Chapter 204 Trap?

Xu Qin said that he would go back later, saying that his two uncles had been arrested and he wanted to find out about the situation. No matter what, he couldn’t just ignore his own uncles. Although he could ignore his cousin Li Jinglong, he still had to ask about his own uncle.

Zhu Di was helpless when he heard Xu Qin say this. Should he go back to find out the situation? He still needed to go back to find out the situation? He was the emperor, but he didn’t come to ask him or beg him, but went outside to find someone?
Zhu Di stared at Xu Qin and said, “What could have happened? He was just arrested, right? Let the imperial prison interrogate him. If there is nothing wrong, let him go. We can talk about it later if there is anything wrong!”

“Uncle, I am really sleepy. Aren’t you tired? It’s noon and you don’t want to sleep? You still have to think about how to fight and how to command the war in the afternoon?” Xu Qin looked at Zhu Di helplessly and said.

“Can you rest during the war?” Zhu Di said, staring at Xu Qin.

“Then I’ll finish my fight in the morning and rest in the afternoon.” Xu Qin muttered to Xu Qin.

“Let’s go, why are you sleeping?” Zhu Di pulled Xu Qin away.

In the Duke of Wei’s mansion, Li sat there worried. He could not enter the imperial prison, but Xu Huizu could go in, but he could not go because he was under house confinement. Xu Qin could also go, but he was captured by Zhu Di and taken to Jiming Temple.

And where Xu Huizu was sitting at that moment, looking at his two younger brothers and sisters-in-law who were crying in the living room, he already knew what was going on. His two brothers-in-law were actually not corrupt. Although he could not say how well the county magistrate was doing, there was no corruption.

In addition, they would not get involved in the affairs of the Eastern Palace. After all, they were not from the imperial examination background, and those civil officials looked down on them.

Xu Huizu felt something was wrong. It seemed like a trap. Someone had deliberately tricked the two of them into it to accomplish something.

Xu Huizu didn’t know who the specific purpose was. After thinking for a while, Xu Huizu stood up and said to Li: “I’ll write a letter to Baoer.”

“Yes, yes, let Baoer come forward. It is said outside that Baoer is deeply trusted by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he comes forward, there will definitely be no problem.” The eldest aunt immediately nodded and said to Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu frowned and asked, “What’s the news from outside?”

“Ah?” Xu Qin’s aunt looked at Xu Huizu in confusion. Xu Huizu asked, “You just said that people say Bao’er is deeply trusted by His Majesty?”

“Yes, that’s what has been said. Now there are so many officials outside the Duke of Wei’s mansion, hoping to beg for mercy.” Xu Qin’s eldest aunt nodded immediately, and his younger aunt also nodded beside her.

“Okay, I understand.” Xu Huizu nodded, but he was even more confused in his heart. He needed to tell Sakyabao about this doubt, otherwise, he would not even know that someone was plotting against him.

Xu Huizu felt that his two brothers-in-law were being plotted against.

Xu Huizu went to the study and began to write a letter to Shakya Bao. After a while, Li came in and said, “I have sent someone to inform Bao’er. Bao’er should know. Why are you writing now?”

“It’s strange at this moment. These two are neither corrupt nor troublemakers. They may not be good county magistrates, but they won’t be arrested. I’m worried that this is a trap.” Xu Huizu said without raising his head.

“A trap? For whom? For Baoer or for our family?” Li immediately looked at Xu Huizu vigilantly and said.

“It could be Baoer’s, but I don’t know what exactly happened. We need to continue observing. It’s okay. I’ll write a letter to remind Sakya Bao.” Xu Huizu shook his head and said.

“Okay, tell Baoer to be careful and not to be impulsive. Also, since Baoer is in Jiming Temple, you can let Baoer mention it to His Majesty to see what His Majesty’s intentions are and whether there will be any major trouble.” Li nodded. She didn’t want her Baoer to be in danger.

Xu Qin had been dragged by Zhu Di to the wing room where the sand table was placed. This time Xu Qin was on the defense while Zhu Di was on the attack. Xu Qin made two plans to lure Zhu Di to send troops to attack, and then besieged and annihilated nearly 10,000 of Zhu Di’s men.

Zhu Di had not yet broken through Xu Qin’s defense line. Yao Guangxiao sat there stroking his beard, and he was even more convinced of Xu Qin. He didn’t want to say how this guy would perform on the battlefield, but based on the simulation on the sand table, he thought this guy was indeed good.

Zhu Di didn’t dare to attack rashly now and could only keep testing. Xu Qin was still making plans and secretly mobilizing troops, waiting for Zhu Di’s next attack. After testing each other for about an hour, Zhu Di felt that the opportunity had come and mobilized the cavalry to charge into the defense line.

But before Zhu Di could reach the big city, Xu Qin cut off his retreat, and the entire Ming army had already surrounded Zhu Di’s army.

Zhu Di saw this and admitted defeat. He had no choice but to admit defeat. He was surrounded, and Xu Qin also had cavalry. Although the Ming cavalry’s individual combat capability was not as good as the Tatars, they still had infantry and engineers to cooperate with them, and there was also the Shenji Battalion. Even if Zhu Di fought his way out, there would be only a few people left, and he would lose if he continued to fight. “You can do it, kid? Ah, I thought it was a good opportunity, but it turned out to be a trap!” Zhu Di said to Xu Qin with a smile.

Xu Qin stood up, stretched and said, “This thing is just for fun. On the battlefield, it is not that simple. No one knows the actual situation. Maybe a small thing can affect the entire battle situation.

All right, Your Majesty, I’m going to go out for a walk. This is too boring.”

As Xu Qin was about to go outside, Zhu Di immediately shouted: “At night, you will lead my Ming army to kill people on the grassland, and I will lead the Tatar army.”

“What the hell, you want to tire me to death? I don’t have the energy for that. I won’t play anymore. It’s boring.” Xu Qin said unhappily when he heard it. Although the simulation was helpful to his command of the battle, it was very limited.’

A real general must be experienced in battle and must have been at the front line. It is impossible for him to command the army to win a battle just by sitting in the command center. There are too many changing factors in war and too many uncontrollable factors.

When Zhu Di heard Xu Qin say this, he stared at Xu Qin. Zhu Di wanted to know how Xu Qin would command the army and defeat the Tatar army. The Tatars were a thorn in his side, and he would not be able to sleep well if he did not completely defeat them.

Seeing Zhu Di’s expression, Yao Guangxiao immediately said, “Your Majesty, tomorrow is fine. Don’t worry. Your Majesty will be here for a few days anyway. You have nothing to do, so you can do some deduction.”

Zhu Di then nodded, and Xu Qinke ignored them and left the room immediately.

“This kid is terribly cautious. Look at the defense he just commanded, it’s a mixture of real and fake, true and false. I have been cautious enough, but I was still fooled by this kid.” Zhu Di said, staring at the sand table.

“Your Majesty, if you look carefully, no matter where you break through, your cavalry will fall into the trap. He has already completed the deployment, and he only needs to open the pocket and wait for your cavalry to rush in. Later, when Sakyabao saw that your army had not come in, he deliberately slowly withdrew troops.

The reason why we slowly withdraw troops from the defense line is that we don’t want you to doubt. In this way, you dare to charge in. As long as you charge in, you will be defeated. This guy has completed the defense. I have to say that he is really smart and a talented general. However, he still needs to be tested on the real battlefield. “Yao Guangxiao said as he stood there.

Yao Guangxiao saw very clearly how Xu Qin mobilized the troops.

After hearing what Yao Guangxiao said, Zhu Di looked carefully at Xu Qin’s deployment and found that it was indeed the case. After Xu Qin completed the deployment, the Tatar cavalry would be surrounded as long as they rushed in. If they did not come in, they would die. “

“How did this guy do it?” Zhu Di was very surprised. Xu Qin’s layout seemed very rough at first glance, but it was precisely because of this roughness that it ensured that the Ming army could cooperate at any time. Even if only half of the troops on the entire defense line could cooperate well, they could surround and kill the Tatar cavalry. This gave the Ming army a huge room for error.

“Your Majesty, this child is worthy of your training, and it needs to be done as soon as possible. I am worried that if this kid’s family continues to make money like this, it will be difficult for your Majesty to transfer him at that time.” Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di and said with a smile.

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Yao Guangxiao, who was stroking his beard and smiling.

“Well, you are right, right!” Zhu Di nodded. He was also worried that Xu Qin would really enjoy himself after he became rich. Although there was nothing wrong with Xu Qin enjoying himself, from Xu Qin’s point of view, enjoying himself was the safest thing.

But Zhu Di knew that if he wanted his eldest brother to secure the position of crown prince, it would be impossible without Xu Qin’s help.

“Your Majesty, it is not impossible to let Ji Gang’s daughter be a concubine of Sakyabao before, and if possible, send more. Your Majesty can ask the queen to summon Cheng Guogong’s sister to attack and explain the key points. If Sakyabao has several sons born in a short period of time, then he can join the army.

At that time, even if Duke Wei opposed it, it would be useless. Duke Wei’s lineage has a successor, so how can Duke Wei stop it? However, we must not let Sakya Bao know at this time. If Sakya Bao knew that your majesty’s purpose was this, it is estimated that it would take many years for this son to be born. “Yao Guangxiao smiled and suggested to Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and said to Yao Guangxiao: “You are right. Well, this time, we will select some girls from among the ministers and send them to Xu Qin’s mansion to be concubines.”

Yao Guangxiao nodded with a smile. If he wanted Xu Qin to join the army, he had to do it as soon as possible. If he was slow, it would be very difficult to get this kid to go.

This is the only way to ensure that the lineage of Duke Wei can be passed on.
