Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 36 036 - The Barking of the Wild Dog

The lights in Zhu Di's study in Yan Wangfu flickered on and off.

No one knew what Zhu Di and Daoyan had discussed in secret language, but the next day, Zhu Di recruited his guard generals to discuss matters concerning the expedition.

For this Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give too much information, and everything needed to be deployed and arranged by the coach Zhu Di.

Everyone discussed for a while, and found that there was nothing to discuss.

To beat others, one must always know where they are. People like Bei Yuan herd sheep here today and feed horses there tomorrow.

Zhu Di tapped his fingers on the table, and made up his mind: "In this way, first select the elite from the army to form a scout team, let them go deep into Mobei, and be sure to reach out and bite. discuss."

After a pause, Zhu Di said again: "Also, the selection of the elite this time does not have to be limited to the central defenders. Some people are also selected from the left and right guards and scattered into the grassland together. Huo Zhen is responsible for this matter. Others cooperate with Huo Zhen. .”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at Huo Zhen and said, "You have to make sure that every scout team has two or three people who are familiar with the situation in Mobei."

Huo Zhen was originally named Huoli Huo Zhen, a Mongol, who surrendered to Daming in his early years, and served as a thousand households among the guards of King Yan, and mainly led the cavalry among the guards.

Many of his cavalry were Mongols.

Huo really clasped his fists and accepted the order.

After that, the crowd dispersed quickly.

Standing in front of the apse, Zhu Di looked towards the direction of King Jin's fiefdom, his eyes shone with stubbornness, and after a long time, he murmured to himself, "I don't know what arrangement you are making now."

He knew that although King Jin had some rumors of cruelty, he was definitely not a fool, and he had a deep friendship with the prince. It would not be easy for him to suppress King Jin.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was a little disturbed, and couldn't help but want to talk to the princess.

When the mind moves, the body moves.

Soon, Zhu Di came to the dormitory, but there was no one in the dormitory. After Zhu Di inquired, he found out that his second son sent someone to imprison a wolf and it was locked up in the back garden.

The princess and several children all went to join in the fun.

Zhu Di suddenly became interested, smiled, and turned to the back garden.

back garden.

More than a dozen leather-armored soldiers surrounded an iron cage vigilantly. Inside the iron cage was a grinning gray-haired wild wolf, staring at everyone brutally.

It was not the first time Xu Miaoyun saw wolves, she had encountered them when hunting with the King of Yan in the past, but like today, there are not many situations that can be turned around to look at, and at the moment she is also very interested, quite like her young and heroic spirit elegant demeanor.

She walked in and turned around twice, and the wild wolf probably felt that this girl didn't respect it enough, so it rushed towards Xu Miaoyun, even though it was blocked by the iron cage, it still bared its teeth and showed its ferocity.

Xu Miaoyun was startled.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing twice.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't hold back her face, turned around and twisted Zhu Gaoxu's ears, and reprimanded: "You little bastard, you dare to catch wolves and come back when you are only two years old. You will not be rebellious when you are two years older. You can say anything today. Let me teach you a lesson."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui all showed anticipation.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mother, take it easy, take it easy, I ordered someone to catch the wolf and bring it back for my eldest sister."

Ok?
Xu Miaoyun loosened her grip.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "Isn't my eldest sister afraid of wolves? I want my eldest sister to practice courage."

The strength in Xu Miaoyun's hand loosened a bit.

Zhu Gaoxu was a monkey spirit, and immediately hit the iron while it was hot: "Mother, think about it, it's not unreasonable for your daughter to be a weak woman if you don't give in to a man. Besides, there is nothing to be afraid of such things as wolves. If you see them twice, you will be scared." It's okay, my eldest sister is not promising in this regard."

Xu Miaoyun made sense when she thought about it, she turned her head and asked Zhu Gaochi, "Where's Yuying?"

Little fat Zhu Gaochi pointed to the distance speechlessly.

Zhu Yuying pulled a maid from a distance and refused to go forward.

Xu Miaoyun beckoned.

Zhu Yuying shook her head, still refusing to go over.

Just at this time.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, the wild wolf seemed a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere. He raised his head and let out a long howl, which lasted for a long time and echoed far away.

Zhu Yuying in the distance was stunned for a moment, and the next moment seemed to return to the night when the snow was dyed in the Moon Palace, and the long howling that night was almost exactly the same as now.

This……

Isn't this a wild dog?

……

this afternoon.

Zhen Wu received the order to report tomorrow, and he will be incorporated into the scout team to go deep into Mobei and search for Bei Yuan's traces.

Zhang Yuqing originally thought that Zhen Wu would stay at home for a few more days, but he didn't expect to leave so early. He looked at Zhen Wu for a long time, thought about it, and finally said nothing.

Instead, he turned around and took down the frozen meat hanging outside the window to defrost it, then took the money and went out, thinking about what good food to buy.

Erxian also sighed and said nothing.

The third child, the fourth child, and the fifth child have no right to say anything.

As for Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, they still don't understand anything, and they are even overjoyed at the inexplicably sumptuous meal at night.

At night, Zhen Wu was lying on the bed thinking about something on his mind.

If his record of history is correct, this is King Yan’s first appearance on the battlefield. Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has paid more and more attention to King Yan, especially after the death of Prince, King Qin, and King Jin, King Yan has gradually become the head of all kings , to control more and more military power.

All of this seemed to be the general trend of history, pushing King Yan to the forefront.

At the same time, during this period of time, more and more details were accumulated for King Yan's future victory.

Not to mention too much, when Jingnan was in trouble, there were many old troops of the King of Yan around Beiping, fighting all the way and surrendering all the way. In this situation where there is no will to fight, it seems that whoever takes command will end well.

But who can tell clearly about history.

If so, how can we say for sure.

The next day, Zhen Wu got up early, and he planned to leave quietly, but he didn't expect Zhang Yuqing to get up and wait for him at some point.

Looked like a sleepless night.

Zhang Yuqing handed Zhen Wu the luggage and some dry food prepared yesterday, and said softly: "My son must remember to return safely."

Zhen Wu took a deep breath, nodded heavily, then turned around and strode away.

Open the door, exit the alley...

However, at this time, Zhen Wu unexpectedly met Zhang Wu.

hiss.

Zhen Wu had a headache: "Why are you here again? Didn't you just come yesterday?"

"I received the transfer order, and I felt that you would receive it too, so I came here early and wanted to report with you. Besides, this time it was not about gathering at the Central Guard camp. I was originally in the city, so did I come here? It's reasonable." Zhang Wu finished speaking in one breath, and even a fool could see that he must have practiced it many times behind his back.

Zhen Wu took a deep breath and said, "You are really good, but this time you are not selected as elite? Why are you also included?"

"You don't think I should be there?" Zhang Wu suddenly felt angry rising to the top of his head.

As soon as Zhen Wu saw Zhang Wu's appearance, he immediately felt much more comfortable, then he stopped talking to Zhang Wu and walked forward first.

"Hey, make it clear."

"Don't just walk away, tell me, am I not an elite in your heart?"

"How can I, Zhang Wu, be weaker than others in my life!"
