Chapter 90 The Chinese Army as Bait
Liu Bowen saw Zhu Biao nodded and continued: "It is not difficult to defeat them, we have discovered their surprise soldiers, but it is still difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Only with the Chinese army as a bait, when Wang Baobao made a surprise attack, he could ensure the stability of the three armies in front, left and right, and let the three armies continue to move forward to wipe out more than 100,000 people of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Kill his retreat, and finally the whole army will be surrounded, so that the world can be settled in one battle! "
After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he stopped talking. The plan was very simple, but there were only two people who had the prestige to keep the Chinese army's morale calm when they were attacked, and they could continue to fight forward, Chang Yuchun or Zhu Biao.
Chang Yuchun is a real prestige, Chang's name of 100,000 is enough to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhu Biao is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and his status is distinguished. Wherever he is, he is the Chinese army.
As for Li Wenzhong, the generals knew his ability, but the soldiers below did not know that Li Wenzhong's prestige was not enough to stabilize the morale of the army.
Not to mention the rest. But here comes the problem. If the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty wants to make Zhu Biao's three armies overwhelm him, he must show his weakness, so beating him is actually the least pressure, but the Chinese army is different. No matter who faces Wang Baobao directly, he will not better off.
It stands to reason that it is most appropriate for Zhu Biao to hide in the former army, but when Wang Baobao saw that the commander of the Chinese army was not Zhu Biao, he would understand that the plan had been leaked, and naturally he would give up the prince of Beiyuan without hesitation and flee. Back to the grassland, with his reputation and strength, no matter who he supports, he will not lose.
All the generals naturally understand this truth, but in case the Chinese army loses and Zhu Biao is killed, what is the use of them winning, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let them go, and there is no other choice but to rebel.
Everyone has achieved success and fame, and they followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way here. No one is stupid enough to think that they can overthrow the old Zhu who has been firmly seated in the Central Plains.
Chang Yuchun said: "Why don't you find someone who is about the same shape as His Highness, and if someone covers it, who can recognize it?"
Li Wenzhong also nodded and said: "That's right, when the time comes, people will wear golden armor and ride a horse to stand under the commander-in-chief banner! The matter of commanding the Chinese army will be left to Quan Xu and Marquis Runan."
Everyone nodded in praise, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "If you want to attract people to the bait, half of the Chinese army must be on top of them. That is to say, the Chinese army can only leave 50,000 people to face Wang Baobao's 70,000 people head-on." Eighty thousand cavalry."
Chang Yuchun said: "It is enough for each army to deploy some elites to the central army. Even if the sacrifice is a little bit more, as long as the mission can be completed, there will be no loss."
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea while sitting on the chair, and let out a mouthful of hot air: "Quan Xu's 30,000 pro-army is enough elite, but it is difficult for them to withstand the charge of the iron cavalry and ensure that they will not be defeated. Only the Chinese army can stabilize the morale of the army, I can hide it from Wang Baobao, but I can’t hide it from the soldiers of the Chinese army, even the commander has escaped, so they don’t have any fighting spirit.”
They still wanted to continue to persuade, Zhu Biao waved his hand: "If the Chinese army is defeated, then we will go back to Beiyuan's plan. When Wang Baobao defeated the Chinese army, he should directly backstab the former army. Doesn't this mean that the defeat is over?"
"I didn't come here to gain military merits for nothing. As a commander, you should do what a commander should do. You don't need to persuade me any more. If you want to help me, then quickly click on the people of Prince Beiyuan!"
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone had their own worries. If someone else was the coach, they would naturally not worry about it.
But Zhu Biao had made up his mind, so they could only bow down and promise. Zhu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief, although neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Chang Yuchun told him.
But he also guessed that in Chang Yuchun's hands, there must be a will written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. At critical moments, with the will and Chang Yuchun's personal prestige, he could directly seize Zhu Biao's military power.
This is also the purpose of Chang Yuchun's trip. While protecting Zhu Biao, if Zhu Biao insists on going his own way and wants to bury himself, Chang Yuchun can only do this, even if it hurts Prince Zhu Biao's prestige I will definitely bring Zhu Biao back to Nanjing safely.
It would be too bad to die here. Liu Jin knelt down beside his bed with a worried face and said, "Master, why don't you think about it again! How can you do such a dangerous thing with a body of ten thousand gold, sir... ..."
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "When the time comes, go to the army and stay there, and take a good look at your chickens."
Liu Jin burst into tears: "I will not look at the chicken, my servant will follow you, how can I block you, sir... even if this servant is shot to death, I will never fall down, I will definitely block the arrow for you arrow!"
Zhu Biao was in a somewhat depressed mood, but he became much more relaxed: "Your small body can stop me from doing anything, well, don't cause trouble for your master, just go to the rear army honestly."
Liu Jin just choked up and didn't reply. It seemed that he didn't plan to go to the army after death. Zhu Biao smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and then said: "Go and call the fourth child."
Liu Jin wiped her face and left as promised.
Zhu Biao thought it better to be on the safe side, if both he and Zhu Di died here, it would be a big trouble, and it would be safest to throw him beside Chang Yuchun.
After a while, Zhu Di walked over quickly: "Brother, what's the matter, I'm practicing firecrackers, when Wang Baobao comes, let him have a good meal."
Zhu Biao looked at his younger brother who had already shown his heroic qualities and said, "Go to the former army and follow Chang Shuai."
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, he is also a prince, so he naturally understood some things: "Brother, I want to be with you."
Zhu Biao lay on his back and raised his legs and said: "You are not young anymore, you two brothers must leave one for the father, go to the former army, remember to follow Chang Shuai!"
Zhu Di opened his mouth to say something but didn't dare, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I'm here, you naturally have no chance, but if something happens to me, you have to shoulder the responsibility of Daming."
Zhu Di knelt down and said: "I don't obey the second brother and the third brother, but I obey the elder brother. I can swear to heaven, my younger brother never has such thoughts!"
Zhu Biao sat up and squinted his eyes to look at Zhu Di in front of him, and finally said with a smile: "Of course I believe in you, fourth brother, you will never let me down!"
Zhu Di is already a little confused, is he really placing his hopes on me, or is he beating me?
After Zhu Di nodded obediently, he went out.
Zhu Biao looked at his back, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He really wanted to take care of Zhu Di, but the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, as if his things were about to be taken away.
Zhu Biao shook his head. Power, indeed, is like a devil. Once you have tasted its sweetness, you will never let it go.
