After the prince's party came to the stage, Hama became a hot figure in the court again, and used the power of the crown prince to fight against Ruzhongbai.

In order to stabilize his position, Hama made his sister-in-law Vullu Timur more and more tempted to Emperor Zheng to indulge in "some Lang Wushou" again.

There were constant partisan disputes in the Yuan court, and Emperor Zhizheng let go of the government to Tokhtoku and the crown prince, and he became more and more absurd and unbridled, ignoring the slightest affairs of the court.

After offending Queen Qi's mother and son, the whole person was no longer as arrogant and uninhibited as before, and his work became calm, and he devoted himself to the affairs of the northern tuntian.

Zhang Shicheng is also very smart, taking advantage of the fact that no one takes him seriously, he recruits talents on a large scale, hoards grain, and once occupies a strategic place, following Fang Guozhen's example to block the food supply to Dadu in the Jiangnan region.

The troops of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were all placed on besieging the Red Turban Army in the south, and the troops of Henan and Jiangbei provinces were all on besieging the Red Turban Army in the north.

The more the Yuan court left Zhang Shicheng alone, the more ambitious Zhang Shicheng became, and under the secret encouragement of Shen Fu and Wen Xuan, Zhang Shicheng finally began to take the initiative to expand his territory and attack the nearby areas.

More than half a year passed in a flash, and although the Red Turban Army of the north and south was always suppressed by the Yuan soldiers, they all resisted extremely tenaciously, which made the Yuan soldiers helpless for a while.

This situation gave Zhang Shicheng an opportunity to invade the surrounding state capitals and at the same time began to loot the grain of the Yuan court, which made the Yuan court officials in the nearby areas miserable, and constantly wrote to the court for help.

Totokh had heard of this Zhang Shicheng for a long time, but according to his original plan, he wanted to concentrate his forces to eliminate the Tianwan regime first, and then let the elite soldiers such as Badulu and Dong Shuxiao turn around and suppress Zhang Shicheng, but he didn't expect that the Tianwan Red Turban Army was very tenacious under the command of Ni Wenjun, and it dragged on this war for so long.

Tokh first ordered Huainan Province Pingzhang political affairs Gou Er to lead the army to attack Gaoyou, but unfortunately Gou Er was defeated and returned, the Privy Council Shi Pu made meritorious contributions, and asked for orders to attack Gaoyou again, but after going into battle in person, he was stabbed by Mu Chong's gun and fell off the horse, and the Yuan soldiers were defeated again.

Seeing that the time had come, Su Sheng took the opportunity to make a statement to Hama, saying that the time had come to overthrow the party.

Hama was overjoyed when he heard this, listened to Su Sheng's strategy, and secretly played Zhang Shicheng's plot against the emperor to Emperor Zhizheng, and asked the emperor to order Pai Totoku to go out in person to wipe out this gang of thieves.

Emperor Zhizheng was obsessed with the "acting method" all day long, and he actually didn't know anything about Zhang Shicheng's rebellion in advance, and was greatly surprised after hearing about it from Hama's mouth, and hurriedly wrote an edict in his own handwriting, ordering Totoku to immediately pacify this gang of rebels.

The edict of Emperor Zhizheng is quite earnest, which says: "I and the prime minister are also in charge of the world, and today there are many reasons, I will worry about them, let each other work, and it is natural that you will go." ”

After getting rid of the emperor's edict, he didn't dare to shirk half a point, and he also needed a feat like pacifying Xuzhou to re-establish enough prestige in the court, so he decided to go on another expedition, wanting to quell the rebellion in various places in one fell swoop.

With the previous experience of pacifying Xuzhou, this time the detachment was completely prepared, the prime minister who was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses did not hesitate to make a big move, dispatched the princes' personal guards, the garrisons of the wings of the provinces, and most of the troops in the Western Regions were transferred, a total of more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, known as a million heroic divisions to the outside world.

Before leaving the division, he entrusted the government to his younger brother Timur, and appointed Ruzhong Bai as the secretary to serve the imperial history to assist Yexian.

Ru Zhongbai thought that after leaving Beijing, Hama would be rebellious, so it was better to strike first and get rid of it quickly, so as not to give birth to right and wrong in the court.

Tokh was hesitant about this, so he called to discuss it first, and as always, he was full of thoughts of Hama's kindness to his family, and refused to attack Hama, so Ru Zhongbai had to give up.

It was the kindness of the woman who gave Hama a great opportunity, and after leaving Beijing, Tariq secretly sent his subordinates to impeach Yexian, reiterating his defeat and being demoted to a commoner, saying that he was unworthy of virtue and could not lead a hundred officials.

Emperor Zhizheng was too lazy to take care of the government himself, so he promoted Hama to the political affairs of Zhongshu Pingzhang and ordered him to supervise Timur first.

After Hama took power, on the one hand, he put on the appearance of being loyal to the crown prince and Empress Qi, and obeyed them, and on the other hand, he reiterated the matter of delaying the crown prince's canonization ceremony, intending to provoke their mother and son to act against the Tokhtar brothers.

Queen Qi and Aiyu Zhili Dara were very dissatisfied with Tokhtara because of this matter, and after being provoked by Hama, the old anger rekindled, and they immediately made a clear position to support Hama to bring down Totokh.

Tokh had no idea about this, and took Senator Gong Bo to leave Beijing for the expedition, and was invincible along the way, even the Northern Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong abandoned the city and retreated repeatedly after receiving the news.

Because this "million-strong army" was too large and complex, the speed of the march was slow, and it took more than two months to arrive in Gaoyou in November of the 14th year of Zheng.

Zhang Shicheng thought that his side was waiting for work, so he sent troops out of the city to meet the enemy, and the two sides fought outside Gaoyou City.

What Zhang Shicheng didn't expect was that the Yuan soldiers he faced this time were very different from the Yuan soldiers he had dealt with before, not only the generals who led the troops were powerful, but the number of Yuan soldiers was too many, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back under the banner and the sun.

Only this defeat made Zhang Shicheng realize the gap between himself and the Yuan court, and immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat into the city and start to defend the city.

Tokhtar was not in a hurry to storm Gaoyou, and ordered several elite troops to attack Liuhe, Yancheng, Xinghua and other places, intending to completely trap Zhang Shicheng.

In a short time, the Yuan soldiers successfully captured these places, blocking the possibility of other rebel armies reaching out to Gaoyou, and Tokhtar began to order the whole army to storm Gaoyou.

Tokhto, who was anxious to make meritorious contributions, led the army to launch a fierce attack outside the city day and night, and Zhang Shicheng could only take the Yanmin Righteous Army to defend the city, and the two sides began to start a tug-of-war.

Fortunately, today's Gaoyou does not have to be in Xuzhou that day, and the military food in the city is sufficient, which makes the Yuan soldiers quite a headache for a while.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the morale of the Gaoyou defenders became more and more sluggish, and some people had already begun to suggest to Zhang Shicheng to surrender to Toto.

Gaoyou has been besieged for a long time, and Zhang Shicheng himself began to be afraid, but he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to escape the poisonous hands after surrendering, so he decided to defend Gaoyou at the request of Shen Fu and other main battle factions.

There was no secret way to escape in the city this time, and Wen Xuan and the others could only put the turning point of this battle on Su Sheng.
