On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the mouth of the sea is stuffy.

More than 100,000 troops are heading east along the Yellow River, a tributary of the Red River.

Most of the soldiers wore bright red uniforms, and the roads on both sides of the march were forests, which seemed to be burning in the sunlight, which was very eye-catching, and from time to time the birds and animals in the forest were awakened by the sound of neat footsteps and fled.

A small number of soldiers wore the costumes of the Southwestern peoples, all of which were blue or green, mixed with a group of red clothes, like trees that had been blurred by burning.

On the river, sandwiched by soldiers marching on both sides, hundreds of large and small boats were slowly moving, each loaded with cannons and other siege equipment, and after arriving outside the city of Nanding, the ships would stop not far from the city walls and fire at the city.

Zhu Zanyi stood on the bow of one of the big ships at this time, looked down at the marching army on both sides of the strait, and confidently turned around to his close staff officer Lin Yurong and Yunxi's general He Wenchang and said: "The whole 150,000 army, as well as more than 100 big ships, 8,000 sailors, and nearly 100 cannons, and there are only 70,000 soldiers in Nanding City, our army will definitely be able to succeed immediately, capture Nanding City in one fell swoop, and capture Hu Jichen alive." ”

"Your Highness, our army will definitely be able to capture Nanding City, but it will be very difficult to capture Hu Jichen alive." Lin Yurong said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, if Hu Jichen leaves the city before the army surrounds Nanding City, it will be difficult for our army to capture him alive." ”

"I know, I know," Zhu Zanyi said a little impatiently: "Gu naturally knows that it will be difficult to catch Hu Jichen if he flees south, so Gu just said it casually." ”

"Yurong, I finally know why you didn't have a good reputation in Jinwu avant-garde before, and you were often bullied by your comrades, just your mouth, it's strange not to be bullied."

Lin Yurong's face changed slightly, but it was not the first time Zhu Zanyi had said such a thing these days, he already had enough capacity to bear it, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty Volume Seventy-Nine? Youyun: The Son of Heaven has a minister, although there is no way, he does not lose his world; The Father has a son, though he has no way, he does not fall into unrighteousness; Therefore, Yunzi must not blame his father, and his ministers must not blame him. ”

"Although His Highness is not the Son of Heaven and is quite virtuous, he is also the king of a domain, and his subordinates say that His Highness is a good thing, why does His Highness complain so much? Does His Highness want to be compared to the ordinary soldiers of the Kango avant-garde? ”

Zhu Zanyi smiled and did not speak. Of course, he and the people around Lin Yurong are different. The people around him Lin Yurong are not big officials, and they don't have such a high sense of responsibility, even if they find that Lin Yurong is very talented in fighting with soldiers, he will not recommend to the higher officials when he speaks so unpleasantly, not to mention that military talent is a very special talent, no one can find out if he doesn't really fight, if Jinwu avant-garde has been staying in the capital without fighting, Lin Yurong is estimated to never have a bright day.

But now that his talent has been discovered, Zhu Zanyi, as the king of a domain, will endure even if he dislikes Lin Yurong's mouth, because this feudal domain is his, not to mention that he gets along well with Lin Yurong these days, although Lin Yurong is not pleasant to speak, Zhu Zanyi has gradually adapted to it, but feels that he is very unique and different, and he appreciates it very much.

Zhu Zanyi said a few more words to Lin Yurong, and by the way, she ordered the things she was going to order, and began to think of other things.

"You say, in the future, after I make a vassal, where will I set the capital? Although the location of Thang Long Mansion is very good, the city is also large, and the palace is also large, and it is very comfortable to live, but this city has been the capital of the Annam people for too long, and the forces in the city are intertwined. ”
