At the foot of Zhuojun City, Temujin's royal tent was held.
Just when Yang Gao decided to use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to stabilize Luo Yi, and wait until he regained Youzhou to settle accounts with him, Temujin was also planning how to fight against Yang Gao.
In the middle of the king's tent, Temujin sat solemnly, while Tuo Lei, Mu Huali, Zu Chunlan, Chi Laowen, Wang Baobao, Zhebie and other generals sat on both sides. In addition, Wanyan Aguda's envoys Wanyan Loushi and Nurhaci were also among the group. It was impossible for Wanyan Aguda to abandon his army and come to Temujin's king's tent.
"Everyone is here!"
After everyone sat down, Temujin slowly said: "Everyone must understand the current situation. Sui Emperor Yang Gao has ended the Hebei Campaign and led the main army north to Youzhou. What should we do next? Everyone Tell me."
"I can't believe that before Ye County was conquered, with Zhu Yuanzhang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses lying beside him, Emperor Sui would dare to lead his army northward. Isn't he afraid of something happening in the rear?" Prince Tuo Lei shook his head in disbelief.
"Your Highness, Zhu Yuanzhang is just a general under Dou Jiande, and his internal foundation is unstable. It is difficult to achieve anything without Hebei this time."
Behind Nurhachi, Fan Wencheng stepped out from the crowd, raised his hands and saluted Tuolei, and said: "Youzhou has been an important town in the north since ancient times. During the Daye Period, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty used Zhuojun as a base to gather troops, horses, and weapons. , grain reserves to conquer Goguryeo. If Youzhou is lost, the entire Hebei will lose its barrier and be completely exposed to the iron hoof of our army. After weighing the two factors, Yang Gao will inevitably choose to go north to Youzhou."
“After all, it’s you Han people who understand you Han people.”
Temujin raised his head and glanced at Fan Wencheng. Whether it was ridicule or approval, he said slowly: "Then what do you think should be done next?"
Fan Wencheng smiled slightly and said confidently: "King Yuan, I thought that during the next battle in Zhuojun City, Luo Yi stayed behind closed doors and refused to go out to meet the Sui army. His desire to protect himself was fully exposed. How could Yang Gao do it? Tolerating the existence of such a warlord will inevitably lead to conflict between the two, we just need to wait and see what happens and reap the benefits."
"fool!"
When Temujin heard this, he immediately scolded: "Luo Yi is small and Yang Gao is powerful. How can there be a situation where two tigers are fighting? Zhuojun is so important. Even if Yang Gao is temporarily angry because of today's incident, can his subordinates Is there no one who understands anymore? Is it just luck that Yang Gao's success today? You are really stupid, get out of here!"
Temujin's rebuke made the pretentious Fan Wencheng blush and hurriedly walked away, causing everyone in the tent to burst into laughter.
After Fan Wencheng had gone far away, Tuo Lei slowly stepped out and said, "Father Khan, this slave's words are not without merit. Luo Yi is ambitious, and we may not be able to use tricks to induce him to submit."
Temujin shook his head and said: "Our army and Luo Yi fought continuously. Even if Luo Yi can be lured to surrender by us, the soldiers and people of Zhuojun will never surrender to me, Dayuan.
What's more, although Sui Emperor Yang Gao was young, he was by no means idle. In my opinion, he will definitely win over Luo Yi with his high-ranking official and generous salary recently. I'm afraid it will be difficult to alienate Luo Yi in a short time. "
"Our Turkic warriors are all brave and good at fighting, and they swept through Youzhou with overwhelming force. How can Yang Gao, a mere child, be of any use?"
Zhebie, who is known as the master archer, said proudly: "Great Khan, we have nearly 200,000 Turkic Jurchen coalition troops under Zhuojun City. The Sui army only has more than 100,000 people. Why should the Great Khan bother to use tricks? Just defeat the Sui army head-on!"
"General Zhebie, don't underestimate the enemy!"
Among the Four Mongolian Heroes, Mu Huali, who is famous for Shen Yi and his wisdom, slowly said: "In the early years, our army also fought against the Tang Army under the command of Chai Rong in Bingzhou. The combat power of the Tang Army is obvious to all. The Sui Army can continue to fight." He defeated the Tang army and successively captured Bashu, Luoyang and other places, but I am afraid that its combat power will be far greater than that of the Tang army."
"Yes, the reason why Luo Yi, a barbarian, has resisted until today is precisely because he has great hopes for the Sui army!"
Wang Baobao nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "But the same thing, if our army can defeat the main force of the Sui army in one battle, then Luo Yi will abandon all illusions, and Zhuojun will be destroyed without any attack!"
"General Timur (Wang Baobao's real name is Timur) also means to defeat the main force of the Sui army first!" Mu Huali asked in a deep voice.
Wang Baobao nodded and said: "Our army is mainly based on cavalry, which is better at field battles than attacking cities. What's more, now that the Sui army's reinforcements have arrived, it is impossible for our army to attack the city with all its strength."
"That's what General Timur said."
On behalf of Wanyan Aguda, who attended the meeting, Nurhaci, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in history, echoed: "This time, the two barbarians of the Sui army almost defeated our army with only 5,000 soldiers and horses. If our army attacks Zhuoxian again, it will definitely be defeated. When the main force of the Sui army attacks, the situation will be very bad."
"What the two generals said does make sense!"
Temujin nodded slowly and said, "But Muhuali is right. The hundreds of thousands of Sui troops are by no means idle. The outcome of a head-on battle is unpredictable!"
"Father Khan!"
Tuo Lei immediately offered his advice: "The art of war is clear. The three armies have not moved, so food and grass go first. Boy'er believes that we should give full play to the strengths of our army and send elite cavalry deep into Hebei to plunder the Sui army's food and grass, burn down the Sui army's logistics centers, and disrupt the Sui army. Military spirit.”
"Sweat!"
Wang Baobao admires Han culture, otherwise he would not have given himself a Han name. After Tuo Lei finished speaking, he also raised his hand and said: "The general heard that Emperor Yang Gao of the Sui Dynasty was conducting imperial examinations, clearing land, outlawing private soldiers, and greatly damaging the interests of the gentry. The general thought that he could send an envoy to urge Li Tang to come forward. Speak to the Hebei nobles and disrupt Yang Gao's rear!"
"The hundreds of thousands of Sui troops cannot be defeated overnight. Just follow your wishes and let Yang Gao suffer for a few days!"
Temujin nodded and said: "Zuzuchun, you will lead the army to Hebei. Remember, break it into pieces, disperse and attack, and use the maneuverability of the cavalry to turn Hebei upside down!"
Zu Chuan immediately raised his hands and said: "I will obey the orders of the Great Khan!"
Temujin smiled slightly again, looked at Wanyan Loushi and said: "General Loushi, please go back and tell your Wolf Lord, please also send an elite team to cooperate with our army to disrupt Hebei!"
Wanyan Loushi and Nurhaci raised their hands together and said: "Don't worry, Great Khan, our two armies are allies, and my wolf master will definitely send troops to assist General Zu!"
"Okay, that's good, that's good!"
Temujin laughed and said: "There is no need to besiege Zhuojun these days. Send an order to all the troops to recuperate for a few days, recharge their batteries, and wait for the main force of the Sui army to come and die!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
All the generals in the tent laughed together and said: "Don't worry, Great Khan, the general will do his best to chop off Yang Gao's head and offer it to the Great Khan!"
