Chapter 254 Zhu Yuanzhang Sent an Envoy to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to Redeem Zhu Di!

"My Lords, who has anything else to report?"

As Jiang Yu approached the entrance of Fengtian Hall, he heard the voices of the court about to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I have urgent news!"

Inside the hall...

The ministers bent their knees slightly, ready to salute.

With surprise on their faces, they turned their heads to follow the voice...

Jiang Yu hurriedly walked into the hall, stood still, and held up the letter, "Your Majesty, the latest news from Liaodong."

The ministers stared at the small piece of paper held in Jiang Yu's hands.

After Xu Da, Duke of Wei, hurriedly left Jinling and rushed to Liaodong, everyone slowly inquired about it, and then the news that Zhu Silang was trapped in Liaodong came back.

Everyone already knew it.

Zhu Silang accompanied the grandson on the trip to Liaodong, and at the same time shouldered the secret mission of finding the imperial seal for Emperor Zhu.

Could it be that Zhu Silang was rescued by Xu Da with the imperial seal that Emperor Zhu had been thinking about?

Many people looked at Zhu Yuanzhang obscurely.

‘The emperor will be so happy again, he can’t stop smiling.’

Zhu Yuanzhang originally frowned slightly.

After hearing the news from Liaodong, he hurriedly urged: “Show it to us!”

What is the imperial seal?

If he knew that the bastard Lao Si would be surrounded by Nahachu’s heavy troops on this trip, he would never let the bastard Lao Si take risks for the imperial seal.

The little eunuch hurried down, took the letter and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

A rolled-up thin and long paper.

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his nervousness and anxiety.

Under the eager and curious gaze of the ministers, he slowly unrolled the rolled-up paper.

There were very small and dense words on it.

Over the years, his eyesight has been getting worse and worse.

Looking at things too close, it is not clear.

Holding the small paper and stretching his arms, the dense and blurred small words on it gradually became clear.

The ministers stared at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression...

At first, his face was full of shock, surprise, and excitement, and his mouth corners were almost grinning to his ears. Gradually, his mouth corners began to shrink, his expression became extremely solemn, and his dragon eyes, which were always full of majesty and cold...

actually revealed worry and anxiety.

Both hands trembled slightly.

The hearts of the ministers also followed Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, ups and downs.

It was uncomfortable like a hundred claws scratching his heart.

After a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly put down his hands and put one hand on his knee under the imperial desk.

He clenched it tightly where the ministers couldn't see.

Tiande was still late.

The bastard Lao Si had to lead the crowd into the grassland under the encirclement of Nahachu.

And now, I'm afraid he is on the grassland, with hundreds of troops, enduring the joint attack of 200,000 cavalry groups!

Is he safe?

If he can't bear it, will this stubborn bastard lay down his weapons and surrender to the Yuan Dynasty?

He hoped that this bastard would not be stubborn at this time.

It's okay to surrender.

Save your life.

He can find a way to exchange with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and get him back.

Temporary honor and disgrace are nothing, Goujian was still sleeping on straw and tasting gall.

The palace was silent without a sound.

All the officials were anxious and felt that the atmosphere was wrong at this moment, but no one dared to be the first to do it.

Hu Weiyong quietly looked at Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang then stepped out of the line and carefully tested: "Your Majesty..."

Hu Weiyong has done very well during this period.

After his reminder, although he was promoted to the left prime minister, he did not show his tail, but worked diligently with his tail between his legs, and was still waiting for an opportunity to confront Emperor Zhu.

So it is not appropriate to speak at this time.

Other colleagues dare not.

So it can only be him.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Li Shanchang, and then looked around at the ministers.

Seeing the curious looks of the ministers, he hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Get the Liaodong map, Lan Yu..."

In the right military officer sequence, Lan Yu was slightly stunned, then stepped out, "I'm here!"

"After getting the Liaodong map, you tell everyone about it."

He didn't want to announce it.

But if he didn't say it, these people would definitely ask around and speculate randomly.

At that time, there might be very unpleasant rumors.

For example, the fourth brother has died in Liaodong.

Instead of that, it's better to tell them clearly.

The fourth brother rushed into the grassland and was attacked by a group of 200,000 cavalrymen, but he was a bastard who could beat them, rushed to Liaoyang, and turned back to set up an ambush.

Maybe... maybe, in the joint attack of 200,000 cavalrymen.

Once again, a classic battle example that amazed military history.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a look of astonishment, feeling flattered.

After coming back to his senses, he clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!" Soon, two young eunuchs returned with a roll of Liaodong map. Four young eunuchs in the hall spread out the map. Zhu Yuanzhang handed the letter to the young eunuch, who handed it to Lan Yu. The ministers fixed their eyes on Lan Yu. Lan Yu couldn't help but feel a little light. On the battlefield, he was the center of attention of the soldiers. But this was the first time he was noticed by his colleagues in the court. Was it because of Zhu Silang? Lan Yu's mouth was full of bitterness. After collecting his thoughts, he unfolded the note and glanced at it. His eyes widened instantly, and he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his chin slightly, a little proud, 'Huh! Shocked? If you don't restrain yourself, I will kick you away and make you all Yugong. I only need Lao Silang! ' Thinking of Zhu Di. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of Zhu Di's current situation. The slightly raised chin slowly dropped, and he silently clenched his fist.

The ministers were anxious, secretly greeting Lan Yu's family.

Ahem...

Zhu Biao coughed.

Only then did Lan Yu come back to her senses, glanced at her colleagues, and then walked to the map of Liaodong, pointing at Tongyuan Fort, "This news is about a battle that took place in Liaodong more than ten days ago."

"Tongyuan Fort!"

"Zhu Silang led the troops to capture Tongyuan Fort, but he was faced with Naha's command of three lines of cavalry. From west to east, they formed a dense network and slowly crushed them..."

Although the letter did not point out the specific marching routes of Naha's three armies.

But Lan Yu relied on his rich experience and accurately inferred based on the topography of Liaodong.

My finger crossed over the map.

"To the north, there are also three armies, namely the Liaoyang Road Army, the Benxi Road Army, and the Fushun Road Army. These three armies go down from north to south..."

"At this time, Zhu Silang has actually fallen into a desperate situation. His retreat to the southeast will eventually be blocked by the sea and the Yalu River. And toward the southeast, the area will become increasingly narrow, and there will be only a dead end in the end."

…

"General Lan, there is such a wide gap between the six armies. Zhu Xiucai can definitely walk through these places!"

Lan Yu glanced at the civil servant who asked this idiotic question.

Civil officials have always wanted to suppress their generals.

If we really let these civilian officials lead the army.

The court is in trouble!

The soldiers and sergeants in the army must also be in bad luck!

Today is an opportunity for these civil servants to have some self-awareness.

Of course, not all civil servants would ask such idiotic questions.

Just like civil servants like Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, this would not be the case.

"Master Wang, do you think marching is just a sightseeing tour? Did you know that a thousand people marching..."

…

"There are indeed some trails, but Naha is not stupid. These trails where cavalry can walk only require a small number of cavalry. Once traces of Zhu Silang are found on these trails, report them quickly to the Yuan army cavalry walking on the main road. , you can quickly pursue and outflank..."

"On the other hand, if Zhu Silang is walking on a trail and his horse cannot run fast, he will eventually be surrounded and killed..."

…

"General Lan, please tell us how Zhu Xiucai escaped from the siege in this impossible and desperate situation." Li Shanchang spoke at the right time.

Lan Yu then let go of Mr. Wang who raised the question.

call!

Take a deep breath.

Is it possible that the Lao Zhu family is really destined by God?

Lan Yu cursed and continued: "Zhu Silang not only jumped out of the siege, but also rushed to Liaoyang, Naha's home base..."

"What!"

"Attack on Liaoyang?"

"How can this be!"

Baiguan was shocked and immediately interrupted Lan Yu's words.

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang also looked shocked.

Li Shanchang stared at Tongyuan Fort and Liaoyang, frowning in thought, and couldn't help but shake his head, 'Impossible, absolutely impossible, he can't think of any way. ’

Lan Yu saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, and saw everyone frowning and shaking their heads, in disbelief.

Secretly smiled bitterly.

That's why he suspected that Lao Zhu's family was really ordered by heaven.

Otherwise, why would Zhu Silang be so good?

Anyway, even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew very well that he couldn't fight this kind of battle.

"In Tongyuan Fort, Zhu Silang gave up his war horses and turned into infantry. He took a small thousand men under his command and stayed out at night to avoid the tribes along the way. It took four days for the magic soldiers to descend from the sky and appear in Liaoyang. …”

Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, and some civil servants who knew something about the art of war and military affairs suddenly widened their eyes.

A group of military generals in court could not help but exclaim and discuss.

"Abandon your war horses in Mongolian territory! How dare Zhu Silang!"

"No, we wouldn't have thought of it anyway. Even if we thought of it, we wouldn't dare to do it!"

"Once discovered, even ordinary tribesmen with only two legs left in the Mongolian territory can chase them and fight them!"

…

When the generals were discussing, they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang quietly.

They all know how amazing such a battle is.

People who can fight this kind of war have great military command talents.

Zhu Silang was the emperor's fourth son.

His son is so outstanding, everyone seems to be less important.

Some civil servants were a little suspicious for a while, but Mr. Wang was humiliated by Lan Yu just now. At this time, they would rather pretend to understand than dare to question easily.

Lan Yu glanced at the civil servants with a mocking smile, "Many colleagues will definitely say, we just said that a thousand people cannot pass through the encirclement, why can Zhu Silang do it?"

"Naha has set out a large and tightly woven net to target the cavalry."

"But Zhu Silang gave up his war horses and turned into infantry. This net cannot catch the infantry..."

…

The civil servant who didn't know how to pretend to understand understood after listening to Lan Yu's story.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Zhu Silang Wen Neng passed the first-class scholar examination.

Is the military strategy so powerful?

Is Lao Zhu’s family really under orders from heaven?

Lan Yu saw the civil servant's shock in full view, and her mouth was full of bitterness. What is this? There is something even more shocking!

"After attacking Liaoyang, Zhu Silang robbed a group of war horses, and then made a surprising decision to return to Anping Mountain to set up an ambush..."

Lan Yu pointed to the map and narrated, basically presenting Zhu Di's ambush process based on limited information.

"Anping Mountain is actually very close to Liaoyang. The enemies in Liaodong never imagined that Zhu Silang would dare to ambush in Anping Mountain after his sneak attack on Liaoyang."

"At the same time, Zhu Silang also caught Naha Chu's psychological and emotional changes after learning that Liaoyang was attacked, and concluded that Na Ha Chu would definitely bring a small number of troops and rush back quickly..."

……

In hindsight, he could perfectly analyze the process of Zhu Silang's command of the battle.

However, if he had attacked Liaoyang at that time.

He would not have thought of setting an ambush.

It was not because he lacked courage.

It was because he did not have such meticulous thinking ability. In such a dangerous and tense situation, he could reasonably and appropriately analyze the enemy commander's psychology and emotions after hearing the news, and what kind of reaction he would make.

"What happened next?" Hu Weiyong could not help asking.

"Yes, what happened next?"

"Where is Zhu Silang now?"

……

Others asked one after another.

Is this Zhu Silang too good?

At this moment, after Lan Yu's comprehensive review, everyone understood how amazing it was to attack Liaoyang and set an ambush in Anping Mountain!

No matter what the purpose was.

Everyone was eager to know Zhu Di's current situation.

Lan Yu glanced at the subsequent content of the letter and felt mixed emotions.

He felt that it was good that Zhu Silang could not come back.

Too good!

But as a proud general, he wanted to compete with Zhu Silang in military affairs!

If Zhu Silang came back alive, there would definitely be such an opportunity.

Emperor Zhu would definitely use Zhu Silang's military talents in the future, although the two armies could not directly confront each other.

But they could compare who had greater achievements in the fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

"After setting up an ambush in Anping Mountain, Zhu Silang rushed to Benxi without stopping. That night, he pushed more than a dozen tribes and rushed into the grassland from between Liaoyang and Shenyang."

"The news finally mentioned that Toghon Temur, the King of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Nahachu joined forces to gather 200,000 cavalry groups and proposed a joint attack and suppression strategy to hunt Zhu Silang on the grassland."

Two hundred thousand!

Cavalry group!

Everyone was stunned.

Can Zhu Silang come back alive?

A big question was suspended in everyone's mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a heavy mood and stood up. "Let's leave the court. Biao'er, Li Shanchang, and Lan Yu will go to the imperial study with us."

The officials came back to their senses and hurriedly sent Zhu Yuanzhang off.

Zhu Biao and the other two hurriedly followed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, noisy discussions suddenly broke out in Fengtian Hall.

"This is too good!"

"Of course, he has won the auction of tax farms, local villages, and the examination for the scholar. Now he has fought such an amazing battle. He is good at both civil and military affairs!"

"Can he survive the joint attack of 200,000 people?"

"I think he can? After all, he can fight such amazing battles as the raid on Liaoyang and the ambush on Anping Mountain."

"Absolutely impossible! A group of 200,000 cavalrymen will attack together. Even if they become mosquitoes on cattle and sheep, the Mongols can find them!"

"We can't win, we can't win, unless we surrender and live!"

...

When the officials were arguing fiercely.

Zhu Yuanzhang had returned to the imperial study. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Bai Shi, Lan Yu, tell me, is there a chance to break out of the joint attack of 200,000 cavalry?"

Although he also won the Ming Dynasty with his sword and gun.

But at this moment, he was confused and couldn't make an accurate analysis.

At present, the people who understand military affairs the most around him are Li Shanchang and Lan Yu.

They are also bystanders.

Maybe they can give him a little optimistic judgment.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

He noticed the emperor's worry and concern.

'Zhu Silang, it's really possible, the emperor Zhu's favorite. '

After collecting his thoughts, Li Shanchang began to think seriously...

"Your Majesty, the possibility of breaking out is almost zero, unless you surrender, there may be a way to survive."

At a certain moment, Lan Yu spoke first, "At least, if it were me, I would have no way."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes trembled.

Zhu Biao clenched his fists and looked at Li Shanchang nervously...

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, Prince, I have come to the same conclusion as General Lan after thinking about it. Unless you surrender, there may be a way to survive!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have been drained of strength, and his shoulders slumped.

He lowered his head slowly.

After a moment, he raised his head, "Bai Shi..."

Li Shanchang and the other two raised their heads, and couldn't help but be surprised...

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were slightly red, "Bai Shi, you represent us to go to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. If Zhu Silang died in the battle, bring his body back to us. If not, the Northern Yuan Dynasty doesn't have much appetite, and trade...As long as it doesn't involve ceding land or paying compensation, you can agree to it on our behalf and bring Zhu Silang back safely!"

Li Shanchang's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Emperor Zhu said it obscurely.

But he understood.

Willing to spend a sum of money on the Northern Yuan grassland, the scarce salt and tea, to redeem Zhu Silang!

The Northern Yuan Dynasty only needed to give a symbolic copper coin.

This was equivalent to being prepared to lose face for Zhu Silang!

Since becoming the emperor, Emperor Zhu cared so much about his face!

Now for Zhu Silang, he actually...

Of course, he would probably be dismissed from office after his mission, and bear some public pressure for Emperor Zhu.

But taking the blame for the emperor was a good job!

He would be grateful to the emperor.

After the limelight, he would be reinstated.

"I understand, I will leave immediately!" Li Shanchang solemnly clasped his fists and secretly added, 'I hope to redeem a corpse, so that many people can put their hearts at ease. '

Zhu Silang's ability in civil and military affairs was too excellent.

Although it is okay to praise him to death.

But if Zhu Silang died in battle on the grassland, wouldn't it be a permanent solution?

Zhu Silang left a good name for all ages.

Amazing the entire history.

Many people can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Hello, I am good, everyone is good.

That day, Li Shanchang set off in a low-key manner.

Although he was very low-key, he was soon noticed by the court.

It was getting dark.

The news that Li Shanchang went to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to redeem the King of Yan or the body of the King of Yan began to spread wildly throughout Jinling City...
