Lu Xuan did not care about the eyes of everyone around him, but waved. The guards beside him immediately stepped forward and spread a huge map on the table.

"This is a topographic map of the Liaodong area. From the map, we can see that if Jiannu wanted to launch a large-scale attack, there would be four roads in total. The other lands were not unable to go, but they were not very friendly to their cavalry. Tieling Guards and Fushun Guards should be their first targets to attack."

"How can I tell?" Someone seemed to be embarrassed by Lu Xuan and came out to criticize him.

"Because they did not have enough food. There was only one possibility for Jiannu to attack at this time. That was that they did not have enough food. In the war last year, they could not grab much food. For the group of savages who could not farm, they could not survive this winter. The Ming Dynasty blocked a large number of trade routes, which made their food even more lacking. Therefore, the biggest purpose of their uprising this time was to plunder. They needed food and grass to survive this winter."

"General Lu means that they will choose nearby?"

"I will definitely try it. After all, compared to expeditions, those who are close to you can always save food and grass."

At this time, the Tartars should not have the ambition to sweep the world. In other words, they will not show it for the time being. They need to pass this winter first. The winter in Liaodong will be dead.

Tieling Guards and Fushun Guards faced the front line of the Tartars. In the last battle, Nurhaci defeated Fushun first and then continued to fight with the Ming army. Unfortunately, the things from Fushun City were not transported back in the end, which made the Tartars not able to take much advantage in that battle. This time, if Daishan could not get enough food for his own people, his throne might not be able to sit steadily.

"Hmph, General Lu said it simply. What if the Tartars gave up Fushun and Tieling and went straight to Shenyang Guard?"

"What if I don't do it, as I mean. Fushun City has not been rebuilt yet. It's better to give up and move the residents back to Shenyang so that the army can let go of war. Shenyang has tens of thousands of troops, the city wall is strong and the food is sufficient, so it is not so easy to be broken."

"It's nonsense and retreat before the battle. I think you are simply passively avoiding the war."

"So? We have to rush into the ravine in Sarhu as we last time, and fight to the death with a group of savages coming out of the ravine? Shrink the front line and let them come out. Can't we fight well in places we are familiar with?"

In the Battle of Sarhu, choosing to fight with the Tartars in the valley was a huge complaint in later generations. If the battlefield could be controlled in a flatter area, the Ming army would not have been bombarded with the Tartars as a slag. However, the Ming army liked to go to the mountains to fight with the other party...

In Lu Xuan's opinion, this war had a great advantage. That is, the Tartars were under pressure to attack. They needed to plunder enough food to survive the winter. According to Lu Xuan's idea, they would take away the food from the ground first and strengthen the walls and clear the fields. If they did not give them plunder the surrounding space, they would have to come out of the mountains, and then arrange hundreds of cannons to help them develop their talent for singing and dancing.

But judging from Li Rubai's meaning, the Ming army still had to take the initiative to attack. One hundred thousand and sixty thousand, according to the standards of the Battle of Sarhu, I was afraid that it would be cut into vegetables and melons.

While a group of people were arguing, Ding Baiying suddenly broke in, ignored everyone's angry gaze, and directly handed Lu Xuan a note.

"I understand, let's make arrangements for me."

Half a day later, the army set out.
