Soon Zhao Xu came to the front of the Chu King's Mansion with the chamberlain.

Today's Chu Wangfu can be described as extremely dilapidated, the walls of the palace have been demolished, and the front of the main hall is overgrown with weeds.

Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable when he saw it.

Rao is like this, and through the scale of these buildings, you can also get a glimpse of the prosperity of the Chu Wangfu back then.

The Ming Dynasty was once extremely prosperous, and the Chu Wangfu alone was magnificent.

Not to mention the Forbidden City.

Although Zhao Xu has never seen the Forbidden City, he can imagine the grandeur of the Forbidden City, it is really a polar place in the world.

"General Zhao? General Zhao! ”

Zhao Xu was thinking about himself, but was woken up by the waiter.

"Ahh

He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Let the envoy smile." ”

"General Zhao, Your Majesty has announced your visit."

"Thank you."

Zhao Xu Chongzhong arched his hand, and then strode towards the main hall.

The main hall of the Chu Palace's mansion had been preliminarily cleaned, and Zhao Xu walked into the hall and bypassed the screen and came to a warm pavilion.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was sitting on the couch drinking tea, Zhao Xu took a few steps forward and arched his hand: "Minister Zhao Xu see Your Majesty." ”

Although he had seen the Son of Heaven, he still felt very nervous, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

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

Zhu Youlang nodded appreciatively and said, "You are the first person to climb the head of Wuchang City, and you have given the Tiger Ben Army a long face, and also a long face for me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!"

Zhao Xu's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Don't be so restrained, it's just me and you here, sit down."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears.

Your Majesty is this going to give him a seat?

Zhao Xu never thought that he would be able to sit down in front of the Son of Heaven.

It's a great honor.

"If I'm not mistaken, your current official position is a guerrilla general, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I promoted you to lieutenant general this time in recognition of your contribution to the attack on Wuchang."

Zhao Xu hurriedly got up and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

His heart could be described as ecstasy.

What is the position of the adjutant general? That's the second-in-command after the general soldier.

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

Who knew that he slowly rose to the rank of guerrilla general.

If today's son appoints him as a deputy general, he can be said to have officially stepped into the ranks of high-level generals.

This is really a carp crossing the dragon gate.

"The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

"Hurry up, I don't want to see my courtiers kneeling all the time."

Zhu Youlang kindly helped Zhao Xu up, and said in a harmonious voice: "You were picked up by me, I really want to see you achieve something, so that there is light on my face." ”

After a pause, Zhu Youlang continued: "I have always been eclectic in promoting talents. As long as I think I am capable, I will be promoted regardless of my background. You have to do a good job, I am optimistic about you! ”

Zhu Youlang said a bunch of encouraging words, and then asked Zhao Xu to retreat.

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

The newcomer has no background, just a blank slate.

Zhu Youlang is their backer, and their future is tied to Zhu Youlang alone.

If they want to rise in their careers, they need to rely on Zhu Youlang.

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

As an emperor, how can he not have his own team?

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

It's not that Zhu Youlang doesn't trust Li Dingguo.

There is no doubt that Li Dingguo is loyal and should not betray Zhu Youlang.

But Zhu Youlang still needs to have a lineage, so that he can speak hard, so as not to make the little man have superfluous ideas.

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

The longer he has been the emperor, the more Zhu Youlang feels that as the Son of Heaven, he has a huge responsibility to carry the sun and the moon on his shoulders.

He really can't make a wrong step, Da Ming really can't stand any toss.

...

...

"His Royal Highness King Jin, are we really going to attack the mountain at this time?"

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the soldier asked with some concern.

Attacking the mountain at night is not a wise choice, and the eastern captives can take advantage of the dimness of the light to ambush them.

In addition, the Ming army did not know much about the topography of Snake Mountain, so it was easy to be overshadowed.

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

But Wuchang is very special.

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

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "I don't know this truth. But if the son is in Wuchang City today, if they don't annihilate all the Dongyu, they may go down the mountain at any time and threaten His Majesty's safety. As a minister, he should naturally put His Majesty's safety first. ”

The pro-soldier said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is good anywhere, but he treats the Son of Heaven with too much respect.

This is simply inviting back an ancestor.

Back then, Cao Cao held Emperor Xian of Han hostage in order to order the princes. What is the purpose of His Royal Highness the King of Jin to support the Son of Heaven?

Sometimes their subordinates also wanted to persuade the king of Jin to establish himself as emperor.

But every time he spoke, His Royal Highness the King of Jin would change color, and even ordered to beat the persuaders.

Over time, no one dared to persuade them.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin really respects the Son of Heaven as the co-lord of the world.

"The king of this book has decreed that all the captives in the mountains must be killed before dark!"

"Order!"

...

...

In the case of the Ming army's large-scale search and attack on the mountains, the Qing army soon became overwhelmed.

In the face of a strong onslaught, they retreated all the way and soon retreated to the top of the mountain.

"The thief raised by the son of a bitch, there is really no room for anything. If they don't force us to death, they won't feel at ease, right? ”

"Lord Commander, why don't we rush down and fight with them!"

Horizontal and vertical are death, rather than suffocating to death like this, it is better to kill before death.

If you can pull two thieves before you die, you will not be alone on Huangquan Road.

"Kill one and earn one!"

"Kill two and get a pair!"

"I have a big scar on my head, and I am still a good man after twenty years!"

Egged on by a burst of slogans, these Qing soldiers finally mustered up the courage to rush down the mountain.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo sneered and said, "Kill them all!" ”

"Yes!"

The Ming army raised their spears one after another and stabbed the Qing soldiers who rushed over.

One inch long and one inch strong, those Qing soldiers opened their teeth and claws and slashed wildly, but they couldn't hurt the Ming army in the slightest.

At this time, the spear of the Ming army had pierced the chest of the Qing soldiers.

The soldiers let out a cry of pain.

They glared at the Ming soldiers in despair, and cursed with resentment in their hearts.

That's the only thing they can do right now.

In the face of the Ming soldiers armed to the teeth, their wish to pull one or two cushions on their backs could not be realized.

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