"The prince wants to send troops to Texas in advance?"

Rushing back from all over the place, the generals gathered in the main hall of Yanwang's Mansion were all a little surprised and dignified when they heard Zhu Di say his next plan succinctly.

Zhu Di's strategic vision... There is no doubt that several battles from the beginning of Jingnan to the present have fully illustrated this point, especially when the prince quietly let Mr. Gu go to the grassland, Datong actually fell into the hands of the Yan army so easily, such a plan... It really makes the generals happy and convinced.

Therefore, when Zhu Di said that he wanted to send troops to Texas in advance, instead of waiting for Li Jinglong to attack in Bei'an, none of the more than ten generals present objected, but looked at the sand table on the table and thought about the next trend of the war that would break out at any time.

Seeing that the generals were united, and there was no greed for life and fear of death and stealing peace, Zhu Di was very satisfied, he pointed to a location on the map: "Li Jinglong built the Twelve Acropolis, and mobilized a large number of materials, whether it is the grain stored in the three provinces of Hejian, even the stored taxes are almost emptied, so they are stored at the dock here, and when the Twelve Acropolis are completed, they will be distributed and placed everywhere, and then the Twelve Acropolis will really become a king and eight shells, and it will be uncomfortable to fight, so I have to be one step ahead of Li Jiujiang, this step must be fast!" ”

Zhu Di said confidently: "If you send troops to Texas and can't go down overnight, our army will be short of military rations!" I have already sent someone to find out the officers and soldiers stationed here and the defense situation, if I can occupy this place by Li Jiujiang's surprise... The odds are doubled, and that's one of them! ”

The words made the eyes of the generals shine, they couldn't have imagined that the prince actually even had this kind of information, if this information was true, then the biggest problem that plagued the Yan army going south would be solved!

No wonder the prince is so confident!

Silently thanking Gu Huai in Texas in his heart, Zhu Di continued: "This is the second... Naturally, it is because of Li Jiujiang, you also know that after the First World War in Beiping, Li Jiujiang was not held accountable, but continued to sit firmly in the position of coach, the reason... I naturally know it, but I'm really worried now, if the news from Datong comes to the imperial court, what if the imperial court changes generals? Where can I find a general like Li Jiujiang? ”

There was laughter in the main hall, and there might be something else to discuss, but this... The crowd was genuinely agreeing.

As a general, he has done this job, which is really unprecedented and unprecedented, and I don't know if Li Wenzhong, who is underground, will be angry when he learns about this.

"Third, and most importantly," the smile on Zhu Di's face narrowed slightly, and he looked at the sand table, "This time Li Jiujiang's troops are indeed more than last time, 600,000... When I think of this number, I can't help but be a little worried, if he really waits for him to finish his preparations, will he have to repeat the old things of Beiping's attack and defense again? I really don't want to be forced to that point, so this time, I must fight Li Jiujiang outside the northern border! ”

Outside the words, the determination to send troops to Texas was fully revealed, and the generals were in high spirits and praised one after another.

The words have come to this point, and there is no room for the generals to object... What's more, the generals have no intention of opposition, the so-called confidence is slowly built up in this way, the battle of Zhending, the attack of Daning, the attack and defense of Beiping, and the tug of war in Datong... After one war after another, they already know how to win, if they don't fight now, when will they wait? As long as you follow the prince, you don't have to fear any enemy!

Zhu Di smiled when he saw this, and easily arranged a military task for the generals, this time he went south, naturally he was going to pour out of the nest, so the strength should reach about 200,000, these 200,000 are almost all his family resources, and the army left in Beiping is only enough to keep an eye on the border pass and Daning, if this battle is lost... There is no need for Li Jinglong to call Beiping, Zhu Di can find a place to wipe his neck.

For Zhu Di, the nature of this war is like this, and winning is no longer just about fighting for the throne, but about survival.

The placement of the generals, before they arrived, Zhu Di already had a draft, the sun was slanting in the west, confirming that the generals knew their responsibilities and positions, Zhu Di waved his hand to let them retreat, and the silence in the main hall lasted for a long time before he looked at the spy report sent by the secret spy department in his hand.

Li Jinglong has three helpers this time.

No longer the confidence and composure just now, a trace of fear flashed on Zhu Di's face, he looked at those names, how much he hoped that those names did not exist on them, but it turned out that this time he Zhu Di was facing a rather difficult lineup.

Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, Governor Ping'an, and...

He gritted his teeth: "Wei Guogong, Xu Huizu!" ”

Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, an old minister of the former dynasty, has rich combat experience, and the construction of the Twelve Acropolis was proposed by him, and this is also the most critical factor that prompted Zhu Di to take the initiative to go south, because he didn't dare to imagine that when Li Jinglong's 600,000 army had a retreat and a safe haven, what should he do to fight him and consume him?

And Xu Huizu needless to say, Qi Tai's admiration for him in the court at the beginning was indeed not half a lie, his fighting skills were not much worse than Zhu Di, and Zhu Yunwen was persuaded for a long time, and finally made a will a year ago, so that Xu Huizu would come to assist Li Jinglong to quell the rebellion.

Thankfully, it helped! If Xu Huizu is the coach, then there is no need to fight this battle!

The question is, who is this peace?

Ping'an, the name is simple, but the resume is not simple, the combat courage and proficiency in the art of war are secondary, and the most important thing is that he has fought with Zhu Di for many years and was Zhu Di's confidant general.

He knows Zhu Di, just as Zhu Di understands Li Jinglong, it is really difficult to fight against such a person who knows his details.

Although things have come to this point, no matter who the opponent is, they must fight and fight to the end, but in the face of this name, Zhu Di is a little bottomless in his heart after all.

In any case, this war will not be the same as before, because with such a straw bag as Li Jinglong, an army of 500,000 can be defeated, and this time Zhu Di is facing an army of 600,000 that has really been assembled!

He straightened up, clenched the spy report, and muttered, "Can't wait any longer..."

……

As soon as the first month passed, the people began to get busy, the plan of the year lies in the spring, although it is not yet spring, but the people have always felt that they are busy to be at ease, but for Lao Jia, in the hopeful season of previous years, he can only nest at home every day to worry about his fat wife and three daughters who are as fat as pigs.

There is no way, the weather is anxious and scolded the surname Gu in person, and when he returned home, he found a goddess and pricked the straw man and began to poke and poke, and waited until the straw man was poked, and then he came back to his taste, and now the seasoning can't be learned secretly, the dream of opening a restaurant is far away, and the surname Gu is not his food and clothing parents? If you offend him, where will you earn money to support your family in the future?

As soon as he thought of this, Lao Jia began to panic, hesitated for a few days, and couldn't stand his mother-in-law chattering next to his ears every day, so he ran to the restaurant with a shy face and wanted to admit his mistake and say something small, but at that time, Gu Huai got the exact news, and was busy arranging for the secret spy to get out of Texas, where was the leisure to take care of him? casually let Wang Wu drive him out, Lao Jia's old face was clean, and when he returned home, he picked up the big needle on the sole of his mother-in-law's shoes and began to poke and poke again...

It was until the beginning of February, Lao Jia's mother-in-law was worried about her sister, Lao Jia asked someone to go to the restaurant to inquire, but was surprised to find that the shopkeeper had actually changed, and the guys in the restaurant had also changed a batch. If you fool around with these pig food, you will have to demolish the restaurant.

I heard that the new shopkeeper of the restaurant was worried about the dishes, he brought the seasoning that he secretly took out before and went to the door, and the whole house applauded, plus he was originally working in the restaurant, and after saying it with a frown, the new shopkeeper actually kept him, and Lao Jia was overjoyed, even if the job was saved.

But after the big joy, it turned to melancholy, after all, the surname Gu left, and his young sister-in-law was gone...

As for what to do after there is no seasoning? If he cares about it, he can live one day at a time, and when the time comes, he will find a way to squeeze out another cook, and the new shopkeeper will dare to drive him away? His restaurant is not open?

Lao Jia snorted twice and shook the pot in his hand...

……

With the arrival of the last batch of reinforcements from Chengdu Prefecture to the Dezhou camp, the 600,000-strong army has been almost assembled.

This number is extremely terrifying just to hear it, 600,000 people, now crowded in the small Texas border, although these 600,000 miles still have civilian miscellaneous labor, as well as the local government soldiers who have been absent from the battle array for a long time, but they can really fight, and the soldiers who have experienced the war will not be less than 300,000, if you add the troops who went north to attack Beiping before, it is really all the family of the imperial court, in addition to the border army that cannot be used, there are also the soldiers of the coastal provinces that are far away from here, Zhu Yunwen really bet all his net worth on Li Jinglong.

The most ironic thing is that this gambling table is on his own, but it is the two people who keep saying that they are good for him who bet so him.

Today's Texas camp is almost full of people, rubbing shoulders, soldiers in various local dialects are either training, going to various construction sites to build walls or scolding colleagues, but there is a lot of chaos, Xu Huizu, who walked into the camp with two personal soldiers, frowned and sighed silently.

After all, it was a little late.

Lifting the curtain, he walked into the Chinese army tent in the Texas camp, although his status was transcendent, he still honestly saluted the commander Li Jinglong, stood aside and listened to the discussion, but there were many generals from the Zhongshan Palace, he didn't see it, and he didn't put forward any opinions on Li Jinglong's resolution, as if he came here, he really just looked at it and helped from the side.

The deliberations are going very slowly, there are too many affairs in the big battalion, 600,000 people eating, drinking, and Lazar are all things that make people anxious, and most of the generals are unreadable people, and they can be scolded if they disagree, Li Jinglong has no opinion at all, let the generals gossip, but they can't set the tone with a word, and Xu Huizu is extremely helpless, but just when he thought that this chaos would continue, the curtain of the military tent was lifted again.

An envoy in the army carrying a triangular red flag broke in, knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said urgently: "Report!" Beiping Yan rebelled, personally led an army of 200,000, mighty, and went straight to Texas! ”

All the generals were stunned, and then their faces changed greatly, and they all looked at Li Jinglong, who was at a loss.

Only Xu Huizu's eyes lit up and looked out of the tent.

Finally... Have you started?
