Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Zhu Yunwen, who was standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, say in a clear voice, "Royal Grandfather, your grandson is willing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally overjoyed when he saw his grandson requesting orders, but no matter what, Zhu Yunwen was still young and had no experience in leading soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang would never be at ease when he saw Zhu Yunwen alone as he smiled and said, "Yunwen, since you are willing to help me, I'm very happy. However, you are still young and have no battle experience, so I'm afraid that you are not Yuan Chenyuan's opponent.

Before he could finish, Xu Yun from the martial arts class came out respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject is willing to go. Yesterday, this humble subject was at a disadvantage in capturing him.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Xu Aiguo is the son of the famous General Xu Da, if General Xu is willing to go to war, I will have no worries. Good, I now order Xu Yun to be the great general, Zhu Yunwen will be in command, and a hundred thousand elite soldiers will be sent to Zhejiang to annihilate the rebel Yuan Chengzong. We will leave in ten days."

After Xu Yun and Zhu Yunwen heard this, they both said in unison, "Your grandson/humble subject obeys the decree!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Jie Jin stepped forward from the class and announced in a loud voice: "Reporting to my lord, this subject has something to begin!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "What's the matter with interpreting a beloved official?"

Jie Jin said, "This subject believes that the An clan of the Wanmei Manor has just been brought over by my great decree. Why don't we follow the plan and make that An clan become the vanguard to attack Yuan Chenyuan first?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head and said, "The words of my beloved official are very similar to my intentions. My beloved official, you go and summon me to order that the An clan should be made a vanguard officer of the bandit army and that the Jin should be taken as the overseer. I order the troops under the command of An clan to immediately set out to eliminate the bandits without any mistake!"

Jie Jin said: "This subject obeys the decree!"

After saying this, Jie Jin took the imperial edict and left. He rushed to Jizhou on a fast horse.

In less than five days, the troops of the 4th Battalion had already gathered in Jizhou. At this moment, An Jiajia sat in the main hall of the Thousand Plum Villa and said to everyone, "Now that the imperial court has ordered the Mansion of Wanmei Manor to be safe, the imperial edict will arrive soon. My army is ready to set off and attack Yuan Chenyuan at any time!"

After everyone heard this, they replied in unison, "Yes, Fourth Manor Lord!"

The An clan continued, "Ya'er, you are in charge of food and equipment for the army. The food should be sufficient for the army for at least three months."

"Please be at ease, Fourth Uncle. Everything has been prepared for the army for half a year, and all the food has been safely stored in the vicinity of Suzhou. Five hundred tiger cannons have been built, and a total of one thousand men from the artillery have been handed over to Commander Ye Xin."

The more the An family listened, the more they nodded. "That's for the best!"

Just as he was speaking, he heard someone call out loudly from outside the door, "The imperial edict has arrived! The soldiers of Ji Prefecture, An Family, continued to receive their orders! "

As he walked in with the imperial edict in his hand, An Jiajia hurriedly came out of his seat and knelt down in front of Jie Jin. He shouted, "I, An's family, accept the imperial edict!"

Jie Jin opened the imperial edict and said in a clear voice, "With the blessing of the heavens, the Emperor decrees that the leader of the Jiangnan bandits, Yuan Chengzong, has been plotting against us for a long time. Today, we have bestowed upon the army commander of Ji Prefecture, An Yue, the one who oversaw the bandit army and immediately led his troops to Zhejiang Province to exterminate the rebels."

The more the An family heard, the louder they shouted, "I, the more I will accept the decree!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to receive the imperial edict from Jie Jin. Everyone stood up and smiled, "General An, His Majesty has ordered for you to immediately send out your troops. I wonder if we can go now?"

The An clan smiled and replied, "Of course, we can set off at any time."

Jie Jin smiled and said, "It's good over there. I wonder how many troops the general has?"

The An family continued, "Our Thousand Plum Villa has thirty thousand men. Ji Prefecture has thirty thousand soldiers. We originally wanted to leave ten thousand people behind in the first Ji Prefecture. We will lead fifty thousand men to rob the bandits!"

Top Scorer smiled and said, "That's for the best."

With that, the An clan member returned to his seat and picked up the order arrow, "An Luxiang, Meng Jian, I order the two of you to lead ten thousand light cavalry troops to Guangde, there must be no mistakes!"

The two answered in unison, "Yes!" An Luxiang and Meng Jian ordered their arrows to be released. The An clan member then spoke out, "An Wuyou and Wen Lu'er, I've ordered you two to stay in Jizhou City and protect it against bandits!"

The two answered in unison, "Yes!"

An Jiajia continued, "The rest of you will lead your men to the front of the army to eliminate the traitors!"

Everyone said in unison, "Yes!" With the order given, everyone left the Thousand Plum Villa. Leading all the troops, they rushed towards Guang De to fight against Yuan Cheng Sect.

The three imperial guards and the heads of the seven provinces were all gathered together, waiting for Yuan Chenzong's speech. Yuan Chenzong, wearing a military uniform with a sword hanging at his waist, looked down at the crowd, and after pondering for a while, he heard Yuan Chenzong loudly shout: "Zhu Yu, Zhu Di, Zhu Quan and the others impeach Zhu Yuanzhong and let him order the annihilation of my clan. Unfortunately, this old man didn't run as fast as the emperor, and this old man has already committed nine crimes.

Before he could finish his words, Murong Chengyu and his men shouted in unison, "We are willing to listen to the orders of our chief!"

After Yuan Chengzong heard this, he shouted loudly, "Good! "Since that's the case, this old man shall give the order to slaughter Tu Xian and Xue Hongye!"

Tu Xian answered first: "Disciple is here!"

Yuan Chengzong said, "Have five hundred warriors from outside Hangzhou turn into civilians and enter the city to prepare for the raid on Hangzhou."

After the two of them heard this, they shouted in unison, "Disciple obeys!"

Yuan Chengzong continued, "Jiang Zhen, Yang Zongwan, Liu Yingying!"

Before he finished his sentence, two young men around the age of thirty and a young woman in their early twenties, dressed in military uniforms, stepped out from the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Disciple is here!"

Yuan Chengzong shouted, "This old man ordered the three of you to lead 10,000 troops to attack the three places of Hengzhou, Jinhua, and Huzhou. Remember, you have to take over these three places as soon as possible before the news of this old man's attack spreads!"

The three of them said in unison, "Yes, disciple!"

Then, Yuan Chengzong said, "Murong Chengyu."

Murong Yunyu said, "Disciple is here!"

Yuan Chengzong said, "This old man orders you to lead the rest of the people and wait outside the city at all times. After you take down the Hangzhou Prefecture, bring Tu Xian and Xue Hongye to protect Hangzhou immediately. You are not allowed to release a single soldier, lest they spread the news and affect Jiang Zhen and the others to attack the city!"

Murong Yunyu said, "Disciple understands!"

At the end, Yuan Chengzong said loudly, "We still have some breathing room after this battle. We will definitely be able to find a way to win this war in the future. If we fail, we will die without a burial place, so you are not allowed to lose this battle!"

When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "Disciple understands!"
