Chapter 18: Protégé

What does it mean to be the destiny of heaven? It is actually like the so-called film and television works in later generations. It is purely a fool. If there is any similarity, it must be a coincidence. In the Northern Army, although the King of Yan has been fooling everyone and telling everyone the belief of winning, the right time, place, people and people are in the court. In the eyes of the King of Yan, he himself does not believe in the word "destiny of victory".

But now, this guy named Hao Fenglou believes it.

Hao Fenglou said straightforwardly: "First: King Yan is in Beiping, and his soldiers are all tigers and wolves, and they are unstoppable. The imperial army has been slack for a long time, even if it is ten times more powerful than the Northern Army, it is not worthy of fighting."

Zhu Dihe nodded and said in his heart that this person is still a little knowledgeable.

Hao Fenglou said: "Second: Your Highness has always been ambitious, and is a kind person, and respects the wise and the inferior. But today, when his son favors corrupt scholars, most of the courts are pedantic scholars who only know how to shake their heads. Such people are not worth worrying."

Zhu Di glanced at Hao Fenglou with appreciation, and realized that it made sense. He looked down on the ministers in the court very much.

Hao Fenglou continued: "Besides, the emperor seems to have won the hearts of the people, but the emperor cut off the vassals and violated the golden rules set by Emperor Taizu under the instigation of villains, causing the family members of the world to be insecure and lost all their hearts. Your Highness raises up a war to calm down and win the hearts of the royal family and the people will surely win."

When he said this, Zhu Di looked at the monk beside him in horror, and a trace of suspicion flashed through the monk's eyes.

Because these words were originally the first counselor around Zhu Di, the monk Yao Guangxiao in front of him persuaded Zhu Di to suffer the crisis. In order to increase Zhu Di's confidence, Yao Guangxiao analyzed his strengths and weaknesses in a simplified way and finally came to the conclusion that he would win.

But now, the guy Hao Fenglou actually said the same thing as Yao Guangxiao. How could they know that Hao Fenglou's analysis was based on the conclusion drawn afterwards. In the eyes of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, it is rare for an ordinary young man from the Jiangnan family to have such vision and logical analysis ability.

Zhu Di couldn't speak for a moment, and Hao Fenglou's performance was really a bit weird.

Yao Guangxiao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's right."

Hao Fenglou said modestly: "Where, where, this is just a superficial understanding of the students."

Yao Guangxiao vomited blood. Your superficial understanding coincides with my monk. I mean, I only have the level of superficial understanding of me?

Fortunately, Yao Guangxiao never had the intention of fame and fortune, but instead said with a smile: "Then I will take the exam to take the school again. Now that the Yan army crosses the river, Nanjing is now at the moment. However, Nanjing has 100,000 troops stationed in Nanjing, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. What should we do if we want to seize Nanjing?"

Zhu Di also cheered up and wanted to hear how Hao Fenglou answered.

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "So Nanjing cannot attack."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Can't attack?"

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "If the King of Yan's army and horses fail to defeat them for a long time, their morale will definitely be sluggish. When the student heard that the emperor had sent ministers to recruit soldiers from all over the place to Beijing to serve the king. If the King of Yan's army fails to defeat them for a long time, their morale will be sluggish, and all the troops to serve the king arrive one after another, what should the King of Yan do?"

Zhu Di took a deep breath and looked at Yao Guangxiao.

Just now, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao had formulated a strategy to seize Nanjing, and both of them believed that it was not appropriate to use force against Nanjing City. The reason was the same as what Hao Fenglou said. Once the stalemate continued, the Yan army would be defeated.

The problem is that the King of Yan fought more wars than he ate in his life, so it was natural to have this vision. Yao Guangxiao learned the art of being a wise man for the rest of his life and was the first counselor under the King of Yan. It is also necessary to have such insights.

But Hao Fenglou is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and is still a little worse in his twentieth year. How could he have such insight?

Yao Guangxiao didn't have much grace at this time and couldn't help but say, "Since you can't attack, how should you seize it?"

Hao Fenglou felt that this pair of guys was really shameless and wanted to take out all his trump cards in just a few words.

Seeing that he was suspicious, Yao Guangxiao thought he had no choice but to do anything, so he smiled and said, "If you have a good plan, I would like to accept you as your disciple."

Yao Guangxiao did love talent because this young man was so smart that he felt very much like his young self.

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "What are the benefits of being your apprentice?"

When he blurted out, Hao Fenglou's nature was revealed. Hao Fenglou felt that he regretted it and was so naughty. At this critical moment, why did he ask such words?

Zhu Di smiled, slapped his thigh, and said, "He is the good teacher and friend of the Gu Wang. If you become his disciple, the Gu Wang will treat you like a son and a nephew!"

This sentence was obviously not said to Hao Fenglou, but to Yao Guangxiao. Not to mention whether this sentence is true or false, but Zhu Di's words immediately made Yao Guangxiao blush. What is this? This is the feeling of the leader's attention. The leader's attention is not based on a few words of heart-to-heart, but his inadvertent praise of himself.

But in Hao Fenglou's opinion, Zhu Di is indeed a bit different from his butcher's appearance. Zhu Di is very good at winning people's hearts. One sentence can make an old fox like Yao Guangxiao devote himself to him.

"Okay, it's a matter of determination." Hao Fenglou simply let go and pondered: "But I have to think about it first."

Zhu Di seemed generous: "Everyone listens to the emperor."

The water in the copper basin was already a little cold. Zhu Di ordered people to remove the water. Everyone sent their boots back. Hao Fenglou tried hard to recall the past of Jingnan. After finding the result of Jingnan, he began to think about how to improve the result.

It's like there's a difficult problem, you already know the answer, but just knowing the answer is not enough, you have to come up with the process of solving the problem.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao asked someone to come to tea, holding the tea cup and blowing the tea foam, but sometimes they looked at each other. They obviously didn't believe that Hao Fenglou could come up with the best strategy. The reason why they asked was that they had the intention of taking the school exam and see how much the young man could reach.

After a stick of incense, Hao Fenglou suddenly rose up and said, "Your Highness should keep his troops alive."

Zhu Di said lightly: "Why?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Because you want to break Nanjing, it is not about who is stronger or weak, but about your psychology. His Highness, the King of Yan, led his army southward, and the power of the road was unstoppable, which has already made the people of Nanjing panic. Now that the troops are at the city, the city will be in chaos. If you attack the city at this time, once you fall into a hard battle, it will make the civil and military officials in the city share the same hatred for the enemy. If the Yan army is exhausted, if you can't hold it for a long time, it will be bad. But if you stop moving, you will see the Yan army coming in the city and don't know the depth of the Yan army, you will be anxious."

To put it bluntly, this is deterrence. Putting a knife on the necks of the monarchs and ministers in Nanjing City, although the King of Yan knew that the Yan army had fought thousands of miles and was at the end of its strength, as long as the Yan army was placed here, it would be enough to scare others.

Zhu Dihe nodded and said, "Did you just hold your troops still?"

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Of course not. The Yan army did not move, and the people in the city were panicked. At this time, the macaques fell down in the tree. It was the opportunity for His Highness to take advantage of the opportunity. The Yan King could order the spies to sneak into the city and bribe the civil and military officials in the city, and cooperate with the inside and outside."

Zhu Di was stunned.

This time he was really shocked. He was in harmony with the inside and outside, which was originally the arrangement of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao. In fact, after taking over Zhenjiang, they had already agreed on this plan, but they never thought that Hao Fenglou had thought of it too.
