After Fu Youde and Tang He broke through Sichuan, Mingsheng was escorted back to heaven by Tang He.

For this soldier, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him, but rewarded him with an official and gave him a title, named: Guiyi Hou.

The land is near Nanjing.

Placing him in Nanjing is somewhat to prevent him from slipping away, after all, he does not belong to his own camp, so if he is prepared, if one day this guy has brain cramps and wants to engage in a conspiracy and rebellion, he can kill him as soon as possible.

However, it should be happy for Mingsheng, after all, he was a deserter who was not killed and got an official job, which should be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Zhu Yuanzhang is considered to have done his best for Mingsheng.

After solving Mingsheng's problem, Zhu Yuanzhang began to shift his gaze to another place.

For other small places that have not yet been settled, this is the eternal pain in his heart.

If Mingsheng is a dead fish and a rotten shrimp, then this guy is a thousand-year-old king who can't be tossed to death.

He's the real big problem.

Their existence is like sticking a sword of Damocles in their heads, as long as one of them doesn't pay attention to the other party's head for a moment, their little life will be completely over.

If you don't get rid of them completely, you'll never be able to sleep peacefully.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already pacified most of the southern region, made up his mind after Tang Pingping led his troops back to Sichuan, and this time he wanted to solve this trouble once and for all.

His name is: Northern Yuan.

Their manager has two really great roles.

One is called: Aiyu Zhi Lidara (Ah Shou),

The other one is called: Wang Baobao.

The two of them are colleagues of each other, and they are also monarchs and ministers, and they are close comrades-in-arms.

Since Ah Shou was the crown prince, Wang Baobao has followed him and is the real backbone.

It has never stopped until now.

Now that Ah Shou is the emperor, Wang Baobao is determined to assist him in achieving hegemony.

The place they occupy at this time is located in the north, in a vast place, with a fierce personality, and they have a terrible penchant, slaughtering cities.

Once the city is broken, there will be no people and animals left, and no chickens and dogs will be left.

It is also for this reason that the people rewarded them with a terrible title.

Steppenwolf.

A jackal that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

Since Wang Baobao fled north from Gansu to join Ah Shou, the two of them have only done one thing.

Expansion.

In order to increase the number of troops as quickly as possible, they exhausted all means.

Soon their number of soldiers and horses increased to 100,000.

At this time, Ah Shou, who felt that his waist had hardened again, decided not to sit still, and he decided to take the initiative after drinking the northwest wind in the grassland for more than a year.

This time, Ah Shou, who had learned to be obedient, did not take the stupid method of going straight to Beiping last time, but aimed at the border plug in the north.

He wanted to use this place to practice his hands first.

Experience and train this group of recruits under him.

This group of recruits who screamed and shouted all day long to go into battle to kill the enemy and raise the majesty of our steppe wolf were basically obtained by pit abduction, many of them have never been on the battlefield, and they don't know the cruelty of the battlefield at all.

It is undoubtedly suicide to let this group of completely new recruits go straight to the well-defended Beiping.

For the sake of their safety and for the sake of their own grand revenge, let them practice first.

So they took care of Zhu Yuanzhang's business every once in a while, either playing Zhu Yuanzhang's autumn breeze, or visiting Zhu Yuanzhang's field.

In short, I'm not happy, and you Monk Zhu don't want to be happy.

But they didn't know, they thought that they were just making a small fuss and couldn't get into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and they couldn't escape Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Nanjing, had long been eyeing them.

And in the bottom of my heart, I began to plan a detailed plan.

In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang, who could not bear it anymore, issued this year's No. 001 emperor order.

The Second Northern Expedition, began.

Target: Northern Yuan.

Missions: Ah Shou, Wang Baobao.

The final goal: to eradicate it completely.

In order to completely eradicate this stubborn disease, Zhu Yuanzhang chose Xu Da, who had dealt with Wang Baobao several times.

After the combat mission was determined, Zhu Yuanzhang must have had a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Da.

Asking is similar to pulling homely words.

For example, brother, how is your health recently, your daughter is so young, you can marry if you can, marry my son if you want to marry, your mother's asthma has been getting better recently, and so on.

I will definitely not forget to enhance my feelings, and say: This Northern Expedition will have to trouble you again, brother, if you can work harder, you will take care of it more.

After the final pull was almost over, he asked Xu Da how many people he needed for this northern expedition [how many soldiers he wanted to recruit]?

Xu Da's reply was 100,000 enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

100,000 is too little, I'll give you 150,000.

Xu Da was afraid that the boss who had always been slamming the door would not approve it at first, but he didn't expect that not only was there no less, but there were 50,000 more, which must have been happy for him.

From the conversation between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang, sharp-eyed people have heard a different taste.

Xu Da's words are more or less contemptible.

Maybe he wants to be Han Xin this time, or maybe he wants to be his old partner Chang Yuchun, who has passed away.

He also wanted to taste the taste of 100,000 soldiers and horses rampaging across the world.

However, there is often a big difference in nature between the main general and the titan, and they are not completely equal.

After determining Xu Da as the main general, Zhu Yuanzhang told everyone the action plan he had finalized.

He first divided the 150,000 soldiers and horses into three parts, led by three people, they were Xu Da as the general of the conquest and set out from the middle road through the Yanmen Pass in Shanxi to attack and Lin (verbally become a rush soldier, but in fact this is shaking Ashou, their speed is actually the slowest of the three armies).

The middle road (east road) was led by Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong as the left deputy general, and went out of Juyongguan to attack Helin through Yingchangfu.

The last Western Route Army was led by Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Guogong, as the right deputy general, and went out of Jinlan to attack the Gansu area, as a suspicious soldier to induce the Northern Yuan Army to disperse its forces.

The three of them led 50,000 troops respectively and attacked Ashou in three ways.

Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang must have been full of confidence in the face of these 150,000 soldiers and horses, and since he joined the army, he has never been so eager to kill a person.

Whether it is Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, they were all killed by themselves step by step, but this Ah Shou, or the real protagonist Wang Baobao behind him, is the real thorn in the flesh.

This time, so many people were recruited, and all of them were elite soldiers, each of them was a veteran who crawled out of the blood and the dead rolled out, all of them had experienced a hundred battles, and I believe that relying on their strength can completely kill the hidden danger of constantly harassing the northern border fortress.

Zhu Yuanzhang is full of confidence.

He believed he could beat the other side.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, the three-way army set off one after another.

The first to set off was Xu Da's middle route army.

In order to cooperate with Xu Da in the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang assigned him an assistant before setting off.

The name of this deputy is: Lan Yu (everyone remember this person, this guy is a bull regardless of his background or military exploits).

Name: Lan Yu;

Nationality: Han nationality;

Gender: Male;

Occupation: General;

Identity: Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law;

Another identity: Prince Zhu Biao's father-in-law;

Official position: General of the Expedition, Prince and Prince;

Nationality: Chinese, Ming Dynasty;

Place of birth: Dingyuan, Haozhou (now Dingyuan County, Anhui Province);

Date of death: 1393;

Main achievements: the Battle of Yuerhai broke the Northern Yuan;

Title: Liang Guogong (originally Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Liang Guogong, but it was muddy, and Zhu Yuanzhang changed it).

First of all, it needs to be stated here that Lan Yu has a characteristic that people have to admire, this guy is the same as his own brother-in-law, the same fierce, the same ability to fight.

But the two have two completely different ways to play on the battlefield.

Chang Yuchun is suitable for quick battles, that is, face-to-face battles with the enemy, like knives, directly hitting the enemy and crippling, and then chasing and killing all the way until the enemy can't find the north of the quick battle.

This style of play is now called "Rapid Assault Battle".

But Sapphire is different, he is suitable for playing dark warfare.

The secret war I am referring to here is not the spy war depicted in the movie, but the kind of surprise war, which is a battle in which the enemy doesn't know where you are at the last moment, or even knows that the enemy is near, but the enemy is killed in an instant in the next second.

I even have some doubts that Chang Yuchun's family is a specially selected family of the art of war, and when their family gets married, regardless of whether they are men or women, they must choose the kind of other half who can both lead soldiers and fight in order to get married, just like our current political marriage, otherwise this marriage will go bankrupt.

On 29 February, Xu Dajun, who was the middle route, led his cavalry out of Yanmen Pass under the leadership of the vanguard governor Lan Yu, and defeated Wang Baobao at the first stop near Yema River (present-day Krulun River on the Sino-Mongolian border).

Victory in the first battle.

In order to achieve a greater victory, Lan Yu, who led the troops for the first time, did not let go of this group of deserters.

He chose to pursue all the way, and on 20 March, Lan Yu defeated Timur again at the Tura River (today's Tula River, located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia).

Two battles, two wins.

In the face of this kind of battle situation, Lan Yu, who had never really dealt with Wang Baobao for the first time, had a light enemy mentality, he felt that Wang Baobao was not as powerful as the legend, and the soldiers and horses led by Wang Baobao started a head-on confrontation with him, and he couldn't even stop a round and began to turn around and run around, this kind of goods is not worth being afraid of at all.

So he decided to continue the pursuit.

Until Wang Baobao is beaten back to his hometown!

Beat back to his hometown where he was still his mother's womb.

At this time, Xu Da, as a reserve army, led the infantry to march slowly in the rear, and found that the cavalry led by Lan Yu was running a little too far, a little out of his control, and even a little lone infiltrated, Xu Da ordered Lan Yu to stop advancing and wait for the follow-up troops to follow up before dealing with it.
