Chapter 249 Xu Da Takes over the Military Power and the Grassland Is in Turmoil
Chapter 249 Xu Da turned the tables and seized military power, and the grassland was in a storm!
Liaohetao.
North of Xinmin and south of Zhangwu.
An unknown mountain forest.
Zhu Di didn't know what the mountain was called.
He could only judge the location based on the general topography and direction, probably between Xinmin and Zhangwu.
After rushing into Liaohetao, the Liaodong map they carried only had a rough description.
Once they continued to go deeper into the grassland, the Liaodong map would be useless.
A group of people stood in front of a mound in the forest.
Starting from Anping Mountain, more than 50 brothers who died along the way were buried here.
The nearby tribes have not been cleared yet.
And they didn't sleep for a day and a night, and Nahachu's pursuers who were besieging them probably wouldn't give them too much time.
They had to hurry up and rest on the spot. If they cremated their brothers here, the surrounding tribes would definitely find out.
So they could only bury them here secretly.
After a while.
Zhu Di turned around and looked around. Of the nearly 1,000 people, only 800 were left.
"Let us brothers make an agreement here. In the future, brothers who have the opportunity to come here must bring the brothers buried here home..."
He didn't know why such a big scene had been created this time.
Will there be another opportunity to come to the border again in the future?
After all, there are probably many people who don't want him to have access to military power, old man...
(Zhu Yuanzhang: Bastard! What are you speculating about! We are still planning to let you support half of the Ming Dynasty!)
After that, Zhu Di pulled out a small dagger and cut his finger.
Other brothers drew their swords, cut their fingers, and dripped blood on the ground.
This is a blood oath between everyone and the brothers buried here, and the heavens and the earth will be a witness!
After the end, Zhu Di ordered, "Rest on the spot!"
After the order was issued, the soldiers went to the forest first and tied their horses to the trees with fresh and lush grass. Except for a few sentinels, the others slept on the ground.
Soon, snoring sounds came one after another deep in the forest.
Zhu Di was not very tired. After a short rest, he woke up refreshed.
He spread the map flat and stared at it.
After a long time.
Rustle...
Footsteps came from beside him.
Look up...
Zhang Qi and Tan Yuan came over.
The two sat on the ground opposite Zhu Di and looked at the map.
Zhang Qi asked: "Brother Zhu, which direction should we go next?"
Zhu Di pointed at Datong, Yulin, Beiping, and the boundary between the Ming-controlled area in Liaodong and the grassland.
"Most of the fortresses on the boundary line are built on the continuous mountains and rivers, and the terrain is complex..."
In various passages, the court set up fortresses to guard against the grassland.
The Yuan court also guarded against the court, and settled dense and powerful tribes near the passages that were easy to march.
If we cannot rush into the Ming-controlled area without alerting the tribes, we will most likely be entangled by the surrounding tribes if we pass through the complex terrain between the two sides quickly.
If the garrison troops in the fortresses on the imperial court do not come out to support us, it will be very dangerous.
So many days have passed.
Feng Sheng probably knows that he is trapped in Liaodong.
As long as Feng Sheng gives an order to the fortresses on the border: strictly guard and do not leave the fortresses without permission.
The chance of rushing back from the Liaodong border line is very small.
Zhu Di did not know that Feng Sheng did give a similar order on the grounds that the war was about to start.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, I still don't want to take my brothers deep into the heart of the grassland and return to the Central Plains from Beiping and other places. Zhu Di looked up and looked at the two of them: "I know that everyone is eager to try this plan, but the journey is too long, tens of thousands of miles, and the risks are also great. "
"Of course, no matter which road we choose, we will continue to go north for a while, and then turn west. If we can't rush back from Liaodong, then we will go deep into the heart of the grassland, how about it? "
Zhang Qi and Tan Yuan looked at each other and nodded.
…
That night.
After a good sleep, the brothers woke up refreshed.
The foot of the mountain, where they entered the mountain.
After Zhu Di rode past the formation, he asked loudly with a smile: "Have you slept enough?"
"Yes!"
The brothers laughed in response.
Although they were trapped in the grassland, everyone was optimistic.
Zhu Di smiled and nodded, pointing to the north, "We have slept enough, let's go!"
Before the words fell, he took the lead in riding out.
Eight hundred brothers followed closely behind.
Zhou Lang followed Tan Yuan, and asked while running: "Bai Hu, why did we waste time and energy when we set out and return to the position when we entered the forest?"
Mr. Zhu has a lot to think about during this period.
It's better to ask Lao Tan about this kind of small question.
Tan Yuan smiled proudly.
What a coincidence!
During the daytime discussion, he asked Mr. Zhu.
"Didn't you read Sun Tzu's Art of War? You don't know this? "Tan Yuan glanced at Zhou Lang with disdain.
Zhou Lang's lips twitched, too hurtful!
This kind of small detail, his grandson didn't even teach him!
Zhang Wu rode his horse beside him, looking at Zhou Lang's injured expression, secretly holding back his laughter.
After Tan Yuan succeeded, he shouted: "It's very simple, we continue to go north along the way we entered the mountain during the day, and the pursuers behind us also understand that we enter the forest to hide and rest, so we won't waste time entering the mountain, and the brothers buried in it won't be disturbed!"
...
"Brother Zhu..."
It was four o'clock in the morning.
Zhu Di led his brothers to slow down their pace and let the horses slow down. Zhang Qi, who had gone out to explore the way, returned.
Zhu Di raised his hand, and the brothers behind him reined in their horses and stopped...
Zhang Qi rushed to Zhu Di and said solemnly, "Brother Zhu, there are several tribes ahead..."
"Are you sure it's several tribes together?"
Zhang Qi nodded, "No doubt, although the three tribes ahead camped together for the night, they were clearly divided, and they were definitely not one tribe."
That night, they rushed north for a hundred miles.
This was the third time this had happened!
Tribes can't be so close to each other.
Unless it was a collective action.
And it looked like they were heading south.
"If nothing unexpected happened, it's probably a nearby tribe that received an order to go south to the border and block the border!"
Zhu Di frowned and paused.
As far as he knew, Nahachu and Wang Ting seemed to be a bit dirty.
The tribes in Liaohetao were under the jurisdiction of Wang Ting.
It's impossible for Nahachu to negotiate with Wang Ting so quickly, right?
In fact, the reason why it was so fast was because of Nai Er Bu Hua.
Without asking Toghon Temur for permission, Nairbuhua, as the Grand Commandant of the Royal Court, directly ordered the surrounding tribes to move south.
To prevent Zhu Di from attacking the tribes.
He also deliberately asked the tribes to travel together.
Nairbuhua was determined to keep Zhu Di!
Everyone looked at Zhu Di, waiting for his decision.
After a moment, Zhu Di gathered his thoughts and looked at Zhang Qi and others, "Continue to go north, find a small tribe, fight it, change the warhorse, and replenish supplies at the same time..."
Their warhorses basically did not get a rest, and they did not get too much concentrated feed to feed them. They did not get good care. After continuous long-distance raids, those who were not exhausted also had various problems and were useless.
If you want to keep moving forward, you can starve.
But you must maintain the reserve of warhorses in the team.
Make sure they can be replaced at any time.
After the decision, Zhu Di and others continued to move, avoiding the tribes in front, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts...
...
One day later.
Zhang Yu and Li Chenggui arrived in Liaoyang one after another.
Outside Liaoyang City, a white yurt stands tall.
Accompanied by Zhang Qu, Zhang Yu rode his horse towards the yurt.
Seeing Nai'erbuhua standing outside the yurt from a distance, he slowly slowed down.
When he got closer.
Zhang Yu turned over and dismounted, and was the first to clasp his fists: "Grand Marshal."
Nai'erbuhua was the Grand Marshal, the highest military officer assisting the emperor. He, the head of the Privy Council, was several levels lower.
Nai'erbuhua supported Zhang Yu and asked with a smile, "I heard from the King of Liaoyang that you got a big bargain this time?"
Damn! You have the nerve to complain after losing!
Zhang Yu cursed in his heart, spread his hands, and complained with a smile: "Grand Marshal, you don't know my situation, I..."
Nai'erbuhua observed with a smile on his face, secretly thinking, 'Is it really just that the situation is too difficult, or is it colluding with the Ming Dynasty? '
Nahachu's original intention of complaining was to remind him that Zhang Yu might be secretly colluding with the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhang Yu could not be dealt with at will.
Without solid evidence, the Han officials who were arbitrarily dealt with and were loyal to the royal court would be sad.
"Don't worry, I have convinced the King of Liaoyang, and he also agreed that he would never embarrass you." Nai'er Buhua grabbed Zhang Yu's hand and pulled Zhang Yu towards the yurt.
As he walked, he said, "However, you didn't try your best before, and it was indeed a bit too much to just take advantage. This is to encircle and suppress the fourth prince of Ming..."
Zhang Yu's eyes widened instantly, as if struck by lightning, and his neck and below instantly stiffened.
Turning his head with difficulty, "The fourth prince of Ming?"
Nai'er Buhua was stunned, "You don't even know that it was the fourth prince of Ming who took the jade seal?"
We know Zhu Silang!
Ghost Old Four!
Sworn Brother Four!
...
Zhang Yu cursed in his heart, and suddenly understood everything.
No wonder, how dare an ordinary person come up with the strategy of raising the enemy!
No wonder Ghost Old Four was embarrassed when they swore brotherhood!
No wonder, so powerful!
It feels like he is the fourth son of Emperor Zhu!
'Damn Ghost Old Four! If we meet again, I will beat you to death! ’
Zhang Yu collected his thoughts, came back to his senses, and shook his head, "During the whole pursuit, the King of Liaoyang did not inform me. I just know that this person was sent by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to snatch the imperial seal."
Nairu Buhua glanced at Zhang Qu.
‘Nahachu misunderstood Zhang Yu! ’
First of all, Zhang Yu did not seem to be in disguise.
Even if Zhang Yu was in disguise, Zhang Qu could not have disguised so realistically.
If he colluded with the Ming court and secretly communicated with the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and cooperated with each other, Zhang Yu and his servant would not be so shocked now.
“Now you know, you can’t work without effort next time. This time, the King of Yi will come, and the King of Liaoyang is willing to unconditionally obey the command of the King of Yi in order to jointly attack and kill the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhang Yu’s heart was in turmoil, and he smiled and nodded, “I will definitely follow the instructions of the Taiwei.”
Zhang Yu did not realize it.
Just because he did not know that Zhu Silang was the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, he showed surprise.
He escaped a disaster.
"General, isn't Prince Yi going to get married soon? And Prince Yi is far away in Buir Lake, how can he come?"
The fourth son really stirred up a hornet's nest this time!
It's fine that Nahachu targeted the fourth son.
Now even Prince Yi Toghon Temur wants to get involved.
But as far as he knows, Prince Yi's wife died of illness last year, and Prince Yi will remarry a new wife in the near future.
The candidate for the princess is rumored to be the daughter of a powerful noble in Khorin, Wuyunqige, who is known as the white swan of the grassland.
Khorin is the location of the royal court.
Prince Yi's new princess is the daughter of a powerful noble in the royal court.
To put it bluntly, Prince Yi is preparing for the throne.
A future Mongolian leader abandoned the important matter of getting married and came to preside over the encirclement and suppression of the fourth child.
The fourth child’s luck is too bad!
"King Yi is not in Yu'erhai. He is now in 'Haoerzhen'. He is going south to inspect various departments on the grassland. At the same time, he is on the way to greet the princess who has set off from Helin. By chance, he encountered the encirclement and suppression of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, , Changshengtian is guiding us to eliminate the enemy in the future..."
King Yi made an excuse to welcome the princess, but took a detour south to inspect various departments in the grassland.
In fact, it is to prepare for the throne.
He came to Liaoyang, except for two missions that can be pointed out.
There is another thing that cannot be said clearly.
It was to act as an outpost for King Yi and win over King Liaoyang.
Whether these powerful factions support him or not will determine whether King Yi can successfully succeed to the throne.
"Let's not delay outside. We have found traces of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, and news came back from the Ming-controlled area in Liaodong. Feng Sheng is already gathering troops. We will discuss these matters today. We have decided today to set out to pursue the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty... "
…
Jinzhou.
The reception room of the General Military Mansion.
Xu Da had a dirty look on his face, he was a guest, and he sat at the head of the table directly and domineeringly.
Ji Gang stood aside and peeked secretly.
As far as he knew, Wei Guogong was a good old man who would not fight or rob, but this time, when he came to Song Guogong's territory, he actually sat directly in the position of his master.
‘It seems that Zhu Silang, the son-in-law, has a very important position in Wei Guogong’s heart! ’
Ta-ta-ta...
The sound of footsteps interrupted Ji Gang's thoughts and he turned his head...
Feng Sheng walked over in a hurry.
When I entered the door, I saw Xu Da with a solemn expression and still sitting in his seat, slightly stunned.
After regaining consciousness, he walked quickly, "Third brother, I have alarmed you. It must be for Shiro, right? When I knew the specific news, I mobilized troops as soon as possible. I just went to the military camp for inspection."
Xu Da glanced at Feng Sheng, stood up, and his face softened, "Guosheng, after so many days, why are you just mobilizing troops now?"
Feng Sheng was slightly stunned.
Guosheng was his former name.
Xu Da called him Zeng Jin's name to express a kind of brotherhood.
At the same time, he questioned him.
This is sending a signal.
If he interferes next, Xu Da will not care about brotherhood.
Tsk!
The status of this son-in-law is very important!
"Third brother, I only found out recently." Feng Sheng then calmed down his thoughts and said angrily: "When Silang first came, I asked him whether His Majesty knew about the news about the national jade seal, and whether he had a mission..."
…
He does it without leaking, so why should you be afraid?
Xu Da took a deep look at the angry, aggrieved and annoyed Feng Sheng.
Brothers for many years, Feng Sheng did everything right, how could he not know.
He didn't have time to pursue these matters.
Mention it, just knock Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng should keep these words to his Majesty.
"Now that we have assembled our troops, can we set off now? Before we came to Liaodong, His Majesty gave us an order. Next, we will take over the entire Liaodong..."
The corners of Feng Sheng's eyes trembled slightly.
My heart suddenly turned upside down, ‘Misjudgement? The emperor attaches great importance to Zhu Silang? If not, why was such an order issued? ’
Waves of cold air rushed straight to the Tianling Cap.
The emperor's reaction was beyond his expectation.
This is the case now. When this matter is over, what will the emperor do to me?
After coming back to his senses, he patted his chest and said, "Third brother, let alone His Majesty's order, even without Your Majesty's order, I would have risked my life!"
Zhu Shiro may be dead.
But next, whether Zhu Silang is dead or alive, he will have to fight for his life to perform.
Even so, this level may not be easy to pass in the future.
This time, his mistake was that he misjudged the importance of Zhu Silang in Emperor Zhu's heart!
Xu Da looked deeply at Feng Sheng, then walked out quickly.
"Wei Guogong, Wei Guogong..."
Xu Dagang walked to the door and followed the childish sounds...
Zhu Xiongying broke away from Zhu Xi, ran towards him, hugged Xu Da's legs, raised his head, and his eyes instantly became wet, "Wei Guogong, you must rescue your fourth uncle."
Others may not risk their lives for Uncle Four.
But Wei Guogong will definitely do it.
The fourth uncle is the son-in-law of Wei Guogong.
Every time he brought delicious food back to Jinling, his fourth uncle would give it to Duke Wei first.
The imperial grandfather was so jealous because of this matter.
Xu Da picked up Zhu Xiongying and wiped Zhu Xiongying's tears with his sleeves. At the same time, he smiled and said: "Great grandson, your fourth uncle is very powerful. He is still my son-in-law. I will definitely work hard. Grandson is waiting in Jinzhou with peace of mind." Good news sir.”
…
Xu Da forcefully seized Feng Sheng's military power.
Without stopping for a moment, he led the troops from Jinzhou.
Liaoyang.
Toot toot…
The trumpets sounded deafening.
The black cavalry group formed a formation outside Liaoyang City.
Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at the endless group of cavalry behind him, frowning.
One hundred thousand!
A hundred thousand people gathered when Naha came out alone!
And King Yi, who is waiting in the grassland, can at least gather this number!
Two hundred thousand cavalrymen joined forces to attack and suppress...
He desperately wanted to deliver a message to the fourth child, don't stop, run! Run as fast as you want!
But now he was trapped in the army, and Zhang Qu was too obvious to send a message to the fourth child.
"Combined attack to defeat the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, let's go!"
The moment the horn sounded, Naha drew his sword and shouted.
"Combined attack to destroy the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Combined attack to destroy the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty!"
…
Groups of cavalry set out in great force.
"Father, it's so spectacular! So spectacular!" Lee Bang-won's face flushed, and he shouted excitedly: "The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty can die like this, and he died heroically and wonderfully!"
Lee Seong-gye smiled slightly, this is nothing.
There are only 100,000.
There will be more on the grassland.
He has seen wars of hundreds of thousands of people.
It is so spectacular that it covers the sky and the sun.
Seeing the flag commanding them to set off, Lee Seong-gye raised his hand and waved, shaking the reins while whispering: "Work hard, if our elite troops can suppress the elite troops of Ming Dynasty this time, it won't be long before we can have such a spectacular army..."
