After giving the order, Zhu Biao glanced at the eager Huang Bin and said, "Yichun Hou desperately sent the news that it was hard, go down and rest." ”

When they all went down, Chang Yuchun said: "The situation is unclear now, and we should brake quietly." ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "The general trend is on me, even if you lose Beiping, if you besiege them without attacking, you can trap them." ”

Zhu Biao has a steady supply, but the other party has it, which is why the Northern Yuan Dynasty gave up Beiping in the first place, losing the grain and grass supply of the Central Plains, and Beiping is just a lonely city.

Zhu Biao is not thinking about the gains and losses of one city and one place now, but what is the purpose of the Northern Yuan?

Liu Bowen said: "It seems that their purpose is us, as long as they can defeat us, with the current situation of the imperial court, it is impossible to gather 300,000 troops for the Northern Expedition at least within five years!" ”

Chang Yuchun nodded: "If you can capture His Royal Highness the Prince............"

Zhu Biao touched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, thinking in his heart what to do, if it was a stalemate, even if he could achieve the final victory, it would only kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred!

The supply and demand of more than 200,000 troops is terrifying, not only the Ming Dynasty has to empty the treasury, but also needs to requisition a large number of people in order to transport grain and grass, then this year's spring ploughing will be delayed again, and the people will not be able to survive, and the peasant uprising in the Central Plains will start again.

Zhu Biao pinched his eyebrows a little irritably, if he was just a general, he naturally didn't have to think about it so much, just concentrate on winning the battle, but he was still the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to think about whether his people could survive or not.

Do you want to give up the Northern Expedition, wait for a few years of accumulated grain and grass to recover Yanyun, and even completely eliminate the Northern Yuan in one go?

The most painful thing is that you obviously have the strength to beat him, but people are not ready to fight you, so they will consume you.

Now that the information is insufficient, Quan Xu has sent people to collect it, and the big tent is still set up, Zhu Biao called Zhu Di too, and a group of people have made various plans according to the existing information.

Zhu Biao didn't fall asleep much this night, he was really like a cat scratching in his heart, making people toss and turn.

The next morning, the army moved to a high ground that was easy to defend, and set up all kinds of trenches, trips, and so on.

Finally, in the afternoon, Lan Yu Muying led a group of people back to the camp.

A man in iron armor stepped out of the crowd and knelt at Zhu Biao's feet: "The last general is incompetent, he lost Beiping, he deserves death, please deal with it general!" ”

Zhu Biao personally helped him up and said: "This matter is not a crime of war, what is the crime of Song Guogong desperately resisting, Yang Jing treason and defection to the enemy is the one who should be punished by the nine clans!" ”

Of course, Song Guogong is guilty, but the current situation is to unite all forces, Zhu Biao has now disposed of Feng Sheng, and the soldiers under his command are naturally sad to die and the generals are disposed of in battle, which is a big taboo!

Song Guogong clenched his fists and said: "After the last general accepted the general's military order, he led his troops to withdraw from Beiping, fortunately, there are two generals Lan Yu Muying rushing to help, and there are still 50,000 people left under my command." ”

Zhu Biao spit out, which was much better than expected, so that his army of 300,000 was still about 200,000. ”

When the party came, the information was much more accurate, and with Song Guogong's narration, Zhu Biao also determined that the real target of Beiyuan was him.

The reason why Song Guogong still had so many men and horses left was because at least 80,000 iron horsemen on the other side did not participate in the attack, but were waiting in the woods outside the city.

If Zhu Biao led the exhausted army to rush to the rescue, and was stabbed in the butt by the iron horse, the already panicked army would be defeated immediately, even if the strength was superior, it would not be able to stop the fear in his heart.

The current situation has fallen into embarrassment, if Zhu Biao attacks Beiping, it will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, and if the siege is not attacked, it will cost the people and money......

Zhu Biao ordered the whole army to be under martial law, and Song Guogong's subordinates and soldiers who were not on duty immediately returned to the camp to sleep, recuperate their spirits, and rode lightly to monitor the movements of the Northern Yuan army.

In the next two days, Zhu Biao cultivated his spirit on the spot, and the troops in Beiping City also stuck to the city, and both sides only sent scouts to inspect.

On the third day, Zhu Biao ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and camp 20 miles away from Beiping City.

The other party sent thousands of light horsemen to harass them, but it was just a small fight, and the two sides gave up after chasing each other.

It took another day to set up camp, different from the original perfunctory, Chang Yuchun personally arranged the camp, which could be attacked and defended, and there were various traps, and the artillery was also erected.

On the second day of camping, two envoys came to Beiping City, and Zhu Biao met them at the Chinese army camp.

Zhu Biao sat on the top in gold armor, and Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and others stood below, and the two people outside walked into the big tent after being checked.

After the two of them came in, they glanced at Zhu Biao, then bowed down and stroked their chests and shouted, "I've seen Prince Nanming."

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to stop the generals from drawing their swords, two nobodies, there is no need to do meaningless things.

Zhu Biao looked at the person on the left with interest and asked, "Are you Han?" ”

The man stepped forward and nodded, "In Xia Liu An, the ancestor of the family was in the temple when Emperor Shizu was there. ”

Zhu Biao asked with a smile, "What do you two have to say here?" ”

Liu An bowed down and said: "Please ask Prince Nanming to retire, and from then on, the two families will be reconciled, and they will be fine!" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "I waved my army on an expedition, and finally got here, and returned to Daming without an inch of merit, wouldn't I be ridiculed, or I would like to invite the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to return with me, so that the palace must also have an explanation." ”

Liu An's face remained unchanged and said, "Your Highness is laughing, but what can you do even if you don't retreat?" The capital is impregnable, you don't stand a chance! ”

Zhu Biao leaned back in his chair and replied: "How did you get in, how did you plan to get in this palace, you have a secret hand, don't we have it?" ”

Zhu Biao's face turned cold after speaking: "Throw it out!" ”

Before he could speak, Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong pinched his neck and carried him out.

After they left, everyone had some doubts in their hearts, what was this trying to do, it would only be a lose-lose situation, and the final victory must belong to Daming.

Zhu Biao got up and walked to the map of Yanyun's sixteen states and said: "They are cowering in Dadu, we have no choice, but they don't have many troops in other places!" ”

Li Wenzhong took a step forward and said, "General, the purpose of the enemy army has not yet been clarified, is it a bit risky to divide the troops?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head: "There are so many soldiers and horses in the Northern Yuan, what else can they do." ”

"Song Guogong, in addition to your 50,000 horses, I will add 30,000 more to you, and I want you to sweep the sixteen states of Yanyun as quickly as possible!"

After watching Song Guogong take the order and leave, Zhu Di asked, "General, do you believe him?" ”

Zhu Biao said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe him, you need someone to do this, Song Guogong is the most familiar with this place, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate." ”
