Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 283 Zhu Biao’s breakthrough
The purpose of appointing the prince as the head coach of the Eastern Expedition was to train the prince and increase his qualifications and prestige.The emperor did not dare to leave the actual command of the Eastern Expedition army to the prince.

Naturally, we must mobilize elite soldiers and generals to ensure that the army is victorious!

The deputy commander of the Eastern Expedition is Tang He, an experienced veteran!When Zhu Qi commanded the army to annex the six countries, Tang He stayed behind and suffered a lot of injustice!This time, Tang He served as deputy commander and accompanied the prince on the expedition, which was specially arranged by the emperor.

In addition to the veteran general Tang He in this Eastern Expedition, the emperor focused on using young and strong generals!
The left commander of the Eastern Expedition Army was Zhu Wenzheng, who was responsible for sending troops from the southern region of the empire to attack the Tang Empire.The right commander of the army was Li Wenzhong, who made a surprise attack from Shiwanda Mountain and invaded the Tang Empire.

In addition to the two great commanders Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, the emperor threw all the young and strong generals of the empire into the Eastern Expedition Army.

In addition, the emperor also sent the royal family's children, led by Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi, to participate in the Eastern Expedition to assist the prince!
Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi were Zhu Qi's disciples, the emperor's younger brother and close friends, and the legitimate sons of King Qin and King Jin. With them commanding the Eastern Expedition army, the emperor was very relieved.In fact, if Zhu Gaochi's political ability was not too strong, the emperor would have sent Zhu Gaochi with the army!

After all, it was the first time for the prince to go out for training, so how could the emperor not be worried.

Wuying's first year, July!

The Eastern Expedition Army of the Ming Empire divided into two directions and advanced in parallel to attack the Tang Empire!
The ill-prepared Tang Empire suffered heavy losses, and the border defense armies in the west and south of the Tang Dynasty were almost completely wiped out.

By the end of the year, with the internal support of the Martial Arts League, the Ming Empire's army captured dozens of states and counties!

For a time, the southern territory of the Tang Empire was in ruins!
The Tang Empire was in turmoil, but the Ming Empire was full of joy!
As a message of victory came back, the emperor finally let go of his worries about the prince who was going on an expedition.

The Ming Empire, which occupies half of the mainland of China, is not only powerful in terms of national power, but also has terrifying military strength.

The Ming Empire's cavalry charge alone made the Tang Empire give up on field battles with the Ming Empire!
The Tang Empire is located in the southeastern region of the Middle-earth Continent. Because it is too far away from the northern and western grasslands, the cavalry of the Tang Empire is the biggest weakness of its military!

It’s not that horses can’t be raised in the southern part of the mainland of China, but most of the horses produced are short in stature and are not suitable as war horses at all!

Therefore, the Tang Empire only had a few cavalry units.But how can the cavalry of the Tang Empire compare with the carefully selected elites recruited from the western grasslands by the Ming Empire!

The strongest knights in the three western grassland regions of the Ming Empire were all taken into custody by the Imperial Guard.

The cavalry of the Ming Empire were the most elite knights selected from the guards in the three regions of the grassland.

The cavalry composed of the most elite knights in the entire western grassland, let alone the emasculated version of the cavalry of the Tang Empire, was even the elite army of the Xiongnu Empire, and the Ming Empire was not afraid of it.

The terrifying cavalry of the Eastern Expedition Army directly turned the war into a simple offensive and defensive battle!
The cavalry of the Ming Empire is terrifying, and the infantry is not bad either!

The three grassland regions provide cavalry for the Ming Empire, and the three middle-earth regions provide infantry for the Ming Empire!
There are many more people in the three regions of Middle-earth than in the three regions of Grassland. The soldiers drawn from the various guards in the three regions of Middle-earth are all brave and strong men.Coupled with the siege weapons and armor equipped by the Ming Empire.The Eastern Expedition army can be said to be invincible!

Wu Ying's second year.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Empire marched forward with great success, pushing forward all the way.

The Tang Empire could only use the fortified city and terrain to delay the Ming Empire's offensive!

Faced with the full resistance of the Tang Empire, this year, the Ming Empire still occupied one-fifth of the territory of the Tang Empire.

This year, the Tang Empire was experiencing extremely difficult times, which could be described as internal and external troubles.

In this year, the Tang Empire not only had to face the invading Daiming Empire, but also had to deal with the Jiedushi envoys from various places who were obedient and disobedient to the propaganda.

If there had been no invasion by the Ming Empire, the military governors in various parts of the Tang Empire would not have dared to disobey the empire's orders.

But the main opponent of the Tang Empire now is the Ming Empire, and the Jiedu Envoys from various places have begun to make trouble!Wu Ying three years.

The Ming Empire and the Tang Empire are still fighting fiercely against each other!

But overall, the Ming Empire still maintained an offensive posture.

Early March!
Zhu Qi received a message from the emperor and hurried to the palace. Emperor Xiaokang, who had been in seclusion for many years, was finally about to break through!

"Emperor, don't worry. With my father and ninth brother protecting my brother, my brother will definitely be able to break through safely!" Looking at the impatient emperor, King Qin couldn't help but comfort him.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang. It's just that there has been no movement inside for several days. I'm really..." the emperor said with a frown.

King Qin smiled and said: "The emperor doesn't care about his cultivation, so he doesn't know the key. With the qualifications and background of the emperor's brother, he is [-]% sure of breaking through to the land god at this time. Coupled with the father and the old Jiu Dharma protector, the emperor's brother Breakthroughs are never unexpected.”

After hearing what King Qin said, the emperor felt relieved a little.

"Second brother, when are you going to break through!" King Yan asked in a low voice.

King Qin said with a smile: "I met my ninth brother a few days ago, and my ninth brother suggested that I polish my cultivation for another ten years. Where are you, third, fourth, and fifth?"

King Yan smiled and said: "I'm not as good as my second brother. If my ninth brother asks me to spend more time polishing my skills, I'll probably be a few years behind my second brother."

Prince Jin on the side sighed and said: "You two are okay. If I want to break through, I still need 20 years of hard work!"

King Zhou was free and easy, and said with a smile: "Third brother, it will take at least 30 years for me to break through? I didn't even sigh. Why are you sighing?"

King Jin smiled when he heard this and said: "Lao Wu is right. With my qualifications, it is a blessing to have the opportunity to break through. To ask for more is just greedy."

The emperor on the side smiled and said: "Congratulations to the four imperial uncles, there is hope for a breakthrough."

King Yan smiled and said: "It's too early for you to congratulate. It's not too late to congratulate again when we make a breakthrough!"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke out, which diluted the tense atmosphere a bit.

At this time, King Qin suddenly said: "We are here today because of our ninth brother!"

Everyone agreed with King Qin's sigh.

Not to mention anything else, the "Dragon Martial Scripture" left by Zhu Qi for the royal family alone is enough for the Ming royal family to stand at the top of the Chinese continent!

The emperor nodded and said: "Master's contribution is beyond words. Without Master, the empire would not be in its current situation, let alone have the chance to unify China."

King Qin nodded and said: "The last time I went out to visit my father, my father once said that among our brothers, except for the emperor and the four of us, the sixth and eighth brothers have hope of breakthrough. The other brothers If you work hard, you may not have a chance. If you include Father and Lao Jiu, these are the nine land gods! This does not include the two generations of royal family, the emperor and the prince."

King Yan: "Yes! I'm afraid my father has never thought that our Zhu family would have such a day!"

Emperor: "Uncle Wang, you said one day there will be hundreds of land gods in the royal family. What will happen?"

King Qin smiled and said: "The emperor dares to think of hundreds of land gods. However, I am looking forward to that day."
