The march of the front army was unusually smooth, and it did not encounter the attack of the Ming army, and when the front army arrived at Chenzhuang, which was more than 20 miles away from Ju County, Habichi's confidence had already begun to skyrocket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chenzhuang is the place where the emperor determined the large army to camp and camp, after arriving here, the front army can not continue to advance, must wait for the arrival of the Chinese army, after the front army and the Chinese army will reconcile, according to the emperor's will, and then carry out the next stage of the offensive, as the Mongolian prince, Ha Bichi understands this, although he wants to lead the front army to continue to advance, and even arrive in Juxian to fight with the Ming army, but he will never dare to go against the emperor's will, after all, this battle is very important.

Habichi's report, as well as the quiet of a few days of marching, made Kublai Khan also very strange, why the Ming army did not move, and even could not see the shadow, the intelligence of the scout reconnaissance, almost every half an hour, the report of several days in a row showed that the Ming army was still stationed outside the city of Juxian, and did not move, and did not see any large-scale transfers, but the Ming army's military camp was more stable, and the fence was built very high and strong, even if it was a Mongolian iron horse, it could not be broken through in a short time.

For a while, Kublai Khan fell into deep thought, and he needed to make a judgment on why the Ming army would watch the warplanes pass away, and why the Ming army was unwilling to make a large-scale sortie to start a decisive battle with the Mongolian army.

There are three possibilities, the first possibility is that the Ming army is afraid, in the face of nearly 400,000 troops, there is not enough confidence to win, so they chose to hold on, the second possibility is that the Ming army does not have the absolute ability to win, so it is easy not to send troops, you must know that the army is the final decisive battle between the two armies, and it is better to be cautious if the victory cannot be ensured, and the third possibility is that the Ming army has other ways to deal with it, which is better than fighting face-to-face with the Mongolian army, so it will not think about exterminating the front army of the Mongolian army for the time being.

The first thing Kublai Khan ruled out was the third possibility, in his opinion, the confrontation between the two armies, to such a direct extent, there is no other way to deal with it, only the soldiers on both sides fight to the death, who is strong, who can get the final victory, and the rest of the many strategies, do not need to think too much.

The first and second possibilities, Kublai Khan's rational thoughts were biased towards the second, he believed that the Ming army could not be afraid, but what he talked about was the first possibility, which could boost the morale of many soldiers.

After the former army and the Chinese army met in Chenzhuang, the arrangements for the next operational deployment began soon.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Kublai Khan had a rare smile on his face, which was used to boost the morale of everyone.

Morale is extremely crucial, today's Mongolian sergeants, morale is high, are looking forward to a large-scale attack on the Ming army, of course, Kublai Khan will not immediately launch an attack on Juxian, after all, the Ming army stationed in Juxian is also very strong, besides, because the situation has changed somewhat, detailed combat deployment, also needs to be appropriately adjusted.

Prince Hedan and Wuliang Hetai's expressions were a little calm, and Habichi's face was full of excitement.

Kublai Khan's expression was of course calm, and there would be no emotional fluctuations, which was the majesty of a king.

"Brother Habichi, tell me how the march of the front army is."

"Report to the emperor, the march of the front army was unusually smooth, there was no Ming army along the way, scouts scouted, the Ming army was still nested around the county seat of Juxian, guarding the barracks, without the slightest movement."

"Well, in your opinion, why did the Ming army have such a situation."

Ha Bichi looked at Hedan, Wuliang Hetai and the others, and spoke confidently.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Ming army is scared, and does not dare to come out to fight, the emperor led an army of 400,000 to go on the expedition, and the Ming army has never encountered such a strong situation, so it is naturally a little afraid. . . ."

Hedan raised his head and looked at Habichi casually, but Wuliang Hetai's face was still calm and did not say anything.

After Habichi finished speaking, Kublai Khan looked at Habichi and smiled again.

"Brother Habichi, what you said is right, the Ming army is indeed a little afraid, there is such a good opportunity, but it has not been able to grasp it, I can't understand it, if the Ming army has enough confidence, it will definitely launch a large-scale attack, but unfortunately, that Wu Shaogang wasted all my hard work."

Hearing the emperor say this, Hedan raised his head and was about to speak, but he looked at the still calm Wuliang Hetai and lowered his head again.

Of course, this action of Hedan could not be concealed from Kublai Khan.

"Brother Hedan, do you have anything to say, just say it, don't have any worries."

Hedan let out a long breath and still spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the Habichi brothers said, I am afraid that there is something wrong, the minister once clashed with the Ming army, their strength is beyond the imagination of the minister, the minister does not think that the Ming army is invincible in the world, from the level of combat and killing ability, the Ming army will never be stronger than the Mongolian iron cavalry, face-to-face fighting, the minister dares to guarantee that the Mongolian iron cavalry must have an advantage, but the Ming army fights, there is one thing worth noting, that is, desperate resistance."

Kublai Khan looked at Hedan and nodded slightly, which made Hedan even more confident.

"The minister has also had a confrontation with the Song army before, the Song army's ten percent of the troops, if the loss is more than one percent, there will be a rout, but the Ming army is different, the minister said bravely, even if it loses more than fifty percent of the troops, the remaining Ming army will still resist desperately and will not give up, which requires special attention. . . ."

Hedan's words made Habichi a little dissatisfied.

"Brother Hedan, I don't think it's so mysterious, those sergeants of the Ming army are also people, I also know that many sergeants of the Ming army, that is, the sergeants of the newly attached army in the past, it is possible that these sergeants have become extremely brave when they reach the Ming army, I think this is just Wu Shaogang deliberately blowing it out...

In the past, Prince Habichi, who was ranked after Hedan, would never refute it like this, even if there were any different opinions, they were communicated in private, but this time Habichi said it directly, and the words behind it were very unpleasant, you must know that Hedan had personally fought with the Ming army, according to Habichi's meaning, that is, Hedan was not brave enough, and he was a little afraid of the Ming army.

Hedan's face changed instantly, and the most important thing for the Mongols was face.

Seeing that Hedan's face changed, Kublai Khan spoke.

"I think what Brother Habichi said also has a certain amount of truth, not to show that the army is invincible, but the new annex army is a little too afraid of the Ming army, I think you should calm down, don't think that the Ming army is anything great, as long as you have this kind of mentality, it will not be difficult for us to defeat the Ming army."

Hedan's face was even more pale, he didn't understand why the emperor said this, you must know that the bravery of the Ming army, even among the Mongolian iron cavalry, is also widely spread, the battle of Luoyang that year, the Mongolian iron cavalry suffered heavy losses, even the most elite heavy cavalry, have been lost, and the emperor values Boyan and Ah Shu the most, both died under the command of the Ming army.

The anger in his heart is difficult to calm down in a short time, but Hedan, who has palpitations, still held back, he is unwilling to quarrel with Ha Bichi in front of the emperor, this is not necessary, I am afraid that Ha Bichi will really understand the power of the Ming army at that time, and he will not speak like this.

Hedan is not only angry, but also worried, you must know that the emperor's personal expedition means that the Great Yuan court will do its best to fight against the Ming army, such an important and critical battle, the emperor must be sober, if he does not look down on or even despise the Ming army, it means that the army of nearly 400,000 is in great danger at all times.

A lot of words, Hedan is also embarrassed to say.

When everyone spoke, Wuliang Hetai's face was always a little indifferent, as if the matter discussed today had little to do with him.

Kublai Khan's eyes swept towards Wuliang Hetai, which was already a little cold, but unfortunately Wuliang Hetai almost didn't look up, I don't know if the emperor is no longer satisfied, or he really doesn't care about all this.

The army had just arrived in Chenzhuang and needed to rest for a few days, so the preparations for the battle could be deployed slowly.

When the discussion was over, Hedan turned to leave, when Kublai Khan spoke.

"Brother Hedan, wait a minute, I still have something to say."

In the Chinese army tent, only Kublai Khan and Hedan were left, and at this time, Kublai Khan spoke again.

"Brother Hedan, do you think that I despise the Ming army too much, I'm afraid that something bad will happen."

Hearing the emperor say this, Hedan's body trembled slightly, and he quickly understood that the emperor would not despise the Ming army, but since he would not despise the Ming army, why did he say those words just now.

Seeing that Hedan didn't speak, Kublai Khan only sighed.

"Brother Hedan, fighting is not only about relying on strong skills, sometimes you need to use your brains, if you listen to all of my words today, you will naturally be able to understand the truth, if you don't listen, no matter what I say, it will not be of much use, you have led the troops to fight for so many years, it is said that there are some matters, you should understand."

Hedan's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, and the minister knows how to lead the troops to fight, and the rest of the things are not considered. . . ."

"It's not okay if you don't want to, you have to think about it."

Habichi, who was blushing, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally raised his head and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister wondered if this move could boost the morale of the soldiers.

A smile appeared on Kublai Khan's face.

"It seems that you can still think of a lot of things, my purpose is this, I know that the Ming army is brave, if I still explain how the army is, how to fight the soldiers below, the morale can not be discharged, the big war is coming, if the morale of the soldiers is gone, they are all afraid, how to fight."
