Looking at Wuliang Hetai's angry eyes and mutilated corpse, Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly and sighed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After putting forward the request for a thick burial of Wulianghetai, Wu Shaogang turned to Cai Siwei and spoke.

"This battle was well grasped, the best opportunity to start, without any losses, wiped out the 100,000 Mongolian army, and the Mongolian iron cavalry 5,000 soldiers, none of them escaped, none of them survived, this is a miracle, Cai Siwei, you have to think more in the future, if you can think so soberly in every battle, what else can stump you."

Cai Siwei hurriedly clenched his fists and spoke.

"The emperor praises, the minister doesn't dare to be, the minister just does things according to the emperor's orders...

Before Cai Siwei finished speaking, Wu Shaogang waved his hand.

"There are not so many mothers-in-law and mothers, don't say these words in front of me, merit is merit, passing is passing, and then you have to undertake more important combat tasks, nearly 140,000 soldiers of the Mongolian iron cavalry, follow Kublai Khan to withdraw to Yishui County, I estimate, they will not stay in Yishui County for a long time, replenish the corresponding grain and grass, and after a little rest, they will pull out, and quickly evacuate in the direction of Jinan Mansion, the further north, the more unfavorable the situation is for me, so you must be vigorous, march day and night, and dare to be in front of the Mongolian iron cavalry, Rush to Majiadun, north of Yishui County, where he organized a defensive line to prevent the evacuation of the Mongol cavalry. ”

"The broken Mongolian army was wiped out so quickly, which Kublai Khan could not have predicted, and he could not get information in a short time, and the heralds left by Kublai Khan were all killed, at least for two to three days or so, Kublai Khan could not get any report, so you still have time to rush ahead of the Mongolian iron cavalry."

"There is not much grain in Yishui County, and Kublai Khan is facing a great dilemma, so he will not waste time, and will choose to march as fast as possible, but the Mongolian iron cavalry under his command will definitely rest a little after arriving in Yishui County."

"Another point, once there is no report from the Mongolian army after the break for more than two days, Kublai Khan will have doubts and even doubts in his heart, and at that time, he is afraid that he will march at a faster pace."

"My purpose is the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, this does not need to be reminded, you also understand, almost all of the 100,000 soldiers under your command have been conquered in the Monan Grassland, in the face of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, although it will not occupy much advantage, but it will not be at an absolute disadvantage, you remember, no matter how many casualties are paid, you must prevent the withdrawal of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, and hold on until the army arrives, only by completely destroying the Mongolian Iron Cavalry and defeating the elite Mongolian Iron Cavalry under Kublai Khan can it be regarded as a real victory."

This time, Cai Siwei did not waste time, leaving many prisoners of the newly attached army, and led the army to move quickly, and it was Zhang Jue who assisted Cai Siwei in commanding the battle.

The large number of prisoners of the new annex army needs to be disposed of, and it is impossible for Wu Shaogang to immediately lead a large army to pursue the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the real extermination of the Mongolian iron cavalry requires the participation of the Dingkun army, and the marching speed of the Dingkun army cannot be so fast.

Zhang Wenqian, Lu Wenhuan and others calculated in detail that Kublai Khan and his Mongolian iron cavalry needed to delay for at least two days before the Ming army could catch up.

This also requires the army led by Cai Siwei and Zhang Jue to hold out for at least three days or so.

With 100,000 Ming troops, blocking nearly 140,000 Mongolian iron cavalry that was almost in a desperate situation, this combat task was indeed not easy, and heavy casualties were secondary, the key was whether they could really stop the Mongolian iron cavalry and force them to retreat to Yishui County.

Just when Cai Siwei and Zhang Jue were about to leave, Wu Shaogang ordered Lu Wenhuan to follow the army, and told Cai Siwei and Zhang Jue that they could consult Lu Wenhuan at a critical time.

Lu Wenhuan, who was overjoyed and his eyes were moist, almost forgot to thank Wu Shaogang.

Lu Wenhuan knew very well that this time he had gained the emperor's trust, and his identity gradually changed, and the stains in the past slowly faded with the gradual opening of this battle.

Cai Siwei, Zhang Jue, Lu Wenhuan and others, are not willing to delay time, they know that catching up before the Mongolian iron horse, is a very difficult task, to complete the task is not so simple, only to catch up with the Mongolian iron horse, dare to arrive in front of the Mongolian iron horse, can be regarded as the completion of the first step of the task.

Each soldier carried six days of grain and grass, hurriedly set off, the map has long marked the route of the march, most of them are marching along the official road, there are also a small number of paths, mainly to ensure that not to be discovered prematurely by the Mongolian iron cavalry.

After personally sending Cai Siwei and the others off, Wu Shaogang spoke to Zhang Wenqian beside him.

"Master Zhang, do you think I can capture or kill Kublai Khan this time?"

Zhang Wenqian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to raise this question, this question was too direct, of course, the purpose of the army's battle was to completely destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty and unify the world.

Seeing that Zhang Wenqian didn't answer for the time being, Wu Shaogang continued to speak.

"I asked very directly, in fact, the main purpose of my battle, this is the case, I hope that everyone must have such ideas and ambitions, there is nothing that cannot be done, as long as there is sufficient preparation, as long as you grasp the right time, place and people, think about more than ten years ago, the Mongolian Dynasty at that time, how powerful, less than twenty years, who would have thought that my Ming Dynasty would be able to force the Great Yuan Dynasty into a corner."

Zhang Wenqian somewhat understood the meaning.

"What the emperor said is that the Great Yuan Dynasty was once extremely strong, and the ministers also offered advice to this dynasty, which can be regarded as witnessing the gradual strengthening of the Great Yuan Dynasty, but in less than ten years, the Great Yuan Dynasty has fallen into such a situation, and the minister thinks that if any strong dynasty forgets the fundamentals and does not understand how it became strong, it will not be far from the time of decline."

Wu Shaogang looked at Zhang Wenqian and slowly spoke.

"What you said is only part of it, Kublai Khan is strong and brave, no one can deny this, otherwise there would not be so many people gathered around him, Kublai Khan's greatest success is to integrate Han culture into the Mongols, his biggest mistake is to worship his own Mongol identity too much."

"The gradual strength of the Great Yuan Dynasty is inseparable from the Han ministers, Kublai Khan is very clear about this, the Mongol Dynasty of that year, according to the management method of the Mongolian tribes, there is no official Yulu, there is no Zhongshu Province, and there is not even basic court etiquette, everything is in a state of chaos and disorder, the winner is the king and the loser is the Kou, there is no order and etiquette, whoever has great power, who can control everything, Kublai Khan knows that such a state, can not control the world, so he made changes in time."

"It's a pity that Kublai Khan still doesn't believe in the Han ministers in his bones, the so-called use of people is not suspicious, and when he becomes stronger, he begins to doubt the Han ministers around him, blindly trusting the Mongols and Semu people, isn't this move self-destructive."

"But all this, I don't think it's the most important, Kublai Khan's biggest mistake is to slack off people's livelihood."

"Maybe I can't blame Kublai Khan for this, Kublai Khan has been fighting everywhere since he was a child, he is extremely brave, and he believes in force, and has little contact with people's livelihood matters, and then pays attention to farming, and it is also under the reminder of the Han ministers around him that he failed to pay attention to people's livelihood from the heart, and he does not disdain to worry about people's livelihood matters, which is his biggest mistake."

"To this day, I want to tell the truth, if Kublai Khan trusts the Han ministers around him, believes that everyone in this world has flaws, uses people's strengths, and pays attention to the people's livelihood, I have no chance at all, I can only surrender to the Great Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately Kublai Khan is not such a person, and the military conquest he believes in can only last for a while, and it cannot last long."

"I attach importance to the people's livelihood, the Ming Dynasty attaches importance to the people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is obtained by attaching importance to the people's livelihood, if this is lost, the Ming Dynasty will be difficult to continue."

。。。

Zhang Wenqian looked at Wu Shaogang and forgot to nod, after being by the emperor's side for so long, it was the first time he heard the emperor say so many words, these words were an evaluation of Kublai Khan, and it was not the emperor's evaluation of himself, look at the wealth of Kaifeng, Sichuan and other places, look at the peace and tranquility of the people, compare the people of the Great Song Dynasty, or the people under the leadership of the current Great Yuan Dynasty, the difference is instantly reflected.

The emperor once said that any strong sergeant comes from among the people, if he does not get the support of the people, how can the sergeant go to work, if these sergeants always think about protecting their families, protecting their own wealth, always thinking about protecting the peaceful life of their families, and do not allow others to come to harass, how can such sergeants be afraid on the battlefield, even if they are sometimes afraid, thinking of the family behind them, they will also be desperate.

This is probably the reason why the Ming army is extremely strong, the real internal reason.

What is left in Zhang Wenqian's heart is admiration, that is, admiration, this time he followed the emperor on the expedition, he really saw the emperor's wisdom and decisiveness, the Ming army is under the leadership of the emperor, who can be the enemy in this world, even Kublai Khan is not an opponent.

The courage of the Ming army and the rise of the Ming Dynasty are by no means accidental, there are too many inevitabilities in it.

Wu Shaogang's eyes looked in the direction of Yishui County, a predictable tragic battle, a few days later, the battle horn of the Mongolian iron cavalry under the command of Kublai Khan has been sounded, if this battle is smooth, then the Great Yuan Dynasty will fall in this battle, even if Kublai Khan wants to leave Dadu and Yanjing and return to the Mobei grassland, there is no chance.
