This time, his father actually said in public that he was not even half as good as the enemy, which made his face dull, his heart unhappy, and he couldn't help but put on a straight face.

Anke Timur, the younger brother of King Hami next to Timur and the uncle of Timur and Dilinazha, couldn't help but smile and nod when he saw this expression.

The military situation was urgent, Di Linaza didn't care about the small emotions in her brother's heart, and said to King Hami: "Everyone will think that Zhu Ao must be the main force of the Ming army all the way, and Zhu Ao is definitely not so stupid, deliberately exposing the main force to us." Therefore, his main force must be all the way north. And the Southern Army led by himself was the partial division that lured us. As long as Zhu Ao is caught, won't all the materials of the Su Kingdom be left to us to take? The old immortal of the King of Shazhou still thinks that he has taken a big advantage, but in fact he is the fool who gnaws the hard bones of the Ming army. ”

Nahuri, the king of Hami, agreed with his daughter's point of view very much, smiled and nodded, but then there was a puzzled expression on his face, and said, "But why did he do this? It's too dangerous to use himself as bait, can he, a prince, take such a big risk? Even if Jiuquan and Zhangye are lost, he can still retreat to the mainland, the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to his Laozi, and he is a vassal king wherever he goes. ”

A smug smile hung on Di Linazha's stunning face, as if she had seen through everything about Zhu Ao, held her head high, and said very confidently: "Yes, if it is an ordinary prince, it will be like what his father said, but this Zhu Ao is not an ordinary prince, he is a hero." The so-called heroes are to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, regardless of the cost. He did it. ”

King Hami nodded slightly, agreeing with his daughter's point of view very much in his heart, and suddenly, his face was full of a trace of solemnity and perseverance, and he said fiercely: "Then let's go and meet this hero!" ”

Not long ago, Zhu Ao proposed to Qu Neng that he himself lead 10,000 people as bait to lure the main force of the Western Domain to attack, and Qu Neng led the main force to quickly relieve the siege of Jiuquan, and then come to meet his plan, which was resolutely opposed by Qu Neng.

Qu Neng thinks that he is a general, how can he let the prince be the bait, and he will do it. But Zhu Ao resolutely disagreed with his point of view, and said: "Everyone will guess that this king is the main force all the way, and this king is going to do the opposite and take the opponent by surprise." If you lead a partial division, then our army will not be able to gain the effect of attacking it unprepared. ”

In the end, Zhu Ao used military orders to subdue Qu Neng and make him agree to his strategy. However, what Zhu Ao never expected was that a pair of bright eyes in the enemy army had already seen through his conspiracy.

Zhu Ao led 10,000 people to set up a decisive battle formation, fanfare the banner, raise more dust, and swaggered from the south road to Jiuquan.

At this time, a scout of the Ming army came to report to him: "Report to Your Highness, the main force of the enemy army has been found in the front, numbering tens of thousands, and it is only more than 20 miles away. ”

Come so fast, Zhu Ao said secretly in his heart. This is the first time he has been on the battlefield, and he has to fight against tens of thousands of enemy forces with a partial division of 10,000 people, it is false to say that he is not afraid, but in addition to being afraid and nervous, he also has a trace of excitement.

Zhu Ao looked around at the surrounding terrain, there happened to be a small hill not far away, God really helped me, and immediately ordered: "The whole army stops advancing, immediately occupy that small hill, and form a defense!" ”

The Ming army in the Hongwu period was still very efficient, and after hearing Zhu Hao's order, they immediately took action, quickly occupied the small hillside not far away, pushed the chariots and shields outside, formed fortifications, and prepared to meet the main force of the enemy.

The 10,000 people led by Zhu Ao are his three guards on the left, the center and the right, each guard has 3,000 people, although the number is not as many as one guard in the guard, but they are all carefully selected elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. In addition, there are two of his executioners, although the commanders of these two executioners are also thousands, but the military establishment of the palace is compressed, in fact, they only have 750 people in charge of one executioner.

Therefore, the total strength of Zhu Ao is 10,500 people, these people are his henchmen, who followed Zhu Ao from Nanjing to guard the northwest, and they are the most loyal to Zhu Ao, and they are also the most willing to fight to the death, because of this, Zhu Ao decided to take them to meet the enemy.

Zhu Ao stood on the top of the mountain, looked far away, saw the billowing smoke and dust in the west, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, finally coming, this is the first step of this king's hegemony.

Zhu Ao still remembered that when he was discussing this issue with Queen Sun Yunqi last night, Zhu Ao touched Sun Yunqi's hair and sighed softly, and said with a melancholy face: "The territory of all countries in the world is more than ten thousand miles, and this king only has the territory of four counties, how difficult it is to achieve his hegemony, and I don't know when it will take?" ”

Sun Yunqi lay on Zhu Ao's chest, and the faint body fragrance went straight to Zhu Ao's heart, and while touching his skin with his hand, he said gently and firmly: "Why should Your Highness worry about this? King Wen only has a hundred miles of land, and he has not achieved great things? Liu Bang is just a pavilion chief, the land is only ten miles, once the fortune will be held, he is not the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty? Temujin didn't start with a lot of territory, but how many rivers did he build? The father and the emperor did not have a place to stand, but after fifteen years of becoming emperors, they are all role models for the prince, and the concubines believe that the prince will be able to do it. ”

"When heroes are inherently low, the prince is now a hidden dragon, although it is still inconspicuous, but once the wind and clouds meet, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky!"

"Good! Good! Zhu Ao was very happy, his beloved wife's words were boiling with his blood, and he couldn't help hugging Sun Yunqi a little tighter, and said: "When a good hero is inherently low, then where should we start?" ”

"It starts with the courage of His Highness."

Well said, concubine! It starts with the courage of this king!

Zhu Ao pulled out his heavy sword, pointed at the rushing enemy army, and shouted: "Today is the first battle of my Su army, you are all my escort army, this battle must give this king a brilliant battle!" Give this king a long face! Don't let people think that you are only embroidered pillows that only put on a guard of honor and walk in a queue! ”

It is better to persuade than to provoke! The three guards under Zhu Ao and the two sergeants of the enclosure were so excited by him that they all seemed to go crazy, raising the weapons in their hands and shouting: "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief! ”

"Win glory for the prince! We can't let those guards be compared! ”

Zhu Ao was very happy to see that the morale was available, and at the same time, he was infected by the boiling blood of the soldiers, and took advantage of the situation to encourage: "Soldiers, kill hard!" Laughing and thirsty for the blood of the Huns, today in this Jiuquan, let the swords in your hands drink the blood of the enemy to your heart's content! Remember, there is only one shame for you, and that is that your weapon was clean when you fell! ”
