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

Chapter 85 Zhu Kai, you have no moral principles!
Zhu Kai didn't know that the commander of the Mongol army outside was Wang Baobao, but this did not affect Zhu Kai's use of Wang Baobao's name to boost morale.

Riding on a horse, Zhu Kai rode at the front of the team. He was not going to make any long speeches: "Brothers, Wang Baobao is still determined to destroy me. He even sent ten times more troops than me to launch a surprise attack. If he can't defeat me, he will run away! Brothers, can we accept it?"

"Can't! Can't! Can't!"

The soldiers had just seen the scene of reaping the Mongol army in large numbers, and their blood was already boiling. They wished they could pick up their guns and mount their horses to kill the enemies one by one!
"Okay, brothers, come with me and kill that kid Wang Baobao!"

After Zhu Kai finished speaking, he jumped on his horse, held his spear in his hand, and rushed out of the camp at the front of the 3,000 Beijing troops to chase and kill Wang Baobao's army.

It is very simple to identify the enemy's main force. The Mongols from all directions who besieged Zhu Kai's camp all gathered towards one place when they retreated. There is no doubt... the place where they gathered was where the main force of the Mongols was.

There must be big fish in there!

Even if it wasn't Wang Baobao, it could be other high-ranking Mongol officials.

Based on the principle that winning is gaining, Zhu Kai ordered a pursuit.

As for what other waves the enemy could cause, Zhu Kai found it unlikely.

Of the 20,000 troops, more than 7,000 were killed when they just charged the camp. The remaining soldiers were already scared out of their wits. What else could they resist?
Zhangzhou still has twenty M4s in his hands. Just these twenty weapons can instantly wipe out the Mongols' rebellious thoughts!

……

Zhu Kai guessed correctly.

These Mongol cavalrymen thought themselves invincible and unparalleled in attack power. However, they were held back less than fifty steps away from the Ming army camp and could not move forward at all. They were naturally frustrated. What's more, it was not the Ming's bravery that defeated them, but some unorthodox methods used by the Ming!
How could the Ming Dynasty, a mere state, possibly be a match for the Mongol cavalry?

Now, Zhu Kai led his troops to rush out to hunt them down. The Mongols, who were already unwilling to accept the result, seemed to see hope for revenge and prepared to fight again.

You have all chased them out, there can't be any unconventional methods that can kill people without them being seen, right?

"Your Majesty, that kid Zhu Kai has caught up with us!"

Saihazhi, who was already very dissatisfied with the retreat, saw Zhu Kai chasing and immediately asked Wang Baobao: "Your Majesty, please give an order and allow me to lead the troops to charge!"

Wang Baobao immediately said, "Give you five thousand elite cavalry to guard the rear!"

It’s not that Wang Baobao wanted to agree to Sehazhi, but he didn’t want to see his subordinates disobeying his orders.

Zhu Kai is not a simple character. We cannot underestimate him just because he is young. Zhu Kai dared to show up in Gulu Grassland in a high-profile manner even though he knew he was being lured. This in itself shows that Zhu Kai is bold and careful.

How could such an opponent be a simple character?

He is sending troops to pursue us now, maybe he has some hidden plan behind it.

Wang Baobao had already ordered the troops to retreat, but Saihazhi refused to change his ways and insisted on attacking Zhu Kai. It was not that he did not obey Wang Baobao's orders, but that he built his own will on Wang Baobao's orders.

This is something Wang Baobao could not tolerate.

Since you are going to die, then go ahead. Don’t even think about expecting me to save you... If you are lucky, I hope you can come back alive - after all, you are a unique and powerful general in the Yuan Dynasty, and Wang Baobao doesn’t want him to die like this.

Every loss of a general was a huge loss for the Mongols.

However, there cannot be anyone who disobeys orders, even if he is a rare and powerful general of the Mongols!

When Saihazhi heard what Wang Baobao said, he was overjoyed.

The King of Qi was finally willing to listen to his strong desire and let him kill Zhu Kai!

You little bastard, just wash your neck and wait!
After receiving Wang Baobao's military order, Saihazhi immediately called together five captains without any hesitation and asked them to lead their tribal cavalry to stop advancing and block Zhu Kai.

But Wang Baobao didn't even turn his head and continued to lead the remaining troops away.

Whoever wants to go can go, because Wang Baobao will definitely not stay anyway.

……

Sehazhi was holding a mace full of iron nails, with five centurions and their tribal cavalry behind him. He stayed where he was, waiting for Zhu Kai to appear.

Soon, the two armies met at a distance of one hundred steps.

Zhu Kai had good eyesight. He immediately spotted the Mongolian Tartar standing in the front on horseback and holding a wolf-tooth club.

Needless to say, the one who can use this weapon must be the commander!
Zhu Kai licked his lips excitedly when he saw the enemy's main general. The main reason was that he was not even a match for the enemy, so it was quite unsatisfying to fight him.

Before going to the battlefield... or before traveling to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Kai felt that the battles between generals on the battlefield in TV dramas were boring at all. But now Zhu Kai understands that this is a fight between men!

The man’s game is simple: to be better than other men!
Games like Battlefield Fighting, which determine the winner and the loser as well as life and death, will inevitably make men's hormones overflow!

Zhu Kai likes fighting on the battlefield more and more!
"Leave the one with the big stick to me, and no one else is allowed to take it!"

After Zhu Kai finished speaking, he growled, clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and charged forward.

Zhangzhou followed closely behind, and the cavalry behind him caught up. Despite being greatly outnumbered, they charged towards the Mongols at a rapid speed.

When Sehazhi saw Zhu Kai rushing over, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

He saw Zhu Kai in the same way that Zhu Kai saw him, with a golden helmet and golden armor... it was obviously Zhu Kai at first glance!
After all, on the battlefield, keeping a low profile can save your life.

Saihazhi said nothing, he just stared at Zhu Kai and started to charge, and the five thousand cavalrymen behind him followed, and the two torrents collided with each other at a rapid speed.

In an instant, shouts of killing resounded throughout the grassland.

Zhu Kai and Saihazhi collided in the midst of thousands of troops.

Zhu Kai’s gun shot out like a dragon, with the tip of the gun pointing directly at the wolf-tooth club in Sehazhi’s hand!
The wolf-tooth club is a heavy weapon that can sweep across an area. The spear in Zhu Kai's hand is very light in comparison. If the two weapons collide head-on, Zhu Kai will be the one who suffers in the end.

Zhu Kai wanted to use his strengths to attack his opponent's weaknesses. He was very strong, so he could use the tip of his gun to inflict heavy damage on Saihazhi.

We don't fight with weapons, we fight with strength. This guy can wield a wolf-tooth club, so he must be very strong.

Zhu Kai also wanted to try out how strong he was!
boom!
The swords collided with each other, making a sound that made people feel their teeth tingling, but the two men seemed not to feel it and they focused their attention on each other again.

Good strength!
Zhu Kai and Saihazhi both felt the other's strength, so they stopped shouting and continued to attack.

It’s all about strength!

Zhu Kai is very confident in his strength, and of course Saihazhi is also confident, and he also underestimates Zhu Kai a little.

How much strength can a young kid have?
Just try your best!
The two men fought back and forth, both trying their strength. The horses under their crotches could not bear the power of the other and kept retreating. However, these two horses were also fierce horses, and they retreated before moving forward again. Moreover, during the fight between Zhu Kai and Saihazhi, they were also kicking and fighting each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

boom!
After fighting for dozens of rounds, the two men retreated one after another.

When Saihazhi looked at Zhu Kai again, he no longer had the same contempt as before. On the contrary, he admired the general.

With this kind of strength, he would be a brave general no matter where he is.

What a pity, the other party is the prince of the Ming Dynasty and has a high status!
"You little brat, you have such great strength! I like it!"

Saihazhi did not hide his love for Zhu Kai and said loudly: "If you were not a prince, I would definitely capture you and make you serve my Yuan Dynasty!"

"What bullshit! I've only used 70% of my strength. You're still far behind me!"

Zhu Kai looked at Sai Hazhi, "You're scared, it's my turn next!"

"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?"

Saihazhi laughed loudly and also used all his strength to rush towards Zhu Kai fiercely. Zhu Kai was not afraid and faced the battle head-on.

The two men fought back and forth for dozens of rounds. No one dared to get close within a ten-meter radius. Not to mention anything else, the teeth-grinding sound of the spears and wolf-tooth clubs colliding was enough to scare people away.

After the fight, they separated. The spear in Zhu Kai's hand had been bent into a bow shape, and Saihazhi was not much better off. His wolf-tooth club was left bare, and the iron spikes on it had been broken during the fight.

"Come again!"

Zhu Kai finally found someone who could compete with him in strength, and he became even more excited, while Saihazhi went from admiration to secret shock.

He really couldn't understand how this seemingly harmless guy in front of him could be so powerful!

So big it’s scary.

However, the fight between the two has reached this point, and there is no possibility of retreat except to fight to the death.

boom!
The long spear bent into a bow shape and the bare Langya stick collided with each other. This time, the horses under their crotch could no longer withstand the strength of the two men. Their legs went weak and they fell directly to the ground.

Saihazhi and Zhu Kai felt something was wrong with their war horses and reacted immediately. Before the horses fell to the ground, they both pulled their feet out of the stirrups and rolled over to avoid the impact of the horses falling to the ground.

Standing up again, Zhu Kai raised his hand and threw away his weapon, then waved at Saiha Zhizhao, indicating that he would fight him with bare hands.

From Zhu Kai's actions, Sehazhi felt his contempt for himself.

Damn it, you are unarmed, if I take a weapon, wouldn’t it be like bullying a junior?
Then, Sehazhi threw away his weapon and faced Zhu Kai with bare hands.

He is a warrior on the grassland and is a master in wrestling. He doesn't believe that he cannot beat Zhu Kai with his bare hands.

When Zhu Kai saw Saihazhi throw away his weapon, he was speechless.

My spear is useless. What's the matter with you throwing away your weapon, brother?
Others don’t know that Zhu Kai with bare hands is the most powerful Zhu Kai... because this is the fighting style he is most familiar with.

After so many fights in Yingtian Prefecture, he has already acquired a lot of skills. Plus, Zhu Kai himself knows some fighting skills. So, isn't what Saihazhi is doing now exactly what he wants?

On the battlefield, except for comrades-in-arms, the rest are enemies. If the enemy gives you a chance, it means you think you are too old!

Zhu Kai is not a womanizer!
You want to fight!
Then let’s fight!
Zhu Kai was unarmed and was not afraid of Sehazhi at all. This time he wanted to show his fighting skills to the fullest.

As for competing in brute strength... fighting is all about skill, who would compete in brute strength?

Sehazhi doesn't have much fighting experience. His most experience is wrestling. He certainly knows that wrestling also requires skills, but strength is also a decisive factor.

Therefore, strength is more important!
When Sehazhi rushed towards Zhu Kai like a bull, Zhu Kai easily dodged him and punched Sehazhi in the eye.

? ? ? ?
Sehazhi was hit so hard that he saw stars and retreated repeatedly.

This second prince is so shameless that he actually uses his fists!
He felt that Zhu Kai couldn't afford to play with him. If you have the guts, come and wrestle with me!

Saihazhi felt that he couldn't continue fighting with Zhu Kai like this, he should use weapons!

So at the first moment, Sehazhi thought of the bare wolf-tooth club.

If he had known that Zhu Kai was so unsportsmanlike, he should not have thrown the wolf-tooth club!

But how could Zhu Kai give Sehazhi a chance to pick up a weapon? After he succeeded in hitting Sehazhi with one punch, he began to attack Sehazhi like a storm.

Zhu Kai knew that the elbow was the hardest!
So, when he attacked again, Zhu Kai took three steps forward, then bent his knees and raised his elbow, and his elbow hit Sehazhi directly.

Bang!
Sehazhi never thought about it...

His body weighing more than 200 pounds could actually be knocked away by just one elbow from Zhu Kai!
He felt as if he was hit by a horse charging at full speed, and his internal organs were displaced.

The wolf-tooth club that he could pick up by bending down seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

At the same time, Sehazhi also had a clearer understanding of Zhu Kai's strength. It turned out that when Zhu Kai said that he did not use his full strength, he really did not use his full strength.

Is this Zhu Kai's power now?

Sehazhi climbed up with difficulty, but Zhu Kai seemed unwilling to give him the chance to stand up again. He stepped forward and launched a series of punches at Sehazhi. Sehazhi hurriedly raised his arms to block.

Suddenly, Zhu Kai changed his tactics from smashing to grabbing. He grabbed Sehazhi's head with both hands, pressed it down hard, then bent his knees and lifted it up, hitting Sehazhi's arms that were protecting his face hard.

Click!

Sehazhi immediately felt a piercing pain in the front of his elbow.

No need to ask, it must be broken!

Sehazhi's arm was broken and he had no ability to resist. Zhu Kai didn't want to get along with him. He released the hand that was holding Sehazhi's head, pulled his left arm back, clenched it into a fist, and then smashed it hard on Sehazhi's chin.

Click!

This sound was the sound of Sehazhi's jaw being broken.

Sehazhi was confused at this time. He never expected that he and Zhu Kai had fought with weapons for nearly a hundred rounds, and neither side could do anything to the other. But he didn't expect that after putting down his weapons, he would be defeated in less than ten moves.

"Woooooooo..."

With his mouth full of blood, Sehazhi wanted to say something, but his jaw was broken and he couldn't speak at all. He couldn't hold back his saliva and blood and they flowed out along with his broken jaw.

"I told you, I only used 70% of my strength!"

Zhu Kai delivered another flying knee, hitting Sehazhi's face, instantly making Sehazhi's face dented.

Sehazhi was lying on the ground, and it was obvious that he was not going to survive.

Zhang Zhou immediately relaxed when he saw Zhu Kai kill Saihazhi. He didn't want Zhu Kai to continue fighting like this. The battlefield was too dangerous. It's better to be safe than sorry...

Now, Zhang Zhou could understand his elder brother's difficulties. Just kidding... If you meet a person like Zhu Kai, you can't resist him without a thick skin and thick nerves. Now he is just protecting Zhu Kai once, while Zhang Hao has to follow Zhu Kai in almost every battle. The difference between them...

Zhang Zhou sighed: This really puts it in a difficult position, brother.

Seeing Zhu Kai heading towards the crowded area, Zhang Zhou didn't dare to think any more. He pulled a scout over and shouted to him, "Take the people in the scout camp and shout, the enemy chief is dead, and those who kneel on the ground will not be killed!"

"The enemy chief is dead, those who kneel down will not be killed!"

"The enemy chief is dead, those who kneel down will not be killed!"

……

Zhu Kai never kills innocent people indiscriminately. He respects every life. If someone kneels down and begs for mercy, let them kneel down.

After the main culprit is executed, Zhu Kai will naturally protect the rest who will behave themselves as citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Kai seems quite unhappy now.

The main reason is still because of Zhangzhou.

If Zhang Zhou hadn't shouted at the top of his lungs to deprive the Mongol tribal cavalry of their fighting capacity, Zhu Kai would have been able to kill two more centurions to satisfy himself.

Now... everyone is kneeling on the ground, prostrating themselves.

There are still big battles to be fought later.

Zhu Kai did not stop, nor did he continue to chase the Tartars who were fleeing westward and northward. There was no need to chase them anymore, as he had more important things to do.

east!

Keep going east!

Zhu Kai packed up properly, leaving the extra captives where they were, waiting for Xu Da's army to come and take them, while he continued to move eastward with his troops.

……

Li Wenzhong of the Eastern Army didn't know that Zhu Kai was heading east at first. After receiving Xu Da's letter... Li Wenzhong got angry.

This little bastard is so daring to make trouble!

Do you really think fighting in the North is just playing house?

Zhu Kai... Li Wenzhong now wanted to hang Zhu Kai up and beat him up, so that he would know why the flowers are so red!

Speaking of which, Li Wenzhong is Zhu Kai's cousin. If he teaches Zhu Kai a lesson, he will get Ma Xiuying's approval, and maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will not blame him for anything?

With the thought of beating Zhu Kai in mind, Li Wenzhong was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had to save Zhu Kai.

So, Li Wenzhong personally led a small group of cavalry and galloped over.

It has to be said that Wang Baobao's intelligence gathering work was done very well. Even though Li Wenzhong was in a hurry to get on the road, he had to hide his whereabouts and slowly rushed towards the direction where Zhu Kai was while lurking and counter-lurking.

Li Wenzhong was also a veteran on the battlefield. He had his own unique insights into the understanding and control of the war situation. Although he did not raise a good son, his own military literacy was still very high.

Gulu grassland!

The first thing Li Wenzhong thought of was Gulu Grassland!

He believed that if the Mongols wanted to set an ambush on Zhu Kai, the Gulu grassland would be the most suitable place.

Therefore, Li Wenzhong, who hid during the day and moved out at night, playing hide-and-seek with the scouts of the Mongol Tartars, arrived at the Gulu grassland as quickly as possible.

But when he arrived, the Gulu grassland was already cold.

The dead bodies were buried underground by the Mongols who were left there waiting to receive them. More than 2,000 Mongols did not even run away, but sat together obediently waiting for the appearance of the Ming army.

"..."

Li Wenzhong, who saw this scene, was undoubtedly very confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on... How come these Mongolian Tartars became so well-behaved?
Also, what's up with their hair?

All of them lost their hair, leaving only bare green skin.

Through questioning, Li Wenzhong learned that these Mongolian Tartars who had their heads shaved on the Gulu grassland were Zhu Kai's captives. They did not dare to disobey Zhu Kai, so they stayed here and waited.

Li Wenzhong was puzzled: Is Zhu Kai so scary?

In his impression, Zhu Kai is still that little kid who only knows how to play, nothing special about him.

After listening to the Tartar's words, Li Wenzhong realized that Zhu Kai didn't know what weapon he used to be able to take people's heads from three hundred steps away. He also had a small iron ball that would explode when thrown out, but they didn't know what it was.

But their trust in the strong and Zhu Kai's promise to make them citizens of the Ming Dynasty made them choose to stay in the Gulu grassland and wait for the Ming army.

Li Wenzhong didn't know what the Mongols said, but there was one thing that Li Wenzhong was very clear about: these Mongols were so scared by Zhu Kai's killing that they dared not resist.

When they faced Zhu Kai, all they had left was fear.

Zhu Kai, what did you do?
Li Wenzhong was completely confused. These Mongolian Tartars were not capable enough to begin with, and on top of that they believed in some kind of god. They described Zhu Kai as the incarnation of a god, giving Zhu Kai an aura of a god, which made Li Wenzhong even more confused.

"Perhaps, without having personally experienced the battle on the Gulu Grassland, no one can explain what exactly happened?"

No matter what others think, Li Wenzhong, with his many years of combat experience, has no way of analyzing how Zhu Kai fights, how his weapons should be used on the battlefield... He can't analyze any of these.

Looking at the more than 2,000 prisoners in front of him, Li Wenzhong had an indescribable feeling.

He was clearly the general of the Eastern Army, one of the two deputy commanders of the Northern Expedition, but now he was doing the job of collecting prisoners of war...

That guy, does he really think I'm the transport captain?

Li Wenzhong's face was filled with hatred.

But the body was very obedient and took these prisoners away.

All this is thanks to Zhu Kai.

In the past, when Li Wenzhong first defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was adopted as an adopted son by Ma Xiuying. However, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he changed his surname back to Li. However, this did not affect Li Wenzhong's love for Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, especially Zhu Biao and Zhu Kai.

Zhu Biao had already shown his ability when he was appointed as the crown prince, but Zhu Kai had always been regarded as a scourge who did all kinds of evil. But now this scourge has made great achievements in the northern border, driving out the Mongols and saving Xu Da from danger...

With such an achievement, the ministers in the court should keep their mouths shut, right?
Li Wenzhong blamed Zhu Kai.

But he held his back straight, as if telling the world that the one who had made unprecedented contributions in the northern border was his younger brother, Li Wenzhong.

After cleaning up the Gulu grassland, Li Wenzhong was faced with a new problem. He had to think about: what would be Zhu Kai's next target?

Just now, the captive said Zhu Kai went east...

East?

Li Wenzhong's mind started working immediately, and then a very bold idea popped up.

It was so big that even he was scared... Could that little bastard have gone there?

There... is the Mongol granary located in Liaodong.

He wouldn't really do that, would he?

The ideas that popped up in Li Wenzhong's mind made him feel that they were a little unrealistic, but the problem was... Zhu Kai's ideas were different from those of others. He was a bold and daring person who dared to do anything.

There might be nothing in this world that he dare not do.

is it possible?
may!

But Li Wenzhong was also very clear that the Liaodong grain base of the Mongols was like a flaming mountain, and anyone who got involved would die.

Could it be that Xu Da did not realize the importance of the Mongol Liaodong grain base?
Not only Xu Da could realize it, but Zhu Yuanzhang could also realize it, but... they couldn't do it!
The Mongols are like a centipede that is about to die but is still alive. When dealing with such a behemoth, don't think of eating it up in one breath. Instead, you have to nibble away at it step by step, using the method of boiling a frog in warm water, cooking it little by little. This way, you will not be attacked by the Mongols.

Xu Da also knew how to deal with the Mongols who retreated to the grasslands, but why did he not go to Liaodong during this northern expedition? Instead, he fought with Wang Baobao on the grasslands?
There is no other reason. We cannot force the Mongols too hard. Attacking the Liaodong granary would be a life-threatening move.

Before the Mongols were driven out of Yuan Dadu, their fighting strength was indeed poor. But after retreating to the grassland, the Mongol cavalry that once dominated the world seemed to have returned. They became fearless and brave again, and began to regain the bloodiness of their ancestors.

Therefore, when facing the revitalized Mongols, we need to be careful and never fall into their trap.

Zhu Kai was invincible on the grassland and seemed to be in great glory, but Li Wenzhong was also very clear that on the battlefield, the slightest mistake could be magnified infinitely. If Zhu Kai died on the grassland, all his previous fame would disappear in an instant.

Moreover, Zhu Kai only has more than 3,000 people!
The Mongol Yuan Dynasty’s Liaodong grain base had at least 100,000 people!

Three thousand VS one hundred thousand!

No matter how you look at it, it seems like a death ending.

Li Wenzhong did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to rescue Zhu Kai. Even if he had to follow Zhu Kai as the transport captain, Li Wenzhong had to go.

He ordered the messengers to set off, and the messengers were divided into two groups. One group went to Xu Da and Feng Sheng's troops, and the other group held Li Wenzhong's token and ordered them to turn east and head straight for the Mongol Liaodong military base.

……

Xu Da and Feng Sheng soon met Li Wenzhong's messenger, and told Xu Da about Li Wenzhong's inference and subsequent decision.

In this northern expedition, Xu Da was the chief commander, and Li Wenzhong, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, had the right to make random arrangements, but the final decision still lay with Xu Da.

Xu Da knew that whether he allowed Li Wenzhong to find Zhu Kai or not, he would definitely go with a large army, and this could not be stopped in any way.

And now, Xu Da is considering whether he should go east.

In Xu Da's opinion, since they were chasing after Zhu Kai, there was not much significance in this northern expedition. It was just like playing house with Zhu Kai.

Now, the best way is not to move eastward, but to expand the results of the war to the north and consume the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's manpower.

Zhu Kai's way of treating prisoners gave Xu Da a new idea: if he saved the people and lost the land, he would gain both the people and the land; if he saved the land and lost the people, he would lose both the people and the land. The best way and method was to make the tribes on the grassland that were affiliated with the Mongols surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Da’s strategic intention was very clear, which was to consume the Mongols’ manpower. Aren’t all the people on your grassland soldiers?

Then I will take all your people away and see how you can still mobilize all the people to fight as a soldier!
In less than five years, the Mongols will no longer exist!

Xu Da’s plan was good.

But now he is not the only one in charge of the army.

And there is Zhu Biao.

Although Zhu Biao did not hold a position in the army, his status meant that even if Xu Da had the power to make decisions, he had to consider Zhu Biao's attitude.

As we all know, Zhu Biao is a brother-con and he would do anything to protect his younger brother.

What should I do if my plan is not adopted by Zhu Biao?
Moreover, now we are going to attack the Liaodong grain base of the Mongols.

This was tantamount to touching the Mongols' sore spot. They would preserve their food base even at all costs.

By then, there will be another bloody battle.

Killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own was a result that Xu Da could not accept.

Xu Da’s idea was correct, but the person who made the final decision would still be Zhu Biao.

With Li Wenzhong's messenger, Xu Da went to see Zhu Biao.

After hearing what the messenger said, Zhu Biao pondered for a while, then said to the messenger: "I know about this matter, you can go down and rest first."

After the messenger left, only Zhu Biao and Xu Da were left in the tent. Xu Da was listening to Zhu Biao's opinions, while Zhu Biao was thinking about how to say it to Xu Da.

"Uncle Xu, you have already figured out what to do, right?"

Zhu Biao did not exchange pleasantries with Xu Da, but directly said what Xu Da did not say: "Rescue Brother Kai or fight according to the established strategy. You are more inclined to the latter, but you are not clear about my attitude, so you want to follow my decision."

Xu Da did not say anything, obviously agreeing with what Zhu Biao said.

Zhu Biao did not rush to make a decision, but said to Xu Da: "Uncle Xu, just tell me what you want to do. If we go to rescue Brother Kai at this time, what will be the consequences?"

Hearing Zhu Biao's question, Xu Da naturally told him all his thoughts.

Now is not the best time to rescue Zhu Kai. Perhaps the time to rescue Zhu Kai has never existed from the beginning, and there is no question of rescue at all.

After saying this, Xu Da continued to stand and listen to Zhu Biao's decision.

"Okay! Then we won't go and save Brother Kai. Uncle Xu, just continue to do what you want to do."

Zhu Biao looked at Xu Da and said, "I feel sorry for Brother Kai, but military affairs are a matter of great importance to a country. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, I should put state affairs first!"

"Besides, not chasing Brother Kai to Liaodong at this time is also a kind of protection for Brother Kai. At the very least...Mongol Yuan cannot focus all his attention on Brother Kai. Uncle Xu is the enemy he should pay the most attention to!"

"Of course I can give in to personal feelings, but my father and uncles have worked so hard to build the Ming Dynasty, and personal feelings must not be put above it."

Zhu Biao told Xu Da in this way: When doing things, don’t consider your own feelings!
The current Zhu Biao is the crown prince and the heir apparent to the Ming Dynasty.

Just as Zhu Biao said, continuing to attack northwards and threatening the Mongol royal court would also be another form of protection for Zhu Kai.

With Xu Da involved, the Mongols naturally would not focus all their attention on Zhu Kai.

In this way, even if Zhu Kai failed to capture the Liaodong granary, he could retreat calmly.

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Xu Da felt indescribable emotion.

Zhu Yuanzhang's two sons were both outstanding people!
It is truly a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have rising stars like them!
"I will obey the orders of the Crown Prince!"

Xu Da bowed to Zhu Biao and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to ensure the safety of the Second Prince."

"No need, my brother Kai, I will protect you."

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll go east to find Brother Kai."

"what?"

Xu Da didn't expect that Zhu Biao changed his mind so soon after.

If you go east at this time, won't you be causing trouble for yourself?

There are Mongol spies everywhere. Once they know Zhu Biao's identity, they might attack Zhu Biao directly.

If Zhu Biao had any mishap in the northern border, it would be something that Xu Da would not be able to bear!

"Uncle Xu, the one who just spoke to you was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. I am Kaidi's elder brother now. If Kaidi is in danger, how can I, as his elder brother, not stay by his side?"

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know I don't have the ability to fight on the battlefield like Brother Kai, so I won't cause trouble for Uncle Xu. I will go back to the interior first, and then go to Liaodong from the interior."

Xu Da wanted to say more, but Zhu Biao had made up his mind and it was useless for him to persuade him.

Never mind...let him be.

Xu Da bowed and accepted the order, but he also said to Zhu Biao firmly: "Then Your Highness, please allow me to send your personal soldiers to escort Your Highness."

"it is good."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

……

Yingtian, inside the imperial city.

The Nine Gates Imperial Guards were dispatched together to occupy the entire Yingtian Prefecture.

There is a city-wide curfew and no one is allowed to go out.

After receiving such an order, the people felt uneasy.

There is a war in the north, and Yingtian is thousands of miles away, but now there is a sudden curfew. Has something big happened?
The people were so frightened that they hid in their homes and dared not go out.

If you are afraid of being attacked by weapons, you will be in big trouble.

Something big did happen in the imperial city.

However, it was not as the people thought, that there was no rebellion or trouble.

The matter was simple yet also big. Zhu Yuanzhang's third son Zhu Chong, fourth son Zhu Gang, and fifth son Zhu Di suddenly disappeared without a trace in the imperial city, and no one could find their whereabouts.

As for where I went, is there any need to tell me?

Of course I have to go to the North!

Zhu Yuanzhang got very angry about this!
In the Wuying Palace, he threatened to break the legs of the three little bastards.

The most important thing is that he has lived alone in the palace for more than two months. Although he visits several concubines from time to time in order to give birth to a son, he cannot return to Kunning Palace, which makes him very angry. Among his sons, only five of them can be beaten hard. The others are still young and cannot be cruel.

Now that the five people who can withstand a beating are gone, how can Zhu Yuanzhang be happy?
找！
We must find them!
Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to find them all and give them a severe beating!

Zhu Yuanzhang just felt like getting angry in order to get his son back. As for other reasons, they did not exist.

At this moment, another military report came from the northern border eight hundred miles away. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately opened the letter. After reading the content, a smile immediately appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's angry face.

Hahaha, Zhu Kai is worthy of being the young tiger of my Zhu family!

The Mongols...are nothing but clay chickens and clay dogs!

However, after reading the last content of the military newspaper, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned grim.

These sons are truly his, Zhu Yuanzhang’s descendants!

Zhu Kai killed people everywhere in the northern border, forcing the Mongols to flee in fear. Even the traps set by the Mongols were easily broken by Zhu Kai.

As for how Zhu Kai won and what terrifying weapon he had in his hand, none of this matters.

The important thing is, that person is Zhu Kai!
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face grew wider, and he became more and more satisfied with Zhu Kai.

It’s just that Zhu Biao... is too impulsive. He should trust Zhu Kai unconditionally. It’s okay for you to love Zhu Kai, but you shouldn’t think that if Zhu Kai leaves you, there will be dangers everywhere. He should have his own abilities.

The only thing that makes people angry now is those three little bastards who ran away!
After you leave, who will I be able to take care of?
But where did they go?

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to capture the three little bastards Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di, but it would be inappropriate to tell others if he did it without any purpose.

We need to first understand what they are thinking.

Without asking, Zhu Yuanzhang could guess that the three of them left Yingtian Prefecture and were definitely heading for the northern border. To be more precise, they were heading for Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai is going to Liaodong now. If these three little bastards go to find Zhu Kai, they will definitely hear news about Zhu Kai on the way and will also head to Liaodong.

If you want to go to Liaodong, you must pass through Peking.

Then, as long as Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di appear in Beiping... this may take too long. If we find someone in advance and drag them back to Yingtian... then we have to work hard on the road.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to start looking for the whereabouts of Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di on the way to Beiping.

……

"Third brother, I want to go find second brother."

At a roadside stall on the Huguang Highway, Zhu Gang lay on the table in boredom, his face full of pain: "Didn't we agree to go find our second brother after we got out? Why are we heading to Shaanxi now?"

It’s not interesting at all!

It would be great to go find Zhu Kai!

"You're the only one who wants to go find the second brother? He'll just cause trouble if you go!"

Zhu Di was eating beside him while mocking Zhu Gang: "Besides, didn't Third Brother just say that? If our father knew that the three of us ran away, he would definitely think that we were going to find Second Brother and would definitely block us on the road. If we go directly to find Second Brother, can we see him?"

Zhu Chong said from the side: "Why do you want to meet the second brother? Do you want to prove to him that we can fight in the battlefield? Haha... stop joking, when the second brother sees the three of us, he will beat us even harder than our father!"

Thinking of the beatings he received every other day, Zhu Chong twisted his body uncomfortably and said, "So, instead of going to find my second brother, why not think about...what we should do? If we do it well this time and it's seen by my second brother, my eldest brother, and my father, then it won't be easy for us to figure it out in the future, right?"

Zhu Di nodded beside him: "Third brother is right. We ran out this time so that we can go out with second brother in the future, instead of looking for second brother every time we go out to play."

How can I follow Zhu Kai if I don’t have the ability?
Zhu Gang was unhappy. The key point was that if he went out to play and didn't follow Zhu Kai's footsteps, he didn't know what to do.

Or you can listen to Zhu Chong...but Zhu Chong can't compare to Zhu Kai.

Zhu Di hugged Zhu Gang's neck and said, "Don't be so sad all day. What's there to be unhappy about? Don't worry... After this, you can follow your second brother in the future. Don't worry, I know my second brother very well. When you follow my second brother, I promise to say good things about you."
