Zhu Jianji narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Yue and Li Jin with a calm face, and secretly said Good guy, the great tomorrow of the emotional Lao Tzu has been reduced to the point of being a bait.

But it works.

He asked, "What is the strength of the Mongol tribes?"

Wang Yue said, "About 300,000."

Zhu Jianji was surprised, "300,000? Can the Mongol tribes afford to raise 300,000 troops? Isn't it 300,000 if you add the people in charge of logistics?"

Wang Yue shook his head, "No, the number of troops alone is 300,000."

Zhu Jianji was silent.

The Mongol tribes are crazy!

It seems that Yu Qian's analysis is correct, this time the war between the north and the south, once the Mongolian tribes do not get benefits, they will inevitably move west this winter, because once they lose, they will not be able to survive this cold winter, and even if they survive, they don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death, and they will basically be wasted.

The population of the Mongolian tribes can afford to raise 300,000 troops, and now the population of the entire Mobei is less than 2 million, and there is no doubt that it will support an army of 300,000 to fight.

I'm afraid that the men of the entire Mongolian tribe are thrown into logistical support.

If according to Wang Yue and Li Jin's plan, if the enemy is lured deep into the total annihilation, it is not only the 300,000 Mongolian iron horsemen who will be killed, but it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolians in charge of logistics.

In that case......

The Mongol tribes have not been alive for decades, and they do not want to regain their vitality.

This is not in line with their own grand strategy.

The steam tank has been built, and when Mobei, Indochina Peninsula, Taiwan, and Korea are solved, the expansion from the land, whether it is the Rus' principality or the Western Regions, will require the Mongolian iron cavalry as the main army.

If it takes decades for the Mongol tribes to regain their vitality, then where will the cavalry come from to go on an expedition to the Rus' principality and the Western Regions and the Middle East?

After being silent for a while, Zhu Jianji shook his head and said: "Regarding the matter of using me as bait, it is indeed a good policy, and it is not possible to solve the hidden danger of Mobei to our Central Plains Dynasty once and for all, but this is not what I want, so there is no need to mention this matter. Second, they still maintain a defensive position, but their own battle losses cannot be expanded; Third, no matter how you operate and how you deploy your troops, you will cut off the route of the Mongol tribes that the Mongols are trying to move westward this year."

Everyone looked at each other.

Your Majesty's request is too difficult.

Zhu Jianji continued: "In the case of satisfying one or three, the second one can be ignored, anyway, sooner or later there will be a fight with the Mongolian tribes, this year and next year, but the third is the top priority, and it must be ensured!"

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Since you can fight, it's easy to do.

However, Yu Qian was a little worried, "If it snows, we won't be able to cut off the way for the Mongolian tribes to move west."

Zhu Jianji shook his head, "We don't retreat when it snows, we and the Mongolian tribes have spent it this year, which is why I don't let you fight, because all winter, we have to spend on the grassland, which is a huge consumption of food, grass and personnel, and now we consume too much, what should we do in winter?"

Li Jin said, "Is it so important to recover the Mongolian tribes?"

Zhu Jianji nodded, "I want to establish a political envoy department in Mobei, but it's not a few empty shells! Moreover, I also have arrangements for the Mongolian iron cavalry that surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, and I will go on an expedition to other sides together with the Mongolian iron cavalry in the Hami and Hetao regions."

The Mongol cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent.

Such a good precedent must be reproduced in its glory.

And to be honest, Zhu Jianji did not think that the soldiers of the Central Plains, who had been educated by Confucianism for many years, could exert the lethality of the Mongolian iron cavalry when they were on expeditions to the Eurasian continent.

Everybody got it.

Now that His Majesty has said this, all exhortation is meaningless.

Just do it.

Zhu Jianji got up, "The handsome tent is left to you, Yu Shaobao, you are more wasteful, and escort Wang Yue and their young generals."

I will not stay here, lest you be uncomfortable."

Everyone congratulated Zhu Jianji.

After Zhu Jianji left, Yu Qian, as the oldest person, and after Yu Qian followed Zhu Jianji to Datong, he originally hung the title of chief military officer from all walks of life, so he is now the one who makes decisions.

However, Zhu Jianji's meaning is very clear, Yu Qian only needs to give a reminder at a critical moment.

The main thing is to hand over to these young military generals.

So Yu Qian also has self-knowledge.

After some discussion, many senior generals and nobles fully asked Yu Qian's opinions, and everyone finally decided on the next strategy and tactics, and after reporting to Emperor Guang'an, they got approval.

Implement it now.

As a result, the troops on the Xuanfu and Datong fronts on the Great Wall were quickly mobilized.

At the same time, the military book with the seal of Zhu Jianji was also quickly transmitted to Hami and Hetao, and the Northeast Capital Division and the Liaodong Capital Division, which had been dragged in the steppe and confronted the iron cavalry of the Mongolian tribes.

The Ming Dynasty quickly became a northern army that quickly became operational.

All this was done in the light of Emperor Guang'an's two goals: to ensure the stability of Datong, to ensure that the route of the Mongol tribes to the west could be cut off after the snow fell, and to ensure that such a strategy would continue until the beginning of next spring.

As for how many battles will be fought for these two goals, it no longer matters.

And let the Ming generals and the soldiers below have no complaints, because everyone knows that after such a strategic and tactical attack, the Mongolian tribes will be devastated by the cold winter for a few months, and wait for next year's decisive battle, their combat power will be outrageously low, and they will surrender directly when the time comes!

It is entirely possible to surrender without a fight!

But the Mongol tribes are not stupid.

They originally wanted to create an opportunity to attack Datong, but it turned out that the Ming Dynasty continued to deploy troops, especially the Jinge Group Army, which almost never left Datong two hundred miles away, no matter how loud the Mongolian iron cavalry attacked the east and west, and how much of a threat it posed to other places, the Jinge Group Army always guarded the front line of Datong to ensure the safety of Emperor Zhu Jianji of Guang'an.

Mandulu and Manduhai quickly realized that it was possible that Da Ming had guessed his idea of wanting to attack Datong.

Then this battle can't be fought.

Therefore, after a half-month tug-of-war, the leaders of Mandulu and Manduhai, and the leaders of other tribes, found that the Ming Dynasty not only had to take the initiative to attack, but also took a detour, and there was a tendency to cut off their own retreat routes.

Everyone couldn't help it.

The leaders of the tribes gathered under the tent of Mandulu, discussed for several days and nights, and finally decided that the strong man would break his wrist and pull the tug of war first, and when the weather turned cold, while it began to snow, the army immediately withdrew from the battle line, and quickly guarded the westward movement of the tribesmen.

If you don't move west, you will be consumed by Daming so much, and next year's Mobei will be another Jiaozhi of Daming.
