Chapter 398: Divide the Troops! Zhu Di Made up His Mind!

"A great victory in the first battle of the Northern Expedition!"

"A great victory in the first battle of the Northern Expedition!"

"The imperial court defeated 30,000 troops in one battle and captured Zhangbei City!"

...

The messenger who rushed to report the victory eight hundred miles away rode his horse straight through Beiping City two days later.

The whole of Beiping was instantly boiling.

"The prince went north and won a great victory in the first battle! I was worried that the prince would be the commander for the first time..."

"This battle should be fought by the First Regiment of the Prince of Yan's army, right?"

"Yes, I remember that the Northern Yuan Khan Toghon Temur issued a declaration of war to the Prince of Yan."

"Why didn't you mention the Prince of Yan?"

"The First Regiment of the Army only has more than 13,000 people? In the siege, it actually captured Zhangbei City from the Northern Yuan army of 30,000 people? The title of the First Regiment of the Army, the strongest army in the world, is indeed not boastful!"

"What a pity, the Prince of Yan should have been the master of our Beiping, and this honor should have belonged to us all!"

"Humph! A bunch of fools, if the Prince of Yan was a vassal king in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he would have been imprisoned long ago for the unorthodox things he did!"

"Yes! Even if this battle was fought by the First Regiment of the Army, it was under the command of the prince!"

...

Two factions were formed in the lively discussions in the streets and alleys of Beiping.

One faction is the people.

One faction is the gentry and merchants.

Zhu Chong promoted the rural communities under his rule in Beiping, which violated the interests of many gentry and merchants.

This group of people did not particularly hate Zhu Chong.

Nor did they dare.

After all, Zhu Chong was the master of Beiping.

But the gentry and merchants in Beiping whose interests were damaged hated and resisted Zhu Di very much.

…

The soldiers of the 800-li urgent order were still galloping southward.

The news of the great victory of Zhangbei spread quickly along the way.

At the same time.

After the great victory of Zhangbei, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Beiping, after receiving the order to go out of the border, all went to the outside of the pass.

Throughout the north, on the official roads that extend in all directions.

All the arrogant soldiers and brave generals were marching with their heads held high, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.

The labor team drove a carriage after another behind.

The soldiers and civilians were whispering about the great victory of Zhangbei.

"The First Army of the Prince of Yan is so powerful. I heard that this attack on Zhangbei is the first large-scale actual combat of the First Army."

"I heard from the generals above that the First Army performed so well because the prince commanded well."

"The Prince of Yan is also very capable in leading troops. Was this battle really commanded by the prince?"

"It should be. The generals above said so, so it must be correct."

"I didn't expect that our prince's ability to lead troops is even better than that of the Prince of Yan. Over the years, I have only heard the Prince of Yan develop rural villages and hired workers' shareholding system, and rarely heard the prince do anything brilliant..."

"The prince is called silent, but amazing."

...

Li Jinglong and Chang Mao rode on the side of the official road, accompanying the army slowly.

The soldiers' discussions swarmed into his ears, and Li Jinglong's eyes flashed with worry. He turned his head and said, "Duke Zheng, will we get into trouble if we do this?"

He only understood now.

When the prince ordered people to come back to assist the army to go north.

Why did Chang Mao pull him and actively ask for orders?

It turned out to be for this matter!

The messenger who announced the victory to the world was originally the prince's personal soldier.

The brother of the Eastern Palace Guard.

When these soldiers left, the generals of the Eastern Palace Guard must have explained it.

Otherwise, the content of the victory report conveyed along the way would not be so vague.

It only said "a great victory in the first battle" and "defeated 30,000 troops and captured Zhangbei", without mentioning the King of Yan and the First Army Town.

The common people are fine.

They knew in advance that Toghon Temur challenged Zhu Laosi's First Army Town.

Even the court could not control what the people talked about.

The people had already started to talk about the First Army Town and how strong it was.

The army was different from the people.

The army was more closed.

Although the soldiers also knew that this battle was fought by the First Army Town.

But Chang Mao hinted to the officers of each army to unify the caliber, vowed, and repeatedly publicized it to the soldiers.

Although the battle was fought by the First Army Regiment.

But the prince was in command.

The prince played a big role in it!

Facts have proved that Chang Mao's trick worked.

The closed nature of the army, plus the prestige and majesty of the generals in the hearts of the soldiers.

When the generals stood up, vowed, and repeatedly preached.

The soldiers really believed that the First Army Regiment, a group of new recruits with no actual combat experience, could win this battle.

The wise command of the prince played a greater role.

The effect was very good.

But after arriving in Zhangbei City.

What would Zhu Laosi's reaction be?

A few days ago, the scenes of the First Army Regiment attacking Zhangbei were vivid.

If this group of cold-blooded killers made a fuss, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Secondly, what about the prince?

Would the prince be unhappy?

If he knew that Chang Mao did this, he would never come back with him.

Although he didn't like Zhu Silang either.

But there was no grudge between them, and he didn't want to offend Zhu Silang.

Chang Mao glanced at Li Jinglong with a smile on his lips.

This time, he was going to drag Li Jinglong into the water!

"What are you afraid of!"

Chang Mao looked at Li Jinglong with a smile, and said confidently: "Even if Zhu Lao Si knew, I guess he wouldn't be upset. This northern expedition was originally to establish absolute prestige for the prince. Since he has returned to the court, he should be very clear about this purpose."

"Why do you think he agreed to fight Toghon Temur?"

"He just wanted to set an example for everyone, and everyone should be united. Since he wants to unite and work together, he should endure this grievance, right?"

...

Li Jinglong stared at Chang Mao's face with wide eyes.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Zhu Laosi accepted the letter of challenge and led the first army town to fight a difficult siege.

He is setting an example.

But you can't ask for trouble just because you see that he wants to unite people's hearts?

If this continues.

In the future, the court will really encounter difficulties that it can't overcome.

Will Zhu Laosi still come back to help without considering his own interests?

Although he disliked Zhu Laosi from the bottom of his heart, he also felt that he couldn't be like this.

If he did this, his path would become narrower and narrower!

Chang Mao didn't think anything was wrong and continued to talk to himself, "As for the prince, it's nothing more than scolding me in front of everyone!"

The prince is the superior.

Does he want to see that the Ming army and civilians under his rule in the future respect Zhu Laosi from top to bottom?

The answer is definitely no!

These things are not convenient for the prince's brother-in-law to do.

In order to show the world that brothers are close, he can't do it.

But he can!

After arriving in Zhangbei.

The most likely thing for the brother-in-law is to scold him in front of Zhu Laosi to show his attitude.

What else can he do?

Li Jinglong looked at Chang Mao and didn't know what to say for a while.

This time, Chang Mao considered the reactions of the prince and Zhu Laosi in great detail.

The calculation is also very shrewd.

This conspiracy can be regarded as extremely beneficial to the prince.

Benefiting the prince is actually benefiting the Chang family.

Benefiting the entire prince system.

But it feels awkward no matter how you think about it.

Chang Mao considered short- and medium-term interests more.

What about the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty?

If this were to completely chill Zhu Laosi's heart, what would be the impact on the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty?

He couldn't judge.

Is this move more beneficial than harmful, or more harmful than beneficial?

...

Four days later.

When the victory report was still rushing to Jinling.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians, along with hundreds of thousands of northern troops, arrived at Zhangbei City.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, with their generals, welcomed the soldiers who were gathering northward on the top of Zhangbei City.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, lined up outside the city.

"The first battle was a great victory, the prince is mighty!"

"The prince is mighty!"

"Long live the prince!"

...

At some point, a soldier in the array shouted softly, and in less than half an incense stick of time, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people condensed into a wave of sound, rushing into the sky.

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

Then, he waved to the direction of the array under the city.

The cheers suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Li Jinglong's eyes widened, and he turned his head in surprise.

Are the lower-level soldiers too easy to fool?

They actually believe that this battle is the result of the prince's wise and powerful command?

He looked at Chang Mao.

Chang Mao smiled smugly, "Don't look at me like that, this is not arranged by me, it's all spontaneous from the heart of the soldiers!"

Li Jinglong forced a smile.

Worry flashed in his eyes.

He looked up and looked for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was standing next to Zhu Biao, talking to Zhu Chong and other princes.

They were talking and laughing.

He didn't seem to be angry about it.

Was he considering the overall situation?

Was he cunning?

Or did he not care at all?

He couldn't judge.

...

At the edge of the crowd.

Tang He stood with Xu Da, and when he saw Xu Da's eyes withdraw from Zhu Di, his face darkened.

Alas!

He sighed silently and forced a smile, "It must be the people below who made the decision without authorization."

Hmph!

Xu Da snorted slightly, and glanced at Tang He from the corner of his eye, "Second brother, this will chill people's hearts. Look at the generals of the first army town headed by Tan Yuan!"

Tang He looked at them from the corner of his eye.

Generals from Qiu Fuwei, such as Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu, stood together with Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others.

Although he did not show any anger.

But his face was solemn, and there was no trace of smile.

Xu Da continued to whisper, "Silang may not mind, but he is the lord of Dongfan and the supreme commander of the first army town. While he is considering the court now, he must also consider his brothers and the people under his command. Second brother, do you think that if the court really encounters difficulties in the future, can Silang still come back to help without caring about personal interests?"

Even if Silang is stupidly willing.

He must also consider whether the brothers below are willing!

This is like a man starting a family and starting a career.

He can't just consider the feelings of his parents like before he started a family.

He also has to consider the feelings of his wife and children.

These people of the prince's faction have put Silang in a very embarrassing position for the sake of short-term and medium-term interests.

Tang He sighed silently.

In fact, when he comforted the third brother just now.

He already understood.

This northern expedition may be the last time for the fourth brother to contribute to the court!

A welcome party, the upper echelons of the army, everyone was smiling on the surface.

But they were thinking differently in their hearts.

Hundreds of thousands of troops drove towards the already built camp in an orderly manner.

Zhu Biao led all the generals above the commander-in-chief and returned to the temporary marshal's mansion in the city.

The generals sat down, hundreds of people, gathered together.

Zhu Biao looked around at the generals and said: "Zhangbei has been conquered. This time, I summoned you to discuss the military, just to discuss how to fight next."

The generals looked at each other, whispered to each other, and discussed in low voices.

Zhu Biao waited patiently.

It was his first time to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Before leaving, his father said that he should listen to the opinions of generals at all levels.

Moreover, although the second uncle and the third uncle did not directly command the troops.

But he was sent by his father to serve as a military advisor.

Zhu Di sat in the first place on the left, higher than Xu Da and Tang He. He looked at everyone and stood up immediately.

The action shocked everyone.

Back and forth, hundreds of pairs of eyes were projected on Zhu Di.

Zhu Di cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother, I have some ideas. How about I offer some advice?"

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile.

The fourth child is humble.

Let’s talk about the concept of war.

All the generals present.

I'm afraid only the second uncle and the third uncle, who have very rich practical experience, can compare with the fourth uncle.

Zhu Di received the approval, turned around, and walked straight to the full picture of the grassland hanging on the left.

The sound of tables and chairs moving was heard.

Zhu Biao led the crowd and followed him, forming a circle and looking at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di held the baton and clicked on the picture, "Helin was the ruling center of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After Tuogusi Timur succeeded to the throne, he moved the ruling center to his traditional territory of Yuerhai."

"Although the ruling center has moved, we cannot ignore that Helin has always had a very important position since the Mongols began to rise. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was the center of the Mongolian grassland territory...

…

Therefore, in this battle, in addition to destroying the royal court in Beiyuan Yuerhai, we also need to conquer Helin. "

…

Zhu Di is still talking.

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong stood behind the generals, looking at each other, and their eyes communicated excitedly: Zhu Silang is giving you a pillow because he is sleepy!

Zhu Silang proposed that Helin and Yuerhai should be attacked at the same time in this battle.

With two goals, we must divide our forces.

The attack on Yuerhai and the destruction of the Beiyuan Royal Court must be the main force, and must be commanded by the prince.

What about attacking with Lin all the way?

It seems that Zhu Silang wants to lead the army himself.

OK!

Isn't this exactly what they want to see?

Zhu Silang will be attacked by Togu Si Timur's heaviest troops!

…

Zhu Di put down his baton and looked at Zhu Biao, "Brother, if we want to achieve this goal, we have to divide our forces. I want to lead an army alone to attack Helin and contain some of the troops for the main army. I hope that eldest brother will approve my suggestion. "

Zhu Biao remained silent.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other and then looked at Zhu Di.

They all knew Zhu Laosi's intention to attract Bei Yuan's heavy troops.

But I agree to Zhu Laosi’s suggestion.

This is equivalent to putting Zhu Laosi in a very difficult and dangerous environment.

According to Tuo Gusi, Timur's hatred for Zhu Laosi.

The attack on Helin is partial, I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight!

Doing this is too unfair to Zhu Laosi.

But put aside the feelings of guilt.

From the perspective of a general.

This proposal is indeed the most advantageous plan for this battle and the most likely to achieve an unprecedented victory.

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Biao, stood up, and said, "Let's not think about anything else. We just need to consider whether this offensive plan is the most beneficial to the battle situation. I support this plan."

Shiro had already discussed it with him.

And hope to get his support.

Tang He glanced at Zhu Di, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.

The fourth child made such sacrifices for Daming regardless of personal interests.

After this war, I'm afraid it will never happen again!

This is Daming’s loss!

Tang He regretfully closed his eyes, opened them again, and supported: "I agree too!"

"The general will support you!"

"The general will support you!"

…

After Xu Da and Tang He expressed their opinions, the generals who had concerns and did not want to express their opinions hastily expressed their opinions one after another.

Brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu looked at each other, glanced at Zhu Biao, and expressed their support.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Biao.

‘As a general, you must be decisive! ’

Zhu Biao felt the solicitous looks of everyone and thought of this sentence mentioned repeatedly in Sun Tzu's Art of War annotated by Zhu Di.

Concentrate your thoughts.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at Zhu Di and nodded, "Okay, big brother approves your plan. You can choose whatever troops you want!"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Di secretly.

If the fourth ghost forgets his brothers this time.

Just wait for the brothers to have a good argument with him!

Zhu Di noticed the look between the two of them, smiled secretly, and then said: "Brother, in addition to my first army town, I also want the second brother and the third brother..."

Zhu Di ordered all the brothers' vassal guards in succession.

The soldiers of the feudal king's guard are all elite.

But the brothers have never had the experience of leading troops in such a large-scale actual combat.

His father asked him to take care of his brothers.

It's one reason.

In addition, Big Brother’s main force needs real elites.

Finally, the brothers must have no resistance or hostility towards him, and his orders can be implemented throughout the army.

…

When Zhu Di was talking, Yao Guangxiao gave Zhu 㭎 and Zhu Xi a vague look.

He hoped that Zhu 㭎 and Zhu Chen would refuse.

This time, the prince will most likely be attacked by Bei Yuan's heavy troops.

The king of Qin and the king of Jin followed the prince.

It doesn't matter even if all the feudal king's guards are wiped out.

He could exchange a feudal king's guard for the merit of protecting the prince to the death.

The prince died in battle.

This performance can win the favor of the prince family and lay the foundation for winning over the prince family.

It's also good that the prince is fine.

Can win the prince's unlimited trust and favor.

It will be beneficial to the two princes and expand their power!

It's just sacrificing one guard.

These soldiers died for the future of the two princes!

"In addition, how about giving me the Liaohe Guard? I have worked with the Liaohe Guard for a while, and it's easier for me to command them."

After speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di.

Calculating Zhu Di's military strength.

The total strength of the princes' guards of the emperor's brothers is about 120,000, plus the Liaohe Guard and the first army town.

The fourth commander's detachment barely has 150,000 troops.

"Old Four, isn't the force too weak?"

Lan Yu nodded and said, "Prince of Yan, 150,000 troops are a bit too weak. According to Toghon Temur's hatred for you, it can be predicted that the Yuan army that your detachment will face will not be too few."

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "The detachment attracts the Yuan army, which means using the least troops to attract the most enemy troops. Otherwise, the purpose of creating opportunities for the main force cannot be achieved. Moreover, too strong troops are not conducive to our rapid maneuvering."

"In fact, in my plan, 150,000 troops are too many."

"Prince of Yan."

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, a voice sounded from behind, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said, "What the Prince of Yan said is indeed very reasonable, and I think it is better to let the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin follow the prince."

He didn't want to stand up.

However, the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin ignored his hints.

Everyone looked at Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di also looked at Yao Guangxiao, wondering what Yao Guangxiao was up to.

Worried that his second brother would be in danger if he followed him?

Or, did he not want his second brother to be under his command to attack Helin?

After all, he knew that Yao Guangxiao had instigated his second brother to fight for the throne.

The merit and glory of destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty court in Buyuerhai was definitely not comparable to that of a small army.

He was not even sure whether he could conquer Helin.

As for the third brother, he was also pulled in by Yao Guangxiao.

It should be to cover up the purpose of letting the second brother follow the eldest brother to attack Buyuerhai.

The two elder brothers were not suitable to follow him, which was to imply to all the generals: it was not suitable for him, as a younger brother, to command the elder brothers! In the war, conflicts and discords arose, and the second and third brothers used their elder brother status to suppress others, which might cause poor command.

This problem did not exist around the eldest brother.

The eldest brother was not only the commander-in-chief.

He was also the eldest brother.

Both identities could suppress the second and third brothers.

This dead monk really had eight hundred minds!

He was made to run away.

It was a big mistake!

Lan Yu didn't know that Zhu Chong wanted to compete for the throne.

He really thought that Yao Guangxiao was worried that conflicts would arise between the brothers, which would cause problems in the command of the detachment.

In his opinion.

Zhu Di led a detachment alone to attract the troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

He also took away the princes whose command ability had not been tested in actual combat.

He could not add more difficulties to the detachment commanded by Zhu Di.

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "It is indeed inappropriate for the King of Qin and the King of Jin to follow the King of Yan's detachment. Your Majesty should choose two other guards."

Mu Ying nodded.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di, "Fourth brother, let the second and third brothers follow me. The brothers are going to the north, and you can't take all the brothers away. I, as the eldest brother..."

Zhu Biao didn't continue.

After being reminded by Yao Guangxiao.

He also felt that it was inappropriate for the second and third brothers to follow the fourth brother.

Especially the second brother.

His temper was distorted.

The fourth brother might not be able to suppress him.

Zhu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "Master Daoyan, we still have a fist-fight agreement to fulfill. After this battle, find an opportunity."

Yao Guangxiao put his hands together and bowed with a smile.

His scalp was tingling secretly.

He knew that the King of Yan had doubted his behavior.

He wanted to kill him again.

It was just that the war was imminent, and this king was very rational.

Zhu Di retracted his gaze and smiled at Zhu Biao: "Brother, I just said that there are too many troops. Let the second and third brothers follow you. It is enough for me to keep 120,000 or 130,000 troops here."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "This amount of troops is enough? Choose a few more guards from them. You are good at commanding the new army. I will assign two of the three new towns in the Beijing camp to you..."

"Brother, it's really enough." Zhu Di interrupted Zhu Biao.

He knew very well that he might not be able to command the new army in the Beijing camp.

Generals of the court.

Even if they don't oppose him.

Even if they respect him in their hearts.

For their own political interests, no one wanted to get close to him.

Except for the two fools Qiu Laoer and Zhu Laosan.

Others didn't want to have a reputation of being on good terms with Zhu Silang!

It's nothing now.

What consequences will this good relationship have in the future.

No one can predict.

Under Zhu Di's insistence.

This matter was decided.

When Zhu Biao dismissed the generals, he stopped Zhu Di and Chang Mao.

...

In the courtyard in front of the Marshal's Mansion.

Zhu Chong had a dark face and walked out of the mansion, saying coldly: "Who asked you to make the decision for me!"

If there weren't so many people at that time, he would have taught Yao Guangxiao a lesson.

The eldest brother was not kind.

The fourth brother proposed to lead a small army alone, but the eldest brother remained silent and didn't try to stop him!

Yao Guangxiao wanted him to take the credit for attacking the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

He actually made the decision for him and abandoned the fourth brother!

"Your Majesty, King Yan is so capable. Since he dares to do this, he must have a plan to avert danger. The poor monk is not worried at all that King Yan will be in danger."

Zhu Silang doesn’t care for his army’s No. 1 soldiers?

This is his private soldier!

If he runs out of fights, the court will not replenish him!

What's more, he also brought the princes with him.

Zhu Silang doesn't care about his brother's life or death?

…

Zhu Xiang's anger gradually weakened as he listened to Yao Guangxiao's analysis, and he glared coldly, "I think you are doing a small thing at the expense of a big thing. Learning the fighting skills from the fourth child, or taking the credit for conquering the Beiyuan Royal Court, which is more important!"

Snapped!

After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left quickly.

Yao Guangxiao was slightly stunned.

He just wanted to let the King of Qin and the King of Jin stay with the prince, and when the prince encountered danger, he would show his loyalty and win the favor of the emperor and all the officials in the court.

I really overlooked that by following King Yan, King Qin could learn how to lead troops in war.

At a certain moment, Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

He can also lead troops to fight, deploy troops and plan strategies!

King Qin doesn’t have to follow King Yan!

…

Chamber.

Zhu Di came out of it.

Lan Yu, who had been waiting outside, saw Zhu Di and hurriedly greeted him, "King Yan, Chang Mao's behavior in the army of deliberately undermining the army's first town, I can be sure that it has nothing to do with the prince."

When he was in the city, he wanted to talk to Zhu Laosi about this matter.

But the timing wasn't right.

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "I know..."

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment...

"Yongchang Marquis..." He decided to be honest with Lan Yu, "This is the last time I will lead the troops and return to the court regardless of personal gain or loss. After this battle is over, no matter what my father's attitude is, I will not return to the court often. …”

Lan Yu listened, her heart sinking to the bottom.

He spoke eagerly, "King Yan..."

Zhu Di raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "I am not resentful because of what happened..."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Lan Yu followed silently.

"The Marquis of Yongchang is now an extremely rational and smart man. He should have seen the purpose of leading the army to attack the city in the first battle."

Lan Yu nodded silently.

Zhu Laosi just wants to set an example and unite people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, it had no effect at all.

On the contrary, Chang Mao was appointed as the leader. Some people under the prince's command felt that Zhu Laosi was easy to bully and could slap him in the face.

"I thought that as long as I showed that I didn't threaten my eldest brother's status, and that I didn't want to gain anything from Ming Dynasty, and that it was not my benefit, everyone could put aside their prejudices against me. Facts have proved that prejudices are such a thing..."

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile.

"This incident can help us see the future clearly. In the future, if I continue to return to the court frequently and appear next to my father, many people will make more small moves, which will only make the relationship between me and my eldest brother worse."

"Moreover, I am now responsible for my brothers. This is why I said that after this battle, I will no longer ignore personal interests."

Lan Yu only felt panicked.

He can completely understand Zhu Laosi.

Regardless of personal interests, some people in the court are trying to make things worse.

If Zhu Laosi continues like this.

It will only make these people more emboldened.

In addition, Zhu Laosi also needs to be responsible for his brothers.

Zhu Laosi can suffer these grievances because of his filial piety to His Majesty.

But Zhu Laosi could not let his soldiers suffer injustice.

Zhu Di paused, turned around, and looked at Lan Yu with a smile, "Yongchang Hou, in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh years of Hongwu, I never thought that we could have such a heart-to-heart conversation. At that time, Yongchang Hou was like a A sword that is always unsheathed.”

"To be honest with Marquis Yongchang, I even told Miaoyun that people like you who don't know how to raise the front will die sooner or later without a burial place. I didn't expect that you would change so much later."

Lan Yu blushed slightly, smiled sarcastically, and said calmly: "Speaking of which, you, Mr. Zhu, are half my husband."

His transformation was all because of Zhu Laosi.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhu Di continued to walk forward and said as he walked: "I have a heart-to-heart talk with Marquis Yongchang today because I want to tell Marquis Yongchang that I never want to turn against my eldest brother or the Ming Dynasty, and I never want to fight with swords, but if I want to maintain harmony between us, we need to Many people work together, I have to work hard, and people from Ming Dynasty also need to work hard, meet each other, and work together to achieve something. "

"I think Marquis Yongchang can shoulder this heavy responsibility."

After saying this, Zhu Di raised his hand and stopped Lan Yu from following without looking back.

Stride away.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Di's tall back.

'There are so many things about this king...'

To be honest, it is already beyond the emperor.

If he hadn't been the prince's wife's uncle.

He will choose to follow Zhu Laosi.

Although Zhu Laosi made it clear that after this battle, he would never help the prince or the Ming Dynasty again regardless of personal interests.

But he was not dissatisfied at all.

…

Lan Yu bowed solemnly to Zhu Di's back.

The sound of "rustling" footsteps came.

"how?"

Lan Yu straightened up, looked at Mu Ying, and smiled bitterly: "Zhu Laosi did not feel any resentment over this matter. He still wanted to maintain the harmony of love and affection with the Crown Prince and the Ming Dynasty, but he also made it clear that he would help the Crown Prince and the Ming Dynasty regardless of personal gain or loss. Help Daming, this is the last time, and you have high hopes for me, I hope I can..."

call!

After Muying heard the entire conversation.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

He patted Lan Yu on the shoulder, "It's not the worst result. The fourth brother said that you can shoulder the responsibility of maintaining a harmonious relationship with him within the Ming Dynasty. This is true. From now on, only you can take the lead in this matter."

"I, Huizu, Geng Bingwen, Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, we are the forces that hope to have a good relationship with the fourth brother. Only by uniting together can we suppress the forces that are hostile to the fourth brother and want to provoke the prince and the fourth brother to become enemies!"

Lan Yu smiled and nodded, "Zhu Laosi is a man who can do great things. This man's temperament, to say something disrespectful, has surpassed the emperor. In my heart, the premonition that the Ming Dynasty is gradually being left behind by Zhu Laosi is getting stronger and stronger now."

Mu Ying looked at the direction where Zhu Di left and nodded.

Those who are hostile to the fourth brother.

Many people just don't understand this.

But as long as you deal with the fourth brother more closely, the premonition like Lan Yu will become stronger.

Mu Ying came back to his senses and said with a smile: "In the future, I'm afraid that many people will call us traitors and traitors who are loyal to the fourth brother. You, the biggest traitor leader, must be prepared to be attacked."

Haha...

Lan Yu laughed heartily.

"Uncle, what's the good news?"

The sudden voice ignited the flames in Lan Yu's heart.

Looking in the direction of the voice...

Chang Mao came with a smile on his face.

Just as he judged, his brother-in-law would at best scold him severely.

Snap!

As soon as Chang Mao approached, he was slapped.

Chang Mao was stunned instantly, covered his face, raised his head, and stared at Lan Yu angrily.

"Do you know what stupid thing you did! Your sister is the crown princess, and your nephew is the crown prince! The crown prince is the student of King Yan! The relationship between them is uncle and nephew, master and apprentice, and even better than father and son!"

Lan Yu was almost furious.

He was 100% sure.

Xiong Ying knew about this.

He must hate his uncle Chang Mao!

In Xiong Ying's heart, his uncle Chang Mao probably doesn't even have the same weight as Zhu Lao Si!

Chang Mao covered his face and said stubbornly: "I am doing this for the prince! This battle is for the prince to establish his prestige. Since Zhu Silang has returned to the court to help, he should be prepared to pay! Facts have also proved that Zhu Lao Si endured..."

"Shut up!"

Lan Yu scolded angrily.

If it weren't for Chang Mao and other generals' resistance and rejection of Zhu Lao Si.

Zhu Lao Si would never have decided to distance himself from the Ming Dynasty so quickly!

Now, His Majesty is still alive!

Originally, the previous relationship could still be maintained.

At least it would not change before His Majesty's death.

It was because Zhu Lao Si tried hard but could not change the resistance and hostility of Chang Mao and others.

Zhu Lao Si saw clearly that this prejudice could not be changed, or even eased, so he resolutely and determined to distance himself from the Ming Dynasty.

Never distance again.

Getting too close.

It is inevitable that the relationship between them will get worse because of Chang Mao and his group!

"Do you think that doing this will benefit the prince? Have you considered the future? When the court encounters difficulties in the future and needs to seek the help of King Yan, will King Yan still help you with your bastard performance?"

Chang Mao was not convinced and muttered in a low voice, "If we win this battle, the Northern Yuan will perish, the grassland people will survive, and the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources, and countless manpower and material resources. Do we still need Zhu Silang's help?"

Zhu Silang, this poor relative, should not be so shameless and ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. It would be good enough if His Majesty funded him!

Lan Yu gritted his teeth in anger.

He looked at Mu Ying.

Now, they finally understand the mentality of people like Chang Mao.

They always believe that the Ming Dynasty is vast and abundant.

Zhu Laosi is not needed at all.

Even this group of bastards are confident that they can easily crush and eliminate Zhu Laosi with the help of the Ming Dynasty's strong foundation.

This is a very dangerous idea!

"Do you think that your little cleverness can suppress Zhu Laosi's reputation? Can you suppress a person like Zhu Laosi?"

Lan Yu glared fiercely.

I don't want to say anything more.

Zhu Laosi is a person.

He has seen it clearly.

It is impossible to suppress him.

Just wait and see!

Will Zhu Laosi not win a brilliant victory next?

Can he suppress him once.

Can he suppress him every time?

...

At this time.

Zhu Di has left the city and returned to the camp of the First Army.

General's tent.

Zhu Di smiled at Tan Yuan and others, "This time, the brothers have been wronged. My brothers and I promise here that only this time, after this battle, I will take the brothers back to Dongfan, and after we conquer Luzon, we will establish our own country!"

Tan Yuan and others, hearing this, all laughed excitedly and looked at each other.

In fact, they mainly felt sorry for the prince.

As for themselves.

I used to be a small person.

I am used to being wronged.

Even Sun Yuanchu was a second-generation descendant who was looked down upon by his family and suffered grievances everywhere.

Tan Yuan stood up.

Crash!

Everyone stood up in unison.

"Yes! Your Highness!"

A loud and sonorous voice rushed out of the tent.

Zhu Chong, Zhu Yu and Zhu Gui and other brothers heard that Zhu Di had returned and hurried over. They happened to hear the loud voice coming from the tent.

They looked at each other in surprise.

...

It was almost noon.

The palace.

Jiang 𤩽 held a letter and hurried to the imperial study.

After the six officials noticed it, they all looked sideways and thought of the battle of Zhangbei at the first time. They were eagerly waiting for the news while discussing.

All the way to the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"Enter!"

Can't wait to hear the sound.

Jiang 𤩽ti stepped inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one in the imperial study.

Jiang 𤩽 secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Taisun, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Yuying were all taken to the East Palace by the Crown Princess to stay for a while.

Otherwise, there are some things in this good news that he would not be able to report directly.

"Give us the news!"

Without waiting for Jiang to salute, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to urge him.

After receiving the letter.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, but his face gradually darkened.

He waved his hand and dismissed the palace maid. When the door of the palace was closed and only two people were left, he asked in a cold voice: "It was mentioned in the letter that the first town of the Army was ignored in the 800-mile emergency report. What does it mean?"

Didn't the emperor guess it?

Jiang𤩽 ventriloquism.

In fact, he wanted to suppress the matter.

Zhu Silang was suppressed.

He likes to hear this kind of thing.

But this matter is too big.

He didn't dare.

"Your Majesty, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, this battle is completely commanded by King Yan..."

…

"It should be that some people around the prince want to help build the prince's prestige, so they did this. Your Majesty, the troops reporting the victory have not yet arrived in Jinling. How should the imperial court promote it in Jinling?"

His message was delivered by the Jinyiwei system, with flying pigeons and war horses.

It is faster than the soldiers who report victory.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang grimaced and snorted, "Announce to the outside world that King Zhu Di of Yan commanded the Army's First Town to conquer Zhangbei. At the same time, he sent Jin Yiwei to intercept the soldiers who reported victory, and asked them to report victory honestly after entering Zhili. Don't play tricks. !”

"I obey the decree!"

After receiving the order, Jiang 𤩽 hurriedly left to make arrangements.

This matter must be done quickly.

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly threw the letter and newspaper on the table, stood up irritably, and walked to the window.

The hands were slightly curled and clenched.

There's a bunch of bastards down there.

How could the fourth child still stay in Ming Dynasty!

I'm afraid, the fourth child has completely made up his mind, right?

…

"Great victory!"

"The First Town of Your Majesty's Army captured Zhangbeicheng with minimal casualties!"

…

The news spread in the palace.

Put on your wings and fly quickly to the East Palace and fly outside the palace.

The officials were silent.

But he didn't dare to do anything.

Someone had tried to trick someone before, but Liu Bowen, the left prime minister, quickly followed the order and had several colleagues who advised how to treat the grassland after the war stripped of their official uniforms and kicked out of the six departments.

A lesson from the past!

…

East Palace.

Mrs. Chang was having lunch with her three children.

After hearing the news, Xiao Qihua put down her chopsticks in excitement, jumped off the stool, and ran outside: "My father won the fight! My father won the fight..."

"Qihua!"

Yong Ming wanted to stop him, but Chang held his hand down with a smile.

Mrs. Chang stretched out her hand to rub Yong Ming's little head and said with a smile: "Xiong Ying, you and Yong Ming go and take our family Qihua to tell your fourth aunt the good news."

"My child, you obey!" Zhu Xiongying accepted the order with a smile, pulled Yong Ming and ran out.

…

The prince's concubine's bedroom.

Mother Lu, Zhu Yunwen and their son were also having lunch.

"Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that my grandson took Zhu Yongming and Zhu Qihua out of the East Palace to report Xu Miaoyun's victory..."

It took a long time for the maid to finish her report.

Lu didn't even respond.

"mother……"

It wasn't until Zhu Yunwen spoke that Mrs. Lu came back to her senses and looked.

Zhu Yunwen asked: "Many people said that my fourth uncle would definitely lose. So many people are not optimistic about it. How can my fourth uncle still win? Is my fourth uncle so good? Is he better than my father?"

"Your fourth uncle is indeed very powerful, but not as good as your father. Just wait, news of your father's victory will come soon, and it will be an even bigger victory!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and touched Zhu Yunwen's little head.

Zhu Yunwen nodded seriously.

When the time comes, he must show off in front of Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongming!

On this day, the whole Jinling was boiling!

The name of the first army town and the strongest army in the world is talked about endlessly by the people of Jinling.
