After Fu Youde and Tang He conquered Sichuan, Mingsheng was escorted by Tang He to respond to Tian.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill this surrendered soldier, but gave him an official position and gave him a title called: Marquis of Guiyi.

The land of appreciation is near Nanjing.

Putting him in Nanjing is somewhat of a sign of preventing him from leaving, but it is also worthy of happiness for Mingsheng. After all, he was a deserter who was not killed and got an official job, which should be considered a blessing in disgrace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was considered to have done his best to Mingsheng.

After solving Mingsheng's problem, Zhu Yuanzhang began to turn his attention to another place.

For other small places that have not yet been settled, this is the eternal pain in his heart.

It is even more of his biggest concern.

Their existence is like inserting a sword of Damocles on his head. As long as he doesn't pay attention to the other party coming on his forehead, his life will be completely over.

If they are not completely lifted, I will never fall asleep peacefully.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had pacified most of the south, finally made up his mind that he would completely solve this problem this time.

His name is: Beiyuan.

Their coach has two really great characters.

One is called: Ayushiridala (Ashou),

Another one is called: Wang Baobao (Kukuo Timur).

The two of them are colleagues, they are both monarchs and ministers, and they are close comrades-in-arms.

Since A Shou became the crown prince, Wang Baobao has followed him, and has never stopped until now.

The place they occupied at this time was located in the north, with a vast land and a tough personality. They had a terrifying hobby, slaughtering the city.

Once the city is broken, there will be no people and animals left, and no chickens and dogs left.

This is also the reason that the people gave them a terrible title.

Grassland wolf.

Since Wang Baobao fled from northern Gansu and met with A Shou, they have only done one thing.

Expand the membership.

In order to increase their troops as quickly as possible, they tried every means, whether it was violence or abducted.

Soon their troops expanded to 100,000.

At this time, A Shou, who felt his waist harder again, decided not to sit and wait for death. He had been in the grassland for more than a year and decided to take the initiative.

This time, A Shou, who had learned his lesson, did not take the stupid method of going straight to Peking last time, but instead focused on the northern frontier.

He wanted to use this place to practice his hands first.

Experience the new recruits under your command.

These new recruits who screamed all day long and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and promote the might of our grassland wolf. Most of them were deceived by cheating. Many of them had never been to the battlefield and had no idea of ​​the cruelty of the battlefield.

Letting these new recruits go straight into Peiping, which has tight defense, is undoubtedly suicide.

For their safety and for their grand revenge, it is better to experience them first.

So they took care of Zhu Yuanzhang's business every now and then, either fighting against Zhu Yuanzhang's autumn wind or visiting Zhu Yuanzhang's place.

In short, I have a hard time living, and you, Monk Zhu, don’t think it’s easy.

But they didn't know that they thought they were just making small fuss and couldn't catch Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at all. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Nanjing, had already set his sights on them.

And I began to plan a detailed plan in my heart.

In the first month of the fifth year of Hongwu (1372 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang, who could not bear it anymore, issued the Emperor's Order No. 001 this year.

The second Northern Expedition begins.

Target: Northern Yuan.

Mission: A Shou, Wang Baobao.

Purpose: To completely eradicate.

In order to completely eradicate this stubborn disease, Zhu Yuanzhang chose Xu Da, who had already dealt with Wang Baobao several times.

After the combat mission was determined, Zhu Yuanzhang must have had a conversation with Xu Da.

Asking for things is similar to home-related matters.

For example, brother, how are you doing recently? How is your daughter Nian Fang? If you can get married, just marry me. If you like my son's single dog, I will let him marry whoever you want. Your mother has improved asthma recently, and other nonsense such as nutritional nonsense.

I will definitely not forget to enhance my feelings. I will say: I will bother you again this Northern Expedition. If you are capable, you should take care of it more.

After the relationship was almost close, I asked Xu Da how many people needed for this northern expedition [how many soldiers are needed to fight]?

Xu Da’s reply is enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

One hundred thousand is too little, I will give you 150,000.

At first, Xu Da was afraid that the boss who had always been stingy would not criticize him. Unexpectedly, not only did he not have less, but he also added 50,000 yuan, which must be happy for him.

From the conversation between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang, the sharp-eyed people had already heard a different smell.

Xu Da's words mean more or less underestimating the enemy.

Maybe he wants to be Han Xin this time, or he wants to be his old partner Chang Yuchun who has died of illness.

He also wanted to taste the taste of a hundred thousand soldiers rampant in the world.

But often the main general and the powerful general are not completely equal.

Xu Da will understand this soon.

Perhaps he discovered that Xu Da was underestimating the enemy, and Liu Ji, who was the same trench, said: Expansion should not be underestimated.

As it turns out, Liu Ji's warning is correct.

Liu Ji, who had never fought head-on with Wang Baobao, once again confirmed his almost magical prophecy.

Unfortunately, Liu Ji's warning was not adopted by Xu Da.

Perhaps in Xu Da's opinion, Liu Ji, who has never been able to talk about war on paper and can't lead troops to fight, is simply a waste of being strong outside and doing things on the inside.

He doesn't have to care about his words.

What Xu Da wouldn't know is that Liu Ji's seemingly casual words just point the key points.

He will suffer soon.

After confirming that Xu Da was the main general, Zhu Yuanzhang told everyone the action plan he had formulated.

He first divided the 150,000 troops into three parts and handed them over to the three commanders. They were Xu Da, as the general of the conquering general, and rushed to attack Helin from the middle of Yanmen Pass in Shanxi (verbally became urgent soldiers, but in fact, this was a bit shook A Shou, and their speed was actually the slowest among the three armies).

The East Road was led by Duke Cao Li Wenzhong as the left deputy general, and he went out to Juyongguan and attacked Helin through Yingchang Prefecture.

The last Western Route Army was sent out of Jinlan to attack the Gansu area with Duke Feng Sheng of Song as the right deputy general, and as a suspect soldier, he lured the Northern Yuan army to disperse its troops.

The three men led 50,000 troops respectively and attacked Ashou in three groups.

Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of confidence in the face of these 150,000 soldiers. Since joining the army, he has never wanted to kill anyone so urgently.

Whether it is Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, they were killed by themselves step by step. Only this A Shou, or the real protagonist Wang Baobao behind him, is the real thorn in his eyes.

This time, so many people were recruited, and all of them were elite soldiers. Everyone was a veteran who had climbed out of blood and piled up dead people. All of them were experienced in many battles. I believe that relying on their strength could completely eliminate the hidden dangers of constantly harassing the northern border.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, three armies set out one after another.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang would not have thought was that this Northern Expedition almost made him capsized in the gutter.

This is a truly miserable war.

Three defeats and two defeats can be said to have won consecutive prizes.

The first winner was Xu Da’s Central Army.

In order to cooperate with Xu Da's battle, Zhu Yuanzhang first assigned him an assistant when he set out.

This person's name is: Lan Yu (everyone remember this name, this guy is a great man in terms of his origin and military achievements).
