Cao Wenbin turned his head and glanced at this subordinate who was regarded as a confidant, and said with a smile: "Didn't you see you two days ago?" His Royal Highness King Ning followed the army to pursue thousands of men and horses under the Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur, but not a single prisoner was captured, and tonight, the soldiers under Feng Tieling clicked all the Han people who served as officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and His Royal Highness also pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a blind eye. If His Royal Highness King Yan is replaced, I am afraid that I will not let us be too ruthless if I take care of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Your Majesty had a decree in the past, so that we Jinyi Wei can listen to the situation of this Timurid country, but this country is too far away from my Ming Dynasty, and it has never been convenient, and today I am lucky to catch these envoys from Timur country, it is a godsend, how can I miss it? Saying this, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart that His Royal Highness King Ning didn't want to hear the details of the interrogation alone tonight, but it was definitely not a reckless person who was only martial arts. It seems that in the future, we will have to be more cautious when getting along with these two highnesses.

At dawn, the cold wind was blowing, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan in armor, walked out of the camp and stretched his waist. He has been fond of arched horses since he was a teenager, and since following Blue Jade on his expedition, he has fallen in love with the feeling of galloping on the vast grassland.

Zhu Di was about to turn his head and order his subordinate Zhang Yu to bring his mount over, when he suddenly saw two people coming slowly not far away, it was Zhu Quan and the scholar Ma Sanbao, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhu Quan came to Zhu Di and said in a deep voice, "Fourth brother, last night Jinyiwei found the envoy of Timur among the captured Northern Yuan officials, and under strict questioning, he has already gained something, let's go to the blue jade tent to refer to it together." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and bowed his head slightly and walked side by side with Zhu Quan towards Lan Yu's handsome tent, and secretly thought in his heart as he walked, saying that he had heard his father say a few years ago, our Ming Dynasty had sent an envoy to this Timurid country, and he had never heard of it since, and he didn't know where this country was located. Looking at Zhu Quan's expression today, he attaches great importance to this Timurid country, which is really strange.

There are five people sitting in the wide tent, namely the coach Lan Yu, the deputy marshal Wang Bi, the Yan king Zhu Di, the Ning king Zhu Quan, and the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Cao Wenbin.

Zhu Quan looked back and said to Ma Sanbao, the scholar standing behind him, "Tell me in detail what you heard last night, and don't miss it." ”

Ma Sanbao bowed slightly, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and spoke eloquently.

It turned out that among the four Western khanates to which the Yuan Dynasty belonged, one was called the Chagatai Khanate. It was later split into the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate. And the name of the founding monarch of this Timurid country is Timur, and his father is the head of the Mongolian Balulas tribe, and his ancestors were ministers of Chagatai. After Timur inherited his father's power, he gradually mastered the power through intermarriage with the Western Chagatai Khan royal family.

During the civil strife of the Western Chagatai Khan, Timur supported the royal family Hussein, who was related to him by marriage. More than twenty years ago, in a fierce battle, Timur was disabled by his injuries and lame. Finally put Hussein on the throne of the Great Khan. A few years later, Timur rebelled, killed Hussein, and obtained his long-dreamed throne, established the state of Timur, and declared himself a descendant of Genghis Khan. The capital was the ancient city of Samarkand, located near Tashkent, the capital of present-day Uzbekistan. During the reign of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was ordered to lead people to the Western Regions, and once went to Samarkand (then known as Kangju). Master Xuanzang, a famous master in the Tang Dynasty, once praised when he passed by this city, "Treasures from different places, gather more in this country." The land is fertile, the crops are planted, the forests are lush, the flowers and fruits are luxuriant, and there are many good horses." In "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", he also wrote about its "fierce customs" that its king was brave and brave, and his neighbors undertook orders. The soldiers and horses are strong, and most of them are ochre. The ochre man is brave and fierce, sees death as home, and is invincible.

The army under Timur also followed the method of the Mongol cavalry, setting up 10,000 commanders, 1,000 commanders, and centurions. This time, he sent an envoy to meet the Northern Yuan Emperor to inform him that this year he would lead an army of 100,000 to conquer the kingdom of Khorezm and the Kipchak Khanate.

"The Kipchak Khanate is also nominally one of the four western khanates under the rule of the Tatar Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, although this dead lame man named Timur sent an envoy to meet the Northern Yuan Emperor, but he didn't care whether the Tartar Emperor agreed with him to lead an army to attack the Kipchak Khanate, it was really fucking rampant enough." Zhu Quan muttered and cursed.

After Cao Wenbin, the Tongzhi of Jinyiwei, waited for Ma Sanbao to tell the situation of Timur in detail, he said slowly: "According to the knowledge of the high-ranking officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty interrogated by the lower officials, the Tartar Emperor and the ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have always believed that this Timur was originally a Turkic and has no blood relationship with the Golden Family of the Tartars. ”

After Zhu Di quietly listened to what Ma Sanbao and Cao Wenbin said, he thought for a moment, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "These envoys of the Timurid Kingdom are now under the care of Jinyiwei, right?" Seeing Cao Wenbin bowing his head slightly, he said slowly, "In the eyes of this king, this Timurid country is far more than a thousand miles away from my Ming Dynasty, and my father sent an envoy to the capital of the country in the past, so it is better to release his envoy and return." ”

Cao Wenbin frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "There are more than 50 people in Timur's country who came to meet the Tartar Emperor, and most of them died in the chaos during the Great Battle of the Fishing Sea. More than a dozen people seized yesterday were strictly questioned by Jinyiwei's subordinates, and two of them died suddenly of illness, and several people couldn't walk...... "Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Quan, who was sitting on the side.

Zhu Di knew the ruthless methods of Jinyiwei, and when he heard Cao Wenbin say that Timur's envoy fell ill and died violently, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned his head to look at Zhu Quan who was sitting on the side, and Shi Shiran continued, "That's the case, then let them all die in the chaos of the fishing war." ”

When Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, heard Zhu Di's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he still didn't speak, and secretly thought in his heart that since Timur's envoy had already injured several people under Jinyiwei, this matter was bound to be difficult to get better, and His Royal Highness King Yan's method was not a good way to be unaware. Although he did not approve of the killing messenger's approach, if he was released, he was afraid that there would be trouble, so he bowed his head slightly, expressing his approval of Zhu Di's clean approach once and for all.

The commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Yongchang Hou Lanyu sat quietly on the handsome case, leisurely wiped the three-foot long sword in his hand, and ignored the words of Zhu Di, Cao Wenbin and others. In his opinion, whether it is the Northern Yuan Tartar or this Turkic cripple who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, it is just a raccoon dog. There is only one best way to deal with this kind of person, the only way. That is to kill them with the sword, and they will be bloodied, and they will bow down.

After Zhu Quan pondered for a while, he suddenly asked Ma Sanbao, "How old is this Timur?" ”

"According to the messenger, this man is about fifty-two or thirteen years old." Ma Sanbao said this, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly continued: "It is said that the whole country of this country believes in the doctrines that the villain believes. ”

Zhu Quan and Ma Sanbao have been together for a long time, so they naturally know the religion he believes in, and when he heard this, his heart couldn't help sinking, and he secretly thought in his heart that there was an ambitious tribal khan, a country with a large population, and an army armed with religious beliefs as a spirit. Perhaps in the near future, Da Ming will have to face this enemy who is even more dangerous than the former Northern Yuan.

Thinking about this, Zhu Quanyou looked around at Wang Bi and Lan Yu, who were sitting not far away, and thought about it, from Marshal Feng Sheng's forced landing on the Nahachu army in Liaodong, to Lan Yu's sweep of the main force of the Northern Yuan army, it can be seen that Old Man Zhu chose generals and used troops. At present, my Ming soldiers are sharp, and there is no shortage of blue jade, the Chang family brothers, who can fight like the proud soldiers and elite divisions. At this time, if you have a bad relationship with this Timurid country, or even meet each other in arms, you will never suffer. It's a pity that although the old man Zhu is still alive and well, after all, he is more than sixty years old, and he is much older than this Timur in terms of age, and the prince Zhu Biao is more than lenient, but the decision to kill is insufficient. If you wait for this Turkic cripple to be full-fledged, but Old Man Zhu is no longer alive, it is definitely not a good thing for my Ming Dynasty. If this Timur has the ambition to invade our Central Plains, it is better to fight later than early.

After making up his mind, Zhu Quan said in a deep voice, "In the opinion of this king, it is better to expel these envoys back to his country, and solemnly inform him that if Timur insists on going his own way, he will be the wolf son of Temujin's beast, and he will be my enemy." ”

Wang Bi heard Zhu Quan's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jinyi Wei made the messengers of the people either dead or disabled, and His Royal Highness King Ning let them go back with such arrogant words, isn't this adding fuel to the fire, but I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic?

Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Di, who was surprised on the side, and slowly continued, "The nomadic tribe is cruel and murderous, and this Timur is known as the descendant of Temujin to attack the Quartet, which shows that he is ambitious. Once the power of this Timurid country grows, it is very likely to become a big problem for my Ming Dynasty. As the so-called desire is difficult to fill, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if these barbarian chiefs once succeeded, they will daydream of conquering the world, what to say to them to be kind to others, peace is precious, that is fart is useless, only with the sword to completely subdue it, after killing the fear, it is not too late to say the truth. ”

"As Ben Shuai sees it, that's exactly how it should be." Lan Yu said with a sneer as she slowly unsheathed the long sword that had been wiped brightly in her hand. Although the victory of Yuerhai swept away the main force of the Northern Yuan army, Lan Yu was still angry in his heart about the Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur escaping. Hearing Zhu Quan's words, he secretly thought to himself in his heart Listening to Zhu Quan, a scholar, this Timurid country is far away in the sky, and the terrain is unfamiliar. It is not good for me to lead an expedition, if this Turkic cripple dares to lead an army to attack my Daming, Lan will have a chance to let this three-foot sword drink the blood of the barbarian chief's neck. Thinking of this, the blood in his chest seemed to boil slightly, and he felt an indescribable sense of excitement.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, looked at Zhu Quan's eyes, but he was wrong in his heart, and his mind flew to think that my father asked me and Zhu Quan to accompany the army on an expedition, and it was precisely because I intended to cultivate the talents of the two of us as military generals to garrison the key places in the north. This time, the blue jade swept away the elite of the Northern Yuan army, and although the Tartar Emperor escaped as a rabbit, he was already greatly injured, and he was afraid that he would not dare to make a big move in a few years. If there is no war, how can I have the opportunity to practice and practice? It seems that this kid Zhu Quan is deliberately provoking Timur and creating opportunities for the two of us. He has always been on the battlefield of the army, the ambition of self-respect, and he also reads many military books in the palace, but he knows in his heart that the ability to fight this war is not just to look at "The Art of War" to understand it, but to experience the battlefield and fight with the army.

After thinking clearly about the joint and his own interests, Zhu Di suddenly smiled and said, "What Brother Quan said is very true, as the saying goes, the two countries will fight each other, and they will not be killed." Let us release these messengers of Timur and return. ”

Jin Yiwei Tongzhi Cao Wenbin looked at Zhu Quan, and then looked at Zhu Di, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, His Royal Highness Dao Ning made it clear that he was a wicked person, and this His Royal Highness King Yan was also clever and tongue-in-cheek, and it was you who made people "die in the chaos". To also see the wind to make the rudder.

At dawn on this day, more than 140,000 troops of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, who were ready to go, embarked on the return journey south under the military order of the commander Lan Yu.

More than 80,000 hungry Northern Yuan officials, soldiers and civilians and other prisoners, escorted by the Ming army, drove thousands of ox carts full of captured and weapons, as well as a huge number of horses, cattle and sheep to accompany the army.

The rising sun sprinkled on the vast grassland, Zhu Quan sat on the "dark clouds covered with snow", and followed the master to ride his horse slowly.

A few days ago, the Ming army was caught off guard by the Yuan army, and the angry tide came overwhelmingly, killing countless Yuan troops. At this time, within a radius of dozens of miles on the side of the fishing sea, as far as the eye can see, corpses are everywhere. The corpses of those Northern Yuan soldiers and civilians who froze to death and starved to death after escaping can be seen everywhere.

In the distance, the jackals, beasts, and vultures that were biting the corpses of the ambushed corpses rushed and flew up in shock when they saw the torrent of people approaching.

Zhu Quan turned his head to look at the Ming soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, scolding and whipping the captured Ming soldiers and soldiers and civilians of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and recalled that he had heard that Zhuo Jing told Zhuo Jing about the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty more than 90 years ago, and the tragic situation of 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty who died in the sea, and secretly thought to himself in his heart that it was a pity to escape the Northern Yuan Emperor. In this era of Jin Ge Iron Horse, only by using the sword can we find back the self-confidence and dignity lost under the sword. Only merciless slaughter can tell the savage nomadic tribes who worship killing not to start a war with us.

Thinking of this, Zhu Quan was full of pride in his chest, turned around and said aloud to Fang Jinsong, who was in a one-armed green shirt, and his master Qin Zhuofeng, "Before the Northern Expedition in the past, I once told Fang the old man that the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You wrote the last two sentences in "Shi'er", the king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice should not forget to tell Nai Weng. I think in this situation, I might as well say that when the Han army was mighty in Mobei, the family sacrifice should not forget to tell Naiweng. With that, he stretched out his hand to take off the parchment wine bag and poured it, and a flame seemed to rise from his chest, which could not be suppressed, and he laughed and spurred his horse, and galloped away towards the horse.
