Chapter 41: The Brotherly Gap
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
Bands of cavalry galloped across the steppe, kicking up puffs of dust.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been a headache for the Ming Dynasty.
After countless battles and negotiations, I finally fell into a dead loop.
That is, talk after fighting, and fight after talking.
No matter how you fight, it just hasn't stopped.
After decades of war, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been fighting from large troops to small units, from small units to guerrillas.
One example of this is Duoyan Sanwei.
This is also the reason why every time the Ming Dynasty dispatches hundreds of thousands of troops, it still can't destroy the remnants of the Northern Yuan.
Others don't get together at all, they play their own games, you hit the east, I grab the west, you hit the west, I grab the east.
It's like knocking a gopher.
Since Yao Guangxiao was summoned to Beijing, Zhu Le's whole person has not been good.
This rebel duo, if you say no, it's gone, what should you do?
He got Yuan Hui back.
When it comes to the surname Yuan, the first thing that comes to mind is Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng.
Er Yuan is a pair of uncles and nephews, and they are also famous physiognomy masters.
This Yuan Hui is the same.
In the Yuan Dynasty, he was a famous physiognomy teacher.
When it comes to physiognomy, many people find it unreliable.
But this old man is quite reliable, he said that Yao Guangxiao looked harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, his heart was very bad.
Yao Guangxiao felt that he was really accurate, so he introduced him to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was depressed at the time, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, Yuan Hui saw him and hurriedly told him, you were born out of phase, and you will be the emperor at the age of forty in the future.
This made Zhu Di very happy, so he sent him back to his hometown overnight.
Zhu Le invited Yuan Hui back, and there was a reason for it.
Since Zhu Quan returned to Daning a few days ago, he has intended to talk to Zhu Quan about family life and contact feelings.
After all, in the future, I will have to rely on Zhu Quan's soldiers and horses.
As a result, Zhu Quan ignored him when he came back, and even Daning didn't let him in. This made Zhu Le angry, and said in his heart that everything has not gone well recently, is there something evil that has happened?
Later, he told Xu Miaoyun about it, and Xu Miaoyun thought about it, so he proposed to him to find Yuan Heng to calculate!
Originally, Zhu Le didn't believe in fortune telling, but there was no way at the moment, so he listened to Xu Miaoyun's suggestion and invited Yuan Heng to Beiping.
Who knew that the first time Yuan Heng saw him, he actually said that he had a bloody disaster. This made Zhu Le so angry that he didn't eat lunch that day.
Later, the news that the emperor would not cut the feudal domain reached Beiping, and Zhu Le was even more like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't even take care of eating.
Within a few days, Ge Cheng and others were arranged to send an envoy to the Northern Yuan Erlebak Khan, proposing the establishment of a horse market.
Immediately afterwards, he informed Ning Wangfu, Gu Wangfu, and the Northern Parallel to command the envoys, and the Northern Yuan was ready to move, intending to wave his army south.
Although Zhu Guanwen had already greeted Zhu Quan, the border military was set during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and the military should be dispatched by King Yan.
He could only send guards to join the guards of King Yan, the guards of the King of Valley, and the town guards to block the remnants of the Northern Yuan from moving south.
At this time, tens of thousands of troops of the two armies confronted each other, and neither side dared to act rashly.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Quan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I look at this Warat, it seems that I don't want to be the enemy of my Ming Dynasty, why haven't you attacked until now?" ”
"Brother Seventeen, what's the matter, you and I are both vassal kings, are you still fighting for that bit of military merit?" Gu Wang Zhu Lu said a little funny.
"Military merit is not secondary, mainly because Warat sent troops this time, which is a little strange!"
"Strange? What's the difference? ”
Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Quan with doubts: "This is the news from the fourth brother, you still don't believe it?" ”
It's the news from him, I don't believe it!
You don't know how jealous His Majesty is of him!
We'd better stay away from him now!
Zhu Quan wanted to remind Zhu Lu very much, but Zhu Guanwen didn't greet him, he naturally didn't dare to say this kind of dangerous speech.
So after pondering for a while, he changed the topic and said, "Where did the fourth brother go?" Why didn't you see him? ”
"Isn't it with the Beiping Division, the Xingdu Division, the Liaodong Division, and the Liaowang Mansion to guard and defend it? Are you looking for him? ”
"I...."
Zhu Quan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
He now feels that Emperor Gao is really good to Zhu Di, and so many town guards and guards are mobilized by him.
Although the guards of the Yan Wangfu were not as good as the guards of the Ning Wangfu, the number of town guards far exceeded the guards.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Di is the leader among the vassal kings.
"Actually, I don't blame Your Majesty for being so jealous of the fourth brother, even if it's me, I'm worried about the full-fledged fourth brother!"
Zhu Quan sighed in his heart, but said to Zhu Lu: "We have been in a stalemate here for an hour or two, and it is not a way to go on like this!" ”
"Who says it's not, the key is that we have to listen to the fourth brother, the fourth brother hasn't spoken, what can we do?" Zhu Lu said with a bitter face.
In fact, during the trip to Beijing, he was also tired of the border life in Mobei, and if he hadn't been worried about being cut down, he would have asked for a change of fiefdom a long time ago.
But now, the Northern Yuan side is about to move, and it is impossible to change the fiefdom again.
Just as the two were talking, a group of people and horses rushed from a distance, raising puffs of smoke and dust, and when they got closer, Zhu Lu and Zhu Quan realized that it was the people of Yanwangfu.
"It's the fourth brother, the fourth brother, they're here!"
Zhu Lu shouted excitedly and waved at the people and horses of the Yan Palace.
Zhu Quan glanced at him, didn't make a sound, and quietly waited for the arrival of the people of Yan Wangfu.
Zhu Le took the lead, and soon came to the two, and said with a smile: "Nineteenth brother, seventeenth brother, this time thanks to your timely help, otherwise Warat will go south, and my people will be in danger!" ”
"What did the fourth brother say, when Emperor Gao was here, he had already set the rules, let us listen to you and guard against border troubles!" Zhu Yu said with a smile.
Zhu Le smiled at the corner of his mouth, bowed his head slightly, and immediately looked at Zhu Quan: "Seventeenth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"What did the fourth brother say, we only joined forces to fight the Tatars two months ago, and a month ago we were in Beijing for a funeral, and all the brothers came, but you didn't come!"
Zhu Quanpi said with a smile: "It is said that the fourth brother is infected with the plague, which is so good that it is quite fast!" ”
Zhu Le: "......"
Zhu Lu: "......"
The two looked at each other, but they were silent.
After a while, Zhu Lu stood up and said: "It's all brothers, what are you talking about, the fourth brother didn't come to Beijing to mourn, and there is a reason for it. ”
"What the nineteenth brother said is right, the enemy is current, this king really shouldn't say this, then leave, this king has to go to defense!"
When the words fell, Zhu Quan immediately turned the horse's head, leaving a trail of smoke and dust, and walked away.
Zhu Le was stunned, then looked at Zhu Lu, and scolded: "Damn, what kind of disease is this?" This king recruited him and provoked him?! ”
"The fourth brother is angry, the fourth brother is angry!"
Seeing that Zhu Le was angry, Zhu Yu hurriedly said with a smile: "Something happened in the seventeenth brother's mansion, maybe there is nowhere to be angry, you should be more responsible as a brother!" ”
"What's the matter?" Zhu Le said angrily: "You can get used to him!" ”
