Zhu Gui came to the side hall, where Sun Yushi and Zhang Mao were already sitting.
He noticed that Zhang Mao's state was not so anxious. Didn't Sun Yushi come to trouble him this time?
As soon as Zhu Gui sat down, Sun Shangqing stood up and said, "I have met the king."
His attitude this time was completely different from the previous two times.
"I wonder what important matter Sun Yushi came to come to this time?"
Zhu Gui asked straightforwardly without any politeness.
Sun Yushi looked embarrassed and was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Zhang Mao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, actually Sun Yushi came here this time to advance and retreat together with Datong Mansion."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Zhu Gui showed a rather surprised look.
You must know that a few days ago, this Sun Yushi said that he respected his own troops and went to war with the Mongols privately, which was against the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Maozheng was about to say more, but was interrupted by Sun Shangqing.
"On behalf of the king, it was Xiaguan who acted rudely before. What the prince did in Yunzhou during this period not only benefited the people of the area, but also stabilized the local situation. Now that the Mongols are invading, Xiaguan, as the imperial envoy, also
I want to do my little bit."
Sun Shangqing's voice said sincerely.
But the more he said this, the stranger Zhu Gui became.
Why did his attitude change so much in such a short period of time? If nothing else happened, it means that this person has ulterior motives.
He looked at Zhang Mao, who nodded, seeming to acknowledge Sun Shangqing's change.
But Zhu Gui still asked: "I already understand Sun Yushi's intention to serve the country with fists and fists, but can you please tell me why your attitude has changed so much?"
"This, because, because..." Sun Shangqing did not expect Zhu Gui to ask such a straightforward question, and was stunned again.
"Actually, Your Majesty, the Yanjing Mansion has already raised troops."
Zhang Mao said directly.
Only then did Zhu Gui understand what was going on, and at the same time he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although they are both the Nine Great Sai Kings, in the eyes of others, his arrogant and domineering acting king seems to never be as good as the brave and capable King Yan.
It is reasonable for the opponent to raise troops, but his dealing with the Mongols will be questioned.
This kind of differential treatment made Zhu Gui not know what to say for a while.
Who asked him to take over such a "mess"?
"Well, in that case, at the right opportunity, I will give Sun Yushi a chance to perform."
After that, Zhu Gui left.
It seems that Sun Shangqing saw that King Yan sent troops, which greatly increased the victory rate, and he would not be punished by the court, so he wanted to improve his record.
Zhu Gui naturally has nothing to say to such a person.
But something strange happened to him. It was clear that Xu Miaoqing had just set off. In such a short time, he probably hadn't even reached half the distance to Yanjing. How could Yanjing have already raised troops?
Then there was only one possibility left. Zhu Di had been observing the movements here and saw that the Mongols were making big moves, so he was unwilling to be left alone.
Of course, it is also very possible that he wanted to sell Zhu Gui a favor. After all, the firearm in his hand had always been something that the other party was bound to get.
After understanding this, Zhu Gui was not happy at all. This was supposed to be a turnaround for him to ride on the wind and get rid of his past notoriety.
Now it is very likely to become a little red flower on King Yan's merit list.
No, it's not Zhu Gui's character to sit back and wait for death.
…
"My lord, are you kidding me? Are we going to abandon the castle and attack the Mongols' golden tent?"
Xu Yingxu looked at Zhu Gui in surprise. Isn't this young prince such a reckless person? What's wrong with him?
He now knew about King Yan's sending troops, and the safest way now was to defend. When the troops from King Yan's Mansion arrived, they could defeat the Mongols in one fell swoop.
"The Mongols' target is Datong Prefecture. They will not attack here. Datong Prefecture has the advantage of defending the city. Coupled with the Hongyi cannon, the Mongols will not be able to capture it for a while, and this is a fighter opportunity."
"As long as the sneak attack is successful, the Mongols will definitely have low morale. In addition, they are a coalition of tribes, and it is very likely that they will disperse in a hurry."
Zhu Gui pointed to the location of the Golden Tent on the map and said that Hu Shidao had figured it out a long time ago.
However, the Tian Khan was also very cautious, and he actually left half of his five thousand cavalry to guard the golden tent.
Xu Yingxu said: "Your Majesty, everything you said is possible. If there is a flaw in one of the links, we will all suffer huge losses. Don't forget that the Mongols' mobility far exceeds that of our army. I am not questioning the Prince's battle plan.
, I just want to know why the prince did this."
Zhu Gui sighed and said: "As one of the kings of Sai, I don't want to live in the shadow of King Yan, so it is best to win this war before King Yan's reinforcements arrive."
Xu Yingxu: "But..."
He couldn't understand Zhu Gui's strange idea. They were both kings of Sai and had adjacent fiefdoms. This was supposed to be a situation of mutual help. This was also one of the important reasons why the current emperor established the king of Sai.
But Zhu Gui didn't explain anything to him.
He came to the Ming Dynasty not to embrace the lap of King Yan, but to surpass the Yongle Emperor of later generations.
Coupled with the words about Xu Miaoqing in his mind, this aroused his desire to win.
"Okay, the prince's order will be carried out in the end. When will we take action?"
Xu Yingxu hesitated for a long time, but finally made up his mind.
As the garrison general of the local garrison, he did not have to obey the orders of the vassal prince who was not escorted by the prince, but for various reasons, he still chose to do so.
Zhu Gui did not act recklessly. He directly took out a secret letter and handed it to Xu Yingxu.
"According to the intelligence report, the Mongols have been assembled and will start taking action tonight. However, because their action force is too strong, we will not be able to take action until the war starts in Datong Prefecture. This is my king's plan..."
…
Heimuhan looked at the groups of elite Mongolian cavalry with different costumes passing by. They were warriors from various tribes on the grassland.
He was supposed to be one of them, but because of three collisions with the Mingren young prince, he has now become a joke on the grassland.
And the task he was assigned this time was also very simple, that is, to guard the grain road and there was no need to go to the battlefield at all.
This was a humiliating task for the Mongols, because they had neither baggage nor food and grass. Every time they fought, they just grabbed wherever they went, and it was naturally the same this time.
"Even if we win this battle, it won't have anything to do with our Heimuhan tribe, right? Then what am I still holding on to?"
Hei Muhan looked at the sky. The stars in the east were unusually bright, resembling the profound gaze of the king.
