Zhou Yu was extremely courageous. Not only did he personally come to the Xuan Mansion, which was very problematic in the eyes of the court, but he could not tear up the shameful paper no matter what, he also brought 5,000 people but arranged them directly in other places.

, he ran to the back hall of Yang Mansion.

If Yang Hong and Wala colluded and wanted to do something, then Zhou Yu would make the sky and the earth useless.

Even Yu Qian didn't expect that King Tan in front of him would be so bold. Yu Qian thought that he rushed to Zhu Di's camp to steal wine and let Zhu Gaochi make tea himself, but he also dared to roar directly at Zhu Zhanji.

A little fear arose in Chao Laochen's heart. He had never met such a prince who would take his own life rather than his own.

Yu Qian was a straight person, so he immediately shouted: "No!"

"Yes, I almost missed the main thing." Zhou Yu suddenly clapped his hands and smiled at Yang Hong: "The generals have to unite the army. If there are not a few generals, it will be really inconvenient for General Yang.

, In that case, it is enough for you, Your Majesty, to come together with me. I also have some things that I would like to discuss with Old General Yang. Old General, please lead the way, and we will talk as we go."

Yu Qian widened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Yu in disbelief, but Zhou Yu had already pulled Yang Hong one step ahead.

Zhou Yu said with a smile on his face and a tone full of admiration and praise: "General Yang has been serving the country since my great-grandfather was in power. He followed my great-grandfather in the Northern Expedition, and later accompanied Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, in the Dasong Ridge expedition, and guarded the border for many years.

He has also made great contributions. If the Ming Dynasty can produce more strong-minded men like generals, why worry that the Ming Dynasty cannot completely defeat Oala."

These words made Yang Hong blush, feeling ashamed and flustered at the same time: "King Xi, I just did my duty. This time I made a mistake... I knew I had made a big mistake, but I still asked.

King Yin can give the general a chance, and after this battle is over, the general will be at the mercy of the king."

"Disposal?" Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and said: "If after the war the general can defeat the enemy and seriously injure Wala's vitality, then he will not only be innocent but also have great merit. I am also prepared to persuade the Empress Dowager to confer the title of Hou Yian on the general.

The heart of a general."

"Female Marquis?" Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said in a panic: "My lord, you must not do this..."

Zhou Yu gently patted Yang Hong on the shoulder and interrupted him: "I know that the general feels guilty. Because he did not go to rescue His Majesty in the battle of Tumubao, he is probably worried about the court's accountability day and night. But the general is strong and loyal.

Everyone in the court knows that Gan Yidan is a good man. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not let the general guard Xuanfu. However, the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing. No one knows that Your Majesty will suddenly divert to Tumu Fort. What is in the General's mind?

I know all your thoughts and worries."

"Your Majesty!" Yu Qian suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "Since the rebels invaded the border, the general's son Yang Jun was defeated by the wind and abandoned Dushi Yongning and other eleven cities together, leaving the border defenses empty and the bandits coming and going as if they were there.

In a land where there is no one, how can one make such a big mistake and become a prince?"

"This is merit." Zhou Yu said lightly: "Securing the Xuan Mansion is a merit and it must be a merit. Sir, you are too straightforward. How can more than 10,000 people defend a total of fourteen castles and checkpoints around the Xuan Mansion?

How many people can be drawn from them to resist the Oara army, and how many people can be drawn to rescue His Majesty? If you go, you will die. As a general, it is your duty to be loyal to the country, but in order to fulfill your duty, the country will lose the important land of Xuanfu.

More serious.”

"My lord, do you know that although I am a supervisor of the country, I don't know anything about these military reports. These military reports were not sent to me until the Emperor Mengchen and the Queen Mother banned them. If not, why would I be so passive now... Alas, let the general

What a joke. In fact, even if I know that these Queen Mothers are in front of me, I can’t make any decisions. But I know very well that the general is just here.

In the dilemma, he made a choice that was more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Fight to the death of the savior and cause the loss of this important city that could finally be nailed to the enemy, or defend the Ming Dynasty gate and maintain the integrity of the country to buy time. The general chose the latter regardless of the situation.

Personal honor and disgrace are devoted to the Ming Dynasty. This is a great achievement. If the Ming Dynasty is safe and stable, your Majesty will naturally be safe and worry-free."

Yang Hong's face was filled with tears, and he knelt down directly towards Zhou Yu: "Thank you... King Tan."

"Please get up quickly." Zhou Yu helped Yang Hong stand up again and said: "I also ask the general to understand that although I want to make the general a marquis, it is really not a good opportunity at this time, but after this battle

After this is over, I will definitely make the general a marquis, this is my promise."

Yang Hong looked touched: "The last general...the last general will definitely work to the death to repay the favor of the prince."

"There is no need to fight to the death, what I want is a living general, a general who can bring victory to the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu nodded lightly, took Yang Hong's hand and said: "Maybe there are people in the army who don't understand the general's choice and question it. Now I will rectify the general's name. The general's choice is right, and I am willing to cooperate with him."

The generals walk side by side."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will... I will definitely do meritorious service and live up to Your Majesty's trust."

Zhou Yu said again: "Don't let down the Ming Dynasty, don't let down the court. I am just an idle little king, but I think I am quite capable. I guarantee that what Yang Jun did will be punished after the war."

When you mention it again, just like your lord, in order to avoid verbally criticizing the general, you should remind General Yang to perform more meritorious service after he returns."

Yang Hong choked with sobs and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely let that boy kill the enemy ruthlessly. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he will not disappoint Your Majesty's care."

"I know life here is also difficult." Zhou Yu changed his tone unknowingly and said, "Although I will take away the five thousand cavalry who came with me this time when I leave, I have also arranged for twenty thousand soldiers.

We can reach here by staying day and night, and then the general will make good arrangements to kill the bandits in Shangwala and catch them off guard."

"Twenty thousand!"

Yang Hong took a deep breath.

"Twenty thousand, this is all I can spare for the time being. I hope the general will understand."

"That's enough, that's enough." Yang Hong nodded and shook his head. His eyes were a little red and he looked at Zhou Yu, who was in a hurry and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Yu smiled and said nothing more.

Yang Hong was able to fight from a hundred households to now. It's not true that Zhou Yu could move him to tears with just a few words. It can only be said that most of what he showed in front of Zhou Yu now was just an act.

, but he was certainly moved. The most important thing is that he was truly relieved.

Those 20,000 troops were a timely response to the current situation. After all, once a war breaks out, Xuanfu will be the frontline, so there will be no panic if there are too many people.

Yu Qian was frowning all the way. Anyway, he didn't dare to say anything more. Now he could see that Zhou Yu came here really just for the sake of An Xuan Mansion. If he could make everyone in the Xuan Mansion work together to protect him,

This is a good thing for the country, and Yu Qian will naturally not interfere with it.

When they arrived at the place, Yang Hong personally led Zhou Yu into the mansion and felt a little embarrassed: "It's a humble house, please don't be offended, Your Majesty."

"It's okay." Zhou Yu looked around and said, "I have wronged the general. After I return, I will order people to prepare a house worthy of the title for the general."

Yang Hong quickly said: "This... general has not yet accomplished his merits, so the prince does not have to spend any money."

"Huh." Yu Qian snorted, glanced at Yang Hong and said: "You, the prince, really can't run away. If the prince asks you to take it, then you will take it. You are so fake in front of me that it makes people sick, as long as you

Only if father and son can fight bravely against the enemy loyally and for the country."

Yang Hong pretended that he couldn't hear and couldn't see, and listened to only half of it. He bowed to Zhou Yu and saluted: "General, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

"You two should be old acquaintances." Zhou Yu smiled and said: "You two are the humerus of the imperial court. You have to cooperate more in the future. I will not care about you. You are really tired.

no."

Yang Hong said quickly: "I will take the prince to rest right now."

When they arrived at the resting place, Yang Hong thoughtfully arranged for a maid to come and take care of him and arrange everything properly.

After applying the medicine, Zhou Yuzhen fell on the bed and immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep. In addition to being tired, his body was also a little weak. Before falling asleep, Zhou Yu was still thinking about how to improve his body, but he hadn't figured it out yet.

As a result, he fell asleep.

I slept soundly without being disturbed. When I opened my eyes again, it was already night outside. As soon as I woke up from the bed and made some noise, the maid opened the door cautiously and walked in.

Seeing that it was indeed Zhou Yu who had woken up, he quickly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, please rest well. My maid will help you wash and change your clothes."

"Um."

The maid first lit a candle and then quickly washed and changed Zhou Yu's clothes. She then brought Zhou Yu meals and took good care of him.

Just when Zhou Yu was eating and thinking about exercising, Yu Qian buried his head and walked in anxiously: "My lord, please excuse me. I have an urgent military affairs report."

"explain."

Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Qian, and found that Yu Qian's body was still trembling, but his face was filled with anger but he was deliberately suppressing it: "Your Majesty, you are just outside the city gate first, and...and...your majesty is also outside the city,

This is simply a great shame and humiliation, a great shame and humiliation.”

Zhou Yu stood up, picked up a steamed bun, put on his fur robe, and walked out of the house quickly: "What are you doing standing still? Lead the way!"

It didn't take long for Zhou Yu to stand on the city wall. The light from the torches under the city gate illuminated the outside of the city gate. There was a vaguely large army waiting not far from the city gate, as if they were ready to attack the city at any time.

.

The soldiers in the city were also ready to fight, but on the city wall, Zhou Yu used the light of torches to notice that the expressions on the faces of the officers gathered at the city gate were extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty."

"My lord, you are here."

Zhou Yu nodded lightly in response. He stood in front of the battlements and looked down at the city. A young man wearing only shorts was standing underneath, shivering from the cold, being pressed down by several Wala soldiers.

When Zhou Yu saw this person, he knew who he was. He paused and said as if he was surprised: "Who is below!"

"Second brother, it's me!" The light hedgehog below suddenly showed a hint of excitement when he saw Zhou Yu, and shouted loudly: "Second brother, please order the city gate to be opened to welcome me back to the capital!!"

"You are..." Zhou Yu was also horrified and shouted: "You look too much like the emperor of this dynasty, but you are too dark, and you are also a thief. Tumubao, you killed my dynasty's majesty, and now I don't know where you came from."

You found a skinny man as slim as mud and pretended to be your Majesty in an attempt to open the city gate to disturb the morale of our troops. What are your intentions, thief!"

As soon as these words came out, the people on the city wall were stunned, and the people under the city wall were also stunned.

The people below were so anxious that they immediately jumped: "Second brother! It's me, it's really me! I'm not dead!"

Yu Qian reacted and roared angrily: "Your Majesty! Don't you know the people in the city!?"

"General Yang." Zhou Yu said lightly: "Have someone shut his mouth."

Yang Hong looked at Zhou Yu, gritted his teeth and gestured to Yu Qian to hold him down and cover his mouth.
