When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned: We didn't promise you to go on the expedition, Guo Guangchang, the commander of the Yingzhou Houtun Guard, said: "Lord Wang, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, nor is it shirking, this soldier..."

Before Guo Guangchang finished speaking, he saw Zhang Pu look up and glance at everyone, and said imposingly: "What? Lord Wang, is there anyone who is unwilling to go out to fight the Tartars? Under this sweep, the murderous look in his eyes was revealed, and the frightened Guo Guangchang quickly closed his mouth, and the others also hurriedly lowered their heads.

Yao Guangqi and Zhu Neng, who were in the distance, saw this situation and smiled at each other, Yao Guangqi asked, "What method did you use to surprise the head horse?" ”

Zhu Neng pretended to shake his head mysteriously: "The Buddha said, don't say, don't say." ”

When Zhu Di led the five guards of Yingzhou back to Beiping, the three guards of Yanwang in Beiping and the nine guards under the jurisdiction of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, a total of twelve guards had been rectified, and they would go out at any time after Zhu Di's order.

Zhu Di stood at the head of the city, looking at the banners of the guards flying under the city, his heart was extremely excited, this is tens of thousands of troops, the first time he went to the field, he could command such an army, Zhu Di felt that his blood was boiling, every pore on his body was permeated with excitement, he seemed to see the future, saw the battlefield in the distance, saw himself in front of the battle personally commanded and dispatched, his army rushed towards the Mongols like a tide, the Mongols resisted stubbornly, but under the strong impact of their own side, the final battle line still collapsed, The Mongols fled like lost dogs.

"Lord Wang!" A voice pulled Zhu Di back to reality, the person who spoke was Zhang Yu, at this time he was still under the pseudonym Zhang Pu, and his identity was still a hundred households, "The scouts have all been sent out, should we also go?" Zhang Yu thought that Zhu Di was planning how to enter the army, for fear of disturbing Zhu Di's train of thought, so he deliberately lowered his voice.

There are no generous statements to inspire the whole army, there are no heroic words that kill the enemy and double the reward, although these words Zhu Di has been brewing countless times, although he is afraid of forgetting, he has written these words in his pocket, but now, in the face of such an army, in the face of the military flag fluttering in the wind, in the face of those soldiers who are ready to go, Zhu Di finds that he can't say a word.

"Let's go!" Zhu Di loudly gave this simple order to send troops.

The world is vast, all things grow, the land of Hebei is full of weather, the 170,000 troops are dispatched, the marching queue can not forget the edge at a glance, the mighty and mighty straight to Kaipingwei, the army is neat and tidy, the pace of the soldiers is not uniform, but more than 100,000 steps on the ground, or the earth that shook made a dull noise. Yao Guangqi and Tang Hao were dressed as grassland merchants at this time, standing on the small hillside next to the team, and the two were also shocked by this magnificent scene, especially Tang Hao, although he had often been in contact with military people since he was a child, but in the face of such a large and majestic army, and it was the first time to see it at such a close distance, this young man's blood boiled, and he couldn't help but turn over his horse and gallop towards the grassland in the north.

Zhu Di, who studied military books with Li Wenzhong since he was a child to discuss the art of war, did not realize that it was really not easy to lead the troops, the marching sequence, the supply of baggage, the summary of intelligence at the front, and the coordination of people from all walks of life, first had to face a bunch of details and trivial matters, for Zhu Di, who was rarely in the army, he was indeed a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, Zhu Di had two good helpers, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

Zhang Yu has been in the army for more than half a year, and is already very familiar with military affairs, every time Zhu Di gives an order, he can carefully consider and improve it into a practical order, and Zhu Neng has always been a soldier who does not read, this is the best opportunity for him to personally verify the art of war, so he has been thinking about it from the beginning and putting forward various suggestions for Zhu Di, so Zhu Di has led the troops for the first time, but there is no big mistake.

After marching for about fifty miles, the sky suddenly became overcast, and then there was a thunder in the sky, and the army quickly stopped to avoid the rain, and at this time Zhu Di found Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu again, "This march is too slow, at this speed, we haven't joined Kaiping Liuwei yet, and the Mongols have called." ”

Zhang Yu nodded: "The soldiers are very fast, and Timur's battlefield commander must also know this truth, so he will definitely go south quickly and catch us off guard." ”

Soon, Zhu Di and several people discussed a new countermeasure.

Zhu Di Zhang Yu and others are not wrong in their inferences about Timur, Timur has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, of course he knows the basic truth of the speed of the soldiers, and he is indeed deployed in this way, his original plan was that the Zhennan general Qila Huachi sent troops to feint Kaiping, attract the attention of the Ming court and attract the main force of the Ming army to the direction of Kaiping, and after the Ming army rescued in the direction of Kaiping, he led the main army to appear under the city of Beiping unexpectedly, and it was best to capture Beiping, even if he could not capture Beiping, at that time the Ming army found its strategic intentions, Will definitely return to the division to rescue Beiping, at that time as long as the Ming army on the way back to set up an ambush, will be a heavy blow to the main force of the Ming army, this trick is not actually the first to Tie Timur, in recent years he often read some Han history and military books, especially the ancient and modern famous generals of the war examples, this trick to put it bluntly, in fact, is also from Sun Bin's siege of Wei to save Zhao from the realization of the plan.

It's just that Timur made two preparations, the first was to hit the main force of the Ming army, occupy Beiping, and use Beiping to blackmail the Ming Dynasty, try his best to fight for food and treasures for himself, and return the grain to Beiping. As long as he has food and money, he can gather more subordinates and grab more land and pasture. The reason for making such a plan is because Timur knows that his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are categorically unable to gain a firm foothold in Beiping, the power of the Ming Dynasty is far greater than his own, not to mention, there are still the constraints of the golden family behind him, even if he has a firm foothold in Beiping, it is likely that he will not be able to reap the benefits in the end, and he may be stabbed from behind, and finally give up Beiping.

Timur's second-hand preparation was that if the Ming court did not compromise, he would take advantage of the autumn harvest to transport all the grain from Beiping City and the surrounding areas back to the grassland.

It can be said that Timur has the confidence to win this time, first, the time of his own southward journey must have caught the Ming court by surprise, and second, Li Wenzhong, who defeated him last year, has returned to Beijing, according to his spies in Yingtian, Li Wenzhong has just returned to Changchang and became seriously ill, and now he is bedridden, and other veterans and famous generals of the Ming court, dead old and old, no one can lead the army to compete with him, with this kind of thought, Timur dared to enter the army again when he was just defeated last year.

It's just that Timur's calculations were good, but when it came time to implement them, something went wrong, and the problem was with people. The first problem is that his son doesn't spend it, and when he came out this time, Timur wanted to take his son and didn't spend it on the battlefield to experience it

, first, to let him see some of the world, and secondly, to accumulate some prestige in the army, so as not to be able to control those subordinates in the future. But his living son disappeared before the expedition.

The second problem faced by Timur was discord among his subordinates. Timur's two generals, Dahulu and Shutanle were originally brothers in life and death who had been in love, but the relationship between the two suddenly became tense in the past two days, and at the last meeting, the two confronted each other directly outside their big tents, if it wasn't for their own guards to stop them, the two almost used knives.

Timur secretly sent someone to inquire and found out that the outbreak of the contradiction was because Dahulu learned that Shutanle was cheating with his concubine and looking for Shutanle theory, and Shutanle hid, but only one day later, Shutanle actually took the initiative to come to the door to find Dahulu theory, on the grounds that Dahulu was cheating with Shutanle's concubine. Knowing the ins and outs, Timur immediately knew that this must be a ghost in the middle, first the news of the affair between Shutanle and Dahulu's wife and concubine was quietly revealed to Dahulu, and then the same method was concocted, and the news of Dahulu's affair with Shutanle's concubine was revealed to Shutanle, after the contradiction between the two was provoked, he himself could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, which was really a good means, Timur thought to himself, he did not misunderstand this person, and his mind was deep and not under himself.

But now that it was the critical moment of marching into the army, the tense relationship between the two generals made it difficult for them to march together, so Timur had to temporarily change the formation and let the Rana Huachi lead the men and horses of his headquarters to feint Kaiping.

Although he was scheming, he never discounted the execution of Timur's order, and immediately set off for Kaiping after receiving the order.

The march was very fast, and soon reached a place less than two hundred miles away from Kaiping. Immediately, he ordered the whole army to repair in situ and wait for the news from the outpost to return to the direction of Kaipingwei. Not long after, the outpost reported and captured a lone soldier of the Ming army, and the outpost said that this person had taken the initiative to defect, so he brought it back.

"What's your name? What for? He asked, although his Chinese was not standard, he still spoke very slippery.

The one who was caught was a big fat man with a fat head and big ears, and the flesh on his cheeks had begun to sagge because it was too thick and too thick, and the flesh all over his body trembled as soon as he spoke: "The little one is called Qin Zhaoming, who was originally a thousand households of the Ming army, and now he is a horseman." ”

When he heard that it was a thousand households, he suddenly came to his senses: "It's a thousand households, why did you become a groom again?" You said you were going to run here? ”

Qin Zhaoming gritted his teeth and said: "The little one offended Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and was demoted to a groom by Zhu Di, they don't treat the little one as a person, and the little one sneaks out while people are not paying attention, and comes to you specifically." ”

This person is the fat Qianhu who blackmailed Zhu Di, although this person is hateful, but Zhu Di relented for a while and did not kill him, but demoted him to raise horses. Of course, Qin Zhaoming did not tell the truth, did not say the bad things he did, but portrayed Zhu Di as a big villain who was greedy for money and lustful, and he himself became a persecuted innocent officer.

Listening to the story made up by Qin Zhaoming, he felt that this person was a little suspicious, so he began to ask about the specific situation within the Ming army, including the establishment of military households and various guards.
