"What do you think?" After the military report was passed around in everyone's hands, Zhu Di asked slowly.

"Your Majesty, what kind of lame man dares to go east, Lao Tzu went to discount his other leg!"

Zhu Neng was still that grumpy and yelled loudly.

It turned out that this military report said that the Timurid Empire in the west launched a great war, led by their general Hari Sultan, an army of 250,000 troops, starting from their capital, all the way to the east, a month ago, had captured Beshin Bali, less than 400 miles away from the Ming Dynasty border Hamiwei.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the army! Salute the head of Harry Sultan! ”

Qiu Fu also said loudly, his title of general was only removed a few days ago, and now he has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, how can he miss it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is also willing to go to war, and he will kill that lame army!"

Zhang Fu has long been idle, and he has been locked up at home by his father these days, so he is even more aggrieved, and now that there is a fight, his bones are starting to itch.

"Father, sons and daughters are also willing to fight!"

Zhu Gaoxu also didn't dare to be lonely, the last time he went to Sichuan to exterminate a refugee, he made Qiu Fu lose his position as a general, and made his eldest brother lose face. Compete for the position of the crown prince, and the chances of winning are even greater.

"What do you think?" Zhu Di didn't pay attention to these people's volunteers, and still asked his old subordinates, Daoyan monks, who had trusted him for decades.

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of Weichen, this time the enemy is menacing, it seems that the ambition is not small, we should prepare early." Monk Daoyan said casually.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Neng cast a disdainful look. Doesn't that mean that you didn't say it?

"But it's August, which means that in July, the enemy has already reached Beshbali. But between Bali and Hami, there is an endless desert, and if their 250,000 troops want to cross the desert, they are afraid that it will be difficult. Therefore, in Weichen's opinion, they will definitely not dare to march in the summer, even if they are eager to engage our army, they will not choose to cross the desert, but will choose to make a detour through the Tianshan Mountains. Climb over the endless snow-capped mountains, or take another more difficult road, climb over the Kunlun Mountains, and attack from Uszang. Either way, there will be many difficulties, and we can wait for the work without rushing to send a large army. And more likely, they will survive this summer and wait until winter comes. Choose to cross the desert and go straight to Hami. However, no matter which path they choose, we have at least three months to prepare, so Wechen built yì. Now do a good job of mobilizing, and then the army will go to support. Monk Daoyan said loudly.

"This monk is not simple."

Hu Ye had to admire Monk Daoyan, it was a pity not to be a general, no wonder Zhu Di trusted this product so much.

In Hu Ye's memory. The cripple Timur did only attack this winter, but I don't know if the brain of his grandson Hari Sultan is caught in the door, and the hot day will be beaten down. Want to cross the Taklamakan Desert in the summer? That is no different from looking for death, not to mention sandstorms, the lack of water alone can wipe out his 250,000 troops.

"There is some truth in the analysis of Stowe." Zhu Di also had to admire Monk Daoyan's analysis, and only his analysis was the most objective, and the rest of the people were either in a hurry to fight or didn't want to do it.

"Still." Zhu Di suddenly changed his words, and everyone immediately became concentrated, they all understood what kind of emperor Zhu Di was, passively beaten? Waiting for someone else to attack? This is not Zhu Di's style.

Do you remember the expedition to the Wa Kingdom a year ago? Just because the Japanese often invaded the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Di, who had just ascended the throne, asked Hu Ye to lead 10,000 horses and horses to go directly to the nest of the Japanese to exterminate the Japanese invaders.

Although everyone didn't know that Hu Ye didn't exterminate the Japanese Invaders, because 10,000 horses were not enough at all.

But they know that Zhu Di is not a passive emperor, and now that someone else has called, is he just waiting?

No!

"I remember that Gansu has Suzhou Wei, Zhenfanwei, Zhenyi Qianhu, Gulang Qianhu, Gaotai Qianhu, Ganzhou Zuowei, Ganzhou Youwei, Ganzhou Zhongwei, Ganzhou Qianwei, Ganzhou Guard, Yongchangwei, Liangzhou Wei, Zhuang Langwei, Xining Wei, Shandanwei, a total of 12 Wei 3, a total of 150,000 people. There are also 7 guards and 5 guards in Shanxi, 12 guards and 6 guards in Henan, and 14 guards and 3 guards in Sichuan, a total of 33 guards and 14 institutes, with a total of 200,000 troops. These are the forces that can only be rushed to Hamiwei in March. With a total of 350,000 troops, why should I wait for them to attack? Zhu Di said loudly.

Hu Ye looked at Zhu Di in surprise, this product actually said all the troops in Gansu, as well as all the troops in Sichuan, Henan, and Shanxi, it seems that this goods have actually been prepared for a long time, even if the cripple Timur does not come to Zhu Di's trouble, he will also go to Timur's trouble.

Hearing Zhu Di say this, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu and others were already enthusiastic, this is still the Yan King who galloped on the battlefield with them back then! is still the iron-blooded general of the blood-stained field, although he has become the throne, but he already likes the battlefield.

"Your Majesty! Weichen doesn't want 350,000, as long as he gives me 100,000 troops, I will kill the enemy in the future and leave no armor! ”

Zhang Fu shouted loudly, he has been waiting for this day for two years, and if he doesn't go to the battlefield to hone and hone, he is afraid that it will rust.

"Wechen is also willing to go!"

"Erchen only needs 50,000!"

"The end will only be 30,000!"

Hu Ye rolled his eyes, this group of starving ghosts was reincarnated, and he thought that Timur's army was muddy? Others conquered the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the west, India in the south, and Russia in the north, and they didn't have any real skills, how could they do this?

In history, if Timur had not died halfway, it was not certain who would have won and who would have lost.

Now that Timur is alive and well, and the time has been advanced for half a year, what is even worse this time Zhu Di does not plan to defend against the enemy and the country, but plans to destroy the enemy outside the country and take the initiative to attack, is it even bigger.

In other words, the army of the Ming Dynasty had to face the desert Gobi that had never been faced before, as well as the endless snow-capped mountains, was this really child's play?

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." Hu Ye said suddenly.

"Fanchanghou, aren't you afraid? If so, you can stay in Nanjing and wait for our good news. ”

Zhu Gaoxu sneered, just looking for an opportunity to humiliate Hu Ye.

"Boy, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Di also frowned, Hu Ye didn't say a word before, he felt that something was wrong, and now when all the generals were enthusiastic, Hu Ye suddenly said coldly, I was afraid that Hu Ye still knew something about Timur's army.

"Your Majesty, there is a good saying, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If the emperor is ready to fight a big war, then it is necessary to use hundreds of thousands of troops, grain and grass is not a small amount, and now the grain output in the northwest border is pitiful, and if you want to have such a huge army, the grain and grass you need must be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, which is also a huge project. Therefore, no matter which general goes out to fight, no matter how many people are dispatched, now the emperor can mobilize grain and grass and transport it to Gansu first. Hu Ye said loudly.

"Haha, yes, yes, you kid thinks it through."

Zhu Neng laughed loudly, originally he also thought that Hu Ye did not agree with Zhu Di's dispatch of troops, and was about to teach Hu Ye a lesson, but when he heard Hu Ye say this, he let Hu Ye go.

Seeing Zhu Neng's teachable eyes, Hu Ye really wanted to kick this thing to death, we are saving your lives, let alone 100,000 troops, even if it is 200,000 troops, it is not easy to cross the desert Gobi to destroy Sultan Hari's men and horses.

"That's right."

Zhu Di also nodded, but with his understanding of Hu Ye, Hu Ye must still have something to say, but it's hard to say now.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, you can go back first, who will go out, when will go out, and how many men and horses will be led, and tomorrow's morning will talk about it." Zhu Di waved his hand and let these people leave, but he named Zhang Yu and Hu Ye to stay.

One is the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, who commands all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, and can be said to be the first person under Zhu Di, and his power is only higher than Zhu Gaochi. There is also a man who knows astronomy and geography, and can also know the gods thousands of miles away, of course, this is what Zhu Di thinks, Hu Ye doesn't dare to be so self-proclaimed.

"Shimei, what do you think of this matter, you didn't say a word in the palace just now."

After coming to the side hall, Zhu Di asked Zhang Yu directly, obviously he also cared about the general's opinion.

"Your Majesty, Wechen heard that the cripple Timur was a powerful person in his early years, and he had never lost a battle in his life, but this time it went against common sense, in the summer, he pushed 250,000 troops to the desert Gobi, there must be some conspiracy, Wechen didn't think about it for a while, so he didn't speak recklessly, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Zhang Yu said.

There was obviously a trace of dissatisfaction in Zhu Di's eyes, as a general, he should naturally fully support his decision, but Zhang Yu was so conservative. Then he set his sights on Hu Ye, in his opinion, Hu Ye is a know-it-all and must have special ideas.

"Boy, tell me your opinion, you had reservations in the palace just now, and now you can speak freely." Zhu Di said loudly to Hu Ye.

"Speak freely? Isn't it okay for Weichen to say anything? Hu Ye asked.

"That's nature."

"Then the emperor must forgive Weichen for his innocence, and Weichen will dare to speak." Hu Ye said.

"You kid is really going to leave a way back for yourself." Zhu Di glanced at Hu Ye with disdain, and then said, "Anyway, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

"Okay, then Weichen will speak." Hu Ye cleared his throat, and then began to speak at length. (To be continued......)
