Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 674 The surprise attack plan that has been implemented long ago

In the past few months, both Zhang Wuji and Yuan Ting have been preparing intensively for the war.

Everyone knows very well that the battle that will determine the fate of the world will soon begin.

Now the Ming army, led by General Liu Futong, and the Yuan army, led by King Ruyang, are now facing each other with the Yellow River as the boundary.

The south bank of the Yellow River was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the north bank of the Yellow River was the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.The two armies are like two armies facing each other on a chessboard, waiting for a fateful contest.They are all waiting for the final contest between the players from both sides.

After more than half a year of thorough preparations, Ming Dynasty had strong troops.

Today's life is peaceful, and the people around Zhang Wuji are well rested and no longer have to travel around.

Because there was no need to run around or worry, everyone was in good condition. During this period, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui all became pregnant one after another.And Zhao Min's belly is now the size of a "watermelon", and it has only been a few days since she gave birth.

On this day, Zhang Wuji accompanied Zhao Min in the palace.Nowadays, Zhao Min is much bloated because of her pregnancy.She lay on the bed and looked at her husband silently.

Zhang Wuji sat beside the bed and stroked Zhao Min's hand. Zhao Min also looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Min said: "Brother Wuji, there must be a lot of tricks urging you to send troops to the Northern Expedition as soon as possible in the past few days."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "There are indeed quite a few. Marshal Liu and the others will have one almost every day. Their content is basically the same, and they want me to take advantage of Beiyuan's vitality to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Beidi as soon as possible."

Zhao Min asked: "Brother Wuji, why don't you send troops as soon as possible?"

Zhang Wuji touched Zhao Min's forehead, and then said: "Fool, I am the best doctor in the world, and I know your body very well. I felt your pulse and found that you have been in labor in the past few days. At this time, I Where can I go?"

Zhao Min said: "Ah? Brother Wuji can just send a few generals to conquer as before. I asked Sister Su to show me the recent news. We now have strong soldiers and horses, and the Northern Expedition to dominate the world can only be done with a little effort. Brother Wuji, what are you doing? Do you have to go in person?”

Zhang Wuji said: "This time the enemy is your country, your father and brother. The people under my command are all masters of tiger and wolf, and the prince and the prince are also people with strong temperaments. If I don't go there in person, if they are informed How can you bear the bad news of being killed by my generals, or of them committing suicide for the country?" Zhang Wuji put Zhao Min's hand on his cheek, "So I must fight this battle personally. Destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty Unifying the world is secondary, protecting the prince and the others and bringing them back to you safely is the most important thing."

Zhao Min smiled and said, "Brother Wuji, you are so kind!" After saying that, Zhao Min pinched Zhang Wuji's face with his hands.

Faced with Zhao Min's sudden change of expression, Zhang Wuji said in pain: "Min Min, what are you doing?"

Zhao Min then said in a stern tone: "What are you doing? You are an emperor now, not my little husband. How can you be so impulsive? For my happiness, you risk the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Do you know how many days you will be late? , if Dayuan's vitality is restored, how many of our soldiers will die? You only care about whether I am happy, but you don't care about how sad their families will be if they die in battle? "

Faced with Zhao Min's harshness, Zhang Wuji quickly begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay, Minmin, please let go first. I'll tell you the truth." After hearing this, Zhao Min let go of Zhang Wuji's cheek, then gently stroked it, and then said in very green tea words: "Your Majesty~~ My concubine deserves to die. It hurts the emperor. I will rub it for you~~~"

When Zhang Wuji saw Zhao Min changing his face so quickly, he rolled his eyes at Zhao Min.

Zhao Min couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhang Wuji's small eyes.

Zhang Wuji explained: "Actually, our Northern Expedition army set off secretly three months ago."

Zhao Min heard this and asked, "Oh? Set off secretly?"

Zhang Wuji nodded and said: "Yes. But this surprise attack is related to the success or failure of the overall situation, so I strictly limited the source of the information. Even the generals of the Privy Council and the officials of the Zhongshu Province did not tell. Just three months ago Former brother Chang, Lan Yu, and General Li Siqi, who I forcibly brought back to fight the last battle, have already led 30 cavalry to your homeland in Mongolia."

Zhao Min said in surprise: "Huh? Brother Wuji, do you want to eat the entire Dayuan in one bite this time?"

Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Yes."

Zhao Min said: "But I have read our memorial. We only have 20 elite cavalry. When did we get [-] more?"

Zhang Wuji said: "Those 20 cavalry were raised by Fan Youshi in the Western Regions. Most of them were from the old Chagatai Khanate, plus later recruitment. And this time they set out from Yumen Pass. I followed the cavalry before In the name of the defense, Brother Chang and Lan Yu were secretly ordered to go. And this time, all their money and food supplies were borne by the Western Region Province commanded by Fan Youshi. They used your Mongolian tactics to defeat the Mongols in Chagatai. The guide’s help should soon arrive at your Mongolian home.”

"The plan I made with them is that regardless of whether they capture the Mongolian grassland or not, I will personally lead the army in three months, cooperate with the armies of Liu Futong, Xu Da, Tang and the three generals, and let Zhao Pusheng's navy cooperate. We Four armies were sent to cross the Yellow River for the Northern Expedition. Zhang Dingbian set out from Hangzhou and advanced directly from the canal and the sea to Xuzhou and Qilu. Lan Yu, Brother Chang, and General Li made it clear that if they could successfully capture the Mongolian grassland , completely cutting off Yuan Ting's northward escape route from the rear, then they are the first contributors to the destruction of Yuan."

Zhang Wuji finally chuckled and said: "Fishing requires patience. If the secret surprise attack force in the north is not in place yet, then if we can alert the snake in advance, once the main force of the Mongolian army escapes north and returns to Mobei to defend, then if we want to eliminate them, we will It will consume more national power and sacrifice more people. Rather than doing this, it is better to be cautious and fight the decisive battle in the first battle, and decide the outcome in one battle."

Zhang Wuji planned this way because he learned the lessons of Zhu Yuanzhang in the real world.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, he did not completely damage the vitality of the Yuan Dynasty. The small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was a serious concern from the founding of Hongwu to the Yingzong Dynasty.

Even the Oara tribe of Mongolia captured Ming Yingzong and became the biggest joke in the Central Plains dynasty, "called the emperor".Since then, the Ming Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline and has been unable to recover.

Although the Wanli Dynasty launched three major campaigns, it was nothing more than a return to glory.

What Zhang Wuji wanted was to completely solve this big hidden danger on his head.Therefore, he wanted to imitate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and attack the Huns from the north.He asked Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, and Li Siqi to imitate Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Jing, and Li Ji to attack the enemy in a surprise attack and destroy the country in one battle.Even if they didn't completely capture the Mongolian grassland this time, as long as they blocked Emperor Yuan Shun's northward escape route, they would have accomplished a great feat.

In the end, he attacked from the north and south and completely eliminated the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Finally, he split the Mongolian grassland into many small vassal states, allowing them to split again and accept their own rule, so that long-term peace and stability could be achieved.
