Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze snorted coldly: "Traitor? This is interesting, bring him in!"

The guard immediately turned around to make arrangements. A moment later, a man in tattered clothes was brought in. He was dirty and looked nervous.

Chu Ze glanced at him and said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you come here and talk nonsense!"

The man knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed, saying: "I am a scout in the Xixia army. I don't want to work for Xixia anymore, so I come to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. I hope I can help your majesty!"

"Scout?" Chu Ze narrowed his eyes. "How much use can you bring to me if you come to join me?"

The man said quickly: "I am familiar with the deployment of the Xixia army and their next move. As long as Your Majesty trusts me, I am willing to serve Your Majesty at my utmost!"

Chu Ze took a few steps closer, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What is the Xixia operation you are talking about?"

The man immediately replied: "The joint action between Xixia and Mongolia is just a cover. Their real goal is to launch a surprise attack on the rear of Ming Dynasty from the west!"

Chu Ze's eyes turned cold: "Western Front? How did you know?"

The man continued, "I heard the generals in the Xixia army discussing privately that they had already made this plan. The main force of the Xixia army would pretend to attack Tianhai Pass, while the Mongolian army would go around from the west and launch a surprise attack while the main force of the Ming army was concentrated at this time!"

Chu Ze glanced at him, then turned to Lu Bing and said, "Lu Bing, take him down and check whether he is a traitor to Xixia!"

Lu Bing immediately bowed and said, "I obey your command!"

Seeing this, the man kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, every word I say is true, and I am not lying!"

Chu Ze said calmly: "I will naturally investigate. If what you said is true, I will use you. If you lie, I will never forgive you!"

Lu Bing led the man back, and Chu Ze stood where he was, with his hands behind his back and a calm look.

Qin Yunyun said softly: "Your Majesty, it seems that what this traitor said is true, Xixia and Mongolia have already planned it!"

Chu Ze said coldly: "Yes, it seems that this play is not over yet.

I want to see what other tricks they can come up with!"

"Your Majesty, there are indeed some unusual movements on the western front!"

When Lu Bing came back, he looked serious, with his hands clasped together, standing outside the tent waiting for Chu Ze's response.

Chu Ze walked to the entrance of the tent, stopped, and looked down at Lu Bing: "What's the unusual movement?"

"According to the spies' reports, Xixia and Mongolia do intend to launch a surprise attack on the rear from the west, but the exact number of troops is still unclear!" Lu Bing reported immediately.

"I thought they could stay quiet for a few days, but it seems these barbarians can't hold back any longer!" Chu Ze paused for a moment, then turned to the tent and said, "Pass the order down, have Guo Huai prepare his horse, I want to go to the western front myself to take a look!"

"Your Majesty, are you going to the western front in person?" Lu Bing was surprised and immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "The situation on the western front is not stable yet, why don't you stay at Tianhai Pass to command? I and others will definitely resist with all our strength and will never let the enemy take advantage of the situation!"

"Do you think I should wait for news inside this pass?" Chu Ze said coldly, "If there is any change on the western front, Tianhai Pass will be affected sooner or later.

How can I feel at ease if I don't go and see for myself?"

Lu Bing didn't dare to say anything more, and said with a folded hand: "I will arrange it immediately!"

Chu Ze looked at Lu Bing's departing back and turned back to the tent.

Qin Yunyun saw him come in and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you going to the Western Front in person? Is this a bit risky?"

"Risk?" Chu Ze chuckled: "Do you think I am afraid of these barbarians? If I don't take action, these barbarians will become even more aggressive!"

Qin Yunyun said softly: "I am not doubting your majesty's decision, I am just worried about your majesty's safety.

After all, Tianhai Customs cannot be left without a commander!"

Chu Ze waved his hand: "I know my limits. Guo Huai and Lu Bing are capable of guarding this place. I will be back in a few days. Besides, I am leading an iron-blooded army. What kind of waves can the Xixia and Mongolia cause?"

Qin Yunyun nodded: "Since your majesty has decided this, I have nothing to say.

I just hope Your Majesty takes care of himself!"

"My body is not as fragile as you think!" Chu Ze said lightly.

As they were talking, Guo Huai and Lu Bing were ready outside. Lu Bing stepped forward first and said, "Your Majesty, five hundred cavalrymen are ready and can set off at any time!"

Chu Ze walked out of the tent, glanced at the soldiers lined up in neat rows, and nodded: "Very good, follow me!" He mounted his horse, waved his hand, and five hundred cavalry followed closely behind him and marched out of the camp in a mighty manner.

Qin Yunyun stood outside the tent and watched Chu Ze go away. Although she felt a little uneasy, she was powerless to stop him.

Along the way, Chu Ze rode on his horse and calmly observed the movements around him.

Guo Huai followed beside him and could not help but whisper, "Your Majesty, I just received news that Xixia seems to be gathering troops and is likely preparing for a large-scale invasion!"

"Gather troops?" Chu Ze snorted coldly: "I want to see how many troops they can gather.

If they really have the guts to launch a massive attack, I will personally send them off!"

Guo Huai nodded: "Your Majesty's divine power will surely intimidate the enemy. I am willing to serve your Majesty at any time!"

Chu Ze said calmly: "You just need to keep a close eye on the enemy and don't worry about other things!"

Several people traveled quickly all the way, and soon they arrived at the western defense zone.

Chuze stopped his horse and looked around. He saw a plain in front of him and the mountains in the distance were vaguely visible.

"The terrain here is good!" Chu Ze whispered, "If the enemy really attacks from here, it will be a big trouble!"

Guo Huai nodded: "Indeed, the terrain here is open and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, I have already set a trap here. If the enemy attacks from here, they will suffer a great loss!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly: "Okay, I want to see if your trap works!"

As they were talking, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from a distance.

The scout came running over and reported breathlessly: "Your Majesty, we have spotted the Xixia vanguard troop about 3,000 strong, and they are approaching our army ten miles ahead!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly: "Three thousand? Humph, you came just in time.

Pass the order down, all soldiers and horses are ready, wait for them to get close, and then destroy them in one fell swoop!"

The scout immediately took the order and left. Guo Huai looked at Chu Ze and whispered, "Your Majesty, if their vanguard troops are annihilated first, the main force of Xixia will probably be alerted!"

"It is precisely because they will be alert that I asked you to set this trap!" Chu Ze said calmly: "If you fight, you must fight beautifully. You can't leave them any way out!"

Guo Huai nodded: "I understand!"

Chu Ze then whipped his whip and continued forward: "Order all troops, advance!"

Five hundred cavalrymen followed, and soon they were approaching the route of the Western Xia vanguard troops.

Chu Ze reined in his horse, observed for a moment, turned to Guo Huai and said, "Let the archers prepare and wait until they get closer!"

Guo Huai immediately passed the order down. (End of this chapter)
