Chapter 153
War is really a simple thing sometimes.

Morale is a virtual thing, but you can feel it, because the high emotions of the soldiers will always remind you how strong the morale of this team is.

But human beings are made of flesh and blood after all. Even if you are victorious in every battle, you still cannot guarantee that your soldiers will remain unscathed.

Looking at the jar in front of him, Zhu Zhanhe let out a long sigh.

Since his expedition to Japan, he has now taken over the territories of four great feudal lords: Hizen, Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Toyozen. The casualties of the soldiers have finally reached [-].

"His Royal Highness..." Li Bin looked at the silent Zhu Zhanhe in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact, the Ming army's casualties were not small when they were on the grassland, and the number of frontal battles was not as many as this time. But the main problem was that Zhu Zhanhe had never dealt with these matters before.

Although he had done the work of raising cattle for farming, after all, he had never directly dealt with the issue of the remains of casualty soldiers. The impact of the two situations was different.

"I'm fine." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and stood up.

"Where's Mu Xin?"

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe was already on the Hizen coast. He had already joined forces with Liu Sheng's Shenji Camp and completely occupied the northern shore of Shikoku Island. Liu Sheng had completed the rendezvous.

The next problem is to stabilize these areas that have been conquered and pave the way for future logistical supplies.

"Back to Your Highness, Prince Consort Mu is already on Tsushima Island. He is in the process of explaining the supply matters to North Korea and should be here soon."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded, but didn't say anything.

For this expedition, including the Three Thousand Battalion and Shenji Battalion, Zhu Zhanhe could mobilize less than 12 combat troops, so he did not want to waste too much time and experience on supplies, which is why he agreed to take Mu Xin Reason for coming.

"Your Highness!"

Just when Zhu Zhanhe was about to find a place to rest and wait for Mu Xin to come over, a voice made him stop.

"Last General Liu Sheng has met His Highness!" Liu Sheng first greeted Zhu Zhanhe, and then pulled someone over.

"Your Highness, Consort Mu said that this is the bodyguard of His Highness the King of Han. He is from Yunnan. His Highness the King of Han has some words for him to pass on."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanhe frowned and turned his head to look at the man.

He doesn't know this person.

At the beginning, there were nearly 2000 guards who followed the king of the Han Dynasty. This is not a lot for a vassal king, but it is already a lot for a person's memory.

However, Zhu Zhanhe had no impression of this person at all.

"Understood, is there anything else?"

Although he didn't know who this man was or what he was doing, Zhu Zhanhe knew that Liu Sheng was not lying because his expression and actions did not seem to be fake.

That means that Liu Sheng didn't know.

"No more, I will retire." Liu Sheng bowed.

"Wait a moment." Zhu Zhanhe paused and thought of a question.

"Don't build a Jingguan this time. This place will be a very important supply line in the future. Although the weather is going to be cold soon, we can't take it lightly."

"If it rots, it is likely to cause disease, so get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Liu Sheng bowed and accepted the order, then trotted away.

He really forgot about that.

"Come with me." Zhu Zhanhe glanced at the Hanwang guard Liu Sheng mentioned, and left first after saying a few words.

Inside the temporary tent.

During this expedition to Japan, because the time was too tight and the tasks were too heavy, Zhu Zhanhe was more informal than before, and many details were erased.

At present, the Maekuma Castle in Hizen has been basically abandoned after being captured by the Ming army. There are not many good houses left, so Zhu Zhanhe can only live in tents.

"Tell me, who are you and why are you pretending to be a guard of the King of Han?"

After entering the camp, Zhu Zhanhe slumped down on the chair and asked with his eyes closed.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to etiquette, it's just that he is too tired.

On the side, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping stood in front of Zhu Zhanhe, their hands already on the handle of the knife, their faces full of nervousness.

"Your Highness, please don't be nervous. This villain is Mu's consort's bodyguard. This time, he is here to deliver a message to His Highness on Mu's consort's orders."

The guard saw Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping's reaction and quickly explained.

After saying that, he also took out a small wax pill from his sleeve.

Zhu Ling glanced at Zhu Ping, then stepped forward to take the wax pill, while Zhu Ping was still staring at the man nervously.

"Oh, I'm sorry for you. It's quite rare that it's fine even if you put it in your clothes." Zhu Zhanhe took a breath, then stood up and took the crushed wax pill from Zhu Ling's hand.

Basically, as long as the wax pill is damaged, it will be considered as a leak. The guard is fine even if he keeps the wax pill close to his body, which only means that there are other things in his sleeves.

"Did Aunt Mu give it to you?" After reading the letter in the wax pill, Zhu Zhanhe's brows twisted like twists.

"The villain dare not deceive His Highness."

"I see, you can go back."

"The villain will leave."

……

Looking at the back of the guard leaving, Zhu Zhanhe was thoughtful.

"Zhu Ling, call Zhu Heng over."

"Yes!"

Zhu Heng is Zhu Gaoxu's personal guard. He has been protecting Zhu Gaoxu as early as when the old man was still King Yan.

Zhu Ling is now over forty years old, and is actually no longer suitable to be a guard. After all, he is no better than young people, but he has never left Zhu Gaoxu's side.

In this era, it is difficult to have someone who can be truly trusted next to a person like Zhu Gaoxu.

Now Zhu Heng is actually a man of the world. If there were no orders from Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe, he would basically be commanding and controlling the guards around King Han.

Zhu Gaoxu was not very relieved during this expedition, so he asked Zhu Zhanhe to take him with him.

Zhu Zhanhe thought that one day he would be useful to Zhu Heng, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"After the logistics force stabilizes, you can go back with the ship, go to Yingtian, go directly to Xia Yuanji, and ask him directly about supplies."

"Yes!" Zhu Heng bowed his head without any hesitation.

Zhu Heng knew very well that when Zhu Zhanhe used him, it would be a very important matter.

In the entire Han Dynasty, only he would be given such an important task.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe's younger brother Zhu Zhanqi to gain this kind of trust.

"Remember, there is no need to hide anything. It's okay if Grandpa Huang finds out. If he asks you, just answer truthfully. There's no need to be secretive."

"Yes!"

"Go get ready."

Looking at Zhu Heng's leaving figure, Zhu Zhanhe's eyes narrowed.

Zhu Zhanhe did not dare to say that he had a thorough understanding of his third uncle, but he definitely did not believe that he could do such a thing.

It's not that he has a good impression of his third uncle, it's because the Ming Dynasty's King Zhao is not that good.

"Zhu Ping." After thinking for a long time, Zhu Zhanhe sighed.

"Send an order to Li Bin and Liu Sheng, telling them to remember to send the ashes of these soldiers back properly..."

"If there's nothing important, don't bother me for a while..."

 Ma Dan, I don't feel right...

I'm too unrestrained, let me slow down a bit, otherwise I'm afraid the book will be gone...

Also, there is a new round of bad news. The age for the marriage plot must be found in modern times, otherwise it will be considered a violation, so this plot will be postponed...
