Zhu Biao sat on a round stool, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked Liu Yidao with a cup of hot tea: "Sir, what do you think about the major events in the world today, can my country be in the world together?" ”

Yang Jue and Zhu Biao sat opposite each other and said: "The Ming army is brave and good at fighting, the Jin people are extremely fierce, and the battle between our army and the Jin army is a fierce dragon fighting evil tiger." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the grass people thought that although the Jin people were strong, they would not be the opponents of our army, and our army would definitely smash the Yellow Dragon, destroy the Jin State, and then dominate the world. ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but he still said with a tiger face: "I treat Mr. as a countryman, is Mr. just repaying me with these sycophants?" ”

Yang Jue said: "No, the Jin people are brave and brave, but after all, manpower and material resources are limited, the previous two attacks on Tokyo, because our army attacked, has already injured their vitality, this time, and to cross the river to fight, it is true that the end of the strong crossbow can not wear Lu Mianye." Speaking of this, Yang Jue licked his lips, glanced at Zhu Biao and said: "Your Majesty let the Jin people cross the river this time, just to annihilate the main force of the Jin people in one fell swoop, the Jin people Jin Ge Iron Horse is powerful, but once the river is crossed, the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed, which is not conducive to the galloping of the Jin cavalry, and will be annihilated by our army." The main force of the Jin people was annihilated, and then His Majesty did not give the Jin people a chance to breathe, waved his army to cross the Northern Expedition, and called on the righteous people of Hebei to echo, may I ask what else the Jin people will use to resist my Da Ming Xiongshi? Therefore, in the next opinion, the key to this battle is whether the main force of the Jin people can be annihilated, not to let them flee north, even if they cannot be completely annihilated, they must be defeated and lost, and the vitality will be greatly damaged, and then there will be a chance to settle the situation in a battle. ”

Zhu Biao didn't expect that a scholar would be able to anticipate the military aircraft he planned clearly, so he said: "Even if you can't hurt the vitality of the Jin people, it's okay to take the opportunity to restore the land of Henan." After controlling the Central Plains and recuperating your strength, you will cross the river with your army and see what the Jin people will do to resist my Ming Iron Army. ”

Yang Jue said: "No, please think about it, as the saying goes: Jurchen soldiers are less than 10,000, and if they are full of 10,000, they are invincible in the world." The grass people thought that the Jin people were powerful in the cavalry, and the north was cold, and in winter, even the Yellow River would be frozen, and at that time, Henan and Hebei would be connected, and the Jin cavalry would go south again, vertical and horizontal, and I am afraid that the land north of the river would be difficult to guard. Therefore, the grass people thought that this bloody battle with the Jin people must annihilate the main force of the Jin people in one battle, and then quickly cross the river to the north, not giving the Jin people a chance to breathe, and capture the Jin people's lair, which is just around the corner. ”

Zhu Biao listened to Yang Jue's words, and was inevitably surprised in his heart. Originally, his Northern Expedition strategy was intended to be implemented according to the Northern Expedition strategy of Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations, and in any case, Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition was the only successful Northern Expedition in Chinese history.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing for the Northern Expedition, he discussed the strategy with the generals, and the battle plan proposed by Chang Yuchun was a battle technique, thinking that the south was safe, and the troops were more than enough, so he took the Yuan capital directly, and used my elite soldiers in a hundred battles to eliminate the tired troops of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's view is just the opposite, pointing out the danger of directly attacking Dadu, thinking that the Yuan Dynasty has built a capital city for hundreds of years, and the fortifications must be very strong. It is better to use the method of chopping trees, first go to the branches and leaves, then dig up the old roots, take Shandong first, remove the screen of Dadu, return to Henan, cut off its wings, enter Tongguan, occupy its portal, and get the military points, and then enter the siege of Dadu. Chang Yuchun still insisted on taking Pingjiang's opinion directly last time, thinking that the nest was fundamental, and the branch was naturally not a problem, but he didn't care about how to maintain the line of communication in the rear, in case it was cut off, the replenishment of soldiers and food would fall into a desperate situation, although it could be a fluke, but it was too risky, and it was not a foolproof plan. Zhu Yuanzhang's tactics were to fight steadily and steadily, expanding step by step, linking the occupied areas with the rear, and the supply lines were under the control of his own forces, and they were invincible, which was indeed a chance of victory.

The drawbacks of the Changyu Spring strategy were later fulfilled in the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At this moment, Zhu Biao's situation is almost the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's, he thinks that as long as he implements Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy, it will be foolproof.

Then I listened to Yang Jue said: "If the Jin Kingdom has entered the last days at this time, Your Majesty's strategy can be said to be extremely safe, and the grass people say that they should gouge out their tongues and gouge out their eyes, today's Jin Kingdom is the same as His Majesty's Ming Dynasty, it is a newly built state, and there is a spirit of prosperity and glory in the country, and the military horses under his command are all capable of conscripting and fighting people, so if the main force of the Jin people cannot be annihilated in this battle, even if they go north, it will be difficult to cross the Yellow River and defend the north of the Jiangbei." The grass people are talking nonsense, and if there is any offense, please forgive your majesty. ”

Zhu Biao listened to Yang Jue's words and suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition is the emerging Ming Dynasty against the declining Yuan Dynasty, so as long as there are no major mistakes in the strategy, it will inevitably succeed, but now his Ming Dynasty is against the emerging Jin State, can it be the same? Just imagine, if Zhu Yuanzhang had fought against the Yuan Dynasty during the Genghis Khan period, would his Northern Expedition have been so smoothly successful?

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Jue, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder Li Chengming said that this Yang Jue Yang Xuanji is amazing, and he is really a character, just imagine that I am a person from later generations, and I have not considered him as well as him on the issue of the Northern Expedition, it seems that this person may be able to replace Wu in the future." Then he asked, "If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed according to Mr.'s plan, and the generals who command the army are all self-respecting, then how should I cut down the domain?" ”

Yang Jue saw that the tea in Zhu Biao's cup had been drunk, he got up and lifted the teapot and poured a full cup for Zhu Biao, but when Zhu Biao asked about cutting the domain, he not only hesitated, the founding kings of the past dynasties, the cutting of the domain was a river of blood. Now that Zhu Biao has proposed the reduction of the feudal domain after reunification, how can Yang Jue not hesitate?

Zhu Biao put the teacup on the desk, stretched, and said, "Please Mr. Wait." As he spoke, he picked up a Taishi chair and placed it opposite Yang Jue, lay on it, and said, "Okay, it's so comfortable, Mr. continue." ”

Yang Jue looked at Zhu Biao's actions, laughed, he has always been free and easy, seeing that Zhu Biao did not have half of the emperor's shelf, exactly the same as ordinary people, how could he not admire in his heart, so he smiled: "Is Your Majesty talking about how to cut the domain?" ”

"Exactly."

Yang Jue said: "From ancient times to the present, there are only three ways to cut the domain. ”
