Chapter 704: A Strategy to Break the Enemy
Zhu Di and Zhu Su reunited after a long absence, and the two brothers had a lot to say. It's a pity that I am in the army at this time, and I am surrounded by strong enemies, so I really can't drink.
However, Rao is like this, Zhu Di still gathered all the generals, had a small banquet with Zhu Su and his party, and then pulled Zhu Su into his tent and told him what he had seen and heard in these days.
"Since the westward expansion, we have known the size of the world." Zhu Di pillowed his hands behind his head, like a child who had found a treasure and could finally show off, with an excited look on his face. "I thought that Mongolia and the four khanates were already the whole of this world."
"Unexpectedly, all the way to the west, the Timurid Empire, Persia...... There is still such a place. ”
"Fifth brother, do you know? Further west of the Timurid Empire, the Great Qin State mentioned in the Book of Han was already in sight. I heard that the Great Qin is now in the waning mountains and is being threatened by another powerful emerging empire. ”
"I can't imagine that this Great Qin has been inherited for thousands of years from the Han Dynasty to the present, right? It's really amazing that such a great empire is about to be destroyed by others. ”
"Farther west, there are more countries at war. I heard that above their emperor, there is actually a pope, which is really a big world, and there are no surprises. ”
Zhu Su listened quietly, the Great Qin State that Zhu Di said was the Roman Empire in history. The Roman Empire has been inherited several times, but in fact, the current Rome is not the same thing as the previous one. However, Zhu Su didn't interrupt, just quietly listened to Zhu Di talk about what he had seen.
“…… Most of these kingdoms are savage, ignorant, cruel and aggressive. When I arrived in these places, I realized what kind of paradise China is. Zhu Di said for a long time, and then sighed leisurely. His expression gradually became solemn, and he turned to look at Zhu Su: "You said that in the future, these kingdoms will become stronger and more prosperous than my Huaxia, and then bully my Huaxia people, right?" ”
"Yes." Zhu Su nodded. "In fact, at this time, they have already stepped into the turning point of their upcoming take-off."
"There is now an ideological revolution brewing in the West, which later generations called the 'Renaissance Movement'. After this movement, the West began to officially take off, and continued to advance by leaps and bounds, and I ...... But because of the inadequacy and arrogance, these Xiyi finally surpassed Huaxia. ”
"Hundreds of years later, Xiyi knocked on the door of our country with strong ships and cannons, bringing unprecedented shame to Chinese civilization. Huaxia almost sank, and countless martyrs followed one another, almost building the Great Wall with flesh and blood, only to stop the decline of our Huaxia, but even so, Huaxia has not been able to recover for hundreds of years. ”
"And with the help of all kinds of wealth looted from China, they grew rapidly......"
Zhu Su looked at the top of the tent, not so much telling Zhu Di as talking to himself. Zhu Di listened quietly, although he didn't understand what the "Renaissance Movement" was, he could hear Zhu Su's deep regret and humiliation for that period of "history".
"In this case, it is all the more necessary to defeat the stumbling block of the Timurid Empire." Zhu Di's voice turned cold.
"What kind of 'Renaissance Movement', when we wait for the army to arrive, we have to turn him into a 'Chinese Revival Movement'!"
"How to defeat Timur, fourth brother, do you have a fixed opinion?" Zhu Su asked.
Although the two armies converged, in fact, the situation is still not optimistic. Although the people brought by Zhu Su had a large number of civil and military generals in their hands, the troops were actually not abundant. Zhu Di fought with Timur for a long time, and his troops were damaged. Combined, the two brothers had less than 40,000 troops at this time.
To storm Timur, it is still not enough.
"In the past few days, Timur's army is indeed dense...... Speaking of this, Zhu Di was also a little frustrated.
"This guy is also the lord of a country, and he has put on such a tortoiseshell-like formation. It is said that he calls himself the Golden Family, and he should fight like the Mongols in a war...... I really don't know where I learned such a scoundrel style of play. ”
Zhu Laosi gritted his teeth, but Zhu Su could hear that although he was scolding, in fact, he still admired Timur in his heart.
"Timur has no flaws, are his generals like iron buckets?" Zhu Su said. "Can the fourth brother find out the truth of the characters in Timur's army?"
"Nature." Zhu Di said. He was chatting happily, but he didn't feel sleepy at this time, so he simply got up and stood up, and Zhu Su hugged him and came to the map next to the table.
"Timur is easy to use his clansmen, so most of his generals are also the descendants of his clan." Zhu Di said that he attacked and harassed Timur's army every day, and he was already well aware of the distribution of his generals.
"The man I met with Mahamu this morning was Shasikah, an elder of Timur's family, and a helper in his beginnings. This man was quite experienced in using troops, and he actually predicted the route of Mahamu's advance and made an ambush in advance......"
"In addition to him, there are also Timur's sons, Miransha, Shahru, and Tokhurgan...... Zhu Di said, pointing out the places where Timur's sons were stationed one by one on the map. Timur's sons were numerous, and there were many of them, and about seven or eight were listed.
"The tiger father has no dogs, most of these people also know some military strategies, and Timur commands the whole army, which is not easy to deal with."
"Milansha?" Zhu Su looked at the places that Zhu Di pointed out first, and fell into deep thought. "Is this garrison of Milansha adjacent to Timur's other son, Shahru?"
“…… Yes, how? Zhu Di saw Zhu Su asking, and his face flashed with joy. He knows that his brother, because of his special experience, sometimes knows some details that ordinary people don't know. "This Miransha was Timur's most courageous and warlike son, and he was indeed brave...... Why, is it his chance? ”
"Perhaps." Zhu Su said. Regarding the history of the Timurid Empire, Zhu Su does not remember very clearly, but remembers that after Timur's death, his sons competed for the position of sultan, and fought each other to the death, and the Timurid Empire fell apart.
This Milan sand is adjacent to Shahru...... If these two people have the great position of Timur's heir, perhaps, at this time, they are hoping that the Ming army will kill the brother next to them......
In other words, if the Ming army attacked here, the two Timurid armies might not cover each other......
"Miransha and Shaharu's information, how much do you have there, fourth brother?" With only the vague memory in his mind, Zhu Su didn't dare to confirm it after all, so he asked Zhu Dixiang.
"Although Timur was eloquent and strategic, they could never be monolithic internally...... If you want to break the enemy, maybe you have to start with his sons! ”
