Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 295 Where Are the Reinforcements!

Xia Xun began to think nervously. The person in front of him was not such an innocent child as Zhu Yunwen. Fang Xiaoru drew Zhu Yunwen a beautiful blueprint of returning to Zhouli and recovering the well field, which was impossible to realize. Brother Di is different, he is very shrewd, so Xuanxu can't bluff him, but Zhu Di is now facing ten times the enemy, what kind of strategy is the correct one?

Xia Xun calmed down his thoughts slowly, and said slowly: "Beiping is where His Royal Highness's foundation lies, and there is absolutely no room for loss. Otherwise, if the foundation is lost and the morale of the army is lost, His Highness's defeat will be inevitable!"

Zhu Di nodded heavily, and said, "That's right, that's the problem. Beiping must stick to it no matter what, but if this king sticks to Peiping, it's only a matter of time before he loses..."

Xia Xun nodded and said: "Yes, the military strength is too disparate. Even if the 50 troops of the imperial court are filled with human lives, they can pile up a Kangzhuang Avenue that goes directly to the city wall of Beiping. Sooner or later, it will become His Highness's cage."

Zhu Di clashed fists and palms, and with a "slap", he gritted his teeth and said, "Peking must be defended, and if you persist, you will fail. Wenxuan, do you have any clever ideas?"

Xia Xun said: "To solve this problem, there is only one way. Beiping must be defended, but His Highness cannot stay in the city."

Zhu Di was startled, thought for a moment, and tentatively said: "Wenxuan means to send people to defend Beiping, and my king will lead the army to swim outside to contain the enemy? This...with the strength in my hands..., if we divide the troops again ,I am afraid……"

Xia Xun said straightly: "I know, in this way, there will be fewer soldiers and horses in Beiping City, and the pressure will be enormous. It will be a bitter battle, a bitter war, but..., it must be like this , Your Highness's main force must not stay in Beiping City, waiting for Li Jiujiang to consume it little by little. It will be very difficult to defend the city, but this heavy burden, His Highness must go out, it is up to people to plan, and it is up to heaven to achieve it, Your Highness , there is no panacea, and there is no perfect plan to take advantage and not lose!"

Zhu Di lowered his head and pondered for a moment, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, he slowly raised his head, looked at Xia Xun, and said, "Then, what should I do when I am out in the army? Before Beiping falls... Do something?"

Xia Xun said: "Eliminate the peripheral troops of the imperial army as much as possible, cut off his wings, and delay time!"

"Procrastination?"

Zhu Di's eyes flickered, he vaguely understood something, and asked: "Delaying time... Will there be reinforcements?"

"Yes! We have three reinforcements!"

Xia Xun habitually raised his finger. Fortunately, Fatty Lin wasn't here, otherwise he would have thought of another dirty picture.

"The first powerful reinforcement is Tianshi!"

Zhu Di already understood, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Yes, the imperial court's 50 troops are mostly soldiers from the south, who are not tolerant of the severe cold in the north. They still lack the experience of fighting in winter in the north, and they don’t bring too many winter clothes, and the tents are the flimsy marching tents used by the Southern Army.

Xia Xun said: "Our second powerful reinforcement is the Southern Army itself!"

Zhu Diqi asked: "How do you say that?"

Xia Xun said: "A 50 army is terrifying in war, but how much supply does this huge monster need? They have a long battle line, and in the northern geography, His Highness's soldiers and horses are far more familiar than them. As long as you send troops Cut off their supply lines, and when the time comes they will have neither food nor clothing to keep out the cold, and they will collapse without a fight."

Zhu Di nodded again and again, and Xia Xun said again: "If Li Jinglong divides his troops to pursue His Highness, even if he divides his troops, he is still far more powerful than His Highness. His Highness cannot attack hard. The Southern Army enters the horse, while the Northern Army has many horses. Your Highness should use the strengths of the Northern Army. When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue, wear down the enemy with guerrilla tactics, advance and retreat in great strides, concentrate our forces, defeat each one, and wipe out the enemy army in mobile warfare!"

This tactic was not invented by that great man, but it was systematically sorted out in his hands, carrying forward the essence of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare in ancient and modern times.This tactic is exactly suitable for Zhu Di's current situation.

Ever since Zhu Di was stationed in Beiping, whenever he conquered Mobei, his military strength has never been in such a tight situation. Therefore, in his usual combat thinking, it is difficult to escape from the prison of years of combat experience. However, his opponent, Those Mobei tribes are masters of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Although Zhu Di has won many times, it is difficult to wipe out these enemies. Now that he is in a different place, it is easier than ordinary people to understand these strategies and tactics.

So he only closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and he had already grasped the essence of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. To put it bluntly, although Xia Xun told him the essence of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, his understanding was far behind On Xun, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Wenxuan is resourceful and resourceful, and he is actually a strong city of the country. With this good strategy, Li Jiujiang's 50 troops will not be afraid."

Xia Xun said straightly: "Your Highness, don't be careless. There is one premise for us to do this, that is... Beiping must stick to it, and it must be held! If there is something wrong with Beiping, don't mention it!"

Zhu Di looked dignified, nodded slowly and said: "Yes! Beiping... must be defended! Then... what is the third support army?"

Xia Xun said: "After all, the enemy army has 50 people, which is ten times larger than mine. As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Even if Beiping can hold it, His Highness has dragged it into the cold winter, and his own strength is almost exhausted." At that time, Li Jiujiang was short of clothing and food, and if he wanted to retreat, would His Highness still have the strength to launch a counterattack and expand the results of the battle? If not, let the southern army retreat calmly. Although we won the battle, we were not injured. As for the vitality of the enemy army, what will His Highness do when Uncle Li Jiujiang makes a comeback tomorrow? Therefore, this third support army is the real reinforcement army, and we still need an elite soldier who can fight well!"

Zhu Di asked with piercing eyes, "Where do the soldiers come from?"

"King Ning!"

Zhu Di smiled wryly and shook his head, "Seventeenth brother, it's impossible! Wen Xuan, I won't hide it from you. At the beginning of the war, this king wrote a secret letter, enumerating the injustices of the court and killing my brother. The kings poured out their distressed situation to him, and hoped that he would send troops to help, but this letter fell like a stone into the sea, and there was no reply at all."

Xia Xun thought to himself: "It turns out that King Yan also thought about joining forces with this brother who is close at hand." Xia Xun said: "King Ning does not have the guts to stand up with His Highness to calm the disaster. Let us use his soldiers to hold the injustice for the kings." , King Ning should agree?"

Zhu Di laughed and said, "How can Wen Xuan say such naive words? If the Seventeenth Brother borrows troops from me, wouldn't that be a rebellion by the court? If he can borrow troops, he can take the initiative to raise troops to respond."

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Your Highness, there are both literary and military borrowings. They can be negotiated or forced. It doesn't have to be that King Ning is willing?"

Zhu Di was startled, his eyes turned black and bright, he stared at Xia Xun closely, looked carefully for a while, saw that Xia Xun didn't seem to be joking, and then said in surprise: "Wen Xuan really has a gutsy look." Now that the imperial army is pressing down on the country, this king is already too busy to take care of himself. If the Seventeenth brother doesn’t come to trouble me, this king will be thankful, and he can take the initiative to provoke him? If this tiger is brought in again, won’t this king’s situation worsen? ?”

Xia Xun frowned, and said in his heart: "It seems that King Yan has no hope of borrowing soldiers from King Ning. Could it be that I borrowed King Ning's soldiers from him?"

Xia Xun thought for a moment, and said: "Your Highness once wrote to King Ning. Although King Ning did not agree, he did not see him convey the letter to the court. King Ning's attitude is so ambiguous, so it may not be unconvincing. It's not just His Majesty, brothers of the kings, the imprisoned, the imprisoned, and the imprisoned, does King Ning have no complaints in his heart?"

Zhu Di smiled wryly and said: "How can it be possible that you have no grudges? Among the kings, although I, Zhu Di, have the most reputation, it is because I am the oldest, and now I am the head of the kings. Because of the loudness. In fact, I am far inferior to the Seventeenth Brother who really holds a heavy hand. The Seventeenth Brother’s feudal kingdom is in Daning (now part of Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Neigu), in the ancient Huizhou, east Lian Liao Zuo, west of Xuanfu, is an important military town, with [-] armour, [-] leather chariots, among the kings, it can be called a leader.

However, because of this, he was also deeply jealous of the emperor. Last year, when the imperial court decreed to cut down the military power of the kings, the military power of the seventeenth brother was also forced out. In the first few months, the emperor made another decree that his three The guards and horses have also been taken away. Last month, the imperial court issued an order to call him back to Beijing for an audience. Because I have raised troops here, I can't take care of him for a while, so that's all. "

Xia Xun was stunned when he heard this: "King Ning has been stripped of his military power, and he has been stripped clean like Zhu Laosi? This is not the same as my memory. It's broken. Could it be me, a little butterfly? The movement of his wings is too big, and history has changed beyond recognition, so what advantage do I have? Everything in the future, I am also blind."

Yan Wang Zhu Di's next sentence recalled Xia Xun's soul again: "However, as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the seventeenth brother's vassal state goes deep outside the Great Wall, so the imperial court's control is not very strong, especially the seventeenth brother. My younger brother has the ancient three guards under his command, they are all elite cavalrymen from the Yuan Dynasty. They defected to my Ming Dynasty at the beginning. The seventeenth brother treats these men very well, and he is inseparable from the leaders of the three guards. Those people are not so much my Ming Dynasty. It’s better to say that they are the soldiers of the Seventeenth Brother, if the Seventeenth Brother has something to say, they will still listen.”

When Xia Xun heard it, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the history is not too out of shape, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

In fact, it's just that Xia Xun doesn't know the detailed history. Xia Xun reads without seeking deep understanding. He just glances at the articles and stories he sees. He probably has an impression that many details are impossible to grasp. In his memory, it is King Yan rode into Daning alone, deceived Queen Ning, took King Ning as a hostage, and brought back all of King Ning's troops.

Therefore, in his understanding, the imperial court's cutting of the vassal should not have touched King Ning, otherwise, why would King Yan cheat King Ning out and recruit tens of thousands of his soldiers?In fact, at this time in history, King Ning, like King Yan before he was forced to raise troops, was reduced to a bare commander, and all he had was a palace, and even the soldiers and horses of the three guards were taken over by the court generals up.

Xia Xun said happily: "That's good. The imperial court stripped King Ning's soldiers and horses to nothing, and even transferred the three guards of the palace, and ordered him to enter the capital. It can be seen that he has ulterior motives. Doesn't King Ning have any resentment in his heart?" Is there no fear? I would like to go to Daning for His Royal Highness, if he can successfully persuade King Ning to join His Highness, then he can persuade all the guards under King Ning to join him, and His Highness will be like a tiger with wings."

Xia Xun just presented Zhu Di with a countermeasure against the imperial court's 50 troops. Zhu Di regarded him as a treasure, so he was not willing to let him take risks. In the meantime, if you want to find out his mind, there is no need for Wenxuan to take risks in person. If the Seventeenth Brother refuses to tolerate, it will kill your life, why not write another letter to persuade him."

Xia Xun shook his head and said: "If it's just a letter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to borrow King Ning's elite soldiers. If you go here with a humble position, you can play by ear and find out his mind. If possible, understand it with emotion and move it with reason. King Ning Those who share the same illness with His Highness may not be able to fulfill His Highness's wishes. If only one letter is sent and a small official is dispatched, it will not be effective. Your Highness's caring heart is deeply felt in the humble position, but to help His Highness achieve great things, this Daning, The humble job must go to hell!"

Zhu Di hesitated and said: "This..., if the Seventeenth Brother wants to show his loyalty to the court, he can decide your life and death with just one word, Wenxuan..."

Xia Xun resolutely said: "The current situation, where is it not dangerous? Is it in His Royal Highness's barracks, or in Beiping City? If you want peace, you must take risks now. I just ask Your Highness to give you a token. Chuangning King's Longtan Tiger

"Okay, okay..."

Zhu Di is a person who is easily emotional and emotional. Seeing Xia Xun disregarding personal life and death for himself, his eyes are red with emotion. It is a pity that he is in danger now. Xu's fame and future are all in vain. If this official makes a wish I can't say it.I also remembered that my third daughter is already ten years old, and in two years she will reach the marriageable age. If he becomes her son-in-law, she can be regarded as a real relative, but he is married to a wife again...

He opened his mouth and closed it again. In the end, Zhu Di could only bury his feelings of affection in his heart, patted Xia Xun on the shoulder vigorously, and said loudly to the outside: "Come on, call Sai Hazhi to see me." ! "

After a while, a member of Qiu Xu strode into the tent. This man has a leopard head with ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard. He looks exactly like Zhang Fei. When he saw Zhu Di, he bent his hands with his arms crossed and said in a loud voice: "Sai Hazhi has met His Highness!"

Zhu Di said to Xia Xun: "Since Wenxuan is going, let my guard Sai Hazhi go with you. He is an ancient man who is familiar with Daning's geography and language. Maybe he can help you!"

"Sai Hazhi..."

Xia Xun thought in his heart: "There was Ji Gang before, and now there is Sai Hazhi... the third and fourth commanders of Jin Yiwei, and now I have seen them all. I really have a destiny with Jin Yiwei..."

When Sai Hazhi heard Zhu Di's words, he knew that he wanted to follow this lord on an errand, so he quickly saluted Xia Xun respectfully, and said loudly: "The humble job Sai Hazhi, I would like to be sent by Master Yang, and I will go through fire and water, and I will do anything!" Ra! ~!
