Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Zhengde said again: "Actually, there is another key point. The temptation of the town army who sells the flaws to the Tatars is very strong, so big that the little prince can't resist."

While speaking, Zhengde looked at Su Mu with piercing eyes.

Su Mu immediately understood that in fact, during the real battle in Yingzhou, the little Tatar prince also heard that Emperor Zhengde was in the Datong army, so he led his army to attack.As a result, the attack could not be defeated for a long time, and the battle situation was delayed until the border troops from other towns arrived.Only then did the little prince realize that he was surrounded and suffered an unprecedented defeat.

However, as a courtier, Su Mu naturally did not dare to suggest that Zhengde be the bait.Otherwise, there is suspicion of regicide.

And the ancient kings, the most taboo is this.

Su Mu is not a fool, how dare he mention this in front of the emperor.

Let alone suggesting that the emperor should be used as a bait, even if the Emperor Zhengde was asked to go to the battlefield and sit in the army, it would be suspected of treason.Now, as a courtier, the best choice is to ask the emperor to stay in the fortified city of Datong as a spectator.

One more nonsense, and he, Su Mu, will have countless troubles in the future.

This point, there are countless blood lessons in history.In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs invaded every year, and Tang Taizong personally led the army to go out.Stationed in a palace in northern Shaanxi.The terrain of this place is dangerous, Li Shimin was also negligent, and only brought a thousand guards with him.

When the Uyghurs heard the news, they dispatched a large army overnight and rushed from the junction of the two groups of the Tang army. For a while, Emperor Taizong of Tang was in danger, seeing that the palace was about to fall.

At the critical juncture, a Tang Dynasty general was suddenly killed, and then the Uighurs were repelled.

The leader of the army is the general Hou Junji, and it is said that the general Hou has such a meritorious service, and the future wealth and glory will be indispensable.

It's strange to say that from that day on, Tang Taizong was very wary of Hou Junji, and in the end, he killed Hou Junji's clan in the name of treason.

The reason is very simple. The Tang Dynasty had strict military regulations, and no one had the power to mobilize the army without the order of the general who commanded the army.Although Hou Junji is extremely obedient, it can be seen from this that his prestige in the army is greater than the emperor's monarchy, and this will bury his future death.

Su Mu has an understanding of his situation: "I'm just an ordinary person. I didn't think about doing a big business when I traveled to the Ming Dynasty. I just wanted to live this life well and live a life of glory and wealth. In the final analysis , I am just a bureaucrat. Since I want to be a bureaucrat, I will naturally go to the bureau if it is beneficial, and hide when there is trouble, and I will never let myself be in danger and be taken advantage of by others."

Seeing Emperor Zhengde's burning eyes, Su Mu pretended to be stupid and said deliberately: "The bait is naturally to be taken by Datong Town, and the frontier troops from several other towns are still on the way at the moment! The Tatars just passed through a cold In that winter, many cattle and horses must have died. Although they have robbed the entire Datong, life is still difficult. We can transfer the Datong town army out at an appropriate time, and make a decisive battle with the Tatars. Concentrate the big two's food, grass, gold, silver and silk in one place, and show them weak. If there is such a cheap option, the little prince will definitely not let it go."

"At that time, when the Tatars came to attack, they found that our army was ready and the morale was high, and the battle situation must be anxious. By then, the other six towns had resisted. At that time, the six armies will come out together. The northern border troubles that have plagued my Ming Dynasty for many years."

Su Mu copied Zhengde's 13th year Yingzhou War's strategy against the enemy, and in real history, this set of battle plans was written by Emperor Zhengde.

His words can be said to have entered Zhengde's heart.

"Okay!" Zhengde slapped the fire cage, the sky had already darkened, a little spark rose from it, reflected in his eyes, those eyes seemed to be burning: "Well said, well said Good. Su Mu, when I played war games with you before, I didn't take your military talent seriously. But I don't want to, I haven't seen you for three days, you really impress me!"

He burst out laughing suddenly: "Haha, food, grass, gold, silver and wealth are abundant, and this alone is not enough to lure people. As far as I know, the little prince of Tartar is a fox, and he is very cunning, but this may not be able to lure him. Gong. Therefore, I have to be added."

Sure enough, as in... the real history.

Although Su Mu had already expected what Emperor Zhengde was going to do, he couldn't help being shocked.

He yelled suddenly: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, you must not take risks lightly!"

This cry was heartbreaking, and even Su Mu was moved by his own voice.

"Nonsense, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, if God wants me to die tomorrow, I don't know what to do." Zhengde laughed and stood up: "Qian Ning."

"The minister is here!" Qian Ning was already standing at the door.

Zhengde: "Raise my guard of honor, put martial law in the whole city, and spread the word that I have arrived in Datong, and I will personally lead the army to a decisive battle with the Tatars."

"Yes!" Chan Ning responded loudly and ran away.

Although it is said that there is no way to stop it, but the superficial effort still has to be done, Su Mu hurriedly stood up, bowed to the ground, and yelled sadly: "Your Majesty, no, no!"

"Shut up!" Zhengde suddenly punched Su Mu on the shoulder, and shouted angrily, "This is a chance I finally got to be on the battlefield in person. Su Mu, we traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Datong, and what we saw was an earth-shattering event." Great war, could it be that you still let me watch the excitement in Datong City? Could it be that I have practiced martial arts with you for so many years just to be a spectator? Su Mu, have you forgotten that you told me before that you want me to be the enemy of ten thousand people? "

"Chen, there is no time to forget!" Su Mu stopped talking, bowed, and then stood up: "May life and death be with you!"

Zhengde patted Su Mu on the shoulder: "Aiqing, stay up late to make a battle plan."

Zhengde's strength is so great, the punch just now made Su Mu unbearably painful, but he also understands that Zhengde has completely forgiven himself now, and the matter of Liu Jin is not a big deal.

"Come with me."

After leaving the signing room with Emperor Zhengde, he came to Zhengde's bedroom again, but saw that the lamps in the hall were as bright as day.

There is a huge sand table in the middle of the hall. At first glance, it is the map of Shanxi.The red and blue chess pieces are used to represent the Ming army and the Tatars respectively.

"Let's get started, the military chess deduction, and then make a battle plan. I will pretend to be the little prince, and you will command the soldiers and horses of the six towns."

"How can I be your Majesty's opponent?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just play." Zhengde threw down the dice and took a move: "I know you are not my opponent, so that's right. The so-called leniency in predicting the enemy means that we must pay attention to the enemy in tactics."

"Yes." Su Mu also took the dice and threw it down, as a response.

In this way, the two played war games while making records.

Gradually, a complete battle plan gradually took shape.
