Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, Liu Bowen could only go along with what he meant and said: "The spies are indeed a bit incompetent, but the most urgent task is that we should quickly determine the movements of Zhang Wuji's troops."
"A cavalry of tens of thousands of people is not too many, but not too few either."
"If Zhang Wuji's cavalry appeared in the place where he should not be, it would definitely cause unexpected consequences."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention back to the map in front of him.
"According to you, sir, where is the place where Zhang Wuji should least appear?"
Liu Bowen immediately said: "First of all, Zhang Wuji will never start a war with us at this time."
"So his troops will never appear on the land of Jiangnan."
"However, Zhang Wuji's troops did not join forces with Yang Xiao and the others, so there is only one possibility."
As he spoke, Liu Bowen pointed his finger towards the location of Yuan Dadu.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It seems, it seems that this is really possible."
"However, Zhang Wuji only has a few tens of thousands of troops. Even if he arrives in Dadu, what can he do?"
Liu Bowen smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Wuji does not have many troops, and most of them are tied up in Longcheng."
"But if he suddenly appears when our troops are fighting a life-and-death battle with Zhao Min outside the capital, it will be a different story."
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily: "How dare he? Zhao Min and I fought to the death, but he came to pick the ripe fruit of Dadu. Isn't he afraid that I will go to war with him immediately after I kill Zhao Min?"
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Wuji is not a fool. Back then, he dared to attack Xuzhou openly with only tens of thousands of people. Now, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. There is nothing in this world that he dare not do."
"If my guess is correct, Zhang Wuji's troops should be crossing the northern grasslands."
"Then he appeared behind Zhao Min, and when we were fighting with Zhao Min to the death, he suddenly seized Dadu."
"Since ancient times, the one who enters Xianyang first will be king."
"If Zhang Wuji takes over Yuan Dadu before us, he will definitely gain a great advantage in the hearts of the people."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Crossing the northern grassland? That is the Mongolian stronghold. Even if the Mongols are useless now, they will never let him run rampant in their own territory."
Liu Bowen said: "What can we do about the Mongolian lair?"
"The Mongols are no longer the Mongols of more than a hundred years ago. Most of the people on the northern grasslands are just aristocrats who have lived a life of luxury for decades."
"What's more, seven or eight out of ten of the entire Yuan court's combat power is in Zhao Min's hands."
"There are not many decent combat forces left on the northern grasslands."
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent again. After a long time, he asked Liu Bowen, "Sir, do you have any good ideas now?"
Liu Bowen said: "I think that everything has two sides. If Zhang Wuji's target is really Yuan Dadu, it may be a good thing for us."
"If Zhang Wuji really has plans to launch a surprise attack on Yuan Dadu, it only means that he is also ready to turn against us."
"In this way, we won't have to look for excuses to go to war with him in the future."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's time for you to leave now."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Sir, what you mean is that I should lead another army north, and after destroying Zhao Min, I will directly go into battle with Zhang Wuji?"
Liu Bowen laughed and said, "If Zhang Wuji is willing to stay in Hexi, it will only cause more trouble for us."
"This time he went on the expedition, he only brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."
"As long as Zhao Min is defeated, he will become a fish on the chopping board. Can't our army of hundreds of thousands deal with his tens of thousands of people?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, okay, I'll do as you say."
"Order the navy to reorganize the troops immediately and fight in Dadu. I will not only kill Zhao Min, but also Zhang Wuji."
…
For hundreds of years, no Han troops have appeared on the grassland.
But at this moment, Zhang Wuji's cavalry was galloping here.
"Report..."
"Your Majesty, we have discovered a Mongolian tribe thirty miles ahead on the left. The tribe has about two to three thousand people, and there are herds of cattle and sheep in the tribe."
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it's just right that the soldiers are hungry."
"If we don't eat the cattle and sheep that are delivered to our door, it would be a waste."
"Order the soldiers to crush that Mongolian tribe."
After hearing this, the most excited person was Zhao Linger. A tribe of two or three thousand people, this is a big fish, it must be very satisfying to kill it.
Zhang Wuji and others were unstoppable, leading the way. The deafening sound of horse hooves made every Ming army soldier extremely excited.
For hundreds of years, they were the only group of Han people who could roam freely on the northern grasslands.
The Ming army soldiers marched very quickly, and this nomadic tribe was surrounded before they could understand what was happening.
The shouts and cries of killing resounded through the sky in an instant.
When Zhou Zhiruo persuaded Zhang Wuji to rise up against the Yuan Dynasty, she said something.
In such troubled times, there are no innocent people anymore.
This is true for the Han people and the Mongolians as well.
Or perhaps, as long as you are a human being, it is like this.
This was a massacre that was extremely simple. This Mongolian tribe had almost no chance to resist.
Sixty thousand people surrounded and suppressed two or three thousand people, most of whom were women and elderly people.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.
For Zhang Wuji, this battle went more smoothly than he had imagined.
After getting off the horse, Zhang Wuji extended his hand to Zhao Linger on the horse: "Sister, did you enjoy the killing just now?"
Zhao Linger smiled and took Zhang Wuji's hand. After getting off the horse, she said, "Young Master, there are only two things in my life that can make me happy. The first one is to fight with you on the battlefield like now."
"As for the second thing, it's to make love with you."
Zhou Zhiruo, who was not far away, did not hear all of Zhao Linger's words, but she only heard the four words "turn the world upside down".
She said to Zhao Linger with a look of contempt: "You are so shameless. At this time, you are still thinking about things in bed. We have only been out for a short time. You are the queen after all. Can't you be more reserved?"
Zhao Linger laughed and said, "Be reserved. What's there to be reserved about in front of the young master?"
"We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so why do we always pretend to be noble? Who are we pretending for?"
