Xia Xun thought nervously, the person in front of him was not an innocent child like Zhu Yunwen, Fang Xiaoru drew a beautiful blueprint for Zhu Yunwen that was impossible to realize, and Brother Wei was fluttering, but Brother Di was different, he was very shrewd, so he couldn't fool him, and Zhu Di is now facing a tenfold enemy, what kind of strategy is the right one to adopt Xia Xun slowly sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Beiping is where His Highness's foundation is, and there must be no room for loss, otherwise the foundation will be gone, the army's spirit will be lost, and the defeat of His Highness will be inevitable."
Zhu Di nodded heavily and said: "Yes, the problem is here, no matter what, Beiping must be held, but if this king guards Beiping, it will only be a matter of time before he is defeated."
Xia Xun said: "Yes, the disparity in strength is too great, the 500,000 troops of the imperial court, even if they fill it with human lives, they can pile up a broad road directly on the city wall of Beiping, if Your Highness blindly guards Beiping, this city will become a cage for Your Highness sooner or later." ” Zhu Di intersected his fists and palms, made a "snap" sound, gritted his teeth and said: "Beiping can't be unguarded, and if you defend hard, you will fail, Wenxuan, do you have any clever plans?"
Xia Xun said: "To solve this problem, there is only one way, Beiping must be defended, but His Royal Highness cannot stay in the city." ” Zhu Di was stunned, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "What Wenxuan means is to send people to defend Beiping, and this king will lead the army to swim outside to contain the enemy's troops, which are in my hands, if the troops are divided again, I'm afraid."
Xia Xun said: "I know, in this way, there are fewer soldiers and horses in Beiping City, and the pressure is so huge, it will be a bitter battle, a bitter war, but it must be so, His Royal Highness's main army must not be in Beiping City, waiting for Li Jiujiang to consume it little by little."
It will be very difficult to defend the city, but this burden, Your Highness must hand it over, it is up to the people to make things happen, and it is up to the sky to make things happen, Your Highness, there is no panacea, and there is no perfect plan to only take advantage of the situation and not suffer losses."
Zhu Di lowered his head and pondered for a moment, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, slowly raised his head, looked at Xia Xun, and said: "So, this king is outside, what should be done before the loss of Beiping?"
Xia Xun said: "Eliminate the peripheral troops of the imperial army as much as possible, cut off his wings, and delay time" "Procrastination" Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he vaguely understood something, and asked: "Delay time, will there be reinforcements?"
"We have three major reinforcements" Xia Xun habitually raised a finger, fortunately Fat Zilin was not here, otherwise he wouldn't know what pickled pictures he would have thought of again.
"The first powerful reinforcement is the time of day" Zhu Di already understood, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Yes, the 500,000 troops of the imperial court, most of them are southern soldiers, and they are not tolerant of the cold in the north, but Li Jiujiang didn't know if he was too confident when he sent out his troops, thinking that Beiping could be taken overnight, or he lacked experience in fighting in the northern winter, and he didn't bring too many winter clothes. ” Xia Xun said: "Our second powerful reinforcement is the Southern Army itself."
Zhu Diqi said: "How do you say this?"
Xia Xun said: "The army of 500,000 is certainly terrifying in wartime, but this behemoth eats horses and feeds, and how much is needed to supply them The battle line is long, and the northern geography, His Royal Highness's soldiers and horses are far more familiar than them, as long as they send troops to cut off their supply and transportation lines, they will have neither food and grass nor warm clothes and robes, and they will collapse without a fight." ” Zhu Di nodded again and again, Xia Xun said again: "If Li Jinglong divides his troops to pursue His Highness, even if it is a division of troops, it is still far greater than His Highness, His Highness cannot attack hard, the southern army enters the horse, the northern army is more than a horse, His Highness should give full play to the strengths of the northern army, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase, drag down the enemy with guerrilla tactics, advance and retreat in great strides, lure the enemy deep, concentrate forces, break through each one, and destroy the enemy in the movement war" This tactic was not invented by that great man, but it was systematically sorted out and summed up in his hands, and the essence of guerrilla warfare and movement warfare in ancient and modern times was carried forward.
This tactic is suitable for Zhu Di's current situation.
Since Zhu Di sat in Beiping, he had never been in such a stretched situation in terms of troops, so in his consistent combat thinking, it was difficult to jump out of the confinement of combat experience formed for many years, but his opponents, those Mobei tribes are masters of guerrilla warfare and sports warfare, although Zhu Di has won repeatedly, it is difficult to eliminate these enemies.
So he only closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and he had already comprehended the essence of this sports warfare and guerrilla warfare, to put it mildly, although the essence of this guerrilla warfare and sports warfare was told to him by Xia Xun, his understanding and comprehension were far above Xia Xun, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Wenxuan is resourceful, it is really the dry city of the country, with this good strategy, Li Jiujiang's 500,000 army is not to be afraid." ” Xia Xun said: "Your Highness can't be careless, we do this, there is a premise, that is, Beiping must be held, and must be held, if Beiping is lost, everything will not be mentioned."
Zhu Di's expression was solemn, and he nodded slowly: "Yes, Beiping must be defended, so what is the third support army?"
Xia Xun said: "After all, the enemy army has 500,000 people, ten times more than me, as the so-called killing a thousand enemies, self-loss of eight hundred, even if Beiping can hold on, His Royal Highness has also dragged on to the cold winter season, and his own troops are almost exhausted, at that time Li Jiujiang is short of food and clothing, if you want to retreat, Your Highness still has the strength to launch a counteroffensive and expand the results of the battle If not, let the southern army retreat calmly, although we won this battle, but did not hurt the vitality of the enemy, until next spring Li Jiujiang made a comeback, His Royal Highness is like this, this third support army, It's the real reinforcements, and we still need an elite army that can fight well."
Zhu Di asked with blazing eyes: "Where did the soldiers come from?"
"King Ning" Zhu Di shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Seventeenth brother, the impossible Wenxuan, I won't hide it from you, at the beginning of the rebellion, this king wrote a secret letter, counting the injustices and injustices of the court, and confiding in him the embarrassment of my brother and the kings, hoping that he would send troops to help, but this letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all." ” Xia Xun said in his heart: "It turns out that King Yan also thought about joining forces with this brother who is close at hand.
Xia Xun said: "King Ning doesn't have the courage to stand up and fight with His Highness, let's borrow his soldiers to hold grievances for the kings, King Ning should always agree."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "How could Wen Xuan say such naïve words, if the seventeenth brother borrowed troops from me, wouldn't it also become a rebellion of the imperial court, if he could borrow troops, he would be able to take the initiative to raise troops to respond." ” Xia Xun smiled and said: "Your Highness, this loan has a literary loan and a military loan, you can discuss the borrowing, or you can borrow it by force, it doesn't have to be King Ning willingly."
Zhu Di was startled, a pair of eyes suddenly became black and bright, he stared at Xia Xun tightly, looked at it carefully for a long time, and saw that Xia Xun didn't seem to be joking, so he was surprised and said: "Wen Xuan really has a good courage."
Now that the imperial army is pressing, this king is already too busy to take care of himself, and if the seventeenth brother doesn't come to me to make trouble, this king will be thankful, and he can still take the initiative to provoke him, if he recruits this tiger again, won't this king's situation be even worse."
Xia Xun frowned, and said in his heart: "It seems that King Yan has no hope at all about borrowing troops from King Ning, could it be that King Ning's soldiers were borrowed back by me."
Xia Xun thought for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness once wrote to King Ning, although King Ning did not answer, but he did not see him show the letter to the court, King Ning's attitude is so ambiguous, it may not be unconvincing, the emperor cut the domain, and it is not only His Royal Highness who is cut, but also the brothers of the kings, the prisoners of the prisoners, the forbidden of the forbidden, the King of Ning has no complaints in his heart."
Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "How can I have no grievances among the kings, although I am the most famous, it is actually because I am the oldest, and I am now the head of the kings, and I have fought against the remnants of the Mobei Yuan people many times, and my reputation is resounding."
In fact, if you want to say that you really have a heavy army, I am far inferior to this seventeenth brother.
The feudal state of the seventeenth brother is in Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, Guhuizhou, Liaozuo in the east, Xuanfu in the west, it is an important military town, with 80,000 armor and 6,000 leather cars, among the kings, it can be called the best.
However, because of this, he is also deeply suspicious of the emperor, last year when the court issued an order to cut the military power of the kings, the seventeenth brother's military power was also forced to hand over, the first few months, the emperor issued an order, his three guards and horses were also collected, last month the court also issued an order, to recall him back to Beijing to meet, because I raised troops here, I couldn't take care of him for a while, this matter is just that. ” Xia Xun was stunned when he heard this: "King Ning has been cut off of his military power, and he has been cut clean like Zhu Laosi, this is not the same as my memory, it's bad, could it be that the movement of my little butterfly's wing fan is too big, and history has changed beyond recognition, so what advantages do I have in the future, wouldn't I also have a black eye." ” Yan Wang Zhu Di's next sentence recalled Xia Xun's soul: "However, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, the seventeenth brother's vassal country is deep into the outside of the Saiwai, and the control of the imperial court is not very strong, especially the seventeenth brother has the Mongolian three guards under his command, which are the elite of the Mengyuan cavalry, who defected to my Ming Dynasty at the beginning, the seventeenth brother is very good to these men, and the leader of the three guards has no disobedience, those people are not so much the soldiers of my Daming, but the private soldiers of the seventeenth brother, if the seventeenth brother says a word, they are still willing to listen." ” When Xia Xun heard this, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, history is not too out of shape, otherwise I really don't know what to do.
In fact, it's just that Xia Xun doesn't know the detailed history, Xia Xun doesn't want to understand what he reads, what articles and stories he sees just a few glances, he probably has an impression, many details are not graspable at all, in his memory, it is that King Yan rode into Daning alone, and Queen Ning took King Ning as a hostage, and brought King Ning's army back.
So in his understanding, the imperial court should have not touched King Ning, otherwise, why did King Yan deceive King Ning out, and he could incorporate his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses In fact, King Ning at this time in history was indeed the same as King Yan before he was forced to raise troops, he was cut into a bare commander, and all he had was left with a palace, and even the soldiers and horses of the three guards were taken over by the court generals.
Xia Xun said happily: "That's good, the court has cut King Ning's soldiers and horses to the brim, and even the three guards of the palace have been transferred, and he has issued an order to let him enter Beijing, which shows that he has a bad heart, King Ning has no resentment in his heart, and he is willing to go to Daning for His Royal Highness, if he can successfully persuade King Ning to defect to His Royal Highness, he can persuade all the guards under King Ning to join him, and His Royal Highness will be like a tiger." ” Xia Xun had just presented Zhu Di with a countermeasure against the 500,000 army of the imperial court, Zhu Di regarded him as a treasure, who was willing to let him take risks, and couldn't help but be moved when he heard the words: "The seventeenth brother is willing to raise troops with me, there is still between the two, if you want to explore his mind, you don't have to go to Wenxuan to take the risk in person."
If the seventeenth brother refuses to be compatible, won't it hurt your surname, so it's better for this king to repair another book and persuade him. ” Xia Xun shook his head and said: "If there is only one letter exchange, I am afraid it will be difficult to borrow King Ning's elite soldiers, and he can go here, you can see the opportunity to act, probe his mind, if possible, know it with affection, move it with reason, King Ning and His Royal Highness have the same disease, it may not be able to fulfill His Highness's wishes, if only one letter, send a small official, it is really difficult to work."
His Royal Highness's caring heart, the humble duty is inscribed, but to help His Royal Highness achieve great causes, this Da Ning, the humble duty must be taken along" Zhu Di hesitated and said: "This, if the seventeenth brother wants to show loyalty to the imperial court, he can decide your life and death with just one word, Wenxuan."
Xia Xun said resolutely: "In today's situation, where is not dangerous is it in the military camp of His Highness, or in Beiping City, if you want to have peace for a long time, you must take risks now, just ask Your Highness to give a token, Yang Xu is willing to break into King Ning's Longtan Tiger's Den for His Highness."
"Good, good" Zhu Di is happy and angry, he is a person who is easy to be emotionally impulsive, seeing that Xia Xun put his personal life and death aside for himself, his eyes were red with emotion, but unfortunately he is now in danger, and the future of Xu people's fame is empty, and the words of this official wish cannot be said.
I remembered that my third daughter was ten years old, and in two years she would be at the age of marriage, if he was allowed to be his son-in-law, it would be a real relative, but he opened his mouth and closed his mouth after marrying his wife, and in the end, Zhu Di could only bury his gratitude in his heart, patted Xia Xun's shoulder vigorously, and commanded loudly outside the tent: Come here, call Saihazhi to see me" After a while, a member of the beard will stride into the tent, this person has a leopard head and eyes, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, looks straight and similar to Zhang Fei, as soon as he saw Zhu Di, he crossed his hands and bent over, and said in a loud voice: "Saihazhi has seen His Royal Highness" Zhu Di said to Xia Xun: "Since Wenxuan is going, let my guard Saihazhi go with you, he is a Mongolian, familiar with the geography of Daning, and knows Mongolian, maybe it can help you."
Saihachi Xia Xun said in his heart: "There was Ji Gang in the past, and now there is Saihazhi, the third and fourth Jinyi Wei are all commanders, and now I have seen them, and I am really related to Jinyi Wei."
As soon as Saihazhi heard Zhu Di's words, he knew that he wanted to follow this adult on an errand, so he hurriedly saluted Xia Xun respectfully, and said loudly: "Humble Saihazhi, I would like to be sent by Lord Yang to go to the soup and fire."
