"However, this one needs His Majesty to do it personally to be effective?" Xiao Yun took advantage of the discussion and threw out another bombshell.

"What, let Your Majesty go in person, are you crazy?" Feng Sheng sneered.

Xiao Yun said in his heart: "Your grandpa, you didn't ask you to go, why are you anxious? Besides, with your temperament, it will be useless if you go?" But he naturally couldn't say this, not to mention Feng Sheng's current status,

Even without these false ones, he would not easily offend someone. It would be fine to offend a gentleman, but villains are very troublesome. He said kindly: "On the one hand, doing this shows that my Ming Dynasty surrendered to Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi.

On the other hand, his sincerity also puts pressure on both of them. With the reputation and status of His Majesty today, how many people in the world can refuse his invitation?"

"This-?" Feng Sheng was slightly stunned, trying to refute a few words, but after thinking about it carefully, the same is true.

"This brother Xiao is really bold. Every time he is so unexpected, but he has to admire him?" Xu Da sighed and said, "This method is not something I can do, but

I will give this method to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty decide?"

On that day, the scout Xu Daling sent the results of the meeting to Yingtian as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict came faster. In addition to commending Xiao Yun, a soldier who failed to fight, he defeated others without fighting.

In addition to praise his approach, he also unexpectedly asked Xu Da's army to rush to Guanzhong to wait for his good news!

This result not only surprised everyone, but also made Xiao Yun very proud. He said to everyone, "Your Majesty is better to know the goods!" He only made Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others so angry that he was so angry.

, but there is nothing we can do about it.

A few days later, everyone could hear a relatively interesting news that after receiving the suggestion from Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent an envoy to recruit the Yuan army, but the envoy went but never returned. Zhu Yuanzhang wrote to Li Siqi and said

: "My messenger has not come back yet. Could it be that you detained him? A real man is open and honest in his work. How can you ruin your reputation so much? You now have a good geographical location and many soldiers and generals, but your subordinates are very disunited

, each has selfish intentions, and it is impossible to stick to your position with you. If you don’t take the opportunity to become king now, it will be too late to wait until I occupy the entire Central Plains. Please think carefully, if you figure it out, I will definitely give generous gifts.

Treat each other, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Li Siqi was a little shaken when he read the book of surrender, but his adopted son Zhao Qi was unwilling to surrender. He suggested that Li Siqi flee west to Tubo and temporarily avoid the edge of the Ming army. If the general situation changes and seeks progress again, he will still be an important official of Zhongxing.

Siqixin was moved and finally agreed, so he did not surrender to the Ming army because of this.

The news cannot be said to be good or bad, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very proud of his face, was very angry and sent someone to send an order to Xu Da lead the army to attack Li Siqi that day.

Learning that it was useless to talk, Xu Da immediately used his deputy generals Chang Yuchun and Feng Zongyi as advance troops to cross the Yellow River to capture Shaanxi. After one day, Xu Da led his army to cross the river from Puzhou, and entered Pucheng, and forced him to surrender to Yuanguo.

Shi Cheng, the city garrison general, fled to Qingyang (now Gansu). The Ming army occupied Qingyang without fighting, and then attacked Li Siqi's old nest Fengyuan.

Learning that Xu Da had led a large army to Fengyuan (now Xi'an, Shaanxi), Zhang Liangbi originally wanted to lead troops to help Fengyuan, but when he heard that the general Guo Xing of the court came, he was so scared that he ran away and ran away. Fengyuan, who was isolated and helpless, was very It was soon occupied. After the garrison general Hamatu escaped, his life was taken by local militias. After that, the Ming army discovered that there was a famine in Guanzhong, so Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da to each family to deliver life-saving food, and soon It won the hearts of the people.

On the 12th, Chang Yuchun led his troops to Fengxiang, Li Siqi fled to Lintao (now Gansu), and Fengxiang won without fighting. It happened that news came from the front line that Fu Youde captured Fengzhou. Given the geographical location of Fengzhou, Xu Da Move troops to camp in Fengzhou.

Since Fengzhou had just been captured, everything was still chaotic, with people walking around everywhere, people making fire and making meals, tents, and wiping weapons. There was a constant sound of chanting tools everywhere, which seemed lively.

At this time, Xu Da was discussing the next step of the march with the generals of the Northern Expedition.

"What do you think about the current situation?" Xu Da asked with a glance at everyone.

Guo Ying, who was a little impatient, said: "Zhang Liangbi's military strength in Qingyang is not as strong as Li Siqi. In terms of boosting morale, the last general thought it would be better to take Qingyang first and then attack Lintao."

Xu Da thought about it but shook his head and said, "Lintao has always been a strategic location for controlling Longshu. Qin built the Great Wall to control the troubles of southern herds. Shu Jiang Wei left Didao to disturb Guanlong, and the Wei people occupied Didao. , Jiang Wei was unable to succeed. Tang Geshuhan was in the border area, Song Wangshao comforted the Xihe River, and Taohe River was the must-fight place. This place was connected to the west, Rong, the north border river, Huang, and the people were brave and abundant. Li Siqi is good at governing the army. If he has been based here for a long time, wins the hearts of the people and recruits soldiers, it is afraid it will be difficult to conquer!"

Feng Sheng echoed: "The general's words are reasonable. Once Li Siqi is allowed to sit firmly in Lintao, it will be a big problem. Once Lintao is defeated, Qingyang will definitely defeat it!"

The generals nodded one after another.

Chang Yuchun said: "Now our army is 300,000. Since the Northern Expedition, we have conquered Shandong, Henan, Dadu and Taiyuan. Although there are obstacles, it is very smooth. It can be said that it is unstoppable. All the Tartars fled and were defeated. As strong as Wang Baobao, he also defeated Taiyuan. It can be said that he has a great blow to the Tartars. Today, our army is powerful, so we might as well divide the troops into two groups and conquer Qingyang and Lintao at the same time, drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains as soon as possible and complete the great cause of unification of Your Majesty! ”

Xu Da still shook his head and said, "What Brother Chang said was originally meant that most of our soldiers lived in the south. Many soldiers came here this time, but they were not suitable for the local conditions. Moreover, Guanzhong was managed by Li Siqi and Zhang Mabi for many years and should not be underestimated. If you divide the troops, you are afraid that it will be detrimental to our army, so you should defeat them one by one!”

"Yes, this time the Tartars must be trapped and fighting, but they are not careless!" Fu Youde echoed.

When Chang Yuchun saw everyone agreeing, he stopped saying anything.

The next plan has been decided, and Xu Da ordered the army to go west and conquer Longzhou (now Longxian County, Shaanxi), Qinzhou (now Tianshui West in Gansu), Fuqiang (now Gansu Gangu) and other places. ) Afterwards, the troops were divided into two groups, one led by Feng Zongyi to advance to Lintao; the other was led by the governor and the general Gu Shi, and the other was led by the advance to Lanzhou to cut off Li Siqi's way back to the desert.

In this way, the Ming army formed a three-sided siege of Lintao.
