The whole of Datong has entered a state of war in an all-round way.

Everything is being prepared for the coming war.

Countless grain and grass supplies arrived from the south and were then distributed to the army.

Half of the 1,200 artillery pieces were also escorted to Xuanfu Town in the east by the Jinyi guards with the soldiers and horses in the city.

The scouts outside the customs set out wave after wave to investigate the movements of the Tatars in the steppe.

Everyone is busy, and no one can be idle.

"I thought that when Tie Hyun came, I would be able to rest, but who would have thought that I would be busier than before."

In a hall in the front palace of the Acting Prince's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi leaned on a chair, looking at the hill piled up in front of him, and it was still increasing in height at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said helplessly.

Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands together and stood in front of a huge map of the border and grassland.

Countless small red and blue flags have been planted on the Kanyu, and thin lines connect these flags together.

"He has a reputation for being slaughtered, and if he doesn't do anything after he comes, he will make the army suspicious."

Zhu Gaochi said casually, and according to the latest news sent back from outside the customs, he planted a small flag in the exact position.

Then, Zhu Gaochi took a few steps back, and looked at the latest situation of the two parties that he had sorted out quite proudly.

"Thanks to the heavy snowfall last year, it was difficult for the Tatars to penetrate deep into the far north, so that the distance of our army's subsequent march could be shortened."

Zhu Gaochi said as he spoke, and he had already changed his posture.

Place your left hand under the elbow of your right arm and support your chin with your right hand.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from behind Zhu Gaochi.

After a short sigh of relief, Zhu Yunxi held his own treasure seal of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty with both hands, and covered it heavily on a document presented by Tie Xuan.

He tilted his head a little casually to look at the little fat standing in front of Kanyu, and muttered weakly in his mouth.

"You didn't take into account that our army could only wait for the snow on the grasslands to melt and the roads to harden before they could go north. If this were the case, the Tatars would have been able to continue their escape to the far north. ”

Zhu Gaochi smacked his lips, his brows furrowed slightly.

After half a ring, he said slowly: "I have forgotten to consider this, if this is the case, then before the army leaves the pass and goes north, it is necessary to send a few other cavalry, led by experienced generals in the army, into the steppe, and go around to the front of the Tatars." ”

Zhu Yunxi hummed, and then, as if thinking of something, stood up in his chair, leaned forward and bowed his head in the hill-like recital.

It didn't take long for him to find a piece of music he wanted.

"Tie Dingshi, together with the officials of various ministries and departments, as well as the generals in the army, have come out together and decided to send three troops and horses around to the front of the Tatars to block them."

Zhu Gaochi immediately turned around: "Who are they?" ”

"On the Datong side is the Liangguo Gong Lanyu, and on the Xuanfu Town side is the Yingguo Gong Fu Youde. There is also a road of soldiers and horses, which is led by Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song. ”

Boom!

There was another muffled thud.

Zhu Yunxi explained that Tie Xuan and the others had negotiated and determined that they would lead the troops north in advance, make a detour to intercept the three candidates of the Tatar Department, and easily changed the Baoyin of the imperial grandson on a document.

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "Actually let the three old princes lead the troops to intercept the Tatar department, this battle is really extravagant, and it is rare in the thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Yunxi was noncommittal.

No one can say that this time's Northern Expedition lineup is not extravagant.

If it was in the past, whether it was Lan Yu, Fu Youde, or Feng Sheng, they could all command a northward expedition alone, but now they can only lead the troops to make a detour to intercept the Tatar troops as a surprise soldier all the way.

"I think that before I can go into battle to kill the enemy, I can accumulate some credit for my children and grandchildren. Uncle and grandfather said that he would only kill the enemy in his life, but he just listened to it. Zhu Yunxi said casually.

Boom.

And he changed his own seal on a document.

Zhu Gaochi's face showed suspicion: "What did you find?" What did they do without you? ”

"I'm not hiding anything." Zhu Yunxi shook his head and explained: "It's just that a few days ago, I reviewed the list of generals in the army and found that Lan Chun was also among the generals of this northern expedition, and he was on the errand of a thousand household officials. The meritorious families in the DPRK and China also have their own children who have been pulled into battle. ”

Zhu Gaochi blinked: "This is to come to gild?" ”

There has always been a habit of Lao Tzu taking the juniors of the family into battle together, one is because they can work together, and the other is to pull the juniors.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a smile and said: "They are obedient, they don't dare to just come to make a show, they are all in the list of the front to fight, and none of them are left behind." ”

Boom.

There was another muffled sound.

Zhu Gaochi's brows couldn't help but jump a few times, and he turned his mouth and said, "In the direction of the nine sides, is the third uncle and my father leading the troops?" ”

Zhu Yunxi snorted: "The soldiers and horses going north are all led by a few uncles. Tie Xuan is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, but the affairs of military affairs still have to be handed over to someone who knows the army to oversee, and he probably has to make decisions and coordinate all directions, focusing on post-war matters. ”

Bang bang bang.

Three muffled sounds rang out in quick succession.

Zhu Yunxi put down the heavy treasure seal in his hand, clasped his hands together, and slowly turned his somewhat stiff wrists.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, looked at the pile of unstamped chapter documents, and couldn't help but shrink his head.

Just as he was about to continue fiddling with his share of embarrassment.

A voice that he had expected immediately sounded.

"Tired."

"You can seal it."

"Don't let me find a chance when I turn around, or Tie Keystone will wait to die of exhaustion."

After scolding and scolding, Zhu Yunxi already stood up with anger and walked past Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened: "Hey! That's your grandson's treasure seal! ”

"I'll go find something else to do, you get started first."

Zhu Yunxi didn't look back, so he had to go outside the house.

However, when he had just reached the door, he was standing behind the threshold, and his feet had not yet been raised.

Outside, a group of figures hurriedly pressed towards him.

Tie Xuan, who has been in Datong City for several days, brought a group of civil and military officials, each holding a small pile of chapter documents in his hand.

Tie Xuan saw that Zhu Yunxi was behind the door, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"The minister sees His Royal Highness, it's really a coincidence, the minister still has a few cantata documents here that need to be reviewed and sealed by His Highness."

Zhu Gaochi, who was reluctantly sitting in front of the case just now, holding the treasure seal in both hands, looked at the officials who walked in with wide eyes.

"How many books can this be called?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes already flashed with the look of wanting to kill Tie Xuan on the spot, he pressed the treasure seal in his hand heavily on a piece of music that had just been spread out in front of him, and then glared at Tie Xuan at the door: "Tie Dingshi, did you mean it!" ”

Zhu Yunxi, who wanted to let himself go for a while, turned around helplessly, and retreated under Tie Xuan's smile.

Tie Xuan was full of spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "Why did the county king say this, the minister just divided everything more carefully." This is also done so that the people below do not dare to slack off. ”

Boom!

Zhu Gaochi closed his mouth tightly, holding the treasure seal in both hands, and stamped it heavily on another document.

Zhu Yunxi was on the side, looking solemnly at Tie Xuan, who suddenly put down his business and ran over in person: "What's the matter with Keystone, you actually came here today." ”

Tie Xuan immediately turned around, bowed his head, and clasped his hands: "The minister has a matter, I hope to get the permission of His Royal Highness before it can be implemented." ”

After speaking, he had already taken out a piece of music with a delicate cover from his sleeve.

Zhu Yunxi took it casually and opened the cover.

Tie Xuan has already explained: "The minister hopes that His Royal Highness can agree, and if there is a leader in the Tatar department who is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he will be crowned king, given land, and built a guard." If there are Tatar herdsmen who come to vote, they will be rewarded with Han land and compiled into the yellow book.

If they are unwilling, they ask His Highness for permission to buy cattle, sheep, and furs on the grassland at three times the market price. A bazaar was set up at the border to sell salt, iron, tea, silk and other goods. ”

Zhu Gaochi, who was banging and covering the big seal, immediately raised his head and stared at Tie Xuan, who had several conspiracies at the exit.

"You are going to sell iron to the Tatars!"

Zhu Yunxi was silent, just thinking quietly.

Tie Xuan opened his mouth to explain: "This is a conspiracy, the minister wants to let the Tatar department centrifuge, and make the grassland herdsmen suspicious." And if they sell iron to the Tatars, they will not be able to use it in a short time to build weapons to fight our army. ”

As he spoke, Tie Hyun pulled out two more copies of the pieces he had prepared in advance from his sleeve.

"Your Highness, here is a request for His Majesty to canonize Mahamu of the Warat Department and Ab I of the Tatar Department as kings, please sign and seal it and send it to Yingtian."

Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly.

"That's right."

After that, Zhu Yunxi reached out again to take the two notes.

He turned and walked over to the desk, spread out the three parts, and then looked up at Chubby.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head silently: "The thing of canonizing Mahamu and Ab only as kings can be done, so no matter how big the effect is, at least it will make the Warat Department and the Tatar Department centrifuge and be suspicious of each other."

But the sale of iron to the Tatar Ministry is still to be discussed. It is a conspiracy to hollow out the foundation of the Tatar department.

But the soldiers below didn't understand, and they only felt that they were fighting bloodily for the court in front. And we, on the other hand, are still trading with the Tatars. ”

Tie Xuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The scouts who came out of the front have reported that the Tatar Ministry has known that our dynasty is going to use troops on the grassland.

They are already gathering tribes scattered all over the steppe to recruit soldiers and horses to fight our dynasty in the steppe.

At this time, it is to sell some iron to them at a loss, so what's the matter?

It is impossible for the Tatars to have the same innumerable craftsmen as the imperial court to create more than a thousand cannons.

And once they are short of food and grass, the Tatars, who have gathered countless soldiers and horses, will inevitably fall into civil strife as long as they have so many defeats on the battlefield. ”

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to stop what he hadn't said yet.

And Zhu Yunxi looked at Tie Xuan and asked, "Do the people below think this plan is feasible?" ”

Tie Xuan nodded: "Liang Guogong said that how many things the imperial court is giving out now, he will double it when he turns back." ”

Bang bang bang!

Three muffled noises rang out in the room again.

Zhu Yunxi put together the stamped music and handed it to Tie Xuan.

"Go ahead and do it."

Tie Xuan took the song and bent down: "Minister, retire." ”

"The ministers are leaving."

The civil and military officials who followed Tie Xuan also bowed down and retired one after another.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Tie Xuan, who was coming and walking fast, and was annoyed.

Wait until Tie Hyun's back disappears from the sight of the two.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi burst out laughing.

"The old man will choose people, look at our slaughter just now, if I didn't know what was going on, I would have thought that my Ming royal family had been overturned by him."

Zhu Yunxi had a smile on his face, and his hands were clasped on the table.

Zhu Gaochi snorted twice, and finally sighed.

"I'm angry that he can change his approach, but he doesn't want to be an official well. Now that he is out like this, there will never be his place in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

Zhu Yunxi also sighed faintly.

"Keystone Aigo, the heart of the fist, vividly."

The faint voice has not subsided for a long time.

Cai Tie Xuan seems to have a tough attitude, but he came with a group of civil and military personnel.

These things fell in the eyes of those people, and it was naturally Tie Dingshi, who had already relied on the emperor's will to hold the right to speak on the Northern Expedition in his own hands.

At that time, no matter what he did, no matter what happened on the grassland outside the Guanwai at that time, it had nothing to do with the wise and benevolent imperial grandson.

"He's made up his mind to be a lonely minister."

Zhu Gaochi sighed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Yunxi snorted and turned to sit aside.

"Since this is decided, let him be a lonely minister."

……

"Let's go out this time, just to prepare to go deep alone."

"We have enough dry food, and there can still be military rations in front of us, and after going out for a distance, we can only rely on looting the Tatars to eat."

"Everyone should bring two copies of their swords and guns, and three copies of their bows and arrows."

"Lao Tzu only has one sentence."

"Follow Lao Tzu and kill the wolf cubs together, the spoils are all yours, and Lao Tzu's military exploits will also be distributed to you."

"But if you have soft feet and want to let Lao Tzu pull it back, then nothing has anything to do with you."

Outside the city of Datong.

On the banks of the Royal River.

It's still the familiar training ground on the earthen platform.

Lan Yu was wearing armor on his body, with one hand on his waist and the other on the knife, he was leading the war horse in front of him, and the officers and soldiers who had completed the equipment kept roaring.

In the military formation, there was a burst of laughter.

Everyone was waiting for the final military order to be issued.

Sapphire turned to look at the city.

At the head of the city, there was a group of figures.

He knew that among these figures, there were the emperor's grandson, the person who slaughtered Tie Dingshi, and many generals who had to go out to fight the Tatars head-on.

Lan Yu's face perked, and he struggled to pull out the saber at his waist.

"Get on the horse!"

"Expedition!"
