When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 11: Don’t be too hasty.

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

It’s finally here, and everyone is beginning to look forward to the last scene of this operation. Although the ending has been known for a long time, such an epic event can only be heard of a few times in a lifetime, let alone that it can now be seen without risk in the miracle. The whole story.
-
Han Dynasty, the first year of Yuan Shuo.

Liu Che turned to look at Wei Qing: "What does the Marquis of Guannei think of King Yan's trip?"

Wei Qing lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If we go by the previous situation, there are no talents in the court, and the general trend is on King Yan's side, I don't expect that the capital will be lost before the middle of the year."

"Then do you think what the dismissed officials said is true or false?" Liu Che asked again.

Wei Qing responded: "According to what was said in the miracle, Geng Bingwen had nearly 15 troops, and Li Jinglong had 60 troops. If the court did not mobilize local garrisons, it would be difficult to have sufficient troops. And King Yan had many talents, so naturally I understand that I can’t put it off for too long.

[On December [-], King Yan led his army to Li County. 】

[Zhu Di sent his general Li Yuan to lead a small force to explore the route first, and then sent Zhu Neng to lead a thousand men to Hengshui. 】

[As the news of Zhu Di going south spread throughout the streets, Zhu Yunwen ordered Mei Yin, the Prince-in-law, to guard Huai'an. If there were insufficient troops, he could recruit them on the spot. 】

[In the first month of the fourth year of Emperor Jianwen's reign, Zhu Yunwen sent Wei Guogong Xu Huizu to bring some troops from the capital to Shandong for reinforcements. 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

The current Wei Guogong never expected that he could actually see his son. Although he wanted to know the future blessings and misfortunes of his descendants, according to this situation, he didn't think about it at all now.

Everyone did not pay attention to Xu Huizu. No matter how bad he was, how could he be comparable to Li Jinglong?
The issue they are more concerned about now is that Zhu Di is guarding the north, and most of the troops are good at ground combat, while the capital is in the south and there are many waters nearby.

Zhu Di had no sailors, but Huai'an was mostly surrounded by rivers and lakes. Although they knew that Zhu Di won in the end, they were curious about how Zhu Di broke out of this predicament.

Although he has the talent of a general, he has no soldiers, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

Could it be the second or fifth boy mentioned in the miracle?
Are those outsiders seeking refuge with King Yan? ——
[Li Yuan led his troops to fight with Ge Jin, the Texas defender, in Gaocheng. After one day and one night, he defeated Ge Jin and killed thousands of people.Zhu Neng of Hengshui met the Ping'an Army and also won a great victory, capturing the commander Jia Rong alive. 】

[Following the two great victories, the main force of the Yan army went straight to Guantao, crossed the river, and successively captured Dong'a, Dongpingwen and other counties. They won successive victories wherever they went. 】

[On the 27th of the first lunar month, the Yan army arrived in Peixian County. The commander Wang Xian had already opened the city gates, waiting for the arrival of the Yan army. 】

[Zhu Di did not recruit any forces along the way, or stop to collect resources. He knew very well what his goal was, how could he be blinded by money halfway. 】

[Although he has the courage to move forward, he will not despise the enemy because of this. He still has the difficulty of the Southern Army to overcome. 】

[He knew his own disadvantages very well, so Zhu Di did not plan to directly fight the Confederate army. He planned to cut off the Confederate army's food and fodder first to undermine their morale. 】

[In February, Zhu Di sent the Mongolian talent and outstanding general Zhan Tai whom he met while stationed at the border with ten personal guards to investigate. 】

[After they arrived in Zouxian County, they found that the Confederate Army's grain and grass troops transporting 3000 people were about to leave. They had no time to go back and report the news, so Huantai sent people into the camp to destroy the general's flag first, and then led people into the camp. 】【On the 21st, Xuzhou was surrounded by the Yan army and refused to surrender. Zhu Di laid ambushes several times to lure them out of the city, which completely destroyed their last resistance and made them lose the courage to fight out of the city. After that, they left directly and continued southward. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Xu Da had already started to shake his head: "The morale of the imperial court has been lost!"

Perhaps armies with generals such as the Ping An Army still have the ability to organize counterattacks, but other local armies may have lost their will to resist.

We can't blame these generals for opening the door and surrendering. Their abilities were not as good as the King of Yan, and the court did not provide support. They were defeated again and again in the war against the King of Yan. They were also powerless.

They didn't dare to say more. After all, this was an internal conflict within the Emperor's family. How could they dare to interfere indiscriminately?Moreover, Long Live is still sitting high in the main hall now. Although he looks expressionless, it is precisely because of this that they are afraid.

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin's concerns were completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty. The internal battles in the royal family had been similar for thousands of years. They were not from their time, so what use could they have?

What he cared about was the Mongolian generals, and he couldn't help but bring them to the Liao Kingdom in the north.

"After the Liao Dynasty is recovered, we can also recruit outstanding talents from the local area to further expand our territory for the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhao Guangyi responded in a low voice: "Although foreigners also have talents, they are not members of the same clan after all. They may be at risk in the Tang Dynasty, so they should not be placed in high positions. They should be taken care of slowly."
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin's focus was the same as Zhao Kuangyin's. Which emperor would dislike having few talents under his command?
They are always thirsty for talents. If they lose this desire, the country will be in danger!

He immediately ordered: "We should recruit talents from various foreign races every year to work together for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

Against the praise of everyone, Wei Zheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is good to appoint foreigners, but they must be carefully screened to prevent rebellious traitors from mixing in. Besides, there are still many barbarians who have not yet surrendered to our country, the Tang Dynasty. , don’t act too hastily.”

Li Shimin's interest was interrupted again, but it was Wei Zheng who spoke after all. He also knew that this man could only change the subject. He turned to Li Jing and said: "I will fully support you in this expedition. You don't have to worry about the problems at the rear. There is only one request, we must bring out the momentum of our Tang Dynasty, so that all countries can bow their heads, yearn for our Datang, and integrate into our Datang, do you understand?"

Li Shimin also had the idea of ​​assimilating the barbarians at this time. With these people gathered together, wouldn't the national power of the Tang Dynasty be doubled?

"I will do my best not to insult the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Jing responded.

[In March, the Yan army was stationed in Suzhou]

[On the [-]th, Zhu Di ordered people to stuff the weeds into a bag made of silk, which looked like real silk.When the Ping'an army came and found out, chaos began. They were fighting each other for the bags. The Yan army took the opportunity to rush out, defeated the Ping'an army, captured the general Huo'er alive, and arranged him as a personal guard. 】

[On the 23rd, Zhu Di ordered a surprise attack on the Confederate army's grain and grass transport troops and won a great victory. However, he was surrounded by the Confederate army on the way back. The grain and grass were actually bait. Zhu Di found out and rushed to support. Unexpectedly, the previous personal guards were in flames. Guangcai, in order to repay Zhu Di's kindness, he fought desperately and killed dozens of Confederate soldiers. In the end, the Confederate army was defeated and fled. 】

[In early April, the Yan army arrived at Huai River and began to build a bridge across the river. 】

[Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the Ping'an Army. At the same time, He Fu's army arrived to defeat the Yan Army. Zhu Di had no sailors. He encountered the biggest crisis since he raised his army. 】
