"Block every danger, hold on to each danger for no more than two or three days, lure the Qing army deep into the mountains, and then we are here-" Zhu Yongxing's fingers focused on one of the sand tables, "Nanzhai Mansion, go all out to block the Qing army." The Qing army, which was trapped in the Gaoligong Mountains, was inevitably greatly damaged in the continuous rainy days, and its combat effectiveness dropped sharply. At the right time, our army may, depending on the situation, choose to continue to block the attack, or directly retreat to Tengchong, and then lure the enemy into depth, so as to make a deployment for the complete annihilation of the enemy's exhausted division. ”

"It's a good idea to abandon danger and lure the enemy, but is it a bit risky?" Bai Wenxuan first complimented and then questioned, which can be regarded as giving Zhu Yongxing face.

"As soon as the rainy season arrives, our army will be in a disadvantageous position if it does not abandon the danger." Zhu Yongxing sighed softly, his fingers swiped between Tengchong and Gaoligong Mountain, "The mountain road is slippery, the temperature has plummeted, and it is even more difficult to transport materials. ”

Zhu Yongxing was a little moved, and there seemed to be those people who supported the expeditionary force in front of him, and thirty percent of them were women. The man carries 60 catties of grain, the woman carries 40 catties, and one person receives one catty of rice every day. There are no stoves, the road is slippery in the rain, and when you are hungry, you grab raw rice and chew it, and when you are thirsty, you drink the water flowing in the ravine. It was cold, hungry, and rainy, and they couldn't eat a good hot meal, and on the way they fell to death and a number of people died. After handing over the food, when you go home, you will be sick, hungry, and frozen, and another group of people will die.

And people usually only remember the victory, but rarely remember the humble and nameless sacrifices behind the victory. Just like the famous generals who emerged in war, how many brave soldiers did they have under their feet?

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Wu Zisheng groaned and said, "Your Highness's concern is not an exaggeration. Shrink the grain channel, which can be safe. In addition, His Highness's arrangements in Tengchong City have been completed, which can be described as unpredictable, and he can defeat a strong enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, has been left in Tengchong by Zhu Yongxing, but most of his subordinates have been transferred. Although the secret of Zhu Yongxing's design is only known to a few people such as him and Yi Cheng, it can be regarded as a means for Zhu Yongxing to prevent and show trust. But Wu Zisheng still felt that he should behave in front of Zhu Yongxing and be able to lead the troops for the general again.

Looking at Bai Wenxuan and Gao Wengui's inquiring eyes, Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said his arrangements and thoughts. There is no need to keep it anymore, and enlisting their support is the most important thing.

Min Shizi's plan is so far-reaching, no wonder he looks like he has a bamboo in his chest. Bai Wenxuan and Gao Wengui exchanged glances and nodded lightly in unison.

……………

"Your Highness, this is the letter and seal letter that Tengchong just sent." Mengzhu put everything in front of Zhu Yongxing, and waited for him to look at it before opening the letter and reciting them one by one.

Zhu Yongxing played with the copper seal that had just been cast for Bai Wenxuan, and explained a few words from time to time as a reply while listening. finally persuaded Bai Wenxuan and others to act according to his plan, and he was in a pretty good mood.

"Yi Changshi said that King Li Jin has sent Liu Zhen, the son of the King of Shu, and Jin Tongwu, the Marquis of Pingyang, to lead troops to greet His Highness, and they will arrive in a few days."

Oh, Zhu Yongxing's spirits were lifted, and another support army came, although it was not Li Dingguo himself, but it was also a big help. Jin Tongwu is a close confidant of Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo had entrusted him with loneliness when he died, and it was reasonable to come on behalf of Li Dingguo this time, and it gave himself a big face to stay in the court. Liu Zhen, the son of the king of Shu, may feel that his father's death has a lot to do with being under house arrest by Li Dingguo, although Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, entrusted him to Li Dingguo before his death, but it is not very reasonable to have no mustard in his heart, it is likely that he left Li Dingguo for some reason and ran to his side to see if there was a chance.

It's just that after the Battle of Mopan Mountain, King Li Jin didn't have many soldiers and horses left, so how could he specially draw an army to welcome him? Isn't it that Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi, who was withdrawn by order from Nanning, Guangxi, has already joined him? Thinking of this, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help frowning slightly.

Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi brought nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from Nanning, Guangxi, and after joining forces with Li Dingguo, it can be said that the army was greatly boosted. If it weren't for the fact that Li Dingguo killed He Jiuyi later, which made the officers and soldiers of his department dissatisfied and fled, such a relatively strong Ming army would have brought some trouble to the Qing army, right? Zhu Yongxing began to think hard, how could he avoid this civil strife?

"Your Highness, Your Highness—" Mengzhu saw that Zhu Yongxing was suddenly silent, so he called softly.

Zhu Yongxing raised his head and faced the flower-like face, water-like bright eyes, couldn't help but smile to himself, and teased: "Pad once, pad twice, do you have to pad me underneath?" ”

Mengzhu smiled and said: "Your Highness always frowns every time she thinks and meditates, as if she has a difficult puzzle, but Mengzhu has no way to help, so she is really uneasy. ”

"Well, I don't think you can help." Zhu Yongxing sighed softly, the traverser is lonely, this sentence is not wrong at all, and then he smiled again: "If you are by my side, my heart will be peaceful, why should you be at ease." To tell you the truth, your people have paid too much for me, and after several battles since I left Burma, the losses are not small, and I should be the one who is upset! ”

Mengzhu pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to think so, my father and several village owners have already had a plan, although they have lost some clansmen now, but they can familiarize themselves with the battle formation and train an elite army, which is the basis for our clan in the future." Whether it is to Annan or to settle down elsewhere, how can it stand without the guarantee of force? ”

Zhu Yongxing bowed slightly, and training with combat is indeed a quick way to cultivate elite soldiers. Although the strong and brave of the Mengshan Clan have not experienced many major battles. Pay some price now, but in the future it will be a reliable force, Siwei thinks far-reaching, and he really underestimates other people's minds.

"After this battle, let's go east to Annam." Zhu Yongxing shook off the guilt in his heart and said: "At that time, there should be thousands of Ming troops who followed me, which is enough to seize a place to live." In fact, the most desirable place is not there, but further south, by the sea, the Champa state (Chenla). ”

The Mekong Delta was still an undeveloped and inhospitable place at the time, but Zhu Yongxing knew that it would later be the largest rice distribution center in the Far East. As long as an army is sent, the already weak Champa state is estimated to be unable to resist. If there are enough people to develop and grow rice, there will be a stable and high-yield grain base. If the grain problem is solved, we will not be afraid of the blockade of the Qing court's ban on sea relocation, and we can even use the Qing Dynasty to abandon coastal defense and attack vertically and horizontally...... For a moment, Zhu Yongxing thought about it again.
