After Zhu Yunwen came out of Baifu, his heart was comfortable, looking up at the stars in the sky, he couldn't help but let out a long howl, and ran all the way along West Chang'an Avenue until he ran in front of the VIP building before stopping. Zhu Yunwen was sweating profusely, panting, leaning on the railing on the side of the street and coughing violently, Fu Rang followed him all the time, patting his back gently.

Zhu Yunwen coughed a few times, waved his hand, grabbed Fu Rang, and said, "Retreat, thank you, but your strength is too great, Lone can't stand it a little, cough cough." He coughed again.

Fu Rang was not good at words, so he let out a "hmm" and retreated. At this time, Liu Zhencai stumbled over, panting and said: "Your Highness, don't run, the little one is dying, if something happens, the mother will pick my skin." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Zhen sweating profusely, and couldn't help laughing: "Liu Zhen, it seems that you need to exercise well, otherwise how can you protect Lonely." ”

Liu Zhen exaggeratedly opened his arms and danced with his hands: "Your Highness is a real dragon, how can I, a mortal, catch up, so Your Highness has to wait for me." ”

Zhu Yunwen was amused by Liu Zhen and laughed, and Fu Rang, Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Jing also smiled slightly.

After returning to Duanben Palace, Zhu Yunwen sent a letter to Ma Hui, saying that he was back, so as not to worry her. Liu Zhen came back and said that Concubine Taisun was not sleeping, she was writing, and when she heard that Her Royal Highness was gone, she answered and asked him to come back.

Zhu Yunwen sighed, he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of emotional matter, it was a natural relationship in his previous life, his identity is different in this life, and his every move is stared at, maybe now his mother and grandfather already know what he is going to do today. But no matter what, I won't give up, when I heard the news that Rui'er vomited blood, I realized my sincerity, I couldn't give up on her, I wouldn't give up no matter what.

When Lu Shi got the report, he rubbed his frowning brows, sighed softly, and added more guards to Bai Fangrui.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Yuan Zhen and Yuan Jing's reports in detail, pondered for a while, and did not speak, and Yuan Zhen and Yuan Jing were also silent. After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Yuan Zhen, Yuan Jing, the last time I went to see Zhang Zhenren, the two of you were not yet ten years old. This time, I begged Zhang Zhenren to send a few people to protect Yun Wei's safety, but I didn't expect the two of you to come, and I was quite happy, but why did you two get so angry with me. ”

Yuan Zhen and Yuan Jing glanced at each other, and Yuan Zhen stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, back then, the two of us were young and didn't know how to count etiquette, but now we are ordered by our master to protect the emperor's grandson, and we should fulfill our duties and dare not speak falsely." ”

"No formality, you two come over and sit down beside me."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yuan Jing carefully and said, "Why didn't Yuan Jing speak." ”

Yuan Jing bowed his head and said, "The master punishes Yuan Jing, and others don't ask questions or speak." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "This old guy actually punished you like a child like this, I must talk about him next time we meet." ”

Yuan Jing said abruptly: "Your Majesty, Yuan Jing has caused a big disaster, and it is all on this mouth, so the master's punishment, Yuan Jing has no complaints, and Senior Brother Yuan Zhen can testify." ”

"Yes, this time I went down the mountain, it was also part of the master's punishment, and the master also ordered me to supervise Yuan Jing and not to violate the precepts, but Senior Brother Yuan Jing behaved very well and did not violate the precepts."

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "What mistake did Yuan Jing make?" Zhang Zhenren wants to punish you so heavily? ”

"This ......" Yuan Zhen paused and said, "Please forgive the emperor, we can't say it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head rarely, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, although I am the Son of Heaven, I can't do anything about Zhang Zhenren, does he still travel often?" ”

"Yes, when the emperor sent someone up the mountain, the master happened to be on the mountain, and after his old man saw it, he ordered us to go down the mountain, and now it is estimated that he is no longer on the mountain."

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled the two to chat for a while before saying, "What do you think of Yun Wei?" ”

Yuan Zhen and Yuan Jing glanced at each other, and Yuan Zhen said: "Your Majesty, we are just guards, and we don't dare to comment on the imperial grandson." ”

"I and Zhang Zhenren are close friends, so you are like my nephews, you can say anything you want."

Yuan Zhen thought for a while and said: "Your Highness is kind by nature and sincere to others, but he doesn't like words, but for some reason, he can feel the loneliness and alienation of the master. ”

"Well, there's anything else going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, turned to Yuan Jing, and said, "What about Yuan Jing?" ”

"Your Highness is not bad, but there are some mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law who do things, and they are not cool enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Yuan Jing is still the same, not bad, really good." ”

......

On the shores of Lake Dalinor, outside the city of Yuanyingchang. Da Ming originally set up Ying Changwei here, but he has given up.

King Ning was holding a military meeting in the big tent, which was attended by Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, the commander of Daning, Bu Wan, the commander of Daning, Chen Heng, the governor of the capital, Liu Zhen, the governor of Anlu, Wu Jie, and others.

Zhu Yuanzhang's edict was to let Guo Ying lead the whole army, but King Ning preferred Li Jinglong, because Li Jinglong was high-spirited and wanted to sweep the desert, so he hit it off with King Ning. Guo Ying was a little old-fashioned, which made King Ning a little disliked. At this time, Guo Ying was speaking: "His Royal Highness King Ning, now that our army has been out of Kaiping for fifteen days, and has reached the emperor's goal of sweeping the surroundings of Kaiping, it is time to be a teacher." ”

King Ning frowned, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong understood, immediately stood up, and said: "Old General Guo, although our army swept the periphery of Kaiping, but it did not gain much, and the enemy army is in front of me, my 50,000 iron cavalry should sweep away the leaves with the autumn wind and wipe out the Mongols." In addition, judging by the previous battles, the Mongols had almost no iron armor and were poorly equipped, so they did not pose much threat to our army. ”

Guo Ying is over sixty years old, but his voice is still loud and majestic, and he said loudly: "This is exactly where the general is puzzled, it is the middle of winter, and the Mongols should be roasting in the camp tent at this time, how can they suddenly harass Kaiping and Daning, I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”

"Fraud? Bengong doesn't think so," Speaking of this, Li Jinglong arched his hand and said: "When His Royal Highness King Ning led the Daning and Guangning armies to Kaiping, he defeated Polin Timur and others by the way, and his remnants fled to Kaiping, and made peace with Harawu, my Kaiping army and King Ning attacked inside and outside, the Mongol army was defeated, beheading more than 2,000 ranks, Balin Timur and Harawu fled north, and our army chased all the way to Yingchang. The lack of supplies for the Mongols was a great opportunity for our army to wipe out this generation in one fell swoop. ”

"Well, what Cao Guogong said is very true, by the way, Bu Wan, as a striker, you have the most right to speak, tell me your opinion." King Ning smiled and turned to his most relied on general, Daning Du commanded Bu Wan.

Bu Wan is over forty years old this year, tall, is a standard Shandong man, he arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the last general commander 5,000 cavalry, from Kaiping all the way to chase Harawu to Yingchang, the enemy is a little strange, a little panicked when fleeing from Kaiping, but when he arrived in Yingchang, he suddenly became resolute, concentrated all the cavalry to countercharge, the forward 1,000 people were not afraid of death, causing great casualties to our army, and so the last general defeated them, and after arriving at Yingchang, he found that the enemy had withdrawn." This shows that ......" Bu Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the last general thinks that there may be more noble Mongolian nobles near Yingchang. ”

"And what about your proposal?" King Ning leaned over and said.

Bu Wan hesitated for a moment, and said: "The last general feels that the enemy's situation is unclear and it is not easy to advance, the last general is willing to be the vanguard of the elite soldiers, and the army should remain vigilant to prevent the enemy from tricking." ”

King Ning didn't expect his right-hand men to be so serious, he frowned, and said, "What about the others?" What are the opinions? ”

Chen Heng is over sixty years old, has long since lost his former style, he was originally the Yuan Dynasty Yangzhou Wanhu, and later returned to the Ming Dynasty, although the battle is brave, but he is cautious, at this time, he thought about it and said: "Your Highness, it is now the first month of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the weather is cold, and the soldiers are fighting in the cold winter, I am afraid it is not very suitable, and we have completed the emperor's edict, and the last general thinks that it is better to be a teacher." ”

"What about you? What about General Liu, General Wu? ”

Liu Zhen and Wu Jie are both cautious people, and they said in unison: "I am willing to obey His Royal Highness's military orders." ”

Li Jinglong said: "My father thinks that our army should continue to move north, eliminate Timur and Haragu, and completely eliminate their threat to Kaiping. Otherwise, once our army retreats, the enemy will come back and harass Kaiping and Daning again, and then the emperor will be angry, who will bear the consequences? ”

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, every time I go out of the country, there have been gains, and there is no time to return in vain. Now that our army is still in Yingchang, we dare not enter, how can we be worthy of the emperor Longen. In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, in the fishing sea, if it was not for the Dingyuan Marquis's strong insistence, once the army turned, how could there be a great victory in the fishing sea? In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, if it weren't for King Yan's insistence on braving the snow to march, how could he subdue Prime Minister Yuan to bite and Yuan Taiwei to not spend? ”

Li Jinglong's words made everyone speechless, because what Li Jinglong said was reasonable, the enemy army should indeed be exterminated, and if you don't make progress, you won't gain anything, but you always feel that something is wrong?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ning Wangxi said: "Since everyone has no opinion, Lone has decided, continue to advance northward with the commander's army, pursue and suppress the remnants of the Yuan army, and do not eliminate Polin Timur and Harawu, and never class teachers." ”

"In addition," King Ning pointed to the map and said, "I will tell you the good news, Gu has ordered the Wuliang Hawei's To'er Huocha to mobilize 30,000 Mongol cavalry, assemble to the fishing sea, and wait for the king's order, when the time comes, our army will have a total of 80,000 cavalry, which is enough to crush all Mongol resistance." ”

Everyone was shocked, it turned out that King Ning had already decided to go on an expedition. The veteran Guo Ying said: "Your Highness, this is a violation of the emperor's edict, please think twice." ”

"How so?" King Ning said indifferently: "The emperor ordered me to take charge of military affairs and sweep away the enemy of Kaiping, and now that the enemy of Kaiping has not been destroyed, how can this king return to the division?" And the mobilization of the three tribes of Uliangha is also within the scope of the king's authority. ”

Everyone was speechless, and King Ning ordered in high spirits: "Pass on the king's military order, Bu Wan is the vanguard, the vanguard of the army, and the task is to pursue the enemy in front, but be cautious and not rash the enemy." Cao Guogong, Marquis of Wuding, Liu Zhen and Benwang were the Chinese army; Chen Heng was the left army; Wu Jie is the right army. ”

The people took the command and departed.

King Ning greeted Li Jinglong, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you Jiujiang today, if it weren't for your sharp words and the fact that these veterans were speechless, this king wouldn't know how to persuade the army to go north." ”

Li Jinglong was very familiar with King Ning, so he was not restrained, and said: "Your Royal Highness King Ning, Jiujiang is just a matter of facts, and there will be no danger for the army to go north, this is a good opportunity to establish authority." And," Speaking of this, Li Jinglong lowered his voice and said: "Now that King Yan is seriously ill and recuperating in Beijing, I heard that his health is very bad and he can no longer lead the troops to the battle, this is a great opportunity for the prince to make meritorious contributions and establish his authority." ”

King Ning looked at Li Jinglong and couldn't help laughing.

Guo Ying walked out of the camp tent, and when he heard the laughter of King Ning and Li Jinglong, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

An Luhou Wu Jie looked at no one around, and said softly: "Lord Commander, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, the prince and Cao Guogong are so light on the enemy, the last general is a little worried." ”

Guo Ying sighed and said: "Ben Hou is also a little worried, but fortunately, our army is strong, and the Mongolian army is powerless to shake it. Wait a few days, and then persuade the prince. ”

Yingchang City, also known as Lu Wangcheng, was originally the territory of the Hongji Department where the Holy Empress of the Yuan Dynasty was located. During the period of Kublai Khan, the Hongji Rabu built Yingchang City on the shore of Dalinor Lake, the south of Dalinor Lake is Mantuo Mountain, the north bank is Pingdingshan, and the east is the remaining vein of Daxing'an Mountains, and the geographical location is very superior.

Mantuo Mountain is not very high, but there is a natural cave on the east side, there is a small temple next to the cave, called Longxing Temple, the cave also gave a very beautiful name, the pure Brahma water cloud cave, the hole is five meters high, six meters wide, six meters deep, there is a hole in the hole, only one person is allowed to pass, unfathomable. When people stand at the entrance of the cave, sometimes they will hear some wind and water sounds. At this time, there was a person standing next to the Shuiyun Cave, who had been standing at the entrance of the cave for a long time, wearing a wool coat and a mink hat, looking like a Mongolian, but wearing much more than the guards next to him. He listened to the wind in the cave and said, "Duomen, the Ming army is still stationed on the edge of Yingchang City?" ”

The guards next to him glanced into the distance, and said, "My lord, the sentry on the top of the mountain just now told me that the Ming army has been stationed for a day, I'm afraid it's to rest and recover his strength." The physical strength of the Han people is really poor, and they have only been 300 miles out of the Great Wall, and it has become like this. Suddenly remembered something, and said suddenly: "My lord, I'm not talking about you. ”

The lord was silent for a while, and sighed: "I can't be considered a Han anymore, and I should be taken in by the great leader and repaid by the powder; And Zhu Yuanzhang killed my whole family, I must take revenge, thank the big leader for giving me this opportunity. ”

Duomen touched his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't understand this, I only know that the big leader is very important to adults, and the young leader also ordered us to protect adults." ”

The adult was about to speak, when a Mongol rushed up from behind him, and tried to come, but was stopped by the guards. Duomen walked over, asked a few questions, and hurriedly ran back, saying, "My lord, the Ming army has pulled out the camp, and it seems that it is going north." ”

The adult couldn't help but clench his fists and wanted to shout, but he opened his mouth and closed it again, and then coughed, and it could be seen that it was hard to endure. After a while, he looked back at Duomen and said, "Let's go, go to Duoyanwei." ”

The Mongols packed up their tents very quickly, and the adults were helped into the carriage, and Duomen and others were guarding them. The group descended from Mantuo Mountain and rushed to the Duoyanwei camp in the upper reaches of the Taer River (now Tao River).
