" Aquamarine said, "Yes." He ordered the army to live in the cave and arrive at the south side of the fishing village by night without fireworks.
The enemy camp is still more than 80 miles northeast of the sea. Aquamarine appointed Wang Bi as the vanguard and led the cavalry to quickly approach the enemy camp. The enemy thought that the Ming army lacked aquatic plants, could not go deep and was unprepared. In addition, the wind raises dust and can't see anything during the day. Therefore, the actions of the Ming army were not noticed by the Yuan army. Wang Bi suddenly led an army to the enemy camp.

After returning from the Western Expedition, Hailan was named Prince Taifu. Aquamarine didn't want to be worse than Song Heying and said, "Can't I be a teacher?" After that, Zhu Yuanzhang mostly didn't take his advice, and Aquamarine became more and more unhappy.
