Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 134 Emperor Yongle: He'er, you are so old now, you can't stand behind your father!
"This is just your guess, don't take it seriously!" Emperor Yongle looked at the sand table again and again, and finally said in a low voice.

Because, after Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, the room suddenly became silent. Everyone stared at the sand table with furrowed brows, and no one spoke!

As veterans with many years of experience, each of them knew very clearly that if what the Prince of Han said came true, the consequences of continuing to advance would be self-evident.

"Dad, why don't we first find out the whereabouts of the Wala, Wuliangha, and Alutai tribes!" Prince Han couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing his son's words! He believed that his son was right. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle! After all, this is a battlefield, and there is no room for error!

"You guys are just too careful!
It's better for an old man like me to be decisive!" Emperor Yongle felt that everyone was just making a fuss and complained angrily, but when he turned around, he saw that the generals all had serious expressions.

"My dear son, what do you think? Tell me!" Emperor Yongle turned his head and cast his gaze on Zhu Zhanji, who was frowning at the side. He wanted to hear the opinion of the crown prince.

"Grandson thinks what Zhanhe said makes sense, but it's just speculation, without any substantial evidence! Grandson suggests that we can postpone the march for a few days to see the details of these tribes!"
Of course, everything should be done according to Grandpa's wishes! "Zhu Zhanji's meaning is very clear. I think what Zhu Zhanhe said makes sense, but there is no evidence! I have no objection and will listen to Grandpa's arrangements!

Emperor Yongle nodded expressionlessly, a look of slight disappointment in his eyes. Then, he looked at the many generals.

Obviously, many generals were also a little worried, but they did not dare to speak out due to the emperor's majesty.

"Forget it, He'er's concerns are somewhat reasonable!
We'll follow the Crown Prince's advice and suspend our march for a few days to see what those bastards are up to!" Emperor Yongle made the final decision, setting the tone.

"Yes!" Immediately, everyone in the tent said yes.

Everyone left the tent and went back to arrange matters and train their troops.

Soon, Zhu Zhanhe's words came true.

Early in the morning of this day, a messenger hurriedly reported,
"Your Majesty, early this morning, I ordered the soldiers to report that the barracks where the cripple horses were raised did not report in as required!" Prince Han bowed and reported to Emperor Yongle that something unusual had occurred in the horse-raising camp.

"Your Majesty, during an inspection of the troops in each camp this morning, we discovered that some soldiers from the Light Cavalry Battalion had deserted. After reviewing the various camps, we found a total of more than 50 deserters, along with their horses and weapons!" Prince Zhao is indeed an intelligence officer, as the news came so quickly!

"Keep talking!" Looking at Prince Zhao who was hesitant to speak, Emperor Yongle felt an inexplicable twitch in his heart.

"In reply to the Emperor, the soldiers who escaped this time are all Oirat people!
And they were basically all surrendered at the same time twenty years ago!" Prince Zhao said in a deep voice, lowering his head.

As soon as these words were spoken, the camp fell into a dead silence. Everyone knew what it meant that the two of them were trying to surrender and escape at the same time, and that the kidnapper Ma Ying had not reported for duty!
This was a premeditated defection!
"Yu Qian!" When everyone was silent, the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji suddenly cried out in surprise. Because the crooked horse was originally raised with other horses, but in order to train Yu Qian, Emperor Yongle specially set up a separate camp for the crooked horse!

"Grandpa!" Zhu Zhanji looked at Emperor Yongle anxiously.

"Go!" Emperor Yongle also saw Zhu Zhanji's anxious mood, and he could also understand Zhu Zhanji's mood at the moment. After all, Yu Qian was a great talent, and he was the talent he specially prepared for Zhu Zhanji. Who knew that such a problem would arise!
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Zhu Zhanji stroked the knife with one hand and ran out with big strides.

Zhu Zhanhe now felt inexplicably sad about everything he saw, because these few things put together meant that at least dozens of Ming soldiers had died.

"Dad, I want to check the camp!
These bastards from the Wala tribe!
"We can't keep them here!" Prince Han said to Emperor Yongle with gritted teeth. Now Prince Han hated the Oirat tribe to the core!
He had just poisoned his prince a few days ago, and just two days later, they defected en masse! Those Tartars even killed dozens of Ming soldiers and took away the entire Guaizi Horse Camp's horses!

In two days, wouldn't they be dead? This was also the thought of most of the generals present. After all, no one would keep a bunch of traitors! Especially after the incidents of the Han prince being poisoned, soldiers being killed, and military horses being abducted!
"Third brother, what's your opinion?" Emperor Yongle looked at the many emotional generals in the tent and turned his gaze to Prince Zhao.

"I listen to my father!" Although Zhao said this, his narrowed eyes were gleaming with coldness! All of this showed Prince Zhao's murderous intent!
"Oh!" Emperor Yongle sighed imperceptibly, turned his head and looked around, and set his eyes on Zhu Zhanhe behind Prince Han.

In an instant, Zhu Zhanhe noticed the old man's gaze and reluctantly moved to the corner at the back, hoping that his father, Prince Han, could block the wind for him!
What happened was counterproductive!

"He'er! Look at you, you are not a child anymore, you lead an army and are about to get married, but you still stand behind your father. How can you be in such a bad mood!" When Emperor Yongle saw his grandson's small movement of retreating, there was a burst of resentment in his eyes, and he complained in a bad mood for a while.

"Come, come to Grandpa!
You look mighty and domineering!
From now on, you will be like your elder brother and stand by my side!" Emperor Yongle said something that left everyone stunned.

"Huh?!" Zhu Zhanhe was also confused. He originally thought that Emperor Yongle was trying to use him as a scapegoat to persuade the generals not to think about killing people all the time! Who knew that the old man would drop another huge bomb on everyone without paying attention. Then, Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle with a look of astonishment and confusion.

Zhu Zhanhe wasn't sure what tricks the old man was going to play now! But he really didn't want to go!
"Ah for what?

Come here quickly! "Emperor Yongle looked at his astonished grandson, suppressed his inner pride, and said with a sullen face.

"Son, son, go quickly!" Prince Han turned his head to look at his reluctant son. He was so anxious in his heart, and reminded his son in a low voice with a tone full of envy.

Turning around, Prince Han saw the somewhat gloomy face of Emperor Yongle and hurriedly smiled.

Then, Prince Han didn't care about anything else. He turned around and dragged Zhu Zhanhe to the left side of Emperor Yongle and placed his beloved son behind Emperor Yongle.

The left side is the honorable seat, so my son should stand on the left! After dragging Zhu Zhanhe to his seat, Prince Han thought happily.

Many generals were surprised by the Prince of Han's bold move. However, Emperor Yongle just smiled and said nothing, which made him even more confused and puzzled.

No one knows what Emperor Yongle really wants to do!
Emperor Yongle looked at Prince Han, who had arranged Zhu Zhanhe behind him, and then turned his head to look at him again and again, with a look of satisfaction on his face. He suddenly felt a sense of security!
This large pattern! This complete set of armor! This long-handled sword! Plus that clever brain! Perfect! The more Yongle looked at it, the more satisfied he became!

“Okay, okay!

Look, this is more reasonable!" Emperor Yongle said happily to the generals, holding a teacup and pointing at his grandson behind him.

"Hahahaha..." Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the room. Of course, it was also because, although Zhu Zhanhe stood straight, everyone could feel his reluctance, coupled with Emperor Yongle's teasing, the room was suddenly filled with joy.

Just as everyone was laughing, Emperor Yongle suddenly spoke.

"He'er, what do you think we should do with those Wala soldiers?" Emperor Yongle took a sip of hot tea, feeling relieved, and turned his head to ask!
