Chang Mao and Di Meng led Zhu Su and went directly to the camp commander's tent. Zhu Su saw that the soldiers in the school field were in a team of more than ten people, holding various weapons. Among them, the two soldiers holding "bamboo" on both sides are the most eye-catching. Under the stirring of human figures, knife shadows, and bamboo shadows, the entire school field was dusty.

"This 'Mandarin Duck Array' looks like it has been practiced." Zhu Suxi said.

"It's just that, Brother Chang, why are your family's guards also wearing heavy armor and practicing the Mandarin Duck Formation in it?"

Zhu Su saw that in the crowd, there were several soldiers in red clothes and black armor. He was wearing heavy armor, but he was also holding a big wolf whisk, waving and shouting. This kind of dress is the pro-soldier of the Guogong Mansion brought by Chang Mao.

"Oh. Although most of our personal soldiers are cavalry, since they have come here, they also have to practice foot combat. Chang Mao smiled.

"In the realm of Jiangnan, there is no place for cavalry. Moreover, this mandarin duck array is a tactic that even Xu Shuai and Cao Guogong (Li Wenzhong) admire. How can we not learn from him? ”

"As for why you wear heavy armor...... Wearing heavy armor and dancing like this, if you don't have this burden, wouldn't it be even more tiger and tiger when you dance? ”

"It's no problem to beat ten of the rest of the bunnies at a time! Our old Chang family's soldiers can't lose to these guards in Suzhou Mansion! ”

Chang Mao said, a pair of tiger eyes swept the Suzhou Wei officer next to him. Those Suzhou Wei officers seemed to be quite afraid of him, but nodded in agreement.

Zhu Su's heart moved slightly, thought about it, and pulled Chang Mao aside. Lowered his voice:

"Brother Chang, are you worried about these Suzhou guards?"

"The Fifth Highness is really smart." Chang Mao's eyes froze, and he glanced at Zhu Su appreciatively. also said in a low voice: "That's right, we often don't worry about these bird soldiers under Zhang Shicheng." ”

Chang Mao turned his head to look at the soldiers of the Suzhou Guard, and his eyes flashed with distrust. The Suzhou Wei generals seemed to be aware of it, and they lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to look directly at them.

"Although Your Highness the Five, you let us train them. But who knows, among these people, any of them have a backbone in the back of their heads? ”

"The prince and sister-in-law (Crown Princess Chang's) have told us thousands of instructions to entrust your safety to us, and we have to find ways to keep you safe. Your Highness wants to use these thousand soldiers, let's practice with all our hearts. But we also have to consider the final way out. ”

"Our guards are more ruthless than these bird soldiers! In case these bird soldiers really dare to rebel, with this lance in our hands, as well as these good sons, it is enough to protect His Highness to fight a bloody road! ”

"Actually, from our point of view, we shouldn't have taught them the tactics of this mandarin duck array!"

Listening to Chang Mao's sincerity, Zhu Su couldn't help but be moved. Although this young Zheng Guogong is not as steady and resourceful as his father, his loyalty and courage are average.

It's just that he missed the overall situation, no wonder in the future of the original timeline, he would pull out a knife and cut Naha when he disagreed with the banquet.

You must know that at that time, Naha, who had 200,000 soldiers and civilians, did not surrender for a day, and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to free up his hands to deal with the Northern Yuan court for a day. It took Lao Zhu decades of hard work to successfully shake Nahachu's confidence in the Yuan Court. And Chang Mao's knife almost caused Naha to surrender and rebel, almost ruining the imperial court's operation of Liaodong for decades.

"Brother Chang." Zhu Su said seriously: "I understand your concern, and I am very grateful in my heart. ”

"It's just...... If we show rejection to them, won't they also turn away from us? ”

"When the time comes to really use them...... I'm afraid it's embarrassing and useful. ”

"But they are Zhang Shicheng's surrender. Even Yang Lu can't trust them......" Chang Mao argued.

"What if the army is surrendered or not? Our Ming Dynasty has a million armor, and it is not all the old team of our father when he started the army in the past. Zhu Su Wensheng analyzed for Chang Mao. It is precisely because they are surrendering that it is easier to teach people to believe. ”

"They have betrayed Zhang Shicheng once, do they dare to betray me again? If I were Zhang Shicheng's remnant, I would definitely hate these surrendered troops who had betrayed Zhang Shicheng even more, and I would like to kill them as soon as possible. ”

"If I treat them harshly, I will force them to rebel."

"Then he said that the former Marshal Chang, the soldiers under his command, didn't they have soldiers? It was because of Marshal Chang's bearing and open-mindedness that he convinced these people, so they were willing to rush to the death for Chang Shuai! ”

Hearing Zhu Su mention his deceased father, Chang Mao couldn't help but be solemn. Originally, he was still a little unconvinced, but Zhu Su said it with Chang Yuchun, and Chang Mao also felt reasonable.

His tone was a little frustrated: "We have straight intestines, although we also have the intention of being a marshal like our father." But we can't always be like our father, we can't do these twists and turns to buy people's hearts. ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about what he wants to do. We don't have to say anything. ”

Looking at his expression, he really listened. Zhu Su said a few more words to Chang Mao, and then the two returned to the crowd together. "Just now this king and Chang Guogong said some relatives and themselves, but they snubbed the generals."

"Don't blame you for a long time."

"Don't dare! Can't! Several generals were surprised and terrified. With a kind smile on his face, Zhu Su beckoned everyone to sit down in the handsome tent. After a while, everyone sat down in their seats.

"I don't know what the generals call them?" Zhu Su asked.

"Back to Your Highness, the villain is Cao Yuan, the Wei Qianhu of Suzhou."

"The villain is a hundred households."

"The villain is used by a hundred cattle families."

"The villain is a hundred households......"

A thousand households and several hundred households reported their names one by one, Zhu Su did not have the slightest patience, and sat on the top to observe the expressions of these generals. I saw that most of these generals were younger, and Cao Yuan, who was the leader, had a slightly pale face, and seemed to be always uneasy, looking cautious.

Many others are like this, not like generals on the battlefield, but more like people who are used to being bullied.

"General Cao...... Participated in the Battle of Pingjiang in the past? Zhu Su asked.

Qianhu Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed out a touch of sycophancy with some self-deprecation. "Back to Your Highness."

"The little one did participate in the Battle of Pingjiang. It was the little ones who were blinded by lard, and they actually followed the anti-king Zhang Shicheng to resist my big soldiers......"

"Hey." Zhu Su quickly interrupted him. "General Cao, stay. But this king is not here to humiliate the generals and turn over old accounts. ”

"This king is just curious...... Looking at General Cao's age, he is not too old, and during the Battle of Pingjiang, he was afraid that he was not yet a weak crown. ”

"Could it be...... Is there something going on? ”

Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, raised his head sharply to look at Zhu Su, and realized that Zhu Su was giving them a chance to win their trust, and the whole person trembled slightly.

This prince seems to be different from Yang Lu and that Zheng Guogong and others!
