Soon, Zhao Xu and the eunuch came to the Chu Palace with the eunuch.

Today, the Chu Palace is extremely dilapidated. The walls of the palace have been demolished and the front of the hall is covered with weeds.

Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable when he saw it.

Even so, through the scale of these buildings, we can also see the prosperity of the Chu Palace back then.

The Ming Dynasty was once very prosperous, and the Chu Palace alone was so grand.

Not to mention the Forbidden City.

Although Zhao Xu had never seen the Forbidden City, he could imagine the magnificence of the Forbidden City, which was really the polar region on earth.

"General Zhao? General Zhao!"

Zhao Xu was thinking happily, but was woken up by the eunuch.

"ah!"

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Let the Zhongjun laugh."

"General Zhao, Your Majesty is here to announce your visit."

"Thank you, Cin."

Zhao Xu rushed to the middle envoy and then strode towards the hall.

The main hall of the Chu King's Mansion has been initially cleaned up. Zhao Xu walked into the hall and walked around the screen and came to a warm pavilion.

Seeing that the emperor was sitting on the bed and drinking tea, Zhao Xu stepped forward and bowed: "My minister Zhao Xu, please see Your Majesty."

Although he had seen the emperor, he still felt very nervous and did not even dare to raise his head.

"General Zhao Xu, General Zhao, I have always been optimistic about you, and you did not disappoint me."

Zhu Youlang nodded in admiration and said, "You are the first person to climb to the top of Wuchang City. You have given the Hu Ben Army a face and I have given the face."

"I thank Your Majesty for the praise!"

Zhao Xu's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Don't be so reserved. There are only me and you here, so sit down."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears.

Your Majesty is going to give him a seat?

Zhao Xu never thought that he could sit down in front of the emperor.

This is really a great honor.

"If I remember correctly, your current official position is a guerrilla general, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I promoted you to deputy general this time to commend you for your contribution in the attack on Wuchang."

Zhao Xu quickly got up and knelt down and kowtowed, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

He was ecstatic.

What is the position of deputy general? He is the second-in-command second only to the general.

When he first joined the army, he thought that he could be a general manager.

Unexpectedly, he gradually became a guerrilla general.

If Zi chose him as his deputy general today, he can be said to have officially entered the ranks of senior generals.

This is really a time when a carp crosses the dragon gate.

"I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"

"Quickly calm down, I don't want to see my minister kneeling all the time."

Zhu Youlang kindly helped Zhao Xu up and said in a harmonious voice: "You were promoted by me. I really hope to see you achieve something, so that I can be glorious."

After a moment of pause, Zhu Youlang continued: "I have always promoted talents without any restrictions. As long as I think I have the ability, I will promote them no matter what my background is. You must do it well, I will be optimistic about you!"

Zhu Youlang said a lot of encouragement words, and then asked Zhao Xu to retreat.

The reason why he vigorously promoted newcomers was because there were too few people around him.

A newcomer has no background, just a piece of white paper.

Zhu Youlang is their backer, and their future lies with Zhu Youlang alone.

If they want their career to improve, they need to rely on Zhu Youlang.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang can hold them firmly in his hands.

How could an emperor have no team of his own?

A young general like Zhao Xu is Zhu Youlang's best team.

This is not because Zhu Youlang does not trust Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo was unquestionably loyal and should not betray Zhu Youlang.

But Zhu Youlang still needs to have a direct descendant, so that he can speak hard and not make the sluts have unnecessary ideas.

As a king, Zhu Youlang sometimes has to consider not only himself, but also the whole world.

The longer he was the emperor, the more Zhu Youlang felt that as the emperor, he was carrying the sun and the moon on his shoulders, and his responsibilities were extremely huge.

He really can't make a mistake in a single step, and the Ming Dynasty really can't withstand any tossing.

...

...

"Your Highness King Jin, do we really want to attack the mountain at this time?"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the personal soldiers asked with some concern.

Attacking the mountains at night is not a wise choice. Donglu can use the dim light to attack ambush.

In addition, the Ming army did not know much about the terrain of Snake Mountain, so it was easy to get caught by people.

If it is an ordinary city, the defending army will be quickly annihilated after the outer city is captured.

But Wuchang is extremely special.

Because of the existence of Snake Mountain, the remnants of the Qing army retreated to the mountains and resisted stubbornly. If the Ming army wanted to eliminate these remnants, they had to attack the mountain.

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "I don't know this. But if I am in Wuchang City today, if I don't wipe out all the Eastern Captains, they may go down the mountain to threaten Your Majesty's safety at any time. As ministers, you should naturally put Your Majesty's safety first."

The personal soldiers thought to themselves that His Highness King Jin was good everywhere, but he treated the emperor too much.

This is simply a matter of inviting an ancestor back.

When Cao Cao held Emperor Xian of Han hostage to order the princes. Why did His Highness the King of Jin offer sacrifices to the emperor?

Sometimes their subordinates also wanted to persuade the King of Jin to become emperor.

But every time he said it, His Highness King Jin would become more and more despised and even ordered those who persuaded him to advance.

Over time, no one dared to persuade him to enter.

His Highness King Jin really respects the Emperor as the common ruler of the world.

"I am passing on the order that all the Eastern captives in the mountains must be killed before dark!"

"Get orders!"

...

...

When the Ming army searched and attacked the mountains on a large scale, the Qing army quickly became unable to support it.

Faced with a powerful offensive, they retreated all the way and quickly retreated to the top of the mountain.

"The thief raised by bitch, really doesn't leave any room for anything. If they don't force us to death, they won't be at ease!"

"Sir General, why don't we rush down and fight with them!"

It’s all right to die. Instead of dying like this, it’s better to kill before death with great suffocation.

If you can get two Ming thieves before your death, you will not be alone on the road to the underworld.

"Kill one and earn one!"

"Kill two and earn a pair!"

"I have a big scar on my head, and I will still be a hero twenty years later!"

Instigated by a slogan, these Qing soldiers finally plucked up the courage to rush towards the mountain.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo sneered: "Kill them all!"

"Abide by the order!"

The Ming army raised their spears one after another and stabbed them at the Qing soldiers who were rushing over.

One inch long and one inch stronger, the Qing soldiers slashed wildly, but they did not hurt the Ming army at all.

At this time, the Ming army's spear had pierced the Qing army's chest.

The Qing soldiers let out painful wails.

They stared at the Ming soldiers in despair, and a resentful curse was vented in their hearts.

This is the only thing they can do now.

Facing the Ming soldiers who were armed to the teeth, their wish to pull one or two of them could not be realized.

The scene before them became darker and darker, and finally turned into pitch black.
