"Threatening? When did you have any interaction with Kuo?”
"Tell me clearly, what exactly happened?”
At this moment, Xu Da felt that he couldn't see through Zhu Rong at all. He felt that he had already thought highly of Zhu Rong, but this guy was always able to do one shocking thing after another.
"Spies?"
Xu Da did not react in time, but Tang Yalan raised her eyebrows.
"Aren't you pretending to be a crazy woman? How could a brainless lunatic guess this?”
Zhu Rong looked at Tang Yalan teasingly. The latter spread her hands helplessly and said,"What is it? What did I just say?"
"Zhu the Fifth, the Great General is asking you a question. Hurry up and tell the truth, or you will be punished by military law.”
Xu Da?
What were these two doing?
Playing games?
"We're talking about serious matters. Stop fooling around. Go back to your tent and play tonight!"
Xu Da glared at Tang Yalan, then looked at Zhu Rong and asked again,"What did you mean by that?”
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that when I was in Yingtian Prefecture, I released some news about the flintlock gun and let some people hear it.”
Zhu Rong shrugged and smiled." Kuo Kuo didn't know what flintlocks looked like. He subconsciously thought they looked like handguns. That's why he was afraid of flintlocks."”
"However, this kind of intimidation shouldn't last for too long. Kuo Kuo isn't stupid. After some time, he will definitely realize that something is wrong.”
Xu Da, who understood the whole story, was instantly stunned. Then, he laughed loudly.
"Haha, I see!"
"The great King Qi of Northern Yuan, a famous general of his generation, Wang Baobao, was actually played by a little kid like you. If he knew that he was played, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.”
A famous general of his generation had dominated the Central Plains and the grasslands for many years. He had rarely been in a sorry state. He had never thought that he would be played by a young man.
"Compared to spitting blood out of anger, I think there's something else that's more worth being happy about.”
"Oh? What is it?"
"Of course it's a trust crisis!"
Zhu Xiong shrugged and said indifferently,""This time, the 3,000 Northern Yuan Light Cavalry went south to plunder provisions. It was obviously a spy in our army who leaked the news.”
"But in the end, other than General Tang, who was in a good mood and let one person go, the others were all killed. Oh, wait, there was still one in the cell.”
"Then, with the news of the flintlock gun being played, Uncle Xu, do you think Kuo Kuo can continue to trust those spies hiding in Ming Dynasty?”
Xu Da's heart trembled when he heard this. It was better to attack the heart than to plot. He didn't expect Zhu Xiong to have thought so deeply and set such a big trap for Kuo Kuo.
If he was expanding, the information sent by the informant would be wrong twice in a row, and he would definitely be suspicious.
"Speaking of flintlocks, it's a pity!”
"If we can equip a large number of flintlocks for this northern expedition, this battle will be much easier to fight.”
"Is it a pity? Perhaps!"
Zhu Xiong muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. No one knew what he was thinking.
The next day, the army set out, crossing the Great Wall and heading towards Li Wenzhong's camp.
Because the letter yesterday was not only a military report, but also an urgent request for help.
Li Wenzhong couldn't take it anymore.
Out of the 130,000 soldiers he had brought, 30,000 had died. Of the remaining 100,000 soldiers, 30,000 had been scattered and had yet to return.
There were less than 70,000 people left in the camp, and most of them were infantry. They were no match for the 100,000 light cavalry, and could barely hold the camp.
...
Yingtian Prefecture, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao entered with a smile on his face, holding a memorial.
"Yo, boss, what made you so happy?”
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen and raised his head to ask with a smile.
"Imperial Father, Uncle Xu's memorial has arrived.”
"A memorial for merit?"
Hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion,"I remember that Tiande has just arrived in Beiping and is reorganizing his troops!”
"The battle hasn't even started yet, so how can you ask for credit?”
"Boss, are you kidding me?”
"Imperial Father, you'll know when you see Uncle Xu's memorial!”
Zhu Biao smiled mysteriously and handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Hey! I want to see who Tiande is asking for credit for and what kind of credit he has made.”
Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial with interest. When he opened it, he was stunned.
"Boss, are we seeing things? Tiande is asking for merit for our son?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao with uncertainty. Even his voice was trembling. It was obvious how excited he was.
As the elder brother, Zhu Biao had personally brought up his younger brother and made great contributions on the battlefield. How could he not be happy?
He nodded heavily." Imperial Father, you're not mistaken. The person Uncle Xu is helping to ask for credit is our fifth brother."”
"Alright, alright!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table excitedly." Old Fifth, that bastard. He's usually out of tune. I didn't expect him to actually make such a big contribution on the battlefield.”
"500 people annihilated 3,000 Northern Yuan light cavalry. This little bastard is as good as his father. He's our son, haha!”
"Wait, something's wrong!"
Old Zhu smiled and his expression suddenly changed. He immediately began to curse,
"Didn't we agree to be a general with the army? Why did he go to the battlefield for no reason? Tiande, that bastard. How did he guarantee that he would bring him along and protect him well before he set off?”
"Doesn't he know how important Fifth Brother is to Big Ming? He's losing big for small things.”
Zhu Biao snickered as he watched Zhu Yuanzhang curse.
"Boss, what are you laughing at? The fifth brother you raised has been sent to the battlefield by Tiande to kill the enemy, and you're still laughing?”
"Imperial Father, what are you anxious about? Look behind you. There's still Uncle Xu's letter inside.”
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He quickly flipped through it and found that there was indeed a letter behind it. However, it had already been opened. It was obvious that his boss had already read it.
The letter was a public matter, but this letter was a private matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and read it silently. As he read more and more, his eyes widened. In the end, he almost tore the corners of his eyes.
"This, this, this…"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say.
"Father, you can rest assured now!”
Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with joy as he said,"With that girl Ya Lan protecting Fifth Brother, nothing will happen. I'm sure you know that girl Ya Lan's ability. After all, you once praised her for having the legacy of Mulan and the reincarnation of the female general of the Yang family.”
"This brat, why is he so greedy!”
Zhu Yuanzhang finally continued after a long time.
"It's fine if you want to get rid of those girls from the Xu family in one go, but now you're even targeting Tang He's daughter.”
"He's looking for trouble for us!"
"The identity of the eldest daughter of the Xu family as King Wu's main consort has already been confirmed. What about the eldest daughter of Ding Chen?”
"According to that fellow Dingcheng's temper, I'm afraid he'll come into the palace with a knife and fight us to the death.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang looked angry, he was actually more curious.
He knew about Tang He's eldest daughter. She had a heart that was higher than the sky. Not many people could be taken seriously by her. How did this little bastard, Zhu Rong, manage to trick her?
