Chapter 371: The Strong Enemy Is Still Serving
This night, Zhang Yuyi did not take off his armor, stayed awake all night, and personally guarded outside the Chinese army tent of Zhu Su and Zhu Di. When Zhu Su and Zhu Di woke up on the second day, Zhang Yu was still in good spirits and greeted the two. It wasn't until Zhu Su and the others finished eating the morning meal, and Di Meng came to change shifts with King Wu's personal guards, that Zhang Yufang went down to rest.
Looking at his departing back, Zhu Di praised: "This person has the style of the late Tang Wei Chi Gong." ”
"Fifth brother, although your method is a bit risky, the results are really remarkable. I look at that jade, and it has already been effective in the heart of death. When this matter spreads in the surrender camp today, these tens of thousands of surrendered troops will also return to their hearts. Zhu Di turned his head to look at Zhu Su. You have the demeanor of a father! ”
This strategy Zhu Su is indeed the wisdom of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the past, when Lao Zhu was fighting the world, he once subdued Chen Zhaoxian and his 30,000 soldiers. The 30,000 soldiers thought that they were not Lao Zhu's descendants, so they were suspicious.
At that time, Lao Zhu let the newly descended Chen Zhao stay outside the tent first, and then slept peacefully all night.
This is equivalent to directly telling these soldiers: We trust you so much that we dare to entrust our lives in the hands of your generals, what else do you have to worry about?
The 30,000 surrendered soldiers were all doubts and completely integrated into Lao Zhu's descendant army. Since then, Chen Zhaoxian has been the first in every battle, not avoiding life and death. In the end, he even died on Poyang Lake.
"Risky? Dad dared to let Chen Zhao stay in the guard in the past, that was an adventure. This time, we are completely sure. Zhu Su calmly sat behind the table and wrote a fan, and replied casually. In last night's "absolutely trusting" performance, if Zhu Di does have some "acting" factors, then he Zhu Su is completely revealing his true nature, and he is not the slightest worried that Zhang Yu will rebel.
History has proved that Zhang Yu is not a disciple of the Qin Dynasty, so what is there to be afraid of? In the previous history, Zhang Yu was mixed into the privy council of the Yuan court, and after the Ming Dynasty, he was able to die generously for Zhu Di in the Battle of Jingjing, which shows that he has no sense of belonging to Da Yuan.
And now before he submitted, he was just a deputy general, and Dayuan at this time could be said to have neither grace nor virtue for him. And what reason can make him return to the source?
Along the way, Zhu Su has been very good at analyzing and guessing the thoughts and actions of these historical figures through historical records, and relying on them to prescribe the right medicine and plan before acting.
Although he never thought that his wisdom could be better than that of the "ancients", he was able to barely "know himself and his opponent and not be defeated in a hundred battles" by relying on the massive historical data in his mind to travel through welfare. At least so far, I haven't missed a shot yet.
Therefore, he is also very confident that his move to surrender the army to defend the Chinese army is a good deal without any risk and can obtain great benefits.
The surrendered troops were in the Chinese army, so they were worried all night. In their opinion, it was impossible for His Highness the Ming Dynasty to trust their original enemies so much. But after one night, there was neither "the Ming army deliberately setting up an ambush to kill", nor "waking up in the morning to find that they were under siege".
When Zhang Yu, who was the main general, came back and asked, he learned that the two highnesses not only did not have the golden cicada shelled to the front army or the rear army as they guessed, but they also slept defenselessly under their heavy "surroundment", and even Zhang Tou'er stood outside the door of the two highnesses with a knife without the slightest guard.
The soldiers couldn't help but be greatly moved: it turned out that the two highnesses trusted us so much, regarded us as their descendants, and could even entrust life and death!
As this matter spread in the army, ten or ten, in just one day, this army of 20,000 people was completely subdued by Zhu Su and Zhu Di.
A few days later, Cao Yuan, who was in the front army, temporarily retreated and repaired, and Zhu Di ordered Zhang Yu to lead 20,000 newly surrendered kings to replace Cao Yuan and confront Naha's army. Zhang Yu responded to the order, and the soldiers did not waver in the face of Naha's persuasion and threats to send out the army.
"The front line is secured." In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Su, Zhu Di, Chang Mao, Zhang Dingbian and other generals sat around the map and listened to Di Meng's report on the current situation.
"Nahachu began to scatter small forces again, intending to rob the people of the food. But the people of Jizhen have been robbed several times, and I don't think there will be anything to be gained by coming to Naha this time. Moreover, the affairs of subduing the Ming army of Jizhen are progressing very smoothly, and driven by those wounded soldiers who have healed, the recognition of the Ming army of Jizhen is increasing day by day. ”
"I think in a few days, I will have enough troops to be able to intercept the small force sent by Naha."
The matter of recovering the hearts of the Ming army in Jizhen could go so smoothly, which was actually beyond Zhu Su's expectations. Originally, he thought that although he forcibly seized the military power of Gongchang Hou Guo Xing through tough means, Guo Xing had been operating in Jizhen for a long time after all, and he was likely to use his influence to make stumbling blocks and drag his feet.
But Guo Xing actually took 5,000 cronies and soldiers directly after "recuperating from his injuries" for a few days, and left here for Shuntian. It seems that he has expected that Zhu Su and the others will definitely be wiped out, so they don't want to participate in this quagmire anymore, but are ready to work with Fu Youde of Shuntian Mansion to pull up the second line of defense to block the footsteps of Naha's troops to attack Shuntian.
In this regard, Zhu Su also breathed a long sigh of relief. Although Guo Xing took away 5,000 generals. But without these Guo Xing's cronies, he helped himself and directly made room for his own cronies, so that he could grasp the military power faster.
Seeing that the generals' faces were relaxed, Zhu Su spoke: "You must not slack off, this is not the time to relax. ”
"According to this king, there are still two major crises in our future."
"One of them is Naha and Shanyang Wanhu. Don't look at the fact that we successfully rescued Gong Changhou under their siege before, but in real terms, the strength of Shanyang Wanhu is not a big problem; Although the Naha detachment was defeated and injured by the Ming army of Jizhen, because it in turn swallowed the heavy grain and grass hoarded in Jianchang, it had the ability to fight for a long time. ”
The two have not yet come to their senses, and they are not in agreement with each other. If they reach a consensus, they will fight back against us with all their might. That's when the fierce war begins. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were all pale. If Naha is completely merged with Shanyang Wanhu, it will be extremely difficult for his people to resist.
Everyone in the tent was silent, all thinking hard about how to break the enemy. But it was obviously extremely difficult, and a group of people tried hard to come up with a single barely feasible plan.
At this moment, Chang Mao spoke: "What is the second crisis?" ”
"The second crisis is...... Our army will run out of rations. Zhu Su's tone was solemn. Our army's military rations have been able to be used until now because they are supplemented by the military rations that were not spent by Na'er, who was robbed earlier. But in a few days, this part of the military rations will also be exhausted. ”
"We have no choice but to wait for Zhang He at sea to be able to deliver military rations in time." Zhu Su said.
