yan army from both sides, plus Guo Yue in Zhigu, then the Yan army will inevitably be encircled and eliminated in this small area, here, Beiping." Zhu Yunwen said as he gently tapped Beiping on the map with his baton.

"However, this is all on paper," Zhu Yunwen sighed and said to everyone: "The battlefield is ever-changing, ever-changing, and in the end, it must be solved by the bloody battles of the soldiers." ”

"What do you think about the subordinates on the front line?"

Everyone has no opinion on coach Geng Bingwen, of course, because Emperor Zhu Yunwen's tendencies are obvious, even if he has an opinion, he has to keep it.

Based on everyone's opinions, Zhu Yunwen appointed Geng Bingwen as the general of Pingyan, and He Fu and Gu Cheng accompanied him as deputy generals, and transferred a total of 200,000 Weisho troops from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong to gather in Zhending, and after gaining a firm foothold, they went north to seek Yan. Shandong Metropolitan Division Sheng Yong's army of 50,000 troops garrisoned Cangzhou, echoing Guo Yue in Zhigu.

Ordered the left servant of the Ministry of Officials to be the chief of the army, in charge of military discipline, if there is any disobedience, immediately beheaded.

Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shaanxi, was transferred to Shandong to supervise the transportation of grain and grass for the army.

The Zongren Mansion cut off Zhu Di's clan registration and abolished him as a concubine. Those who have the head of King Yan will be rewarded, those who have no lords will be crowned marquis, those who have lords will be crowned dukes, and those who are already dukes will be crowned with a son.

Ordered the Investigation Division to collect information on the enemy's forces and cause sabotage in the enemy's rear, such as burning their rations, assassinating their dignitaries, and so on.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen personally wrote a letter to Geng Bingwen, telling him to march cautiously, not to rash the enemy, and to prevent the Yan cavalry from raiding. In addition, in the decisive battle, it is necessary to seize the upper hand and try to occupy the west, northwest, and north formations to prevent sandstorms.

When it was almost time to be discussed, Zhu Yunwen suddenly put forward an idea: "Zhongqing, I want to be stationed in Jinan, so that I can understand the situation ahead in time and adjust the deployment in time, how about it?" ”

"Your Majesty, no!"

......

At this time, Zhang Yu had already conquered and subdued Tongzhou, Jizhou, Miyun, Zunhua, and Yongping. But Shanhai Weitian Zengyu can only look at Guan Xing sighing, there is a big flag standing on the Shanhai Pass, the cold wind in the north blows, the big flag hunts and hunts, and the flag is embroidered with a big character -------Geng".

A few days later, Chen Zhen, who had been guarding Juyong Pass for ten days, looked at the endless stream of Yan soldiers under the city who were not afraid of death, Chen Zhen felt a lot of pressure, although the benefits of the city and the number of people were about the same as the other party, he was almost unable to support it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at the northwest, why didn't Chen Xuan come yet?

At this moment, an army appeared in the northwest, and this army was extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, it arrived at the north pass of Juyong Pass, and made a request for switching.
