Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Chapter 118 Surrender to Zhu Kai!

When Tian Baonu heard his father's words, he didn't bother to agree with him. After all, the enemy had appeared in front of the gate. If he made any mistake, the Yuan Dynasty would be destroyed, and he would become the last prince of the Yuan Dynasty, and the prince who would never ascend the throne.

Looking at Toghon Temur again, Tianbaonu was very disdainful. How could a person who only knew how to fish be worthy of the throne of the Yuan Dynasty?
"Father, we should now find a way to wipe out this Ming army instead of just waiting here. Everyone else is fighting desperately, how can we just sit here and wait to die?"

Tian Baonu was very active, "I will go to find the general, we must unite against the enemy and completely destroy it."

After saying that, Tian Baonu also left.

Looking at his son leaving, Toghon Temur was stunned at first, then he laughed: "Go, go... and then we will be destroyed together. How can the Mongols, who are in civil strife, be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty?"

There is no chance at all.

……

Feng Sheng did not reach western Shanxi, and he did not even have time to leave Yanjing.

When he was dispatching troops and preparing to go to western Shanxi, a member of the Imperial Guard came to inform him that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming to the northern border and he should be prepared to welcome him.

Feng Sheng was quite happy to hear the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming. Zhu Yuanzhang is coming, how could that little bastard Zhu Kai still jump?
Feng Sheng was even preparing the lines to complain to Zhu Yuanzhang. If he couldn't make Zhu Kai lie in bed for three days, he would be considered a failure!

However, just as Feng Sheng was happily waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival, he received news about Zhu Kai: Zhu Kai did not move westward along the edge of the grassland as agreed before, but kept moving north and north, and now he has penetrated three hundred miles deep into the heart of the grassland.

Three hundred miles!

Feng Sheng went crazy when he heard the news. He knew that Zhu Kai was an unreliable bastard, but he didn't expect him to be so unreliable. Why did he take those 4,000 people to the heartland of the Mongols? Didn't he know that there were at least 150,000 Mongols on the grassland? Didn't he know that they wouldn't have any reinforcements if they infiltrated 300 miles into the heartland of the grassland?
On one side is Zhu Yuanzhang who is about to arrive, and on the other side is Zhu Kai who is in danger.

Feng Sheng was about to cry. Why did I always encounter such difficult problems?
Is this kid Zhu Kai looking for death?
And...what do those guides eat?
How could they bring Zhu Kai to such a dangerous place? Damn it!

How could Feng Sheng dare to think about going to Zhu Yuanzhang to complain? If Zhu Kai was defeated in the grassland, it would be the end of Feng Sheng.

"What are you waiting for?"

Feng Sheng shouted to the flag soldiers standing at the door: "Beat the drums immediately and raise the tents. Order the whole army to assemble! Exit the pass and head north!"

As Feng Sheng's order was issued, the Ming army in Yanjing and even the entire northern border took action. They had only one target: Zhu Kai.

Of course, when the entire army was dispatched to attack, Feng Sheng did not intend to capture all the Mongols in one fell swoop. He just wanted to protect Zhu Kai.

In order to rescue Zhu Kai and prevent Wang Baobao from becoming desperate, Feng Sheng specifically opened a loophole for the Mongol army to advance westward. He did this to let Wang Baobao go and prevent him from getting involved in the Buir Lake incident.

If Wang Baobao did not want this face and insisted on participating in the battle of Buyuer Lake, Feng Sheng would drag Wang Baobao down with him to be buried with him even if he had to die.

……

Wang Baobao's troops did not move, and he even blocked all external information from the military camp.

All the news the soldiers in the barracks heard came from Wang Baobao.

He used the tactic of adding fuel to the fire again and again to drive out the very few people in the barracks who opposed him.

At this time, Wang Baobao had absolute control over the entire military camp.

Obviously, he succeeded. Wang Baobao took control of the military camp, but he did not give up exploring for news from the outside world. He kept an eye on the Mongol Yuan Dynasty court in Buyuer Lake and Zhu Kai's whereabouts. Naturally, he would not give up tracking Feng Sheng.

When he learned that Feng Sheng had led his entire army northward, Wang Baobao realized that it was time for him to leave.

He brought 150,000 soldiers with him. Excluding those who did not want to leave, he could take away at least 120,000 soldiers. With these 120,000 soldiers, Wang Baobao believed that he could rebuild the world when he reached the Western Regions.

Wang Baobao looked towards Buir Lake and muttered to himself, "Your Majesty, I am not disloyal, but the current Mongol Yuan Dynasty requires us to preserve the flame. My ancestors will not blame me for doing this, right?"

No matter how much you say, it's just an excuse for your betrayal.

Wang Baobao stayed alone in the military tent for half an hour, and finally chose to call Lu Shan: "Lu Shan, help me gather the whole army!"

"Call the troops?"

Lu Shan thought of something and asked subconsciously: "Father, are you going to save the emperor?"

Wang Baobao remained silent, as if he agreed with what Lu Shan said. Lu Shan got anxious at that moment: "Father, if you want to do this, I would rather die in front of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, other adopted sons and military generals came in from outside the military tent one after another. They all knelt in front of Wang Baobao without saying a word, but their attitude was very clear.

If Wang Baobao really wants to rescue Buirhai, they will die in protest!

Wang Baobao sighed, and then said sadly: "Why are you doing this?"

"Father, why are you suffering?"

Lu Shan still looked very angry, and said to Wang Baobao: "Father, His Majesty has been deceived now, why do you bother to curry favor with them? They are not worthy of your loyalty. Father, you want to become Yue Wumu, but we will never agree to it."

Others: “Yes, no!”

"Father, let's go to the Western Regions, to a place further west. We can preserve the flames of the Mongols, and that is also our Mongols' land. Now we need to take the land back."

"The Far West is not bitterly cold. The Grand Commandant and Your Majesty are merely blinded by a single leaf and fail to see the big picture. They have completely misunderstood your good intentions, father."

A group of adopted sons and generals tried to persuade him, but some generals were more straightforward and felt that Wang Baobao should not do this: "Should we rescue His Majesty first, and then take His Majesty away with us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clang, and Lu Shan drew out his sword and stabbed the opponent in the stomach: "Are you going to cut off the inheritance of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty?"

Can a mere foolish emperor be considered the legacy of the Mongols?
"..."

I just asked you guys if we should go and save Toghon Temur, and you guys want to kill me? What the hell is this?
The other generals who wanted to raise objections realized after seeing this scene that they would be killed if they raised objections. Everything here belonged to Wang Baobao... So they chose to shut up and stand in the same camp with Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao refused again and again. Seeing that Lu Shan was about to cut his throat with a knife, he finally stopped Lu Shan and said, "Okay, this time... I will listen to you and go west... Even if I, Wang Baobao, am ridiculed and insulted by the world, I will keep the last spark of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty alive."

He spoke as if he was enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden.

In fact, Wang Baobao knew very well that if he did not go west, the Ming army would definitely not let him go. …

"Damn, it's a bit cold."

At night, Zhu Kai couldn't help muttering while resting.

He had heard that the north was cold, but had never been there.

I didn’t expect that it’s only August and the weather is already so cold that it’s unbearable.

This is fucked.

Zhu Kai believed that he must either find a way to resolve the battle as soon as possible or leave the Far North quickly, otherwise the cold weather would become his biggest enemy.

Although Zhu Kai is warlike, he is not a brainless reckless man. He knows how to achieve the greatest victory while reducing his own casualties.

He wrapped himself in a blanket and prepared to sleep, but at this moment Mao Xiang and Jiang Li came in with the five little tigers of the Zhang family, pulled Zhu Kai up and reported: "Your Highness, I have captured a spy from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, who said he was here to surrender. When we asked him who he was, he refused to tell us, and only told us if we specifically wanted to see you."

Mao Xiang added, "Your Highness, that man has shifty eyes and looks like a bad guy. We must guard against him pretending to surrender."

surrender?

Zhu Kai became interested.

Everyone talks about traitors, but this is the first time I have seen Mongolian traitors.

No matter whether he is pretending to surrender or not, let’s meet him first.

Under the guidance of Mao Xiang and Jiang Li, Zhu Kai met the man. He was five feet tall and had a very strange face, big on top and pointed at the bottom, just like a small carrot head.

Zhu Kai couldn't help but frowned: "You look like this, and you dare to be a lobbyist?"

"I am not a lobbyist. I am here to see the Second Prince on the orders of the Patriarch."

Little Radish Head paid no attention to Zhu Kai's ridicule. Instead, he looked at Zhu Kai calmly and said, "Excuse me, are you the Second Prince?"

Without waiting for Zhu Kai to answer, the little carrot-head asked and answered himself: "I think so. It is said that you are eight feet tall, with a body like a bear. No one in the world can match you. You are the most powerful prince in my heart!"

After saying that, the little carrot-head bowed and said, "I'm called Dice, I don't have a name or surname. The owner saved me outside the gambling house. Because I had a dice in my hand, I've always been called Dice."

Zhu Kai really likes to hear people flatter him. In addition, the little carrot head looks very strange, speaks neatly, and is also a first-class flatterer. Zhu Kai also became interested and looked around with raised eyebrows: "See, even if others don't know me, they will know who I am when they see me."

Zhu Kai's bear-like body is like a walking postcard!
Mao Xiang and Jiang Li knew Zhu Kai too well. Seeing Zhu Kai so happy, they couldn't bear to dampen his interest. They just stood aside to protect Zhu Kai and did not participate in his interrogation.

After Zhu Kai was proud, he looked at the little carrot head kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, just say whatever you want to say, don't make me guess riddles."

"I have long heard that the Second Prince is a man of quick words and the greatest hero in the world. Today I see that he is indeed extraordinary. This is the first time I have ever seen a noble person like you, Your Highness, in my entire life."

As usual, he flattered the emperor first, and then told Zhu Kai his purpose: "Your Highness, I am a servant of Liu Yi, the Minister of Liaoshen. I came to see Your Highness today because I want to surrender to you. As long as you sincerely accept us, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liaoshen will all be under your command."

After that, Die ended with some flattery: "Your Highness may be suspicious and wonder why we didn't surrender to Feng Sheng, but came to you instead... The reason is very simple. My family master has seen your bravery, but it's a pity that he couldn't go there at that time, otherwise he would have become your disciple long ago. Later, the family master heard a lot of stories about you and knew that you are kind-hearted. The grassland tribes you took away are living very well in Daming. I know that you are the only master who cares about us the most, so we want to surrender to you, and hope that Your Highness the Second Prince can accept us."

Liu Yi?

Zhu Kai had heard of the name. He didn't have any special abilities, but he was good at defending a city. Otherwise, the border troops of the Ming Dynasty would have conquered Liaoshen long ago and taken it back as a military achievement.

"Liu Yi does have some ability, but not much. However, he has a good vision."

Zhu Kai believed that the person who sent someone like Dice as a lobbyist must have high emotional intelligence, which just hit his weak spot.

Touching his chin, Zhu Kai said to the dice, "Okay, go back and tell Liu Yi...help me capture Toghon Temur, and I will consider him surrendering."

"Really?"

Di Zi's eyes widened, and he said in great surprise, "Our master said that if Your Highness asks to capture Toghon Temur, you don't need to let me go back. I will stay by your side, and the Mongol army will be defeated by the master... Then the master will give the barbarian's head as a gift to Your Highness, and then you and I will join forces and enter Buir Lake in one fell swoop, and Toghon Temur will be easily captured."

"Ok?"

Zhu Kai looked at the dice again.

So, does this mean that Liu Yi has already thought about using Toghon Temur to negotiate conditions?

This Liu Yi is truly a master who hides his true abilities.

interesting.

"it is good!"

Zhu Kai agreed again, "Let's attack together and meet again at Bui'er Lake! Mao Xiang, you take the dice and rest, so that the army can have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to march north."

"As ordered!"

Mao Xiang obeyed the order, grabbed Di Zi's clothes and lifted him up. Di Zi was not embarrassed, and he did not forget to salute Zhu Kai when he was lifted up: "Your Highness, take a good rest. We will see you tomorrow."

"What did Liu Yi do before?"

Zhu Kai was very curious. Even Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen could not include himself in every step, but Liu Yi did it. This made Zhu Kai interested and he wanted to know more about this person. Could he be a great god who was lost in the long river of history?

Zhu Kai felt that this might be the case. After all, thousands of years of history had left behind only books that could not fill up a container. It was hard to say how many talented people had been missed.

Jiang Li also shook his head, indicating that he did not pay much attention to this person: "I only know that he is the Minister of Liaoshen, and the top scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, but I can't remember which dynasty... I have done a bad job, please punish me, Your Highness."

Zhu Kai kicked him on the calf: "Alright, we are discussing things here, can you not be so disgusting? If you don't understand, then don't understand. Why punish me? Do you think you are Zhuge Kongming in the world and can predict everything in advance?"

Jiang Li did not continue to blame or anything like that, but followed Zhu Kai's words and continued: "Your Highness, if Liu Yi is really a capable person, we can also use him, hehe... I am a rough guy, and I can't be considered the reincarnation of Kong Ming, but Liu Yi can predict your thoughts, Your Highness, it seems that Your Highness should accept a Kong Ming as your own counselor."
