The Loop.

On April 18, Zhu Hui was still leading the troops forward, in order to join forces with all walks of life, at this time his marching speed was already very slow, and he only walked about 50 miles a day.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Hui was already preparing to go into the tent early to "study the art of war", but a herald here hurriedly came to report that he had found traces of a large number of Tatar activities, which made Zhu Hui so nervous that he almost couldn't stand still.

When he saw the person who brought the news, he frowned even more, because it was Zhang Lun who had been sent by him to the west to investigate the enemy's situation before.

And Zhang Lun was injured and returned.

"The little grandfather's injury is not light." A lieutenant came over and looked at Zhu Hui with a nervous look.

It means that if something happens to Zhang Lun, he won't be able to explain to Zhang Mao after he goes back, and maybe the emperor won't be able to say it.

Look at it, you actually let a young man who has never been on the battlefield to investigate the enemy's situation, and he came back wounded, do you let him go to training, or do you want his life?

A bunch of knightly generals in the army were surrounding Zhang Lun, and Zhu Hui also walked over.

Zhang Lun found Zhu Hui and wanted to get up from the wooden board lying down to salute Zhu Hui, Zhu Hui raised his hand and said, "Virtuous nephew, don't be polite, you have worked hard." Something to say directly. ”

Cui Yuan next to him glared at Zhu Hui curiously, as if to say, Baoguo Gong, you call him "virtuous nephew", it seems that you two are inferior, right?

Zhang Lun's voice was very slight: "The last general has been leading troops in the northwest to investigate the enemy's situation, two days ago, a group of Tatars covered up and killed us, after the fight, killed them six heads, and was about to retreat, and a large group of Tatars came to kill again......

Zhang Lun began to tell the story of his adventures.

In general, it was Zhang Lun who first encountered twice as many enemy troops as himself, but with the fire gun and a light cannon in his hand, he defeated the Tatars, killed six Tatars, and wounded more than a dozen.

But the Tatars, seeing that there were no reinforcements behind them, sent four times as many men and horses as they were, attacking them from different directions until they were driven to a dead end, and at last they had to begin to retreat.

"The results, how was the results?"

Zhu Hui didn't care where those Tatars came from now, he heard that there was a merit of the first rank, and his eyes widened.

Zhang Lun said: "A total of ten people were killed, but only six heads were brought back, and the injured can't be counted, we ...... Five or six brothers died, and I still ...... I was hit by an arrow, and we came back after a lot of hard work...... When they crossed a river, they saw from a distance that a large number of their cavalry were moving in the southwest direction, which was the direction of Mu Usu, and they were probably going to Ningxia......"

When Zhang Lun finished saying this, he had no strength to open his eyes again.

A bunch of people present looked at each other, and finally almost everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Hui.

Zhang Lun can be regarded as a "great achievement", although the casualties are not much different from the other party, and it is said that he killed ten people on the other side, but the effective killing and wounding are only six, and there are a few dead and injured on his side, but Zhang Lun brought back very valuable information, that is, the Tatars are advancing to the Ningxia defense area west of the Hetao.

"Unlikely, right?" The staff next to Zhu Hui spoke first.

Zhu Hui nodded and said: "The Tatars don't fight us now, they go to Ningxia, they can obviously confront us head-to-head in the wilderness they are good at, and they actually go to fight where there are city walls stationed?" Ben Shuai also has doubts about this. ”

Cui Yuan looked at Zhang Lun lying on the ground, wanting to say but didn't say it.

He actually wanted to remind Zhu Hui, do you think Zhang Lun is the kind of person who "lied about the military situation"? Or did he inflict the injuries on his body?

"It's debatable, let's take a good look at why this is." Zhu Hui said, "Send people to the camp tent to rest, you must treat your injuries quickly, this is about to be hot, don't have anything wrong." ”

In these years, the biggest problem of summer combat is the problem of injury and suppuration.

Once you can't get through it...... It's basically a death, even if the wound itself isn't big.

"Everyone, let's disperse." Zhu Hui added.

Xiangcheng Bo Li Yan on the side, who can be regarded as a very prestigious general in the army, reminded: "Old man Zhu, there is an enemy situation here, should someone be sent to investigate." ”

Zhu Hui said: "The Tatars are interfering with our line of sight, do you think they may enter Ningxia from the west?" Besides, even if we fight, there are Ming soldiers to block it, and our errand is to block their back road, and the Tatars don't come here, which means that they are afraid of us! ”

"Huh?"

Li Yan was stunned by Zhu Hui's brain circuits.

He immediately understood what Zhu Hui meant, as long as the Tatars don't fight with us, then they like to fight with whomever they like, and the responsibility is not on their side, then they can make a detour behind enemy lines and use forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses to do something to disturb behind enemy lines......

Even if Li Yan himself is not a wise and martial minister, when he hears this, he can feel Zhu Hui's shamelessness.

You took the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and you didn't think about how to annihilate the enemy, but you actually thought about how to avoid the enemy, and how to be opportunistic.

You're really ......

Cui Yuan said in a hurry: "If the Tatars really want to attack Ningxia, our three armies should quickly cover up the past and cut off their back roads, so it is the best policy." ”

Zhu Hui didn't shy away from the presence of so many generals, he said: "Maoren, you still have to learn more about this kind of war, but now you are alone, maybe it's just a small group of Tatar migration?" We haven't gathered troops yet, so what's the hurry? After the army is gathered, we will negotiate. ”

"That ......"

"Enough!" Zhu Hui was annoyed, "Who is the commander in this army?" Who should I listen to when it is critical? Ben Shuai said step by step, then it must be done step by step, who puts forward opinions again, don't blame Ben Shuai for being ruthless! Also, today's events must not be leaked to the outside world to prevent disturbing the morale of the military! ”

The generals of the Chinese army camp tent looked at each other again.

They all seemed to feel that following Zhu Hui out to fight seemed to have some security performance, because this guy didn't want to fight hard at all, he was an old fritter.

But it doesn't seem to be easy to follow Zhu Hui to make contributions.

After Zhu Hui led people away first, Cui Yuanmu stood there dumbfoundedly, and after a while, he heard a general complaining: "The little grandfather of the Zhang family is injured in vain, it seems that the British government has a capable person, and the grandson of the tiger is a general." ”

……

……

Night.

Cui Yuan couldn't bear it, and because of his "straightforwardness", or his lack of military experience, he still ran to see Zhu Hui.

Cui Yuan said: "...... The Tatars are likely to have gone in the direction of Ningxia now, and there must be many soldiers and horses, if they do not turn west at this time, they are afraid that the Tatars will break through the pass and plunder the border and disturb the people, and then it will be out of control. He also asked Baoguo Gong to put the overall situation first, dispatch troops and horses as soon as possible to cut off his rear road, and complete the internal and external attacks. ”

Zhu Hui was still looking at some information on the table, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Cui Yuan with eyes that seemed to be looking at a monster.

It's even a little bit of pity for Cui Yuan.

"Maoren, the matter of marching should be based on the commander's order first, it is true that you are a relative of the emperor, but Your Majesty did not let you supervise how the commander marched, right?"

Zhu Hui did not directly tear his face with Cui Yuan, although Cui Yuan had repeatedly challenged his authority.

In other words, those ordinary generals have to look up to him in the army, after all, it is related to the future of this group of people, and probably the person who has the most to worry about the future in the army is Cui Yuan.

Because Cui Yuan had "no future", he was temporarily brought to the military to fill the number.

Cui Yuan lowered his head and said, "It's just a suggestion below." ”

"Your suggestion is very inappropriate." Zhu Hui's tone became cold and said, "Can you say that the Tatars are gathering south because of Zhang Lun's report?" What if the Tatars just shot a false shot? It was already two or three days ago that he had met the enemy, or a hundred or two hundred miles away, do you know where the Tatars are now? ”

"I ......" Cui Yuan felt speechless.

Zhu Hui was even more arrogant and said: "Even if Zhang Lun's report is not bad, and the Tatars really have the intention of attacking Ningxia to besiege Wei and save Zhao, do you dare to guarantee that they will not ambush us along the way?" If they had the intention to attack Ningxia, would they be so easily exposed to me that the night of the Ming Dynasty would not be known? Still fighting us head-on so clearly? In other words, do you think Zhang Lun first went to the battlefield, why did he find out about the enemy? ”

Cui Yuan was directly silent this time.

Zhu Hui finished speaking, and his tone softened slightly: "Maoren, you are still inexperienced, you need to be experienced, and you have to listen to me many times." It's like this time, things can't be rushed, we only have 20,000 elite soldiers under our command, so rashly kill the past, in case it is a plan for the Tartars to divert the tiger from the mountain, then I can't gather troops in one place, and the consequences will be more serious. ”

Cui Yuan said: "I'm afraid that in the end, it will be the opposite direction." ”

Zhu Hui said with a smile: "In this way, Ben Shuai will send people to investigate the enemy's situation, and he must first verify to ensure that the Tatars are really here, and then mobilize people from all walks of life." You must not be in a hurry, this will teach you a little truth. ”

"Please advise." Cui Yuan is still very humble.

Zhu Hui said: "Even if the Tatars are really in Ningxia, we must first let the local defenders go to fight them first, first eliminate the Tatars' spirit, and then we will kill them." As the saying goes, to avoid its edge, you may not know the strength of the Tatar cavalry, it is quite ...... Ahem, not to be underestimated. ”

"Huh?"

Cui Yuan thought that Zhu Hui was going to teach him some philosophy of life, but when he heard this, he was taken aback.

This is the coach of Daming? A famous general who commands the three armies?

Let others do it if you send it to death, and lead your own troops to pick up ready-made ones? What do you want to "avoid its edge" so clearly? You don't have an army of 50,000, you wait for others to come up...... Do you want to face?

"The three armies must not be without a commander, and they must listen to their own commander." Zhu Hui emphasized, "Don't worry, this war will definitely give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." Either the Tartars don't come, or they dare to come, it will definitely give you the opportunity to make a contribution on the battlefield, I appreciate you. ”

Cui Yuan lowered his head, this time he disdained to look at Zhu Hui.

He wondered in his heart, who will use you to appreciate?

Your Majesty appreciates me, and that is my honor.

Even the king of the household department admires me, and his face is bright, and I don't even expect Cai Guogong to appreciate me...... Because I know that I am not strong enough, as for you...... You love to admire who appreciates who goes.

"Baoguo Gong, there is only one request below." Cui Yuandao.

"Say." Zhu Huizhi was complacent, and he felt that he had persuaded Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan said: "If you really want to fight with the Tatars, and you don't want to stay in the rear, please let you lead all the way to Xia." Even if you have no experience, even if you are ...... It's okay to be in danger. ”

Zhu Hui was slightly puzzled: "...... you do this?"

He wanted to ask, did your wife agree to this? In the end, I won the battle and planted you in it, so I won't be counted as a big deal in the end, right?

"Okay, ambitious. I will definitely give you this opportunity. Zhu Hui said casually.

He was thinking in his heart, let's talk about it when I really meet the enemy, and as long as I don't want to fight, I basically can't fight. (End of chapter)
