"Scared! Is it the crown prince in the city of Ruzhou? Liu Zongmin's loud voice shook the entire camp three times.

He was woken up by Tanma early in the morning, knowing that it was an urgent military situation, but he didn't expect it to be such an important news. Originally, there was a hesitation between Ruzhou City and Baisha Grain Depot, but now Ruzhou City has added another weight to the balance.

As Li Zicheng's right-hand man and one of the two generals, Liu Zongmin has always been the hammer in Li Zicheng's hand, but wherever there is a hard cane, his Liu character banner is definitely indispensable. One is that he is indeed capable and loyal, and the other is because he is decisive and has a broad vision.

Liu Zongmin's first thought was not to break the city and arrest the crown prince, so as to increase his weight in the camp. Although a group of small-character generals are gradually emerging now, they can only look up to his banner. The first thing that came to the mind of this general was the three currents of thought in the camp today: "appeasement", "lietu", and "being the emperor".

After the establishment of Xiangyang, more and more officials and gentry of the Zhu Dynasty joined the camp and mastered the civil yamen. Originally, everyone thought that military rations were nothing more than "robbing his mother", but now it seems that it is far from enough to rely on robbing, and sometimes they have to follow the rules of the official face. So these people seem to be giving a hand to the original old camp, but in fact, the weight of their words is getting heavier and heavier. It is many of these people who want to be appeased and continue to live their peaceful lives.

Most of the people who supported the king of Lietu Feng to specialize in one place were old men who followed Li Zicheng to kill officials and rebel in the early years. Now the situation has changed, and everyone is not like they didn't have food back then. After seeing the extravagant life of the princes and princes of the Zhu Dynasty, who doesn't want to enjoy the happiness while there is still a breath of air? Even if it's just a hundred miles, it's enough to pass on to future generations. If the fight continues, the old brother will have to lose some of it, and he will not be happy with anyone.

Even Li Zicheng himself has said several times: To be an emperor has to have that fate. And it's a toil. Look at the little emperor of the old Zhu family, he can't get any ideas at all, and his hands are full of people who are bluffing him. It's better to occupy a piece of land and be happy when everyone is happy, just like the Great Xia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty back then.

However, the emperor's throne exudes incomparable allure after all. There are also some officials and gentry of the original Zhu Dynasty, who are frightened day and night. I am deeply afraid that the officers and soldiers will break the camp and liquidate their crimes of "being thieves". This fear has developed to the extreme, that is, it is necessary to put Zhu Chao to death and establish a new dynasty. When the new dynasty is decided, not only do they not have to worry about being convicted, but they are also heroes from the dragon!

Of course, there are also people in the camp who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they just want to roar the Wuthering Mountains and forests across the world, or they want to subvert the world with their own strength. There are not many such people after all. It's just a private addiction.

Liu Zongmin suddenly thought of Gu Junen, that scholar came not early or late, and he had a twist at the beginning, but later he wanted Zhu Chao to fall down more than anyone else, and he came up with an idea, as if it was a rice jar that could not be taken out. There is also Niu Jinxing, who is the earliest military advisor to break into the camp, a figure like Zhuge Wolong. He also advocated that the marshal seize the world and become an emperor.

If you catch the crown prince yourself. Do you want the imperial court to give a governor of the four provinces? Or a different king? Or kill the sacrifice to the heavens?

Either way, it looks good.

Liu Zongmin touched his beard, bowed his head slightly, and said secretly: Why don't you go to fight Ruzhou?

"Report to the general!" Outside the big tent, the horses galloped over: "There are more troops in Ruyang County, and a lot of food and gunpowder have been transferred into Ruyang City, it seems that the official army is going to hold on!" ”

Liu Zongmin leaned forward: "Have you found out?" How many people are there? ”

"The defenders of Ruyang are nearly five thousand. There are only two thousand in Ruzhou City! ”

A deep voice burst through the door, followed by slightly vague footsteps. There are only a handful of people who can trespass into the Chinese army camp without being reported, and Liu Zongmin has not yet looked up to see his face, and has already exclaimed: "Why is Mr. Niu here!" ”

The person who came was Li Zicheng's mastermind, Niu Jinxing.

"The victory over the generalissimo's side has been decided. I don't have to stay there. Niu Venus has a thin yellow face, a slightly eagle-hooked nose, and likes to look up at people with his chin in his mouth, which looks quite gloomy. He untied the coat he was wearing and said, "I brought someone to help you identify the crown prince, but you can't let this fat sheep run away." ”

"The marshal knows?" Liu Zongmin was quite surprised. He also got the news not long ago, and Niu Jinxing sent by Li Zicheng has already arrived here, and it seems that there has been a rumor over there two days earlier.

"It's news from Beijing," Niu Jinxing said, "There is also a report from Ruzhou, which should be correct." ”

I see...... Liu Zongmin said secretly.

"Who did the gentleman bring?" Liu Zongmin asked.

"A man who knows the crown prince well." Niu Jinxing himself sat on the seat, not polite at all: "As long as Ruzhou City is defeated this time, I am not afraid that they will play a tanuki to change the prince." ”

"What about people?" Liu Zongmin didn't like the scribes selling guanzi, and asked.

"I'm fast, he's still behind." Niu Jinxing pursed his lips: "Is there hot tea?" Have a bowl. ”

Liu Zongmin waved his hand and ordered someone to pour tea for Niu Jinxing. Since the marshal has an order, it will save the entanglement and directly attack Ruzhou. However, Ruyang is in the northwest of Ruzhou, and since he has a heavy army, he has to be careful of his back road, and he still has to send men and horses to feint to contain it. Before Liu Zongmin walked to the map, the names of several of his generals and the transfer routes of various soldiers and horses had flashed in his mind.

……

"Fighting a war is a skillful job." Zhu Cihong said: "After playing a few more times and seeing more, the level will go up." Everything is foreseen, as long as you are prepared, who can catch you off guard? The art of war is cloudy: if you don't invite the banner of righteousness, don't hit the dignified array. Therefore, the most haode way is for our army to have a neat banner and a magnificent formation, which is naturally invincible and invincible. ”

Chen De followed Zhu Cihong's side, and said in his mouth: "What His Highness said is very true. Although his tone was sincere, his heart was on the military appearance of the guard camp of the East Palace. He knew that this guard battalion was only to protect the safety of His Royal Highness, as if he had helped the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Guard to prevent the epidemic in the Jingshi, and had never been on the battlefield. But these soldiers and sergeants clearly emitted a faint smell of blood, and they were definitely people who had seen blood.

Could it be that His Highness has found a group of bandits to be his guards? It may not be impossible to be a maverick governor, but what is the status of the crown prince, and how can he take such a risk? Even if the prince himself is willing, the subordinates of the Eastern Palace and the hundreds of officials in the court will not let him come so nonsense.

Chen De came back to his senses from the appearance of the guard battalion, and only then did he realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was showing his military thinking just now. He immediately responded: "Your Highness's words are very important in the art of war. "It's a point-and-spot routine. It's always right to give your boss a slap first. Chen De thought for a while and said: "Whether it is Qi Wuyi or Yu Wuxiang, they both pay attention to the dignified formation, which shows that everyone sees the same thing when using soldiers. ”

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were called "Yu Long Qi Hu", one of the two military gods of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and they were as invincible as Qi Jiguang. The "Art of War", "Guangxi Election of Soldiers", and "Datong Town's Military Vehicle Drills" are all standing books on Zhu Cihong's desk. Especially the "Exercises". In Zhu Cihong's view, it is a regular military book that is closer to the later "Code of Conduct".

"Yu Wuxiang is indeed a famous general." Zhu Cihong praised reservedly. According to the inertia of today's society, any unintentional praise or disparagement of the crown prince is likely to become the final conclusion of the coffin, or the direction of the imperial court, which makes Zhu Cihong have developed the habit of being cautious in words and deeds.

Especially Yu Dayou is different from Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang has no stain in his life, he can be said to be a tall and complete model of the Ming Dynasty, he can be a good soldier and a man, and finally was promoted to a national hero without dispute. Yu Dayou was implicated in Hu Zongxian, and he was released only because Lu Bing, then the commander of Jinyiwei, bribed Yan Song. In his later years, he had his ups and downs, and his achievements were difficult to appreciate. In the end, he died of depression, and his name behind him was not as deafening as Qi Jiguang.

"But as His Highness said," Chen De shook his head slightly, "It's a pity that it is difficult to see a famous general like Yu Long and Qihu in the world, otherwise how can the clown who jumps off the beam be rampant." ”

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Even if these two famous generals die and recover, they may not have the ability to support the building." ”

Chen De looked at Zhu Cihong in confusion.

Zhu Cihong paused and said, "Whether it is Qi Jiguang or Yu Dayou, they all take it as their responsibility to protect their families and the people. The idea is noble. Focus on the big picture. However, it is very rare for me to be able to tolerate their governors like Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun. "Speaking of which. Zhu Cihong went through the governors since Chongzhen in his mind, and found that the only one who could be considered worthy of the table was Hong Chengchou, who surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty.

As for Sun Chuanting, although he is also a capable official, he is still a little unqualified to be a one-sided feudal official-digging silver from a rich family must be done clean and not let people gossip, otherwise it will be a drink to quench his thirst. Self-destructive foundation. It's like Zhu Cihong is full of Chengguo, even if others see it? Is there any evidence? Sun Chuanting's "abuse of the people" may not be true, but it has caused a storm in the city.

"Also," Zhu Cihong diverted the topic, "who said that I can't produce a dragon and tiger general again?" Look at me. If Cao Cao was cultivated by someone at that time, he might not be able to become a generation of famous generals. It must be known that there are talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and now the times can create heroes. ”

Chen Delian should be.

Wu Weiye followed behind, and he was not at all interested in the military debate between the prince and Chen De, but he felt that today's military parade was really boring, just watching a group of people holding a staff to turn left and right, walking step by step, or simply standing like a wood and not moving. What is the use of learning this by an individual? Is it true that turning around will turn the thief to death?

Hearing Zhu Cihong say that "there are talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years", Wu Weiye suddenly woke up in his ears, as if he had drunk iced sugar water in the summer, and the 84,000 pores around his body were exhaled one after another, and he was refreshed. As a great poet who founded the sect in history, Wu Weiye's sensitivity to poetry and art is no less than Zhu Cihong's sensitivity to the management system. And the sentence that Zhu Cihong inadvertently introduced is also extraordinary, which is the famous sentence of Zhao Yi among the three families of Qianlong.

In the country of China, the mountains and rivers of words, the famous sentences that can be passed down to future generations, which one is given for free? Especially in the Qing Dynasty, although there was a great revival of poetry, the literary education of later generations was still dominated by satirical novels, and only a few well-known figures were named, and Zhao Yi was able to be in it, which is enough to prove his high status.

What's more, Wu Weiye's seven-character song style had a great influence on the Qing people, and was known as the "Meicun style". is Zhao Yi, the original creator of "Coquettish for Hundreds of Years", who was also deeply influenced by Wu Weiye, and commented on Wu Shi: "Writing the current recent events in the tone of the Tang Dynasty, the sect is both correct and rich, and it has to be everyone in modern times." ”

Although these two people have been separated by hundreds of years, they are definitely their own people. Zhu Cihong spit out such a sentence casually, which really shocked Wu Meicun's heart, which was refreshing, and quite a sense of bosom friend in the poem. In the past, he only thought that the crown prince wrote well, and never knew that the prince was good at poetry, but now he listens to this casual couplet, but he has to work hard for decades to practice words and sentences, he is really a god!

"Your Highness," Wu Meicun cleared his throat, "Jiangshan's sentence is both high-style, unrestrained and not arrogant, it is really a good work, can it be completed?" ”

Zhu Cihong is a pragmatist, and he does not care about poetry, which is a thing that cultivates sentiment and enriches Chinese textbooks. He had the intention to cultivate Chen De, and he wanted to hear the views and perceptions of this young guerrilla on the use of soldiers, but he was pulled into the poems by Wu Weiye, and couldn't help but say coldly: "I forgot where the poems of the ancients appeared." ”

At present, there is no omniscient search engine, reading is really a matter of chance, even the rich and wealthy Bangyanlang does not dare to say that he has read all the poetry collections of ancient and modern times. Wu Weiye was poured a basin of cold water by the prince, and he wanted to ask who wrote it and which poetry collection it was recorded in, but looking at Zhu Cihong's cold face, he finally held back.

Chen De glanced at Wu Weiye, and said secretly in his heart: I heard that this is the Bangyanlang of Huangbang High School, and he has been favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and has been following the prince to write, but the horse kung fu is sparse and usually tight. Since you are a literati, you should help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pass on his literary name, how can you boast it in person? It's so bad at being a human being.

"Hehe, the last general is really a rough man, to Wu Shuzi to say this, and then carefully reminisce, these two sentences are really ...... It's really memorable! Chen De followed Wu Weiye's steps and flattered.

Who knew that when these words came out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face was just slightly cold, and then it became gloomy.

Zhu Cihong said unhappily: "You are still young, instead of learning from Qi Jiguang, it is better to learn from Yu Wuxiang." ”

The smile on Chen De's face froze, his mind was like electricity, and he reacted instantly, his face was red with shame like a drop of blood, his hands were clenched, and his nails were pierced into the flesh.

Qi Jiguang's behavior is far inferior to Yu Dayou.

Zhu Cihong shook his hand, walked in front, and crossed a road, which was another school field. As soon as I entered the school grounds, I heard the sound of whining wind. If you look closely, it turns out that a team of spearmen is exercising, and the ash pole spear just makes such a sound from the front stab, which shows that the drill is excellent.

Standing in front of this team of spearmen with a gun was Min Zhanlian. (To be continued......)
