"Your Majesty, are you going to let Mr. Gu escort you back to the capital?"
Li Jing glanced at Gu Yanwu and said tentatively.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he shook his head and said: "Although we are sure to mobilize the wolf soldiers, if things go wrong, the other party may still attack you, so Gu Qing is better to go with you. As for us..."
"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish speaking, Brother Li hurriedly interrupted: "It's only been one hour at night, and already three waves of people have come to assassinate him."
"And this place is still more than two hundred miles away from the capital. If you don't let the army escort you, the general will have to disobey even if you are punished!"
Li and Gu were not aware of the assassination because they had been busy reorganizing the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang had blocked the news.
After listening to Brother Li Wu's words, everyone looked panicked, and then said that they would rather give up the battle and send Zhu Yuanzhang back to the capital safely.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the nervous expressions on the three of his faces and said with a smile: "What are you doing? Do you think we will sacrifice our lives in exchange for victory in this battle?"
As he spoke, he looked at Brother Li Wu and said, "And you, you have been practicing for so long, why are you still so impatient? Did we tell you not to escort me?"...
Brother Li Wu smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and then apologized repeatedly.
When Li Jing heard that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Brother Li Wu to escort him, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Because he knew that the Jurchen soldiers were fierce, he originally wanted Brother Li Wu to lead the charge to capture their vigor.
Without the strong man like Brother Li Wu, Gu Yanwu alone may not be able to succeed.
However, he immediately thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's safety was far better than this battle, so he felt relieved, and offered to let Li Wu Ge bring an elite entourage of 5,000 people to escort him.
Hearing this, Brother Li Wu was a little worried and said: "Li Shangshu, although we have fifteen thousand elites, the only ones who can really fight are those five thousand."
"If I take them all away, Mr. Gu may have a hard time fighting against the Jurchens..."
Li Jing shook his head and said, "Master Li, you are worrying too much!"
"The reason why I asked you to lead a sneak attack with 15,000 men before was because I was worried that the wolf soldiers would take advantage of the situation."
"But from what you said about the assassination just now, I know that the other party's target is His Majesty. Once they learn that His Majesty has left, they will lead their troops to pursue us, and they will have no time to take care of us."
Brother Li Wu shook his head and said, "No, we have blocked the news and the wolf soldiers outside don't know about it."
"Even if they will learn about this later, since His Majesty has already left and they are unable to pursue him, they may still proceed as planned. Therefore, your arrangement is too dangerous!"
Li Jing smiled and said: "Master Li, do you think there is really no news about our camp?"
"If it is so impregnable, then how could the other side send out so many people to assassinate His Majesty? The leader of the other side is not hiding in the army, right?"
At this time, Gu Yanwu also said: "Master Li, what Li Shangshu said makes sense, you don't need to worry."
"You must know that His Majesty's safety is far greater than this battle, and there must be no room for loss."
"Furthermore, they must have wanted to deal with His Majesty for more than a day. They must have already divided their troops and deployed control. Since there are not many wolf soldiers in the first place, and our combat power is not strong, they will not have too many soldiers and horses left here for a sneak attack."
"Their arrangement is reasonable, but because Your Majesty is coming here from outside the customs, the troops and horses they deployed will not be able to withdraw in time. In a hurry, they can only mobilize the troops here to pursue. So the more people you bring, the harder the fight will be. The more fierce we are, the safer we will be!”
Although Brother Li Wu is smart, he is still a martial artist. His debating skills are not as good as those of Li Jing and Gu Yanwu.
But even though he couldn't talk to Li Jing and Li Jing, he still felt vaguely uneasy, so he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had not spoken before was because he wanted to see the loyalty and abilities of the three of them.
After listening to their argument at this moment, I knew that not only were the three of them loyal, but Li and Gu had also seen the overall situation clearly, so they smiled and said, "You don't need to argue anymore, just listen to my orders!"
When Li Jing and the three of them heard this, they all looked at Zhu Zhu respectfully.
Yuan Zhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Li Qing, Gu Qing, although what you two said before is reasonable, you missed two points."
"The first is Mr. Zou Da's division of troops. Although there are only five roads from Shanhaiguan to the capital, they also know that if we don't lead the army back to the capital, we will definitely take a small road."
"And there are more than a hundred trails that cannot be controlled at all, so they will only send a small number of people to check our whereabouts and place the army on the only way. This will not only save troops, but also facilitate temporary mobilization, and it will not cost much troops. .”
"In addition, you are also the target of the wolf soldiers, so Mr. Zou Da will arrange a lot of troops here, so you cannot take it lightly."
"Brother Li Wu will only need to bring 3,000 troops and horses at that time. This way your strength will not be too weak, and it will also prevent the wolf soldiers from being afraid to pursue due to too many troops and horses."
"The second is the Jurchen aspect. You must know that Sony is aware of this, which means that his intelligence is not inferior to yours. Even if you launch an offensive in advance, the result may not be optimistic."
"So we think your battle should be divided into two. The first time is to prevent the wolf soldiers from sneak attacks, and at the same time put a certain amount of pressure on the Jurchens. When you achieve your goal, you should retreat immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight."
"After this battle, the wolf soldiers and Jurchens will definitely relax their vigilance. At this time, Brother Li and I should have repelled the pursuing wolf soldiers. When the time comes, Brother Li will lead his army back and attack the Jurchens with you. We will definitely win!"
Gu Yanwu had actually thought about dividing the troops for a long time, and he only talked about it in a favorable way because he wanted to appease Brother Li Wu. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang made the first point, he didn't pay too much attention.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the second point, a serious look immediately flashed on his face.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if we just feigned an attack the first time, what should Jiang Yingkui and the others do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "You don't have to worry about this. When you attack for the first time, we will ask Leng Jiseng to lead an army to help. Jiang Yingkui and others can take the opportunity to escape."
Gu Yanwu nodded and asked, "How can the person disguised as Zhengbai Qi escape?"
"Because according to His Majesty, Dorgon and Hauge are not on good terms, it is already reluctant for Monk Leng to lead his army to help. If Monk Leng were to pursue us alone, I am afraid that even Hauge would not believe it."
"If Leng Jiseng goes back alone again, Hauge and others will become suspicious, and Leng Jiseng's secret chess may be exposed!"
"But if they can't do this, they will have no choice but to follow Leng Jiseng back outside the pass, and Dorgon will find out by then."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this. You must know that the reason why Leng Jiseng rushed to help Hauge was because he received a secret report from his subordinates that Niyaha was preparing to rebel."
"At that time, Jiang Yingkui still had Niyaha in his hands. As long as he took away Niyaha, Niyaha's men would definitely chase him. Monk Lengji could also take the opportunity to pursue him, and then report an ambush and die in battle. Lengji would The monk brought back dozens of people and it was over."
"As for the extra soldiers and horses, it is not difficult, because according to what Leng Jiseng said, he has a good relationship with Gang Lin, and Gang Lin should have lost a lot of people in Shanhaiguan. They will find a way to make up for it by then. About this matter."
When Gu Yanwu heard this, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's move not only solved the disguise, but also achieved the purpose of monitoring Leng Jiseng, and he couldn't help but admire him even more.
Zhu Yuanzhang then gave some more details, then looked at Brother Li and said, "You will interrogate those assassins later. It doesn't matter if you kill some people."
"We believe that under your severe punishment, a general with a thousand households or above will be found. No matter what that person says, you will capture him directly."
"In addition, you ordered the guarding Tiger Soldiers to leak our plans to return to the capital to the assassins without leaving any trace, and then find an opportunity to release them..."
"Li Qing, Gu Qing, before you set off, you two can also relax your defenses and have trustworthy people monitor you secretly. If you find anyone suspicious, there is no need to rush to capture them."
"After the first attack is over, let the news spread through their mouths, and then..."
After Li Jing and the other two wrote down the information one by one, they hurried out of the tent.
