Chapter 64: General Xu Da (2)

The general Xu Da was dressed in cloth, dressed plainly and unpretentiously, and there were countless books in his room, there was no luxurious decoration, and there was no rare wood, everything was simple, and he didn't know that he thought it was just a house of ordinary people with a large courtyard, just as Xu Da was about to cover the military book he had read earlier, Ma Sanbao interrupted him.

"General, I suggest you find a thinner thing to sandwich in the book, otherwise you may forget where you see it, I think the leaves are good, what do you think?" Ma Sanbao reminded, Xu Da suddenly realized, he has read countless military books, but occasionally he doesn't know where he sees when he passes the pass, Ma Sanbao's reminder just reminded the point, he picked a leaf casually, sandwiched it in the book, and praised Ma Sanbao.

"You have discovered such details, you are really smart, and you will not be a child that Your Majesty appreciates!" Xu Da applauded, and his eyes at Ma Sanbao became a little more friendly, and he had wondered what kind of child and what kind of divine power could make His Majesty look at him with admiration.

"It's over, General, it's just a little cleverness." Ma Sanbao modestly touched his head, in his previous life, he had his own bookmark, or specially customized, whenever he read a book and decided not to read it, he would sandwich the bookmark in the book, which is a habit he has always developed, which is why he reminded Xu Da.

"On the battlefield, a little detail, a little cleverness, often catch the opponent off guard, and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty are all cunning soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles. I also know that Your Highness's intention to come this time is to ask me to help you establish your prestige in the army, right? After all, you don't know a lot of life here in Beiping, and you need someone to support you, am I right? Xu Da opened his mouth and said, as a successful general, he didn't put up a fight in front of Zhu Di, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he Xu Da dared to be so calm, it was precisely because of his identity that most of the territory of the Ming Dynasty was fought down by him and Chang Yuchun!

Xu Da's words shocked Zhu Di, he admired Xu Da's guessing ability, he deserved to be one of the most famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da was really extraordinary, he had just stepped into his mansion, and even the intention was known to the other party, he Zhu Di seemed to be seen through in front of Xu Da, and there were no secrets.

"Don't be surprised, just your little thoughts, I can't see it, then I really don't look at you growing up, I think at the beginning, I was high-spirited, and now it's been twenty years, time flies!" There is no high-quality tea in Xu Da's mansion, but the faint fragrance of tea exudes an unusual charm.

"General, I really can't hide a secret in front of you!" Zhu Di touched his head embarrassedly, from childhood to adulthood, this general has said a lot of good things for himself in front of his father, Xu Da and Zhu Di have a very good relationship, Zhu Di is also under Xu Da's immersion in the war has a lot of interest, it can be said that the reason why Zhu Di now likes to experience the pleasure of the southern and northern wars is because Xu Da has been trained by his ears and eyes since he was a child.

Xu Da looked at Zhu Di with a smile, this Royal Highness is still a little bit in his eyes, so many years have passed, but nothing has changed at all, at least in his eyes, Zhu Di is still the same as his previous personality, maybe only he dares to treat Zhu Di like this, even if it is other generals, when he sees the fourth prince Zhu Di, he will be a little respectful.

"This matter, I will naturally help you, but it depends on how the Fourth Highness is powerful in the army, you know, soldiers are arrogant, in these days in the army, the most unconvincing thing they are is not capable of being their superiors, Fourth Highness, you have to make enough achievements on the battlefield, you have also heard of Guan Yu, I think at the beginning, if there was no Guan Yu's outstanding military exploits, it would be difficult for other princes to recognize." Xu Da opened his mouth and said that if you want to be recognized by other soldiers, you need enough military exploits, and the most important system in the army is not the class system, but the combat merits.

Ma Sanbao knows the truth of this, he was a Marine in his previous life, in the army, it is not that the higher the rank, the more dignified, the high rank is not supported by actual combat exploits, and many soldiers will not obey their top bosses.

Ma Sanbao nodded slightly, recognizing Xu Da's words, Xu Da looked at the child nodding beside him with some curiosity, and suddenly the more he looked at Ma Sanbao, the more pleasing it was, this child was simply amazing, if it was cultivated for a little time, maybe he would also be a member of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Sanbao, who was headed, didn't know that he had been valued by Xu Da, he just nodded subconsciously, after all, his previous life was exactly such a style, he didn't talk much, he relied on his military exploits to gain a foothold in the army, and climbed to the height of that time step by step, he paid countless blood and sweat to create the glory at that time, because of this, he firmly believed in Xu Da's words, and did not have the slightest intention to refute.

"It seems that the most important thing is the war merit, general, I understand, there are not enough military merits, those soldiers will not listen to me, I understand, the general of Zhenbei is just a name, and he still needs great military exploits as the foundation!" Zhu Di thought about it for a long time, he didn't want to take a shortcut, but he was afraid that those generals would not be willing to listen to his dispatch, so his name and military power as the general of Zhenbei would be in vain.

"Wenhe, the first time I met you, it was quite speculative, you fit my appetite very much, I like you very much, these military books of mine, if you like them, even if you have a jumper, you can be called the reincarnation of Zhuge , I guess you should not only have the ability to play smart, right? The assets of the Four Highnesses are all taken care of by you, and I have heard that you have read a lot of military books in Shang Wei, you can pick these at will, I believe in the future, you must not be reincarnated, you are you, but it is a role as famous as Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji, but it is a pity that Liu Ji is gone! Xu Da first praised Ma Sanbao, how did he like this handsome child at the beginning, but when he mentioned Liu Ji, there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, who is Liu Ji? Liu Bowen! A famous military advisor in history, it is a pity that he died in the hands of Hu Weiyong.

Hearing Xu Da's words, Zhu Di was a little surprised, Xu Da has many military books, but generally does not give outsiders the opportunity to read them, after all, these are all military books produced by the Ministry of War, not everyone is qualified to read them, even if he wants to read Xu Da, he is a little unhappy, but now, Xu Da actually took the initiative to let Ma Sanbao read the military books, so that Zhu Di had to suspect that Ma Sanbao seems to have some magic power to make so many ministers and famous generals look at him with admiration, whether it is Shang Wei, or Xu Da, or even his father Zhu Yuanzhang is full of praise for Ma Sanbao.

"If you're still alive, you'll be happy for someone to come after you, right?" Xu Da looked at Ma Sanbao's back, and couldn't help but think of Liu Ji, the old man, Liu Ji made countless suggestions for the Ming Dynasty's territorial expansion, and he finally was poisoned by Hu Weiyong on the way to retreat, and died in the hands of Hu Weiyong and others, Xu Da has always hated Hu Weiyong, but fortunately, Ma Sanbao eradicated Hu Weiyong, which alleviated Xu Da's hatred, and because of this, Xu Da had a good impression of Ma Sanbao.

Many military books are placed in front of Ma Sanbao, Ma Sanbao doesn't know how to choose for a while, it's like reading a book in the library, although there are many dazzling books, but miscellaneous, there is no range He really doesn't know how to choose, in Xu Da's collection, there are very few records of maritime military affairs that interest him the most, this is not strange, after all, Xu Da is a general who often fights on land, and it is normal not to have many naval military books.

"Forget it, don't do it for the time being, I don't have much time to read it anyway." Ma Sanbao shook his head and said, in the end, he didn't choose a single one, which made Xu Da inevitably a little disappointed, in Xu Da's eyes, Ma Sanbao should have chosen a few books, but there was no choice, which made Xu Da a little puzzled, could it be that this child doesn't like the military?

"General, there are too many books to finish, I'll come back next time I have a chance." Seeing Xu Da's disappointed look, Ma Sanbao naturally knew what Xu Da was thinking, he clenched his fists and bowed respectfully to Xu Da, which made Xu Da's disappointed look a little better.

"Good, good, good!" Xu Da said hello three times in a row, and even Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little jealous, "Come often in the future, my collection of books, you can flip through it casually!" ”

Ma Sanbao was flattered, he saw Zhu Di's jealous look, and also guessed one or two, obviously, this Xu Da's collection of books is not so easy to read, even he Zhu Di may not have many opportunities, he is fortunate to have the honor to read casually, what an honor? Xu Da was a famous general in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty! actually allowed himself to flip through his own collection, and after coming to Daming, he no longer knew that this was the first celebrity who favored him.

Ma Sanbao didn't know that if he hadn't eradicated Hu Weiyong in front, Xu Da wouldn't have looked at himself so pleasing to the eye, as a general, he had long seen that Hu Weiyong, who liked to use the next three indiscriminate means to seek benefits for himself, Hu Weiyong was eradicated as a big trouble for Xu Da's henchmen, he had already guessed that Hu Weiyong would appear on his opposite side in the future, and even the official position of the prime minister was lost because of Hu Weiyong, but he was willing for the sake of Daming.

"To be honest, I'm really jealous of you, I've known General Xu since I was a child, in my impression, General Xu rarely appreciates a stranger so much, it can be seen that he likes you very much, and even wants to train you to be his successor!" Leaving Xu Da's mansion, Zhu Di said beside Ma Sanbao, and he patted Ma Sanbao on the shoulder to express his jealousy and envy.
