Chapter 38: The Mess

Ye Shen's words made Brother Meng's heart flutter.

In the eyes of Brother Meng's Timur, this is Ye Shen inviting Brother Meng's Timur to plunder Goryeo together. This is the favorite thing of the Jurchens. In fact, the robbery of Goryeo by the Jurchens has long been marked in the cracks of history. Historically, after the establishment of the dynasty-Xian, all the Jurchens were driven away. Many Jurchen leaders such as Meng's brother Timur died at the hands of the Chaoxian.

Not without reason.

In the eyes of Meng's brother Timur, Ye Shen used soldiers like gods, like heavenly beings. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in following him, not to mention, Da Ming is supporting him in the back, there is really something wrong. In the future, he will defect to Daming, and Daming will not accept it. It can also do a lot of good for your own people.

Why not?

Brother Timur said; "Obey your lordship's orders."

Ye Shen said, "Okay." Don't worry, listen to me, this time I don't dare to say that everyone will come back alive. At least, it doesn't lose too much. ”

The cavalry was a clutch soldier, and it was not originally used to defend the city. The husband and horseman, who can be separated and combined, can scatter and gather, for a hundred miles, go thousands of miles, and go in and out of the sea, this is the use of cavalry, and he did not want to fight with the Koreans in a dignified manner.

If you want to fight them, you can catch up with them first. Therefore, the biggest benefit of these Jurchens is not their combat effectiveness, but their war horses.

Ye Shen made a decision immediately, he had been by He Xi's side, so he naturally knew He Xi's temperament, He Xi said: "If you fight by asking for instructions, you can't eat hot." So he left a few people to appease the people of Yizhou City, and left the Jurchens to guard it, with 3,000 cavalry, roaring east.

And his recital is still on the way.

------

Ye Shen's recital was reported to He Xi, and after He Xi saw it, he slammed it on the table and said, "General Ye, this is your good son." ”

After Ye Wang carefully picked it up and looked at it, he immediately knelt down and said, "The last general is not strict with his son, please punish the adult." ”

Ye Shen is young in the end and is very talented in military affairs. Ye Wang did not pull out the seedlings to help them. pressed him to transfer to the grassroots level for more than ten years, and stayed in front of He Xi for a period of time, although He Xi is not good at fighting, he is a good hand on paper. When I have time, such as on a boat, drifting across the ocean, and dying of boredom, I will tell you something about my side, and the art of war is one of them.

Ye Shen got the most. Without him, Ye Shen stayed at the grassroots level for the longest time, and he had a deep understanding of the Ming army, plus the children of the generals, and his father taught him by word and deed. The foundation itself is good, plus He Xi's strategic allocation. The most progressive.

He is also one of He Xi's favorite generals, he is very spiritual. There is also courage and determination.

But Ye Shen's problems were revealed in this battle.

Yes, Goryeo has increased its troops to the front, and it can be said that Goryeo's side has decided to attack Liao. However, they have not yet been at war with the Great Ming. Nor did the envoys come to declare war. In other words, between Ming, Goryeo and Daming, there has not been a tear in the face.

To start a fight with Goryeo, you need an order from Nanjing.

This is not a small friction of a few hundred people.

Well, after all, Goryeo was specified by Zhu Yuanzhang to be destroyed. He Xi is here to have this task. Therefore, this matter is easy to solve, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is not embarrassed, and it is easy to pass. However, the reason why He Xi didn't give him more troops was because Daming had no soldiers?

No, there are no soldiers in Liaodong.

These are two concepts.

More than 100,000 troops have just crossed back to Beiping from Liaodong. Among these large armies, many of them are purely marching this time, and they haven't caught a single battle, so they don't know how to be depressed. If He Xi opened his mouth, Feng Sheng would call the shots and call a few branches, wouldn't he have troops.

Why didn't He Xi do it?

It was because He Xi had already recognized the differences between him and Feng Sheng, and He Xi wanted to fight Goryeo first, the Jurchen side. But Feng Sheng, he doesn't want to, who can't guess what he thinks? The word "Yuan Ting" is written on the brains of many veterans.

He Xi was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, Feng Sheng would intervene in the Goryeo war, and at that time, Feng Sheng would have the right to speak in the Goryeo war. Many of He Xi's plans have become a dead letter. After all, in terms of military affairs, He Xi is far from being comparable to Feng Sheng.

Unless He Xi asks Zhu Yuanzhang to go down in person. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to turn the tables.

Therefore, He Xi wanted to grit his teeth and survive this period of time.

But it was definitely not this method, Ye Shen didn't think of any other way, such as sending envoys and bluffing, so that the Goryeo people themselves hesitated. After all, now that Naha is gone, it is too late for the Goryeo people to send troops again, and he must have some hesitation within him.

It's just that Ye Shen used this method to make Da Ming morally passive and He Xi politically passive, which increased the risk.

In terms of fighting, He Xi didn't trust Ye Shen much.

Ye Shen is young in the end, and he has no brilliant records before, let alone a famous general in history. Ye Shen's plan is good, with a few thousand people to delay the army of hundreds of thousands. Well done, naturally there is nothing to say. But what if you don't do it well?

Not to mention the two sides of the Yalu River, even east of Shenyang, there are not many people left.

His own defeat was small, which made the situation in Liaodong unbearable all of a sudden.

He Xi took a few deep breaths and said; "General Ye, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you. Ye Shen, I can also trust it. I believe that there must be a reason for this matter. You don't have to worry about things here. Do your job. Now the river has been repaired to the most difficult place. Once repaired. There are not so many soldiers and horses here, you can support Ye Shen. Do it well. Don't live up to Ye Shen's intentions. ”

Where is it so easy to be the boss of people?

A lot of the time, it's just to clean up the mess for his subordinates.

Especially Ye Shen, this person makes He Xi love and hate, and love him for daring to fight. Although it is said that the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty are like clouds, the brave and combative young generals are also the volume of the vehicle. Ye Shen is just one of them, but the problem is that the other generals all have their own factions, such as Ping'an, who is now listening to the use of He Xi's tent, is good at martial arts, and has the ability to gallop horses. But he was Feng Sheng's stay. Who is behind this peace? It goes without saying.

This era is the most powerful era of the Ming Dynasty, and the good seedlings in the army are all mastered.

Ye Shen also grew up in his own field.

How could He Xi not be favoritial.

If Ye Shen loses this battle, then needless to say, it is because he is not angry, if Ye Shen wins this battle. With this record, He Xi was willing to add a heavier burden to Ye Shen. After all, you can rest assured that you can cultivate your own people.

He Xi is angry and angry, this mess should be cleaned up, and it must be cleaned up.

First of all, he couldn't put all his hopes on Ye Shen alone, he first ordered Lushunkou to let the sailors there go to the Yalu River to inspect, and when the sailors came, they would also intercept and replenish them in the Yalu River.

As the first line of defense.

Secondly, it is to withdraw the Dingliao Guards from the army and let them go home, that is, the Dingliao Guard, the Phoenix City of Liaodong in the future. As the second line of defense, it is also the second line of defense in the east of Shenyang.

Finally, and what He Xi was most unwilling to do, he wrote a letter to Beiping and asked Feng Sheng to transfer troops.

However, He Xi made the last struggle, and especially told the messenger to meet Lan Yu first when he arrived in Beiping City. Then listen to Lan Yu's orders.

As for what kind of things Lan Yu will do.

He Xi couldn't guess, at least one thing, he knew. Lan Yu seems to be domineering, but in some things, it is still very measured. Don't worry about anything out of the ordinary.

There is nothing left of the rest.

Everything that can be done has been done. He could only focus on the present.

That is, this one is more than 200 miles wide, more than one zhang deep, and more than three zhang wide. Liaosong Canal. At this moment, the Liaosong Canal is progressing smoothly, and it can even be said that it is fast. We have reached the most difficult place of the project, that is, the watershed.

A hill, not even a hill, is now a gentle slope.

This is a depression between two hills. It is also the lowest place on the watershed, but there is also a height difference of more than ten meters. If you want to dig up, it's not impossible. It's just that the amount of work is huge. And to make a lock, there are many technical problems. The most important of these is the issue of water diversion. The locks can't be turned over the mountains out of thin air. There must also be water.

It is also very troublesome to build a small reservoir here.

He Xi decided to adopt a new technology, which is blasting.
