When Zhu Biao closed his eyes and rested his mind, Liu Jin led a group of palace maids in and walked in with food boxes in their hands. Courses of delicacies that were full of color, flavor and taste were placed in front of Zhu Biao.
Liu Jin looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was concentrating with his eyes closed and said, "Sir, it's time to eat."
Zhu Biao actually didn't have much appetite, but since his body was still growing, he was always hungry, so he managed to cheer up and have dinner.
Zhu Biao walked to the bed in confusion and lay down on the bed.
Yun Jin, who was warming the bed inside, called in a low voice several times, but Zhu Biao didn't have the energy to reply.
After sleeping until dawn the next day, Zhu Biao felt energetic again. Youth is his capital.
After washing up, Zhu Biao went to the Wenhua Palace to study the situation in Yanyun. Now the remaining forces in the sixteen states totaled more than 200,000 people, but there were not many scattered across the sixteen states.
Moreover, all the members of the Yuan Dynasty royal family led by Borjijin Tuohuan Tiemuer retreated to the grassland. There was no commander in charge of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, so the possibility of them gathering a crowd to resist was very low.
After analyzing all the conditions, Zhu Biao finally had a complete plan in mind.
In fact, all these can be left to Liu Bowen and Chang Yuchun. If they even arrange the battle, it will be better than Zhu Biao's.
But that loses the meaning of Zhu Biao's planning for so long. His expedition this time was not only to regain the merits of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but more importantly, to show his abilities to the military generals and make those arrogant soldiers brave. You will know that His Royal Highness knows military matters!
Zhu Biao has been raising his reputation for ten years, and with the cooperation of Song Lian and other great scholars, he has long had a good reputation in the hearts of scholars all over the world. This may not be reflected now, but it does not mean that it does not exist.
Zhu Biao wanted to make up for his last shortcoming this time and lay the foundation for subduing the Xungui Group in the future.
So yesterday, Chang Yuchun and Liu Bowen just watched him arrange matters. Unless Zhu Biao asked, they would never interfere!
Zhu Biao thought silently for another half an hour, making sure to make sure nothing went wrong.
Liu Jin walked in holding a warm handkerchief and said to Zhu Biao: "Sir, King Kaiping and Uncle Chengyi have arrived. Do you want to invite them in?"
Zhu Biao took it and wiped his face, cheered up and said: "Please come in, we will make tribute tea later!"
Liu Jin accepted the promise and left. Zhu Biao leaned on the chair and pinched his face, then waited for Chang Yuchun and others to come in.
As a result, the three Zhu brothers who were the first to come in were stunned. The second brother said with a smile: "Brother, we met Uncle Chang and the others when we arrived, so we came in with them."
The third child tugged on his sleeve, and then bowed together with Chang Yuchun and others, "I have met the Crown Prince, Your Highness Qianqiu!"
Zhu Biao nodded with a smile, raised his hand to support her slightly, and said, "Excuse me! Everyone, sit down."
Then he looked at the three brothers and asked: "Why are you three here again? You don't think the scolding you received yesterday was bad enough!"
The second child took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and sent it to Zhu Biao and said, "My father sent someone to deliver this this morning. He ordered us to hand it over to the prince. Brother, we haven't even seen it!"
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Since I asked you to leave it to me, my father has no intention of hiding it from you."
He reached out and opened the letter, and there were two lines inside: "Let the second and third sons learn from you for a few days, and wait until they go to Shandong with Xu Da in the second half of the year. The fourth brother will follow you north, and they must be strictly controlled!"
After Zhu Biao saw it, he said directly: "My father's intention is that you, the second and third sons, will follow me first, and then fight Uncle Xu in the second half of the year to fight Wang Baobao. The fourth son will follow me north and ask me to strictly restrain you."
Chang Yuchun said: "Commander Xu leads the troops as steadily as Mount Tai, and your two highnesses can learn a lot from following him. I would like to congratulate your two highnesses!"
Lan Yu and others also congratulated.
The three brothers were all smiling, but they were still young, so the surprise on their faces could not be hidden from these people.
Especially Zhu Di, who is already engaged to the Xu family, but this time he is not following his father-in-law. This is obviously because his father does not want him to have too much contact with the Xu family.
Zhu Biao glanced at his brothers with different expressions and ignored them, asking Lan Yu and others to report on the matters arranged yesterday.
Lan Yu's inspection is only half way through, and there are no problems so far. After all, the prince is leading the army, and no one dares to deduct military supplies from the prince.
The Marquis of Ji'an cooperated with officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to collect nearly 100,000 horses and 50,000 camels as camels for transporting grain and grass.
Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen had already led a thousand Qingqi to reconnoiter the route yesterday.
Zhu Biao arranged for the remaining generals to manage the army stationed outside the city.
It takes time to assemble the army. At present, nearly 30,000 people have arrived from all over the country, and more than 100,000 are on the way. The remaining 100,000 are waiting in Shuntian Mansion.
Then he talked with them about the transportation of the army's baggage. After about an hour, Zhu Biao saw that it was almost done and served tea to see off the guests.
After they all left, Zhu Biao glanced at his brothers who were already a little confused, and said with a smile: "How about it, isn't fighting interesting?"
The second prince Zhu Xi shook his head and said: "Brother, I have been listening for an hour and I haven't heard you say anything about how to fight. It's all just messy trivial matters!"
The third prince Zhu Fan also said: "That's right, just leave these to the people below. We are responsible for killing the enemy and breaking the army on the battlefield, and attacking the city and setting up the stronghold."
Only Zhu Di looked thoughtful, while Zhu Biaoyou shook his head and said: "The war is about logistics and armaments. If there is no food and grass, 300,000 people will mutiny after being hungry for three days. What kind of war will you fight then?"
?”
Zhu Biao said to his brothers: "It's not the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty anymore. Personal bravery has little impact on the army. If you want to be independent in the future, you must learn to manage these things. Otherwise, you will only be a vanguard for the rest of your life."
The second child and the third child looked at each other and felt like they were crying. They originally disliked the trouble of studying, so they thought of wielding swords and guns. Unexpectedly, they still have to learn those things now, and it is even more troublesome!
Zhu Biao said unscrupulously: "You saw my father's face yesterday. If you are still lazy and if my father finds out, then my brother will not be able to save you!"
Seeing two reluctant and one energetic young boy, Zhu Biao was also very happy. It was rare for someone to come willingly to suffer.
He told them to go to Lan Yu to check the supplies now, and to stay at the camp outside the city for two days tomorrow to learn flag orders from the soldiers, so that they would not even be able to understand the orders on the battlefield.
After seeing them off, it was already noon. Zhu Biao sent someone to report and then walked to Kunning Palace.
It has been several days since he visited his mother. With the arrival of the army, he will definitely become busier and busier. He might as well go and visit his mother while he is still free.
