Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

At this time, the news that the imperial court was about to send troops to conquer Annan quickly spread back to Annan's country.

Annan King Hu Jimin was very upset. To Daming, he used to be extremely polite.

But if Daming wants to fight Annan, he doesn't need to find any reason at all. He is not guilty, but he is pregnant with his crime. He just wants to use you as a channel, just to eat chili.

But Daming can't be blamed for this matter, after all, Hu Jimin himself issued the edict to declare war on Daming.

Therefore, when the news of Daming's dispatch of troops came back, he faced His Highness's ministers and asked.

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has sent troops to attack Annan, if you have any ideas, you can talk about them carefully. I must take everyone's strengths into consideration."

At this time, one of the generals named Li Dahong stood up and said with a big mouth.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about things like this at all. We Annan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are smoke barriers everywhere, and we have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If we resist them, I'm afraid it won't take much effort."

Just after Li Dahong finished speaking, another minister stood beside him, almost speaking in a tone filled with righteous indignation.

"I just got a tip that Daming beheaded Chen Rikun to sacrifice the flag before dispatching troops. Even though he is the former Prince Annan, he is also slapping me in the face of Annan."

Hearing this, although Hu Jimin felt that Chen Rikun was not his son and would die if he died, there was still some truth to what they said.

After thinking about it, he said to these civil and military people.

"Everyone, don't say anything else. Anyway, the edict to declare war with Ming Dynasty is issued by me. That is to say, this battle must be fought. If we want to fight, we must win it. This is what we should consider. .”

After finishing speaking, he immediately glanced at Hu Pingzhi.

Hu Pingzhi is now the person with the most real power and the nephew of the current Annan King Hu Jimin.

When Hu Jimin brought down the Chen Dynasty, he made his nephew his successor because he had no biological son, and at the same time mastered all the military and state affairs of the Annan Kingdom.

"Pingzhi, you are now the prime minister and the domestic Taiwei. Now is the time for you to speak. You should talk about what you think and how we will fight this battle with Daming."

In fact, even if Hu Jimin didn't ask, Hu Pingzhi wanted to stand up and say something a long time ago. He is also the heir of An Nanguo, so it would be embarrassing not to speak.

"Your Majesty, in fact, we can't afford to take Daming Tai seriously. General Li said just now that Annan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has excellent soldiers and sufficient food. Even if there are [-] elites from Daming coming here, we will kill them all. Under the city."

At this time, Hu Jimin suddenly remembered a question, and then asked the civil and military officials present.

"This time, I don't know which marshal of the Ming Dynasty is leading the army. Could it be Xu Da or Lan Yu? If it's them, we really can't take it lightly."

At this time, An Nanguo's Minister of War suddenly came out to speak.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This time, Daming too underestimated the enemy. He only sent more than 1 soldiers and horses, and there were no veterans to lead the troops. It was just a 12-year-old child who led the expedition."

This time, Hu Jimin didn't know what to say. He originally thought that Daming wanted to attack Nan, and if he wanted to fight a tough battle, he would send at least one hundred thousand troops.

And the generals they sent were at least veterans like Xu Da and Lan Yu.

No matter how bad it is, they have to send someone like Tang He or Li Wenzhong, which can be regarded as saving face.

Now he only sent 12 soldiers and a [-]-year-old child to attack him, obviously he didn't take An Nanguo seriously.

After hearing the information, he immediately regained his energy, so he said to his ministers.

"Since Da Ming underestimates the enemy and advances so aggressively and doesn't take us Annan seriously, then we have to hit them head-on, at least let them know what pain is."

At this time, there was only the last link left, which was the selection of generals. At this time, Hu Jimin knew that what his nephew lacked most was military merit.

So he wants to give this best opportunity to his own people, he said right away.

"Pingzhi, now that you are the prime minister of my An Nan Kingdom, you will be fully responsible for all this matter. You have assembled an army of [-], and you will leave the city to station immediately."

Hu Pingzhi knew in his heart that [-] soldiers and horses were all the elite An Nanguo could produce.

But in front of these important ministers of the court, naturally he couldn't say that, so he directly cupped his hands and replied.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. After I leave the city with these [-] soldiers, I will definitely let that little boy named Xie Jin come and go. Daming's [-] elite soldiers are just training us."

In fact, there is a reason why he is so confident, because not only does he have [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, but more importantly, half of the soldiers and horses are elephant soldiers.

In the thinking of the Annan people, the elephant soldiers are the most elite troops, and one can be used as twenty.

In other words, as long as the elephant soldiers go out on horseback, one elephant soldier can withstand twenty elite cavalry without losing.

Not long ago, Hu Pingzhi defeated Champa with five thousand elephant soldiers. Now Champa is not only a vassal state of Ming Dynasty in name, but also a vassal to Annan.

So after he led his troops out of the city, he immediately said to his lieutenant general.

"At first, I thought that Daming would send some famous generals. At that time, although we had a large number of people, we might not be able to resist, but we only sent a little baby, and that was to send us to death."

Li Dahong, the deputy general, immediately complimented him and said.

"Your Highness is very reasonable. This time, Da Ming suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy and advancing forward. Besides, we have [-] elite troops. This is our overwhelming advantage over Da Ming."

At this moment, a scout broke in, and said directly to the two generals who were still complacent.

"Two generals, there are a lot of Ming troops outside, and they are already fifty miles away from us, but they don't seem to have any intention of attacking us at all. I don't know why."

At this time, Hu Pingzhi immediately said to the soldier.

"Of course they can only be fifty miles away and cannot attack us, because the little boy knows that as long as he dares to attack, he will only die if he encounters our elephant soldiers."

Li Dahong, the lieutenant next to him, naturally also had a compliment, and said hastily.

"Your Majesty has always wanted to make His Majesty the heir, but many ministers are dissatisfied and feel that you are not qualified to inherit the throne of Annan Kingdom. So this time, you can rest easy if your Majesty's military achievements are established."

After hearing this, Hu Pingzhi was very happy, and he immediately promised to say.

"Sure enough, as you said, if I really inherit the throne in the country, then I will make you the prime minister, and you will be hereditary."

Li Dahong is a man who sees the wind and turns the rudder, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hu Pingzhi.

"His Royal Highness, long live, long live, long live, I thank you, Your Royal Highness."
