The old man said impatiently: "Okay, okay, Kuisheng, you send all these New Year's goods to Dashan and Iron Hammer overnight, so as not to make their family suspicious." ”

"Yes, Dad."

Kui Sheng hurriedly answered, then picked up the package and walked out in the dark.

When he arrived outside the house, he found that the people from the same village who came back with him also came out of their respective homes, knocked on the doors of their neighbors one by one, and began to deliver New Year's goods overnight.

Kui Sheng's heart couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Soon, the whole village was in an uproar.

At the same time, in Beiping Mansion, I don't know how many villages were like Kuisheng's village, and suddenly became noisy at night.

Many people didn't sleep peacefully that night, but they slept very sweetly.

……

Following.

The entire Yanwang Mansion was beaming with joy up and down.

It's just that in less than half a day, King Yan wantonly distributed meat and New Year's goods to the top and bottom of the house, and it spread all over Beiping City.

From the political envoy to the capital command department, to the gentry and common people in the city, they were all dumbfounded.

"Where did you hear this rumor? Up and down in Yanwang's Mansion, plus the three guards of Yanshan, nearly 20,000 people, where did Yanwangfu get so much meat? ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme, even if it's one person, two or two meat, how much does it take? And how much money does it have to cost? ”

……

"One of our distant relatives is a soldier, and he is on an errand in the right guard of Yanshan, so we went to ask about it, there is no such thing!"

“…… The first cousin of our father-in-law's family is a scribe in the Yanwang Mansion, and there is no such thing......

"Tsk, you're going to spread rumors everywhere day by day......"

"It's true......"

Even if the matter of King Yan's arrogant distribution of meat New Year's goods is spread in Beiping Mansion, there are still many people who choose not to believe it.

And the top and bottom of the Yanwang Mansion, even including those artisans who only got two taels of meat, faced with the curiosity of those people, they all denied it.

However, the officials of the Political Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Division, and the Command Department were full of bitterness.

They know that the New Year's goods distributed by King Yan are not just as rumored!

The Lost Prince!

……

"Hmph, what a loser prince!"

Yingtian City, in the Fengtian Palace, Lao Zhu looked at the news handed over by the Jinyi guard, and complained angrily to Zhu Biao on the side.

"The dignified King Yan slaughtered 500 pigs, 500 sheep, and 500 chickens and ducks at one time to distribute New Year's goods up and down the Yan Wang's mansion. And for our father, he only sent ten pigs, ten sheep, and ten catties of sugar. ”

Zhu Biao chuckled and said with relief: "Father and Emperor are angry, and when the New Year is over, Song Guogong and Ying Guogong will lead a large army to the north."

This time, the fourth child will also go out with the army, and it just so happens that this year, Yanwangfu seems to have made some money, and he has given some favors to the upper and lower levels of the house.

The child thinks the fourth child is doing the right thing......"

"We heard that this matter was admonished by the long history Guo An?" Lao Zhu asked thoughtfully.

Zhu Biao replied: "It seems to be this person." ”

Lao Zhu nodded slightly, "There is such a long history in the old fourth mansion, so we can rest assured." ”

Zhu Biao sighed with emotion, "Yes, I heard that although this person is a long history, he never pays attention to political affairs, and has a clear division of labor with Zhu Fu, a long history, and thinks about studying some craftsmen's things all day long, and has never had any desire to fight for power and profit." ”

Lao Zhu smiled lightly, "Biao'er, you still underestimate this person." ”

Zhu Biao's face changed, "What does my father mean?" ”

Lao Zhu said: "Although this person does not have the heart to fight for power and profit, but this person is very talented, just those objects that he has studied make the Yanwang Mansion admire him very much."

The most important thing is that this person can bring benefits to the upper and lower levels of the Yanwang Mansion.

The world is big, and the stomach is the biggest.

We think that all the officials up and down the Yanwang Mansion may respect this person, and they have already surpassed Zhu Fu of Changshi.

Even the fourth child, in some things, will listen to this person's words! ”

Zhu Biao's face changed slightly, "Father's intention is that this person has a lot of plans?" ”

Lao Zhu slowly shook his head, "It shouldn't be, we haven't heard of anyone this person deliberately entrapment?"

Moreover, the fourth kid is a ghost, if this person has any small movements, the fourth should be able to detect it. ”

"Father is wise."

Zhu Biao slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "But this person has a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Well, as long as this son doesn't have any ambitions, he will definitely be able to serve me in the future."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, you have also seen the newly built cement wharf in the north of the city."

We're going to use cement to pave some cement roads, what do you think? ”

"Paving the cement road?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but start thinking, "I don't know where my father wants to build a cement road?" ”

Lao Zhu said: "We want to repair to Xi'an." ”

Zhu Biao was shocked, "Father, the capital is thousands of miles away from Xi'an, just called for labor, how many young people are needed, and now the Northern Yuan has not yet been destroyed......"

"Let's think about ...... again"

……

In the twentieth year of Hongwu, on the second day of the first month.

Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying, who had been training in Beiping Mansion for a year and a half, finally received the emperor's order.

Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Guo, was ordered to be the general of the conquest, Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, was the left deputy general, Yongchang Hou Lanyu was the right deputy general, Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi was the left general, Dongchuan Marquis Hu Hai, Wuding Marquis Guo Ying was the right general, and the former military capital supervised Shang Wei Counselor Military, leading 200,000 troops to the Northern Expedition.

In addition, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen, Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao...... and other sons and daughters of the founding heroes of the country, all marched with the Northern Expedition army.

Obviously, the second generation of martial artists such as Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen, and Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao were sent by Lao Zhu to follow veterans such as Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to intern on the battlefield.

As for Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he led the left and right guards of Yanshan and went out with the army.

Although he is not the commander of the army, when necessary, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can directly take over the command of the army.

This point is clear to the whole army of the Northern Expedition, and no one opposes it.

Just a few days after the New Year's Festival, Lao Zhu's will was sent to Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, there are only 200,000 people in Jinshan, right?"

In the heart of the palace, Guo An said with a relaxed face.

"More than that!"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly, "For so many years, the officials, generals and troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who retreated from the rout of Guannei to the land of Liaodong have all gathered under the command of Naha.

Therefore, Naha's strength should be more than the strength that my Daming has proven. ”

"That's enough."

Guo An's face was full of confidence, "In this battle, I Daming will definitely be able to easily win Naha." ”

"It's nature."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Since the beginning of the year before last, my father has been storing grain in Songtingguan, Daning, Huizhou, and Fuyutun, as well as some weapons and equipment.

As soon as the Northern Expeditionary Army arrives, it will definitely be able to defeat Nanaha in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Guo An said casually.

Zhu Di turned his head, looked at Guo An, and teased: "In this way, Guo Changshi doesn't need to worry." ”

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness has misunderstood, Weichen has never been worried. ”

"That's fine."

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"According to my father's will, the Northern Expedition Army will arrive in Tongzhou in half a month. At that time, we need to take Guo Qing into the ranks of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and ask Guo Qing to prepare. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen has already been prepared."

Guo An said with a solemn face.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

However, it was the first time to participate in such a large-scale war, and it was fake that Guo An was not nervous.

Fortunately, Guo An had already revealed to Liu Baiwei and Guo's father about going out with the army.

Therefore, this New Year's Festival, Guo's father and Guo's mother and her family came to Beiping Mansion.

Until now, I haven't gone back.

I heard that in half a month, Guo An would go out with the army.

Guo's mother and Liu Baiwei, in addition to worrying about Guo An's hard life in the military camp, did not worry much about Guo An's safety.

After all, everyone knows that the Northern Yuan Tartars are no longer the opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Guo An is still by King Yan's side, basically as long as King Yan is fine, then Guo An will definitely be safe.

……

Time flies, and half a month passes quickly.

February 3rd.

The Northern Expedition arrived in Tongzhou.

Zhu Di led two guards on the left and right of Yanshan, and 10,000 soldiers were incorporated into the Northern Expedition army.

Feng Sheng sent sentinel cavalry detectives according to Lao Zhu's instructions, and Naha really sent troops to garrison Gyeongju.

So, Feng Sheng directly ordered Lan Yu, the deputy general of the left, to lead 10,000 light cavalry and brave the heavy snow to attack and kill.

Taking advantage of the defenselessness of the Gyeongju guard Guolai, Lan Yu directly killed Guolai and captured Guolai's son Bulanxi, as well as thousands of Northern Yuan Tartars.

Immediately, the army took advantage of the victory and pursued.

In March, the Northern Expeditionary Army left Songting Pass.

For the sake of safety, Feng Sheng ordered the army to repair in Daning, and built the four cities of Kuanhe, Huizhou, Fuyu and Daning.

And along the way, Guo An just followed Zhu Di, and with the mighty army going north, in addition to feeling that the march was hard, he didn't even put a single cannonball.

It's boring.

With the Northern Expedition army stationed in Daning, Nahachu on Jinshan directly abandoned Jinshan, the old nest that had been in operation for many years, and ran to Taizhou.

In this regard, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and the others were not in a hurry at all, and began to look for fighters while sending sentry horses around.

I've been waiting for two months.

The weather was gradually getting warmer, and Zhu Di and Guo An were sitting bored in the room, staring at a map of Liaodong in front of them in a daze.

Suddenly, a guard reported outside the house.

"Your Highness, the general asks His Royal Highness King Yan to discuss the affairs with the commander."

"The king will go now."

Zhu Di answered, waited by the guards, put on his armor, and walked out.

As for Guo An, he could only sit bored.

Less than a moment later, though.

Another guard shouted outside: "Guo Changshi, His Royal Highness King Yan invites you to go to the Shuai tent." ”

"I'll go right away."

Guo Anxin was startled, and hurriedly responded, with the help of the two Yan Wang guards, put on a set of leather armor, and went to the handsome tent.

"Xiaguan Guo An has seen His Royal Highness King Yan and seen all the generals!"

In the tent, a group of generals have already gathered.

"Guo Qing, please get up quickly." Zhu Di said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When Guo An got up, he found that there was a tartar in the handsome tent, and a puzzle flashed in his eyes!

Zhu Di said to the tartar: "Nai Rawu, this person is Guo An, the descendant of Guo Taishi, and now he is the right long history of our palace." ”

Nairawu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly saluted Guo An: "Nairawu has seen Guo Changshi!" ”

"Your Highness, who is this person?" Guo An wondered.

Zhu Di said: "This person is Naha's former cronies, who was captured by my Ming Dynasty and surrendered to my Ming Dynasty. ”

……

Thank you for the 500 reward of the big man with the right to speak~~~
