In the big tent, Zhu Di did not wear armor, but wore a thick woolen sheepskin coat and sat next to the brazier.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Li Bin, Meng Shan, Chen Heng, Zhang Yu, Chen Yuan and others were sitting around. There were several pots of stew next to them that had become cold, and the soup had solidified into white.
Dad! Zhu Gaoxu came in, saluted and said.
The generals turned around and saw that Zhu Gaoxu was covered in wind and snow, his eyes were red, and his armor was broken, and they all nodded slightly. Although this second prince was young, he was very popular with warriors like them. He was brave and loyal.
Are you back? Zhu Di didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly, "Go to the back and have a hot bite!"
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated, Dad, my son heard it outside now...
Zhu Di raised his head fiercely, go and eat something hot, and be obedient!
Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and said, Hey!
With that said, he walked past the generals and walked into the back hall of the big tent.
As soon as he walked over, he heard someone next to Zhu Di say, Chitose, this battle really can't be fought like this!
~~~
The speaker was Zhu Di's favorite general Zhu Neng. He was a typical northern man who spoke with a buzzing voice.
Zhu Di still didn't speak, he just stretched out his hand and kept roasting it on the brazier.
I won’t tell you how many people we have died while carrying the Tatars these days! Zhu Neng continued, just say that in today’s battle, the Tatars charged desperately. Three thousand of them died, and at least three thousand of us died too.
!As he said that, his red eyes seemed to bleed, Chitose, that is our family's wealth, our own son, if one of them dies, the other will be lost!
Yes, Chitose! Qiu Fu also said, this time the Tatars came so unexpectedly, we were not prepared enough, so we could only rush to fight. That's all. The capital has suppressed us in the past few years and divided your authority. Now you just have to
We can fight with our boss.
These men, it’s hard to raise them all these years by selling people! Zhang Yu also said, if they are all gone, Qiantose will have no chips in his hands?
It has been so many days since the military report was sent, but the imperial court has asked us to stop it, saying that reinforcements are on the way. But they have not said anything else. Where are the reinforcements? Where are the mobilizations? Now I am timid, because I have fought with you for so many years.
He’s never been so angry before! General Meng Shan also said.
Zhu Neng looked at the people around him, and then continued to say to Zhu Di, "Thousand years old, if we can't protect everyone, this is what someone is thinking about. Let Yan Fan wait in front, when we and the Tatars are both hurt, they are here to take advantage!"
Yes, it can also make us injured! Qiu Fu spoke angrily.
Zhu Di finally stopped rubbing his hands, put his big hands into his sleeves, smiled, and looked at everyone, what do you think?
The important minister said! Zhu Neng looked at the big guy and whispered, why not let go of the opening and let the Tatars rush over. We will chase and bite behind. When the imperial army arrives, we can either join forces or fight for the enemy.
Partial teacher!
Zhu Di frowned, what if the court asks about it in the future?
We have a total of more than 40,000 people, and there are more than 70,000 Tatars across the street. Zhu Neng said, there are more than 70,000 Tatars, plus those who herd their animals, feed their horses, and cook their meals, there are at least 100,000 people.
.We can’t bear it hard, so we can only take detours!
Detour? Haha, isn't it just the fear of war, isn't it just to preserve strength, isn't it just the fear of death? To put it nicely, you have been following me all your life, when did I ever make a detour? Zhu Di looked at everyone, what he said
, do you all agree?
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
I know your good intentions. To be honest, I was watching the battle in the Chinese Army today and watching our son fall, my heart has been bleeding! Zhu Di slowly spoke, like, someone is holding a knife and twisting my heart. It hurts.
It's hard for me to even breathe!
Hey! Speaking of this, Zhu Di sighed, how could I not know that they are my Zhu Di's soldiers? How could I not know that they are the capital in my hands. According to what Lao Zhu said, pretending to be defeated and letting the Tatars pass can preserve their strength.
No need to kill people. But if you really do that, will your conscience be okay?
The conscience I'm talking about is the conscience towards those brothers who died in battle. If you don't want to fight, don't fight in the first place. If you let the enemy pass after so many people died, how should you explain to the brothers who died in battle?
Say it again!
After saying this, Zhu Di stood up, walked to the tent, and looked outside. Behind us is the Ming Dynasty. If we let the Tatars pass, the people of the Ming Dynasty will still die!
Zhu Di came back to his senses, his eyes were like daggers, if that's the case, even if I have millions of tigers under my command, I'm just a coward!
I have made up my mind! Zhu Di continued to say loudly, before the military orders of the imperial court come, they should be nailed here to make it difficult for the Tatars to move forward. Behind us is the Ming Dynasty, and we are waiting for the garrison to block it. Isn't it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty?
This is a national war, and I, Zhu Di, disdain the villain's behavior!
They refused to retreat even an inch and fought bloody battles with the Tatars. The soldiers are dead. Enter you people. You are all dead. Enter me, father and son of the Zhu family!
Well! The generals stood up and responded loudly.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside the tent.
King Yan, the military order from the imperial court!
Bring it! Zhu Di’s eyes lit up.
The military order was in Zhu Di's hands, and all the generals were eagerly awaiting it.
I saw that Zhu Di's expression was indescribably complicated. He seemed to be relieved, grateful, and even a little bit admirable.
Chitose, what did the court say? Zhu Neng asked urgently.
Hey! Zhu Di smiled bitterly and sighed, that kid has a big plan!
Everyone was puzzled and listened to Zhu Di continue to laugh and say, Holy edict, before the battle, I will control the Peking Dusi, Liaodong Dusi, Tieling Guards, and Liao Wang Guards!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.
Now, I can mobilize the troops and arrange the battlefield openly! Zhu Di's eyes were clear and he said loudly, Duke Fu Youde of Ying State is leading the 60,000 Goryeo garrison, coming day and night. The kings of Zhou, Qin and Jin are also leading their troops.
Come here. There are also 40,000 elites from the Jing Camp and 9,000 heavy cavalry, led by Ping Baoer, who are also on the way!
Hahaha! Zhu Di laughed loudly. They all obeyed my command. With hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, not a single Tatar could even think of running away. If I kill one of my sons, I will ask them to pay back a hundred times!
~~~
Reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived?
In the back tent, Zhu Gaoxu was holding a bowl of broth and drinking heavily. He and Zhu Gaosui put their heads together and eavesdropped outside.
Hey, how could the imperial reinforcements arrive so quickly? Zhu Gaosui wondered, Uncle Zhu Neng is right, now is a good time to weaken us. The capital, they wish we were all dead!
Huh! Behind the two of them, Zhu Gaochi's cold snort came, what a villain!
They turned around and saw Zhu Gaochi huddled in a thick woolen coat, sitting beside a strong stove. The muscles on his face were trembling due to the cold.
This is a national war! Zhu Gaochi said, the Tatars are going to fight the entire Ming Dynasty. Under the overthrow of the nest, An has intact eggs? He said, pause, this is like, we three brothers usually dislike each other, but there are really outsiders.
To fight us, should we join forces?
Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help but nod, while Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help but move his little eyes.
Besides, you still don’t know our father’s temper? Zhu Gaochi continued, a man must be somewhat heroic. Our father was a hero all his life. If he is vague about such things, what kind of hero can he be?
Zhu Gaojiu nodded again, his little eyes moving quickly.
What the boss said makes sense! Zhu Gaoxu sat down and said, "Actually, I also think that if we really open up a hole like Uncle Zhu said, it would be a bit... a bit... not a good enough guy!"
Zhu Gaosui said disdainfully that in the face of military and national events, a hero is just an ordinary man with courage!
You... Zhu Gaoxu is furious.
If a man doesn't even have the courage of an ordinary man, how can he talk about his family, country and world? Zhu Gaochi choked Zhu Gaosui half to death with one sentence. He didn't even dare to fight. He knew how to hide and be afraid when something happened. How could he have the shame to say anything else?
You...it's Zhu Gaosui's turn to be speechless.
The boss is right! Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth and said, just like those bad scholars said, why don't you be good at small things...
Where the hell is this? Can you read more? Zhu Gaochi covered his forehead with his fat hands.
You are the only one who studies a lot! Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, how many Tatars can you kill if you study a lot? Look at you, you are so fat that you can’t even ride a horse!
What's wrong with not being able to ride a horse? Zhu Gaochi also said angrily, "I can defeat ten warriors with one force. Don't look at me because I'm fat. Can three or two Tatars beat me?"
Blow it? Zhu Gaoxu squinted.
The boss didn’t brag! Zhu Gaosui said, when the Tatars came over, the boss grabbed him and stuffed him under his butt, suffocating him to death!
Ah ha ha ha ha! Zhu Gaoxu covered his stomach and rolled on the ground.
Summer insects cannot speak of ice! Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes and wrapped himself tightly in his woolen jacket.
Boss, are you still afraid of the cold with all this fat? Zhu Gaoxu came closer and smiled, then you have gained all this fat in vain?
You know nothing, a good man is all fat! Zhu Gaochi laughed and scolded.
What about the woman? Zhu Gaosui also sat down next to her and asked.
What a beautiful girl... Hehe! Zhu Gaochi laughed, you can guess for yourself!
Outside, Zhu Di raised the curtain and came in. He saw the three brothers sitting shoulder to shoulder, crowded.
Dad! The three of them shouted at the same time.
Zhu Di nodded and sat cross-legged opposite his three sons with a smile on his face.
