Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1310 Supervising the Army
Outside Gyeongju City, several miles away from the joint camp, 150,000 soldiers were ready to go.

After handing the supplies he brought to the quartermaster in the camp, Zhu Fan took Ping An to the Chinese army to meet Lao Liu.

"Third brother." Upon hearing the report, Zhu Zhen hurriedly went outside the tent to greet King Jin.

"Sixth brother." When the two brothers met, they gave each other a bear hug as usual. Although they are both in Daning, one is on the front line of Qingzhou and the other is fighting in Daning City. They have not seen each other for at least two months.

Therefore, the King of Jin knew nothing about how Zhu Zhen obtained the information from Yuan Ting. When they met, he happily praised: "I knew you were powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You could actually follow the clues and find out the whereabouts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty court from Naha's birth!"

"This has been anticipated by the general. We are just following orders." Zhu Zhen smiled and walked into the tent with him, sat down next to him and said: "Otherwise, it would take a whole lot of time to deal with a mere Naha. Wasn’t it just to fish out the Bei Yuan court for half a year?”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that I caught it, but it wasn't completely fished out... The reinforcements actually stopped halfway. You said it was a big deal."

"It's not like you were too aggressive in surrounding the place to provide reinforcements, which scared the Yuan soldiers and didn't dare to come in the middle of the road." Lao San joked.

"Hahaha!" The two brothers laughed. The third child curiously asked: "But Naha's words are hard to pry, right? After all, the Beiyuan court is here to support him. What price do you have to pay to let this 'Beiyuan Guzhong' betray his emperor?" "

"Well, you might not believe it if I tell you. He took the initiative to ask me to tell him." Zhu Zhen never mentioned the story of his fraud.

"The leader of this expedition is Lan Yu. I am not worried about him marching and fighting." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "What I am worried about is that after the battle, he will be arrogant and lead his men to do evil."

"Fourth brother is not a fool..." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "But he has a good relationship with the soldiers and is not suitable to be the supervisor."

"It has to be the third brother. He has a high position." Zhu Zhen praised: "So after thinking about it, I can rest assured only if you serve as his supervisor."

"Yes." Zhu Fan said without hesitation: "You have to guard the rear and cannot go on expeditions with the army. The fourth child is a fool, so I am the most suitable."

"Okay." The third child nodded and obeyed his instructions.

"You can't say that. It's forced by various circumstances." Zhu Zhen didn't want to talk more about this matter. After all, it was not very honorable for the dignified prince to commit fraud in his physical body. Then he changed the topic and said, "We are too busy today. We will talk about this later on the road. Let's get down to business first."

"Yes." Zhu Fan agreed: "This battle is extraordinary. It is the final battle to eliminate the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It must withstand the scrutiny of the world and future generations, and cannot leave a stain on the history books."

"Really?" Lao San said in disbelief: "Is Lao Na so mean?"

"Fourth brother can't make it to the front line, so he should blame me a lot, right?" Zhu Zhen asked with a wry smile.

"Look at you, you won't let me say a bad word about him even behind his back." Zhu Fan said sourly.

"He didn't complain to me because I didn't see him at all." Zhu Fan replied.

"Ah? Didn't you hand over?" Zhu Zhen asked strangely.

"No." The third child shook his head and said, "I came so late, didn't I just wait to see his jokes, oh no... wait to hand over to him? As a result, this guy was lingering on the road because he just didn't want to follow me. Face to face. I have no choice but to come here first. "Oh, it seems that the fourth brother is seriously injured. I will have to write a letter to apologize to him later," Zhu Zhen sighed.

"Don't worry about him, just go about your business. Xiao Heizi has a strong psychological endurance and will be fine in a few days." The third child smiled and said seriously: "Don't worry about me, I will be ruthless. Strictly supervised.”

"Well, Third Brother, I am naturally relieved. I have already agreed with Lan Yu that all the seized property, personnel, and files and documents will be handed over to you for unified management." Zhu Zhen added: "Now He's not here. When he comes back, I'll call him over and give him the instructions again in front of you."

"How worried are you about him?" Zhu Han said with a tongue-tied tongue.

"Because I know him. When you have more contact with him, you will know that my worries are not unnecessary." Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the important stakes in this battle and the need for a bit of luck, I would definitely not Use this stuff.”

"Can't others handle it?" Zhu Fan asked, "There are still so many generals. If we really can't let Fu Youde lead the army, what else could go wrong?"

"I'm afraid that others won't have the same luck as him." Zhu Zhen couldn't explain the real reason, so he could only forcefully explain: "I made a fortune, and this battle belongs to him."

"That's it." Zhu Fan slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot that you are Liu Bowen's master disciple with great scheming skills."

"Uh." Zhu Zhen nodded shamelessly. He hadn't used his master as a shield for many years. It's actually a little shameful.

"You are now better than the old." Zhu Fan said and stood up and said: "I will go and say hello to the people below. When Lan Yu comes back, you can call me again."

Of course, he is not a mere commander. The Ming army has a complete system of military supervision. There are officials from the Fifth Military Governor's Office who are responsible for supervising the troops under each jurisdiction; there are officials from the Ministry of War who are responsible for recording merits and demerits and reviewing rewards and punishments; there are also officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who supervise the civil and military officials in the army and correct all lawlessness.

This complex system is very consistent with Boss Zhu's concept of decentralization, checks and balances, and mutual supervision. However, in actual operation, it will also cause serious buck-passing, so Zhu Fan has to integrate them well.

Zhu Zhen said hello and sent the third brother out of the tent. He turned back and smiled at Ping An, who had been quiet all this time: "Brother Bao'er, why does he look so unlucky? Who bullied you?"

"I was just bullied." Ping An was full of resentment and found someone to talk to. "They are too bullying. They exclude me and don't let me go on the expedition. They also wipe out all the achievements I have made. I am almost dying of frustration."

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's talk about it one by one." Zhu Zhen asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands and said, "First of all, tell me why you are not on the list of applicants?"

"Okay." Ping An nodded hurriedly.

"Because you have been reported." Zhu Zhen said softly: "So it takes time to investigate. When the investigation is clear, as long as there are no problems, I will definitely make it up for you."

"Ah? Who is it? Who has no time to report?!" Ping An was furious when he heard this.

"It's Gaobasi Timur and Hong Boyan Timur." Zhu Zhen stood up as he spoke, found a joint bulletin from the pile of papers, handed it to him and said, "You can read it yourself."

"Yes." Ping An hurriedly took it with both hands and unfolded it to take a closer look.
