Qingzhou Gate, Dashi Pass.
The vast desert outside the pass was filled with the two hundred thousand imperial court troops.
In the main tent of the central army, Xu Zuhui was discussing with a group of court generals how to break through the Great Stone Pass.
At this moment, a general rushed to the tent and cupped his hands."Marshal, according to Qing Zhou's secret agents, the rebel Zhu Xianfeng has personally led 120,000 troops into the Great Stone Pass.”
"Zhu Xianfeng?" Xu Zuhui could not help but frown when he heard that."Wasn't the one who rebelled in Qingzhou King Zhu Xi?”
"Marshal, the leader of the Qingzhou rebellion is not King Qi, but his youngest son, Zhu Xianfeng.”
"What is it? How could he become the leader at such a young age and even take down the Ji 'nan Prefecture in such a short time?”
Xu Zuhui's eyes flashed with shock.
His impression of Zhu Xianfeng was still from seven years ago.
At that time, Zhu Xianfeng could be said to be a frequent visitor to the Duke of Wei's estate. He played with Xu Yun all day long and looked completely like an innocent child.
He didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, he would become the leader of Jingnan who stirred up the world.
This…was this possible?
Soon, the military marquis answered Xu Zuhui's question,""The investigation of the secret agents is absolutely correct. The person who killed the Embroidered Uniform Guards and took down the Jinan Prefecture was Zhu Xianfeng!”
When the generals heard this, they all started discussing.
"Marshal, I heard that His Highness the Regional King was once your son-in-law. Why don't you write a letter and ask him to turn hostility into friendship?”
"But this kid has guts. Not only did he not surrender when he heard that the Imperial Court's army was coming, he even dared to lead the army to resist.”
"You have guts? I saw this kid in the Duke of Wei Residence back then. He couldn't stand being scared at all. He peed his pants when he was scared!”
"In that case, isn't the pacification of the rebellion a success?”
Facing the optimism of the generals, Xu Zuhui's expression became more and more solemn.
If what the secret agents said was correct, then this former son-in-law was probably a shocking hidden dragon!
At such a young age, he was actually able to seize the opportunity to strike back at the Imperial Court.
And with extreme speed, they took down the Ji 'nan Prefecture and took over the entire Qing Province.
His methods were both experienced and sharp, better than other vassal kings.
Zhu Xianfeng was only seventeen years old!
If he was allowed to grow for a few more years, the entire Great Ming might really be swallowed by him.
Thinking of this, Xu Zuhui said decisively,"Generals, you must not underestimate Zhu Xianfeng. I want to send an envoy to the Great Stone Pass to investigate his situation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dignified general immediately stood up and cupped his hands."Marshal, I, Sheng Yong, am willing to meet Zhu Xianfeng at Big Stone Pass!”
"Good!"
Xu Zuhui's gaze fell on Sheng Yong.""General Sheng, you can use the excuse of appeasing the soldiers to test the morale of the Qingzhou Army!”
"I accept your orders!"
Sheng Yong said and walked out of the tent.
"Soldiers, when General Sheng returns, we will continue to discuss the matter of attacking the Great Stone Pass.”
"Yes, sir!"
The generals bowed and walked out of the tent.
On the other side of the tent, a handsome soldier was listening closely.
Seeing the generals walk out, a trace of panic flashed across the soldier's handsome face, and he hid into the depths of the stronghold like a frightened deer.
"Big brother, I want to go to the Great Stone Pass with General Sheng Yong.”
"Little sister, can you stop fooling around? If father knew, he would definitely beat me to death.”
"Don't worry, I just want to enter the Great Stone Pass to see Xianfeng. I'll be back with General Sheng Yong in two hours at most.”
"No, you can't. Letting you go out with the army is already risking the world's condemnation, and you still ran to see the son of the traitor?”
"I don't care. If you don't help me, I'll die in front of you!”
"Here you go again. Can you stop threatening Big Brother?”
In a military tent.
The handsome soldier was arguing with a young general.
They were none other than Xu Zuhui's children, Xu Qin and Xu Yun.
That day, after Xu Yun begged her father to let her go out with the army and refused, she went to find her eldest brother, Xu Qin.
After much persuasion, Xu Qin refused to agree no matter what.
Thus, she could only force him to die.
In the end, Xu Qin was really helpless and could only agree to let her go out with the army.
However, what Xu Qin did not expect was that his little sister actually wanted to go to Big Stone Pass to meet Zhu Xianfeng privately.
Now that the battle was imminent, how could he dare to take such a risk?
"Big Brother, you know my personality. I will do what I say!”
Xu Yun, who had transformed into a handsome pawn, pulled out her dagger and placed it on her fair neck.
Seeing this, Xu Qin hurriedly shouted,"Little sister, let's talk things out. Hurry up and put down the dagger!"”
"I won't!"
As she spoke, Xu Yun pushed the dagger in her hand, and a bloody wound appeared on her fair neck.
"Okay, okay, okay. I promise you, okay? Put down the dagger quickly!"
"You better not lie to me, or else…"
"I'm not lying, but you have to promise me that you'll come back with General Sheng after meeting Zhu Xianfeng!”
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
Xu Qin, who doted on his sister crazily, could only bitterly leave the tent!
