Zhu Biao is a person who attaches great importance to the way of teaching, seeing Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng said to himself a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned the conversation and asked: "The matter of conquering the Mobei Yuan Court is already like an arrow on the string, and it has to be sent." Who do you think is the right person to be the commander in charge of the army? ”

Qi Tai, the squire of the military department, has been thinking about this matter in his heart since he came down from the early dynasty, and he has already had a plan in his heart, and when he was about to speak, he heard Huang Zicheng say in a deep voice: "In the view of Weichen, General Lan Yu is loyal to His Royal Highness, and this time he led the army to attack Gyeongju, and made great contributions to the Northern Expeditionary Army's recruitment of Nahachu's subordinates, and he is a suitable candidate for this time to command the army to conquer Mobei Yuanting." Although he didn't like Lan Yu's rebellious temperament in his heart, he remembered that he was loyal to the crown prince Zhu Biao, so he strongly agreed that Lan Yu should be the commander to complete the final blow to the Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur and establish this miraculous feat.

Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, and said slowly: "General Lanyu is brave and good at fighting, loyal to His Royal Highness, but he has always only served as a deputy, and has never been given the opportunity to make contributions alone. As he spoke, he secretly thought to himself: The generals and commanders of the army have their own tempers, and it is not surprising that Lan Yu is quite reckless and rude when he speaks, but his loyalty to His Highness is unquestionable. At this time, although Lan Yu was already a second-class official, he served as the governor of Liaodong, and he was also an important position in the army. After all, it is not as good as Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde, the three princes of the country, and their prestige in the court is famous, and even compared to Mu Ying, who guarded Yunnan, the real power is much inferior. It is better to take the opportunity of conquering the Mobei Yuan Court, let him make meritorious contributions, and at the same time lead heavy troops to defend the northern provinces in the future, he can also guard against King Yan and King Ning.

Qi Tai and Gao Wei listened to Fang Fang, and Huang and the others looked at each other unconsciously, frowning in unison, and they were quite worried in their hearts. It turned out that although the two of them were also scholars from the imperial examination, one served as a squire in the military department, and the other served as the governor of the left army, and they were far more familiar with the affairs of the military conquest and the temper and personality of the generals and commanders of the army. Oriental || .com at this time, I heard that these two Wenchen, who had never known soldiers and were regarded as the right-hand man by His Royal Highness the Prince, always liked to point fingers at the battlefield battles, and they were inevitably slightly displeased.

Although Zhuo Jing is extraordinary, he also knows that he is a civil official of the household department, and he does not know anything about military affairs, so he is unwilling to speak falsely, so he simply remains silent and listens to their opinions.

Qi Tai was silent, and secretly thought to himself: "The two gentlemen of Huang Fang, I admire the kung fu of learning, but the interlacing is like a mountain, this matter of leading troops to fight is not a conjecture, and it is not a fluke." His Royal Highness specially invited me and Gao Wei here today, and I think it was also out of prudence. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Gao Wei, and bowed his head slightly, asking him to speak bluntly.

It turned out that Qi Tai knew that although this high-ranking official position was far less powerful than his own military squire, his knowledge of military affairs was far above him, so he wanted him to explain it.

Gao Wei saw Qi Tai's expression, and without hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "Weichen and Fang, Huang and the two adults see differently, and think that General Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, should be in command to complete this crucial final battle. Speaking of this, he groaned slightly, and continued: "Two gentlemen, it has been said that General Lan Yu is loyal to His Royal Highness, and it is a little unfair to General Fu Youde. Although General Fu Youde used to serve in the late Yuan Dynasty, he had served for Liu Futong, Ming Yuzhen, and Chen Youliang, not since the beginning of the uprising, he followed His Majesty's old Huaixi generals, but since he joined His Majesty's Red Turban Army, he fought in Poyang Lake, pacified Xishu, pacified Yunnan, and made great contributions repeatedly. ”

Gao Wei said this, took a sip of the teacup, and continued in a deep voice: "In the fifth year of Hongwu, Ying Guogong only led 5,000 cavalry to attack Xiliang and defeated the Yuan general Lost Thorn Han. Attack Yongchang (now part of Gansu), defeat Yuan Taiwei Duoer Zhiba, and kill thousands of enemies. Attacking the Yuan army in Soolin Mountain (now north of Jiuquan, Gansu), capturing Pingzhang of the Yuan Dynasty alive and killing more than 500 enemies. On June 3, he attacked Ganzhou, and the Yuan general Shangdu Donkey surrendered. On June 11, attacking Yiji Nailu (now Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia), the Yuan army garrison Buyan Timur Kaicheng surrendered, Bedu Mountain met the main force of the Yuan army of Yuanqi Wang Duoer, defeated the Yuan army of tens of thousands, captured 27 Pingzhang Changganu people, more than 100,000 horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and only Yuanqi Wang Duoer fled alone. General Fu led his troops to Guazhou (present-day Anxi, Gansu), defeated the local Yuan army, and captured a large amount of booty such as cattle and sheep. Everyone, just imagine, although my Ming Dynasty is a famous general, only with 5,000 cavalry, seven battles and seven victories, annihilating the enemy and surrendering tens of thousands of Yuan troops, with cavalry battles, the Yuan army is best at the tactics, dozens of battles, hundreds of battles of the main general, can you count how many? It turned out that he served as the governor of the Left Army, and he was very familiar with the achievements of the generals in the court, and he heard Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng's words, quite a little with the pedantic concept of loyal ministers and not the second master, looking at Yingguo Gong Fu Youde, he was very unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but refute it.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng heard Gao Wei's words and reprimanded himself for his pedantic treatment of people and things, even if he was slightly unhappy in his heart, he could only be silent, and secretly thought to himself: Although Gao Wei's words are embarrassing, but what he said is also true, among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng have all been defeated in the hands of the Yuan army, and even the unruly Lan Yu has suffered a lot in the hands of Wang Baobao, a fierce general of the Yuan Dynasty. Invincible.

Gao Wei thought that there was a taboo between Fang Cai's own words, stood up, bowed to the crown prince Zhu Biao and said: "Weichen's words are too presumptuous, and I also ask His Highness to punish the crime." ”

Zhu Biao shook his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Although Chen Youliang in the past was once his father's sworn enemy, he was also a generation of heroes who were committed to expelling the Tartars and restoring our Han people's country, and there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a rebel. General Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, although he served under Chen Youliang and other righteous soldiers, you must not forget that from beginning to end, he never served the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty for the sake of glory and wealth. ”

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and a few others could hear Zhu Biao's words, and they were all happy and convinced, and they all bowed down to say yes.

Zhu Biao sighed and continued: "There are more than 200,000 Yuan troops in Mobei, and our Northern Expedition army is bound to dispatch more than 200,000. Although Lan Yu is also good at fighting, after all, he is still young and has never served as a coach, so in my opinion, it is more suitable for Ying Guogong. ”

Gao Wei saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also more supportive of Fu Youde leading the army to the north, and after a little silence, he said slowly: "Although General Fu Youde is loyal to the country, he has no choice but to take the initiative to ask for help today before the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, but he is a little too upright. Speaking of this, after a pause, he continued: "Since Ying Guogong took the initiative to ask to lead the army to the battle, if His Majesty gets along with His Highness alone and asks how you think of the commander of the Northern Expedition army, His Highness had better not strongly recommend Ying Guogong, but do the opposite and let Lan Yu lead the army to the battle." He has excellent knowledge, and knows that when Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu dealt with military affairs, he was very assertive, and often moved the capital to Beiping when he was discussing today, and severely punished the students of the country Zijian to override public opinion. As long as he recognizes something, even the most trusted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, such as the crown prince Zhu Biao, is absolutely difficult to change.

Fang, Huang and the others sighed slightly in their hearts when they heard him say this. Although Gao Wei's words were not painful, but when the dynasty was discussing the major affairs of the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Court this morning, the unfathomable attitude of His Majesty the Emperor was for what it was, and they still knew it and watched the fire.

Zhu Biao naturally understood the meaning of Gao Wei's words, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart when he heard the words, and quietly thought: At present, I have not yet ascended the throne, and I have to be so worried about talking to my father.

At this moment, a young man who was about thirteen or fourteen years old with a bowl of steaming and black medicine in both hands slowly walked into the study, it was the son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the grandson of the emperor Zhu Yunwen.

It turned out that Zhu Biao's health has not been very good, Zhu Yunwen was deeply influenced by Fang Xiaoru and other Confucian scholars, and he attached great importance to filial piety.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Zhuo Jing and others saw Zhu Yunwen coming, so they hurriedly stood up, fell to the ground, and greeted him.

Zhu Yunwen carefully placed the bowl of medicine in his hand on the table beside his father, turned around and came to Fang Xiaoru, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "When Your Majesty is away, Mr. Fang doesn't need to be so polite. Speaking of this, he turned his head and whispered to Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Zhuo Jing and others: "Everyone, please get up quickly, we are not above the temple, and we don't need to be so polite." ”

Zhuo Jing and the others heard Zhu Yunwen say this, and then they stood up.

Huang Zicheng said in a low voice: "Although His Royal Highness is generous to others, I must abide by the duties of a courtier as a courtier. ”

Zhu Biao picked up the medicine, blew lightly, frowned and drank the medicine, but he was extremely relieved in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: Although Wei'er is a little willful, he is smart and clever, and he still attaches great importance to respecting teachers and filial piety.

Seeing Zhu Biao taking medicine, Fang Xiaoru and the others were slightly worried in their hearts, and they didn't dare to disturb Zhu Biao's rest too much, and after glancing at each other, they stood up together, respectfully asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take care of his noble body, and left together.
