Li Xuan said with a smile: "Ambushing Polo once in this private housing area, I am afraid that it will kill and injure thousands of Tartars, and then Your Majesty's prestige will skyrocket again." ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "That's not good, if there is a repeat and a second, there is no repeat and a fourth." If Polo dies a few thousand more, he will run away with whatever he says.

That is not my original intention, what I want is to annihilate Polo's army of 20,000 and personally cut off the heads of the three Polo brothers.

Be sure to leave a good story in the history books of 'The new monarch broke the formation and killed the three kings'. Only in this way can my prestige be raised even higher, high enough to sustain me in the pacification of the world. ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he raised his own question: "Your Majesty's idea is indeed very grand, but the Warat cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and they can run away without a trace in a while." It's easy to defeat them, but if you want to annihilate 16,000 people, Your Majesty won't let you attack the camp, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly: "Huaiyi is right, so we still have to start with psychological warfare." On the one hand, it is to continue to drive a wedge between Yexian and Polo, and Ling Ye first put pressure on Polo to force Polo to fight with us.

On the other hand, we have to fish for Polo, so that he can't run away, and can only fight us to the death. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Xinjun curiously. Even He Yi couldn't help but ask, "How does Your Majesty plan to catch Polo?" He didn't seem to have any reason to fight to the death. ”

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the Beijing city wall under everyone's feet: "Let people build a high platform here, and after three days, the 4,000 heads we cut will be built here after the street is finished, and a small Beijing temple will be built."

When the time comes, even if Polo wants to run, his subordinates will absolutely refuse. Then let's write a war letter again, and ask the three Polo brothers to lead their subordinates to fight for honor.

They won, took the gates, and got everything back. They lost, all died, lost everything.

We agreed with Polo in advance that in the end, only one party could live, and whoever escapes is a coward. I believe that the Mongolian Iron Cavalry still has a sense of faith and honor. ”

He Yi continued to ask: "Can Polo agree?" ”

"Yes, if he doesn't agree, we'll force him to agree. If he does not dare to fight, we will send troops to his camp every day to insult and mock him, and he will one day be unable to bear it.

And we provoke him again, and he now has sixteen thousand men. On our side, there are 8,000 people in Yingzhou Wei, 5,000 elite border troops in Yuantu City, and 3,000 people in the elite Shenji Battalion, which adds up to exactly 16,000 people.

I can solemnly promise Polo in the war book that I will only use these 16,000 men against his 16,000 men, and the rest of the Ming army will not be allowed to participate in the war, regardless of victory or defeat.

Such an equal number of people is very fair, if he still does not dare to fight, even in Mongolia in the future, his reputation will be stinking. ”

When He Yi heard this, he shook his head and praised: "Your Majesty really understands people's hearts, and Weichen really admires it." ”

Although He Yi said this, what he thought in his heart was: The emperor of my family is really lacking in virtue and has arrived at home, how can he be so immoral. Well, but I like such a ridiculous monarch who lacks virtue and talks about credibility. It is much stronger than the emperor on the other side who will only put the minister in prison, but does not dare to kill him.

He Yi's words in his heart are to the point, and now Hu Hu, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian, who are detained by Emperor Zhu Qizhen in the Wara camp, have all been imprisoned by Zhu Qizhen.

The problem with Zhu Qizhen is that you lock people in, and you don't kill people, and you don't dismiss people, and you will continue to use them after a while.

What is this for? Isn't this teasing people?

Maybe Zhu Qizhen himself wants to play with power, and use both grace and power.

But the actual result can only be to make the ministers despise the emperor: either you are fine and don't toss people; Either you just don't do anything, dismiss the official and kill people. The most annoying thing is Zhu Qizhen's kind, who does it and doesn't do it thoroughly, cowardly but not thoroughly, swaying back and forth, which will only make people look down on him.

At the same time that Zhu Qiyu was discussing the strategy with his cronies in the city, Zhu Qizhen was also in the Chinese army camp in Wara, and he was discussing the next plan first.

The scene in the tent is rather strange and counterintuitive: Zhu Qizhen is there gushing about various battle plans and visions for the future, and he first sits there calmly, listening quietly and nodding politely.

Yexian, who had been carried away by the previous victory, has now calmed down.

After calming down and thinking about the current situation, I first realized one problem: this battle cannot be won no matter what. Originally, after the defeat of Tumu, the people of the capital were panicked, and the Wara army was fully capable of capturing the capital in one go.

However, he also made a ghost to grind in Shanxi for two months, giving the Ming court enough time to prepare for war. Now the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally deployed this night attack and killed more than 4,000 people.

For an army of 80,000 people, 4,000 people were killed in battle, but this defeat led to an extremely bad consequence: the people in Beijing did not panic. Although the people's confidence in the new king is still insufficient, at least they are not so afraid of Warat.

When the people in Beijing are calm, it is their turn to panic first. Because next, as long as the Ming Dynasty adopts the tactics of shrinking and relying on 200,000 troops and sufficient supplies, even if the lives of the 80,000 troops of Wara are fully filled, they will not be able to break the big turtle shell of Beijing City in any way.

I finally realized that I was wrong from the beginning, and I made a wrong step, a wrong step. If life can be started again, the moment Zhu Qizhen is captured, all the young and middle-aged people in Warat should be pressed and Beijing should be taken in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that life can't be started again, and those who have been discouraged are also the first, listening to Zhu Qizhen's chatter and self-touching there, and he has to flatter him:

"Your Majesty is still mighty, and he really brought Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian, the three important ministers, to the camp and successfully detained them.

Now that the city is missing these three important ministers, it is missing three pillars, and then the central command will inevitably be poor and fall into chaos, so we can take advantage of the situation to attack. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened to Ye Xian's flattery, and his eyebrows danced even more, this Emperor Taishang really overestimated the importance of the three ministers in the eyes of Xinjun.

What Zhu Qizhen didn't expect was that his good brother Zhu Qiyu wished that Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, Yu Qian, Shang Lu, Peng Shi, Xiang Wenyao, Li Xian, Li Shi and others would be as far away from Beijing as possible.

None of these people are loyal to the new monarch, except for those who are eye-to-eye, they are worried about the military power of the capital. On the contrary, he seemed to be the most loyal to Xinjun first, and he had been helping Zhu Qiyu from beginning to end.

In order to repay the peach, Zhu Qiyu decided to promote the Zhencai and the Jingcai.
