Chapter 317: The Northern Expedition

Chen Yuan returned to the house and told Zhu Di that he was going to conquer Tatar in person, Jian Yixuan and Geng Cairuo were surprised, and they were sad after being surprised. They already knew that His Majesty would personally recruit him, and besides, Xianggong would definitely follow.

Although I had been prepared for a long time, it was still very uncomfortable when it was time to part. If she and Geng Cai get together less and leave more, Jian Yixuan has only been married for less than half a year.

Fan Niangzi returned to Nanjing a month after Chen Yuan's wedding, first, because she was not used to the cold weather in the north, and secondly, she wanted to go back to Nanjing to take her granddaughter.

In the evening, the kitchen made a meal, and the three of them ate together.

Although the food is very rich, there is no appetite.

"Xianggong, can you not go?" Although Geng Cairuo knew that it was impossible, he still hoped to ask.

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, the emperor did not dare to disobey.

Jian Yixuan was calmer: "Xianggong, what are the chances of His Majesty winning this time?" ”

"There should be no problem in winning." Chen Yuan replied.

"But Your Majesty's body—"

Chen Yuan was silent and did not speak.

Jian Yixuan knew that even if he could win against Arutai, with His Majesty's body, he would have to go deep into the north, drink horses and grasslands, and be bumpy and displaced, and nine times out of ten he would not be able to hold on.

Chen Yuan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm a civil official, so I don't have to charge into battle." There will be no danger if you follow Your Majesty. ”

"I'm good at martial arts, I wear men's clothes, and I'll go with you."

Take Cairuo to the battlefield? Chen Yuan refused when he thought about it, the battlefield sword has no eyes, that kind of suffering is not something that ordinary women can bear. And there are rules in the army that there can be no women.

There were men everywhere, and I couldn't protect her at all.

Geng Cairuo wiped away his tears and said: "It's okay if I don't go, but this time we go north to conquer Hu, we also have to make an appointment with you for three chapters." ”

Lord Chen smiled and nodded: "Our Geng Nuxia, please speak." ”

"Sister Yixuan, let's talk about it." Geng Cairuo kicked the ball to Jian Yixuan, Dong Mingyan was in Nanjing, she was the lady in charge.

Jian Yixuan nodded and said gently: "Xianggong, the things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, Tatar has been preparing for several years, it is definitely not simple, Xianggong must not be strong." For the sake of our family, you must take care of your health and do not rush to the front line. Save yourself in advance. ”

His wife was extremely serious, Chen Yuan felt concerned, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, I'm very timid, I will hide behind everything, and I won't be strong." ”

"Second, when you have time, remember to write a letter back home." Yi Xuan said with red eyes: "Let us know your news and know that you are safe." ”

In March, the family letter is worth 10,000 gold, and when it comes to the battlefield, the fast horse is used to deliver the military report, how can there be a family letter, this is probably difficult. But Chen Yuan still agreed.

"As for the third point." Geng Da Vinegar snorted, and said coldly: "If you fight, you will fight, don't spend your mind elsewhere, if you bring us a Mongolian woman back, hum, you look good!" ”

"How so?" Chen Yuan hurriedly smiled and promised, "Cairuo, you are too careful, I am here to fight, not to play, the army is full of big men, every day is to survive and fight, where are the women, not to mention, we are enemies with them, as long as we fight, how can we welcome relatives." ”

"It's not that I'm too careful." Geng Cairuo straightened his clothes and snorted, "Look at the family, I have two sisters now, and you are still unclear with Tang Sai'er." ”

Is Xianggong and Tang Sai'er unclear? Jian Yixuan was curious. Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Yi Xuan, Cai Ruo, you have to believe me, I really have nothing to do with her." ”

"Nothing? Even the kids—"

"Child, what child?" The second monk Chen Yuanzhang was puzzled.

Geng Cairuo knew that he was speechless, remembered Tang Sai'er's plea, and snorted: "It's nothing, I'll talk about it casually, you say that if you don't have it, you don't have it, Tang Sai'er gave you clothes." ”

This is really jumping into the Yellow River and can't be washed, Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, Tang Sai'er is so dignified, why did he give himself clothes.

Jian Yixuan said: "Sister Geng, Xianggong was captured by Tang Sai'er and went to Shandong, which was extremely dangerous, and finally Xianggong came back safely. On my last trip to Shandong, it was also with her help that Xianggong was safe. I think it's profit-driven, and there's nothing. Even if Tang Sai'er has any ideas, her identity is there, and Xianggong is rational and will not be out of line. ”

Geng Cairuo snorted secretly, what kind of identity problem, he was a descendant of Jingjing back then, and he was also bold. But it's hard to tell the truth. and said sourly: "Sister Yixuan, don't you know, Xianggong is very attentive, not to mention your dowry maid Qiuyue, always secretly staring at our Xianggong, there is also a Chunhua sister in Nanjing, ouch, Chunhua Qiuyue, tsk, it's all done, Xianggong, isn't it." ”

"No, no." Chen Yuan was dripping with cold sweat, this vinegar jar is too good at association. Hey, what is Qiuyue secretly watching me do? Am I really handsome? Wang Ba's anger exploded?

Of course, before he had time to think about it, Cai Ruo said again: "You'd better be honest, hum." Don't talk about it, it's late at night, sister, you can rest, I'm going to sleep. After she finished speaking, she stretched her waist and didn't allow Chen Yuan to speak, so she went back to the room by herself.

Chen Yuan and Jian Yixuan talked about some things about the court situation in detail, and they rested after another hour.

Early the next morning, in a daze, I heard the official come in and report: "Master, master, Jinyi Wei has commanded Lord Yuan to come to you!" ”

Yuan Bin, he is looking for himself?

Chen Yuan was puzzled and went to a tavern called "Ke Come Again". After he became a commander, he was busy with official business, so he met privately in this tavern.

Yuan Bin had been waiting there early. Seeing Chen Yuanlai, he got straight to the point: "Brother Chen, the matter you asked me to investigate has been settled." ”

What to check? Chen Yuan was stunned at first, what was the matter, and suddenly remembered that he asked Yuan Bin to help investigate Li Yuyi's sister. I don't report my hopes, and I almost forget about them.

"Found the insider of the year?"

"Yes." Yuan Bin nodded and said, "After more than half a year of investigation, the hard work pays off. Because Li Yuyi's sister had a special status back then, she fell ill and died on the way to Nanjing, and Huang Fu was buried. However, a little eunuch named Xiao Liuzi, who buried her at that time, is now helping in the Jingshan Room, sympathizing with her plight, so he specially planted a poplar tree for her relatives to find. ”

"Where?"

"According to what he said, in a place called Xiaoyuan Village in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, I sent someone to look for it according to what he said, and there really is, this is the ornament on her sister's body back then." Yuan Bin handed him a piece of jade pendant, the jade pendant is very light in color, oval, and carved with Tang Sancai, which is more peculiar.

In the second year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty sent Minister Li Qi to Annan. Li Qi believed that he was an envoy of a great power, arrogant and rude, believing that Annan was "isolated in the southwest, not Chinese, and with different customs" and regarded Annan as a barbarian. Therefore, Emperor Hu Jichen wrote poems praising Annan's humanity and believed that Annan was no worse than China. The name of the poem is: Answering the northerners to ask about the customs of Annam.

If you want to ask about Annan, Annan customs are pure.

The well-dressed Tang system, the courtesy of the Han monarchs.

The jade urn opens a new wine, and the golden knife cuts the fine scales.

In February and March every year, peach and plum are generally spring.

Most of Annam's culture stayed in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Chen Yuan looked at the jade pendant carefully, and at the same time found Li Yuyi and told her about it.

When Li Yuyi saw the jade pendant, his eyes instantly turned red, and he took off a jade pendant from his neck, and the two pieces were exactly the same. Sure enough, it's his sister.。

"Where are you going?"

"My sister, of course."

"I asked Lord Yuan to send someone to take you, and you can't find it alone."

Li Yuyi nodded in agreement and went straight to Jiangxi.

In the court, Zhu Di summoned his ministers and said sharply: "Since I ascended the throne, I have sent troops several times to pacify the north and expel the remnants of the Yuan. However, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the emperor and ancestors instructed not to expand the territory at will, because if you get the land, you can't get the people, I think so. However, Arutai and Dehuan, who came to me at the end of the road, and plundered my Ming border after raising enough vitality and plundering my Ming border, is tolerable, which is unbearable. I personally led my troops to wait for him outside the fortress, frustrated his spirit, killed the first offender, and completely wiped out the remnants. ”

Without Xia Yuanji, Fang Bin, Wu Zhong and others, Yang Shiqi and the others knew that His Majesty was hard-hearted, and they could only echo casually: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Zhu Di then ordered An Yuan to wait for Liu Sheng, Sui Anbo Chen Ying to command the Chinese army, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng, Baoan Hou Meng Ying to command the left post, Yangwu Hou Xue Lu, Xin Ningbo Tan Zhong to lead the right post, Zuo Ye by the British Gong Zhang Fu, An Pingbo Li An to command, right Ye Ming Chengshan Hou Wang Tong, Xing'an Bo Xu Heng to command. He also ordered Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao and others to be the forwards, starting from Gansu and attacking the western part of Tatar first.

In April, Zhu Di appointed Yang Pu as a scholar of Huagai Palace, filled the vacancy after Liu Guan left, assisted the prince in Beijing, drove from Beijing, arrived at Tumuhe three days later, and ordered Chen Yuan to participate in military decision-making and discuss the matter of breaking the enemy.
