Chapter 63 Defeat the enemy (2)

. "Then I don't know what to do?"

Zhu Zhu smiled and said, "In fact, it is simple to do things. First, let the prefect of Jingzhou trapped in the city bring a secret letter written by His Highness to Geng Bingwen, persuade him to surrender, and then let someone abduct Geng Bingwen's family in the capital. In this way, no matter whether Geng Bingwen really wants to surrender to His Highness, the court will also become suspicious of him." After a pause, Zhu Zhu said, "Since ancient times, the most jealous thing for generals to be ordered outside is the suspicion of the emperor. Such superiors must control their subordinates. You must know that the most important thing in marching and fighting is to get what they want and act according to the situation. Geng Bingwen could not take any advantage, and he was worried about making a living in food and grass. If he was embarrassed by the court again, the situation would be difficult to maintain. Hey, at that time, as long as your highness holds Geng Bingwen's family in his hands, if Geng Bingwen was not in the ancient Bid, he would definitely surrender."

After hearing Zhu Zhu's words, I immediately applauded, and at the same time I admired Zhu Zhu's carefulness. After this contact, I found that Zhu Zhu was not very smart enough, but he was very capable of grasping people's hearts. The military strategy said: "Attacking the heart is the best." Perhaps Zhu Zhu got the three flavors of it. Thinking about it, it was true. As long as he could grasp the opponent's mind, what kind of military strategy was actually needed. The enemy's every move was in his own calculations, and the victory or defeat was obvious.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly glad that Zhu Zhu had become my aide. Otherwise, if others could get him, I would have had another terrible enemy. At the same time, I thought of my master. What Master taught me in the past was the technique of power and strategy to judge the situation. Compared with Zhu Zhu, it was completely different. Which of the two was higher and lower, which really made it difficult for me to make a judgment for a while. But the only thing I know is that as long as Zhu Zhu and Master were standing by my side, why should I worry about the big thing?

"Will Master stand on my side? Father is facing him..." My thoughts were just slightly moved. I was secretly surprised. Because I had already put myself in a position of opposition to my father, and the "big thing" I thought about in my heart was really a rebellious - "Can I beg my ambitions that have been hidden deep in my heart, and I am really so huge?"

I don’t know how long I sat there in the same place and thought. When I came to my senses, I saw Zhu Zhu quietly looking at me. His eyes contained a hint of surprise and curiosity. Perhaps when I was thinking about it before, the expression on my face changed a little, so he felt confused. This might be the first time that I made him unable to grasp my thoughts!

I smiled at Zhu Zhu and said, "If Geng Bingwen is willing to surrender, it would be a good thing, but afterwards, he was afraid that we would not be able to support his 100,000 people."

Zhu Zhu showed a sudden look, or thought that what I had thought about before was this matter, and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry. At that time, you only need to distribute five stanchions of money to these surrendered soldiers and disperse them home."

I secretly calculated that according to the military pay of my Great Wu, each soldier is only fifty cents per month. The five-spin coins mentioned by Zhu Zhu is equal to five hundred cents, and ten-spin coins is one tael of silver, and then ten-spin coins will only cost 50,000 taels of silver. It is really a big deal. Looking back at the situation in front of me, I couldn't help but frown and said with some concern: "Then there are only twenty thousand taels of silver in the treasury of Jingzhou Prefecture. Brother Zhu has to send so much silver. Although it can convince the surrendered soldiers, where should I raise the money for a while?"

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. The money is actually very easy to deal with!" When he said that, Zhu Zhu's bad smile made me suddenly jump. I wonder what kind of solution he had come up with ink wetlands.

Zhu Zhu probably felt my questioning look and explained: "Your Highness think about it, although we don't have that much money, Jingzhou is a big city. How could the gentry and merchants in the city not have it?"

"What?" Although I was prepared, I was still shocked by Zhu Zhudi's "method" and stood up. "Could it be that Brother Zhu wants to----" At this time, I really couldn't say the word "rob". After all, I, who has always had the dignity of a royal noble, could not do anything to steal the people.

Zhu Zhu nodded without reason and continued, "Your Highness guessed well. I meant to ask those merchants to 'prepare' this money."

"Preparation?" I felt a little amused and crying, and it was a pity that he could say such words. However, I also knew that Jingzhou was leaning against the waterway of the Yangtze River, and the merchants in the city were very rich, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver were probably enough to make up, so I just went with the flow: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter to Brother Zhu. I hope Brother Zhu is more cautious and don't cause any trouble to damage our army's reputation."

I handed such a pompous job to Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu seemed to care nothing at all. After a sudden agreement, he went out to do things.

Since I have been leading troops for a long time these days, I have become more and more aware of the tricks. Every day or two I will go to the barracks to walk around, because I found that the soldiers would have a great sense of closeness to me and their morale would be higher. After arranging the prefect of Jingzhou to leave the city to deliver letters to me, I brought a few guards to the barracks to visit the soldiers who had been injured these days.

After walking through several camps at the east gate and heading towards the south gate, I suddenly heard a loud voice coming from not far away. I turned around and saw several soldiers twisting a soldier and cursing the soldier loudly, not knowing what was the reason for.

"What's this? Go and call the person and see what's going on." I called the commander of the battalion who was with me and said to him.

The commander responded and called the soldiers to my side. When the soldiers saw me, they immediately did not dare to scold me anymore, but they still worked together to twist the soldier and did not let go. They seemed to be afraid that once they let go, the soldier would start to go wild again.

I looked at them and saw that they were all dressed a little disheveled. It was obvious that they had had a fight before, so I frowned and asked, "What's going on? Didn't Gu have already issued a clear order that all fights are prohibited in the military camp?"

The soldiers were already silent in front of me. At this time, when I heard my words with some blame, I immediately let go of the twisted soldier and knelt down together. One of the soldiers pointed to the soldier who had been twisted and said, "Prince, we did not fight, we just hit people first, we will subdue him."

"Oh?" I looked at the soldier's expression, obviously not like he was false, so I turned my head and said to the soldier named Cableway Cun: "Is what he said true?"

The cable cun raised his head, glared at the spoken soldier with indignation in his eyes, and then seemed to want to argue something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he pondered for a moment before finally nodding and said, "Yes, I did it first."

I was still going to hear his argument, but I didn't expect that he would admit it so easily, which surprised me. I looked at him and saw that he was tall and strong, with a clear outline on his face, which looked beautiful, but because there were traces of being beaten and a layer of dust on his face, he looked down and down.

"Okay, let me tell you what's going on?" I looked at the soldiers next to me again, and saw that they had a look of surprise in their eyes. I didn't expect that the cable car did not explain, so I asked.

When Sui Daocun heard this, he ejaculated again and pointed at the soldiers and said, "He... they insulted my parents, I... I... I... don't allow others to scold them."

"Oh?" I turned my eyes and looked at the soldiers, just waiting for them to tell me what was going on.

The soldier who spoke before kowtowed to me and said, "His father is a man from Meng, and his mother is a man from Han. When we talk about the man from Meng, we couldn't help but ridicule him, but he couldn't tell us that we could hit people first."

At this time, I understood what happened. You should know that when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, they did a lot of outrageous things. The Han people still hated the Mongols very much today. Otherwise, they would not have received so many people's responses and support from the people once the rebels rose up back then. In just a few years, they drove the Mongols, who were still extremely powerful, to the north of the river. Therefore, it seems that these soldiers also talked about the Mongols' atrocities while chatting, and then started to curse. They didn't expect to encounter a life experience like the ropeway, and finally caused a fight.

Although the matter is understandable, after all, it involves the majesty of the military barracks regulations. The so-called orders are prohibited. I cannot make the soldiers feel that they can not comply with the military law because of this "explainable". After thinking about it, I asked again: "The cable car is there, what he said is true?"

After thinking about it, Sui Daocun said, "They were pretty good. They insulted my parents, and I beat them first." As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers in anger again. Under his eyes, those who all lowered their heads. Perhaps they knew that they were a little inappropriate and did not dare to look at Sui Daocun.

I frowned and said, "The cable car has survived. Since you have admitted to breaking the military rules, then according to the solitary order, this is a death sentence. Do you admit it?"
