Do you want to get a monthly pass for October? A few days at the beginning of October were doubled, and Rollo's commitment to fifty plus more did not shrink, and he only asked the big guys to vote for Rollo. Luo Luo suddenly begged, vomiting blood code

Under the heavy sound of footsteps, the tent of the Chinese army was opened, and Wang Lufei was seen striding in. The eyes of the generals in the tent all looked at him.

Li Cuixian had already gotten up, a smile on her face. Li Cuixian is almost the earliest participant in Chen Dexing's career, and she is very familiar with Chen Dexing's brothers, and she never puts any princess and heroine in front of them. Even when he was regent in Yanjing, he also showed enough respect for Chen Dexing's henchmen. And now it is a joint operation between the Ming and Tang armies, although she is the princess, but she is also the commander of the 40,000 Tang Army, and Wang Lufei is the commander of the Ming Army on the battlefield of the Daimyo's Mansion, and theoretically should be the commander of this Tang and Ming coalition army. Li Cuixian should show him enough respect. In this way, he can have the prestige of commanding the coalition forces.

Li Xiong also got up early, and the smile on his dough-like face was piled up, as if he was a shopkeeper doing business. Li Cuixian had already told him that after the Central Plains War, he would be transformed into a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. Now when you meet with Daming's heavy generals, you must always be a little more affectionate. But this is also a self-familiar character, and he can have a good relationship with anyone, otherwise Li Cuixian would not have pulled him into Daming as his henchman in the court.

In addition to the two of them, the generals of the Tang Army looked at the general of the Ming Army with wide eyes and carefully.

Wang Lufei is not too tall, he is covered in steel armor, and he gives people a sense of calmness when he walks. His appearance is simple and simple. There is also a slight color of wind and frost. It doesn't seem surprising at all. The color of the skin is somewhat ruddy and dark, which is obviously the result of long sun exposure. Everybody's an old man. At a glance, you can see that this simple man must have stayed in the army for many years and ate with the soldiers. Walking together, practicing together. Otherwise, with the status of a military governor and guarding a famous city, how can he not be pampered?

Wang Lufei stood still in the tent, his eyes glancing. swept over Li Xiong. fell on Li Cuixian, clasped his fists and saluted: "Princess, the last general will see!" ”

Li Cuixian smiled and returned the salute, her voice like a silver bell, "Brother Wang doesn't need to be polite. Please be seated. Brother Wang, this time sister-in-law, I finally fulfilled my mission and pulled Li Nanshan to the side of Daming. The 40,000 Tang troops here were sent by my third brother to help in the war. You are the governor of the Daimyo's mansion, and you have been confronting the Mongols for so long, so you naturally know their truth very well. How to fight this battle, you have to make up your mind...... The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in this battle is up to you, and that is me, the princess. Listen to your command! ”

Wang Lufei sighed in his heart at the moment, although he also knew that Li Cuixian was proficient in the art of war, but that was "proficient" as a princess, and it was fundamentally different from a real war general-this is the same as those civil officials and marshals in the Southern Dynasty. When it comes to the art of war, it is the way, and when you go to the battlefield, you can boost morale, but it is not enough to really let them command.

He's not welcome. He immediately hummed and nodded. "Then follow the princess's words."

This was bluntly said, but Li Cuixian did not care at all -- the Ming army established by Chen Dexing was an army that attached more importance to the system. Most of the officers in the army have been trained in military academies and know how to act in strict accordance with regulations and conduct.

It's a bit incredible to say, the two officials of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty almost crippled the army to solve the problem of being a general, and it doesn't seem to be a matter when Chen Dexing arrives. A sergeant system, a system of righteous instructors, plus the use of military schools to train officers. As soon as these three methods came out, no Ming army general could turn the army into private property. Moreover, since all officers (of course, the same branch of the military) are trained using the same teaching materials, all the armed forces practice the same management and command system. Therefore, the officers of the Ming army can be rotated frequently, and there is no problem of "the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals". Because almost all the soldiers and all the generals are carved out of the same mold.

And Wang Lufei now does not say "obey orders", but only "according to words", which is also due to the Ming military system. Li Cuixian is not the regent now, so naturally she has no right to command Wang Lufei. Even when Li Cuixian was the regent, he could only issue orders through the General Staff Department - the General Staff Department was in charge of military orders, and the Military Affairs Department was in charge of military affairs, which was also the means of military control that Chen Dexing moved from later generations.

Li Xiong exchanged glances with the generals of the Tang Army present, and they all smiled faintly and bitterly. Some of them also went to the military academy of the Ming army, so they naturally knew the system of the Ming army. If they want to join the Ming army in the future, they will no longer be the generals of the first army.

But then again, although the Ming army has a strict system, the status of the military general is noble, and he is not a martial artist who is bullied by civilian officials. Ordinary soldiers are easy to be knighted, let alone these generals? Li Cuixian has already promised that as long as they are willing to enter the Ming Dynasty, they will have at least one earl in the future, a hereditary grange of at least 10,000 mu, and they will also get a house in Yanjing and Mingdu, and they can also get a one-time gift of 100,000 yuan. In the future, Li Cuixian's sons will be feuded overseas, and those they are willing to follow will have the respect of generals. Even if I don't want to wander thousands of miles, I can also let my children go and spread overseas.

Such a way out, no matter how you look at it, is better than staying on Li Tang's side!

All the generals stood up, and Li Xiong flew to Wang Lu first, and said loudly: "Our red-jacketed generals have always been determined to drive out the Tartars, and now we can fight with the Ming army side by side with the Tartars, which is really a blessing for three lives." We are also willing to obey the orders of the royal overseer. Governor, give your order! ”

His voice was loud, and there was still the slightest tone of Wishing you prosperity to make a fortune, and it was clear that he was one of the few generals in Li Tang's army -- in fact, he was originally one of the three major generals of Yidu who were as famous as Hetian Shidu and Marshal Li. It's just that he has an easy-going face and treats people more kindly.

Wang Lufei smiled gratefully at Li Xiong, and then strode over to an empty chair beside Li Cuixian and stood up. Seeing Li Cuixian sit down, he sat down respectfully - the Ming military system is one thing, and the respect for Li Cuixian, the princess, is another. Just as Li Cuixian herself expected, what she is doing now is in the eyes of the Ming army and in his heart...... After the Central Plains War, her popularity in the army was not comparable to Zhao Lin'er!

"Brother Wang," Li Cuixian said with a smile, "you can give the order." ”

Wang Lufei nodded respectfully, and then said: "It is reported that Kublai Khan's main force has returned to the Daimyo's Mansion and joined the 30,000-strong army he left in the Daimyo on the bank of Zhangshui, thirty miles west of the Fucheng. However, their baggage team did not follow, and it is estimated that they were left somewhere on Zhangde Road. ”

Li Xiong sighed, after the two armies of the Ming and Tang dynasties met, the two banners and eight banners soldiers who were originally summoned by Li Cuixian were naturally transferred to Wang Lufei's command. The Tang army could only understand the movements of the Mongol army through the Ming army.

"The Mongols didn't carry baggage?" Li Xiong pondered. "As far as I know, the Mongol army will carry with them the grain concentrate (horse feed), which can usually last for more than ten days but not more than twenty days, and if the grain is exhausted, they can still kill horses and eat meat. Normally, however, the Mongols would raise grain by threshing grass and grain, but now ......"

Li Xiong once had the status of a Mongolian thousand-household official, so he naturally knew the logistics of the Mongolian army. The Mongols rarely carried their wagons with them, and they either drove cattle and sheep, or simply went with the battle. The reason why they carried so many supplies this time was because Chen Dexing's light cavalry was too strong, and the Mongol army lost too many horses and was no longer able to control the battlefield. Naturally, it becomes very dangerous to hit the grass valley. Moreover, now the war zone between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty has been robbed by the Mongols last year, and the surviving Han people have also been resettled by Chen Ming to Zhending, Baoding, Hejian and other prefectures. The Mongols couldn't have traveled hundreds of miles to grab it - the road was full of horses in steel armor!

However, the mobility of the Mongol army, which carried a large amount of baggage supplies, was greatly reduced. The speed of their march became similar to that of the Ming army and the Tang army. Now Kublai Khan's sudden abrupt drop of his baggage only shows one thing - his army can maneuver quickly.

Wang Lufei's face was already sinking like water, and he continued: "It is reported that after the Mongol army joined forces, it did not come to the Daimyo City...... Instead, they headed to Quang Binh Province to the north. ”

"Going north?" Li Cuixian's eyes rolled, and he already laughed, "Kublai Khan wants to pretend to attack Yanjing and lure my soldiers to leave the Daimyojian City?" ”

Wang Lufei nodded and said, "If this is the plan, if my soldiers follow, they will fight with me." If my soldiers do not move...... Guangping, Shunde, Zhending, and Baoding will be ravaged. It is Yanjing Mansion, and now only Yanjing City and Yanshan Zhukou have heavy defenses! Kublai Khan may be able to rush all the way through, and then break through the Yanshan Pass, and then retreat to the grassland. ”

Now that Hedong has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it is very difficult for Kublai Khan to go out of Shaanxi, but it is easier to go to Yanshan Pass. However, the grasslands north of Yanshan have almost become a no-man's land, there are neither Mongolian herdsmen nor Han farmers, and Kublai Khan's former stronghold in Monan, Kaiping City, has also been abandoned and abandoned. Therefore, the biggest difficulty for Kublai Khan to go north to the steppe was the lack of supplies. Unless he can break a big city in Zhending, Baoding, Yanjing and other prefectures, and plunder enough grain.

Li Cuixian frowned: "Brother Wang, then what do you say we should do?" Will Kublai Khan go north, or will he go to a decisive battle with him? ”

Wang Lufei shook his head, "We can't rely on Kublai Khan, and we can't fight a decisive battle easily...... Kublai Khan had an army of 1780,000 people, and even if we combined the army, we would only have more than 100,000 people, and we would have to leave at least 10,000 people to guard the daimyo. ”

"Then let's ......"

"Tailgating! Let's follow behind, hang Kublai Khan's tail, don't take the initiative to ask for a decisive battle, and don't let him comfortably plunder the prefectures and counties! As long as he can't grab something, he can't go to the grassland! (To be continued......)
