Chapter 126: The Show Begins
"Very good, after retreating forty beacon towers and sentry posts, only thirty people died, but it was able to kill more than a thousand Northern Yuan cavalry, what a big victory!"
"yes, if I hadn't known that such an ambush couldn't be repeated, I would have wanted to come a few more times."
Jiang Ming looked at the battle report, and the corners of his mouth reached the back of his head.
Thirty to a thousand, or infantry for cavalry, no matter which dynasty it is, it can be regarded as a brilliant victory.
"Don't be discouraged, our plans have just begun, and the best is yet to come."
Although he was also excited, Cao Xing was relatively calm and had already begun to plan his next actions.
Only Zhu Gaoxuan still frowned and looked at the number thirty, feeling a little unbearable.
'Alas, it's really Ci Bu's soldiers. ’
Although he knew that his grief was wrong and out of place, he did grieve for the thirty dead and wounded warriors.
Even now he can't bear to carry out the next plan.
For the first time, the cruelty of war was unfolding before him.
He did not see dead people, and personally beheaded eighty-nine prisoners, and ordered the execution of hundreds of civilians who violated smallpox epidemic prevention.
But as a traverser, he always has a moral criterion in his heart, and he is easily unwilling to see his own people die.
As for the enemy?
Hmm~ Looking at the number one thousand one hundred and twenty-two, his mood is much better.
A brilliant victory indeed.
"Your Highness, why don't you go back first, a big war may break out at any time, and it's too dangerous for you to stay in Liangzhou Mansion."
"The soldiers we sent out to ask for help came to report that Xiningwei, Liangzhouwei, and Lanzhou Wei were all unable to send troops to help when they encountered a snow disaster; Yan'an and Qingyang provinces said they could send troops, but it would take a few days. ”
"Liangzhou Mansion, it's really dangerous!"
Just when Zhu Gaoxuan was comforting himself, Geng Zhong came over and persuaded Zhu Gaoxuan to leave again.
"With you here, what danger can I have, and as long as the [Turtle Catching Plan in the Urn] is successfully implemented, I am safer in Liangzhou Mansion than in Lantian."
"But~"
"Don't be, I'm not unprepared, didn't you find that Zhang Quan and Liu Shun weren't there?
I'll let them go back to Lantian to make a secret weapon, and I'll surprise you when the time comes! ”
"But~~"
Geng Zhong still wants it, but Lan Qiang came over and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Lao Geng, he is the son of His Majesty, His Majesty's son is not a bad seed, and the other princes have all gone to the battlefield, and they are not also living well.
His Royal Highness King Liang should also go to the battlefield and see the cruelty of the battlefield. ”
Cao Xing on the side also nodded approvingly.
The two of them are Zhu Gaoxuan's teachers, and the purpose of teaching Zhu Gaoxuan is not to let Zhu Gaoxuan go to the battlefield?
Now that he has a chance to go to war, how can he let him go.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxuan went to the battlefield to command at the rear of the battlefield, and it was not his turn to kill the enemy on the front line!
At least at present, Zhu Gaoxuan has not officially learned martial arts, and before he learns the martial arts of the battle array, he doesn't want to go into battle.
"Okay, but General Lan, you have to protect Your Highness."
"Don't worry, there are ten soldiers from the Liangwang Mansion to protect His Royal Highness at any time, and as long as you don't go to the front line, Your Highness is very safe, and you will set off for the Liangzhou Mansion to break the city."
"Uh~ definitely not."
Geng Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and promised:
"Liangzhou Mansion will definitely not be broken, even if the city is really broken, I will do my best to escort His Highness away."
"Haha~ With your words, I can rest assured that I can go into battle."
Hearing Geng Zhong's assurance, Lan Qiang suddenly laughed and felt a kind of happiness that the conspiracy had succeeded, as if he was forcing Geng Zhong with words, just so that he could go into battle and kill.
Zhu Gaoxuan didn't pay attention to the joking interaction of several people, but thought of a possibility, walked to Geng Zhong's map, pressed the middle finger of his right hand on his temple, and pressed it gently.
He thought of a possibility, a possibility of the truth that Beiyuan had come to commit this time.
The Northern Yuan cavalry has been here for two days, but they are all testing everywhere, looking for the Ming guards' bright posts and secret posts, instead of directly attacking them.
Their actions were more like they wanted to smuggle across Helan Mountain, rather than really wanting to fight.
If they didn't want to fight in the first place, then what was their purpose?
Millions of cattle and sheep!
You can't go wrong with that!
The whole Mobei knows that there are millions of cattle and sheep in Lantian, and the war must be for a certain purpose, not for the sake of war.
Therefore, the first goal of those Beiyuan people this time must be that he takes 'millions of cattle and sheep'.
In addition to cattle and sheep, I am afraid there is also the treasure of snowflake salt.
The fire he set in the Lantian Plain before forced out a lot of secret workers, and many of these people had spies from the Northern Yuan.
It is estimated that the Northern Yuan tribe in Mobei knows that the snowflake salt was made by him, the king of Damingliang.
Then, it is necessary to grab snowflake salt when grabbing cattle and sheep, and it would be even more perfect if you could grab him, the king of coolness.
So......
"Geng Zhong, find a way to release the news from the Beiyuan Tartar on the other side, I am in Liangzhou Mansion, and the snowflake salt production workshop is in the city of Liangzhou Mansion."
"No way!"
"No!"
As soon as his voice fell, there was a wave of opposition.
As a general or a thousand households, a group of people with experience in leading the army immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Gaoxuan's words,
He just wanted to use himself as bait to lure the Northern Yuan army to come directly to the Liangzhou Mansion and enter the trap they had set.
Although everyone knew that releasing this news would increase the success rate of their plan by several levels,
But if one operation is not good, Liang Wang will die.
You must know that in addition to frontal fighting, war can also be poisoned and assassinated.
Poisoned, Liangzhou Mansion has seen it in the summer, and they don't doubt the madness of those people in Beiyuan at all.
Assassination may be a little harder, but it will happen.
In the midst of dissuasion, Zhu Gaoxuan was smiling.
"Everyone, you are all so excited, will you be even more excited when the Northern Yuan Tartars know that I am here?"
"And what do you think those Tartars are running around for?"
“……”
Everyone was at first stunned, and then some of them figured it out.
Others may have concerns and didn't say it directly, Sheng Chong said directly: "They want to bypass Liangzhou Mansion and enter Lantian directly!" ”
Since the window paper was pierced, Geng Zhong didn't have any worries, and directly pointed out: "Their purpose, in fact, we all know, is His Highness's millions of cattle and sheep. ”
"And snowflake salt."
Jiang Ming also answered, as a thousand households in charge of intelligence, how could he not know the purpose of Beiyuan's dispatch of troops this time.
But no matter what their purpose is, as long as they want to pass through Liangzhou Mansion, they can't do it, as a soldier, he will protect every inch of Daming's land!
"So, is there a better bait than mine?
As long as the bait is attractive enough, can those Northern Yuan Tartars not enter the urn? ”
