Chapter 222 The King of Han is quite like His Majesty
"Can you fight?"
Xu Jingchang asked in a low voice, with a little bit of uneasiness and fear in his tone.
"Are you scared?" Zhu Gaoxu asked playfully.
"Who is scared!" Xu Jingchang immediately widened his eyes, "Why do you accuse someone of innocence?"
"Innocent?" Zhu Gaoxu glanced sideways at him and looked at himself, his hands shaking.
Xu Jingchang quickly retracted his hands into his sleeves and hummed: "You can't slander me... This is my first time taking charge of a political party, and my first time going to the battlefield. It's normal... I'm not afraid, I'm excited, excited!"
I am eager to fight!"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Then it's best this way. You lead the charge and I will follow behind."
"No!" Xu Jingchang flatly refused, "My kung fu is not good enough...and I'm not married yet, and I don't have a son, so don't be afraid if you die, I can't die."
Zhu Gaoxu laughed angrily, "Are you so rich? If you die, I will let Xu Qin's son adopt you. Don't worry, your family will not be ruined."
"You, are you speaking human language?" Xu Jingchang was furious, "Zhu Gaoxu, if you are like this, we can't be friends. I have all your handles. Believe it or not, I will let them out."
, let everyone know?”
The most important thing is that Arutai is just the Taibao of the Tatar tribe. He is still sweating. It will be okay if he wins, but it will be miserable if he is defeated...
This time we have to be tough, we can't lose face, we can't let go, let alone get into a fight. The operation is really difficult.
"What can I do?" This time it was Xu Jingchang's turn to ask seriously.
Hearing what Xu Jingchang said, Zhu Gaoxu rarely smiled, "It's okay, you still have some conscience... But don't worry, the current Ming Dynasty is not something Arutai can provoke. I guess he actually wanted to send troops to Duoyan Sanwei.
.”
"Very good! You put making money first." Xu Jingchang said decisively: "His Royal Highness, we must find a way to stop the war and force Arutai to retreat. Do you have any good ideas?"
"What can you do?"
Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to be bragging, Xu Jingchang also calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he also laughed at himself... After all, this was the first time he had taken charge of one side. When he heard that 50,000 troops were coming, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Nothing beats pennies...
Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyelids and could only say honestly: "I did win a few times, but I was still young at that time... You also know that my reputation for being brave and good at fighting was all created by Jing Nan. Arutai must know that
My reputation may not necessarily scare me. If you believe in my ability, you can give me your troops and I will challenge Arutai. The chance of winning is at least 50%."
Obviously, Xu Jingchang's side did not have the advantage in terms of military strength, and the guard post was to be dismantled, causing internal and external turmoil and unstable people's hearts.
If someone colludes with Arutai, it is very likely that the Mongols will be brought in.
Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to say: "Brother, please calm down, it's just Arutai, it's nothing. I have dealt with him before."
If Zhu Gaoxu arrived too early and launched a fierce attack, Zhu Gaoxu would not be able to protect himself.
"Cousin, if you insist on telling me, there are only two ways now."
Zhu Gaoxu was so confident that he didn't dare to say anything else. When it came to rushing into battle to kill the enemy, even Zhu Di admitted: This guy is like me.
This time Xu Jingchang is hard to say, because in the novel, several armies are well arranged, the enemy comes to kill, ambushes are sent out in all directions, and after a while, they can win a complete victory. This is really the way the novel is written.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do about this!"
Xu Jingchang thought seriously for a long time and then said: "You said that His Majesty will go on a personal expedition, will Arutai be afraid?"
"That's not the case." Xu Jingchang said hurriedly: "Think about it, His Majesty is looking forward to the Northern Expedition and intends to move the capital. I have spent a lot of effort to allow His Majesty to temporarily settle in Yingtian. You don't know his temper? Once we fight
After arriving at Arutai, even if we win, His Majesty will still take the opportunity to go northward, saying that he will accomplish all his work in one battle and completely pacify Monan. In that case, if the army goes northward, all our ideas will not be realized."
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened and he muttered: "I want both money and meritorious deeds."
Xu Jingchang snorted: "I believe in your ability, but we can't fight even if there is 100% loss." Xu Jingchang reached out and pressed Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder, and said seriously: "We want to make a fortune, and we will not do a loss-making business!"
Zhu Gaoxu hummed: "That's my father, how can he not be afraid!"
Xu Jingchang stared into Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, "Tell the truth, do you want to make meritorious deeds or do you want money?"
Xu Jingchang looked around. There were only 5,000 people around him. How about calling Duke Cheng and his uncle to come over and defend Beiping?
If this is really the case, it would be a serious crime for the Arutai army to run amok within the Great Wall... All the plans he had conceived would be ruined.
"Shut up!"
This is because Xu Jingchang underestimated his abilities. When it comes to fighting, Zhu Gaoxu is quite smart.
"Don't be stupid, and don't be brave... We can give the benefits to Duoyan Sanwei to Arutai. Anyway, as long as the business is done, there are some things that cannot be left to the Mongols." Xu Jingchang rambled.
It's a coward's game, it depends on who is braver.
Although the scale this time was small, Arutai had 50,000 cavalry after all. If he saw Xu Jingchang's bluff and launched an attack in advance, he would be doomed.
"That's good!" Xu Jingchang suddenly slapped his thigh, and an idea came to him, "Do you think this will work? I'll give you 800 people, and you can go around to the back of Arutai. When the time comes, you just need to use your banner as King of Han, and the prince will make a roundabout way.
After the detour, the Emperor of Heaven must have arrived... I will go out of Xifengkou to see Alutai. While we are talking, you show up at the right time and scare Alutai, and you will definitely scare him away."
"Zhu Gaoxu, tell me the truth. Are you afraid of Arutai?" Xu Jingchang stared at Zhu Gaoxu. This was not the time to brag.
He thought for a moment and shook his head decisively, "King Han, we cannot fight this battle."
Xu Jingchang thought carefully for a while, and now he was afraid of two things.
At present, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, there has not yet been a large-scale Northern Expedition. Arutai is not sure how strong the Ming army is.
Xu Jingchang was stunned, "Why did you say that?"
Xu Jingchang calmed down and his clever IQ took over the high ground again.
"The first is, as I said, we must gather elite soldiers and fight them. With the troops in Peiping, the chances of winning are still very high. The second is to let me go to see Arutai."
Xu Jingchang was so angry that his temples kept beating... If he did this, it would be scarier than losing the battle. After all, the defeat was just because of his lack of ability. With his aunt taking care of him, he could still survive. If he lost his teacher and humiliated the country, he would spend money to buy peace.
Up and down the court, there were so many pairs of eyes and the enmity was so great that they could tear Xu Jingchang into pieces.
"You go to see Arutai? That's not possible, it's too dangerous! Absolutely not, I won't let you take the risk." Xu Jingchang shook his head flatly, joking, saying that Zhu Gaoxu could come to see him, so he couldn't let him take the risk.
Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled, "They're knocking on your door, why not? Are you so cowardly?"
It's rare that Zhu Gaoxu actually grew a brain.
All in all, even in the information age, if everyone has a walkie-talkie, it is difficult to coordinate seamlessly, let alone now.
Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyelids and suddenly smiled, "Brother Xian, have you read too many novels?"
"Have I never fought before?" Xu Jingchang said helplessly.
Xu Jingchang's forehead was sweating...
These are not the old, weak, sick or disabled like the Duoyan Sanwei. The soldiers and horses under Arutai can be called the elite of the Tatar tribe, and they are also the essence of the Mongolians on the entire grassland.
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and nodded vigorously, "Brother Xian is right!"
In reality, famous generals like Li Guang are famous for getting lost... When Zhu Yuanzhang sent three armies to the north, Xu Da led 50,000 people in the middle. In the end, he was defeated, which became the biggest crisis in Xu Da's life. defeat.
"Let others go, you can't take risks."
"But I have never lost a battle! Every time I rush forward directly... Otherwise, you can follow Zhao Song's example and send you coins and silk. If you don't have enough, send a few more beauties. As soon as Arutai is happy, he will let you go. I've passed you!"
Zhu Gaoxu hummed: "You ask me?"
What should I do?
Seeing him in such a mess, Zhu Gaoxu laughed happily. He finally found this kid's weakness, which makes you always confident. How about it, are you scared this time?
"My dear brother, before Jingnan, I followed my father to the fortress and defeated the Mongols. Arutai was just a defeated general under me... Don't worry, I am here to keep you safe. You now Give me an order, gather 10,000 elite soldiers for me, I will immediately rush out of Xifengkou, destroy Arutai, and let you have a good sleep, how about it?"
"This is not easy. If I lead people around, Arutai will definitely arrange many casual riders to keep an eye on him. There is no way he can suddenly appear behind him... What if I go the wrong way here or lose time? If I can’t cooperate with you, what should I do?”
Xu Jingchang raised his eyebrows again and again, Zhu Gaoxu can fight, Zhu Neng is not a waste, and there are uncles and Li Jinglong... Judging from this lineup, he should not be worried about his life.
Don't look at Arutai's ferocious momentum. He brought in an army of 50,000 and gave Zhu Gaoxu 10,000 to 20,000. He might not be able to defeat him...
Xu Jingchang clenched his fists in anger. They argued again and again, but Zhu Gaoxu prevailed.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, laughed and said: "If I don't go, no one else can scare Alutai! Your reputation is only useful in the Ming Dynasty, and the people outside are not afraid of you, hahaha!"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything else, he just asked for a night's rest. After all, he was really tired from traveling all the way.
Xu Jingchang arranged for him to rest without saying a word, and then gave orders to Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong to prepare themselves. If there was an accident, they would have no choice but to fight tooth and nail.
Turning around, Zhu Gaoxu was three poles high in the sun. After getting up, he took only twenty knights with him. With great momentum, he left Peiping, exited Xifengkou, and headed straight for the Alutai camp.
Xu Huizu stood at the top of the city, looking at Zhu Gaoxu's back, and sighed secretly, "This boy really looks like your majesty!"
