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

Lin An thought for a moment, looked at everyone and said:

"Actually, the most troubling point right now is that they entered the military camp under the guise of Pingyang Prefecture soldiers. To put it bluntly, they are our own people! If they don't reveal their identities, killing them for any reason will cause unrest among the people!"

Even if you give a reason for being a spy, there will always be people who don't believe it. This will be a fatal blow to morale, especially for some generals from other factions. It will undoubtedly give them an excuse to secretly attack Xu Da!

The Huaixi nobles were indeed powerful in the court, but this did not mean that the court belonged to the Huaixi nobles!

Zhu Yuanzhang's action against Hu Weiyong also illustrates this point!

Xu Da also nodded in agreement. They were already at a disadvantage in the battle against the Oirat Mongols. If their morale was shaken again, there would be no need to fight and they could just admit defeat.

Zhu Di's gaze fell on Lin An and he said with a smile, "My Lord, since you said so, then you must have a way. So don't keep us in suspense. Speed ​​is of the essence in war!"

Lin An smiled and said, "It's very simple. Everyone, we'll act out a scene later. If Liu Jiu and the others are spies, they will definitely rebel tonight. If not, let them follow us!"

Xu Da thought for a moment and nodded!

At this time, Xu Miaojin on the side suddenly said, "I don't understand. Didn't they tell someone to go to Pingyang Prefecture to ask? Why is there such a big fuss?"

Zhu Di explained, "Because the round trip takes too long, we can only stay here until tomorrow morning. We must move. The military situation at the front is urgent. We can't afford to wait another day!"

"Since you can't afford it, why don't you just go now?" Xu Miaojin asked again.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Miaojin, wondering where this stupid girl came from. He could only say, "Because the soldiers have been marching for several days, they are too tired. If they don't get enough rest, going to the battlefield will be no different from sending their heads to the battlefield!"

"So, little girl, do you have anything else to ask?"

Xu Miaojin was about to speak, but when she saw that they were looking at her as if she were a fool, she immediately stopped.

……

Inside the Central Army Tent

Xu Da sits in the first seat

On his left and right were Lin An and Xu Zengshou.

At this moment, Liu Jiu was talking about how they were dispersed by the Yuan soldiers with tears in his eyes. When he got to the emotional part, he couldn't help sobbing softly. When he raised his head, his eyes were already red. Then he sniffed and said:

"General, you don't understand. The Yuan soldiers were so brutal. With just one charge, they broke our formation. The captain died for his country. If my brothers and I hadn't reacted quickly and escaped, I'm afraid we would have become dead by the sword now!"

"How cruel! Those Yuan soldiers are so cruel, they are simply not human..."

Liu Jiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of fear appeared on his face!

After Liu Jiu finished speaking, Xu Da walked over, patted Liu Jiu on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "You have suffered so much..."

Liu Jiu howled, "Don't cry, don't cry! As long as we can kill those wolf cubs and avenge our fallen brothers, we will be satisfied and die without regrets!"

Xu Da showed appreciation on his face, "Great! The Ming Dynasty needs loyal and righteous people like you..."

At this moment, a dark light flashed in Liu Jiu's eyes!

Da da da--

A rush of footsteps rolled in, and then Zhu Di was seen lifting the door curtain with a sullen expression. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Liu Jiu and stopped in surprise. He glanced at Xu Da, as if he had something to hide, "General, the court..."

Liu Jiu quickly said, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

Xu Da held Liu Jiu down with his big hand, and then said to Zhu Di: "We are all family, there is nothing we can't talk about!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly upon seeing this, and said with a grim expression, "In Yunnan Prefecture, Lan Yu suffered a crushing defeat. Father is furious and wants to withdraw our Ming army to support Lan Yu!"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, frowning and asking, "What about Taiyuan Prefecture and Datong Prefecture?"

The atmosphere in the central military tent suddenly became tense.

After hearing this, Lin An and Xu Zengshou could no longer sit still. They stood up in an instant, their faces full of shock and surprise!

We were almost at the front line, but we ended up turning around at the last minute. It's really unbelievable!

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This is a secret order from my elder brother, telling me not to spread it. After resting here for a day, I will announce this to the entire army tomorrow evening. At dawn the day after tomorrow, I will return to the capital!"

Xu Da glanced at the somewhat surprised Liu Jiu, then slammed the table and roared:

"What exactly does the court want to do?"

"What's Lan Yu doing? He can't even handle Prince Yuanliang! When I return to the court, I will report him!"

With a bang, the violent noise exploded beside Liu Jiu's ears, tearing his eardrums. He was originally thinking about something, but was also awakened by this. He took a deep breath and glanced at Xu Da, then stood up and bowed, saying:

"Since the general is preparing to return to the capital, I will go back first and discuss things with my brothers!"

Xu Da hummed, waved his hand and said, "Okay! You can go back!"

Liu Jiu quickly stood up and walked out!

Seeing that they were walking away, Lin An gave everyone a look and followed them out secretly!

"Hahahaha..." Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud, "Uncle Xu, you really acted like that. Especially that line about what Lan Yu does for a living, it really spoke out your true feelings!"

"I was really immersed in it just now. When I thought that 300,000 troops couldn't deal with that bastard Prince Yuan Liang, I was so angry!" Xu Da laughed dumbly.

Only Xu Zengshou realized it belatedly and said, "Oh my God, after all this time, everything you said was fake..."

Zhu Di walked over to Xu Zengshou and said soothingly, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid Liu Jiu would see through your true identity. After all, your cultivation is too shallow!"

At this moment, Xu Zengshou was speechless!

Xu Da looked outside the tent and murmured, "Now it's up to you..."

Lin An had said before that he could hear some subtle sounds from a long distance, so he volunteered to eavesdrop to see if the group of people had any conspiracy!

……

Liu Jiu is still quite cautious!

He walked along the way, greeting the soldiers enthusiastically. After returning to the camp arranged for them, he quickly got into the tent!

Seeing Liu Jiu coming back, the people waiting in the tent quickly surrounded him. He should be the leader of this group.

One of them said, "Xiaojiu, what's the situation outside? When do we start?"

Liu Jiu quickly stretched out his finger, put it in front of his lips, and made a hushing gesture. Then he pretended to yawn as if nothing had happened, stood up casually, walked out of the tent, stretched lazily outside the tent, and kept looking around out of the corner of his eyes.

Seeing that no one was paying attention here and no one was hanging around, he pretended to be nothing and walked in, then whispered to those people:

"Prince Liang won a great victory, which pissed off Zhu Yuanzhang. He ordered the Ming army, led by old man Xu, to rush back to support us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent, and everyone's face was filled with disbelief!
