"It's really the best of both worlds." Liu Bowen nodded, he still felt that King Chu's whimsy was a little childish. Now I found that this was the best way for the Ming Dynasty and the vassal king.

"But it's a big matter, you'd better discuss it with the other brothers first, and then bring it up together." He said to his disciples:

"Even if you have the confidence to convince them, you have to convince them first."

"Understood." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "As soon as they come back, I will discuss this matter with them." ”

Speaking of which, no one would think that Boss Zhu would be kind enough to let the princes enjoy the blessings of Goryeo for more than half a year, right?

The second, third, fourth, and fifth children had already escorted 2,000 war horses, left Goryeo, and returned to Beiping via Liaodong.

After that, they were ordered to send 2,000 horses to the general's camp. Then, according to the order, as an officer of Yulinwei, he followed the general on the expedition.

As a famous general, Xu Da is well aware that 'being unprepared' is a prerequisite for taking the initiative. However, due to the constraints in the rear, the military supplies and grain were not ready until February and March this year, when the Mongols had already taken precautions, the troops were shrinking, the king was far away, and the Ming army had lost its best fighters.

At this time, I rushed to work on an expedition, but I was afraid that the gains outweighed the losses. Therefore, on the one hand, he made a strong army and made enough gestures to go north to Mobei and smash the royal court, but on the other hand, he secretly mobilized his troops, sent Fu Youde to lead a light cavalry to attack Gray Mountain at night, completely annihilated the 20,000 yuan army entrenched there, and captured Beiyuan Pingzhang Beli Buhua, Taishi Wentong and others.

At the same time, Mu Ying's soldiers were sent out of Gubeikou, and they fought a success, capturing Li Xuan, the prefect of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and his subordinates. Both sides won.

In this battle, Xu Dayi made the Mongols believe that he wanted to take the royal court directly, so he would naturally relax his protection elsewhere. The second is to take advantage of the weakness of the Mongols after losing Wang Baobao, the spiritual leader who can unite them, and they have become scattered and fighting on their own. Instead of attacking its head, it cut off its hands and feet.

~~

After the war, the two armies wiped out more than 30,000 Northern Yuan troops, captured more than 100,000 people, and millions of cattle and sheep. It greatly weakened the strength of the Northern Yuan, making it unable to invade the south for at least ten years.

However, General Xu, who has always had high standards and strict requirements for himself, only asked the soldiers for rewards, and resolutely did not give himself credit.

Because the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was not captured, the country of the Northern Yuan still existed, and sooner or later it would revivenation.

It's still too early for the real victory he is seeking......

"However, the imperial court can finally free up its hands and attack the southwest." Fu Youde comforted him and said, "We have completed the mission entrusted by the emperor. ”

"That's right." Standing on the head of the city in Beiping, looking at the soldiers and their families who welcomed the triumphant return, Xu Da's face finally showed a smile.

"By the way, how are the highnesses doing?"

"All heroic!" Fu Youde showed an incredible expression and said: "Especially His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he really has the courage of ten thousand people, when he attacked the Gray Mountain at night, the Tartars did not break up after the attack because their small relatives were behind them, but fought back on the spot and resisted to the death."

"At that time, the scene was chaotic, I was surrounded by the red-eyed Tartars, and seeing that I was outnumbered, I was ready to cover the King of Qin and King Jin around me to break through. Who knew that the King of Qin shouted to the King of Jin to protect the Marquis of Yingchuan. Then he brandished his mace and rushed up to meet the tartars......"

Although many events have passed, Fu Youde is still shocked by the majesty of the second child. "It's no exaggeration, more than a dozen Tartars, let him smash them all alone. In the firelight, his whole body was covered with blood and brains, like the reincarnation of King Kaiping. Scared the Tartar so much that he turned around and ran away......"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is so powerful?" Xu Da was speechless: "Just looking at the military newspaper, I thought King Jin was more powerful." ”

"Of course, King Jin is also very powerful, but it's different. He is extremely clever in leading troops to fight, and he can always complete my task at the lowest cost. Fu Youde paused, and still commented truthfully: "But his ability to brag is stronger." ”

"This can't be called bragging, just talking about not practicing fake tricks, just practicing not talking about stupid tricks." Xu Da's level of looking at the problem is much higher than Fu Youde. "Besides, the benefits that his subordinates get are more than those of King Qin, who are you willing to mess with if you are replaced?"

"Hehe, do you need to talk about it." Fu Youde smiled embarrassedly.

Meritorious service is still secondary. The key is that in this expedition, more than ten people were killed in the hundred households of King Qin. However, only three people were killed under the command of King Jin. Who wouldn't want to follow the latter?

"However, the brothers under the command of King Qin, you should take care of it again, at least on the same level as King Jin." Xu Da said lightly: "Can't let honest people suffer...... You can't let His Highness hold a grudge. ”

"Yes, thank you for your teachings." Fu Youde actually thinks the same way, but there are some things that are more appropriate for the boss to say.

"I don't know how Mu Ying went all the way?" He asked again: "I only know that they have also achieved great victories, but I don't know the specific results." ”

"It's a little less than yours, but the captives are much larger." Xu Da said lightly: "Because there are too many escorts, I came back later than you, but it's only been these two days, right?" ”

"I don't know how the general's son-in-law who rides the dragon is doing?" Fu Youde asked playfully.

"Hehe......" Xu Da smiled reservedly and said, "It's okay, for a newcomer to the battlefield." ”

"That's right." Fu Youde didn't ask again.

~~

At the same time as Fu Youde's army triumphed, the good news was also rushed to Nanjing City.

When the prince came in with the good news, Zhu Yuanzhang was having dinner at Concubine Dading's.

Seeing the boss rushing in with a face full of ecstasy, he shouted in a gaffe: "Father, great victory, great victory!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's rare for the prince to be like this, could it be that Xu Da captured the Northern Yuan Emperor?" ”

"Not really." The prince paused: "Didn't Uncle Xu say it a long time ago? This time, if you don't fight the Northern Yuan Dynasty, where can you go to capture the Northern Yuan Emperor? ”

"Then there's nothing to be excited about." Zhu Yuanzhang held the soup bowl steadily, and said casually while drinking the soup: "For the general, killing 30,000 or 20,000 enemies is just a routine operation. ”

"Yes, for Uncle Xu. But I never expected that my younger brothers would be so good! Zhu Biao said, slapped the good news in front of Lao Zhu, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Look at this list, the fourth is the first, the third is the second, the second is the third, and Brother Wen Ying is the fourth!" Our old Zhu family has rounded up! ”

"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang was interested, so he hurriedly put down the bowl, picked up the tablecloth and wiped his hands indiscriminately, and then put on his glasses and looked closely.

Boss Zhu looked at it while grinning at the back of his head.

After reading it, he suddenly stood up and laughed: "Let's go, show your mother!" Now let's see how she still throws our faces! ”

P.S. Sorry, the plot idea is a bit stuck today, only two more.
