In the huge Wuying Palace, Zhu Qiyu took the military report and slowly walked back and forth in the palace.
What he was most worried about finally happened!
After the Civil War, the biggest difficulty for the imperial court was the lack of troops.
Not only the capital camp, but also the various border towns on the border are all very empty of troops.
This time, the plans repeatedly deduced by Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian, Chen Mao and others were actually just a re-division of the distribution of soldiers on the border.
On the one hand, they strengthened the walls and cleared the country, abandoned most unimportant passes, moved the people inward to the fortified cities, reduced the strength of the troops, and vacated some of the soldiers.
On the other hand, through peace talks and proactive attacks, a two-pronged approach allowed Tuotuo Buhua to withdraw his troops, reduce the pressure on the border, and once again release some troops.
Finally, these two freed troops were used to cut off Ye Xian's logistics transfer route and strangle him to death outside Zijin Pass.
The general direction of the entire plan is actually very simple to say, but there are countless dangers in it.
For example, once Xuanfu Yang Hong failed to repel Alazhiyuan, then Tuo Tuo Bu Hua would certainly not retreat.
After all, negotiations can only take place when there is equal strength.
Another example is Liaodong!
In this plan, the biggest adventure is Liaodong.
Since you want to negotiate, you must first prove your ability to negotiate with the other party.
Simply put, kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!
Alachiin is that chicken.
If Wang Wen wants to negotiate with Totuo Buhua, he must first give Alazhiyuan a heavy blow.
This proves that even if the Ming Dynasty faces tens of thousands of main forces, it may be difficult to support it, but it is not too difficult to deal with a partial army of more than ten thousand people like them.
However, the Xuanfu did not have enough troops. To attack Alazhiyuan at night, it must be supported by troops from Liaodong.
So Wang Wen had to play an empty city strategy in front of Tuotuo Buhua.
Relying on Tuotuo's suspicious character and not good at taking risks, he deceived him once, and then used various means to persuade him to agree to withdraw his troops.
During this process, Wang Wen naturally made some concessions on behalf of the emperor, but these were all explained in advance.
So in fact, in the entire plan, Liaodong Military Town is the weakest link.
Because until now, the 10,000 troops originally belonging to Liaodong are still stationed in Xuanfu.
This is also the reason why Yang Hong was able to divide his troops with Fan Guang to attack Yanghe from east to west after his raid on Alazhiyuan.
Originally, the biggest threat to Liaodong was the Tatar army.
After Tuotuo Buhua withdrew his troops, Liaodong could temporarily enjoy peace.
But no one expected that the king of competitions who was originally responsible for monitoring Tuo Tuo Bu Hua did not follow Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, but went in the opposite direction to Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
In this case, his goal must be Liaodong Town!
Zhu Qiyu couldn't be sure whether this was the decision of the Saikan King himself or a strategy that had been planned in advance.
In short, because of his intervention, the current battle situation has undergone earth-shaking changes from what he was familiar with in his previous life.
The situation he faced now was actually a dilemma.
If the king of competition is allowed to attack Liaodong on a large scale, the thousands of people in Liaodong now alone will not be able to withstand it.
But if support is needed, the troops at the border will be tense again.
At this time, Yu Qian sighed and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, we have already lost Yanghe, the army's logistics has been cut off, and its defeat is doomed. However, Liaodong Town is an important military town for the Ming Dynasty to contain Wu Liangha and other tribes."
"Once something happens in Liaodong, Wu Liangha and other tribes will inevitably take advantage of the situation. At that time, the imperial court will have just wiped out the troops and will have to raise more troops to clean up the chaos in Liaodong. It may be difficult to support them. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu stopped, frowned and said nothing.
He understood everything Yu Qian said.
The reason why he took the risk in Liaodong at that time was because compared to Liaodong, the status of the capital was obviously more important.
But now that victory has been decided, it would be inappropriate to take risks with Liaodong.
As Yu Qian said, Liaodong Town was set up to intimidate the three tribes of Uliangha and other small tribes such as Jurchens.
Once something goes wrong in Liaodong, these tribes will inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos.
Of course, with the presence of Shanhaiguan, it will not threaten the capital for a while, but in the end, it will take a lot of effort for the court to clean up.
In this way, first the Supreme Emperor will personally conquer, and then he will invade first, and the Huguang Miao people will cause chaos in the interior. If the troops are organized to clean up the chaos in Liaodong, then I am afraid that the imperial court will really be dragged down.
Not only that, Zhu Qiyu knew more than Yu Qian.
For example, next year, the first year of Jingtai, there will be a large-scale flood.
Then, there will be a drought in the second year of Jingtai, and there will also be an earthquake.
During the third year of Jingtai, there will be continuous rain for several months, and crops will be soaked in water, resulting in large-scale rotten harvests.
In the fourth year of Jingtai, there were several major snowstorms.
In the fifth year of Jingtai, there was a locust plague...
In short, the next few years will not be smooth.
Under such circumstances, what the court and the people obviously need is to recuperate and regain their strength, rather than to start fighting again and continue to fight for years.
Therefore, at least in the past few years, this war with Ye Xian will be the last war.
For a long time to come, Zhu Qiyu will focus on domestic affairs.
Sitting down on the throne again, Zhu Qiyu made a decision in his heart and spoke.
"Order Yang Hong to send 5,000 troops and another 5,000 troops from Juyong Pass to rush to Liaodong. We must protect the town of Liaodong."
"In addition, send a message to the general at Zijin Pass, ordering Wang Wen and Ren Li to take the initiative to attack, striving to severely damage the Wala army. As for waiting for all the enemy chiefs first, no matter life or death!"
Now that things have come to this, he must make a choice.
Liaodong cannot make any mistakes, so it can only fight quickly and strive to cause maximum casualties in this battle.
Yu Qian and others followed the order.
However, before leaving, Yu Qian stood there and looked at him, as if expecting Zhu Qiyu to say something else.
But in the end, Zhu Qiyu still said nothing.
Zhu Qiyu naturally knew Yu Qian's thoughts.
What he wanted to ask was nothing more than the Supreme Emperor who was still in Ye Xian's hands.
Zhu Qiyu naturally hates his brother, but after seeing the rise and fall for a hundred years, it is not true that hatred really occupies an important position in his heart.
From Zhu Qiyu's perspective now, he certainly hopes that he can die in the war.
But this kind of thing depends on luck.
Faced with such a situation first, he would definitely treat Zhu Qizhen as the last straw and hold on tightly.
Unless Ye Xian's army can be wiped out, it will be difficult to kill Zhu Qizhen under heavy protection.
But it would be impossible for Zhu Qiyu to take the initiative to welcome him back.
At least for now, he will not let this overlord return to the Ming Dynasty.
As for the future...
If he fell twice in the same place in his new life, his life would be in vain!
