Early the next morning, the army set out of camp, and the duties of many generals in the army were once again dispatched.

Li Wenzhong's power swelled suddenly, and most of the power of the three armies on the front left and right came down to his hands.

Zhu Biao's Chinese army is led by Mu Ying, and the rear army is Zhu Biao's own land, no matter who wants to meddle in logistics.

Along the way, Chang Yuchun rarely went out of the right army's big tent except to meet Zhu Biao, after all, Li Wenzhong's prestige was still a little insufficient.

After walking for more than half a month, they finally approached Youzhou, and the army officially stepped into the land of Yanyun.

At the same time, Zhu Biao also received news from the imperial court that Tanghe, the king of Changsha, was deprived of his title for forming a party for personal gain and perverting the law, and was driven to Tongzhou to deal with the Japanese invaders.

The political situation in the DPRK and China is a little chaotic, Zhu Biao and Xu Da have taken away most of the nobles, and the rest are Li Shanchang's civilian clique, they are just meat on the board for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao was not worried about the situation in the court, and it was easy for the founding Taizu to fiddle with his subordinates, but he always felt that this road was a little too peaceful, and Wang Baobao of Shanxi did not send light cavalry to harass him.

Zhu Biao commanded Quan Xu, who was riding a horse to escort the guards: "You go and let Lan Yu lead a thousand horsemen to Beiping, and let Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, come to see me!" ”

Zhu Biao frowned, he had already arrived here, even if Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, did not come in person, he should send a deputy general to respond.

And there is no news from Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, Zhu Biao has already sent him

Zhu Biao felt very dangerous since he stepped into Yanyun, and after thinking about it, he wanted to order: "The whole army stops, let the generals above the third rank go to the camp of the Chinese army." ”

With the waving of the Chinese army's order flag, the entire army slowly stopped.

The generals and commanders in the army began to assemble towards the Chinese army, and they all arrived after a while, a group of people gathered in an open space, and Zhu Biao led Liu Jin over.

So the generals are all dignified, they are all veterans of the battlefield, and they have already found that something is wrong.

Chang Yuchun opened his mouth and said: "Feng Sheng is calm and serious, there is no reason not to send someone to meet the army, I'm afraid something happened in Beiping!" ”

Li Wenzhong said: "After the fiasco of the Yuan Court, it would be good to be able to gather 100,000 soldiers and horses now, and it would be too whimsical to want to recover Beiping without 200,000 people,"

Liu Jin spread out the Yanyun map on the ground, and Mu Ying said, "What if all the other forces in the land of Yanyun abandon their garrisons and come to besiege Beiping City?" ”

Chang Yuchun thought for a moment and said: "That is the puppet emperor of the Yuan Court or his crown prince, otherwise no one can gather these divided generals."

Liu Bowen on the side said: "They know the intentions of our Northern Expedition, if we don't gather troops, we can only be defeated by each of us, and between life and death, we can naturally make a trade-off." ”

Liu Bowen paused for a moment and then said: "If they can escape our eyes, it means that they should gather elites to sneak into the grassland at night, and then gather under a person with high prestige. ”

Mu Ying was still a little puzzled: "Even if it is besieged by 200,000 troops, it will not let Song Guogong not send any news at all, how strong Beiping is, as long as you stick to the city, you can completely stand up to our army to help." ”

Zhu Biao said calmly: "The inside should be combined with the outside, if you open a city gate while it is unprepared, you can indeed take Beiping directly." ”

Zhu Biao can actually be sure that anyone who storms Beiping City will not want to enter without taking out 100,000 lives. Then it can only be that there are ghosts in the city, and that's right, after all, they have withdrawn, how can they not leave a secret hand.

Zhao Yong, Marquis of Nanxiong, said coldly: "After taking Beiping, you should slaughter the city for three days, those families have served in the Northern Yuan court for almost generations, so it may be with us." ”

Zhu Biao sighed, let alone the north, even many families in the south still think that the Northern Yuan is orthodox, because they actually have no national concept.

The concept of nationality that was well known to later generations was gradually known to the Chinese only after 1900. During the "War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression", the Chinese nation began to become the collective name of all ethnic groups in China.

The word "nation" has only 120 years of history in our country. Before that, we used the term "Han Chinese" to refer to our nation. But in ancient China, we mainly relied on "culture" rather than "blood" to evaluate whether the ancients were our own.

The phenomenon of "four kinds of people" in the early Mongol Empire and the early Yuan Dynasty was accepted and recognized by most families in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, because of the implementation of the "Sinicization policy", such as the imperial examination, the entry of large-scale Han officials, and the economic policy of the Yuan Dynasty was relatively modest.

The Ming Dynasty started as the Red Turban Army, a group of chaotic people, in the eyes of the southern family, they are not on the stage, and they still refuse to let their children go out in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, although Confucianism has the so-called Huayi distinction, its priority is far lower than that of the monarch and the minister, that is, the first thing that Confucian children should do is to be loyal to the monarch.

This trend was actually evident in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when it was very common for the chiefs of the northern ethnic minorities to use Han ministers for social governance, and the Han ministers were also loyal to the minority monarchs.

To put it bluntly, the so-called Huayi distinction has never been the mainstream in Chinese history. As far as the situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty is concerned, the Yuan Dynasty was an orthodox dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a chaotic minister and thief, under the influence of the idea of "loyal to the monarch", the scholars of the Yuan Dynasty naturally had to be loyal to the orthodox court, and against Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a chaotic minister and thief, this is understandable.

This is true even in the south where the Ming Dynasty actually ruled, let alone the land of Yanyun, which has been lost for hundreds of years.

Zhu Biao must have opened his mouth and ordered: "Since the situation is unclear, the army will shrink immediately, so all the scouts will be sent out, and Zhao Yong, you will lead people out to find a suitable place for defense." ”

At this moment, Lan Yu led a few men covered in blood to run over, and when they saw Zhu Biao, they knelt down and shouted: "Your Highness, the last general Huang Bin, the last general of Song Guogong sent the last general to ask for help, the night before yesterday, Yang Jing, the Marquis of Yingyang, rebelled, and teamed up with the Beiping family to open the city gate privately, leading the 200,000 troops of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty into the city, and now Beiping has lost half of it, Song Guogong is desperately resisting, please Your Highness quickly help!" ”

At this moment, all the generals frowned, and Zhu Biao frowned, constantly thinking in his heart.

Can this Huang Bin be trusted? I'm afraid it's too late for the army to leave for Beiping, do you want to go? In case Beiping was just a decoy, their real intention might be his army of 200,000.

Chang Yuchun and Liu Bowen glanced at each other, and they knew in their hearts that they must not rush to the aid of Beiping with a large army, and the army is tired of working hard, so they still have the ability to fight hard with the same 200,000 army.

If Zhu Biao made the wrong decision, the two of them would dissuade him, but they believed that Zhu Biao would figure it out.

Zhu Biao let out a breath of turbidity: "It is impossible for the army to rush to the aid of Beiping, Lan Yu Muying, the two of you will lead 50,000 cavalry to meet Song Guogong and let him give up Beiping to preserve his strength!" ”
