"Although Huaixi is good at fighting, it is not good at hiding."

"The edge is too exposed." Lv Ben sneered.

"Father's meaning is that the Emperor has the intention to foster generals outside the Huaixi faction, so as to weaken the influence of the Huaixi faction in the army." Lv Hao also understood.

Lv Ben nodded: "Exactly."

"The Emperor holds imperial power and governs the world of Great Ming; for the Emperor, naturally, he does not allow any authority to dominate; the Huaixi generals dominate the army, and their party members are all over the place."

"The Emperor has long been unaccustomed to it."

"Fostering new generals has always been the Emperor's intention, but these years there have been no outstanding generals; after all, although the Great Ming has settled the Central Plains, the northern frontier, the southern border, and Liaodong are still surrounded by strong enemies, and it is still necessary for the Huaixi generals to contribute."

"This Zhu Ying is young and has courage, so naturally he is valued by the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

"Perhaps there is a chance to become a great general in the army in the future." Lv Ben said with great emotion.

The position of standing is different, and what is seen is naturally different.

"That group of Huaixi, especially that Lan Yu, has no respect for my sister at all."

"And they don't look up to Zhu Yunwen, and they open their mouths and close their mouths to subordinates as illegitimate."

"The Emperor is dissatisfied with Huaixi, which is a good thing for us." Lv Hao said with a smile.

"Let's wait and see."

"Today's court situation is no longer like the beginning, everything needs to be low-key and cautious; how much authority did Hu Hu Weiyong have in the past? How many party members? But in the end, it was still all for nothing."

"Your sister is now in control of the situation, and Zhu Yunwen is also deeply favored by the Crown Prince; that position in the future will inevitably be Zhu Yunwen's."

"As long as we follow the imperial will, our Lv family will surely prosper in the future." Lv Ben said slowly.

"Father is wise." Lv Hao smiled and flattered.

Huizhoucheng!

There are still many corpses in front of the city that have not had time to be dragged away.

On the city tower, in addition to chaotic arrows, there are also many marks hit by cannons.

It can be seen that the previous Yuan army's attack was also extremely fierce.

Firearms, cannons.

In this era, they have gradually risen.

And they have been cited to the battlefield, especially in the battle of attacking the city.

Among them, Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang knew the power of firearms and also attached great importance to cannons, letting the Ministry of Works develop them with all its strength.

It can be said that this measure is completely correct.

"Great General."

"The Yuan army's fifty thousand main army attacked continuously for many days, our army's soldiers defended the city valiantly, the Yuan army could not take the city, and after our Great Ming main army arrived, the Yuan army also got the news, so they retreated quickly." Bu Wan respectfully reported to Feng Sheng.

"The Daning border army soldiers who guarded this Huizhoucheng all have merits."

"Pass my order, all record merits, and reward them." Feng Sheng said.

This remark.

Recording merits is naturally reflected in the military pay.

"Subordinate obeys." Bu Wan responded immediately.

"Great General."

"Now that the main army has arrived, is it time to send troops?"

A middle-aged general wearing battle armor looked at Feng Sheng and asked, with a strong fighting spirit on his face.

He is the most arrogant and fierce general of the Huaixi faction, Marquis Marquis Yongchang, Lan Yu.

"Should have sent troops long ago."

"The Yuan army knows that our main army has arrived, and they are already afraid like tigers; our army should strike while the iron is hot and kill them directly." Duke of Zheng, Chang Mao, said directly, looking very reckless to outsiders.

Feng Sheng looked at the two of them, then said: "Has the army been reorganized?"

"Report to Great General, it has been reorganized."

"The twenty thousand main army is divided into two parts, I and Marquis Marquis Yongchang each command one part." Duke of Ying, Fu Fu Youde, immediately cupped his fists and replied.

"Pass my order."

"The Yuan army's retreat to Liaodong was very hasty."

"Use ten thousand cavalry to pursue first, explore along the way, do not get entangled with the enemy, focus on exploration."

"Also, Marquis Marquis Yongchang leads the army under his command to Liaodong." Feng Sheng thought for a moment and ordered immediately.

"Subordinate obeys." Lan Yu's eyes lit up and said immediately.

"As for General Fu."

"I order you to lead the ten thousand army under your command to advance from the side road."

"Nahachu occupies Liaodong, with nearly two hundred thousand troops, and also has at least a hundred cannons, do not take the enemy lightly." Feng Sheng said again.

"Subordinate obeys." Fu Fu Youde also accepted the order happily.

"Go."

Feng Sheng waved his hand.

Lan Yu and Fu Fu Youde retreated from the city tower one after another.

"Nahachu occupies Liaodong, and has built many cities to guard Liaodong City."

"This battle, although our Great Ming is well prepared, it will inevitably be a fierce battle." Feng Sheng said slowly.

"With the bravery of our Great Ming soldiers, it is enough to wipe out this Nahachu."

"And this time, didn't the Great General transport three hundred cannons with the army? With so many cannons, subordinate doesn't believe the Yuan army can hold on." Bu Wan said with a smile.

Feng Sheng nodded: "First explore the details of the Yuan army, then plan the strategy of sending troops."

"In my opinion."

"The Yuan army's attack on our Daning is unfavorable, so they must have retreated to Kaiyuan City."

Bu Wan nodded: "Great General is wise."

"However, Prefect Bu."

"This time Daning was able to hold on until our imperial court's main army arrived, Zhu Ying contributed a lot." Feng Sheng said slowly, his tone full of praise for Zhu Ying.

"Subordinate naturally understands the Great General's meaning."

"It's just that Zhu Ying is still in the north, and when he was left in the northern frontier to drag down the Tatars, it was explained that he would only wait until our imperial court's main army arrived, and his mission would be completed, and if he couldn't hold on, he could also retreat at any time."

"Now I don't know what his situation is." Bu Wan also said helplessly.

"Now we can only see what plans Zhu Ying has."

"After all, the northern frontier is vast, and wanting to send someone to find him is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack." Feng Sheng also had a helpless expression.

For Zhu Ying.

He could be said to be extremely valued.

As a general in the army and a founding hero of Great Ming, seeing such a young hero as Zhu Ying, he naturally had the intention to cultivate him.

At this time!

"Report."

"Report to Great General."

"An urgent report came from Yingtian."

A personal guard came to Feng Sheng.

"Bring it up."

Feng Sheng raised his hand.

The personal guard commander immediately handed the urgent report to Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng took it and looked, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Zhu Ying, this time he is valued by the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

"The Emperor has a decree, adding the title of 【Hereditary Baron】 to Zhu Ying."

Feng Sheng smiled and said to the generals around him.

As soon as these words fell.

Bu Wan's expression shook, and he was also shocked by this news.

"Hereditary Baron?"

"This is a title of nobility."

"The Emperor is actually so generous." Bu Wan was shocked in his heart.

"Great General."

"The urgent report states that the imperial court's angel is now on the way." The personal guard commander reported immediately.

"Good."

Feng Sheng nodded, revealing a faint smile: "At the age of sixteen, he is already titled, this is the first case in Great Ming."
