With Ma Xiuying, my brother's backyard will be peaceful no matter what in the future, and there won't be any messy troubles.
Zhu Han said proudly in his heart: I was the one who gave the name of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, and I asked him to marry his wife. In the future, who will be better than me in the future?
After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, Zhu Han immediately informed Guo Zixing and expressed that there was no problem with the marriage.
When Guo Zixing found out, he was immediately very happy.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang and his five powerful commanders took charge of Haozhou City, Guo Zixing gradually felt that Sun Deya and the four others began to alienate him.
This made Guo Zixing feel very uneasy.
I want to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's support and support myself in case of any changes in the future.
In this case, letting the adopted daughter Ma Xiuying marry Zhu Yuanzhang is the best way.
She is an adopted daughter who is well-educated, diligent and sensible. She is a good wife and mother at first glance. More importantly, she is kind-hearted and knows how to repay kindness. Guo Zixing has been so kind to her over the years, and I believe she will remember it.
With kindness.
However, before Guo Zixing had time to clarify the matter with his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying, he had to put it aside for the time being.
Because of the report of the cavalry sent out by Zhu Yuanzhang, Daruhuachi Timur's Mongolian cavalry had already approached Haozhou!
A big battle to defend Haozhou is about to begin, and everything must be done behind the scenes.
Haozhou City, inside the Marshal's Mansion.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and other five great generals gathered to discuss strategies to defend against the enemy.
"We originally thought that the Tartars only had five thousand cavalry, but Tan Ma said that the Tartars were far more than this number. There must be at least tens of thousands of people."
As the marshal of the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to speak.
"What, tens of thousands of people?"
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were shocked when they heard this.
The Mongolian and Yuan Tartar cavalry are fierce, and if there are five or six thousand men, they can still be more relaxed with their numerical advantage.
However, now it has doubled and is almost as strong as the Haozhou Rebel Army. This makes them a little scared.
"If this is the case, then our original strategy cannot be used!" Guo Zixing said with a frown.
They originally wanted to pretend to hold on to the city wall, and then suddenly rush out of the city and take advantage of their numerical advantage to catch the Mongolian Tartars by surprise.
However, now that both sides have the same number of people, if we continue to do this, we will be destined to die.
After all, the combat effectiveness of most soldiers of the rebel army is much worse than that of the battle-hardened Tartar army. There is no numerical advantage, and it is difficult to win if they fight head-on.
"Deputy Commander Guo is right, we think so too." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.
"What is Marshal Du planning to do?" Sun Deya asked quickly.
The quality of the soldiers in their hands is not good, and if they get into a bitter battle with the Mongols, they will easily collapse and fail.
"We have already thought about it. These Timurs have strong soldiers and horses. Knowing that Haozhou city has been destroyed, they must want to come and take Haozhou back as soon as possible. Then we will catch him by surprise." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others looked at each other, not knowing what they meant.
"Marshal Du, how can you surprise him?" Guo Zixing asked.
"Timur is arrogant and arrogant. He will definitely think that our rebel army must rely on the city to hold on, but we are not like this. We lead our army to ambush in advance on the sandy plains in the northwest. We first sent troops to engage in the battle to fake defeat and lure the enemy to pursue.
When they enter the sandy plain, the ambush troops on both sides will rush out, and give him a head-to-tail attack, and they will definitely win!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he spread out a map on the table and drew out his plans.
When Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others heard this, they were all shocked.
Shayuan is more than thirty miles away from Haozhou City. If you march, it will be almost a day's journey. If the war goes against you at such a long distance, it is absolutely impossible to run back to Haozhou City to hold on. The Mongolian cavalry is not
Vegetarian.
Zhu Yuanzhang's plan seems feasible.
The sandy plain is covered with grass and rivers. Once the pursuers enter, they will be easily attacked by ambushes from both sides.
However, if Timur was not fooled, wouldn't it mean that he would really fall into a hard battle, and the false defeat would turn into a real defeat?
Therefore, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others all opposed it.
"Marshal Du, this is really too risky. It's better to hold on in Haozhou City."
"Yes, if the Mongols are not fooled, we will be defeated with our troops!"
"There is enough food in the city to last for two or three months. If we cannot leave the city, the Tartars will not be able to do anything to us!"
Hearing their words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt disdainful.
Zhu Han had told himself all these possible explanations in advance, and now it sounded like he was right in all of them.
When Zhu Han saw this, he knew it was his turn to persuade them.
"Marshals, there is no way out for this matter. Marshal Du's strategy is already the best plan. Many of our soldiers have their families and houses outside the city. When the Mongols arrive, they will definitely burn, kill and loot. By then, the morale of the military will be high."
How can we maintain morale if we don’t move?”
"We have no external reinforcements. Even if we want to hold on to Haozhou, we will only waste time waiting to die. The Mongols can only provide more and more external reinforcements. Moreover, if the rain surges, Mongolia may have to divert water to Haozhou City.
, then how can you hold on?"
"Here in Huaixi, we are the leading rebels of the Red Turban Army. Timur is eager to march, so he will definitely be fooled. There is no possibility of failure!"
"To set up an ambush and defeat the enemy in Shayuan is to defend the enemy from outside the country. It will definitely make our Haozhou Red Turban Army famous!"
"After defeating Daruka Timur's Tartar soldiers and horses, the remaining Tartar soldiers and horses will definitely be extremely fearful and will not dare to attack again. This is called hitting with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches!"
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were convinced by Zhu Han's words.
If they try to shirk it again, they will appear to be extremely cowardly, even worse than Zhu Han, a twelve-year-old boy.
In the end, everyone agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's plan to ambush him out of the city.
After Guo Zixing and Sun Deya left, Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Han on the shoulder very happily.
"Brother, what you said is so good that you can punch away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. The more we listen to it, the more clever we become!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in admiration.
Under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Haozhou rebels were quickly prepared to fight the enemy.
They left a thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Haozhou, and the rest of the soldiers and horses left the city to ambush in Shayuan.
Zhu Yuanzhang's headquarters of three thousand soldiers and horses served as an ambush and were hidden in the reed shoals on both sides of the official road in Shayuan.
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were used as bait, arrogantly waiting in formation in front.
As soon as Daruhuachi Timur's army attacks, Guo Zixing and others will fake defeat and run away as soon as they engage the enemy. After introducing the Tartar army into the sandy plain, Zhu Yuanzhang will ambush and attack, and Guo Zixing and others will turn around and fight back, annihilating Da Da.
