Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 162 Li Wenzhong's Wisdom
The defeated Ming army retreated to the main camp. After the military doctor diagnosed Chang Yuchun, he frowned: "The marshal's body... must start to rest immediately, and he cannot go to the battlefield again!"

The generals were shocked: "I was just hit by an enemy general. It was just a minor injury. How could it be so serious?"

The military doctor's face was purple: "It's not an injury on the battlefield, but... oh..."

Chang Yuchun had ordered that military doctors were strictly prohibited from revealing his physical condition to anyone, so so far, no one knew that he was terminally ill.

"Military doctor! What is it? You are talking!" Hu Dahai asked eagerly.

"Exactly! Tell me! If you don't speak again, I will kill you!" Lan Yu burst into anger.

Chang Yuchun coughed twice: "Sapphire! Don't be rude!"

Seeing Chang Yuchun's words, all the generals hurriedly surrounded him.

Chang Yuchun sighed: "Everyone has seen my physical condition. This time, I'm afraid I will have to rest for a few days. When I rest, who has the confidence to take the position of commander-in-chief of the entire army for me?"

At that time, Mao Sui recommended himself to be a pioneer under Zhu Yuanzhang's tent, and Chang Yuchun later became famous all over the world.So now, he very much hopes that among the generals, someone can volunteer to take over the banner of the whole army like he did back then.

Everyone focused their attention on Lan Yu. He is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law. He has many years of experience in fighting. He cooperates with the courageous Chang Yuchun and is deeply trusted and appreciated by Chang Yuchun.

Even Chang Yuchun was staring at Lan Yu with burning eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lan Yu shook her head with a firm expression: "Marshal. I will assist you to stabilize the rear and believe that you are right, but let me command the entire army. I am afraid that I do not have the courage and ability."

Chang Yuchun coughed twice: "Very good. Lan Yu, you are very self-aware, and you will definitely become a world-famous generalissimo in the future!"

The generals looked at each other, confused by the conversation between the brother-in-law and brother-in-law in front of them.

They are relatives, but they are so obvious that they are business-like, which makes it hard to pick out the thorns.

Chang Yuchun's eyes swept over the generals one after another. It had to be said that as generals, these people were all very perfect people.However, as a commander-in-chief, no one has the courage and meticulousness to move forward bravely and strategize.

Just when he was depressed, a loud voice sounded outside the door: "I'm coming!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a strong and handsome young general striding in from the door. His armor was stained with black and red blood.

"Li Wenzhong?" Chang Yuchun's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Li Wenzhong who was walking to the bed and said, "The lives of all the soldiers in the army are in your hands."

Li Wenzhong patted Chang Yuchun on the shoulder: "Marshal, don't worry."

The generals looked at me and I looked at you, and finally couldn't help but began to discuss in a low voice.

"Li Wenzhong? Is he okay?"

"I see Xuan. Marshal Chang has been fighting for so many years, but he can't handle Jiang Wenqing. Li Wenzhong doesn't even have hair, so how could he beat Jiang Wenqing?"

"Well, he is definitely not Jiang Wenqing's opponent. But in the entire army, he is the only one who is most suitable to be the marshal. After all, he is the emperor's nephew."

"Yes. Let's make preparations and try to minimize the losses."

"You're right. I'll write to the emperor right now and ask him to send other marshals quickly."

Although everyone's discussion was not loud, every single word fell into the ears of Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong clearly.

Chang Yuchun took a deep breath, looked at Li Wenzhong firmly and said, "I believe in you."

Li Wenzhong nodded, got up and ordered: "Generals, the change of our army's commander must be kept secret! Secondly, I will go out for a few days and ask all generals to obey Lan Yu's order. We can definitely defeat Jiang Wenqing , Take Jinzhou City!"

The generals left under orders, only Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and Lan Yu were left in the room.

Lan Yu stared at the blood on Li Wenzhong's body suspiciously: "General, what's going on with you? Why is it so much later than when the big troops came back?"

Li Wenzhong: "I was sure that Jiang Wenqing would not give up, so he led his troops to ambush on both sides of the retreating road. Sure enough, when the troops of the Jinzhou Yuan Army came to pursue them, they launched an ambush, killing hundreds of people and capturing dozens. A prisoner."

Lan Yu's eyes widened, as if she was shocked by the result of Li Wenzhong's unauthorized actions.

On the other hand, Chang Yuchun had a smile on his lips and a calm expression, as if this was expected.

Li Wenzhong continued: "Among these prisoners, there are still a few who are not afraid of death. They committed suicide before I started interrogating them."

Lan Yu was speechless: "What did you use to question them?"

"Horse whip."

"It's very common to use a whip. It seems that the Jinzhou Yuan Army does have more backbone."

Li Wenzhong laughed and said: "Who said that using a riding crop must be to whip them? I used the hand-held pole of the riding whip to relieve their bowels."

With a look of disgust on her face, Lan Yu pinched her nose and pointed at the blood on Li Wenzhong's body: "The blood on your body is..."

Li Wenzhong smiled: "Don't worry about those details. I still interrogated some very important information. This Jiang Wenqing is not a powerful general. He just carefully studied Marshal Chang's combat methods and asked Wang Baobao to make a special plan. A defensive method to defend against Marshal Chang's attack. To put it simply, Jiang Wenqing's defensive method is specifically designed to restrain Marshal Chang."

Lan Yu took a breath: "That's it."

Li Wenzhong: "After asking for the information, I didn't keep my mouth alive. On the west side of Jinzhou, there is a red birch forest, which is the most suitable place to ambush the army. Jiang Wenqing is now aware of this potential threat. People are stationed in the red birch forest, and on the endless grassland, there will be no visual busyness. It will be difficult for us to attack him."

Sapphire nodded: "Then I will immediately lead people to seize the red birch forest!"

Li Wenzhong shook his head: "I'll go. You have followed Marshal Chang for many years and are well aware of his combat methods and habits. The final battle is scheduled for three days later, and the army will be led by you, using Marshal Chang's style of attack to violently attack the Jinzhou Yuan army. The camp on the east side, when their defensive formation is formed, I will lead people to protrude from the west side and hit him at the dead point, Jinzhou can be broken."

Sapphire's eyes sparkled: "Okay!"

Soldiers are very fast.

After handing over Lan Yu, Li Wenzhong immediately took three thousand cavalry and ran towards the red birch forest.

At this moment, Jiang Wenqing's general, Harchi, led ten thousand cavalry, and drove towards the red birch forest at the same time.

From the map, the straight-line distance from the starting point to the red birch forest is the same.

However, on the route of Harchi, there is a flat grassland.

On Li Wenzhong's route, there is a huge lake.

To bypass this huge lake, no matter what, it is impossible for Li Wenzhong to reach the red birch forest before Harchi.

Once the Jinzhou Yuan Army takes the lead in occupying the woods, with only three thousand cavalry, the Ming Army will not be able to capture this last ambush site no matter what.
