"If only I hadn't found out that you were a traverser that day." Zhu Di leaned on the city bricks at the city tower and watched a glimmer of light gradually light up in the sky.

"Since I found out about that, I have never dared to face my eldest brother, and my father has become more and more jealous of me......"

"Whether I will have a chance to lead the troops in the future, and I will say twice. Even if there is ......" he looked at Zhu Su with a dejected expression, "I think I can't compare to you......"

"Can't beat me?" Zhu Su was stunned.

"Not bad." Zhu Di nodded emphatically. "Although I am familiar with military books...... But after arriving in Suzhou City, I realized that all the things I knew were just a piece of paper. ”

"You put the lantern to pay tribute to the people, and break the hearts of the people of Suzhou from the Zhang family back to my Zhu family. and a mere song of 'lime chanting' to inspire the hearts of the whole city...... In fact, by this time, Suzhou was already in an invincible position. ”

"But I didn't expect you to plan to annihilate the enemy army a long time ago...... I, I usually claim to be the most knowledgeable soldier among my brothers, but I only think about how to defend the city...... Compared to you, it's far from it. Speaking of this, Zhu Di was full of shame.

Zhu Su suddenly realized that Zhu Di was because he knew about the "Jing Nan", and he had a demon in his heart, worried that Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao would treat him as a thief, so he became cautious and did not dare to slack off for a day.

And because he came to Suzhou City, he found that the "military strategy" that he was most proud of on weekdays was completely useless, so his confidence was hit......

"Fourth brother, you should lift your spirits." Zhu Su hugged Zhu Di's shoulders. "Actually, those thieves are not worth mentioning. Compared with the big battles you fought in history, which of those rabble outside the city is enough to shine? ”

"I just relied on the way of foresight, and I know the preciousness of the people's will, and I understand that those rabble, as long as the people's will is there, I will definitely win and be undefeated...... As for thinking about the total annihilation of the thieves, it is because we have different ideas. ”

"What's the difference?" Zhu Di was aroused.

"Because I know that war is not only war, war is a continuation of politics!" Zhu Su said.

"War...... Is it a continuation of politics? Zhu Di frowned, he felt as if something flashed in his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he was in a fog, as if there was nothing.

"Yes. This is a theory of later generations: the initiation and existence of war should serve a certain political goal. Zhu Su explained.

"Fourth brother, let me ask you, from ancient times to the present, why some warring countries have become richer and stronger the more they fight, such as Qin annihilating the Six Kingdoms; And some wars are considered to be reckless, such as the Sui destroying Goguryeo? ”

"That's not easy." Zhu Di waved his hand. "Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms is a victory, and Sui's annihilation of Goguryeo is a defeat, so how can it be compared ......"

"Definitely." Zhu Su shook his head, "The battle of Linyi at the time of the Sui Dynasty, the fourth brother knows, right?" ”

"Then in your eyes, fourth brother, is the battle of Sui's attack on Linyi a victory or a defeat?"

"The battle of Sui attacking Linyi?" Zhu Di thought for a moment. "If it is said that it is the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo, it must be negative. But in the battle of the Sui attack on Linyi, the Sui army was invincible, and the enemy broke the city, which should be regarded as a victory...... Right? ”

"Since it was won, why is the battle of Sui's attack on Linyi still considered by later generations to be a reckless force?" Zhu Su is seductive. "Although the enemy broke the city, the battle was invincible...... However, the Sui Dynasty dispatched more than 10,000 foot riders, and the consumption of grain and grass was incalculable. After taking Linyi, he immediately withdrew his troops...... After the Sui army withdrew, the Linyi royal family reoccupied the original place. ”

"On the other hand, the Sui Dynasty spent money and food, not to mention not an inch of land wealth, and when the army returned, it lost five or six tenths of its wealth due to the plague...... How can it be said that you have won without the slightest benefit? ”

"But at least the prestige of the Celestial Empire ......has been raised," Zhu Di was a little unconvinced.

"That's true, but this time the prestige was exchanged for food, grass, military equipment, and soldiers' lives. It did damage the vitality of the Sui Dynasty. Zhu Su opened his left hand and then his right hand: "Why, can't I have benefits and victories, I want them all?" ”

"Benefits, victories, all wanted?" Zhu Di was thoughtful.

"For example, this time the thieves attacked the city...... We have long since realized that it is easy to defeat them in the city. Zhu Su continued to explain. But even if they are defeated, what good can they be? After the thieves scattered and plundered the common people, they made a comeback the following year......"

"The people are suffering, and it's not our Ming who is in trouble? In that case......"

"In this case, it is better to find a way to set up an ambush to annihilate them, and at the same time protect the people, it can also make the Zhang family destroy their reputation, and they can also kill chickens and monkeys, so that other Japanese robbers dare not come to attack......" Zhu Di finally understood, his eyes flashed brightly, and he opened his palms like Zhu Su, and then grabbed it heavily:

"Since victory can be guaranteed, then think about how to maximize the benefits, this is the so-called victory, benefits, I have to ...... them all"

"That's right, whether or not you have gained enough benefits is the best way to judge whether it is a reckless force." Zhu Su said with a smile. "Fourth brother, you are not as good as me in military strategy, but you just didn't think about it."

"As long as you think of this layer, you can naturally think of those methods."

"Not bad!" Zhu Di's eyes were still shining. "I'm going to ...... them all Old Five, I just learned it today, this is the real battle formation method! ”

"Alas, I just don't know if my father will give me the opportunity to lead the troops in the future......"

"Five expeditions to Mobei, this is a rare achievement in the past and present......"

"I'd love to experience it for myself!" Zhu Di's face was yearning.

Looking at Zhu Laosi's expression, Zhu Su knew that Zhu Di's confidence had been regained. It's just that in his heart, he is still worried that the consequences of the day will really lead the troops, which will cause the jealousy of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

I still have to find a way to arouse the pride hidden in the chest of this Yongle Emperor.

"Hey, what is the Five Expeditions to Mobei, are you so yearning?" The decision has been made, and Zhu Su deliberately put on a disdainful look. "Fourth brother, your horizons are still a little narrower. Your five expeditions to Mobei have also wasted a lot of people's fat and ointment...... In later generations, many people criticized that your five expeditions to Mobei will do more harm than good, and you will lose money and labor! ”

"If it weren't for your big fat son Zhu Gaochi to stabilize your livelihood, how could there be any Yongle Emperor......"

"What?" Zhu Di was still immersed in the pride fantasy of sealing the wolf in the future, and his eyes were suddenly glared at him by these words, and his neck was thick: "Five expeditions to Mobei...... Is it militarism? ”

"Which descendant of the rabbit cub said that? See if I don't kill his ancestors first! ”

"There are a lot of people who say that." Zhu Su rolled his eyes. "Besides, in this vast sea of people, you can't find who is their ancestor. Can you still beat all these tens of thousands of Ming people? ”

"That'...... Then they can't say that. Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. The five expeditions to Mobei to promote the prestige of our country are also unique among the emperors, right? Count and count, it is also Emperor Wu of Han during the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of Tang during the Tang Dynasty......"

"Old Five, you say, which emperor in the future can fight such a high-raising battle?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, he compared himself to the Han Wu Tang Sect, this Zhu Laosi is really thick-skinned, Zhu Su secretly rolled his eyes.

It seems that this guy is not less worried about his martial arts in the future in private.

After thinking about it, Zhu Su rolled his eyes and decided to set up a grand goal for Zhu Laosi:

"Although there is no future life, there is still a future!"

"Fourth brother, do you know the legendary king of the Macedonian Empire, Alexander the Great?"
