220 Zhu Di and Xu Da, the two sixth
"Report, the Northland Beacon Fire Warning, the highest level of beacon fire."
When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately didn't care to ask Zhang Yifan if he had any good ideas, and immediately stood up with excitement on his face.
Beacon fire communication can be classified according to the number of beacon fires. The highest level of beacon fire naturally means that the enemy who will attack the most is the most.
However, the Beacon Transmission can only transmit so much information, and no matter how much it is, it is impossible to distinguish it.
As soon as Zhang Yifan saw Zhu Di's excitement, he knew that he was in his arms.
Sure enough, after Zhu Di confirmed the news, he didn't eat hot pot at all, and said to Zhang Yifan while striding out, "After you finish eating, I'll go find my father-in-law first!"
Zhang Yifan couldn't help but shake his head, and looked at Princess Yan with a speechless face, yes, anyway, it's not his turn to arrange the troops, and the lamb can't be wasted!
Besides, Zhu Di ran out in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived at the military conference hall, he met the generals who rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhu Di immediately said happily to Xu Da, "Father-in-law, you brought *** here, right?"
After finishing speaking, he felt that this way of saying seemed to be a little wrong, so he hurriedly added: "Father-in-law's show of the enemy has worked with a weak strategy, and the highest-level beacon fire transmission must be a big fish!"
Speaking of this, he looked at the heavy snow again, and couldn't help but curse again: "God really doesn't have long eyes, it is snowing so heavily at this time, even a signal tower can't use it!"
When Xu Da heard this, he smiled and comforted: "The snow is big and it means that it won't last, and it just so happens that it will take time for us to rearm our arms for war."
When Zhu Di heard this, he turned his anger into joy again, and he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to do a big job, so he heard him say: "It's so good, maybe I can give my father the best New Year's gift!" ………………
In the north of Beiping, a pass of the Great Wall is the Qingshui Mingyue Pass, which was called Lengkou during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At this time, the construction of this pass has not yet been completed, and under the heavy snowfall, a steady stream of Mongolian cavalry troops squeezed into the pass from outside the fortress.
Every Mongolian *** is looking forward to it, counting on this entry to get a vote.
On a ruined section of the wall, a group of Mongols was watching from their horses. Looking at the guards surrounding them, you can know that the leaders of this group of people should be the leaders of this Mongolian cavalry, and they all looked up at the beacon fire burning on the top of the mountain in the distance.
I saw a Mongol dressed as a general, and said to the eldest one: "Don't worry, Lord Pingzhang, the beacon fire message is nothing, Minggou can only know that we have a large group of men and horses entering the pass, but he doesn't know more specific information, I don't know what our strength is, and where the soldiers are pointing?"
This Pingzhang is called Beligo, and when he heard the words of the Yuan General Duo'er Buhua, he turned his head to look at the privy deputy envoy Jiutong beside him. When Jiutong saw it, he also smiled and said, "We have also had it before, with a false shot, and the message was transmitted like a clear dog, and the result was a toss in vain. As long as we move fast enough, the dog can only eat us with a nose of ash!"
When Brother Beli heard this, he turned his head to look at the cavalry soldiers who were still waiting to enter the pass outside the pass, and said, "The enemy in front of you is Xu Da, a famous general of the Ming Kingdom, so don't be careless. After entering the customs, according to the plan, disperse and attack the city, and fight quickly."
Hearing this, Duo'er Buhua hurriedly spoke: "The news that Tanma found out is that this is already the leader of the Yan King of the Ming Kingdom, and it is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang's southern barbarian, who is only twenty years old. You see, if it was Xu Da, this Qingshui Mingyue Pass would be easily broken by us? Then Xu Da must have been seized of power!"
As he spoke, he added: "Minggou himself is also fighting, then Zhu Yuanzhang can't wait for his sons to be able to fight, and now he is only in his twenties, so he sent Dadu to the front line, obviously to grab credit."
He was originally the captain of Meng Yuan, but was captured by the Ming Dynasty and surrendered. But later, he defected and went back. Compared with the general ***, it is better to understand the domestic situation of the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the case, after he learned that the Ming Kingdom had changed commanders in Dadu, he tried his best to encourage the entry into the pass and plunder.
Of course, this is not all the reason for the change of commander, but also because the grassland is barren and difficult to survive the winter, and it is necessary to enter the customs and plunder.
In the original history, they were dragged until the first month of the fourteenth year of Hongwu
before entering the customs and plundering. But in this plane, it was two months ahead of schedule, and there were more troops than in history, almost pouring out.
Hearing his introduction, whether it was Beli Ge or Jiutong, he didn't hesitate and braved the heavy snow to step into the pass.
However, the snow is falling, and it is in the pass, even if the invading are cavalry, the movement is still very slow. Who knows if it's the ground or something else under the snow cover.
However, the reason why the Mongolian *** took advantage of this bad weather to dispatch was also because this kind of weather also affected the mobilization and reinforcement of the Ming army, which could give them more time to plunder.
These three Mongolian leaders are also experienced in looting. After entering the customs, the tanma was sent out from afar. One person with two horses is the basic, and there are even one person with three horses, which can guard the army farther away. ………………
As Xu Da expected, this heavy snow was menacing and raining heavily, but the next day, it stopped falling.
Although it was still cloudy, the visibility was much better.
On the Beiping side, all armies have been urgently mobilized, and after a day of preparation, they have been able to pull out.
At dawn the next day, Zhu Di, who got up early, found that the snow had stopped, so he rushed to the terminal of the signal tower located on the coal mountain in Beiping as soon as possible.
To his delight, by the time he arrived here, the soldiers in charge were already decoding.
Before the translation was finished, Xu Da and others also arrived. One by one, they are looking forward to the surprise that the signal tower will bring them.
When the soldier in charge of decoding just put down the brush, Zhu Di, who had been staring, immediately asked, "How?"
The soldier obviously knew King Yan's mood, and immediately offered it with both hands.
Zhu Di immediately took it, swept it with three lines, his face showed surprise, and said to Xu Da, who was also looking forward to it: "Father-in-law, big fish, here comes big fish, haha, *** I'm afraid I don't know that we already know their every move!"
As he spoke, he handed the note to Xu Da, and then said with emotion: "Yifan, this signal tower, is really easy to use!"
After Xu Da took a look, it was also very informative, and he immediately looked at Zhu Di and said, "I should give an order to the Duke of Xinguo to send out the car camp to plug the gap in Qingshui Mingyue Pass."
Xinguo Gong is Tang He, stationed in Jizhen, which is the closest military town to Qingshui Mingyue Pass.
Judging from the news from the signal tower, the *** who entered the customs avoided Jizhen and attacked Yongping Mansion.
Xu Da's original arrangement of troops had a set of plans, assuming that Mongolia would enter the customs from Qingshui Mingyue Pass.
At this time, after suggesting Tang and blocking the door, he continued to put forward corresponding proposals in response to the movements of Mongolia.
In terms of the real ability to lead troops to fight, Zhu Di is naturally no match for his father-in-law. When one suggestion is spoken, he can only agree.
In the end, when he heard his father-in-law say that his father-in-law led the troops on his own, and he was sitting in Beiping, he was immediately unhappy, and immediately said, "As the commander of the three armies, how can you hide in a safe place and watch the soldiers fight on the front line?"
In short, he did not agree, and wanted to personally lead the troops to fight and let Xu Da sit in Beiping.
Xu Da and others persuaded him not to listen, so they had to send someone to find the big horse and let the big horse persuade him.
Zhang Yifan received the news, it was not strange at all.
This fourth, in the original history, after he became the Emperor Yongle, he personally led the troops to the grassland, and now Zhu Yuanzhang is far away in Nanjing, and he is the biggest here in Beiping, so it would be strange if he didn't want to fight in person.
Thinking of these, Zhang Yifan hurried to the coal mountain, the mountain where the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself, but he didn't see any crooked neck trees along the way, and it was estimated that he hadn't planted it yet.
In the house under the signal tower, there is a military conference hall, and all the generals are already there.
When Zhang Yifan arrived, Xu Da and others stopped Zhu Di, and both sides felt a little blushing and thick necks.
Seeing Zhang Yifan arrive, Zhu Di was a little unhappy, and immediately asked, "Yifan, are you here to persuade me too?"
If it weren't for the fact that the person who took the lead on him was his father-in-law, also
is a famous founding general in the army, and he has long been mad.
He knew that Zhang Yifan was timid, so he didn't call him over, but at this time he came in a hurry, so there was only one reason, it was estimated that his father-in-law sent someone to call him.
The purpose is also very clear, and it must be here to persuade him.
But who knows, Zhang Yifan listened, but ignored his question, and just asked, "What is the situation of the enemy and me now?" Is there any news?"
There is a sand table in the lobby, which is the approximate topographic map north of Beiping.
Hearing Zhang Yifan ask this, Zhu Di was a little surprised, so he immediately introduced Zhang Yifan to this sand table: *** How many people are there, where are they now, how many people are in the imperial court, where are they, what military orders have been issued, etc.
As far as the current situation is concerned, because of the existence of the signal tower, it is equivalent to opening a map for the Ming army. Kannai is the home battle, not only occupies the geographical advantage, but also has more troops than the first army, and the leaders are all the founding generals.
When Zhang Yifan saw it, he opened his mouth and said, "King Yan wants to lead the troops to conquer in person, and he will be able to inspire the soldiers of the whole army, and he will conquer and win the battle, I support it!"
When Zhu Di heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many generals standing, he, the coach, would still have taken care of a little face, so he had to rush over to hug Zhang Yifan.
However, when Xu Da heard this, he was disappointed, and when he was about to say something, he saw Zhang Yifan one step ahead of him and said to him, "Wei Guogong, take a step to speak!"
Xu Da was a little surprised when he heard this, so he walked over and listened to what the colt had to say.
Zhang Yifan was not as tall as Xu Da, so he could only lean his neck, lean close to Xu Da's ear, and whispered: "The risk of this battle is not great, Your Majesty needs royal military merits!"
When Xu Da heard this, he was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Yifan's gaze, and couldn't help but show admiration.
When it comes to political consciousness, Xu Da has absolutely no problem. He is not like other generals, after the founding of the country, he began to be arrogant, or arrogant, in short, he has always respected Zhu Yuanzhang and behaved very humblely, which is also the same, and has always been trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The reason why he stopped Zhu Di from personally leading the troops was mainly because he felt that Zhu Di was still young, and his previous experience in fighting pirates and pirates could not be used against the Mongols, and he still needed time to adapt to the war in the north.
In addition, Zhu Di is his son-in-law, and he also cares about Zhu Di very much. In front of him, he felt that it was enough to have him in command. Therefore, he didn't want Zhu Di to go, it was enough to sit in Beiping.
However, Zhang Yifan just reminded him of what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. Xu Da is not stupid, he immediately understood that this was indeed what Zhu Yuanzhang needed, and he also understood what the series of meanings behind this was.
Therefore, after he glanced at Zhang Yifan, he turned his head to look at Zhu Di and said, "It's okay for His Highness to go out as a commander, but you have to perform your own duties?"
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is, after Zhu Di leads the troops to the battle, he cannot personally fight and charge.
He was really afraid that Zhu Di would be enthusiastic for a while, so he directly pulled out his knife and started to do it.
When Zhu Di heard that Xu Da was relieved, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, you are sitting in Beiping, and you know it in your heart. If you're not at ease, let Yifan follow me!"
Zhang Yifan: "......"
Zhu Di, you sixth, on such a cold day, you want to take me to the wild?
Before he could speak, Xu Da nodded and said, "Okay, if there is a big colt with me, then I will rest assured!"
Zhang Yifan: "......"
They are two sons-in-law, and you will do it with yourself as soon as you say a word to me? Have you two asked me for my opinion?
Although Zhang Yifan was very unwilling to think so, it was obvious that no one present had the intention of asking his opinion.
After Zhu Di and Xu Da finished discussing, they began to discuss the specific details of the expedition and left Zhang Yifan there.
When the military discussion was over, and all the generals went back separately and were ready to go to battle, Zhu Di walked up to Zhang Yifan with a smile and said excitedly: "Yifan, look at us, give my father a big surprise at the end of the year!"
Zhang Yifan was a little lazy to pay attention to him,
Aggressive, in his previous life, he was either a fighting, a fighting bull, or simply the kind of sheep who liked to hit people with their heads!
Zhu Yuanzhang sent him over, but he didn't arrange a position for him, so to speak, he is actually an official who walks on orders and eats idle meals.
The result is good, and now I have to go out with the army!
Whether he wanted it or not, when the army on the Beiping side was launched, Zhang Yifan followed Zhu Di and braved the howling Siberian cold wind to step out of Beiping.
At the head of the city, Xu Da accompanied his daughter, and Princess Yan watched them go away.
On the Mongolian side, before they arrived at Yongping, the Ming armies everywhere had already begun to move. The speed of reaction is so fast that I am afraid that these Mongolian *** could not have dreamed of it.
Even because they sent a scout horse and let it out from a distance, they didn't detect the movement of the Ming army and made it very safe, but they didn't know that on the high mountain, there were their own eyes, staring at them.
