Looking at the calm Lushun South City, Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly in his heart.

Hearing Shen Shouyao's explanation, Zhu Youzhen understood the reason why he could easily come to Lushun.

In addition to Shen Shouchong's intention not to disobey him too much, it is also a very important factor to think that there is such a safe place in Lushun.

Glancing at Chu Yunfei and Gao Qiqian who were following behind him, Zhu Youzhen thought to himself: "If it weren't for the existence of Lushun South City, let alone the civil and military forces of Guanglu Island, I'm afraid that the two behind him would never let him come here." ”

Stepping on the dock, a Ming army general bowed deeply with his hands in fists, and said loudly: "Gao Chengyou, the lowly Lushun Dusi, greets His Highness." ”

As if he was afraid that Zhu Youzhen would be displeased, Gao Chengyou immediately explained: "General Zhang Pan is defending against the Tartars in Tuchengzi, and he can't come to greet His Highness in person, so I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”

"Are the Tartars attacking the Earthen City?" Zhu Youzhen asked casually.

"Back to Your Highness, the Tartars are still testing the weaknesses of our army's defenses and have not yet launched a large-scale attack." Gao Chengyou replied respectfully.

"Then the road to Tucheng should still be smooth?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed with excitement.

In addition to wanting to see Zhang Panqi, the most important thing for Zhu Youzhen to come to Lushun was to see the real ancient war with his own eyes.

In Zhu Youzhen's mind, Lushun has withstood the attack of Houjin for several years under the command of Zhang Pan, and it should not be a big problem to come this time.

In addition, Lushun is near the sea, and Houjin does not have a naval army. Even if Lushun's Ming army couldn't stand it in the end, then Zhu Youzhen would leave by water at most, at least his personal safety would be absolutely guaranteed.

This is the real idea of Zhu Youzhen when he came to Lushun.

"Back to Your Highness, the road between Tuchengzi and my southern city is still smooth. His Royal Highness will rest first, and General Zhang Pan will be able to rush back soon. ”

Gao Chengyou replied respectfully, but he sighed secretly in his heart: "Alas, it seems that we must send someone to invite the Lord back."

Oh, what the is this.

This is a war, run a prince to hang out, isn't this a clean mess? ”

Slandering in his heart, Gao Chengyou lowered his head again. He was afraid that his face would bring out anger, and it would not be good to cause trouble for the general.

"The road is clear? That's great. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked around at the people around him: "Then let's go to Tucheng to have a look?" ”

"What?"

Gao Chengyou raised his head in shock, and for the first time looked at the young King Xin.

"Nope."

Chu Tianxing and Gao Qiqian shouted in unison.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to stop Chu Tianxing and Gao Qiqian from going to export and admonish.

"Lone knows what you want to say, it's nothing more than a fierce battle, and Lone will be in danger. But in the face of the Tartars, there was no danger in our army that day?

They can hold on to Tucheng, but they can't go and see it?

You don't need to persuade you, I believe that the soldiers of Tucheng will never let Gu down. ”

was blocked by Zhu Youzhen's righteous words, Chu Tianxing and Gao Qiqian were suddenly speechless.

In front of the surrounding soldiers, they can't clearly say that Zhu Youzhen's life is expensive, and the soldier's life can't be compared with Zhu Youzhen, right?

Shen Shouyao stood aside and did not speak, but there was an excited expression on his face.

King Shin really has such an appetite for him, and it is really his luck to be able to serve King Shin.

Hearing what Zhu Youzhen said, Gao Chengyou was excited.

His Royal Highness King Xin actually compared himself with the soldiers of Tucheng, how can this be comparable. Even if King Shin loses a single hair on his body, I'm afraid it's worth more than the life of a big-headed soldier, right?

However, it is really uplifting to hear a prince speak like this with his own ears.

The first time he heard such an exciting comparison, Gao Chengyou was excited for a while, and he didn't know whether to dissuade or agree.

Without waiting for Gao Chengyou to clear his thoughts, Zhu Youzhen's resolute voice came: "It's decided." Gao Dusi, Tucheng is going in that direction, how should we get there? ”

Tuchengzi

"Nonsense."

After receiving the news from Kuaima, Zhang Pan couldn't help but shout angrily.

Don't look at Tuchengzi, who has only been harassed by a small force of Zhenglan Banner every day recently, but Zhenglanqi may launch a real attack at any time.

In this situation, how dare Zhang Pan leave Tuchengzi.

But he didn't go back, and the delicate and expensive vassal king actually wanted to come to Tuchengzi.

When did this Ming vassal king have such courage?

In the midst of the angry drinking, Zhang Pan couldn't help but feel a little curious about Zhu Youzhen in his heart.

In the midst of the shouting and neighing, Zhu Youzhen and his entourage entered Tuchengzi safely.

It wasn't until he entered the city that Zhu Youzhen's heart calmed down a little.

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that just a short journey of more than 10 miles from Nancheng to Tuchengzi allowed him to see the battle of the cavalry.

They had only left Nancheng for 3 or 4 miles when they encountered a Tartar reconnaissance team of 7 or 8 people.

The Tartar Rider is really arrogant.

In the face of Zhu Youzhen's team of nearly 100 people, the Tartar detectives dared to take the initiative to attack them.

After a brief contact between the two sides, the Tartar detective fled with injuries, and Zhu Youzhen injured one and died.

In the face of Zhu Youzhen, who was far more numerous than himself, the Tartar Tancai took the initiative to attack without hesitation, and the determination when the Tartar launched the attack deeply shocked Zhu Youzhen.

With such a huge disparity in numbers, how could the Tartar Detectives dare to attack?

Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps it was the same thought, Zhu Youzhen's guards and the junior team were not ready for battle at all. The Tartar scouts rushed close and did not react.

Zhu Youzhen dared to guarantee that if it weren't for the cavalry sent by Gao Chengyou to come forward, they might have suffered even greater losses.

The Tartar detective rider who left with one blow made Zhu Youzhen's heart still unable to calm down until he entered the city.

Thinking that after the battle, the Tartar detectives didn't even leave a single corpse, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.

Yes, Zhu Youzhen's rapid heartbeat was not because he was afraid, but because he was angry.

His guards and the highly-anticipated junior team were too amateurish.

"You're just a plate?"

Looking at the generals who came to greet him, Zhu Youzhen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at it carefully.

The age of the person who came was about 3 or 40 years old, and he was very burly, with the physique of a typical northern man. The face is white and bearded, and not only can there be no evil spirit between the eyebrows and eyes, but there is a bit of kindness.

If he hadn't been wearing a general's armor, he would have looked more like the uncle next door.

"The lowly position is Zhang Pan. Your Highness, this is not the place for you. It's so ...... here."

Seeing the dead and wounded in the team and the anger on Zhu Youzhen's brows, Zhang Pan's face turned a little paler.

"Afraid of what? Doesn't the general have confidence in his own city defense?

Lone's confidence in the general is very strong! ”

Without waiting for Zhang Pan to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen interrupted his dissuasion with a smile.

"This, thank you for your praise, I dare not take my humble position."

was praised by Zhu Youzhen so explicitly, and Zhang Pan's face was slightly flushed.

However, from Zhu Youzhen's words, he heard that Zhu Youzhen had no resentment, and Zhang Pan's heart was much more stable.

Zhang Pan was most afraid of the attack on the road, which frightened His Royal Highness the wayward King Xin.

You must know that although the king of faith came on his own, if he really scared the king of letters, then the entire Fort Arthur would be unlucky.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's fearless young face, Zhang Pan suddenly felt: It may not be a bad thing to let His Royal Highness the bold King of Faith experience the real war environment.
