Zhu Qi was naturally very happy that he had picked up a famous general from later generations for no reason.

But for Zhang Yu, this was the first time he had seen the legendary King of Liao. It was not the three heads and six arms I imagined, or the strange and scary monster.

Just a handsome boy with a tall figure,

But it was such a boy's decisiveness in doing things that made Zhang Yu feel unimaginable.

You should know that Zhang Yu, who surrendered from Beiyuan, came here as a surrendered general, was logically sent to Yingtian Prefecture and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give him a speech. Let me see how to arrange it?

result,

His Highness, the King of Liao, left himself directly.

Not only that, people should also be sent to visit their wives and children.

I also received this land in Liaodong.

It is clearly intended to make himself his direct line.

Zhang Yu himself had no outstanding military achievements before, and he had no reputation.

But His Highness of the Liao King is different. The entire Northern Yuan Dynasty is his legend, and the Prime Minister of Northern Yuan, Wang Baobao, was his defeated general.

Zhang Yu was grateful to him without mentioning it, and he had made up his mind to make some contributions to His Highness, the legendary King of Liao.

It naturally takes a certain amount of time to visit Zhang Yu's wife and children. Zhang Yu didn't think he would see his wife and children so soon, but thought it might take a year or two.

However, by occasional chance, I heard that His Highness of the King of Liao almost sent out nearly half of the Jinyiwei in Liaodong to go out to find his wife and children.

Zhang Yu was so moved that he could hardly speak in his heart.

Of course Zhu Qi hopes to find Zhang Yu's wife and children as soon as possible.

My wife is okay,

His son is Zhang Fu!

This is also the future famous general of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Fu, who never lost his life, was finally killed in the battlefield. It can be said that if he did not call the emperor, his achievements would definitely not be inferior to those of the founding father Xu Da.

It is naturally not difficult to find Zhang Yu’s wife and children directly using the Jinyiwei’s human wave tactics, let alone Zhang Yu’s cooperation.

Soon, the Jinyiwei found Zhang Yu's wife and his son Zhang Fu, and followed Zhu Qi's order and brought him back safely towards Liaodong.

It's probably only two or three months.

Zhu Qi also wrote a letter to Yingtian Mansion and strongly recommended Zhang Yu, a talent, to stay in Liaodong and help him defend the defense line.

As for the reasons, there is no need to make up too much. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang trusts himself very much now.

It is impossible to block too much.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu had no special military achievements or fame before.

So it is not difficult for Zhu Qi to keep him.

After leaving Zhang Yu, Zhu Qi's next thing to do was to take over the defense line built by Lan Yu with his men.

Since the last Liaodong War, the defense line of Naha has been completely contracted to the Shenzhou line, and the Ming and Yuan armies have also stood in front of each other on the north and south banks with the Liao River.

The Liaohe River's division front is extremely clear, and it is not easy to attack each other.

However, this is just what the Northern Yuan Dynasty believes. For Zhu Qi, this Liao River is not the key to blocking the march.

What blocked the Ming army's progress was the restraint of the main force of Mobei Beiyuan, as well as the cold weather in the north and the defects of the logistics supply line.

However, with the upcoming promotion of cotton planting across the country and the continuous collection of tariffs to obtain profits.

Zhu Qi believed that the future navy transportation power of the Ming Dynasty would become stronger and stronger, and with the strengthening of water power, transportation lines were no longer an important factor restricting the Ming Dynasty from attacking the north.

With a large number of sea ships to transport materials, the abundant grain output in Jiangnan and other places, as well as various weapons, metal materials, etc. can be transported to Liaodong in the shortest time to serve the Ming army's needs for combat.

But this is all a story later. Zhu Qi first took Li Qi, Xu Zengshou, and Zhang Yu, who had just been conquered, and went to the Liaohe River.

Although Zhu Qi had seen Lan Yu last time, he was not on the edge of the Liaohe defense line.

Therefore, the handover work can only be done until we go to Liaohe, and Lan Yu received the urging of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict.

So after meeting Zhu Qi and handing Zhang Yu over to Zhu Qi, he set off to return to Yingtian Mansion.

Lan Yu naturally accepted the emperor's commendation in name, but in fact he deprived Lan Yu of his military power.

As for whether you can lead troops to fight in the future, it depends on Lan Yu's performance.

However, according to what has happened in history, Lan Yu should have kept a low profile for a long time.

It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang launched the Fourth Northern Expedition against the Northern Yuan that Lan Yu would be re-activated.

So when Zhu Qi brought his men to Liaohe, he only saw two deputy generals under Lan Yu's name.

It has to be said that Lan Yu can indeed be called a famous general.

Although it only took half a year to establish a defense line in Liaodong.

But the entire Liaohe defense line has been established in an orderly and solid manner, which is not so easy for the Northern Yuan Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty.

As for Zhang Yu's level, Li Qi and Xu Zengshou were originally skeptical.

In their hearts, they naturally would not feel how powerful the generals in the Beiyuan side were.

Although Zhang Yu was attracted by His Highness the King of Liao, both of them claimed to be the disciples of His Highness the King of Liao, and each of them had a copy of Zhu Zi's Art of War.

No matter how you think about it, it's because I am more powerful!

But even though Zhang Yu didn't say much after he arrived in Liaohe, he could complete the tasks that Zhu Qi arranged for him successfully.

Not only that, he had already known Liaohe's defense after just walking around.

Moreover, Zhang Yu also knew a lot of information about the defense of the Beiyuan side. After a while, Zhang Yu's role in the Liaohe defense line was even greater than that of Lan Yu.

This expert will know if it is there any.

Zhu Qi also learned some military tactics with Xu Da. Although the actual use is not very powerful, he is familiar with military tactics with his superb memory.

After Zhang Yu arrived in Liaohe, all the suggestions he put forward for the defense line were also on the point.

Xu Zengshou and Li Qi next to him were also quite surprised. They thought they were just people who were famous, but they didn't expect that they really had real skills.

However, it was naturally very unfair to let Zhang Yu take full control of military power from the beginning.

So Zhu Qi first let Xu Zengshou stay in the Liaohe River, and Zhang Yu was Xu Zengshou's deputy general.

Although he was nominally a deputy general, Zhu Qi praised him privately, saying that he had already taught Zhang Yu in the exam. He really had real skills and great strategies.

Let Xu Zengshou listen to Zhang Yu’s opinions more when he is fine.

Xu Zengshou was a fan under Zhu Qi. He naturally nodded and agreed to what His Highness the King of Liao said.

Not to mention that Zhang Yu has shown his ability, and His Highness the King of Liao personally took the exam, so I guess the problem is not very big.

Xu Zengshou may not have particularly great skills, but his best thing is that he listens very much, so Zhu Qi was relieved to leave him here on the Liaohe side to manage military affairs.

I believe that with Xu Zengshou and Zhang Yu, Liaohe's defense will not be as good as anything to worry about.

Zhu Qi arranged the defense matters and then returned to Liaoyang with confidence.

However, Zhu Qi knew Zhang Yu's skills and could leave with confidence, but the other generals didn't know Zhang Yu's skills.

In the eyes of other generals, Zhang Yu was just a surrendered general from the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

I didn’t have any special skills in the Northern Yuan Dynasty before, nor did I have any achievements worth boasting about.

Compared with most generals in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yu's record in the Beiyuan side was really not good enough.

In fact, Zhang Yu cannot blame him. Think about the situation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. When the collapse of the late Yuan Dynasty, the combat power of the army had already reached a low point.

At this time, even if Zhang Yu gave him an army, he would not be able to defeat the high-spirited uprising army.

Not to mention the rebel army, famous generals emerged in many places.

Wang Baobao is already powerful enough, but he also defeated more and won less when he fought with the Ming army.

Since Zhang Yu surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers under his command were replaced by the Ming army, which was equivalent to a cheat, and his combat power was different.

Xu Zengshou trusted His Highness the King of Liao 100%, so he naturally followed His Highness the King of Liao's instructions and did not despise Zhang Yu at all.

The other generals, especially those deputy generals who Lan Yu stayed on the defense line, had no good feelings for Zhang Yu.

Not to mention that Zhang Yu is their defeated general, even if Xu Zengshou, the main general sent by His Highness the Liao King, was just a young and furious child.

If the Liao King Zhu Qi was in charge of Liaohe himself, they would definitely not think so, but His Highness of Liao was obviously not planning to be in Liaohe, and he had already left.

Xu Zengshou was not aware of the little abacus that these old generals were thinking. After all, he was just a young general and was not a veteran in the affairs of people's hearts and relationships, but Zhang Yu was different.

Zhang Yu's experience is much richer than Xu Zengshou, and Zhang Yu's mind is very flexible. He just looked at other people's expressions and stayed on the Liaohe defense line for two days, learned about what he saw and heard, and then he knew what the generals were thinking.

However, Zhang Yu had just surrendered, so it was hard to say bad things about the generals, so Xu Zengshou thought he was a spy sent by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Come and distract from the feelings between the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

So I just do what I should do silently.

It just so happened that not long after that day, a team from Beiyuan came to harass the Ming army's defense line in the Liaohe River.

Logically speaking, the defense line here should be the responsibility of those deputy generals.
