"From a child's point of view, the Huai army is indeed very powerful and will be our army's formidable enemy in the future. If possible, it would be best to contact Chen Baxian, Liu Yu, and Sun Jian to form an alliance, follow the example of the Battle of Chibi, and jointly destroy the Huai army that went south!"
"If the elite of the Huai army is destroyed, our army can directly cross the river and go north to capture Yangzhou..."
"However, our army has just finished the war and needs time to reorganize its troops, and Liu Yu and Chen Baxian may not be able to join forces with us, so now our army can only watch the Huai army cross the river, and wait until the rest is over before sending out troops!"
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said.
He was talking about the current situation of the Ming army. When Yang Shiqi and Zhang Huangyan heard this, they also showed approval on their faces.
They all first put themselves in an invincible position, and then find ways to solve the enemy's thoughts.
The Ming army had just experienced a great war. This is a fact.
The two armies fought, and the Ming army lost nearly 100,000 soldiers in total, as well as a large amount of food and grass. Whether it was the lost soldiers or the food, grass and baggage, it would take a certain amount of time to replenish it.
Moreover, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to achieve great things in the first place was not because of his nine-character mantra of building walls high, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly.
In the world of China.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation and strength, it is impossible to maintain a low profile and slowly claim the throne, but the words "build walls high and store grain widely" will never go out of style.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.
"Wenzhong, what do you think?"
Li Wenzhong remained silent. After being called upon by Zhu Yuanzhang, he said: "I thought that since King Huai dared to lead his army south, he must be well prepared. The elite soldiers and horses of the Sun family of Soochow are still fighting with Xiao Daocheng and Liu Bi. The elite troops are Outside, if we can’t quickly assemble the elite, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we’re defeated!”
"Once Wang Jing gets the land of Su Chang, it will be difficult to defeat him, so the only way now is to wait until the main force of the Huai army crosses the river, then send an elite force to cross the river north, and join forces with Chen Ba to go east to threaten Yangzhou! "
"Yangzhou is in danger, and the Huai army must have unstable military morale..."
In fact, when he said these words, Li Wenzhong felt a little helpless.
The Ming army had too few cards to play.
If the Ming army was not separated by Liu Yu to the east and was directly adjacent to Xiao Daocheng, then as long as the Huai army dared to go south, the Ming army would directly pass through Xiao Daocheng's territory and join forces with Sun Jian to deal with the Huai army.
But with the Liu and Song forces in the middle, they couldn't reach it even if they wanted to send troops directly.
As for the threat to Yangzhou from the north, the threat to the Huai Army is not that great. After all, the Huai Army has more than one million soldiers and a huge guard force that has not been mobilized, so it is stronger than the Ming Army.
Even if more than half of the elite troops were sent to cross the Yangtze River and go south, the soldiers and horses left behind should not be underestimated. If the Ming army did not use all its strength, it would be difficult to capture Yangzhou.
Therefore, Li Wenzhong's suggestions only sound feasible, but the implementation results are not significant.
It's not that Li Wenzhong is incompetent, but that the situation of the Ming army and Huai army is like this, and there is no way to make up for it.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
"What Wen Zhong said makes sense, but you must remember that the most important thing in fighting for world hegemony is vision. You must know what you can do and what you must do..."
"What you said is all right, but it is not advisable to sit back and watch the Huai army go south, or to send elite troops north to attack Yangzhou!"
"Our current military strength is not as good as that of the Huai Army. When the Huai Army annexes Soochow, the gap will be even greater! So when the Huai Army is expanding, we must also expand rapidly. The best way is not to stop the Huai Army, but to strengthen ourselves!"
Zhu Biao's eyes moved and he suddenly understood.
His own ability is outstanding, and the training before Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival has made his ability and vision even better, and he understands the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
at this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang said, strode to the map hanging next to him, and pointed to the southwest of Yingtian Mansion.
"This is our goal!"
"When the Huai army attacks Soochow, Biao'er will be stationed in Jinling. We will personally lead the troops and destroy Sima's Jin army first!"
At the end of his speech, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were sharp.
Zhu Biao, Li Wenzhong, as well as Zhang Huangyan and Yang Shiqi in the palace, only saw that the Ming army had just ended the war and was temporarily unable to dispatch a large army. Coupled with the objective situation, they could only sit back and watch the Huai army expand.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew this.
He also knew that when the Huai army moved south, it would be difficult for the Ming army to cause trouble for them in a short period of time.
So he changed his mind directly.
The Huai army went south to deal with the Sun family of Dongwu, which meant that they would not send troops to Jinling in the short term. Liu Yu's family background was weaker than his, and he would not send troops to Jinling in the short time after the war ended.
Therefore, although Jinling has enemies on all sides, these enemies will not attack the Ming army for various reasons.
This is the opportunity!
An opportunity to go all out, break the blockade of surrounding forces, and quickly grow yourself!
The one targeted by Zhu Yuanzhang was the Eastern Jin Dynasty southwest of Jinling. At this time, Chang Yuchun had already sent troops to prevent the Huai army from leaving Dangtu and threatening Jinling.
If he personally leads the troops on an expedition and joins forces with Chang Yuchun, how can the Jin army be the opponent of their monarchs and ministers? There is no need to use all the troops, only the elite of the Ming army need to be mobilized, and the food and grass needed can also be solved by giving food to the enemy...
Before Xu Da Chang Yuchun led his army to the expedition.
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was also an expert at leading troops. However, when he later became emperor, he could not often conduct military campaigns himself, so he gave the opportunity to lead troops to Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others.
In terms of commanding ability, Zhu Yuanzhang is stronger than Xu, Chang, and Fu. Can be ranked at the forefront in history.
Teacher Yuan Shimin once said that since ancient times, there is no one more capable in the army than Li Shimin, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang. It's hard to say this evaluation, because Liu Xiu's ability to lead troops is also not weak.
This mainly depends on the evaluation based on the performance. After all, Li Tang can win the world, and Li Shimin can take 70 or even 80% of the credit.
After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he basically stopped fighting in person, so in terms of his contribution to conquering the world, his performance was not as outstanding as Li Shimin's.
Li Shimin's ability to lead troops is almost the same as that of Li Jing.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a little behind, but he is still second only to Sun Wu, Han Bai, and Wei Huo and Li Yue. If he is compared with famous historical generals, he is definitely a military general in the heavenly realm.
Wang Jing has been constantly learning and improving himself over the years. Apart from his strength, his ability to lead troops is far inferior to that of his opponent.
Chang Yuchun is known for his bravery and invincibility, and is also a powerful general in the heavenly realm. At this time, his strength has not yet returned to its peak, but he is still invincible on the battlefield.
A commander and monarch with almost top-level commanding ability, plus an invincible general on the battlefield.
This combination can defeat most of the forces.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty was no exception.
Even in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were Xie Xuan and Tao Kan. is also like this.
"The father is wise, and the child understands!"
Zhu Biao said.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and patted him on the shoulder. There was no cruelty or coldness at all as rumored...
Li Wenzhong glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang quietly, and then glanced at Zhu Biao.
That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang felt so comfortable in front of his own sons, especially Prince Zhu Biao. All civil and military personnel in Jinling understand this.
I understand Zhu Biao's position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart better.
