"Sima Yi, let's not talk about it first!"
Xu Da waved his hand and raised his head to meet Zhu Rong's gaze."Since you've spoken, then I'm sure you have your own thoughts. Don't hide it anymore, just say it.”
"Yes, Great General!"
Zhu Rong cupped his fists." I do have some guesses about this Northern Yuan cavalry, but I need to get some information before I can confirm it.”
"Just tell me what you want to know!”
Xu Da had some understanding of his son-in-law. He knew that if the other party did not speak, once he did, it would definitely be earth-shattering.
"Great General, I want to ask how many supply routes our army has and how they are distributed.”
Tang Yalan's heart trembled violently when she heard the word 'repaired'.
Even Xu Da's tiger eyes were wide open.
"Yes, supplies, it's supplies. This Northern Yuan cavalry must have come for Li Wenzhong's supplies.”
Xu Da laughed out loud and patted Zhu Xiong's shoulder, praising him."I didn't expect you to have such a view on your first battlefield. You have the demeanor of Zhu Zhongba back then.”
Looking at Xu Da's reaction, Zhu Rong understood that he had guessed correctly. The place where the Northern Yuan cavalry appeared coincided with one of the supply routes.
But in reality, he didn't want his guess to be correct.
This was because Li Wenzhong's army was in the south while the expansion army was in the north.
But now, there was a Northern Yuan cavalry that bypassed or even passed through Li Wenzhong's army and came to the rear to cut off the supply of Li Wenzhong's army. This meant that Li Wenzhong had already become a turtle in a jar, firmly controlled by the expansion.
This meant that the situation on the Northern Desert Plains was worse than they had imagined.
After laughing twice, Xu Da quickly retracted his smile because he had also realized this point.
"Since it's an army to intercept rations, then it's a lone army.”
Sensing that there was an opportunity to make a contribution, Tang Yalan immediately requested,"Great General, please allow me to lead the army out and destroy this lone army to raise the morale of the soldiers.”
"That's the way it should be!"
Xu Da nodded in agreement.
Due to the defeat of Li Wenzhong's army, the morale of the soldiers of the three armies had never been high. This was also something that had always been a headache for Xu Da.
He should not give up such a good opportunity.
However, at this moment, Zhu Rong said,""Right now, it's just our guess. It's not the truth. We can't be greedy and advance rashly.”
" Besides, how much can the morale of a lone army be raised by crushing it with a large army?”
Tang Yalan frowned slightly and glared at Zhu Rong hatefully.
This bastard is always going against me.
"Then I wonder if Your Highness Wu Wang has any brilliant ideas.”
"I don't have any brilliant ideas, but I do have some humble ideas. I wonder if General Tang wants to hear them.”
"Yes, why not!"
Xu Da watched from the side with a helpless expression. This pair of happy enemies had started to bicker again.
Thinking of his unmarried daughter, Xu Da felt aggrieved. If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to Tang He's request. He was simply looking for trouble for his eldest daughter.
"This lone army must definitely eat.”
"But we have to find out how to eat it."
"After all, eating it all in one bite and eating a portion and running a portion will have a completely different effect on morale.”
"Just like you said earlier, it's clearly not advisable for the army to directly crush them.”
" It's not stupid to expand the territory. The light cavalry sent to cut off the grain must be the best choice. Once they find something wrong, they can just run away. It's almost impossible to catch up with the light cavalry of Northern Yuan on the grassland."”
Even though she looked down on Zhu Rong, Tang Yalan knew that the former was right. The possibility of wiping out this lone army was slim.
However, Tang Yalan was unwilling to be outdone by Zhu Rong, that bastard. Therefore, she raised her snow-white neck and said,"Do you want to wipe out this lone army? How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible!"
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't!”
"What's wrong? You don't believe me? How about we make a bet?"
Zhu Rong grinned. This expression was as annoying as it could be in Tang Yalan's eyes.
"Let's bet. Who's afraid of who? Whoever doesn't bet is a puppy!”
Tang Yalan said stiffly.
"Alright, if I can wipe out this lone army, we can write off all our grudges. How about it?”
Zhu Xi was just worried that she could not find a chance to get rid of Tang Yalan, and this time, she could make use of it.
After all, this woman's identity was too special, and they had done that kind of thing before. Zhu Rong was really worried that if he continued to be pestered by her, it would blow up. Once Old Zhu and his mother found out, he was afraid that he would have to marry a crazy woman.
It's all Ling's fault. She's such a beautiful crazy woman. Can't he just accept her?
"What if you lose?"
"Lose? No, no, no, I can't lose!”
Zhu Xiong smiled and shook his head.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, please be clear. We are making a bet right now. Please abide by the rules.”
Tang Yalan could not help but roll her eyes.
"Alright, then tell me."
Zhu Xiong shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.
"If you lose, after the northern expedition ends, come to my house and clean the stable for a month.”
"Deal!"
With a bang, the two of them hit each other with their palms, and the bet was officially set.
As for Xu Da, he was forced to become a notary.
..
After leaving the main tent, Zhu Xiong went to find Zhu Neng.
"Greetings to the two generals!"
When Zhu Neng saw Zhu Xi and Tang Yalan coming over, he immediately bowed respectfully.
"Haha, Big Brother Zhu Neng, we're family, there's no need to be so polite.”
Zhu Rong patted Zhu Neng's shoulder and pushed him into the tent. Tang Yalan followed closely behind.
"Brother Wulang, why are you looking for me?”
As soon as they entered the tent, Zhu Neng asked,""Did the general give us instructions about the Northern Yuan cavalrymen?”
"Well, that's fine. It's indeed related to the Northern Yuan cavalry we found.”
"Great General speculated that the cavalry was a lone force sent by the expansion to plunder General Li Wenzhong's army.”
"I asked the Great General to order me to eat up this lone army. I've come to ask Big Brother Zhu Neng for help.”
"Big Brother Zhu Neng, this is a great opportunity to make a contribution.”
"I only asked for 500 cavalrymen from the Great General. Once we wipe out the enemy, it will be a perfect example of defeating the enemy with fewer people. Your military achievements will definitely be high.”
Chief Flag!
Zhu Neng's eyes lit up when he heard the word " and ". He had been in the army for many years, but he was only a small flag. If he could be promoted to the Chief Flag, he would be willing to do anything.
"Brother Wulang, you can do whatever you want. I, Zhu Neng, will follow you.”
Zhu Neng patted his chest twice to express his sincerity.
Tang Yalan did not understand why Zhu Neng trusted Zhu Rong so much.
Originally, she had expected him to reject her without hesitation.
After all, it was almost impossible to defeat five hundred people against three thousand people, let alone annihilate the other party.
However, she did not expect Zhu Neng to agree without asking anything.
Just what kind of charm did Zhu Rong have that made him worthy of being trusted and followed by others?
"Alright, Big Brother Zhu Neng, don't worry. I'll definitely let you get what you want.”
Zhu Rong did not expect Zhu Neng to agree so readily. He immediately smiled and said,""Big Brother Zhu Neng, I want you to choose 500 soldiers with excellent skills and rich experience in cavalry combat. Can you do that?”
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Zhu Neng laughed and agreed.
