General Xu's camp.
One of his generals came to discuss with Xu Da.
"General Xu, our army is running out of rations. He wondered when the supply camp would transport the grain from Yingtian Prefecture over.”
Xu Da sighed.
"Now, the people from the supply camp have left for three days. In another three days, the rations would arrive.”
"Calm down."
That was what he said.
However, Xu Da was more anxious than anyone else.
If they had arrived two days later, the Yuan army would not have attacked and the Ming army would have collapsed.
He had no choice.
Man is iron, rice is steel.
"If that's the case, we'll just wait for the people from the supply camp to send the rations over.”
"Reporting to General Xu, the scouts have reported that Great General Lan has ambushed Kuokuo Timur's camp and captured a group of captives.”
"It's said that Consort Qi and King Qi's eldest daughter, Princess Hai Bie, are among them.”
Xu Da was stunned.
"Speed is important in war. General Lan was also afraid that before the rations arrived, the army would be attacked by Kuokuo Timur again, so he attacked first.”
"This is good too. Speed is the most important thing in war."
"However, I wonder if they caught Kuokuo Timur?”
The general shook his head.
"I didn't catch him. They had captured their clansmen, and there were about one to two hundred of them.”
Xu Da fell into deep thought.
"It's just that General Lan has repeatedly interrogated Consort Qi and Princess Hai Bie about Timur's whereabouts. They even used all kinds of threatening methods.”
The general's words made Xu Da's heart suddenly tense up.
"Did General Lan really do that?"
The general bowed with both hands.
"General Xu, everything I said is true. If there is even the slightest lie, I am willing to be punished by military law.”
Xu Da confirmed this matter, and a wave of anger surged into his heart.
"This General Lan…really doesn't know how to do things.”
"Who is Consort Qi? He knew very well that she was the sister-in-law of our Great Ming Dynasty's Qin Consort. The two families were related.”
"Even if the two armies were to confront each other or fight each other, it would not be to the extent of making things difficult for the orphans and widows.”
……
Yingtian Prefecture.
In Taihe Palace.
All the officials looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already feeling awkward, broke out in a cold sweat.
Old Fifth, this little brat, was really unreasonable.
Even though his father…was a little unreasonable.
However, it was not to the extent of embarrassing Zhu Yuanzhang in front of so many people, right?
When he was young, he was undisciplined.
When he grew up, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do anything to him.
He had to fight as soon as possible.
With Zhu Rong's actions just now, he, as an old father, couldn't beat him.
However, this devilish brat was giving out bullsh * t choices.
He wanted me to apologize.
Dream on.
The sweet potatoes that I found with great difficulty were about to be shipped to Mobei, and you want me to return them to you.
The soldiers of Mobei couldn't be completely wiped out.
To think that you could think of forming your own army.
Old Zhu scratched his ears anxiously.
After thinking about it, he chose the last option.
"Alright, then we will give Prince Zhou a sword and allow Prince Zhou to command his own army, but not listen to Xu Da's orders.”
"Kid, are you satisfied now?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not without fear.
However, from his point of view, a 12-year-old youth would not be able to do anything to him.
Even if he could recruit a few hundred people, it was simply a drop in the ocean compared to the Ming army.
In other words.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also confident that he could grab Zhu Rong and press him down to the ground.
Let him jump around.
Although he couldn't take it lying down, he could only endure it for the time being.
After this, he would teach this kid a lesson.
Zhu Xi chuckled.
"Actually, your son is still at a disadvantage. 90,000 catties of sweet potatoes."
………
The military situation was urgent.
After achieving his goal, Zhu Rong returned to the side hall happily.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered the Internal Affairs Bureau to assign reliable palace maids and eunuchs.
As for the original palace maids and eunuchs, they probably left first because they were afraid of implicating their families.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to be killed.
There are laws in the country, and there are rules in the palace.
………
In a side hall of Taihe Palace.
Prince Zhou Zhu He and Prince Jin Zhu He were plotting.
There were no palace maids or eunuchs present to serve them.
"Old Fifth, in that case, you want to recruit soldiers again?”
Zhu Xiong held the imperial sword and carefully examined it.
So this was the imperial sword.
He looked at it and saw that it was no different from an ordinary sword.
The only obvious difference was that there were three to four golden dragons carved on the scabbard.
She looked very graceful and luxurious.
This thing was a good thing.
In ancient times, taking out this thing was equivalent to the emperor coming in person.
"Of course. With the imperial sword, I now have this right.”
Zhu Xiong was very puzzled.
"Fifth brother, you are now a hundred households in the scout camp. You don't need to go to war and there isn't much danger. Why do you want to take the risk?"
"Moreover, our Great Ming has so many elite soldiers. What kind of army do you want to build?”
How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
How could these small scouts satisfy Zhu Rong?
His goal was to become a marquis and reach the peak of power.
With his own strength.
Instead of relying on his father's full strength.
"Third brother, you don't understand. How could this small hundred-household clan be as mighty as his own army?”
Zhu was stunned.
"Fifth, you're too arrogant. Thousands of troops?"
"Hehe, it's already considered your ability to recruit a few hundred people.”
Zhu Wei retreated and led an army.
"That's why we gave this task to Third Brother. If third brother could recruit people, then third brother must be someone capable.”
I'll go.
Zhu Rong thought for a while before turning around.
"You brat, you've set a trap for third brother to crawl into.”
"Oh, right. After you left, I've been taking care of our business. Recently, I've earned another 9,000 strings."
………
Xu Da's camp.
Xu Da paced around the camp.
Another day passed.
There was still no news from Prince Zhou and Prince Yan.
The scouts 'work was carried out in an orderly manner.
It was no different from when Zhu Rong was around.
Xu Da was secretly pleased.
Fortunately, he thought of a way to let His Highness Zhou Wang and His Highness Yan Wang go to transport the food together.
It would prevent this kid from causing any more trouble.
When he returned, he would use his identity as the commander to order him to do some unimportant work.
Want to make contributions?
No way.
But what he didn't know was that Prince Zhou had already obtained the imperial sword.
There was no need for him to be angry at her.
Dear ancestors, it's the end of the month. Those who still have monthly votes in their hands, hurry up and vote. It would be invalid after this month. hehe
