"Everyone, this is indeed my eighth brother…"
At this moment, Prince Yan Zhu Di also stepped forward and said.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhen and was quite shocked. Zhu Zhen had grown up a little in the past few days. With this speed, it was no wonder that others were shocked.
Other people would treat each other differently after three days of separation, but Zhu Zhen would not recognize each other after three days.
"It's really the King of Wei. This is too…miraculous.”
"Rumor has it that the birth of the King of Wei caused a phenomenon. It seems that this rumor is true. This child is really not an ordinary person.”
"To be able to make a white tiger his pet, this child is clearly extraordinary.”
……………………
Everyone looked at each other. When the King of Yan came out to verify it, Zhu Zhen's identity was confirmed. However, this clearly made it difficult for these people to calm down. Looking at Zhu Zhen, their hearts were endlessly shocked.
"Everyone, do you still have any doubts? Do you still have any doubts about the King of Wei being my vanguard?”
Xu Da looked at the shocked expressions of his old brothers and asked with a smile on his face.
These old fellows finally understood his feelings of being shocked by the heavens, yet they still doubted Zhu Zhen.
"No, no…"
How could the few of them still dare to question it at this time? They immediately thought of the various rumors they had heard about Zhu Zhen in the past few days. At first, they did not believe it, but now that they had seen it with their own eyes, even a blind person could see that this evil was definitely real.
Just by looking at Zhu Zhen's three white tigers, if these three white tigers were to be dragged onto the battlefield, they would probably be able to scare the enemy half to death in minutes.
"Alright, since the King of Wei is here, let's begin.”
Xu Da swept his gaze over and saw that everyone had arrived. He immediately began the last military meeting.
Zhu Zhen was obediently sitting in his seat. Xu Miaoyun was sitting beside him. On the other hand, Zhu Di was now Xu Da's personal guard. He could only stand behind Xu Da without a seat. This treatment was clearly inferior to Zhu Zhen.
In front of him was a huge military sandbox. This was the first time Zhu Zhen had seen such an ancient military sandbox. To be honest, Zhu Zhen was very shocked. This sand table was very detailed. Even the mountains, rivers, lakes, and rivers were on it. The roads were also very clear, and even the small paths were marked.
Although it couldn't be compared to the satellite maps of the later generations, it was already very impressive to be able to make such a sandbox in this era. He had to admit that the wisdom of the ancient people couldn't be underestimated.
Zhu Zhen listened attentively throughout the entire meeting, and Xu Miaoyun would explain to him from the side.
This also allowed Zhu Zhen to have a new understanding of this female student. He thought to himself, No wonder Zhu Di liked Xu Miaoyun so much in history. She was capable of both literature and martial arts. She could manage the household with literature and govern the country with martial arts. It was no wonder that such a strange woman had the good name of a female student.
After the entire meeting ended, Zhu Zhen finally understood the plan for this northern expedition to Mobei.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang had given a total of 150,000 troops to the northern expedition. Xu Da was the commander of the middle army and the general of the expedition.
The middle army had 50,000 people, and Tang He was the right deputy general. Lan Yu was originally the vanguard, but now he was replaced by Zhu Zhen, so Zhu Zhen became the vanguard general of the middle army. The plan of the middle army was to set off from Yingtian, pass through Shanxi, and then go north from Yanmen, into the Gobi Desert, and then fight with Lin, the new ruler of Northern Yuan, Aiyou Shili Dala, and Wang Baobao.
Apart from Xu Da's middle army, there were two other armies. One was the east army, and the east army had Li Wenzhong as the left deputy general.
Li Wenzhong would go north from Juyong Pass. His goal was to be a surprise army. His direct goal was to attack the enemy when they were unprepared. He would go all the way north and attack Northern Yuan's Royal Court in Lin.
In addition, there was another army, the West Army. The commander of the West Army was Feng Sheng. He was the West Conquering General, and the deputy commanders were Fu Youde and Chen De.
The west army would advance west along the Hexi Corridor and then attack Gansu directly. However, the purpose of the west army was not to attack the city but to confuse and contain the Northern Yuan forces.
Northern Yuan was in the northwest region, and the Mongol kings were gathered here. This force could not be underestimated. Therefore, Feng Sheng, who was acting as a distraction, wanted to prevent the Mongol kings from helping Mobei.
The east and west armies each had 50,000 men, so the three armies had a total of 150,000.
These three armies had a common destination, and that was Lin. Helin was now the nest of Northern Yuan. Aiyou, Shili, and Wang Baobao's forces were all in Helin.
What Zhu Yuanzhang wanted this time was to split the three armies into three different directions and then directly attack Huanglong to kill Northern Yuan. As long as Helin was captured and Aiyou Shili Dala and Wang Baobao were captured or strangled, the last remaining power of the Yuan Dynasty would be completely eliminated.
"Unfortunately, this plan failed in the end.”
After Zhu Zhen knew the entire plan, he could not help but sigh in his heart.
This plan was indeed impressive, but unfortunately, the conquest of Northern Yuan ended in failure. Zhu Zhen remembered that he had read the relevant content. It seemed that underestimating the enemy had led to the defeat of the middle army. If it wasn't for Xu Da's prompt decision to retreat and Wang Baobao not daring to advance rashly, Xu Da's heroic reputation would have been destroyed in this northern expedition.
However, it was obviously different this time because there was an additional variable this time. This variable was none other than Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen's appearance meant that history would not repeat itself. Zhu Zhen wanted to completely destroy Northern Yuan in this Northern Expedition.
"Everyone, this northern expedition is of great significance. If we can succeed, then the last forces of the Yuan Dynasty will be uprooted by us. The emperor is determined to win this battle. I hope that everyone can work together and we can accomplish this great thing together.”
After Xu Da finished the military meeting, he finally mobilized the soldiers. In an instant, the general's aura changed and he swept his gaze over everyone.
"We respect the Great General's order!"
Everyone cupped their fists and shouted.
"Alright, everyone return to the camp. Three days later, the three armies will set off at the same time.”
"Yes, sir!"
The generals acknowledged and immediately returned to their own camps.
"Your Highness the King of Wei!"
Xu Da looked at Zhu Zhen.
"Great General."
"Your Highness the King of Wei, since you have already joined my army, from today onwards, you are no longer the King of Wei, but the vanguard of my army. Therefore, from today onwards, you must obey our military orders. Wherever the military orders go, you must obey them. Can you do that?”
Xu Da's gaze was solemn as he looked at Zhu Zhen.
"Yes, I can!"
