"The 20,000 cavalry in Zhu Quan's hands are the old department of the former Duke of Yingguo, and this king has ordered him to carry his father's holy decree to Daning as soon as possible." Zhu Di said slowly.

Zhang Yu has a straight temperament, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty asked Ying Guogong to assist His Royal Highness this time, but how can he give such credit to His Royal Highness King Ning?" In his opinion, Fu Youde, a general who is not inferior to Lan Yu, should stay by King Yan's side to serve, how can he give it to Zhu Quan, King of Ning?

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said lightly: "Father's eyes are like torches, if the Yuan army is broken this time, the credit of this king is not something that anyone can easily take away." ”

Dao Yan was originally clasped his hands together, the old monk was settled, ignoring the surrounding situation, at this time hearing Zhu Di's words, he couldn't help but feel very comforted in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: When the two armies are fighting, the most taboo victory is to compete for merit, and defeat is to take the road and flee. Although His Highness commanded a large army to meet the enemy for the first time, he did not have the eagerness and anxiety of ordinary people, which was very rare.

Zhu Di turned his head to look at Guantong, who was silent on the side, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Guantong was also familiar with this Nell Buhua in the past, I don't know what this person's temperament is?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Tong stood up and said: "The villain was very familiar with him back then, when he was the Northern Yuan Pingzhang, he served under Wang Baobao, and after the defeat, he was demoted to the rank of commander of ten thousand masters. After Wang Baobao died of illness, he turned to Harazhang, and looked at his use of troops as a villain, and his suspicion was very heavy. Seeing Zhu Di's undoubted open-mindedness, he couldn't help but be very impressed, but he knew everything and said everything.

Zhu Di couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: What Guan Tong said is consistent with Ying Guogong, if it weren't for such a suspicious person, I am afraid that it would be rare to escape from the hands of Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu again and again.

Zhu Quan, who was in Daning, had already received the military information about the Yuan army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the continuous military camp was busy, full of strong soldiers and horses, and the atmosphere of arming and fighting.

In the tent of the commander of the wide army, on both sides stood Ma Yun, Yang Ling, Jing Jun, Sima Chao, Feng Tieling and other generals and thousands of households, all wearing helmets and armor, waiting for Zhu Quan's arrival with solemn expressions.

Although Yang Ling looked solemn, he was quite worried in his heart. You must know that he is a fierce general of the border army, and he knows that the commander is the lifeblood of the army, although His Royal Highness King Ning visited the military camp every day after the Da Ning, he never abandoned military affairs, after all, he has never been alone and led the army to fight, and this time they have to face tens of thousands of Northern Yuan cavalry who are good at cavalry and archery.

As the sound of footsteps came into his ears, two figures stepped into the tent one after the other. The leader was Zhu Quan, who was wearing fish scale armor, and behind him was an old man about fifty years old, also wearing armor. I saw his tall and thin figure, his waist was straight, his sideburns were frosted, and a pair of blazing eyes swept over the people in the tent, and his attitude of not being angry and arrogant was undoubtedly revealed, but he was the former leader of thousands of cavalry, from Shaanxi to defeat Gansu, invincible, and captured tens of thousands of Northern Yuan soldiers and civilians after seven battles and seven victories.

Yang Ling and the others saw the arrival of the commander of the Yuan Army who led them to sweep through several roads in the past, and their hearts were settled, and the hesitation and uneasiness in Fang Cai's heart had been swept away, and they all knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general and others welcome Your Highness, Ying Guogong." ”

Zhu Quan saw that the generals in the tent were in a high-spirited state, but his heart was very complicated, which could be described as mixed blessings. The good news is that when the two armies are fighting, the generals are not afraid at all, and it is obvious that the military spirit is available. What worries me is that this cavalry general is so excited, but not for himself, but for seeing the former commander Ying Guogong.

Zhu Laosi can't afford to lose this battle, and I can't afford to lose either. As the commander of the army, his prestige can only be obtained by victory, and there is no other way. Thinking of this, Zhu Quan's chest couldn't help but feel a desire for victory. Stepping to the back of the handsome case, he glanced at the generals on both sides, and said in a deep voice: "This king has obtained the will of His Majesty the Emperor, this time all the soldiers and horses in Daning are under the control of King Yan, and the Duke of Ying Guogong is coming from Beiping, so please tell me how Brother Wang fought this battle." ”

Fu Youde stood up and smiled: "In the past, I also fought with this Nell Buhua, and I know that his temperament is cunning and suspicious, and he often sees bad opportunities and slips away. King Yan's intentions, if His Royal Highness sends troops from Daning and attacks the Yuan army with the Beiping army, Nell will not be able to see that our troops are strong and vigorous, and I am afraid that we will flee and escape into the grassland. This year, next year, when is it over? Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Quan, and slowly continued: "Therefore, His Highness asked all the cavalry of our Daning to make a detour, copy the back road of the Northern Yuan army, and attack back and forth." ”

When Zhu Quan first saw Fu Youde, he already understood Zhu Di's general strategy of attacking Nell Buhua this time, and at this time, when he heard Fu Youde tell in public like this, he still couldn't help but smile and said: Zhu Laosi really has a good appetite, and the first time he unified the army, he didn't just want to repel the invading enemy, but wanted to destroy tens of thousands of troops in one battle, and finish his work in one battle. Thinking of this, Lang Sheng said: "The governor of Liaodong is frugal Ma Yun, and he commands 30,000 foot soldiers to guard Daning. Yang Ling, Feng Tieling and all other cavalry, tomorrow morning to follow the king, Ying Guogong set off, if there is a slack military aircraft, do not blame the military law ruthless. ”

The generals sitting on both sides all got up when they heard the words, and they all bowed with their fists and said awe-inspiringly: "The last general will obey His Royal Highness's military orders." ”

Hundreds of miles southwest of Daning, the Luanhe River Basin. Under the blue sky and white clouds, countless tents are dotted on both sides of the river, and cloud-like herds of cattle, sheep and horses are wandering in groups of east and west on the withered yellow grass. The men, women, and children of the tribe were busy, preparing for the winter, and they didn't know that dozens of miles away, thousands of Northern Yuan cavalry were coming from the west, galloping like a tide.

But after a few hours, the place where the tribe temporarily dwelled was full of corpses, men, women, and children all lay in a pool of blood, and only a few able-bodied people saw that something was wrong, and galloped down to escape for their lives.

Dozens of Northern Yuan cavalry came to the front, and two horses slowly walked out. The gray war horse sat on a big man who was about forty years old and dressed as a flat chapter, and saw a horse with a fierce look on his face, which was the former Northern Yuan Prime Minister Ha Razhang as a confidant and escaped from the hands of Lan Yu.

Standing tall on a cyan steed beside him was an old man over half a hundred years old, dressed as a civil official of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, with a gloomy smile on his face, blinking a pair of triangular eyes, looking at the leader of the small tribe who had been escorted to the horse by his two soldiers and had almost been slaughtered. This person's name is Biting, but he is a high-ranking official under the former Prime Minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Imperial Court, who escaped the encirclement and suppression of the blue jade army on the side of the fishing sea, and then collected a part of the remnants of the defeated general to find Nell Buhua, and has been in collusion since then.

"This is the Great Yuan Dynasty Pingzhang and the Prime Minister, don't kowtow yet." A Northern Yuan soldier scolded viciously, raised his foot and kicked the head of the tribe in the leg.

The white-haired, blood-stained tribal leader kept hearing the screams of the clansmen in his ears, knowing that even if he kowtowed and begged for mercy, he would never be spared, and suddenly roared and laughed: "Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan's golden family emperor is dead, where is there any Pingzhang, Prime Minister?" ”

Nell Buhua heard this, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face. Biting it, he waved his hand again and again in anger and roared: "Drag him to death." ”

After receiving the order, the two Northern Yuan soldiers firmly tied the old man's hands and dragged them through the group of Northern Yuan cavalry with war horses.

As the war horse galloped more and more, the angry scolding in the mouth of the stubborn tribal old man couldn't help but turn into wails and miserable screams. The Northern Yuan cavalry shouted and jumped with joy, but there was no trace of sympathy and pity in their hearts, because in this vast grassland like the sea, weak tribes were conquered by powerful tribes, and even disappeared forever under the iron hooves of war horses, which seemed to them to be commonplace.

Nell was not dazzled to see a group of soldiers rushing into the tents everywhere to kill the old and weak, women and children, and snatching out a lot of silk, tea, and even grain, and there were many cattle, sheep, horses, and livestock in the four wilderness.

Biting his hatred, he said: "It's really hateful, such a small tribe with a population of only a few thousand dares to resist us." ”

Nair didn't bother to see that it was not early, and turned his head and ordered the soldiers behind him to pass the order, so that the follow-up tens of thousands of troops could come as soon as possible, camp on the side of the Luan River to rest, and replenish drinking water. Thinking back to biting the words, I couldn't help but feel gloomy in my heart, it turned out that after the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty fled from the capital in a hurry, although the prestige of the Northern Yuan Dynasty among the various tribes on the grassland was greatly reduced, it was a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen, and the remaining prestige was still there, and the large and small tribes still had to recognize the supremacy of the golden family on the grassland in name. But since the fiasco of fishing in the sea and the death of the father and son of Togus Timur, the prestige of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan's golden family in the steppe has been uprooted like a crumbling dead tree. Not only did the three tribes of Dehuan, Arutai, and Guilichi successively annex the rest of the relatively weak tribes, but many tribes are also ready to move and stand on their own one after another, where do they still recognize the two of them, the two important ministers of the Northern Yuan?

Biting the Yin Test, he said: "If we can come to Dadu and support a person from the Golden Family to regain the position of Great Khan, the two of us will be the heroes of the Great Yuan Dynasty." In his opinion, even if the people of the Golden Family died, what would happen? As long as you can return to the capital and revive the momentum of the Northern Yuan, it is not difficult to find a relative of His Majesty Timur of Togus to help him become a puppet in the position of Khan.

Nell couldn't help frowning when he heard this, although he had more than 50,000 horses under his command after the defeat of the fishing army in the past, it was naturally effortless to raid these weak tribes, but the Ming Dynasty Emperor Lao'er not only built a pass that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, such as Juyong Pass, but also stationed heavy troops in the guard post near the capital, but this hornet's nest was not so easy to poke.

Biting his eyes and seeing that Nell was silent, he couldn't help but secretly scold this martial artist-like commander for being cowardly, but he was not as good as a civilian official, but most of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were Nell's henchmen, and he and he were grasshoppers on the same rope, which could be described as closely related, and it was not good to offend in person. He didn't know that Nell Buhua had seen Wang Baobao, who was known as the number one general of the Great Yuan Dynasty, being defeated by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the past, and he had been chased by Li Wenzhong and Fu Youde and fled, and he had seen his former boss Harazhang being destroyed by the tiger and wolf army under Lan Yu, and he had already lacked the courage to face the fierce generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Some time ago, didn't the news from most of the capital say that Zhu Yuanzhang's son, Zhu Di, led the army to guard it? The son of the Han emperor, riding a horse and shooting rabbits is harmless, and it may not be so easy to come to lead the army to fight. After biting and thinking about it, he smiled a little hesitantly.

Nair didn't take any time to hear the words and couldn't help but be a little moved, although he was afraid of blue jade, Fu Youde and other figures, but for so many years and the Ming army fought on the battlefield, but he had never faced Zhu Yuanzhang's son, recalling the mediocrity of the sons of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, this Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di, I am afraid that the brocade clothes and jade are also delicate and expensive, and the milk smell has not dried up A yellow-haired boy, can there really be Lan Yu, Fu Youde is so powerful?

The autumn wind was bleak, the sun was approaching dusk, Xu Ying was independent of the courtyard, but her heart was difficult to understand.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps in her ears, and Xu Ying sighed lightly: "Is Ying Guogong leading the army to the battle?" Speaking of this, he secretly thought to himself: Father also respected Ying Guogong in the past, since His Majesty the Emperor let him go to Daning, he should let him command the army to go on the expedition. She didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree, but she still had a chance in her heart.

Zhu Quan heard this, and a slightly wry smile appeared on his face. Before the generals of the three armies, he had to make a decision, and in the face of Xu Ying's soft words, he couldn't say a word of his bold words.

When Xu Ying looked back, she saw the expression on Zhu Quan's face, and the slightest luck in her heart was ruthlessly broken, buried the head in Zhu Quan's chest, and unrelentingly reached out and twisted it on Zhu Quan's waist.

Zhu Quan stretched out his hand to hug Xu Ying's waist, but he secretly thought to himself in his heart: Although I am a prince, I am also the commander of the Daning garrison, if I can't take the lead, how can I serve the public? He and Xu Ying have been married for a long time, and they know that if such a truth is spoken, not only can it not make Xu Ying relieved, but it will make her more worried, so he immediately changed the topic and smiled: "How can you stay at home these days, but you don't practice swordsmanship?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Ying suddenly raised her head and said awkwardly: "If you promise me one thing, I will only say that I know about you." ”

Zhu Quan saw Xu Ying's face blushing, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "You just want the stars in the sky, and I will shoot them down with a bow and arrow." ”

Xu Ying heard his rhetoric, and although she was happy in her heart, she still said angrily: "I have been a prince for a long time, but I am not serious." Speaking of this, his mind was recalling the corpses scattered all over the city after the bloody battle of Gyeongju in the past, raised his head and stared at Zhu Quan's eyes and said softly: "This expedition ......"

Zhu Quan's mind suddenly flashed in his mind at this time, when he was even more with the blue jade expedition to the desert, in the middle of the Heavenly King's Mansion, on the roof under the moonlit night. What Xu Ying had said to herself, she suddenly hugged her tightly in her arms, and said categorically: "I will definitely come back alive." ”

Xu Ying heard his words, and Fang Ying's rather gloomy and worried mood couldn't help but feel a little better, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but drip two crystal tears, which quietly fell on Zhu Quan's chest.
