"Cough cough ~"
Zhu Rong coughed lightly and looked at Tang Yalan."But Miao Yun and I are already engaged, and she has also been confirmed as King Wu's wife. Are you sure you still want to marry me?”
Tang Yalan's identity was not simple. Although Tang He was only a marquis now, Zhu Xi knew very well that when he returned from the southern expedition, Tang He would be conferred the title of Duke Xin.
How can the eldest daughter of the Duke of the State be a concubine?
"I'd rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre person's wife!”
Tang Yalan smiled and said calmly,"So what if it's a secondary consort? I'm willing."
"Besides, I don't dare to fight with the eldest daughter of the Xu family for the main wife. I can't afford to offend her!”
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Rong was stunned. In his opinion, Tang Yalan was much more terrifying than Xu Miaoyun, but why did Tang Yalan say the opposite?
"Your Highness Wu Wang, you underestimate female students too much.”
Tang Yalan patted Zhu Rong's shoulder and smiled.""Although I'm smart, I can't compare to the female student. But don't worry, the female student's intelligence will only be of help to you.”
Seeing Tang Yalan's genuine expression, Zhu Xi was stunned.
Was the eldest daughter of the Xu family really that scary?
It seemed, probably, maybe it was true.
Otherwise, Xu Miaoyun wouldn't be the head of the Xu family. Even Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, would be docile under his daughter's rule.
Zhu Rong came to a realization.
Just like how she treated Tang Yalan, Zhu Rong was also preoccupied with Xu Miaoyun.
Because Xu Miaoyun had always been soft and weak in front of him, causing others to take pity on her. Who would have thought that such a girl was so terrifying?
However, there was one thing that Tang Yalan should be right about.
Xu Miaoyun would never hurt him.
Thinking about how he had been fooled by two women, Zhu Xiong felt aggrieved.
"No, I only need one smart woman by my side. I can't have a second one.”
Zhu Xiong swore in his heart.
There was no way he could escape from Xu Miaoyun. After all, they were already husband and wife.
However, Tang Yalan still had room for negotiation. Even if the matter was exposed to Old Zhu's mother, Zhu Rong would never agree to marry Tang Yalan.
Wasn't it just touching and hugging? There was no real relationship. Besides, was it his fault that such a misunderstanding had happened? Was Tang Yalan not at fault at all?
No, she was wrong too.
Even if Old Zhu wanted to appease Tang He, he would at most give him a beating.
Between a beating and a pillow person who could see through his heart, Zhu Xiong chose the former without hesitation.
It wasn't like he hadn't been beaten by Old Zhu before. Besides, with the gentle Minmin Moore helping to apply the medicine, it wasn't too bad.
Beiping Camp.
When Zhu Xiong returned with his men, he asked them to announce the results of this battle.
Soon, the news of the 500 cavalrymen wiping out 3,000 Northern Yuan cavalrymen spread throughout the military camp.
The morale of the soldiers rose a lot in an instant.
Many people rubbed their fists, wishing they could immediately go to the battlefield and fight the Northern Yuan Tartars.
....
In the central tent.
Xu Da was checking the military report when he suddenly heard a ruckus outside.
"What's going on outside? Go and take a look!"
Xu Da raised his head and ordered his personal guard.
"Yes, Great General!"
The personal guard left after receiving the order and returned not long after.
"Great General, good news!”
"A great victory?"
Xu Da was stunned for a moment. They hadn't even started fighting yet, so how could they have won?
Wait, could it be
Xu Da suddenly thought of something. Coincidentally, at this moment, the personal guard spoke again.
" It's General Tang and General Zhu. They led 500 light cavalry and wiped out 3,000 Northern Yuan light cavalry. They seized a total of 1,235 Mongolian stallion horses. At this moment, the morale in the camp is high, and the soldiers can't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.”
"I understand. You can leave now!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the personal guard left, Xu Da sat on the chair in a daze.
They were all wiped out. They were really wiped out. It was simply unbelievable.
Although he knew that Zhu Rong was very capable, he did not believe that the people Zhu Rong brought with him could wipe out all 3,000 Northern Yuan light cavalry. After all, they were not on the same level.
The reason why he dared to let Zhu Xiong bring his men there despite knowing the disparity in their battle prowess was because Xu Da knew that this lone army would not linger in battle. As long as they were discovered by the Great Ming army, they would flee north without any hesitation.
In other words, Xu Da had never thought of leaving this lone army behind. From the beginning to the end, his plan was only to chase them away.
He never thought that Zhu Xiong would give him such a big surprise.
Just as Xu Da was grinning from ear to ear, Zhu Rong came in.
"Haha, Zhu the Fifth, oh Zhu the Fifth, you really gave me a big surprise!”
Xu Da pulled Zhu Rong's hand and sat down at the side. He smiled and said,""Come, tell me, how did you do it?”
"Uncle Xu, please don't say that. This isn't my credit alone. It's the result of everyone's hard work.”
Hearing this, Zhu Xiong waved his hands.
"You are really considerate of your subordinates. Don't worry, those who follow you on this expedition will be rewarded according to their merits.”
"You can tell me now, right?" Xu Da said with a smile.”
"Actually, it's very simple. I just used the mentality of these three thousand Northern Yuan light cavalry to set a trap for them.”
"What do you mean?"
Xu Da asked.
"Didn't this lone army come south to plunder or destroy the rations of the Duke of Cao's army?”
"Then I'll use this to set a trap.”
"When I went to investigate, I found a perfect ambush terrain, so I used fake grain to attract the Northern Yuan light cavalry.”
"The fake grain cart is loaded with specially processed gunpowder bags. As long as it is ignited, it will explode violently. At the same time, I asked Zhu Neng to add many broken blades inside. When it explodes, the power of these broken blades will be more terrifying than explosives.”
"When the Northern Yuan light cavalry approached the fake grain convoy, I ignited the gunpowder with a rocket and directly blew up the 3,000 light cavalry until half of their bodies were paralyzed. Their combat strength was reduced to less than 10%. The next step was very simple. 500 strong men against a group of defeated soldiers, it was easy.”
After Xu Da heard this, his face revealed a deep look of admiration.
Although Zhu Xiong said it easily, it was extremely difficult to actually do it.
This plan of his was almost a combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people. It was the best plan.
Originally, Xu Da had thought that the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was already a rare seedling. Only now did he realize that his son-in-law was truly terrifying.
This was a cunning general. No one could guess his thoughts, but he could often give the enemy a fatal blow.
If he brought Zhu Rong to Mobei by accident, he might become a key figure in this northern expedition.
Just as Zhu Rong finished speaking, a valiant figure appeared in the tent.
"Uncle Xu, thank you for your convenience.”
Tang Yalan said without any rhyme or reason, but Xu Da continued.
"Your father has never begged me in his life. This is the first time he has asked, so how can I refuse?”
Xu Da looked at Tang Yalan and then at Zhu Rong. He smiled and said,"It seems that you have already confirmed your feelings.”
"Yes, Uncle Xu!"
Zhu Xi was speechless.
He felt like he had been hit a hundred times
Although Tang Yalan and Xu Da's conversation seemed to have no beginning or end, when the two of them were talking, their gazes would occasionally glance at him.
Zhu Rong was not a fool. How could he not see that these two people had colluded long ago?
Xu Da knew about Tang Yalan's so-called test from the beginning to the end.
Zhu Rong was about to cry.
My dear father-in-law, why are you acting as me too!
