"Your Highness, why do you want to release the captives at this time!" Not only did the Guan Tong outside the city not understand, but on the city wall, Ru Taisu, who hurried over after hearing the news, also beat his chest.

"There is a huge difference between the strength of our and the Yuan soldiers, and releasing it back to the Yuan army at this time is tantamount to adding a handful of new firewood to the Yuan army's already fire-like offensive!" Ru Taisu blew his beard and glared anxiously, as if he had seen the Yuan army break through the city tomorrow and slaughter the whole city. "Isn't Your Highness deliberately supporting the enemy? If there is no explanation, after the old minister returns to Beijing, he will definitely have to visit the next book of His Royal Highness! ”

"Old Ru, old Ru, don't get excited...... Zhu Su sweated and pressed Ru Taisu on the chair. In the past few days, the old man's prejudice against him at the beginning has been slowly alleviated in the process of strategizing to help the needy again and again. But this time it was obviously too unexpected for the old man, and the old man jumped to his feet. "Listen to me......"

"Your Highness!" Ru Taisu was pressed on the chair angrily, still blowing his beard indignantly. There were 50,000 Yuan troops outside the city, but there were only 10,000 patchwork troops in the city plus more than 10,000 militiamen who could only fight the enemy, so in this case, His Highness dared to capture 20,000 elite Yuan troops to the Yuan army outside the city.

"It's all my own people, and this king is not afraid of damaging the morale of you and others. The two kings of Japan are in the city, and they can see it clearly. "Zhu Su looked around, in addition to Ru Taisu, there were also two brothers, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, as well as Chang Mao, Di Meng, Cao Yuan and other generals." You wait to be honest, if the Yuan army rises again tomorrow and returns to the artillery storm, can we still hold this city wall? ”

The generals of the "......" looked at each other for a while, and finally lowered their heads a little dejectedly. Although several highnesses stood in danger with their bodies of ten thousand gold and stabilized the morale of the Ming army, as generals, they knew that it was difficult to stop the attack of the Yuan army with return cannons again with just their people and the low city wall of Changli County.

"If you don't speak, I will feel that the city wall can't be held when you wait." Zhu Su said to everyone. "The reason why this king released the captives is precisely to hold the nose of the Yuan army and let them follow our ideas."

"Act as we envision?" Chang Mao opened his mouth in surprise, "What did Your Highness Fifth say?" ”

"Brother Chang." Zhu Su nodded at Chang Mao and said, "You say, the Yuan army rushed from under Yongping City, and they didn't even set up a camp on the first day, how much grain and grass would they bring in their army?" ”

"This ......" Chang Mao was stunned, "Looking at the appearance of Yuan Bing, he must have thought about a quick battle on the first day." In my opinion, they can carry a maximum of four or five days' worth of grain and grass with them! ”

"Exactly." Zhu Su nodded, and a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Then, if there are suddenly more than 20,000 mouths to eat, then the grain and grass of the Yuan army are still enough?" ”

"Your Highness wants to spend the Yuan Army's food and grass?" Ru Taisu also suddenly realized at this time, "So that's the case!" ”

But after thinking about it, he fell into worry again: "However, it is a fact that the Yuan army has successfully increased its troops now. With 20,000 more people, the offensive of these Japanese troops will inevitably be more fierce, but what should be done? ”

"Far from being violent, the Yuan army's offensive will not be violent, but will temporarily stop the offensive." Zhu Su hadn't spoken yet, but it was Zhu Di who spoke. He looked at Zhu Su with admiration: "This king can be regarded as understanding the intentions of the fifth brother!" ”

"From the very beginning, he made up his mind to use these captives to delay the offensive of the Yuan army: don't forget, among that part of the captives, the contradictions between the Han and the Mongols and the Semu have reached the point of rivalry!"

"Exactly!" Zhu Su smiled lightly. is worthy of the future Yongle Emperor, with a little dialing, you can see the doorway.

"Ahh So that's it! Chang Mao and the others also reacted. After those captives returned to the Yuan people's bird camp, those Mongols who were bullied by us will definitely sue those Han people! ”

"In this way, a group of thieves and birds in the Yuanren camp are not there to quarrel with each other, making the Guantong head and two, and it is too late to guard the more than 10,000 Han people in those captive camps, where is there still leisure to attack the city?"

A group of people suddenly realized that they had asked the captives to pull the back legs of the Yuan army to slow down the offensive, and they didn't expect that the group of captives could still use it for such an emergency, and everyone had to admire the quick wit of the Fifth Highness. Ru Taisu was also relieved: "I see! But it was the old minister who blamed the Fifth Highness for it! ”

"It's just that there is still one point that the old minister is still puzzled about, His Royal Highness said that he held the nose of the Yuan army and let the Yuan army act according to our assumptions, but what kind of method is it?"

"Lao Chen is only afraid that the military rations we are waiting for will be exhausted sooner, and this method will cure the symptoms but not the root cause after all, and when the Yuan army reorganizes and digests the dissatisfaction of the captives, at that time, we will welcome a full 70,000 Yuan soldiers......" Speaking of this, Ru Taisu was still worried.

"Old Rutou, you're right. But have you forgotten that before the Yuan army can reorganize its posture, there must be one thing to do first? Zhu Su blinked. What this king wants is for them to be obediently led by the nose and do this. ”

"Do one thing? What's up? Everyone was puzzled, even Zhu Di was stunned, and couldn't think of his fifth brother's plan for a while. But Zhu Su didn't have the heart to explain, he just shook the folding fan, and beckoned to Zhu Di and Chang Mao: "Fourth brother, big brother Chang, there is one thing I have to do for you." ”

"You remember this, this, this, ......"

……

As Zhu Su expected, after successfully containing the captives, Guantong met with the top general in the captive camp, Hong Boyan Timur.

The two were old acquaintances, and after a little talking, Guan Tong inquired about why the Ming army released them. I saw Hong Boyan Timur said angrily: "What else can it be? The Ming army must have planted eyeliner among those Han people! The Zhu Su child in the city is the best at conspiracy and trickery, and released more than 20,000 people back to the mountain, how can he have such a good heart? ”

Speaking of Zhu Su, Hong Boyan Timur called a righteous indignant, describing Zhu Su as some heinous flood beast, and the direct listening Guan Tong was stunned.

"I'll just say, how could the prince of the Ming Court have such good intentions, and now I see that he really harbors evil intentions!" The children were also suddenly enlightened. It turned out to be a favor to the Han people in captivity, and I plan to cooperate with the outside world! On the surface, he deliberately promised the captives that as long as the walls were repaired, they would be let go...... What a hypocritical Prince of the Ming Court!

"Don't talk about the side yet, but if you have something to eat, bring some first. My sons have been hungry for days. "Hong Boyan Timur considers himself to be the leading thinker of Naha's subordinates, and he is not polite to Shangguantong. When the Ming army expelled them from the city, they did not prepare food for them. In the past few days, I have only eaten a handful of fried rice all day, and I have been so hungry that my chest is close to my back.

The damn Ming army only gave the Han people one more meal, but a high-ranking official of the Yuan army like him couldn't get an extra bite of fried rice......

"Uh, this ......" Hearing Hong Boyan Timur's greeting, Guantong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The army under his command only has one day's food left, and if it is distributed to them, how will they attack the city tomorrow?

This is also one of the tricks of the Ming army, right?

When he told Hong Boyan Timur about this thought, Hong Boyan Timur scoffed: "You are confused." Those Han people in the camp have ghosts in their hearts, in this case, can you be relieved that tomorrow you can make the army attack the city? ”

"If these Han people take the opportunity to use some small means behind their backs, won't our army be in danger?"

"It's better to divide the grain, and tomorrow I will send someone to find Prime Minister Zuo to transfer military rations. And then when those Han people are controlled, and the grain and grass are abundant, they will attack the city again, and the county seat of Changli will be here, and they can still fly away from the sky and the earth? ”

Guan Tong thought about it, it is worthy of being one of the few Mongolians who have read the book of soldiers, it is indeed such a truth, he was also hesitating what to do if he could not capture the city tomorrow, since there are now 20,000 more people, it is better to simply stabilize his mind, first go to the grain and grass and then slowly figure it out.

Guan Tong didn't notice that because of the extra 20,000 people, he who originally planned to fight a quick battle, had unconsciously begun to prefer to fight a protracted war.

Without his own knowledge, Zhu Su was already unaware and grabbed his nose.
