"Dad, this is the clairvoyance given to me by my uncle."
After hearing what his emperor father said, the third child immediately stepped forward to explain.
He was very proud in his heart, even his emperor father didn't have this thing.
He showed off the power of his father's clairvoyance to his emperor.
He just put his hands on his hips and said to his emperor father: Did you see it, clairvoyance, it's mine.
Zhu Di was dubious, and followed the method taught by his son to put his clairvoyance in front of him.
Oops!
His reaction was the same as when Xiao Lao San used clairvoyance for the first time.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Zhu Di turned around and looked outside the tent with his clairvoyance. With the light of the bonfire, he could see clearly the scene next to the bonfire.
"You are worthy of being a clairvoyant!"
Zhu Di smiled.
As an excellent general, he immediately realized the role of clairvoyance in war.
"Do you still have this clairvoyance?" Zhu Di looked at his son and asked, with expectation in his eyes.
"That's me." Xiao Lao San shook his head.
"Then does your uncle still have you?" Zhu Di asked again.
"No, that's all he is." The little old man said.
Zhu Di was a little regretful. If the number was large enough, he really wanted to equip the Ming Dynasty's army.
"It seems that your uncle is very kind to you, even giving you such a precious clairvoyance." Zhu Di looked at the clairvoyance in his hand and said.
"Where can I find it? I got this with one hundred taels of gold." Little Lao San curled his lips.
Zhu Di's movements paused.
This is the Yang Xuan he knows. He doesn't afford to be early if there is no profit, and he doesn't engage in loss-making business.
If one day he makes a selfless contribution, Zhu Di will definitely feel guilty.
"This clairvoyance won't do much good if you keep it in your hands. Let me keep it for you from now on." Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged.
"Dad, I can use this when I go out to detect the enemy's situation. How can you say it won't be of much use in my hands?" The little old man couldn't help retorting.
"You are injured now and cannot go to the battlefield. It would be a waste in your hands." Zhu Di said.
"My injuries are not serious. I can go to the battlefield at any time." Xiao Laosan said hurriedly.
He spent a hundred taels of gold in exchange for this thing. The emperor wanted it with just one word, how could it be that easy.
He is not his second brother. The emperor's father says a few nice words and then just sends good things over.
"Huh?" Zhu Di frowned and looked at his son displeased.
"I said you can't use it if you don't need it. What, is there a problem?"
At this moment, the little lao San felt what it meant to be father's love like a landslide.
The love between father and son is no match for a clairvoyant.
"Dad, if you want clairvoyance, you can take it, but you have to make up for the one hundred taels of gold for me." said the little old man.
He knew he couldn't keep his clairvoyance, but he had to get the money back. He couldn't get nothing and suffer a loss.
"No, no money!" When he thought that the money would eventually fall into Yang Xuan's hands, Zhu Di immediately didn't want to give it.
Originally, Yang Xuan extorted a thousand taels of gold, so he was in a bad mood.
"Dad, you can't do this!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"This money is not for me, I want to return it to my uncle."
When Zhu Di said this, he became even more angry.
"No money, not a penny!"
"Anyway, I don't owe you this money. It's up to you to give it to me or not."
Zhu Di acted rogue and left with his clairvoyance.
"Dad! Dad!"
Xiao Laosan shouted at Zhu Di's back several times, but received no response.
"It's too bullying!"
The little old man wanted to cry but had no tears.
…
the other side.
Zhu Quan and Zhu Gaoxu have led three thousand battalions to return to their positions.
The siege of the Tatars was completed.
"Your Highness, there are enemies ahead."
"I can't see clearly, but judging from the sound of horse hooves, there shouldn't be many people."
A scout under his command came to report to Zhu Gaoxu.
"Send the order and annihilate all the enemy troops."
Zhu Gaoxu ordered calmly.
"yes."
The next moment, thousands of cavalry moved forward.
Zhu Gaoxu and his men slowly approached.
Not long after, the sound of fighting was heard in the distance.
Faintly, there seemed to be another voice.
"I am the Tatar Grand Master Arutai!"
"I want to see the Ming Emperor!"
"I am the Tatar Grand Master Arutai!"
"I want to see the Ming Emperor!"
Zhu Gaoxu finally heard clearly and immediately ordered a thousand households of his men to go and bring the person over.
It's better to come early than to come by chance. I didn't expect that the other party would break out in my direction.
Not long after, a man in his forties was brought over.
"Are you Arutai?" Under the light of the torch, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the man in front of him.
"Who are you? I want to see the Ming Emperor!" Arutai said with an unconvinced look on his face.
"I am the second son of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu." Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.
"Foreign minister Arutai, I have met His Highness the King of Han Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty!" Upon hearing Zhu Gaoxu's identity, Arutai immediately put away his arrogance.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Then, Zhu Gaoxu briefly questioned Arutai.
Then he handed over the command to his lieutenants, and escorted Arutai back to the camp with his men.
He has already received the greatest credit, and the rest should be divided among his soldiers!
…
No one was sleeping in the Ming army camp.
The war is not over yet, who dares to sleep?
The soldiers responsible for patrols walked in staggered directions to protect the safety of the camp.
At this time, a group of people came to the gate of the camp.
"Who is it?" the soldier on guard at the door asked loudly.
Now that most of the soldiers and horses have gone out to attack, the camp is relatively empty. In order to protect Zhu Di's safety, the vigilance of the soldiers has been set to the highest level.
"My king, Zhu Gaoxu!" Zhu Gaoxu said lightly.
Having survived Arutai, he was now in a good mood and did not care about the gatekeeper.
After checking their identities, their group was let in.
Arriving directly outside Zhu Di's tent, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and dismounted.
"Father, father!"
He had just learned from the gatekeeper that Zhu Di was back.
"Dad, dad!"
After calling twice and getting no response, Zhu Gaoxu changed his voice and called again.
"What are you doing?"
"What the heck, it doesn't look like anything at all!"
Zhu Di walked out.
Seeing his second son, he asked again: "Didn't I ask you to lead troops to surround the Tatars? Why are you back?"
"Haha, Dad, my son came back for a reason."
"My son brought you a gift."
"Guess who my son caught?"
He tried his best to sell it off.
With everything written on your face, do you still need to guess... Zhu Di felt speechless in his heart.
However, in order not to dampen his son's enthusiasm, he also cooperated a little.
I saw him pretending to think, and then "testing" asked: "It can't be Arutai, right?"
"Father Shengming!"
"You guessed it right, it's Arutai!"
Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of excitement.
"Not long after my son took a detour, a group of Tatar cavalry ran into him."
"What a coincidence, Arutai is among them."
"This is all God's will!"
Zhu Di smiled and nodded to express encouragement.
"Bring the people here!"
"yes."
"Foreign Minister Arutai pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor!" Arutai knelt down and bowed.
His current status is that of a prisoner, so let's put aside his face and all that.
"Arutai, do you know your guilt?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.
"The foreign minister is guilty!" Arutai said sincerely.
Whether he is guilty or not is not up to him.
"Humph, you are guilty and deserve to die!" Zhu Di looked at Arutai and snorted coldly.
Arutai knelt on the ground and did not dare to refute.
Zhu Di said a few more words and felt bored when he saw Arutai looking resigned to his fate.
He had people take him down.
Later, Zhu Di learned about the battle situation on the front line with Zhu Gaoxu.
However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know much. After telling him what he knew, Zhu Di let him go down.
By the way, he told him that Xiao Laosan had returned and was only slightly injured.
Zhu Gaoxu still cared about his younger brother in his heart. After leaving Zhu Di, he went to visit his little brother.
…
The sky was getting brighter and the war was coming to an end.
Not long after the sun rose, the generals also returned one after another.
Behind them are the prisoners held by Ming army soldiers.
Although they didn't sleep all night, this war was a great victory, and many people's faces were filled with the joy of victory.
The spirit seems to be good.
Yang Xuan doesn't know these things yet. After returning with Zhu Di last night, he simply tidied up and went to bed.
In his opinion, there were no surprises in the final outcome of this war.
What's more, with Zhu Di in charge, there is no chance of any accidents.
So he slept very comfortably and sweetly.
"Ah~~"
Yang Xuan walked out of the tent, faced the sun, rubbed his eyes, and then stretched again.
"Comfortable!"
"It seems that the war is over. I wonder if Alutai has been caught?" He muttered, turned back to the tent, and washed himself briefly.
Then he went to find Zhu Di.
When they reached the Chinese army's tent, the imperial guard guarding the door told Yang Xuan that His Majesty had not slept all night and had just fallen asleep.
Yang Xuan nodded to express understanding and did not force his way in.
Then he asked him whether Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Quan were back.
I learned that Xiao Lao Er has come back, but Zhu Quan has not come back yet.
Yang Xuan went to find the younger brother.
On the way, he stopped another Qianhu and asked him to ask the logistics to prepare two roasted lamb legs for him and deliver them to Zhu Gaoxu's big tent.
And reminded him that there must be enough seasoning.
Qianhu knew Yang Xuan's identity and did not dare to offend him.
He went immediately.
The journey was smooth, and Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers did not dare to stop Yang Xuan, so they allowed him to go in directly.
Mainly because Zhu Gaoxu had ordered them a long time ago that there was no need to stop Yang Xuan when he came.
When I opened the curtain and entered the big tent, the smell inside was not pleasant. The smell of sweat and foot odor were mixed together.
Also, when you are on an expedition, whether you are traveling or fighting, at the end of the day you will be so exhausted that you will never have time to take care of yourself.
Zhu Gaoxu's large tent is still being cleaned up by his own soldiers, so the taste is considered light.
The smell inside the tents of ordinary soldiers was even more exciting.
It can make people close their eyes.
Yang Xuan waved his hand in front of his nose in disgust, and then put up the curtain for ventilation.
Turning his head and seeing Zhu Gaoxu still sleeping soundly, Yang Xuan curled up the corner of his mouth and suddenly had a bad taste.
So he went over and lifted up the quilt, and a palm as big as a cattail leaf fell on Zhu Gaoxu's butt.
Then there was a scream.
The soldiers at the door did not dare to go in to see what was going on. If they saw something terrible, would they be silenced?
He immediately shuddered and stood up seriously.
"Hey, uncle, what are you doing?"
Zhu Gaoxu was very angry when someone disturbed his sweet dream. He wanted to give the other person a lesson, but when he saw that the person beside the bed was Yang Xuan, he immediately withered.
He could only look at his uncle with aggrieved look.
"The war is over and the soldiers are returning one after another. Are you still embarrassed to sleep?"
"Get up quickly."
Yang Xuan said.
"Oh!" What could Zhu Gaoxu do? He could only get up reluctantly.
Seeing him like this, Yang Xuan said angrily: "Why sleep for so long during your lifetime? You will sleep forever after you die!"
“Young people must be motivated!”
Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to argue with his uncle, and he kept saying it.
And even if he had said it, what was waiting for him was not a good thing, but a beating.
In this regard, he is already quite experienced.
I just don't know why my uncle's force value increases faster than myself.
After all, he has never been lazy in more than ten years.
When he was a child, he was beaten so hard by his uncle that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month, which left a deep impression on him.
I thought I would be able to challenge my uncle when I grow up.
But the result was that he was extremely desperate.
After being abused too many times, he became exhausted.
You can't beat him anyway, so why bother asking for trouble!
If he had to describe his uncle, Zhu Gaoxu could only use three words after much deliberation.
Not human!
Yang Xuan walked out of the big tent and sat on the steps outside, enjoying the refreshing morning wind, squinting his eyes slightly and feeling very refreshed.
Zhu Gaoxu washed his face. He was much awake and no longer sleepy.
He walked over to Yang Xuan and sat down, with a slightly resentful expression on his face.
It's right to think about it. Anyone who is disturbed from their sweet dreams will not be in a good mood.
"Okay, I'll treat you to roast leg of lamb later!" Seeing this, Yang Xuan patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder and said with a smile.
The soldier next to him looked at his nose and his heart, pretending that he was just a wooden person.
But neither Yang Xuan nor Zhu Gaoxu paid attention to him.
The two of them were chatting about the war!
"Alutai has been captured alive?"
"Well done!"
"From now on, Tatars can't afford to make any trouble."
"The border will be stable for a few more years!"
Yang Xuan was in a good mood, and the purpose of this northern expedition had been achieved.
The army would rest briefly for a day or two before returning the same way.
After all, the food and baggage they carried was running out.
Although there were some captures in this battle, they were too few for an army of hundreds of thousands.
Zhu Di has already sent people to rush back to Shuntian to allocate food and grass.
Fortunately, Zhu Di had consciously stocked up on food and grass to the north a long time ago. Whether it was to renovate Shuntian City or to supply military rations at the border, there was no shortage of food.
Among them, Tongzhou has hoarded millions of stones, grain and grass.
Zhu Gaoxu did not refute his uncle's words.
The Tatars were already severely disabled, Oara still relied on the support of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Liangha was under the supervision of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to make any move.
There is no problem in saying that the border is stable.
