"yes, I see."

While nodding, Zhu Di went to bed with peace of mind. Zheng He turned off the lights and retreated to the outer room to rest.

But it was really said by Zheng He, Chai Jingnan was really guarding the window of the study at this time, and listened to the conversation between them word for word, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

It seems that the fourth uncle misses the Jing'er who likes to stick to him-

Chai Jingnan suddenly felt happy in his heart. But he also knew that the next days he was going to face would be spent in a cruel war, although he had also seen the ruthlessness of the battlefield, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, so he subconsciously hugged the sword in his arms, and said to himself,

"Fourth uncle, Jing'er will definitely protect you well."

"Okay, but you need to get some rest first."

Wu Pingwen's voice came from behind him, and it turned out that he had rushed to replace him.

Chai Jing didn't go back to the tunnel,

"I know, I don't need you to talk too much. By the way, watch it well, don't fall asleep first. ”

"I know,"

Wu Pingwen deliberately learned his tone and smiled,

"Well, you don't need a little guy to talk too much."

Early the next morning, Zhu Di gathered in the main hall, and all the civil and military officers under his command came without exception and sat down on both sides in turn. Gao Chi really followed his father's words and brought his two younger brothers to the front of the hall, Zhu Di asked him to stand beside him, while Gao Xu and Gao Sui stood beside him.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Di slapped his palms and said,

"Alright, now let's talk about how to deal with the men and horses sent by the court. But is there anything you want to tell this king before that? ”

"Your Highness,"

Zhang Yu hurriedly said,

"According to the detective report, Geng Bingwen has arrived in Zhending, and he also ordered his pioneer battalion to be stationed in three places in Hejian, Juzhou, and Xiongxian."

"Oh, it seems that the Marquis of Changxing relied on his large number of people, and he actually divided his troops."

Zhu Di said with a smile,

"Well, in that case, we might as well see what happens to his soldiers. Zhang Yu, you send more detectives, carefully observe the details of their camps, including morale, supplies, who the lord will be, and all such details, and then report them to this king to know. ”

"Why are you sending someone else to do it, the last general will personally investigate."

When Zhang Yu heard this, he immediately stood up and said.

Zhu Di was taken aback by him,

"Do you want to go by yourself?"

"Yes, only when I see it with my own eyes can I be more sure to report to Your Highness."

Zhang Yu nodded affirmatively.

Zhu Di thought for a while and said,

"It's fine, but be careful."

"The Admiral knows."

After making a salute, Zhang Yu turned around and walked out of the hall and left.

Everyone watched him leave, and just turned his head again, Zhu Di looked at everyone,

"And then? Any other news? ”

"Well, back to Your Highness,"

General Tan Yuandao,

"The last general heard the news from Guo Liang from Yongping that the court had sent an edict to let the king of Liao and the king of Ning return to the capital, and the king of Liao had returned to Beijing from the sea, but the king of Ning refused."

"Yes, then, how is King Ning now?"

Zhu Di was naturally very concerned about his seventeenth brother, and hurriedly asked.

Tan Yuan thought for a while and replied,

"I heard that the emperor has cut the 15,000 guards under him."

"Yes, the king knows."

Zhu Di sighed secretly-

Yun Wei's wariness and suspicion of these uncles have reached such a point, but this is a good thing, if he really let King Ning crusade against him, it will really be a trouble, and now the fifteenth brother has been transferred back to the capital, and the seventeenth brother has a dislike with the court because of his refusal, these are all very beneficial things for himself.

After thinking about this, the next step is to pay attention to the current battle situation.

Soon, Zhang Yu came back from hearing the news, and came to see Zhu Di that night.

As soon as they met, the relaxed look on that face was almost smug, and it was already very revealing, and sure enough, when Zhu Di asked, Zhang Yu gushed endlessly,

"Your Highness, according to the last general, there are hundreds of thousands of people sent from the south, but there is nothing to worry about."

"Yes,"

Zhu Di asked with great interest,

"Why do you think so?"

"It's because of the results that the last general just investigated,"

Zhang Yu said with great interest,

"Judging from the two places of Pan Zhong stationed in Juzhou and Yang Song of Hexiong County, at least the camps of these two people are disorderly and chaotic, and there is no trace of tension among those soldiers, and the military discipline is simply loose and vulnerable. It seems that as the chief general who leads such a general, Geng Bingwen is nothing more than that. ”

"Okay, since you have said so, this king naturally believes that I will issue an order to send troops early tomorrow morning."

Out of trust in his confidant, Zhu Di made a decisive decision.

Turning the day, when the generals gathered again in front of the hall, everyone could see from the grim expression of His Royal Highness King Yan that this day had finally arrived.

"Rank general, Zhang Yu found out the exact movement of the southern army yesterday, and this king decided to immediately raise troops to meet the battle."

"We will obey the dispatch of His Highness!"

The generals bowed together.

Zhu Di nodded and said,

"Everyone immediately return to the camp and prepare, assemble in the south of the city this evening, and go out with this king."

"Order!"

Everyone left in high gear.

Looking back at the three sons standing beside him, Zhu Di said,

"Gao Chi."

"The child is here."

Gao Chi hurriedly took a step forward.

Zhu Di looked at him, then at the other two sons, and said,

"After my father leaves Beiping, this place will be handed over to you, I will send Guo Zi to assist you, and I will leave 10,000 guards as guards, and Zhu Wuxia, let him be responsible for the security of the palace, these people are loyal and righteous people, Gao Chi, you can rely on them."

"The child knows,"

As a prince, Zhu Gaochi is very aware of the responsibilities he should bear on his shoulders.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had been silent beside him at this time, said,

"Father, the child will go with you."

"This ......"

Zhu Di saw that the second son in front of him made such a request because he saw that he didn't have any chance to show it, so he said,

"Yes, yes, but, not this time, you can help your eldest brother to stick to Beiping for the time being, and the next time you go on an expedition as a father, I will give you a chance."

"When is the next expedition?"

Gao Xu asked with a rather dissatisfied look.

Seeing that he was so anxious to show his talents, Zhu Di secretly said in his heart, it would be better to hold back his temperament more, so he said,

"When the time comes, my father will naturally tell you, now what you have to do is to lead the guards and assist the prince to defend our city and our home, and wait for my father and I to come back from this army, and then see your performance, you know?"

"Got it."

Gao Xu pouted and retreated.

Just returned to the study, I saw Chai Jingnan sitting there with a long sword and waiting, and when he saw him come back, he jumped up and said loudly,

"Fourth uncle, I heard that you are going to send troops to fight, right?!"

"Yes, do you want Jing'er to go with you?"

Zhu Di looked at him and asked with a deliberate smile.
