Chapter 423: Tiger's head and snake's tail
"Your Majesty, Lin Danhan sent people to deliver a large number of cattle and sheep, and many stallions."
In the emperor's tent, a general walked into the tent excitedly, covering reports with excitement.
“Is the counting quantity?”
The emperor seemed to be unsurprising, staring at the map and asked casually.
"I've counted it. There are 20,000 cattle and sheep, and 2,000 stallions!"
"The order to encircle the ministries, open up the passages, and allow Mongolia to retreat."
"I ordered all troops to retreat and not stop them. All troops must be vigilant and be careful of Mongolia's raids."
As for this, the emperor did not say anything more, waved his hand and signaled his general to retreat.
The emperor stood alone in front of the map, but couldn't help but shook his head and sigh.
This time, the main force of Mongolia was released. Next time, it would be difficult to find such a good fighter!
Looking at the past and present, all dynasties and times, when they were strong, the most difficult thing was never how to defeat the grassland tribe.
But how to find the main force of Mongolia and entangle the main force of Mongolia and prevent it from escaping!
When the horse stepped on the grassland, it was because it formed an alliance with Lin Dankhan and a large number of local snake tribes in the south of the desert. It was a pioneer, so it was naturally unfavorable.
Nowadays, Mongolia takes the initiative to knock on the edge, so naturally it is the main force and is firmly controlled by itself.
However, now that Mongolia is almost unified, Lin Danhan retreats to the grassland. It is difficult to find the main force of Mongolia and completely annihilate such a vast grassland.
Emperor Yongle fought against the grassland for five times, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of civilians each time, but he still returned in vain several times!
It can be seen that the difficulty of leveling the grassland is.
Especially Lin Danhan was defeated by his hands several times, and he was even more afraid of him. No matter how to lure the enemy or show weakness, it would probably not have any effect.
This time, I was unable to kill the tiger and was forced to let the tiger return to the mountain. Next time, if I had the ability, I would beat the tiger again...
The emperor shook his head and sighed helplessly, but he couldn't help but remember that the Empress Dowager was not so stupid. Give him some time to accumulate national strength, so he wouldn't be so urgent or helpless now!
War, war...
He had a huge war machine, and lacked the resources to drive this war machine...
"call……"
Li Xiu let out a long breath, as if he was about to exude depression in his heart. He looked around at the busy staff of the military in the tent, and then stepped out of the tent.
The gate of the military camp was opened, and horses, cattle and sheep were in groups. Under the hustle and supervision of the soldiers, they rushed into the side village of the Central Army that had already been vacated.
"Send people to transport these cattle and sheep back to the capital and hand them over to the Ministry of Revenue, and all the stallions are sent to the Nanhaizi Horse Farm."
With a casual command, Li Xiuzhi's eyes also placed on the vast Mongolian army.
At this moment, the towering turtle shell camps were all open, and the cavalry battalions rushed out like a tide, but this time, the troops were not from north to south, but from south to north.
Started from Monan, he was defeated by the Later Jin Dynasty and rushed to Mobei. He then took advantage of the Ming army's momentum to sweep the grasslands and started the road to unify the grasslands.
With ambitions reaching the peak, I went south to knock on the edge, but at this moment, I had to retreat with a grievance.
Lin Danhan rode his horse back and took a last look at the towering Datong City. Then, his eyes passed by Datong City and frozen on the Great Heng Emperor's Chronicle.
He knew that the words "retreat and going south" were probably unquestionable delusions for Talin Dankhan and Mongolia.
"Get away."
Looking around at the heavily guarded Daheng tribes, Lin Danhan's eyes flashed, and the last trace of luck disappeared.
He rode his horse, from south to north, as if he never returned.
"call……"
At this moment, watching the retreating Mongolian army, Li Xiu seemed to have taken off a thousand pounds of weight and let out a long breath. He slowly looked up and looked at the slowly rising sun. The endless worries hidden in his heart were also dissipated at this moment.
This disaster of establishing a country finally survived the most critical level!
"Immediately send a quick horse to Yanghe and tell Zhou Yuji Huang that he would not allow Dai Shan's main force to withdraw one soldier and one soldier at all costs!"
"I will be the Scouts Camp to stare at the Mongolian army. I will always know their movements."
"Sorry the General of Datong to rectify the city defense and beware of Mongolia killing and retaliating."
"Let the Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, and stationed in Datong, and temporarily be under the command of the General of Datong."
"The rest of the tribes will retreat to the pass and set off for Yanghe early tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Li Xiu turned his head and looked at the military officers standing beside him.
After a moment of silence, he finally slowly said: "The General Staff Information starts from the grassland."
After saying that, Li Xiu ignored the ecstatic expressions of the military officers' staff, turned around and moved slowly into the emperor's tent.
No matter how this General Staff will look like in the future, at least, in his hands, he has already performed well in this war.
Instead of handing over strategic planning to the Ministry of War or even civil officials in the cabinet to discuss, Li Xiu prefers to be dedicated to specializing in his work.
The General Staff Office's military officers are all middle and upper-level generals in each department. The lowest military position is the general, and he is also the generals he carefully selected.
Only generals born in the army understand the affairs of the army best and know the many hidden rules and tricks in the army best. In this way, there will be no situation of talking about war on paper.
And intelligence...
Although the intelligence of the Jinyiwei is good, the nature of the Jinyiwei is first of all the emperor's personal army, and then it is an intelligence spy organization.
The war is destined to be very long, and it will also make the army have too many connections with the emperor's personal army of the Jinyiwei.
A personal army of the emperor is closely connected with the troops from all over the country.
This...is obviously not a good thing.
The division of external intelligence from the Jinyiwei will only be a good thing for the Jinyiwei.
Otherwise, the charge of colluding with foreign generals, peeping into the inner palace, and conspiring with the emperor could fall on the heads of the Jinyiwei and the General Staff anytime and anywhere.
It is best to be careful of many things before they happen.
As all kinds of thoughts flowed, Li Xiuzhi's eyes followed the military public image.
Yanghe, Gubeikou, Liaohe, Liaodong...
All regions, battlefields, and cross thousands of miles!
Here we ended up with the beginning and the end of the game, the real harvest is everywhere!
From Datong, the troops surrounded Yanghe and destroyed the main force of Daishan tribe. If Dorgon supports it, he would surround the points and fight the support and do his best in one battle. If Dorgon does not support it, he would divide the troops into two groups after he killed Daishan tribe.
We left Xifengkou, detoured by Liaohe, and attacked from Shanhaiguan!
"One month..."
The emperor murmured softly, his eyes circulating in Liaodong and North Korea, and a thought also emerged from his mind.
The time for maintaining military logistics calculated by the Ministry of Revenue is based on the mobilization of millions of people.
However, when Mongolia retreated, it was obvious that there were no need to encircle and annihilate the Later Jin Dynasty and mobilize soldiers and generals.
If hundreds of thousands of battalions mobilized from all over the country can withdraw their garrisons, the money and food saved seem to be enough to supply longer.
This thought flashed through my mind, and finally, Li Xiu shook his head.
It would be fine if the troops stationed in various places were not used from beginning to end.
Since it has been used, there is no such thing as a tough battle. When fighting a bloody battle, people will take their lives and people will take their lives. When it comes to robbing merit, people will take them away.
If this is the case, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will be unstable.
Even if Li Xiu has prestige in the army, he cannot consume it for no reason.
"Transfer an order and immediately send someone to Liaodong to tell the Shanhai Supervisor Zhao Wu, and tell him that he must prepare the food and wages required by the 300,000 army for three months!"
"Send people back to Beijing and tell the Ministry of Revenue that the recruited civilians can be dismissed one after another, keep the Thirteenth, and provide the Battle of Yanghe."
When the order was issued, Li Xiu looked indifferent. Daheng had only a small amount of money and food, and needed to stay to stabilize the country's destiny, and even use it for rewards and subsequent planning after the war.
Then take it from the enemy and use it on the enemy!
