Xie Zaixing never expected that he went to the Guogong Mansion, but the glory and wealth did not get it as scheduled, but ended up being dismissed and transferred. The eldest daughter of Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info Xie Cuiying was able to marry into the Zhu family smoothly, but unfortunately it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who married Zhu Wenzheng. Zhu Wenzheng is just a hairy boy, no official and no position, what's the use of marrying such a person!

He was extremely resentful in his heart, he was born and died for Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and he had no merit and hard work, just because he knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's prostitution, he aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion and revenge, and ended up like this. He didn't think that all the things about his corruption in the army were all learned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was merciful to punish him like this. He didn't think about his own mistakes, but blamed Zhu Yuanzhang for being ruthless and unjust. However, the other party is the prince of the country, he is a subordinate of others, so he can only curse in his heart, and in the end he reluctantly went to Zhuquan to guard the city gate, and he didn't even bother to worry about Xie Cuiying's marriage.

Fortunately, Xie Zaixing's wife is a reasonable person, and while persuading her husband to take office well, she stayed in Yingtian to arrange her daughter's marriage.

Only those who know and are interested can be respected, Ma Xiuying was more kind to Mrs. Xie, invited her to come to the house to talk about it, and asked Zhu Wenzheng to come out to meet the mother and daughter.

When Mrs. Xie saw that Zhu Wenzheng and Ma Xiuying were as close as biological mother and son, she immediately wrote to Xie Zaixing, persuading him not to think about it anymore, and not to be dissatisfied with her daughter's marriage. Blind people can see that with Ma Xiuying's support, Zhu Wenzheng's future will not be bad, and Zhu Wenzheng is still a handsome and upright young man, and his daughter is just right, marrying Zhu Yuanzhang, who can be an uncle, is a joke.

All mothers hope that their daughters will marry happily, but Xie Zaixing uses his daughter as a bargaining chip, even if Zhu Wenzheng makes a career in the future, will he wait for the day? However, he didn't expect that when the Zhu and Xie families officially discussed their marriage, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to promote him from the general guarding the city gate to the supreme commander of Zhuquan, and let him guard Zhuquan.

This is because Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Xie Zaixing's merits after his anger disappeared, and considered that as the in-laws of the Zhu family, his status could not be too low, so he was exceptionally reduced and promoted in a short period of time. This time, Xie Zaixing was honest, and An An guarded everything separately, and there was no objection.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, Zhu Biao was already able to crawl, Ma Xiuying looked at him with a smile, and her son's absence from illness and disaster was her greatest expectation.

At this time, Yuan Xing came to see Ma Xiuying, and said a request, it turned out that Zhu Wenzheng's three children did not want to go to the school to study anymore, and wanted to be a military general to officially join the army, they were afraid that Ma Xiuying would not agree, so they asked Yuan Xing to help intercede. Especially Zhu Wenzheng, he is about to marry a daughter-in-law, he can't be so mediocre anymore, he can't wait to make contributions and lay a foundation for the future.

Count that Zhu Wenzheng is eighteen years old, and Zhu Wenzhong and Zhu Muying are also fourteen or five years old.

Ma Xiuying sighed, a few years have passed, the children have grown up, and she should no longer interfere in their lives, since they have chosen to follow Rong, they will be fulfilled. But Ma Xiuying put forward a request, the three of them can not learn the Four Books and Five Classics, but must be familiar with various military arts, three days later she will randomly come out of a military question, the correct answer can be sent to the barracks, the wrong answer will stay in the school to continue to study and wait for the next test.

Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Wenzhong, and Zhu Muying jumped up happily when they heard that Ma Xiuying agreed to let them go to the barracks, hugging Yuan Xing and cheering vigorously.

Yuan Xing poured a basin of cold water, "Don't be too happy, it's okay to answer your stepmother's questions." ”

Zhu Wenzheng said nonchalantly: "I often hear you and my father-in-law talk about various wars in the army, and those strategies for using troops have long been kept in mind, and I will definitely be able to answer correctly." ”

Zhu Wenzhong and Zhu Muying hurriedly shouted: "Brother Wen Zheng, if the topic is too difficult, you will have to help us then!"

Zhu Wenzheng patted his chest, "Don't worry, everything is on me." ”

Yuan Xing shook his head, Ma Xiuying was usually too kind to these three children, so much so that they all forgot what a powerful person Ma Xiuying was, and hoped that they would not lose too badly at that time. He thought with pity and sorrow, and at the same time he was ready to watch the excitement.

Three days later, in the garden of the Guogong Mansion, Ma Xiuying sat in the invigilator seat with Zhu Biao in her arms, and the auditors were Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Zhen, and Yuan Xing.

Not only a few of them, but Xu Da, Tang He and others also heard the news and came to join in the fun, if it weren't for the fact that the garden in the house was so big, Ma Xiuying issued a ban on entry, and there might be more people coming.

Ma Xiuying glanced around at everyone, and the generals who exchanged their heads were suddenly silent, she smiled slightly, and motioned to Xun Ying to read out the question.

"Suppose Party A leads 100,000 troops, Party B leads 200,000 troops, and the two armies are engaged in the main battle on the outskirts of a city, and there are no dangerous obstacles such as mountains, canyons, rivers, and swamps. Although Party A has few soldiers, the general is a genius like Sun Wu. Although Party B's generals are not as outstanding as Party A's generals, they are also decent generals and rarely make wrong decisions. The soldiers of the first and second pairs are all battle-hardened, and there will be no phenomenon that once the general is killed, the whole army will be defeated. So who will win in this war? Party A or Party B? Please write the reasons for the victory. ”

There was immediately a buzzing discussion in the garden, and everyone felt that Ma Xiuying's question was simply inexplicable, and this was a question that could not give the right answer at all.

Some people say that Party A wins, since the strategy of Party A's generals is comparable to that of Sun Wu, who once helped the Yue State defeat the Chu State, which is many times more powerful, so although Party B has an extra 100,000 horses, it will definitely suffer losses in the strategy of Party A's generals; some people say that Party A has a strategy, and Party B has troops, and each has its own advantages, so it is not known which will win or lose......

The chatter in the garden grew louder and louder, and as soon as this one was finished, the other was quickly picked up, and the argument hardly stopped.

Zhu Wenzheng and the three of them listened to the arguments of the generals, and felt that the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, so they held the pen and didn't know how to answer the question.

"Quiet, you're going to wake me up. Ma Xiuying frowned unhappily, "If the generals are interested in answering the questions, I can also ask the generals to prepare pen and ink, and ask the generals to write them down, so as not to affect the children's answers." ”

Many generals didn't even know the big characters, how to answer the questions on paper, saw Ma Xiuying's face, and immediately made an excuse to leave, but they still didn't stop arguing when they left the Guogong Mansion, and they quarreled until the barracks, and in the end it actually developed into a topic of discussion for the whole army.

"There is still time for half a burnt incense, and those who do not answer the questions will be automatically abstained, and they will be collected when I come out. Ma Xiuying carried her son into the room to breastfeed, leaving Xunying to supervise the three of them.

An answer must be chosen. Zhu Wenzheng bit the pen and pondered: If our stepmother asks us to be familiar with all kinds of art of war, then she must hope that the trickster will win. The general of Party A is a genius in the use of soldiers, if he uses very small losses as bait to set a trap for the opponent, and then uses a suspicious tactic to attack the east and west, lead the enemy army to disperse, seize the opportunity to destroy the opponent's elite troops with the main force, so as to cause psychological shock to the enemy, chill the enemy's courage, boost the prestige of our army, and then launch a full-scale attack on the enemy while the morale is at its peak, you can achieve victory...... At that moment, he no longer hesitated and began to write.

Zhu Muying and Zhu Wenzhong were still waiting for Zhu Wenzheng to give an answer, but they saw that he was just immersed in writing quickly, and seeing that the time was up, the two had no choice but to write an answer on the paper.

Xun Ying put away the scroll and handed it to Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zhen for judging.

Ma Xiuying took the paper and did not look at it, but said: "There is actually no standard answer to this question, I just want to tell you that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any decision may have different results, and this result is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people." In order to achieve victory, weather, terrain, combat deployment, number of soldiers and morale are all indispensable factors. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder there are different opinions on this question, it turns out that there is no so-called answer at all. However, after listening to Ma Xiuying's explanation, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, in the past, when leading troops to fight, they only knew how to charge bravely, won and waited for rewards, and defeated and sighed for bad luck, but they never thought about it carefully, there were so many decisive factors in victory and defeat.

"Think about it slowly in the future, and now look at their answers first. Ma Xiuying pushed Zhu Yuanzhang, and her chin rushed to the roll.

Zhu Wenzheng's answer was remarkable, and everyone unanimously approved it.

Zhu Muying played a trick and replied on the paper: "It is possible for either side A and B to win, and it is necessary to draw conclusions according to the actual situation. ”

Everyone saw that he was reasonable, and his voice was full of emotion, and he also passed the assessment.

Only Zhu Wenzhong's paper honestly had three big characters written on it - I don't know, so he became the only one who failed the exam.

Seeing Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Muying happily going to the barracks, Zhu Wenzhong, who was extremely depressed, beat his chest, even if he couldn't write a superb answer like Zhu Wenzhong, he should write an answer like Zhu Muying. He secretly swore that he could not be too honest, and from now on he would read any book, not only to learn the art of war but also to learn scheming.

Many years later, Zhu Wenzhong, who was knowledgeable and confident, became the only general in the founding of the Ming Dynasty who was both civil and military. His ingenuity also made him one of the few people who survived Zhu Yuanzhang's massacre of the founding heroes. This is a later story, and I will not mention it.
