I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 271 Second uncle, how much firewood do you need to bake?
The green prairie stretches as far as the eye can see.

The dense green grass forms the waves, which rise and fall with the breeze.

It's summer now, and it's the time when aquatic plants are luxuriant.

In this season in the past, herdsmen can be seen grazing and riding horses everywhere on the grassland.

But this year, it was covered by a red banner with Ming characters.

The herdsmen who rode horses and drew bows and arrows became the slaves of Daming, and their cattle and sheep became the food in the mouth of Daming. Their lives were buried in the grassland that gave birth to them, moistening the land and allowing the grass to grow next year. stronger.

Khobdo is near the Ertai Mountains.

In the past, the abundance of aquatic plants here would cause competition among tribes in the grassland.

But this year it was very peaceful here. A few months ago, a Ming army stationed here.

This army has about 5 people, including tens of thousands of cavalry.

In front of the commander's tent in the center, there is a huge battle flag with Zhu characters and Chinese characters.

If anyone who knows the Ming army is here, they will definitely be able to see that this is the banner of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

"Is His Highness the King of Han better?"

Outside the tent, a general asked Hanwang's guards worriedly.

What he was worried about was not the King of Han, but His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun who was besieged in the Western Regions.

"Back to General Chen, Your Highness has been having a high fever, and he is not in good health at the moment. He has just taken the medicine and has slept peacefully!"

The guard answered the question with a worried expression.

But from the casual look in his eyes, it was obvious that this guy was lying.

In fact, the general surnamed Chen can also discover this without the other party telling him.

After all, which patient with a high fever still has the appetite to eat roast lamb.

Even if his nose was stuffed with dog poop, he could still smell the strong smell of barbecue in the tent.

Seeing the guard standing still at the door, General Chen's eyes flashed with anger, and he wanted to force his way in, but seeing the way the other party was holding the holster with one hand, he could only sigh and turn away.

In June, in order to cooperate with Zhu Zhangui's offensive plan in the Western Regions, the old man drew 6 troops and let Zhu Gaoxu lead the battle in the Western Regions, and called Zhu Gaoxu to go to the place to listen to Zhu Zhangui's orders.

On the surface, Zhu Gaoxu deserved it very happily, but after returning to the tent, he lost his temper.

He scolded the old man for being too eccentric, he had fought all his life, and he still had to listen to a brat.

You said that if he was a courtier, he would bear it, but he is a prince, and it is his nephew who wants to obey.

This made the arrogant Zhu Gaoxu, how could he bear this kind of humiliation.

But although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey the old man's order, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the troops slowly approaching the Western Regions.

When he arrived at Khobdo, he received a letter from the Western Regions.

It is said that Zhu Zhangui was besieged in fear, with only 2000 troops around him, and about [-] enemies.

Upon receiving this news, our Highness the King of Han almost jumped three feet in displeasure, and then he fell ill, and the illness was so serious that he couldn't even walk.

At the same time, His Royal Highness also ordered the army not to tell the old man the news of his illness. In his words, the old man can't stand being frightened when he is old, as long as he is young and strong.

But our Royal Highness Han has been ill for more than two months, and he still hasn't improved.

"Your Highness!"

After driving away the general surnamed Chen, the guards turned and entered the camp.

"Did you drive away?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting cross-legged beside the fire, fanned a fan and roasted the lamb, asked a casual question.

This guy is also a talent, he can't come out in the tent in the summer, and he is not afraid of the heat, so he roasted the whole sheep.

"Already gone, but..."

Just as the guard was about to say something, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and gave him a cold look, forcing the other party's words back.

After the guards withdrew, a scribe in unlined clothes next to him frowned.

"Your Highness, there is no way for us to procrastinate like this. If something happens to His Royal Highness, His Majesty will not spare you!"

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled nonchalantly, and while brushing the sauce on the roast lamb, he replied lightly.

"Will not spare me, hehe, he can still kill me, I am his own son."

After brushing the sauce, he shook it to the side again. Zhu Gaoxu picked up a piece of the heated braised pork and put it in his mouth. He closed his eyes and chewed gently, savoring the deliciousness.

"Besides, I didn't deliberately not save that brat. I'm sick, and you all know it."

Seeing this, the scribe shook his head helplessly.

This is what he said, but for the emperor who has been playing tricks all his life, he probably wouldn't believe a single word.

If His Highness the King of Han did this, once something happened to His Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, he would probably give him a good beating at the very least, and then cut off the king's title and demote him to a commoner.

In the past two months, he tried to persuade him more than once, but the other party just followed the fascination and didn't listen at all. He just stayed here and waited for the good news from the Western Regions.

But how can siege warfare be so simple?

Although His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is not very old, he has experienced many battles and has 2000 elite veterans in his hands. If there is no accident, it is absolutely no problem to guard for a year or so.

If Zhu Zhangui really persisted for such a long time, could it be that the [-] to [-] troops are here for a year or a half?

In the future, when the grandson is out of danger, Zhu Gaoxu's uncle will never give up so easily because of the small belly of the grandson, and there will definitely be a fight between the two.

And the emperor's side is likely to stand with the emperor's grandson.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu really didn't go to the rescue. As for the reason for his illness, it's just a matter of fooling the soldiers. The emperor and the emperor's grandson probably won't believe it.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu is not lying, he is indeed ill, but this illness is not a physical illness, but a psychological illness, and he has been ill for several years.

To tell an exact time, it started from the day Zhu Zhangui came back.

Since Zhu Zhangui came back, our Highness the King of Han has found that his status in the old man's mind has been reduced bit by bit, and now he probably occupies the status of a son, and he probably has nothing else.

This result made Zhu Gaoxu unhappy.

He fought life and death for the old man all his life, saved the old man's life many times, and personally helped the old man ascend the throne.

What a great contribution this is. There are several sons in Huaxia history who can do this step.

Counting in detail, I am afraid that there is only Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty.

The old man made a promise to him before, although the old man later denied it, but his status didn't have much influence.

As long as he can get that position, it is acceptable for the old man to beat him and scold him.

As for the eldest brother and his nephew Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care at all.

Although the boss is good at calculating, but with his body, he might not be able to survive even the old man. He is now in a strong body, and as long as he learns from Sima Yi, he can kill the boss with hard work, so he is not worried at all.

As for Zhu Zhanji.

Hehe, a hairless child.

Without the protection of the boss and the old man, Zhu Zhanji, a brat, could be crushed to death with one finger.

When Zhu Zhangui first came back, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care too much. After all, the other party was the second child, and he had been away from home for so many years, so the old man would not put his heart on him.

But then I don't know what happened, I don't know if it's because of the 1 million taels of gold or silver, or because this kid looks like his grandfather.

The father paid more and more attention to the little bastard Zhu Zhangui, and even finally took away the eldest grandson he had cultivated for many years, and supported this little bastard to become the emperor's grandson of Daming.

But from the heart, Zhu Gaoxu also had to admit that Zhu Zhangui, the little bastard, was better than the boss and Zhu Zhanji in terms of means and temperament, even close to the old man.

Especially the method of killing is exactly the same as what he knew of his grandfather when he was a child. He smiled on the surface when he killed people, but he didn't show any affection in his hands, and he chopped people one by one.

For example, one of his former subordinates was dragged to the door of his house by Zhu Zhangui, that little bastard.

The bloody scene and the miserable wailing scared the whole family of women and children, and they didn't sleep well for several days.

What Zhu Gaoxu admired most in his heart was Zhu Zhangui, the little bastard, who was really good at making money.

Before this kid didn't come back, Daming was almost as poor as his pants.

The old man told that kid that he hadn't changed his dragon robe for a year, but it was actually true.

That year, my father, including the eldest family, didn't change new clothes for a year. The purpose was to save some money and subsidize national assets.

But since that little bastard Zhu Zhangui came back, Daming became rich suddenly. Although he didn't spend a tael of silver to throw away a tael of silver, he wasn't as tight as before, and he had some surplus assets.

The old man doesn't need to ask his elder son to spend money to fight the war, that's a good idea.

The boss also stopped digging and searching, and the old man spent some money, but he also pretended not to see it.

The source of all this is because Zhu Zhangui, a little bastard, made the court rich.

The country is rich, the old man is happy, the court officials are happy, the boss is happy, but Zhu Gaoxu is not happy.

Although he could earn more by drinking soldiers' blood, he was not at all happy in his heart.

The more capable this little bastard Zhu Zhangui is, the greater the threat he will be to himself.

For this reason, he has repeatedly played tricks, trying to get rid of this little bastard.

But every time he returned without success, he was even severely punished by the old man.

If the boss hadn't pleaded for mercy that time with the help of the Japanese pirates, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep his throne, and he would be kicked away by the old man, and he would take the whole family to his hometown in Fengyang to farm.

It was that time, the old man was completely angry, and directly ordered him to go to the fiefdom.

After going to the fiefdom, Zhu Gaoxu thought that he might be like this for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect good luck to come soon.

The old man wandered around overseas, and actually laid down a huge territory. He even intended to let himself go there and take over the idea of ​​these territories.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little reluctant to give up on Daming, but he thought that he might not be able to compete with the boss and his son, so he thought about going overseas for a period of time to develop, and when he had a chance in the future, he would return to Daming to get back his own things.

The best idea, but the result made him very disappointed, even angry.

What was originally discussed, the old man went back on his word. He even left Zhu Zhanji, that little bastard there, and brought them back.

This made Zhu Gaoxu's anger difficult to calm down, and he had already begun to hate the old man a little in his heart.

Since you don't want to give me all these things, why do you give me all these hopes again and again.

On the way back, he kept a sullen face. The old man knew what was going on in his mind, so he ignored him and wanted to let him figure it out by himself.

But the old man didn't know, he thought about this way, not only didn't he figure it out, but his hatred grew stronger.

In the past, he just wanted to win the throne, as long as the eldest family recognized his status, he would let the eldest family live a peaceful life.

But now he has abandoned this idea. In his current thinking, if he wants to ascend to the throne, the first person to get rid of is the eldest family.

Especially Zhu Zhangui, that little bastard, if he doesn't kill Zhu Zhangui, he will never even think about sitting in that position in his life.

Originally, at the time at Alutai, Zhu Gaoxu still thought that he would use the tens of thousands of troops of Zhu Zhangui, a bastard, to deal with the hundreds of thousands of strong troops in the grassland, and there would be absolutely no chance of survival.

In the end, Alutai was like a stupid pig, he just fought a battle that could be won, and lost it in a mess.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't figure it out, how did Alutai lose in a battle that could be won by a dog there?
The hero who unified the prairie had this strength, and the prairie was too watery.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhangui was seriously injured when he rushed to the battle. On the surface, Zhu Gaoxu looked distressed for his eldest nephew, but in fact he almost flew up in his heart.

I kept shouting in my heart, die, die.

It's a pity that things backfired, this little bastard suddenly came back to life.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu regretted it a bit. If he had known that this little bastard was so capable, he should have sent someone to get rid of this little bastard when he was recovering from his illness.

Even though he thought so, Zhu Gaoxu also knew that he had no chance.

Ever since Zhu Zhangui was injured, the old man took care of him personally. Even if he went out to do errands, he would leave behind the most loyal guards to guard him.

Who is the old man guarding against?

Zhu Gaoxu knew very well in his heart that he was just guarding against him and the third child.

After missing that opportunity, Zhu Gaoxu didn't sleep well for more than a month.

Two months ago, the old man sent him to assist Zhu Zhangui and let Zhu Zhangui command him. He was very upset.

But after hearing that Zhu Zhangui was besieged, his mood brightened instantly.

Then I didn't know what I was thinking, so I directly declared that I was sick and wanted to recuperate, so I dragged 5 troops to station here.

Anyway, no matter what, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next time will be.

Zhu Zhangui, this little bastard is not dead, he has no chance in the future.

In order to make this little bastard die, Zhu Gaoxu also sent people to various checkpoints, using various reasons, to stop the material troops delivering logistics to the Shenji Operation.

Anyway, the purpose of all this is to let Zhu Zhangui die in the Western Regions, and then use the death of this little bastard to stimulate the boss, so that the boss can't stand the blow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and he also falls down directly.

At that time, send someone to rob and kill Zhu Zhanji who came back from Ah San, and no one will rob him of Daming's country.

Those who can compete are all dead, the youngest is sure not to stand out, and the other youngsters of the old man are still young, so they can't compete with him at all.

With the cleverness of my sister-in-law, she will definitely understand that if she tries to grab the throne again, the whole family will lose their lives.

Moreover, the old man is also so old, and the two most valued grandsons have passed away one after another, and he definitely can't bear the blow in his heart, and it is even possible to walk with the boss.

Thinking of the success of the future plan and the appearance of himself wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Gaoxu showed a smug smile on his face, raised his hand and tore off a leg of the roasted whole lamb, and gnawed on it.

Zhu Gaoxu thought he had concealed it well, but he forgot that the old man had two intelligence agencies in his hands.

Although these two departments listen to Zhu Zhangui, the old man is the emperor after all, and there is no conflict between the two of them. As long as it is not related to Zhu Zhangui's secret, these two departments will truthfully report what the old man asks.

"Oh!"

The old man who was cleaning up the remnants in Hulunbeier kicked the case in front of him away.

"Send me an order to let him march immediately, if you dare to find a reason to delay, I will personally go over and beat him to death."

"Tell him, don't say he's sick, even if he's dead, let someone carry his body to the Western Regions."

"Order the Western Expeditionary Corps, and march immediately when the order arrives. Anyone who disobeys the order, no matter who the generals are, will be chopped off by me!"

The two kneeling in front of the old man were the person in charge of the Jinyi Guard and the Moon Shadow Guard who followed him.

Zhu Gaoxu stayed for two months and did not enter the army. The old man really didn't know at the beginning that he was busy all the time, thinking that his second son had fought with him for so long, and he also knew that time is life for soldiers.

Coupled with his trust in the second military commander, he didn't pay too much attention.

And just two days ago, a vanguard general under the old second hand reported that the army hadn't moved at all, and had been staying in one place for two months. He said that Zhu Gaoxu was sick, and asked the old man what should he do?
How could the old man, who had been playing tricks all his life, believe such nonsense and send two departments to investigate directly.

After several years of development, Jinyiwei and Yueyingwei have been fully deployed, and there are officials from all over the country, from the cabinet to the ordinary county magistrate's home.

As important supervisors, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui had countless spies around them.

Some of them advanced quickly and have become close friends of the two.

What Zhu Gaoxu was doing there, the two sides didn't even send people to investigate, and directly reported the report to the old man.

The reason why they didn't report it at the beginning was because they knew in their hearts that if they reported it directly, the old man would think that Zhu Zhangui had sent his subordinates to trick his uncle.

So at the beginning Zhu Zhangui explained to the two parties that the old man should not report the matter of these two uncles unless he asks.

It was precisely because of this that the old man didn't know the reason at first.

But Zhu Zhangui already knew it.

After all, this is related to the life and death of his boss, and his subordinates dare not delay this news.

It would be fine on the day they received the news. They sent people directly to the Western Regions, and then used the walkie-talkie to tell Zhu Zhangui the news.

Zhu Zhangui didn't say anything about this, but just let them continue to watch.

Zhu Zhangui has the confidence to defend the city. It doesn't matter if the second uncle comes or not. In fact, he can relax a bit if he doesn't come.

Otherwise, it would be tiring to fight with this second uncle while rectifying the Western Regions.

Of course, I said I didn't care, but I still wrote it down in a small notebook.

On a certain day of a certain year, my dear second uncle wanted to cheat me, and I was very upset about it, so I added two catties of firewood.

No one dared to disobey the emperor's order, even if Zhu Gaoxu was reluctant, he could only pull out the camp and continue marching.

But this guy is enough to delay time.

Walking dozens of miles every day, either I have diarrhea or I am hungry, or it is cold or hot, and I find various reasons to delay the time.

It was a short distance from Kebuduo to Turpan, and Zhu Gaoxu walked for two months before arriving at the Turpan camp.

Arriving in Turpan, the first thing Zhu Gaoxu saw was a camp full of wounded soldiers.

Severed limbs and bandaged mummy-like soldiers can be seen everywhere.

"Good guy, this is a bad fight!"

Seeing that the little bastard's Shenji Battalion suffered such a heavy loss, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help feeling happy.

But it's only psychological. If he had a gloating smile on his face and the old man found out, he would definitely break his leg.

"I have seen His Highness the King of Han!"

The officer in charge of the camp didn't have any surprises on his face when he saw the reinforcements coming, and he calmly walked forward and bowed his hands to salute.

Zhu Gaoxu was also not together, he nodded slightly and asked.

"Where did you hit?"

"Still suffering!" The officer directly answered the current location of the Shenji Battalion without hesitation.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted lightly.

"Your Shenji Battalion still claims to be the first battalion of the three major battalions. A small bitter leader blocked you for two or three months. I really don't know where you got the confidence to call yourself the first battalion."

The officer didn't make any excuses when he heard the words, but felt uncomfortable for a while.

Although we were stopped, at least we were attacking the enemy. As for your uncle, you just walked around for half a year.

If it wasn't for the emperor's urging, your old man may not arrive next year.

Zhu Gaoxu rested in the Turpan camp for two days, and took the army to Kuxian on the third day.

This time he did not slow down the army.

After all, he was already within the monitoring range of the brat's army. If he procrastinated, the brat would definitely be cautious and sue the old man.

The troops rushed all the way and arrived at Kuxian in more than ten days.

Arriving here, the tragedy of the battlefield was presented before everyone's eyes.

The city wall in the distance was bombarded with potholes, and there were corpses everywhere outside the city wall, including those from the Western Regions Legion and the Shenji Battalion.

Although it is now autumn and the weather has turned cooler, the smell of rancid corpses has always been pervasive here.

Zhu Gaoxu covered his nose, looking at Jiang Huai who walked up expressionlessly, and some officers of Shenji Battalion.

"How is the current situation?"

"The enemy is defending the city, and the number of enemy troops far exceeds ours. Our army has attacked several times, but they have returned without success." Jiang Huai reported the current situation expressionlessly.

"How many enemy troops are there?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

Although he wished that Zhu Zhangui would die immediately, but when he was on the battlefield, his soldier nature suppressed all those little thoughts.

This time Jianghuai finally showed his expression, and he replied with a wry smile: "Before meeting them, there were about 7 of them. We annihilated more than 1 people when we lost power. There should be 4 people."

To be honest, Jianghuai really tried his best.

Taking a little more than 2 people to attack a city guarded by 5 people is simply embarrassing.

Coupled with the fact that Kuxian is an important city, the defense can be said to be impenetrable.

The artillery of the Shenji Camp fired from morning to night every day, but it was useless to take the opponent's city.

Later, after inquiring, I found out that this city was built with the help of the construction method of the Central Plains, using the Central Plains Sanhe soil, and its strength is no worse than the cement that has just emerged in the Ming Dynasty.

The shells from the artillery hit the city wall, making a small hole if it was better, but only leaving a trace if it was less lucky.

The four to five thousand shells fired by the Shenji Battalion over the past month were useless against the opponent's city wall.

It's not that Jianghuai didn't think about blasting with explosives, but the other party probably knew the reason for the loss of fork force, and patrolled very strictly at night.

Every once in a while, torches are thrown outside the city.

Even this group of insidious guys secretly sent people out of the city when it was dark, and scattered triangle nails around the city.

These inconspicuous little things have caused hardships to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. Many soldiers quit the battle line because their feet were injured and infected.

Just this little thing caused the Shenji Camp to lose thousands of people.

In addition to other casualties in the siege, more than 1500 people were killed in the Shenji Battalion in just over a month, and as many as 5000 were injured.

This is the most difficult battle Jianghuai has fought since joining the army.

When I was overseas, I fought against small countries. Those small countries didn’t have strong walls at all. In addition, those people didn’t understand the characteristics of gunpowder. Once a blast broke through the gap, the army rushed in.

When they came back, they fought against the prairie people. These prairie barbarians had no sense of city defense at all, and they fought head-on in the wild.

When fighting the Japanese kingdom, the cities of those little pumpkins were like pigpens, they could jump over them with a little footsteps, and most of them were made of wood and bamboo. Facing Ming's artillery, they had no defense at all.

The only difficult part was Sakura City. As a result, the city wall was blown away overnight by the Marine Corps before it could play a role.

After many years of victories and battles with the wind, Jiang Huai gradually had the idea that as long as there are artillery and gunpowder, there will be no unbreakable city in the world.

As a result, this time he had a bloody blow to Zaiku, because his lack of siege experience caused heavy losses to his brothers.

This is also due to the discipline and tenacious fighting spirit of the gods. If it was replaced by other troops with such heavy casualties, their morale would have been lost long ago, let alone continue to attack the enemy.

Now he finally understands why Zhang Fu reminded him over and over again when Zhang Fu was teaching him how to fight.

Hearing that the other party still had 4 people, Zhu Gaoxu staggered and stared at Jiang Huai.

"How many did you say?"

Jiang Huai smiled wryly.

"There should be more than 4, plus the people in the city, there should be [-] to [-] combat power."

Zhu Gaoxu had the idea of ​​turning around and going back directly.

7 to [-] people go to attack a city with [-] to [-] defenders, even a fool knows that it is simply impossible.

The law of using troops is to encircle it if it is ten, to attack it if it is five, to divide it if it is doubled, to fight it if it is small, to escape it if it is small, and to avoid it if it is not enough.

That is to say, the principle of using troops is that if you have ten times the enemy's strength, surround the enemy; if you have five times the enemy's strength, you will attack the enemy; To defeat the enemy, retreat if your troops are weaker than the enemy's, and avoid a decisive battle if your strength is weaker than the enemy's.

According to the art of war, the two sides have the same strength, the best way is to lure the enemy out, and then look for opportunities in the wild to defeat the enemy.

But now they are facing the situation that the enemy doesn't come out at all, just squatting in the city.

And the number of the two sides is equal, and a strong attack is definitely not advisable.

But the problem is that Zhu Zhangui is waiting, and slowly killing the enemy is not an option.

"Is there anything you can do?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Jiang Huai with some irritability.

"Have."

Jianghuai said bluntly.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him unexpectedly. Could it be that this guy with mud legs can think of any way to break the city.

"Do you have a way to break the city?"

Jiang Huai shook his head, before Zhu Gaoxu thought he was being teased and got angry, he said bluntly.

"You lead people to stay here to watch them, and the minister leads people to go around directly!"

Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes and stared at Jiang Huai for a long time.

Jiang Huai also looked at him calmly.

Although the two of them didn't speak, they were having a quick question and answer in their eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu: Don't worry about me, don't forget that I delayed for two months a while ago, and also deducted the logistics of your Shenji Camp.

Jiang Huai: I don't trust you, but I trust the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu: You think that if you use the old man to suppress me, I won't dare to play tricks in the back. Believe it or not, if you leave, I will withdraw my troops for fifty miles and let the other party strangle your logistics line and kill you.

Jiang Huai: You can do whatever you want, but if a prince can be buried with me, I will die without regret.

Zhu Gaoxu: What do you mean?
JAC: Literally.

"Ha ha!"

After a while of eye contact, Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly.

"Since Commander Jiang trusts me so much, I will naturally do my best to help you hold back the enemy army here. You can go on the road with peace of mind!"

Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows, and calmly replied, "Then please His Highness the King of Han, we will take a step ahead, and when the time comes, I will report your achievements to His Majesty when we conquer the Western Regions."

"Hehe!" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were cold, and he sneered again, "Then thank Commander Jiang."

After all, he stopped talking to Jianghuai and ordered the troops to switch defenses with Shenji Battalion.

"Can Jiangtou really trust him?"

Watching Zhu Gaoxu lead his troops away, the old lion of the First Legion stepped forward, whispering a little worriedly.

"If we want to support His Highness, we have no choice but to trust the Emperor to suppress him."

Jiang Huai looked at Zhu Gaoxu's army who was changing defense with his troops, and replied calmly.

After finishing speaking, he asked the two army commanders to summon the troops to change defenses, clean them up briefly, bypass Kuxian directly, and march quickly to Afraid.
