Faced with King Yong studying military affairs so hard, Zhang Huangyan said to King Yong during the march: "Your Majesty is a nobleman of the heavenly family, so there is no need to learn these things. In fact, according to the emperor's arrangement, in the future he will enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate and supervise the imperial court. It is best for all officials in the world not to harm the people."

As a result, King Yong sighed: "I am not just playful and curious, but the situation in the world is really worrying. My brother also told me at the first stage that he would make me the governor of Ganliang in the future."

Zhang Huangyan was shocked, he knew where Ganliang was. If the regent arranges this, I guess with a dark psychology, among the three brothers, the regent has nothing to do with his elder brother who is already the actual emperor, but he is planning to exile this younger brother so as not to threaten his status and power.

Is there really no family affection in the Tian family?

King Yong said: "Actually, I know where Ganliang is, but I also understand the good intentions of my brother regent."

Zhang Huang couldn't help being secretly shocked after hearing this: "Since the young prince knows where that place is and has also revealed that he knows the regent's good intentions, then the relationship between the brothers will be even worse from now on. When the two kings fight, this pair The Ming Dynasty is not a good thing. And since King Yong respects me as his teacher, I will definitely be implicated. Think about it when the regent said that I would be responsible for him. Was that also part of the regent's arrangement? How miserable is my life to accompany King Yong to Ganliang?”

However, King Yong said with a serious face: "Now the Ming Dynasty is besieged on all sides. Li Chuang has the ambition to rule across the river, and the most important thing is the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the east, who are always eyeing the Ming Dynasty.

This time after regaining the northwest, we must face the countries in the Western Region and prevent them from adding insult to injury. So my brother was going to put me there, just like when he sent me to Shanhaiguan to supervise the army. He wants me to stabilize the northwest, work hard for him to conquer the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and relieve the worries of the countries in the western region. Faced with such an important task, how dare I take it lightly? I must learn military knowledge as soon as possible and protect my brother's back. "

Hearing King Yong's understanding, Zhang Huangyan was completely relaxed and was truly moved by this brotherly relationship. After that, I would squeeze out even a few sentences to explain my experience of military and political affairs to King Yong in detail.

This period of march benefited King Xiaoyong a lot.

They were sneaking around secretly along the way, and although there were several minor dangers, they were all easily resolved by Zhang Huangyan.

During the march, the patrol sent out in advance received bad news from the front and rear. The regent launched a fierce attack on Hejin and Yumendu, day and night.

Zhang Huangyan immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing, summoned several regiment commanders and battalion commanders, and seriously informed them: "This time our sneak attack plan failed. Next, we will use the only 5,000 men in our hands to launch a sneak attack." , It becomes a head-on attack against the enemy.”

King Yong didn't know why and asked, "Why did Master Zhang say that?"

Zhang Huangyan smiled bitterly: "My little prince, you disappeared in front of the regent, and the regent has already known it. The regent understood immediately that you must be in my army.

The regent was afraid that you would be in danger, so he did not hesitate to scrap the original plan and launched an attack on the rogue bandits in advance, hoping to attract the rogue bandits' attention. However, the regent's concern leads to chaos, and this sudden and abnormal behavior will definitely attract the attention of the rogue bandits. They will immediately think that we are going to sneak attack on their back. "

"What if it's just a false alarm?"

"In the military, we must not take any chances. If nothing else, as long as Gao Yigong suspects this matter, as long as he sends people to patrol along the Yellow River embankment, the gap where we cross the river will be discovered by them immediately ”

A regiment leader stood up and said: "We are still afraid of him when we find him. Since the sneak attack fails, we will attack by force and attack the brothers at Hejin Ferry from both inside and outside." Zhang Huangyan shook his head: "We have five thousand people, and we have to face the enemy. The approximately 200,000 troops prepared can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, and the attack we launched is not even a scratch if it is not taken by surprise. "

"Then what should we do? Are we going to go back in despair?"

Zhang Huangyan smiled: "The war has been launched and the plan has been implemented. How can we give up halfway? When marching and fighting, we must first have a plan. This is necessary. But once the enemy's situation changes and exceeds our plan, we must follow the changes in the enemy's situation. , and adjust our plan. Although the water is impermanent, the direction of the river is there. In the end, it cannot change the general trend of the Yamato flowing eastward into the sea. We are just adjusting the speed of the water. "

The reason why he said it so philosophically was actually for King Xiao Yong to listen to. King Xiao Yong listened extremely seriously.

“The military situation at hand is that in order to attract the rogue bandits and for the safety of King Yong, the regent not only launched an attack on the main force of the rogue bandits in Hejin, but also launched an attack on Yumendu.

The current situation is like this. Although the terrain of Yumen Crossing is narrow, it is not suitable for large armies to cross the river. Moreover, Yumen Crossing is an important pass, and one man can pass it without ten thousand men opening it. But as long as Yumendu is captured, as long as Qi Fei or Wu Sangui's cavalry, even if only 1 people cross the Yellow River through Yumendu and advance into Shaanxi, then Shaanxi will fall.

Gao Yigong would have judged that we were going to sneak attack him, but the guard general of Yumendu would never have thought that we would suddenly attack the ferry that had almost no military value to us.

So I decided that instead of sneaking a surprise attack on Hejin Ferry, we turned around and cooperated with the brothers in Yumendu's attack to take Yumendu by surprise, where the enemy's troops were insufficient. "

This sudden change of plan was approved by all the soldiers.

"In order to save time, this time we no longer have to go around the villages and towns. We run and march quickly. We must cover the two-day distance we have traveled in one day, and then run to Yumendu, with our feet on the back. Do you have the determination and confidence to fight Yumendu? "

"Have."

"Start now, except for weapons, throw away all baggage, and run forward with light equipment. Every day, you must ensure that you run 100 miles. Tell the soldiers that if they fall behind, we will not take them in, and let them solve their own survival problems."

As soon as the order was given, the entire army immediately changed direction, throwing away all the encumbrances on their bodies, including heavy armor, retaining only dry food bags and weapons, and ran all the way north with the energy of their daily long-distance running in training.

During this period, we encountered a village and whizzed away through the village.

But still in this village, he snatched a mule and asked King Yong to ride it and follow the team closely.

Anyone who falls behind can be ignored, but if King Yong falls behind, it will be a huge disaster. (End of chapter)
