Chapter 105: Open the treasure chest! [Imperial Seal]!
At this moment!

Outside the tent.

"General Qi."

"Outside the camp."

"A personal guard under Zhu Ying of the Daning Border Army requested an audience, stating that there was urgent military information."

Chang Mao's personal guards reported respectfully.

Hear this.

There was a strange look on Chang Mao's face.

"Hahaha."

"Generals, did I hear correctly?"

"Zhu Ying sent someone to ask for an audience, saying there's urgent military information?"

Chang Mao said with a mocking tone.

Obviously.

Chang Mao was naturally full of distrust towards Zhu Ying.

"General."

"Let's meet first and talk later."

"If General Zhu really has urgent military information to report, we must not delay the military plan." Zhang Yu said.

See Zhang Yu speak.

Chang Mao also nodded and immediately said, "Let Zhu Ying's personal guards enter the camp."

Soon.

Cao De, the chief captain of Zhu Ying's personal guards, strode into the tent.

"Meet General Chang."

"I am here on the orders of the General to deliver urgent military information."

Cao De held the bamboo tube in his hand and bowed to Chang Mao.

"What urgent military information do you have from the Daning border army?" Chang Mao asked without much concern.

"My general led us all the way to attack the Liaodong city. He noticed that the Yuan army was short of manpower and elite soldiers, and all the soldiers were new recruits stationed in the battle. Therefore, the general speculated that the Yuan army intended to set an ambush against our army in Tieling City."

"The general has sent down a warning to you to be careful."

"This is a letter written by my general himself."

Cao De handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Chang Mao.

Chang Mao glanced at it and waved his hand. The commander of his personal guards immediately stepped forward and took the letter.

After receiving the letter.

Chang Mao opened it immediately and took a look.

"The Yuan army may have set up an ambush in Tieling, so it's best to be cautious."

This is the only sentence in the letter.

But after seeing this, Chang Mao showed a sneer on his face.

"Go back and tell General Zhu."

"I understand his reminder."

"It's just that this time, we will capture Tieling and break through the Liaodong hub. I am determined to achieve this great feat."

"Let him not think about it anymore." Chang Mao said with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Then he waved his hand.

Directly order the guests to leave.

See this.

Cao De in the tent didn't say much.

"I'll take my leave..."

Cao De clasped his fists and bowed, then turned and left.

When they came, Liu Lei had already reminded them that they just needed to deliver the letter and convey their general's words. As for whether Lan Yu and the others believed it or not, that was not their concern.

Again.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

Zhu Ying has already done what he was going to do.

As for whether Lan Yu, Chang Mao and others believed it or not, it had nothing to do with Zhu Ying.

"hehe."

"There's an ambush in Tieling, be careful."

"I originally thought Zhu Ying acted fairly and honestly, but I didn't expect him to resort to such despicable tactics."

"Now our army is less than ten miles away from Tieling. We are already close to the water and can take the city in one day by relying on Tieling's defenses."

"He was able to achieve the goal of Tieling but failed, and now he's trying to make alarmist remarks."

"An ambush at Tieling?"

"Just relying on the current Yuan army?"

Chang Mao said coldly, raising his hand to tear up the letter written by Zhu Ying.

"What the general said is absolutely true."

"Tieling is very close to our main camp. Tomorrow, we only need to join forces to capture Tieling, cut off the key point of Liaodong, and make the Yuan army in Liaodong no longer connected. This feat, our army will definitely win."

"This Zhu Ying probably saw that our army had already seized the initiative and that it was impossible to seize the victory of Tieling, so he used this method to prevent our army from mobilizing."

"Zhu Ying's actions are somewhat ridiculous..."

All the generals laughed, obviously not believing what Zhu Ying said.

But there is only one person.

Zhang Yu, the commander of the Peking Army, had a thoughtful look on his face at this moment.

After pondering for a moment.

"General Chang."

"I think we should send scouts to Tieling to investigate," Zhang Yu said.

Listen to this.

Chang Mao gave him a strange look and said nonchalantly, "General Zhang, do you really believe Zhu Ying's alarmist words?"

"Our army is advancing so fiercely that the Yuan army has been completely defeated. In recent days, we have captured no fewer than ten thousand Yuan soldiers. Even if the Yuan army recruits more troops, how can they still defeat us?"

"I believe Zhu Ying's alarmist words and wasted the opportunity to fight."

Chang Mao waved his hand indifferently.

"I think so."

"General Zhu Ying would not say this without any reason. It is better to investigate further." Zhang Yu still insisted.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s seriousness.

Chang Mao stared for a moment.

In the end, I didn't refuse again.

"Since General Zhang insists so much, you should dispatch your scouts to investigate."

"However, the army will gather tomorrow and the offensive momentum will not change." Chang Mao said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command." Zhang Yu also nodded.

……

Under the cover of night!

The Daning border army camp is located here.

"General."

"The letter has been forwarded to Chang Mao."

"But judging from Chang Mao's behavior, he doesn't seem to believe it."

After Cao De returned, he reported to Zhu Ying.

"It's up to him whether he believes it or not."

"I have done my best." Zhu Ying nodded.

"Yes."

"I'll take my leave."

Cao De bowed and left the tent.

"Could it be possible that the Yuan army would really set an ambush in Tieling?"

"Given the current situation of the Yuan army, if the Ming army splits into two groups, can Nahachu still gather an elite force?"

In the main seat, Bu Wan said with some surprise.

"The situation in Liaodong is now clear."

"If we just defend, the Yuan army will be defeated."

"How could a figure like Nahachu not know?"

"There is only one way to change the predicament of the Yuan army in Liaodong, and that is to counterattack and defeat or cripple our Ming army. Only in this way can we preserve the foundation for victory in Liaodong."

"A good warrior is good at hiding and employing his troops."

"I think Nahachu has mobilized troops not only from Gaizhou, but also from Tieling. He has even mobilized a lot of troops from Liaoyang City."

"I can be sure that there is an ambush in Tieling in all likelihood."

"Moreover, Nahachu must have been planning for several months and has made thorough preparations. If we want to change the situation on this battlefield, we must advance steadily. It would be best to bypass Tieling and attack to cut off the Yuan army's ambush plan." Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

"Now that Lan Yu's army is approaching Tieling, it's almost impossible for them to give up the attack."

"And this is just your guess after all. They won't believe it. Instead, they will think that you are trying to take credit and delay their chance to fight." Bu Wan said in a deep voice.

"It's up to them to believe it or not."

"However, the mobilization of my Daning border troops cannot be delayed." Zhu Ying smiled faintly.

Then his eyes fell on Zhang Wu: "General Zhang, how is the cavalry deployment going?"

"Report to the general."

"Twenty thousand cavalry have been fully deployed."

"I have asked the logistics troops to feed fodder tonight and make sure the soldiers are well fed and watered." Zhang Wu replied immediately.

"In tomorrow's battle, cavalry will be the key to victory."

"We must be prepared for Lan Yu and his men to be ambushed. Once they are ambushed, our cavalry will attack with all their might and defeat the Yuan army." Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

"I am willing to follow the general until death." Zhang Wu said immediately.

Zhu Ying's gaze fell on Chen Heng and Liu Zhen again.

"All 20,000 infantrymen have been deployed and are ready to be deployed by the general at any time." Chen Heng and Liu Zhen said in unison.

As Bu Wan handed over the command power to Zhu Ying, although Zhu Ying was not the commander, he had complete control of the military power of the 50,000 border troops of Daning. Everything was under his command, and all the strength of the border troops of Daning was concentrated in Zhu Ying's hands.

"it is good."

"There will be a battle tomorrow."

"The key to controlling Liaodong."

"All the generals should go back and rest for a night. We will mobilize tomorrow." Zhu Ying stood up.

"The last general takes orders."

The generals replied in unison.

"Lord Bu."

"You should also take a good rest."

"We will definitely win by the end of tomorrow." Zhu Ying said to Bu Wan again.

"Hahaha."

"With you leading the troops, I'm naturally relieved."

"Military command, do it boldly."

"I fully support you." Bu Wan said with a smile.

……

Inside Zhu Ying’s tent!

"Three first-level treasure chests and four ordinary treasure chests."

“It’s time to open it.”

Zhu Ying lay on his couch, a look of anticipation on his face.

Zhu Ying has never opened these treasure chests.

Two of them were previously granted the title of earl and noble title.

One is that the number of enemies killed exceeded 4,000.

The other four were two imperial edicts obtained by beheading two generals of the Yuan army who were equivalent to the rank of commander.

"Open all the treasure chests."

Zhu Ying gave the order.

"Open four ordinary treasure chests."

"Obtain ten packets of [Crazy Diarrhea Powder]."

"Obtained five [Tien Shan Snow Lotus] flowers."

"Obtain ten [Fine Steel Knives]."

"Obtained 100 [Fine Steel Armor-Piercing Arrows]."

"Open three first-level treasure chests."

"Obtain [5000 Gold]."

"Obtain the treasure map of the [Imperial Seal]."

"Obtain a complete set of [Steam Engine] blueprints."

the panel prompted.

"[Imperial Seal] Treasure Map!!"

Just a glance.

Zhu Ying's eyes fell on the second reward that came out of this level of treasure chest.

There was a hint of shock on his face, and even an indescribable expectation.

The national jade seal!

Ever since Qin Shi Huang unified China, the existence of the imperial seal has been known to everyone.

Whoever obtains the imperial seal is the legitimate emperor and is blessed with the fortune of China.

This may also be a declaration of the emperor's legitimacy.

However, after the Five Barbarians Invasion of China, the imperial seal became history and disappeared.

Countless emperors in later generations had a great desire for this imperial seal!
"Mandated by Heaven, I shall live long and prosper forever."

"This is to let me get the imperial seal."

Looking at this reward, it would be strange if Zhu Ying was not excited.

Although he is now in the Ming Dynasty, he has gained the opportunity of immortality and the future world belongs to him.

Found a country and become emperor!

It would be a lie to say that Zhu Ying did not have such ambition.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is stable, Zhu Ying can't do anything, but there are too many opportunities outside the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty would not always be strong in the future.

First there was the Jingnan Rebellion, then there was the Tumubao War God. If the Tumubao War God really came, Zhu Ying would never sit idly by and watch countless Han men being tricked to death by that fool.

"The treasure chest here is of great value."

"The jade seal of the country."

"I will definitely find it someday. With this imperial seal, I will one day be the legitimate heir of the Han Dynasty."

Zhu Ying thought excitedly in his heart.

The treasure map of the imperial seal was then retrieved.

next moment.

An ancient map appeared in Zhu Ying's hands.

"The location on this map seems to be in the northern border, in the heart of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"It is indeed possible."

"When the Five Barbarians invaded China, the entire Central Plains was in chaos. It's possible that the imperial seal was dragged into the northern border by foreign tribes."

"Let's take one step at a time."

"If we really reach this point, we will be forced to surrender."

Zhu Ying took a look at the map and barely knew the location, but he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the imperial seal is there and won't run away.

Come back to your senses.

Zhu Ying put the map away and then his eyes fell on the other rewards offered.

"Kuangxie Powder."

"We lost everything we got to those Tartars."

"The effect should be quite good. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

"The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a good thing to keep. It's a rare spiritual medicine."

"The fine steel sword will be given as a reward to the personal guards who are good at fighting and have made great contributions."

"Fine steel armor-piercing arrows, much stronger than ordinary arrows. Perhaps they can carry internal energy, making them more powerful. They can be used as a trump card."

"Five thousand gold, not bad."

"As for this steam engine."

"We already have blueprints for flintlock rifles, powerful cannons, and high-quality gunpowder, and now we have the steam engine."

"It seems that there will be a chance for me to build a modern country in the future."

"From now on, I might get an artificial intelligence in the future."

Looking at these rewards, Zhu Ying couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

but.

Although these cannot be materialized now, Zhu Ying will be able to materialize them one by one in the future.

"Properties panel."

Zhu Ying called out in his heart.

……

"As long as there's one more battle, all attributes will hopefully break through 4,000."

Looking at his attribute panel, Zhu Ying thought secretly in his heart.

These past three months.

Although the attacks continued.

However, they did not encounter a large number of Yuan troops, and the stationed Yuan troops all surrendered at the sight of the enemy, so Zhu Ying did not enjoy the killing.

But this time it was the Battle of Tieling.

There will be a big war!

Although he did not receive accurate intelligence, Zhu Ying was very confident in his own certainty that the Yuan army would set up an ambush in Tieling and use Tieling as bait to ambush the Ming army.

Turn your eyes!
Tieling City, inside the general's mansion.

Alishili sat in the main seat, with the generals standing on both sides.

"General, everything is ready."

"For the past month, no one has been able to enter or leave except those escorting food and supplies." A general reported to Alishili who was in the main seat.

"kindness."

Alishili nodded, his expression extremely serious.

"Everyone."

"The Ming army is only ten miles away from Tieling. They will definitely attack tomorrow."

"Tomorrow's battle is about the Yuan Dynasty's control over Liaodong, and even more about our survival."

"The fact that you, the generals, have come to Tieling City this time shows that your loyalty has been recognized by the Grand Commandant."

"of course."

"To be on the safe side."

"Before you came here, my family had already stayed in Liaoyang City."

"If this news leaks out, not only my family, but also the families of all the generals will not survive."

Alishili said to everyone with a serious face.

As soon as these words fell.

The expressions of all the Northern Yuan generals in the hall changed.

Almost everyone felt uneasy and even angry.

"Generals, there is no need to look at me like that."

"Our family has been detained. This was ordered by the Grand Marshal himself and approved by the Emperor."

"For the Yuan Dynasty, everything is worth it." Alishili said in a deep voice, his words were absolutely firm and without any emotion.

"Ask the general."

"Is this battle asking us to defend Tieling to the death and not retreat a single step?"

"If we retreat, will all our families die?" asked a Northern Yuan general.

The other generals all focused their attention.

"Do not."

Alishili shook his head.

"This battle!"

“It’s not a battle to defend the city.”

Alishili said in a deep voice.

"It's not a battle to defend the city?" Many generals were even more puzzled.

This time their families are trapped in Liaoyang. Once Tieling is lost, their families will be in trouble. But now it seems that they are not asked to hold on to the death?

"The reason the Grand Commandant has all of you, and even my family, under guard in Liaoyang is not because he's afraid you'll desert the battlefield, but because he's worried about the news leaking out."

"This battle."

"The general has already made plans, using Tieling as bait to annihilate the invading Ming army." Alishili said in a deep voice, murderous intent in his eyes.

"General."

"Even if we have nearly 100,000 troops in Tieling this time, the Ming army also has a lot of troops. How can we annihilate them?"

"Since the fall of Jincheng and Kaiyuan, the morale of our men has been greatly damaged."

"If we hold on, it might be possible, but annihilating the Ming army is almost impossible."

"Yes."

"The Ming army now has a force of 200,000. In Gaizhou and Tieling, we can only defend..."

The generals of the Yuan army spoke out.

There was no hope at all for Alishili's proposal to annihilate the Ming army.

The situation now is no longer the same as it was a few months ago when the Ming army just attacked. The situation on the battlefield has changed drastically.

"Inside and outside Tieling City."

"I have 150,000 men of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Tie Ling City is full of things that can start a fire, strong liquor, and kerosene."

Alishili spoke slowly.

There was a coldness in the voice.

Cooperating with the personal guards on duty outside the palace, it adds a cold and murderous aura.

"General."

"Could it be that the Taiwei intends to use Tieling as bait to lure the Ming army into the city and burn it down?" a Yuan general asked in surprise.

The expressions of the other Yuan generals also changed.

If that is the case.

That might really be able to annihilate the Ming army.

"The battle in Liaodong is over."

"If we cannot annihilate the Ming army, Liaodong will be lost."

"That's why the Grand Marshal decided to burn the city to wipe out the invading Ming army in one fell swoop and turn the tide of the war." Alishili smiled coldly.

"But General."

"The Ming army is led by Lan Yu. He is an expert in commanding troops and I'm afraid he won't be fooled so easily."

"If our army shows any intention of retreat, the retreat will be too obvious and Lan Yu will not be fooled." A Yuan general said in a deep voice.

"One hundred and fifty thousand troops."

"Among them are 50,000 newly recruited soldiers, most of whom are Han Chinese."

"I will use these 50,000 troops to stop Lan Yu's attack and make them die in the city."

"And my 100,000 elite Yuan soldiers will wait for an opportunity to strike. Once Lan Yu leads his troops into the city, we will set it ablaze."

"The army attacked Lan Yu's center and annihilated it in one fell swoop."

"This battle."

"The Grand Commandant has determined the strategy, which cannot be violated. I will personally supervise the battle."

"When the war starts tomorrow, anyone who dares to leak even a little bit of information will be killed." Alishili shouted in a deep voice, with an unquestionable tone.

Under the pressure of his gaze.

All the Yuan generals in the hall stood up and said: "We swear to be loyal to the Yuan Dynasty until death!"

"Generals."

"We must not miss this opportunity. This battle depends on the survival of Liaodong."

"To avoid accidents."

"Every general's personal guard will be incorporated into the army, and the generals' safety will be personally protected by the Grand Marshal's personal guard."

"As long as we win this battle, Grand Marshal, the Emperor will never forget the achievements of all the generals."

Alishili said loudly again.

A clap.

Thousands of personal guards had gathered outside the general's mansion. These were Nahachu's personal guards, and they were absolutely loyal to Nahachu.

This time, the plan of burning the city was the key for Nahachu to change the situation of the war.

In terms of layout, Alishili has completed it.

But in terms of intelligence, Alishili must be eliminated.

The presence of these personal guards eliminated the possibility of the generals in the city leaking the news.

only if.

Only then can the plan of burning the city succeed.

Wait until the generals leave under the protection of Nahachu's personal guards.

In the main hall.

Only Alishili and his two deputy generals were left.

"Everything is ready."

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on tomorrow."

"Once we succeed, we will surely inflict a heavy defeat on the Ming army."

"Our army can also counterattack and reset the situation in Liaodong." Alishili said in a deep voice.

The next day!

Nearly 100,000 troops arrived at the city of Tieling.

As the hub city of Liaodong.

Outside Tieling City is a vast plain, where a hundred thousand troops are lined up, still in the open.

Under the banner of the Ming army.

Lan Yu stood on the chariot, accompanied by Chang Mao and Hu Hai.

"General."

"Brothers are ready."

"Just wait for the general's order and the whole army will attack."

Chang Mao looked at Lan Yudao excitedly.

"Have you investigated the situation in Tieling City?" Lan Yu asked in a deep voice.

Obviously.

He already knew that Zhu Ying had sent someone to deliver the letter.

Although he disliked Zhu Ying, Lan Yu was also very cautious as a general.

"Please rest assured, General."

"Our army has already sent out five scouts to investigate."

"The Yuan army is stationed in Tieling City, and there are no ambushes outside." Chang Mao patted his chest and assured.

"kindness."

Lan Yu nodded and felt relieved.

Gazing at Tieling City ahead, he said: "If we can capture this city, Liaodong will be conquered!"
