Chapter 244 Let me take two little kids to fight and play! (Please subscribe!!)
"Are you serious?"

Ouyang Lun looked at the two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai with wide eyes.

Zhu Di nodded, "Fourth brother-in-law, it's absolutely true. I guess the eunuch who came to deliver the order will be here soon."

The voice fell.

A group of people walked up the tower in a mighty manner. The leader was dressed in eunuch attire, dragging the dust with one hand and holding a rolled-up imperial edict in the other.

"North Zhili Chief Envoy Ouyang Lun accepted the order!"

As the sharp voice sounded, everyone stood up.

Ouyang Lun came to the front rather reluctantly, bowed his hands to the eunuch, and said, "Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun, accepts the order."

"Ah."

The eunuch nodded, then opened the imperial edict and read it out, "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven. The edict says: The king of Liang in the Yuan Dynasty of Yunnan sent Zarawal to kill our envoys and made such nonsense. It is unbearable and unbearable. I have decided to recruit the king's army to attack. I order the King of Yan, Zhu Di, and the King of Xiang, Zhu Bai, Mu Ying, and Ouyang Lun to lead the expedition and set off immediately, without delay! I appreciate this!"

"Consort Ouyang, this is how much your Majesty attaches great importance to you. Please hand over the government affairs quickly and set off quickly!"

Ouyang Lun received the imperial edict and said, "Zhou Bao, my father-in-law has come from afar. You must treat me well."

"Yes." Zhou Bao immediately stepped forward and led the eunuch away.

After the person who delivered the edict left, Ouyang Lun looked at the edict in his hand in a daze, and even couldn't help but roared:

"Nah! Is Zhu Yuanzhang suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang He, Xu Da, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were startled and quickly looked to see if the eunuch who had delivered the order had gone far away.

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, be careful what you say! If others listen to these words, it will be a death penalty!" Tang He said quickly.

"Fourth brother-in-law, Your Majesty is our elder, let's talk about it," Zhu Di also followed suit.

Ouyang Lun said helplessly: "Elders. Haha, are there any elders who are so anxious to let their sons and sons-in-law die?"

"What are Zhu Di and Zhu Bai doing now? Doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang have some idea in his heart? Let them command an army of 30 to pacify Yunnan. At best, he will let his son go and experience it. At worst, he will die!"

"He just let his son die, so why bother with me! I haven't lived enough yet!"

heard.

Tang He and Xu Da covered their foreheads with their hands. They had been with Ouyang Lun for so long, and even the King of Heaven dared to scold Ouyang Lun if he got angry.

The two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were quite speechless, their facial management basically failed, and the corners of their mouths kept twitching.

Just scold me, why bring them with you!
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, didn't the imperial decree say that in addition to King Yan and King Xiang, you and Mu Ying are also arranged to assist you. With you and Mu Ying watching, it won't be easy to win." Tang He tried his best to smile. .

"That's right! When we conquered Dongying, wouldn't you have gone with Brother Tang? Brother Tang told me that if you hadn't helped with suggestions, he wouldn't have been able to conquer Dongying Kyoto so easily. It's not the same this time, even if there is a problem, you can turn the tide!" Xu Da nodded.

"How can it be the same! I have natural motivation to fight against the Japs, and I use my own men, as well as Uncle Tang, your commander. But this time we are pacifying Yunnan, and none of the 30 troops are under my command. The commander is still Zhu Di and Zhu Bai are two guys who have just grown up. No, Zhu Bai is not yet an adult! He is leading two little kids to fight!"

Ouyang Lun said angrily.

"Fourth brother-in-law, we are about the same age as King Yan and King Xiang." Zhu Di looked at Ouyang Lun sadly.

"I'm not talking about you two, I'm talking about Yan King Zhu Di and Xiang King Zhu Bai!" Ouyang Lun waved his hand.

Zhu Di: "."

"Fourth brother-in-law, even if the prestige of King Yan and King Xiang is not enough to command an army of 30, we still have Mu Ying and those generals. With them, we don't have to worry about an army of 30. As a commander, we only need to manage the army and generals well." That's it!" Zhu Bai said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Ouyang Lun glanced at Zhu Bai, "You two brothers are definitely better than the two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai, and they also know how to manage the army generals. But if I say that the problem lies with these army generals, how should you deal with it?"

Uh-huh! ?
The two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were immediately stunned.

What could go wrong for an army general? !They haven't thought about this issue at all.

Tang He was the first to react, "Nephew Ouyang, you mean that people from the Huaixi Party will cause trouble?!"

Xu Da shook his head, "They don't dare to do that."

Ouyang Lun muttered: "Don't you dare? You still underestimate people's hearts. In order to get rid of me, the Huaixi Party threatened to go to Yunnan. What else do they not dare to do?"

"Let me ask you something, if King Zhu Di of Yan and King Zhu Bai of Hunan win this battle, what will it mean for the Huaixi Party?"

Tang He and Xu Da were stunned when Ouyang Lun asked this question.

"If Zhu Di and Zhu Bai really pacify Yunnan, their value to the Huaixi Party in His Majesty's eyes will be greatly reduced!"

"That's right!" Ouyang Lun nodded, "Based on my understanding of my emperor's father-in-law, if my own son can lead troops to win battles, then the military power will basically not be shared by other generals. Do you think the Huaixi Party Can you do it?"

"Let's not talk about how powerful the King of Liang was in the Yuan Dynasty. The Huaixi Party's urinary nature will definitely stumble in secret. They are not afraid of how strong the enemy is in a war. They are most afraid of pig teammates and traitors. Now that they have taken over them all, it will be surprising if they can win!"

"Whoever wants to go to Yunnan can go there, but I won't go anyway."

Ouyang Lun waved his hand, sat down again, and continued eating meat and drinking wine.

Tang He and others looked at each other and sat back.

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, I think what you said makes sense, but now His Majesty has issued an order. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order and will be beheaded." Tang He quickly reminded.

"Resist the decree? No no, how could I resist the decree?" Ouyang Lun shook his head, "I will eat some croton when I get back later. I will be so exhausted that I can't even walk. Then I will write to my father-in-law, the emperor. A memorandum of apology will suffice!"

"Although doing this will easily offend my emperor father-in-law, I didn't have a good relationship with him originally. He still needs me now, so he probably won't kill me. In a word, I can survive as long as I can."

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Tang He and others were quite shocked.

The two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were about to cry. Originally they thought this was a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves, but when they heard what Ouyang Lun said, their hearts kept beating. Now Ouyang Lun would rather resist the order than go. Yunnan, what should they do?Are you really going to die?
"Fourth brother-in-law, if you don't go, what will we two brothers do?"

Zhu Di said aggrievedly.Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "I advise you not to think about making contributions, and quickly give your uncle a message and ask him to remove you two from the list of the southern expedition. Maybe you can save your life!"

Zhu Di and Zhu Bai couldn't laugh or cry.

It might be okay if it were someone else, but if they were replaced, wouldn't that be a slap in Zhu Yuanzhang's face?

Therefore, it is impossible for them not to go to Yunnan.

"Fourth brother-in-law, I'm afraid it's over. We don't have the courage like you. Your Majesty may not kill you, but he will definitely kill us!" Zhu Di said with a crying face: "How about you give us brothers some advice? When will we tell the King of Yan and the King of Xiang?"

"This is a way!" Ouyang Lun looked at the pitiful Zhu Di and Zhu Bai in front of him, "You two are younger brothers, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai are also younger brothers. If you really lose four younger brothers all at once, you fourth sister probably won't be able to bear it. live."

"I definitely won't go, but I can give you some advice."

Hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai immediately became excited.

"Fourth brother-in-law, hurry up and tell us, we will do what you say!"

"Yes, yes, we will do whatever you want us to do!"

Ouyang Lun thought for a moment and said, "If you want to win this round, don't put too much hope in the 30-strong army."

"Come here and I'll tell you in detail."

"it is good!"

Zhu Di and Zhu Bai quickly put their ears close.

"You just need this. This"

After hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were both a little shocked.

"Fourth brother-in-law, is this really okay?"

"As long as you do what I say, no matter how evil the Huaixi Party people are, it will not be a problem to win Yunnan! The only requirement is that you remember to tell King Yan and King Xiang that if they win, remember to help me. Beg for mercy from the emperor." Ouyang Lun spread his hands helplessly, "What I fear most now is that my emperor's father-in-law will settle accounts in the future."

The two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai looked at each other, then nodded heavily.

"Please rest assured, fourth brother-in-law, we will definitely intercede for you when the time comes. No, no, we are asking King Yan and King Xiang to intercede for you!"

"That's right, this matter is all our brothers' responsibility."

Seeing the two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Bai patting their chests and promising, Ouyang Lun suddenly smiled, "You and your uncle are indeed father and son. The expressions of this promise are exactly the same. He also promised me to say good things to my emperor's father-in-law, but now it's no longer There is no one left, you two must not let me down!"

Beijing.

Korean government.

Everyone in the Huaixi Party gathered together again.

"I heard that King Yan and King Xiang have gone to Yunnan with an army of 30 people?" one of them asked.

"We set out from the capital ten days ago. Our Emperor also held a grand expedition ceremony for King Yan and King Xiang. He really cares about his son!" Lan Yu muttered with a look of jealousy.

Fu Youde said in a deep voice: "According to the marching speed, they will almost reach Huguang."

Li Shanchang slowly asked: "How are the things I asked you to arrange before?"

"Old Prime Minister Li, please rest assured. The officers and soldiers in this southern expedition are all our old troops. We don't need to ask at all. They don't know what to do!"

"Those old veterans, let's not talk about whether they are good at fighting, but they are definitely good at cheating, cheating, making trouble, and inciting emotions in the army!"

"With Zhu Di and Zhu Bai, there's no way we can handle it. It would be great if we can get to Yunnan smoothly!"

Li Shanchang nodded, "You haven't come forward or been discovered, right?"

"You definitely can't come forward with this kind of thing in person. It's just a hint. Even if something goes wrong, it won't be burned on us."

"That is, it is obvious that Zhu Di and Zhu Bai do not have enough prestige to control the army. What does it have to do with us?"

"The people who went to hint are all dead soldiers. They have been cleaned up quickly and will not leave any evidence."

As the discussion progressed, the atmosphere at the scene became much more enthusiastic, and smiles appeared on the faces of everyone in the Huaixi Party.

Feng Sheng said with a smile: "It is already October. If Yunnan cannot be solved within the year, the 30 troops will be stranded in Yunnan by then. With winter and the soldiers homesick for the New Year, this southern expedition will definitely return without success. , it’s time for us to take action next time!”

Lan Yu said with some regret: "It's a pity that Ouyang Lun actually claimed to be ill this time and did not join the army. Otherwise, even if he did not die on the battlefield in Yunnan, I will ask Your Majesty to kill him next time to sacrifice the flag!!"

"Lanyu, don't worry, as long as we help His Majesty pacify Yunnan next year, we can deal with Ouyang Lun how we want to deal with him then!"

"The Prince Consort Party is just a bunch of unsuccessful people gathered together. How big of a stir can it cause? It's not even as good as the East Zhejiang Party in the past."

"Our Huaixi Party still has the final say in the court, and it is our Huaixi Party that Your Majesty can rely on!"

Li Shanchang looked at Lan Yu and asked meaningfully: "Lanyu, how are you preparing over there?"

Lan Yu came back to her senses and said with a sinister smile: "Please rest assured, Old Xiangguo Li, Zhu Di and the others will never win!"

Li Shanchang nodded, "Then let's wait and see."

In his heart, Li Shanchang secretly said: Ouyang Lun, Ouyang Lun, I didn't want to be your enemy, but this time I have to take action, and I hope you won't blame me in the end!

In October of the 15th year of Hongwu, due to the uncooperativeness of the 30-strong army, after a series of bumpy and slow marches, King Zhu Di of Yan and King Zhu Bai of Hunan finally led their troops to Huguang, and then divided their troops into two groups according to the strategy that had been formulated. Attack Yunnan from the east and north. The northern route led 5 troops led by the governors Guo Ying, Hu Haiyang, Chen Huan, etc., and headed towards Wusa from Yongning. This is the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces, and it is an important military area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. , this 3-strong army stopped midway.

On the east route, Zhu Di, Zhu Bai, Mu Ying and others led the army from Chenzhou and Yuanzhou to Guizhou, attacking Puding and Pu'an. Mu Ying held the line, although the soldiers were slacking off, disobeying orders, cheating and slipping in the middle. Question, the progress of the war is generally going smoothly.

In November of the 14th year of Hongwu's reign, the Ming army arrived at the Baishi River in the northeast of Qujing in heavy fog. The fog cleared and the sky cleared. Dalima, the general of the Yuan Dynasty, saw the Ming army's strength across the river and rushed his elite troops to guard the river bank. Zhu Di adopted Mu Ying's suggestion. , the governor feigned a frontal attack, and sent a strange force to cross the river secretly from the lower reaches, and went around to the rear of Liang Wang's army. They planted flags and played golden drums in the valley. The defenders were panicked when they saw the situation. Mu Ying took advantage of the situation and led his army across the river, but was seen through by the Yuan army. , the Yuan army, which had already been ambushing on the shore, took advantage of Mu Yingjiang's army to attack when it approached the shore. Mu Ying returned defeated and seriously injured, and the surprise troops sent before also returned without success.

At this point, the Ming army was blocked across the Baishi River and could not advance.
