Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

That evening.

Xu Da stood on horseback on the messy battlefield, frowning.

"Third uncle."

Excitement came from the side.

Xu Da turned his head...

Zhu Rui walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, and said excitedly: "We have calculated clearly. We have more than 40,000 Beiyuan cavalry left in this battle. This is even if our entire army of cavalry is concentrated, there will only be more than 40,000. If If there are more, no one of these 100,000 Beiyuan cavalry can escape!"

Although it is a herdsman cavalry.

But these are all the young men of Beiyuan.

How many young people are there in the entire grassland?

Excluding the 600,000 regular elites of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there are at most more than a million young men and women!

They are advancing all the way.

The total number of young men killed and injured was at least 70,000 to 80,000.

If you kill half of the millions of young people on the grassland.

Within twenty years.

The grassland is powerless to threaten the Central Plains!

Xu Da was not happy about this and asked: "How much have we lost?"

The smile on Zhu Xi's face weakened slightly, "The infantry suffered about 5,000 casualties, and the cavalry suffered 2,000 casualties..."

At the time of departure, the partial division commanded by Fourth Brother totaled nearly 130,000 people.

Five thousand troops were left to garrison the mouth of the Three Gorges.

Advancing all the way north, plus today.

A total of nearly 15,000 people have been lost!

Nowadays, the first town of Army is added.

The total strength is only a little over 100,000.

Xu Da nodded, "The casualties are acceptable."

He can still accept this casualty.

Ta-ta-ta...

As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, the rapid sound of horse hooves came.

The scout galloped closer and panted: "Reporting to Duke Wei, Naha's main force has already retreated. I chased him for seventy miles, but no trace of Naha was found."

Zhu Ting finally understood why Xu Da had a solemn expression, and suddenly turned to look at Xu Da: "Third uncle, did Naha find that fourth brother was attacking He Lin when he came out?"

Xu Da nodded.

In fact, after today’s battle.

The Beiyuan cavalry who escaped back would also tell Nahachu that the first army town was no longer in the army.

In the past, scouts could be sent out to strangle the Beiyuan scouts, forcing the Beiyuan scouts to be unable to approach the army.

But when Beiyuan sent 100,000 herdsmen and militiamen to approach and fight.

There was no way to hide the news that the first town of the Army had broken away from the army.

But even so.

Naha would also send scouts to look for Shiro. It was impossible to immediately conclude that Shiro had gone to Helin.

Now, the war has just ended.

There was no trace of Naha's army for seventy miles ahead.

It is clear.

During the war.

Nahachu had already led his troops to leave.

What made Naha leave in such a hurry?

Most likely Shiro's whereabouts were exposed.

"It's good to be able to get three days." Xu Da said to himself, but his worries became deeper.

Naha's reaction seemed to prove that Shiro's guess was correct.

Could it be that Bei Yuan really set a trap.

On the surface, heavy troops were targeted at Shiro.

Is it actually aimed at the prince?

Xu Da stopped worrying about Zhu Di and Zhu Biao's main force, and ordered: "King Zhou, inform the brothers not to clean the battlefield anymore, and take the time to rest. In two hours, we will set off immediately. Next, we must speed up the march. At the same time, all the scouts are sent out. I want to know about any troubles within fifty miles of the army!"

He needed to get to Helin as soon as possible.

At the same time, he had to be on guard against Naha trying to counterattack him.

…

The evening of the eighth day.

The army continued to march forward, and the soldiers could not bear it. Although Xu Da was anxious, he had to let the soldiers rest.

After setting up camp.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng worked together to find Xu Da.

Xu Da looked at the two of them with a tired face, but he cheered up and asked with a smile: "Are you okay?"

He vaguely realized that the relationship between the two young generals and Shiro was not as simple as he thought.

However, he was not prepared to expose it.

Shiro has no ambitions for the Ming Dynasty.

But in the future, he could not predict whether Daming had any plans for Shiro.

I'm afraid he won't live until that time.

If this happens.

Shiro was forced to fight back.

He is also supportive and understanding.

At that time, it would be a good thing for Shiro if Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng could help him.

After Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng saluted.

Qiu Fu said calmly: "Wei Guogong, are you and King Yan hiding something from us?"

"Why do you ask that?" Xu Da was thinking about taking the exam.

Qiu Fu smiled helplessly, "Wei Guogong, we have been marching continuously in the past few days, but we can't catch up with Naha's army. This is not in line with common sense. Naha has 300,000 elite troops. We can divide our troops to intercept Laosi, leaving one to contain him." us……"

"The 300,000 elites Naha produced are fake!"

Xu Da's words were astonishing.

Like a thunder.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were stunned for a moment.

Immediately, Xu Da told the two of them Zhu Di's previous judgment.

Finally, he concluded: "Naha's reaction almost proved Shiro's judgment. Now, the entire grassland elite may have gone to the fishing sea..."

…

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng came to their senses and looked at each other.

Qiu Fu hesitated for a moment, looked outside, and then took a few steps closer to Xu Dashuai's case. After making sure that no one could hear except them, he asked in a low voice: "Wei Guogong, you are the prince's Taishan. If something happens to the prince, what percentage will the prince have?" Opportunity to become the heir to the Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Da's expression changed instantly.

He still underestimated the relationship between the two and the fourth child!

"What is the relationship between you and the fourth child?"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng looked at each other again, hesitated, and replied: "At the beginning, when the prince was a civilian husband, he was on his way to Liaodong with the baggage. We forced the prince to swore sworn brothers of the opposite sex."

Qiu Fu retained Zhang Yu and also participated in the sworn ceremony.

And the plan to raise bandits.

hiss!

Xu Da gasped silently and looked at the two of them with a bitter smile.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the two of them and said, "According to common sense, although Shiro is the legitimate son, he is the fourth eldest son, and there is a hero, so no matter what, Shiro's turn cannot be..."

But these years, Shiro's position in His Majesty's heart has become too important!

And Yuying also regards Shiro as his father.

If something happens to the prince.

He was certain.

Your Majesty will definitely make a choice between Shiro and Yuei.

I will never consider the King of Qin or the King of Jin!

If a hero shows courtesy.

Shiro has at least an 80% chance of becoming the heir apparent!

"Don't be happy about this either!"

Xu Da suddenly poured cold water on the two of them, "Xiongying regards Shiro as his father. Why doesn't Shiro treat Xiongying as his own child? Moreover, Shiro is not interested in the Ming Dynasty. If what you imagined really happens, Shiro will definitely give his full support. Hero!"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng immediately smiled bitterly.

The fourth child will definitely be like this.

Zhu Neng solemnly said: "Wei Guogong, the fourth child just worries too much. To be honest, it is more suitable for the fourth child to entrust the country of Ming Dynasty to the prince than to the prince. Along the way, Wei Guogong must have heard all the fourth child's vision for the grassland."

They want the fourth child to be the Ming Emperor.

It's not that they were thinking about how much benefit Laosi would bring to them if he became emperor.

Even if the fourth child does not become the emperor, they will still enjoy endless glory and wealth when they go to sea and join the fourth child in the future.

According to the fourth child's ability.

In the four seas, it is not difficult to establish a territory comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty.

They simply felt that if Lao Si had the Ming Dynasty as his background.

We will definitely create more brilliant achievements!

It is a great good thing for every common people in the Central Plains.

"Okay, don't mention this matter again! Next, if you two don't fight with all your heart, I won't show mercy!" Xu Da warned seriously with a glare.

"As you command!"

…

ninth day.

It's approaching evening.

Mobei Plateau.

The afterglow of the sun shines on the lush Yanran Mountain.

A large army is only thirty miles away from Helin.

The soldiers sat silently in the ring fortress formed by the carriage, silently pouring out the only strip of dried meat and fried noodles left in the cloth bag, drinking water and eating silently.

Zhu Di stood on the carriage, his cheeks sore, chewing a piece of hard dried meat, staring at the red Yanran Mountain illuminated by the setting sun.

Today, Yanran Mountain has been renamed Hangai Mountain by the grassland nomads.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that Ban Gu carved an inscription of his achievements on Yanran Mountain for Dou Xian. I wonder if he is still there after all these years?"

Zhu Di lowered his head, looked at Xu Huizu approaching, and smiled: "I think so."

have!

He remembered that there were relevant reports in later generations.

Geng Xuan was sitting on a nearby carriage and looked up at Zhu Di eagerly: "Master, if we defeat He Lin, can we compare with Huo Qubing's Feng Lang Ju Xu and Dou Xian's Yan Ran?"

Zhu Di smiled heartily and said: "Yes!"

Ta-ta-ta...

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the dim distance.

Zhou Lang led several riders to rush out from the haze, approached quickly, jumped off the horse, trotted to Zhu Di, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the people who came out of Naha should not have returned to Helin, and the people outside Helin City have not yet returned." The yurts are so densely packed that they are exactly the same as when we came out of Liaoyang from Naha!"

Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others heard the sound of horse hooves and came over.

When Zhou Lang finished speaking, they all looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at the tired soldiers in the car formation.

In nine days, we traveled thousands of miles.

The soldiers were very tired.

Not to mention the soldiers, even he was obviously thinner and his eye sockets were much deeper.

But Naha couldn't have been out for such a long time, and he didn't even know they were dividing their troops.

He had a premonition.

Naha Chu is probably on his way to He Lin!

Zhu Di looked at Tan Yuan, "Brothers, can you hold on? Grit your teeth and attack He Lin?"

In fact, this is very dangerous.

A group of exhausted soldiers will be in great danger if they fail to attack Helin!

Tan Yuan also understood, thought carefully for a long time, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I think it can be done! As long as we take the lead for the generals, the morale of the generals will be high, which can offset physical fatigue to a certain extent!"

Zhu Di thought about it again, nodded and said: "Notify brothers that in two hours, we will attack Helin overnight!"

"Zhou Lang!"

"exist!"

Zhou Lang quickly stood at attention.

"You lead two engineering battalions and immediately go to the front to look for trees and make ladders."

"yes!"

After watching Zhou Lang leave.

Zhu Di became increasingly uneasy.

Are you timid in the face of battle?

Or am I too anxious?

Zhu Di shook his head fiercely, tried hard to suppress his uneasiness, and walked among the soldiers to talk with them.

This will give you a more detailed understanding of the situation in the military.

By the way, calm yourself down.

He knew very well that in this battle, it was dangerous to sideline the enemy.

Today, he leads the Army's first town in a long-distance attack.

More eager to take risks.

Committed to risky opportunism!

But he can't help it.

It’s been nine days.

He didn't wait for Naha to send out his pursuers.

Obviously, his guess was correct.

I am afraid that almost all of the elite around Nahachu have been transferred to the fishing sea.

Time passes day by day.

Big brother is approaching the trap step by step.

If he cannot capture He Lin as soon as possible, his eldest brother and hundreds of thousands of troops will be in danger.

The eldest brother is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Once something goes wrong, the country will be shaken.

The hundreds of thousands of troops are the most elite in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Once something goes wrong...

…

After it gets completely dark.

The Army's First Town is ready for deployment.

A full moon appeared in the sky early.

Under the moonlight.

The eyes of the brothers were particularly bright and firm in their sunken eye sockets.

Zhu Di was so burned by the eyes of his brothers that he could not look directly.

In fact, he was risking the future and destiny of Ming Dynasty with the lives of more than 13,000 soldiers.

Somewhat despicable!

All he can do is to rush in front of his brothers!

Compassion does not command troops!

Zhu Di said something stubbornly and waved his hands violently.

"boarding!"

"boarding!"

…

The sheds are starting to give orders.

Groups of soldiers boarded the carriages in an orderly manner.

"Set off!"

With an order.

Hundreds of carriages, like a tide, swarmed toward Helingao City along the lush and broad grassland under the moonlight.

…

at the same time.

and Lin.

Rumble…

The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats came, alerting the defenders at the south gate.

At the top of the city, the elite infantry troops from Naha stared at the darkness with their eyes wide open.

A moment later, more than a thousand cavalry scouts rushed out of the darkness.

After approaching, the captain rushed to the city gate and shouted loudly, "Open the city gate!"

"Captain, we know you, but it's night now and we can't open the city gate for the Commander!"

The captain was a little angry and ordered: "I have brought the prince's urgent military order. Even if I don't open the city gate, I will lower the gondola and let me go to the top of the city!"

Soon, a hanging basket was lowered.

In the city, the commander met Haitong, the infantry commander appointed by Nahachu.

Haitong and Nai'er are not the same.

They all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and fled the Ming Dynasty one after another.

Several captains of thousands in the city were all shocked when they heard the news brought by the captain of thousands.

"According to time calculation, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty's first army town should have almost arrived in Helin, right?"

"Haitong, what should we do? Should we immediately let the herdsmen and princes and nobles outside the city enter the city?"

…

Haitong listened to everyone's suggestions and shook his head: "No, it is too dangerous at night. Inform the herdsmen and princes outside the city tomorrow morning to leave Helin City!"

Their Mongolian princes and nobles.

There are obviously luxurious mansions in the city.

But he just likes to live outside in a yurt with his servants.

"Tonight, all the defenders will be on duty at the top of the city!"

There are more than 11,300 words in total, which is not enough for 12,000 words.
