At this moment!
The entire marshal's manor was unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Chang Yuchun all focused their attention on the battle report in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands!
He was dumbfounded!
Dumbfounded!
His expression was extremely shocked!
Liu Bowen even threw the feather fan that he never left his hand to the ground and lost his usual calmness.
It wasn't that they weren't mentally strong enough!
It was just that the contents of this battle report were too shocking!
It had only been a month or so since Zhu Rong had left for the expedition.
In the end…
Zhang Shicheng was directly destroyed, and the entire Jiangnan was unified!
This was…
It was quite sudden!
It was beyond everyone's expectations!
They knew that Zhu Rong would win, and they also knew that Zhu Rong would win faster than the average person.
However!
He never expected that it would be so fast!
Within a month, the entire territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had been taken over. What kind of speed was this?？
After a long time…
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to regain his senses. He looked at the battle report in his hand and his face was flushed red with excitement. His arm that was holding the battle report was trembling!
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
"One month!"
"He actually used only a month to defeat Zhang Shicheng and take down the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions!”
"I'm so happy that I'm about to go crazy!”
"This is simply a divine son!”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be overjoyed. He laughed loudly, filled with excitement, joy, and pride!
"Sigh! It's still too small!"
"I thought that I had already overestimated the Third Prince, but I never expected that I would still underestimate him!”
"Three months?!"
"What a joke!"
Lee Shan Chang sighed softly, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.
He had been slapped in the face by the third prince again!
But…
This slap to the face was satisfying!
Lee Shan Chang turned to Liu Bowen and Chang Yuchun. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and a provocative smile appeared on his face, as if he was mocking them.
Liu Bowen and Chang Yuchun were embarrassed by Li Shan Chang's stare.
Previously.
Li Shan Chang said that Zhu Rong defeated Zhang Shicheng and took Gusu City in three months. Both of them felt that it was impossible. Liu Bowen even felt that Li Shan Chang was shamelessly licking Zhu Rong's boots.
But now…
The clown was actually them!
Three months?
Bullsh * t!
Zhu Rong killed Zhang Shicheng in a month and annexed the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions!
"Big brother, quickly tell us.”
"How did Nephew Gu defeat Zhang Shicheng and annex the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions within a month?”
Chang Yuchun was filled with curiosity and couldn't wait to find out how Zhu Xiong managed to accomplish such a feat in such a short time.
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen were also staring at Zhu Yuanzhang, just as curious as Chang Yuchun.
"Haha, don't worry, let me tell you.”
"Cough cough ~"
Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his body and cleared his throat. He was ready to deliver the battle report in his best state of mind.
"According to the battle report, after our Third Brother took down Gaoyou City, he didn't follow the usual order to take down Linjiang City or Hu Provincial City.”
"Instead, we're heading straight for Gusu City."
Heading straight for Gusu City?
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bo Wen, and Chang Yu Chun widened their eyes when they heard that.
What was he trying to do?
A surprise attack?
However, if they went in alone, the entire army would be in danger!
They were all top strategists and generals under Zhu Xiong's command. They immediately saw the danger, but they didn't say anything.
Because they knew that Zhu Xiong had won.
With doubts, they quietly waited for the next sentence.
"Our son is heading straight for Gusu City not to take it, but to expose his army to Zhang Shicheng.”
"Using himself as bait to lure Zhang Shicheng's main force to attack him.”
"Zhang Shicheng fell for it!"
"When they see our son leading an army deep into the city, immediately mobilize the troops of Linjiang City, Hu Province City, and Gusu City. A total of 400,000 troops will encircle and annihilate our son.”
"But who is our son?？”
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of pride and he fell into a state of narcissism.
Meanwhile, Li Shan Zhang, Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun, and a few others were anxious as they secretly urged the marshal to continue!
What happened next?
How did the Third Prince win?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked like a storyteller who did not say anything in the middle of a story.
In the future, there was a special term called broken dog!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was the ruler, so they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction or urge him. They could only wait anxiously.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stay intoxicated for long. He came back to his senses after fifteen minutes.
He cleared his throat and continued.
"Our son is facing an army that is several times larger than him, yet he is not afraid at all. He is well versed in the art of war and lures the enemy deep in.”
"They will fill their own camp with firewood, kerosene, and gunpowder.”
"Zhang Shicheng's main force broke into the camp in the middle of the night, and more than half of it was burned by our son. Then, he followed up the victory and destroyed the remaining soldiers!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke. His saliva flew everywhere. It was simply more interesting than a storyteller.
"Hiss!"
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bowen, and Chang Yuchun gasped when they heard this. Shock appeared on their faces, and admiration appeared in their hearts!
Luring the enemy with his body!
What kind of courage was this?
If they were careless, they would die on the spot and cause the entire army to be wiped out!
However!
Zhu Xiong had succeeded, creating another miracle!
Once the 400,000-strong main force was destroyed, Zhang Shicheng would no longer have the capital to fight against Zhu Rong. He could only hide in Gusu City and wait for his demise.
"Big Brother, something's wrong!"
"Even if Nephew Gu managed to wipe out Zhang Shicheng's 400,000-strong army, Gusu City still has at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops.”
"The walls of Gusu City are high and thick, and there are countless rations in the city. It shouldn't be a problem for them to hold on for a month or two.”
"How did Nephew Gu break through?”
Chang Yuchun suddenly came back to his senses and asked another question.
"Yes, to the top."
"How did the Third Prince break through Gusu City so quickly?”
"Could it be that Zhang Shicheng's brain is hot and he sent people out to fight with the Third Prince?”
Lee Shan Chang also asked with a face full of doubt.
"Haha, of course Zhang Shicheng isn't that stupid!”
"But our son is too smart. He came up with a siege weapon called the Nest Car!”
"Good heavens, it's more than ten zhang tall, as tall as the city tower of Gusu City. That Nest Carriage can even extend a suspension bridge, which can be placed on the city tower of Gusu City.”
"The soldiers under Third Brother's command were as easy as walking on flat ground. They directly attacked Gusu City without any effort and fought hard to take it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the puzzled expressions of the three of them and laughed, explaining the reason.
"Oh my... Be obedient!"
"Big... Brother, you... Are you kidding me?"
"A chariot that is thirty meters high and as big as a city wall. There really is such a thing!？”
Chang Yuchun stuttered, so shocked that he couldn't even finish his sentence.
A chariot as tall as the city wall!
What kind of colossus was that!
"Yes, Chang Shuai."
"There are records of war chariots like Nest Carriages in ancient books, but they are used to observe the enemy situation in the city. I have never heard of them being able to extend a suspension bridge.”
"Moreover, this thing has long been lost. No one knows how to make it.”
"I never thought that the Third Prince would actually create this long-lost Nest Car, and it's even more advanced!”
Liu Bowen said with admiration.
He was well-read, so he naturally knew about the Nest Car.
However, the Nest Carriage that Zhu Xiong had created was completely beyond his knowledge. It could actually be used to attack a city!
It was truly inconceivable!
"The Third Prince is gifted and intelligent.”
"Whether it's forging weapons or improving flintlocks, we've achieved great results. It's no wonder that we're able to create such an advanced siege car.”
"Sometimes, I even feel that Third Prince is the reincarnation of an immortal!”
"I'm afraid only Immortals can do this!”
Lee Shan Chang didn't hesitate to praise Zhu Xiong, his face filled with admiration and respect.
"Hahaha!"
"Good Director is right, I think so too!”
"This is the divine son bestowed by the heavens to my Zhu family to help us overthrow Bao Yuan!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement with Li Shanchang's words. He also thought that his son was the reincarnation of an immortal.
In this era, people still believed in ghosts and gods.
All the unreasonable things were pushed onto the ghosts and deities.
"Upper position, now that Jiangnan is unified and you occupy half of the world, you should consider one thing.”
Liu Bowen picked up the feather fan on the ground again, shook it gently, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with excitement.
"What is it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked without raising his head. His eyes were still on the battle report, clearly still in a daze.
"Founding a country!"
Liu Bowen spat out two words.
"Founding a country?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanzhang, and Chang Yuchun exclaimed in unison as they looked at Liu Bowen.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up immediately!
