Zhu Biao frowned and stared at the terrain map in front of him. Things couldn't be that simple. The envoy sent by Prince Beiyuan acted as if he had no brains and was clearly trying to hold him back.
Zhu Di looked at it for a long time and then said in confusion: "What are they thinking about? After Song Guogong finishes sweeping the Yanyun land, Peiping will be an enclave. By then, they won't be able to transport even a morsel of food in?"
Zhu Biao turned around and sat back on his seat: "Fourth brother, go and ask Mu Ying to come over!"
Zhu Di accepted the promise and left. Zhu Biao leaned on the back of his chair and silently calculated, "There are many remnants of Beiyuan, but there are only a handful of people who have the ability to participate in this situation, and they are far away and can give him a fatal blow quickly." The only one left is Shanxi Wang Baobao."
After a while, Zhu Di led Mu Ying in, and Zhu Biao directly ordered: "Shuai Xu has already arrived. You should lead people to Shanxi to investigate Wang Baobao's whereabouts. If Wang Baobao is still in Shanxi, please ask the King of Zhongshan to monitor him closely. If Wang Baobao is no longer here, please immediately ask the King of Zhongshan to send cavalry to support!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ying knew that the matter was extremely urgent and immediately took the order and left. Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Biao and asked, "Brother, aren't Wang Baobao and their prince already at odds with each other? How can they still cooperate?"
Zhu Biao said: "The lips are cold and the teeth are dead. It's time for the Northern Yuan Dynasty to unite. Now they want to annihilate the three hundred thousand of us in one fell swoop, and then stick to the sixteen states of Yanyun. When they regain their strength, they can conquer Ma Tada in the south." The world."
Zhu Di sneered and said: "Their internal struggle for power and profit has not stopped yet. What can they do to regain their strength?"
Zhu Biao stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, it's hard to guard against foreign thieves, but it's hard to guard against domestic thieves!"
Zhu Di's face darkened. Speaking of this, it doesn't matter if you pat me on the shoulder!
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Go and ask Uncle Cheng to come over."
Zhu Di nodded helplessly and could only continue running errands.
Liu Jin brought him a bowl of chicken soup: "Master, you have worked so hard, drink the chicken soup to replenish it, I only added a few ginseng roots!"
Zhu Biao also accepted everyone who came. After drinking a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, he felt much better in his stomach.
At this time Liu Bowen also walked in, saluted Zhu Biao and sat aside: "Has your highness sent someone to Shanxi?"
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Since Uncle Chengyi has thought of it a long time ago, why not remind me earlier."
Liu Bowen held up his goatee and said, "It would be a good thing if your highnesses could remember them by themselves. What others teach you will not count!"
After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he looked at the bowl in Zhu Biao's hand and said, "Oh, chicken soup, I haven't had it for a long time."
Zhu Biao smiled and ordered Liu Jin: "Don't bring a bowl to Uncle Chengyi yet."
Liu Jin felt very distressed. He had spent a lot of effort on these chickens. He was afraid that they would die on the road, so he had to check them twice every day.
Liu Bowen sighed with satisfaction and said: "Actually, Wang Baobao should have led all the elite cavalry to set off. Those who stayed behind in Shanxi were just infantry and abandoned sons. Xu Shuai used his troops carefully. I'm afraid he hasn't started a hard attack yet, so he naturally didn't find the opponent. Virtual reality.”
Zhu Biao also nodded. This place in Shanxi was too close. If we abandoned the infantry and only used cavalry to attack, we could stab Zhu Biao in the back without Xu Da noticing.
But wars are sometimes not something you can win just by knowing. Wang Baobao has at least 100,000 cavalry, and with those in Peiping City, they are probably even more than Zhu Biao's men.
In the final analysis, it still depends on hard power. The opponent's plan is actually not difficult to guess, but no one knows where Wang Baobao is. In the end, Wang Baobao doesn't come to stab him in the back, and it is impossible to go straight to him. "
At that time, it will be Emperor Beiyuan who gets stabbed in the butt. After all, the dynasty is in its final years, so it would not be a bad idea to kill the emperor and sit on the throne.
Liu Bowen put down the clean bowl and said: "No matter what, if my army sticks to the camp, they will be helpless, just like we are helpless against Dadu."
Zhu Biao said: "Therefore, Prince Beiyuan will definitely go out of the city and choose a place suitable for both parties as the place for the decisive battle to create conditions for Wang Baobao's backstab."
Liu Bowen nodded: "He is also in urgent need of military exploits. I heard that Emperor Beiyuan is in poor health. If he can regain most of the capital this time, defeat the Ming Dynasty and capture the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, then he will not need to wait for Emperor Beiyuan to die, and can directly use the general trend to force the palace to seize power."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he felt much more at ease. It was good that both sides were anxious. What he was most worried about was that the other side could not retreat. It would be best to end the battle before May, so that there would be no need to recruit a large number of civilians and the people would be able to feel at ease. Got into farming.
Just as he was talking, he heard Chang Yuchun coming to see him. Zhu Biao asked people to come in, and Liu Jin reluctantly offered his own chicken soup.
The chicken soup had cooled down a bit, and Chang Yuchun finished it in two bites. Then he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "What do you think, Your Highness? How should this battle be fought? How far should it go?"
Zhu Biao closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "It would be best if we can decide the outcome in one battle. Eighty percent of Bei Yuan's troops are here. If there are still 100,000 troops after the victory, I will go straight to Xanadu and completely defeat Xanadu." Bury Bei Yuan!”
Hearing this, Chang Yuchun looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Don't hide your clumsiness. Help His Highness achieve this great achievement for a long time. Only then will the Holy One let you live in seclusion!"
Liu Bowen heard this and looked at Zhu Biao, his eyes filled with expectation.
Zhu Biao naturally knew Liu Bowen's embarrassing position in the court. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was not close enough to him, but he was reluctant and unwilling to let this talented man retire and return home.
Before Zhu Biao could say his promise, Liu Bowen stood up and said, "It will be planned by His Highness. Only His Highness can carry out such immortal achievements!"
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this. He was worthy of being Liu Bowen who dominated the world. In fact, he did not want to be forced by others to make a promise.
Zhu Biao said: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he asked Zhu Biao for Quan Xu and went out. Zhu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief. It was really reassuring to have such a mastermind. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to let him go.
Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Biao and said: "The strength of the two armies is similar. If you want to win a big victory, you must take risks. I actually do not recommend this.
Zhu Biao knew that Chang Yuchun still hoped that he could go on peacefully, but time did not wait for us. Now was the opportunity to lay the best foundation for Ming Dynasty. Once missed, it would never come again.
After so many years, Zhu Biao has almost forgotten about future generations. All his efforts have been devoted to this newly born dynasty. He wants the Ming Dynasty to far surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, far surpassing any dynasty in Chinese history.
