If Hai Lanzhu has an idea now, it is also to use Nuke. After all, Nuke was invited by the Ming Court, and he should be able to speak.

This is also her conjecture, as for the fact that the Zalut Department and the Horqin Department are hostile relations, but after all, because of the relationship between the Houjin, they are all Mongols, and they don't have to be killed, right?

The so-called rush to the doctor is like Hai Lanzhu. There is a lot of vigor on the grassland, and I just think about going to my parents and relatives, even if I die together.

Maybe not die, but try to find a way. Calm down, it's different from what you originally thought.

"The emperor of the Ming Kingdom won't kill all the leaders of the Horqin tribe, right?" Bumu Butai comforted her sister, but even she didn't believe her conjecture, "It's okay to surrender, the Horqin Department has never fought the Ming Dynasty, and the alliance with Houjin is also forced to be helpless, which is understandable." ”

Darhan scratched his head and smiled ugly. Not to mention the country-to-country, even between the Mongolian tribes, where can it be said that there are extenuating circumstances? Whoever is strong has the final say, and whoever is powerful is justified.

Hai Lanzhu smiled comfortingly at her sister and gave her a piece of meat, but her heart was bitter, sad, and helpless.

Darhan sighed secretly and said, "After eating, let's go for a walk in the capital and see the palace!" ”

"If you see the palace, you might be able to see the people in the palace." Bumu Butai's eyes lit up, "Let him bring a message to the emperor, can it be done?" ”

Hai Lanzhu pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart: If you can bring a message to the emperor casually, then what has become of the palace, even your own mansion is not as good!

But it's good to have that little hope, anyway, there is no way to stay in the inn, and it's good to try your luck.

Darhan hurriedly reminded: "Don't dare to act recklessly, the soldiers and guards outside the palace are fierce, and they have been beheaded, and the emperor doesn't know about it." ”

When Hai Lanzhu heard this, she was even more determined. Anyway, when I came, I already had a dead heart, what are you afraid of? Thinking of this, she gulped down her meal.

…………………….

In the palace, Zhu Youxiao didn't know that there were two girls who wanted to break into the palace gate. He was sitting majestically in the imperial chair, looking at the palace gate, waiting for the audience of the Liu Xingzuo brothers.

Although the "Great Song Dynasty Li Xianzhong" was used as an encouragement, and although it was decided to reuse Liu Xingzuo, the majesty of the emperor still had to be displayed, so that he could be in awe, so that he could be more loyal, and so that he could work harder in the future.

"The criminal minister Liu Xingzuo (Liu Xingren) knocked on my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Liu Xingzuo was introduced to the palace by officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he already felt the strength and majesty of imperial power.

The tall palace walls, the glorious palaces, and the solemn guards of the forbidden army create a royal prestige, and the shock is heartfelt and spontaneous.

Waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, the Liu Xingzuo brothers didn't even dare to raise their heads. Inside the palace is the Ninety-Five Supreme, the emperor who rules over hundreds of millions of people, and the supreme commander of millions of Ming troops.

"Xuan Liu Xingzuo enters the palace!" It didn't take long, but the Liu Xingzuo brothers seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they didn't know whether it was hot or nervous, and their backs were already sweating.

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren had heavy footsteps, and as soon as they entered the main hall, they only vaguely saw the bright yellow figure on the throne, so they knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Zhu Youxiao pursed the corners of his mouth, deliberately paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Qing, flat body." ”

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren bowed to thank him again, and then slowly got up, bowed and stood, their heads hanging very low.

"Look up, I don't blame." The Emperor's voice rang out again.

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren hesitated for a moment before slowly raising their heads, just looking at the emperor, then lowered their eyes again, not daring to look directly.

They understood it correctly, and it was not that they were really staring at the emperor, but that the emperor wanted to see what they looked like.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the two of them, and after a while, he spoke again, his tone softened a lot, "After the death of the two Qing families, they tried every means to escape and return, and they had the style of Song Li Xianzhong. Fuzhou is the most meritorious and commendable anyway. ”

Liu Xingzuo hurriedly bowed down and said: "The criminal minister helps the slave to attack the Ming, and ten thousand deaths cannot atone for the crime." Long live without blame, it is already the emperor's grace, how dare the criminal be rewarded? ”

"Qing has the heart of righteousness, and is not afraid of dangers and obstacles, put it into action, the past sins have been forgiven, and the two of you should not dwell on the past." Zhu Youxiao said: "From now on, as long as you serve the country wholeheartedly and make meritorious contributions, the world will only know the Ming generals Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren, who fought for the country, how can they only remember the past? ”

"Long live the magnanimity and forgiveness, and the criminal dares to be loyal to the death, in order to repay Long Live and repay China." Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand to let the palace people hold a large wooden plate, which contained the imperial sword and two sets of armor.

"Long live Long En of Wechen Xie, long live, long live, long live, long live!" The Liu brothers took it with both hands and thanked them again.

Zhu Youxiao stood up, stepped down from the throne, came to the sand table at the corner of the hall, stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Liu Qing came close and told me about the geography of the mountains and rivers in Liaodong, as well as the virtual and real situation of Jiannu. ”

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren handed over the wooden plate to the palace people, stepped forward respectfully, looked at the sand table carefully, distinguished the geography of mountains and rivers, and began to tell.

Although the sand table was made more and more with the help of the officials of the Ministry of War and the officers of Liaodong, it became more and more refined, so fine that the Liu Xingzuo brothers were surprised and admired.

However, Zhu Youxiao formulated an action plan for the sand table, and although he had a foresight of history, he was inevitably suspected of talking on paper.

As far as next year's winter and spring offensive is concerned, Zhu Youxiao has not yet been finalized. The Ming army in the towns of Liaodong only guessed, and did not know the specific plan of the imperial court.

The reason why it was not finalized was that Zhu Youxiao learned the lesson of Sarhu's division of troops.

At present, the total strength of the Ming army in Liaodong, except for Liaozhen, which is the strongest and can compete with the main force of Jiannu, the strength of Liaonan and Dongjiang headquarters is difficult to resist the concentrated attack of Jiannu.

If Jiannu did not engage in a frontal confrontation with the Ming army in western Liaoning, but took the initiative to abandon Liaoshen and attack the headquarters of the Dongjiang River or the Ming army in southern Liaoning, at least in terms of strength, it would have a clear advantage in terms of strength.

There are three associations in the Dongjiang headquarters, with a strength of 24,500, and with the expanded cavalry, the whole army will not be dispatched more than 30,000;

Southern Liaoning is the two associations of the Dongjiang River and the three associations of Dengzhen. In addition to the soldiers and horses defending the recovered land, the mobile force is counted as four associations, which is more reliable.

Similarly, the four associations are 32,300 men and horses, and they do not have the advantage of crushing the entire army of Jiannu.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao thought about it repeatedly, and felt that the three parties moved together to force Jiannu to divide his troops to resist, so as to fall into a comprehensive passivity, and some took it for granted.

Of course, if Jiannu wants to defeat the Ming army in southern Liaoning or the headquarters of the Dongjiang River, he will also have to pay a great price.

Now is no longer the time for the Great Battle of Sarhu, and the Ming army is not a unit that has been cobbled together from Liao, Sichuan, Gansu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, lacking food and salary, low morale, and has not yet been run-in.

With the weapons and equipment of the current Ming army and the will to fight, if you want to defeat the Ming army in southern Liaoning or the headquarters of the Dongjiang River, Jiannu will almost have to break two teeth.

Despite this, Zhu Youxiao still tried his best to win the absolute victory of Pingliao.

"Jianzhou is something that Jiannu must defend and won't give up?" Listening to the Liu brothers' complementary narrations, the emperor found a moment and asked.

Attacking the enemy's must-defend territory forced Jiannu to divide his troops, thereby weakening the forces he could muster, the emperor still insisted on this line of thought.

Liu Xingzuo thought for a while and replied cautiously: "Jianzhou is a place where old slaves are in trouble, and its significance is extraordinary. Weichen thought that Jiannu would not give up easily. ”

"What about Liao Shen?" The emperor continued to ask, "Which is more important than Liaoshen or Jianzhou?" ”

Liu Xingzuo's face was embarrassed, and it was really difficult to answer this question.

For example, a former residence is handed down from ancestors and is of great significance; One is the new house, which is big and spacious, and comfortable to live in.

Liu Xingren blinked his eyes, bowed down and said: "Long live Hui, Weichen thinks that Liao Shen is more important than Jianzhou." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly and didn't speak, but his eyes showed encouragement.

Liu Xingren sorted out his thoughts again and said: "Although the old slave is in Jianzhou Hetuala, that is, the Khan position, the country is named. However, after moving the capital to Liaoyang, his relatives have all moved away. Wechen heard that Hetuara was in ruins......"

Accustomed to eating big fish and meat, who will nibble on wotou pickles? Accustomed to living in a high-rise house, who wants to go to the old house to reminisce about the bittersweet feelings?

The words are not rough, Zhu Youxiao thinks that this is what Liu Xingren said.

Moreover, if you return to Jianzhou, it means that Houjin is already poor day by day, and you can only survive. Don't think that the Jurchens are monolithic, and they won't be staged when the catastrophe comes.

Therefore, once Liaoshen is not guaranteed, it will not only be a serious political and military defeat, but also a heavy blow to the people's hearts.

If it is possible, Jiannu will naturally have to be both the old capital and the new capital. But when it comes to making a choice, Liaoshen is obviously more important than Jianzhou.

Zhu Youxiao was more sure of his new plan, and asked the Liu brothers about the reality of Jiannu, the mountains and rivers of Liaodong, and he was more confident in his heart.

Returning to the throne, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile from Hexi: "The arrangement of the imperial court, the Ministry of War has already told you, right?" ”

"Long live Hui, Weichen already knows." Liu Xingzuo bowed down and played: "Go to martial arts to study first, and then arrange to serve in the army." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Entering martial arts is the only way for officers, you must study hard and not be negligent. Next year, there will be a big battle in Liaodong, and whether you can lead the troops to battle also depends on your performance in martial arts. ”

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I intend to hand over the most elite and strongest army of my Ming Dynasty to you, but it also depends on whether you have the ability to do so, and whether you can reassure me." ”

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren hurriedly bowed down and said that they would never live up to their expectations, and they would definitely be diligent and diligent in martial arts.

Zhu Youxiao seemed relieved and satisfied, and gave a few words of encouragement before ordering the two to retire.

When the two of them left the palace, the emperor thought for a while, got up and came to the sand table, touched his chin and studied.

Since Jianzhou is in second place, Jiannu is unlikely to use the main force to protect it; Since Liaoshen was the most priority defense of Jiannu, in the face of Liaozhen's heavy military containment, it was necessary to stay with a considerable number of troops.

With such a judgment, let the people and horses of the Dongjiang headquarters go north along the Yalu River and penetrate Tonghua, so that they can directly attack Jianzhou.

How many men can Jiannu use to defend? Judging from the current intelligence, it is only two flags. Even if reinforcements are drawn from Liaoshen, at most it will be two flags.

You can reinforce me, can't I move troops? Taking advantage of the speed and convenience of transporting troops by sea and transferring two or three troops from southern Liaoning to participate in the war, we can still form a superiority in troops in local battlefields.

If a stalemate can be formed in Jianzhou, Liaozhen will be launched again, and there will be a response of the Ming army in southern Liaoning, and Liaoshen Jiannu will be able to form a crushing trend.

That's good, the first launch, see how Jiannu copes, and then make a move.

It seems that it is better to give Jiannu a choice than to force them to have only one way to go.

Moreover, the fall of the Korqin tribe made Jiannu lose the buffer with the Mongol tribes. After this shock, the five Inner Khalkha Ministries should be more resolute in their pro-Ming stance.

If the five Inner Khalkha divisions were supplemented by part of the Ming army, they would enter the Jiannu occupation area from the Liaohetao and attack Kaiyuan and Tieling...... Tieling is a big city in the future!

The Quartet is launched in the first place, in all directions, in the southeast and northwest, to see how Jiannu copes?

The emperor narrowed his eyes, imagining the embarrassment of the old slave constantly receiving reports of the enemy situation and scrambling to deal with it, revealing a sinister sneer.

The plan for a major counteroffensive is next winter and spring, but now it is impossible to stop Jiannu. Let the enemy move, and only by moving can more flaws be revealed.

The emperor's eyes fell on Gaizhou, and the prelude to the counteroffensive began here!

…………………….

Walking far away from the Forbidden City, seeing his entourage leading the horse over, Liu Xingzuo breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a light pressure on his body.

Almost like him, Liu Xingren also exhaled with a long breath, and his body relaxed all of a sudden.

The brothers looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Long live the big heart." Liu Xingzuo held the reward in his hand, and arched his hand sideways towards the palace, "Regardless of my previous crimes, we still have to investigate and reuse, you and my brother don't disappoint Banzai." ”

Liu Xingren nodded and said, "Long live if it weren't for the wisdom and martial arts, how could it overturn the situation in Liaodong and crush Jiannu to the point of suffocating?" Lord Yuan, Lord Xiong, and Mao Shuai are all capable generals. Just knowing people and being good at their duties, long live can be called a wise king for thousands of years. ”

Although there is an element of flattery and a lot of flattery, it is also true. The golden finger of the traverser is to know the general trend of history and the truth and falsehood of many historical figures.

Teacher Yuan is extremely powerful, which makes Houjin hate him to the bone, and also overwhelms Houjin; In addition to his bad mouth, Lao Xiong is also a real person; Mao Wenlong used it well, and he didn't have the opportunity to be arrogant.

As for the strongest opponent known as Nurhachi, Yuan Dazhui, who could only defend the city as a great victory, but Zhu Youxiao didn't even give him a chance.

Brother Liu Xingzuo got on his horse and walked, not galloping, talking as he walked.

In the feudal dynasty, being able to get the emperor's reception and encouragement will definitely make people's blood rush and excitement.

And the emperor's proximity to the heavens, even if he crisscrossed the battlefield and killed the uncalculated fierce generals, he would also bow to the ground and tremble.

Zhu Youxiao also slowly understood the thinking and habits of the ancient people, and became more and more proficient in using these to control the courtiers and consolidate the loyalty of the military generals
