Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 169 Your Majesty's Chance Has Come
From the overall strategic point of view, the goal of the fire screening has been achieved, because after the battle in the northwest, the weakness of the entire Ming Dynasty was completely exposed, not to mention the search and trap, defense is also a problem.Under such circumstances, what Daming needs to do is to stabilize and stabilize the three sides, rather than sending troops to search for traps.

Even if Daming had the heart to search for traps, he would not have the strength to search for traps. Huozhai could use this time to gain a firm foothold in Hetao.

Qin Hong's unhappiness also stems from this. Even if he stabilized the three sides here, the court was still powerless to search, and when the three sides were stabilized, Huozhai had gained a firm foothold in Hetao at that time. It is impossible to go up.Qin Hong's frustration also came from this, and also came from this.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qin Hong, how could he be reconciled, besides, why did he come to the northwest this time?Taking people for a stroll?It would be better not to come.

Glancing at Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao said calmly, "Qin Qing, how many cavalry can we gather from the three sides?"

Qin Hong glanced at Zhu Houzhao, his heart moved, but his expression didn't change at all. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness wants to search? But now that the three sides are just preparing for war, the morale of the army is not stable, and they want to search too much." It's difficult. Huozhai is brave and skilled in battle, and has many tricks, once Sotu is defeated, the three parties may lose!"

"I came to Sanbian, I didn't go back for a stroll." Zhu Houzhao didn't explain, just said such a sentence.

"There's no need for them to do anything, as long as they can fight the wind. This time, I not only need to search for traps, but also defeat the fire screen in one fell swoop, making him unable to enter Hetao."

Qin Hong really hesitated this time. Needless to say, the people Zhu Houzhao brought were really able to fight and elite, Qin Hong could tell this.But the three sides can't lose, once Soudao loses, the three sides will really be in big trouble.At that time, the northwest will shake, and it will even be able to go straight to the capital, which is really not worth it.

Seeing Qin Hong's hesitation, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Morale is built up, if you don't fight this time, morale will never be raised again."

"If we don't fight this time, the seeds of fear of fire sieve will be planted. At that time, even if the three sides are stable, the imperial court will be powerless." Zhu Houzhao said loudly: "When the time comes, Daming will be afraid of the Tartars. Qin Qing should be clearer than Ben Gong about the consequences of being afraid of fighting and not going forward, and Ben Gong does not want to repeat the mistakes of the weak Song Dynasty."

Qin Hong hesitated a little after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, but he still said, "We can gather [-] cavalry from the three sides."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "That's enough, Qin Qing has started to mobilize manpower and gather troops. This time, I will personally lead the army into the set."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong was stunned immediately, stood up directly, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, this is absolutely not possible. How can His Highness be in danger so easily? No need to work Your Highness."

Qin Hongru couldn't agree to Zhu Houzhao's leading someone to search for the set, it was just a joke.

Zhu Houzhao is the only son of His Majesty today, if he makes a mistake, what should he do?How can I explain to His Majesty, how to explain to the court, how to explain to all the people in the world?Qin Hong couldn't help but think of the Civil Fort Change. The pain that the Civil Fort Change brought to Daming was too tragic, absolutely not.

Glancing at Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao immediately felt dizzy. He knew it would be like this, and he had to say that Qin Hong must cooperate in this matter.

Once he slipped out quietly, the entire northwest would be in chaos, and even the capital would be shaken.

At that time, things will really get serious. Only Qin Hong can stabilize the northwest and lead people to search for it. This is the best way.But judging by Qin Hong's attitude, Zhu Houzhao knew that the matter was probably not going to work.If he insisted on going, Qin Hong might do something, and if he really came to remonstrate, he might not be treated how he would be treated.

At this time, Wang Shouren also stood up from the side, and said with a serious face: "Your Highness is in danger to the world, how can you easily get involved in danger? It's just a fire, there is no need for Your Highness to take action, and I am willing to help His Highness."

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and looked at Wang Shouren. How could he not know what Wang Shouren was planning? This guy has always wanted to be Ban Dingyuan, and he has been talking about throwing pens from Rong Ban Dingyuan all day long. This time he has a chance. How could it be forgotten.But how could Zhu Houzhao be willing to give Wang Shouren such an opportunity? He still wanted to use this battle to build his prestige.

There is Taizong's legacy, Zhu Houzhao has thought about this evaluation for a long time, if you don't go to the battlefield or lead an army to charge, how can you have Taizong's legacy.

Once this reputation is established, Zhu Houzhao's reputation as the crown prince will be at its peak, and it will lay a foundation for his future policy strategies, and at the same time it can deter some people.

"Qin Qing, let's discuss this matter later!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "It's better to gather the troops first, anyway, this battle is going to be fought."

"No, unless His Highness promises that I will not go in person, I would rather not go to the trap." Qin Hong continued to shake his head, with a firm expression on his face.

Zhu Houzhao was speechless immediately, and he also knew that he might not be able to persuade this stubborn little old man, and the expression on his face was also very tangled.Just as Zhu Houzhao was thinking about how to tell Qin Hong, a scout suddenly ran in outside, and he said excitedly, "Report to His Royal Highness, we found an army of Tartars."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao stood up excitedly and said loudly, "How many people are there?"

"Return to Your Highness, there are more than ten thousand!" The scout quickly said: "These days we have been strangling the scouts of the Tartars. This time, the Tartars sent a large army to chase us. Our people escaped and they followed. Now It is less than fifty miles away from Guyuan."

Wang Shouren, who was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, was also excited, and said loudly, "Okay, well done, this time we must keep all the ten thousand Tartars."

Qin Hong on the side smiled wryly. These Tartars really came at the right time. In fact, Tartars are bullying people, and Qin Hong knows this.They are cavalry, so it is impossible for the Tartars not to know what is going on in Guyuan.Under such circumstances, if someone comes to Guyuan to show off, you can't do anything.

Going out of the city to fight, if you can't fight, maybe even the city will be gone, let alone chasing and fighting against cavalry, it is simply impossible.

Under such circumstances, the Tartars are of course rampant. I am only allowed to beat people, but not allowed to beat me. How could they not be rampant.How dare you strangle my scouts, let's see how I will retaliate.

Qin Hong looked at the excited Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren, he knew that this time things might not be stopped, but Qin Hong still persisted, that is, the crown prince could not go out to fight, and he must stop the crown prince from going out of the city to kill the enemy.After glancing at Zhu Houzhao, Qin Hong said, "Your Highness, the Tartars may not attack the city."

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Would you like to raise the prince's flag?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong almost died of fright, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, absolutely not."

If the tartars know that His Royal Highness is in Guyuan, they will definitely flock to Guyuan. Guyuan's city defense will not be able to stop it at all. Once the prince loses, who can afford it? This His Royal Highness is really not good It's reassuring.Zhu Houzhao wanted to give Qin Honglu a hand, you don't know the strength of His Highness at all.

"Let our people prepare for entering the city, and give them a surprise when the time comes!" Zhu Houzhao stopped arguing with Qin Hong, and turned to Wang Shouren and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements. Now he is also excited and excited.

Qin Hong saluted and said, "Your Highness, I'm going to supervise this battle."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "Qin Qing, why not show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy to attack the city?"

"I'll make arrangements now!" Qin Hong nodded, then bowed to Zhu Houzhao, turned around and walked out.Although he agreed on the surface, Qin Hong didn't think so in his heart.In Qin Hong's opinion, the best way is for the Tartars to attack the city, knock out a tooth and then retreat, so as not to let His Highness the Crown Prince have a chance to leave the city.

You must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen, even Liu Ya may kill people. It is too dangerous for His Royal Highness to go out to fight in the city.I must arrange the city defense well. Once the Tartars attack the city, let them jump a tooth, and then retreat obediently. It is best if they see the solemn military appearance on the city wall, and they will retreat by themselves.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Qin Hong was thinking about it, so he stretched his shoulders. Now Zhu Houzhao's heart is burning, he has practiced for so long, is this the day?
After leaving the room, Zhu Houzhao quickly climbed to the top of the city. The ground not far away was trembling, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes was also heard.Although it was not a horse sprint, the 1 cavalry team still raised a lot of smoke and dust.Looking at the past, the expression on Zhu Houzhao's face became serious.

Soon the Tartar cavalry stopped outside Guyuan City, and the Ming army on the top of the city also made preparations, and the two sides confronted each other on the top of the city and under the city wall.

"coming!"

Standing beside Zhu Houzhao, Qin Hong watched a group of Tartar soldiers rushing towards Guyuan City. He quickly pulled Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness, go down to the city!" Then he pulled Zhu Houzhao to the top of the city.

The Tazi soldiers outside urged their horses to the outside of Guyuan City, sat on the horses and drew their bows and arrows, and shot towards the city wall.

The Ming army on the top of the city counterattacked by projectiles. The first battle between the two sides started with bows and arrows, and it was very tragic.

Standing at the bottom of the city, Zhu Houzhao could clearly hear the screams of the Ming army on the city wall. He found a crenel to observe, and Zhu Houzhao found that the Tartar soldiers did not shoot blindly, but quickly hit their horses and ran over to shoot, and then ran away go back.
