Chapter 131 Lin Che’s suggestion for the Northern Expedition: Either don’t fight, or change the commander! After listening to Lin Che's analysis.

Not only the Zhu brothers had an epiphany, but even Lan Yu, who was kneeling straight on the ground, couldn't help but nod frequently.

Although Nair Buhua is not a famous general, he is quite famous in Beiyuan.

That's all you need, no skills required.

If you win, fight, if you don't win, run away.

Even if you lose a few times, as long as you are not completely wiped out, you still have the capital to make a comeback.

After all, this is on the grassland, on other people's territory.

As Lin Che said, the mentality of the enemy and our generals were completely different.

The Beiyuan side could completely avoid the main force of the Ming Dynasty and escape to the depths of the grassland, even to the deserted Mobei thousands of miles away.

When the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops, they will still be the masters of the grassland, recharging their energy and accumulating strength to fight again in the future.

The Ming Dynasty can only be considered a great victory if it completely annihilates the opponent's main force.

As the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, once entering the grassland, in addition to having to fight the main force of Beiyuan, he also has to worry about the problem of food and baggage at all times. Looking forward and backward, it is inevitable that he will not be able to fully control the overall battle situation.

In the light case, the enemy lost his chance of fighting; in the serious case, he fought a decisive battle with the main force of Beiyuan and returned home defeated.

No wonder General Xu Da was worried about this Northern Expedition. As the coach of the Ming Dynasty, this battle was burdened with the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and no one could let go.

Thinking of this.

Zhu Biao sighed with a heavy heart, stood up and saluted:

"Thank you, sir, for your accurate prediction of our Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition!"

"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank you for your teaching!"

"That's... Sir, I was asked about the difficulties I faced during the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition. Is there any solution?"

"Once Daming enters a state of consumption with Bei Yuan on the grassland as Mr. said, it will be extremely detrimental to Daming!"

"In this way, Ming Dynasty will not only waste its people and money, but also the national strength will not be able to support it!"

"If it really comes to the situation that Mr. Wang said, the two sides have been facing off on the grassland for several months, the people and horses are exhausted, and the supply of food and grass is a big problem. By then, the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops will be in extreme panic."

"Thousands of miles of supply lines have also become Beiyuan's best target."

"There is still a stalemate. Once winter enters, ordinary people will also have to stock up on food to prepare for shortages. How much food and grass will be prepared for hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Finally, there is no need to fight this battle, the army will collapse!"

Based on Lin Che's analysis, Zhu Biao revealed the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

Of the four seasons of the year, only autumn is the most suitable for a decisive battle with Beiyuan. Now it is about to enter autumn, and the main force of the Ming Dynasty is still in the capital, which is still thousands of kilometers away from the main battlefield of Beiyuan grassland.

Even if we set off non-stop now, it will take more than a month.

It was already late autumn by then, and it would probably take at least more than a month to find the main force of Beiyuan on the grassland.

It's winter soon, when the north wind is strong and there's heavy snow.

For the soldiers in the south, the cold was a huge test.

It may even happen that Beiyuan's main force has not been found yet, and its own losses have reached [-]%.

Greatly affects the status and morale of soldiers.

Once Bei Yuan is held back again, the consequences will be extremely serious.

"There is a way, but there is no way..."

Lin Che said something ambiguous, leaving the Zhu brothers confused.

Zhu Biao thought for a while, but still didn't understand the meaning of Lin Che's words.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Now is the time when the life and death of the Ming Dynasty is decided. Please sir, please make it clear?"

Zhu Xi scratched his ears and cheeks and shouted anxiously:

"Sir, is this true or not?"

"You can give me a pleasant word! Don't embarrass our brothers..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhu Biaohe: "How presumptuous!"

"Second brother, what do you say to your husband?"

"We just scolded General Lan, but we didn't scold you. Isn't that uncomfortable? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Lin quickly?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiang shrank his neck, feeling that his eldest brother's temper had been getting worse recently!

This was how I talked to Mr. Lin in prison. Mr. Lin didn't say anything, but the eldest brother was unhappy.

I have no choice but to apologize obediently: "sorry!"

See you!

Lin Che shook her head and laughed, sighing: "You reckless boy, finally someone can take care of you!"

"Well, in prison, we gave you classes for almost a month. Your level has improved a bit, and your temper has also improved!"

"Grumpy temper and lots of nonsense!"

"I know why your father put you in jail to reflect, it makes sense!"

"However, I think your punishment is still too light!"

After hearing this, Zhu Xi didn't think anything?Anyway, he was ridiculed by Lin Che not once or twice.

It’s just that Prince Zhu Biao apologized repeatedly after hearing this, very much like a parent who apologizes on behalf of a student when his student is criticized by the teacher.

"What Mr. said is very true!"

"Second brother's bad talk has no clue!"

"To be honest, our parents are worried to death just because of this!"

"I've been worried that this bad mouth will cause trouble!"

"Look, Mr. Jean has taken the trouble!"

Lin Che was drinking tea, instead of embarrassing the other party, she directly answered Zhu Biao's question.

"My suggestion is, either don't play, or change the coach!"

"General Xu Da is very familiar with attacking cities, large-scale sieges and annihilation battles, but encounters and pursuit and annihilation battles on the grasslands are not suitable for a conservative general like Xu Da. He often loses opportunities due to being too cautious. "

"In grassland encounters, they often collapse at the first touch, and all that's left is pursuit and annihilation. When needed at this time, generals who risk their lives and survive will survive."

"Like Huo Qubing during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he led [-] light cavalry for thousands of miles to attack the royal court of the Xiongnu!"

"This kind of general is most suitable for the Northern Expedition!"

Hear this.

Zhu Biao took a breath. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked by Lin Che's boldness.

The Northern Expedition is the policy that Ming Dynasty has set, and it will not change, and my father will not agree to it.

However, the selection of Xu Da as the coach of the Northern Expedition was also carefully considered.

Moreover, changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists.

Besides, even if Xu Da is replaced, who in the entire Ming Dynasty is the most suitable coach for the Northern Expedition!

This is a difficult choice.

If you don't make a good choice and get a "Zhao Kuo" who is an armchair strategist, he will need the bones of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to be buried with him!

Seeing the thoughts on Zhu Biao's face, Lin Che smiled calmly: "Why are you nervous? Such a big decision-making power lies in the hands of the emperor. Even your noble father cannot be the master of this decision."

"What's more, hasn't the Northern Expedition still not started? It's not too late to change the commander."

"We really can't change it until the army goes out for battle!"

"Haha, I just want to say that it is almost impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to replace the Northern Expedition coach Xu Da. Xu Da was the commander of almost all major battles in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of his military prestige, no one can surpass him... "

Speaking of this, Lin Che pointed at Lan Yu who was kneeling aside and said with a smile: "For someone like him, who has been in the military, when he hears us say that General Xu is not suitable to be the head coach, he feels like his father is dead."

"If General Xu is asked to hand over his military power now, then the important generals in the military camp will not be able to rebel on the spot!"
