First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 88

Zhu Biao frowned and stared at the topographic map in front of him. It couldn't be that simple. The messenger sent by Prince Beiyuan was just as clueless as he was, obviously trying to hold him back.

Zhu Di looked at it for a while and then said suspiciously, "What are they thinking about? When Duke Song finishes sweeping the land of Yanyun, Peiping will be an enclave, and they won't be able to bring in even a mouthful of food?"

Zhu Biao turned and sat back on the seat: "Fourth, go and call Mu Ying over here!"

Zhu Di left as promised, Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and calculated silently, "There are a lot of Beiyuan remnants, but there are only a handful of people who are capable of participating in this situation, and they are all far away, so they can quickly give him a fatal blow. Only Wang Baobao of Shanxi is left."

After a while, Zhu Di led Mu Ying in, and Zhu Biao directly instructed: "Xu Shuai should have arrived, you should lead people to Shanxi to investigate Wang Baobao's whereabouts. If Wang Baobao is still in Shanxi, ask Zhongshan Wang to closely monitor. Wang Baobao is not here, immediately ask the King of Zhongshan to send cavalry to support!"

As soon as Mu Ying heard it, she knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately took orders to leave. Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Biao and asked, "Brother, didn't Wang Baobao and their prince have turned against each other, how could they still cooperate?"

Zhu Biao said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The time has come for the Northern Yuan to unite. Now they want to annihilate our 30 people in one fell swoop, and then stick to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. When they regain their strength, they will conquer the world in the south."

Zhu Di sneered and said, "Their internal struggles for power and profit have not stopped so far, what can they do to restore their vitality."

Zhu Biao stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, foreign thieves are difficult to guard, and domestic thieves are difficult to guard against!"

Zhu Di's face darkened. Speaking of this, what is it that you pat me on the shoulder!

Zhu Biao said with a smile, "Go and invite Uncle Cheng Yi 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 hard, drink chicken soup to make up for it, the slave only added a few ginseng whiskers!"

Zhu Biao also refused to come. After drinking a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, he felt much more comfortable in his stomach.

At this time, Liu Bowen also walked in, saluted Zhu Biao, and then sat aside: "Can Your Highness send someone to Shanxi?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Since Uncle Sincerity has already thought of it, why not remind me earlier."

Liu Bowen held up a goatee and said, "If these Highnesses can remember for themselves, that's a good thing, and what others teach you doesn't 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 instructed Liu Jin, "Don't bring a bowl to Uncle Chengyi."

Liu Jin was distressed. He spent a lot of time on these chickens. For fear that they would die on the road, he had to take a look every day.

Liu Bowen sighed contentedly and said: "Actually, Wang Baobao should have already led all the elite cavalry to leave Shanxi, and those who stayed behind in Shanxi were just abandoned infantry. Discover the truth of the other side."

Zhu Biao also nodded, Shanxi is too close here, if you abandon the infantry, just rushing with cavalry can indeed stab Zhu Biao in the back when Xu Da is not aware of it.

But sometimes you can't win a war just by knowing it. Wang Baobao has at least [-] cavalry, plus the people in Peiping City, I am afraid there are more people than Zhu Biao's.

In the final analysis, it depends on hard power. The opponent's strategy is actually not difficult to guess, but no one knows where Wang Baobao is.

In the end, maybe Wang Baobao didn't come and stab him in the back, or maybe he just took a detour and pounced on him. "

At that time, the one who was stabbed in the buttocks would be Emperor Beiyuan. After all, it was the end of the dynasty, and it would be good to kill the emperor to sit on the throne.

Liu Bowen put down the clean bowl and said, "No matter what, my army is sticking to the main camp, and they can't do anything about it, just like we can't do anything to the majority."

Zhu Biao replied: "So, Prince Beiyuan will definitely go out of the city and choose a place that is suitable for both sides as a decisive battle ground, creating 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, and the people below are eyeing it. If he can recover Dadu this time, defeat Daming and capture the Prince of Daming, then he can bring him directly without waiting for Emperor Beiyuan to die. The general trend is forcing the palace to seize power.”

As soon as Zhu Biao heard this, he felt more at ease. It was good that both sides were anxious. What he was most worried about was that the other side would not be able to retreat. It was best to end the battle before May, so that there would be no need to recruit a large number of civilians, and the common people would feel at ease. Farming.

Just as he was talking, he heard Chang Yuchun come to see him, Zhu Biao asked someone to come in, and Liu Jin reluctantly offered his chicken soup.

The chicken soup had cooled down a little, so Chang Yuchun killed it in two mouthfuls, then looked at Zhu Biao and said, "What does Your Highness think, how should we fight this battle, and how far should we fight?"

Zhu Biao closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "It would be the best if we can decide the world in one battle. Eighty percent of Beiyuan's troops are here. If there are still 10 troops after the victory, I will go straight to the capital, completely Bury Bei Yuan!"

Chang Yuchun heard the words and looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Don't hide your clumsiness, help His Highness accomplish this long-term achievement, and the Holy Master will let you go into hiding!"

Hearing this, Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Biao with hope in his eyes.

Zhu Biao naturally knew Liu Bowen's embarrassing position in the court. Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was not close enough to him, but he was reluctant to let this talented person retire to his hometown.

Before Zhu Biao could say his promise, Liu Bowen got up and said, "It is planned for His Highness, and only His Highness can bear such immortal achievements!"

Zhu Biao laughed when he heard the words. As expected of Liu Bowen, who ruled the world, he actually didn't want to be forced by others to make promises.

Zhu Biao opened his mouth and said, "That's trouble sir."

After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he asked Zhu Biao for Quan Xu and went out. Zhu Biao was also relieved. 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. In fact, this minister does not recommend doing so.

Zhu Biao knew that Chang Yuchun still hoped that he would go on in a safe and steady manner, but the time was not for me. Now is the opportunity to lay the best foundation for Daming. Once missed, it will never happen again.

After so many years, Zhu Biao has almost forgotten the future generations. All his energy has been devoted to this newly born dynasty. He wants to make Daming far surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, far surpassing any dynasty in Chinese history.
