Chapter 45 Going to Liaodong
"Come on!"
Zhu Yuanzhang led his men into Dingbian County, which was the last county in Yulinwei that was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the empty county government office, he snorted coldly and then ordered: "To appease the people, there is a strict order not to plunder at will."
, Violators will be beheaded!”
"yes!"
He walked into the county government office and asked: "How is Li Jin doing there?"
"We are attacking Wubao County," the guard on the side replied.
"Um."
Zhu Yuanzhang took off his armor and lay half on a chair in the county government hall. Suddenly a person walked in, came to Zhu Yuanzhang and whispered: "Sir, there is news about the beggar!"
Upon hearing this, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Where is he now?"
"Ningyuan!"
"Oh? Isn't that the place where the Mongols and the Ming army fought?" Zhu Yuanzhang was quite confused.
"He is in the Mongolian army now."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "What's going on?"
When he heard that Zhao Chengchu wanted to gather the defeated Mongolian troops under his command, Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed: "What a great courage!"
"grown ups!"
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang braced himself and asked.
The pawn who walked in quickly said immediately: "Li Jin came to report that Wubao County has been captured, and now the entire Yulin Guard is under your control. Congratulations!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately got up and walked towards the county government office. As he walked, he said: "Go back to Mizhi and tell Li Jin that I am waiting for him there."
"yes!"
Leaving some people to garrison in Dingbian County, Zhu Yuanzhang led his people and rushed towards Mizhi. Two days later, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Jin waiting for him outside the city.
"grown ups!"
"Li Jin, I'm lucky for you this time," Zhu Yuanzhang said, looking at the bandage on Li Jin's body.
"I will never hesitate to serve you!"
"Let's go to the city first!"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that there were almost 60,000 troops stationed outside the city, and together with the soldiers stationed in various counties and towns, the total number was 80,000.
Gao Yingxiang, who was stationed in Yan'an Prefecture, heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had held the Yulin Guard in his hand, and immediately said to himself: "I was indeed right about this person. If I hold this person in my hand, he will definitely become a tiger general."
"Come here, go and send a congratulatory letter to General Zhao!"
Mizhi County
Zhu Yuanzhang held the letter in his hand and wrote back a letter for Gao Yingxiang's messenger to take back.
Li Jin said: "Sir, why are you so respectful to this King Chuang?"
Seeing Li Jin's somewhat displeased look, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and explained: "Now the court's attention is on Gao Yingxiang. Only by keeping King Chuang's reputation high can we lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade!
"
After hearing this, Li Jin immediately bowed and said, "I understand!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not in Yulin at all, but had already drifted to Liaodong. When he saw Zhao Chengchu's secret letter in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart felt hot thinking about the 20,000 cavalry there.
"Sir, a letter from Liu Jiusi!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the letter in his hand and immediately said to Li Jin: "You need to bring 20,000 people into Shanxi quickly!"
Before Li Jin could react, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Immediately follow Liu Jiusi's order when you arrive."
"yes!"
Li Jin immediately walked out and led 15,000 people towards Fugu County. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the letter in his hand and realized that Shanxi was somewhat powerless in the face of the Mongolian defeat, so Liu Jiusi saw the opportunity and immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang for help.
Liu Jiusi looked at the Ming army that had just left Shilou County, Shizhou, and asked the person next to him: "Has the letter been delivered?"
"Sent it! Your Excellency has already ordered people to lead the troops."
When Liu Jiusi heard this, he immediately beamed and said, "Then it's up to us now. Let's inform the brothers to get ready!"
"yes!"
Liu Jiusi returned to a house that he bought as soon as he arrived in Shilou County. Li Jin arrived in Shilou County first after arranging the marching route.
"Meet General Liu!"
Liu Jiusi was quite satisfied with Li Jin's respectful look and immediately went up to him and said, "General Li, please rise. You and I are both brothers. How can we be noble or inferior? If we don't give up, you and I will treat each other as brothers!"
"I've met Brother Liu!"
Li Jin said cleverly.
"I wonder how many people Xiandi has brought here at this time?"
"Twenty thousand!"
When Liu Jiusi heard this, his eyes immediately shone, he held Li Jin's hand and said, "That's it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go to Liaodong immediately, but when he saw that spring had already begun, he was stationed in Yulinwei to arrange spring plowing. Zhu Yuanzhang distributed grain seeds to various counties and said: "If we know who dares to enrich his own pockets, don't blame me for turning your back."
Recognize someone!”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous words, he immediately nodded and transported the grain back. Looking at the people leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the figure hidden in the shadow beside him: "Let people keep an eye on them!"
"yes!"
When he left, the scar on his face was exposed, and he followed the people who were transporting food.
The people in each county smiled when they saw the carts of grain. Yes, as long as the people were not hungry, how could they rebel? The person in charge of the agent in each county distributed the grain to each household without daring to hide it.
private.
Scar looked at the sharp knives left in various county offices and nodded and said in a low voice: "Swords are still useful after all."
Liaodong
Yuan Chonghuan looked at the troops that had deployed their defenses and the Mongolian cavalry who were blocked by the defense line and asked: "Is what you said true?"
"Master Yuan, everything my subordinates said is true. The Mongols are indeed not plundering the border people but opening up mutual trade," the soldier bowed and said.
"Hurry up and find out who brought up the mutual market!" Yuan Chonghuan said immediately.
"yes!"
After the pawns left, Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao walked into the room and bowed and said, "Sir!"
"You two are here!"
"My lord, the officers and soldiers are all assembled and waiting for your order to attack," the two said in unison.
Yuan Chonghuan said solemnly: "Let's wait first."
"Sir, why is this?"
Yuan Chonghuan told the two of them the news that the Mongols had opened mutual trade. Both of them felt incredible and said: "Do the Mongols want to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty?"
"I don't think it's that simple. We'd better find out the origins of this group of people first!"
"yes!"
The two could only turn around and leave. Yuan Chonghuan looked in the direction of Hou Jin with an ugly face and whispered: "I hope it's not what I thought."
"Someone's coming!"
Yuan Chonghuan handed the secret message in his hands to the soldiers and said: "Be sure to hand it over to Marshal Mao personally!"
"yes!"
Zhao Chengchu, a member of the Mongolian army, felt excited when he looked at the secret in his hand. When he saw the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would come to Liaodong soon. Zhao Chengchu looked at the large tent of the Mongolian army and knew that he should take the next step.
