Chapter 49: Zhu Youyu's Thoughts
Seeing that Zhu Youyu didn't speak, Huang Ying smiled and said: "You are still young, and you still know very little about real war. There are many aspects to consider in fighting a battle. It is not as easy as you think. If you lose a battle,
In this war, many people will be killed, and it will even affect the overall situation. It is related to the success or failure of the entire Western Front, and it is also related to your father's hegemony."
Huang Ying said her words with a smile. It can be said that there was no harsh word, but it still made Zhu Youyu feel a little uncomfortable. Thinking about it in Zhu Youyu's heart, everyone looked down on his status. His mother had no status in the Zhu family.
He didn't even live in Zhu's house, but built a small courtyard nearby.
Usually Zhu Wen and Wei Guo's wife Zhang are very kind to him, but Zhu Youyu himself has a little inferiority complex. It seems that even the servants in the mansion look at him differently. He always feels that others do not regard him as their master because he is a concubine.
This identity has always shrouded him, making him feel as if he was inferior to others.
Therefore, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, he puts in more effort than others, especially in marching and fighting. He often discusses some classic battle cases with the generals in the army. He especially hopes that one day he can actually fight on the battlefield.
He commanded Fang Qiu, strategized, and even risked his own life to charge into battle. He wanted to use practical actions to show that he was no worse than anyone else.
He never thought about competing with his fourth brother Zhu Youzhen for the position of Prince Zhu Wen's heir. He just wanted to prove his ability and use his ability to cover up his identity as a bastard.
Zhu Youyu glanced at Huang Ying and said respectfully: "What my aunt teaches is that the child is reckless."
Seeing that Zhu Youyu was a little disappointed, Zhang Xiaohui hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Youyu, your aunt is also kind to you. Back then, your aunt was also a powerful heroine and a heroine. When it comes to combat experience, she is also battle-hardened.
, what scene have you not seen? Back then, she fought side by side with your father, and no one could stop her across the Central Plains..."
Huang Ying smiled and said: "Sister, please don't bring up those old accounts from back then. We don't want the children to hear the joke."
Zhang Xiaohui said: "Although it happened many years ago, which of us sisters doesn't envy the relationship between you and the prince? Even I, the wife of the State of Wei, who is personally named by the emperor, am not as good as my sister Wan Yi in the eyes of the prince."
Huang Ying said: "Sister, aren't you looking down on me? Now I am already forty years old, and sister, you are only in your early thirties. In terms of age, I am six years older than you, and you were still in your prime.
And I am already old and yellow."
Zhu Youyu had no interest in the mutual boasting of these elders. He almost didn't hear what they were talking about. He only knew that he could not be looked down upon by others. He must be strong and could not let others be looked down upon because he was a bastard.
Zhu Youyu bowed to his aunts in despair, and then said goodbye. He walked alone on the street, followed by two generals at a distance. The eldest son had told him not to follow him all the time, but they could not rest assured. If the eldest son came out,
If something goes wrong, the ten lives of these generals will not be worth a hair of the eldest son. So how can they go back? But they don't dare to come forward and talk nonsense, so they just follow him from a distance.
Zhu Youyu came to a restaurant and threw five taels of silver on the counter. He said that the shopkeeper would prepare a table of specialty dishes and two pots of old wine, preferably daughter's red. Don't take the ones that are already tired of drinking.
Gujing Gonglai. Although Gujing Gongjiu is the best wine, you will still get tired of it if you drink it regularly.
Of course the shopkeeper recognized Zhu Youyu, the eldest son of the palace. Zhu Youyu was famous for his lavish spending. He did not dare to neglect it at the moment and hurriedly came to make a pot of good tea for Zhu Youyu. He also went to the back kitchen and ordered the chef to make some.
After a sumptuous banquet, he came to Zhu Youyu's table and said, "Which young masters are you inviting to the banquet today? A small shop with a standard of five taels of silver and a banquet may not be able to make it. Three taels of silver is already enough."
That's enough." As he said this, he took out two taels of silver and held them in front of Zhu Youyu with both hands.
In the Tang Dynasty, silver had not yet been used as a currency. Silver was just a precious metal that circulated among wealthy families. One tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,200 fine copper coins, which was a lot. An average family could spend a month on it.
He may not have enough money to eat. Zhu Youyu's hand was five taels of silver, equivalent to six copper coins. Although the shopkeeper liked money, he did not dare to accept this money easily.
When Zhu Youyu saw the money handed over by the shopkeeper, he took it without looking at it and put it in his arms, saying: "I just have a drink alone, there are no other guests."
The shopkeeper said in his heart: "My darling, one person only spends a few taels of silver on a meal. Really, it is good to have a good old man. If I have such a good old man, why would I have to look at others like this every day?"
His face?" In the old shopkeeper's mind, Zhu Youyu has been classified as one of those prodigal sons.
Zhu Youyu was irritated and waved his hand and said: "You have nothing to do here. Go and do whatever you have to do. Serve the food quickly. First, bring up the two pots of Aged Daughter's Red I want."
The food and wine were brought out one after another, and Zhu Youyu poured himself a glass of wine. Although the dishes were all high-quality delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the wine was old wine, it tasted like wax in Zhu Youyu's mouth, without any taste.
Zhu Youyu was drinking here. Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs. Several soldiers boarded the restaurant. A young officer, surrounded by six or seven soldiers, went up to the restaurant and sat not far from Zhu Youyu. The officer obviously
Zhu Youyu didn't know him, so he casually ordered a few side dishes and said: "Brothers, this is an extraordinary period. I originally wanted to have a drink with everyone, but I never thought that Pinglu Army King Shifan would dare to send troops to sneak attack Bianliang. We all
My son just came back yesterday and he encountered something like this. Do you think it’s bad luck or not?”
A soldier said: "Captain Wang, I heard that you escorted Mr. Wei to Nanshan this time, and even the emperor saw it. Is it true or false?"
Captain Wang was Wang Yanzhang who had just escorted Wei Zhao to Nanshan. Now Wei Zhao had stayed in Chang'an and was still holding a position as a post in the Tianping Army. Wang Yanzhang had nothing to do in Chang'an, so he returned to Bianliang.
Unexpectedly, all the generals in Bianliang City followed Zhu Wen to Fengxiang. Many generals were stationed on the line in the middle of the river, and he didn't know who to turn to for orders. Now, General Wang Zhongshi was busy defending the city and could not attend to the meeting for a moment.
He is a little captain.
These people who came with Wang Yanzhang were all friends who came to join the army with Wang Yanzhang. Now they are also some team leaders. They agreed yesterday to clean up Captain Wang today, and then they came to the restaurant to drink. It was just the city.
There was an enemy army outside, so they had to keep everything simple.
Wang Yanzhang said: "The emperor has seen it, but it's not a big deal, because I found that the emperor is just like us, he has two eyes and one mouth, there is nothing special about him."
The soldiers who came with him said excitedly: "Colonel Wang has already met the emperor. It's really not easy! If I can see the emperor once in this life, I won't hesitate to die immediately."
Wang Yanzhang laughed and scolded: "Look at your little boy's potential? I've seen the emperor's crowds of people, but I haven't seen how excited the people around the emperor are. The emperor is just an ordinary person like us.
It’s not like he has three heads and six arms.”
The soldier smiled awkwardly and said: "The emperor is an ordinary person? How is this possible? I heard people say that the emperor is the real emperor who descended to earth and the real dragon was reincarnated..."
The man continued to talk nonsense, but Wang Yanzhang interrupted: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I won't let you get forty military sticks on your ass when I go back. How dare you talk nonsense?"
The soldier quickly shut up, and everyone started drinking and eating. Since it was an emergency period, a few people did not dare to drink excessively, in case the enemy attacked the city and they would not have the chance to perform meritorious service, but would instead be punished by military law for drinking.
But after a while, the talkative soldier couldn't stand idle anymore and said: "Captain Wang, do you think Wang Normal University's troops can attack Bianliang this time?"
Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly and said: "Although there are only more than 10,000 troops in our city, and Wang Shifan has come with 30,000 troops, these 30,000 troops are just chickens and dogs, and they are simply vulnerable. If there is General Xu in the city,
If our generals are here, they can defeat the enemy's army in a single battle outside the city. Where will it be their turn to attack the city?"
The soldier curled his lips and said: "That's true, who is General Xu? He is the military god of our Xuanwu Army. As long as General Xu takes action, not to mention 30,000 troops, even 100,000, they will be wiped out."
Wang Yanzhang sighed: "It is a pity that there is no general who can fight in the city. I heard that when the enemy attacked, the eldest son led five hundred musketeers to guard the east gate. The five hundred men not only successfully guarded the east gate, but also
He also wiped out more than 5,000 enemies. Less than ten of his own people died. What is the concept? It seems that the eldest son is a wizard in military use, but... alas..."
When Zhu Youyu heard that Wang Yanzhang didn't continue, he put the wine bottle in his hand on the table and continued: "It's just that the eldest son is a concubine and has no military power, right?"
Only then did Wang Yanzhang and the others notice that there were people eating next to them. Their voices were very low, but they didn't expect to be heard by Zhu Youyu. Wang Yanzhang didn't know Zhu Youyu, so he was shocked when he heard Zhu Youyu answer. Seeing Zhu Youyu
Fengshen is handsome and has a strange appearance. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. He hurriedly said: "I wonder what this young master's name is?"
Zhu Youyu said: "Xiaowei Wang is also a talented person. Do you have any ideas about making great achievements?" It turns out that Zhu Youyu had a plan in mind at this time...
