Bright Spring

Although Chen Wu criticized Zhu Gaoxu behind his back, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to care about it anymore... He didn't have any real enmity, and he just crawled out of the dead together, so he looked away from everything!Zhu Gaoxu felt that after he established his prestige in the army, Chen Wu should be convinced.

After hearing this, King Yan said: "Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded and promoted by our Chinese army. Just let them wait for the news."

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said, "I obey."

King Yan asked the generals again, what is the best way to attack Zhending?Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, etc. proposed some methods, but the King of Yan was noncommittal... Now that the officials and troops are guarding the city, and the Yan army has no siege equipment, it is impossible to talk about attacking the city. Who can plan any siege strategy? Policy?

What's more, the current number of troops in the Yan army is still not as large as the official army in Zhending City. Even if they have siege weapons, how can they attack the city with this comparison of forces?

Everyone discussed in the big tent of the Chinese army for a while, and they were exhausted, so the King of Yan waved his hand and told the generals to go back to the camp, but he looked at Zhu Gaoxu: "Gaoxu, you walk with me nearby."

Chapter 46 Two Cows

In the northern autumn night, the feeling of coolness invading the body is already very obvious.

The firewood in the campfire made a few "crackling" sounds from time to time.Occasionally, a small group of soldiers walked by from a distance.The night is getting darker, the surroundings are not noisy, but it is not as quiet as the countryside at night. The large fires give the plain an illusion of prosperity.

King Yan stretched out his hand to tug on the cloak, and walked in front slowly, without saying a word.Zhu Gaoxu, who followed slightly behind, was also silent.The father and son had a tacit understanding and walked quietly.

Without any intense expression, Yan Wang's mood is very stable, but there should be many complicated things intertwined together.He hasn't spoken for so long, he must be thinking about something, thinking about something.

Zhu Gaoxu speculated about his father's thoughts, some of which he could guess, and some of which he couldn't.

For example, King Yan was worried about the future of the war. This must be there. Since the formation of the army, the disadvantages have never changed.Based on Zhu Gaoxu's personal experiences during this period and his understanding of King Yan Zhu Di, he even believed that if Emperor Jianwen didn't force him so urgently, King Yan might not dare to rebel.

Zhu Gaoxu also thought of some things, such as the prince accusing him of poisoning.

He felt that as long as this matter did not really poison the prince to death, King Yan would not pursue it, especially at such a time.

With King Yan's sophisticated mind, he would even believe that Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have the idea of ​​poisoning the prince, otherwise it would be superfluous to detoxify the prince; let alone let the two brothers go first when the prince was about to give up at a critical moment on the road .

King Yan must have understood this, otherwise he would not be King Yan!

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: The place that can cause the most substantial consequences is the King Yan's opinion of himself.King Yan certainly would not have judged that "the second son has strong muscles and a simple mind, and is very kind and unintentional".

But what can be done?Zhu Gaoxu was not that kind of honest and honest person, can he be that kind of person?

Living alone in the world, one can act continuously for one or two days, but it is really difficult to act for one month or two months, and it is almost impossible to act for one year, two years, or ten years!What's more, if Zhu Gaoxu wants to make up his mind to act, he can't just act in front of King Yan, he has to act anytime, anywhere, twelve hours a day!Otherwise, with such a close relationship and so many people watching, there will always be mistakes in the ears of King Yan.

Rather than drawing a tiger to be an anti-dog and making King Yan even more suspicious of Zhu Gaoxu's purpose and intentions in acting, it is better not to act!

At this moment, King Yan suddenly stood still, looking up at the stars in the sky.Zhu Gaoxu also stood there, followed by a look up, wondering what can be learned from looking at the stars?

King Yan turned his head and said, "Your Majesty is not in good health and sick, Gao Xu is trying his best."

Zhu Gaoxu felt nervous when he heard this.

King Yan glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Xu followed me to fight, and you will fight to the death under the siege, you are the most loyal."

Zhu Gaoxu thought: Isn't this an obvious situation? If I can surrender, why do I have to die?

But he quickly understood what King Yan meant: Compared with the prince, I trust you more... Now that the father and son are tied to the same boat, and Zhu Gaoxu has killed so many officers and soldiers, objectively he is more loyal to King Yan , at least during the Jingnan period.

It is more believable because it is a fact!If the person who spoke was not King Yan, Zhu Gaoxu would have believed it, and would have been full of illusions about a bright future, right?

... But what about after the Jingnan battle?Perhaps Yan Wang's thinking is that the victory or defeat is uncertain, and the risk is still high. It is meaningless to think about things so far away and out of bounds.It's just that Zhu Gaoxu doesn't think so... His understanding of the Jingnan Battle is different from everyone else at this time!

"It's a matter of course that sons and ministers are loyal to their father." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly answered first, so as not to think for too long, and make King Yan feel that he was playing tricks again.

"Hmm..." King Yan snorted casually, and the ending sound was relatively long, which seemed to be a sign of approval, but did it seem to have any deep meaning?

The father and son walked together just now, and they were silent for a long time. I don't know what King Yan was thinking; anyway, Zhu Gaoxu also thought a lot, and now that the father and son have spoken, he has also thought about a lot of things.

Zhu Gaoxu then said: "My son is the king of the county. He is pampered and well-clothed. He is favored by the father and the emperor. How can he be unfaithful? What's more, the son's body, skin and hair, received from his parents, and even more so from his father's upbringing. in the heart."

Seeing that there were no outsiders, he said sincerely again, "With the presence of the father, there are sons and ministers. The father's martial arts and martial arts will surely be able to calm down the difficulties. At that time, the king will rule the world, and the eldest son will be the crown prince, and the Ming Dynasty will be more stable." The country and the country. The country is stable, and only the wealth and honor of the sons and ministers can be stable; otherwise, how will the hair be attached?

The minister is the grandson of Taizu and the son of King Yan. He only wants to have the glory and wealth that we deserve, and he doesn't want to have any extravagant thoughts.In order to keep everything that the father and son-in-law have, the son-in-law will do his best to assist the father! "

Zhu Gaoxu's refusal of King Yan's implied "promise" was not a sudden headache. He weighed it for a long time... What kind of promise, only ghosts believe it!When conquering the country, many kings will "divide the world equally" with others at every turn!China has such a long history, have you ever seen the emperor take the initiative to send half of the country?

Instead of showing an ambitious look for a picture cake, it is better to retreat and not be that early bird.

At this time, King Yan's "promise" has no meaning, because the country is not his yet!If this kind of promise can be taken seriously after Zhu Di really becomes the emperor...

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered a story that a reporter asked an old farmer if he would donate one if he had two houses. Two cows!

"Hmm..." King Yan hummed again with the same tone and rhythm.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that the King of Yan would not believe it right away, but Zhu Gaoxu was going to persevere and repeat it many times with sincerity. It should play a certain role if the number of times is too many... The trick of spreading|selling|selling|brainwashing, and One of the advertising strategies is repeating and repeating. One of his advertisements can be repeated five times at a time, and read to the depths of your subconscious mind!

King Yan turned his head and suddenly showed a smile, "Gao Xu is brave and resourceful, really he doesn't care about power?"

Zhu Gaoxu cupped his fists and said: "Father, my son only loves good horses, beauties, and wealth. Power and position are really boring, tiring and boring. My son loves riding horses and archery. I feel that there is nowhere to release the strength in my body. Do those things?" Things are comfortable, and you can get compliments from your parents and beauties, and you can protect yourself from being taken advantage of by villains, so why not do it?"

"Ha!" King Yan raised his hand and pointed at him.

Zhu Gaoxu remembered what he said just now, even if it is not for power, he must work hard to help.Immediately said: "Before discussing matters in the big tent, my father asked about the strategy to win the truth..."

"Gao Xu has a good strategy?" King Yan immediately looked at his face.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered and said: "Zhending City has no less than [-] officers and soldiers, as well as Sheng Yong, Pingan and other generals. It seems that their performance during the day is not idle. Our military strength is not as good as the officers and soldiers. If we want to attack the city by force, it is almost impossible. possible."

"Hmm..." King Yan snorted again, with a subtle difference in his tone.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "If you want to win Zhending, you can only seek it. I heard that Wuding Marquis Guo Ying is also in the army. Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen's prestige and status are almost the same. They are both veterans who followed the emperor's ancestors and are the only ones left. .

At that time, the coach Geng Bingwen died in the battle. The person who can command the army of Zhending City must be Guo Ying! "

King Yan nodded and said, "Gao Xu is right."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wuding Marquis Guo Ying is still a relative of our family. His second son is Guo Ming, and his wife is from the Xu family, who is from our mother and concubine's natal family...The last time I visited my mother and concubine, I chatted casually Some household things, the mother and concubine mentioned it, probably how they kissed..."

King Yan took the words and said: "I know that Guo Ming's wife is the cousin of your mother and concubine. Guo Ming's father-in-law is the brother of Wei Guogong Xu Da!"

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and scratched the side of his face, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, that's probably how we became relatives. Why didn't my father send envoys into the city, pretending to negotiate a peace, and privately persuade Guo Ying? Today's treacherous court officials are mean to the nobles of the clan, but Advise Guo Ying to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and join relatives to help with great things!"

"It's not easy to persuade..." Yan Wang pondered for a moment, and then said, "But you can try, anyway, we only have one word, and we neither send troops nor food. Besides, Yan's army is approaching the city at this time, so I have to take out It’s better to find a way than to be helpless in front of all the soldiers.”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "Father is wise."

King Yan looked up for a while and said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said, "My son will leave. My father also entered the tent earlier to rest. The autumn night is cool, and my father is the hope of the whole army. He will definitely rest."

King Yan nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu went back to the camp he built and asked someone to soak a few willow branches in a basin to use as a tool for brushing his teeth tomorrow. When he patted, the fibers of the branches were like a brush, and it was very convenient to use local materials.Then he got into the tent and fell asleep.
