Chapter 542: The Second Battle of Annam III

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang's policy towards Annan at the beginning was a slow encroachment. Step by step, Annan was strangled. Zhu Houhuang's first step was very successful, and the south of Haiyun Pass was owned by Dongyong. Having taken Haiphong again, it can be regarded as driving a nail near Thang Long. With Zhu Houhuang's thoughts, this time hit Mo Dengyong again, and then took a piece of land from Annan, and so on three times four times, four times three times later. Weaken Annan step by step. Swallow it in one bite at the end.

If you want to destroy Annan in one fell swoop, I am afraid that it is not very appropriate, because Annan is a big country. There are millions of people, and if you are in a hurry, you can pull out an army of millions. How many troops does Dongyong have now, a total of seven or eight battalions, forty or fifty thousand, even if all these strengths are invested in Annan, they may not be able to control Annan.

Wang Yangming looked at Zhu Houhuang's face and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, are you worried about being able to capture Annan?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Exactly, Gu is confident that he can defeat Annan's army, but how many troops Dongyong has, Wang Shi also knows, and it is not enough to control Annan at all." How can Annan be annexed? ”

Wang Yangming said: "Your Highness, don't forget to occupy the city? ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "How can Lone forget to occupy the city, but the strength of the Zhancheng army is enough to rely on. ”

Zhu Houhuang has been running Nanyang for a period of time, and he also has a loyal little brother.

This faithful little brother is Champa. Even now, the main force of coastal defense is still the Champa army. At the beginning, a group of Champa troops broke away from Champa and joined Zhu Houhuang's command. Has been stationed in coastal defense.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang knows the strength of the Cham army very well, and it is okay to fight, and there is no need to count on the rest.

Wang Yangming said: "The situation in Annan, if there is no intervention in the domestic situation of Annan, it will definitely be Mo Dengyong who has the absolute upper hand, and it is not impossible to even unify Annan." The minister suggested that instead of going to Haiphong, go directly to Da Nang, and go all the way north from Da Nang. With the Yong army as the front arrow, and the Zhancheng army as the baggage army, it is enough to fight. ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't care about Wang Yangming's solution to the Champa army, anyway, the Champa army had always been fighting. But he was surprised by what Wang Yangming said about going north from Da Nang, and asked, "Why?" ”

After deciding to attack Annam for the second time, Zhu Houhuang's idea was to march from Haiphong and attack Thang Long, just like the last time, to decide the outcome in one battle. I never thought that Wang Yangming would ask Zhu Houhuang to set off from Da Nang, just looking at the straight-line distance between Da Nang and Thang Long. I knew that the march alone would definitely take a long time. It is not in line with Zhu Houhuang's mind of a quick decision at all.

Wang Yangming said: "First, help. Even if Dongyong comes out of the country, there are only 50,000 people. What's more, the current situation of Dongyong is here. These 50,000 people will definitely not be able to go out on the expedition. Moreover, Mo Dengyong's subordinates can still dispatch more than 100,000 troops at a time. In order to make up for the huge gap in numbers with the enemy, we need helpers. The Champa army could not be counted on, at most they were not bad as porters. ”

"So where is the help that Wang Shi said?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

"It's Annan Zheng Sui and Chen Zhen's old department." Wang Yangming said: "Mo Deng's mediocrity is very powerful, and it will inevitably affect them, so His Highness can win them over." For his own use, use the Yong army to suppress the formation, and let the Annan army attack, such a tactic is of great benefit to Dongyong. ”

Zhu Houhuang decided to be familiar with it, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the tactic of the Manchu Qing in the Central Plains? The Eight Banners Army in the hands of the Manchu ministers was always used to suppress the formation. It is the Green Battalion that really fights hard battles. This kind of good is good, but how can he ensure that these people will be used for his own use, Zhu Houhuang asked Wang Yangming this question.

Wang Yangming smiled lightly and said, "It depends on whether His Highness's handwriting is enough?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "How do you say this? ”

Wang Yangming said: "After the death of Tieshan Bo Chen Zhen. The old tribe of Tieshanbo has never been united, so as long as they are defeated in a battle, they can recruit rebels. But the difficulty is in Zheng Sui. Zheng Sui, like Mo Dengyong, is an important minister of Annan, I am afraid it is difficult to convince, but Zheng Sui has repeatedly lost to Mo Dengyong. The current situation should have the mind to change, otherwise he can't hate it at all
