Chapter 147: Divorce plan
Zhu Di nodded in agreement.
"Twentieth brother is right, and these Southern troops have become more advanced than the last time they attacked the city. When Li Jinglong came to attack Beijing with an army of 600,000, the most powerful among the 600,000 troops was
At least half of them are new recruits."
"The new recruits are not very powerful, but once they fight, they will be completely different after seeing blood. They will become truly capable and daring warriors. Even if the morale of the Southern Army is low now, this group of new recruits should grow up."
We have almost grown, and it is indeed detrimental to us to delay it like this, but there are too many soldiers under Li Jinglong's command. Even if we win a few small victories, it will only have a little cannibalizing effect."
"What my twentieth brother said today is that the entire Southern Army relies on Li Jinglong's Central Army to issue orders. If we can find a way to defeat Li Jinglong's Central Army, then these hundreds of thousands of imperial troops will become a piece of loose sand."
"But even if Li Jinglong comes out, he will have 100,000 soldiers in front. He is sitting at the back. Even if I want to set up an ambush, he will not be able to rush through without coming out. There are too many 100,000 soldiers and horses. If I have
These many soldiers have already reached Yingtian."
At this point, the generals were silent for a moment, but at this moment Zhu Song suddenly had an idea.
"Fourth brother, Li Jinglong probably doesn't know that I have handed over the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong to you. If you, I, and the soldiers and horses under our hands cooperate to act out a drama of discord, then
Li Jinglong will definitely take action when he sees it, either he thinks there is trouble within us and will rush to attack and kill us, or he will definitely send a messenger to contact me and discuss with me how to cooperate internally and externally."
"At that time, we only need to make plans and act according to the plan. If I lure him out, we can take advantage of the situation to attack his middle camp. As long as the middle camp is paralyzed, the entire imperial army will be paralyzed in an instant. A man with high martial arts skills will suddenly
How much of a threat can he still be if his brain is not good enough?"
After Zhu Di heard this, he thought for a long time and clapped his hands.
"What a good plan! Let's do it this way. Let's discuss how to deceive Li Jinglong tomorrow..."
…
On the second day, Li Jinglong climbed up to observe the battlefield situation. The imperial army was becoming more and more courageous as they fought. Although their individual bravery was not as good as that of the Northern Army, and their overall strength was not as good, they were making rapid progress. As long as they gave themselves another half month,
The imperial army he brought under his command could rival the Northern Army in terms of combat strength.
At that time, they have the advantage in numbers, food and grass, and logistics. The only advantage of the Northern Army is that its soldiers are all capable generals who are good at fighting. They are also equal to them. So what advantage does King Yan have?
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong felt that his future was bright and the situation was great. As long as he delayed it, as long as he delayed it! He would eventually win!
But Li Jinglong originally planned to drag it out slowly, but suddenly found that the Northern Army seemed to be a little different today.
The Northern Army is just a collective name. In fact, it is the collective name of the Peking Army and the Liaodong Army. Needless to say, the Peking Army naturally followed the lead of King Zhu Di of Yan, but what about the Liaodong Army?
King Han was the second vassal king to follow King Yan to Fengtian Jingnan, while King Liao and King Ning both submitted memorials to Fengtian Jingnan. From a geographical point of view, Kaiyuan was in the easternmost part of the Ming Dynasty, from the east to the east.
To the west are the King of Liao and King Ning. From this point of view, the rebellion of King Liao and King Ning was mostly due to the King of Han.
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong suddenly felt that the situation on the battlefield suddenly became clear, and the Liaodong Army would definitely follow the lead of King Han. Now the Northern Army on the battlefield was clearly divided into two groups, each fighting on its own. One side was the Peking Army and the other was the Liaodong Army. This Peking Army
If the Liaodong Army rushes to the front, the Liaodong Army will not rush. If the Liaodong Army rushes to the front, the Peiping Army will not rush.
Li Jinglong even had doubts in his heart. Could it be that the King of Yan and the King of Han were at odds with each other, or that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers? If King Yan really captured Yingtian, he would definitely force the emperor to abdicate. However, King Han also rebelled. If he did not rebel, he would be a vassal.
King, if he rebels, he will still be the vassal king at most, so he will definitely not be willing to just be the vassal king.
If he didn't covet the throne, why did he rebel? Even after the rebellion, he was still just a vassal king. Isn't this just causing trouble for himself? Even if you sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight like other vassal kings everywhere.
Waiting and watching, the imperial court issued an order to send troops to attack the King of Yan. The promise was good, but there was no movement, no troops, and no food.
In Li Jinglong's view, this is what a normal vassal king should do and think. Since King Han followed him in the rebellion, he obviously also coveted the throne. King Yan did not want to have one more person and
He fought for the throne, so conflicts and gaps arose.
Another day has passed, and today the two sides are still winning or losing.
Li Jinglong had been in the camp at night, thinking carefully about what he had thought about during the day. If King Yan and King Han really had conflicts with each other, it would mean that the Northern Army was not monolithic.
They are not monolithic, so who should we contact? To be honest, in terms of closeness, Li Jinglong has not met King Han a few times, but he is relatively familiar with King Yan. The two can be said to be childhood playmates. If
If Li Jinglong really had to choose, Li Jinglong might choose his childhood friend Zhu Di, King of Yan.
But he was losing consecutive battles, and his losses were at the hands of King Yan Zhu Di. Li Jinglong was really unwilling to bow to King Yan. What he wanted to do was defeat King Yan, so he began to hesitate again when it came to King Han.
Just then, I saw my men coming to report.
"Commander, the Northern Army prisoners we captured today brought some news. Commander, do you want to bring them in?"
Li Jinglong suddenly raised his head after hearing this. In his opinion, since there is any news about the prisoners of the Northern Army at this time, it must be related to the internal affairs of the Northern Army. If so, maybe this is a good opportunity for him to use a divorce plan.
"Bring the people up!"
After a while, the Northern Army prisoners captured today were pushed into the camp and knelt in front of Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong looked at the prisoner.
"Where are you from?"
The prisoner was asked this question by Li Jinglong and could only answer.
"As far as the Marshal is concerned, the younger one is from Henan."
"Henan people? It seems that you must be a soldier under King Yan?"
The prisoner shook his head: "No, Commander, I am a soldier under the King of Han. I used to be a member of Baihu in Kaiyuan. Isn't this why the King of Han insists on dragging us who are the leading soldiers to join the rebellion? Let's start from
Kaiyuan ran to Peiping."
Li Jinglong answered wrongly, and he didn't care.
