Wang Fuzhi stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with a look that was almost rude for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you want to use Mr. Wang and others... to lure Duduo to attack Shanhaiguan?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Wang Euzhidao calmly: "Yes, according to our judgment, although Duoduo has some strategies, he is quite impulsive and loves great achievements."
"In addition, he was defeated previously and always wanted to save face, so we agreed to Wang Shoulin's release, because only in this way can Duduo think that all the best troops in the pass have been released."
"When the time comes, he will lead his army to attack Shanhaiguan in order to perform meritorious service, and we will take the opportunity to capture him. Dorgon has lost this rare army and has resorted to rat-proof tactics, so he will be unable to invade south."
Wang Fuzhi listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's story and was silent for a long time. Then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "If Duduo doesn't attack Shanhaiguan after defeating Mr. Wang, how will your Majesty prepare to respond?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he snorted deliberately dissatisfiedly, and looked at Wang Fuzhi with anger in his eyes.
When Wang Fuzhi saw this, he did not flinch. Instead, he straightened his clothes and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I found you standing in the grass. I should have obeyed the king's orders and swore to die in repayment."
"But this matter is not only related to the life and death of more than 10,000 soldiers, but also the lives of thousands of people. I have to ask disrespectfully, and please forgive me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly happy when he saw Wang Huizhi's proud appearance, but he still said with a cold face: "Why, do you think we will make a mistake?"
Wang Fuzhi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't mean to offend. It's just the art of war. As a general, you should first be invincible, and then wait for the enemy to be victorious."
"Although the Jurchens are coming now with fierce force, as long as we abandon the land of Liaodong and stick to Shanhaiguan, we will be in an invincible position. I wonder why Your Majesty would choose the dangerous road instead of the smooth road?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Do you know that Gao Di is mediocre in talent, so why did Wu Sangui let him guard Shanhaiguan?"
Wang Fuzhi seemed to have known that Zhu Yuanzhang had this question, so before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he respectfully said: "The Marquis of Zhendong did this just to better control Shanhaiguan."
"I also know that the Zu and Wu families have been running Liaodong for decades, and their disciples' old friends are spread all over the pass. If the town... climbs up and calls out, many people will respond."
"So after I and Your Majesty Wang entered the city, the first thing they did was to monitor suspicious people, and when Gao Di ordered troops, they had already captured those who tried to cause rebellion."
"In addition, Zhu Chenggong has left, and we can mobilize Zhongzhong's troops to enter the pass. Coupled with the intimidation of the Jin Yiwei, I believe that even if there are some fish that slip through the net, I will not dare to act rashly..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was not only knowledgeable but also courageous, he couldn't help but appreciate him a little more, but he still pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Do you think it's enough for you to capture those people?"
"Do you know how many people surrendered to the rebels when the capital city was besieged? I'm afraid the number of people you captured can't even be counted as a fraction!"
"So Gao Di's soldiers and horses must leave the customs. Only in this way can we win the initiative and truly control Shanhaiguan."
"As for Ma Jinzhong, although he is considered loyal now, can you guarantee that he will still be so loyal when the Jurchens attack the city and the rebels advance eastward?"
"You must know that he is a bandit after all. If he sees that the rebels are gaining strength and switches sides in the face of battle, wouldn't we be in a cocoon..."
After Wang Fuzhi listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's story, he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "I was confused for a moment and almost missed an important event. Please punish me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more happy when he saw that he had the courage to admit his mistakes. He smiled and said: "Wang Qing, if you can speak uprightly without fear of the king's power, you are not guilty of anything. Get up quickly!"
When Wang Euzhi heard this, he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang had been testing him before, and he was even more in awe of him.
After he kowtowed respectfully and thanked him, he stood up slowly, and then said worriedly: "Your Majesty, there are only more than 10,000 local warriors in the city now, and they are not trained in battle formations. How can we defend the city if we don't mobilize our horses to march forward?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mr. Wang and said in a deep voice: "This matter depends on you, Wang Qing!"
"rely on me?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, it's up to you. The reason why we asked you to lead the army to intimidate Zhu Chenggong was firstly to establish your authority, and secondly to familiarize you with the generals."
"Next, we will let Zhang Dabiao and Ma Jinzhong lead the cavalry out of the pass, while you will command his troops to enter the pass and defend the city..."
After Wang Fuzhi heard Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, he was even more impressed, and then hesitantly said: "What if Duduo doesn't attack Shanhaiguan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with certainty: "He will definitely attack Shanhaiguan, because if our predictions are correct, Wu Sangui has been defeated now, and within five days, Dorgon will come to the city."
When Wang Euzhi heard this, he couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face.
Although he had previously advocated abandoning Liaodong and prepared for the worst, he did not think the matter would really be that serious.
Because Wu Sangui held the number one cavalry in Guan, and was assisted by Zu Dashou, Zheng Hongkui and others, he had already occupied important towns such as Jinzhou and Ningyuan.
Even if the army is defeated, it should be able to hold on for dozens of days. It is impossible for Dorgon to reach Shanhaiguan in just five days.
However, when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang speaking so firmly, and thought that even if the other party was wrong in his estimation, it would be better to prepare in advance, he did not argue anymore, but acted according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.
What Wang Fuzhi didn't expect was that in the afternoon of that day, when he was reorganizing his army in Beidaihe, he received news of Wu Sangui's defeat.
Fortunately, Wu Sangui was alert and prepared in advance, so the entire army was not wiped out.
But Zu Dashou was not as lucky as him and was captured by Dorgon again.
Although Zheng Hongkui and others were not captured alive, they suffered heavy losses and fled to the sea in a hurry.
After Wang Fuzhi learned about this, he immediately fell into worry.
At this time, Wang Fuzhi was not the only one who was worried. Zhu Cixiang, who was in the capital, was also very anxious.
Because after he learned that Gong Yonggu had been killed, he tried his best to block the news and asked Datong's troops to block it with all their strength, buying time for the war in the capital.
But they didn't expect that Li Guo and others ignored the existence of Datong and went straight to the capital.
At the same time, the rebels in Baoding also attacked forcefully, breaking through Huang Degong's blockade and approaching the capital.
Under the influence of this news, Shen Zhanran, who had blocked Hauge's attack, retreated again, and Li Jing, who had just gained the upper hand in Jizhou, also fell into a bitter battle.
Deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives, everyone in the capital is now in danger, and the voice of surrender has sounded again, and has become more and more intense.
In addition, his mother, who had always been healthy, suddenly fell ill, and the doctors were at a loss.
This series of blows made Zhu Cixiang exhausted physically and mentally. He felt like a small boat in the strong wind and waves. Not only was he isolated and helpless, but he was also in danger of being destroyed at any time.
At this moment, he missed his father very much, the hero who was proud of the situation and held up the sky.
It's a pity that he used all the royal guards, but still didn't get any news, which made him feel even more lonely and helpless!
Some people died, but not completely...
