Chapter 338: After Winning the Pass

When Zhu Fan and Zhu Su, who were the rear army, arrived with the rest of the people, Zhu Di had already completely controlled the situation in Shanhaiguan with the head of Gao Basi Timur and the half-dead Hong Boyan Timur tied to the flagpole.

There is no need for the rear army to spend a single soldier at all.

The Yuan army was a hodgepodge, seeing that the two Timur who were the main generals were killed and captured, and knowing that there was a brigade of the Ming army behind them, the generals of many other races were naturally no longer willing to serve the dead, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Even some Mongol generals chose to submit after several thorns who took the lead in charging and stubbornly resisting were beheaded by Chang Mao and Zhang He.

At this point, Shanhaiguan was decided.

"This ......" looked at Zhu Di, who was covered in blood under the banner of King Yan, Zhu Su was a little shocked, and only after the dog explained was he relieved: "Fourth brother, you are really brave." actually used himself as a bait to lure Gao Basi Timur into battle...... Aren't you afraid that your head will be taken off by him accidentally? ”

"A reckless man, he is also worthy of it?" Zhu Di raised his head, "There is peace above the battle array." Besides, if this can be missed, then I might as well hide in Yingtian for the rest of my life and not show my head. ”

Hearing the absolute confidence in Zhu Di's words, Zhu Su stopped talking. The Ming Dynasty had just started the country and fought a war, and there was no such thing as a noble person or a nobleman, and it was common for Hou Ye Guogong to charge at the head and even deliberately involve danger to lure the enemy. Even Lao Zhu himself often led people to charge in front of him when he was fighting in the past. At this time, none of the surrounding people felt terrified and the sky was falling apart because Zhu Di was facing Gao Basi Timur head-on.

Although it was rare for those nobles to be greedy for life and afraid of death at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it should not be forgotten that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was also established by force.

With these thousands of people as a foundation, the group finally had the confidence to take over the customs and accept prisoners. After a while, the panting Dingliao Wei Ye Wang's subordinates also followed their trails to the pass, and saw that Shanhaiguan had been replaced with the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and was immediately overjoyed and surprised. As soon as he entered the gate, the first thing he did was to take his generals and kneel down to Zhu Su and others to plead guilty:

"The guilty general Ye Wang, arrogant, does not listen to the dispatch, and asks the three highnesses to punish the crime!" Ye Wang knelt down with great sincerity.

"Punishment?" Zhu Su looked at this blood-soaked general, and on the already torn armor, the congealed blood had even turned black. He hurriedly helped this person up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Commander Ye is loyal to his duties, what is the crime?" ”

"But ......" Ye Wang was ashamed, he was resentful at the time, and he just wanted to leave Zhu Su and his party who he thought was dragging oil bottles, and even had the idea of sitting back and watching him fend for himself, which already belonged to the category of great rebellion, and he was naturally very afraid at this time.

"Commander Ye lures the enemy with a lone army in front, if there is no Commander Ye, we will have today's victory. This king thinks that in this battle, the Ye command post should be the first to make the Liaowei, what do you think? Zhu Su turned around and looked around at the generals.

"Reasonable, reasonable!" All the generals are in the way. In this battle, it is true that only Ye Wang's department is in the most dangerous situation, not only did they endure the ambush of Hong Boyan Timur, but also if Hong Boyan Timur was furious and chose to solve them first and then "return" to Shanhaiguan, Ye Wang's 5,000 people would never be lucky. This first credit was given to Ye Wang, and no one had any objections.

"Your Royal Highness......" Ye Wang and the generals of Dingliao Wei were in tears, Ye Wang even took off the helmet on his head, leaned over and kowtowed to Zhu Su and Zhu Di and others, which was regarded as repaying his rude behavior in the past.

At this point, this tiger general of Dingliao Guard can be regarded as truly returning to Zhu Su, the young prince.

For several days, the Shanhaiguan was preparing the collected Yuan army equipment, coordinating the remaining grain and grass in the granary, and sending sentry cavalry to guard against the defenders of Naha's old nest in the east. At this time, they still only had nearly 10,000 people, and they still had more than 20,000 prisoners, and if the defenders of Jinshan raised troops to attack, it would still be a little dangerous. But fortunately, there was no change in the direction of Jinshan, so they began to discuss how to act next.

"It's better to take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and pour out of the nest to take the bird gold mountain. Naha's birdman must have hidden a lot of gold and silver goods there, and he must have plundered them, and your majesty must be glad! Chang Mao's eyes lit up and he suggested.

Daming is indeed short of money and food now, but it is really risky to storm Jinshan. At this time, Zhang He suggested: "Naha's main force is still in Jizhen. If you hear that the back road has been cut off, it is very likely that you will return to the division to attack us. At that time, I will be under attack, and the situation will be in danger. ”

"Judging from the end of the future, I might as well move a division to Qian'an, and find enough ships here to ensure a way out. If there are no ships in the Naha Exit Division, we can attack and defend when we retreat. He pointed to the huge map on the table.

Zhang He's "Qian'an" refers to Qian'an County, which is located in the southwest of Shanhaiguan and adjacent to the sea. Zhu Su thought for a while, turned his head and asked Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, "Second brother, fourth brother, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"I don't have any suggestions. There is just one question: we have nearly 10,000 people here, and the total number of prisoners is more than 20,000. Zhu Fan said.

"It's better to probe the traces of Naha's headquarters first, and then make a decision." Zhu Di said.

Zhu Su was silent. What the two brothers are talking about are the two biggest problems facing their people at present: first, the movement of Naha's headquarters and second, food.

Yes, even after capturing Shanhaiguan, they are still short of food.

The grain and grass hoarded in Shanhaiguan is not much, and it is only enough for 40,000 people for half a month. Originally, Hong Boyan and Gao Basi had Jinshan to provide grain and grass, but now that Shanhaiguan is occupied by the Ming army, Jinshan must have gotten the news, so naturally they will not send any more grain transportation teams.

Or will these captives be pitted directly?

As soon as this idea came out, it was directly rejected by Zhu Su in his mind. The Yuan army is no better than the Japanese Kou, and the Japanese are thieves, so they naturally want to make an example of each other. But the Yuan army is able to confront the Ming head-on opponents, the Ming Dynasty has always adopted the policy of "fighting while pacifying" to the Yuan Dynasty generals, if it is a pit at will, the generals of the Yuan army think that the Ming will not accept prisoners, and in the future against the Ming army, they will not choose to surrender, even if they are desperate, they will choose to fight to the death.

In this way, if you want to extinguish Dayuan in the future, you will definitely have to spend a lot more effort.

"Hmm......" Zhu Su frowned and thought, and after thinking for a while, he finally opened his eyes: "I'll wait, let's leave here and go to the direction of Jizhen." ”
