First Prince of Ming Dynasty

After giving the order, Zhu Biao glanced at the eager Huang Bin and said, "It's hard work for the news from the Marquis of Yichun, let's go down and rest."

When they all went down, Chang Yuchun said, "The situation is unclear now, so we should stop calmly."

Zhu Biao nodded: "The general trend is with me, so what if we lose Beiping, we can surround them without attacking them, and we can trap them to death if we are trapped."

Zhu Biao has a steady stream of supplies, but the other party has none. This is why Beiyuan gave up Beiping at the beginning. Without the supply of grain and grass in the Central Plains, Beiping is just an isolated city.

What Zhu Biao is thinking about now is not the gains and losses of a city or a place, but what is the purpose of Bei Yuan?

Liu Bowen said: "It seems that their goal is us. As long as we can defeat us, with the current situation of the imperial court, it is impossible to gather another 300,000 troops for the Northern Expedition in at least five years!"

Chang Yuchun nodded: "If you can capture His Royal Highness..."

Zhu Biao touched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, thinking about what to do. If he was in a stalemate, even if he could win the final victory, it would be nothing more than killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred!

The supply and demand of an army of more than 200,000 troops is terrifying. Not only does Ming Dynasty have to empty the national treasury, but it also needs to recruit a large number of civilian laborers in order to transport grain and grass. Then this year's spring plowing will be delayed again, and some people will not be able to survive. It started again.

Zhu Biao pinched his eyebrows a little irritably. If he was just a general, he naturally wouldn't have to think so much and just concentrate on winning the battle. But he is still the heir of the Ming Dynasty, so he has to think about whether his people can survive.

How about giving up on the Northern Expedition and recovering Yanyun after accumulating several years of food and supplies, and even destroying Beiyuan completely in one go?

The most painful thing is that you obviously have the strength to blow him up, but he is not going to fight you, so he is exhausted with you.

Now that the information is insufficient, Quan Xu has already sent people to collect it, and the big tent is still set up. Zhu Biao called Zhu Di, and a group of people made various plans based on the existing information.

Zhu Biao didn't fall asleep much that night, it was like a cat scratching his heart, making people toss and turn.

The next morning, the army moved to a high ground that was good for defense, and set up various ditches, trip ropes and other arrangements.

Finally, in the afternoon, Lan Yu Muying led a group of people back to the camp.

A man in iron armor stepped forward and knelt down at Zhu Biao's feet: "The last general is incompetent. He lost Peiping. He deserves death. Please deal with it!"

Zhu Biao personally helped him up and said: "This is not a crime of war. What is the crime of Song Guogong's desperate resistance? Hu Mei's treason and defection to the enemy is the crime of punishing the nine clans!"

Song Guogong is of course guilty, but the current situation is to unite all forces. Now that Zhu Biao has dealt with Feng Sheng, the soldiers under his command will naturally die and the fox will be sad. Dealing with the general before the battle is a big taboo!

Song Guogong clasped his fists and said: "After accepting the general's order, the last general led his troops out of Beiping. Fortunately, two generals, Lan Yu Muying, came to help me. I still have 50,000 people under my command."

Zhu Biao spit out a mouthful, which was much better than expected, so there were about 200,000 left in his 300,000 army. "

When the person involved came, the information would be much more accurate. Following Song Guogong's narration, Zhu Biao also confirmed that Bei Yuan's real target was him.

The reason why Song Guogong still has so many troops left is because the opponent has at least 80,000 cavalry who did not participate in the attack, but were waiting in the woods outside the city.

If Zhu Biao led the exhausted army to help, and was stabbed by a cavalry in the buttocks, the panic-stricken army would be defeated immediately, even if the strength was superior, it would not be able to stop the fear in his heart.

The current situation is in an embarrassing situation. If Zhu Biao attacks Beiping, he will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.

Zhu Biao ordered the entire army to be under martial law. Song Guogong's subordinates and soldiers who were not on duty were to return to the camp immediately to sleep, recharge their energy, and go lightly to monitor the movements of the Beiyuan army.

In the next two days, Zhu Biao cultivated his spirit in situ, and the troops in Beiping City also stuck to the city, and both sides only sent scouts to patrol.

On the third day, Zhu Biao ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and stationed twenty miles away from Beiping City.

The other party sent thousands of Qingqi to harass, but it was just a small fight, and the two sides gave up after chasing each other.

It took another day to set up the camp. Unlike the original perfunctory, Chang Yuchun personally arranged the camp, which can be advanced, attacked, retreated, and defended. There are various traps, and the artillery is also set up.

On the second day after camping, two envoys came from Beiping city, and Zhu Biao met them in the camp of the Chinese army.

Zhu Biao was sitting on the top seat in golden armor, and Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and others stood below. The two people outside were checked and then walked into the big tent.

After the two came in, they glanced at Zhu Biao, then bowed and stroked their chests and shouted, "I've seen Prince Nanming!"

Zhu Biao reached out to stop the generals from drawing their swords. They were just two unknown soldiers, so there was no need to do meaningless things.

Zhu Biao looked at the person on the left with great interest and asked, "Are you Han?"

The man took a step forward and nodded and said: "Under Liu An, the family ancestor lived in the temple when he was Emperor Shizu."

Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "Do you two have anything to say when you come here?"

Liu An bowed and said, "Prince Nanming, please retreat. From now on, the two families will reconcile and each will be safe!"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "I sent my troops on an expedition, and finally came here. I returned to Daming without making an inch of merit. Wouldn't I be ridiculed by others? Why don't I invite the Prince of Beiyuan to come back with me, so I have to give an explanation."

Liu An said without changing his expression: "Your Highness is joking, but what if you don't retreat? The metropolis is indestructible, and you have no chance!"

Zhu Biao leaned back on the chair and replied: "How did you get in? This palace is planning how to get in. You have hidden hands, don't we?"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, his face turned cold: "Throw it out!"

Before he could speak, Nanxiong Hou Zhao Yong grabbed his neck and carried him out.

After they left, everyone was a little puzzled, what exactly was this plotting, it would only hurt both sides, and the final victory must belong to Daming.

Zhu Biao got up and walked to the map of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and said, "They are huddled in Dadu. We have nothing to do, but they don't have many troops in other places!"

Li Wenzhong stepped forward and said: "General, I haven't figured out the enemy's purpose yet, is it risky to divide the troops?"

Zhu Biao shook his head: "There are only so many soldiers and horses in Bei Yuan, what else can they do."

"Song Guogong, in addition to your 50,000 horses, I will add 30,000 people to you. I want you to sweep the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures as quickly as possible!"

Seeing that Song Guogong took the order and left, the others also retreated, and now there are more military affairs, and everyone has their own affairs to arrange.

Zhu Di came back and asked, "Brother, do you not believe in Song Guogong?"

Zhu Biao said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter whether you believe him or not. We need a person to do this job. Song Guogong is the most familiar with this place, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate."
