Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 284 If you hit me, I will steal your home! (Please subscribe!!)

Faced with Tang He's inquiry, the messenger was stunned, and then he said bravely: "As for the Duke of Huiguo, the court only asked Xiao to summon him. As for whether this battle can be won, Xiao really doesn't know."

Ouyang Lun smiled and said: "My father-in-law, he is just a messenger. If you ask him this question, how can he answer you?"

Tang He suddenly said: "I am also anxious."

"Xian son-in-law, tell me, with this wave of support from the court, can we win?"

"My father-in-law, you are the expert when it comes to fighting. Why are you still asking me?" Ouyang Lun asked with a smile.

Tang He pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is nothing wrong with His Majesty's arrangement. Fu Youde's left army supports Shanxi and recaptures Huyu Pass. Lan Yu's right army supports Shanhaiguan and prevents Beiyuan's third army from entering the pass. As long as these two goals are achieved, not only will the crisis in Shanxi and Shanhaiguan be solved, but the retreat of Wang Baobao's army will also be taken away. Then the Peiping army, Xu Da's supporting army, Fu Youde's army, Lan Yu's army and Feng Sheng's army can surround them. Beat up Wang Baobao!"

"But the premise is that we can defend Beiping City. Once Beiping falls, all this will be meaningless!"

"But now there are only 10,000 people in Beiping City. Fortunately, Xu Da sent 50,000 people to support. But if we 60,000 people want to stop Wang Baobao's 350,000 people, the difficulty is no less difficult than the battle of Hongdu."

Tang He had just finished speaking.

"Report!"

"The 50,000 reinforcements sent by Wei Guogong were blocked by an army sent by Wang Baobao and could not reach Peiping."

Forehead.

After hearing the news, Tang He and Ouyang Lun looked at each other, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Ahem, there are only 10,000 people now. The difficulty is worse than the Battle of Hongdu. Moreover, Wang Baobao is much stronger than Chen Youliang. We have no chance of winning!"

"Ruined."

Tang He said in despair.

"Master-in-law, don't be anxious now."

"This battle is indeed a headwind for us. It will definitely be difficult to win, but it is not impossible to win."

Ouyang Lun's voice sounded slowly.

After Tang He heard this, his already desperate expression improved instantly, and he looked at Ouyang Lun eagerly, "Xian son-in-law, have you already thought of a way?"

"That's natural."

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Master Yue-in, please come with me."

With that said, Ouyang Lun turned around and left the meeting hall, and Tang He immediately followed him without saying a word.

Ouyang Lun took Tang He to the basement under the "castle".

Soon I came to an extremely spacious stone room, in which was placed a sand table map of the entire Ming Dynasty and the surrounding areas. The rivers, mountains, and towns on it were clearly marked!

The viewing position is slightly higher than the sand table map. Standing on the viewing platform and looking down, it feels like overlooking the entire Ming Dynasty.

The first time he saw the sand table map, Tang He was shocked and speechless.

"Xian son-in-law, did you do this?"

"If Xu Da saw this sand table map, he would probably go crazy!"

Ouyang Lun spread his hands, "Besides me being so bored, I believe there will be no one else. It's mainly because it's more intuitive. In order to make this large sand table map more accurate, I have sent many people over the years." Go to various places for on-the-spot investigation, and finally reflect the information truthfully on this sand table map.”

After speaking, Ouyang Lun picked up a long pole and started marking on the sand table map.

"It can be seen from Beiyuan's dispatch of half a million troops this time that Beiyuan is very determined this time, and the purpose is to capture Beiping!"

Ouyang Lun pointed the long pole in his hand and pointed it at Beiping City on the sand table map.

"Because they know that this attack is likely to be their last chance, and they will definitely go all out!"

"The imperial court sent three armies to support them. There is no problem with the strategic layout. They are a threat to the Beiyuan army. However, it is extremely difficult for the Ming army to win this battle!"

"The most dangerous thing now is Beiping City."

Tang He said with a smile: "I was also worried just now, but didn't the messenger just say that the imperial court has sent three armies to help, leaving aside Lan Yu and Fu Youde, Song Guogong Feng Sheng led an army of 200,000 Heading directly towards Beiping, there are cement roads and highways now, and reinforcements will arrive in half a month at most!"

"Even if we only have 10,000 soldiers, we can mobilize the entire city and the red cannons, and we can hold on for half a month! Once the reinforcements arrive, the situation will be reversed immediately!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun slowly shook his head.

"Xian son-in-law, what do you mean by shaking your head? Do you think we can't even hold on for half a month?" Tang He asked quickly.

"I, Ouyang Lun, will defend the city, let alone half a month. Even if I defend the city for one month or three months, there will be no problem. However," Ouyang Lun paused, pointing the long pole in his hand at the flags of the three troops who came to support, " Father-in-law, do you think these three imperial reinforcements will really arrive as scheduled?"

"Forehead"

Hearing this, Tang He was stunned. After thinking about it in his mind, he said uncertainly: "Although you have always been difficult to deal with the Huaixi Party and Xian Xian, this battle is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty. Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, Fu Youde and the others don’t dare to think wrongly!”

"If Beiping falls because they fail to send reinforcements in time, Your Majesty will never let them go. They know this very well!"

Ouyang Lun nodded, "My father-in-law is right, they do not dare to delay deliberately, but what if something unexpected happens? For example, they are blocked by the Beiyuan army, or roads and bridges collapse, etc. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, if you want to be unable to They will have many ways to reach Beiping City in time. After all, the army is in their hands, and my emperor's father-in-law still needs them to defeat Bei Yuan. At least before defeating Bei Yuan, they will not have anything happen to them, but our It’s dangerous.”

"So you must not place your hopes on others, and these people are not worthy of trust!"

Hearing this, Tang He's expression changed, "Xian son-in-law, when I hear what you say, I feel like I'm in my heart. Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, and Fu Youde are all veterans. If they want to delay, there are many ways to make it impossible for His Majesty to blame them."

"No, I have to write a secret letter to His Majesty immediately, asking him to keep an eye on Feng Sheng and the others."

"My father-in-law, you have said that Feng Sheng and Lan Yu have many ways to delay. Even if you write to my emperor father-in-law, in the end water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves."

Seeing Ouyang Lun's calm expression, Tang He suddenly thought of something and looked at Ouyang Lun expectantly, "Xianxiang, tell me honestly, have you already figured out how to win?"

Ouyang Lun raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "It is true that this time the Beiyuan army was unprecedentedly defeated, and it invested more than 500,000 troops regardless of the cost. The purpose was to capture Beiping. Now Wang Baobao commanded the Beiyuan army to break through Huyu Pass and take the lead. Breaking the game and occupying the first-mover advantage, but at the same time, this is also an opportunity for us!”

Hearing the word "opportunity", Tang He frowned tightly, "Xian son-in-law, I only see the danger from the current situation, and I don't see the so-called opportunity. Where does the opportunity come from?"

"Zhang Yue, I knew you would ask this." Ouyang Lun waved the long pole in his hand. The direction pointed by the long pole moved rapidly from Peiping to the north, crossed the Great Wall, and finally landed on the Beiyuan Wangting on the grassland. Where it is!

When Tang He saw where Ouyang Lun was pointing, he was stunned and looked at Ouyang Lun in disbelief, "Xianxiang, what do you mean?" "My father-in-law is indeed a veteran. He should have guessed what I was thinking." ." Ouyang Lun smiled and continued: "Half a million troops from the Northern Yuan Dynasty were dispatched. This is already most of the soldiers and horses that the Northern Yuan Royal Court can mobilize. Now that these soldiers and horses have appeared inside and outside the Great Wall, then I am very worried. I would like to ask, how is the defense of the Beiyuan Royal Court?"

"Nature is weak and empty!" Tang He said firmly.

"That's right. Since the Northern Yuan Dynasty retreated to the grassland, it seems that it is still lingering, but in fact it has perished. Both large and small tribes on the grassland have a skeptical attitude towards being accepted by the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Naturally No tribe is following them wholeheartedly.”

"Wang Baobao attacked our city of Beiping. Why don't our troops attack the Beiyuan Royal Court? Once the Beiyuan Royal Court is captured, it means the complete destruction of the Beiyuan Dynasty. Wang Baobao's capture of Beiping will also be meaningless."

"This is what you call yours, and I'll hit mine. If you hit me, I'll steal your home!"

After Ouyang Lun finished speaking, Tang He understood instantly and his eyes brightened instantly.

Stealing a home!

This method is good!

Tang He nodded, "Xian son-in-law, you still have a way. My eyes have been fixed on the Great Wall and Peking City, and I never thought of going so far away."

"Listening to what you said, there is no doubt that the Beiyuan Royal Court is now the only gate of Beiyuan!"

"As long as we can have an army deep into the grassland, the plan to attack the Beiyuan Royal Court can easily be realized, and Wang Baobao would never have imagined that we would send troops and horses to steal the house!"

"Why didn't I think of such a good idea?"

After saying that, Tang He burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Yue, my method is still theoretical. Whether it can be successful depends on the distance and action. It is not just based on the heat of the head."

Tang He nodded repeatedly, "Xianxiang, you are right, then let's discuss the specific arrangements now."

"Where did this army of soldiers and horses that went deep into the grassland and attacked the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty come from? How many people should be sent? Where will they leave?"

Hearing Tang He's inquiry, Ouyang Lun thought for a while and said: "Since it is a thief, the number of people should not be too large, but each one must be the best of the best, and all of them must be one man and two horses, with good riding skills." You must be proficient, and the only ones who can meet these requirements are Xu Da Yuezhang’s Northern Expeditionary Army.”

"Just ask Xu Da's father-in-law for 10,000 people."

Tang He nodded first, and then said doubtfully: "Ten thousand people and twenty thousand horses, this movement is very big!"

"If we bump into the tribes on the grassland head-on, we will be easily discovered."

Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "This problem is easy to solve, as long as we deal with all the tribes we encounter!"

"In addition, the sneak attack troops can also put on the costumes of prairie people and pretend to be herding tribes."

After hearing Ouyang Lun's thoughts, Tang He was stunned.

Be nice!

This kid is really full of bad stuff!

If he really followed this kid's method, it would really be possible to reach the Beiyuan Royal Court without anyone noticing.

"This is a good idea! You are too insidious. It seems that I can't offend you in the future, otherwise you will definitely kill me!"

"Let me do such a difficult thing reluctantly!"

After saying that, Tang He was already eager to take action.

Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes at Tang He.

You just take the method I came up with and use it? !

Forget it, who calls this guy his father-in-law?

"My father-in-law, I thought I would dispatch a thousand cavalry from the Chita tribe to join the surprise attack. They are more familiar with the grassland. With them leading the way, the chance of success will be much higher."

"As for weapons, I will arm you to the teeth this time!"

"But when you get to the grassland, you will be alone. You may be discovered by the enemy at any time. Faced with the enemy's pursuit, you will need to solve any difficulties yourself."

"Father-in-law, can you do it? If not, just say it and I won't laugh at you. I'll arrange for others at the same time."

"Fart, you can't do that!" Tang He shouted, "It's most appropriate for me to go and attack the Beiyuan Palace this time!"

Ouyang Lun covered his ears and said helplessly: "Zhang Yue, I'm not deaf. You don't need to be so loud. My ears are almost deafened by you!"

"Since you, father-in-law, have decided to go, then go!"

"My son-in-law will be waiting for your return in victory in Beiping City."

"Haha! Just watch my good son-in-law!" Tang He happily patted Ouyang Lun on the shoulder, "But if I leave, the city of Beiping will be even more dangerous. You must hold on!"

"Yeah." Ouyang Lun nodded.

The two discussed a countermeasure, and Tang He soon left with a team of personal guards, and also brought with him nine thousand sets of new armors and weapons. Since the distance between Peiping and the Great Wall had been cut off by Wang Baobao's army, Tang He chose to take the long route. Yuguan.

First go to the Chita tribe to get a thousand invincible cavalry, and then take a detour to Xifengkou to find Xu Da for the remaining nine thousand people!

Finally, he gathered together ten thousand invincible cavalry and headed into the depths of the grassland to look for the Royal Court of Beiyuan.

Beiyuan also started to attack.

A 50,000-strong army composed of Taining and Fuyu tribes plundered Shanxi, and the Ming army retreated steadily.

The 50,000-strong army of the Duoyan tribe faced off against the 50,000-strong army sent by Xu Da to support them.

Chen Bing, the 100,000-strong army of Beiyuan's Third Route, was outside the Great Wall. They constantly chose weakly defended areas of the Great Wall to attack, leaving Xu Da to defend in sections. Fortunately, the Great Wall was easy to switch and could keep up with the pace of Beiyuan's army. When the Third Army had an opportunity, Xu Da wanted to lead his troops in a duel with the Beiyuan Third Army, and the Beiyuan Third Army would run away again, which left Xu Da with no way to start and no way to escape.

Wang Baobao commanded an army of 300,000 and came straight to Peiping.
