The winding tributary (duong river) flows into the river, and the other side of the river is not far from Shenglong.

There are many bamboos growing on the river bank. On the plains slightly far from the river bank, woods, rice fields and villages are staggered. The scattered Ming soldiers are holding bows and crossbows and searching carefully in the woods. There must be Ming soldiers within five steps around.

Zhang Fu, the right deputy general of Pingyi, was by the forest. He swept through the weeds with a scabbard, walked to a tree, slapped his palm on the trunk, and looked up at the branches and leaves on it.

He needs to find the right trees and build the warship as soon as possible.

Although Shenglong City seemed to be close, the Annan Army had already transferred or burned the large ships on the rivers near Beijiang Prefecture on the north bank of the river. The Annan Army also deployed the main force of the navy on the river near Shenglong. Without the Ming army gradually becoming a naval army, it would be impossible for the Ming army to cross the river from here.

The court ordered the army to end the Annan War before February next year. Time was tight. Zhang Fu left the Western Army camp two days ago and rushed back to the army the night before yesterday. As soon as he came back, he ordered the troops to choose places to build warships.

At this moment, the two riders ran in parallel on the road on the river bank, raising a stream of dust. Zhang Fu and the generals around him couldn't help but look at each other.

After a while, a soldier came to report: "Master General, the King of Han has a military order to send it to the Central Army!"

"Send it here." A general next to him nodded when he saw Zhang Fu nodding, and shouted for help.

When the knights submitted a military order, Zhang Fu first opened the lacquer seal and saw that it was written by the King of Han, with a strong and powerful style of a famous artist. He wrote: Our troops had captured Mumaru Prefecture at night yesterday, and they were arrested, burned warships and captured Dajiang to meet each other. He began to build a floating bridge this morning. The troops of the Xincheng Hou of the Eastern Army, Keri led his troops to approach Mumaru Prefecture, crossed the Dajiang River, and joined forces to Duobang City.

When Zhang Fu saw this, he was stunned for a while. He checked the materials and the location of the paint seal again, and there was no problem. Moreover, the words on the letter were indeed written by the King of Han, and the writing was very smooth and there was no trace of imitation.

"Master, what happened?" the general beside him asked curiously.

Zhang Fu handed the letter to his left and left, and said expressionlessly: "The King of Han has captured Mumaru Prefecture."

He thought about it in his mind that it only took two days for the Han Wang Army to capture Kimaruzhou? Zhang Fu was from the Han Wang Army camp who had just left two days ago. At that time, he saw with his own eyes that the fortifications of the siege had just been built and even the ladder was still under construction. He was shelled for a while that afternoon, and the Ming army had not yet officially launched the siege.

According to the letter, the King of Han only had the day before yesterday and two days ago.

When Zhang Fugang knew about this military situation, he was a little unbelievable because he had never expected that Mumaru Shu was so vulnerable!

He personally visited Mumaruzhou. The city was a strong city even in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. The city was heavily defended, with weapons in many places, and was prepared for it... The Mumaruzhou defender had an advantage, with the south gate close to the river, and the Annan army also controlled the river surface of the river. In this way, there would be no shortage of ammunition, food and grass, and could receive reinforcements at any time.

If you are not lucky in such a city, you may not be able to capture it for two years. Why did the King of Han attack the city in two days?

Zhang Fu was very confused for a moment, because at that time he clearly saw that the King of Han was slowly building siege fortifications in Mumaru Prefecture, unlike a sudden attack while he was unprepared.

The generals started to discuss, and some people said, "The King of Han is indeed powerful. When he heard that he was able to fight and make great contributions during the 'Jingnan Battle'." "There are many bamboos and wood nails on the Baihe River to hinder water transportation. The King of Han has no ships. How could he take down the enemy warships on the river..."

Zhang Fu was also as curious as his generals. After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered what the King of Han said: No matter how the city is, people are guarding it, and it still depends on people.

For a moment, Zhang Fu felt a little sad and unhappy, but he was ashamed of his heart and thought that how could a real man do this? What's more, a friendly army wins, it's a good thing for the overall situation!

Perhaps there is a reason for the displeasure in his heart. Two days ago, the King of Han ordered that the Ming army attacked Mumaru Prefecture while building warships in the east to find more opportunities to cross the river... Although this was the deployment of the main general, there was a faint sense of competition. After all, the King of Han was responsible for Mumaru Prefecture, and Zhang Fu was doing business near Beijiang Prefecture.

Now Zhang Fu has not even cut down the trees, and there is no shadow in the warship. The King of Han is about to cross the river! Although the overall situation is a victory, Zhang Fu feels that he has lost very thoroughly in the competition. Who can be more happy if he loses?

There seems to be another reason. Although the King of Han is the prince and the emperor's son, his identity has no effect on the victory or defeat on the battlefield. The King of Han is only in his twenties; Zhang Fu is in his early thirties, and is eight years older than the King of Han. Zhang Fu subconsciously thought, if the King of Han can practice for eight years, wouldn't he be completely inferior to him?

Zhang Fu is still very angry, and he feels a little dissatisfied or unwilling to accept it in his heart.

He was silent for a moment and said, "I ordered all the generals to stop logging, and the entire army was ready to decapitate the camp and approach Mumaru Prefecture to the west!"

"Get orders!"

Zhang Fu issued an order to cooperate with the Han Wang army without hesitation. The overall situation is the overall situation, not to mention that the Han Wang is the person with the highest military power. If he is for selfishness and ignores the situation of the war, Zhang Fu would feel that he is a mediocre general with no intention and is not qualified to compare with others.

...Zhu Gaoxu saw so many foreign girls in the lobby of Mumaru Prefecture. Although they were noble prostitutes, Zhu Gaoxu was still very moved. He was tall, short, fat and thin inside. Some were very beautiful and some had too dark skin, but they were all very young.

He walked to the middle of the lobby and looked at the little girl quietly. After coming out of Yunnan Prefecture, Zhu Gaoxu hadn't been close to women for several months... When he was in the Han Palace, he was not a stunning beauty, so he looked down on him at all. However, he had never been involved in women for several months, but suddenly became so hungry that he could eat. He saw some young ladies and felt that they were very good-looking.

Regardless of whether the figures of the girls had visual impact, Zhu Gaoxu also felt very beautiful when he looked at the unique female body lines. His eyes were very careful, looking down from their bulging chest-like soft waists.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him for a while, and suddenly turned around and found that Zhao Ping was looking at him. The two looked at each other, a little embarrassed for a moment. Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: "I still like women who are neither fat nor thin. Too much meat or no meat at all will destroy the woman's figure. Which one would you like?"

Zhao Ping hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "These women are all Ruan Gonggui's toys. When the prince breaks through this city, they are all things in your pocket, not what you should think of."

"You guy, hehe!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was very excited, Zhao Ping seemed to relax a little, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you pick some of the ones you like? The brothers will ask them to check it out later, ask them to wash their bodies, and send them to the prince's room."

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu made an unknown voice.

At this time, a tall woman in a long white dress walked forward two steps, smiled slightly, and said in awkward Chinese words: "Prince, do you want me?"

"Ha, she can speak Chinese, just her." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the woman and said.

He became more interested and immediately began to patrol his spoils and choose among a group of women. He found a little girl with a round face, a slightly pointed chin, and very delicate and cute, so she stopped and took a look.

Unexpectedly, the round-faced girl curled up, looking scared, and showed a look of disgust. Zhu Gaoxu was not forced to do anything, and immediately looked elsewhere.

Another petite little girl raised her chest, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, put her hand in front of her abdomen and moved slightly upwards, as if she was saying that although she was small, she was full. Zhu Gaoxu felt that her face was average, and he might be more accustomed to the face of Han girls. These Annan girls' eyes were generally darker, but fortunately, the girl's skin was still fair.

"And she." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I've asked the two little ladies to serve the bed."

After he said that, he said to Zhao Ping: "Ruan Gonggui is here alone. If the soldiers don't work hard, the city will be destroyed in two days. I cannot forget my brothers. The remaining large group of prostitutes, girls, and actors were brought to the barracks and asked the brothers who attacked the city walls to enjoy them first yesterday."

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to rob civilian wives and women."

And these girls in the lobby are Ruan Gonggui's playful girls, so they must have bought them for money, and in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, they are not considered robbing the people.

For a moment, the women in the lobby started to quarrel. Some of them should have understood what Zhu Gaoxu said. At this time, Chinese is a common language in various countries, and history books in most countries in the East are written in classical Chinese. However, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand what they said.

The round-faced girl who dodged Zhu Gaoxu just now stood up and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a gaze. She couldn't speak Chinese, but perhaps she had heard her sisters say something happened. She said a few words to Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu was confused and didn't even understand a word.

He didn't care whether the little girl could understand it or not, and said in Chinese: "The Ming army brothers who went to the city first are all heroes. You should feel honored to be able to serve the heroes and serve them well!"

The two young ladies, one tall and one short, were actually grabbed by Zhu Gaoxu’s hair and clothes by several ladies and screamed.

"He's mother!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed.

Zhao Ping immediately rushed forward with several generals, pulled the women apart, and slapped the woman who was causing trouble. Another general pulled out the Yanling sword, and his bright weapons deterred the people who caused trouble. Zhao Ping had no choice but to call the two girls and take them out of the lobby.

Zhu Gaoxu also turned around and left. When he came outside the lobby, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly found Zhao Ping laughing secretly, and frowned and said, "What's ridiculous?"

Zhao Ping said: "My general is rude, the prince forgives his crime.My general suddenly remembered the round-faced actor. The prince didn't want to choose her, but wanted to stay as a camp player. I couldn't help but find it funny. There are more than 100,000 people in our army, and those dozens of women, even each of whom serves twenty men every day, can't be busy..."

"Uh!" Zhu Gaoxu made a sound without comment.

It is not a good thing for the general to be greedy for women on the battlefield, but letting the soldiers share it will be beneficial to morale. Zhu Gaoxu thought in his heart that it is much better than to rob soldiers, burn and kill and insult the people's wives and daughters. After all, the toys left by Ruan Gonggui were originally prostitutes and girls, and the difference was nothing more than to serve the rulers of Annan Kingdom or the soldiers of the Ming army.

After a while, the eunuch Cao Fu arrived at the government office, and Zhu Gaoxu asked Cao Fu to take the two ladies away and go out to the riverside first.

In the evening, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Central Army headquarters near the yamen. The two little girls were quickly sent to the bedroom with Cao Fu.

The petite little girl can't speak Chinese, and the other one is not very straightforward. The tall girl asked Zhu Gaoxu if she was taking a shower. Zhu Gaoxu nodded and prepared to take a hot shower and rest first.

When the two little ladies helped him untied his clothes, Zhu Gaoxu asked casually: "Why did the women in the lobby suddenly beat you?"

The tall girl raised her mouth and said, "They called us shameless, but they were actually just jealous. The women who served Mr. Ruan were all clever and said bad things on their faces!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

The little girl immediately started to say bad things about others, "The little girl who is walking with the prince today is the worst. She always pretends to be noble and secretly is shameless than anyone else..."
