Qingcheng.
Yuan Yue stood on the city wall and looked at the undulating grassland in the distance. The lush green grass swayed like waves in the wind.
General Zhou Deben held the telescope, slowly moved the angle, and complained: "The security bureau's intelligence is too slow. Since we have received news of Wu Liangha's rebellion, why haven't we heard about its movements yet?"
Yuan Yue was not in a hurry and said calmly: "Don't think of people from the Security Bureau as having magical powers. They have one pair of eyes and two legs just like you. Although they have some disguise and espionage skills, in the final analysis, they are also ordinary sergeants." . Wu Liangha’s movements are a top-secret matter, not to mention they have a large number of cavalry and a control area of dozens of miles. It is not easy to obtain accurate information in depth. "
Zhou Deben put down his telescope and said solemnly: "How blessed is Daning with its commanders and envoys guarding it? Should we enter Liaodong? There are a large number of people settled in Shenyang, Changchun and Huining, and the Liaodong capital is very empty. The military strength there is It is simply not enough to fight against large-scale cavalry."
Yuan Yue nodded and his face became serious: "You are right, we should enter Liaodong, especially to protect Shenyang, Changchun, Huining, etc. Land. But don’t forget, we can’t leave Daning Dusi alone. This is an important military area, and there are a lot of supplies and firearms. Once it is taken away by Wu Liangha, it will be a real crisis in the Northeast!"
[In view of the general environment,
"Right now, there are not many troops in Daning City, and Old General He Fu is not in good health. If something happens to him, we can't explain it to the court. Besides, if we abandon Daning and directly attack the northeastern lands, Wu Liangha will expose his camp. , those women and children will be directly captured by the Ming Dynasty. The most precious thing in Wuliangha is these women and children. It is impossible for them to cross Daning and directly attack the northeast. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Zhou Deben stared.
From the side, the sound of footsteps came.
Tang Bi, the commander of the Henan capital and the army staff officer, and Xu Wuyue, the commander, came over.
Tang Bi took out a document and handed it to Yuan Yue: "Receive news from Da Ning Dusi. There is a new situation within Wuliangha."
Yuan Yue took the document and looked at it carefully, his face became solemn: "Tulu Huchaer retreated, Timur the Perfect took control of the power, and the troops are currently divided into two groups, one is led by Tianlidu and Bater, Ten thousand soldiers went south to attack Daning, led by Tamerlane the Complete, and twenty thousand soldiers went straight to Shenyang!"
Zhou Deben became anxious: "If this happens, wouldn't Shenyang be in danger? There are more than 30,000 people there. How long have they moved to Shenyang? If it is hit by a military disaster, it will be difficult for Shenyang to regain its popularity!"
Yuan Yue knew that Zhou De was originally from Shandong. Although his family members are now in Western Xinjiang, his tribe is in Shandong. Later, many people responded to the migration strategy and traveled east to the northeast of Guandong.
"Don't panic!"
Yuan Yue shouted calmly, lowered his head and read the document again, and asked Tang Bi and Xu Wuyue: "What do you think?"
Tang Bi said worriedly: "The rebellion of Wu Liangha is a reality, and it is time to attack with swords. Now they are divided into two groups. Judging from the strength of Daning Dusi, it is impossible to carry out long-distance attacks and attacks without supplementary troops. Pursue. Although Commander Hedu asked for our opinion in the document, he actually wanted us to take over the task of pursuing the main force of Ulyanha."
Xu Wuyue nodded heavily: "We should also immediately mobilize the elites of the Yingzhou Three Guards and the Guangning Three Guards to support Daning. The troops in Daning City are somewhat thin, so defense will definitely be no problem, but if we want to counterattack or pursue, the strength of the troops will be extremely inadequate.
foot. "
Yuan Yue thought about the map and shook his head: "The transfer of the three guards in Yingzhou is not something we can decide. Those are the guards controlled by He Fu. He has not used these forces because he hopes to use Daning city defense to consume Wu Liangha. The cavalry, and then mobilize the cavalry to hunt down the elite Ulyanha from the outside. This strategy of cooperating inside and outside is somewhat old-fashioned..."
Tang Bi rolled his eyes at Yuan Yue, trying to save some face for He Fu.
Yuan Yue held the document and his eyes sharpened: "The division of troops in Wuliangha is what worries me the most. There is danger in Shenyang, we can't
Being able to sit back and do nothing. We currently have 20,000 cavalry in hand, and now I need a general to lead the troops to stop Tamerlane the Complete! "
"The general will go where he wishes!"
Zhou Deben stood up immediately.
Other generals also stood up and asked for orders to go out.
Yuan Yue looked at Zhou Deben and said solemnly: "Since you are going, I leave it to you. Go and order three thousand elite soldiers to guard Shenyang."
"Take orders—ah?"
Zhou Deben was stunned, looked at Yuan Yue, thinking that he must have heard wrongly, and asked again: "How many soldiers?"
Yuan Yue said seriously: "Three thousand."
ZhouDeben opened his mouth: "The document says that Tamerlane brought 20,000 cavalry to Shenyang."
Yuan Yue nodded, yes, it says so in the document.
Zhou Deben's eyes widened: "When you ask me to take three thousand cavalry, are you planning to let me die, or are you planning to let three thousand brothers die?"
Yuan Yue's expression remained calm: "You have firearms."
Zhou Deben took a step back: "But damn Wu Liangha has a full 20,000 cavalry!"
Yuan Yue nodded: "You have firearms."
Zhou Deben was angry: "Are they elites or cavalry? Do you expect me to kill 20,000 of them with 3,000?"
Yuan Yue's mouth moved: "You have firearms."
Zhou Deben almost went berserk: "Firearms are not omnipotent. Even if a three-eyed fire blunderbuss equipped by the cavalry kills one at a glance, there are still more than 10,000 Wuliangha elites!"
Yuan Yue disagreed: "Aren't there still thousands of people killed..."
Zhou Deben felt his eyes darken, Yuan Yue, I have been following you for many years. Thinking about the days of military training in Congling, if I hadn't taken care of you, you would have suffocated to death on the plateau.
How could you harm your brother like this!
Tang Bi stretched out his hand, patted Zhou Deben's shoulder, and said majestically: "What are you thinking about? It makes sense to ask you to lead three thousand cavalry. Ask questions after you have clarified them."
Zhou Deben thought about it. Yuan Yue was a very righteous person and would never trap a sergeant to death.
Yuan Yue handed the document to Tang Bi: "According to the document, Wu Liangha's troops were divided into two groups. The one who attacked Daning had 10,000 troops, while the one who attacked Shenyang had 20,000 troops. This arrangement is quite inappropriate."
Tang Bi frowned: "You mean, the people in Wuliangha are also playing tricks with reality?"
Yuan Yue nodded: "The Perfect Tamerlane is a young man. The Security Bureau speaks highly of him, saying that he is resourceful, good at charging, capable of force, and knows the art of war. Among the new generation of Uliangha, he He is considered the strongest person. For such a person who understands the art of war, he will not be unaware of how big a threat Daning poses to them. It would be wishful thinking for ten thousand cavalry to capture Daning."
"What if the mission of Tianlidu and others is just to prevent Daning's troops from moving north?"
Tang Bi asked.
Wu Liangha doesn’t have to go south to Daning, he just needs to stop him
If we stay at Daning's main road to the north and block the Ming army's northward advance, we can hold on until Tamerlane finishes plundering supplies from Shenyang and other places.
Yuan Yue smiled: "The Ender Timur has been to Jinling and watched the military parade. He knows that the Ming Dynasty has firearms and he also knows how powerful the firearms are. It is not easy to stop them. In my opinion, the Ender Tiemur Mu'er is most likely greeting us."
"Oh, what's the explanation?"
Tang Bi asked.
Yuan Yue pointed to the east: "The Perfect Tamerlane led cavalry. The cavalry is fast and good at attacking in roundabout ways. If we know that he went straight to Shenyang and then led troops to rescue Shenyang, then the Perfect Timur is likely to We will lead the troops to retreat and assist Tianlidu in capturing Daning City. By then, we will be far away in Shenyang, and it will be too late to retreat for rescue."
Tang Bi, Xu Wuyue and others nodded repeatedly.
In terms of familiarity with the topography, geography and roads of the Northeast, the Ming army is not as good as the Uliangha people. However, this area is mostly grassland with many roads. If the Uliangha army turns around halfway, the Ming army may not be able to grasp it immediately. trend.
In this way, Shenyang can hold on, but Daning may be in danger.
Xu Wuyue was a little confused:
"SoThe real purpose of Timur the Perfect is actually Daning, so why send Zhou Deben to Shenyang?"
Tang Bi glanced at Xu Wuyue and said seriously: "The virtual is the real, the virtual is the real, and the real is the virtual. The art of war has never been determined. If we don't send troops to assist Shenyang, then Tamerlane is likely to change The strategy is to attack Shenyang. If we send troops to assist Shenyang, it will prompt Tamerlane to return to Daning."
Yuan Yue looked at Zhou Deben and said solemnly: "So, the main force cannot be moved. You can only take three thousand soldiers to Shenyang."
Zhou Deben understood.
Yuan Yue planned to stay here and chose to work with He Fu to eliminate Wu Liangha's elite around Daning!
"What if, I mean what if, if I make a mistake in judgment and Tamerlane the Perfect really brings 20,000 elites to Shenyang and has no intention of fighting back against Daning, what should I do?"
Zhou Deben clenched his fists.
Yuan Yue raised his head, feeling a little heavy in his heart.
When marching and fighting, the most feared thing is making mistakes in judgment. But on the battlefield, things are changing rapidly and the enemy's situation is unclear. No one dares to say that his judgment is absolutely accurate.
If the judgment is wrong, the price paid will be the lives of thousands of sergeants, and even the lives of tens of thousands of civilians, including the many years of hard work that Ming Dynasty has invested in Shenyang!
But was my judgment wrong?
Yuan Yue believed that Daning was too important. He believed that Daning was like a nail nailed into Wu Liangha's body. If they wanted to plot the Northeast and control the situation, they had to pull out this nail. Only in this way could they free up space. Arms and legs, fight to the east, north, and south without restraint.
Wu Liangha will not give up on his tribe and people, they will definitely solve their worries first!
Timur the Perfect was a new man, and the victory he longed for was by no means massacre of the people. This kind of action would not bring him glory or halo, nor would it strengthen his majesty and status.
He needs a hearty victory, a symbolic victory!
Daning!
He will definitely come to Daning!
"My judgment is not wrong. Tamerlane, the Perfect One, will definitely come to Daning!"
Yuan Yue said categorically!
Zhou Deben instantly felt at ease and looked at Yuan Yue with eyes full of determination. Yes, his judgment would definitely not be wrong!
