The situation of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Zhao Tianlun's army in Shandong Province is quite bad.

Due to the rapid advance of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which aroused the fear of Meng Yuan, the East and West Battalions were specially set up, with the Middle East Battalion centered on Langfang and the West Battalion centered on Baoding, dispatching troops from all walks of life to eliminate the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The eastern camp was commanded by Taiping Zuo, the prime minister of Mengyuan Zhongshu Province, and requisitioned 20,000 cowardly Xue troops, 20,000 guards and pro-army, 20,000 Han troops, and 30,000 Tanma Red troops, totaling 90,000 troops.

Taiping's real name was Yuan Weiyi, with outstanding talents, and when he was transferred to the center, he was excluded as a non-Mongolian ethnic group, and Emperor Yuan gave him the surname Mongolia, the name Taiping.

The starting point of the name is good, but the cruel thing is that the world is not peaceful.

As for the Baoding West Battalion, it is to be commanded by the Mengyuan Yu King Alatena Lost, Alatena Lost Li has just defeated Liu Futong's Red Turban Army's Western Route Army, and before resting for two days, he received an order from the Mengyuan Imperial Court, and had to rush to Baoding day and night to start rectifying the Western Battalion.

When he rushed to Baoding, Baoding had already assembled 30,000 guards and soldiers, 40,000 Han troops, and 20,000 Tanma Red troops, and as for the other troops, they were still on the way to mobilize.

The east camp and the west camp are the big shields and spears set up by the Mengyuan court both offensive and defensive, in addition, the Mengyuan court also dispatched other Yuan soldiers from all walks of life to besiege the Northern Expeditionary Army from all sides.

Due to the watchfulness of Liu Futong's department of the Red Turban Army, the commander of the Mengyuan Henan Side, who originally surrounded and suppressed Liu Futong, knew about the affairs of the Privy Council and controlled the Henan armies.

Among them, there are 20,000 guards and pro-army, 40,000 Han troops, and 50,000 Tanma Red troops, totaling 110,000 troops.

In addition, there were other Yuan soldiers from all walks of life who were also dispatched by Meng Yuan, like evil wolves, from all sides.

……

Between the rivers.

Hejian is located in the plain, there is no place to win, there is no pass to defend, regardless of east, west, north and south, can be easily broken into, it is not a suitable place to stay.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was also helpless. You can only stay here to rectify.

Although everyone knows that the Northern Expeditionary Army is nominally headed by Wang Kuai, but in fact it is dominated by Liu Wen, Wang Yuyan, and Zhuge Liang, but after all, the army is a place of masculinity, and it is not suitable for women to show their heads. Therefore, it is naturally Zhuge Liang who came forward to integrate the armies.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang is an ancient man thousands of years ago after all, if they really know that Zhuge Liang has come through thousands of years, I am afraid that it will cause fluctuations in the morale of the army, and even collapse without a fight.

Who wants their commander to be an immortal demon for thousands of years?

So. Zhuge Liang used the pseudonym Zhuge Guang in the army, the word Kong Ming, and claimed to be Zhuge Liang's admirer, and he was so-so and confused.

Zhuge Liang is essentially a dictator, in history, in the era of Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty, there was no and no second voice in the court except Zhuge Liang, and it was no exception in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the so-called military discussion was Zhuge Liang's personal show.

The only difference from history is that Zhuge Liang is after the solo show. He also had to report to the two daughters-in-law of his immediate boss, not with their consent, but to avoid misunderstandings between them.

"Two ladies," Zhuge Liang pointed at the map of the administrative region of Mengyuan, which was found in Jinan and was estimated to be the spoils of Mao Gui at that time, "Based on the intelligence of all parties, the number of troops drawn from Mengyuan is as high as more than 600,000, and the situation of our army is surrounded from all sides." Quite grim. ”

The situation is dire, and this is to be expected.

The speed of the Northern Expeditionary Army is not slow, but the reaction of the Yuan soldiers is not slow. In particular, Meng Yuan, who had just experienced the three-way Northern Expedition of Liu Futong's Red Turban Army, had already started its war machine, in other words, Zhao Tianlun's Northern Expedition did not have the advantage of being a first-mover, let alone achieved unexpected results.

"How did you arrange it, sir?" Liu Wen is studying very hard. But unfortunately, the difficulty of the military science is too great, and her highest education is only a junior high school diploma, and she has not yet obtained a high school diploma. ”

"His Majesty Taizu has a famous saying, it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers," Zhuge Liang's face was as pale as jade, and he was as calm as a mountain, "Therefore, Liang decided to concentrate his forces, eliminate one of the Yuan soldiers from one to the other, and according to Taizu's strategy, look for a good opportunity to break the enemy in the movement war." ”

Hiss......

Liu Wen took a breath and stared at Zhuge Liang in a daze, and after a few seconds, Liu Wen turned to Wang Yuyan, thought about it, and asked in the team channel: "Sister Yuyan, who is this Taizu, why does it sound a little familiar?" ”

Wang Yuyan was also confused: "Taizu, generally the founding emperor is called Taizu, who knows who Zhuge Liang is talking about." ”

"But," Liu Wen blinked widely, "It's better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, and to fight in sports, how do these words sound so familiar, which Taizu said these words?" ”

Thousands of miles away, Zhao Tianlun, who noticed these conversations, was speechless, because he never imagined that Zhuge Liang would be so interested in His Majesty Taizu, and he had even studied Taizu's anthology.

"A spark can start a prairie fire, this is another famous saying of Taizu;" Zhao Tianlun couldn't bear Liu Wen and Wang Yuyan's disrespect for His Majesty Taizu, so he had to interject halfway, "Crossing the Chishui four times and reversing the world is the pinnacle of Taizu's history of war." ”

"Ah......h

Liu Wen's little face turned red for a moment, because she only now realized who this Taizu was referring to.

It shouldn't be!

It really shouldn't!

"Which Taizu are you talking about?" Wang Yuyan was a little unhappy, because Liu Wen should have understood, but she still didn't understand.

"Mao Taizu," Zhao Tianlun had no choice but to point out, "This is after you, it's normal for you not to know." ”

"Our army now has 300,000 people," Zhuge Liang regained the initiative on the topic again, "Although most of them are composed of surrendered troops, these surrendered troops have been transformed into reliable combat strength of our army." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's admiration for Taizu exploded again, because of the education of grievances among the captives, the criticism and education of the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the denunciation and education of the brutal Mengyuan court, etc., it was easy to transform a large number of prisoners into a firm Northern Expeditionary Army.

No matter what era it is, even in the late Han Dynasty, such as in Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei's soldiers mainly rely on pulling strong ding. When the situation is good, these soldiers still have a certain centripetal force, and once the situation is not good, the phenomenon of desertion is inevitable.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the situation was even more obvious, many people served as soldiers just to avoid starvation, and they were already full of dissatisfaction with the Mengyuan court. This kind of complaint, criticism, and denunciation of the Northern Expeditionary Army awakened the memory in their hearts, and made them quickly change their position and become staunch soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

And then. Coupled with the fight against local tyrants and the division of land, although the Northern Expeditionary Army advanced rapidly, the rear was extremely stable.

Liu Wen looked at Zhuge Liang with a very strange look in her eyes-

Taizu hasn't been born yet, but there is one more fan, I don't know Taizu under Jiuquan......

Wrong. I don't know if Taizu will be very relieved after a thousand years?

Zhao Tianlun couldn't give any opinion on Zhuge Liang's strategy, after all, he was not an expert in this area.

Consult Wei Yan's opinion?

As soon as this idea appeared, it was vetoed by Zhao Tianlun, because Wei Yan was good at winning by surprise, but in the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, it was better to use a dignified teacher to practice yang strategy.

"That's it, are they called Hanako when they are the king?"

The roar of anger pierced the barrier of the blue brick house, causing the guards hundreds of paces away to shudder. looked at each other, and wondered in their hearts-

Which guy who is not afraid of death has provoked the prince to be angry?

Baoding.

Baoding was originally called Baozhou, belongs to Shuntian Road, and then Shuntian Road was changed to Baoding Road, Baozhou was renamed Baoding, meaning "defend the capital, stabilize the world".

Although there are 90,000 officers and soldiers in Baoding, he is not familiar with these 90,000 officers and soldiers, especially the morale of these 90,000 officers and soldiers. He didn't have a score in his heart.

As a high-ranking Mongol, Arathena is not a reckless person, and he understands that the current Mongols are no longer the Mongols who swept the world when they were founded, and the flowery world of the Central Plains has made them degenerate from wild wolves to domestic dogs. There are even some people who have degenerated from domestic dogs to domestic pigs.

However, even if it is a pig, Aratna is confident that this pig will become a bloodthirsty wild boar!

"Since you don't know how to lift and kill yourself, then don't blame this king for being ruthless."

Grabbing a few arrows, Alatena gave a sharp order: "Block the four gates." Dispatch 10,000 guards to the pro-army, 20,000 Han troops, and 10,000 Tanma Red Army, the whole city is a big rope, arrest traitors, and if you resist, you will be killed! ”

As soon as Aratna's words fell, several Han officials in the room knelt on the ground and pounded their heads like garlic: "Think twice, think twice." ”

"Lord Wang, once the army enters the city, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Lord Wang, I'll wait here to urge those gentry, and I will definitely satisfy the prince."

……

"Satisfied?" Aratna smirked, "How is this king satisfied?" Such a big Baoding, they only donated 30,000 taels of silver to reward the army, they are really unhappy to be the king's knife? ”

If you want to turn domestic pigs into wild boars, let domestic dogs become wild wolves, or use blood to stimulate, or use money to stimulate, Aratna doesn't want to use blood, because Baoding is the gateway to the west of the capital after all, once Baoding is full of blood and people's heads, his fate is estimated to be very miserable......

However, if he couldn't eliminate or stop this Northern Expeditionary Army, then his fate would not be much better.

"Okay," Aratena slowly put the arrow back, word by word, "this king will give them another chance, within three days, if they don't see a million taels of silver, this king will let his sons go and fetch it themselves!" ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity."

"Don't worry, the prince, we will definitely know the stakes and let them donate voluntarily."

"Tell them," Alathena sighed, "if they can't stop the Northern Expeditionary Army, they won't be able to leave anything, and the current slogan of this Northern Expeditionary Army is to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, and if they don't want to die, be honest with me." ”

Nima ......

Aratna was speechless in his heart, because the slogans of the Northern Expeditionary Army were too demagogic.

Fight local tyrants and divide the fields!

The blatant robbery was so justified that even he was a little moved.

Under these circumstances, if he could not promise heavy profits, Aratna was worried that his officers and soldiers would defect......

Most of the soldiers are poor!

Most of the soldiers are robbers!

can rob blatantly, and can rob so brightly, who wouldn't be tempted?

At least, he's already excited!

……

The problem encountered by Aratena is also the problem encountered by Taiping, but Aratena can solve this problem, but Taiping cannot.

Langfang.

A corridor refers to a passage under the eaves, a passage within a house, or an independent covered passage; A corridor is a long, narrow passageway; Fang refers to the market.

The emergence and development of Langfang came with the development of Tianjin Port, and the original role of Langfang was a transit station between Tianjin and Dadu, and it was also a distribution center for goods.

The people who can gain a foothold in Langfang are all extraordinary people who have their own support, so the tough means can be done by Alathena, but Taiping can't do it, because although he now has a Mongolian name, he is essentially Han and still belongs to a minority in the imperial court.

Especially now, the rebellion of the Han army in various places has made the Han officials suspicious in the imperial court, and even Chahan Temur has been convicted for this, and he is naturally even more unsatisfactory as a pure Han man.

Aratena lost the military and noticed that the army's morale was unstable, and Taiping naturally discovered this, but he couldn't use the means of Aratena Lost, fortunately, Taiping also had the advantage of Taiping-

20,000 cowardly Xue troops!

The Han army may be bewitched by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Tanma Red Army may also be bewitched, and the guards and pro-army will also be unstable, but the cowardly Xue army will not, because the cowardly Xue army is composed of the children of Mongolian magnates and generals, all of whom are rich families, and they are the targets of the Northern Expeditionary Army to fight local tyrants.

It's just, Nima, isn't this a cheat?

Does the army composed of the rich second generation still have combat effectiveness?

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

Taiping's thorough understanding of the army under his jurisdiction made him feel cool and cool in his heart-

There is no doubt about the loyalty of the cowardly Xue army to the imperial court, but how high can an army with concubines, cooks, and domestic servants on the march have?

As for the situation of the guards and the pro-army, it is much better than the cowardly Xue army, as a standing army guarding the hinterland area, the guards and pro-army are indeed well-trained and can fight at any time, but the military spirit of the pro-army is a little unstable, because the composition of the guard pro-army is too complicated, there are colored people and Han people, of which the Han people also account for most of them.

The Tanma Red Army was originally composed of warriors from various tribes, but after Meng Yuan pacified the world, the Tanma Red Army also took root, and the soldiers and farmers were united.

Therefore, the Tanma Red Army is also unstable, and it is also very tempting for them to fight local tyrants and divide the land.

As for the Han soldiers......

Don't count on it!

The status of the Han soldiers in the various arms of the imperial court is not the lowest, and there are new annexed armies or southern armies under the Han soldiers, but because the status of the Han people is underground, the status of the Han army is naturally very low, not only the military salary is often in arrears, but even three meals are sometimes difficult to guarantee.

20,000 Han troops are actually 20,000 unstable factors.

Do you want to strike first and destroy them?

In his anxiety, Taiping suddenly had this crazy idea-

Otherwise, what should I do if the 20,000 Han troops defect at the time of the battle? (To be continued.) )
