Chapter 454: Trimming

Although the ancient war is not as rapid as the modern era, it takes several months or even years from the dispatch of troops to the results of the war, but the truth of the rapid changes on the battlefield is still eternal, once the war starts, the armies of the two sides meet, two or three days is enough time for a lot of things to happen, for example, when the earthworks are built around the capital and Xiao Mu's "genius plan" is implemented, in the north of the capital, Huang Taiji's Houjin army and the Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan, The encounter between Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Man Gui, the general soldier of Datong, was going on fiercely, and the final result had basically been achieved. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, in the past two or three days, Xiao Mu has been constantly receiving military information from the front line, one time the officers and soldiers frustrated the spirit of Jiannu, and the other time it was Jiannu who drove the troops forward, and the officers and soldiers failed to intercept them, all in all, although from the military information transmitted from the front, the two sides seemed to have won and lost each other, but later, even Xiao Mu, who knew nothing about ancient warfare, could see some clues, that is, the Ming army was definitely not the dominant side - after all, if the Ming army had the advantage, Huang Taiji's Houjin army should be farther and farther away from the capital at this moment, but according to the continuous military information, the distance between Huang Taiji's army and the capital seems to be getting closer and closer, and Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui's army also seem to have suffered a lot of losses.

And judging from the military situation these days, it seems that the three main military forces of the Ming Dynasty have not been able to integrate together to fight against Huang Taiji, because they are coming from three different directions, often fighting separately, fighting against Huang Taiji Sect alone, and then failing to win - or in other words, the meaning of defeat in battle.

Finally on the afternoon of the third day, the Ming Dynasty's Jiliao Governor, Xuanfu, and Datong's general army completely failed to intercept Huang Taiji, and the Houjin army led by Huang Taiji finally arrived near the capital, and began to sharpen their knives and plan to try to attack the absolute center of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past three days, Xiao Mu's psychological quality has also been greatly improved and exercised, because the continuous various military situations every day have made Xiao Mu a little dizzy, and often receive a good military situation, Xiao Mu just understood the advantages, and before he had time to be happy, the next unfavorable military situation was sent again, so later, if it was not for the kind of major and decisive military situation, Xiao Mu would not have any emotional changes.

Since Huang Taiji's Houjin army was not intercepted, it was a foregone conclusion that the capital was directly exposed to the Houjin's attack range, and it was obvious that the tentacles of the attack could touch the capital, and it was impossible for Huang Taiji to give up this opportunity, which Xiao Mu and Lin Yi and all the ministers of the court were very clear, so the capital entered a state of martial law from this day.

Of course, before Huang Taiji arrived at the foot of the capital, Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui could only choose to lead the army to the capital before Huang Taiji arrived, and did a good job in the defense of the capital before Huang Taiji arrived.

With the arrival of the three imperial border armies under the capital, Xiao Mu had to face a problem that he had never realized before, and never thought it would be—that is, whether to let Yuan Chonghuan and his army enter the city for repairs.

"It may be a little inappropriate to describe the remnants of the defeated generals", in short, when the main force of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the capital, they sent people to Xiao Mu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to ask for the army to enter the city to rest and recuperate, in preparation for the decisive battle with Jiannu in the future.

According to Xiao Mu's original cognition, he, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has no reason to refuse such a request, the reason is very simple, that is, these troops are here to defend the capital, and defending the capital means protecting him, the emperor, since it is the army that came to defend the country for Xiao Mu, the emperor, naturally there is no reason not to let them rest well, after all, there is a world of difference between sleeping in a roofed house in the city and sleeping in a tent outside the city, and it is obvious that the former is of great help to the recovery of the soldiers' physical strength. And in addition, it is clear that they are not allowed to enter under their own city, which obviously affects the morale of the army.

But it was such a matter that Xiao Mu seemed to be taken for granted and should not have any objections to, but it was opposed by many ministers in the court, and the vast majority of ministers were all against letting Yuan Chonghuan and his army enter the city to rest.

And what makes Xiao Mu puzzled is that although the ministers of the DPRK and China are all against it, and their attitudes are very resolute, when Xiao Mu is the specific reason for their opposition, they can't say one, two, three, but just say something very general, "This matter is very important, and I hope the emperor will think twice", which is equivalent to no specific explanation at all.

Since after all, it is a major military matter, and in the words of the ministers, it is still a "major matter", so unlike Xiao Mu's previous "genius plan" that can be confirmed to have no negative impact, for the repair of Yuan Chonghuan and the others' army Rucheng, even if Xiao Mu is the son of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to forcibly agree to it when many ministers are all opposed.

So Yuan Chonghuan and their army had to enter the city for repairs had to be put on hold for the time being, at least tonight, the soldiers of their army could only stay under the walls of the capital, in tents for one night, as for whether they could live in the barracks in the city tomorrow, it was still an unresolved matter.

With the puzzle of this problem, as well as a series of questions about how to defend the city in the future, as well as the latest situation of martial law in the capital, etc., Xiao Mu once again came to Lin Ye's dormitory - after all, even if the ministers of the court and the central government have experience, it is only the cognitive category of the Ming era, Xiao Mu very much wants to work with Lin Ye to think about the current situation from the perspective of the future of the future, and the countermeasures that can be taken, and this time Xiao Mu wants to discuss with Lin Ye the most, and wants her to help him analyze the problem. Why did all the ministers of the court oppose the question of Yuan Chonghuan and their army entering the city to rest.

"In my opinion, the ministers did not approve of Yuan Chonghuan's army entering the city for repairs, probably because they were suspicious of Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui, especially Yuan Chonghuan." After Lin Yi understood the current situation, he directly said his guess.
