It was as if the haze in the sky had suddenly dissipated and shrouded the sky over the Southeast Peninsula, especially the clouds of war over Yeongse, which had suddenly dissipated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The long-awaited strategic decisive battle between the Ming Empire and Ceylon centered on Rong City was suddenly canceled.

Wang Jue looked at the map, and finally sighed - because Sima Mingwei's attack made Ceylon realize the danger of the decisive battle again, and adopted the most secure ladder defensive posture, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Originally, a decisive battle planned by Wang Jue and Miao Shengye to gamble on the fortunes of the country did not happen, and it seemed that the Southeast Peninsula would not be able to distinguish the real winner within a month.

"It's nerve-wracking...... In this way, Zhu Mu's quick decision is unlikely to be realized......" Looking at the map in front of him, Wang Jue shook his head a little helplessly.

The other party suddenly "coaxed", which also made Wang Jue, who was bent on pursuing a quick victory, not have a good chance to get off. He could only let Wang Yan lead the 4th Army to continue the attack to the south and capture the deep area as soon as possible.

Expanding the results as soon as possible is very important for Wang Jue, after all, this is his explanation to Zhu Mu, and it is his explanation to his good friend.

The small village of Qiying soon became the possession of the Ming Empire's troops, and Xiangxi also became the forefront of fierce competition between the two sides.

Wang Jue's onslaught made Miao Shengye very uncomfortable, but he was implementing his strategy of avoiding decisive battles and delaying time, and he was not in a hurry to invest in the main force and compete with Wang Jue for a city and a place.

Even in a larger town like Ha Jing, Miao Shengye did not leave troops to defend, but gave it to Wang Jue.

"If you go south so quickly, you won't be caught by Miao Shengye." Wang Yan looked at his commander and reminded him.

Wang Jue shook his head, he didn't think that Miao Shengye would seize the opportunity to fight back, because he had been making the 4th Army put all kinds of flaws.

These flaws were deliberately left by Wang Jue, and he was sure to make up for them-or, in other words, the reinforcements of the Ming Empire behind him could make up for them!

But Miao Shengye turned a blind eye to these flaws, and he has been like this since the beginning of the battle for Rong City. This represents an attitude, a "I don't fight with you" decision-making!

Before, in terms of decision-making, it has always been the Ming Empire that occupies the initiative, Wang Jue mobilized troops and used various tricks to change the war situation on the Southeast Peninsula, these are the pioneers of the Ming Empire.

However, Miao Shengye jumped out of the dazzling front-line local battles, analyzed the problem from a strategic point of view, and found out the mentality of the Ming Empire that was eager to fight

So now, the defenders of Ceylon are not changing to adapt to all changes, and they are defending step by step to kill the time of the Ming Empire, which makes Wang Jue fall into a state of strategic passivity.

I have to say that Miao Shengye is really a difficult opponent, as soon as he came to the Southeast Peninsula, he took the initiative to take the strategic initiative from the hands of the Ming Empire.

Now Wang Jue can only use one tactical advantage after another to force the other party to change his strategic decisions as much as possible and reverse the overall situation of passivity.

You know, in a few days, the British will be able to open up the Indian Ocean route and enter the familiar waters of Ceylon. Then the British fleet will not advance so slowly, it will immediately pounce on the east coast of the southeast peninsula!

At that time, with the support of this fleet, the waters of the southeast peninsula will be reduced to a fishpond for the Ceylon fleet and the British fleet, and the coastal cities of the Ming Empire will be threatened.

If we don't get enough advantage from the battlefield before then, or get enough bargaining chips for negotiations, then victory on the Korean Peninsula will be discounted.

Because at that time, because there was no point of contention worth discussing on the southeastern peninsula, the two sides would focus on the Korean peninsula and find a balance in negotiations there.

Obviously, exchanging an inadequate Korean Peninsula with a southeastern main fleet is an extremely uneconomical business. Even the entire Korean Peninsula is definitely not a good exchange!

"I deliberately sold the flaws to Miao Shengye, and he didn't take the bait!" Wang Jue sighed, and suddenly felt that the opponent was really very difficult and tricky.

"Now, all I can do is let your troops break through and find the enemy's flaws!" Staring intently at the mountains and mountains on the map, Wang Jue didn't know what he was thinking.

What he was thinking about in his heart was something outside the battlefield, for example, whether Zhu Mu, who was far away in Beijing, would be dissatisfied with the fact that he had been making a small fuss on the Southeast Peninsula and couldn't open the situation.

And will this dissatisfaction affect the front-line decision-making and personnel arrangements, and will it affect the national fortunes of the entire Ming Empire.

In the history of China, how many times have there been cases where the front line has changed due to intervention or constraints in the rear, which eventually led to the defeat of the war and the loss of national fortunes?

I can't count them! the Battle of Chohei during the Warring States Period; the Northern Expedition of the Sui Dynasty; Yue Fei's Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty...... How many ministers and generals, how many emperors and monarchs, have been engraved on the long scroll of history because of such things.

Regardless of the actual situation, these countries have changed their national fortunes because of these wars, and they have gone from prosperity to decline.

Wang Jue didn't want to experience such a thing himself, so he was afraid that his good friend would do this kind of thing, so that their road to hegemony would come to an abrupt end.

"I hope my brother, I won't think about some messy things......" he muttered in his heart, not knowing what the future would become.

At this moment, in the far north, in the capital of the Ming Empire, inside the Forbidden City.

Emperor Zhu Mu threw away the fold he was holding in his hand, and looked at Wang Jianfeng on the side with a sneer on his face: "Lord Shoufu, what do you think of what is said above?" ”

Wang Jianfeng lowered his eyes and read the title of the chapter -- "The Book of Wang Jue, Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast Peninsula by Jiang Lun, a Member of the Household Department." He just bowed his head and said in a very low voice: "Maybe it's forced by food and ammunition, right?" ”

"I don't care if he is forced by heavy logistics, I don't care if he is worried about the country, or if he intends to win my favor!" Zhu Mu's face was still thick with frost, and he spoke in a long voice, which was very formulaic.

"He wants to be Yuwen? I am not Emperor Yang of Sui! Does he want to be Qin Hui? It's not Song Gaozong! No! Throwing the fold to the ground, Zhu Mu shouted: "At this time, join Wang Jue? It's all under pressure on me! I'll wait until I'm dead! ”
