Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 625 The advantage is in me!

After all the envoys came back, Zhang Wuji summoned everyone in the imperial study room to hold a battle meeting before the emperor.

The ministers who attended the meeting included Liu Futong, Yang Xiao, Zhang Dingbian, Zhao Pusheng and Wei Yixiao.

As for Liu Bowen, his current rank is too low and he is not qualified to participate in such a high-level imperial combat meeting.

Also accompanying the meeting were Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and Su Mengqing.

There are no outsiders here right now, so the three of them don't need to cover their faces.

Zhang Wuji looked at Wei Yixiao who was eager to give it a try and then said: "If you have anything to say, King Wei Bat should say it first."

Wei Yixiao stood up and said, "That guy Zhang Shicheng is really going to rebel. He sent a large army to rob and kill us. Fortunately, the leader was prepared, otherwise our group might have been wiped out."

Su Mengqing said: "This is also expected."

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhou Zhiruo and asked, "Where are you, Zhiruo?"

Zhou Zhiruo replied: "Zhu Yuanzhang has not fallen out with us. After all, many of his subordinates are old members of Mingjiao. When I was in Jinling, he always avoided me, and then asked Princess Ma to take care of several children. Come and deal with me. But I also noticed that the entire Jinling City has begun to prepare. Moreover, the generals of the Mingjiao Department in the past, such as Brother Chang and others, were transferred out of Jinling. It was because of his transfer that I left Jinling City. .”

Zhao Min asked: "Transferred? Where did he go?"

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head at this time and said: "I'm not sure about this. Brother Chang is still very wary of me."

Zhang Wuji said: "It doesn't matter where you are transferred. Besides, if Brother Chang is transferred, it will save us brothers from fighting against each other. This is good."

Zhang Wuji raised his eyes and looked at Yang Xiao and asked, "Envoy Yang Zuo, how about the other two envoys?"

Yang Xiao replied: "Chen Youding wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. He wanted to be a loyal minister of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, but he also didn't want to break the peace treaty he had made with the emperor before. So he frankly said that he would sit back and watch the success or failure. But even if we were defeated, he Just don’t be our enemy. As for Fang Guozhen”

Su Mengqing added at this time: "This guy is just a wallflower. While he is asking for an official title and salary from Meng Yuan, he is also perfunctory with us. My spies have found out that he has connections with the Mongols. We have also collected all the evidence that he colluded with the Mongols. As long as we make this evidence public, we can eradicate this snob at any time."

Zhang Wuji let out a long breath, and then said: "Fortunately, although the current situation is somewhat unfavorable to us, everything is still as expected. At least we have a basis to conquer these rebellious people."

Zhang Wuji said: "Mr. Yang Zuo, in the name of Zhongshu Sheng, you draft a petition to label Zhang Shicheng as a traitor. Write down his crimes for robbing and killing the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty one by one. Then tell the world, let Zhang Shicheng be the first to do so. Dingbian has lost the support of the people of the world."

Yang Xiao stood up and said, "I obey the emperor's instructions."

Zhang Wuji nodded, and then said: "As for the other three princes, since they have not explicitly opposed us, we do not need to go to war for the time being. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, although he is powerful, he has always been attached to the Mingjiao, and he does not dare to rebel openly. We Don't pay too much attention to him. We can look directly at the 'Dragon Gate Formation' set up by King Ruyang on the line of the Huaihe River."

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "This is not the Dragon Gate Formation, but the 'Tianmen Formation'!"

"Ah? Tianmen Array?" Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min with confusion on his face.

Zhang Wuji had heard of the Tianmen Formation, but it was a formation from the Yang Family General in the romance novel.

The Yang family will be more inclined to stories about gods and monsters rather than martial arts stories.He didn't expect that there was a "Tianmen Formation" in the master world of this timeline!
Then there is no Mu Guiying around him.Zhao Min looked at Liu Futong at this time. Liu Futong stood up and said: "Reporting to the emperor, what the imperial concubine said is true. According to the report from our spies, King Ruyang and Zhang Shicheng's troops jointly solved the formation along the Huaihe River. It does look like the 'Tianmen Formation' used by the Xiao brothers, the commanders of the Liao Kingdom in the past. This formation is laid out along the river in the direction of Fuxi 64, which can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack."

After hearing Liu Futong's explanation, Zhang Wuji understood.The Tianmen Formation here is not as mysterious as in romance novels. It is just a stronghold along the river, a military formation capable of both offense and defense.

However, Zhang Wuji was not afraid. He said: "No matter what formation he set up, it was just a mantis arm acting as a chariot. Now the morale of the Mongolian army is low. According to the intelligence provided by Master Liu and Master Lu, the Yuan court's treasury is almost exhausted. And there is a problem. King Ruyang has not yet recovered all the remnants of Lotemur's old army. These people are like thorns on their backs. Although the Mongolian army is numerous, it is just a ragtag group."

Zhang Wuji said confidently: "This time we don't count General Li's Western Front Guanzhong Army. We now have a total of 80 water and land forces under our command. Although the other army is large, it is certainly not as good as ours, and the other party has no money and food supplies. , none of the soldiers have the will to fight. So this battle is bound to be 'my advantage'!"

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min and asked, "How about we proceed as planned?"

Zhao Min thought for a moment, then looked at Su Mengqing's reaction.After Su Mengqing nodded, Zhao Min said: "Okay! That's it!"

At this time, Zhang Dingbian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have objections."

Zhang Wuji asked: "I wonder what else Aiqing has to say?"

Zhang Dingbian walked into the hall, then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is the real dragon emperor, with a body of ten thousand gold. You must not go on a personal expedition unless you have to. The western front is led by Lord Li and the Taiwei." The Central Route Army has Marshal Guo personally leading the troops, and these ministers have no objections. It's just that on the way to the decisive battle with the Yuan army, I am willing to recommend myself to share the worries of my father."

After saying this, Zhang Dingbian gave Zhang Wuji a discount.

After hearing what Zhang Dingbian said, Yang Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted that this guy didn't want his life.

It's nothing to voluntarily ask for a battle, but it's not a trivial matter to lead an army.Zhang Dingbian's move was suspected of competing with the emperor for military power.

If it had been another emperor, he would have suspected that Zhang Dingbian had treason.

But Zhang Dingbian didn't mean this.He is a straightforward person.Since he had taken refuge with Zhang Wuji, he was naturally loyal.

He took the initiative this time because he felt that his chair was a little "pricky in the butt".

Because most of Zhang Wuji's court was based on the old system of the former Song Dynasty.

Privy Councilor is the highest official rank among generals.

But although Zhang Dingbian did his best, he was very uneasy in his heart.

Whether it is Li Siqi later or Liu Futong, who has been following Zhang Wuji to conquer the world, these people's positions are lower than Zhang Dingbian.

Especially Liu Futong, who is the most righteous person in the world and the veteran of the rebel army, is a deputy privy envoy.Although he is higher than Zhang Dingbian in terms of title.But in terms of official title and power, he is not as good as Zhang Dingbian.

Now everyone is entrusted with important tasks. Chen Han is also a surrendered general, and Zhao Pusheng has the merit of commanding the navy to destroy Mingxia.Even Fu Youde and Ding Pulang both have Pingnan's skills, but now he is the only one who has not yet established an inch of skills, but is in a high position.This made him feel somewhat like a thorn in his back.
