After seeing that the officials and soldiers of the Liaodong Group from Naha surrendered so easily, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and the others already had some arrogant thoughts in their hearts.

Even if you know that there are still more than 100,000 unsurrendered Yuan troops under Naha's command, fleeing into the desert, you don't take it seriously.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't take those fleeing Yuan troops seriously.

He went to ask Feng Sheng about it, just out of trust in Guo An's premonition a few days ago.

After Feng Sheng's confident persuasion, Zhu Di came back with a relieved face.

Although Guo Qing was reassured, Song Guogong and Ying Guogong were both experienced veterans in combat, and their deployment in escorting a group of Naha to surrender was enough to deal with any attack.

Moreover, we don't believe that those escaped Yuan troops dare to show up again. ”

Guo An sighed helplessly, he couldn't tell Zhu Di that a few days ago, Lan Yu invited Naha out, and he drank too much to force Naha to put on his clothes, which caused Chang Mao to cut Naha out, and remembered the general direction of this Northern Expedition War?

"Your Highness, please forgive Weichen for daring to make an analogy, for example, you are in the situation of Naha, although you really have the intention of surrendering, but you were cut by the enemy during the negotiation and forcibly detained.

So, some of your loyal subordinates, such as Li Wang and Zhu Liang, didn't want to trust the enemy army at all, so they fled with half of their brothers. ”

Zhu Di glared, "Guo Qing, what kind of messy analogy is this?" ”

Guo An said helplessly: "Your Highness, you haven't replied to Weichen's words yet." ”

Zhu Di didn't think about it, so he said: "According to the temperament of Li Wang and Zhu Liang, I must firmly believe that we are unwilling to surrender, and have been leading troops to wander around, ready to wait for an opportunity to save us." ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, then the same must be true of those Yuan troops who are unwilling to surrender." ”

Zhu Di shook his head slightly: "Guo Qing, you don't understand, the Mongolians are not as loyal as Li Wang and Zhu Liang!" ”

Guo An said: "But Your Highness, all the sheep, horses, donkeys, camels, and grain baggage of Naha's department have fallen into the hands of our army, and the 100,000 yuan army that escaped has no these grain baggage, how can they survive in the desert?" ”

"Moreover, without Naha, there are so many Northern Yuan officials, even if they flee back to the Yuan Court, it is a serious crime, and it is even more shameful......"

"Into the fuck ......"

At this time, Zhu Di finally understood something, and stared at Guo An tightly: "According to Guo Qing's intentions, whether it is out of loyalty, interests, or the persecution of the Northern Yuan court, those fleeing Yuan troops have to fight those ideas of surrendering troops and baggage?" ”

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness is wise. ”

Zhu Di got up directly, and just wanted to go out again, but he remembered something and sighed slightly.

"What do we know? Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others are all veterans of my Ming Dynasty, and they are also the generals and deputy generals of the Northern Expedition Army, and they are not afraid of our Yan King at all.

What's more, now more than 200,000 horses from Naha's subordinate have been surrendered without bloodshed, and there are countless food burdens.

With such a great achievement, they all thought that the fleeing Yuan army had already lost their courage, and they would not listen to the words of our Yan King. ”

"Report!"

At this time, a personal guard walked in, and reported with a happy face: "Your Highness, our army is near the Yimi River, and we have captured more than 20,000 remnants of Naha's soldiers, and 50,000 carts and horses. ”

"Very good."

Zhu Di's face was full of joy.

When the guard withdrew, Zhu Di looked at Guo An, but saw Guo An's solemn face.

"With such great joy, why is Guo Qing so worried?"

Guo An sighed softly, "Your Highness, now that my army has won one victory after another, it is as if the Naha Exit Department is like those pigs in my Yanwangfu Farm, allowing my army to capture it."

In this way, no one took those unsurrendered Yuan troops who fled to their hearts. ”

This will, because Zhu Di was in a good mood when he heard that he had captured another 20,000 remnants of Naha, so the vigilance that had just been flashed disappeared without a trace, "Guo Qing don't worry, the Yuan army that has not yet surrendered has more than 100,000, and wherever it passes, it must be huge."

As long as they dare to show their faces, they will definitely be detected by our army's cavalry sentinels. ”

"Alas......"

Guo An sighed helplessly, although he had only seen the two sides of the Governor Pu Ying.

However, I really can't bear that loyal general to commit suicide just because of this mistake.

"Your Highness, since I came to Liaodong with the army of 10,000 Yan Shanwei, I have never captured the Mongols, and I have not received a single credit.

Nowadays, there are not many Mongols around, so why don't you send a guard and let them go out to see if they can catch some Mongols and get some credit? ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Guo Qing's words are also a clever idea. ”

Guo An said: "However, this matter needs to be agreed by the general. ”

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing rest assured, this little face, Song Guogong will still give it to us." ”

After saying that, he walked straight out.

Sure enough, as Zhu Di said, after he informed Feng Sheng of this matter, they were all generals who led troops to fight, and Feng Sheng could also understand that Zhu Di did not take credit for his subordinates.

It just so happens that there will be no threat to the entire Liaodong periphery. And along the way, Zhu Di was also respectful and respectful, unlike Chang Mao's bastards, who didn't obey orders and didn't have the slightest respect for him.

Therefore, Feng Sheng directly agreed.

The right is to sell Zhu Di, the king of Yan, a face.

After returning to the big tent, Zhu Di directly summoned the thousands of households and commanders of the left and right guards of Yanshan to come to the big tent to discuss matters.

All the commanders and thousands of households looked listless, and they were originally full of confidence to follow Zhu Di into the Northern Expedition Army, ready to make several great achievements under the leadership of King Yan.

However, what they did not expect was that they were only marching along the way, and they did not participate in a single battle, and the brand-new steel knives and spears in the hands of 10,000 brothers were not stained with a drop of blood.

Zhang Xing, the commander of the left guard, took the lead in asking: "Your Highness, but do you want the class teacher to go back?" ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "We have been itching all over our bodies in the past few months, and we are going to take you out for a stroll to see if we can capture some Yuan troops, what do you think?" ”

"Really?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were full of joy.

"Your Highness, can I really go out and kill those Tartars?"

"Your Highness, we have a clear goal, this way to see the excitement of the rammers around the front to kill, the last general and others can only nest in the camp, and they are all hairy all day long!"

"Your Highness......"

Zhu Di's face was solemn, and he said: "Guo Qing thinks that those Yuan troops who fled into the desert may still return, and we are going to take you and others to catch the rabbits." ”

"Your Highness, don't say it's a rabbit, even if you want the last general and others to enter the desert and catch the fleeing Yuan army, the last general is willing to go."

"Please also ask Your Highness to order, the last general and others will set off as a whole army, and those rabbits will be caught by His Highness......"

Zhu Di said: "When the order goes down, I, Yan Shanwei, will immediately make a fire to cook."

After eating and drinking, take all your belongings, and after an hour, set off with us. ”

"Obey."

All the conductors and thousands of households bowed with excitement, and then walked out quickly.

In the big tent, the moment Zhu Di opened his mouth, Guo An felt that something was wrong, as if he had lifted a stone and hit his own foot again.

After the big tent was empty, Guo An still had a glimmer of hope.

"Your Highness, are you going too?"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Such a big event, we must go and lead the troops." ”

Guo An: "......"

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An, remembered something, and said, "Guo Qing, as a civil official, doesn't have to go with us." ”

Guo An immediately said solemnly, "Your Highness is a daughter, you can go in person, how can Weichen hide in the camp and enjoy Qingfu?" ”

"In this way, then Guo Qing will go and prepare."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

As for Guo An, he could only sigh slightly in his heart, he was definitely unwilling to go. But it was he who brought it up, so how could he stay in the camp?

If something happens to Zhu Di, Lao Zhu will definitely not let him go!

Soon, the entire Yanshanwei camp was noisy.

Whether it's going out to catch rabbits, or fishing for military exploits?

As long as he can go out, it will be the most celebratory thing for Yan Shanwei, a group of generals who have been idle for more than four months!

An hour later.

Zhu Di was fully armored, with 10,000 Yanshan guards, out of the camp, and headed north.

They were to catch up with Naha's subordinates, and then follow behind, quietly waiting for the Yuan army that had not surrendered to take the bait.

A day later.

On the top of a mountain about forty or fifty zhang high, Zhu Di stood at the top, looking into the distance.

It's just that, at a glance, there is no shadow of a person except for the overlapping mountains.

couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Guo Qing, are you sure that those undescended Yuan troops will hide in these mountains, ready to loot those grain baggage?" ”

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, in addition to this mountain forest, Weichen really can't think of where else to hide when those undescended Yuan troops want to loot the convoy?" ”

On the side, a thousand households directly asked angrily: "Guo Changshi, what if those Yuan troops loot elsewhere?" ”

Guo An said: "There are sentinels everywhere along the way to probe back and forth, if they dare to show up and be entangled by the cavalry of our army, then wouldn't they send sheep into the tiger's mouth?" ”

The thousand households smiled, and then did not say anything more.

What Guo An said, they naturally understood.

Now, the Northern Expedition Army is the overlord of this land, even those Yuan troops who have not surrendered, they dare not show their heads in the slightest, as long as they are stuck by the cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army, they will not be able to escape.

Therefore, as long as they want to fight those ideas of subjugation and heavy grain and grass, they can only do their tricks in this mountain forest.

It's just that, looking at the large mountains and forests in front of him, Zhu Di frowned slightly, "But Guo Qing, with such a big mountain forest, can't I, Yan Shanwei, search one mountain after another?"

What if there is really a Yuan army hiding in it, seeing my army searching, retreat in advance, and wait until my Yan Shanwei leaves, and then return?

So, isn't it useless? ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, then I, Yanshanwei, might as well not send a sentry horse." ”

Zhu Di said: "Where can you find those Yuan troops without sending sentinels?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, our army can hide in a mountain forest, wait for the rabbit, and wait quietly for the Yuan army to take the bait." ”

Zhu Di asked: "What if I, Yan Shanwei, didn't defend this piece of mountain forest?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, that means that those Yuan troops have really fled into the depths of the desert, no matter how much our army searches, it can only be in vain." ”
