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

When Zhu Yunwen heard the battle report coming from Cangzhou, his eyes lit up.

He immediately shouted:"Submit the battle report quickly!"

The eunuch did not dare to delay and immediately sent up the battle report in his hand. After passing through the layers, the battle report was delivered to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen opened the battle report with great expectation, hoping to see news of Muchun's victory.

However, when he saw the words above clearly for the first time, he couldn't help but frown.

This is not the battle report sent by Muchun! It was a battle report from Texas further south!

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but wonder. what happened? Didn’t you say this was a battle report from Cangzhou?

Why not Mu Chunfa’s battle report?

Why did the content inside change to Texas?

He suppressed his doubts and continued reading. Before he read two lines, he realized something was wrong!

The news inside was so shocking that Zhu Yunwen's heart trembled and it was difficult to accept it.

He actually stood up subconsciously and blurted out:"What?! Muchun was defeated?! Cangzhou has been captured by Zhu Quan?!"

Zhu Yunwen felt that his eyes were going black, as if a heavy hammer had hit him. On the head.

At the same time, there was an annoying buzzing sound in his ears, so that he was not even aware of his gaffe.

Now the four characters"Mu Chun was defeated" occupied his entire mind and kept circling in his mind!

Zhu Yunwen couldn't figure it out.

Didn’t he already give 300,000 people for Muchun’s dispatch?

How could it fail?

Why did you lose so quickly?

Zhu Yunwen really couldn't understand this question. His face was pale, and he slumped down on the chair, not knowing what to say next.

When all the ministers heard what Zhu Yunwen blurted out, they froze in place.

Even though the people present were all official veterans, they could not hide the shock on their faces.

What did His Highness the Emperor Taisun just say?

Muchun was defeated?!

Cangzhou was also captured by King Ning?! real or fake?

How could this happen? What does Muchun do for food?

The ministers looked at each other, hoping that one of their colleagues would say something at this time to break this embarrassing situation.

Finally, someone said:"Your Highness, Muchun led an army of 300,000 to Cangzhou to fight. Judging by the time, he should have just arrived in Cangzhou, right?"

"A huge defeat was formed so quickly, and Mu Chun, who led the troops, could not absolve himself of the blame! He should be severely punished!"

When the ministers saw someone criticizing Muchun, they immediately found the direction to speak and agreed one after another.

"Mu Chun must have underestimated the enemy too much, which was why he was defeated! Your Highness, Muchun must be severely punished! To boost military morale!"

"Muchun was defeated so quickly, maybe he had second thoughts! I believe that Muchun and his family should be thoroughly investigated immediately! If the other party has already planned to surrender to the enemy! Your Highness should have taken precautions early!"

Seeing that the condemnation of Mu Chun had gone from being incompetent in leading the troops to doubting whether he had second thoughts, Fang Xiaoru's expression was extremely embarrassing.

Everyone knew that it was Fang Xiaoru who recommended Mu Chun to challenge King Ning.

If Mu Chun was right Your Highness has two minds. Doesn’t that mean that Fang Xiaoru has ulterior motives?

Fang Xiaoru could no longer remain silent. He reminded everyone:"Everyone, I think the most important thing now is not to punish and hold people accountable, but to Negotiate countermeasures"

"If no measures are taken, it will not be long before King Ning leads his troops south."

When he heard that King Ning might lead his troops south, Zhu Yunwen suddenly panicked.

He immediately asked:"Mr. Fang is right, what are your countermeasures?"

The ministers lowered their heads at this time and were speechless.

It would be fine to let them speak out and convict, but they could directly make suggestions. They really couldn't say anything.

At this juncture when Muchun had just achieved a great defeat, what if they proposed countermeasures? What should we do if it leads to another big defeat?

It's better to pretend to be stupid and fail to think of a countermeasure than to take responsibility.

Seeing that no one was talking, Fang Xiaoru suggested:"Your Highness, why not send a large army immediately, led by Geng Bingwen , resisted Zhu Quan in Jinan."

After Zhu Yunwen heard Fang Xiaoru's words, he couldn't help but wonder:"Why not start a war in Dezhou? And in Jinan, which is going further south, wouldn't Texas be handed over to Zhu Quan?

Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard and said,"Your Highness." King Ning's army reached Cangzhou in such a short period of time, which shows that the march was very fast."

"Excluding the time for the battle report to be delivered, I am afraid it is too late to send people to defend Texas, so I think it is better to wait for work in Jinan and launch a war."

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng exchanged gloomy looks after hearing Fang Xiaoru's eloquent remarks.

Qi Tai was the first to ask:"Master Fang, Mu Chun is the person you recommended, but he made such a big mistake, and now he has given up Dezhou. Give it to Zhu Quan, what are you thinking about? Huang

Zicheng helped:"If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to others, you will be dark. Your Highness, you must not listen to one or only believe!""

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes when he looked at Fang Xiaoru changed immediately.

Fang Xiaoru wanted to defend himself, but didn't know what to say.

Muchun was indeed recommended by him and he couldn't deny it. The current defeat was due to him. As expected.

Seeing that Fang Xiaoru had nothing to say, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng immediately struck while the iron was hot and praised Li Jinglong.

"Your Highness, Li Jinglong is the successor to the founding general Li Wenzhong. He has been familiar with military literature since he was a child."

"Yes, not only that, he has also trained troops in various places many times and is very familiar with the army. If he leads the army, he will surely win!"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but be shaken after being encouraged by these two people.

So he was heartbroken and ordered:"Li Jinglong will lead an army of 500,000 to stop King Ning in Dezhou!"
