Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 43 043 - The First Northern Expedition with the Army

Since Zhen Wu and others reported the results of the investigation, the entire Beiping area was in motion, and countless soldiers from various guards gathered towards the Gubeikou camp.

Naturally, all of these guards were incorporated into the central army.

On the second day of March, Zhu Di led his troops out of the Gubeikou of the Great Wall, marching hurriedly to the capital where Naierbuhua was stationed.

In the ranks of the Chinese army, Zhen Wu led his general banner soldiers and marched silently. In the mighty army, he was like a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous.

His general banner is infantry, and Zhen Wule's is just like that. After staying on horseback for so many days, although his riding skills have improved a lot, when he sees a horse now, his inner thighs are still trembling.

On the march, sometimes he and Zhang Wu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

One day after the march, the sergeants gathered together to chat, and the content was always the same, who married a young daughter-in-law, I know which family has a pretty widow, and they are really envious of the grandsons of the cavalry.

Zhen Wu also chatted cheerfully among a group of soldiers. The first two topics were discussed, and Zhen Wu grinned beautifully.

When talking about cavalry, Zhen Wu felt boring.

Suddenly someone asked Zhen Wu: "Zhen Baihu, why did you stop talking about the cavalry? When talking about the young daughter-in-law and the pretty widow, you talked about things we have never heard of. You also tell us something new about the cavalry." Yes."

If we talked about it before.

What Cao Cao is fighting against Xiao Qiao.

What is the best servant, the mother and daughter of the Xiao family, three flowers.

What Wu Song persuaded his sister-in-law to take the initiative.

and many more.

Regardless of age or occupation, we can chat for a while.

But what's the point of talking about cavalry? Could it be that if you talk about riding a horse, you almost vomit?

Zhen Wu shook his head, not wanting to talk if he was not interested.

Not only Zhen Wu and his general banner were present, but also those from other general banner teams. Seeing this, they wanted to provoke Zhen Wu.

"Zhen Baihu, you won't be envious and don't want to talk about it."

Xue Lu on the side, how could he just watch others provoke Zhen Wu, and immediately defended Zhen Wu with a pale face.

"Envy? Bah, what is there to be envious of our Baihu? Some time ago, our Baihu joined the scout team, and they said that Naier didn't spend their positions because our Baihu scouted them. What's so rare about the cavalry? , That’s because our family doesn’t want to, if we want to, it’s just a matter of switching to cavalry, and it’s guaranteed to be better than that group of cavalry...”

While talking, Xue Lu turned his head to look at Zhen Wu, and asked Zhen Wu proudly: "Boss Zhen, why don't you explain it to this group of ignorant people?"

"No, you can talk, you can tell them more."

Xue Lu was taken aback, seeing Zhen Wu's eyes full of enjoyment and encouragement.

Zhen Wu suddenly discovered that listening to others brag about him is quite interesting.

……

After that, it was an ordinary march. The two members of the General Banner Team, Zhen Wu and Zhang Wu, didn't know if they had developed feelings for each other. The people between the two general flags hooked their shoulders and put their backs together.

Sometimes, Zhu Neng and Gu Ming, some of the central guards, would come over to chat with Zhen Wu and Zhang Wu.

Sometimes, Zhen Wu and Zhang Wu would also go to Zhongwei's side. For a while, Zhen Wu also made a lot of acquaintances there.

Just like that, gradually the army was getting closer and closer to Yidu.

……

And Yidu.

In the big tent, Qi Qige sat alone in front of the brazier in a daze, and he came back to his senses when he walked in through the tent, and then immediately went up to meet him.

"Abu, how did you discuss with them?"

He bit his teeth and came to the brazier, warmed himself by the fire and said, "They don't want to move anymore. If they want to move, it will always be a troublesome thing in all aspects."

"But don't they know that the Ming army has scouts around? And our spies in Beiping have reported before that the Ming army will definitely attack our grassland this spring." Qi Qige said anxiously.

"I know it all."

Biting his head and nodding, his face was full of entanglements: "But what they said is also reasonable. Didn't you lead the people to kill all the spies of the Ming army? They may not find us, even if they find us, We will fight them at the worst, and there are tens of thousands of us all added up."

After hearing this, Qi Qige couldn't help becoming angry.

She touched her broken arm, Zhen Wu's appearance suddenly appeared in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Abu, the Ming people are all cunning and good at fighting, who knows how many scout teams they have, if the Ming army really comes over, these Can we beat their army this year?"

He bit his head in contemplation and remained silent.

Qi Qige sighed and said: "How about we take our people and retreat for twenty miles, and let Naier not spend them here. I always feel that this place is not safe anymore."

Biting his anger, he reprimanded: "We are all from one tribe."

Qi Qige still said without fear: "I didn't say to split up here, if we do this, if the Ming army really attacks, we can rescue each other, but if rescue is hopeless, it can also guarantee that our fire will not be extinguished. "

"Okay, stop talking."

He bit his boredom and shook his hand, then said softly, "Let me think about it."

……

The Ming army rushed all the way.

But the closer it was to Yidu, the weather changed suddenly, and it snowed for two days in a row. Today, the snow did not show any sign of stopping, but it became bigger and bigger.

It's like a fairy drunk, frantically crushing the clouds all over the sky and scattering them down.

The snow was getting thicker and thicker, and it sank immediately when stepped on it.

The advance of the sergeants became more and more blocked.

After the army stopped that day, in Zhu Di's big tent, all the soldiers sat down in order to discuss the military situation.

Many generals said that the road was blocked by heavy snow, and it was difficult for soldiers to move forward. Not only would there be a danger of enemy attack if they moved forward rashly, but also the logistics troops behind would not be able to keep up. It is better to camp on the spot and wait for the weather to change.

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Di fixed his eyes on the small flag planted in Yidu on the map. It was already so close, how could he be willing to stop now.

a long time.

Zhu Di opened his mouth and said: "We have decided on the strategy of rushing the army to make a surprise attack. If we stopped, wouldn't the rapid march these days be wasted?"

"But the snow is too heavy, and the weather is not good for us, so there is no way."

Zhu Di did not speak for a long time again.

Finally, under the persuasion of the generals, he had no choice but to say: "I'll think about it again, you guys go down first."

After the generals dispersed, Zhu Di walked out of the big tent in annoyance, and walked aimlessly along the camp of the Chinese army, thinking about countermeasures, but the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

When he was depressed, he suddenly saw Zhen Wu patrolling with soldiers.

Among the campers on duty today is Zhen Wu and his general banner.

Zhu Di watched, inexplicably feeling that this young man always had a sense of calmness, with a confident calmness in his eyes, and then thought of what Zhen Wu had done before, and the situation of Zhen Wu and his scout team some time ago.

On a whim, he waved at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu didn't see it at first, but after hearing a few greetings, he turned his head and ran over in surprise.

"Has the camp duty been properly arranged?"

"It has been properly arranged, and it will be correct." Zhen Wu clasped his fists and said.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Then follow me for a while."

This is naturally no problem, and I dare not have a problem.

It was snowing heavily, Zhu Di was in front, and Zhen Wu was behind. As they walked, Zhu Di's voice sounded.

"It's difficult to travel in heavy snow. Some people suggest camping on the spot, and some people suggest making a surprise attack in the snow. What do you think?"

Zhen Wu was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Di to ask him this, and he also felt that Zhu Di's question was abrupt, after all, he was just a small tester.

But when Zhu Di asked a question, Zhen Wu had to answer it.

Zhen Wu thought for a while, took a peek at Zhu Di's expression, thought briefly in his heart, and said: "Actually, His Highness should have made up his mind, but when His Highness asks a question, the humble official will boldly speak."

Zhu Di turned to look at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu's eyes were shining brightly, as clear as ice crystals.

"Think of what the enemy thinks, be surprised!"
