I'm a big dick

Chapter 375 Liu Xingzuo's Audience

If Hai Lanzhu has an idea now, it also wants to use Nuke.After all, Nuke was invited by Ming Ting, so he should be able to speak.

This is also her conjecture. As for the hostile relationship between the Zhalut tribe and the Horqin tribe, but after all, it is because of the relationship between Houjin and they are both Mongols, so there is no need to kill people, right?
The so-called urgent medical treatment is just like Hai Lanzhu.On the prairie, he was full of vigor, only thinking about finding his parents and relatives, even if they died together.

It may not die, but we still have to try our best to find a way.Calm down, it will be different from the original idea.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty wouldn't kill all the leaders of the Horqin Department?" Bumbutai comforted his sister, but even she didn't believe her own guess, "Surrender to the head office, the Horqin Department has never beaten Daming, and The Houjin alliance was also forced and helpless, which is understandable."

Darhan scratched his head and smiled ugly.Not to mention country to country, even among the tribes of Mongolia, how can it be said that there is excusability?Whoever is strong has the final say, and whoever is powerful will be justified.

Hai Lanzhu smiled consolingly at her sister, and gave her a piece of meat, but her heart was bitter and sad, and she was at a loss what to do.

Darhan sighed secretly, and said, "After dinner, go for a walk in the capital and see the palace!"

"When you see the palace, maybe you can also see the people in the palace." Bumbutai's eyes lit up, "It's okay to ask him to send a message to the emperor, right?"

Hai Lanzhu pursed her lips and smiled, and said to herself: If you could send a message to the emperor casually, what would the palace be? It's even worse than your own house!

But it's good to have that little hope. Anyway, staying in the inn can't be helped, it's good to try your luck.

Darhan hurriedly reminded: "Don't dare to act recklessly, the soldiers and guards outside the palace are aggressive, and the emperor didn't even know they were beheaded."

Hai Lanzhu became more determined after hearing this.Anyway, when I came here, I already held my heart to death, so what are you afraid of?Thinking of this, she began to eat food with a big mouthful.

.........................
In the palace, Zhu Youxiao didn't know that there were two maids who wanted to break into the palace gate.He was sitting majestically in the imperial chair, looking at the gate of the palace, waiting for the audience of brother Liu Xingzuo.

Despite the encouragement of "Li Xianzhong of the Great Song Dynasty" and the decision to reuse Liu Xingzuo, the majesty of the emperor still needs to be shown to make him awe, make him more loyal, and make him work harder in the future.

"Criminal Liu Xingzuo (Liu Xingren) kowtowed to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Liu Xingzuo was introduced to the palace by officials from the Ministry of Rites, and he already felt the power and majesty of the imperial power.

The tall palace walls, splendid palaces, and guards of the imperial guards stand tall, creating the majesty of the royal family, and the awe is heartfelt and spontaneous.

Signing up and waiting outside Qianqing Palace, Brother Liu Xingzuo didn't even dare to lift his head.Inside the hall is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the emperor who ruled billions of people, and the supreme commander of millions of Ming troops.

"Xuan Liu Xingzuo enters the palace!" It didn't take long, but Brother Liu Xingzuo seemed to have waited for a long time. I don't know if it was hot or nervous, and his back was already sweating profusely.

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren's footsteps were heavy. As soon as they entered the hall, they only vaguely saw the figure of Minghuang on the throne, and they knelt down on the ground, shouting long live.

Zhu Youxiao pursed the corners of his mouth, paused for a moment on purpose, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Qing, flat body."

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren kowtowed to thank them again, then slowly got up, bowed and stood with their heads lowered.

"Look up and watch, I don't blame you." The emperor's voice sounded again.

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised their heads, only looked at the emperor, then lowered their eyes again, not daring to look directly.

They understood it correctly, making them look up, not really staring at the emperor enough, but the emperor wanted to see their appearance.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the two of them, and after a while, he spoke again, his tone softened a lot, "After the two Qing family members died, they tried every means to escape and return, just like Li Xianzhong of Song Dynasty. Fuzhou returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, with the most outstanding achievements. It's admirable."

Liu Xingzuo hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The sinful minister helps the slave to attack the Ming Dynasty, and ten thousand deaths cannot atone for the crime. Long live without blame, the emperor's grace is already great, how dare the criminal minister take credit for it?"

"Qing has the heart to do anything wrong, and is not afraid of danger. If you take action, your previous crimes will be averted, and you two should not entangle with the past." Zhu Youxiao said: "From now on, as long as you serve the country wholeheartedly and make contributions, the world's people will be happy." How could Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren, the Ming generals who only knew who fought for the country, only remember the past?"

"Thanks to Long Live's magnanimity and grace, the criminals dare not die and be loyal, in order to repay Long Live, and to repay China." Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, and waved for the palace servants to take away the large wooden plate, which contained the imperial sword and two sets of armor.

"Thank you, long live Long En, long live, long live, long live!" The Liu brothers took it with both hands and thanked them again.

Zhu Youxiao stood up, stepped down from the throne, came to the sand table at the corner of the palace, and greeted him with his hand: "Liu Qing, come here and tell me about the mountains and rivers in Liaodong, and the real situation of building slaves."

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren handed the wooden tray to the palace servants, stepped forward respectfully, looked at the sand tray carefully, distinguished the geographical mountains, rivers and rivers, and began to tell the story.

Although the sand table was made more and more refined with the help of the officials of the Ministry of War and the Liaodong Army, it was so fine that Liu Xingzuo and his brothers were surprised and admired.

However, Zhu Youxiao checked the sand table to formulate an action plan. Although he had a foresight of history, it was unavoidable that he was suspected of talking on paper.

As far as next year's winter and spring offensive is concerned, Zhu Youxiao has not yet made a final decision.The Ming army in the towns of Liaodong only had speculations and did not know the specific plans of the imperial court.

The reason why it was not finalized is that Zhu Youxiao learned the lesson of Saarhu's splitting and using troops.

As far as the current total strength of the Ming army in Eastern Liaodong is concerned, apart from the strongest strength in Liaozhen, which can compete with the main force of Jiannu, the forces in southern Liaodong and Dongjiang headquarters are difficult to withstand the concentrated attack of Jiannu.

If Jiannu did not fight head-on with the Ming army in western Liaoning, but voluntarily abandoned Liaoshen and attacked the Dongjiang headquarters or the Ming army in southern Liaoning, at least it would have a clear advantage in terms of strength.

There are three associations in the Dongjiang headquarters, with a force of [-] to [-]. Including the expanded cavalry, the entire army will not exceed [-];

In southern Liaoning, there are two associations in Dongjiang and three associations in Dengzhen.Except for the soldiers and horses defending the recovered land, the mobile force counted as four alliances, which is more reliable.

Similarly, the four associations have 3 to [-] troops, and they do not have the advantage of crushing the entire army of Jiannu.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao thought over and over again, and felt that the three parties moved together to force Jiannu to divide his troops to resist, thus falling into a complete passiveness, which is a bit taken for granted.

Of course, if Jiannu wanted to defeat the Ming army in southern Liaoning or the Dongjiang headquarters, he would have to pay a huge price.

Now is not the time for the Saarhu War, and the Ming army is not a patchwork of troops from Liao, Sichuan, Gansu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. It lacks food, pay, morale, and has not yet been run-in.

With the current Ming army's weapons and equipment and fighting will, to defeat the Liaonan Ming army or the Dongjiang headquarters, Jiannu would almost have two teeth broken.

Despite this, Zhu Youxiao still has to try his best to secure a decisive victory in Pingliao.

"Jiannu must defend Jianzhou, won't he give up?" Listening to the Liu brothers' supplementary narration, the emperor took a moment to ask.

The emperor still insisted on attacking the land that the enemy must defend, forcing the slaves to divide their troops, thereby weakening the troops they could gather.

Liu Xingzuo thought for a while and replied cautiously: "Jianzhou is a place where old slaves made troubles, and its significance is extraordinary. I think that Jiannu will not give up easily."

"What about Liaoshen?" The emperor continued to ask: "Compared with Liaoshen and Jianzhou, which one is more important?"

Liu Xingzuo looked embarrassed, it was really difficult to answer this question.

For example, one former residence is passed down from the ancestors and is of great significance; the other is the new residence, which is large and spacious and comfortable to live in.

Liu Xingren blinked his eyes, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Long live back, I thought Liao was heavier than Jianzhou."

Zhu Youxiao smiled lightly and didn't speak, but his eyes showed encouragement.

Liu Xingren sorted out his thoughts again, and said: "Although the old slave is in Hetuala, Jianzhou, which is Khan, and the name of the country is established. But after the capital was moved to Liaoyang, his relatives have all moved away. I heard that Hetuala is very dilapidated. ..."

Who is used to eating big fish and meat, who would eat cornbread pickles?Who wants to go to the old house to recall bitterness and sweetness when they are used to living in beautiful high-rise houses?

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough, Zhu Youxiao thinks this is what Liu Xingren said.

Moreover, if they return to Jianzhou, it means that Houjin is already in poverty and can only linger on his last breath.Don't think that the Jurchens are monolithic, and they will not be staged if they fly separately when a disaster is imminent.

Therefore, once Liaoshen is lost, it will not only be a serious political and military defeat, but also a heavy blow to the hearts of the people.

If possible, it would be better to have both the old capital and the new capital for Jiannu.But when faced with a choice, Liaoshen is obviously more important than Jianzhou.

Zhu Youxiao was more sure of his new plan, and asked the Liu brothers about the truth about the establishment of slaves. The mountains, rivers and rivers in Liaodong made him more confident.

Returning to the throne, Zhu Youxiao said with Hexi's smile, "Have the Ministry of War told you about the imperial court's arrangement?"

"Long live, I already know." Liu Xingzuo bowed and said: "Go to study martial arts first, and then arrange to serve in the army."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said: "Entering martial arts is the only way for officers to pass. You must study hard and don't slack off. Next year, there will be a big war in Liaodong. Whether you can lead troops to battle will also depend on your performance in martial arts." .”

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I intend to hand over the most elite and strongest army of our Ming Dynasty to you, but it also depends on whether you have the ability and whether you can make me feel at ease."

Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingren hurriedly bowed and said that they will never fail to live up to Long live's expectations, and must work hard in martial arts.

Zhu Youxiao seemed relieved and satisfied, and after a few more words of encouragement, he ordered the two to resign.

After the two left the palace, the emperor thought for a while, then got up and came to the sand table, rubbed his chin and began to study.

Since Jianzhou is ranked second, Jiannu is unlikely to use the main force to protect it; since Liaoshen is Jiannu's top priority to defend, facing the heavy troops in Liaozhen, it is necessary to stay with a considerable force.

With such a judgment, let the troops of the Dongjiang headquarters go north along the Yalu River and penetrate Tonghua, and then they can directly attack Jianzhou.

How many troops can Jiannu use to defend?Judging from the current intelligence, there are only two banners.Even if reinforcements are drawn from Liaoshen, it will be two banners at most.

You can reinforce, can't I send troops?Taking advantage of the speed and convenience of transporting troops by sea, two or three guilds were transferred from southern Liaoning to participate in the battle, and they could still form a force advantage in local battlefields.

If a stalemate battle can be formed in Jianzhou, Liaozhen will be launched again, and with the support of the Ming army in southern Liao, it will be able to form a crushing trend against Liao Shen Jiannu.

That's good, let's start it one by one, see how Jiannu handles it, and then make a move in response.

It seems that it is better to give Jiannu a choice than to force them to have only one way to go.

Moreover, the fall of the Horqin tribe made Jiannu lose its buffer with the Mongolian tribes.After being deterred by this, the five ministries of Neikalkha should be more firm in their pro-Ming stance.

If the five divisions of Neikalkha, supplemented by part of the Ming army, entered the Jiannu-occupied area from Liaohetao, and attacked Kaiyuan and Tieling... Tieling would be quite a big city in later generations!
The four directions are launched sequentially, all directions from southeast to northwest, let's see how Jiannu will deal with it?

The emperor narrowed his eyes, imagining the embarrassment of the old slave constantly receiving reports of the enemy's situation and struggling to deal with it, showing a sinister sneer.

The plan for a major counterattack is in the winter and spring of next year, but Jiannu cannot be stopped now.Let the enemy move, and move to reveal more flaws.

The emperor's eyes fell on Gaizhou, and the prelude to the counterattack will start from here!

.........................
After walking a long way from the Forbidden City, Liu Xingzuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his entourage leading the horses, and suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten.

Almost like him, Liu Xingren also let out a long breath, and his body relaxed all of a sudden.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Long live is broad-minded." Liu Xingzuo held the reward and bowed his hands sideways to the palace, "Ignoring our previous crimes, we still need to investigate and reuse them. You and my brother should not disappoint Long live."

Liu Xingren nodded, and said: "If Wansui is not wise and powerful, how can he overthrow the situation in Liaodong and suppress Jiannu to the last breath? Lord Yuan, Lord Xiong, and Shuai Mao are all capable ministers and generals. It's just about knowing people and doing well." , long live can be called the Mingjun through the ages."

Although there is a flattering element and a big one, it is also true.The golden finger of a traveler is to know the general trend of history and know the truth and falsehood of many historical figures.

Teacher Yuan is extremely powerful, making Hou Jin hate him to the bone, and also suppressing Hou Jin so much that he can't breathe; Lao Xiong is also a real talent except for his bad mouth;

As for the so-called Nurhachi's strongest opponent, Yuan Dachui who could only defend the city as a victory, but Zhu Youxiao didn't even give him a chance.

Brother Liu Xingzuo got on his horse and walked, not galloping, but talking while walking.

In the feudal dynasty, being received and comforted by the emperor will definitely make people's blood rush and they will be overwhelmed with excitement.

And the emperor's Tianwei is close at hand, even if he is a fierce general who is criss-crossing the battlefield, he will prostrate himself on the ground, trembling.

Zhu Youxiao also gradually understood the thinking and habits of the ancient people, and used these more and more skillfully to control the courtiers and consolidate the loyalty of civil servants and generals.
