As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Su had already made up his mind to go to the meeting, and everyone no longer spoke out against it. Just looked at Zhang Dingbian with a knife-like gaze. Zhang Dingbian didn't think it was angry at all, but laughed and said: "The Fifth Highness is very human!" is so courageous, not weak, Guan Yunchang went to the meeting alone! ”

"Fifth brother, have you thought clearly?" Zhu Di still hesitated. The commander had made up his mind that the others could no longer disagree under the military order, but he, as a brother, could say a few more words. "Now that Naha is the enemy, it is time to prioritize what is in front of him."

"After all, the matter of supporting Warat is not urgent, and it is good to let the ministers of the court do it in the future. Before we lead the troops now, we should make the battle in front of us our first priority. ”

"It is precisely because of the current war that I should go to the camp of the Warats more than once." Zhu Su said to Zhu Di. "For one, the strength of the Warat Department is not weak. If they really want to come and join in, it will be even more difficult for us. ”

"I'm going, maybe I'll be able to say that Warat won't be involved anymore. After all, Warat and Yuan Ting were already at odds. ”

"But if you don't go, Wara really sent a big soldier, as you said, fourth brother, even if I can transfer troops to calm the future, but before they are pacified, how much harm and suffering will the people and this land suffer?"

"Isn't it precisely because we want to stop these aliens that we are here to find a way to get involved with Naha's people? Otherwise, as long as you can't shrink like Guo Xing, don't care how they harm the people, burn the houses, and wait for General Xu Da to come with reinforcements? ”

"......" Zhu Di wanted to speak and stopped. He wanted to say that even if the people were persecuted by the Yuan army, they would not be as important as you, the fifth brother, who could know what was going to happen in the future. But when the words come to the mouth, they can't be spoken.

After all, this fifth brother values the people the most on weekdays. If he said this, not only could he not stop him, but it was very likely that he was even more determined to go to the meeting.

"Both." Zhu Su thought that Zhu Di was speechless, so he continued to speak. "Fourth brother, you say, you should take the current war as the first priority."

"You need to know that war is a continuation of politics and a means to achieve political goals. We are also risky here, and we want to achieve the political goal of 'protecting the people of Jizhen and resisting the destruction of Naha'. ”

"And the purpose of contacting Warat is more important than that. I don't think we should ignore the meeting with the Warat for the sake of the military today. This is undoubtedly an act of sacrificing the basics in politics. ”

"War, is it a continuation of politics?" As soon as Zhu Su said this, there was a sudden silence in the tent. Zhu Di was even more shocked, and muttered this sentence again.

At this time, Zhu Di only felt like an initiation.

As Zhu Di, who has loved military affairs since he was a child and knew that he was going to take charge of the Yan Domain and fight with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he has always had a question hidden in his heart, that is, how to balance the "army" and "government" in a place.

In his opinion, it is natural to focus on the "army", and it is best to fight as far as he can go on an expedition to Mobei. But he also knew in his heart that this would never work. He also had to put some of his efforts on "politics", otherwise he would inevitably be resisted and opposed by the court.

After all, in the eyes of the people at this time, the army is the army, and the government is the government. The two are not to be confused. Even in the minds of some scholars and scholars, war is "unkindness," a waste of money and food, a reckless use of force, and a manifestation of "anti-politics."

And his fifth brother actually said the view that "war is a continuation of politics". But the more Zhu Di touched it, the more he felt that it had a deep meaning. In the past, when I watched many war history books, some of the parts that I didn't understand as if I were in the chaos became clear.

"That's it, the fourth brother can't talk about you." Zhu Di shook his head helplessly. I wanted to convince this younger brother, but I didn't want to be persuaded by him.

"But I have been taught by you again, and since you have made up your mind, then you should do it."

"It's just that I'm going to go with me this time."

"Huh?" Zhu Su was stunned. Originally, I wanted to ask Zhu Di what he had been taught, but at this time, he didn't bother to ask, but he objected: "No, if the fourth brother is not there, who will decide everything in the camp?" ”

"There is nothing big in the camp, it's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it." Zhu Di said. "If you still don't feel at ease, you can let the second brother come here for some time, and it will be enough for Changli to hand over to Old Man Ru."

"I have learned a lot from you on this trip, and now that you are going to the enemy's meeting, there will definitely be something I can learn. Besides, as your brother, where can I know that my brother is going to be in danger, but my brother stays in a safe place? ”

"If you are ...... by your father was known by my father, and he will definitely deal with me by family law. ”

Speaking of the word "family law", Zhu Di didn't care about the occasion of being in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the whole person shivered excitedly, it seems that Lao Zhu's dragon boots and dragon belt have left an indelible impression in Zhu Laosi's young heart.

Zhu Su was amused when he saw it, and hurriedly coughed: "Since that's the case, then okay." The affairs of the camp will be handed over to Brother Chang for the time being, and you will go with me, Fourth Brother. ”

"And somewhere." At this time, Zhang Dingbian also spoke. He smiled heroically: "It is a certain family that wants His Royal Highness to attend the meeting, if a certain family does not go by itself, I am afraid that I will isolate myself from you." ”

"With Zhang Jushi on my side, I have no worries with my fourth brother." Zhu Su said in surprise. Zhang Dingbian is willing to go together, then this trip will really be fine. Mo said 500 Varat cavalry, just said 50,000, Zhu Su had no doubt that Zhang Dingbian would have the ability to take him and Zhu Di to fight out of the encirclement.

Everything is settled, and the generals know that it is useless to persuade again. Zhu Su and Zhu Di explained everything in the camp to Chang Mao and others one by one, and instructed them to return in three days, and then walked out of the camp with Zhu Di, Zhang Dingbian, Wu Ting, and the dogs around the personal guards. Zhu Di asked worriedly: "Fifth brother, do you really want to bring only ten people to the meeting?" ”

"Although I decided to go, there were only ten people, which was too dangerous. However, if there are many people, the Warat people may be reluctant to talk to us......" Speaking of this, Zhu Di was a little distressed.

"That's not right." Zhu Su smiled and rejected Zhu Di's opinion. "All negotiators, the right time and place, on and off the field, all kinds of factors can be our weight. Negotiations have actually begun now. ”

"The final meeting and negotiation is just a decisive battle, and our preparations and decisions now are actually conscription and drills before the duel between the two armies."

"How we respond to this demand of the Warat people is the first step in completing the negotiations. If it is true as they say, only ten men will be sent. Then the Warat people will inevitably think that we are weak and short-breathed, weak and deceitful, and when negotiating, we must kick our noses in the face. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was thoughtful for a while, and Wu Ting on the side said, "How many people is His Highness going to bring?" If we bring too many people, I'm afraid that the Warats will think that we don't have the sincerity to negotiate with them. Maybe they will think that we are going to take advantage of the situation to encircle them. ”

"I've thought about it." Zhu Su said. "Since they have brought five hundred horsemen, then we will also go with five hundred horsemen."

"If under the same number of people, those Warat people still dare not come forward to meet, such a timid person like a mouse, then it is not worthy of my great bothering to support."
