However, everyone also knew why. In order to be promoted to Liaodong General, Yang Zhao sent many people to give gifts, asking Zhang Ju to talk about the Xiang in Xu Jie.

Now, because Yang Zhao was reckless and bad, Zhang Juzheng was naturally very uncomfortable, worried that he would leave a secret impression in King Yu's heart.

"According to that statement, the Tartars might not go to Liaodong to fight in this battle, but directly attacked the walls of Jizhen."

Wei Guangde shook his head and smiled, "Altan Khan will not know the principle of avoiding the real and attacking the virtual. If you want to win the battle, you naturally have to catch a soft persimmon to ensure victory, and the morale of the army will also increase."

To be honest, it is really difficult to judge the direction of the Mongols' offensive.

Unlike the Han army, if you want to attack a certain direction, you must reserve food and grass in the area in advance for the consumption of the army, but the Mongols are different.

Their army's main combat force was cavalry, and their logistics were tribal people who drove away the flock of sheep.

When soldiers fought in front of them, the tribes were responsible for driving away the flocks and transporting looted materials. Their mobility was indeed much better than that of the Han army.

Today, you see him gathering to Liaodong, and you may be sure when he will turn around and attack Jizhen. It is really hard to guard against.

Therefore, Yang Bo's view is to guard the border walls and defend the city to the death. With the current combat power of the Ming army, it is also a relatively suitable choice of tactics.

It is extremely delusional to achieve his merits in one battle, so it is better to save money. The Tatars will not give the Ming army time to dispatch troops, nor will they gather their main forces together to wait for the Ming army to attack.

Although the construction of the Great Wall of Ming seemed to protect the safety of the Han people and allow people to live and work in peace, it did affect the imperial government army, whether it was because of the city wall and not seeking progress, or there were defenses and loopholes everywhere.

In the middle and late stages, the overall combat power of the Ming army declined severely. Although it was not completely defeated, it was always impossible to find a suitable tactic, so it always seemed very passive.

Wei Guangde actually didn't know how to deal with the grassland cavalry. He really felt that they were slim and would not fight you unless they were willing, but would just flee away.

Think about the Zhu Yuanzhang period and Zhu Di period, several northern expeditions to the grassland consumed a lot of national strength. Although they had gratifying achievements, they did not fundamentally eliminate the main force of the Mongols.

"Mr. Yang Bo is right to seek stability."

Finally, Zhang Juzheng, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke, supporting Wei Guangde's view.

Yang Zhao was responsible for that matter, but that was all under the table.

The court wanted to hold him accountable, but he really couldn't find out.

But after Zhang Juzheng received the news of the defeat in Liaodong, he still blamed himself because he felt that he was responsible.

Thinking of Wei Guangde's repeated advice, he didn't listen. Not only did he kill thousands of innocent lives, but he also put the court in crisis.

Perhaps, if it were other generals at that time, they would have chased them out of the confinement, but they would never have chased them so far. Naturally, the Tartars would not have been able to set up an ambush and they would not have died tragically because of this.

After hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Wei Guangde nodded with a smile, not knowing whether he was agreeing or thanking him for his support.

"Just as Shangshu Yang imagined, even if there were a few such losses in the Ming Dynasty, it didn't matter. Our country has a large population and a large land and abundant resources. It was easy to replenish its strength, and it took only a few years.

As long as they guard the border cities strictly, the Tartars will have to withdraw their troops because they have gained nothing. If they dare to rush to the border cities and go deep into the inland, it will be just a death sentence, and that is the time to plan how to eliminate them.

But first of all, the other party makes a mistake.”

Wei Guangde continued.

King Yu interrupted at this moment, "You also support Yang Bo, worried that if the elite soldiers of Ji Town go to Liaodong, the Tatars will take the opportunity to attack Ji Town?"

"It's entirely possible. As I said before, the biggest advantage of the Tartars is that they come and go like the wind. They are still in Liaodong today, but they may appear outside the walls of Jizhen tomorrow."

Wei Guangde replied, but thinking that King Yu might still be in the stage of exploring the government at this time, he added: "No matter how bad the war situation in Liaodong is, the safety of the capital is the most important thing, and it is a major matter that concerns the world. If you are not careful, the whole country may be turbulent."
