When everyone heard this, they frowned: We didn't agree to your expedition. The commander of the Houtun Guard of Yingzhou said, "Your Majesty, it's not that we are greedy for life and fear of death, nor that we are ruthless. This military talisman..."

Before Guo Guangchang could finish his words, Zhang Pu looked up and glanced at everyone, and said in a hurry: "What? Prince, some people are unwilling to go out to fight the Tartars?" After this scan, the murderous aura in his eyes was revealed, which scared Guo Guangchang quickly closed his mouth, and the others also bowed their heads.

Yao Guangqi and Zhu Neng in the distance saw this situation and smiled at each other. Yao Guangqi asked, "What method did you use to shock the horse?"

Zhu Neng shook his head mysteriously: "The Buddha said, "You cannot say, you cannot say."

When Zhu Di led the five guards of Yingzhou back to Peiping, the three guards of Yan Wangsan in Peiping and the nine guards under the jurisdiction of the Beiping Dusi had been rectified, and they had to go to war at any time with Zhu Di's order.

Zhu Di stood at the top of the city and looked at the flags of the guards floating under the city, and felt extremely excited. This was a tens of thousands of troops. He could command such an army for the first time when he went to the battlefield. Zhu Di felt his blood boiling, and every pore in his body was filled with excitement. Looking far away, he seemed to see the future, see the battlefield in the distance, and see himself commanding and dispatching in front of the formation. His army rushed towards the Mongols like a tide of the Mongols. The Mongols resisted stubbornly, but under the strong impact of his side, the front line finally collapsed, and the Mongols fled in scattered like dogs.

"Prince!" A voice brought Zhu Di back to reality. The person who spoke was Zhang Yu. At this time, he was still a pseudonym Zhang Pu, and his identity was still a hundred households. "The scouts have been sent out, are we going to set off too?" Zhang Yu thought that Zhu Di was planning how to advance, and was afraid of disturbing Zhu Di's ideas, so he deliberately lowered his voice.

There were no generous speeches that motivated the entire army, nor did there be bold words to kill the enemy and make meritorious rewards. Although Zhu Di had already brewed these words countless times, although he was afraid of forgetting and had written them in his pocket, but now, facing such a large army, facing the military flag fluttering in the wind, and facing the soldiers who were ready to go, Zhu Di found that he could not speak a word.

"Set out!" Zhu Di issued this simple order to send troops loudly.

The world is vast and everything is growing. The land of Hebei is full of atmosphere. The 17th Guards and Ninety-Thousands of Army troops were dispatched. The marching queues could not forget the edge at first sight and rushed straight to Kaiping Guards. The army was neatly and tidily. The soldiers' pace was not uniform, but the 100,000 steps were still shaking the ground, and the earth made a dull sound. Yao Guangqi and Tang Hao were dressed as grassland merchants at this time, standing on horseback on the hillside next to the team. The two were also shocked by this magnificent scene, especially Tang Hao. Although he had often contacted military people since he was a child, facing such a large and majestic army, and he looked at it so close. This was the first time. The young man was so excited that he couldn't help but turn on his horse and gallop towards the grassland in the north.

Zhu Di, who studied military books with Li Wenzhong since he was a child, realized that it was not easy to lead the troops until he actually led the troops. The marching sequence, the supplies, the information summary in front, and the coordination of various personnel must first face a lot of details and trivial matters. For Zhu Di, who was rarely in the military, was indeed overwhelmed. Fortunately, Zhu Di had two good helpers, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

Zhang Yu has been in the army for more than half a year and is very familiar with military affairs. Every time Zhu Di gives orders, he can carefully consider and improve them into practical orders. Zhu Neng has always been without military books. This time was the best opportunity for him to personally verify the military strategy, so he kept thinking about it from the beginning and made various suggestions and suggestions for Zhu Di, so Zhu Di did not make any major mistakes in leading troops for the first time.

After walking about fifty miles, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and then there was a thunder out of nowhere in the sky. The army quickly stopped to shelter from the rain. At this time, Zhu Di found Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu again, "This marching is too slow. If we continue at this speed, the Mongols will come over before we meet with the Kaiping Six Guards."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Soldiers are very fast. Timur's long-time general on the battlefield must know this truth, so he will definitely go south quickly and catch us off guard."

Soon, Zhu Di and his friends discussed a new countermeasure.

Zhu Di, Zhang Yu and others were correct inferences about Timur. Kuotai Timur had been fighting on the battlefield for decades. Of course, he knew the basic principle that soldiers were very fast. He did so. His original plan was to send troops to attack Kaiping, attract the attention of the Ming court and attract the main force of the Ming army to Kaiping. After the Ming army rescued in Kaiping, he led the main army to appear unexpectedly at the city of Beiping. It would be best if he could capture Beiping. Even if he could not capture Beiping, the Ming army discovered that his strategic intention would definitely return to rescue Beiping. At that time, as long as an ambush was set up on the way back to the Ming army, he would definitely severely damage the main force of the Ming army. This move was not actually the first to Kuotai Timur. In recent years, he often read some Han history and military books, especially the battle examples of famous generals in ancient and modern times. To put it bluntly, this move was actually learned from Sun Bin's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao.

However, Timur made two preparations. The first was to severely damage the main force of the Ming army and occupy Peiping. He threatened the Ming Dynasty to win food and treasures as much as possible for him, and returned it to Peiping when he received the food. As long as he had food and money, he could gather more subordinates and seize more territory and pastures. The reason for this plan was that Timur knew that his tens of thousands of troops would definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Peiping. Not to mention that the power of the Ming Dynasty was far greater than that of himself, there was also the constraints of the Golden Family behind him. Even if he had a foothold in Peiping, he might not be able to gain benefits in the end, and he might be stabbed from behind and finally surrendered from Peiping.

Timur's second-hand preparation was that if the Ming court did not compromise, he would take advantage of the autumn harvest to transport all the grain from Peking City and surrounding areas back to the grassland. With this grain, he would not be in vain.

It can be said that Timur had the confidence to win this time. First, the time he went south must have been unexpected to the Ming court. Second, Li Wenzhong, who defeated himself last year, has returned to Beijing. According to his spies in Yingtian, Li Wenzhong often fell seriously ill when he returned and is bedridden. No one in the other veterans and generals of the Ming court, who died and died, can lead the army to compete with him. With this mentality, Timur dared to advance again when he was defeated last year.

However, although Timur's plan was good, there was a problem when it was implemented, and the problem was with people. The first problem was that his son would not spend. This time he came out, Timur originally wanted to take his son to the battlefield without spending some experience.

, First, let him see some world, and second, he also accumulates hopes in the army, so that he will not be able to control his subordinates in the future. However, his lively son disappeared before going to war.

The second problem facing Timur is that his subordinates are in disagreement. The two generals under Timur, Dahulu and Shutanle, were originally life-and-death brothers who had a long relationship, but their relationship suddenly became tense in the past two days. At the last meeting, the two directly confronted each other outside their tent. If it weren't for their guards stopping them, they would have almost moved the knife.

Timur secretly sent someone to inquire and found out that the conflict broke out because Dahulu learned that Shutanle was having an affair with his concubine and asked Shutanle to argue. Shutanle hid, but only one day later, Shutanle actually came to the door to argue with Dahulu, the reason was that Dahulu and Shutanle's concubine had an affair. After knowing the whole story, Timur immediately knew that this must have been a traitor in the middle. First, he secretly revealed the news of Shutanle and Dahulu's wife and concubine to Dahulu, and then he followed the news of Dahulu's love affair with Shutanle to Shutanle. After Dahulu provoked the conflict between the two, he could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. It was such a good method. Timur thought to himself that he had not read this person wrong, and his mind was deep and not inferior to him.

But now it is the critical moment of advancing. The two generals have such a tense relationship that it is difficult for them to advance together, so Timur had to temporarily change the formation and let Dalahuachi lead his troops to feint the attack on Kaiping.

Although Dalahuachi was scheming, he never gave any discount on the execution of Timur's orders. After receiving the order, he immediately set out for Kaiping.

Dalahuachi marched very quickly and soon arrived at a place less than 200 miles away from Kaiping. Then Dalahuachi ordered the entire army to repair it on the spot, waiting for the outpost to send back the news from the Kaiping Guard. Not long after, the outpost reported the return and captured a soldier of the Ming army. The outpost said that the man had taken the initiative to surrender, so he brought it back.

"What's your name? What are you doing?" asked Dalahuachi. Although his Chinese language was not standard, he still spoke very casually.

The person caught was a fat man with big head and ears. The flesh on his cheeks had begun to sag because they were too much and thick. As soon as he spoke, the flesh on his body was trembling: "The little one was Qin Zhaoming. He turned out to be a thousand households in the Ming army, and now he is a groom."

When Dalahuachi heard that it was Qianhu, he immediately felt enlightened: "It was Qianhu, why did he become a groom again? You said you were going to join us?"

Qin Zhaoming gritted his teeth and said, "The young man offended the King of Yan Zhu Di and was demoted to the groom by Zhu Di. They did not treat the young man as a human being. The young man secretly ran out while the people were not paying attention and came to join you."

This person was the fat family who blackmailed Zhu Di. Although this person was hateful, Zhu Di was soft-hearted and did not kill him, but demoted him to raise horses. Of course, Qin Zhaoming did not tell the truth or talk about the bad things he did, but portrayed Zhu Di as a greedy and lustful bad guy. He himself became a persecuted innocent officer. He took advantage of the opportunity to raise horses and stole a horse and fled, abandoning the darkness in front of the formation.

Dalahuachi listened to the story compiled by Qin Zhaoming and felt that this person was a little suspicious, so he began to ask about the specific situation within the Ming army, including the establishment of military households and various guards. Qin Zhaoming had been in Yingzhou Guards for many years and was indeed familiar with the situation and answered it very well. Dalahuachi then let it go.
