In the city of Shenyang, Zhu Xieyuan was looking at the map, and behind him were the main generals of Liaodong. Of course, there are also the eunuchs of the prison army in Liaodong, and at this time, the eunuch of the prison army in Liaodong is no longer Chen Hong, but has been replaced by Quan Lin. A young eunuch who has just graduated from the inner study hall, a eunuch who always has a smile on his face.

Neishutang is an extraordinary place in the Ming Dynasty, because it is here to train eunuchs to study, as long as they graduate from here, most of them can join the celebrant and become the most powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.

However, this father-in-law rarely speaks, and he doesn't interfere in military and political affairs, just watching here! Zhu Xieyuan didn't pay attention to him, staring straight at the map, his brows furrowed.

Another more attractive is the envoy of North Korea, this person is called Park Chung-hee, who is considered by the Western People's Party of Korea to be a capable leader. In Injo's anyway, Park Chung-hee played a very key role.

Zhu Xieyuan has a lot of issues to consider at this time, North Korea must be saved, and now the Westerners are in power, which is very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. There is absolutely no room for error, this is a very powerful vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. But how to save it, this has become a problem that Zhu Xieyuan must consider.

"Lord Zhu, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible! It's already July, and it's the best weather for the big army. If it drags on until winter, I'm afraid it will be too late. Korea is being ravaged by Jiannu, and we are always looking forward to the arrival of the Celestial Empire! "Park Chung-hee is a little anxious, and now the time drags on, the greater the losses for North Korea.

Glancing at Park Chung-hee, Zhu Xie-won said with a smile: "This is natural, the marshal is thinking about the way to enter the army!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the generals to the side, and said with a smile: "Generals, I don't know what you think? ”

At this time, Zhu Xieyuan had just come to Liaodong. I am not very familiar with the generals here, and my attitude is more polite. Most of the generals of Liaodong are unruly people, and if you want to convince them, it will take time and a very suitable time. Zhu Xieyuan knew very well in his heart that a victory was enough to change and establish his prestige, and this was a very good opportunity.

"Great. I think we should adopt the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao! Gather heavy troops from Shenyang and go straight to Fushun. After taking Fushun, you can go straight to Hetuala! In this way, Jiannu will inevitably have to come back to help, and it will definitely be able to solve North Korea's behavior, and if time permits, it can also sweep away Jiannu in one fell swoop! A general stood up, respectfully saluted Zhu Xieyuan, and spoke.

Nodding slowly, Zhu Xieyuan looked at the general. He said with a smile: "General Zuo, how many men do you think we need to use to achieve the combat purpose you said?" ”

The person who spoke was none other than Zuo Liangyu! At this time, when he heard Zhu Xieyuan's words, he replied in a deep voice: "Marshal, I have estimated my humble position." Only 80,000 horses are needed! Or 50,000 horses, with the elite of my Liaodong soldiers and horses, it is enough to plow the court and sweep the caves! ”

"Good. Good! Zhu Xieyuan didn't say anything, but looked at the others, and said with a smile: "This is General Zuo's opinion, I don't know which general still has ideas?" Although, it doesn't matter! ”

"Marshal, I don't agree with General Zuo!" Cao Wenzhao, who was on the side, stood up, first saluted Zhu Xieyuan respectfully, and said, "Such a large-scale use of troops is really worth the loss. It's already July, and the weather will turn cold in September! We won't be able to hit Hetuhara then. Instead, it will be taken advantage of by Jiannu. Although the soldiers and horses of Liaodong are elite, it is difficult to do anything in that situation. ”

"If you want to use troops on a large scale. Whether it is food and grass, everything needs to be prepared in advance, and it is too hasty to start now. General Zuo's opinion is a good idea, but it will at least wait until the beginning of spring next year, and the time to fight will be long, and the time to prepare will be very sufficient. Cao Wenzhao's words were reasonable, and many people couldn't stop nodding.

Zhu Xieyuan actually thought in his heart that what Cao Wenzhao said made sense, after all, now was not the time to use troops against Jiannu on a large scale. Such a large-scale military operation also requires the nod of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it also needs to increase troops from other places, which is difficult to achieve by relying on the men and horses of Liaodong alone.

However, Zhu Xieyuan also wanted to try it, and the 100,000 troops of Salhu Ming were divided into four routes, and they were finally defeated. However, Zhu Xieyuan felt that if he went out with 80,000 Liaodong men and horses now, he would definitely be able to plow the court and sweep the caves. But that's not now, but this suggestion can be written as a recital, played by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

It's just that Zhu Xieyuan wouldn't have thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had long known that he could win, but now the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't want to move. The military reform of the Nine Towns has not yet been completed, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse does not want to make extraneous troubles at this time. It's important to be able to keep things steady, and once an army is formed, that's the best time. There will be no accidents, ploughing the court and sweeping the holes in one fell swoop.

Then he listened to the suggestions of several generals, Zhu Xieyuan kept a smile on his face, and when everyone listened, Zhu Xieyuan spoke: "Your opinions are all known, and now I have a plan in my heart." Saying this, Zhu Xieyuan shut up, reached out and picked up the blue order flag on the side.

Seeing this scene, all the generals stood up, this is not an ordinary token, this is the flag of the king's order. As the governor of Liaodong, Zhu Xieyuan also has the royal flag, which can be cut first and then played. The royal order flag is a set of blue order flags and a round token, which means that Zhu Xieyuan is about to announce the order.

"Zuo Liangyu listens to orders!" picked up a token, Zhu Xieyuan called Zuo Liangyu first, and his face was also very serious.

"Humble duty!" Zuo Liangyu hurriedly walked out, just now his proposal was refuted, he originally thought that there was nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that the first person to be called was himself. Although he didn't show it on his face, Zuo Liangyu's heart was still very happy.

Zhu Xieyuan nodded slowly, handed the token to the flag officer on the side, and said loudly: "Zuo Liangyu, this commander orders you to lead a strange army and move along the front line of Kaiyuan Tieling. The main thing is to observe the movements of Jiannu, look for fighters that can be sneak attacked, and contain Jiannu's movements. If there are fighters, they will attack decisively, but they must not act rashly and put the army in danger! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" When Zuo Liangyu heard this order, not only was he not unhappy, but his face was excited. This kind of errand that can actively find fighters has always been his latest favorite. As long as there is a good opportunity to catch up with the vote, it is definitely a credit to you!

nodded, and when Zuo Liangyu walked out, Zhu Xieyuan picked up another order flag and said: "Cao Wenzhao listens to the order, this commander orders you to bring 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, although this commander sends troops to North Korea." Be sure to repel Jiannu's men and horses in Korea, and if possible, annihilate them all! ”

"Yes, sir!" Cao Wenzhao smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to take the order flag, turned around and went out, and straightened out his people.

Stretching out his hand and picking up another order flag, Zhu Xieyuan then arranged, and said, "He Shixian listens to the order!" ”

"Humble duty!" He Shixian hurriedly walked out, and now Liaodong has the highest official position, of course, among military attachés. At this time, when he heard that he had his own affairs, he hurriedly walked out with joy on his face. You must know that He Shixian has a soft spot for war, and he has been idle for a while!

"Ben Shuai ordered you to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to guard Shenyang, and during the time that Ben Shuai was not in Shenyang, Shenyang City was all handed over to you. You must not live up to the trust of Ben Shuai, if there is a mistake, you will come to see you! Zhu Xieyuan's tone was very harsh, and Shenyang could not make a mistake.

The smile on He Shixian's face suddenly froze, what kind of errand is this? Guarding Shenyang City, He Shixian didn't believe that anyone could break through Shenyang City. Thinking of those cannons on the head of the city, which Jiannu can break? But he didn't dare to say anything else at this time, when he ordered the general, it would represent the authority of the commander, and whoever dared not listen would be dragged out and cut down.

Hurriedly and respectfully clenched his fists, He Shixian said loudly: "Don't worry, the handsome man will definitely guard Shenyang City well!" If there is a strong enemy to attack, the humble post will definitely live and die with Shenyang City! ”

Everyone's eyes were a little weird, although they knew that He Shixian was dissatisfied, which was a sign of anger. But at this time, no one dared to laugh, and everyone could only endure it.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Xieyuan didn't seem to hear it, and said loudly: "Okay!" General He said well, it is necessary to have this kind of spirit! Otherwise, how to win the battle, this commander is very relieved to hand over Shenyang City to you! ”

"Okay, the rest of the people are responsible for assisting General He, now let's go their separate ways!" Zhu Xieyuan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out, leaving the North Korean envoy Park Chung-hee alone.

"Lord Zhu, now that Jiannu has invaded North Korea on a large scale, there are many soldiers, and you only bring 20,000 horses, is this a little less?" Park Chung-hee is really a little worried, 20,000 is too little.

Shaking his head with a smile, Zhu Xieyuan comforted: "Master Park, you just put your heart in your stomach!" We've been fighting with Jiannu for the past few years, you should know a little bit, right? We've all won! Now these are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, 20,000 people are enough! ”

Seeing that Park Chung-hee nodded with difficulty, Zhu Xie-won continued: "But there is one thing, Lord Park needs to return to China to report to His Majesty the King first. We were in a hurry to send troops this time, and the grain and grass we carried was definitely very limited. You need to provide us with some so that we can buy them at any time! ”

Park Chung-hee is not a fool, he can naturally understand Zhu Xiewon's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we will naturally prepare grain and grass, as for the words of purchasing, my lord must not mention it again." This time, the heavenly soldiers sent troops to North Korea to relieve North Korea from fire and water, and it is not appropriate for us to provide some grain and grass.

Seeing Park Chung-hee like this, Zhu Xieyuan smiled and nodded!
