Chapter 139: A dilemma
King Yan instructed his personal soldiers to go to the city to find a good inn to settle Ge Yuntai and his wife temporarily, and after ten days and a half months, after he finished this vicious battle, he took the second elder to the mansion to see Concubine An, and stayed for a while.
Seeing off Ge Yuntai and his wife, King Yan was very emotional, Ge Yuntai was a big celebrity in front of his father in the past, and the officials in the court hugged him before and after, and the person who patted the beard and walked the horse did not say anything, in the past, he had such a momentum between his gestures, but now in just a few months, it has completely changed!
This may be the best portrayal of the fallen tree!
But this kind of day is also very good, there is no distraction, and he lives very calmly, I don't know why King Yan also yearns for this kind of idyllic life with husbands and wives.
Because now he feels that his pressure and burden are too heavy.
It's a pity who to live this kind of life with?
I'm afraid that among my many wives, except for the wife who is willing to be poor and rich and never give up, the rest is really hard to say!
If he is not the current Yan King, but an ordinary person who has nothing, I don't know who will stay by his side in the end?
Thinking of this, King Yan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Zhu Gaozhi saw that his father's guests had been sent away, so he hurried into his father's military camp and wanted to discuss the war with him.
As soon as I entered, I saw my father laughing, and he was laughing very strangely.
Seeing this soldier pressing the realm, how could this father still laugh?
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
King Yan came back to his senses, "Oh, it's Zhi'er, it's nothing!" ”
King Yan hurriedly concealed his embarrassment.
Zhu Gaozhi was very puzzled, why did his father see the two rescued prisoners of war alone just now, and the rest of the rescued Bai Xing, his father temporarily settled in a refugee resettlement site not far from the barracks, waiting for the end of the war, let them return home.
And these two people, but the father asked the guards to arrange directly to the top inn in the city, which is not ordinary.
Zhu Gaozhi has always been ignorant of his father's affairs, but this time he couldn't help but ask: "Father, do you know the old couple just now?" Why did you give him such a good courtesy? ”
King Yan didn't want to explain too much, so he had to say: "Oh, that's your imperial grandfather's righteous son, who used to be the general of Nanjing City, and then returned to his hometown, you rarely returned to Nanjing since you were a child, so naturally you don't know him!" ”
"But since he used to be a general in Nanjing City, how could he fall into the hands of the enemy if he didn't stay in Nanjing City?" Zhu Gaozhi felt that if it was just the old ministry of the emperor's grandfather, his father would not be so polite?
"It's hard to say, okay, let's not talk about this, since you're here, how about analyzing the war with your father?" King Yan felt that his eyebrows were burning now, and the rest had to stand aside.
The most important thing at the moment is how to drive these Tatars out of their territory first, so that they will not come to harass the people of Beiping in recent years.
Speaking of this Beiping City, King Yan suddenly felt that he had come here at the age of nineteen, and he had not lived a few days of peace.
The main reason is that the feng shui of Beiping is excellent, and the land and climate are suitable for growing grain, but there are remnants of the Yuan Dynasty all around, and my father regards this place more important than anything else.
Among the vassal kings, because his father appreciated his strategic vision and talent the most, he gave himself the most dangerous land in Beiping at that time, and let himself take Beiping and defend Beiping!
These Tatars have always been eyeing this Beiping, in the past ten years, often adopt guerrilla tactics, I advance and he retreats, I retreat and he advances, remembering that in this Beiping, they have fought countless battles large and small, and in recent years, the politics and commerce of Beiping City have improved.
But this Northern Mongolia's ambition is too heavy, as long as he recuperates and raises the army, he will start to provoke.
So over and over again, so that King Yan doesn't have to worry about it.
Today, the Tatars lost the first battle, and also lost the prisoners of war who threatened the Beiping army, presumably this Yelu Dada will also be extremely sad after he returns, and with that Arum's violent nature, I am afraid that he will not spare him!
But even if the enemy loses the first battle, he will not rest on his laurels.
It seems that their grain and grass are burned, they did not choose to retreat, but chose to declare war immediately, thinking that it is really necessary to fight quickly, it seems that these Tatars want to take this Beiping City!
"Zhi'er, you hurry up and analyze this method with your father to deal with the enemy army!"
"Yes, Father, the child is here for this!" Zhu Gaozhi frowned.
After today's battle, according to his analysis, the enemy army is going to shout that the generals on both sides will fight each other, and I am afraid that in the future, I will meet each other on the battlefield!
On the way of using soldiers, King Yan felt that he was not necessarily worse than that Arum, but on the physique of the soldiers, King Yan felt that there was still a gap between the Central Plains and the Mongols, especially the cavalry, King Yan felt that he had no need to fight with the Mongols, so he had to fight hard, his own people were not necessarily the opponents of the Mongolian iron cavalry, so he could only outwit, but how to outwit it?
King Yan is really racking his brains.
The enemy army will not give itself time to outwit, the last night attack on the enemy camp was already a startling snake, this enemy army may have increased vigilance, so it is impossible to infiltrate the enemy camp to create chaos, send to this enemy army to work carefully, grasp the dynamics of the enemy army, it is impossible for a while and a half!
King Yan was at a loss, seeing that this soldier was overwhelmed, this big battle couldn't be avoided!
What kind of tricks will the enemy forces use tomorrow?
King Yan had a headache.
"Father, in fact, you don't have to worry so much, you see that General Meng fought a beautiful battle today, and if the Tatars are defeated today, their morale will definitely be reduced a lot, but our Beiping army is not, after today's battle, the morale is high!" Zhu Gaozhi felt that his father really didn't need to worry so much, he had led his troops to fight countless battles over the years, and he had always won more and lost less!
King Yan knew that the terrain of Beiping was dangerous, but it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If you try to delay the enemy's time and wear down their fighting spirit, the chances of the Beiping army winning will be greater, but at present, the opponent's army is seriously short of food and grass, so they will not fight this muddy battle with themselves. Never allow yourself to breathe.
"Zhi'er, having said that, don't you see that this time the Tatar is different from the past? In the past, how could we have officially shouted with our army in this way, in the past, our army took the initiative, and the Tatars have always been able to retreat and retreat, using roundabout tactics, but this time they brought so many soldiers, raised them for ten years, and used them for a while, it seems that the Tatars have great ambitions in this war! We are not to be underestimated! Besides, in terms of troops, some time ago, half of our army was already dispatched by the king of power, and now there are less than 50,000 soldiers, and the enemy is 100,000 troops, so we must not underestimate the enemy! King Yan analyzed carefully.
"Father, if we can't attack, just defend it, our Beiping has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack! The enemy's food has been burned by you and General Yao, and they must not last long! ”
Zhu Gaozhi also felt that this grain and grass was indispensable in the army, and the enemy could not support it without grain and grass!
"But it is not a way to be so surrounded by enemy troops, and our army is always passive! This enemy army tried his best to stimulate the Beiping army, if he only defended and did not attack, I am afraid that the soldiers below would also lose their fighting spirit! King Yan analyzed.
Neither advance nor retreat!
King Yan is really difficult!
"According to what my father said, we are really in a dilemma! For now, let's wait for the emperor's grandfather to send us more soldiers and horses! Presumably, the urgent letter has already arrived at the imperial court! Zhu Gaozhi felt that the form was so grim, and the imperial grandfather would not sit idly by.
"Well, I hope your imperial grandfather can give us some help sooner! It's not enough, and we can't make sure that your imperial grandfather will send us more troops at the moment, and we have to rely on our own! "King Yan feels that he is seriously short of troops now, and it is impossible to transfer troops from King Quan, and the war is also tight there, and the transfer of troops is equivalent to his life!
King Yan carefully studied the battle distribution map of Beiping, and continued to draw with his brush.
By the way, we still have to make a fuss about the grain and grass, the enemy army is short of food and grass, there are two sources, one is by grabbing, the enemy army has more than 100,000 soldiers, robbing may be able to rob a day or two, more, there is not so much food!
The other is to transport grain from the rear, King Yan carefully inspected the place where the Tatars must transport grain, this trip to transport grain down, to say the least, it will take ten days and a half months, then drag him for ten days and a half months, in the place where the enemy army must pass through to transport grain, ambush a large number of troops, cut off his food source.
Now that the sky is freezing, if this enemy army has no food, what if it is not defeated?
Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared on the face of King Yan.
Zhu Gaozhi has been quietly accompanying his father, not daring to disturb his father to think about this important event in the army.
Seeing that his father's brows finally stretched out and showed a smile, Zhu Gaozhi knew that his father had eyebrows.
"What? Did Father think of a foolproof way to deal with the enemy? ”
King Yan nodded.
"Zhi'er, come and see!" King Yan pointed to the strategic distribution map of Beiping and showed it to Zhu Gaozhi.
Zhu Gaozhi saw that his father deliberately circled out the two places with a red pen, which was very strange.
"This wolf's tooth peak, what do you do with Jinyugou's father, this is the only way from the Tatar Gobi Desert to my Beiping!"
"Yes! These are the two places! King Yan had a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.
Zhu Gaozhi couldn't react for a while, what kind of medicine was sold in this father's gourd.
"You said that the enemy army has run out of food and grass, what will they do?" King Yan asked Zhu Gaozhi rhetorically.
"Transporting grain!" Zhu Gaozhi replied without hesitation.
"That's right! Go back to the rear to transport grain and grass! ”
Zhu Gaozhi's mouth suddenly opened.
"Father is saying to stay in these two places and cut off the enemy's food supply?"
King Yan nodded.
"Father, you are really wise, the child is really taught!" Zhu Gaozhi was very appreciative of King Yan's wisdom.
