Chapter 31 Feng Sheng comes to Daning!
"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes Duke Song."

"Welcome, generals."

Bu Wan led a group of officials from Daning Prefecture to bow to the visitor.

The leading veteran smiled slightly and raised his hand: "Master Bu, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Duke Song." Bu Wan immediately expressed his gratitude.

"What is the current situation of Daning Prefecture, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the Tartars?" Duke of Song Feng Sheng asked immediately.

Bu Wan glanced around and immediately led the way: "Duke Song, please go into the palace first to discuss in detail. After all, there are too many people here."

"it is good."

Feng Sheng did not refuse and followed Bu Wan into the government office.

The thousand personal guards accompanying Feng Sheng were also in good order, distributed outside the government office, and some of them protected Feng Sheng as he entered the government office.

The Duke of the current dynasty holds a very high status.

If there were any damage, it would be a major event that would shock the Ming Dynasty.

Inside the government hall!
Feng Sheng sat in the main seat, and the many generals accompanying him also took their seats in an orderly manner.

"Your Highness, Duke Song."

"The Yuan court has already sent troops to attack Huizhou City on the border of Daning Prefecture."

"I have already dispatched 20,000 border troops to defend the city. Although the Yuan court's offensive is strong, it cannot break the city. This is enough to support the main force of the Ming Dynasty to rush to the rescue, and we can turn from defense to offense in a short time." Bu Wan said immediately.

"What about the northern border?" Feng Sheng asked again.

The reason why he arrived early and ahead of the army was to understand the situation of the war and to know the better way to deal with it, so he attacked and destroyed Nahachu.

"Reply to Duke Song."

"Before the Yuan court mobilized its troops, the Jianzhou Tartars, who were affiliated with the Yuan court, sent people to disrupt the peace of our Daning Prefecture and murder the people. Following the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Daning border troops were dispatched to suppress the banditry. In reality, they were also attacking the Jianzhou Tartars, stabilizing Daning and attracting the Yuan court's attention."

"After a battle on the border with the Jianzhou Tartars, their territory was driven a hundred miles away by our Ming Dynasty."

"During the pursuit, the Tartars avoided fighting, intending to delay our army."

"Therefore, our army has divided its forces. The main force will attack the Yuan court in Liaodong from the northern border to attract the attention of the Yuan court and delay the Yuan army. At the same time, we will leave thousands of elite cavalry in the northern border to delay the Tartars." General Bu Wan reported the current situation truthfully.

Hear this.

Feng Sheng frowned: "Aren't the thousands of people left in the northern border in danger?"

He commanded troops for many years.

Even from just a few words of Bu Wan, one can hear the situation and outcome of the battle.

"For the Ming Dynasty, everything is worth it."

"Although the Jianzhou Tartars are just a small tribe, all their people are soldiers. If we don't hold them back, they may not cooperate with the Yuan court to attack the Ming Dynasty. It will be worth it as long as we can hold back the Jianzhou Tartars with thousands of people until the main force of the Ming Dynasty arrives." Bu Wan replied immediately.

Feng Sheng nodded.

From a big picture perspective, this is indeed the case.

"correct."

"Where is Captain Zhu Ying, who killed hundreds of people and beheaded generals and flags?" Feng Sheng asked with a smile.

Although he was mobilizing troops outside, Feng Sheng also knew about the good news that had been sent back to Yingtian.

Moreover, the current emperor has issued an order to spread this victory throughout the army to boost morale.

"Reply to Duke Song."

"It was Captain Zhu Ying who proposed the strategy of dividing the troops to launch a surprise attack on the Yuan court and using cavalry to hold back the Tartars."

"Zhu Ying is brave and fearless. He proposed the strategy and took on this responsibility."

"Now he has requested the command of 5,000 soldiers to disrupt the Tartars in the northern border territory and delay their military action."

"Now, according to the military merit system, I have temporarily promoted Zhu Ying to the position of acting garrison commander, commanding 5,000 troops."

"Once the task is completed, Zhu Ying will be officially appointed as the garrison commander." Bu Wan said immediately.

"Zhu Ying is indeed courageous and loyal to his country. He is worthy of training." Feng Sheng also praised him.

It's also at this time!
"Report."

"Military reports have been sent back from Ansha County."

One of Bu Wan's personal guards came quickly with a military newspaper in his hand.

"Could they have evacuated?" Bu Wan thought to himself.

He immediately waved his hand.

The guards immediately presented the military report.

Bu Wan quickly opened it and took a look, but his expression suddenly changed. "Prefect Bu, what happened?" Feng Sheng asked immediately after seeing Bu Wan's expression.

Bu Wan said with a serious expression, "Zhu Ying is being a bit reckless."

"Please have a look at it, Duke Song."

talking.

General Bu Wan handed the military newspaper in his hand to Feng Sheng.

After Feng Sheng received the military report, his face changed immediately.

"It was indeed a reckless move."

"The Tartars have an army of tens of thousands."

"Using a thousand cavalrymen to launch a feint attack, while four thousand cavalrymen seize the opportunity to attack the camp. The Tatar tribe is heavily guarded. This is a suicidal act."

"If I were in command of the troops, I would harass them gradually and not engage in a head-on battle with the Tartars. I would just delay them." Feng Sheng spoke slowly, a look of disappointment on his face.

Obviously.

This military report was submitted by Li Tao, who had already withdrawn to Daning.

This time he has led his subordinates to withdraw to Daning. In order to avoid being held accountable in the future, he naturally wants to completely clear himself of the matter and must report to Zhu Ying for his stubbornness and insistence on attacking the Tartar tribe with a small force.

"Zhu Ying is indeed too aggressive this time. It's dangerous." Bu Wan also sighed.

This time.

He could even imagine the situation where Zhu Ying and his 4,000 cavalrymen were surrounded and destroyed by the Tatars.

"Pity."

"Such a young and brave general, after all, only has courage and strength, but doesn't know how to command troops." Feng Sheng said with a sigh.

before coming.

He also heard that the current emperor praised Zhu Ying, saying that his bravery was the best among the Ming Dynasty soldiers and worthy of learning from every Ming Dynasty soldier.

But now...

"Is there any way to contact Zhu Ying?"

"If you can make contact, have him evacuate immediately."

"As for the Tartars, there is no need to worry for the time being. Within ten days, 200,000 troops of our Ming Dynasty will gather in Daning." Feng Sheng said in a deep voice.

"I will immediately send a message to the captain guarding Ansha County to send people to look for him." Bu Wan said immediately.

Obviously.

Although Zhu Ying made the mistake of being too reckless and underestimating the enemy this time.

However, his achievements were recognized by the current emperor, who just announced to the entire army that Zhu Ying had killed a hundred enemies. If he really died in battle in the northern border, it would not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

"Yeah." Feng Sheng nodded and said no more.

After seated.

Feng Sheng prepared to arrange subsequent troop deployment and offensive strategies.

At this moment!

"Report."

"Zhu Ying, the garrison commander of the northern border, sent a letter via carrier pigeon."

"Please read it, sir."

A soldier in charge of guarding the carrier pigeons quickly came into the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Zhu Ying's carrier pigeon message?"

Bu Wan's expression was slightly surprised.

"grown ups."

"When Zhu Shoubei stayed behind in the northern border, he specifically asked General Chen for a few carrier pigeons to pass on messages." Bu Wan's personal guard replied.

"It seems that Zhu Ying is fine."

A smile appeared on Feng Sheng's face.

"Show it up quickly." Bu Wan immediately waved to the soldiers in the hall.

The latter quickly stepped forward and took away Zhu Ying's military report.
