After all, although our Great Ming Dynasty needs to recuperate at this moment, our army is still very strong, and in the north, Fu Youde has trained an army of more than 100,000 to 200,000.
Therefore, even if Goryeo and Northern Yuan were to unite, they wouldn't easily attack the northern borders of the Ming Dynasty. I suspect that even if they did take such action, it would be under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives.
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't a fool; he immediately understood Zhu Yunwen's meaning and said:

"You see things very clearly; you seem to have grasped all of the fourth brother's thoughts."
Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly and said nothing more.
