Chapter 18: The Protégé

What is called the return of the destiny, the return of the destiny is actually the same as the so-called film and television works of later generations, it is purely a fool, if there is any similarity, it must be a coincidence. In the Northern Army, although King Yan has been fooling around, telling everyone the belief that he will win, but the time, place and people are all on the side of the court, in the eyes of King Yan, even he doesn't believe in the word victory.

But now, this guy named Hao Fenglou believes it.

Hao Fenglou said bluntly: "First: Yanwang Town Beiping, the soldiers under his command are all tigers and wolves, and no one can stop them. And the imperial court army and horses have been slack for a long time, even if they are ten times that of the northern army, they are unbearable. ”

Zhu Di nodded his head, and said in his heart that this person still has some knowledge.

Hao Fenglou said: "Second: His Royal Highness is known for his great ambitions, being kind as a stream, and being a virtuous corporal. And when today's son is fortunate to be corrupt, and most of the people in the DPRK are pedantic scholars who only know how to shake their heads, such people are not to worry. ”

Zhu Di glanced at Hao Fenglou appreciatively, and felt that it was very reasonable, he looked down on those ministers in the court.

Hao Fenglou continued: "Moreover, the Son of Heaven seems to have won the hearts of the people, but the Son of Heaven cut the feudal domain, and violated the golden rule set by Emperor Taizu at the instigation of the villain, so that the clansmen of the world are not in danger, and the people's hearts are lost. ”

When he said this, Zhu Di glanced at the monk beside him in shock, and a trace of doubt passed in the monk's eyes.

Because these words were the first strategist around Zhu Di, that is, the reason why the monk Yao Guangxiao persuaded Zhu Di to be difficult, Yao Guangxiao analyzed the advantages and disadvantages in order to increase Zhu Di's confidence, and Zuihou came to the conclusion that he would win.

But now, Hao Fenglou, this guy, is exactly the same as Yao Guangxiao. How did they know that Hao Fenglou's analysis was based on the conclusion of hindsight. In the eyes of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, it is rare for an ordinary son of a Jiangnan family to have such vision and logical analysis ability.

Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and Hao Fenglou's performance was really a bit demonic.

Yao Guangxiao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's a good point." ”

Hao Fenglou said modestly: "Where, where, this is just a superficial understanding of students. ”

Yao Guangxiao vomited blood, your superficial understanding coincides with the poor monk, this means that the poor monk only has the level of your superficial understanding?

Fortunately, Yao Guangxiao never had the heart of fame and fortune, but said with a smile: "Then the poor monk will take the school examination again, and now that the Yan army has crossed the river, Nanjing is right now, but there are 100,000 garrisons in Nanjing, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, what should you do if you want to seize Nanjing?" ”

Zhu Di also cheered up and wanted to hear how Hao Fenglou answered.

Hao Fenglou said: "So Nanjing can't be attacked." ”

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and said, "Oh? Can't attack? ”

Hao Fenglou said: "With King Yan's military horses, if they can't be conquered for a long time, their morale will definitely be low, and the students heard that the Son of Heaven has sent ministers to recruit troops everywhere and enter King Qin, if His Royal Highness King Yan can't conquer for a long time, morale is low, and the army of King Qin from all walks of life has arrived, what should King Yan do?" ”

Zhu Di gasped and looked at Yao Guangxiao.

Just now, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao had formulated a strategy to seize Nanjing, and both of them thought that it was not appropriate to use force against Nanjing City, for the same reason as Hao Fenglou said, once the stalemate continued, the Yan army would be defeated.

The problem is that King Yan has fought more battles than eaten in his life, and it is natural to have this vision. And Yao Guangxiao has learned the art of belly black all his life, and he is the first adviser under King Yan's account, so he should have such insight.

But Hao Fenglou is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the age of the weak crown is still a little worse, how can he have such insight?

Yao Guangxiao didn't have much grace at this time, and couldn't help but say: "Since you can't attack by force, how can you seize it?" ”

Hao Fenglou felt that this pair of guys was really shameless, and he was going to take out all his hole cards in a few words.

Yao Guangxiao saw his doubts and thought that he had nothing to do, so he smiled and said: "If you have a good plan, the poor monk is willing to accept you as an apprentice." ”

Yao Guangxiao really loves talents, because this young man is so smart, he feels very much like his younger self.

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "What's the benefit of being your apprentice?" ”

blurted out a question, and immediately exposed Hao Fenglou's nature, Hao Fenglou felt that he regretted it, his mouth was cheap, how could he ask such a thing at this juncture?

Zhu Di smiled, patted his thigh, and said: "He is the lone king's mentor and friend, you become his disciple, and the lone king will treat you like a nephew!" ”

This sentence was obviously not said to Hao Fenglou, but to Yao Guangxiao, not to say whether this sentence is true or false, but Zhu Di's words suddenly made Yao Guangxiao's face red, what is this, this is the feeling of leadership attention, and the leadership attaches importance not by a few sentences, but by inadvertently admiring himself.

But in Hao Fenglou's opinion, Zhu Di's appearance is really a little different from his butcher's appearance, and Zhu Di is very good at winning people's hearts. One sentence can make an old fox like Yao Guangxiao die for him.

"Okay, that's a deal." Hao Fenglou simply let go, and muttered, "But I have to think about it first." ”

Zhu Di seemed very generous: "Listen to it." ”

The water in the copper basin was already a little cold, Zhu Di ordered someone to withdraw the water, and everyone passed back their boots, Hao Fenglou tried hard to recall the experience of Jing Nan in his heart, and after getting the result of Jing Nan, he began to think about how to improve this result.

It's like having a puzzle where you already know the answer, but it's not enough to know the answer, you have to come up with the process of solving the problem.

And Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao called someone to serve tea, holding the tea cup and blowing tea foam, but they looked at each other from time to time, they obviously didn't believe that Hao Fenglou could come up with the most haode strategy, and the reason why they asked was just to give birth to the idea of taking the school examination to see how much level this young man could reach.

After a stick of incense, Hao Fenglou suddenly rose up and said, "Your Highness should not move." ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "Why? ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Because to break Nanjing, it does not depend on which is strong or weak, but on psychology. His Royal Highness King Yan led the army south, all the way like a bamboo, which has made the people of Nanjing panic, and now that the army is coming to the city, Nanjing must have been in chaos. If the city is attacked at this time, once it falls into a bitter battle, it will make the civil and military officials in the city hate the same enemy, and the Yan army is tired. However, if the troops do not move, the city will see the Yan army coming, and they don't know the depth of the Yan army, and they will be panicked. ”

To put it bluntly, this is deterrence, putting a knife on the necks of the monarchs and ministers in Nanjing City, although King Yan knows that the Yan army has become the end of a strong crossbow after fighting for thousands of miles, but as long as the Yan army is here, it is enough to frighten others.

Zhu Di nodded his head and said, "Is it just standing still?" ”

Hao Fenglou smiled and said: "Of course not, the Yan army does not move, the people in the city are panicking, at this time the trees fall and the macaques are scattered, it is the opportunity that His Royal Highness King Yan can take advantage of, King Yan can order spies to sneak into the city, buy the city's Chinese military officials, and cooperate inside and outside." ”

Zhu Di was stunned.

He was really shocked this time, the inside and the outside should be together, it was originally the arrangement of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao. In fact, after taking Zhenjiang, they had already agreed on this jihua, but they never thought that Hao Fenglou actually thought of it.

coincidence, pure coincidence.
