After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the camp, he was not in a hurry to rest, but secretly summoned Chang Yuchun into the account as soon as possible, and it seemed that he had urgent military affairs to discuss......

"Marshal, it's good that you come back safe and sound...... I heard that you were ambushed by the enemy army while hunting in the mountain road, and we were all worried about death...... "Chang Yuchun also just learned about Zhu Yuanzhang's hunting ambush, and he was also the first to care about it when he entered the account tonight.

"There is no need to worry about these little things, if I am really harmed by those rats, I am not Zhu Yuanzhang-" Zhu Yuanzhang first said something to himself, and then returned to the main topic, "Seriously, I recruited General Chang to come over so late, I have a military ...... to ask"

Chang Yuchun couldn't help asking: "What kind of military?" The Northern Expedition plan was logical, and Chang Yuchun didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map on the table that had not been put away, and only asked, "Where are General Xu Da's troops now?"

Chang Yuchun arched his hand and said: "Back to Marshal, the spies in front have reported that General Xu Da has led his troops to Jinan City, and it is estimated that he will launch an attack on Jinan City tomorrow morning......"

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and paused, and couldn't help but think of the conversation with Xiao Tian in the back camp just now......

(in recall)......

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have other intentions, and continued to ask about the Jinan strategy: "I heard General Chang say that there are also cronies and generals in the vanguard army who participated in the crusade against Jinan with General Xu Da, I don't know who this will be?"

Xiao Tian thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's Qin Yu, the general of Yizhou before...... However, it is said that he is a general, but this person is a rare general, and he is a veritable loyal person. If it weren't for the destruction of the Qin family by the Wang family and his son, General Qin Yu would not have turned against him. Maybe it's still a tough opponent for us......"

"Listening to General Xiao, what you said, this Qin Yu seems to be very powerful?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.

"Yes. Quite a day, the 'Four Tigers' cavalry of our army surrounded him, but they couldn't catch him......" Speaking of Qin Yu. Xiao Tian was a little excited......

(In reality)......

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes, held his breath and asked: "In the order to divide the army, I remember the Jinan Raiders, and the pioneer battalion also has generals to accompany me...... Listen to General Xiao, this person is Qin Yu?"

"Yes, Marshal—" Chang Yuchun replied in response.

"All the generals of the vanguard army are all under your General Chang, does General Chang know who this Qin Yu is, and what kind of generals are his generals?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked a little knowingly.

Chang Yuchun paused and thought for a while. Then he said: "Marshal, speaking of the generals of the vanguard battalion, because they are often deployed to act alone, the last generals rarely come with them in person...... However, speaking of General Qin Yu Qin, the last general heard that he has 'amazing heavenly power', and his arms can shake a hundred-year-old giant tree - he was born in the Qin family and is a descendant of Qin Shouyue, the 'divine general' of the Mengyuan Emperor. General Qin inherited the use of his ancestors, it is said that Yizhou rode alone in the first battle to block the 'Pioneer Four Tigers', and after returning to our army, he killed the enemy's main general Luo Mu in the siege battle. The crusade against Yizhou should be the first credit!"

"In this way, this Qin Yu seems to have a lot ......of talent," Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.

"I don't know what the marshal means?" Chang Yuchun asked casually.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not immediately answer Chang Yuchun's words, but stood up straight and thought secretly: "In the vanguard army." All the soldiers' abilities have been figured out, and this 'Divine General' Qin Yu is left...... The vanguard army has countless elite soldiers and fierce generals, and wants to achieve hegemony. They are indispensable, but we must also be on guard against them at all times...... Qin Yu. Okay, the last unknown figure. Let Ben Shuai see how much ability you have......" It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang has been paying attention to Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, Xiao Tian and others before, and it seems that he is calculating something.

"General Chang—" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked for instructions.

"What's the matter, Marshal?" Chang Yuchun asked with a raised hand.

"Pass on my order, Ben Shuai is now handwriting a letter, ordering the men and horses in the camp to be delivered to General Xu Da at night-" Zhu Yuanzhang commanded.

"Yes, the last general will send someone to deliver the letter on time—" Chang Yuchun also replied in the affirmative......

All the soldiers in Han Zheng's camp were resting at night, and at the same time, far away from the Changyu Chunyuan camp, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing had not slept for a long time......

Because Chang Yuchun went to Han Zheng's military camp with Zhu Yuanzhang, the soldiers at Chang Yuchun's camp also had no military affairs. In addition, there is no possibility of an enemy sneak attack here, and it is very safe, so the garrison in the army is also very casual, the main general is not there, and the soldiers in the battalion often talk and play games in twos and threes......

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyeliner arranged to "monitor" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing still did not relax, and he kept an eye on the movements of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing all the time. But I also know that with Lu Jing's scheming, I guessed something strange at once, so Lu Jing didn't care about Tang Zhan at all these days, at most, he understood the war ahead, and didn't even care about training and patrolling; not only that, in order to vent his grievances that had been held back for so many days, Lu Jing often lost his temper with the soldiers who "supervised" his eyeliner, and made those soldiers complain and sigh, which made these people complain so much that they didn't want to get close to Lu Jing anymore......

The main general is not there, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are naturally laughing constantly, not to mention that Lu Jing expected that Zhu Yuanzhang was intending to monitor his military operations, and he was "playing" in the army like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was more at ease......

"Hahahaha-" Sure enough, from time to time, Lu Jing's laughter came from Tang Zhan's tent, and sometimes Tang Zhan's jokes were also mixed in.

"Hey, Jing'er, what are you doing?" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were alone in the camp, Lu Jing didn't know where her preference came from, and unknowingly used burnt charcoal to "weave flowers" on Tang Zhan's head, which looked very funny, and Tang Zhan was a little "annoyed".

"Haha, stupid, you're so funny like this-" Lu Jing's whole body was about to fall to the ground, looking at Tang Zhan's "stupid appearance", she couldn't stop laughing, and tears were about to flow out.

"What are you doing on my head, it's ...... black" Tang Zhan scratched his head vigorously, and pulled down a few burnt charcoal from above, his forehead was blackened a little, and there was still unburned green smoke on the charcoal.

"What a fool, I'll make you a new hairpin to look good, right?" Lu Jing returned to the innocent and lively demeanor of Bianliang, and fell into the city. Shui Ling's eyes were almost slitted with laughter.

Tang Zhan knew that Lu Jing was joking with himself, so he also "came to the heart" and said, "Jing'er." You've always been fine with bullying me, and I'm going to teach you a good lesson today—" he said. Tang Zhan picked up the charcoal and also threw it on Lu Jing's head.

"Ah, help-" Lu Jing naturally shouted with a smile, and jumped aside.

"Don't run-" Tang Zhan also chased after him, and continued to frolic with Lu Jing in the camp......

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were having fun inside, but they were not "at ease" outside the camp - the eyeliner arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang was always paying attention to Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's movements, but tonight outside the camp listened to the frolicking inside. The crowd seemed disappointed......

"This Lu Jing, as a military division and captain, does not talk about military affairs, and frolicks in the camp with General Tang all day long, what kind of ...... is he like" The soldiers who "monitored" listened to the "laughter" in the camp, and couldn't help complaining, "The marshal is really, why do you let us beware of this kind of person, it's too much to think about......"

"Yes. What do you say that the vanguard army can conquer Xuzhou and Yizhou, and this kind of person can succeed in commanding the army? I think it's luck......" The other soldier said impatiently, "Let's go, I don't want to waste my time on this every day." Affected by the temper of that Miss Lu Jing. With this idle time, while General Chang is not there, the brothers might as well go and have a few fun by themselves......"

"It's just ......" so. The soldiers who had been watching at night all wanted to turn around and leave.

At this time. Outside the camp, another man walked slowly, carrying a brazier. Prepare to walk to the Tang war camp. This person is Lao Jiu, in the eyes of outsiders, Lao Jiu looks old, carrying a brazier into the camp, it is estimated that he is just going to give Tang Zhan Lu Jing a warm enjoyment.

"What is an old man looking at? Let's go......" The soldier seemed to be angry, and waved his hand casually, so the soldiers who were watching outside the camp tonight dispersed one after another.

Lao Jiu didn't say anything, he stood with the brazier for a while, and made sure that all the soldiers outside the camp had dispersed, and then he continued to walk towards the Tang Zhan camp......

"Ah, my face is black like this...... It's all your fault, stupid-" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were still frolicking in the camp, just now Tang Zhan grabbed Lu Jing, and the charcoal directly "smeared" Lu Jing's face. Lu Jing looked at the water in the basin, her face was black on one side and white on the other, like a "female clown", and she immediately blamed Tang Zhan again.

"Okay, if you've made enough trouble, let's wash your face first......" Tang Zhan said with a pretended to be "triumphant".

"Hmph, no matter how stupid you are, you're really getting more and more presumptuous-" Lu Jing continued to say angrily.

"Who told you to want to play with me every time?" Brother Zichuan is right, I am Jing'er, your biggest nemesis, if you don't treat you well, you are really lawless...... "Tang Zhan also joked.

"Cut, you also believe the words of that big fool......" Speaking of Zhao Zichuan, Lu Jing said disdainfully.

After joking for a while, Tang Zhan looked at Lu Jing's "black" face, his expression turned warm, and then he was full of memories: "Black face is black face, there's nothing wrong with it...... Jing'er, do you remember? The first time you cooked for me in Lu Mansion, you couldn't make the stove, and your face was as black as a briquette—Linglong laughed at you at the time, now think about it...... Hahahaha......" As he spoke, Tang Zhan couldn't help laughing.

"No...... Don't laugh ......" Lu Jing remembered the original "ugly thing", deliberately made her lose her temper, and splashed water on Tang Zhan's body.

"Ahem......" was laughing, but Lao Jiu's coughing sound came from the door of the tent.

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing came back to their senses and turned their heads to look at Lao Jiu who was holding the brazier. As a result, Lu Jing turned her head, and her "black face" almost scared Lao Jiu, and the brazier in Lao Jiu's hand almost fell off.

When Lao Jiu saw it, he probably knew what the two of them were doing in the camp tent, so he put down the brazier and said embarrassedly: "You two ...... You've been having a blast these days, haven't you?"

Lu Jing washed her face and said with a smile: "Who told those soldiers outside the tent to try to supervise me and the fool every day? Since you want to supervise like this, then I and the fool will have a good time, starve them to death, and let them watch the door for me and the fool, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" It seems that Lu Jing knows very well in her heart, and she frolicks with the fool every day, in addition to relaxing the hard work she has been working for so long, she is also a good "lesson" to the "thief eyebrows" outside the tent that she can't stand it......

"By the way, those guys outside the door are gone, right?" Lu Jing washed her face and continued to ask.

"Thanks to your Miss Lu, don't you have to be angry with you?" Lao Jiu first teased, and then said seriously, "Seriously, the old man came here tonight to have the latest front-line information ......"

"Really, what's going on ahead-" Hearing the news of the front front, Tang Zhan asked anxiously.

Lao Jiu smiled, and at first glance, it was a good news, and then said: "You must not have imagined that General Xiao Tian, acting as General Han Zheng, won more with less, and only used 500 men and horses to take Tengzhou and kill the enemy's defenders......" So, Lao Jiu roughly recounted what happened, and Tang Zhan Lu Jing was also very surprised after hearing it......

When Lu Jing heard this, she was shocked and said, "Is it really fake? With Brother Xiao's brain, he can actually think of outwitting - it really impresses me!"

"It's not ...... more," Lao Jiu continued, "I heard that the marshal also specially named General Xiao Tian as 'General Pingwei' for this reason, and his status is the same as that of General Tang Zhan—"

Tang Zhan heard this and said happily: "Is it? It's really good, Brother Xiao is really talented, and his talent was finally discovered by the marshal——"

However, Lu Jing had a different expression after hearing this, and her heart was a little uneasy......

"What's wrong with you, Jing'er?" Seeing that Lu Jing's expression changed rapidly, Tang Zhan couldn't help but ask again.

"Ah, no, it's okay......" Lu Jing seemed to not want Tang Zhan to know, and tried to prevaricate a few words.

"General Xiao Tian is 'General Pingwei', and Miss Su is the 'Imperial Envoy of Thorn Flowers', it seems that the marshal values the two of them very much...... Lao Jiu continued.

Lu Jing was uneasy on the side, and anxiety suddenly appeared in her heart: "What is the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang actually sealing Brother Xiao's military position so quickly...... Before, I made high-profile meritorious contributions with fools, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very wary of us; now that Brother Xiao has military merits, does Zhu Yuanzhang also have intentions for him...... Zhu Yuanzhang is very scheming, I really can't guess what he did this for...... For what......" The more Lu Jing thought about it, the more uncertain her heart became.

"By the way, what is the next goal of the strategy?" At the critical moment, Tang Zhan's other question pulled Lu Jing back from his troubled thoughts.

Lao Jiu continued: "General Xiao Tian planned to capture Tengzhou, General Zhao Zichuan captured Yidu, Shandong's military almost collapsed, and the next target should be the last barrier Jinan...... According to the previous order of General Chang's division of troops, General Xu Da will accompany General Qin Yu and Miss Murong to Jinan......"

"It's finally them......" Tang Zhan listened to it and said with a little joy, "The time has come for Brother Qin Yu to show his skills, Brother Murong has said before, as long as he succeeds in taking Jinan, he will promise to marry Sister Ying to him-" At this time, Tang Zhan remembered that on the day of the division of the army, Murong Fei gave Qin Yu a test or bet.

At the mention of this, Lu Jing also recovered her expression slightly, and said with a light smile: "Yes, I swore in front of Sister Ying before, I hope he can do it...... Before, we worked together to help, and Brother Qin Yu led the troops to gallop mightily, so without our help, I was quite looking forward to what kind of battle he could fight......"

Therefore, with the hope of victory in the war, the battle of the Northern Expedition to Shandong will also come to an end......

The next day, on the outskirts of Jinan, Xu Da's Northern Expedition army was slowly approaching......

"How is the enemy's city defense, how is our army's preparation, whether the gunpowder is sufficient......" The expedition is imminent, and while the army is tense and organized, Xu Da is still paying attention to the military layout of the enemy and us at all times.

"General Hui, our army is all ready, the gunpowder soldiers and horses are ready, and they are ready to attack the enemy city at any time-" The conspirator on the side responded, "As for the enemy army, the armament side is not known...... However, according to the reports from the spies at the front, it is certain that the enemy will definitely hold the city, and it is not ruled out that they will buy time for reinforcements...... In short, if you want to take Jinan, the best response is to take it quickly-"

Xu Da nodded slightly, obviously affirming......

At the critical moment, the messenger's order sounded outside the tent...... (To be continued.) )
