"Hehe, my good father-in-law, on account of knowing each other, I'll give you some face and kill yourself!”
Zhu Xiong put away the Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear and carried it on his shoulder. He sat on his warhorse and looked down at him arrogantly with his chin raised, as if he was looking at an ant.
"Sigh…"
"Thank you!"
Chahan Timur stood up, sighed, and thanked Zhu Rong.
For a defeated general like him, suicide was the most honorable way to die.
As for sparing his life, there was no need to speak. Both Zhu Xiong and he knew that the loser would die without a doubt!
With a clang, he pulled out the small scimitar at his waist and looked around, wanting to take one last look at the great rivers and mountains of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
"Pfft-"
The scimitar slashed across his neck, and blood spurted out. Chahan Timur's life force gradually disappeared, and his body slowly fell to the ground. This was the end of the reign of a powerful king.
Chahan Timur died, the royal flag fell, and the remaining soldiers immediately knelt down and begged for surrender.
but...
Zhu Xiong didn't accept it at all!
"Kill them all!"
A cold voice came out of Zhu Xiong's mouth as he mercilessly ordered his soldiers.
Zhu Xiong did not have a good impression of Yuan Dynasty soldiers.
From Jinling to Nanyang, there were people starving to death everywhere. The tragic scenes of the exchange of children and cannibalism still echoed in Zhu Rong's mind. The instigators of all this were these Yuan soldiers.
Perhaps they were only following orders, but it was their fault for being Yuan Dynasty soldiers!
Facing Zhu Xiong's order, the soldiers under his command did not hesitate at all. They immediately brandished their sabers and mercilessly killed these kneeling soldiers.
When these Yuan Dynasty soldiers saw that their pleas for surrender were fruitless, they immediately got up and fled in all directions like frightened birds and beasts.
However!
How could these tired Yuan soldiers outrun Zhu Rong's army?
Most of the Yuan soldiers were killed by Zhu Rong, and only a few managed to escape.
At this point!
Chahan Timur and Dashi Badulu, the two biggest forces of the Yuan Court, were completely destroyed. There was also a force from King Naha of Liaodong, but it was too far away from the Central Plains and beyond his reach.
The rest were all small shrimps that could not cause any waves at all.
After eliminating Chahan Timur and Dashi Badulu, Zhu Xiong did not stop. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to rest for a short while before attacking.
Chahan Timur and Dashi Badulu had gathered all the soldiers under their command, and the cities under their command were unprecedentedly empty.
Zhu Rong immediately sent Li Wenzhong to lead ten thousand troops to attack Runan, the base camp of Dashi Badu Lu.
Send Feng Sheng to lead 10,000 troops to attack Kaifeng.
Then, he sent Lan Yu to lead the Snow Dragon Cavalry to take down Luzhou City before the news spread. It was to be used as the landing point for the Ming Empire's Northern Expedition Army to cross the Yangtze River.
Once everything was ready, Zhu Rong immediately sent a message back to Ming, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to lead the army to the north and unify the world!
......
Jinling City, Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, and the civil and military ministers were neatly arranged on his left and right.
At this moment.
The morning court session had already reached its final stage. Zhu Yuanzhang looked outside the gate of the Hall of Heaven Tribute with a hint of worry in his eyes."Sigh, I wonder how Third Brother is doing?”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Highness the Third Prince is the most courageous and resourceful in the world!”
"Furthermore, as a prince, he enjoys the blessing of the Great Ming Empire and will definitely be fine. If anything happens, it will definitely be those barbarians of the Yuan Court!”
Li Shan Chang was very clear about Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and understood the weight of Zhu Fei in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. After every court meeting, he would sigh and immediately stand up to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang to please him.
"Your Majesty, may I ask how long has it been since the Third Prince has sent back any news?”
Liu Bowen stood up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
He wasn't good at flattery and flattery. He preferred to take action and deal with things.
"Sigh! It's already been a month and eight days!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed heavily again and accurately told him the time since the last time he sent a message.
" One month and eight days?!"
"Has it been so long?"
Liu Bowen was slightly stunned, and a hint of uneasiness appeared between his brows.
"Your Majesty, please forgive this old official for being blunt. The Third Prince has not sent a message for such a long time. Either he has encountered some danger, or he has carried out a world-shaking operation and has no time to send a message.”
Liu Bowen calmly analyzed.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. Compared to Liu Bowen's words, he preferred to listen to Li Shanzhang's words.
But he also understood that Liu Bowen was telling the truth.
"Your Majesty, we should have made plans long ago!”
"If anything happens to the Third Prince and the Yuan Court catches hold of something that could be used against us, we must be on guard!”
Liu Bowen continued.
He had good intentions, but in the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang, who loved his son dearly, it was not the case. This was clearly cursing his son!
"Pa-"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Liu Bowen and shouted,"Liu Bowen, what do you mean? Curse our son to have an accident?"
His eyes were wide open and he gritted his teeth!
That look!
It was like a fierce tiger choosing a person to divinate!
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and all the ministers below immediately fell silent, especially Liu Bowen, whose body trembled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang was so furious when he had just suggested it. Indeed, accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger!
At the side.
Lee Shan Chang looked at Liu Bowen, who was drenched in cold sweat, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He admitted that Liu Bowen's talent was indeed higher than his.
However, in terms of being an official, Liu Bowen was even more difficult than him!
It was obvious.
How important was the Third Prince Zhu Xi's position in His Majesty's heart?
If you said that he had an accident at this time, if it were anyone else, they might be dragged out by His Majesty and killed!
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty, I have no intention of cursing the Third Prince. I am only thinking about the safety of my Ming Empire. I hope that Your Majesty will make plans as soon as possible.”Liu Bowen bowed and explained.
The more Liu Bowen explained, the angrier Zhu Yuanzhang became. He directly waved his hand to interrupt him and shouted,
"What plan?”
"Isn't this based on our son's accident?？”
"You still say that you're not cursing our son? Liu Bowen, how dare you!!”
"Could it be that my blade is not good?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was truly furious. His parents and brothers had died when he was young. When he grew up, he married and had children. He valued family ties the most, especially when Zhu Rong was his favorite and proudest son.
He would never allow anyone else to say anything ominous.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Liu made a slip of the tongue and didn't consider things properly, but his heart is for the good of my Ming Empire.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Highness the Third Prince is blessed by the heavens and will definitely be safe and sound. He hasn't sent a message to Your Majesty for such a long time, perhaps he's preparing a big surprise for Your Majesty!”
Li Shan Chang stepped forward to smooth things over.
He could suppress Liu Bowen, but he could not watch Liu Bowen fall.
The emperor needed balance. He and Liu Bowen, one as the prime minister and the other as the imperial censor, checked and balanced each other. When one person was dominant and monopolized the government, it was not far from death.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say something, a report from the palace guard came from outside the door.
"Report-"
"His Highness the Third Prince has ordered someone to send an urgent message from eight hundred miles away!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this. He ignored Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and the others and quickly urged,"Quick, pass it on!"
After a while.
A travel-worn messenger soldier with a flag on his back was brought to the Hall of Heaven Tribute.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. My Emperor Wan..."
"Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and hand over San Er's letter to us.”Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted the salutation of the soldiers, eager to see the battle report sent by his son.
Seeing his master's urgency, the servant beside Zhu Yuanzhang immediately walked down the platform as fast as he could to bring back the battle report from the messenger soldier.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately opened it and started browsing through it.
The civil and military officials in the main hall craned their necks to look at the letter in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, revealing curious expressions.
When Zhu Yuanzhang read the contents of the letter, his expression changed from joy to shock, from shock to shock, and from shock to shock!
His pupils contracted to the extreme, and his eyes widened like copper bells. His jaw opened too wide and his mouth dislocated with a cracking sound. His entire body shot up from the dragon throne with a whoosh!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang lose his composure, the officials in the palace were filled with curiosity. Their hearts were tickled like a cat's paw. They couldn't wait to know what kind of content in the letter could make the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang lose his composure.
After a while…
Zhu Yuanzhang recovered from his shock and burst into wild laughter.
"Haha! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"
"My son is mighty!"
"My son is invincible!"
" My son is awesome!"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had no regard for his image and laughed out loud without any scruples, Li Shan Chang could not help but ask,""May I ask, Your Majesty, what great thing has His Highness the Third Prince done to shock the world?”
"Hahaha! How could it shock the world? It's simply earth-shattering!"
"This kid has played a big game in this month and a half. He actually wiped out the two strongest forces of Chahan Timur and Dashi Badulu, and his seven hundred thousand soldiers were reduced to ashes!”
"Now, the Yuan Court is only left with an empty shell!!!”
Boom!
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like dropping a bomb into a calm lake, causing the hearts of all the ministers to be filled with monstrous waves. All the ministers in the hall were dumbfounded!
Hiss--
What did they hear?
The two largest forces of the Yuan Court, Chahan Timur and Dashi Badulu, had a total of more than 700,000 troops annihilated by the Third Prince!？
This was…This was…This was…
It was simply unbelievable!
This was too exaggerated!
I told you to spy on the enemy, but you destroyed the entire enemy camp!？
艹!
What kind of immortal was this!!!
