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

"However, since the secret passage has been exposed, there is no need to keep it. Pass the order down and seal it completely!" Chu Ze waved his hand and said.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Lu Bing immediately took the order and left.

Chu Ze walked into the imperial study, sat on the dragon chair, and looked solemn.

After a while, he said to his attendant, "Send the Minister of War, Lord Guo, over here!"

After a while, Lord Guo came in and bowed, "Your Majesty, are you summoning me?"

"You've also heard about the Prince of Huai!" Chu Ze said calmly, "The noise in the capital is getting louder and louder. I want you to conduct a strict investigation into the allocation of weapons and see if anyone is smuggling weapons out of the Ministry of War!"

"I have stepped up inspections and have not found any large-scale transfers yet. However, the records of some small-scale weapons transfers are somewhat suspicious. I am preparing to conduct a thorough investigation!" Lord Guo reported in a low voice.

"Investigate thoroughly, I want to see the results!" Chu Ze said coldly.

"Yes, I understand!" Lord Guo bowed and withdrew.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly came in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, urgent news from the front line!"

Chu Ze took the report, glanced at it quickly, his face darkened, and then said: "The Mongolian army is mobilizing again on the border, and there seems to be a sign of a large-scale invasion!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Mongolia wants to take this opportunity to move south!" Lu Bing also rushed over and said in a low voice.

"They are restless, which is within my expectations!" Chu Ze said coldly: "Order the generals on all sides to prepare for war. Report any unusual movements immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing accepted the order and left quickly.

Chu Ze stood in front of the desk, tapping the tabletop lightly, frowning slightly: "Mongolia and Xixia have been linked for a long time, and now the border is unstable again, and the Prince of Huai is causing trouble in the capital. It seems that this battle can't be delayed any longer!"

"Your Majesty, do you plan to lead the army in person?" Lu Bing suddenly asked.

"Go to war in person?" Chu Ze glanced at him and laughed coldly, "If I don't go to war in person, do they really think I am just sitting in the palace and showing off? Pass the order down, I will lead the army to war in person!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Bing saluted and said, "I will immediately arrange the troops!"

"Go!" Chu Ze waved his hand, his eyes cold: "Mongolia will pay the price for their reckless actions this time!"

As the order was issued, the whole capital city took quick action. Chu Ze, together with Lu Bing, Lord Guo and others, discussed the military deployment and immediately began to reorganize the troops and prepare for the expedition.

Soon, the guards outside the imperial study reported: "Your Majesty, the troops have begun to gather in the front, and the generals on the border have also sent news one after another. Everything is ready!"

Chu Ze nodded, then stood up and said firmly: "Let's go, I will lead the troops myself!"

A few days later, Chu Ze led a large army to set out on an expedition. People along the way lined the streets to see him off, and the atmosphere in the capital was unprecedentedly tense.

Lu Bing, Lord Guo and others personally escorted them and carried out the arrangements in an orderly manner along the way.

When the team reached the border, Chu Ze stopped his horse on a high place and looked down into the distance. The Mongolian military camp was looming in the distance, with flags fluttering.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has assembled and is fifty miles away from us!" Lu Bing rode up on horseback and reported in a low voice.

"Hmm!" Chu Ze looked into the distance and sneered, "They are getting impatient!"

"Your Majesty, should we start the war immediately?" Lu Bing asked.

"No hurry!" Chu Ze said calmly: "Let them wait a little longer. I want them to know that patience is the first priority in war!"

"Your Majesty, spies ahead report that the Mongolian army has set up camp fifty miles away, and they seem to be preparing for an attack!" Lu Bing rode up on horseback and reported in a low voice.

Chu Ze sat on his horse and smiled coldly: "Fifty miles? They can't wait.

Pass the order down, everyone stay where they are and do not move rashly!"

"Your Majesty, they have gathered a large number of troops this time, I'm afraid they are testing our army!" Lu Bing frowned slightly. "Test? Humph, since they want to test, let them wait a little longer!" Chu Ze said, with cold eyes.

"Yes, I understand!" Lu Bing accepted the order and turned around to make arrangements.

Chu Ze turned his head and looked into the distance, whispering: "The Mongols are ignorant of life and death, let's see what use their probing can be!"

After a while, Lord Guo also rode over and said, "Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the generals at the border. Xixia has also made some moves, and it seems that they are planning to join forces with Mongolia!"

"Xixia?" Chu Ze sneered: "These clowns want to take advantage of the situation? Let them come together, I will deal with them all!"

"Your Majesty is wise. I will arrange personnel immediately!" Lord Guo bowed.

"Let the Northwest Camp strengthen its defenses and take the initiative to attack when necessary. Don't let them act rashly!" Chu Ze ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lord Guo took the order and left.

Chu Ze was still sitting on his horse, staring into the distance. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Pass on my order. The whole army will rest and attack the camp tonight!"

Lu Bing was slightly startled after hearing this, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, attacking the camp tonight? Isn't it a bit hasty?"

"The Mongols can't wait any longer, and I don't want to wait any longer!" Chu Ze said coldly, "Since they have gathered their troops, I will give them a great gift and catch them off guard!"

"I understand, Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Bing bowed and then hurried to make arrangements.

As night fell, the Ming army quickly gathered and prepared to attack the Mongolian camp.

Chu Ze rode on a warhorse, holding a long sword, and glanced at the soldiers lined up in neat rows.

"Tonight, I will personally lead the troops to attack the enemy. You only need to remember one thing - leave no one alive!" Chu Ze's voice was cold and his tone was firm.

"We will follow Your Majesty until death!" the soldiers responded in unison, with great momentum.

Chu Ze waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The army set out quietly and advanced towards the Mongolian camp under the cover of night.

The journey of fifty miles took only a moment, and Chu Ze led his army to arrive outside the Mongolian camp.

The Mongolian army camp was brightly lit, but they did not notice the approach of the Ming army.

"Lu Bing, take a team to encircle them from the flank and don't alert the enemy!" Chu Ze said in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing immediately led his men to take a detour.

A moment later, there was a commotion in the Mongolian camp. It was obvious that Lu Bing's actions had alarmed the enemy.

Chu Ze smiled coldly, then shouted: "Attack!"

The Ming army rushed into the Mongolian camp like a tiger descending from the mountain, catching the enemy off guard in an instant.

The Mongolian army was completely unprepared for the attack by the Ming army in the dark, and for a moment, the army was in chaos.

"Kill!" Chu Ze gave the order and rushed into the enemy camp himself, sword in hand. Wherever he went, no enemy survived.

Under the fierce attack of the Ming army, the Mongolian army was defeated step by step. They didn't even have time to pack up their tents and fled in all directions.

However, the Ming army had already made arrangements and surrounded the fleeing Mongolian troops from all sides, blocking them in the camp and completely cutting off their retreat.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has been defeated and the outcome is irreversible!" Lu Bing rode over to report.

"Okay, keep chasing, don't leave any alive!" Chu Ze said coldly. (End of this chapter)
