My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 20: To fight against the Oirat Mongols, how can we do without Xu Da?
When Xu Da heard this, he stopped joking.

"Your Majesty, please explain!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not keep the audience in suspense and went straight to the point.

"Tian De, we want to march north!"

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"really!"

Xu Da sat up suddenly, slapped his thigh, and instantly became energetic, completely getting rid of his sickly look just now, and even his voice became much louder.

"Your Majesty, Old Xu has been waiting for you to say this!"

Just as he finished speaking, perhaps because he had used too much force, the sore on his back was affected and he grimaced in pain.

But Xu Da didn't care about this at all and struggled to get up.

"Your Majesty, when do you say you want to send out the troops? Old Xu is ready to go right now, but let me make it clear first, I have to be the commander-in-chief!"

Seeing his old friend eager to try, Zhu Yuanzhang was both moved and distressed. How come Xu Da was more excited than himself when he heard about the Northern Expedition?
Do you still want this body?

He waved his hand, motioning Xu Da to sit down first.

"Tian De, don't be anxious. We need to think about this matter carefully. You should get well first."

"Your Majesty, this is just a sore on my back, it's nothing serious."

Just this mere back sore can cost you your life in three years!
"You old man, what's the point of just a back sore? Do you want to save your life?"

"How can that be possible, Your Majesty? I am still very strong. Otherwise, I will go to Mobei and chop off Toghon Temur's head and use it as your chamber pot."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt both angry and amused when he saw Xu Da's reckless look.

"Okay, okay, I recently found some good medicine for treating back carbuncle, and it's just in time to be sent to you. This medicine is extremely precious and has a significant effect. It will definitely cure the disease after you use it!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang took out cephalexin and mupirocin ointment. Xu Da took them and looked at them. Are these medicines?

Why have I never seen such a strange medicine?
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang suspiciously and said, "Your Majesty, is this really a good medicine? And it can cure the disease immediately? Have you been deceived by some sorcerer?"

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and said, "Xu Tiande, don't be so shameless! If you continue to act like a woman, I will let Lan Yu lead the Northern Expedition!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. Old Xu, I will use the medicine right away. That brat Lan Yu, he dares to snatch the commander from me? Give him some courage!"

Xu Da also knew how to stop while he was ahead. How could he not understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions?

He called a servant, and after taking cephalexin according to the instructions, he began to apply the ointment.

After contracting the carbuncle on his back, he suffered from unbearable pain and itching every day, which tormented him for some time. He consulted many famous doctors and took countless kilograms of medicine, but his condition did not improve.

Xu Da was also skeptical about the medicine sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, but since His Majesty had the intention, he, Old Xu, could not disobey His Majesty's good intentions, right?
Quan is treating a dead horse as a living horse.

As the maid carefully applied the ointment on the carbuncle on his back, Xu Da didn't feel anything. The pain and itchiness were still there.

Seeing Xu Da's look of disbelief, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said nothing. If you don't believe it now, you will know how powerful it is later.

After all, this is the elixir bestowed by the Immortal Li Han!
Hey, Xu Da's roast goose looks good. I'm hungry, so let's have a taste first. As more and more ointment was applied, Xu Da first felt a slight heat on his back, and then a burning sensation!
This made him so hot that his mouth was grimacing and his head was covered with sweat.

However, as the burning sensation gradually dissipated, he was surprised to find that the carbuncle on his back that had tormented him for so long was no longer painful or itchy!
What Your Majesty gave is truly a good medicine!
After the ointment was applied, Xu Da was so excited as if he had been reborn that he jumped up from the bed and kowtowed several times to Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Your Majesty, this medicine is really miraculous. Thank you for the medicine. I am dumb and can't speak, but my life belongs to you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang helped Xu Da up, feeling moved and a little proud. "You are so good, Xu Tiande. You just said that this medicine was given by a sorcerer. Now you know how powerful it is, right?"

Lou Ying is like this, and so are you, Xu Da. We, the immortals, specialize in dealing with those who are dissatisfied.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more convinced of Li Han.

As expected, he is an immortal!

The magical medicine given not only cured our sister, but also cured Xu Da's back carbuncle.

Not only that, the immortal also bestowed medical books to benefit the people of our Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that I, Zhu, will never be able to repay this great kindness in this lifetime.

Otherwise, how about building a temple for the immortal so that we, Old Zhu, can lead the people of the world to worship him together?
However, we still don’t know what the immortal looks like, so we need to write a letter to ask him if he can give us a portrait.

After the excitement, Xu Da was no longer tormented by the carbuncle on his back. He felt like a different person and became more energetic.

He personally poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuanzhang and also poured a cup for himself.

"Your Majesty, tell me, why did we join the rebel army and fight for so many years?"

Xu Da took a big sip of tea and continued, "Is it for this glory and wealth? Your Majesty, you led us to drive away the Yuan Tartars and also made us a Duke. Logically speaking, we should be satisfied now.

We fought wars before because we could no longer survive the Tartars, so we just rebelled. Wasn't it just to live a peaceful life? But now we live a rich life, but we feel empty inside.

These days, I have been thinking that in this life, I can do nothing but fight. If I continue to be idle like this, I will have to go back to my hometown to farm. "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Xu Tiande, you are so good! If I ask you to go home and farm, you should learn how to do it!"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand the truth, but I won't be able to sleep peacefully until the Yuan Court is destroyed!"

"Tian De, is your vision limited to Yuan Ting?"

Xu Da was startled, looked up suddenly, and then his eyes flashed with fanaticism.

"Could it be that, Your Majesty, you mean to destroy the Wala as well?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Da took out a military map from the room, spread it out on the table, and began to read it attentively.

"Your Majesty, you have won a series of great victories in the war against Mobei in the past few years. Now the Yuan court is at the end of its strength. Despite this, the Yuan court is still the suzerain of all Mongolian tribes. Under the current situation, I believe that other Mongolian tribes are ready to make a move.

Whoever annexed the Yuan court would become the orthodox and the suzerain of Mongolia!
Among them, the one with the greatest advantage is none other than the Oirat! Once the Oirat annexes the Yuan court and unifies all the tribes, it will inevitably pose a serious threat to our Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Da pointed his finger fiercely at the Wala tribe on the map!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. This Xu Da was indeed the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty that he favored. His vision was still so accurate and sharp!
"Open your eyes a little more!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean to..."

Xu Da looked at the entire Mobei area. Even though he was a veteran of the battlefield, he was shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's plan!
