The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 197 You want to join the Northern Expedition? The Queen Mother won't agree!

"My dear husband, no matter what decision you make, I support you."

Xu Miaoyun leaned gently in Zhu Ju's arms and said softly,
"But if you can't make up your mind, why not ask Master?"

"Haven't you always listened to him the most?"

Zhu Ju was slightly startled.

"Ask the Master..."

"I don't know where he's wandering off to now, but if it were him, he would probably support me in going with the army."

Xu Miaoyun was a little confused when she heard this.

"Why... is this?"

She raised her eyes and asked,
"Don't Taoists seek immortality? Going to the battlefield... isn't it very dangerous?"

Zhu Ju smiled.

"The immortal way values ​​life and saves people without limit! Master often tells me that cultivating immortality does not mean turning yourself into a thousand-year-old turtle! That is meaningless!"

He explained,

"If you want to be a great turtle, then why would the master who has already achieved immortality pass on the secret of longevity to you? It would be simpler to just raise a turtle."

“So, the ancestors passed down the Dharma to save people, and those who were saved should also take saving people and saving all living things as their own responsibility. In this way, saving all living beings can be put into practice and not just empty talk.”

"Of course, what I said is a guiding ideology. Back to this Northern Expedition, I just thought that if I participated in the war, it would reduce many casualties for our army. One person participating in the war can save tens of thousands of people, so why not participate in this war?"

"right?"

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyun nodded seriously.

"It seems that my husband is very confident about this Northern Expedition."

She held Zhu Ju's arm and said with a smile,

"In this case, Miaoyun supports you unconditionally! Just do what you want to do, otherwise you will regret it in the future! If that happens, won't your Taoism be unstable?"

Zhu Ju was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"The one who knows me best is my wife Miaoyun!"

"Hahaha……"

Yes!

He talked endlessly about the reasons for joining the war. If he didn't go, his mind would definitely be unstable!

It is easy to be a coward in Yingtian and enjoy wealth and glory, but when the casualties of the soldiers on the front line are reported, will he not feel regret and remorse?
Obviously not!

So, there is no need to look for a master, the answer is already there!
"but……"

Xu Miaoyun tightened the quilt a little and said,

"If you want to go to the battlefield, it will be difficult to pass the test of the Queen Mother."

"She won't agree. If she gets angry... I'm afraid no one can persuade her."

After marrying into the palace, she almost knew the ins and outs of the imperial palace.

On the surface, of course, His Majesty, the Emperor, is the most powerful! But in reality, the Empress is the one who can shake the palace with every stomp of her foot!
In short, the Emperor is angry, but the Empress can cure him.

The Queen Mother is angry and no one can cure her!
And Zhu Ju, the beloved son of his mother, who has no battlefield experience at all, actually wants to go to war?

Even if you use your toes to think about it, there is no way she would agree to it!

Not only will you refuse to agree, you will also be scolded!

"This……"

Zhu Ju frowned, but then relaxed his brows and said,
"When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out! I am not an unreasonable person, there will always be a way!"

"Wife..."

"Hmm?" Xu Miaoyun tilted her head slightly.

"I feel like I have some energy again, shall we continue?"

Xu Miaoyun's eyes widened slightly.

"I haven't had a child for so long, could it be that there's something wrong with my body..."

"My husband is obviously very strong..."

She muttered a few words, and before she could react, the quilt was already rolling.

……

The next day.

The Grand Marshal's Mansion is filled with generals!

Generals including Xu Da, Deng Yu, and Feng Sheng all sat upright with solemn expressions.

But there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

There's going to be a war!

For military commanders, war is their stage! When there is a war, they are majestic generals! When there is no war, they are no different from old men in the village!

Da da.

At this moment, a figure appeared.

Xu Da raised his eyes, stood up suddenly, and said in surprise:
"Second brother!"

“You…you’re back?!”

When the generals saw the person coming, they all stood up.

"Tang Shuai!"

"Tang Shuai, you're back!"

"..."

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Tang He laughed.

"My mother's tomb is almost finished. Just in time for His Majesty to issue an edict, I will come back and serve as a counselor."

He returned the greeting with a bow and said,
"Sit, everyone, sit down."

"Don't get too excited."

Xu Da quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

"Second brother, come and sit down!"

"We haven't seen each other for half a year!"

Seeing this, Tang He sat behind Xu Da.

"Sit still, you are the general!"

"How can a common person like me sit in front of you?"

Xu Da couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.

"What great general? I am also a commoner!"

"Since I resigned last year, I have not been reinstated yet, and I don't even have an official position! I'm here today as a staff officer! If we talk about official positions, we'd have to line up outside the door! Hahahaha..."

They both laughed, leading everyone in the room to laugh too.

"Marshal Tang is back. It seems that His Majesty is determined to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

Li Wenzhong laughed and said,
"Once the war breaks out, won't you two be the general and the marshal again?"

"We are still waiting for the general and Tang Shuai to lead us to wipe out the Northern Yuan Dynasty and achieve great success!"

All the generals said yes.

Everyone is counting on this battle to get their titles higher!

At this moment, another sound of footsteps was heard.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The loud voice rang out, causing all the generals to stand up quickly.

"See Your Majesty!"

Da da!

Da da da!
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Biao, Zhu Ju and other princes into the hall.

"Be flat."

Old Zhu raised his hand slightly and ordered,

"You guys, just find a seat and sit down."

Zhu Gang, Zhu Chong and Zhu Di all responded and sat on the stool on the right.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Ju stood on Zhu Yuanzhang's left and right, next to the main seat.

"I won't go into that nonsense any more."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice,
"You should know more about Wang Baobao's military training in Helin than we do."

"The army is so powerful and well-organized! It looks like a fierce and powerful army! Who is this fierce and powerful army targeting? I don't need to say more."

"In just one year, he was able to raise an army of 100,000 again. Wang Baobao is indeed a remarkable man! Such a remarkable man makes us worried! If he is given a few more years, wouldn't he have an army of 200,000 or 300,000?"

"When that time comes, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will have recovered its vitality. If the future rulers of our Ming Dynasty are weak, won't we be in the passive situation of the Song Dynasty again? We can't let future generations have a headache with such a cancer! We must remove it while it is still weak!"

"So, we must make a break between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

When the generals heard this, they all looked serious!
"Biao'er, send them the sorted information."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

Zhu Biao nodded and handed the paper in his arms over.

"This is what Liu Bowen analyzed for us yesterday when we were at the Military Academy."

Zhu Yuanzhang said,

"Liu Bowen was our military advisor back then. Although he never fought in battle, he is no worse than any of you here when it comes to military strategy!"

"I think his analysis is extremely valuable! For example, regarding the weather and location of the northern border, I have never been to the northern grasslands, but I have heard about the harsh environment there."

"Xu Da, you have experience in this area, can you tell me about it?"

Xu Da glanced at the contents on the paper and nodded repeatedly.

"This analysis is really insightful!"

He exclaimed,
"Indeed, the northern border is vast, and not only is the climate changeable, but it is also easy to get lost and lose direction."

"Compared to us, the Beiyuan people are much more familiar with the grassland and desert. They are like rabbits on the grassland, they can easily find their nests and escape, but it takes a lot of effort for us to find them."

"This is the reason why Yuan Sijun and Wang Baobao escaped earlier. It is really difficult to chase them."

"It is for this reason that Huo Qubing's deeds were praised by later generations. In the vast desert, he was able to lead his troops to directly destroy the Xiongnu's lair! I have also studied his route, and until now, I still find it incredible!"

"I can only say that, apart from the 'tongue' he caught on the march, he definitely has a strong intuition and a particularly sharp insight! Genius generals often have these two talents and win by surprise! I have some of them too, but not as exaggerated as Huo Qubing."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"I have this intuition too, and I've used it to win in bets before."

Old Zhu said,
"But the Northern Expedition is not a gamble. If we send out troops, we must not lose! At the very least, strategically, we must come up with a plan that is sure to win!"

"Otherwise, from a strategic perspective, we have to rely on intuition and luck. How can we plan tactics? A big gamble? That's not just gambling money. In a war, what is at stake is the lives of thousands of soldiers, and even the fate of the two countries!"

All the generals and princes nodded.

These words are worth learning for all generals!
Our Emperor is the best fighter in the Ming Dynasty!

"What your Majesty said is true."

Xu Da nodded and said,
"Then we will have to expend effort and send out a large number of scouts to draw a march map for the northern border."

"But if we do this, Wang Baobao might notice us and make arrangements in advance. If he defends himself, it's ok. But I'm afraid he will use his ability to escape and take Wang Ting away."

"If we go further north, it will be difficult for our army to fight deep into the enemy territory."

As for the cunning rabbit on the grassland, we are afraid that it will run away!
They disappeared as soon as they ran away, causing the army to return empty-handed. This round trip consumed a lot of energy and financial resources.

"Father."

Zhu Di suddenly said,
"Then can we let the scouts disguise themselves as merchants?"

"Or maybe we can place a few scouts in the caravan and take the opportunity to draw a topographic map. Is that feasible?"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of approval.

"Of course this is feasible, and it is also a common method used by scouts to draw maps."

Old Zhu said,
"Following the caravan not only makes it harder to be noticed, but also solves the problem of food and drink, so we don't have to sleep in the open air."

"However, following a caravan has a disadvantage. The route is too fixed. The trade route and the route for marching and fighting are often different. So if you want to draw a valuable topographic map, you have to spend extra time on it."

He paused for a moment and said with a smile:

"You can think of this right away, which means you have some brains and can think of a solution."

Zhu Di was praised by his father, smiled and scratched his head.

"Although I asked you to come here today to discuss the Northern Expedition, we are not going to use troops right away!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Xu Da and other generals and said,

"We must make adequate preparations!"

"During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han chose spring to launch his military campaign against the Xiongnu! Why? Because spring is the time when cattle and sheep reproduce, and it is the most important time for nomadic people on the grassland. If you start a war at this time, as long as you win, you can seize a large number of baggage, cattle and sheep! Even if the battle is unfavorable, you can still prevent them from resting and reproducing!"

"So, we still have half a year to prepare for the war! Who will take the lead in mapping the terrain and surveying the weather?"

All the generals looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, I will obey your orders!"

Tang He was the first to speak.

"When we were at war, I did this kind of thing. I'm very good at it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"okay."

Old Zhu judged,
"You have always been meticulous. Although you lack some drive, this is not a bad thing."

"Being meticulous has its advantages. I'll leave this matter to you!"

"I obey your order!" Tang He was full of confidence.

When it comes to charging into battle, he may not be as good as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

But when it comes to pre-war preparations, he is responsible for drawing maps, preparing food and fodder, recruiting soldiers, etc., those are all his fortes!
"I will rest assured if I leave this matter to my second brother."

Xu Da nodded and said,
"Let's talk about the second point, the difficulty of mobilization."

"It is indeed not easy to maintain high morale during a long expedition, but Your Majesty can rest assured that if I lead the troops, I will surely unite the soldiers and bring out their full combat power!"

After all, he is the number one commander of the Ming Dynasty!

With his own prestige and some motivation, I dare not say that all the soldiers will become howling wolves, but at least the qualities of professional soldiers will be able to be brought into play!
"Well, you will naturally lead the Northern Expedition, but what we want is not just a combat-ready army."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said,

"What we want are soldiers with passion and faith!"

"Back then, the four words 'expel the barbarians' gave the Ming army faith and passion, which enabled you to march north with unstoppable force! But now, we still need a slogan that can arouse the passion of the soldiers!"

"We need a great article to fight against the enemy! Just like the original article "The Northern Expedition to Fight against Yuan Dynasty"!"

"Who can do it?"

After this question, everyone in the audience fell silent.

The generals looked at each other, and no one dared to obey the order.

It's a technical job to fight against the enemy! How can these rough guys do it?

Even Xu Da doesn't have this strength!
"You all can't do it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,

"It doesn't need to be as flowery as the previous manifestos. As long as you can mobilize the fighting spirit of the men, that's enough!"

"You can use plain language!"

"No one can come?"

This time was different from the last time. Last time, the manifesto had to be elegant because it was not only for the soldiers, but also for the officials and civilians who were still under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty at that time. The purpose was to publicize the Ming Dynasty's destiny and achieve the effect of "deciding by issuing a manifesto." This time, it was enough to mobilize the soldiers' fighting spirit and enthusiasm, and there was no need for propaganda effect.

However, even though the requirements were lowered, the entire audience was still silent at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Da could only smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing is indeed a bit too much for us to ask."

He said,

"Why not let Song Lian, Liu Bowen and the others write it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"We don't need them. When they write, they will definitely quote from classics. That's good, but if you don't have some culture, you won't understand! By then, the soldiers will be asleep!"

Old Zhu rejected it.
"That's not the effect we want!"

Just when everyone was unable to come up with a candidate, Zhu Ju suddenly said:
"Let me do it!"

"Isn't it just to give the soldiers a boost? I know how to do that."

Swish.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Ju.

"Your Highness, King Wu, it seems that it is really possible."

Xu Da laughed and said,

"I still remember the last time at the foot of Purple Mountain, when he was recruiting his personal guards."

"With just these words, he attracted more than 10,000 soldiers to join his army! It was indeed very inflammatory!"

"Your Majesty, why not let His Royal Highness the King of Wu write this great article!"

When he mentioned this, many people present recalled the scene at that time.

Including Zhu Yuanzhang.

The sentence "I promote you to Captain Wu, my Kuaiji boy" made all those old soldiers go crazy!

"Hahahaha... Well, it's a good thing that you volunteered!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,
"You are indeed the best at stirring up other people's emotions. You almost pissed me off to death several times!"

"Then you will write the essay, and you will also be the one to promote it at the swearing-in ceremony!"

Old Zhu had no doubt at all about Zhu Ju's abilities.

This kid is just too lazy. If he were more serious, he could achieve excellent results in everything he does!
"to make."

Zhu Ju nodded, feeling confident and at ease.

"Okay, the first two points have been solved. As for the third point... I have to say that Liu Bowen is indeed a military advisor!"

Xu Da held the paper in his hand and sighed.

"You hit the nail on the head!"

"In our Ming Dynasty, everyone from top to bottom is arrogant! Including myself, we all look down on Wang Baobao and the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"After all, they were defeated by our Ming Dynasty and became helpless. But as the paper says, are they really still helpless?"

"It's only when they flee that it's true! After that, they will definitely become more dangerous and terrifying wolves! Because they have shame in their hearts! They all want revenge! This group of wolves should not be underestimated!"

"Your Majesty, I think this point is worth emphasizing repeatedly in military meetings! Especially for the generals, they must not be arrogant and look down on others, and make the fatal mistake of underestimating the enemy! I think it is necessary to invite Liu Bowen to give us an in-depth analysis so that everyone can wake up!"

The generals held the information in their hands and discussed among themselves.

Xu Da attached so much importance to the third point, which made them perk up and dare not be negligent.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

"This third point...was not thought up by Liu Bowen."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Ju, pursed his lips and said,
"This kid added it. I forgot to tell you."

"So, if you want someone to analyze it, just ask him directly."

Xu Da; “?!”

The generals: “?!”

"...See, see, I said that His Royal Highness the King of Wu is a natural born general!"

Xu Da looked at his son-in-law, rubbing his hands and saying,

"I would like to ask the generals present, how many of you can realize this?!"

"On the contrary, everyone, including me, is deeply involved in this matter. Only His Royal Highness Prince Wu pointed it out!"

"Tsk tsk... If His Royal Highness the King of Wu can participate in this Northern Expedition, our army will surely be even more powerful!"

He had long wanted to get his son-in-law into the army, so naturally he spared no effort at this moment.

"Is this kid that powerful?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said,
"You can't make him look so great just because he's your son-in-law, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone laughed.

Xu Da coughed dryly and said:
"Your Majesty, this is wrong. I have always only considered ability, not relationships."

"If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't! I just think that His Royal Highness the King of Wu does have amazing potential, and his thinking is particularly unconventional, and he often has wonderful ideas."

"He is a bit like Huo Qubing! A young genius! And the Northern Expedition needs people like this! That's why I have repeatedly wanted him to join the war as my deputy general."

"I always have a feeling that with him here, this war might be fought more smoothly."

Zhuju blinked.

My father-in-law’s intuition is quite powerful!
Knowing that bringing myself along can enhance the effect... He is worthy of being the number one general of the Ming Dynasty!
"Really?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little suspicious, turned to look at Zhu Ju, and said jokingly,
"However, Lao Liu is a person who fears death. He would like to stay in Yingtian and become a rich and noble prince."

"Right, Old Six?"

"Your father-in-law is calling you to go to war. Are you willing to go?"

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Zhu Ju.

Zhu Biao also showed a smile.

"Uncle Xu, please don't make things difficult for Xiaojuzi, he..."

"If the country needs me, I am willing to go to the battlefield." Before Zhu Biao could finish his words, Zhu Ju had already said it.

His eyes were calm and his tone was steady.

The cynical temperament on his body suddenly changed! It seemed to become a bit... resolute?!

Zhu Biao: "???"

Zhu Yuanzhang: “?!”

The generals and princes present: "?!"

No one expected that Zhu Ju would give such a response!
"Lao Liu, are you sure?"

Old Zhu frowned and said,
"We are now in the Grand Commandery, which belongs to the military. There is no joking in the military!"

"Are you sure you will go if I tell you to?!"

"That's a war! Not a place to play!"

To be honest, Zhu Ju's answer did surprise Zhu Yuanzhang, and it could even be said that he was caught off guard!
He never expected that Zhu Ju would actually be willing!

This brat... isn't he the most cowardly and cowardly person?

Why did you suddenly change your personality at this time?

It was like he had become a different person, even Old Zhu was a little dazed!

"I know."

Zhu Ju said seriously,
"However, I also think that if I join the army in the battle, I can offer some advice and perhaps help the general achieve a surprise victory."

"This way, my Ming Dynasty can reduce many casualties and losses, and I will just have to suffer a little. This is a great deal!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

He really didn't recognize the Zhu Ju in front of him!
Old Zhu even wanted to say, "Who the hell are you? Come out of our son's body!"
This guy is going to die, he must be possessed by a ghost, and he is a righteous ghost with overflowing patriotism!

"Little Orange, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhu Biao hurried forward and grabbed Zhu Ju's arm, saying,

"War is no joke!"

Zhu Ju raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Biao.

"Brother, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious!"

He said seriously,

"For the sake of Ming, I am willing to do it! I also know that it is not a fun thing, it is a very painful thing, but the pain is only temporary!"

"If we suffer for a while, it will save our soldiers' blood and bring peace to the world. Why not do it?"

Zhu Biao: "..."

Zhu Ju's righteous look left Zhu Biao speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to persuade him!

boom!
"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and cheered,

"Great! Great! This will save soldiers from bloodshed and bring peace to the world!"

"You have such ambition, you are worthy of being our son, worthy of being the regent of Ming Dynasty!"

"No matter whether you can offer advice or not, the fact that a regent prince will join the army in the war is a very morale-boosting thing in itself! It's no less than if we led the army in person!"

"If you want to go, we support you!"

After these words were spoken, Zhu Di and others could no longer sit still.

"Father, I am willing to join the army in the war! Even if I cannot offer advice, it will be good to hone myself and gain experience!"

"Father! I am willing to eat and sleep with the soldiers! I am willing to fight alongside them! Of course, it would be even better if I could command a team!"

"Father, what you learn from books is shallow. You must practice it yourself to know it! We have been taking military lessons for half a year. It's time to put it into practice!"

When Zhu Di, Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong saw that Zhu Ju was praised, they naturally did not want to be left behind!
They also wanted to test the waters on the battlefield and examine the results of the past six months!
"You guys are fooling around too!"

Zhu Biao glared!

A Northern Expedition, four princes clamoring to go to the battlefield?

What a joke!
If anything happens, it will be a heavy blow to the entire Ming Dynasty!

Especially Zhu Ju, this kid is the apple of his mother's eye. If he gets into any accident, she will definitely go crazy! Even the emperor will suffer in that case!
"Brother, this is not nonsense!"

Zhu Di held his head high and said,
"We will all be frontier kings in the future, guarding the border for our father and you!"

"How can we defend a region without going through the trials of blood and fire? This Northern Expedition is a rare opportunity, and I don't want to miss it!"

As he said this, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again.

"Father, I am determined, please grant my consent!"

There was a pop.

He knelt on the ground, his tone extremely firm!
Plop, plop!
Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong also knelt on the ground and begged for orders!

"Your Majesty's princes are truly elite!"

Feng Sheng couldn't help but say,

"Much better than those two good-for-nothing boys in my family!"

All the generals around him nodded.

"Yeah! If my kid had this much guts, I would be so happy that I wouldn't be able to sleep in the middle of the night!"

"Why else can he be called a prince? The son and grandson of the dragon, that's definitely different!"

"Several princes are talented!"

The generals were generous in their praise.

The performance of Zhu Ju, Zhu Di and others is indeed worthy of such praise!

After all, they are just young men, but they have such courage and ambition! Their future prospects must be limitless!

“Haha…okay, okay!”

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted when he saw his sons kneeling on the ground and begging for orders. He said repeatedly,

"You are all great, great!"

"Our sons are really not cowards!"

"Get up, get up, everyone!"

He personally stepped forward and helped Zhu Di and others up, unable to stop smiling.

"You want to fight, you want to gain experience, of course we will give you the opportunity!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"As long as this energy is there, we will definitely be able to achieve something!"

"You guys, let me slowly make arrangements when the time comes!"

Today, these guys really made him proud!
"Thank you, Father!"

The three princes took the reassurance from their father and all smiled happily. They were so excited that they had already begun to imagine themselves galloping across the grassland!
"Zhu Ju, let's confirm with you again."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Ju, his smile faded a little, and he said seriously,
"Are you really willing to follow your father-in-law and go to the Northern Expedition?"

Zhu Ju nodded without hesitation.

"You think I'm useful, and I think I'm useful too!"

"So, I have to go!"

These words sounded very arrogant! It seemed that the Northern Expedition would be impossible without him.

But when it came out of Zhu Ju's mouth, there was no sense of incongruity.

After all, he had a brilliant record in battle! He had done many things that shocked the imperial court! The two seemingly contradictory words, uninhibited and reliable, lived in harmony with him.

Not to mention, he has also analyzed the theory of arrogant soldiers and pitiful soldiers, and has also taken on the task of writing a swearing-in speech.

His figure has appeared frequently since the planning of this war!

"Good, you have courage!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised it highly:

"I've really admired you today. I didn't expect you to have this side of me!"

Zhu Ju smiled and said:
"Of course, I have requests as well."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised to hear this.

"If you don't make some requests, you're not really yourself!"

"Tell me! As long as your request is not too outrageous, we will agree to it!"

Old Zhu waved his hand and said cheerfully.

"I request that my 10,000 personal soldiers be assigned to me."

Zhu Ju said,
"These ten thousand people belong to me alone! They must obey my command and regard me as their backbone!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"What? Do you really want to be a general? Command tens of thousands of people in battle?"

"This is no joke!"

He was a little reluctant to agree.

Although those 10,000 people had already been assigned to the Prince of Wu's Palace, Zhu Ju still felt a little unstable if he had to make them all obey Zhu Ju's command.

After all, that’s ten thousand people!
Without any command experience, if you rashly command a large army of tens of thousands of people to fight, there is a high probability that you will mess it up!

"What? You want to regret it?"

Zhu Ju glared and said dissatisfiedly,

"Didn't you just say that you agreed to everything? I want the command of my own soldiers. Is that not too much to ask?"
