"Smells! It smells so damn good!"
The army stopped marching at night, and the camps stretched for several miles and were brightly lit.
Lan Yu sat in Zhu Yunxi's big tent, mixed the stewed meat with thick oil and red sauce into the rice, and wolfed it down. Although he was not young, his appetite was a bit larger than that of a strong man, and he ate very much.
Quickly, you can eat a big bowl of meat and rice in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Yunxi stood aside, holding a military book and reading silently. Hearing the words, he raised his head and smiled, and then focused his eyes on the words in the book.
"Why, you can't even eat meat at home?"
Lan Yu put down the bowl of rice, then sat respectfully on the pony opposite Zhu Yunxi, and said with a smile, "It's not that there is no meat to eat, it's the rice cooked by the old woman at home, and the clear soup is tasteless. I have eaten the food in the camp for half my life.
The rice still has the aroma of oil and salt, which is refreshing!"
"It's because you have been fighting for half your life that I boldly begged the emperor for mercy and let you serve as military counselor!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Don't thank me yet, tell me, if you are a handsome man, you should be courting Goryeo this time.
how to spell?"
In fact, Zhu Yunxi already had a plan on how to fight. When asking Yu Lanyu, he just had to listen and understand.
"If I were the commander-in-chief, I shouldn't have declared war!" Lan Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Although the country of Koryo is small, it can still be regarded as a strong country. Your Highness led the army from the capital, and coupled with the mobilization of troops and horses in Liaodong, Koryo
If you are prepared, it will be difficult to fight!"
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. Goryeo will not know if it does not declare war. Send two elite cavalry as the vanguard. It does not require more than 5,000 people. Cross the Yalu River and do not give North Korea time and opportunity to assemble. Avoid the strong city and go straight to the King of Goryeo.
All."
"Five thousand people can turn him upside down. When Goryeo gathers its army, the tens of thousands of infantry troops following the cavalry will directly cover Goryeo's back. As long as Pyongyang is broken, the Korean capital will be wiped out. At that time, or the alliance under the city,
Or destroy the country, it all depends on your mood, Your Highness!"
Remember https://m in one second.
When it comes to military affairs, Lan Yu's eyes sparkle. Strategic arrangements, troop mobilization, and coordination of arms are all made immediately, as if they have been planned for a long time.
The tactics he mentioned reminded Zhu Yunxi of an ancient book he had read in the East Palace. It told the story of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom who conquered Goryeo in the second year of Daguan of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the situation in the north was unstable, and the Liao Empire was about to show signs of defeat. As a result, the Koreans wanted to take the opportunity to extend their claws to the Yalu River.
Wanyan Aguda, who was still the leader of the tribe, sent his brother Wanyan Wuyashu to lead 500 cavalry to the Yalu River for support. The Jurchen tribes on both sides joined forces, with about 2,500 cavalry. On the Goryeo side, there were one
Seventeen thousand people.
The Wanyan Jurchens did not declare war, but secretly crossed the Yalu River and chased the opponent's enemy. Twenty thousand people chopped them off. Then Goryeo couldn't bear the humiliation and gathered ten thousand soldiers and horses, hoping to eat this Jurchen cavalry.
In the end, two thousand five against ten thousand, the Jurchens were completely victorious, and Goryeo sued for peace.
What Lan Yu said was exactly the same as Wanyan Jurchen's tactics that day, which were to attack directly without declaring war, and wait for the opponent's army to gather before engaging in field battles.
"Our Ming Dynasty is a big country after all. It is really unjustifiable to go to war without declaring a vassal state. This time we went to conquer Goryeo, and we all spent a lot of money." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If we really start a direct war, I am afraid that the boss of the court will
Fathers and sons, we’re going to blow up the pot!”
He only said half of what he said. He also wanted to launch a surprise attack on Goryeo. But Chen Na and the old man couldn't get through it. After all, the Ming Dynasty wanted to save face. These things would be written down in the history books in the future, which would not look good.
"Those scholars and stinking officials will yell randomly!" Lan Yu squinted and scolded, "It's not their sons who are fighting in the army, so of course they are not afraid of death! What kind of majestic and kingly warriors, bah! Why should they kill the enemy if they can kill them?
greet!"
"Are the Koreans good at fighting?" Zhu Yunxi asked, not wanting to dwell on this issue.
Lan Yu paused, "It's not bad!" He immediately continued, "Not quite as good as the Tatars, but the Goryeo people are good at shooting. The best archer in the Goryeo army can shoot two hundred steps. As early as the Meng Yuan Dynasty
, Goryeo is a famous horse farm in the world, with tall war horses and numerous cavalry!"
This is a fact. The war horses of Goryeo now are actually better than the original war horses. The good horses that Goryeo sends as tribute every year are almost five feet (one meter and a half) tall.
Furthermore, the current monarch of Goryeo, Li Chenggui, was a military general. Under his integration, Goryeo's troops and horses had annihilated the invading Japanese pirates several times, and they were quite powerful. There were no less than 100,000 capable soldiers in Goryeo.
"Actually, I have been thinking about how to fight for a long time. Now that there are no outsiders, I will tell you. If there is anything wrong, you can correct me!"
Zhu Yunxi stood up, looked at the map in the tent and said, "When our army arrives in Liaodong, Goryeo will definitely know the news and then dispatch troops and horses!"
"With the temperament of the Korean people, they will definitely retreat at the Yalu River first. While preparing to meet the enemy, they will desperately apologize to the old man and delay time!"
"There is no need to think about the thunderous momentum and a quick victory. I plan to send two cavalry units to circle back and distract their attention while the army slowly moves forward."
With that said, Zhu Yunxi drew out his sword, pointed at the map and said, "The army will advance to Anzhou, and then march directly to Pyongyang!"
Lan Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Goryeo will never allow Pyongyang to fall, and will definitely mobilize a large army to stop His Highness. By then, there will be no quick resolution. If the war drags on until autumn..."
"There is another way!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and pointed the sword in a different direction. "Shuzhou in Goryeo is the largest seaport in Goryeo. Gu has ordered Xin Guogong Tanghe to lead the Fujian Jing Navy and command the Shandong Wei
We have troops, horses, and three hundred warships to attack this place from the sea!"
"Ah?" Lan Yu was suddenly startled for a moment, then grinned, "Your Highness attracted the main force of Goryeo on the battlefield, and then stabbed them directly in the back. Once the army came ashore, the King of Goryeo would look like a naked girl. We think
....." After saying that, he hurriedly apologized and said, "Your Highness, don't blame me, I am used to being vulgar in the army..."
Zhu Yunxi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "The original capital of Goryeo was Kaijing, and now it has been moved to Hanyang. Humph, Li Chenggui changed its name to Seoul in order to take pictures of the emperor's horses. Seoul is easier to fight than Kaijing! As long as it's
If Lord Xin Guo can go ashore, no matter whether he can capture it or not, Korea will definitely return to the rescue."
As he spoke, the sword in Zhu Yunxi's hand changed direction again, "They will reveal their backs to us as soon as they move. There are also cavalry sent out by Gu as a diversion, which can chase their butts and bite them. By then, under the walls of Seoul, Gu will let Goryeo do this.
The whole family has turned into a handful of loess!"
Looking at the high-spirited Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu's heart was full of mixed emotions and he couldn't speak for a long time. He had been fighting for a lifetime, and the tactics Zhu Yunxi mentioned were obvious at a glance. But he didn't expect that a young man in his teens would
, to be able to come up with such a strategy.
Third Master, he is no longer the timid child hiding behind the crown prince. He has really grown up. Not only has he grown up, but his martial arts skills have surpassed those of his predecessors.
"Why don't you speak?" Zhu Yunxi asked when Lan Yu was speechless.
"I'm thinking that Your Highness has really become something!" Lan Yu grinned, her eyes sparkling, "When one day I go underground and meet the prince and brother-in-law, when they ask, I will tell you something!"
"I will tell them that the Ming Dynasty has a successor, and the Ming Dynasty has a sage king!"
At this point, he clenched his fists and said loudly, "Your Highness, give me a team of cavalry, and I will charge into the battle for Your Highness!"
"You are a handsome man. It is better to be alone than to charge into battle!" Zhu Yunxi sat down and smiled, "Besides, Holy Oracle, you are just a counselor."
Suddenly, Lan Yu's face was full of disappointment. However, after struggling on the line of life and death, Lan Yu was no longer as reckless and unruly as before, and became more and more calm.
"I know your heart, you and I are blood relatives. I have protected you over and over again. In addition to family ties, I also value your talents!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You are in good health, and you and I will be kings and ministers for a long time. The future is bright!"
Hearing this, Lan Yu's heart was filled with emotion.
At that moment, he laughed loudly and said, "Li Chenggui is also the King of Goryeo after all. In order to take pictures of the emperor's horses, the name of the capital was changed to Seoul. Why isn't he called Myungseong? How unambitious!"
"Mingcheng doesn't sound good either!" Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, "After we conquer Goryeo, we will change his name! Let's call it Bei'an, Chang'an in the north!"
