Chapter 358: Duoyan Sanwei
Seeing Zhu Su's face change, Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder, until Zhu Su informed him of the worries in his heart, Zhu Di's face also turned pale: "Emperor Yuan is mediocre and incompetent, will he have the courage to fight for his life with my Daming?" Probably not, right? ”
"It's hard to say. Although Emperor Yuan is mediocre and incompetent, don't forget that Wang Baobao is still in charge of the military affairs of the Yuan Court. Zhu Su said.
Although it is unlikely, this is a game between the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, was the top player in strategic ability, the actual ruler of the Yuan Court, Wang Baobao, who was known as the "strange man in the world" (that is, Timur, who defeated Xu Da in the Battle of Lingbei), was not a mediocre player.
Wang Baobao single-handedly helped protect the Yuan Court from destruction, and even beat the Ming army to the point of "rare since then" in the Battle of Lingbei, whether it is at the tactical or strategic level, this person is also the top line in the world.
It's hard to say whether he will be able to defy public opinion and play this one-life move, but it is the only chess game that Dayuan has any hope of turning the tables.
"Didn't you say that General Xu Da's troops were arriving. With the general here, I don't think it'll be fine. Zhu Di said. This life-and-death strategic game between the two countries, he felt it for the first time at this time, and he unconsciously sweated his back. Zhu Su was also forced to calm down, and said with a forced smile: "Maybe I'm worried about nothing." After Zhang Dingbian comes back, just ask him again. ”
However, before the words fell, I heard a sergeant come to report: "His Royal Highness King Yuyan, His Royal Highness King Wu, Chang Guogong and Zhang Jushi are back." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Di and Zhu Su glanced at each other, and the two of them invariably dressed in the same robe and greeted Chang Mao and Zhang Dingbian.
Seeing the two highnesses greeting each other, the sergeants also dismounted. Zhang Dingbian also laughed and said: "I haven't seen the Fifth Highness for a few months, and the demeanor of the Fifth Highness is even better than in the past!" ”
"Emperor Ming can have four highnesses and five highnesses, these two Lin'er, this life is not in vain!"
"The military affairs are important, and the gossip will be talked about later." Zhu Su said to Zhang Dingbian. "I heard my fourth brother say that Zhang Jushi has 100,000 urgent news to tell me, I don't know what the news is?"
"Could it be that Yuan Ting is going south?" Zhu Di also asked.
"A certain person is only active in the boundary near the Great Wall, is there any change in the Yuan Court, but I haven't heard any news." Speaking of business, Zhang Dingbian also became serious.
No news is good news, just when Zhu Su and Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Dingbian said: "Although Yuan Ting doesn't know if there is any change, but a certain person has found out that there are traces of gathering in the 'Shanyang Ten Thousand Households' in the north. ”
"Ten thousand households in Shanyang?" Zhu Su was a little puzzled. "What kind of tribe is this?"
"Shanyang Wanhu was originally a Ulus (that is, the meaning of "fiefdom") under the rule of the descendants of Genghis Khan's younger brother Tiemu Ge Chijin. "It's Zhu Di, who has a lot of power layout in the Northern Yuan Dynasty." Its lord is the Liao king of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, 'Aza Lost Li'. ”
"Aza Lost? This name sounds familiar...... Zhu Su thought carefully, and suddenly let out a loud cry.
Isn't Aza lost Li the leader of Tainingwei who later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and quickly rebelled to the Northern Yuan? His subordinates have a total of three guards, and there are 80,000 Mongolian iron horsemen. Later, they had an even more famous name:
Duoyan Sanwei!
"You mean, Aza is eyeing the border with tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen?" Zhu Su asked Zhang Dingbiandao.
"I'm afraid it's not just eyeing each other." Zhang Dingbian shook the shiny bald head. "When a certain person entered the customs, a certain brother came to report that they had gathered and were marching towards Daming."
"This ......" In an instant, Zhu Di, Zhu Su, Chang Mao, Cao Yuan and other generals were shocked.
The Liao king Aza lost his army on a large scale, and it was impossible for it to be without the instruction of the Northern Yuan court. In other words, Wang Baobao really saw this flaw in Daming, and was ready to unite with Naha to take the opportunity to bite off a piece of fat from Daming's body.
Zhu Su only felt that his heart was cold, and he suddenly remembered the day when he looked at Naha from afar and found an abnormality.
Obviously, Naha's army, which had fallen and lost its back route, was still stationed on the outskirts of Yongping Mansion without attacking. The grain and grass in Yongping Mansion were piled up, and there were at least 150,000 people in the Naha Division, and such a huge number could not be enough for such an army to consume only by plundering the rations of the people in all directions.
If the siege continues, the final result will only be to run out of food and retreat. At that time, I guessed that Naha was unwilling, and he still wanted to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and wanted to swallow a few Ming troops and return to Liaodong.
But there is a huge loophole in this speculation: as a warlord who supports his own army, the strength in his hands is the greatest guarantee of his power, and it is the fundamental bargaining chip for him to seek the greatest interests in the gap between the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Would such a warlord really push all his chips onto the table because of a momentary mood?
Zhu Su only felt that the clouds were clear in his mind: Naha was not out of a momentary mood, nor was it because he was unwilling; This old fox is actually waiting, waiting for his reinforcements, waiting for the 80,000 Duoyan three cavalry to fall from the sky!
"Report! Yongping Mansion Urgent! Suddenly, a sharp voice came into the ears of Zhu Su and the others. Seeing that there was a Ming army flag here, the knight galloped quickly in front of Zhu Su and the others. He almost climbed off the horse, saw that there were two royal flags in front of him, and hurriedly knelt on the ground panting.
"Are you...... Jin Yiwei? Hurry up, what's wrong with Yongping Mansion? Zhu Di hurriedly asked.
"Yes......" The man gasped as he took out the waist card from his bosom to prove his identity as a brocade guard. The villain is the Jinyi guard stationed in Yongping Mansion, and on the order of Lord Qiu Cheng, the commander of Yongping Guard, he went out of the city to ask for help from nearby allies. ”
"Yesterday night, Naha suddenly set out to storm the walls of Yongping Mansion. The thieves are menacing, if there are no reinforcements, Yongping Mansion may fall! ”
"What?" Everyone was shocked again, no one expected that Naha, who had been putting on a siege to send reinforcements, and did not take the initiative to attack the city, would actually not move, and if he moved, it would be like a thunderstorm, and suddenly attack Yongping Mansion at night.
"No, isn't Naha out of that guy crazy?" Chang Mao was puzzled. "In the Jianchang camp, there are still tens of thousands of our Ming troops, eyeing them."
"Although Guo Xing's skills are mediocre, he has fought all his life, and he has some vision after all."
"Naha out of the nest to dare to move, Guo Xing will definitely take advantage of the situation to send troops to copy his ass, this back and forth, Naha out of the thief bird, isn't it going to be angry at both ends?"
