Chapter 10 Empress Ma's Worries
For the West Route Army, the commander is Feng Sheng, and the vanguard general Fu Youde.This is a suspicious soldier all the way, and the offensive route is to go out of Jinlan and attack Gansu.The strategic goal is to contain the Northern Yuan forces in the Gansu region and prevent them from aiding the Mongolian capital Helin in the east.

This is also a tired division, and most of the soldiers are composed of soldiers who broke through the land of Shu in the fourth year of Hongwu a year ago.

The land of Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This army has just broken through the land of Shu, and it has not been repaired for half a year before going out again.Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of officials and nobles did not have high hopes for this army.

Just ask them to be nailed to the western front, so that the Gansu Yuan army will be afraid.

It's just a tired army, as generals Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are not as famous as Xu Da and Li Wenzhong in the other two groups, they can stop Meng Yuan's children from crying at night.

The main force of the two main roads in the middle road and the east road will be defeated. What can a mere west road army do?
What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang had received a battle report from West Road coach Feng Sheng before, saying that the vanguard Fu Youde led a mere [-] cavalry on a temporary basis, and left the team to test Yuan general Shilahan.

Fu Youde went out with five thousand cavalry.Now you, Zhu Su, tell me that he went deep behind the enemy lines and was invincible?
Still fighting and winning, winning seven games in a row?

impossible!Absolutely impossible!
Lao Zhu 1 did not believe it.What time traveler, what history book, absolutely nonsense!

"Fu Youde, the Marquis of Yingchuan, defeated the Northern Yuan general Shilahan with [-] cavalry in Xiliang (now Wuwei, Gansu)..." Zhu Su said to himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.Fu Youde only led [-] riders to test Shilahan. This was a top-secret battle report from the frontline Hongling's urgent envoy.

There are only a few people who know about it among the ministers of the DPRK and China.It is impossible for my own son, who has been studying in Dabentang, to get any news!

Could it be that he also deduced this?But Fu Youde was obviously just a temporary idea!

Could it be that the so-called time traveler is real?
Unaware of the horror in Old Zhu's heart, Zhu Su continued: "Afterwards, Fu Youde did not stop, and defeated Northern Yuan Taiwei Duo'erzhiba in Yongchang again."

"Later, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng joined forces, defeated the main force of Beiyuan's return aid at Saolin Mountain, beheaded more than [-] ranks, and captured Beiyuan Taiwei and Pingzhang (both were high officials in Beiyuan) alive."

"Then, on the third day of June, the West Route Army was surrendered by Beiyuan general Shangdulu, and then turned to Yijinai Road. Beiyuan defender Boyan Timur also surrendered the city."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help applauding after hearing such brilliant and dazzling achievements of the West Route Army.

The third day of June is exactly the same day.He secretly remembered it in his heart.At the same time, I thought, if what Lao Wu said is true, how great it would be!

"It's a pity." Zhu Su's tone changed, becoming regretful. "At this time, the West Route Army received the news of the defeat of the Central Route Army. Feng Sheng believed that 'the land beyond Huahua cannot be defended', so he decided to burn the city and return."

"The West Route Army defeated Beiyuanqi Wang Duoerzhiban at the Biedu Mountain Pass, and captured 27 people including Beiyuan Pingzhang Zhangjianu and more than 2 livestock. Fu Youde pursued them to Guazhou (now Anxi, Gansu) and Shazhou (now Gansu) Northwest of Dunhuang, Gansu), another big victory, captured King Qi's gold and silver seal and [-] heads of livestock, and then the victorious team."

"This battle is enough to make Bei Yuan fully realize the bravery of our Ming army, and dare not invade south easily."

While Zhu Su said, he couldn't help shaking his head.After all, Feng Sheng still can't get rid of the shackles of the vision of the times.If you say give up, you just give up.

What's the point of snatching the seal of Prince Beiyuan?
Of course, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was established, and most of Gansu and other places had been assimilated by foreigners. The Ming Dynasty was temporarily unable to gain a firm foothold in the local garrisons, and there were not enough people in the interior to migrate.

It is also an indisputable fact that if they are forcibly stationed, they will inevitably fall into a quagmire.

However, Zhu Su still felt a pity when he thought of the hard-earned land that was all abandoned in a blink of an eye.

Old Zhu also took a deep breath. He rose from the bottom step by step, and he was used to being stingy.Back then, a copper coin with one petal could not wait to be broken into two petals.Now I heard that Feng Sheng and Fu Youde abandoned nearly a thousand miles of land when he shook his hand, and his heart twitched in pain.

The two father and son shook their heads and sighed at the same time, as if they hated the prodigal son.

"You two are starting to sing here." Seeing the father and son who were in sync with each other, Empress Ma couldn't help but laugh. "According to this, Fu Youde was surrendered by the donkey on the third day of June. Today is only the twelfth day of May, and there is still some time before the West Route Army abandons the ground."

"Is it too early to sigh here now?"

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu woke up. This was just his own son's one-sided remarks.

Whether the West Route Army won a big victory is not certain.

When I thought of my coming, I was still worried about whether the Ming and Yuan Dynasties would change their positions.Unexpectedly, now, he is actually entangled in whether to take down Meng Yuan's Gansu land.Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but also laughed.

However, the haze that filled my stomach when I came here has indeed disappeared.Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and regained the demeanor of the confident Hongwu Emperor.He smiled at Empress Ma: "Okay. I've asked what I should ask. Today's papers haven't been processed yet. Let's go back to Jinshen Palace first. My sister will accompany me for a while."

"Wait." Zhu Su stopped Lao Zhu. "Now it can be proved that I am a time traveler, right? Then Dad, you promised me that you don't have to go to Dahontang..."

"When did we agree?" Old Zhu raised his eyebrows.This rebellious son still wants to continue to lie to him!
Just as he was about to reprimand, Zhu Su's repeated predictions flashed through his mind, and he hesitated in the end, so he let go and said, "...we'll talk about it when the West Route Army's dust settles!"

"Okay!" Zhu Su's face turned happy, and he said with confidence: "Then you are not allowed to go back on your word!"

Lao Zhu waved to Zhu Lao Wu, opened the door and walked out.Empress Ma turned her head, glanced at Huanxi's son with a confused expression, and followed her out.

"Heavchi, have you made a decision?"

"Do you really believe that Su'er is the...traveler from 650?" Empress Ma whispered to Old Zhu.

"Believe it or not, we have to look again." Zhu Yuanzhang replied.He looked north, and the pride in his eyes had returned. "But whether to increase the Great Wall, we have indeed made a decision!"

"We still don't believe it, Meng Yuan, that stinky salty fish that we stepped on, will really have a way to turn around!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and strode out.

Empress Ma, who was hesitant to speak, was left behind with a face full of preoccupations.

She looked at her departing husband, and then at her younger son who was excited in the room behind her.The worry and entanglement in my heart became more and more intense.

... If the youngest son is really a time traveler,
So, would he still be that son who was conceived in October?
