Change calendar, change year three, June.

Hot weather is not suitable for expedition.

But the information from the Hidden Dragon Envoy forced Cheng Mu to seize the opportunity.

Emperor Ming Zhu Yuanzhang committed suicide.

When he first heard the news, Cheng Mu firmly didn't believe it.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?

A grassroots emperor, the first person to counterattack in ancient times.

But the National War only started in the second year, and Zhu Yuanzhang died?

"Your Majesty, it's true!"

Yin Ci replied: "A month ago, Wei Qing, the general of the Han Empire, led his army to attack Xu Da in Nanyang Mansion."

"The champion, Hou Huo Qubing, took advantage of the stalemate between the two sides and led his army to sneak attack Zhu Yuanzhang, who was marching in person."

"Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to be captured, so he committed suicide!"

No one expected that the quagmire-like battlefield of the Ming Empire would be broken like this.

Huo Qubing unexpectedly attacked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"He is indeed the champion."

Cheng Mu was both surprised and helpless about this result.

He originally wanted to confront Zhu Yuanzhang, but was intercepted by Huo Qubing.

Fortunately, this is actually good news.

Once Zhu Yuanzhang died, wouldn't the Ming Empire be on the verge of collapse?

This is his chance, Cheng Mu!

After Apocalypse Kingdom was promoted to Apocalypse Empire, Cheng Mu became much bolder.

He already dared to steal things from the Han Empire.

At this time, Ying Ci reported again: "Your Majesty, after Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Di ascended the throne!"

"And Wei Qing was severely injured by Xu Da in order to stop him!"

"So at this time, the war in the Ming Empire is at a stalemate again!"

Although this is Cheng Mu's opportunity, the Ming Empire is not on the verge of collapse yet.

"oh?"

After hearing the information about Yin Ci, Cheng Mu said thoughtfully: "That means that it is most likely that Wei Qing replaced Zhu Yuanzhang with his life?"

Who is Xu Da? The most powerful general in the Ming Empire!

When he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was attacked by Huo Qubing, he would definitely go back to rescue him at all costs.

If Wei Qing wants to stop Xu Da, who is almost crazy, he will have to pay a huge price.

Therefore, Cheng Mu believed that the serious injuries mentioned by Yin Ci should be more than a few.

"What your Majesty said is true!"

In fact, Shadow Thorn did not know the extent of Wei Qing's injury.

The serious injury was just the news released by the Han Empire.

"Right."

At this time, Cheng Mu asked again: "Then Zhu Di let Huo Qubing go back safe and sound?"

Huo Qubing rushed into the Ming Empire's army and forced Zhu Yuanzhang to death.

If Huo Qubing is allowed to go back in this way, it will really be a slap in the face of the Ming Empire!

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, yes."

Yin Ci did not see it with his own eyes. But the actual situation is that Huo Qubing returned to the Han Empire's military formation safely.

"Well, I get it."

Cheng Mu nodded, and then called Guan Hai directly: "Count the army and prepare to set off!"

Before he came back, he originally wanted to meet Emperor Yongle of the North.

And now, the real Emperor Yongle has arrived.

With Zhu Di's methods and courage, he is very likely to be able to save the Ming Empire.

But for Cheng Mu, adding insult to injury and taking advantage of the situation is his favorite thing to do!

However.

After Guo Jia got the news, he immediately came to see him.

"His Majesty."

As soon as Guo Jia arrived, he went straight to the topic: "It's still too early for us to go on the expedition!"

"Why?"

In a state of passion, Cheng Mu needs a reasonable explanation.

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough time."

Guo Jia explained: "Once we defeat Zhu Di, we will directly face the Han Empire!"

The current Han Empire is like the scorching sun at noon.

Guo Jia was definitely not suitable for confronting him head-on when he was at his most powerful.

"We will eventually fight the Han Empire. What's the difference between doing it sooner or later?"

This time, Cheng Mu had his own opinion.

Could it be said that his battle with the Han Empire will definitely fail?

"There is a difference."

Guo Jia advised: "Your Majesty, we have only taken over Cheongju Province for a month or two. The current Cheongju Province is not enough to provide support for this battle."

"Fighting at this time, the pressure in China Province is extremely high!"

This is not an alarmist statement by Guo Jia.

More than a year of fighting is actually a very high burden on the country.

Now, whether it is the Tianqi Army, the Beifu Army, or the newly formed Flying Tiger Army and the Kyushu Fleet.

These armies are all special arms.

Everyone consumes a lot of food every day.

Plus a high salary.

It is indeed difficult to support an army of four million with the financial resources of China Province.

What's more, the Divine Sword Army and the Sword Soul Army haven't been included yet.

They also need food and salary!

"Are we going to give up the Ming Empire with our own hands?"

Cheng Mu was a little unhappy.

What a great opportunity! If we rush forward now while both sides are losing, then the Apocalypse Empire will be the biggest fisherman!

And once the Han Empire takes over the entire Ming Empire, there's no telling how powerful the Han Empire will be.

Isn’t this the danger of raising tigers?

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Cheng Mu's thoughts, Guo Jia added: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? We still have allies!"

Once the Tang Dynasty occupied the Song Empire, the Tang Dynasty would also be very powerful!

"One more thing is."

Guo Jia continued: "The Qin Empire cannot just sit back and watch the Han Empire become stronger."

"After all, compared with us, the Qin Empire and the Han Empire are our real neighbors!"

Anyway, according to his opinion, it is not appropriate to go on an expedition now.

It will only allow the Apocalypse Empire to confront the Han Empire in advance.

"What if the Han Empire invades the Ming Empire and goes south?"

This is what Cheng Mu is worried about.

In vain, the Ming Empire was handed over to the Han Empire, and then the Han Empire repaired itself and then attacked itself.
