After Zhu Yunwen's order was sent to Wuxue and the Guards, Chen Di and Jing Qing immediately sent people to gather relevant personnel for discussion.

Fu Youde sat in the staff room, commanded the trainees to hang up the map, and then read out Zhu Yunwen's order, let everyone start to discuss, sat down himself, and listened to everyone's speeches. Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Chen Zhen, and Song Xuan were all a little excited, because the imperial court would not make decisions to officers of their level, but Qu Neng was relatively calm.

Looking at these high-spirited young officers, Fu Youde was very envious. Judging from the decision of the imperial grandson this time, he knew that he had lost the opportunity to go to the battlefield forever, and at this moment, he was a little disappointed, but at the same time relieved. In the past year of martial arts, he seems to have been forgotten, and even Zhu Yunwen has not come to see him a few times, but Fu Youde knows in his heart that if he is not in martial arts, I am afraid that he will not live today. Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with Lan Yu and the others so decisively, it was no effort to dispose of himself, as for the reason, just find it. Thinking of this, Fu Youde straightened his mentality, and he was at ease to be a staff officer, giving advice to the emperor's grandson, and repaying his kindness for preservation.

Thinking of this, Fu Youde stood up and said, "Everyone has seen His Highness's order, and General Ben thinks so. First of all, we analyze the intentions of the Mongolian army, and secondly, we analyze the countermeasures of our army, which are divided into two directions, one is that the king of Yan is healed and can lead the troops to the battle, and the other is that the king of Yan cannot lead the troops to the battle. Then we string these discussions together and report them to His Highness. ”

Chen Zhen spoke first: "The last general has been stationed in Datong for a long time, and the actions of the Mongolian army this time are indeed abnormal, and in the past five years, there have been almost no Mongols around Datong. The last general thought that it was possible that Mongolia had ended the civil strife and reunited, and it was also possible that it had received the support of the western Warat, Turghut and other tribes, so the last general thought that it could not be taken lightly, and the last general estimated that their purpose should be to harass the construction of Suiyuan City. ”

Ping'an nodded and said: "The last general does not completely agree with General Chen's statement, the Mongols' attack this time shows that the civil strife has been calmed, but its purpose may not be in Suiyuan City, maybe it is to lure our army out of the fortress and wait for an opportunity to annihilate our army." ”

Sheng Yong thought for a while and said: "The last general has no experience in fighting the Mongols, so it is difficult to judge, but the last general is inclined to General Ping's statement. ”

After the three of them finished speaking, they all looked at Fu Youde, Fu Youde smiled and looked at Qu Neng: "General Qu, what about you?" ”

Qu Neng stood up and said, "The last general is also inclined to General Ping's statement. ”

"Okay, let's analyze them separately, if the enemy target is in Suiyuan City, how should our army respond?"

......

Three days later, Zhu Yunwen received a reply from Wuxue's deduction, which was inclined to the Mongol army to lure our army out of the fortress, and if the king of Yan recovered, it was recommended that he lead his troops out of the fortress and fight a decisive battle with him; If it is not healed, it is recommended to gather troops to defend the fortress, and at the same time strengthen the strength of the Datong army to ensure the success of the siege.

Wu Xue did not put forward Fu Youde's suggestion to get out of the jam, which shows that Fu Youde understood what he meant and did not come out strongly, which Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied with, and at the same time sighed a little.

The reply of Xu Huizu and others was also sent to Zhu Yunwen half a month later, and their suggestion was to strengthen the defense in the direction of Datong, and use each other as horns to ensure the success of the construction of the city, and did not recommend that King Yan go out of the fortress. Wang Du also sent a message to Zhu Yunwen, suggesting that he take the opportunity to leave King Yan in Beijing and prevent him from returning to the fiefdom.

Zhu Yunwen found that he didn't get more advice, and he still had to choose by himself, how should he decide? After thinking about it, he couldn't help but come to the place where King Yan was recuperating.

King Yan was seriously ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang placed him in Jingren Palace next to the Qianqing Palace for easy care. Zhu Yunwen arrived at Jingren Palace, because King Yan often went crazy when he saw him, so the guards at the door also followed, ready to protect the imperial grandson at any time.

King Yan was reading a book at this time, and when he saw Zhu Yunwen coming in, he smiled slightly, put down the book in his hand, but did not stand up, and said, "Yunwen, are you coming to see me today?" ”

Zhu Yunwen bowed down and said, "Uncle Wang, Yunwen came today to see if Uncle Wang's health is better?" ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Yun Wei, Uncle Wang is old, his body is not as good as before, and now he is just barely walking, I'm afraid he will no longer be able to gallop on the field." ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Yunwen came to see Uncle Wang today in the hope that Uncle Wang would help. ”

"What?"

"It's still the last time, now there is a lack of generals from Beiping, Yun Wei originally belonged to Uncle Wang, and Uncle Wang might support it?"

Zhu Di gently tapped his leg with his right hand and said, "Yun Wei, Uncle Wang's body has not recovered, I'm afraid I won't be able to help." ”

"Then Uncle Wang has any suggestions for candidates?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said, "Yun Wei, uncle has thought about it, I'm afraid that only Feng Sheng and Fu Youde can, but these two can't be used lightly." ”

"What about Uncle Ning Wang or Cao Guogong Li Jinglong?"

Zhu Di smiled lightly and said: "Both of them are known for their strategy, and the most important thing in fighting out of the fortress is prudence, boldness, bravery, and perseverance, and they are not very suitable." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, Yunwen remembers." ”

After that, Zhu Yunwen no longer asked about military matters, but talked to Zhu Di about family life, and Zhu Di also responded with a smile. After chatting for about two quarters of an hour, Zhu Yunwen said goodbye and left.

Zhu Di did not get up to see him off, but smiled and watched his nephew walk out of the palace gate, and then let out a slight sigh......

Zhu Yunwen walked out of Jingren Palace, looked back at the majestic palace, and felt that Zhu Di was also quite normal, with clear thinking, far-reaching knowledge, and could indeed help himself a lot, if this person stayed in Beijing to be a think tank for himself, it would be good, but unfortunately he could only think about it.

Zhu Yunwen reconvened Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Zhuo Jing and Li Jinglong, and after careful consideration, he made a statement to Zhu Yuanzhang: appointed Xu Huizu as the general of the expedition to the north, Song Sheng as the deputy general, sent troops to Suiyuan, and built the city; Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, sat in Xi'an, thinking that he was backing up, and Tie Xuan was transferred to Shaanxi as the political envoy, responsible for supervising the grain and grass; The commander of the Taisun Guard Army, Qu Neng, was transferred to the command of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, the Sichuan Xingdu was the commander of Tongzhi, and Chen Xuan was transferred to the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and the commander of the Tongzhi; Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, sat in Beiping and focused on defense; The prince of Jin, the king of Liao, and the king of Ning returned to their fiefdoms, reorganized their armies and fought wars, focusing on defense, and the kings and Li Jinglong returned to the king of Ning to control them.

Finally, according to the suggestions of the commanders at all levels, Song Xuan's first guard cavalry was transferred to Suiyuan, which was controlled by Xu Huizu, and Song Xuan was given the rank of general; The martial arts instructor was safely transferred to Shaanxi, under the control of Xu Huizu, and hung the rank of deputy general; Transferred a guard to Taisun to follow Li Jinglong to the north, and Wei commanded Zhang Lun.

In the end, Tian Yushu served as the commander of the left guard of the Taisun Guard, and Sheng Yong served as the commander of the capital.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree immediately, but summoned Zhu Yunwen and carefully inquired about his overall strategy and the consideration of each candidate. Zhu Yunwen truthfully reported the conversation with the king of Yan, and since there was no one to take on the heavy task of leaving the fortress, he decided to take a defensive position on the eastern front, mobilize a part of the cavalry to rush to the western front, gather heavy troops in Datong and Suiyuan, and fight a decisive battle with the Mongols, and then build a city.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully and agreed. Then the order was sent to the military department, and the generals and soldiers of the various departments began to move as a whole, and the last large-scale military operation of the Ming Dynasty in the Hongwu Dynasty began.

And almost at the same time, Princess Yan and her children came to Beijing to visit King Yan.
