Chapter 29 Trap
He Xi secretly thought: "This is not good."
Many decisions are driven by reality.
It's like He Xi originally thought that Goryeo would be destroyed and the population of Goryeo would be migrated to fill Liaodong. It's very cruel, too much. But now the huge Liaodong has a population of only a few hundred thousand. To support even one Northern Expedition, the people of Liaodong would have to work hard, and every household would have to die.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for He Xi to do anything he wanted to do.
This results in different ideas for solving problems.
He Xi came to Liaodong to develop Liaodong. It was not to provide support for the Northern Expedition. If the population problem is not solved, there will be no development at all. Now He Xi has already felt the benefits of Liaodong. He Xi can control every young man in Liaodong without any intermediate level. There is no gentry influence.
He Xi can do whatever she wants.
The only pity is that there are too many people.
In fact, it can also be the other way around. If there were not too few people, Zhu Yuanzhang would not put Liaodong under military control.
From He Xi's point of view, so what if Yuan Ting was destroyed in one fell swoop? It was just that the generals had some achievements in destroying the country and were promoted to high positions. However, the Yuan Dynasty no longer dared to go south, and there were only some harassing wars. Moreover, the Yuan Dynasty could not control various ministries. Even if the Yuan Dynasty fell, this harassment would not change.
Therefore, the priority of developing Liaodong must be higher than destroying the Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, He Xi did not advocate the immortality of the Yuan Dynasty. It's just a little delayed.
But other generals don't think so. Conferring a wolf to Xu is the highest honor for a general. You actually said it's not a priority enough. This is something they absolutely cannot bear.
As for Lan Yu herself, if Lan Yu can preside over this battle, Lan Yu feels more positive than anyone else. But Lan Yu didn't think that this good thing would happen to him. As far as this battle was concerned, there was no problem with Feng Sheng's command.
And although Sapphire has merit. But there is still no way to compare with these veterans.
He felt that if he went on the Northern Expedition, this matter would not fall on him, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already promised him the destruction of Goryeo. Naturally, he first looked for something to settle down. Although Goryeo was not as good as the Yuan Dynasty, the gold content of the country's destruction was a bit low. But it doesn't matter. This is enough blue jade to make a prince.
This is why Lan Yu came to remind him.
He Xi thought about it for a long time and said to himself: "This matter can only be reported to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can hold down those honorable ministers."
Seeing that He Xi was deep in thought, Lan Yu said, "You should think about it carefully. By the way, tell Ye Wang that you don't need to work so hard in ambush. After all, I estimate that Tamerlane will not come." Hit you."
He Xi was stunned, woke up, and said, "Did Song Guogong's plan fail?"
Lan Yu glanced at He Xi, shook her head and said, "If Timur doesn't come to your place, it doesn't mean that Song Guogong's plan has failed. If you set a trap for your prey, you will only lay one trap?"
He Xi understood immediately.
It seems that Feng Sheng set more than one trap in order to seduce Timur. And this is just one of the traps.
He Xi blurted out, "Why didn't Song Guogong tell me?"
Lan Yu didn't bother to answer at all, snorted coldly, turned around and left. What he needs to ventilate has already been ventilated, and the rest depends on what happens.
He Xi also reacted to Lan Yudi's cold snort.
How could Song Guogong tell him that acting requires a complete performance? What if He Xi knew the truth about this incident and made many mistakes in the arrangements and was discovered by the other party?
He Xi couldn't help but slap her forehead. I felt like I was stupid just now. The brain is short-circuited.
If he were the Duke of Song, he would do the same.
In fact, it is also human nature. When he treated his subordinates like this, he didn't feel there was anything wrong. But when others use this method to place him, there are still some emotions in his heart. Because of this, He Xicai did not react immediately.
------
Sapphire's judgment was very accurate.
He Xi didn't know exactly how many traps Feng Sheng had laid for Tamerlane. But He Xi knew that the trap hosted by the double-sword general Wang Bi was the prey.
Feng Sheng arranged for three thousand men to stand behind the army. After the army had crossed the river, the Tatar army suddenly appeared and surrounded the three thousand cavalrymen separated by a river. Looking at the Tatar cavalry, there are at least 30,000. Ten times the enemy. Want to annihilate this broken army.
Little did he know that the flags of these three thousand cavalrymen were changed from the flags of the unknown soldiers to the flags of Wang Bi.
Wang Bi, a veteran general, followed His Majesty in raising troops and fought many dangerous and fierce battles. To him, today's scene was just a small scene. Not to mention, Wang Bi's men are also carefully selected soldiers, such as the young general Ping An. Right there.
For a time, although the number of people was very different, the fight was actually at a stalemate.
Of course, this is also due to the updated weapons of the Ming army. At least these three thousand people have chain armor and iron armor on their bodies. Even the horses are covered with a layer of light chain armor. In short, without increasing the weight, , has been armed to the extreme.
So it can often be seen on the battlefield. A soldier was covered in arrows and looked like a hedgehog, but he still fought fiercely and had no problems with his actions.
Tamerlane used his experience ten years ago to fight the current war, and he was naturally defeated. Because of He Xi's arrival, technological progress is accelerating. And this veteran is obviously not very adaptable to this rhythm.
The situation below is naturally very clear.
Under Feng Sheng's command, the Ming army quickly surrounded them from both wings, trying to swallow up the main force of tens of thousands of Yuan troops. However, as a veteran, Timur is not a vegetarian. He was extremely straightforward in doing things, and could not do anything when he saw something happened. Without saying a word, he sent more than a thousand cavalry to continue to fight with Wang Bi, and the army ran away.
It has to be said that today's Ming Dynasty has ways to deal with the attacking Mongolian cavalry. But there was nothing that could be done against the fleeing Mongolian cavalry. If you can't catch up, even if you catch up, you can easily get bitten if you chase too closely.
Therefore, in this massive roundup, only more than 2,000 people were beheaded and more than 1,000 people were captured.
It's not really a big victory.
However, there is one thing that Feng Sheng and others value most. That is the specific location of Yuanting.
He Xi is just a guess. But now these prisoners have proved this. Although the specific location of Yuan Ting cannot be locked. But at least one thing has been verified, that is, He Xi's idea is correct.
When Feng Sheng heard the news, looking at the distant mountains and flowing water, he couldn't help but scream up to the sky. With his status, ordinary achievements are nothing. Even the result of this Northern Expedition was just to give him some additional salary and a few more empty titles.
However, the contribution to the destruction of the country was attributed to the enemy chiefs. This is a major event related to his past life and his posthumous reputation. How could he not be excited? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Sheng has rarely been so excited. The last time I was so excited was when I was being knighted.
Feng Sheng didn't know that the ending of his battle was not perfect in history. During the retreat, three thousand troops were killed by the Yuan army. A general was lost in battle. In addition, Chang Mao clashed with him. There was also Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to suppress the heroes. Although this battle was considered a victory. But Feng Sheng only had punishments but no rewards.
More importantly, he was also dismissed as the head coach.
But now that He Xi has entered, the situation has become completely different. In fact, the abundance of food and grass gives Feng Sheng more leeway. Historically, Feng Sheng only had three months of food, so he started killing sheep for food almost as soon as he captured this captive.
Therefore, time is tight for retreat. There are mistakes in many places. Only then did the Yuan army catch the loophole. But now, the food and grass to support the army are naturally not endless. But with the support of this food and grass, coupled with Feng Sheng's mature experience, it became him to plot against the Yuan army, rather than the Yuan army plotting against him.
They are also old rivals, and they lose experience even if they lose. Only then did he cut off his tail to survive. If it were other generals of the Yuan army, not only would they lose their entire main force here today, but they would also have to lose a few arms and legs, not just a tail.
But Feng Sheng didn't know this, and he wouldn't be grateful to He Xi.
And he doesn't know yet that he and He Xi are about to be on opposite sides of the aisle.
