Chu Ze thought for a moment, then nodded: "Not bad.

Yue Feihe's Five Mountains Sword Sect has always been loyal, I can send someone to summon him to discuss how to deal with these scoundrels in the martial arts world!"

Guo Huai immediately said: "I will arrange it now!"

Chu Ze's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Xixia and Mongolia are just external threats. What is really scary is the traitors who secretly collude with the court and the underworld.

What I want is a stable regime. If anyone dares to covet the power of the Ming Dynasty, I will destroy him to ashes!"

Qin Yunyun stood beside Chu Ze, looking at him silently and saying no more.

She knew that once Chu Ze made a decision, no one could shake his will.

Under the night sky of Tianhai Pass, the moonlight faintly shines through the clouds, and the surroundings are quiet and silent.

Chu Ze stood on the top of the city wall, his eyes still like cold iron swords, and endless majesty revealed in his silence.

Soldiers patrolled the city, the sound of armor colliding was crisp and powerful, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Not long after, Guo Huai rode up again and reported, "Your Majesty, I have sent out scouts to track down the enemy. Yue Feihe has received your majesty's summons and is leading the elite disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect to Tianhai Pass.

It is expected to arrive within two days!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly, his voice without any emotion: "Two days is enough.

As long as they don't dare to attack, I will have enough time to lay a net of heaven and earth!"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Bing interjected, his eyes solemn: "Although the sects in the martial arts world are different from the imperial court, their power cannot be underestimated.

Especially when these barbarians unite with the traitors, they may use extremely cunning means to disrupt our army!"

Chu Ze smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "So what if they are from the martial arts sects? Do they think they can control the situation of the war with a few tricks? I just want to see what these martial arts people are capable of!"

He paused, then continued: "However, what Lu Bing said makes sense. These Jianghu traitors act strangely and cunningly and should not be underestimated.

You must immediately mobilize five thousand elite troops and train them day and night. If there is any movement, be ready for battle immediately.

If necessary, we can join forces with Yue Feihe's Five Mountains Sword Sect!"

Lu Bing clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will do it immediately!"

As Lu Bing left, Chu Ze's expression relaxed a little.

He put his hands behind his back and slowly paced on the top of the city wall. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said coldly: "Yunyun, I have never let you interfere too much in these court and battlefield affairs, but you have been very smart since childhood. I do want to hear your opinion on one thing!"

Qin Yunyun was slightly surprised when she heard this, and then she said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please feel free to speak. I am willing to do my best to help you share your worries!"

Chu Ze looked solemn and said slowly: "Mongolia and Xixia have become external threats at present, and this martial arts sect is secretly colluding with the barbarians. Although I am not afraid, this matter is no small matter after all.

I am worried that someone is behind this. These martial arts sects were originally scattered, why did they suddenly unite? Is it just for their own interests? "

Qin Yunyun frowned slightly when she heard this, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Your Majesty is right.

Although the martial arts sects do not appear to have direct conflicts with the imperial court, over the years, the secret attempts by treacherous officials in the court to win them over may have planted the seeds of disaster in the major sects.

Especially those people in the court with ulterior motives, if they use the power of the underworld to disrupt the border, it must be for greater benefits!"

After hearing this, Chu Ze's eyes turned cold, and his voice was filled with endless murderous intent: "It is indeed those parasites in the court who are causing chaos! I have long suspected that someone in the court is colluding with these gangsters and is trying to interfere.

These people must be eliminated!"

Qin Yunyun said softly: "Your Majesty, calm down. The war is tense right now. If we rashly take action in the court, it may cause greater fluctuations. I think we should wait and see what happens, solve the external threat first, and then return to Beijing to clean up the court!"

Chu Ze was silent for a moment, nodded, and his tone softened slightly: "Yunyun is right.

The current situation is complicated and we cannot act rashly.

I will slowly close the net, and when the time is right, I will definitely catch them all in one fell swoop!"

At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar.

The spy came again, panting and kneeling to report: "Your Majesty, I just received a military report. Although the Xixia and Mongolian coalition forces have temporarily retreated, they did not completely withdraw during the retreat. Instead, they set up a camp in the valley in the north, and it seems that they intend to ambush our army!"

Chu Ze's eyes were slightly stern, and he sneered, "Sure enough, there is a backup plan.

I had already expected that they would not retreat easily.

Pass the order down, all soldiers must not leave the city easily, continue to defend the city, and wait for the enemy to reveal a flaw! "

The scout took the order and left. Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and looked sharply into the distance: "These barbarians are really cunning, and they even want to ambush our army.

If I hadn't been prepared, I would have fallen into their trap!"

Qin Yunyun sighed softly and said softly: "Your Majesty is extremely wise. How can the enemy escape your Majesty's eyes? Their conspiracy is doomed to fail!"

Chu Ze nodded and said softly: "Yunyun, go back and rest. It's getting late. I want to stay here for a while longer!"

Qin Yunyun knew that he was concerned about the war situation, so she stopped trying to persuade him. She just smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will go back now and wait for your call at any time!"

At this time, Lu Bing and Guo Huai appeared beside Chu Ze again. They bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the scouts have found out the enemy's movements again. The Xixia and Mongolian coalition forces did not retreat completely. Instead, they deployed heavy troops in the valley. It seems that they are waiting for our army to move out and try to lure us into their trap!"

Chu Ze's eyes were sharp, and he snorted coldly: "It's really an old-fashioned trick to lure the enemy.

These little tricks of Western Xia and Mongolia were really vulnerable.

If our army attacks rashly, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

Lu Bing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the enemy has obviously anticipated that we might pursue our victory, so they set up an ambush.

If we send out troops now, we may be surrounded.

I think it is best to stay put for now and wait and see what happens!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly and said calmly: "I will not fall into the trap easily.

Xixia and Mongolia are in cahoots with each other, but they are at their wit's end and are trying to disrupt my position with this little trick.

The ambush they set up actually gave me another chance!"

Guo Huai's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you have a plan to deal with this?"

Chu Ze sneered: “Of course.

Since the enemy wants to lure us into attacking, I will do the opposite.

Pass the order down, continue to defend Tianhai Pass, but increase the deployment of artillery and crossbows to make the enemy think we are preparing for a strong attack.

At the same time, send out an elite team to bypass the enemy's ambush and sneak into their rear quietly. When the enemy is exhausted, attack from behind and give them a fatal blow! " (End of this chapter)
