"Huh? Mandu Lu went south? ”

Jia Hui, who got up every morning and looked at the map every day, saw that tens of thousands of people in the north began to move south.

Can't wait any longer!

Jia Hui hurriedly turned over and got out of bed.

"General, what's the matter..."The soldiers standing guard outside the door saw Jia Hui hurriedly push open the door, and were a little puzzled.

"Quick, go and gather Lin Chong and them, and come to my big tent to discuss after the order!" Jia Hui gave a word to his soldiers, and left the barracks without looking back.

。。。。。。

"It's rare to see you arrive so early, and it feels like a thank you for not coming in with a little thread on weekdays." Yun Yu held a cup of hot tea and sat back on the chair with a comfortable face.

"The last general will see the big handsome!" Jia Hui didn't hear it, stood in the center of the big tent, and saluted Yun Yu.

"Excuse me, sit, you came so early, did you have something to look for me?" Yun Yu put down the teacup and straightened up to look at Jia Hui.

"Yes, the last general thinks that now that our army is almost ready for training, it's time to go north to fight, right?"

Yun Yu glanced at Jia Hui.

"I thought you were going to wait until they were together before fighting, why, are you finally going to fight?"

"Yes, our army is almost finished training, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, then Bilig Khan will transfer the rest of the troops and horses to the south to support, and if you fight at that time, there will be more variables."

Jia Hui replied.

"Heh, I really don't know what to say about you, I don't rush when I should be in a hurry, and I am in a hurry when things come to an end! I don't have any new information at night! Yun Yu leaned forward and stared at Jia Hui coldly.

Jia Hui broke out in a cold sweat.

The big tent fell silent suddenly,

The sweat on his forehead condensed into beads, and little by little he flowed down Jia Hui's chin.

A drop of sweat dripped onto the armor.

Jia Hui nodded with difficulty.

"Yes, the remnant Yuan Bilig Khan has issued an order to Mandulu in the north..."

"Huh." Yun Yu sat back in her chair.

"You have an advantage and a disadvantage." Yun Yu picked up the tea bowl again.

"You will make all the preparations you can before the battle, prepare weapons, repair armor, build equipment, mobilize supplies, and even think about the coordination of various departments in advance, so that they can cooperate in training, which is very good." Yun Yu drained the tea in the bowl.

"But, how much you look down on your quartermasters! How you despise your robes!

There is no shortage of veterans of your quartermaster who have participated in many Northern Expeditions, and you name it, they have even been doing it silently for decades! Your robes are also the elite of Daqi, and they have long been running in the march after leaving Huaihuang Town!

Do you think you're smart? Do you think you're thinking of something stupid enough that they need to be reminded of it? I know you're cautious, but please give your robes more trust!

Do you know how helpless your quartermasters look when they come out of your tent to report to me?

You are so arrogant! ”

Yun Yu slammed the tea bowl on the table.

"Besides, you're procrastinating! A few days ago, the army was almost ready to run in, but you still stayed for another two days, do you know how many times you delayed the fighters? I couldn't wait to pump you for the first two days!

When there are not many people, you don't fight, and you say you're not ready. Now that Mandu Lu has gone south, you want to start fighting. ”

Yun Yu leaned back in his chair again.

Jia Hui sat on a needle cushion, looking at the ground blankly, and the thoughts in his mind flashed wildly.

Am I arrogant enough to look down on the abilities of others? Am I really procrastinating? Since when?

Yun Yu looked at Jia Hui, whose eyes were blank, and sighed.

"Alas, the old man knows what you think, and your actions are all good, but you can't do this, how can there be a time in this world when you are completely ready? When you come to me to check your schoolwork, are you really all ready? It's not that I'm sitting there with my eyes looking around, and I'm stumbling on my back! After Yun Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Hui angrily.

"Actually, when the old man read your diary on the plateau, he found out, what are you prepared for? The preparations that should be made, you have already prepared before going to the plateau, why do you have to rest for a day, prepare for a day, and rest for two days when you get to the plateau, don't you know that the higher you go, the colder the plateau becomes? Why don't you rush more and complete the raid as soon as possible?

Okay, let's not talk about the plateau, I have also read your battle report, you have done well enough, the first time you walked this road, the cold, the water and soil adaptation, and miasma, I also understand, and thanks to your preparation and rest, the non-war damage has been reduced to this level, and I will not do better than you.

But this is not a plateau, your grandfather alone has been here no less than five times, the supply system is mature, and the environment and terrain have long been touched, to put it mildly, even if you lose, you can still run to Huaihuang Town and Yanshan Mountain in the south, what do you have to worry about? ”

"The last general, the last general..."

"Forget it, you are only 18 years old, and no one in this world calls Huo Quai.

You have remembered for me, in this world, how can there be any 10% preparation? Aren't they all about preparing a rough plan, grabbing the fighter plane and rushing to it? This kind of thing is tacit, just a few more battles, the fighter is the most important, the few days you wasted really shouldn't be, but you read that you are a habit that you developed because of the plateau, and the intelligence is unknown, I won't punish you, remember, this is the last time. After Yun Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Jia Hui hurriedly said yes.

This matter is said to be delaying the fighter, but fortunately, Yun Yu has already set the tone for himself, the intelligence is unknown, and he does not dare to take the enemy lightly, and no one will talk about himself in the future, which really saved his own life.

"Okay, go back and sit down, and give me a twelve-point fight for the next battle, or you try!"

Jia Hui promised, quickly stood up, returned to his low stool, and wiped his forehead with his cuffs.

It didn't take long for the chiefs of all the ministries to gather in the festival hall to make a ceremony.

Yun Yu opened his eyes, glanced at the generals, and spoke.

"Before, the information of the Remnant Yuan Royal Court was unknown, and he didn't dare to rush in easily, but now the situation is clear, it's time to attack, Jia Hui!"

Jia Hui hurriedly got up.

"The last general!"

"You command!"

"Obey!" Jia Hui looked around, no one objected, nodded, and continued.

"At present, there are more than a million herdsmen entrenched in the Remnant Yuan Royal Court, but there are only about 180,000 soldiers in battle, as long as we defeat these 180,000 regular soldiers, they will definitely flee with their own people in all directions.

The day after tomorrow is the dark moon, I want to lead the army to run 400 miles, raid Xilinhot, the rest of the infantry march closely behind, drive the remnants of millions of herdsmen scattered! ”

After speaking, Jia Hui looked back at Yun Yu, Yun Yu glanced at the map, counted the time, and nodded.

"So let's do it, what are you still doing? Hurry up and get ready! ”

"The last general commands!" The generals in the tent got up and agreed, and hurriedly went out of the camp tent to prepare to pull out the camp.

"Yes, it's simple and crude, but it's very effective, but how to fight exactly?"

"I don't know the general, I don't know when I will be able to arrive, what kind of play will be, I'll talk about it when I arrive."

"That's right, how can there be so many plans, when it comes to this kind of hard encounter, aren't they all on the spot, if you tell me today when to attack and where to attack, from which direction to break through, and draw a formation map for me, hey, then you don't want to lead the troops alone in your life." Yun Yu nodded.

The grassland operation and the Central Plains operation are still different, the Central Plains operation must take into account the terrain, the preparation time is much longer than the head-to-head confrontation, and there are many variables before the battle, and there are many ways to fight on the same terrain, water attack, fire attack, and so on.

But the grassland is different, the terrain is flat and open, the few mountains are not high, the terrain is relatively single, the water attack does not have that condition, the fire attack is easy to burn itself, as for the lack of food? What do millions of herders eat?

As for attacking the heart, the emperor has almost ruined the international reputation of Daqi, and he is too lazy to talk about it, and their subordinates are all together, surrounded by scouts, and the condor archers are all on the peripheral lookouts, not to mention carrier pigeons and eagles, sparrows can't fly in, and rumors are not easy to spread.

Formulate? Now the people who are still attached to the Khan Court are all die-hards, and those who can oppose it have already rebelled, can they wait until now?

Therefore, there are only two options left, head-to-head confrontation and sneak attack, head-to-head confrontation during the day, sneak attack at night, nothing else.

Fortunately, due to the last Northern Expedition, Yuanting lost almost all the craftsmen, and the newly built city wall of Xilinhot cannot be said to be none, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

A 4-meter-high pile of gravel mixed with mud and grass.

Although there are mountains and rocks near Xilinhot, they have lost the ability to build a city wall, so they can only let a few apprentices and construction enthusiasts with two knives and masons finally get a city wall out, and even slag will fall on rainy days.

Compared with the brick and stone walls of the upper capital, it is shabby.

。。。。。。

"Inferior rank to the general!" When Lin Chong and the others saw that Jia Hui was back, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

For Guan Sheng and Lin Chong, Jia Hui, who single-handedly promoted them from the nine-rank petty official to the five-grade direct subordinate to the thousand households, is their Bole benefactor, and in the eyes of others, the three of them are Jia Hui's absolute cronies.

In this regard, the three of them did not have any objection, but were very happy.

Not to mention Jia Hui's own achievements, background and personality, and never deduct the military exploits of his subordinates.

Relying on Jia Hui's ability alone, all of them who are over thirty years old and have nothing to do are willing, this will call the Lord willingly.

"Ah, here you are, then, the war is going to begin, and in a little time you will go and tell the brethren to draw out the camp. Next, we must march four hundred miles in a hurry, hurry up and prepare, and set off at the right time! ”

The three of them agreed and hurriedly rushed back to the camp to pack their things.

Jia Hui also began to pack up his things, and his clothes and luggage were packed by his own soldiers, and the main thing he cleaned up was the military books and documents on the table.

After sorting the military books and notes separately, and about to pack up the armor and weapons, the commanders of the horse army came to Jia Hui's barracks.

"Dusi, I'll wait to draw lots."

The commander of the Ma Army sent by Ningxia Town, the son of Ningxia General You Gui, is also an old acquaintance of Jia Hui.

"Yo, isn't this Master Yoda, come, one person and one paper ball, it depends on luck whether you leave or stay, don't be anxious, don't splash!" Jia Hui took a small clay pot from the table, which contained the note he had written a long time ago.

With an army of 200,000, Yun Yu decided to leave 50,000 people as a reserve to stay in the capital city just in case, 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry.

During Taizu's sixth Northern Expedition, the commander of the year rushed into the enemy's rash attack and crashed headlong into the encirclement of the remnant Yuan Khan and Zayadu Khan of that year, and did not rush out of the siege for a total of 17 times.

At that time, the army was on the shore of the fishing sea, and the nearest army of Daqi was also thousands of miles away, and no one came to help, and after four days of desperate resistance, the whole army was annihilated.

Jia Yan, the old lady of the East Mansion next door, was also under siege as the deputy marshal, if it weren't for Jiao Da's loyal protector to fight his way out of the encirclement with the old lady on his back, maybe he would have folded on the grassland.

Since then, no matter what is said, the army will leave a group of people as a reserve, not far and close to the army, and there will be scouts to contact at regular intervals. And it is guaranteed that it will be able to reach the location of the army within two days of the rapid march.

But after all, it is a reserve, and the military merits have nothing to do with themselves, so it has become an unwritten rule in the Daqi army to decide who is the reserve by drawing lots.

It's all luck, no one can say anything, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Of course, if the army is victorious and the reserves are not useful, the troops participating in the battle will give excess military merit to the reserves.

For example, 10 heads can get me promoted, but I have 12 heads, and the next promotion will be to recount 20 heads, which is equivalent to two extra heads that are useless. simply gave it to the reserves, and when they ate meat, they always had to leave soup for others, so that they could see each other in the future.

After all, the devil knows if the next reserve will be himself.

As a result, it became an unspoken rule of the Daqi military to distribute it to the reserves.

As the commander of the Ma army, the drawing of lots for the entire Ma army was carried out in Jia Hui's camp.

"Okay, let's get started, shall we?"

"Let's get started!" The commanders of the Ma army also surrounded him.

Jia Hui actually showed the clay pot back and forth in front of everyone's eyes a few times, and then turned it up and down a few times, and showed the clay pot again.

"Alright, who's going first?"

"I'm coming!" Yoda replied.

"Cheng, Master Yoda, please first!"

Although I don't know why Jia Hui called himself "Master Yoda" from the first time they met, but seeing that Jia Hui didn't have any bad thoughts, and he liked the title of master very much, Yoda let Jia Hui call himself "Master Yoda".

Yoda stepped forward, twisted his fingers and used his fingernails to bring out a paper ball, and everyone gathered around, staring at the paper ball in Yoda's hand.

As soon as the word "war" came out, Yoda breathed a sigh of relief, but the people around him became nervous.

It is said that there are 3,000 battalions, but the actual number of each battalion is about 5,000, and the 12 regiments and battalions have a total of 60,000 people, plus the horse army of each border army, a total of 27,000 people, a total of 87,000 horse troops.

There are almost two people who are going to stay, and if all of them are drawn to the border army, then there will be another round of draws.

Everyone grabbed the paper ball one by one and opened it with a serious face.

"Stay?" The prince's heart was half cold.

Didn't he go to Beijing to come to Beijing just to have a chance to turn over?

But as soon as this paper ball comes out, if nothing else, it will have to be boiled for several more years.

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Hui anxiously, wanting him to come forward to help him speak.

Jia Hui also saw Wang Ziteng's action of asking for help, and shook his head, saying that he couldn't help.

If you meddle in this problem and break the rules, how will you behave in the military in the future?

At least Wang Ziteng is not qualified to let himself interfere.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, with Wang Ziteng's performance in Datong a while ago, he was really worried that Wang Ziteng would be able to draw the "battle".

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Hui with an expression of "I can't help you", and reluctantly accepted the facts.

He asked Jia Hui for help because he had the mentality of playing two poles with dates and no dates, and it was naturally good to be able to help, and it was expected that he could not help.

Although he really wanted to make a contribution, Wang Ziteng was still relieved in his heart.

Soon, the results came in.

Wang Ziteng on the Beijing camp, Liaodong and Gansu towns of the border army, a total of 11,000 people remained.

After asking again and again, and getting an answer that everyone had no objections, Jia Hui wrote the names of the remaining people on the list and sent his own soldiers to Yun Yu.

"Okay, it's okay, brothers, go and prepare to pull out the camp!"

The people agreed and returned to their respective camps.

At the end of the day, the army was assembled, Yun Yu gave an order in front of the army, handed over the command to Jia Hui, and with an order, the 150,000 army marched north with firm and powerful steps.
