The Libala he bought was also wearing a set of ordinary Yuan soldiers' clothes, as if he wanted to disguise himself. However, Zhang Yu had seen this person before when he was in Yuanting, and he immediately fished out the big fish. Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at the head of the Yuan Lord who was wearing leather armor that was obviously smaller in size, and teased: "Are you the Marquis of Chongli? I wonder if you are in front of me, the King of Yan, Zhu Di?"
"You and I traveled north and south, and unexpectedly we met here again. Now that you see me, why don't you kneel down?"
In the past, when Li Wenzhong captured Yingchang City, Libala was captured by the Ming Dynasty and was granted the title of "Marquis of Chongli". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu wanted to show the magnanimity of a great nation. The people of the Yuan Dynasty did not value family ties. Keeping this guy would have no use except wasting food. It would be better to put him back and add trouble to the Yuan Lord. So he released the eldest son of the Yuan Lord. That's why Zhu Di asked him like this.
Li Bala, who bought it, wanted to be brave, but Zhang Yu kicked him in the crook of the leg. After he was forced to kneel down, his head was stepped on by Zhu Di's soldiers. Seeing that he couldn't help but struggle, he spoke in Chinese: "Humph, I am the Crown Prince of the Yuan Dynasty, how can I kneel down to a mere prince who pretends to be a Ming Dynasty?"
"You are despicable and shameless, and you actually attacked me secretly... When Emperor Yuan leads his troops south, you and others will all become enemies!"
"My Ming Dynasty would like to have a decisive battle with you Yuan Ren, but you Yuan Ren are already as brilliant as a lost dog. When will you dare to fight against my Ming Dynasty with a majestic army?" Zhu Di said with a smile. These words directly touched the heart of Mai Libala. Now when the Yuan and Ming parties discuss their combat power, the Ming Dynasty is indeed the winner. The Yuan people never dared to confront the Ming army head-on when facing a battle. During the Battle of Lingbei, they relied on tactics such as faking defeat and setting up ambushes to defeat Xu Da's middle army.
A hundred years ago, the Song Dynasty soldiers would never dare to fight in the wild with Mongolia, but now the Mongolian warriors dare not face the front of China. The grasslands and China have long been transformed from offense to defense.
Li Bala was silent after buying it. Zhu Di seemed to have remembered something and turned to ask Zhang Yu: "Shimei, this person is the eldest son of the Yuan Lord. If the Yuan Lord dies, wouldn't this person inherit the throne of the Northern Yuan Dynasty? "
"In other words, this person is the Crown Prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty? Could he be the Yuan Lord who stayed here to guard Helin?"
"Although the Yuan Lord has not officially enthroned the crown prince, His Highness is right to say so." Zhang Yu said. "However, this person does have the highest status in the city. He must be the one to guard Helin."
"In this case, this person must know the whereabouts of the Yuan Master. If we let this person lead the way, we might be able to capture and kill the Yuan Master?" Zhu Di's eyes brightened, but Li Bala struggled again: "Don't even think about it! Even if it is Even if you kill me, I will never..."
"Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" Zhu Di had already taken two steps forward, drew his sword and put it on the neck of Mai Libala. "You are a waste. I, the Ming Dynasty, captured you once before and released you because I thought you were wasting rice."
"Father, I care about my reputation. I consider myself young and ignorant, but I don't have to worry about it. The worst I can do is to get scolded by the Queen of Heaven for my response!"
"If you don't want to say it, it's of no use at all. Anyway, Helin City has been conquered, and this Northern Expedition has already yielded numerous results..."
The moment he was held by the sword, Ribala was sweating profusely. He watched in horror as the blade cut into his skin, and the sword reflected his horrified eyes.
"Say, or not?" Zhu Di asked coldly.
Li Bala shuddered all over after buying it, and the glory of the Borzhijin clan that he was holding just now disappeared in front of the sword blade. After Zhu Di used a long sword to cut a bloody gash in his throat, the desire to survive finally defeated everything, and he spoke in fear: "Say, I say..."
"Ha, you're a weakling." Zhu Di sheathed his sword with disdain in his eyes. Zhang Yu's expression was extremely shocked, and he didn't understand why the Prince of Yuan Dynasty, who was so impassioned just now, gave in so quickly.
"If he was really not afraid of death, he would have died when he was captured by my brother Bao'er. He didn't dare to die before, but now he dares to die?" Zhu Di explained disdainfully. "Speaking of which, there are many such bastards in the Yuanzhu lineage. Before the Iron Pot Emperor started fighting, he was so scared that he lost most of his capital. Now this Yuanzhu Aiyou Shili Dara... is also obsessed with seizing power and greedy for pleasure. Lord."
"Both my father and my ancestors are like this. They have a strong family background. Could this Libala who I bought really be a tough guy?"
Zhang Yu suddenly realized. To put it bluntly, wealth and power are alluring. The Borzhijin clan has been rich and powerful for a hundred years, and it has long been impossible for them to regain their former glory and bloody courage.
Even if he pretends to be a tough guy, as long as the blade is added to the neck, his true colors will be revealed.
Zhu Di began to interrogate the buyer on the spot. When he learned that the Yuan Lord was only one day's ride north from Hala and Forest, he couldn't sit still at all.
Seeing that he was going to pursue the Yuan Lord, Zhang Yu quickly grabbed the reins of Zhu Di's horse: "Your Highness, we have too few followers. Why not report to Commander Xu and let Commander Xu coordinate the pursuit..."
"The soldiers are so quick, it's too late." Zhu Di spoke quickly. "The flames in Helin are soaring into the sky. There may be sentinels from the defeated Yuan army who will inform the Yuan Lord about the destruction of Helin City."
"Xu Shuai and the others are clearing Helin City, and it is difficult to get away for a while. When they finish this matter, it will be dawn. Just send a few people to inform Xu Shuai of the matter. Let's go and hold off the Yuan Lord Jin first. Let Xu Shuai support you later."
"If the Yuan Lord is allowed to flee to the north, everything will be too late!"
"But...but His Highness's body of thousands of gold is not as good as the last general..." Zhang Yu looked embarrassed.
"How can such a good man be so verbose!" Zhu Di slapped Zhang Yu's hand away and directly raised his arms to greet the people around him: "Brothers, tie the crown prince of Yuanting to my horse!"
"Let him show us the way. Let's fight against the Yuan Lord's golden tent and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
"Achieve unparalleled achievements!" The Ming army's morale was greatly boosted and they shouted incessantly. Zhang Yu's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and got on his horse, shouting: "Tear off the head of the Yuan Lord!"
Zhu Di made a quick decision and immediately divided into three teams. One team galloped to Helin City to find Xu Da, while the other team continued to set up an ambush here. The third group of people mounted the horses that came out from Pao Zeyun and headed north.
"Be honest! Show the way carefully. When I kill your father, you will be the new Lord of Beiyuan!" Zhu Di threatened Li Bala.
The man who bought Li Bala's face turned dark, but he didn't dare to argue. He just silently pointed out the path for the Ming army. He did not dare to hide it. As Zhu Di said, there was a fierce power struggle within Yuanting, and farces of brothers killing brothers and sons killing fathers were endless. For the sake of the emperor's position, the family has long been a family tradition. As long as you can enjoy wealth and honor, what does it mean to be a father?
Anyway, when his biological father was young, he often plotted against his grandfather. Selling one's father for one's own life is considered justified.
Under the guidance of Maidi Libala, Zhu Di led a thousand cavalry and two thousand horses, imitating his most admired champion Hou Huo Qubing, and went straight to the north of Yuanting.
