After all the envoys returned, Zhang Wuji summoned everyone in the imperial study to hold a pre-imperial battle meeting.

The courtiers who participated in the meeting included Liu Futong, Yang Xiao, Zhang Dingbian, Zhao Pusheng, and Wei Yixiao.

As for Liu Bowen, his current rank is still too low, and he is not qualified to participate in such a high-level imperial battle meeting.

Also accompanying the meeting were Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and Su Mengqing.

There are no outsiders here at the moment, and the three of them don't have to cover their faces.

Zhang Wuji looked at Wei Yixiao, who was eager to try, and then said, "If you have anything to say, Wei Bat King will say it first." ”

Wei Yixiao stood up and said, "Zhang Shicheng's guy is really going to rebel." He sent a large army to rob and kill us, but fortunately the sect leader had been prepared, otherwise our group would have been wiped out. ”

Su Mengqing said: "This is also expected. ”

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhou Zhiruo and asked, "What about Zhiruo, over there?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo replied: "Zhu Yuanzhang didn't turn against us, after all, many of his subordinates are the old department of Mingjiao. During my time in Jinling, he always avoided me, and then asked Princess Ma to deal with me with a few children. However, I also noticed that the entire Jinling City has also begun to be prepared. Moreover, the generals of the Ming sect in the past, such as Brother Chang and others, were all transferred out of Jinling, and I also left Jinling City because of his transfer. ”

Zhao Min asked, "Transfer?" Where did the transfer go? ”

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head at this time and said, "This is not very clear. Brother Chang is still very wary of me. ”

Zhang Wuji said: "It doesn't matter where you transfer. Besides, Brother Chang was transferred, and our brothers in the province met each other. That's fine. ”

Zhang Wuji raised his eyes and looked at Yang Xiao and asked, "Yang Zuo, how are the envoys of the other two roads?" ”

Yang Xiao replied: "Chen You must want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. He wanted to be a loyal minister of Meng Yuan, but he also didn't want to break the Zhao'an covenant he had made with the emperor before. Therefore, he frankly sat back and watched the success or failure. But even if we are defeated, he will not be our enemy. As for Fang Guozhen"

Su Mengqing added at this time: "This guy is just a wall grass, and he asks for officials and salaries from Meng Yuan's side. On the other hand, they came to perfunctory us. My spies have found out that he has connections with the Mongols, and we have gathered all the evidence of his collusion with the Mongols, and then we can eradicate this snob at any time as long as we make it public. ”

Zhang Wuji let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "Fortunately, although the current situation is a little unfavorable for us, everything is still expected. At least we have a starting point to conquer these rebels. ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Yang Zuo, you drafted a document in the name of Zhongshu Province to fight against Zhang Shicheng and beat Zhang Shicheng into a thief. Write down his sins of robbing and killing the messengers of the Celestial Empire. After that, it was announced to the world, and Zhang Dingbian first lost the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Yang Xiao stood up and said, "Obey the emperor's orders." ”

Zhang Wuji nodded, and then said: "As for the other princes of the Three Roads, since they have no clear opposition to us, we don't have to make a big deal for the time being. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, although he was strong, he had always been attached to Mingjiao before, and he did not dare to rebel blatantly. We don't have to pay too much attention to him. Our eyes can directly look at the 'Dragon Gate Array' placed by King Ruyang on the front line of the Huai River. ”

Zhao Min shook his head at this time and said, "This is not the Dragon Gate Array, but the 'Heavenly Gate Array'!" ”

"Huh? Tianmen Array? Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min with a puzzled face.

Zhang Wuji had heard of the Tianmen Formation, but it was the formation in the Yang family.

And the Yang family will be more inclined to stories of gods and monsters rather than martial arts stories. He didn't expect that in the division world of this timeline, there would be a "Tianmen Array"!

Then there is no Mu Guiying by his side.

Zhao Min looked at Liu Futong at this time, Liu Futong stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, what the imperial concubine said is true. According to our spies, the formation that King Ruyang and Zhang Shicheng's troops jointly solved along the Huai River seems to be the 'Tianmen Array' used by the Xiao brothers, the former commanders of the Liao State. This array is spread along the river in the direction of the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

After hearing Liu Futong's explanation, Zhang Wuji understood. The Tianmen Array here is not as mysterious as in the romance, it is just a village along the river, a kind of military formation with both offense and defense.

However, Zhang Wuji was not afraid, he said: "No matter what formation he puts up, it's just a mantis arm as a car." Now the morale of the Mongol army is low, and according to the information provided by Lord Liu and Lord Lü, the treasury of the Yuan court is almost exhausted. And there are remnants of the old Polo Timur army, and the king of Ruyang has not yet recovered all of them. These people are like a man's back, and although the Mongol army is numerous, it is just a rabble. ”

Zhang Wuji said confidently: "This time, we don't count the Guanzhong army on the Western Front under General Li, just because we have a total of 800,000 troops and horses under our command now. Although the other army is numerous, it will definitely be inferior to us, and the other side has no money and food supply, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. So this battle is bound to be 'the advantage is mine'! ”

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min on the side and asked, "Then how about we proceed according to the original plan?" ”

Zhao Min thought for a moment, and then looked at Su Mengqing's reaction. After Su Mengqing nodded, Zhao Min said, "Okay! That's it! ”

At this time, Zhang Dingbian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has objections. ”

Zhang Wuji asked, "I don't know what else Aiqing has to say?" ”

Zhang Dingbian walked to the hall, then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, the body of ten thousand gold. If you have to do it, you can't drive it in person. The western front was commanded by Marquis Li and Lord Taiwei. And the middle route army has Guo Dashuai personally leading the troops in command, and these ministers have no objections. It's just that this is all the way to the decisive battle with the Yuan army. The minister is willing to recommend himself and share the worries of the monarch's father. ”

After that, Zhang Dingbian gave Zhang Wuji a buckle.

After listening to Zhang Dingbian's words, Yang Xiao's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he called this guy dead.

It's nothing to voluntarily ask for battle, but it's not a trivial matter to lead the troops in command. Zhang Dingbian's move was suspected of competing with the emperor for military power.

If it is replaced by another emperor, he will suspect that Zhang Dingbian has antipathy.

But Zhang Dingbian didn't mean this. He's a straightforward guy. Since he has taken refuge in Zhang Wuji, he is naturally loyal.

He took the initiative to ask for help this time, just because he felt that his chair was a little "pricked".

Because Zhang Wuji's court was mostly the old system of the former Song Dynasty.

The privy envoy is the largest official rank among the generals.

But although Zhang Dingbian has done his best, he is very uneasy in his heart.

Whether it was Li Siqi later, or Liu Futong, who had been following Zhang Wuji to fight the world, these people's positions were lower than Zhang Dingbian.

Especially Liu Futong, who is the first righteous in the world and the veteran of the righteous army, is a privy deputy envoy. Although he is higher than Zhang Dingbian in terms of knighthood. But in terms of official rank and power, it is inferior to Zhang Dingbian.

At present, everyone is entrusted with important tasks, and it is also Chen Han's general, Zhao Pusheng has the credit of commanding the naval army to destroy Ming Xia. Even Fu Youde and Ding Pulang have the merits of Pingnan, but at the moment, he is the only one who has not yet established an inch of merit, but he is in a high position. This made him a little bit of a man.
