Zhu Di waited in Daning for more than half a month, and finally waited for the arrival of Tuluhuchaer.
Outside Daning City, in a hidden valley.
"Tuluhuqar pays homage to His Highness King Yan."
Tolukhuchal was still nominally the commander of the Duoyan Guards, and he still had to bow to the prince Zhu Di when he saw him.
But it doesn't matter if I just obey Zhu Di's orders. But the benefits must be indispensable, otherwise Trulhuchar would never agree.
"Hahaha, Duoyan is so polite when commanding you." Zhu Di quickly got off his horse and helped Trukhuchar up with his own hands: "We have fought side by side many times, and we should treat each other as if we are in peace."
Although Trukhuchar has a bad temper and is sometimes a little impulsive, it does not mean that he is a fool. Zhu Di answered every question, didn't he just want him to work in vain and get no benefits?
The Duoyan Sanwei had already been deceived by Han Du once, how could they be deceived by Zhu Di again?
Truhuchar smiled and waved his hand gently, asking the soldiers around him to retreat and guard in the distance.
When Zhu Di saw it, he nodded slightly and waved the people following him behind him.
At the moment, there were only two people standing there, and the two horses, and everyone else moved away wisely.
"Your Majesty, we can't let Turuhuchal's efforts go in vain, right? It doesn't matter if it's just Turuhuchal himself. If you help, you'll be helping. But the matter of sending troops cannot be done by Turuhuchal alone. We still need the clansmen to work together. Come to think of it, the prince will not disappoint the clansmen of Duoyanwei, right?"
Hearing the benefits of Tolu Huchaer's outspoken words, Zhu Di felt at ease.
He is not afraid that Trukhuchar will want the benefits, but he is afraid that he will not want them! Even if he opens his mouth wide open, Zhu Di can accept it. Anyway, there is nothing he can't bear to part with except himself.
"Tell me, under what conditions will you be willing to send troops?"
A light flashed in Trulhuchar's eyes. He didn't expect Zhu Di to be so eager. He didn't even have the intention to bargain with him, just waiting for him to speak.
In this case, Truhuchar suddenly changed his original plan and said directly: "We want the entire Liaohe River beyond the Great Wall."
"Do you want land or people?" Even though Zhu Di had been prepared for the other party to bite him hard, he never thought that the other party would bite him so hard!
In the land of Liaohe River, after more than ten years of management by the Ming Dynasty, people migrated from the pass to settle down many times. Now it has developed into a place with more than one million people and prosperous agriculture and business.
Even the Ming Dynasty court was afraid of the land of Liaohe River and strictly ordered that only soybeans could be grown here, and absolutely no food could be grown.
Everyone knows that since soybeans can be grown, food can definitely be grown. The fertile land in the Liaohe River area is rare in the world. Once the cultivation of food is allowed, it will definitely become the second granary of the Ming Dynasty, and even the largest one.
If such a place is occupied by Duoyan Guard, it will only take a few years for Duoyan Guard's strength to increase several times.
Because on the grassland, as long as there is food, it will attract the wandering Mongolian people to seek refuge.
If Tuluhuchar only wanted land, Zhu Di would have no reluctance to part with it. But if he also wants people, then Truhuchar's ambition will be obvious.
Truhuchar's face wrinkled, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth:
"Of course they all do."
"What? Your Highness, Prince Yan, can't bear to part with you?"
Zhu Di's face was gloomy and his eyes were fixed on Truhuchar. The more Truhuchar saw Zhu Di acting like this, the less anxious he became. Anyway, it was Zhu Di who begged him now, so even if the talks broke down, he would have nothing to lose.
Zhu Di was silent for a while and nodded fiercely: "Okay, I promise, as long as everything is done, all the land in the Liaohe River outside the Great Wall will be yours!"
"Hahaha, that's right." Truhuchar looked up to the sky and laughed, then bowed pretendingly: "From now on, the three guards of Duoyan will obey the orders of the prince!"
"Then bring all your troops and horses. The more troops, the better!" Zhu Di was like a man who had suffered a big loss and thought he could recover some losses through words. "After all, the more troops and horses you have, the better!" The greater your chances of winning, the more likely you are to get the land of Liaohe River, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can bring 200,000 cavalry!" For the land of Liaohe River, Truhuchar also spent a lot of money.
Zhu Di looked shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "You! Why do you have so many soldiers and horses?"
Tuluhuqar smiled proudly, "Didn't the prince say that the more the better? Isn't the prince happy that Xianguan sent 200,000 troops? As for where Xiaguan got the soldiers and horses, the prince doesn't have to go into details, right?"
The reason why Tuolu Huchaer was willing to send 200,000 troops was not only because he wanted land in the Liaohe River, but also because he was afraid that Zhu Di would regret it after the deed was accomplished, which was considered an advance warning. Zhu Di.
"Of course, of course, the more, the better." Zhu Di's voice was a little dry, as if he was frightened by the 200,000 cavalry.
"If that's the case, then you should bring the soldiers and horses as soon as possible."
Tuluhuqar cupped his fists and saluted: "Please wait for another ten days, Your Majesty. The three guards of Duoyan will definitely come to wait for orders."
"Okay, I will wait for you for ten days."
Truhuchar laughed and got on his horse, lifted the reins, and rode away with the soldiers coming from behind.
Zhu Di stood quietly, watching Trulhuchar and others go away until they disappeared.
A sneer suddenly appeared on his face. Truhuchar thought he was in the heart of Liaohe, which was too much to underestimate Zhu Di. If he had known that there were 200,000 cavalry in Tuluhuqar, let alone the land of Liaohe River, even the entire north of the Great Wall, he would have been willing to abandon it.
As for whether Trukhuchar can get it by then, it depends on his own ability.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Zhen stepped forward and asked softly.
Zhu Di turned around and smiled gently at him.
Without too much explanation, he got on his horse and said happily: "Let's go back to the city!"
When Liu Zhen and others saw Zhu Di so happy, they immediately understood that the matter was settled, and they all smiled.
...On the ninth day, Truhuchar indeed came with 200,000 cavalry.
Zhu Di warmly accepted him and then took the Daning Guards and Duoyan Guards to prepare to return to the capital.
"Fourth brother..." Zhu Quan watched helplessly as his soldiers and horses were captured by Zhu Di, but he didn't even think of speaking loudly in front of Zhu Di.
"Brother Xian, what's going on?" Zhu Di looked at him with a smile.
Zhu Quan lowered his head and was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Fourth brother, the fourth brother now has strong troops and horses, and there is no use for the younger brother. Why not, let the younger brother stay in Daning. After all, the younger brother has lived here for many years, and he needs to get used to living here. Some."
This is because he wants to get rid of himself... Zhu Di smiled coldly in his heart.
There was a kind smile on his face: "What did you say, dear brother? Your palace has been built for so many years, but it has not been completed yet, and it is still so small. Why don't you follow me to Peking and live here?" Yuan’s palace.”
When Zhu Quan heard the word "imperial palace", his heart suddenly jumped. He could hear the ambition of the fourth brother from these two words. Perhaps the so-called being targeted by Han Du and raising troops to clear the emperor's side was just an excuse.
His real thoughts may have emerged in his heart from the moment he moved into the Qianyuan Palace, Prince Yan's Mansion!
"Besides, your Daning City is too close to the seaside. If Fourth Brother really confronts Han Du, you know how powerful his navy is. If Daning City is attacked by then, what should you do, brother? manage?"
what do I do? I surrender immediately!
Isn't it better to surrender to the emperor than to follow you, the vassal king who is about to rebel?
But since Zhu Quan had guessed Zhu Di's wild nature, how could he dare to say these words? Seeking death is not like this.
When Zhu Di saw Zhu Quan bowing his head, he stopped arguing with him.
He directly took the army and all Zhu Quan's family members back to Peiping.
...
Just as Zhu Di was leading his army back to Peiping, a piece of urgent news reached the capital at a speed of more than 800 miles.
Han Du was reading in the study. Since a large number of academy scholars were added to the imperial court, the operational efficiency of various ministries has increased several times in an instant.
Perhaps this is a common problem among people who are proficient in mathematics. After being trained in rigorous logical thinking in mathematics, they will choose the simplest and most efficient way no matter what they do.
Han Du feels the most obvious, because in the past, he, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was busy from morning to night, now actually has free time.
But before Han Du could look at it for long, there was the sound of panicked footsteps outside the door.
Before Han Du could raise his head to ask, the door creaked open.
"My lord, the emperor is calling urgently!"
Seeing Wang Yue coming in, Han Du's dissatisfaction instantly dissipated after listening to his words.
He asked in surprise: "What's so urgent? The Emperor actually asked you to come in person?"
"How do you know this? My lord, you should hurry into the palace."
Han Du followed Wang Yue into the palace in a hurry, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
If it was an ordinary matter, Zhu Biao would not have let Wang Yue summon him in person. Only when encountering extremely serious matters and not trusting others, would Wang Yue be sent out of the palace in person.
Zhu Biao's face was full of fatigue, and he waved to Han Du, indicating that he should sit down first.
Han Du was not polite and went straight to Jin Dun.
"I just received news that Duoyan's three guards have moved, and Tuolu Huchaer led 200,000 cavalry southward!"
Han Du's eyes widened and he couldn't help shouting: "What does he want to do? Is he looking for death?"
The Ming Dynasty even leveled the entire grassland, how could it be afraid of the 200,000 cavalry of its Duoyan Guards? As long as Trukhuchar has no brains to feed the dog, he should not make such a move.
"King Ning is guarding Daning City. If the three guards of Duoyan dare to go south, King Ning will definitely send troops to attack Troukhuchar's lair, so that he can't look at each other." Han Du suggested fiercely.
This is also the reason why Lao Zhu established Daning City and sent Zhu Quan to take charge.
After Zhu Biao heard this, he was not happy at all. Instead, he shook his head with a heavy face: "I'm afraid things are worse than we thought. According to reliable information, the three cavalrymen of Duoyan Guards have crossed Daning and are heading towards Xifengkou. But there was no movement from the Daning Guard."
