Chapter 50 This King also thinks so
Although the Great Wall is thousands of miles away, it is impossible for every inch of the Great Wall to be covered with guards.
What's more, from Longyou, Ganzhou, northwest to Shanhai, the northeast, it is also divided into three gates, the inner side and the inner side, crossing each other, but it is not as big as the end and end connected.
In fact, the role of the Great Wall has not been like a city wall to prevent foreign enemies from coming in since ancient times. It is more of a stronghold, a warning, material storage and supply lines.
In other words, when Qin Shihuang renovated the Great Wall, the Great Wall was more of a role as a frontier for attack, not a purpose of concealing and defending.
Those who can defend the Han people's world have not been the cold stones since ancient times, but the passionate men who have been going on one after another.
So when Zhu Qi learned that there were actually three hundred Northern Yuan Hu cavalry moving around Taiyuan Prefecture, he was shocked and the other generals and officials in Taiyuan Prefecture were used to it.
Not to mention Taiyuan Prefecture, before the fifth year of Hongwu, the entire north of the Huanghuai River was the area of the Northern Yuan Huqi. It was only after the recapturing of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that the Huanghuai River Basin was much safer. In fact, in the seventh year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty had not fully recovered the basic territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Liaodong, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places were still under the control of the Northern Yuan, especially Yunnan, there was also a Dali Duan family that had been jumping around in the Song Dynasty!
Of course, the Duan clan of Dali is now a vassal of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Just like the Yuan prince-consort, Gaoli Kingdom, they are all vassals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and their official name is: the General Manager of Dali.
In any case, after years of baptism of blood and fire at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the soldiers and generals in Taiyuan Prefecture were all "old fried dough sticks". Zhu Qi had just become nervous. After conveying the news, the soldiers and generals below started to act on their own and submitted combat suggestions.
There is no need to mention these things, such as solid walls and clearing the wilderness, checking the whistle and cavalry, but sometimes, there will be one or two contradictory suggestions. For example, Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen suggested defending the city and provoking the whistle, and then make plans after the news of these 300 Hu Qi.
But Deqing Marquis Liao Yongzhong suggested that the troops in Taiyuan Prefecture should be divided into several cavalry with 500 people per team, and took the initiative to search for the Hu cavalry with 300 people. It was just three hundred people. Isn’t it a joke to leave them wandering outside?
Zhu Qi didn't know which one of the two people made sense, and he didn't understand. The only idea was to follow the famous generals, and whatever the famous generals said would be.
But Geng Bingwen and Liao Yongzhong who made the suggestions were famous generals. Geng Bingwen attacked Guangde, Changxing, and Bianliang, had outstanding military achievements and outstanding achievements in history. His only failure was that he was the hammering of the Jingnan Battle by King Zhu Di of Yan.
Liao Yongzhong is also very powerful. He has made contributions to fighting in the death of Fengyang Lake, decisive Guangdong and Guangxi, and destroying Xixia. Unfortunately, in the eighth year of Hongwu in history, he was sentenced to death for some things. Of course, it is the seventh year of Hongwu, and he is still alive.
Logically speaking, Zhu Qi, as the largest general who stayed in Taiyuan Prefecture, should make up his mind at this time, but Zhu Qi, as the young man who was cultivated in the 21st century, has never been the kind of self-righteous and arbitrary person.
If you are not familiar with things, leave them to professionals. What should you do if there are more professionals? Then let’s talk together!
Isn’t there a thing called the General Staff in military history that shines brightly in World War II? Although I can’t get anything like the General Staff for the time being, it’s okay to gather famous generals to discuss specific strategies and guidelines.
Although the enemy is only three hundred Hu cavalry, Zhu Qi did not want the common people to be harmed by Hu cavalry under his own rule.
The soldiers didn't think too much about it. They just held combat meetings. They had participated in many such meetings before. Although there was no such thing as the General Staff in ancient times, the generals often asked the opinions of their staff and subordinate generals before making decisions.
So, the first military meeting chaired by His Highness the King of Liao was officially held under such circumstances.
A large number of military generals gathered together. At present, the most famous ones were Liao Yongzhong and Geng Bingwen. They also expressed their views at the meeting.
One advocates the defense of the established target, and the other advocates that the enemy is infiltration by small troops, so we can also divide it into small troops and go out to search directly.
The two famous generals had different opinions, and the generals under them quickly divided into two factions and the debate started.
Zhu Qi suddenly had a headache. He actually wanted to ask them to give multiple plans according to the form of the General Staff of later generations and digitize the success rate of all plans in detail, but without thinking, we know that it is impossible to do it now.
The biggest difference between the modern staff and the ancient staff is that the staff completes digital problem-solving in military wars, and uses mathematical problem-solving methods to provide the optimal solution under the premise of a large amount of digital data specific to individual individuals.
There was really no way, Zhu Qi decided to believe in the metaphysics. He looked at Zhu Di and Li Jinglong and asked:
"What do you two think?"
Li Jinglong immediately said: "The last general thinks that what the two generals said makes sense. It is better to leave half of the soldiers and horses to defend the city, and then divide half of the soldiers into small groups to search for Hu Qi."
Good guy, when Li Jinglong said this, Zhu Qi was panicked. According to the theory of metaphysics, Li Jinglong really helped anyone lose in history. Even if Zhu Yunwen was demented, his millions of elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were real. He was led by Li Jinglong and he lost the Jingnan Battle.
After he said this, the two generals' plans were covered with a shadow. Fortunately, Zhu Di also had the lucky star, so Zhu Di also frowned and said:
"Brother Third, let's look at the map first."
Zhu Di said something was there as soon as he opened his mouth. He did not talk about it on paper, but pointed to the map. The map was a new work, completely according to Zhu Qi's requirements, and was clearly visible in mountains, rivers, roads, etc.
Zhu Di continued:
"Taiyuan Prefecture is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides and rivers on the west side. If it comes from the north and passes through Datong Prefecture, it will be like entering a pocket. If it is not taken at all, it will be fine if it comes and goes like the wind, but if it is plundering the village and gains a lot, it will not be easy to get out of this pocket.
According to the usual situation, the Hu Qi in the Northern Yuan Dynasty was divided into small groups, which were nothing more than plundering grass valleys and plundering the population. Before our Ming army arrived, we withdrew from the pass. If it was just for plunder, there were many towns and villages on the Datong line that could be used as targets. Why did this single unit appear near my Taiyuan Prefecture?"
A general hesitated slightly and said:
"Based on time, Datong Mansion must have been attacked by the Northern Yuan Dynasty now. This small group of Hu Qi may want to take advantage of the opportunity to go deep into the mainland and make a fortune when we have no time to take care of ourselves?"
What the general said is also very reasonable. After all, places with frequent looting are poorer. The more stable the place, the higher the prosperity, the more spoils there will be. This is a matter of course.
But Zhu Di shook his head and said:
"If the Beiyuan was still as scattered as before, and each tribe was fighting each other, it would be possible. It was just that the most amazing man in the world, Wang Baobao had recently won..."
Zhu Qi immediately realized that the strong are respected on the grassland. Wang Baobao is now in high reputation. He is still the Prime Minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He has great military and political power. These three hundred Hu cavalry are not too much, but not too little. Other Northern Yuan troops and tribes are desperately infiltrating and attacking the Great Wall outside the Datong line. What does it mean to have these three hundred people crossed Datong Prefecture and go to Taiyuan Prefecture to burn, kill and loot? Are you not afraid that Wang Baobao will destroy your entire tribe?
There will be monsters when things happen!
But the other generals were a little hesitant. After all, these were just speculations. Even though the Northern Yuan Dynasty won a great victory the year before, it would not have crossed Datong Prefecture and attacked Taiyuan Prefecture. Isn’t this seeking death? What can the three hundred people do?
However, Zhu Qi nodded at this time and said, "Well, I think so too."
Looking at His Highness the swearing expression of His Highness the King of Liao and thinking about the "outstanding military talent" that His Highness the King of Liao has always shown, the generals immediately became alert. Could it be that there is really a fraud in this?
After Zhu Qi said this, he saw that Zhu Di had no response for a long time, so he had to ask:
"Fourth brother, continue to say, let me listen to your opinion."
Zhu Di also hesitated and said:
"Actually, I'm just an immature guess."
He pointed to the map, where mountains and rivers are crisscrossing, and it is also the famous outer three passes, connected by Ningwu, Yanmen and Panguan. It is a huge defense system that governs 18 passes, including mountains, Xing, Pass, City, Fort, and Village.
"The Northern Yuan Dynasty's goal is not in the northern border of Datong. Will their goal be the three outer gates in the west?"
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Li Jinglong laughed:
"How could it be? It's impossible."
The other generals also nodded. After all, the Northern Yuan had no control over the west, and the Longyou area was already under the control of the Ming Dynasty. If you detour the three outer passes in the west, the Ming army in Longyou could send troops to attack at any time. This difficulty was much more difficult than attacking Datong!
But Zhu Qi looked at Li Jinglong and Zhu Di who was laughing and frowned, and asked calmly:
"If my army arranged to go west, will it affect the situation of the war?"
The generals were stunned and shook their heads. Of course, this would not affect the situation of the battle. Even if the Northern Yuan attacked from all sides, the main battlefield was on the Datong line, and General Xu Da and General Li Wenzhong were both holding on. We were just a reserve.
Hearing the generals say this, Zhu Qi pointed to the map openly and decided:
"There are gathering a group of troops to go west, marching, and searching for Hu Qi!"
