Chapter 338: Another Expedition
() Although it is said that it is also an expedition, the mood this time is still very different, after all, it is not as enthusiastic and eager to make achievements as before, but now even if you step on the war horse and hold the reins, you always feel that your heart is empty. Because he didn't know the specific location of the Northern Yuan Department, Zhu Di decided to move to Daning first, but after all, it was the fief of the seventeenth brother Zhu Quan, so it was better to say hello to him first, so he sent a messenger to Ning Wangfu to send him a letter.
The army went to Daning'an and camped, came to the Chinese military tent, and let Chai Jingnan, who came with him, rest at will, and then Zhu Di asked someone to find the two pioneers, and he began to spread out the map and check the terrain distribution in this area.
Looking at it, Zheng He came in from the outside and said,
"Fourth master, they're here."
"Let them in."
knew that this "they" referred to the two pioneer generals Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, and Zhu Di did not raise his head.
As he spoke, the two lifted the curtain and stepped in, bowing down and saying,
"The last general will see His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"Get up, it's all your own family, you don't have to be so polite."
Zhu Di waved his hand and asked them to flatten down, Zheng He moved two chairs for the two to sit down, poured two more glasses of water and handed them over.
After sitting down, the two of them looked very excited, and the two pairs of eyes looked eagerly and expectantly at their Royal Highness, especially Zhang Yu, while drinking water, their eyes were still unwilling to take their eyes off Zhu Di's body, so they kept staring, and when the other party raised his head and swept his gaze to him, his face instantly turned red, and he looked a little funny.
Sure enough, he was still with his own soldiers, and his mood would become cheerful, and Zhu Di also thought the two of them were very interesting, so he said,
"Two generals, this expedition, the Lone King has an important mission that you still need to complete."
"Your Highness ...... as commanded"
As soon as Zhu Di's words were finished, the two of them were in a hurry to respond, but Zhang Yu, who was still holding a glass of water, was choked and squirted out of a mouthful of water, coughing again and again, making everyone cry and laugh. Zhu Di had no choice but to smile and say,
"Don't panic, this king is just saying hello to the two of you first, not asking you to leave now, so don't rush yet."
"The last general, what a ......"
Zhang Yu took the handkerchief handed over by Zheng He, wiped the water sprayed on his chest, and said with a red face.
Zhu Neng looked at him and smiled, turned to Zhu Di and said,
"I wonder what His Highness's plans are?"
"After the king has given you two a rest, three thousand elite fast horses and light horsemen will be sent out among your men and horses, and they will rest in place, ready to wait for the order to attack."
Zhu Di looked at him seriously.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng nodded together and agreed,
"The Admiral understands!"
"Oh, yes,"
Zhu Di remembered something again, and said,
"Just now, the brothers in the Mongolian camp brought a lot of beef to this king, and you can bring some back and share it with everyone."
"Your Highness!"
Knowing that this is the characteristic of His Royal Highness King Yan, if there are good things, they will definitely eat and share them with the brothers in the army, so the two of them were not polite, thanked them and turned around and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army.
Not long after the two henchmen left, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning, and just wanted Zheng He to go out to see what was going on, but he saw the tent curtain lifted, and a young man in a brocade robe and a golden crown jumped in and said loudly,
"Fourth brother! Didn't expect me to come?! ”
"Tenth, seventeenth brother?"
Seeing that the person who came was not someone else, it was Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, thinking that this was also someone's fiefdom, Zhu Di had no choice but to bypass the handsome case and greet him.
But before he could speak again, Zhu Quan had already pounced and hugged him.
"Fourth brother, little brother misses you so much!"
"Fourth uncle!"
Chai Jingnan, who had not moved, suddenly appeared beside the two brothers at this time, staring at Zhu Quandao with a pair of big eyes,
"Who is this guy?!"
"W-Guy?!"
Hearing someone call himself like this, Zhu Quan also turned his head strangely to look at the young man in front of him and asked,
"Fourth brother, who is this kid? How dare you say I'm 'this guy'! ”
"Seventeenth brother, this kid is a personal guard of the fourth brother, and he is usually a little conniving, so he is so impolite,"
Zhu Di hurriedly said, and then turned to Chai Jingnan,
"Jing'er, Hugh is rude, this is the seventeenth brother of the fourth uncle, His Royal Highness King Ning."
"Oh, it's your brother, Fourth Uncle."
Chai Jingnan listened, and Fang took a step back with some resentment.
Zhu Quan listened to the introduction of the fourth brother, and said with a weird smile on his face,
"Fourth brother, is he calling you 'Fourth Uncle', in this case, you should call me 'Seventeenth Uncle', isn't it?"
"I don't want it!"
Hearing his words, Chai Jingnan turned around angrily and walked to the side, and sat back on his marching bed again, closed his eyes and rested.
Zhu Quan no longer provoked him, and pulled Zhu Di's arm and said coquettishly,
"Fourth brother, is it okay to go with your little brother on this expedition?"
"It's not good, my father just asked the fourth brother to go, and he didn't say to let you go."
Zhu Di resolutely dismissed his words.
Zhu Quan was a little dissatisfied,
"Then why can you take Brother Seven, but you can't take me?"
"Your seventh brother?"
Zhu Di was stunned,
"When will I take my seventh brother, oh ......"
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when I was indeed fighting against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, I asked Zhu Yu to follow, but it was at the behest of my father, so I couldn't help but say funny,
"That's according to the holy decree of your father, and you don't have it now, and it's not allowed to leave the fief privately, you know?"
"Alas!"
Zhu Quan sighed and said,
"Little brother just wants to learn how to fight with the fourth brother. Why don't you disguise myself as a soldier and secretly follow you without letting others know? ”
"Not good,"
Zhu Di once again rejected his proposal,
"You are the dignified His Royal Highness King Ning, how can you hide your eyes and ears? really let my father know that I paid it back, you are not afraid, I am still afraid. ”
"Alright, alright, I see,"
Zhu Quan had no choice but to say in a tone of renunciation,
"Alas, then Fourth Brother, when you come back, do you still have to pass by me? When the time comes, can you come to see the defense of the little brother, is there anything wrong with it, and give the little brother some pointers? ”
"This ......"
didn't want to agree, but Zhu Di suddenly thought of Duoyan Sanwei under the seventeenth brother, and his heart moved, so he nodded,
"Okay, when the fourth brother finishes this battle, he will definitely come to your defense area to take a look, seventeenth brother, you have to wait for the fourth brother and me."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Zhu Quan nodded happily and said,
"By the way, fourth brother, junior brother, I also brought a lot of meat and military supplies, please treat the brothers of the three armies."
"Then thank you Seventeenth Brother."
Zhu Di smiled at him, and then ordered his own soldiers to distribute the reward items brought by Zhu Quan.
Sending Zhu Quan away, Zheng He said softly,
"Fourth master, you can also take a rest, although the specific time has not yet been decided, according to your style, the moment of sending troops may come at any time, it is better to take advantage of the free time to rest."
"Well, okay."
Knowing that he was right, Zhu Di came to his bed, folded his clothes and lay down to rest.
