"Your Majesty?"
Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Xiong County is the former Songwa Bridge Pass!"
"Although this place is surrounded by plains and there are no mountains or rivers to rely on for defense, in the former Song Dynasty, in order to enhance the ability of border defense to defend against enemies, the rivers and rivers were relocated to serve as blockades, forming numerous water and river connections, forming a north-south waterway defense line. .”
"Our army is mainly based on cavalry. If we really attack Xiong County, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it, right?"
The other generals also spoke one after another, full of doubts about Zhu Di's decision.
Seeing this, Zhu Di just smiled and shook his head.
"You all think too simply."
"It is precisely because Xiong County is difficult to fight that we are going to fight!"
After hearing this, the generals suddenly became even more confused.
Why do you have to take a few bites of this difficult bone?
Monk Dao Yan on the side spoke at this moment and explained with a smile.
"Do you generals think that the Southern Army will not guess that we are going to attack Monzhou City?"
"They deliberately divided their forces into three places, and they acted as the horns of each other. It seemed that our army could attack anywhere."
"But in fact, as you just said, Xiong County is too difficult to defeat. Even if Hejian City is captured, it will be meaningless to our army. Therefore, the only option left to us by the Southern Army is Minzhou City!"
"The city of Minzhou is the main transportation route for our Yan army to go south, so our Yan army has a reason to attack Minzhou city, but that's where the problem lies. Don't the generals of the southern army understand this?"
"At this moment, Minzhou City is afraid that it will have a large number of troops and is waiting for our army to attack the city!"
After listening to Monk Daoyan's explanation, all the generals reacted instantly and secretly said that they were in danger.
If they were really in a hurry to attack Minzhou City, they would have really fallen into the enemy's trap!
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Yan has outstanding military skills, and he also saw the enemy's little thoughts.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the generals bowed their hands to Zhu Di with sincerity and bowed their heads.
Zhu Di just smiled and waved his hands, and continued what Monk Dao Yan said.
"So we can't attack Minzhou City now, and there's no point in conquering Hejian City."
"Then our army's first target is naturally Xiong County. Because Xiong County's city is strong and occupies an advantageous location, Geng Bingwen and others would never have thought that we would choose such a tough nut to crack!"
"If my prediction is correct, Xiongxian's military strength should be far less than that of Hejian and Minzhou!"
After confirming the combat goal, the next step is how to attack.
Although what Zhu Di said just now sounds nice, it is an indisputable fact that the city of Xiongxian is in danger, so it is not easy to conquer Xiongxian.
Moreover, these three cities are at the horns of each other. Once Xiongxian is attacked, the southern armies of the other two cities will rush to their aid.
This means that the Yan army must resolve the battle as soon as possible and conquer Xiong County in one fell swoop, otherwise it will be attacked from both sides!
Zhu Di thought for a long time and finally smiled.
"Let's fight like this!"
At the same time, Xishan courtyard.
The construction of greenhouses has begun.
After all, with Chu Xiong and five hundred and one younger brothers, he doesn't have to do everything himself.
Su Yang also took some time off and read a book next to the potato seedlings.
There is also a fat, fat man who is as idle as him, and he flashes to Xishan again.
The two of them joked and joked for a while, and Big Fatty couldn't help but speak.
"Brother-in-law, do you think His Highness Prince Yan can win this time?"
Su Yang said nothing and automatically filtered out the noise in his ears.
Seeing that he was silent and not answering, Big Fatty had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Brother-in-law, our father also went to the battlefield!"
"If His Highness King Yan loses, we will become orphans!"
Su Yang: "???"
Damn it?
The father resigns and the son laughs?
What do you mean?
Are you so "filial"?
The little girl also shook Su Yang's arm and looked at him expectantly.
After all, the two brothers and sisters seemed relaxed and leisurely on the surface, but in fact they were extremely concerned about the war on the front line.
Their father was fighting bloody battles on the front lines and risking his life. It would be strange not to worry about him!
Su Yang had no choice but to speak slowly.
"Brother, who do you think is the most capable general of the Yan army?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned.
The most capable general of the Yan army?
"General Chen Heng?"
"Or General Zhang Xin?"
"It can't be Zhang Yuzhu who can defeat them, right?"
After all, Chen Heng was the founding general and Taizu's armor commander, so Zhu Gaochi chose Chen Heng at the first moment.
As for Zhang Xin, he really didn't have anything outstanding in the past, but his performance in the early days of Prince Yan's army was quite remarkable.
In the end, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and the others, and Zhu Gaochi were not from the past and did not understand the development process of the Battle of Jingnan. They did not have any impressive results now, so they were naturally ranked at the bottom.
Because Zhang Yuzhu Neng's career has just started, he has no record of success at all.
"Chen Heng?" Su Yang smiled, "He is indeed a famous general."
"But the most capable general in the Yan army is not actually him, but our Highness the King of Yan!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi was a little confused.
Among all the generals of the Yan army, his father, Zhu Di, was the most capable?
My father is so awesome, why don’t I know?
Su Yang's eyes were a little wandering, and his tone became more vicissitudes of life.
"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, is truly a handsome man!"
"The brave generals and tiger generals who followed Emperor Taizu Gao in the southern and northern wars could be roughly divided into three echelons based on their personal abilities and seniority and military achievements."
"There are only four people in the first echelon. King Xu Da of Zhongshan, King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping, King Li Wenzhong of Qiyang, and Duke Fu Youde of Ying. These four people are out-and-out commanders-in-chief of the three armies. Regardless of their personal abilities or qualifications and merits, they are all It is enough to defeat all the generals in the world."
"There are only four people in the second echelon, King Deng Yu of Ninghe, King Muying of Qianning, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, and Xining Marquis Song Sheng. The four of them are actually no less capable of commanding than the previous four, but because they may be specialized in one party Or they are guarding the border, so their achievements are not as impressive as the first four."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled and subconsciously asked: "What about Lan Yu, Duke of Liang? People praise Lan Yu highly and call him the number one general in the late Hongwu period!"
"Ha, Lan Yu?" Su Yang sneered: "He's just a lucky guy. Apart from defeating Beiyuan in fishing, what other achievements does he have?"
"What's more, the real hero in the Battle of Yuerhai was not Lan Yu, but Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan. Lan Yu wanted to lead his troops back when he failed in pursuit. It was Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who dissuaded him and personally served as the vanguard. General, we continued our pursuit all night, and then discovered the Beiyuan Camp, and that’s why he, Lan Yu, gained such great wealth!"
"Moreover, Lan Yu's moral character is lacking. Although he has the talent of a general, he does not have the mind to be a general. After a great victory, he began to take credit and be arrogant. He bullied and insulted the soldiers wantonly, disrespected the emperor and was not afraid of the court. How can such a villain be called a villain? Are you a good general?"
Zhu Gaochi was shocked after hearing this. He really didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in the Yuerhai battle.
"Brother-in-law, is it true that the imperial court has no generals available now? Are there any generals in the imperial court who can fight?"
"Yes, and more than one!" Su Yang answered with a smile.
"It's just that the new emperor Zhu Yunwen can't command these brave generals, haha, so he can only focus on people like Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong!"
"I have to say that this is Zhu Yunwen's sorrow!"
