Northern Territory.

Ming army garrison.

In the camp, everyone was scrambling to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

As people in the military, they naturally hope that they can make achievements.

"There is no need to fight. Since His Majesty has decided to go all out to eradicate Bei Yuan this time, everyone has a chance. You should put the overall situation first and work together to annihilate Bei Yuan in one fell swoop!"

"We won the first battle this time, thanks to your majesty's strategic planning and majestic strategy. We had doubts about this before, but now that I think about it, it is your majesty's foresight that actually predicted that the Northern Yuan Dynasty would invade our border with the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it would not have happened.

It will go so smoothly from the beginning.”

"Therefore, you all should go all out and not let down His Majesty's expectations!"

Xu Da stood up, glanced at the faces of everyone in front of him one by one, and said righteously.

"We shall do our best and fight even to the death!"

Everyone stood up one after another, cupped their hands and fists, and said in unison.

"Okay, in that case, let's go back and prepare now. After a short rest, prepare enough food and grass, and set off at the same time. Don't give Bei Yuan a chance to breathe."

"However, there is no need to rush to destroy the defeated army in one go. We must fight and follow, pursue all the way, and let the fear of failure accompany the enemy until it spreads to the capital city of Beiyuan!"

Xu Da nodded with satisfaction and said loudly.

"As you command!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Immediately, everyone retreated.

Xu Da nodded with satisfaction, turned around and looked at the northern sand table, the fighting spirit between his brows rising to an all-time high.

...

Peking City.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

In the main hall of the front yard, Zhu Di was sitting on a chair with a slightly solemn expression.

Just now, he had received news that the reason why the Ming army was able to achieve a great victory in the border battle and defeat Naierbuhua was all due to Hu Fei's strategy.

"Your Highness, it seems that what you said before is correct. An Guogong is indeed an all-rounder. He is in the capital, but he can influence the situation in the northern border."

Beiping City Guard General Shen An stood aside and said with a similar look on his face.

"Since the last separation, in less than half a year, he has been promoted from marquis to duke, and the power of Jinyiwei in the court has gradually become more and more powerful. I didn't expect that his rise would be so fast!"

"Everyone can see that he is different, and they all know that he is definitely not a thing in the pool, but he can still shock everyone again and again."

"If these talented people cannot be put to good use by me, they will become a big problem in the future!"

Zhu Di frowned and said thoughtfully.

I don't know why, but now he regrets letting Hu Fei leave Beiping City so easily. If he had known that Hu Fei was so capable, he should have forced Hu Fei to make a decision.

Now Zhu Di has become more and more wary of Hu Fei, because once Hu Fei joins the prince, his hope of competing for the crown prince will be even slimmer.

Even if Hu Fei doesn't take sides, if one day he wants to compete for the supreme position, he will definitely be hindered by Hu Fei.

"If it is determined that he cannot be used by His Highness, then we cannot keep him."

Shen An hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, you are thinking too simply. He is no longer the idle playboy he was back then. What's more, there are so many masters in the Jinyi Guards. It would be impossible to kill him without anyone noticing!"

"We cannot break up with him unless we have to. As long as there is still a chance, I will not give up fighting for him."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said.

He did not expect that one day Hu Fei would really be able to break away from his control. What made him even more angry was that now even the Jinqiwei he had placed beside Hu Fei had rebelled collectively and became Hu Fei's own people.

During this period of time, Jin Qiwei had heard very little news about Hu Fei. He had long realized that Ye Qing was no longer his.

After hearing Zhu Di's words, Shen An frowned and said nothing.

"Perhaps, the war in the north can be an opportunity for me."

"Prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. I want to ask my father for a battle and personally go to the northern border to supervise the battle. Send someone to the capital as soon as possible!"

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Shen An agreed and immediately went to prepare.

The prince has lived in the East Palace for a long time and has long been regarded by everyone as the best successor to the throne. If he wants to gain a glimmer of hope, he must make great achievements, win back a city, and gain the support of all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China.

...

Northern Territory.

After a short rest, the Ming army launched an all-out attack to pursue the remnant army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which had been completely defeated. However, they did not destroy them all in one go. Instead, they followed the remnant army into the hinterland of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, capturing a city every time they passed. city ​​and sent troops to guard it.

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched all the way down and have captured more than ten cities in Beiyuan. The number of troops has gradually decreased. However, more and more defeated troops in Beiyuan have been defeated, like rats crossing the street, rout thousands of miles away.

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. Although the strength of the troops was not as good as in the early stage, they still fought bravely and pursued all the way.

But just when the morale of the Ming army was at its peak in Beiyuan, a sudden change occurred. Chunqiutang killers attacked the Ming army's garrison at night and killed dozens of generals and generals in the army!

Overnight, the Ming army was in chaos like a leaderless army!

Although Xu Da was still in charge of the military tent, so many generals were killed all at once, which gave the Ming army a warning and shaken its morale!

Under night.

Ming army garrison.

In the big tent.

Xu Da sat on a chair with a solemn expression. The sudden appearance of the Chunqiu Hall killer not only eased the decline of the Beiyuan remnant army, but also caught Xu Da off guard.

So many generals were killed, and the army stagnated for a while. It could no longer fight normally and could only rest and regroup on the spot.

"General, you haven't eaten for a day. Eat a little first, otherwise how can your body bear it?"

Lieutenant General Lu Chong slowly walked into the camp carrying a bowl of food and said solemnly.

"How can I, the general, survive such a defeat when the army suffers such a defeat? How can I explain to His Majesty the general of the army who died overnight?"

Xu Da frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Because of this, the general should take care of himself. We are still waiting for you to lead us to regain our ambitions. If you collapse from exhaustion, what will happen to these hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Lu Chong looked at Xu Da and comforted softly.

After hearing Lu Chong's words, Xu Da was speechless for a moment, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Don't worry, general. My subordinates have ordered everyone to be on guard. If the killers from Chunqiu Hall come again and take advantage of the opportunity to attack, we can handle it."

Lu Chong said slowly while placing the food in front of Xu Da.

"The top priority is to report the situation in the north to your majesty immediately, and to request your majesty to send generals from the Central Plains to replace him. Otherwise, the army cannot be mobilized in a unified manner. If we wait for the Beiyuan Dynasty to slow down and launch a counterattack, we will be in trouble. !”

Xu Da thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Lu Chong agreed, turned around and walked out.

"who?!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the big tent!

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow suddenly broke through the door and rushed straight towards Xu Da! A short knife with a cold light in his hand stabbed Xu Da directly in the face!

Killer!

"General, be careful!"

Lu Chong exclaimed, immediately pulled out the saber from his waist, and stood in front of the man in black.

Seeing this scene, Xu Da was shocked and showed an angry face. Unexpectedly, the Chunqiu Hall killer actually wanted to assassinate him!

The killer in black didn't hesitate at all, and directly engaged Lu Chong. He came and went with each other, and his moves were ruthless.

Fortunately, Lu Chong had fought with Xu Da for many years. Although his martial arts skills were not outstanding, his ability in close combat was not weak, and he defended Xu Da to the death.

A moment later, twenty or thirty officers and soldiers rushed into the camp, led by Fu Youde, and immediately surrounded the killer.

The killer saw that the situation was not right and wanted to leave, but just when he was about to break through the door, he was shot directly through the back of the heart by a sharp arrow. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground!

"kill!"

Xu Da slowly put down the bow and arrow that had been with him for many years and said coldly.

Fu Youde agreed, and immediately rushed out of the camp with everyone, killing all the other killers outside without leaving any one behind!

"Quickly send the military doctor!"

Xu Da glanced at Lu Chong, who was seriously injured trying to protect himself, and shouted sharply.

The enemy's sudden assassination made Xu Da furious, but at this time, he could only stand still and wait for support...
