Although his mood was calm, he became very depressed and lost, and Liu Ruozai couldn't help but sigh long-

After this move, if Jiannu integrates the remnants of Lin Dan Khan, recruits the most powerful Chahar tribe on the steppe, and adds the Horqin tribe and other Mongolian tribes that are originally dependent on Jiannu, then it can almost be said that more than sixty percent of the forces on the entire Mongolian steppe have been unified. Although the combat effectiveness of the Mongols is now a great regression compared with the previous dynasties, compared with the early days of the national dynasty, and even compared with more than dozens of hundreds of years ago, it is still a powerful force that cannot be underestimated.

These Mongol tribes who were recruited by Jiannu can easily provide tens of thousands of cavalry, tens of thousands! Just thinking about it makes my heart tremble.

Moreover, Mongolia has been weak in recent years, one is weak in weapons, the other is weak in the absence of a strong leader, and the third is weak in the poor morale of the army, and the military discipline is not in order.

But on the contrary, these three weaknesses can be made up for by Jiannu to the Mongols.

Jiannu is well-armed, sharp and strong, and the armor is the best in the world, which everyone knows. The blacksmith shop outside Shenyang that stretches for dozens of miles works day and night, the sound of striking iron is deafening, the fire is shining at night, half of the sky is red, and the daily output of weapons is not known, this is not a joke.

And Huang Taiji has long proved that he is a leader with considerable means and outstanding military talents, and many generals have emerged after fighting large and small battles in Jiannu over the years. If you want to say that you can fight, you really don't know how much, one game and one fierce.

As for the third point -- the Jiannu army has always been known for its strict military discipline, and it is easy to cut off heads and kill them. Since these Mongols have been submissive to others and become subordinates of others, I am afraid that this problem will have to be corrected. Besides, Jiannu has never treated foreigners as human beings, and he didn't do it once or twice to drive foreigners to be cannon fodder during the war, so he definitely wouldn't give these Mongolians more face. Disobedience to discipline, discouraged military morale? Then kill until you are obedient!

In this way, Jiannu's strength has increased greatly, and for Da Ming, there is no worse news than this.

It's no wonder that Liu Ruozai is in a good mood.

Dong Ce carefully observed his expression, and suddenly spoke.

Liu Ruozai, who originally thought that it was none of his business, changed his face suddenly after listening to Dong Ce's words.

"My lord, for the adults, for the Ming, for the livelihood of the world, this is a great opportunity for us!"

Dong Ce looked at Liu Ruozai and said in a deep voice, word by word.

Liu Ruozai's eyes as sharp as eagles stared at Dong Ce, and after looking at him for a long time, he slowly exhaled, sat down in his seat, and said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

"Yes." Dong Ce cleared his throat, deliberately lowered his voice, and said slowly: "That Hou Jiawei and the horse thief were the caravan of the Fan family that was robbed less than ten days ago, and after the subordinates went back, they checked the map in their hands and found that from the side wall to the Naturalization City, it would take at least half a month, and twenty days is not impossible. In other words, they will not arrive at Guihua City until the beginning of February, and they will arrive early, which means that by that time, Dolgon has not yet led the army from Liaodong! ”

"The subordinates checked the files of Jiannu in the past few years, and found that the number of times they acted in winter was almost none, whether it was Chongzhen's entry into the Kou in the second year, or last year's south, they all chose to be in the autumn when the horses were fat and the products were pasted."

"Jiannu is also a human being, and he is also afraid of the cold, since the Wanli Dynasty, the weather is bitter and cold, especially in winter, especially in Liaodong! What's more, there are few villains in the Jiannu country, although they can fight, but the national strength is weak, and it is by no means easy to support the dispatch of more than 10,000 troops and thousands of troops. At the very least, they will wait until the weather is a little warmer before they set out. Therefore, the subordinates judged from this, even if they were early, they would not be able to go as early as late February. ”

"Liaodong is not close to the Naturalization City, Liaodong Liangju said that the armor is in the world, but there are more infantry armor in the Jiannu army, so the more than 10,000 troops cannot be cavalry, as long as there are foot soldiers, it will slow down the marching speed. Whether it will be able to reach Naturalization City in March is still unknown. ”

Hou Jiawei's house can be regarded as a good deed, and he also knows that he can't afford to mess with the Fan family, so he piled all the grain and cloth that couldn't be taken away, including the carriage, and burned it clean. Even those guys in the convoy were also burned after they were killed, and their bodies were destroyed. If it weren't for the mistake of his subordinates, I'm afraid this matter would have become a clueless case. ”

"Since the food of the Fan family has been burned and cannot be transported to the Naturalization City, even if Dolgon arrives in the Naturalization City, there is no food available, so the soldiers are stranded and powerless. And in terms of human nature, at the beginning, Dolgon would definitely not suspect that something was wrong with the Fan family's caravan, but because the caravan was delayed on the road. Therefore, they will choose to wait, and it will be too late to wake up after a while. The area around the city of Guihua was already a barren land, and the Mongolian tribes were all poor, and it was impossible to raise food locally. It is very difficult to transport grain from Liaodong or let the Fan family transport grain. ”

"Naturalization City, Liaodong, Zhangjiakou Fort are not close to each other, even if you are fast, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth. If you want to raise food smoothly, you have to wait! With such a delay, I am afraid that Dolgon can only lead the army to a difficult situation in the city of naturalization, and it is estimated that when the food arrives again, it will be April and May. ”

Long before coming here, Dong Ce had thought about these words countless times, so he spoke extremely fluently, concisely and concisely, without pause.

Liu Ruozai nodded slowly when he listened, Dong Ce's analysis was very accurate and direct, and he directly pointed at the most important point - food!

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and there is no food, so no matter how many troops Dolgon brings, they are useless, and they can only be trapped in the local area. And the time given by Dong Ce is also quite reasonable, in this era, there is no telephone, no Internet, the most rare thing is communication and command, the efficiency is so low, and it may even be even lower.

It's just, what does this have to do with yourself?

Liu Ruozai had already vaguely guessed what Dong Ce was going to say, but he didn't interrupt, just listened.

"And now, before the first month, until April, there are at least two months left, and if you say more, three months is not impossible. My lord, now that we know the news, how can we not do something? How can we sit idly by and watch the power of Jiannu grow like this? ”

Liu Ruozai's eyebrows trembled, leaned back, looked at Dong Ce, and said slowly: "You mean, we have to report to the imperial court?" ”

"It must be reported to the court, but it's not just that."

Dong Ce's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Since Jiannu can recruit the remnants of Lin Dan Khan, why can't we succeed?" The lord is now a soldier in northern Hebei, and he is in his position to seek his own government, and he is the first to get this news. Therefore, I am fully qualified and have a reason to go to the imperial court, automatically ask for help, and take people to Dacaotan to recruit the remnants of Lin Dan Khan! ”

"Although the remnants of Lin Dan Khan are not as good as before, there are at least tens of thousands of herdsmen, hundreds of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of elite cavalry who can go on horses and fight! Once I subdue them and let them work for my Daming, then my Daming will be like a tiger with wings! Then I am a big country, and Jin Zhen is forever! Then I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, will praise the adults. Then I, the Holy Son of Heaven, will appreciate the kindness of adults, and from then on Jane will be in the emperor's heart, and then won't he go straight to the clouds? ”

Dong Ce's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it had a golden and iron voice: "If you only report to the imperial court, you may only get a commendation from the Ministry of War and the Shanxi Criminal Prosecution Department, maybe the saint doesn't know about such a thing, and he doesn't know about your merits." But once you do that, you'll be able to listen to it right up. My lord, I heard it before the king, and died in the saint, just today! ”

Although he had roughly guessed what Dong Ce would say, when he said it himself, Liu Ruozai still felt a huge shock!

This young man is just such a status, and today he has such scheming, such a city, and such knowledge!

Such a strategy!

Since he met Dong Ce, Dong Ce has brought Liu Ruozai quite a lot of surprises, but there has never been a time when it was as huge as this time. In the past, he knew that Dong Ce had the means, the ability, the ability to train troops, the ability to fight, and the courage to do things, but to put it bluntly, these were all allowed to appear within the scope of his ability, and they matched his identity.

To put it bluntly, with Dong Ce's official position and growth environment, it is not easy to have such an ability, but it is not impossible. He is better than others, but not too much.

But today's performance of Dong Ce, what he said, and his insights reflected in these words completely subverted Liu Ruozai's past impression.

This kind of talent is enough to go to a place to serve as a prefect and take charge of himself, or to serve as an important department in the central ministries.

He even had doubts at this moment, why could Dong Ce know so much? So much to think about? Is it true that he was born a genius?

Liu Ruozai knew that it was necessary for him to re-examine Dong Ce.

Of course, before that, it is necessary to solve the problem in front of you. Such a huge problem is also an opportunity in front of him, Liu Ruozai only flashed a trace of doubt in his mind, and then disappeared. After Dong Ce finished speaking, Liu Ruozai looked at him deeply and did not answer. He just sat there quietly, looking up, his eyes seemed to be staring at the ceiling, dazed. But the slightly trembling fingers, as well as the chest that fluctuated violently from time to time, revealed his mood, indicating that Liu Ruozai's mood was extremely uncalm at this time.
