"Your Majesty, this is the King of Chu's Mansion."

Although Hong Chengchou ordered people to demolish the walls of the Chu Prince's Mansion, the main building of the Chu Prince's Mansion was basically preserved.

But when Li Dingguo said this, he was obviously a little embarrassed.

When he followed his adoptive father to fight, he naturally had to rob him when he reached Huguang.

After conquering Wuchang, they robbed them for a whole three days.

Although these are the past events, they still leave a deep mark.

Although the emperor didn't say it, he must still feel resentful in his heart, right?

"Although I don't know the King of Chu, I still hope that the Chu Fan can survive the descendants, at least to continue the incense of this lineage."

Zhu Youlang paused and said, "Transfer my will to search for descendants of the Chu family in Wuchang City."

Although he knew that there were very few opportunities to find the descendants of the King of Chu, Zhu Youlang still wanted to give it a try.

This can be regarded as a gesture to appease the people of Chu.

"I obey the order!"

Li Dingguo quickly responded.

Your Majesty is giving him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service. He must seize it!

"Your Majesty also asks you to rest in the Chu Palace first, wait for me to control the entire city, wipe out the remnants of the Eastern Captains before reporting to Your Majesty."

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Where are the remnants of the Donglu now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, most of the Eastern Captains fled to the Snake Mountain, trying to resist stubbornly."

Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said, "But your Majesty, please rest assured. Before sunset today, I will lead my troops to take down Snake Mountain and kill the heads of the thieves."

Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction: "I am waiting for good news for the King of Jin here!"

...

...

Under the command of the Wuchang General, the Qing army built several simple lines of defense above the Snake Mountain.

In fact, they also knew in their hearts that Snake Mountain could not be defended at all.

Even a strong city like Wuchang cannot be defended, let alone a mountain?

But even ants survive, let alone humans?

It is a moment to live, and no one wants to be cut off and buried underground until the last moment.

Even if you really want to die, you have to put on a few cushions.

Otherwise, wouldn't this be in vain?

"Sir General, this stone path is the only way to go up the mountain. As long as we set up an ambush here, we will definitely cause heavy losses to the Ming thieves."

"Hmph, if you want me to die, you have to pay your life."

His heart was full of anger and resentment. Hu Quancai, the dog thief, left them and ran away alone, completely ignoring their life and death.

A sense of humiliation that he was regarded as an abandoned child filled his heart.

This evil fire has nowhere to vent, and it makes people feel bored.

Since you are destined to see blood, then fight to the death!

...

...

"Brother Xuzi, please take a rest."

When Li Shitou saw Zhao Xu covered in blood, he felt inexplicably sad.

"Sit down quickly and take a rest and have a drink of water."

The two of them ate and lived together can be said to be a friendship that was absent.

Although I knew that Zhao Xu was not seriously injured, Li Shitou was still very uncomfortable when he saw his appearance.

"It doesn't matter, it's all skin trauma. Just simply deal with it and bandage it."

Zhao Xu grinned and was in a very good mood.

Although the process of attacking Wuchang was a little harder, it was finally taken down.

Just take it down, and they won't waste their hard work.

"But if you want to say that Brother Xuzi, you have given us a face this time. Our Hu Ben Army has always been suppressed by the Jin King Army. Although His Majesty doesn't say it, he will definitely feel unhappy. This time you are the first to climb to the city, and we will all benefit from it with you."

"Haha, I'm just lucky."

Zhao Xu said a little embarrassedly.

The two were chatting and laughing, and then a man dressed in an eunuch came on a horse.

"Well!"

He tightened the reins of the horse and flipped it down from the horse's back.

"Which is General Zhao Xu and General Zhao?"

He asked in a loud voice after glance.

“That’s right.”

Zhao Xu bowed and said.

"Ah General Zhao!"

The eunuch narrowed his eyes and smiled at Zhao Xu: "It's such a General Zhao. Your Majesty has heard of your courage and specially issued an order to summon you."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Your Majesty wants to summon me?"

"Yes, you are the first warrior to climb to the top of Wuchang City. Your Majesty said you would reward you heavily."

Zhao Xu said in panic: "What kind of virtue is me? I have such kindness and love from Your Majesty!"

"Oh, General Zhao, don't thank you here. If you want to thank you, you should be in front of His Majesty."

The eunuch pulled Zhao Xu's arm and was about to walk out.

"Your Majesty is still waiting, so General Zhao should not delay."

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "How can I get to the face of the saint in this way? According to the etiquette, the face of the saint is not allowed to bathe incense and change clothes?"

"Oh, General Zhao, I don't have so many things to pay attention to now. Your Majesty is waiting in the palace. If you take a bath, burn incense and change your clothes, it will take half an hour to finish it? Isn't this suitable?"

Zhao Xu thought to himself, so was it.

But now he is wearing blood and faces the saint, wouldn’t he be disrespectful to the emperor?

It's really a headache.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu said in a deep voice: "Why should I change my armor first and then follow the emperor to face the emperor?"

The eunuch shook his head like a rattle: "How many times do we have to say about General Zhao before we understand? Your Majesty is in a hurry to see you now. It doesn't matter what you dress like. It's important to enter the palace quickly."

Li Shitou pulled the corner of Zhao Xu's clothes and gave him a wink.

It is not a good choice to fight against Zhongzhi, otherwise if Zhongzhi slanders a few words in front of the emperor, good things will become bad things.

"Okay, I will follow the Qin envoy to enter the palace."

Zhao Xu finally nodded.

"That's right. As long as His Majesty is happy, everything will be easy to do!"

"Take a horse!"

After Zhao Xu said that, Li Shitou hurriedly brought the horses and personally helped Zhao Xu get on the horse.

Zhao Xu cast a grateful look at him and said, "Thank you, brother!"

"Look at your brother Xuzi, why are we brothers so happy for you? You are summoned by the emperor and your brothers."

Zhao Xu still felt a little embarrassed.

The Hu Ben Army made great contributions not only by Zhao Xu, but by all the soldiers.

How could he take all the credit on himself?

No, this time he must ask for merit for the brothers of the Hu Ben Army!

But Zhao Xu and Zhong Envoy took a horse and whipped it to the King of Chu's mansion.

There were guarded Ming soldiers along the way, and Zhao Xu nodded secretly in his heart.

Whether it is the subordinates of Li Dingguo or the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army, the military discipline is maintained very well and can be completely unreasonable to the people.

This is very important.

The people have suffered from the tyranny of the Eastern Captain for a long time. When they encounter such a lenient army and emperor, they will naturally be happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, this is not a false saying.

Only by obtaining the support of the people of Wuchang and even Huguang can the Ming army gain a foothold in Huguang.
