In the Marshal's Mansion, Lan Yu was led in with trepidation.

A few months ago, he was just a homeless man who fled with his sister, and he was lucky enough to be conscripted into the army and became a soldier in the Hangzhou army.

But even so, in Lan Yu's opinion, he is just a small big soldier, and he really doesn't understand why he summons himself to be regarded as a big man by the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou?

Shuaifu, back garden, Song Xuan in a white robe, standing on the surface of an artificial lake, the lake water is past his ankles, but he can no longer sink a bit.

"Dashuai, Lan Yu has arrived!"

A Tsing Yi guard stood by the lake, clasping his fists and saluting.

"Well, stand down!"

Song Xuan's head commanded, and then he turned his head to look at the blue jade who was standing in place with some nowhere to put his hands and feet.

Today's Lan Yu, that is, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, is not the god of war who killed the Tartar crying father and calling his mother in later generations, and he looks a little green.

"I have seen your assessment, and you are extremely excellent in all aspects, if you have experienced, you should be a general!"

Lan Yu looked at Song Xuan who was stepping on the water in a daze, and his mind was a little confused.

'This young man is handsome?' ’

How did he step on the water and not sink?' ’

It is said that the handsome man is the stars in the sky and descends to earth, which is actually true! ’

Seeing that Lan Yu was still a little stunned, Song Xuan smiled, stepped on the water, jumped up, and landed on the ground.

"Big, handsome!"

At this moment, Lan Yu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, knelt on one knee, and hurriedly saluted.

"Get up! I called you over today, it's nothing, the main thing is to meet you, the future general! ”

As he spoke, he patted Lan Yu on the shoulder and said, "Do you dare to go to the battlefield?" ”

Lan Yu grinned, "What's not to dare to do?" ”

"Okay! I see, stand down! ”

"Yes!"

Lan Yu left the Shuai Mansion under the guidance of Tsing Yi Wei in a daze, and until he returned to the barracks, he didn't understand, what was the reason why the big marshal saw him today?

Not long after returning to the barracks, he received a military order from the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

He's promoted!

became a glorious commander who was the envy of countless colleagues!

.......

In mid-October, in the Shuaifu, Song Xuan held a meeting again.

On the main seat, Song Xuan looked at the sixth leader of the Tsing Yi Guard, and said, "On the side of the Ming army, you can tell everyone about it!" ”

Lao Liu hurriedly got up and said: "The Ming army is like a bamboo, in the north, Liankeshu Province, and now it has entered the border of Henan. ”

"The Yuan army was caught off guard at the beginning, but now it has eased up and requisitioned the Ninth Route Army, which is said to have more than 600,000 horses and more than 200,000 cavalry, and has reached the Henan defense line.

If there are no accidents, before the cold winter comes, the decisive battle between the two armies will begin! ”

Song Xuan looked at everyone and said, "Let's all share your opinions, which side do you think can win?" ”

As he spoke, he first looked at Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang said: "Lord, I don't know much about military affairs, so I can only talk about my own views from other aspects.

Although the Yuan court was decaying, it was now orthodox, and it could easily mobilize the resources of several provinces for logistics.

The Ming army, although it is huge, but its foundation is too weak, and in my opinion, fighting a war is actually a logistical support.

Unless the Ming army can defeat the Yuan army at the beginning of the battle, the time will drag on for a long time, and the Ming army will be defeated! ”

Song Xuan nodded noncommittally, and looked at Liu Bowen again, "What does Mr. Liu think?" ”

Liu Bowen's voice was calm, and he said with a smile: "Actually, the lord already has an opinion in his heart, doesn't he?" ”

"As Mr. Li said, before there is no absolute superiority, the war is about logistics, money and food! And these are the disadvantages of the Ming army.

To be honest, the speed at which they are advancing is too fast, and if they can stabilize for a year or two and manage the occupied territory well, it is really difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

But now, I'm not optimistic about the Ming army!

I have also been a Yuan official before, and although the Yuan Court is very corrupt, it is undeniable that their military ability is still the top in the world.

Especially in Henan, the border of Pingchuan is suitable for the cavalry army, I really don't know, how should the Ming army win in the battle on the plain border? ”

Song Xuan looked around at everyone in the hall, but saw that most of them nodded in agreement with Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang's opinion.

"Since you are not optimistic that the Ming army can win, then next, let's discuss, next, what should we do?"

In the hall, there was silence at first.

The first to speak was Yu Lianzhou of the Wudang faction.

"Qingshu, can you send someone to support Wuji?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shanchang, who was still waiting for others to speak first, suddenly turned tense and said hurriedly: "Although our army has some strength, the kind of battle at the level of a million-strong army is not something we can interfere in now!"

Yu Daxia, although you are a martial arts master, but military affairs are not child's play, how can you be emotional?

To support the Ming army? How much is appropriate?

Although there are 200,000 troops in our army, they are all new troops who have been trained for less than three months, and if they go less, they will not help at all, and they will only cost the lives of the soldiers in vain.

And if we go too much, our foundation will be unstable, and it will be easy for other so-called rebels to end up in the nest! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bowen also got up and spoke, "Everyone, the momentum of our development is very good, but we must also understand that there are actually many dangers around us.

Not to mention anything else, in the past half a year, we have relied on the two cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and in the name of suppressing bandits, we have controlled the state cities and county towns between the two cities, which seems to be calm, but in fact, we have long been targeted by others!

Since Mingjiao raised troops in the north, in the border south of the Yangtze River, the rebels from all walks of life also raised troops under the banner of Mingjiao, capturing cities and grabbing resources and territory.

To the west of us, on the border of Jiangxi, Xu Shouhui, the leader of the rebel army, raised an army of 300,000 people in just a few months. Chen Youliang, the general under his command, was born in the beggar gang, with the support of the beggar gang masters, led the army to fight with the Yuan army, won consecutive battles, and almost took the entire Jiangxi!

To the north of us, on the border of Anhui, the two rebel armies of Liu Futong and Guo Zixing, who are under the banner of Mingjiao, are also in the general trend, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

In addition, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan and other places are also dozens of large and small rebel armies! ”

"Everyone!"

Liu Bowen's face was grim, and he said: "In addition to the east by the sea, our north, west and even south have been fenced off!"

Yu Daxia is still thinking about sending troops to save people, but to put it mildly, even if we have that heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the army to get out!

Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are rich lands, surrounded by wolves, who doesn't want to take a bite?

At this stage, everyone is busy consolidating the foundation, and there is no conflict for the time being. But believe it or not, as soon as we show a trace of weakness, the rebels around us will swarm and devour us and divide it up! ”
