Chapter 84
Qu Neng nodded and said, "Your Majesty obeys orders! Your Highness is in charge of suppressing the rebellion, and I will do my best to assist you!"

So he began to tell Zhu Yun about the situation of the enemy army.

Qu Neng was originally from the honorable lineage, so of course he was no stranger to Zhu Yunxi, and coupled with his relationship with Sapphire, he had a natural liking for him.

On the way here, Zhu Yunxi also got to know Qu Neng in great detail.

I don't know, I don't know, but I was really surprised when I knew it.

This is a fierce general!

Qu Neng has a great talent and general strategy. He joined the army with his father when he was young. He has rich combat experience, is good at riding and shooting, understands strategy, and is well-known in the court and the public.

During his stay in Shu, he got along well with the chief envoy and the inspector, which made the government orders in Bashu smooth and the people's hearts smooth.

Since then, the political power in Sichuan has been stable, and the army and the people are also very united.

After the war, the economy of Shu was in decline, and a thousand wastes were waiting for prosperity. According to the actual situation, Qu Neng actively stationed troops to guard the border, strengthened the military, quelled turmoil, and stabilized people's hearts.

In response to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of "trading horses with tea", Qu Neng set up tea and horse departments in Diaomen, Yazhou, Yongning, to deal with all matters related to the purchase of tea and horses.

In addition, the tea produced in the Sichuan area was used as the official tea to ensure the resource guarantee of Yima, prosper the economy and trade, and enrich the military equipment, so that the good horses in the snow areas such as Ganzi, Aba, and Qinghai flowed to the inland, effectively improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. .

Qu Neng has always been good at government affairs, and his military management level has been highly recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In those years, the war in Yunnan and Guizhou was not stable, especially in Anshun, which is known as "the belly of Guizhou and the throat of Yunnan", the battle situation was complicated, and the army was extremely dense.

Therefore, it is still prudent for Qu Neng to guard Sichuan.

In the first month of the 23rd year of Hongwu, the barbarians in the West rebelled again, and Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly sent Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang, to lead Qu Neng to Dadu River to invite them to attack.

Lan Yu and Qu Neng had a very close old friendship, and both of them were famous in the three armies. After careful deployment, they decided to divide their troops to conquer.

Qu Neng led his troops straight to Sanmao Cave, which is today's Enshi.

The caves here are the largest with scattered hairs, and there are many races. They like to fight and are not afraid of death.

Qu Neng was invincible in attacking everything, encircled and suppressed all the way, captured more than [-] people including Tumu Tingre, and sent them to the capital with weapons. Yu Man retreated and scattered Mao Xiping.

Lan Yuzuo asked Zhu Yuanzhang to send [-] soldiers to garrison this place by Qu Neng, and add a thousand households in Datian, which is now Xianfeng County, Hubei, to strictly prevent the rebellion of the Fan people again.

In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Fan people, Qu Neng organized the people to build water conservancy, develop cattle farming, and cultivate fine seeds, so that a large number of refugees entered the country to engage in land reclamation.

At one time, the accumulated population was no less than tens of thousands, and it was full of villages, which made this area under very effective governance.

Historically, during the Battle of Jingnan, Qu Neng's leaders Qu Yu and Qu Tao led a thousand cavalry, and with the help of a ladder, took Zhang Yemen's defenders to surprise, and suddenly attacked, and the Yan army was invincible.

Qu Neng led his sons to cut open the gate of the city, led more than a thousand soldiers, and prepared to rush to the city. Fearing that the city would be too large and it would be difficult to escape without soldiers, he stood at the gate of the city and called for help from the rear.

It's a pity that he followed Li Zhanshen
Li Jinglong thought to himself, this city is already in critical condition, if Qu Neng can ascend today, I can destroy it in the future.

In order to claim the credit for taking down the city of Beiping, Li Jinglong performed another tricky operation.

Li Jinglong immediately sent a report to Qu Neng on a flying horse, ordering him not to enter alone, in order to prevent plotting, and to lead a large team to enter together tomorrow.

Qu Neng got the military order and dared not disobey it.

Besides, he only had a thousand people, even if he really entered the city, it would be useless at all, because there were still defenders inside the city, so he had no choice but to retreat outside the city.

As a result, the Southern Army missed an excellent opportunity to break the city, giving Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of Zhu Di who was defending the city, a respite.

Qu Neng broke through the city, which surprised Zhu Gaochi who was stationed in Beiping. He went to inspect the city in person, and saw that the city was so hard that there was no place to climb. He was also surprised how they got here.

However, he hurriedly urged the soldiers to draw water to get wet.

At that time, the weather was cold, the dripping water turned into ice, and the cold wind overnight, the city of Beiping had already become a city of ice.

Li Jinglong led tens of thousands of soldiers to Zhang Yemen the next day. Seeing that the ice and snow on the city were as smooth as oil, there was no room for them, so they had to stop.

Qu Neng looked at it and sighed deeply about the missed opportunity.

Since then, the Southern Army has never broken the gate of Beijing again!
If the coach that day was not Li Zhanshen but Qu Neng, then the city of Beiping would have been breached and Zhu Di's lair would have been cut off.

At that time, the morale of the army will be unstable and the hearts of the people will be turbulent, and defeating him will be just around the corner!

It's a pity that the existence of Li Zhanshen turned all the credit into a lament.

After listening to his speech, Zhu Yunxi felt much more relaxed after knowing the current situation of the rebels.

"I thought the rebels were so powerful, and with Mr. Qu around, they would be able to calm down soon."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love!"

Qu Neng frowned, and said: "But Your Highness doesn't know, the rebels incited a few tribes around to participate in the rebellion, and if a large army overwhelms the border, it would not be difficult to wipe them out.
What's difficult is that these tribes will definitely have troubles in the future, and they will be inexhaustible and indestructible. "

Hearing Xian knows Yayin, since he said so, there must be a way to deal with it.

Xu Huizu glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and said: "Lord Qu, since His Highness the Third Highness is here, just say what you have to say, and the Third Highness will decide whether it will be successful or not!"

Qu Neng gritted his teeth, and then said: "Your Highness, the surrounding tribes followed suit, part of the reason is that the guards occupied the land, and with the increase of the population, they have no more land to cultivate, and chaos will gradually arise. "

"I implore Your Highness to allow them to reclaim a certain amount of wasteland freely, so as to guarantee the cultivated land,"

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face, "Master Qu, are you ready for the hoe I asked you to prepare?"

Qu Neng was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "His Royal Highness, your subordinates are ready!"

My heart moved, and as if I couldn't believe it, I asked pleasantly, "Could it be that His Highness prepared... just to allow the people to reclaim the land?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Arable land is a major problem for the people in the Southwest. If there is not enough arable land for them to cultivate, no one will be at peace..."

"I not only want to cultivate land for them, but also open business routes here, send precious medicinal materials and furs outside, and bring in good things from outside..."

The words changed, and he said coldly: "But if they want to get these benefits, they have to pay a price! They dare to respond when someone rebels, it is really audacious!

We don’t know how many soldiers will bleed to death and how many people will be homeless in our counter-insurgency. There is no reason to give others what we have sacrificed our lives for!No one gets something for nothing! "

The order said: "You pass orders to the various tribes, and after seven days, I will meet them here.

I have given them the opportunity, it depends on whether they know the current affairs! "

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

 Please support us, thank you!
