As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Guogong came to the main seat surrounded by a group of generals.

Next to Duke Cheng Guo were two generals, both nephews and nephews of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong. One held a seal in both hands, and the other held a sword in both hands. It was the sword seal given by Zhu Qizhen.

This is how the whole army is ordered.

Duke Cheng Guo sat down.

All the generals below stood up at the same time and said loudly: "Greetings to the general."

Generally speaking, when you call Shangguan, you naturally refer to the highest one among various official titles. In fact, Cheng Guogong has other official titles. But these three are the most important, and the most important one is the General of the Conqueror, which can be said to be the most important one.

The number one military general in the imperial court may not have the title.

This official position is actually similar to the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and is not permanent at all.

This is not the first time that Duke Cheng Guo has held this title. After Wa Ci retreated his army last time, he immediately submitted a letter to give up this title. It will be the same this time.

Once there is no war, no one dares to hold this title forever.

Even Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was the same.

Therefore, everyone unanimously called Duke Cheng Guo the Great General.

Cheng Guogong said calmly: "Sit down."

In fact, this is also the influence of Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen was not used to him sitting and having people stand up to talk, so that would be enough if it lasted a while. But important matters of the imperial court were so simple that they could be explained clearly in a short while.

Once Zhu Qizhen summons the right person, he will have to talk for dozens of minutes as long as it is not nonsense like greetings and greetings. You can't let people kneel or stand all the time?

Therefore, it has become a habit for Zhu Qizhen to sit down.

Zhu Qizhen did this, and everyone else got used to it successfully.

During the previous discussion between the Chinese army and the army, only a few generals had seats, and the rest of the generals just stood behind the generals. Moreover, the style changed drastically, and a large number of chairs were placed in the courtyard.

Although Cheng Guogong is not used to it, he can only feel that the main hall of Shanxi Dusi is a bit small. After all, the imperial meetings are like this. What else does he want?

Cheng Guogong said: "I just received news from the Xuanfu that the Dushi Fort was lost, and the guard Yang Jun abandoned the city and fled."

After hearing this, Yang Hong's face turned pale. He immediately came out and said, "The general is not strict in educating his children and has violated state affairs. Please punish me, the general?"

"You are you, and your son is your son. My father-in-law will not blame your son for what happened to you, nor will he blame you for what happened to your son. It's just that General Yang is a hero-----"

Yang Hong's face was pale, and his eyes were extremely complicated.

At this moment, he had the idea of ​​killing his son Yang Jun, which was simply an insult to his family.

The Monolith Fortress was the key point and he had reinforced it many times. Even if it could not be said to be rock solid, it was not far behind. Yang Hong thought to himself that if he was asked to defend this place, even if there were 100,000 soldiers and horses, he could hold it for the first half of the year.

More than enough.

Of course, he was able to defend the first half of the year because the water source and food in the Monolith Castle could only sustain him for half a year.

Although he was heartbroken, he also understood that his son Yang Jun was probably dead. Perhaps he could redeem his son's life by making new achievements. As for his future in the army, he didn't even think about it.

As for now, he won't die for a while.

The reason is very simple. The real power of decision-making in the military in the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of the emperor.

Even if you are given that kind of advantageous power, no general will use it unless absolutely necessary. Xu Da has done such a thing. When a general committed a crime, Xu Da had the power to execute him, but he could only use it.

The general's prison car entered Beijing.

Emperor Taizu reprimanded Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, for this incident and reiterated his right to take advantage of the situation. He could kill first and then report later, but he never killed the general on the battlefield.

It can be said that the court has delegated the power to act expediently and kill people on the spot to a certain person. You can do this. But unless it is absolutely necessary, whoever does this will generally not end well.

High-voltage wires are generally used to scare people. To tell the truth.

The most typical one is Yuan Chonghuan, when he killed Mao Wenlong. Even though he was a noble man but a lowly military man, even though he had the power to act expediently, before that, I don’t know how many people had this power, but none of them used it like he did.

Therefore, not to mention his other faults, for this alone, his death was not unjust.

Although Yang Jun's official position is not too high, he is not an ordinary low-level official like Qian Hubai. Even if he wants to be executed, he still has to pass the test in Beijing.

Guo Deng will not attack easily, he will give Yang Hong some kindness.

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong did not intend to give Yang Hong a blow, but this military situation was very important.

It is impossible for the imperial court to send reinforcements to Xuanfu. Duke Cheng Zhu Yong will be responsible for the entire battlefield, including Xuanfu.

Zhu Yong continued: "Uncle Xibo just came to report that the cavalry of the Wasi Brigade was heading south, but he blocked it at Longmen Station. Although the terrain of Longmen Station is dangerous, it is not a natural danger after all. Uncle Xijian was worried that he would not be able to hold on. He had already asked for help from the army.

"

"How do you think the army should make a decision?"

"The Duke," Wu Jinhou Zhu Mian stood up and said, "The Duke of Western Fujian also knows that Guo Deng is a safe man. He is just worried that he will not be able to hold on, but based on what I know about him, he wants to blockade the Longmen area.

, but it’s still okay.”

"Therefore, there are more Waqi cavalry than our dynasty. The general feels that we should take advantage of this opportunity to defeat one of the Waqi first, and then talk about the others."

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, also nodded. This is also the best policy for military strategists. If we divide our troops into two groups and attack them with two groups, we will be at a disadvantage.

Duke Cheng Guo said: "Then let's fight the two divisions of Azizhiyuan first, which one should be fought first."

"Fight first." Wu Kezhong said: "If you shoot the man first, shoot the horse, and to capture the thief first capture the king. Also break it first. Each tribe of thorns has no owner, and the nebula naturally disperses, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Yes, let's fight first and let Uncle Fujian hold on for a while."

For a while, the generals below were also talking about it, but most people agreed with this point of view.

Although everyone knows that the strongest part of Wasi must be in the hands of Ye Xian, the generals in the Beijing camp almost don't care about this. In their view, it is just the difference between spending more effort and spending less effort.

.

But you should get more credit first if you fight, right?

Although there is an Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty now, the generals here are all sensible people. The so-called real power of the Yuan Dynasty is in the hands of this powerful minister who was first written as Cao Cao.

If anyone can take advantage of the sword and change it to a hereditary title, there will be absolutely no problem.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong gently pressed his hand, and the generals below immediately muted their voices and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Naturally, no one has an opinion.

Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Yong had already made up his mind. At this moment, it was just a matter of consensus. He made a decision immediately: "Okay, in that case, it's settled. The frontline scouts said that the Wasi army is at Mao'erzhuang, a short distance away."

Datong is only three hundred miles away. Tomorrow, three thousand battalions and five military camps, with cavalry from each unit and ten days of dry food, will rush with me to Mao'erzhuang and take the head of Ye Xian."

Maoerzhuang was the beginning of Ye Xian's invasion, and Wa Ci won the first battle near Maoerzhuang. And even though Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, came quickly, Mongolia was not without gains.

For a large number of Mongolian tribes who are struggling on the line of life and death, the vicinity of Datong is already considered a treasure land with extremely rich wealth. Even if Wacic withdraws his troops, there will still be a large number of tribes who are hard-pressed to part with their wealth, carrying large and small bags with them.

Even the troops of Wasi's headquarters were not without trophies.

However, the army must be strictly managed first. At least no one among the soldiers carries extra load. There are special followers to escort the loot. At this moment, the food and materials snatched from the south are all hoarded in the Maoerzhuang area.

It will take some time to transport it back.

Of course, judging from the speed of retreat from Datong City, this time will not be too long.

Therefore, Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, decided not to wait for the rear army, and led the 150,000 selected cavalry, the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty, and even the most powerful and largest cavalry group among all the military forces of the Ming Dynasty, in Maoerzhuang and Waqi.

Fight a decisive battle.

After all, Wasi suffered a lot from going south this time. If there was no gain at all, Ye Xian's ability would be questioned.

After all, the Grassland Alliance, to a certain extent, is not much different from a robbery gang. The boss who failed to lead a successful robbery and instead suffered heavy losses will be opposed by many people.
