Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is indeed difficult. However, we can try to contact them privately to clarify the significance and urgency of the reform to them. At the same time, we can also appropriately promise some political benefits in exchange for their support. But remember,
Don’t do it too hastily, lest it backfires.”
Zhao Shenjun nodded in agreement and left in a hurry to carry out the order.
After Zhao Canjun left in a hurry, Zhu Han stood alone in the camp, staring deeply at the map, thinking about every next move.
At this time, Vice General Li hurriedly walked into the camp with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I have just received a secret report from the capital. Several of the courtiers in the court who were on the fence about the reform seemed to have been bribed by Zhu Di and began to openly revolt in the court.
Questioning the prince’s motives.”
Zhu Han's brows furrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "As expected, Zhu Di moved very quickly. Pass the order and ask Zhao Canjun to increase contact with the people of Qingliu, and make sure they speak out for us in the court.
Expose Zhu Di's conspiracy."
Vice General Li took the order and left, but Zhu Han did not relax his vigilance.
In the capital, Prince Zhu Biao was anxiously waiting for news from the border. A close aide hurriedly walked into the study and reported nervously: "Your Highness, the situation in the DPRK has suddenly changed. Several courtiers who originally had a wait-and-see attitude towards reform suddenly defected.
, joined forces with Zhu Di to question His Highness King Han’s motives in the court.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, his brows furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "These wallflowers are indeed unreliable. Send the order, let the Qingliu people strengthen their public opinion offensive, and make sure that the father and the courtiers see Zhu Di's true face."
The confidants and staff followed the order and left, but Zhu Biao was not relieved.
At this time, in Zhu Di's mansion, Zhu Di was sipping tea proudly and listening to the report of his confidants. "Your Highness, those courtiers in the court who originally had a wait-and-see attitude towards the reform have been successfully bribed by us and began to question in court.
King Han’s motives.”
Zhu Di smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Very good, this is a good move. Next, we must continue to increase our offensive against King Han, making sure to leave him isolated and helpless in the court."
The old counselor added from the side: "Your Highness, we still need to use the reputation of the Qingliu people among the people to create some unfavorable rumors for them, so that they will have no time to take care of themselves."
Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "This plan is very clever. However, remember to do it perfectly so that King Han cannot detect that it was us."
Just as Zhu Di was plotting with his advisers, an attendant hurriedly walked into the study and reported in a panic: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the border. King Han led his army to successfully repulse the enemy's sneak attack, and the grain and grass camp is safe and sound.
"
When Zhu Di heard this, his face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "King Han is indeed not simple. However, the war on the border is only a superficial contest, and the real battlefield is still in the middle of the court. Pass the order and let the chess pieces in the middle of the court.
If you continue to launch attacks, King Han will definitely be devastated."
The attendants were ordered to leave, and Zhu Di stood alone in front of the window, staring at the capital city in the night, secretly planning his next move.
In the military camp on the border, Zhu Han was discussing countermeasures with the generals. A scout hurried into the camp and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, there is news from the court that those courtiers who originally had a wait-and-see attitude towards the reform suddenly switched sides and began to
Question your motives in court."
When Zhu Han heard this, he did not show the slightest panic, but just smiled lightly: "These wallflowers are indeed unreliable. However, this also gives us a chance to see clearly who our true allies are."
Zhu Han turned around and faced the generals with a firm gaze: "Send the order and tell the soldiers to be more alert. The enemy is likely to take this opportunity to launch a fierce attack. We must remain unchanged in the face of changes, hold our position and wait for reinforcements."
General Zhang stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general has ordered each battalion to strengthen patrols, and at the same time send more scouts to detect the enemy's movements to ensure that the enemy's situation is grasped as soon as possible."
Zhu Han nodded in approval, and then looked at General Wang, who was in charge of logistics: "General Wang, how is the situation of the food and grass supply line? Can you ensure that the army has no worries?"
General Wang raised his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, although the supply line has been attacked, the general has sent additional elite escorts and it is expected that stable supply will be restored tomorrow. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
At this time, a young deputy general stepped forward hesitantly, with a bit of worry in his expression: "Your Majesty, the situation in the DPRK is so turbulent, will it affect the morale of our army?"
Zhu Han sighed slightly, and a trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes: "Morale is the soul of the army and cannot be shaken. Send an order to the entire army and tell them that what we shoulder is not only the peace of the border, but also the future of the Ming Dynasty. The responsibility of every soldier
All our efforts will be remembered in the annals of history. At the same time, we must strengthen ideological mobilization so that every soldier understands that we are fighting for justice."
The generals nodded after hearing this, and their morale seemed to be boosted. Zhu Han knew that it was crucial to stabilize the morale of the military at this moment. He continued: "In addition, strengthen the contact with the Qingliu people and let them know the hardships on the border and our determination.
, strive for more support from public opinion.”
Zhao Shenjun took the order and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have arranged manpower to ensure smooth communication with the Qingliu people."
While everyone was discussing, a scout hurried into the camp and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, the enemy has made some changes. It seems that they are gathering heavy troops with the intention of launching a general attack on our army!"
Zhu Han frowned and quickly analyzed the battle situation: "The enemy is trying to take advantage of the turmoil in the court to defeat our army in one fell swoop. With this order, the entire army has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. It must hold its position and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
He turned to look at General Zhang: "General Zhang, you immediately lead your elite troops to ambush the enemy's flanks, looking for fighter planes to launch a surprise attack. Remember, you must stay hidden, and you will hit with one hit."
General Zhang took the order and left, while Zhu Han continued to deploy other defensive measures.
In the capital, Prince Zhu Biao was also anxiously waiting for news from the border. A close aide hurried into the study and reported solemnly: "Your Highness, the war in the border is tense, and His Highness King Han is leading his army to resist tenaciously."

Zhu Biao heard this, clenched his fists, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Send the order, let the people of Qingliu increase the public opinion offensive, and make sure that the father and the courtiers can clearly see Zhu Di
His true face. At the same time, prepare supplies to support the frontier."
The confidants and staff followed the order and left, while Zhu Biao stood alone in front of the window, staring into the distance, silently praying in his heart that the border soldiers could return safely.
In Zhu Di's mansion, he learned that the war on the border was stalemate, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "King Han, oh King Han, you have fallen into my trap after all. Give the order and let the chess pieces in the court continue to attack. You must let them go."
King Han is isolated and helpless in the court."
Zhu Han stood in front of the Chinese army's tent, his eyes like torches, scanning the soldiers who were ready to go, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Soldiers, the peace of the border and the future of the Ming Dynasty are all tied to us. Although the enemy is strong, we have
With justice in hand, the support of the people, and the trust of the prince, we will win this battle!"
General Zhang took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "My lord, don't worry, I will fight the enemy till the end and never retreat!"
Vice General Li also clenched his weapon and firmly stated: "Your Majesty, all the scouts have been dispatched. We are able to control every move of the enemy. As long as the enemy dares to come, they will never come back!"
Zhu Han nodded, with approval in his eyes: "Okay! I, Zhu Han, am truly lucky to be able to fight alongside you all. Remember, we not only have to win this battle, but also win the hearts of the people and win the future of the Ming Dynasty."
At this time, a messenger hurried over with a nervous look on his face: "Your Majesty, the enemy has approached our defense line with great momentum!"
Zhu Han frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure: "Instruct the entire army to enter combat mode. General Zhang, you lead the elite troops to face the enemy head-on and attract the enemy's attention; Lieutenant General Li, lead the light cavalry to detour from the side and look for weaknesses in the enemy's army.
, give a fatal blow."
General Zhang and Vice General Li took the order and left to prepare for battle. Zhu Han stayed in the central army and paid close attention to every change on the battlefield.
The battle started soon, and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth. The troops led by General Zhang met the enemy head-on, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle. Vice General Li led the light cavalry, shuttled across the battlefield like ghosts, looking for opportunities to attack.
Just as the battle was heating up, a scout rushed into the Chinese army's tent covered in blood. Before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, there is chaos in the enemy's rear. There seems to be internal strife!"
When Zhu Han heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "This is a God-given opportunity! Order Vice General Li to immediately lead his troops to raid the enemy's rear. We must defeat the enemy's command system in one fell swoop!"
When Vice General Li heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. He quickly turned around and shouted loudly to the light cavalry behind him: "Brothers, follow me! Go straight to Huanglong and defeat the enemy's command!"
The light cavalry responded in unison, and with high morale, they followed Lieutenant General Li and rushed to the enemy's rear like an arrow from a string. Zhu Han stayed in the middle army, keeping his eyes on the battlefield, and sent orders to adjust the tactical layout from time to time.
At the same time, the battle on the front battlefield of General Zhang was extremely fierce. He held a spear and took the lead, fighting with the enemy generals. The shadows of his spears flew and cold light shone in all directions.
"General Zhang is mighty!" a guard shouted loudly, cheering for General Zhang.
General Zhang responded while fighting: "Brothers, hold your position and don't retreat! Let the enemy see how brave our sons of the Ming Dynasty are!"
Seeing this, the enemy general roared angrily, slashed with his sword, and tried to get closer to General Zhang. General Zhang was flexible and easily dodged, and shot the enemy general directly in the heart with his backhand, forcing him to retreat.
On the battlefield, the two armies were fighting, swords were flashing, and the shouts of killing were loud. Zhu Han stood on a high place, paying close attention to every change on the battlefield, and issued orders from time to time to adjust the deployment of troops to ensure that every ounce of power could be used to its maximum effect.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's left wing seems to be loose!" A scout hurried over and reported breathlessly.
When Zhu Han heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "What a good opportunity! Send an order to the right wing to launch a surprise attack immediately, and be sure to tear open the enemy's defense line!"
After receiving the order, the right-wing general did not hesitate at all, and led his soldiers to rush towards the enemy's left wing like a tiger descending a mountain. The enemy was caught off guard, and a hole was ripped open in the defense line in an instant.
"The enemy is in disarray! Charge with me!" the right-wing general shouted loudly, charging into the enemy's position at the lead.
With the success of the right wing's assault, the situation on the entire battlefield began to reverse. Seeing this, Zhu Han immediately ordered the entire army to launch a general attack. The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the enemy's positions with shouts.
"For the Ming Dynasty! For the sake of our homeland! Kill!" the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.
Following Zhu Han's order, the soldiers swarmed toward the enemy like a tide, with thundering war drums and loud shouts of killing. Zhu Han held a long spear and took the lead, shuttling between the battle formations, and stabbed accurately with every shot.
The enemy's key point.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Upon seeing this, a guard hurriedly reminded him, and at the same time, he slashed open an enemy soldier who was trying to attack Zhu Han with a knife.
Zhu Han nodded in thanks, and then said to General Zhang beside him: "General Zhang, reinforcements seem to be coming from the enemy's right wing, so be careful to deal with them."
General Zhang's eyes were firm and he responded loudly: "The general understands that he has ordered his deputy general to lead his troops to intercept. Your Majesty, don't worry!"
At this time, Lieutenant General Li had led the light cavalry to successfully raid the enemy's rear, and the enemy's command system fell into chaos. Lieutenant General Li took the lead, pointing his spear, and was invincible, causing the enemy generals to retreat one after another.
"Come with me and take the enemy general's head!" Lieutenant General Li shouted loudly, and the light cavalry followed closely, like sharp blades, piercing the enemy's heart.
On the battlefield, a fierce battle was going on between the two armies. Zhu Han observed the battle situation from time to time and flexibly adjusted his deployment. Seeing the increasing pressure on the left wing, he immediately said to the messenger next to him: "Send my order quickly and order the reinforcements on the left wing to attack immediately. We must hold on.
Defense line!”
The messengers followed the order and left. Soon, a new force was added to the left wing, and the situation gradually stabilized.
Just as Zhu Han was preparing to pursue the victory, a scout hurried over and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be intending to retreat, but there seems to be an ambush behind!"
Zhu Han frowned and quickly analyzed the situation. The enemy was cunning and there must be a trick. He pondered for a moment and ordered General Zhang and Vice General Li at the same time: "General Zhang, lead your troops to continue the pursuit, but you must remain vigilant to prevent
The enemy has an ambush. Lieutenant General Li, you immediately lead the light cavalry to the front of the enemy's retreat route to find and destroy possible ambush."
When General Zhang heard this, he looked stern and cupped his hands and said: "General, you must be careful when receiving orders." After saying this, he turned around and shouted to his soldiers: "My sons, follow me in pursuit, but remember to stay vigilant and don't be careless!
"
Vice General Li also had a solemn look on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission and break the enemy's ambush!" Immediately, he led the light cavalry out like a whirlwind and headed straight for the place where the enemy might set up an ambush.
Zhu Han stood at a high place with his eyes like a torch, staring at every detail on the battlefield.
At this time, a personal guard hurriedly ran over, looking anxious: "Your Majesty, there is an elite enemy team breaking in on the right wing, and our defense line is tight!"
