Chapter 428: One Eliminates the Other

Hao Ren has been fighting outside for a long time, and it is difficult for him to sit on the bench anymore, which is an occupational disease of everyone who runs outside all the year round, and he must have a process of adaptation, especially the very small palace he thinks about now, which makes him feel very uncomfortable, and makes him miss his marching tent.

Shi Nai'an handled the malfeasance file, Hao Ren also patiently read it, some of them were indeed too severe, but it was not out of nowhere, the evidence of the corruption incident was conclusive, there was no big difficulty, and instructed the newly promoted Criminal Department Shangshu Luo Ben and the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Liao Yongan, if there are similar corruption cases in the future, they will be handled with this as a reference and will not be tolerated.

Shi Nai'an's Zhishi made Hao Ren's heart feel very empty, as if he had lost a lot of things at once, but Shi Nai'an wanted to write a book, and he was old, so it was impossible to press him on the table in the court, so it would be too inhumane.

Fortunately, Liao Yongan, Yao Guangxiao, Yu Tongyuan and other important ministers returned to Beijing together, and Hao Ren did not find it difficult to deal with the problem, after all, these are all old and capable cabinets with rich experience, and Hao Ren can do the problem in an orderly manner as long as he puts forward his own ideas.

Shi Nai'an told the old that led to a serious shortage of cabinet members, Yu Que sat in Fusang, Liu Bowen built a city in Jiankang, and the cabinet members were equal to three fewer at once.

Robben, as Shi Nai'an's apprentice, took over the master's position, which can be regarded as selling face to Shi Nai'an, but also because Robben was the earliest literati with Hao Ren, and was trained in Feidong as the head of the auxiliary army, and did not transport troops to Hao Ren on the battlefield.

"How's the battle going in the Northlands?" At the round table of the cabinet meeting, Hao Ren asked.

Mu Youcai, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stayed in Luzhou, and before he was imprisoned by Shi Nai'an three days ago, he was also the cabinet that discussed things with Shi Nai'an, and he was extremely familiar with the war situation in the north.

To put it bluntly, the internal strife of Meng Yuan was a struggle between the emperor and the crown prince, which derived from a war between two important supporters, Polo Timur supported Emperor Yuan Hui, and Wang Baobao supported the crown prince.

Emperor Yuan Hui finally restrained the infighting between the two generals, the prince's uncle Lao Di killed and framed Polo Timur, Emperor Yuan Hui issued an edict to deprive Polo Timur of his military power, and Polo Timur in anger actually raised troops to besiege Dadu, Emperor Yuan Hui was forced to have no choice but to exile Lao Disha and others, and appointed Polo Timur as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

Polo Timur was in power, defending the capital, and the infighting could have come to an end, but the prince fled from the capital, raised the king's troops, played the slogan of King Qin, and started a war with Polo Timur.

Emperor Yuan Hui had no way to manipulate the courtiers at this time, and in desperation, he killed Polo Timur and took Wang Baobao as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, hoping to quell the infighting.

Clinker, the contradiction between the emperor and the crown prince has been deep, the prince ordered Wang Baobao to break through the capital in one fell swoop, forced Emperor Yuan Hui to abdicate, let himself abdicate, Wang Baobao thought that Polo Timur was dead, refused to continue to use troops but retreated, the prince and Wang Baobao became enemies.

After Wang Baobao became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, he sent soldiers and horses from all walks of life to the south to crusade against Hao Ren, and seized Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi in the northwest.

"Haha!" Hao Ren heard that Meng Yuan's internal fighting was so fierce, and laughed and said: "Meng Yuan's internal friction is so serious, and defeating Meng Yuan is just around the corner!" ”

Since Hao Ren was attacked by Chen Youliang, and Li Chahan temporarily took the Bianliang dividing line, Hao Ren defeated Chen Youliang, Ming Yuzhen, Yuan Liang Wang, and Annan in the south, while the Mengyuan army fell into a protracted infighting, except for Wang Baobao's hatred of avenging his father-in-law, and Zhu Chongba of Shandong, Mengyuan's infighting has never stopped.

Li Chahan died, Polo Timur also died, and Hu Linchi also died, these were all relatively powerful generals of Meng Yuan, and they all died, saving Hao Ren a lot of trouble.

Li Chahan claimed to have wiped out millions of Red Turban troops in the world, and he had rare defeats in his life, Hao Ren was under Bianliang City, but he only had a draw with him, he died at the hands of the righteous army Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng, which made Hao Ren feel a little regretful, after all, a famous general like Li Chahan was not defeated in his own hands.

And Polo Timur, Hu Linchi and other Mengyuan tiger generals, Hao Ren has also fought with them many times, knowing that they are by no means idle, and they actually died in Meng Yuan's internal fighting, which can be regarded as a great help to Hao Ren.

"Your Majesty!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Mu Youcai said: "Xuzhou, Mengcheng, Bozhou and other places of the military and civilians, three consecutive years of bumper harvest, for the northern expedition to build the warehouse has been piled up with grain, the workshop production of weapons, has also been piled up in the treasury, His Majesty's southern expedition army triumphantly returned, should be carried by the prestige of a hundred battles, take the opportunity of Wang Baobao in the northwest Yongjun, the army of the Northern Expedition, in one fell swoop to break through the capital of Yuan, the Central Plains can be determined!" ”

"Don't worry! Don't worry! Hao Ren said with a smile: "As long as we don't exert external pressure on Meng Yuan, their internal fighting will not stop for a moment, the southern army is tired all the way, and it has not yet arrived in Luzhou at this time, and it needs to be repaired for two months, and when our army is repaired, it is not too late to raise the army to the north!" ”

Hao Ren looked at the map on the table, and suddenly remembered the troops of the Northern Expedition Middle Route Army attacking Goryeo, and raised his head and asked, "What is the current situation of Mao Jujing and Guan Duo in Goryeo?" ”

"Mao Jujing, Guan Duo's army refused to obey the orders of our dynasty, in Goryeo to do their own business, privately with the king of Goryeo to talk about what, Goryeo with the female family of wine temptation, taking advantage of the Red Turban Army slack, the army to attack and kill, the middle route army has been defeated at the end of last year, lost contact with the Yuque Lord in Fusang!" Mu Youcai said.

The Middle Route Army of the Northern Expedition was trapped in the bitter cold of the north and had nowhere to return, and once invaded Goryeo twice.

The first was a tentative attack to explore the path, and after attacking some cities, it was beaten out, but it was successful in exploring the way for the middle route army.

The second time the Central Route Army attacked with all its troops, occupied a large area of Goryeo, and fought until the foot of the capital of Goryeo, the king of Goryeo was afraid, sued for peace with the Red Turban Army, and rewarded the Central Route Army with beautiful women and wine.

There are more than 100,000 people in the Middle Route Army, how many beauties does Goryeo have to send to make the Middle Route Army indulge like this, Hao Ren has no time to think about it, he thinks of what he did in Annan, and a layer of cold sweat has formed on his back.

Almost in the footsteps of the Red Turban Army in Annan!

Hao Ren did not feel sorry for the arrival of the hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army, the army passed, thousands of miles of red land, even if it was barely close to Hao Ren's command, many of the cities it burned in the north would also become a stain on Hao Ren in Middle-earth, Hao Ren did not want to do this.

What's more, with Meng Yuan's internal friction being so serious, Hao Ren's soldiers have plenty of food, and it seems that he is going on a solo expedition to the north, and there is no pressure at all. (To be continued.) )
