Zhu Xiongying, the direct grandson of the Ming Dynasty, bombarded Yingtian Mansion at the beginning

In Prince Yan's palace, the first meeting between Zhu Di and Zhu Xiongying after their return was taking place.

Just as the two were testing each other, Zhu Yu, a general under King Yan, asked for a meeting outside.

After getting permission, Zhu Yu entered the hall, saluted all parties, and then said:"His Royal Highness, King Yan, your Majesty led 2,000 Qingqi to search north along the Xuan Mansion, but no trace of the enemy was found." After hearing this, Zhu Xiongying touched Looking at his forehead, he said doubtfully:"That shouldn't be the case. Since they have grabbed the food and grass, their marching speed must not be as fast as your Qingqi's. Why can't they track them?"

Zhu Yu replied:"Back to the general, this time the southern invaders did not grab it. How much food and grass?"

Zhu Xiongying muttered,"Didn't they grab food and grass? What was their purpose this time? Did they come here to go shopping?"

Zhu Di took over and said,"At first I thought they were here for food and grass, but what they did was The looted food and grass were probably not enough to consume the thousands of cavalry this time.

They did not bring any baggage, but they formed a formation under the Xuanfu city, surrounded them without fighting, and after half a day, they all retreated."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiongying said:"Then This is interesting! If it was for the purpose of feinting to attack, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so hasty!"

Zhu Yu said again:"I just came back from Biaoxia and received news from Datong Mansion. It was the same situation. If they don't fight, they will all retreat after half a day."

Zhu Di walked to the map, stared at it for a long time, and said,"I still don't understand what they want! If they want to plunder food and grass, they should be attacked in small groups in shifts, but Nowadays, thousands of light cavalry surround us without fighting."

Zhu Xiongying also looked puzzled and said:"The reason for not grabbing too much food and grass must be to facilitate the march and prevent us from being chased. It is not for food and grass. The same is true for Datong. , I can’t figure it out."

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment and guessed:"Is it to test our attitude? After spring, do you want to get closer to grazing?"

Lan Yu vetoed this statement:"No, if this is the idea, they will directly Just send envoys, don't you think the beatings are not enough with all the swords and swords?"

Lan Yu is right, because since the Battle of Yuerhai, although there are still armed forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty that have not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they have been With constant internal strife, there should be no time to go south and invade the border.

Zhu Xiongying recalled his little historical knowledge. In his impression, since Yuerhai, it was Emperor Yongle who made another expedition to the north.

After the Battle of Yuerhai, there should be no more wars! Of course, he wasn't sure.

What's more, there is no such thing as him in history! Regardless of how much impact his appearance had on this history, at least Lan Yu was not dead.

Zhu Xiongying lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked aloud:"Are you sure that the opponent is indeed the Beiyuan Cavalry?"

Zhu Yu hesitated at this time:"According to the battle report, it is said that the weapons and clothing are all Beiyuan. There should be...no mistakes."

The officers and soldiers guarding the border in the north had fought with Bei Yuan countless times, large and small, and they could tell at a glance that Bei Yuan's attire and weapons were correct.

Zhu Xiongying asked again:"Since it was surrounded, didn't Xuanfu fight back?"

Before Zhu Yu could speak, Zhu Di said first:"The opponent is far away, not within the range of the archers, and they are all cavalry. The best policy is for us to stick to the city."

Zhu Xiongying said:"In this case, the other party obviously does not want to fight with us! They really just came here to go shopping."

After speaking, he turned to Zhu Yu and asked:"General, in this pursuit, you What are the main directions?"

Zhu Yu answered truthfully:"The two directions are north and west."

"What about the east side?"

"To the east are the three guards of Duoyan, who have surrendered long ago. It is impossible for them to go that way. It's a dead end from that way! Zhu

Xiongying took a few steps back and forth and continued to ask:"Where did the cavalry that harassed Datong retreat to?"

Zhu Yu replied:"According to the news, we are retreating to the northwest.""

Zhu Xiongying walked to the map, raised his hand and drew a mark above Xuanfu and Datong. While drawing, he said:"The encounters between the two mansions were the same. Could it be the same group of soldiers?

Zhu Di nodded and said:"It seems that it must be so." Zhu

Xiongying drew a circle in the northwest of Xuan Mansion with his hand and said:"General Zhu Yu found no trace of the enemy here, but now, he has appeared in Datong again.""

As he spoke, he pointed at Datong with his finger, then drew a circle northwest of Datong, and said:"At this time, it is retreating to the northwest again! Zhu

Di looked to the northwest of Datong and said:"Nowadays, there are constant internal strife among various forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Could it be that this cavalry comes from Chagatai in the East?""

Lanyu answered:"If Eastern Chagatai wants to invade our border, why do you want to go far away and go around to Xuanfu?

Zhu Xiongying guessed:"Is it to divert trouble to the east?" Do you want us to send troops to Beiyuan, and they will reap the benefits?"

Zhu Di rejected both his own statement and Zhu Xiongying's statement, saying:"It's not Dongchagatai. Dongchagatai is a long way away. You wouldn't dare to come to such a far place without bringing a lot of food and grass. If With the provisions and baggage, Zhu Yu Qingqi will definitely be able to find the traces."

The four of them fell silent while looking at the map.

The confrontation between the two armies is not scary. What is scary is not knowing who the enemy is and where the enemy is.

But this is the situation now.

Zhu Xiongying believed in the information provided by Zhu Di. Because he had no reason to deceive himself.

But now that all the information was brought together, it was even more confusing.

According to Zhu Xiongying's expectation, the other party was just out of food after the cold winter, so he had no choice but to go south to plunder, and the Qingqi under his command was better than normal. The speed of Qingqi is much faster.

Although the journey is far away, it is still possible to catch up with a group of soldiers and horses carrying a large amount of food and grass.

But now, they have not grabbed it at all! Zhu Yu's Qingqi set off at that time, but they could not Find the shadow of the other party. What's more, more than ten days have passed!

Zhu Xiongying said to himself:"If it's not for food and grass, then what is it for?"
