Chapter 324: Pretending to be a perfect force
Quiet, quiet, frighteningly quiet.
Zhu Di's eyes widened, as if he had seen some peerless treasure, and even his breathing became a little heavy.
The generals of Zhu Neng, Shengyong, and Zhang Fu had complicated expressions, with shock in their eyes, but more of them were ashamed.
Chen Kan's expression was a little suspicious, and the way these people looked at him made him feel that he was likely to be targeted.
It's like a pure little sheep falling into the den of a big bad wolf.
Zhu Di gave the generals a look imperceptibly, signaling everyone to be calm.
Then he looked at Chen Kan and asked quietly: "Chen boy, if you were to command this war, how would you fight?" ”
Seeing the look of confusion on Chen Kan's face, Zhu Di hurriedly added: "What I said was a detailed combat method, what you just said was too general and not detailed enough. ”
"Oh!"
Chen Kan suddenly realized, it seems that his three different playing styles that he plagiarized from later generations have been recognized by Zhu Di?
In that case, get out of the way, I'm going to pretend!
"Ahem!"
Clearing his throat, Chen Kan pretended to groan.
After a while, Chen Kan pulled the globe in front of him, and his fingers followed the red line he had just drawn to Annan itself.
"Your Majesty, generals, please see, this is the place where Thang Long City, the kingdom of Annam, is located."
The eyes of Zhu Di and the generals followed Chen Kan's fingers on the city, and their eyes were full of contemplation.
Zhu Di said: "Shenglong City, and then what?" ”
Chen Kan suddenly showed a solemn expression on his face: "Your Majesty, generals, the next words of the kid are all based on = the boy's imagination, if there is something wrong, please don't laugh at Your Majesty and the generals." ”
Zhu Neng stroked his beard and smiled: "No one will laugh at you, just say it." ”
Seeing that everyone's attention was all on him, Chen Kan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Look, the place where Thang Long City is located is less than two hundred miles away from the coast, and my Ming elite can march in three days to come to the city.
The boy's idea is very simple, that is, I Ming will land on the mainland of Annam by transporting troops by warship, and the soldiers will rest on the ship, and there will be no pain of long-distance marching or fierce battle against the enemy.
The rapid march of three days approached the city, quickly captured Thang Long City with the power of artillery, and defended the city to support the battle.
Later, two teams of scouts were sent to spread the news that Li Jili had been awarded the head and that the Ming Dynasty had captured Thang Long City, so as to recruit the noble landlords and bureaucrats in the south of Annan.
All the way to the north, spread the rumor that all the land of Annan had fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, disturbing Li Jili's mind.
Knowing that Thang Long City was broken and the southern territory was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jili would inevitably come to the rescue, as long as he dared to turn back, the Marquis of Xiping could take the opportunity to go to the north and south of An.
The Marquis of Xiping pursued at the tail of the tail, and Thang Long City waved his army north, and under the attack of the two sides, it was not difficult to eat the Li Ji plowmen who were already in chaos.
When the whole army under Li Jili was wiped out, Annan, who was not guarded by a large army, was just a toothless tiger, and most places could be passed on.
In this way, there is no need to waste our Ming logistics grain and grass, and the soldiers do not have to suffer from the fierce battle in the rainforest, which can be called killing two birds with one stone. ”
"Gollum ......"
As soon as Chen Kan's voice fell, the sound of everyone swallowing saliva sounded in the hall.
After saying so many words in one breath, Chen Kan felt a little thirsty, so he motioned to the little eunuch on the side to bring him a cup of tea.
Looking back, he found that everyone was still shocked, Chen Kan pondered for a moment, and added: "Blitz attack on the enemy's capital, this tactics kid calls him blitzkrieg, and uses fake news to confuse people's minds, and the kid calls it public opinion warfare."
It's all a kid who came up with it, and I don't know if it's useful, the kid just talks about it, and His Majesty and the generals listen to it in vain. ”
After speaking, Chen Kan's eyes rolled to confirm that this forced force had been pretended perfectly, and then he took the hot tea in the little eunuch's hand and took a sip.
A plausible hodgepodge of tactics successfully frightened Zhu Di and the generals led by Zhu Neng.
At this moment, the hall is so quiet that it can be heard that a needle is falling.
Except for the sound of Chen Kan sipping tea, only the heavy wheezing sound of the generals remained.
They had to admit that the tactics proposed by Chen Kan were the only way to resolve the Annan Rebellion in the shortest possible time and reduce the battle losses to the minimum.
Why did Zhu Di have to conquer Annan?
And also sent Zhu Neng, the pillar of the country, which can be called a general of nuclear deterrence?
Isn't what he wants is a quick and beautiful victory, so as to enhance his prestige among the people?
It is no exaggeration to say that the plan proposed by Chen Kan perfectly hit every pain point of Zhu Di.
First of all, it is fast, as soon as you land, you will break through the capital of other people, and I will ask you if you are fast?
The second is to win beautifully, only to fight a hard battle with Li Jili, and other places in Annan can be passed on, so I ask you if you are beautiful?
Even Zhu Di had to admit that after listening to Chen Kan's plan, he couldn't think of a more perfect tactic.
The only difficulty with this solution is that it is too difficult to operate.
Whether it is to break through the enemy's capital as quickly as possible or send people out to deliver news, and then send people to contact Mu Sheng to march.
The general must be very precise in controlling the battle situation, once a certain link is not connected, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
Once there is a mistake, the 30,000 troops who landed at sea will easily become alone.
Even the 100,000 troops under Mu Sheng's command are likely to fall into a fierce battle.
But...... There is no perfect way to do it.
Compared with the results that this tactic may bring, that little difficulty does not seem to be a difficult point.
What's more, Zhu Neng is famous for his delicate mind and use of soldiers like a god, and this tactic is as if it was tailor-made for him.
"Smack~"
In the main hall, sporadic applause suddenly sounded.
"Pap~Pap~Pap~"
After a few moments, the applause suddenly erupted.
Zhu Neng patted Chen Kan's shoulder, with undisguised appreciation in his eyes: "Ben Jiang originally wanted to say that heroes are teenagers, but I feel that the phrase tiger father without dog son seems to be more suitable for you." ”
Zhu Neng's strength was very strong, and when he slapped down, Chen Kan only felt that half of his body was unconscious.
Tremblingly, he put down the teacup in his hand and said with a forced smile: "Cheng Guogong has a reputation, the kid is just talking nonsense, and please don't let Cheng Guogong be spoiled by the kid's nonsense." ”
Zhu Neng's eyebrows jumped: "This is all nonsense, it will be a wine bag and a rice bag." ”
With a sigh of emotion, Zhu Neng turned his head to look at Zhu Di and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jinghaihou's method is feasible." ”
Zhu Di bowed: "I also think it is feasible." ”
Even the two bigwigs felt that this method was feasible, and the rest naturally had no opinions.
After a while, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Neng, rubbed his chin and said: "Since it is not necessary to logistics people by sea, then I can give you another 20,000 troops, a total of 50,000 people, so that there is room for turnaround, and then equip each ship with an artillery." ”
Zhu Neng's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "In this way, the minister is sure to calm Annan within half a year." ”
"Then it's decided."
Zhu Di made the final decision.
Chen Kan arched his hand towards Zhu Di and asked, "Your Majesty, since there is nothing to do with the minister, can the minister go?" ”
Zhu Di just wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered that Chen Kan was also in charge of the cannon.
He asked with some trepidation: "It's okay to equip every warship with a cannon, right?" ”
Chen Kan bowed: "No problem! ”
Of course, there is no problem, there are no new guns, and the old Hongwu cannons are not a lot of them.
Not to mention that there are a lot of scattered artillery pieces cast in recent years, it is said that the Hongwu cannon cast in the tenth year of Hongwu in preparation for the Northern Expedition is enough to equip an artillery regiment.
The south is high and densely forested, and the troublesome but powerful artillery is just right for use in the south, and the north has a wide field of vision, which is more suitable for firearms.
After receiving Chen Kan's exact answer, Zhu Di suddenly changed his face.
", I'll be angry when I see you now."
Chen Kan rolled his eyes vaguely and muttered, "Who wants to see you." ”
Scolded and walked out of the palace gate, Chen Kan paused.
for he saw a gloomy face.
Chen Kan raised his eyebrows, walked in front of the visitor, circled around him, and then arched his hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Han, when did His Highness return to Beijing?" ”
The person who came was Zhu Gaoxu, dressed in pitch-black fish scale armor, leading a tall cyan horse, and the whole person exuded a fierce smell.
Of course, what Chen Kan smelled was a pungent smell of sweat mixed with the smell of blood.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Chen Kan expressionlessly, and said in a loud voice: "Just arrived." ”
"Tsk~"
Chen Kan couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness still goes to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to report, it is the right thing to sacrifice to the Taimiao Temple first, if you want to see Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be better to wait." ”
Chen Kan's words can definitely be regarded as kind advice, Zhu Di has too many things to do today, and he may not be able to find time to meet Zhu Gaoxu.
Even if he can spare time, Zhu Di has just made Zhu Gaochi the crown prince, and he did not hesitate to send this son to the grassland for this reason, but he must have felt guilty and had no face to meet him.
But in the face of Chen Kan's kind reminder, Zhu Gaoxu turned a deaf ear and just waited silently at the palace gate.
Chen Kan shook his head, seeing that he didn't listen to the advice, he didn't bother to care anymore.
Walked straight to the carriage with the sign of Jinghaihou, and planned to go home.
"Jinghai Hou, please stay!"
Chen Kan's footsteps paused, and when he looked back, Zhu Gaoxu had already led the war horse over.
Chen Kan pursed his lips: "When did His Royal Highness the King of Han become so polite?" ”
You must know that in the past, if Zhu Gaoxu wanted to keep Chen Kan, he did it directly, how could he use honorifics, not to mention the word invitation.
Zhu Gaoxu's face remained unchanged, and he asked lightly: "This king heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is about to worship you as a teacher?" ”
Chen Kan nodded: "Yes, it's today." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, but after a while, he only sighed slightly.
Chen Kan was greatly surprised, if it was in the past, Zhu Gaoxu would not have to make a fuss, pulling his neck and asking why he wanted to help that dead fat man.
Why did you suddenly change sex today?
Is this silent haggard man really Zhu Gaoxu?
Chen Kan stared at him suspiciously, a little unaccustomed for a while.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't have anything to say?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chen Kan in surprise: "What does this king have to say?" ”
"Okay, there's nothing to say, then Your Highness, you can wait here slowly, Ben Hou will leave first."
As soon as he bowed his hand to Zhu Gaoxu, Chen Kan got into the carriage without hesitation and rushed home.
Seeing Chen Kan's carriage go away, Zhu Gaoxu's tightly knit brows relaxed, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Then beckoned Hu Cong to whisper a few words, and continued to stand at the gate of the palace as the door god.
Chen Kan returned home, took off his official uniform and threw it to the maid, then climbed into bed and prepared to sleep.
I didn't sleep well in the palace just now.
As for Zhu Gaochi taking Zhu Zhanji to apprentice, it is still early, and they will not come for a while.
After sleeping until noon, when Chen Kan got up from the bed, he was already covered in stinky sweat.
It's hot in Jiangnan, it hasn't rained for a few days, and people are sweating at any time.
After taking a cold shower, Chen Kan walked out of the room and came to the auditorium to start eating.
Before he could eat a few bites, he heard Yun Cheng report that His Royal Highness the Prince's honor guard had arrived.
Chen Kan looked at the sky and couldn't help frowning.
This Royal Highness the Crown Prince really knows how to pick a time, does he have to pick the hottest time of the day?
But...... After all, the identity of the monarch and the minister was here, and Chen Kan had to reluctantly get up and go out.
"Command to go down, open the middle door, and greet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Chen Kan's weak voice sounded, and with the squeaky sound of the gate of the Hou Mansion, a big fat figure leading a small fat figure also came into Chen Kan's eyes.
Chen Kan stepped out of the threshold and said weakly: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he has seen His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. ”
The little fat dun squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Kan, and Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Kan up: "Yuansheng, why do you and I have to be so vain?" ”
Chen Kanshen thought so, and didn't care about any etiquette, grabbed Zhu Gaochi and walked to the house, saying as he walked: "Come in and come in, it's too hot outside, and people are getting hot." ”
As for the little fat dun, he was already familiar with the way and ran towards the house.
All the way to the auditorium, Zhu Zhanji had already turned out a basket of golden apricots and flowers, and he was overflowing with juice.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, the Hou Mansion is shining, come here, set up a banquet!"
Chen Kan didn't have enough to eat just now, and now he eats something good under the pretext of entertaining the prince, which is completely reasonable.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stopped: "No, no, Yuansheng, you also know that Gu has just been canonized as a prince not long ago, and the affairs in the East Palace are complicated, and he really can't get out of the way, if it weren't for the matter of apprenticeship today, Gu would not have had a chance to get out of the East Palace." ”
Chen Kan squinted at him: "No matter how busy the East Palace is, there is no rule of not even eating a bite of food when you go to other people's houses as guests, right?" ”
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "There is no such rule, it is really a trivial matter now, when he straightens out the affairs of the East Palace, he will definitely come to the door to make amends, okay?" ”
In view of Zhu Gaochi's sincere attitude, Chen Kan did not force it, and he also knew that Zhu Gaochi did not lie to him, and there were indeed many things in the East Palace.
Waving his hand, signaling that Yun Cheng didn't have to set up a banquet, Chen Kan turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy, it is not good for the minister to keep ......."
