Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Xu Da frowned upon hearing this, thought for a moment, then looked at the soldier and asked, "He said he came from Pingyang Prefecture. Do you have any proof?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "They said their team was dispersed and they have nothing. The only proof of their identity is the clothes they are wearing as soldiers from Pingyang Prefecture!"

Xu Da seemed to be thinking about something, then waved his hand, "Let them in!"

The soldiers bowed and then strode out. Zhu Di approached Xu Da and said with some suspicion, "General, we just stopped to rest and someone came to our door. Could this be a trick?"

Zhu Di's suspicion was not unreasonable. They were now very close to Taiyuan Prefecture where the war was taking place. It was precisely for this reason that they chose to rest here to avoid the army traveling overnight and going into the war while they were tired!

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Di and said, "Whether he's a spy or not, we'll know after we go and see him! Also, call Xiao Lin over!"

Zhu Di hummed a sound and was about to walk out when he suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to look at Xu Da, "Um..."

Zhu Di, who was known for his decisiveness, hesitated rarely!

He started to stutter when speaking!

"Hmm?" Xu Da frowned!

Zhu Di smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Miao Jin, that little girl, has also come along, hiding by the Marquis' side disguised as a woman..."

Xu Da was stunned at first, frowning slightly, as if he was digesting these words. After a long while, he gradually calmed down and waved his hands helplessly!

"Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up! I asked her to come with me to train before, but she refused no matter what. Now, she's going to the battlefield for a young boy. I, an old father, can't even beat a man I've only known for a few months..."

Seeing that Xu Da was not angry, Zhu Di chuckled, moved closer to Xu Da, and whispered, "Don't think I don't know. Uncle Xu, you must be secretly delighted right now! Considering the status of Marquis Taiping, Miao Jin is considered too high a target!"

Xu Da glared at Zhu Di and said, "The truth hurts, but I like it, hahahahahaha..."

……

"You mean, the general wants me to go with you?"

In the military medical camp, Lin An said in surprise.

Zhu Di nodded, then pointed at Xu Miaojin, who had returned to her male attire, and said, "Your father already knows. He wants you to come along too!"

Xu Miaojin hummed and smiled sweetly, "I understand!"

Zhu Di continued, "Miao Jin, I emphasize to you once again, this is a military camp, not a place for romantic relationships. Please don't get confused!"

Xu Miaojin could also hear the weight of these words, and nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince of Yan! I will definitely be a good Mulan in the army!"

Then, he walked obediently to Lin An's side, as if he wanted to stay by his side all the time!

So, the three of them went together!

There were more than 300 remnant soldiers, all of them were in tattered clothes. One could only vaguely see the word "Yang" on their chests, which was the emblem of the Pingyang Prefecture's soldiers!

These people also had scars on their faces, but they had been scabbed for a long time, and they looked pale and thin, or even emaciated, with the ribs of their chest visible. They spoke weakly, and their eyes were lifeless in their deep sunken eye sockets!

"You are here!"

Xu Da was talking to a soldier. He saw Lin An's men from the corner of his eye and nodded. When his eyes swept over Xu Miaojin, they paused for a moment before asking the man in front of him:

"So, would you like to eat first, or go see a military doctor to check out your illness?"

That man was the leader of this team, Captain Liu Jiu!

Liu Jiu seemed to smell the aroma of food when he heard this. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said eagerly, "Let's get some food first! Brothers haven't eaten properly for almost ten days. These days, they have been eating grass and tree bark..."

When he said this, Liu Jiu covered his face and started crying. It was really too tragic.

Xu Da hummed, looked at the group of soldiers who were already salivating with delight, and then ordered his adjutant: "Bring over a few hundred of our pancakes... Forget it, a thousand. Then make some extra porridge, and have the kitchen prepare a dozen tables of big pot dishes!"

When Liu Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up. Finally, he fell to his knees and kowtowed three times in Xu Da's direction, crying bitterly and saying:

"Thank you, General! You are truly our savior..."

The palace soldiers behind him also knelt down with their last bit of strength, all of them crying loudly with emotion!

Xu Da comforted them a few more times, and part of the pancake had already been moved over. The hungry soldiers didn't care about order and rushed over like crazy, eating it up like a tiger grabbing food!

Lin An looked at this scene, then looked at Xu Da, thinking that as an old general who had been on the battlefield for many years, he should know that after being extremely hungry for a long time, if he suddenly overate, he would most likely die of starvation!

But why did Xu Da do this?

Suddenly, Lin An realized that Xu Da was suspicious of these people...

Just as I was thinking about it, Xu Da came over. Without saying a word, he glanced elsewhere. His meaning was very clear: find a convenient place to have a good chat!

Few people understood!

After walking over and confirming that they were all eating and not paying attention, Xu Da said, "Those people are very suspicious, but I'm not sure! If they are wrongly accused, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

"If those people are spies from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, if we keep them alive and they attack us at a critical moment, we're doomed..."

A difficult one, P Plus support!

Now the people who came to support us are in trouble, but the imperial court is guarding against them as if they were thieves. If this gets out, the impact will be too bad.

But if he is a spy, it would be a disaster for the army.

They had no advantage against the Wala soldiers. If they were broken through from the inside, the 150,000-strong army would be buried in a foreign land!

This is what Xu Da is extremely conflicted about!

He doesn't dare to gamble!

Because he can't afford the cost of losing!

Zhu Di was silent!

He understood this too well. What is most important in a war? The most important thing is the people's hearts. If people's hearts are scattered, a team will not be able to gather morale, and will not be able to exert any combat effectiveness, and will fail no matter what battle it is!

Just when everything was quiet, Lin An suddenly smiled and said, "I have a solution!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin An. Xu Da asked in surprise, "My Lord, what can you do?"

"Um... General Xu, you should still call me Xiao Lin. Marquis sounds like a generation gap!" Lin An looked at Xu Miaojin beside him and said helplessly!

After all, what father-in-law would call his son-in-law "Grandpa"?

Xu Da smiled belatedly and patted Lin An on the shoulder, "You kid, you're just my style! Hahahahaha...Okay, okay, then, Xiao Lin, tell me your plan!"

Lin An said: "My method can be summed up in eight words: openly repair the plank road, secretly attack Chencang!"
