Chapter 455: Outwitting

Brother Mo walked briskly into Kublai Khan's golden-domed tent. The ninth son of this tow thunder, Kublai Khan's own brother, now has no expression on his face that can be called relaxed. Although Kublai Khan reluctantly integrated the thousand households of the four Ulus, this integration was only superficial. The following chiefs of thousands of households and hundreds of households have not been replaced, and the four khans of Ulus have all made heads of ten thousand households, each with 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, and they also maintain influence on the heads of thousands of households that originally belonged to their own Ulus.

It can be said that the interior of the Mongol army, which is ostensibly a group, is still full of rifts. If Kublai Khan could not prove his worth with a commendable victory. It's not impossible to cause a woe!

Boyan stood at the door of the golden-domed tent, and when he saw Brother Mo coming, he first bent down and saluted, and then said in a low voice: "The Great Khan has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me." ”

Brother Mo nodded, followed Boyan into the big tent, only to see a huge table set up in the big tent, which was made up of several square tables, and a huge map unfolded on the table. It is not a map of the Yanyun region, but a map of the entire northern Han land. Kublai Khan was bent over, his hands propped on the edge of the table, looking down at the picture. There are also Baturu (Mu Huali's grandson, An Tong's father, Kublai Khan's brother-in-law), Duanzhen Baduer, Hada, Wuliang Hetai, Yuxi Timur and other Kublai Khan's henchmen, all of whom are surrounded by him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kublai Khan looked up, and when he saw that it was Moge, he beckoned him to come forward. Brother Mo stepped forward to see that there were a lot of colorful small flags on the map, which symbolized the deployment of the three forces of the Yuan, Ming and Tang dynasties.

Among them, the representative of the Yuan soldiers is the white flag, densely planted in the western foot of Yanshan and the grassland in the north of the mountain. The small red flag representing the Tang soldiers is mainly distributed in Taiyuan, Luoyang and Jinan. The Ming army was represented by the yellow flag. It is distributed in Yanjing, Tanggu and Pingluan.

"Ninth brother, can you tell me where our Mongolian army should attack?" Kublai Khan patted the map. Asked.

Brother Mo stretched out his finger and poked the place between Yanjing City and Tanggu City on the map, and said angrily: "Here!" The port of Pingluan Road is not as good as Tanggu. And the winter is icey. Chen Dexing wants to transport grain over, and most of them will go to Tanggu. Now most of the mouths of Yanshan are in my hands, and it is effortless for the army to climb the mountain. After crossing Yanshan Mountain, you can bypass Yanjing City, go straight to Haijin Town, rely on the canal and Haihe River to deploy the army, cut off the Yanjing grain road, and force the Northern Ming Army to fight! ”

Kublai Khan nodded silently: "200,000 Mongol troops against 60,000 anti-Ming troops...... The number is our advantage. Brother Mo, if you are asked to command, what are the chances of winning? ”

"This ......," Brother Mo shook his head and said nothing. Fighting a war is never about doing arithmetic. 200,000 is bigger than 60,000, so you must win. If you want to calculate it like that, the Great Song Dynasty would have already wiped out Liaojin and swept the northern country, where is there still the possibility of the rise of Mongolia?

"The thief has a big gun, a fine horseman, and recently there seems to be some kind of silver-armored soldier, it is said that it is invulnerable, and it is difficult to fight. Although there are many soldiers. But there is no certainty of victory. At most, there is a 60% chance of winning at most. ”

Kublai Khan said: "Be lenient with the enemy...... If the temple is only sixty percent, then sixty percent of it will be defeated on the battlefield. ”

"Sixty percent going to fail? Isn't that the case? Brother Mo shouted. He and Kublai Khan are grasshoppers on the same rope, and if Kublai Khan is sixty percent defeated. What did he do? Going to the West? Can someone want himself, an accomplice of Kublai Khan?

Kublai Khan smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about how the march is, but in terms of the battle array." It is nothing more than hand-to-hand combat and projection, and hand-to-hand combaters have infantry melee combat. The horse team charged. Projected with bows, crossbows, javelins, mounted fire, and so on. Originally, our Great Mongolia was strong in hand-to-hand combat and projection. In this way, we can dominate the world and suppress the Song Dynasty. And now. In terms of projection, can my Great Mongolia's bow and crossbow be compared to the Great Gun of the Reverse Ming? ”

Shoot with a bow and arrow at a cannon? How is it possible, the range is also far behind. Mongolian foot bows generally shoot more than 100 paces. The Ming army's big guns, just a shotgun can hit 200 paces away!

Brother Mo shook his head again and again.

Kublai Khan said: "All battle formations start with projection, and if the projection is defeated, the chance of winning will be lost." So, can the warriors of my Great Mongolia stabilize the Eight Banners of the Warriors who rebel against the Ming Dynasty in hand-to-hand combat? ”

If it is one-to-one, the Mongol warriors of the Central Ulus should be stronger than Shijue and the Eight Banners, but the Mongols in the East Fourth Dao are weaker, and I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat them. But there's never a heads-up on the battlefield. Often, they attack with projectile weapons to shake the opponent before they charge on foot.

And the projection was invincible, first asked the Ming army to bombard with artillery, and then rushed with shotguns and arrows, and I don't know how many warriors can rush up alive...... In this way, it is good to be able to make five points out of ten. If people blow up the formation, it will be a straggler, how can they fight?

Brother Mo sighed: "Then you can only outwit ......"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's about outwitting!" Kublai Khan grinned, "And we've been using our wits for a long time!" Ninth brother, this time the foolish brother has a heavy task to be handed over to you. ”

"Okay, the Great Khan commands, the little brother must do his best!"

Kublai Khan nodded with satisfaction, and poked the Yanshan Mountains on the map with his hand, "Brother Mo, I will leave 30,000 Han troops and 30,000 Mongol troops for you, and you will give me at least three months to hold the mouths of Yanshan and the states behind the mountains." ”

……

"Aifei, this is the palace of the emperor of the former Dajin Kingdom! How does it feel? Do you have the taste of being a queen? ”

Chen Dexing sat on the main hall of the Zhaoming Palace in the Imperial City of Yanjing, smiling at his woman Li Cuixian.

Zhaoming Palace was the harem of the Jin Dynasty emperor, and Kublai Khan also placed his mansion in Yanjing here, so the dilapidated palace was renovated. When the Mongols retreated, they also set fire to the imperial city of Yanjing and burned down the Da'an Palace, but it did not affect the Zhaoming Palace. It's just that the furniture in the palace was still snatched away in the riots, and Yao Sui came forward to ask for some good furniture from the rich families in Yanjing City and moved it into Zhaoming Palace, which made Zhaoming Palace a little rich.

But it's also the standard of wealth of a local tyrant in the north, where is there a little bit of the palace's appearance? What's even worse is that in this "harem", the palace maids are a group of rough and clumsy aunts - this is arranged by Li Cuixian, not because she doesn't want King Chen Daming to touch other women, but there are no eunuchs available in the Beiming Palace, so you can only find some aunts who can do things well. As for the yellow flower girl that Yao Sui asked for from the rich family in Yanjing, Chen Dexing made the decision to give it to the soldiers who had no marriage in the army. The rough work in the palace is done by these Yanjing aunts, but the errands that are served by close to each other must be done by trustworthy people.

Li Cuixian was kneeling in front of Chen Dexing, helping him take off his boots and wash his feet, the boots of this year are not very breathable, and the smell is needless to say, so that the big demon girl Li rolled her eyes.

"Queen? Is there a queen who washes the emperor's stinky feet with her own hands? ”

Chen Dexing laughed: "Aren't you?" Wash quickly, it's not the first time I've served the lonely king to wash his feet. ”

Chen Dexing sent troops this time, and he brought two women, Li Cuixian and Yang Po'er, with him, so naturally he had to let them serve him. Although most of the trivial things were handled by Yang Po'er, Li Cuixian couldn't do nothing, otherwise Yang Po'er would not be able to do it alone, so she was sent to wash her feet.

Li Cuixian complained, but she didn't stop in her hands, and after a while, she picked up Chen Dexing's two stinky feet and put slippers on them herself.

"Yes, yes, a bit like a good wife and mother." Chen Dexing clapped his hands, "Bi Lin'er can do more things...... She's about to give birth, so I don't know if it's a man or a woman? ”

Li Cuixian smiled: "It must be a boy, so Chen Lang, you have two sisters-in-law." ”

Chen Dexing waved his hand: "You demon girl is faking again...... Lin'er is not a son-in-law even if she gives birth to a son, and the son-in-law is only born by you! Satisfied? ”

Li Cuixian smiled generously and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, it seems that my demon girl can't fly out of the palm of the king's hand." ”

She stood up and carried the copper basin containing the water for washing her feet to the door of the main hall, splashed the water, and put the copper basin outside the door to wait for others to clean it up. He turned around and sat on Chen Dexing's couch, and said in a low voice: "Actually, the status of the son-in-law is not beneficial to Lin'er's heir. The emperor's family has never had a brotherhood, just look at what happened to Kublai Khan and Ali Buge. If Lin'er's son really has the ability to be a king, he can go overseas to build a country by himself. ”

"The lonely king knows the ...... in his heart" Chen Dexing stroked the hair of the demon girl, thinking to himself: "What this demon girl said is true...... Now I'm the emperor! The emperor's family affairs must be carefully considered, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ’

Li Cuixian looked at Chen Dexing affectionately and said, "Chen Lang knows it in his heart, and the concubine body is at ease...... It's better to wait for Lin'er's sister to finish the confinement, and then bring their mother and son to Yanjing. Compared with Yanjing, Mingdu is still too simple. ”

Chen Dexing shook his head slightly and said, "It's too early to think about this now...... Kublai Khan was not so easily defeated! Lin'er is a weak woman, so let's stay in Mingdu. But after Baoyin gave birth, let her come to Yanjing immediately! ”

"Immediately? Don't wait for the confinement to be finished? Li Cuixian was stunned.

"What kind of confinement do you have a cow-like body? You write to her and tell her to come over as soon as she gives birth to a baby, and leave it to her to do big things! ”

"Big deal?" Li Cuixian's eyes lit up, "Mongolian West Road? ”

Chen Dexing nodded and said: "Baoyin is the granddaughter of Wokotai, and the Ogedai line is very powerful in the Western Mongolian Dao, and there must be someone who wants to replace Kublai Khan as the Great Khan of Mongolia!" ”

Chen Dexing knew that this character was Haidu, Baoyin's cousin.

Li Cuixian's willow eyebrows frowned again, "But the kings of the Wokotai clan are far away in the Western Regions, how can Baoyin get by?" ”

Chen Dexing smiled: "The lonely king has a way, because the lonely king has someone by Kublai Khan's side!" ”

When the two were talking softly, they heard hurried footsteps outside, and also heard Yang Po'er's glutinous voice: "King, King!" Yan Zhonghei of the Yan family in Dongping begged to see him, saying that there was urgent military affairs! (To be continued......)
