Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 224 The Real Purpose (1)

"Emperor, you should sit in the imperial capital to hone your skills and strive to be promoted to Grand Master as soon as possible. In addition, the emperor should also pay more attention to the children of the royal family and cultivate talents."

After hearing what Emperor Hongwu said, Emperor Xiaokang nodded helplessly!
Although Emperor Xiaokang mostly showed himself to be elegant and easy-going, his bravery and resolute character were definitely not inferior to anyone!Emperor Xiaokang was also very eager to expand his territory and attack the Song Empire, but he knew in his heart that Emperor Hongwu would not let himself be put in danger now.

Emperor Xiaokang's martial arts qualifications are the highest among many princes, and he is also the most promising to be promoted to the land of gods!Now, his breakthrough as a grandmaster is imminent, and Emperor Hongwu will never let him go out!

Although he knew in his heart that Emperor Hongwu was doing it for his own good, Emperor Xiaokang felt really helpless!
In the past few years, he had put a lot of effort into maintaining the situation of the Ming Empire. Even when facing the Song Empire's envoys, he did not dare to offend!
In the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Xiaokang was magnanimous and possessed of both virtue and virtue.But Emperor Xiaokang was the eldest son of Emperor Hongwu who emerged from troubled times and the second emperor of the Ming Empire. He was not a city defender!Emperor Xiaokang never lacks decisiveness in killing!

Knowing a son is better than a father, how could Emperor Hongwu not know the little thoughts of Emperor Xiaokang!
"Emperor, Lao Jiu has set the goal of unifying China for the Ming Empire. We also think this goal is good. However, if the Ming Empire wants to unify China, it needs the power to suppress the world. Therefore, our Ming royal family needs more land gods. Not just you, the second, third, fourth, fifth, and the prince will all be promoted to land gods in the future, so that the Ming Empire that unifies China can securely dominate the world!"

"But everything has a beginning and an end, and the strength of the Ming royal family must be accumulated little by little! Emperor, you sit in the imperial capital to cultivate talents for the royal family. Only in this way will our Ming Dynasty dominate China!"

After Emperor Hongwu finished speaking, Emperor Xiaokang nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I understand the importance!"

Zhu Qi said with a smile: "Brother Emperor, all the countries in the mainland of China coexist. If the Song Empire is gone, there will still be five grassland countries! Brother Emperor is afraid that there will be no opportunity to expand the territory!"

Emperor Xiaokang smiled and said: "Ninth brother is right, I was wrong! Never mind! I will be in charge of the imperial capital for this Northern Expedition, and my ninth brother will do the logistics!"

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xiaokang looked at Zhu Qi who was playing tricks and said, "You!"

"Lao Jiu, my father is in the imperial capital; I am also stationed in the imperial capital, preparing logistics for the Northern Expedition. I wonder what the regulations are for your Northern Expedition!" Emperor Xiaokang asked with a smile!

Zhu Qi: "I have a plan before, so please discuss it with your royal brothers and father!"

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, Emperor Xiaokang smiled and said: "Ninth Brother's plan is a bit more complete than what I said last time at the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion!"

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "Times have changed. Last time, my father's cultivation level was not promoted. Naturally, I have to leave room for planning! Now my father has been promoted to a land god, hey! This Northern Expedition will not only bring the Song Empire into In the bag, even the Xixia Empire must be taken advantage of!"

Emperor Hongwu frowned slightly and said: "Old Jiu, there is no problem in taking over the Song Empire, but now we are a bit eager to plan the Xixia Empire!" Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Father, this three-pronged army of the Northern Expedition actually has two routes. They are all prepared for the grassland! After the army from the middle route went south to the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, the troops split into two groups and quickly moved westward to take over the passes of the Song Empire on the western grassland border! Wei Guogong was in charge of the border of the Khitan (Liao) Empire, and King Jingjiang was in charge of the Jin Empire. Border; with two people here, the empire doesn’t have to worry about the Khitan Empire and the Dajin Empire affecting the empire’s Northern Expedition!”

"As for the attack on the territory of the Song Empire, Duke Youxin and several royal brothers will be in charge, and they will surely be able to quickly stabilize the situation!"

"The Xixia Empire has been losing ground in the face of the Song Empire's frontier troops in recent years! How can it be the opponent of the army on the left! When Cao Guogong leads his troops to the Xixia Imperial Capital, the second brother will lead the troops to sweep the Xixia city! They will definitely be able to wipe out the Xixia Empire! "

Emperor Hongwu's eyes lit up and he said: "You are attacking the Song Dynasty openly and taking Xixia secretly!"

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "Once Wei Guogong's middle army can quickly occupy the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, the Song Empire will be at your fingertips! At that time, the empire's Northern Expedition will create a huge momentum! The eyes of the five grassland countries will definitely be attracted by the empire's Northern Expedition. Attracted by this, a surprise attack by the army from the left at this time will definitely catch the Xixia Empire by surprise!"

"Hehe! By then, even if the Xixia Empire asks for help from the Khitan Empire and the Jin Empire, and the armies of Wei Guogong and King Jingjiang have arrived at the borders of the two countries, the Khitan Empire and the Dajin Empire will never dare to rush to send troops to rescue! The Xixia Empire alone can Without strength, it is absolutely impossible to resist the imperial army!"

Emperor Hongwu nodded and said: "This method is good, but the key is to quickly capture the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Father, the Song Empire has been established for many years. Although there have been occasional rebellions in local areas, the Song Dynasty has never been exposed to war. In these years, the Song Dynasty official Wen Tian was wary, and the imperial capital's soldiers and horses were vigilant. The performance is not high at all! Coupled with the food and grass prepared by the Martial Arts Alliance in advance along the road, the army in the middle road will advance all the way, and there will not be a big problem!"

Emperor Hongwu was a master in the art of war. Although Zhu Qi's plan was risky, it was indeed good to destroy both countries in one battle and lay the foundation for future attacks on the grasslands!
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Hongwu asked: "Those two people from the Song Empire and Xixia Empire need our help!"

Zhu Qi shook his head and said: "Father, I just want to make arrangements in the imperial capital with peace of mind. I will arrange the arrangements for those two! If my calculation is correct, after the left army attacks the Xixia Empire, they will not be able to help but come to the imperial capital to test!"

Emperor Hongwu was startled and then smiled and said: "You are forcing them to come here to test it with this arrangement!"

Zhu Qi: "My dear father! If the empire takes over the Song Empire and then swallows up the Xixia Empire, they will definitely not be able to sit still! Wei Guogong and King Jingjiang are stationed on the border between the Khitan Empire and the Great Jin Empire; the Qing Empire and the Great Yuan Empire are By the way, General Chang has been waiting for a long time! If the army fails to attack, they can only come to the imperial capital in person!"

Emperor Hongwu looked a little solemn and said: "Old Jiu, from what you can see, how many of them will come to the imperial capital!"
