Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 40 40 I’m good at talking on paper

Wang Buli thought for a while:

"Once Wang Baobao dies, Beiyuan's military alliance will inevitably be in turmoil."

"Not bad." Director Guo nodded:

"In recent years, His Majesty defeated Fang Guozhen, moved to capture Fujian, captured Shandong on the northern battlefield, and then occupied the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. He then marched into Shanxi and the northwest, driving the remaining Yuan forces to Mobei.

In the fourth year of Hongwu's reign, the Xia regime entrenched in Sichuan was eliminated. In my opinion, Your Majesty should go south to capture Yunnan. "

"That's wrong." Wang Buli immediately shook his head and said, "Wang Baobao just died, so the most suitable place to take action is not Yunnan."

"Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite proud.

He knew that Wang Buli, a young and energetic boy, would take the bait if he deliberately made mistakes or omissions.

Now that he heard Wang Buli say it was not Yunnan, he was very satisfied.

"After the demise of the Xia regime, in addition to the Yuan clan in Mobei, there were two hostile forces in the Ming Dynasty, one was the residual Yuan force in Yunnan, and the other was Hanachu in the northeast. Both of these forces used the reign names of the Yuan Dynasty. "

Wang Buli sighed and said: "They followed the orders of the Yuan clan and occupied their own territory. Because His Majesty was busy with military affairs, he did not continuously send troops to annihilate these two remaining forces after the destruction of Xia."

"So, do you think His Majesty will attack Liaodong first?"

"Do not."

Wang Buli's words surprised Zhu Yuanzhang. You just said these two things, but in the end you didn't advocate attacking.

"The two sides are thousands of miles apart and cannot communicate with each other at all. Wang Baobao's death will have little impact on the Yuan soldiers entrenched in Yunnan, but will have a great impact on the strength entrenched in Mobei."

Wang Buli reached out and fiddled with the tea cup on the table: "Beiyuan's military power is based on three pillars. Now that one foot is holding the hand, the generals under Wang Baobao should be worried most.

Therefore, I believe that with His Majesty's military and strategic vision, he will definitely send troops to the northwest to attack these people.

This is the most appropriate strategy to remove the wings first and then attack the heart. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly surprised.

This plan was taught to his eldest son Zhu Biao, and it is impossible for others to know.

This kid is still talented in the military!

But Zhu Yuanzhang soon calmed down. He has experienced many "geniuses" over the years.

Many generals in Huaixi are like this.

Xu Da also came from a peasant family, and his skills were not accumulated by surviving on the battlefield.

"You have moved His Majesty out, how can I refute this?" Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.

"Mr. Guo, the two of us are just chatting casually and talking about military affairs on paper. If I go to the battlefield and I am destined to wet my pants, it is nothing compared to the time when Master Guo actually fought with all his life on the battlefield."

Wang Buli always controls the rhythm of chatting.

He was waiting in front of this veteran to show that he had knowledge in this field.

Do as you like!

From now on, the two of us will chat as much as possible while at work.

Isn’t this just fishing in an aboveboard way?

Wang Buli knew that the purpose of Chief Guo's coming here was to discuss the ogre.

But he refused to let him speak today.

Anyone who takes over that case will be in trouble, so staying away is the best course of action.

Otherwise, what would he, the head of the Criminal Department, be doing here chatting with a petty official?

"Hahaha, I wet my pants the first time I went to the battlefield." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed while stroking his beard.

Wang Buli took a sip of tea and said: "It's so normal. Mr. Guo thought he was forced by the Yuan Dynasty to survive.

I was destined to die, but now I live a worry-free life, which means I have a good life! "

Not only do we have a good life!

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite proud of this kind of thing.

That’s why I work harder.

He wants to make this hard-won world stronger. So that future generations will not have to work hard with their heads in their belts like him.

Parents have far-reaching plans for their children.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again: "But in the fifth year of Hongwu, the imperial court sent out elite soldiers and strong generals, but they ended in failure. What do you think is the reason?"

"I'm not sure about that. I didn't read all those military reports."

Daming still kept a tight lid on the specific circumstances of his defeat.

Wang Buli naturally doesn't know everything.

Everyone has a desire to express themselves, especially since he has said enough just now and all his words have been drawn out. It's time for Director Guo to show off in front of him.

Wang Buli is quite good at this kind of situation.

When he finishes speaking, he will answer it right away, so that’s it, adding a questioning tone and so on.

He had long been prepared for the meeting of civil engineering leaders.

"First, the three Ming armies did not fully follow His Majesty's stated strategic intentions."

"Oh, how do you say it?" Wang Buli showed interest immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "In the middle route, Wei Guogong did not use his troops cautiously and let the enemy attack him. Instead, he stood out too far and penetrated deep into Mobei, which resulted in failure.

Of course, even if Wei Guogong implemented the principle of prudent use of troops, Wang Baobao would probably not come to attack, and it would still be in vain. "

"Hey, this is a great test of Wei Guogong's ability." Wang Buli sighed.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

After the defeat, he also analyzed: "Second, the three Ming armies did not cooperate well.

Because the central route advanced too quickly, although the east route also reached the Tuchi River, it did not cooperate with the central route and formed a pincer attack.

Instead, each route fought alone and was defeated by the enemy one by one. The west route went out to the west, but it did not play the role of suspecting the enemy. "

"Hey, this can't simply be said that their three-way cooperation is unfavorable." Wang Buli quickly added:

"It's not like everyone in the vast grassland is the champion Hou Huo Qubing. Without proper means of communication, mutual cooperation is simply a joke."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly: "Third, the geographical situation is unfamiliar.

In particular, they lost their way on the way back to the army on the east road and suffered considerable losses. "

Li Wenzhong led the 50,000-strong Eastern Route Army out of Yingchang and reached the Kouwen River (the river that flows into Chagannuoer from the southwest in Inner Mongolia), and then advanced to the Hasimang and Luqu Rivers (today's Kerulun River in Inner Mongolia). The enemy was shocked and routed. .

He left behind his baggage and twenty days of food for his men and horses, and continued his pursuit to the Tuchi River, the Aluhun River (now the Orkhon River in Mongolia), and finally to the sea.

The two sides fought many fierce battles. Although Wen Zhong captured some prisoners, he suffered heavy losses. Many generals, including Xuanning Marquis Cao Liangchen, were killed in the battle.

"Fourth, the enemy was under-estimated. The enemy was familiar with the terrain, had fast cavalry, and fought when it could, and fled when it couldn't. Ming Dynasty did not have enough estimates for this and did not take corresponding countermeasures. This defeat resulted in Larger.”

"Oh, that's what it is!"

After hearing this analysis, Wang Buli stretched out his hand repeatedly to express his praise.

If Song Dianshi could only be a low-ranking official, Chief Guo could be a sixth-rank official with a big head.

Based on this military analysis alone, the two sides are not on the same level.

It is true that it is the difference between a battalion commander and a commander who has retired from the army and changed jobs.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed unconsciously after hearing Wang Buli's praise.

This was something he did not expect. Since then, he has known that it is not easy to destroy Bei Yuan, so he hastened to change the direction of the military attack.

"Hey, it's really our Ming Dynasty's mistake!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even more sad.
