After leaving Marshal Xu's tent, Zhu Rong returned to his own tent.
Zhu Rong, who was lying on the bed, was still unable to fall asleep. He was thinking about the three conditions that Xu Da had proposed.
Zhu Rong was actually speechless when he heard Xu Da's three additional conditions.
He would never have thought that the dignified Xu Da would start to act shamelessly for his daughter.
This was only Xu Da. If he were to try it on another person, he would see how Zhu Rong would react. He would definitely let the other party know the dignity of the Great Ming Prince!
Of course, the reason why Zhu Xiong agreed to these three conditions was more because he was interested.
The first condition was to find the Imperial Jade Seal and the treasures of the Yuan Court.
Zhu Rong remembered that whether it was the heirloom jade seal or the treasures of the Yuan Court, they were still unsolved mysteries in the future.
If he could find them, it would be a great thing for the entire Ming Dynasty and the old man.
Therefore, Zhu Xiong decided to give it a try.
The second condition was to defeat Xu Da fair and square.
It might be very difficult for others, but for Zhu Rong, he really wanted to try.
Xu Da was known as the number one famous general of the Ming Dynasty. He had rarely lost in his entire life. To be able to fight Xu Da fair and square, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhu Xiong felt that it was a very challenging thing.
This was Zhu Xiong's way of training and tempering himself.
After all, in Zhu Rong's view, the future Great Ming would be the world of the young, and the old generals like Xu Da would eventually grow old.
In the Yangtze River, the new wave pushed the previous wave, and it was only right that each wave was stronger than the previous.
As for his generation, they still had a long future ahead of them and would face many challenges.
Therefore, Zhu Xiong wanted to challenge. Only by daring to challenge could he go further in the future.
As for the third one, Zhu Xiong didn't really care about it.
Although the third condition was the most deceptive, it was also the most unimportant.
He didn't really want to marry all three daughters of the Xu family.
Who would be so bored that they would be interested in a few little girls who were still wet behind the ears?
It was just to make things difficult for Xu Da. Who asked him to be so ruthless to his fourth brother?
"The Imperial Jade Seal and the treasures of the Yuan Court?"
"If we want to find them, the first condition is to find the Yuan Lord.”
"Now that Lin Yi has been defeated and Kuo Kuo has been captured, Northern Yuan's power exists in name only.”
"If that's the case, where will Yuan Lord escape to?”
Zhu Xiong began to think.
At the same time, he recalled some of the history of the early Ming Dynasty.
In the original history, his father had once conquered the northern grasslands.
Out of the eight expeditions to the north, the first and sixth expeditions were the ones with the greatest gains.
For the first time, the Ming Dynasty recovered all the Han lands that were occupied by the Yuan people in the north and completely recovered the Han territory.
The sixth time, Lan Yu led the army to Fish-Catching Sea. Except for the Northern Yuan Emperor who was killed by his own subordinates, the entire Northern Yuan royal family was captured by Lan Yu.
From then on, Northern Yuan's forces were completely destroyed, and the grassland returned to the era of tribal hegemony.
Zhu Rong's eyes lit up.
"Fish Catching Sea? Yes, Yuan Lord had most likely gone to the Fish-Catching Sea.”
If he could send people to set up an ambush in the Fish-Catching Sea in advance, would there be a high possibility of capturing Yuan Lord?
With this thought in mind, Zhu Rong could not take it anymore.
He suddenly sat up and shouted outside the tent,
"Men!"
"Qian Hu, what orders do you have?"
A guard from the supply camp walked in.
"Go find General Lu Heng and tell him that I have something to discuss with him.”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Lu Heng was brought to Zhu Xiong's tent.
"Wangye, you're looking for me?"
Lu Heng looked at Zhu Rong in confusion. He didn't know why this prince was looking for him so urgently in the middle of the night.
Zhu Rong smiled at Lu Heng and asked,
"Old Lu, do you want to make another great contribution?”
Lu Heng was extremely unaccustomed to being called Old Lu by Zhu Xiong. He even felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Your highness, don't call this subject like that. This subject is panicking. However, if there's anything your highness needs, just tell me. As long as this subject is able to do it, I will definitely not shirk my responsibility.”
Lu Heng said carefully.
He was now determined to follow Zhu Rong. Since Zhu Rong had given the order, he would definitely do his best.
Zhu Rong didn't play any tricks and said directly,"
"This king has a very good opportunity for you to make a contribution. It depends on whether you dare to do it.”
Lu Heng was somewhat puzzled. Now that the war was basically over, where would there be a chance to render meritorious service?
Moreover, with his current contribution points, as long as he returned to the capital, he would basically be promoted to Duke.
There was no need to cause any more trouble, right?
Of course, even though Lu Heng was thinking this, he couldn't say it out loud. Since he had already chosen to serve Zhu Rong, he would naturally do whatever Zhu Rong said.
"Your Highness, please instruct me!"
Zhu Rong said in a low voice,"
"I'm going to let you take sixty thousand men to Liaodong's Fish Catching Sea.”
"I suspect that Yuan Lord is currently fleeing towards that direction.”
Lu Heng was stunned.
"Yuan Master? He went to Liaodong to catch fish? Your Highness, is this true? How did you know?"
Zhu Xiong glanced at Lu Heng.
"You don't need to know how this king knows. I'm just asking you, do you dare to go?”
Lu Heng looked at Zhu Rong's aggressive gaze and said helplessly,
"Of course I dare to go, but the problem is that I can't send troops away on my own.”
"Moreover, the sixty thousand soldiers under my command are all defenders of Yanmen Pass. If I take them away from the camp without permission, I will be beheaded.”
"The point is, even if I can leave with 60,000 soldiers, we won't be able to run as far as Liaodong without sufficient supplies.”
Zhu Xiong was slightly stunned when he heard this. It seemed that he had thought of the problem too simply.
Indeed, the distance between Lin Li and the Fish-Catching Sea was no less than the distance between the capital and Yanmen.
The 60,000-man army marching was not something that the 1,000-man army from the logistics camp could compare to. The daily consumption was definitely a huge number.
Moreover, just as Lu Heng had said, Lu Heng's sixty thousand soldiers were not something he could transfer as he pleased.
"Uh, that's true. This king lacked consideration.”
"However, if this king can solve these problems for you, it shouldn't be a problem for you to send troops to catch fish, right?”
Lu Heng nodded.
"This is naturally not a problem. If we can really capture the Yuan Lord, this will definitely be a heaven-shaking achievement.”
Zhu Xiong smiled and nodded slightly.
"Alright, go back and wait for the news. Leave the rest to me.”
"I only have one request for you. You must capture the Yuan Lord alive and not let anything happen to him!”
Only if the Yuan Lord was alive could Zhu Rong get the information he wanted from him!
Lu Heng said respectfully.
"Yes, sir!"
After Lu Heng left, Zhu Rong sat in the tent, deep in thought.
"We definitely can't start with Xu Da in order to get Lu Heng to send troops. Otherwise, we might be tripped up by this old fellow. It seems we need to ask big brother for help this time.”
