His Majesty, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, issued an order to the civil and military officials of the capital to assemble troops and horses to regain the capital in one go.
After the decree was issued, I felt something was wrong.
He had been beaten to pieces just now, but within two months, he was full of energy and ready to counterattack.
If it was really that easy, why give up on Dadu in the first place?
Therefore, Taiwei Wan, as well as the envoy Guanyinnu and others, all gave hard advice to Tieguo, telling him not to act rashly, so as not to be fooled by the Ming army, which would lead to the entire army being annihilated and the success lost.
Taiwei Wanzhe simply made a suggestion, "Your Majesty, I think we should retreat to Helin. It is the place where the Great Yuan Dynasty flourished. It is far away from the Ming army. It is surrounded by Mongolian tribes and people's hearts are stable. Your Majesty, you can stay in Helin.
Recovering your vitality slowly, accumulating strength, and then trying to recover is the right path!"
After this person finished speaking, he immediately received the approval of many ministers.
But when these words came to the ears of several powerful people, it was like a bolt from the blue.
The Crown Prince was the first to cry and said: "Father, I have rushed to Shangdu from Dadu, and fled to Helin from Shangdu. When did you become the boss of blindly running away? Is it possible that there is no hope of recovery of Dayuan? I am unwilling to give in!"
Pu Buhua didn't even want to stay in Kai Pingcheng. If he asked him to go to Helin, it would be better to kill him.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is weak and cannot survive. If we rush to Helin now, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Helin and will die of illness on the way. I hope your Majesty will have mercy on you!"
The Iron Pot Emperor was naturally not willing to go to Helin. In addition to suffering, there was also another layer. In the Yuan Dynasty, clan troubles were commonplace. Now he had almost nothing. Going to Helin alone would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, which was absolutely unacceptable.
While he was thinking about it, Queen Qi ran in from outside. She was crying. As soon as she came in, she shouted, "Your Majesty, there is a traitor again! They want to send our family to be rewarded and to build a great empire again."
Emperor Yuan! Your Majesty, please don’t be fooled!”
When the Iron Pot Emperor heard this, he immediately glared at Wanzhe and the others.
"The queen said you were rebelling, what are your intentions?"
The person who finished was almost ready to cry without tears, "Your Majesty, I have a sincere heart, and my loyalty can be measured by the sun and the moon!"
Before he could finish speaking, Pu Buhua, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said: "The sun and the moon are clear words. You have the clear words in your heart. You are really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
This sentence alone shows Pu Buhua's temperament like a venomous snake. One bite will penetrate three parts of his body.
When Wan Zhe heard this, he was greatly surprised, and then became furious. To be honest, he had long been dissatisfied with Pu Buhua. This dead eunuch fanned the wind and started the fire, causing trouble in Chao Gang. Dayuan was brought to this day by them, and he was still alive.
Heart, continue to do evil and harm others.
Wan Zhe said angrily: "Your Majesty! Pu Buhua is just a servant from Goryeo. He is like an ant or a mosquito. He can only serve as a slave to me, Yuan Dynasty. But to let him discuss the government affairs and frame the loyal people of the court is really harmful.
Prime Minister Tuotuo died in his hands, and this poisonous snake deserved his death!"
When the finisher said this, he really wanted to pounce on him and kill Pu Buhua.
Killing people in front of the emperor and beating traitors were not just the exclusive domain of Confucian scholars. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more common for people to draw their swords in anger and spill blood three feet away.
However, this time Wan Zhe mentioned Tuo Tuo, which made Tie Guo furious.
"Huh! Tuotuo may not be a treacherous minister, but his younger brother also deceived the country before Timur, and surrendered the enemy later! The crime cannot be punished, how dare you speak for him!"
Wan Zhe was frightened by these words, while Pu Buhua took the opportunity to run back quickly, slipped out of the imperial tent, looked for his cronies, and protected his own life.
Then he went to Lan Yu's place under the protection of several people.
There is no way, what he cares about most these days is the line of Lan Yu, and he has invested the most energy, so there will be no problem...
In the imperial tent, the Iron Pot Emperor talked eloquently, "Don't be frightened by the red thieves. The customs in Dadu are different from those in the south of the Yangtze River. They originated from the south of the Yangtze River, but they can't gain a foothold in the north. Now there are powerful people from all over the country.
Raising the pole, the heroes of the world are looking up eagerly, waiting for the arrival of my Great Yuan King Master, all the heroes will rise together to drive away the red thieves and restore the Great Yuan."
After talking about this, the Iron Pot Emperor's face lit up.
He was in high spirits and excited, "Don't worry, I, the Yuan Dynasty, will definitely win this battle. When I return to Dadu again, I will definitely change my mind and reorganize the government. We, the monarchs and ministers, are of one heart and one mind, will start from scratch, and revitalize the Yuan Dynasty, and we will do our part!"
"
The Iron Pot Emperor repeatedly promised that in the face of this situation, these officials could not say anything. They felt that the problem was not small, but they could not speak out.
Finally, the Prime Minister Yesu, Taiwei Wanzhe, and other generals discussed together and they formulated a foolproof strategy.
First, an order was given to Wang Baobao, asking him to lead his troops north immediately and to guard against the Ming army attacking Shanxi. Then he ordered the Yuan army in Liaodong to send troops south to attack the Ming army in western Liaoning.
These two groups are facing each other tit for tat. They don't expect to win. They just want to hold back the main force of the Ming army, and then they will take advantage of it. Even if they don't win, they can still scare the Ming army and regain some face.
The ministers think this is quite reliable.
And in order to ensure safety, the Prime Minister also quickly proposed that he should lead the troops in front. If everything goes well, he would then welcome His Majesty to go south.
Iron Pot also agreed, but suddenly, Iron Pot changed his mind.
Don't say anything else. Zhu Yuanzhang can win because he often leads the army and fights in person, so the soldiers use their lives and are always invincible. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is going south and Yuan Dynasty is sending troops, the emperor should be in front, so that he can be invincible.
Needless to say, it was Pu Buhua who came up with the idea for the iron pot. It goes without saying who he got the inspiration from.
In fact, Lan Yu's suggestion was to let the prince supervise the division, but Pu Buhua thought that the prince was not as good as the emperor, so he said nothing and it would be best to let all members of the family take action.
It also avoids trouble. Otherwise, after conquering Dadu, we still have to welcome the emperor back to Dadu. Wouldn't this be a waste of people and money?
Anyway, he didn't want to stay in Xanadu for a moment.
Good guy, Lan Yu is speechless. I often seem out of place with you bunch of insects because I am not ruthless enough.
To this day, Lan Yu is most worried about one thing: will truthfully recording the outrageous operations of these gangsters affect his achievements?
After all, tit-for-tat is the story. Bullying a group of fools is really meaningless.
However, Lan Yu soon gave up this idea. In order to regain the capital, the Iron Pot Emperor really made great efforts. He gathered all the soldiers and horses in Xanadu, with Prime Minister Yesu as the vanguard, and marched southward.
He personally led the important officials of the clan, including the crown prince, the queen, and the dead eunuch Pu Buhua. It could be said that he brought out all the best. The whole family was sent out, and without hesitation, they were escorted.
Such a large piece of fat meat can hardly be said to be full of oil and water. It is like sending an oil depot to Ming Dynasty. Is there any reason not to accept it?
In order to show his loyalty, Lan Yu put on his strong will and followed Pu Buhua, which moved the dead eunuch to death.
"Don't worry, as soon as you return to Dadu, I will definitely give you a big official title, give you a wife, a wife, wealth, and endless enjoyment."
Lan Yu nodded sternly, "I listen to my father-in-law. As long as I return to Dadu, I will definitely have everything I want!"
It was obvious that Pu Buhua did not understand what Lan Yu meant, and because Lan Yu was young, he did not have many opportunities to show his face. Yuan Jun took it seriously, and almost no one knew him.
In addition, he carefully disguised himself and followed Pu Buhua in a grand manner. By the way, he was not far from the Iron Pot Emperor's family.
Finally, the army marched south, and the emperor's family was smiling and laughing. They all looked forward to the happy life after returning to the capital. In their excitement, they actually began to award meritorious officials.
They were like this, and the Ming army was also dumbfounded. Chang Yuchun, who was in western Liaoning, never expected that they could be so relaxed!
Now as long as the army is sent to kill Xiangdu, it is very likely that the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty will be wiped out in one fell swoop, making an unparalleled contribution.
But just when Chang Yuchun was almost impatient to take action, something suddenly occurred to him. He silently called Li Wenzhong, awarded Li Wenzhong 50,000 elite troops, and asked him to set off from Daning City and attack Xanadu immediately.
Chang Yuchun, on the other hand, led his troops northward to stabilize the Yuan army in Liaodong.
Li Wenzhong was naturally bursting with gratitude, and at the same time his blood was boiling. He finally had the opportunity to lead the army, and it was such a big battle. He had to win it no matter what!
Li Wenzhong led his troops galloping towards the west.
Even faster than him was Zhu Wenzheng. Xu Da handed Hua Yun's nearly ten thousand cavalry directly to Zhu Wenzheng's jurisdiction. At the same time, he also took out a group of people from the original Red Scarf Army and handed them over to Zhu Wenzheng to act as guides.
As a veteran general in the army and a cavalry commander, this was the first time Hua Yun encountered such an embarrassing situation.
Naturally, he was dissatisfied and went to Xu Da to argue, but Xu Da scolded him and kicked him out.
Based on your current virtue of drinking three meals a day and wandering around the lake all day long, if you are asked to command the cavalry, can you achieve it on time?
The prohibition on alcohol has been lifted, so we drink wine as if it were water. Do you want to make up for all the less you drink?
Hua Yun also wanted to argue, "It's bitterly cold in the north, so we can't live without wine."
"Humph! Can't leave? I thought you were strong and not afraid of the cold!" Xu Da sneered: "Don't say anything. Why don't you go to the martial arts field and let's gesticulate and see if you can win me?"
?”
Hua Yun was stunned and speechless.
Zhu Wenzheng finally successfully led his troops out. Each of them was equipped with three fast horses, as fast as meteors, and their long swords were unsheathed. From the direction of Xuande Mansion, they rushed straight up to Kaiping.
Naturally, the Yuan Dynasty had no need to build a Great Wall defense line, and the roads leading to Xanadu were all smooth.
Zhu Wenzheng used a small group of cavalry to explore, and a large group of cavalry outflanked him. He eliminated more than a dozen groups of Yuan troops, large and small, along the way. The troops marched straight in.
On the ninth day of departure, we finally arrived outside Kaiping City.
At this moment, Xanadu is already very empty, and Iron Pot has led his cronies southward.
Zhu Wenzheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered to seize Shangdu and cut off the return route. Then he led the main force to follow the footsteps of the Yuan army and kill them.
Almost at the same time, Li Wenzhong's forward scouts also discovered the Yuan army, and also learned that Emperor Yuan and the Crown Prince were in the army. At this moment, Li Wenzhong's blood was boiling.
"Send the order and attack immediately! Remember, don't hurt the iron pot, you have to capture them alive!" Li Wenzhong reminded loudly.
