Not to mention Geng Bingwen, the commander of the Southern Army, to say Guo Ying, is a great figure.

Guo Ying is one of the twenty-four generals of the Ming Dynasty, he has not been a chief general, he has been a deputy general for others all his life, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Fu Youde, Geng Bingwen have all partnered with him.

But this did not affect his reputation in the slightest, and Guo Ying was known for his bravery, fighting from Zhuzhou to Poyang Lake, and from the northwest to Yunnan. The scars are his military exploits, Guo Ying fought more than 500 battles in his life, and was injured in more than 70 places.

Zhu Zhi, King of Liao, Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, and Yang Wen, a fierce general......

230,000 elite soldiers and fierce generals, and the generals are all the pinnacle of Jianwen's dynasty, how can this be fought?

Zhu Huan traveled all the way to Yong'anwei, although he recovered the Jinan Army, Changsen Army, and Yongpingwei, but the main force was only a little more than 50,000, and the number of troops was less than 80,000. Fighting a battle with the Liaodong Army in its heyday, whether it can be fought or not is it not mentioned first, even if it is fought, how many remaining troops can there be?

He fought Liaodong so that this place could be attacked and defended, not only to suppress Zhu Di, but also to invade the Mongol tribes, the Jurchen tribes, Korea and the Wa Kingdom and other places.

Fight with the Liaodong Army and clean up your family, what's the use of Liaodong, you can't hold it anyway!

However, today's Liaodong Army is no longer the Liaodong Army that was terrifying at the beginning.

The decline of the Liaodong Army starts with Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, Zhu Huan's younger brother, like the famous general Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, has a superior IQ, but his EQ is extremely low, and he is a typical representative of the wrong team.

When Zhu Zhi became a vassal domain, due to the relatively short time, insufficient preparation of various materials, coupled with the lack of local food, it was not even enough to support the food and drink of the entire Liao Palace. Moreover, at that time, the fief of the King of Liao did not even have a palace, so after Zhu Zhi and his army passed, they could only temporarily station on the north bank of the Daling River, cut down trees, build houses, and fence them with branches, so they hurriedly made a temporary "Liao Wangfu".

Although the conditions were difficult, Zhu Zhi still conscientiously did his own work, training troops in Liaodong to prepare for the border and carry out tuntian, and after a few years, the results were remarkable, and the military salary could not only be self-sufficient, but also give back to the imperial court. At this time, Zhu Zhi had already begun to take root in the Liaodong region, and he lacked experience in political struggle, and due to a defeat in the team, everything he operated in Liaodong was gone.

When Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Yunwen, who succeeded to the throne, implemented a radical policy of cutting the feudal domain, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, couldn't bear it anymore and directly opposed his mother.

Originally, this matter didn't have much to do with Zhu Zhi, who was stationed in Liaodong, and he was not very familiar with Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen. However, because Jianwen cut the domain, Zhu Zhi was also a victim, so he was more inclined to Zhu Di.

However, the problem is that Zhu Zhi's fiefdom is very close to Zhu Di, and King Ning and King Gu were also ordered by Zhu Yunwen to return to Jinling because of this reason. This move undoubtedly disguised the team supports Zhu Yunwen's side.

Zhu Zhi is really a talent, when Zhu Di is gone, he stands on Zhu Di's side, and when Zhu Di is gone, he stands on Jianwen's side.

Although Zhu Zhi left Liaodong, it didn't hurt to have Geng Bingwen to support the overall situation.

However, later Geng Bingwen also left, and he not only left, but also took with him Guo Liang, the Marquis of Wuding, and the 130,000 Liaodong army.

This greatly damaged the vitality of the Liaodong Army.

After Geng Bingwen left, Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, took over Geng Bingwen's position, and Yang Wen served as Wu Gao's deputy. At this time, the Liaodong Army was reasonable, after all, with Wu Gao's talent, he could still command the Liaodong Army.

This state did not last long, and Wu Gao was exiled because of Zhu Di's discordant scheme.

The Liaodong Army, which is full of talents, has to be defended by a fierce future like Yang Wen until now.

Yang Wen: Is that the material to be in charge!

The 100,000 Liaodong Army, under the governance of Yang Wen, was invincible in repeated battles, undisciplined, and suspicious, which can be called half-useless.

Against such a Liaodong army, Zhu Huan did not think that he would be defeated, although his army was somewhat inferior in numbers.

"Disperse the scouts and find out the number of roads in the rear of the Liaodong Army." Zhu Huan said solemnly: "Since the Liaodong Army is going to attack, then we will defend, take the defense as the attack, and defend the territory, and when the Liaodong Army shows its flaws, we will make a surprise attack from the weakness of the Liaodong Army front and catch him off guard." ”

From ancient times to the present day, the defenders have often had an advantage over the attacking armies. The Liaodong Army sent it to the door by itself, so why did Zhu Huan bother thinking about how to fight it?

"The walls are clear, all the resources outside the city are removed, and not a single stitch or thread is left to the enemy. Everything that can be used as a bunker will be dismantled, and everything that cannot be demolished will be burned, and all water sources outside the city will be poisoned. Zhu Huan said: "The artillery battalion finds the right position and selects the most suitable artillery position." To strengthen the sheep and horse wall, it should be built to be five feet high and seven feet thick. Arrange shooting towers on the horse face of the city wall, and put all the bed crossbows in the city on them! Outside the sheep and horse wall, two layers of horse rejection piles are added, and between each layer must be dug out of a horse trap pit that is one foot wide and three feet deep, and the deer antler gun and bamboo label are buried in the pit, and outside the horse pit, it is necessary to be densely covered with iron thistle pears. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Huan fell into deep thought, thinking about where there were still flaws.

Everyone was stunned at this time, even Wu Qi.

This is also the first time they have seen Zhu Huan deploy a defensive battle in the city, and he is still so meticulous.

"What are you doing in a daze, go and deploy!" Zhu Huan saw that everyone was stunned, and roared: "It must be completed before the Liaodong Army attacks the city, if anyone makes a leak, the military law will deal with it!" ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

"Chang Sen and Yan Gang stayed." Zhu Huan stopped the two.

The people in the camp all dispersed to deploy the defense of the city, leaving only Zhu Huan and Cao Xiu, who was the personal guard, and Chang Sen and Yan Gang, who were called to stay.

"The Liaodong Army is attacking the city, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Huan asked.

Chang Sen smiled: "The prince's deployment is so fine, you have said everything that should be said, what else can I think?" ”

Yan Gang nodded, acquiescing.

"You don't have ideas, this king still has." Zhu Huan said solemnly: "The Liaodong Army is coming to attack Yongping, which is a great opportunity for us. ”

"Opportunity?"

"Yes, this is a great opportunity for us to take Liaodong." Zhu Huan said: "Yang Wen attacked the city this time, he must have wanted to take Yongping by surprise, not to give Yongping Wei the opportunity to wait for reinforcements in the past, and take Yongping in one fell swoop." However, what he didn't expect was that this king led the army to incorporate Yongpingwei. This king is not worried about Yang Wen attacking the city, what he is worried about is that Yang Wen finds that there is no chance to defeat Yongpingwei, and wants to withdraw the army, and if he wants to grab his tail when the time comes, the losses of our army will be much greater. ”

Chang Sen keenly sensed what Zhu Huan meant, and said tentatively: "Lord Wang, what do you mean, don't give Liaodong a chance to withdraw troops?" ”

"Yes, since you're here, then Yang Wen doesn't plan to leave!" Zhu Huan said in a fierce voice.
