Chapter 252: Three Falsehoods and One Reality, Straight to the Lair (Part 1)

In fact, Zhu Youzhen was also a little weak in making such a decision, after all, this was a risk of Beijing, his own life and that of his wife and children!

The two sides attacked, no matter whether they could win Jiannu or not, the losses of the Ming Dynasty would be very large, and the Gyeonggi area would probably become a ruin, I don't know how many people will be slaughtered by Jiannu, and I don't know how many people will be plundered by Jiannu as slaves.

The two most elite armies were sent to attack the Jiannu lair, so naturally there was no way to leave the invading Jiannu main force, and the losses would probably be even greater than during the change in the previous life.

But what about Zhu Youzhen? He had to make such a decision. It's not that he wants to take risks, but only in this way can he recreate slaves to the maximum!

Mobilize all the elite soldiers into the pass and fight hard against the invading Jiannu? Who can guarantee whether you can fight and win?

After all, the Praetorian Guard has only been established for two years, and it has never fought a tough battle, so let them fight hard with the main force of Jiannu, not to mention Zhu Youzhen, even Lu Xiangsheng is not at all sure.

The thirty or forty thousand elites that were easily trained, if they were lost all of a sudden, then everything would go back to the past, back to the way it was in the previous life, which was unacceptable to Zhu Youzhen!

Therefore, simply let go of the Jibei defense line and let Jiannu come in, and use the strength of the interior to slow down its pace, and the Praetorian Guard and the Liaoxi Iron Cavalry directly attacked the Jiannu lair, even if they can't break through Shenyang Liaoyang, if they can slaughter all the people outside the city, it is also an excellent thing!

The total population of Jiannu is only hundreds of thousands, and even if you kill 50,000 or 60,000 at a time, it will be a great loss for Jiannu. And when the main force of the invading Jiannu learned that the nest was attacked, they must panic to return to help, and there was no time to coerce the people of the Ming Dynasty out of the customs. As long as you do this a few times, it won't take a few years, and Jiannu will have to collapse!

"Just do it! As long as I can recreate slaves, even if the city of Beijing is besieged, I am willing to take the risk! Zhu Youzhen said categorically, "Lu Aiqing, the strategy is just such a strategy, now you think about it, how to implement it?" ”

Although the strategy has been set, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know how to fight, and he has to listen to the professionals.

Lu Xiangsheng stood next to the map, looked at the map carefully, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a preliminary idea. ”

"The main force of Jiannu invaded, and the combat power of the bannermen left behind was also good. In order for the attack to succeed, it is necessary to mobilize as many forces as possible. ”

"According to estimates, there are about 30,000 to 40,000 bannermen left behind by Jiannu, and our troops, Liaoxi soldiers must send a part back to defend Shanhaiguan. To prevent Jiannu from attacking Shanhaiguan from Guannei, it is also to confuse Jiannu and make him think that the Liao soldiers will return to the Guannei.

Attacking from Liaoxi to Liaoyang, all of them are plains, which is suitable for cavalry vertical and horizontal, so the minister suggested that the army attacking from Liaoxi should simply be cavalry, mainly to attack and harass and contain it.

There are also about 30,000 Dongjiang soldiers, but the Dongjiang soldiers are weak in combat power, and the frontal battle is far from being the opponent of Jiannu, so they should be divided into two routes, attacking Lushun Jinzhou all the way, and striving to take the southern Liaoning Peninsula. The other way sent troops from Phi Dao, first captured Zhenjiang Fort, attacked Phoenix City from Zhenjiang Fort to the west, and made a posture of attacking Liaoyang from Phoenix City, in order to force Jiannu to divide troops to defend.

Then the minister took the main force of the Praetorian Guard, entered Korea from Phi Dao, passed through Tieshan and Yiju, turned to the northeast, crossed the Yalu River from Changcheng to attack Kuandian, and then went north from Kuandian to the old capital of Jiannu Hetuala.

This is a policy of three falsehoods and one reality. Specifically, the Dongjiang Army will launch first, and then the Liaoxi cavalry will move again, if the first three virtual troops go well, they should be able to contain the main force of Jiannu to stay. And with the combat strength of our Praetorian Guard, it is not difficult to advance by leaps and bounds, plough the pavilion and sweep the caves, and capture Hetuala. Then he went all the way west from Hetuala, attacked Fushun and Shenyang, and joined forces with the Liaoxi soldiers under the city of Liaoyang. ”

Lu Xiangsheng talked about his thoughts while looking at the map, explaining his plan in detail, Zhu Youzhen found that he could understand it, and it felt very reasonable, and he said at the moment: "Lu Aiqing's strategy is very good. ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Your Majesty, this is just a matter of talking on paper, and the specific implementation may not be smooth." The troops dispatched involved the Liaoxi soldiers, the Dongjiang soldiers, and our Praetorian Guards, and the four armies of the three parties had to cooperate closely, and this alone was very difficult. Moreover, the troops are divided into four routes, and it is very likely that they will be broken by each of the Jiannu, so the three-way virtual soldiers should not advance too much, and should focus on preserving themselves, and they should also contain the Jiannu army as much as possible.

The Praetorian Guards, on the other hand, had to try their best to hide it in advance so that Jiannu could not detect it, so that it could have the effect of a surprise attack. In the process of specific implementation, various changes are likely to occur.

Moreover, this battle is in the territory of Jiannu, and it will take a long time, and the so-called army will start the grain and grass first, and the grain and grass supply will also be very demanding. Everything has to be taken care of. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Then take everything into account as much as possible, in this way, I will seal your right deputy capital Yushi Liaodong Jingluo, give Shang Fang the sword, and be fully responsible for this battle!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng asked, "What about Governor Sun of Liaodong?" ”

Sun Chuanting is the governor of Liaodong, and now he has made Liaodong Economic Strategy again, and the powers of the two are equivalent to overlapping, which makes Lu Xiangsheng a little confused.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Jiannu invaded from Jibei, and someone in the pass must lead the armies of all parties. And the affairs of Liaodong are all managed by you, the head of Liaodong Economic Strategy! ”

This is equivalent to Sun Chuanting in charge of the pass, Lu Xiangsheng in charge of the pass, one is responsible for dealing with the invasion of the main force of Jiannu, and the other is responsible for copying the nest of Jiannu!

Lu Xiangsheng said: "There are also cavalry in Liaoxi, Your Majesty must let Governor Sun leave it to his ministers, especially the wall cavalry of Cao Wenzhao's general army, which is a sharp weapon against the Jiannu cavalry." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled: "This is natural. Aiqing also heard about Cao Wenzhao's wall cavalry? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Cao Bianjiao's guy always whispered about his uncle's wall cavalry in the minister's ear, saying that he wanted to compete with his uncle to see if he was strong in Liaoxi Iron Cavalry, or my Praetorian Guard, and the minister's ears were all cocooned. ”

"Hahaha......" Zhu Youzhen laughed.

"It's September now, the autumn harvest is coming to an end, if Jiannu invades, I'm afraid it won't take much time, the minister must be prepared, and go to Phi Island as soon as possible." Lu Xiang ascended.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Don't worry, you have marched from northern Shaanxi to Beijing for nearly a month, even if you are not tired, the soldiers will definitely be exhausted, cut to repair in Beijing for a few days, and I have prepared some things for you, when you bring them, it will definitely be of great benefit to you to attack Jiannu!" ”

"What is it?" Lu Xiangsheng asked curiously.

Zhu Youzhen blinked and said, "You'll know in a few days." ”
