"You should have asked your Majesty to read it." When this personal attendant received the letter, he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"What do you mean?!" This vulgar warrior bulged his eyes at the King of Wu's attendant unhappily.
I am a great general, do you still want to listen to the jabbering of a little kid like you?
"That's enough!" Wu Wang Zhu Meng raised his hand with a darkened face to stop him in time to avoid a conflict.
"General Gu, please sit down and give me the letter."
Zhu Meng took the letter and heard the personal thoughts, and couldn't help but glare at this guy.
What a fool, if he didn't expect these brave and murderous gangsters to work for him, he would really want to chop them all with a knife.
One or two, they were made generals, and they really treated themselves as a big deal.
Cursing in his heart, Zhu Meng opened the letter of challenge and saw the provocative content inside.
The general idea is that your biological father, Zhu Meng, is still in the hands of the governor. You, an unfilial beast, dare to abandon your father and rebel. You are simply unfaithful, unfilial and unjust.
I, the governor, have been ordered by the emperor to patrol the two Zhejiang roads. In the eyes of this governor, you, the King of Wu, are just like Xiaoxiao, a bandit and a road bully.
If you have the ability, lead tens of thousands of your elites out of the city. Although I don't have more than a thousand elites under my command, I can still defeat you, a bandit with no destiny, in one battle.
Looking at this provocative letter of war, the words and sentences are full of belittling, contempt and ridicule for himself, the King of Wu.
Zhu Meng, who had just become King of Wu a few days ago and was still busy integrating his subordinates and recruiting people to join the army, was immediately angered by this letter of challenge.
"You bastard, how dare you humiliate me like this."
Zhu Meng directly threw the infuriating letter of challenge to the ground and roared.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my elite troops to fetch the Gaozhang dog head and present it to your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I'm going. I haven't made any achievements since I defected to your Majesty. It's just time for your Majesty to know my methods..."
A bunch of vulgar warriors were making noises one after another. Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Meng, who was so excited that he was furious, didn't really get excited and directly sent troops to fight.
His eyes fell on his first counselor, Mr. Xu, who had been admitted to the imperial examination, but was dismissed from his post because of greed for a little money. Now he is serving for him.
At this moment, Mr. Xu, stroking his goatee, took the letter in his hand and looked at it carefully.
But Zhu Meng finally showed the momentum of a rebel leader and signaled his subordinates to calm down.
After a long time, the noisy situation like a vegetable market was finally suppressed.
#####
After looking at it for a long time, Mr. Xu handed the letter of challenge to Taoist Ning beside him.
Taoist Ning, who had used Yang Shou to help Zhu Meng predict fortunes, now had a peaceful relationship with Lu Ding and finally regained his energy.
My legs are a little weak when I walk, and my whole body looks a little weak.
After Taoist Ning also looked at it, he whispered to Mr. Xu.
Then he turned his attention to Zhu Meng, and Zhu Meng showed a friendly smile towards these two people.
"Prime Minister Xu, Master Ning, what do you two think?"
"It's up to you, Prime Minister Xu, to speak..."
Taoist Master Ning, ah no... Ning Guoshi quickly humbly signaled to Prime Minister Xu next to him that he was more qualified.
Prime Minister Xu was not polite. The main reason was that the generals around the king were a bunch of mindless and vulgar warriors who only knew how to scream and kill.
Rebellion is not about dressing and eating. It is a matter of losing your head. How can you not be cautious?
Prime Minister Xu first despised those martial artists in his heart, and then bowed respectfully to Zhu Meng.
"Reporting to your Majesty, based on my true opinion, this is probably Gao Zhang's kid's plan to lure the enemy."
"Luring the enemy?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our country Wu has just been established, and everything in the country is still undecided. If we send troops rashly, we will win, but if we lose in the first battle..."
Hearing this, Zhu Meng's expression became serious. Although the general who was just talking was dissatisfied, it had been the practice of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years to promote culture and suppress military force.
Let this bunch of vulgar warriors not dare to refute Prime Minister Xu's words in this hall.
Moreover, Prime Minister Xu's analysis is also very reasonable. First of all, this letter of challenge is so vulgar and provocative.
Moreover, the opponent has set up the battlefield in Changzhou, so there is a high probability that there is an ambush.
What's more, the other party claims to have only a thousand elites. Haha, is it possible?
After all, before you, King Wu, rebelled, the governor decided that you, King Wu, were rebelling, and even had your father arrested and tortured severely, and he was beaten into submission.
He had done so many things, and knowing that King Wu had tens of thousands of troops, he still dared to challenge him. This is either because his brain is broken, or the other party has an ambush.
After such an analysis, everyone in the civil and military circles had to nod their heads and admit that Jiang was still the best, and his analysis was very reasonable and insightful.
Zhu Meng nodded in agreement. Finally, in order to proceed cautiously, Zhu Meng decided to send a reconnaissance team to Nawangting Town to inquire about the military situation.
In addition, he appointed his confidant Zhu Zhonglie to lead a thousand elites and five thousand young men, known as an army of 20,000, and slowly advanced towards Nawangting Town.
If you find that the enemy's army is in large numbers, or is setting up an ambush here, then don't make any move, just confront the enemy, and then send a messenger to report back quickly.
If the enemy is really planning an empty city, then Zhu Zhonglie can decide by himself whether to go to war. Of course, it is best to send a messenger to inform the king. Then the king will lead a large army to outflank the governor in one fell swoop. The team is wiped out.
In this way, he first killed a magistrate, then persuaded another magistrate to surrender, and then dealt with the governor who forced him to rebel. This can be regarded as a reputation.
By that time, heroes from all over the world will definitely come to vote for him.
After all, his biological father is still in the hands of that little thief. If he doesn't capture the little thief, Zhu Meng will be very angry.
Originally, the Zhu family had only about three thousand guards and over ten thousand strong men.
After seeing Wang Zhizhou's head, the commander-in-chief of Suzhou's army immediately expressed his willingness to join the Zhu family, ah... we want to create a great cause together.
Therefore, now they have picked up nearly 4,000 fighting soldiers from here and there. In addition, they are recruiting young men as soldiers. Even if they don't have enough spears and swords, they can stab people to death with sharpened bamboo poles.
After all, he had gathered 30,000 troops and was known as an army of 100,000. He just needed more time to train and polish. This was Zhu Meng's capital to start his business.
However, just when Wu King Zhu Meng and a group of rebellious officials and traitors were discussing sending troops to Wangting Town.
A team of nearly two thousand people had quietly appeared outside Xiuzhou City.
