Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 188

After seeing the officials and soldiers of the Liaodong Group sent by Naha surrendered so easily, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others already had some arrogance in their hearts.

Even if he knew that there were more than [-] unsurrendered Yuan troops under Naha's command and fled into the desert, he didn't take it seriously.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't take those escaped Yuan troops seriously.

He went to ask Feng Sheng, just out of trust in Guo An's premonition a few days ago.

After a burst of confident persuasion by Feng Sheng, Zhu Di came back with a confident face.

"Guo Qing, don't worry, Song Guogong and Ying Guogong are veterans with rich combat experience, and their deployment in escorting a group of Nahas out is sufficient to deal with any attack.

Moreover, we don't believe that those Yuan soldiers who escaped would dare to show up again. "

Guo An sighed helplessly. He couldn't tell Zhu Di that a few days before he passed by, Sapphire invited Naha to a banquet. , And remembered the general direction of this Northern Expedition War?
"Your Highness, please forgive me for making a bold analogy. For example, when you are in the situation of Naha, although you really intend to surrender, but you were injured by the enemy during the negotiation and were forcibly detained.

Therefore, some subordinates who were loyal to you, such as Li Wang and Zhu Liang, did not want to trust the enemy at all, so they fled with half of the brothers. What would Zhu Liang think? "

Zhu Di glared, "Guo Qing, what kind of nonsense metaphor is this?"

Guo An said helplessly, "His Royal Highness, you haven't replied to my minister's words yet."

Zhu Di didn't even think about it, and said, "According to the traitors of Li Wang and Zhu Liang, they must firmly believe that we don't want to surrender, and have been wandering around with soldiers, ready to wait for an opportunity to rescue us."

Guo An said: "Your Highness, then those Yuan troops who do not want to surrender will certainly do the same."

Zhu Di shook his head slightly: "Guo Qing, you don't understand, the Mongols are not as loyal as Li Wang and Zhu Liang!"

Guo Andao: "But Your Highness, all the sheep, horses, donkeys, camels, and supplies of the Naha Station have fallen into the hands of our army. How can the fleeing 10 yuan army survive in the desert without these supplies?"

"Besides, without Naha, there are so many Beiyuan officials, even if they fled back to the Yuan court, it would be a felony and a shame..."

"Damn it..."

At this moment, Zhu Di finally understood something, staring closely at Guo Andao: "According to Guo Qing's intention, whether it is out of loyalty, profit, or the persecution of the Northern Yuan court, those Yuan troops who escaped had to fight those The idea of ​​surrendering troops and supplies?"

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness is wise."

Zhu Di got up straight away, just about to go out again, but he remembered something and sighed slightly.

"So what if we know? Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others are all veterans of my Ming Dynasty, and they are the generals and deputy generals of this Northern Expedition. They are not afraid of us, the King of Yan, at all.

What's more, now more than 20 people from the Naha Station have been recruited without bloodshed, and there are countless food supplies.

With such a great achievement, they all thought that the fleeing Yuan army had already lost their courage, and they would not listen to the words of our King Yan. "

"Report!"

At this time, a personal guard came in and reported with great joy: "His Royal Highness, our army is near the Yimi River, and captured Naha with more than [-] remnant soldiers and [-] chariots and horses."

"Very good."

Zhu Di was overjoyed.

When the personal guard withdrew, Zhu Di looked at Guo An, but saw Guo An's serious face.

"So happy, why is Guo Qing so worried?"

Guo An sighed softly, "Your Highness, now that our army has won successive victories, it's as if the Naha Branch is like those hogs in my Yanwangfu farm, allowing our army to capture them.

In this way, no one will take those fleeing Yuan troops in their hearts. "

At this time, Zhu Di was in a good mood when he heard that Naha had captured another [-] remnants, so the vigilance that had just appeared disappeared without a trace, "Guo Qing, don't worry, the Yuan army that has not surrendered has ten thousand troops. Yu Wan, wherever they pass, there must be a huge momentum.

As long as they dare to show their faces, they will definitely be detected by our army sentry. "

"Ugh……"

Guo An sighed helplessly, although he had only met the governor Pu Ying twice.

However, I really couldn't bear the fact that the loyal general committed suicide just because of this mistake.

"Your Highness, since my [-] Yanshan Guards came to Liaodong with the army, I have never captured a Mongol, and I haven't gained any credit for it.

Now, there are not many Mongols around, why not send out a guard and let them go out to see if they can catch some Mongols and get some credit? "

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Guo Qing's words are also a good strategy."

Guo Andao: "However, this matter requires the consent of the general."

Zhu Di said: "Don't worry Guo Qing, Duke Song will still give us this bit of face."

After finishing speaking, he went out directly.

Sure enough, as Zhu Di said, after he informed Feng Sheng of this matter, he was a general who led troops to fight, and Feng Sheng could also understand that Zhu Di did not want to take credit for his subordinates.

As it happens, there will be no more threats around the entire Liaodong area.And along the way, Zhu Di treated him with respect and respect, unlike those bastards like Chang Mao who didn't obey the general's order and didn't have the slightest respect for him.

Therefore, Feng Sheng directly agreed.

The right is to sell Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to save face.

After returning to the big tent, Zhu Di directly summoned the Qianhu and commanders from the left and right guards of Yanshan to come to the big tent to discuss matters.

All the commanders and Qianhu looked listless. They followed Zhu Di confidently into the Northern Expedition Army, and planned to make some great contributions under the leadership of King Yan.

However, what they didn't expect was that they had been marching all the way, and they hadn't participated in a single battle. The brand-new steel knives and spears in the hands of the ten thousand brothers didn't have a single drop of blood on them.

Zhang Xing, the commander of the left guard, was the first to ask: "Your Highness, do you want the teacher to go back?"

Zhu Di said softly: "We've been itching all over for the past few months, and we're going to take you out for a walk to see if we can capture some Yuan troops. What do you think?"

"Really?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed.

"Your Highness, can we really go out and kill those Tartars?"

"Your Highness, do we have a clear goal? I saw the excitement of the gangsters fighting in front of us. The last general and others can only stay in the big camp, and they are all hairy all day long!"

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Di looked serious, and said: "Guo Qing thinks that those Yuan troops who fled into the desert may return, and they will keep an eye on the soldiers and supplies from the Naha outpost that my army escorted. We are going to take you and others to arrest them." rabbit."

"Your Highness, not to mention catching rabbits, even if the general waits for someone to go into the desert to catch the fleeing Yuan army, the general is willing to go."

"Your Highness, please give me an order. The last general and others will set off with the whole army and bring those rabbits back to His Highness..."

Zhu Di said: "Wait for the order to go down, I, who belong to Yanshan Guard, will start a fire and cook immediately.

After eating and drinking enough, take all your belongings, and set off with us after one hour. "

"Follow the order."

All the conductors and thousands of households bowed their hands in excitement, and then walked out quickly.

In the big tent, the moment Zhu Di spoke, Guo An felt something was wrong, as if he had lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot again.

After the big tent was empty, Guo An still had a glimmer of hope.

"Your Highness, are you going too?"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "For such a big event, we must go and lead the troops."

Guo An: "..."

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An, remembered something, and said, "As a civil servant, Guo Qing doesn't need to follow us."

Guo An immediately spoke uprightly, "Your Highness is a man of gold, and you can go there in person. How can a humble official hide in the camp and enjoy the happiness?"

"That's it, then Guo Qing will go and prepare."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

As for Guo An, he could only sigh slightly in his heart, he definitely didn't want to go.However, this matter was brought up by him, how could he stay in the camp?

If something happens to Zhu Di, Lao Zhu will never let him go!
Soon, the entire Yanshan Wei camp was noisy.

Whether it's going out to catch rabbits, or to make military achievements?
As long as they can go out, it is the most worthy of celebration for Yan Shanwei, a group of generals who have been idle for more than four months!
An hour later.

Zhu Di, in full body armor, led [-] Yanshan guards, left the camp, and headed north.

They wanted to catch up with the descendants of Naha's outpost, and then followed behind, quietly waiting for those Yuan troops who had not surrendered to take the bait.

a day later.

On a mountain about forty or fifty feet high, Zhu Di stood at the top, looking into the distance.

It's just that, at a glance, there is no one except for the overlapping mountains.

I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Guo Qing, are you sure that those unsurrendered Yuan troops will hide in these mountains and prepare to plunder those food supplies?"

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, apart from this mountain forest, I really can't think of any other place for those undeclared Yuan troops to hide when they want to rob the convoy?"

On the side, a thousand households asked directly, "Guo Changshi, what if those Yuan troops looted elsewhere?"

Guo Andao: "There are sentry cavalry all over the road to investigate. If they dare to show up and get entangled by our cavalry, wouldn't they send sheep to the tiger's mouth?"

That Qianhu smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

They naturally understood what Guo An said.

Now, the Northern Expedition Army is the overlord of this piece of land. Even those Yuan armies who have not surrendered dare not show their faces. As long as they are stuck by the cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army, they will definitely not be able to escape.

Therefore, as long as they want to make plans to surrender the crowd and transport food and grass, they can only play tricks in this mountain forest.

However, looking at the large forest in front of him, Zhu Di frowned slightly, "But Guo Qing, with such a large forest, I, the Yanshan Guard, can't search every mountain top by mountain?

What if there is a Yuan army hiding in it, see my army searching, retreat in advance, wait until my Yanshanwei leaves, and then return?

So, isn't it useless? "

Guo An said: "Your Highness, then I, the Yanshan Guard, might as well not send sentry cavalry."

Zhu Di said: "Where can we find those Yuan troops without sending sentry cavalry?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, we can wait for the army to hide in a mountain forest, wait for the rabbits, and wait quietly for the Yuan army to take the bait."

Zhu Di asked: "What if my Yanshan Guard didn't defend the Yuan army in this forest?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, it means that those Yuan troops really fled into the depths of the desert. No matter how much our army searches, it will only be a waste of hard work."
