Xuan Manor.
General's mansion.
In the study room, the general of the garrison, Yang Hong, was currently changing his expression.
Opposite Yang Hong, a handsome young man with a noble aura sat with a smile.
The man held a folding fan in his hand and the handle of the fan in his right hand. He gently tapped the fan's ribs on his left palm with a relaxed expression on his face.
Contrary to the young man, Yang Hong's expression was solemn.
At this moment, Yang Hong already knew that the Great Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen was leading 200,000 troops and was personally heading towards the Xuan Manor.
Moreover, Yang Hong had vaguely received news that Zhu Qizhen would make a move against him.
Yang Hong had two sons. His legitimate son was called Yang Jie. He was weak and sickly. He lay in bed all year round and did not even have the ability to carry on the family line.
Yang Hong's eldest son was previously the general of the horse camp of the border town. Because of Yang Jie's health, Yang Hong had placed high hopes on Yang Jun and nurtured him as the successor.
What Yang Hong didn't expect was that the Wala people would suddenly attack Da Ming, and his son Yang Jun would directly flee, causing the horse camp to fall.
Yang Hong was worried that the court would punish Yang Jun, so he concealed this information.
For Yang Jun, Yang Hong even protected the guards of Lone Stone and Dragon Gate.
Now, according to the news that Yang Hong had received, the matter had been exposed.
Moreover, the Great Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen was about to personally punish his son and even him.
Of course, part of this information was obtained by Yang Hong through his connections in the army, and the other part was obtained from the young man in front of him.
Thinking of this, Yang Hong looked at the young man in front of him and said in a deep voice,"Prince Huo Du, you said that the emperor is preparing to deal with me. Do you have any evidence? I have guarded the Xuan Manor for many years. Even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. I have not made any major mistakes. Moreover, wasn't he worried about a mutiny in the Xuan Manor? Are you trying to deceive me?"
It turned out that the young man in front of Yang Hong was the prince of the side branch of the Golden Family, Huo Du.
The Dayuan Empire was not ready to start a war against the Great Ming Empire yet, so they sent Huo Du and the others to incite the Wala tribes to attack the Great Ming Empire.
On one hand, it was to test Da Ming, and on the other hand, it was to let the Wala people exhaust Da Ming's strength.
What Huo Du and the people of Da Yuan did not expect was that the Wala people had just fought with the Ming Dynasty and had defeated the Ming Dynasty, causing the Ming Emperor to flee.
After learning of this news, the entire Da Yuan could not help but be restless. They had even begun to plan. When the Wala and Da Ming were almost done fighting, they should send troops to collect the results of the battle.
However, just as the Great Ming Empire was about to suffer a crushing defeat and even the Great Ming Emperor was surrounded, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!
Wala Yexian's 110,000 troops were all wiped out by Da Ming!
Ala Zhiyuan, Tuotuo Buhua, and Le Chu also ran away!
This sudden change in the situation caused the entire Da Ming to cheer, but it was definitely not a good thing for Da Yuan.
As the commander of the operation sent by Da Yuan, Huo Du was naturally unwilling to accept the failure of this mission.
Therefore, Huo Du was not in a hurry to leave Big Ming. Instead, he let his subordinates carefully inquire about the news.
Then, Huo Du realized that this general guarding Xuan Manor might be one of the important breakthroughs!
Now that the plan to rely on Wala to weaken Great Ming's strength could not be carried out, then he would change the plan and let the people within Great Ming engage in internal friction!
If Yang Hong led the Xuan Manor's army to ambush Zhu Qizhen, then no matter what the outcome was, it would be extremely beneficial to Dayuan.
If Yang Hong's ambush succeeded and he took down Zhu Qizhen, or even killed him, then there would definitely be chaos in Great Ming.
In this way, the goal of weakening Da Ming's strength was achieved!
Upon hearing Yang Hong's words, Huo Du waved his right hand gently and immediately opened his folding fan. He smiled and said," General Yang, are you deceiving yourself?”
"When the Wala attacked Ming, Dushi, Ma Ying, and Dragon Guard either collapsed in one battle or fled without fighting. They gave the pass to the Wala people, allowing the Wala army to easily charge into Ming's hinterland. Because of this, the Great Ming side suffered a great defeat. The Great Ming Emperor was chased until he fled in a sorry state and almost fell into the hands of the Wala people.”
"As the general guarding the Xuan Manor, you are guilty to a certain extent. Moreover, for the sake of your son, Yang Jun, you shielded these guilty generals and concealed the border intelligence. Do you think the Ming Emperor will hate you?”
"Taking a step back, even if the Ming Emperor is magnanimous and can spare your life, your future is gone. Moreover, your son, Yang Jun, is basically doomed to death! Your Yang family will also end up with no descendants because of this. You have to consider it carefully!”
When Yang Hong heard Huo Du's words, his expression immediately turned ugly.
At this moment, Yang Hong had no choice but to believe Huo Du's words.
Especially after Huo Du's last few words, even if Zhu Qizhen did not kill him, his future was bleak.
In addition, with the death of his son, Yang Jun, the Yang family would have no descendants!
Thinking of this, Yang Hong struggled painfully in his heart.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, a dull knock came from outside Yang Hong's study.
"What is it?"
Yang Hong did not get up to open the door. Instead, he asked coldly through the door.
"General, the emperor and the army are less than half a day away from the Xuan manor. Should we prepare to welcome them as soon as possible?”
Hearing Yang Hong's question, the person outside the door respectfully asked Yang Hong for instructions.
