.In just a moment, I quickly suppressed the murderous intent in my heart. I even felt a little shocked that I would have such thoughts. Unexpectedly, I became a person who regarded other people's lives as if they were ants and could kill them at will.

However, this shock could not change anything. I quickly calmed down and looked at Liu Mengjuan beside me. When I felt a little moved, I immediately thought of a better idea and said to Liu Mengjuan: "Miss Liu, although there is a saying that women in my court cannot be an official, I just heard the lady's conversation before and knew that the lady was an extraordinary person. If the girl was willing, I would also treat the lady with a courtesy."

Liu Mengjuan seemed to have never thought that I would say this. She was stunned when she heard this, then thought for a moment and looked at Zhu Zhu again, with a sense of inquiry in her eyes.

My drunkard's intention was not in wine, probably Zhu Zhu also saw it. He frowned, for his extraordinary wit, I am afraid that he would not think of a way to deal with it at this moment.

I smiled slightly and said, "If I had to promise Brother Zhu to be tough, I'm afraid I would be difficult for a while. But I really didn't want to miss someone like Brother Zhu who has great talent and wisdom, so I had to get in touch with the lady."

I said frankly that Liu Mengjuan probably trusted me a lot after hearing this, so after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will serve Your Highness in the future."

"Mengjuan, you..." Zhu Zhu seemed a little anxious. He frowned and immediately wanted to make a sound to block.

In fact, I have already seen that the relationship between Zhu Zhu and Liu Mengjuan is really more common. The reason why I want Liu Mengjuan to stay is that I understand that Zhu Zhu will not be separated from Liu Mengjuan, so I can use this to move Zhu Zhu to become my aide. Second, I thought in my heart that instead of killing Zhu Zhu, it is better to take this opportunity to "remind" Zhu Zhu and use Liu Mengjuan to threaten him to serve me. This may be hundreds of times better than killing him.

Although my second thought was not shown at all. I think Zhu Zhu might not be able to guess my intention. On the contrary, Liu Mengjuan probably wouldn't have imagined that this person's heart would be sinister, otherwise she would not have agreed to me so easily. After frowning and looking at me a few times, she finally spoke: "Since your highness wants me to do things for you so much, I won't give it more advice, but before that, I'll ask Your Highness to agree to me."

"Oh, I don't know what's going on?" When I saw Zhu Zhu agreeing to serve him, a hint of joy rose in my heart, and I asked with a smile.

"I would like to ask Your Highness to make an oath. If I plan a major event for Your Highness in the future, if Your Highness cannot use my words, please let us leave. I wonder if Your Highness can agree?" Zhu Zhu seemed very determined when he spoke, his eyes flashed with wisdom. After pausing, he said: "I promise Your Highness that even if he really leaves Your Highness one day, he will never plan for the second person in his life."

I looked at Zhu Zhu silently. He deliberately said the "let's leave" very slowly, just to tell me that I hope I can let them live in the future. After thinking about it, I said, "This world is hard to say. I can't guarantee that everything will fulfill Brother Zhu's wishes in the future. How can I swear?"

Zhu Zhu shook his head and said, "Your Highness has great ambitions. If you cannot act according to my words, you will inevitably end up in failure and death. In this way, instead of waiting for a mediocre reputation in the future, I would rather retire to the mountains and forests earlier!" He sighed lightly and said, "All ministers want to start and end well with the lord. However, if your Highness cannot use my words, even if you are killed by your Highness, I will not do anything for your Highness again."

Zhu Zhu said very clearly and was full of confidence. It seemed that as long as I could get his assistance, most of the world would fall into my hands. I pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since Brother Zhu said that, I will agree to your request." After that, I looked at the fat man in front of me for a while, then raised my hands together, and then fought hard three times, which was a sworn to the high five.

After leaving the tavern, I and a group of guards took Zhu Zhu and the others back to the military camp. Zhu Zhu looked at the appearance of the military camp along the way. Although there was no word of praise, he could see that his eyes were still full of praise.

I arranged for someone to take Liu Mengjuan down and settle down, and then came to Zhu Zhu's tent and sat down again. I was not polite at the moment and said directly: "I heard Brother Zhu's high opinion in the tavern before, but when I came back, I thought about it for a long time, and no matter what, I couldn't do anything to burn out all the food in Huguang. I wonder if Brother Zhu has any other way to reverse the current situation in one fell swoop?"

Although the situation is becoming more and more beneficial to my father and I, after all, the father's land is still besieged by more than 500,000 troops of the king's army day and night. If you are not careful, the situation of the battle will be immediately rewritten. Therefore, the first thing I want to ask Zhu Zhu in my heart is to turn the situation around.

Zhu Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I haven't spoken yet, Your Highness asked first. It seems that I'm afraid that Your Highness will not be able to rely on me for the first time." After a slight pause, he continued: "Your Highness, King Yan, has been managing Yanjing for many years, and it should be able to last for a while. Your Highness doesn't need to worry about him yet. However, your Highness has 100,000 imperial troops coming day and night, and Your Highness has to deal with it well, so that he can truly shock the world and achieve miraculous results."

I didn't care much about the 100,000 troops that came, because I didn't think about fighting with them since the beginning. So I smiled and asked, "Why don't Brother Zhu have any tricks to teach me?"

Zhu Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Since your highness is kind and unwilling to burn all the food and grass from both sides of Huguang according to my words, the situation of the war will inevitably continue for a while. However, the 100,000 troops of the court do not think it is worrying. As long as your highness keeps in mind the words "The enemy will be chasing you, and the enemy will be tempted to retreat," it will take less than half a month. The 100,000 sent by the court will be defeated without a fight."

What Zhu Zhu said was actually what I had already thought of a solution to deal with, so he discussed some specific methods of responding to the enemy with him, and he could speak very well. As the saying goes, one person is short-sighted, and two are the best. Even if Zhu Zhu is not as talented as me, it is of great help to me to find someone who is comparable to me to discuss government affairs and military affairs. What's more, Zhu Zhu is even better than me in many things, so I am really secretly happy to be able to find a talent like him to plan for me.

In just two days, the scouts in our army brought back news that the 100,000 people in the court finally entered Anhui and were chasing Songping. Their leading general was Geng Bingwen who had been defeated by my father before and then retreated to the realm. Speaking of Geng Bingwen, he was actually an experienced veteran general. It was just because his opponent was my father before that, he finally lost. Now he was sent by the court to "Ningshuo..." to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. This time, his 100,000 army of more than 30,000 people in our country would think that this was a battle of steady salvation. According to the retribution of my spy in the capital, when Zhu Changwen decided to choose the candidate for the army, there were really many generals fighting to fight, wanting to get this "beautiful miss," but Zhu Changwen finally gave the "errand" to Geng Bingwen with some vision.

It is precisely because of the experienced master that Geng Bingwen can be regarded as a difficult opponent. At least his caution has made me deeply concerned. Before Geng Bingwen's 100,000 troops approached, I led the troops into Hubei overnight and came to Luotian area.

Geng Bingwen's 100,000 people came from Yanjing all the way, and they were already exhausted. Therefore, when he heard that I had entered Hubei, Geng Bingwen immediately occupied my "old nest" Zhuping and took a break.

I didn't plan to attack or something, because with the temperament of an old guy like Geng Bingwen, I wouldn't give me any chance to take advantage of it. Maybe he was looking forward to me to go to the trap at this time, so I was happy to have a night off early and wait until tomorrow to play this "hide and seek" game with him.

Of course, although I leisurely let the soldiers have a good rest after eating, I also sent a powerful scout and spy to pay attention to Geng Bingwen's every move. According to the people I sent, Geng Bingwen's men immediately went to the people's homes to search for food, which caused grievances in Zhuping Town. It seemed that their military rations were really limited.

Zhu Zhu and I were naturally very happy when we heard this news. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. Since Geng Bingwen's 100,000 people have insufficient food and grass, the morale of the army will naturally not be stable. No matter how cautious Geng Bingwen is, he will inevitably be anxious to face me quickly, in order to make a contribution in one fell swoop. In this way, I can even more courageously thrust with him. The longer the time is, the more beneficial it will be to me. This is like two fighting animals. As long as anyone reveals their flaws first, they will be bitten to death by the other party.

One day later, Geng Bingwen asked his soldiers to rest for a night, and then called it "borrowing" the food of the people in the town. Then he quickly left Anhui and followed him into Hubei. His marching speed was very fast.

The enemy is faster, and I am faster. After all, my number is much smaller. I took the army back thousands of miles away from Luotian to Ezhou, and then continued to station and wait for Geng Bingwen to chase him.
