Chapter 143: One Man Prosperous

He Xi has not yet come to the palace. Zhu Xiongying already knows the situation outside.

During the period when He Xi left Beijing, Zhu Xiongying was not idle. Of course, he did not dismantle Yang Shiqi, and even gave Yang Shiqi a platform. But that doesn't mean that Zhu Xiongying doesn't have other ideas.

It can only be said that Zhu Xiongying has learned how to be an emperor.

In this era, the status of monarchs and ministers is the emperor's greatest reliance in the power struggle. Yang Shiqi is He Xi's person and He Xi's disciple, but no matter what, he is the courtier of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch's father. He naturally had to obey the emperor.

Zhu Xiongying also has the intention of digging the corner of He Xi's wall. Of course, don't be in a hurry. Take your time.

On top of that, it's the control of Beijing.

Zhu Xiongying must control all aspects of Beijing's three religions and nine streams.

In other places, Zhu Xiongying can be left alone, such as Hebei, Liaodong, Japan and other places. But the city of Beijing. Zhu Xiongying must be managed, not only because Beijing is the industrial center of the future, but also because Beijing is the Beijing division. If Zhu Xiongying can't control Beijing. It means that his own life cannot be saved.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying has worked hard to infiltrate all aspects of Beijing during this period of time.

Only then did we know in time the impact of He Xi's arrival on the whole of Beijing.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but sigh and said: "One person is prosperous, today I can be regarded as insightful." ”

Originally, with Zhu Xiongying's full wings. Zhu Xiongying is not without other ideas. Seize power from He Xi. However, the defeat of Anlingbao was a major blow to Zhu Xiongying.

After the defeat of Anlingbao came, Zhu Xiongying actually thought of many ways to save the situation. But he didn't know what to do, and he was worried that he was getting more and more wrong. So I don't dare to make major adjustments easily. He wanted to reassure people. But what he did did not affect the panic of the people outside, and almost affected the normal order.

It was useless for him, the emperor, to do anything, but as soon as He Xi arrived, there was an immediate reaction from top to bottom in Beijing.

Zhu Xiongying also understood what He Xi's status was in the hearts of Beijingers.

also restrained his careful thinking.

Because, this world has to be at a time.

Zhu Xiongying tidied up his clothes and greeted He Xi at the gate of the palace.

Seeing He Xi coming from afar, he took a few steps to greet him and said, "Uncle." ”

He Xi immediately saluted and said, "The minister does not dare to be Your Majesty's gift." ”

After the two sat down, Zhu Xiongying said: "Now Fu Youde is aggressive, and Geng Bingwen is besieging Zhending. Please also ask my uncle to teach me. ”

He Xi said: "I have seen the real situation. Sure enough, those who defend well will attack well. Geng Bingwen is a character. However, now there is a person in Geng Bingwen's army. Geng Bingwen is not worried. ”

The hole between Zhending and Taiyuan is Jingcheng.

It is one of the eight Taihang Mountains.

He Xi built a fort here, stuck in the important place. In fact, Jing Cheng was originally about the card. However, when the Ming Dynasty divided the provincial borders, the Jingcheng Pass was assigned to Shanxi. This level is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was not taken that day. Only build a fort to plug its vital points. This road is blocked.

Geng Bingwen arrived in Taiyuan last year. On the one hand, the soldiers and horses were rectified. On the other hand, we will find a way to go east.

He also tried to attack, but he didn't make any progress. It's like Fu Youde attacking Anling Fort.

It's just that Geng Bingwen is not better at attacking and defending, and Fu Youde is not better at it. After all. Geng Bingwen was stationed in Changxing for ten years, so that Zhu Yuanzhang had no worries when he attacked Chen Youliang. In the face of Zhang Shicheng's 100,000 army besieging at the most difficult time, he only had thousands of soldiers under his command, but he still held the city.

Those who are experts in defending cities must also have experience in siege.

The method used by Geng Bingwen is to blast.

He asked people to dig tunnels to go straight to the city, and stuffed thousands of catties of explosives into them. With a bang, a big gap was smashed in the castle, and there was no need to talk about the following things. Although the officers and men of the Northern Army put up a heroic resistance. But there is no outnumbering.

The final outcome can be imagined.

This is because digging tunnels takes a long time. Geng Bingwen has only been preparing for a few months and has succeeded in one fell swoop.

It's just that many times the impact of victory is not necessarily positive. There are also negatives.

If only Geng Bingwen won, it would be enough. And Fu Youde's victory in the Battle of Anlingbao made many people have other ideas. I don't think Beijing is going to work.

Zhu Xiongying pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle means Uncle Jin. ”

He Xi said: "Yes." ”

King Jin also thinks so.

This news is not good news for King Jin.

Without him, King Jin actually hopes that this battle will continue for a long time, and does not want either side to win. If he could, he also hoped for a major defeat for the Southern Army. So as to maintain the independence of his Jin king in Taiyuan.

Geng Bingwen. Zhao Yong and these two people moved slowly and had a very important relationship with King Jin. If it weren't for the stability of the situation in Nanjing, the pressure on King Jin would be increasing. Geng Bingwen's attack this time may not be successful.

The King of Jin was even in the name of supporting Geng Bingwen. The prince of Jin was ordered to sit in Taiyuan, and he brought tens of thousands of troops to support Geng Bingwen.

It's okay that it doesn't support it. As soon as he supported He Xi, he immediately felt that the threat of the Western Road Southern Army had been greatly reduced.

After all, a war is a war, and once a war is fought, there are too many other factors in it. The chances of victory are smaller.

Zhu Xiongying said: "What does my uncle mean by attacking the Western Route Army first?" ”

He Xi said: "No, Fu Youde is a famous general in the world. He won't sit still, the last time was when the Marquis of Xingyang failed the Duke of Yingguo. Otherwise, this would not be the case now, and perhaps, the art of war of the Southern Army would be in Tianjin. ”

"It is precisely because Fu Youde is in the east that we can only win a decisive battle with Fu Youde first. Instead of dealing with Geng Bingwen. ”

Zhu Xiongying pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. We attack Fu Youde, Geng Bingwen basically wants to support, I'm afraid it won't work for a while. But Fu Youde wants to support Geng Bingwen, but it is a matter of one sentence. ”

"If you want to save the situation, the most important thing is to avoid the two armies joining forces. So attack Fu Youde first. ”

He Xi nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

In fact, He Xi didn't think Zhu Xiongying was right. Because Zhu Xiongying obviously does not have an intuitive understanding of the battlefield. The reason is simple. The battlefield is limited, just like Ye Shen and Fu Youde fought in the north of Anling Fort, in fact, Fu Youde's number is more than Ye Shen's. But the two sides seem to be evenly matched. That's because the battlefield is so big. No more people can put it away.

Fu Youde commanded the army from behind to make a detour, in fact, it was the same. Along the banks of the canal, of course, is the Great Plains. But as a general, his command ability, and the army's ability to communicate in this era, are all limited.

It determines how big the army can be, and even if there are no restrictions on the terrain, it is impossible for the army to fight without limits.

Fu Youde understood this very well, so he did not ask the army behind him to join him, but dispersed his forces, took two roundabouts, and established a new battlefield.

In other words, the reason why the troops in Fu Youde's hands did not increase was because adding more would only increase the logistical burden, and it would have no effect on the war itself. There are even side effects. That is why Yang Guang's attack on Goryeo was a disaster.

It's not that the Koreans are so hard to fight. It was the Sui army's own logistical pressure that crushed itself.

At that time, Liaodong was full of swamps, and it simply could not withstand such a large logistical pressure. When Tang Taizong attacked Goryeo, the logistics of tens of thousands of people were very difficult. Not to mention, hundreds of thousands of people in the Sui Dynasty.

In other words, the convergence of the two armies of Fu Youde and Geng Bingwen is in line with the art of war. Fu Youde would never do such a stupid thing.

But what did He Xi do when he told Zhu Xiongying about this?

For a while, he also told Zhu Xiongying that he couldn't tell him what was going on. His immediate priority is to reassure Zhu Xiongying and rebuild Zhu Xiongying's confidence in victory, so that he can move on to the next step today. Instead of giving Zhu Xiongying a lesson in the art of war.

Zhu Xiongying heard He Xi praise himself, and he was really a little happy, and said: "Then Uncle is ready, how to deal with Fu Youde, Ye Shen is not good?" To change or not to change? ”

He Xi sighed and said, "In the opinion of the minister, it's still Ye Shen." Although Ye Shen lost to Fu Youde. But being able to retreat in front of Fu Youde is not something ordinary people can do. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
