Chapter 183: Into the Prairie

Due to the cooperation of Timur, the two sides quickly reached a negotiation on the content of cooperation and other conditions, but judging from the gloomy face of the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the content of this agreement may not be of much benefit to him.

After all, even as the titular Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Timur should be the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, not the current little prince Zhu Gui.

But Zhu Gui didn't think so, although he successfully caught the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty by chance this time, so that he shortened the depiction of the Ming Dynasty territory in his heart for a long time, but this does not mean that everything is over.

Through the conversation with the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, I learned that the conflict between the Tile Thorns and the Tatar tribes within the Northern Yuan Dynasty has reached an increasingly serious level, which is why he will personally go out this time, which is to alleviate the contradiction between the two tribes through a war.

And the Dzungar tribe who went out with Timur this time is officially from the Vaspur tribe, and if this time it is a case of outstanding results, then it is good to say that the conflict between the Wazi and Tatar tribes can continue to be suppressed.

But now that the Dzungar tribe has suffered very serious losses, the Tatar tribe and even several other large tribes within the Wazi tribe may have other ideas.

On the contrary, for Ye Sudie'er, the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not suspect him at all, and even asked him to lead 50,000 Mongolian elite iron cavalry to carry out the so-called sneak attack plan.

As everyone knows, in history, it was this general who made Tugusi Timur very trusted to end the Northern Yuan Dynasty with his own hands, and what Zhu Gui didn't expect was that Ye Sudieer also came here this time, and left with a 50,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Judging from the information that continued to be transmitted back by the scouts who followed this unit, the Tatar general did not carry out his so-called sneak attack plan, but led his army directly back to the steppe.

You don't have to think about it to guess that although he did not personally result in Timur according to the course of history, and directly abolished the Northern Yuan, he should still choose to unify the Mongolian tribes and change the dynasty.

Once he completed his plan, the value of the hole card of the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Zhu Gui's hand would be negligible.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Zhu Gui to operate, whether to continue to stay in place to clean up these Mongolian cavalry and complete the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, or to go deep into the grassland and fight for control of the grassland with Yesudiel.

For a moment, Zhu Gui fell into deep thought.

"Lord Wang, no matter what you do, I will stand firmly on your side." Xu Miaoqing looked at Zhu Gui with a firm face, and said affectionately.

Zhu Gui smiled and nodded, which was considered to respond to the other party's expectations.

"In this case, you go and call General Xu over, this king has important matters to discuss with him."

Xu Yingxu, who was cleaning the battlefield, soon came to the camp, and after hearing Zhu Gui's consideration, he also fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "Lord, this war is nearing its end, and the court is waiting for our performance, so I don't think we should take risks at this time." ”

Zhu Gui shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But after this village, there will be no such shop, and next time I want to fight with Ye Sudie'er for control of the grassland, it will not be so simple." ”

"But......" Xu Yingxu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Gui waving his hand.

"Okay, this king has already made a decision, and General Xu can carry out the military order."

"Yes."

So the next day, Xu Yingxu led more than 20,000 cavalry to clean up the battlefield and continue to pursue the Mongolian cavalry, while Zhu Gui led less than 3,500 cavalry from Datong Mansion into the grassland.

It's just that because of the secrecy of its whereabouts, not many people have noticed the movements of this army.

And Zhu Gui's order to Xu Yingxu was to delay him as much as possible to buy him time, but the longest was more than a month, and he would return.

If Zhu Gui did not return after a month, then Xu Yingxu could lead the army back to Zhu Yuanzhang to explain the matter.

Although Xu Yingxu was a little worried in his heart, he also trusted Zhu Gui's ability very much, so he didn't say anything else after some entrustment.

And this time, because he had to travel a long distance, Xu Miaoqing did not go to the grassland with Zhu Gui, which made Xu Miaoqing a little disappointed.

However, Zhu Gui still assigned her a task, that is, to let her use a few city defense design drawings he drew for her to supervise the construction of urban defense in several border cities.

It can be regarded as an insurance measure to prevent the Mongols from continuing to raid the border in the future, and at the same time, it also finds something to do for the bored Xu Miaoqing.

Zhu Gui didn't expect that Xu Miaoqing would accumulate huge prestige for him because of this incident.

This time, Timur, the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, also returned to the grassland with Zhu Gui, but his mood was indeed very complicated.

When he came, he was the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty with an army of 150,000, but he didn't expect that when he went back, he had become a prisoner.

"Your Excellency, you have arrived on the grassland, you should now tell this king where the tribe of Surdier is, right?" Zhu Gui looked at the vast grassland and felt a surging feeling in his heart, but he hadn't forgotten what he was doing.

It turned out that Timur had never been willing to believe that Ye Sudieer would betray him, and he didn't even mention to Zhu Gui that the other party's plan to copy Nanjing City, he still had something to look forward to, that is, once Ye Sudieer completed the unprecedented feat, then he, the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, could still recover the Great Yuan.

"Your Royal Highness, I feel that it is completely futile for you to do this, the general has not returned to the grassland, and now the conflict between the various tribes on the grassland is very serious, even if I am here, I may not be able to protect you." Tagus Timur said.

Zhu Gui naturally heard the other party's thoughts, so he said: "Don't worry about your Excellency, and even if the general doesn't return to the grassland, according to the content of the negotiation between our two sides, this king can also go to the grassland to investigate, and now the grassland departments are not worried about food?" ”

At the mention of food, Timur's eyes lit up.

"Your Royal Highness, do you really have a way to transport grain to the grassland? And as far as I know, the laws of the Ming Dynasty don't allow you Han people to trade with us Mongols, right? Won't you be punished by the emperor for doing this? ”

Although Timur was a little excited, he asked more worriedly.
