"I sent the news over there, have you read it?"

In the main hall of King Ning's Mansion, Zhu Quan, who had just practiced knives, wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel, and asked the middle-aged man in armor who walked into the main hall.

The middle-aged man hesitated, and when he saw that Zhu Quan didn't get up, he still simply gave a military salute: "I've seen the prince." ”

"No need to be polite," Zhu Quan showed a smile on his face, put down the towel and helped the middle-aged man up: "I haven't seen you for a long time, big brother." ”

The middle-aged man who stood up was none other than Tai Ningwei's commander Sha Man, his cheeks twitched, and he squeezed out a smile: "After the prince sent someone to send the battle report of the real battle, the more the general read it, the more he was interested in Zhu Di, the king of Yan... Be afraid. ”

"It's not just you, although this king doesn't want to admit it, how can he not be afraid?" Zhu Quan sat back in his chair, "The army of more than 100,000 people crossed the Hutuo River and camped for ten miles, but it was defeated and defeated in a battle with the fourth brother, and he retreated into Zhending, and he never dared to come out again. Is it really blessed by God? ”

"Before, the prince was exercising in the morning, and the last general went to visit his sister first, and even his sister was saying that the Yan King was a great Baturu," Sha Man said with a smile, "At first, the prince said that the Yan King was likely to win, but the last general didn't care, but now it seems... However, the last general underestimated the Yan King. ”

Baturu means heroic in Mongolian, and when he heard his woman praise another man like this, even if it was his fourth brother, Zhu Quan's face was still gloomy... He knew that Shaning was a woman on the grassland, and it was the nature of a grassland woman to admire heroes, not that he liked Zhu Di, the king of Yan, but he really loved Shaning so much that he couldn't help but feel a taste in his heart and snorted softly.

Even such a smart person still can't escape the shackles of love.

After a little silence, Zhu Quan returned to the topic: "The things that were set before may have to be changed." ”

Shaman raised his eyebrows: "... Why? Tai Ning Wei is loyal to the prince, but the other two guards... It took a lot of effort for the last general to convince their leader, not only to give them priority in the next two years' supplies, but also to find a new station for Duo Yanwei, so they reluctantly agreed, if they changed their fortunes at this time..."

"Because it's useless to defeat Daning now," Zhu Quan sighed, "The imperial court has re-sent a large army to the north, and the generals have been changed. ”

"How much?"

"Five hundred thousand."

Shaman gasped, a little incredulous: "Five hundred thousand? Real number? ”

"It should be counted those people who really decided before, but the number of people who crossed the Yellow River will definitely not be less than 300,000, and there are still so many troops on Yingtian's side," Zhu Quan said quietly, "500,000... No matter how lucky the fourth brother of this king is, no matter how good he can fight, he will definitely not be able to defend Beiping... To tell the truth, this king is hesitating to go to Jinling now, and it is really impossible to learn from the fourth brother of this king, pretending to be crazy and stupid. ”

Sha Man knew why the plain and calm vassal king in front of him showed such a look just now, he was originally watching the play in Daning, and he was looking forward to doing something in it, but now the party that is in full swing suddenly flipped the table, and it is even possible that he may come to clean up after cleaning up the other party... It's no wonder that the mood is so complicated.

He exhaled softly: "Lord Wang, then what should we do?" ”

It's not what you do, it's what we do.

You handed over the military power, and you can go to Jinling to be an idle vassal king at the worst, Lao Tzu has his head tied to the waistband of his pants to help you do so many things, Sanwei is now quarreling every day, and finally drew a big cake to let them settle down, and now I listen to you I actually want to get out of it?

How do you explain to them? How many years have there been no battles? Zhu Di, the king of Yan, went into the grassland to run with the Mongols at every turn, and Duoyan Sanwei lived worse and worse day by day on the side of Liaodong, and he was used to herding horses before, and now he has to learn how to farm with the Han people.

Even your sister has become your princess...

Zhu Quan frowned slightly: "You can't hold it down?" ”

"I really can't hold it down," Sha Man said sincerely, "The prince also knows that Duoyan Sanwei was canonized by the imperial court, although it is three guards, but in fact it is three tribes, although the last general is the head of Tainingwei, but he can't command the other two guards, and now the court is becoming more and more harsh, not a grain of grain has been given to us since July, and Sanwei has begun to slaughter cattle and sheep, if it is like this for a few more months..."

Zhu Quan sneered: "What, you bit your master to death and became a dog for the imperial court, do you think you can still do it alone now?" You can't go back to the grassland, you can't enter Liaodong, Daning is the king's, where else can you go? ”

Shaman lowered his head slightly, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, the grassland is not impossible to go back..."

Zhu Quan was shocked, grabbed the towel in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Sha Man deadly: "You... Have you contacted Varat and Tatar? ”

This question does not need an answer at all, because Shaman's expression already says it all.

"Your Highness... The last general is also forced to do so. ”

"Forced to do so? Both sides take it all, the court and the king give you all the order, on the other hand, there is some unclear relationship with the grassland, if you can win the fight, you can get rid of the current predicament, if you can't fight or win, you will run back to the grassland to re-believe in your immortality? Zhu Quan laughed angrily, "Shaman, you are so bold!" ”

Shaman's smile became more and more vigorous: "The last general is just a small person... This is the way of life of the little people, in fact, the last general has not made up his mind at the beginning, but the prince gave too much, so much so that the other two guards agreed to come down, so the last general learned from the prince and made a steady profit. ”

He turned his back to the sun, and the face that had always been humble and flattering in Zhu Quan's impression couldn't see clearly: "After all, the prince wants to give... It's the whole Daning. ”

Dead silence filled the main hall of King Ning's mansion, and it was thanks to the fact that there were no subordinates waiting on the side, so I didn't listen to such a rebellious and chilling words... The reason why Duoyan Sanwei didn't even want to give face to the court was because Zhu Quan promised the entire Daning!

Give Daning to these Mongols!

Of course, if he wants to rebel and can occupy Guanwai and Liaodong, a Daning is indeed nothing, but he is a vassal king, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang!

In the end, it was Zhu Quan who broke the silence: "So if this king doesn't agree, Duoyan Sanwei will grab a sum and then run away?" ”

He tapped the table, "No, maybe you'll be a little bolder... Liaodong? ”

Sha Man, who originally thought that he had the upper hand, was stunned, and then couldn't help but show a look of admiration, the young vassal king in front of him was really still an extremely smart person, even if he had a little gaffe just now, he adjusted back at this moment, and even began to think about the situation and the future.

He stood up: "Since the prince can figure it out, then the last general will not bother the prince... However, there is one more thing in the end, and I implore the prince to agree. ”

"Say."

"The prince also knows that the last general has only one sister who grew up together, and after the sister married into the palace, she hasn't seen her for a long time, and it just so happens that the prince has been a little busy recently... Therefore, the last general dared to ask the prince to agree, and let the last general accompany his sister out of the city for a safari. ”

Sha Man smiled embarrassedly: "After all, waiting for the prince's reply... I guess it will take a few days, right? ”

Zhu Quan looked at him expressionlessly, and after a long time, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and picked up the bead curtain:

"Get out."
