Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 630 I predicted your prediction
Zhang Wuji had not yet spoken, but Zhang Dingbian said: "The saint is too worried. Since ancient times, marching and fighting have not been based on the number of soldiers and horses. There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, such as time, location, and people. . Even the weather and morale are decisive factors. Although the Mongolian army is larger than ours, the soldiers are more expensive than the elite. And we have His Majesty personally supervising the formation, and the morale of our army has been greatly boosted. The opponent is just a group of troops without fighting. The heart is broken. If our army attacks, it will be like driving tigers and wolves into the flock of sheep."

Zhao Min stepped forward at this time and said: "Having said that, we cannot take it lightly. According to the reports from our spies, my father has taken out all his family wealth this time. The most elite 'Xiaoguo Camp' who followed my father before 'Among them, even though the masters of the royal palace, including Xuan Ming and Elder Xuan Ming, died in the hands of sister Huo Jia. But apart from that, there are other masters in the Ruyang palace. These people are all masters who can compare with one to ten. "

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min's worried look and smiled: "Minmin, you seem to have forgotten one thing. This time we are just a bait. We are just here to attract the prince's attention. The goal of this operation is to recapture the Central Plains. Calculating the time, the armies of Marshal Liu and Commander Liu are about to arrive in Nanyang. There must be no problem in Guanzhong. As long as we hold back the prince's main force here, his army will definitely be shaken. Otherwise, he will soon be They will be surrounded by Marshal Liu’s army.”

Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji and said, "I'm just telling everyone not to take it lightly. But if we defeat the main force of the Yuan army here, the pressure on Liu Futong and Li Siqi will also be reduced a lot. Although the Yuan Dynasty is already declining, but There are still millions of strong soldiers. My father brought 60 million soldiers during this southern expedition. The remaining troops are all stationed in the Central Plains. The West Route Army and the Middle Route Army actually do not have much advantage at all."

Zhang Dingbian also said at this time: "What the Imperial Concubine said is true. If we completely defeat the main force of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty here, then we don't need to encircle, we can also advance in three directions. Besides, we don't have a lot of food, grass and wages. If we can't If we capture Suzhou City as soon as possible and find the one million taels of silver that Empress Su talks about to use as military supplies, we may be the ones in danger."

Zhang Dingbian looked at Su Mengqing. After bowing, he asked: "Your Majesty, I am still very doubtful. Does the one million taels of silver that your Majesty talks about really exist? Wouldn't it be poached by Zhang Shicheng?"

Su Mengqing said confidently: "Don't worry, General Zhang. I can vouch for this with my head. Even if Zhang Shicheng digs three feet into the ground of Suzhou City, he won't be able to get the money."

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay, let's proceed as planned for the time being. If possible, I still want to join Liu Shuai's army and encircle the prince's army. After all, I don't want to completely break up with the son-in-law. If the prince knows the current affairs, If some people join forces with me, the position of Great Khan may fall on him in the future. It's a pity that my father-in-law has a dull head and can't figure it out."

At this time, Zhao Min raised her hand and hit Zhang Wuji hard on the head. She said: "You are the one with a big head! Your whole family is all with a big head! Humph!"

Zhang Wuji touched his head and said, "I know, why don't you just forget that I made a mistake? Don't be angry, my beloved concubine. Don't be angry."

Zhang Dingbian felt very embarrassed when he saw the scene in front of him, and then the two of them turned and left.

King Ruyang and Zhang Shicheng, who were camping on the bank, were also on the sentry tower of the camp, looking at the big ship on the river.

King Ruyang sighed: "What a big warship. If our Yuan Dynasty still has such a warship, why worry about not being able to cross the natural chasm of the Yangtze River!"

Zhang Shicheng echoed: "These are all left by Chen Youliang. Originally, Chen Youliang was full of confidence and wanted to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River with 60 land and sea troops and dominate the world. Unfortunately, in the end, he made Zhang Wuji a wedding dress." King Ruyang looked at Zhang Shicheng, who was beside him, asked: "I wonder what His Highness the King of Zhou knows about King Ming's military situation. Now that our armies have been united, and our Majesty has agreed to grant all the land in Huainan to His Highness the King of Zhou, and even His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is authorized to vassal Huaiyang only as a vassal without paying tribute. Then His Highness the King of Zhou should also show some sincerity in cooperating with us."

Zhang Shicheng smiled at this time and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your Majesty is also a person who has been in the Central Plains for a long time. He has also heard of the old saying in the Central Plains that 'he who knows the current affairs is a hero'." Now I, Zhang Shicheng, have been forced by Zhang Wuji's son. We are desperate, otherwise, we would not have joined Yuan Ting and gained the notoriety of being a 'traitor'."

"Now that I have become a 'traitor' in the eyes of the world, I have no way of turning back. Why can't I fully cooperate with the prince?"

"As for Zhang Wuji's current military strength, I have informed the prince before. He has at least 80 troops and horses under his command, and he also has a complete naval fleet left by Chen Youliang. It is the one on the river in front of you. But it looks like , Zhang Wuji seems to have only brought out his navy to fight with us. This is something worthy of vigilance."

King Ruyang asked: "What are you wary of?"

Zhang Shicheng replied: "Be wary of this guy who wants to attack the east and the west. Now he has personally led an army and has lowered his warships on the river. He has not yet started a battle with us. It seems that he is deliberately attracting our attention. All my king's territories are in There’s nothing to worry about here.”

"But does the prince need to worry about the Central Plains? I'm afraid that this guy wants to use the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west. He will hold us here, and then send others to lead the infantry to attack the Central Plains. After all, he has someone who knows how to fight Yuan soldiers. Liu Futong is here."

King Ruyang sneered when he heard this and said: "Huh! Your Highness, King Zhou, is too worried. Don't think that this kid can use tricks. I have also laid out a pocket formation waiting for him. I have already sent my son to Nanyang Pass and other places. We are stationed here to wait for work. If Jingzhou soldiers go north to attack the Central Plains, they will fall into the ambush circle set by him. "

Zhang Shicheng asked at this time: "Oh? So does the King of Henan have so many troops? Zhang Wuji just led the navy. His infantry has at least 60. Even if the troops are divided, Liu Futong can get at least 30 to . .Can the King of Henan really resist it?"

Because Wang Baobao had made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of Polo Timur, the crown prince, after reporting to Emperor Yuan Shun, decreed that Wang Baobao be the Prime Minister of the Left of Shaanzhou Province, the title of county king, and the title "King of Henan".Therefore, Zhang Shicheng did not call Wang Baobao the crown prince, but called him "King of Henan".

King Ruyang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, there is no need to worry about this. Zhang Wuji is still a little young. Don't think that he is the only one who can play the strategy of attacking the west. Tell the truth to His Highness the King of Zhou. At the moment, I have only more than troops under my command. , the remaining more than people, I have already ordered my son to be deployed on the Nanyang front line to hide. In fact, the camp at the rear of our army is empty, but I have people lighting bonfires every day, and I have become a suspicious soldier. That’s all.”
