Chapter 106: After the Battle

  "Alright, I'll let it slide this time since you're emotionally charged about avenging your family." Knowing he had said enough, Zhu Nai finally spared Zhang Feng.

  Poor Zhang Feng hung his head and muttered in agreement, afraid that Zhu Neng would start lecturing again about his temperament. Didn't he see that the two hundred-household officials who were just standing here had already slipped away unnoticed?

  "This time it was me who spared you, you lucky kid. If it were Chi Qianhu who came over, even if the Yuan army didn't kill you, Chi Qianhu would have beheaded you afterwards. He hates nothing more than soldiers like you who don't respect the rules. You should know that formation and killing on the battlefield are strict regulations of our Ming army, especially since you're a deputy commander responsible for dozens of lives. Your irresponsible behavior is disregard for your comrades' lives..." After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Zhu Neng looked at Zhang Feng who was hanging his head in silence and shook his head. This kid still lacks discipline, family feuds may be important but they can't surpass military rules during wartime. Not punishing him was already being lenient.

  "Remember this! In the future, don't ever let something like this happen again. At that time, don't expect me to tolerate you a second time!" Zhu Neng scolded and waved his hand to shoo him away.

  Zhang Feng bowed respectfully and then came out of the tent. At this time, Wang Zhen and Liu Sheng, who had been waiting outside the tent, hurriedly welcomed him.

  "How about it, Deputy Commander's sermon wasn't in vain, was it?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

  "After Vice Commander Qian said that, I feel like I'm really lucky. First, I wasn't killed by the Yuan army, and second, Vice Commander Qian led the team, otherwise I might have been beaten to death with a military stick by now." Zhang Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, clearly also regretful of his previous reckless behavior.

  "Don't think about it anymore, go back and rest well, take a look at those brothers of yours, but don't let there be a next time." Liu Sheng patted his shoulder to comfort him.

  Zhang Feng nodded and walked towards his own camp.

  Liu Sheng and the others watched Zhang Feng's departing back, sighing in admiration. The world has always had talented people emerging one after another. Judging from Zhang Feng's previous display of bravery, it can be said that he will become another Double Blade King in the future.

  ……

  At this time, in the five-yuan military camp account, a group of yuan generals were gathered together with heavy faces to discuss the next strategy.

  Nair Buqa, the great general who had not been dismissed, naturally sat in the first place. Below him was the commander of the 50,000 cavalrymen, Khadaan Togh, a leader of the pro-peace faction, as these 50,000 cavalrymen were drawn from the tribes of the pro-peace faction, and Khadaan Togh was an experienced and steady general, it was most appropriate to give him command to send them to Nair Buqa's army.

  It's clear that plans can't keep up with changes, he had originally planned to arrive at Nayanbo's camp today but didn't expect to run into the Grand General halfway there, and what's more, while fleeing in disarray. As for those two Ping Zhang Zheng Shi who were captured by the Ming people, he was also helpless, after all, it's not possible to use these 50,000 cavalrymen to compete with the other side's hundreds of thousands of troops.

  "Haba Duo! You immediately mobilize the troops and prepare for a night raid on the Ming army's camp. We've been fleeing on horseback for so long, their infantry must be exhausted too. Your 50,000 cavalry will surely achieve great merit if they charge in!" Nai Er Hua, who had come back to his senses, was still thinking of attacking Xu Da's unit, but Haba Duo seemed to have ignored him, giving the general face by letting him sit in the first position. What qualifications does a defeated general have to give orders to me?

  "What! The general's orders are not being obeyed?" Nu'er Hua coldly questioned, ignoring Ha Ba Tuo.

  "General, you say your soldiers are exhausted, but my troops have also been marching continuously. Otherwise, do you think I could have arrived so quickly and saved you?" Ha Ba said irritably, since the army had already lost, he was thinking about how to defend against the Ming army's attack, he didn't want to go out of his way to die.

  "Bring him here! I'll have Habadro dragged down and flogged with fifty rods!" Apparently, Nurhachi was extremely angry at Habadro's impertinence, and was about to punish him on the spot. However, the guards around him did not move, for it was impossible for them to strike their own commander.

  "You... you are rebelling! I'm telling you! The Khan's order to revoke my generalship is not yet a day old, and for one day I am still your supreme commander! I say now, immediately take Ha Ba out and flog him fifty times!"

  Heba Tuobei smiled and stood up, saying: "General, don't waste your energy, you'd better think of a way to keep your own head on your shoulders before you have the chance to hit me. With that, he turned around and left the military tent, this time not giving Nierbuhua any face at all. A person who made the Great Yuan Dynasty lose so many soldiers and generals, what qualifications do they have to be arrogant?

  Nuerbafu, who was furious, pointed at the back of Haba, who was dragging away, and couldn't say a word. This scene also made Potoniu, who was sitting below, shake his head repeatedly. He had thought that Nuerbafu was a man of great stature, but now he looked so flustered and defeated, completely unlike the majestic commander-in-chief he once was.

  Now that you are in the camp of the pro-unification faction, what use is a great general of the pro-war faction? You still think you can give orders like others and even want to fight against their leader, this is truly an absurd idea.

  The pot platform sighed helplessly and got up to bid farewell, he didn't care about his daughter Nuo Hua anymore, but thought about how to explain to the Khan when he returned to the Golden Tent.

  Watching everyone leave him, Naihe did not have the strength to sit on the ground, he was not unaware of the current situation, and what was in his heart was also understood by him. However, he was unwilling, unwilling for his hundreds of thousands of troops to be defeated in vain, and unwilling to let Ming Ren once again ruthlessly trample the dignity of his Da Yuan Dynasty.

  Thinking of the Yuan Dynasty being driven back to the grasslands by Zhu Yuanzhang, how humiliating it was. As a descendant of Genghis Khan, they were losing face for their ancestors and abandoning the glory of the Yuan Dynasty that had been passed down through generations. He recalled the words spoken by Prince Qi before his death.

  "Nier, you must remember that as a Mongol, we can lose and retreat back to the grasslands, but we cannot lose our dignity and faith. The voices of surrender are already appearing in the imperial court, this is a dangerous signal, once someone gets used to begging for peace, he will never have the courage to take back what originally belonged to him."

  "Our great Yuan dynasty destroyed the Song and dominated the Central Plains, now the Ming has driven our great Yuan and is vying for control of the mountains and rivers. I hope that one day you can lead our brave Yuan warriors to return to the Central Plains, destroy the Ming dynasty, and let the iron cavalry of our great Yuan dynasty once again trample those ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers!"

  These words have been deeply engraved in Nayanbuhe's heart until now, and are also the goal he wants to achieve in his life. But now this battle not only lost the last vitality of the Yuan Dynasty, but also disappointed the Khan's expectations for him. He hates Xu Da, hates Zhu Yuanzhang, and even more hates those courtiers on the Northern Yuan court who clamored for peace.

  If it weren't for their repeated obstruction of the southern expedition strategy, if it weren't for their brutal exploitation and extortion that left the herding people with no way to survive, how would the Great Yuan Dynasty have ended up in this state? Internal enemies are often the most deadly. This time, although he himself was defeated, he also gave him an opportunity. It seems that re-taking control of the army is impossible now. However, his son, not Huahua, still wants to kill people. This time, he wants to kill those parasites that gnaw at the roots of the Great Yuan Dynasty. He wants to stir up a bloody storm on the court and make those who dare to speak out for peace shut their mouths forever...
