Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

In the underground palace, Jiang Wei ran in in panic.

At this time, he remembered that His Majesty had previously reprimanded him for his insincere words and deeds.

So he immediately adjusted his gait.

However, the inner anxiety is still expressed in words and deeds.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a panoramic view of Jiang Yu's performance and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, after Jiang Wei knelt down with a"plop", he reported:"Your Majesty! Your Highness Taisun sent Muchun to intercept His Highness Prince Ning. Muchun lost the battle! Cangzhou was captured by His Highness Prince Ning's army!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this! At this news, he leaned forward and subconsciously grasped the armrests of the chair.

His eyes were bulging and full of bloodshot eyes:"What did you say? Cangzhou was captured by King Ning?! In such a short time?"

Jiang Wei nodded heavily. Before coming, he had repeatedly confirmed that the news was correct.

Zhu Yuanzhang slumped on the chair, his mind in confusion for a while.

Since entering the underground palace, he felt that things were developing more and more magically.

Prince Ning has always been well-behaved and prudent and generous in dealing with things, but he actually said the opposite without saying a word!

He also knew that Mu Chun, whom Taisun sent out, was Mu Ying's son, and he had been fighting with Mu Ying since he was a child.

He thought he was the son who looked most like Mu Ying, so he felt confident and canonized him as King of Pingxi.

Calculating the time, Mu Chun led the army to Cangzhou to intercept King Ning. The two sides should have just started fighting. Why were they suddenly defeated?

He still remembered that Jiang Wei had said before that Taisun would give Muchun 300,000 men to fight.

Three hundred thousand people! Plus it’s protected by a city wall! Still waiting for work!

The one who is at a disadvantage should be King Ning’s army, which is coming from thousands of miles away!

How could Muchun be defeated?

He is not a fool and will not send troops rashly. Even if he is defending the city, he will not be easily broken.

So what happened?!

What kind of tricks did Prince Ning use to defeat Muchun in such a short period of time?

Thinking of these questions, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes changed from confused to as sharp as an eagle.

He sat up straight and asked eagerly:"What happened on the battlefield? How did Prince Ning win?"

When mentioning this question, Jiang Wei lowered his head in shame and said:"Reporting to your majesty, Jin Yiwei is still investigating this matter. , the reason why Muchun was defeated is still unknown......."

Seeing that Lao Zhu's expression was about to get angry, Jiang Wei immediately explained:"The battle in Cangzhou City ended too quickly! And the strange thing is that not a single deserter escaped."

"After King Ning took over Cangzhou, the defense inside was more like an iron barrel. Jinyiwei was temporarily unable to enter Cangzhou City."

"Therefore, we can only get general information at present. It will take a while to get the specific situation......."

At the end of Jiang Wei's words, his voice became deeper and deeper.

He also knew that the reason he said was very strange, but the reality was just as he described!

Facing the invulnerable Cangzhou City, the Jin Yiwei simply had no way of making a move!

I was looking for any useful information like a needle in a haystack, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

But little did they know that Zhu Quan had planned to wipe out Muchun's army from the beginning.

The Snow Dragon Riders were very powerful and carried out Zhu Quan's orders.

The people under Muchun's command, those who were deserters, were all found by the Snow Dragon Cavalry, and no one was missed.

Afterwards, Muchun surrendered and tried his best to gather the remaining soldiers and put them under Zhu Quan for management.

In this way, the entire process of the fall of Cangzhou City in the hands of Zhu Quan was not leaked.

After listening to Jiang Wei's explanation, Lao Zhu looked solemn.

At this time, he already had a vague guess in his mind.

Prince Ning, is this behavior because he is aware of the role of Jinyiwei in eavesdropping on military intelligence, and is it to prevent the leakage of intelligence?

Could it be that he thought Jin Yiwei was following the orders of Emperor Sun Yunwen?

Is that why you made this arrangement?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of the answer, and now he had no other choice but to say:"Continue to investigate, and report immediately if anything happens."

Jiang Yu took the order and left.

The underground palace became quiet again. Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the chair and recalled what Prince Ning was like in the past.

However, the more memories he had, the more he couldn't believe what Prince Ning had done now.

Now, even he feels that he cannot understand Zhu Quan's son.

In the palace on the other side, Zhu Yunwen was holding a court meeting.

Since he has not yet ascended the throne, sitting on the throne is unjust and unjust.

So he could only add a chair next to the dragon chair to show that he was acting as an agent of the government.

The ministers in the palace are currently debating who should be sent to support Muchun.

In their reasoning, Muchun will stop King Ning's progress in Cangzhou.

However, Mu Chun's army alone may not be able to completely defeat King Ning, so another army must be sent to support Mu Chun.

Current views are basically divided into two schools.

Fang Xiaoru advocated defense and sent Geng Bingwen forward to block Zhu Quan with Muchun.

Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others advocated an offensive, and sent Li Jinglong, son of Li Wenzhong, to join forces with Muchun to attack King Ning's army from both sides, and captured Zhu Quan in one fell swoop!

While the ministers were arguing endlessly, the eunuch suddenly came in and reported:"Your Highness, there is a report of the Cangzhou battle!"
