Chapter 33 Wei Guogong’s tactics
Mu Ying was stunned and said: "My lord, this is contradictory to the order given to Lan Yu just now."
Wei Guogong Xu Da had a look of wisdom on his face as honest as an old farmer, and said: "Using soldiers is also about using people. Some orders look one way in the hands of some people, and some orders look like another in the hands of others. Looks like it."
"If I give you the order to Lan Yu, you will never cross the Yellow River. But Lan Yu is different. For Brother Chang's sake, no one has made trouble for Lan Yu over the years. Some little The problem is to turn a blind eye or close one eye. If an ordinary person does that like Lan Yu, he doesn’t know how many times he has gone up and down. Even if he is talented. However, he doesn’t know whether this is good or bad. In this way Come on, I have developed the spirit of Lan Yu. I dare to poke a hole in God. But when it comes to military orders, generals have always ignored foreign military orders. When they see a fighter plane, they don't care what the original military order is. "
Seeing a trace of doubt on Mu Ying's face, Wei Guogong said, "You are wondering, since you know Lan Yu's temperament, why did you send Lan Yu?"
Mu Ying said: "The Duke of the country is wise, and this is what the general thinks."
Wei Guogong said: "I used Lan Yu's sharpness, and now Monan has basically been determined. The situation in Mobei is unknown. Although we have sent countless people to the grassland over the years, the results have been very small. We will also recruit Some surrendered people. Now there are not many surrendered people. There is a map of Mobei. But what the enemy situation in Mobei is like, everyone in the Ming Dynasty is confused. Now that we have captured Monan in one battle, Can Yuan will definitely There will be some action. I asked Lan Yu to go, just to see how much residual Yuan he still has?"
Mu Ying was stunned and said, "Isn't that blue jade dangerous?"
Wei Guogong's face turned gloomy and he said, "Did I let him go? If he follows my order and stops at the Little Yellow River. Even if he encounters an enemy, the army will be behind him, and reinforcements will be available in a few days, or he can escape directly." But if he disobeys military orders, I will teach him a lesson by letting him suffer a great loss."
Only now did Mu Ying feel the murderous aura in Duke Wei.
Although Wei Guogong Xu Da has been tepid in recent years, he has never compromised in executing Zhu Yuanzhang's orders. In other respects, there are no extraneous matters. If you have merit, you will be given favors. If you have faults, you will consult Zhu Yuanzhang before making a decision. He seems to be a really nice guy.
This is because Xu Da is now the head of the heroes, with fame, wealth and everything. Don't care at all. Only then did he restrain his sharpness, just like a doughy wealthy official.
But don’t forget that even Lan Yu’s wife and brother were married back then. When the man who was running rampant in the Central Plains, Chang Shiwan, did not dare to make a mistake in front of Xu Da. This is also the time when Wei Guogong restrained his temper. If he had acted like Lan Yu during the Northern Expedition, he would have been killed long ago.
Even today's situation is just a lesson, and there is no intention to do anything to Lan Yu. It's just to sharpen Lan Yu's temperament.
Otherwise, Mu Ying would not be sent to take over from behind.
Only with the skills of a champion can you have the temper of a champion. If Lan Yu wins a big victory, Xu Da won't care about his bad temper. If you don't have this ability, just enjoy the escape package. By the way, Lan Yu's troops were used to conduct an armed reconnaissance on the main force of the residual element.
Feel the other person’s confidence.
If Xu Da can figure out the opponent's strength, even if Xu Da breaks the blue jade, Xu Da will not blink his eyes. Because after finding out the opponent's strength, Xu Da was confident that he would fight again in Mobei.
Mu Ying said: "I will finally understand."
Sometimes people cannot understand each other. Just like Mu Ying and Lan Yu.
Mu Ying is well-mannered and has a good relationship with the court. In the eyes of many elders such as Xu Da, she is a good boy. As a result, it is inevitable to shrink from many things. After Lan Yu's death, many of the Chang family's connections came to Lan Yu's side and were taken care of by many people. It's not that he is lawless. At least he treats the prince and princess with respect. But he could not help but look down on others. Although he was honest in front of Xu Da, after he went out, he would inevitably say to his subordinates that Wei Guogong was old and acted like an old woman with bound feet. Lan Yu looked at Mu Ying like a little old man. When Mu Ying looked at Lan Yu, she felt that Lan Yu had no brain. Are there certain things that can be said? Are there things that can be done?
It's just that at this moment Muying feels deep sympathy for Lan Yu. Duke Wei Guogong has always had a good temper in these years. If he can change because of Lan Yu, it means that Lan Yu has great ability to commit suicide.
Xu Da said lightly: "Go. Wait half a day after Lan Yu leaves the camp, and then your troops will leave the camp. Don't be too slow, just go at the normal speed. Once Lan Yu leaves the camp, he will definitely travel day and night. I'm afraid that if he walks too slowly, Tatar Be prepared. Your normal speed is just right."
Muying immediately went down to make arrangements.
Xu Da immediately made other arrangements to arrange many veterans.
Immediately he began to write a memorial, detailing everything on the front line. In many things, he is not good at making opinions. It goes beyond the scope defined by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Xu Da.
As long as it is a major war, Zhu Yuanzhang will give him instructions in person. In other words, how to fight this battle is Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy. In fact, this is essentially the same as the Song Dynasty emperor drawing up a formation map before the war started.
The only difference. That is Zhu Yuanzhang's military talent, which is considered to be among the best among ancient and modern emperors. He was probably defeated by Li Er. As for other emperors, they dare not say they were better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, the strategies formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang are generally very reliable.
But the question is, Xu Da’s military talent versus Zhu Yuanzhang’s military talent? Who is higher and who is lower?
It's hard to answer this question, but if you think about it, you will know that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was already far away from the front line. Xu Da suffered many fierce battles. What really made Xu Daying famous was the series of battles after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Especially the several duels with Wang Baobao. It is exciting and exciting, with each having its own victory or defeat, no less than the duel between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang.
One has been away from the military front line for almost twenty years, and the other has independently supported the northern defense line during these twenty years and has faced off against the most amazing men in the world several times. There were many large and small wars.
In fact, there is already a tendency to decide who is superior in the military. It just can't be proven.
But Xu Da has always been willing to be the executor of Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. Any military plan, no matter how sophisticated it is, will be a disaster if it does not have a good executor. And an ordinary military plan, if it gets a good executor, can turn decay into magic.
Xu Da was such a person who was willing to attribute everything to the emperor and was the executor of the emperor's military plans. Although there will be some fine-tuning under specific circumstances. But generally speaking, we still follow Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.
Xu Da wrote several letters in a row. Some were written to Zhu Yuanzhang through formal channels, which were all on the surface. Some were written to Zhu Yuanzhang through Jinyiwei channels, which were secretly meant to express things. There were also some private letters, which were related to Zhu Yuanzhang communicated at a higher level.
etc.
After Xu Da finished all this, he stood next to the map and looked down at it carefully. The area in the middle of Monan and Mobei is the vast sea of Gobi. Now the place between Inner Mongolia and Mongolia. Xu Da secretly thought: "The whole north will not be calm this year. It's just that the Gobi is dangerous, so no one will make any big moves. The real big moves will probably be here."
Xu Da shifted his gaze to one side of the map, which was Liaodong. In current terms, it is the Northeast Plains. But in this era, it is only regarded as part of the grassland. The Gobi Desert is difficult to climb. It's not like Xu Da has never tried. His army went out to attack Mobei in the vast sea and almost didn't come back. The grasslands of Gein today are different from the grasslands of the Han Dynasty, and the desertification of the land is more serious. What used to be grassland is now the Gobi desert. Therefore, it is more difficult to cross the vast sea than it was for the Han army.
The Northeast is different too. The Liaoxi Corridor in the Han Dynasty was still in the sea. Without this road, it would be extremely difficult to go over mountains and ridges in Liaodong.
Not to mention shipping.
The shift in strategic focus has become inevitable.
