Zhu Biao stood up and said to Chang Yuchun: "The Northern Yuan Dynasty has involved too much of my Ming Dynasty's energy, and the Japanese in the coastal areas are becoming more and more rampant, and the surrounding small countries also have different ideas, these are all to be solved!" ”

Chang Yuchun didn't expect Zhu Biao to think so far-reachingly, he thought that Zhu Biao was just a teenager and wanted to become famous.

Zhu Biao's position is stable, and this battle can be fought steadily, but it is indeed time to wait, the situation of the Ming Dynasty is actually very bad, compared with the previous dynasties, just like the Han era, there was a big enemy in Northeast Asia? No, he has a long-term enemy in the north-western direction and in the steppe direction.

In the Tang era, Northeast Asia already had a complete and mature local government, and the force was not weaker than that of the steppe, and a stubble of local power sprung up in Northeast Asia, and the northwest and steppe directions were not much better than those faced by the Han, and the southwest had begun to appear as a great power.

The Han era did not have such a tricky multi-faceted competitor as the Tang era, and if the central power, which rose rapidly after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, had strong military force and quickly collapsed the surrounding local powers, without giving the other side the possibility of integration, the latter dynasty would have been much better, and the difficulty of the East Asian copy would have been higher than the previous revision.

And now the Ming Dynasty not only has to deal with enemies from all sides, but also to resist the pirates and pirates who come across the sea, and the domestic problems are equally serious, the uprising of the Ming Dynasty in history has not been broken, and there are all kinds of rebel armies every few years.

And unfortunately encountered the Xiaoice River period, he not only appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, freezing three feet is not a day of cold, in fact, frequent natural disasters began in the Yuan Dynasty, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty was the most serious time.

Under the situation of internal and external troubles, where does Zhu Biao have the heart to stalemate with Beiyuan for decades? What is the wrong thing to do with the manpower and material resources spent in the meantime?

Zhu Biao looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "Please ask Uncle Chang to help me with all my strength in this matter, and I must finish the battle!" ”

Chang Yuchun bowed and clenched his fists and said, "No!

The two had dinner together, and Chang Yuchun led people out to investigate, saying that he wanted to see the nearby terrain.

The next three days were calm, until one night, someone in Beiping City sent a messenger, saying that the central center of the Yuan court, Prime Minister Zuo, wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, and was willing to open the south gate at night and lead the army into the city, but he wanted a duke!

Zhu Biao naturally happily agreed, after the two sides reached an agreement, Zhu Biao asked people to send him out, and after he left, the joy on Zhu Biao's face converged: "Tomorrow night, send a hundred horsemen to light the fire according to the agreement, no matter whether the city gate is opened or not, go back to the camp directly." ”

Nanxiong Hou below stood up and said, "General, if this matter is true, it will be a good opportunity!" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Although the Northern Yuan is in decline, it has not yet reached the point of collapse, not to mention that even if they really open the southern city gate, the city is narrow, and the number of people on both sides is about the same, and we don't have much advantage in hand-to-hand combat. ”

Li Wenzhong also said: "What's more, there are many doubts about this matter, if they make pockets to lead us in, take advantage of the fact that we can't take care of each other when we enter the city, lead the iron cavalry to cut directly into the Chinese army, and cut off the connection with the army, then our army formation will be chaotic." ”

After discussing the military tent for a while, they all decided that this matter was just a temptation, and whether they were fooled or not, the other party had no loss.

Zhu Biao didn't care about this either, all his thoughts now were on Wang Baobao, Beiping City was not the focus of this battle, so he wouldn't waste his troops attacking a useless city.

The next night, the south gate of Beiping City was opened, but no one went inside.

In another three days, Zhu Biao received a letter from Nanjing, during which time he had written more than a dozen military intelligence reports and sent them to Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not give any instructions, as if everything was up to him.

When I opened the letter, the corners of Zhu Biao's mouth curled, the handwriting on it was my mother's, and told Zhu Biao to be careful in everything, not to be reckless and impulsive, and to ask Chang Yuchun and Liu Bowen for their opinions on everything, and if they both objected, they had to reconsider.

When the letter arrived, he said it again, although it was still Queen Ma's handwriting, but Zhu Biao seemed to see Lao Zhu talking with his hands behind his back, and read it twice before putting it away.

Zhu Biao exhaled, inexplicably feeling a little sour in his nose, more than ten years, he still left his father and mother for so long.

"General! General! The last general has detected Wang Baobao's movements! ”

Lan Yu dragged the guards into the military tent with an excited face, Zhu Biao was refreshed when he heard it, and waved his hand to let the guards go down: "Where is he, have you been discovered?" ”

Lan Yu bowed down and replied: "The last general wanted to go to the general to shoot a wild boar today, so he ran all the way south for nearly a hundred miles, and saw the smoke in a dense forest, the last general observed the smoke, and the last general was afraid of encountering the other party's scouts, so he didn't dare to go forward, and turned back all the way!" ”

A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face, the most unstable variable of the other party had been discovered, so that it could be arranged according to the plan.

He commanded Lan Yu: "If you win this battle, you should remember the first merit and invite King Kaiping, Cao Guogong, and Chengyi Bo to come over!" ”

Lan Yu was also excited, no one could stop luck when he came, the other party was extremely cautious, not to mention the remoteness of the dense forest, and the time for the other party to bury the pot and cook was different from the season in the army.

After a while, everyone arrived, Lan Yu pointed out Wang Baobao's location on the map, and Liu Bowen stroked his beard and thought about it.

Li Wenzhong opened his mouth and said: "It's better to take advantage of their unpreparedness and directly surround and set fire to the forest, they can only run around in a panic, and when the time comes, they will surround three and release one, and when they escape from the gap, they will ambush them with the general's three-stage attack and artillery!" ”

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said: "This side can destroy Wang Baobao, but the Beiping City side knows that the plan has leaked, and will abandon Beiping City again and flee back to the grassland, so that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been recovered, but the Northern Yuan still retains its strength." ”

Liu Bowen thought for a while and said: "Since Wang Baobao has arrived, then in a few days, the army in the north of Beiping City will lead us to a decisive battle, and then we will deliberately show weakness, so that we think that we can annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, and lead the three armies on the left and right to press." ”

"When the battle is in full swing, Wang Baobao will lead the iron cavalry to rush straight to the commander of the Chinese army, forcing us to wait for the rescue to come back, so that the army formation will be chaotic. They then cut the battlefield with cavalry, leaving our artillery with no room to play, and this should be their plan. ”

Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this, if the plan can be implemented perfectly, he can indeed be defeated, Wang Baobao is the general of the unified army, and the cavalry he personally led is the elite of the elite, caught off guard, and even has the opportunity to break through the camp of the Chinese army and behead Zhu Biao! ”
