When the New Year arrives, auspicious words must arrive; The blessings of the heart are also delivered. May friends: New year, new atmosphere, career step by step, wealth and happiness are coming, life is smooth everywhere!

*********************************************************************

Tengchong City has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and there are no civilians in sight on the streets, and there are Ming soldiers in military uniforms.

A torrential rain had just passed, the sun was blazing overhead, the air was humid and filled with water vapor, and the faint wind blew gently on the treetops, also blowing on Zhu Yongxing's face.

It's boring, it's really boring. Zhu Yongxing saw the newly promoted Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan ascending the city tower from a distance, and rolled his eyes helplessly. pretending to be a royal family member, he has face and enough influence, but his identity and status are there, which makes him feel a sense of constraint.

Lowering his body and smiling and being kind can make the soldiers feel honored and cordial, but those generals are afraid that they will look down on themselves, and they will be even more suspicious of losing royal face, Bai Wenxuan and Yi Chengcheng tactfully admonished. It's only when I'm with Mengzhu that I can relax and joke and say something flirtatious and ridiculous.

Well, not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy, you don't even have to think about stirring the horse spoon with the soldiers, why do these people always want to put on a high-minded and dignified appearance. It is said that Emperor Yongli is magnificent, very royal and majestic, and has the appearance of a ninety-five king, which made Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan loyally support. Probably Bai Wenxuan and the others also hope that they have a royal demeanor and not fall into the prestige of the clan, right?

And Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan's several urges to leave the city made Zhu Yongxing suspect that he agreed to implement the Tengchong battle plan in Nansai Gongfang at that time was deliberately deceiving him, tricking him into leaving the front line, and gathering the main force in Tengchong City, which could be turned to the border at any time.

Of course, the amount of preservation is important, and it is understandable to protect one's mood, but Zhu Yongxing also wants to get more and have a greater impact. This is not only to improve one's prestige, but also to lay the foundation for the future. In particular, if the line Guoan does not deal a heavy blow to him, it will inevitably increase resistance during the battle in Guangxi.

"Your Highness—" Bai Wenxuan walked closer, and just as he was about to give a salute, Zhu Yongxing had already raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary.

"King Zhao, where is the Qing army now?" Zhu Yongxing spoke first, he didn't want to listen to Bai Wenxuan's words to ask him to stay away from Tengchong. If everything is perfect, why should he leave Burma and enter Yunnan, and why should he provoke the Qing army? If he doesn't make enough noise, according to the inertia of history, others don't know what serious things will happen in the future, but he knows very well.

"The Qing army has divided its troops." Bai Wenxuan was a little puzzled, and said directly: "The brigade is stationed in Gudong, and the remaining more than 6,000 people, all elites, are rushing over. ”

Zhu Yongxing narrowed his eyes, this was somewhat unexpected to him, division of troops, what are Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan going to do, what are the conspiracies?

Although the Qing army came to Tengchong was elite, due to the destruction of the road and the constant harassment, the speed of the march should not be much faster. But for the Dai native soldiers of the Mengshan Ke and Dao Bailong who served as the attackers, it would obviously be very stressful, and even increase some casualties. Of course, there is also Gao Wengui leading the troops to build a fortress to defend on the periphery of Tengchong, providing buffer time for Tengchong's arrangement.

In Zhu Yongxing's mind, the Qing army should follow the historical expeditionary force tactics, one to search and suppress the Ming army north of Gudong to Pianma, and the other to sweep away the remnants of the enemy on both sides of the Longchuan River, and then form a trend of approaching Tengchong City and encircling Tengchong City. And the Qing army suddenly sent a lone army to take Tengchong directly, which made Zhu Yongxing feel confused.

Bai Wenxuan saw Zhu Yongxing frowning and thinking, and hurriedly suggested: "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you be in danger for a long time, and retreat to Geng Ma to make sure that everything is possible." At this time of danger and danger, if His Royal Highness loses, the hope of Zhongxing will be lost, the morale of the people will be depressed, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Zhu Yongxing glanced at Bai Wenxuan thoughtfully, he was a fake clan, and he also usurped the edict, but everyone else took it seriously, pinning their hopes on himself, the royal family surnamed Zhu, and putting safety first, of course, it was understandable. Ha, I figured it out, others thought so, Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan must also think so, they thought that they would not be involved in danger, they would not fight like a gambler, and the generals would not put him in a dangerous situation, and sitting in Tengchong was just a strong support.

The division of troops by the Qing army was for armed deterrence, and the occupation of Tengchong marked victory and the successful conclusion of the military operation. From this point of view, after more than a month of fighting and the rainy season, the Qing army was already extremely tired, and there must have been many wounded and sick. Hehe, in the rainy season in Yunnan, for the Qing army, which is mostly northerners, the lethality is indeed not small. Well, coupled with the destruction of roads and constant attacks, the Qing army has become tired, and even Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan have lowered the standard of victory, which can be inferred about the current state of the Qing army.

Zhu Yongxing figured it out, gently pursed the corners of his mouth, and showed a sneer. It's a good idea, but you didn't expect that Lao Tzu was different from any of the royal family members, and even different from any of the current people's thoughts.

"Since the enemy dares to come alone, then we will destroy them all in this Tengchong City." Zhu Yongxing's eyes were aggressive, flashing a few essences, and he said his speculation and judgment, and finally said: "Since the Qing army wants to take Tengchong as a step down, we will follow their wishes and give them this empty city." ”

Bai Wenxuan originally wanted to use this incident to persuade Zhu Yongxing to leave Tengchong, but he didn't expect Zhu Yongxing to be eager to try, so he had to toss it again. After a slight sigh, he sighed helplessly and said, "Then let the Marquis of Guangchang block the Qing army for a day and buy time." Your Highness, look—"

"Very good. King Zhao is worthy of being a famous general, and he thinks more thoughtfully than me. Zhu Yongxing glanced at Bai Wenxuan with admiration, worthy of being a veteran, this arrangement will not only make the Qing army suffer some more crimes, but also give the Qing army an illusion, thinking that it is providing time for him to escape from Tengchong, so he will relax his vigilance and enter the empty city.

Bai Wenxuan listened to Zhu Yongxing's praise, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Your Highness, since this is the case, is it time for you to leave the city?" ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will leave the city." Zhu Yongxing knew that this was a matter of time or time, but he still wanted to leave more time to check whether there were any loopholes in his original idea and layout.

"Then I'll go and set it up." Bai Wenxuan gave a salute and turned around and went down the tower.

Daniel Zhang, Line Guoan, you underestimated me, underestimated my courage, I am not those mediocre and afraid of death of the Ming Sect. So, you will pay the price, pay a terrible price. Zhu Yongxing looked to the north, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

……………

The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. However, what you need to know and understand is not only the situation of the opponent's troops, grain and grass, and cities, but also the temperament of the opponent's generals, the strategy of the battle formation, and so on. The more detailed the knowledge, the more accurate the judgment, and the greater the winning rate.

In this respect, Zhu Yongxing has a great advantage. Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan can be called famous generals, marching and fighting for so many years, the law is always traceable, and it can be understood from the generals of the Ming army; As for Zhu Yongxing, not only Daniel Zhang and Xian Guoan know very little, but even these generals under him now, even Mengzhu and Yi Cheng, cannot guess his thoughts, let alone understand his far-reaching vision.
