Thinking all the way, Zhu Yongxing walked into the big tent behind the mountain beam, and was immediately interrupted by the sound of seeing.

"You don't have to be polite." Zhu Yongxing immediately had a smile on his face, and asked the generals not to be polite with a pleasant face, and then he sat on the seat in the center and motioned for the generals to sit down.

The hot tea was served, Zhu Yongxing held it in his hand, warmed his hand, and then took a few sips gently, and a stream of heat flowed into his stomach, which was indescribably comfortable.

"Your Highness is kind-hearted, but those Qing army captives should not be trusted!" Liu Zhen, the prince of Shu, first complimented him, and then indirectly questioned Zhu Yongxing's capture policy.

"I know this way." Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly and said, "But the surrenderer does not kill is still the most important part of the prisoner policy, this is a long-term consideration, and the effect will gradually show in the future." We must show no mercy to the enemy who holds weapons; And to the enemy who falls to his knees, we will lift him up. After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "Today, the Shizi Array has made a lot of contributions to the Qing Army. ”

"It's really a fluke, and the last general won't dare to take credit." Liu Zhen was humble on his lips, but he still showed a little smugness on his face.

Hearing Liu Zhen call himself the last general, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help lowering his eyelids, and his mind was turning. Originally, he asked Jin Tongwu, the general of the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Zhen, the son of the King of Shu, to be stationed in Tengchong, first, to rest, and secondly, to be the most rearly reserve army. However, Liu Zhen led a thousand soldiers to help, and he was very brave in the battle, and his flattery and dedication were very obvious.

Despite this, Zhu Yongxing felt that there should be a knot in Liu Zhen's heart that had not been opened, and that was the problem of attacking the lord. It stands to reason that after Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, died of illness, it was logical for the prince Liu Zhen to attack the lord, but the court just didn't make a decree and seemed to forget about it.

The reason for this is that when the imperial court granted Liu Wenxiu the title of King of Shu, he must not have been willing, just like when Sun Kewang asked for the title of King of Qin, the court quarreled and hesitated, which caused Sun Kewang to be greatly dissatisfied. And Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, welcomed Yongli and the imperial court into Yunnan, with a strong army in his hands, and he was very loyal, and the king had a lot less resistance. Liu Wenxiu didn't have many generals in the first place, and as soon as he died, he responded to the saying that people go to tea and cool, and Liu Zhen could only hang there for generations.

Be kind, since Liu Wenxiu is dead, Liu Zhen should attack the knight, no matter how many soldiers and generals he has, don't be too snobbish, don't be untrustworthy, it will chill Liu Zhen's heart, and it will cool the hearts of others. This matter will be done sooner or later, but it is more advantageous for Zhu Yongxing to do it.

Zhu Yongxing had already made up his mind, and said to Liu Zhen with a smile: "The son of the world took the lead and beheaded the generals, and this credit will be recorded for the time being." When this battle is over and the merits are rewarded, Da Ming will have another young and promising county king! ”

This is said very directly, which is equivalent to deciding the matter of Liu Zhen's attack on the lord, but it will only take a while. Moreover, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, is not hereditary, and it is quite reasonable for Liu Zhen to be demoted to become the king of the county. Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and was immediately surrounded by the surprise that poured up, stood up, and thanked Zhu Yongxing.

Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to help Liu Zhen up, and after sitting down again, his eyes swept away, and seeing that Chen Sheng and the others had eager and envious looks in their eyes, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "The generals fought in battle, had the courage to serve the country, and made many meritorious contributions. ”

It was again a feudal official who made a wish, Chen Sheng and others boasted that they had served Zhu Yongxing for the longest time, and they had been fighting repeatedly since they sent troops to Gaoligong Mountain, which was very positive. Now that I have finally received a clear reward, everyone is happy in their hearts. Seeing that the Qing army had suffered heavy losses and victory was not far away, wouldn't Zhu Yongxing's promise soon become a reality.

"It's all the work of His Royal Highness, and the meager work of the last general, how dare you think about it." Chen Sheng is more able to speak, and after the generals get up, he will come forward to express his humility.

"Generals don't have to be humble, I have all the credit in my heart." Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to help him, and after everyone sat down again, he said in a deep voice: "This battle has been fought so far, our army should have a sixty percent chance of winning, but until the end of the day, we must not relax and underestimate the enemy, you must be careful to deal with it, and make persistent efforts!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured."

"We will definitely do our best to resist the enemy and live up to the hopes of His Highness."

"I will never dare to slack off and disappoint Your Highness."

Zhu Yongxing smiled on his chin, expressing his appreciation, and when everyone's words fell, he said again: "If this rain continues, our army can hold on, and the Qing army is tired, and most of them will retreat on their own; But if the rain stops and the sky is fine, I am worried that once the corpses of the Qing army on the hillside are exposed, our army may be in danger of plague. ”

Pestilence, everyone heard this word and changed color in horror. Thousands of miles of red land, skeletons strewn everywhere, they probably thought of such a tragic scene.

"Then, isn't the Qing army under the mountain more dangerous than our army?" Chen Yiyao's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to ask.

"That's true." Zhu Yongxing's face was solemn, "The corpse water and blood water have been flowing down the slope with the rain, which has polluted the streams and rivers below the mountain, and if you accidentally drink it, you will be infected with the plague." Listening to what the captives said, the Qing army had some precautions against this, but it was difficult to take care of it. ”

"Your Highness should leave this place immediately, the body of a thousand gold, the hope of China and foreign countries, there is no room for loss." Liu Zhen said eagerly: "Just leave me to hold on." ”

"That's not what I meant." Zhu Yongxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt the exhortations of the other generals, and said with a smile: "Our army is on the mountain, and the water is on this side of the mountain, so it will not affect it for the time being." I am only worried that the plague will spread through the air. ”

Air? The generals looked puzzled and didn't understand what airborne meant.

Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly, he didn't want to explain more, and it was difficult to explain the concepts of bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms to these people, so he diverted the topic, "I want to prepare in advance, one is to continue to stick to it; The second is to abandon this place and rush to leave this plague land. Well, it's just a crude idea, and I hope you will discuss and study it to see if it is feasible. ”

All the generals fell into thought, this place should be the last pass to Tengchong, the most dangerous, it is a pity to abandon it. Moreover, if the Qing army continued to advance, wouldn't the Ming army lose its geographical advantage, and it would not be so easy to win again, right?

Seeing that all the generals were silent, Zhu Yongxing also hesitated, and did not dare to make a decision easily. Although there are arrangements just in case, under the current relatively favorable circumstances, it is really necessary to continue to lure the enemy into the depths, and there is some suspicion of letting the tiger out of the mountain and asking for trouble. Of course, the surest victory is to persevere, and your lowest requirements have seen the dawn of success, so why be insatiable and take risks?
