Zhu Yuanzhang was so serious that the generals were all very curious.
She didn't know what he wanted to say to General Xu Da.
However, it was definitely a very important and confidential military matter. It was very likely to be related to the deployment of the northern expedition.
Everyone felt that it was normal for Crown Prince Zhu Biao to be able to participate in their discussion. However, the fact that Sixth Prince Zhu Zhen was also able to listen from the side surprised everyone.
The news that the Sixth Prince Zhu Zhen was going to become Xu Da's son-in-law had already spread throughout the military camp.
However, even if he was the son-in-law of the Great General and a prince, he would not be above the generals and participate in the discussion of the northern expedition.
This was his first time coming to the Black Tortoise Lake camp.
As for the prince who had come to the Xuanwu Lake camp, the fourth prince Zhu Di, he had been beaten forty times and was still lying in his tent!
Why did the Sixth Prince Zhu Zhen receive more preferential treatment than the Fourth Prince?
All the generals were indignant, and Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Yungong, was even more livid. He did not say a word and stared at the central tent from afar.
The generals on duty today were led by Fu Youde, the Marquis of Yingchuan.
Fu Youde felt insulted that the Emperor was discussing the Northern Expedition plan, but he was not allowed to listen. Instead, he let the Sixth Prince, Zhu Zhen, listen.
Could it be that he, a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, was inferior to the Sixth Prince?
Fu Youde could tell that Xu Yungong was unhappy, so he went to his side and asked,"Yungong, I heard that His Highness the King of Chu will soon become your brother-in-law?”
"Do you know why His Majesty and the Great General value His Highness the King of Chu so much?”
Xu Yungong only disliked the Fourth Prince Zhu Di.
Now, the sixth prince Zhu Zhen was about to become his brother-in-law. He didn't like Zhu Zhen either.
"I don't know about other things, but I know that the Sixth Prince's ability to talk big is very good!”Xu Yungong pursed his lips and said.
"Big talk?" Fu Youde was greatly surprised." Previously, I only heard that His Highness King Chu was a bookworm. I didn't expect him to be a big talker.”
"How can the Great General be at ease to let Miao Yun marry such an unreliable prince?”
"Maybe it's because he's good-looking that even Big Sister likes him!" Xu Yungong said hatefully.”
Hiss!
There was such a thing?
Fu Youde and the generals were all shocked.
Could it be that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was handsome?
......
In the tent of the central army.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at Xu Da and said,"Tiande, I heard that you're bringing your boss with you on this northern expedition?”
Xu Da nodded." Yes."
"When he arrives in Beiping, let him change his name and serve in the army like His Highness the King of Yan.”
"Beiping?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.
Isn't it good to keep it with you? Why did he have to serve in the Beiping army?
"Yes, I'm a general of the country. There's no reason for me to support my son in private." Xu Da said seriously.”
"If he were in front of me, everyone would know that he's my son. I'll let him join the army like the King of Yan. If he wants fame, he'll have to fight for it himself.”
All the founding ministers wanted to recommend their sons to be officials, but they did not want their sons to gain experience first.
There were too few people who were as sensible as Xu Da.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt gratified and nodded."Alright."
Listening to the conversation between his father and father-in-law, Zhu Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang continued,
"Tiande, since Sixth Brother will be your son-in-law in the future, you should bring him along on this northern expedition and let him experience the real battlefield.”
"Your Majesty is wise," Xu Da said."I also have the same intention.”
"When the time comes, I'll let His Highness King Chu make a small flag in the army and train it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made a decision.
"Yes, it's decided.”
"No matter how many military books you read, no matter how outstanding you are in the sand table martial arts practice, it can't compare to a real fight.”
Zhu Zhen's entire body suddenly went numb.
Shouldn't you two old men ask me if I'm willing to go first?
I really don't want to go!
"Imperial Father, with Fourth Brother following Uncle Xu into battle to kill the enemy, I won't go, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da had both seen it.
Their eyes were as sharp as knives.
"Your Highness, you said you weren't willing to go because you couldn't win this battle.”
"However, after discussing with His Majesty, we have revised the battle plan for this northern expedition. We unanimously believe that we will win this battle!”
Zhu Zhen thought to himself that this was indeed the case.
After his and Xu Da's sand table martial arts practice, they had already found out the reason why it was difficult for them to win this northern expedition.
With his father Zhu Yuanzhang and father-in-law Xu Da's military prowess, they would definitely be able to come up with a more reliable battle plan.
The outcome of this battle would definitely change because of this.
However, no matter what, Zhu Zhen was unwilling to go out.
As for the reason, it wasn't because Zhu Zhen didn't like to lead troops into battle.
Which hot-blooded man wouldn't like to lead the Great Ming Iron Cavalry on the battlefield and sweep across the Mobei?
Zhu Zhen, with his martial strength, also wanted to die.
However, people like his fourth brother, Zhu Di, and his future brother-in-law, Xu Yungong, were just pawns and soldiers who were commanded by others.
It was better for Zhu Zhen not to go to such a battle.
If he wanted to go to war, after a few years, after he became a vassal, he would have his own guards and be the commander himself. Wouldn't it be even better to go to the battlefield in an imposing manner?
As for the experience of leading troops to battle, he had lived two lives and was familiar with military books. Did he lack experience?
"Then, congratulations to Imperial Father and the Great General. I wish the Great General victory and an early triumph. I am still young, and it will not be too late for me to enter the battlefield in a few years.”
A trace of disappointment flashed across Xu Da's face, but with Zhu Yuanzhang around, he could not flare up.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened." Huh?"
"Sixth Brother, do you dare to disobey my decree?”
Hiss!
His Imperial Father, Zhu Yuanzhang, even said 'Zhen'.
This was a blatant threat!
If he said another word, the old man's 40-meter-long machete and 50-meter-long military staff would probably come.
Zhu Zhen could not help but gasp!
Imperial Father, you're not respecting martial arts ethics!
Zhu Zhen could only try to calm himself down.
He had to be steady.
Isn't it just going to war? So what if she went?
Who am I afraid of?
However, he was determined not to be a big soldier!
"Imperial Father, I can participate in the northern expedition this time, but I want to be the Great General!”
Zhu Zhen's words were shocking!
Hiss!
This time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and the Crown Prince Zhu Biao's turn to be shocked!
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was expressionless." You want to be a general? What an arrogant tone!"
Xu Da's face was already so gloomy that water could drip down. The veins on his forehead were bulging as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Who wouldn't be angry if a little kid wanted to snatch his position as the Great General?
Crown Prince Zhu Biao's jaw dropped.
He thought to himself, Sixth Brother, I was just about to remove your bookworm label, why did this happen?
Other than a bookworm, how could a normal person say such words?
It's over, Sixth Brother, you're finished.
Not only did he anger his father, but he also successfully angered Uncle Xu.
Even I don't want to plead for you.
Take care of yourself and pray for your own good.
Perhaps, just like Ling, you'll have to suffer forty military lashes to change your bookworm habits and not make bigger mistakes in the future!
