The reason why the generals were able to ask such a question.
It was them who were really anxious.
Such a rare opportunity.
After capturing it, he would be able to completely defeat this 600,000-strong army.
Just like how Xie An fought against Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty.
Li Jinglong's 600,000-strong army had completely lost their fighting strength.
On the other side, Li Jinglong was in a terrible state.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of gold.
He immediately shouted,
"What happened?"
"Who told you to ring the bell?"
"Who's so bold to actually dare to pass down a false military order!”
A soldier walked in from outside the tent and said to Li Jinglong,"
"General, the rebel soldiers have retreated."
"This golden chime is the signal."
Hearing the soldier's words, Li Jinglong's originally flustered face immediately revealed a look of joy."
"Retreat?"
"The rebel soldiers have really retreated?"
The soldier nodded and confirmed his statement.
Li Jinglong immediately threw his head back and laughed.
Then, he continued,
"Hmph, this Yue Fan knows his limits and knows that he is no match for this general.”
"We only dare to sneak attack for a while before retreating.”
"At least he's tactful."
When the rest of the people in the tent heard that Li Jinglong could actually say such shameless words, they were also very speechless.
At the same time, he was also very puzzled by Zhu Zhe's sudden retreat.
These people were not trash like Li Jinglong.
He naturally understood that if Zhu Zhe did not retreat, it was very likely that he would have defeated these 600,000 strong army.
Even if they couldn't defeat it, they could at least achieve several times more results.
At that time, even if he defended, it would be much easier than stopping now.
It wasn't just the generals on both sides who were confused.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, was very confused.
He didn't know why Old Eighteen would make such a choice when he clearly had the advantage.
Looking at the current situation, as long as Zhu Zhe killed a few more people.
Li Jinglong's army would immediately flee.
And once they started to flee, the entire army would be defeated like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger until it eventually caused an avalanche.
At that time, let alone crusade against Zhu Zhe, whether he, Li Jinglong, could safely return to the capital alive was still a different story.
Zhu Zhe's generals also understood this principle.
He continued to persuade Zhu Zhe,
"Your Highness, take advantage of the fact that the enemy has yet to react.”
"We still have a chance to counterattack.”
"Once they react, we'll regroup into formation.”
"We won't have any chance to take advantage of it.”
Everyone was earnestly persuading Zhu Zhe.
However, Zhu Zhe was completely unmoved.
Not long after these people set off, Zhu Zhe set off together with the people here.
The so-called music and dance was just to appease the hearts of the people in the residence.
After learning that Li Jinglong's army had been scattered by his own men, he was shocked.
Zhu Zhe decisively ordered the soldiers to retreat.
He did not let his subordinates continue to pursue.
Facing everyone's questions, Zhu Zhe said unhurriedly,
"What's the hurry? Sit down and have some tea.”
Hearing Zhu Zhe's words, the few generals could not help but look at each other.
At this time, his highness still had the mood to drink tea.
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more anxious.
At this time, Zhu Zhe was still in the mood to drink tea. Could it be that he didn't know that by the time Li Jinglong reacted, he would be facing a catastrophe?
Everyone present knew this.
Once Li Jinglong was able to catch his breath.
Zhu Zhe would inevitably face Li Jinglong's overwhelming pressure.
Zhu Zhe said,"
"Kill what?"
"Are these people enemies?"
"These people are all capable fighters of my Great Ming.”
"It's the power Imperial Father left behind to protect Great Ming.”
"The stupid ones are Zhu Yunwen and Li Jinglong, not these Ming soldiers.”
"What good will it do us to kill them?”
"If we continue to fight, we can certainly defeat all these soldiers.”
"But a defeated army is not as good as a bandit.”
"We're fine here.”
"Wouldn't we become hundreds of thousands of bandits?”
"The people of Ming have just recovered from the oppression and exploitation of the Yuan people for a few days.”
"Do I want to drag these people back into the chaos of war for a so-called victory?”
"How innocent are the people? How can this king endure it?"
Hearing Zhu Zhe's words, everyone lowered their heads.
He did not expect that His Highness the King of Yue would have such considerations.
It was because his thoughts were too shallow and he did not consider more levels.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhe's words, he was also stunned on the spot.
It was really rare for Old Eighteen to have such a benevolent heart.
Zhu Zhe took a sip of tea and continued,
"Moreover, these soldiers are all people who are good at fighting in Great Ming.”
"If I just throw it here like this, this king can't bear to do it.”
"Not to mention that in the north of our Great Ming, there are still Mongolians who have always been eyeing Great Ming.”
"If Great Ming loses these hundreds of thousands of troops.”
"Once the Mongolian spies find out about this, we will be able to escape.”
"This king believes that the Mongolians will seize this opportunity to invade the south.”
"At that time, the Great Ming Empire will be unstable, and the entire Central Plains will very likely fall into the flames of war again.”
"This isn't the result this king wants to see.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhe's words, he could not help but gasp.
He had been watching the battle for so long, but he had not thought of this.
This son of his was at the southernmost tip of Ming, but he could see the situation in the north clearly.
Indeed, he had underestimated Zhu Zhe's ability previously.
However, these generals under Zhu Zhe did not think so.
"But wangye, you are only thinking about the court and Ming.”
"Why don't you think about yourself?”
"Wait until Li Jinglong comes to his senses and gathers 600,000 soldiers to attack.”
"I'm afraid we won't have such a good opportunity.”
Zhu Zhe shook his head and said,"
"This king and Zhu Yunwen's matter is still a family matter.”
"Everything can be discussed behind closed doors.”
"But the Mongolians are an insult to the outside world. I won't give them any chance.”
"Brothers quarreling over the wall and resisting external aggression is what I should consider.”
Hearing Zhu Zhe's words, these generals still did not have any big reactions.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, was almost moved to tears.
Everything he did was just to protect himself.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt ashamed.
He had misunderstood Old Eighteen previously.
Old Eighteen had never thought of rebelling.
Even if Old Eighteen killed the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court.
The generals under him also felt admiration for Zhu Zhe."
"Your Highness is in a desperate situation, but you still consider the Great Ming Empire.”
"We don't have as many as your highness."
"But, Your Highness, how should we deal with Li Jinglong's next move?”
Dreams were dreams, and reality was reality.
No matter how much Zhu Zhe thought about Da Ming, he couldn't change the outcome of Li Jinglong, who had finally recovered from his anger, attacking him with the momentum of Mount Tai.
At that time, he would really be a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
After Zhu Zhe heard these people's words, he did not panic in the slightest.
Instead, he said to everyone,
"Don't worry, generals. Li Jinglong will soon retreat.”
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned on the spot. He did not know what Zhu Zhe was up to.
