Northern Territory.

Ming army garrison.

In the tent.

After listening to Lu Chong's words, Xu Da fell silent, because Hu Fei's arrival was obviously to help him clean up the mess, which he couldn't accept.

If anyone were to support him, he would not have such a strong objection. After all, in his heart, in front of Hu Fei, he has always regarded himself as a superior being!

"If Duke An Guo personally comes with the Jin Yiwei, that will be enough to deal with the Northern Yuan Chunqiu Hall. That's great!"

Tang He patted his thigh and said excitedly.

Hearing Tang He's words, Xu Da couldn't help but glared at Tang He fiercely, but he couldn't say anything more.

"In addition, the Ministry of War has selected enough people to go to the northern border and will take over important positions in the army. Our army will soon be able to regain its strength."

"They will meet up with the Anguo Guild in Beiping City and arrive together."

Lu Chong also noticed the change in Xu Da's expression. He hesitated for a moment and continued, but his voice was obviously lowered.

"knew!"

Xu Da glared at Lu Chong, waved his hand, and said impatiently.

However, Lu Chong did not retreat immediately, but stood there with an embarrassed look on his face, hesitating to speak.

"What else?!"

Xu Da looked at Lu Chong and asked coldly.

"General, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to say or not..."

Lu Chong said hesitantly.

"If you fart, let it go!"

Xu Da gritted his teeth and shouted sternly.

"I have just received news that we are stationing troops in the northern border to lure the enemy deep into the country. We will go all out to capture more than ten cities in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. This plan is not His Majesty's plan, but... it comes from Hu Fei, Duke of Anguo..."

Lu Chong hesitated and said slowly.

Hearing Lu Chong's words, Xu Da and the three people present were stunned almost at the same time, and their eyes widened in surprise!

"What?!"

"It turns out that all this is the work of Duke An Guo?!"

Tang He couldn't help but stood up and said happily.

Fu Youde couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, looking very excited.

Only Xu Da's face was gloomy and frightening, and he looked like he was gnashing his teeth.

Winning the first battle was a good thing and worthy of celebration, but he had always thought that His Majesty's civil and military strategy was the reason for such a plan, but it was only now that he realized that it was all Hu Fei's plan!

He did not expect that Hu Fei had anticipated everything before the army arrived in the north, and relied on his own plan to win the first battle.

This feeling of being kept in the dark made him very unhappy, especially since this person was Hu Fei!

"What's there to be happy about?! What's the use of winning the first battle!? Have you forgotten that the army just lost dozens of generals?!"

"The top priority is to carefully discuss what to do next! Can he defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers with hundreds of imperial guards?!"

"If we want to win this battle, we can only rely on us!"

Looking at the excited Tang He and Fu Youde, Xu Da's face darkened and he said coldly.

After listening to Xu Da's words, Tang He and Fu Youde looked at each other, sat down silently, and said nothing more.

The feud between the Xu family and the Hu family is unknown to everyone in the capital, especially the fact that Xu Da has always looked down upon Hu Fei, which has long been no secret.

Lu Chong didn't stay any longer and exited the tent with his neck scrunched up.

Xu Da had a gloomy face and felt very unhappy, but he had no choice but to attribute all his dissatisfaction to Hu Fei.

...

Tian abandons the mountain.

On the mountain road, hundreds of people were riding horses, fully armed, and were heading towards Beiping City.

The first person, wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and carrying Jiu Qianhan across his body, is none other than Hu Fei!

"Lord Commander, we have been traveling for several days. We are now less than a day's journey from Beiping City. It is getting late. Do you want to rest here for one night before leaving?"

At this moment, the deputy commander Han Jiang rode his horse to Hu Fei's side and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, in that case, let's find a place to camp nearby."

Hu Fei raised his head and glanced at the sky, then turned to look at the slightly tired men behind him, and said slowly.

Since leaving the capital, they have been traveling almost non-stop without taking a break. They are tired and exhausted, so it is time to take a rest.

Upon hearing Hu Fei's promise, Han Jiang immediately ordered the large troops to camp on the spot. The exhausted Jinyi guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, dismounted one after another, and began to rest.

Just after setting up camp, it was already completely dark.

Pei Jie led the people to build a bonfire, hunted game, and roasted it beside the bonfire.

Hu Fei was sitting in the tent, holding a map of the northern border in his hand and studying it carefully.

"Master, would you like a drink of wine to relieve your fatigue?"

Chundie asked while taking the wine bottle from her arms.

"Um."

Hu Fei responded softly while looking at the map, took the wine bottle, raised his head and took a sip.

The spicy wine surged through his throat and flowed down, making Hu Fei feel more energetic.

After a long time, Pei Jie slowly walked into the camp carrying a hare.

"Master, let's have something to eat."

As Pei Jie spoke, he placed the roasted hare on the table.

"I'm not hungry, you eat first."

Hu Fei glanced at it and motioned to Pei Jie and Chundie to eat first.

Chundie looked at the game on the table and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but Hu Fei hadn't eaten it yet, and she was too embarrassed to do it first.

"Eat yours."

Hu Fei seemed to have noticed something, turned his head and glanced at Chundie, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master."

Chundie nodded, agreed with a smile, tore off a piece of meat, and ate it slowly.

Pei Jie did not eat, but stood aside silently.

"Where are all the personnel selected by the Ministry of War? How long is it until Peking?"

Hu Fei asked calmly while looking at the map.

"According to the news sent back by our people, some people have already arrived in Peiping, and the rest will arrive within two days at the latest."

Pei Jie replied without thinking.

After hearing Pei Jie's answer, Hu Fei nodded with satisfaction.

If the current progress is followed, one day after he arrives in Peiping, he can set off to enter the northern border and join the army led by Xu Da.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei gave Pei Jie a few more words and asked him to rest first, while he kept looking at the map and fell into deep thought.

When he goes to the north, he not only has to deal with Chunqiu Tang, but also finds ways to help the army reverse the situation and achieve some results, so that when he returns to the capital, his status will be improved again.

Now that Hu Weiyong has resigned, the Hu family's influence in the court has been greatly reduced, so he must step up his plans and not let the Hu family's prestige be lost forever.

The most direct way to do this is to be favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and become an indispensable part of the court.

As time went by, it gradually became late at night, and everyone had rested, except Hu Fei, who was still sitting in the tent.

Chundie never went to rest and stayed with Hu Fei all the time.

However, in the dead of night, dozens of black figures suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests.

However, everyone was immersed in sleep because of the long journey, and even the people standing guard began to fight.

Immediately afterwards, several men in black sneaked into the camp and slowly approached the tent where Hu Fei was.

However, just when several men in black showed their daggers and were about to rush into the camp, they suddenly heard a disdainful sneer from above their heads!

Hearing the noise, several men in black were stunned at the same time. They quickly looked up, and then they discovered that a figure in black robes had appeared at the top of the tent, standing with hands behind his hands, looking down at them.

Xiao An!

Seeing this scene, several people were stunned, and then they jumped up at the same time and rushed towards Xiao An who was standing at the top of the tent!

I saw Xiao An sneer, and suddenly took action, swooping down like a ghost, facing several black-clothed killers, using both palms to force the killers to the ground!

Then, before the killers in black could react, the curtain of the tent where Hu Fei was was opened, and Hu Fei slowly walked out with his hands behind his back, a faint sneer on his lips.

Seeing this scene, several killers in black were stunned on the spot. Although their faces were covered with black scarves, their surprised eyes said everything.

They instantly understood that the other party seemed to have known that they would appear!

Immediately afterwards, the originally quiet camp suddenly heard footsteps everywhere, and hundreds of Jin Yiwei suddenly poured out from the surrounding camps!

At the same time, a large number of royal guards also appeared in the nearby mountains and forests, surrounding the other black-clad killers hiding in the forest!

All this seems to have been expected by Hu Fei...
Chapter completed!
