Although Zhu Yuanzhang is the leader of everyone, he treats everyone well on weekdays. But he cares more about the interests of himself and his children. If he had a choice, he would not hesitate to choose to sacrifice others to protect the interests of his family.

Just like in the official history, after the death of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, he used several major cases to eradicate Huaixi Xungui and pave the way for Zhu Yunwen. Although in the end, this matter went too far and let Zhu Di pick peaches, but at least their Zhu family's country was saved.

At present, if everyone agrees to surrender, then Zhu Yuanzhang will also agree to come down without saying a word, "reluctantly" and "for everyone's sake". After that, I went to negotiate the conditions with Zhang Wuji. That is, the feudal marquis is too low, and he sacrifices his territorial soldiers and horses, and he must start as a duke and strive for a little more benefit for himself.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this matter could pass like this.

Hu Weiyong, who has always pretended to be smart, stepped forward at this time and said: "Back to the top, if we fight with all our might, then our army is 100% sure that it can win." ”

Hearing Hu Weiyong's astonishing words, everyone looked at him in unison. Even Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at him and asked, "100,000 against 600,000, how can you be sure of victory?"

Tang He also frowned at this time and said, "Yes, Master Hu!" There was no joke before the ascendancy. Moreover, this is a major event of military aircraft that affects the whole body. We still have to think twice. You're a little bit of that." Tang He wanted to say "nonsense", but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

Li Shanchang also said at this time: "Yes, Wei Yong, this is not a joke. Where can we be 100% sure? ”

Hu Weiyong said at this time: "Of course we are 100% sure. Listen to me slowly. First, Mingzun attacked Zhang Shicheng and the army of King Ruyang this time, and this time it will be a decisive battle that will determine the future direction of the situation in the world. You can imagine what would happen if Mingzun had won? ”

Li Shanchang thought about it at this time and said: "Naturally, he took advantage of the situation of the Northern Expedition to smash the Yellow Dragon, and took advantage of the defeat of the Yuan Court to completely drive out the Mongols. ”

Hu Weiyong continued: "That's it. Although the Mongols were defeated, the hundred-legged insects died but did not stiffen. The father and son of the king of Ruyang are not idle people. If the situation is not good, then it must be to abandon Zhang Shicheng, so as to shrink the army to fortify with Mount Tai, trying to keep half of the country north of the Yellow River. ”

"As long as the Mongols are still around, then Mingzun will not have the extra strength to do anything against us, after all, the larger the land he occupies, the more garrison troops will be consumed. As he fought, he captured the lost territory regained by the guards, and it would not be long before his 800,000-strong army would be consumed by the captured cities. ”

"And if you want to completely digest the results of the battle and restore order, it will also take a lot of time. Then he will have no energy to do anything to us, and he will reassure us even though he is on his back. This is the consequence of his failure to eliminate us in the first place. ”

After Hu Weiyong said that, Li Shanchang, Tang He and everyone said, "This is reasonable."

After seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Hu Weiyong became more and more energetic. He continued: "And if Zhang Wuji is unwinnable in this battle, then he will definitely be greatly injured, although he is not as embarrassed as the defeat of the Central Plains and even the loss of the capital, at least he will not be able to attack us again." And since Zhang Wuji's 800,000 army was defeated, the Mongols were no better. We can take advantage of the fact that they have just finished losing both sides and wield the Northern Expedition to seize the Central Plains in front of them. Therefore, no matter whether Zhang Wuji loses or wins, then there is no bad impact on us. So it's never too late for us to do it. ”

Although it was not what he thought in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to it with relish, and at this time Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "You just said one thing, so what about the second and third parts?" We'd like to hear about it, too. ”

Hu Weiyong bowed his head and replied: "Obey the orders of the superiors." At this time, he put his hands behind his back and said, "The second is the issue of military resources, 800,000 horses not to mention the salary, but the grain and grass required is not a small amount." If Zhang Wuji wants to maintain such a huge military force, he is afraid that the money and food are not enough, although he occupies a lot of land, but the richest place is not in his hands. Mingzun is too hypocritical. If he attacks us early, even the gods will not be able to stand in his way. It's just a pity that he is a hypocritical person who likes to do things that are justified. ”

Hu Weiyong turned around, stretched out a third finger, and then said: "And the third is that he gave us time to prepare." During this time, we reorganized our troops, and in addition to reinforcing the city walls, we also accumulated a lot of ordnance and supplies. That's enough for us to send troops. ”

Li Wenzhong shook his head at this time and said, "Master Hu, it is unlikely that we will win completely with these two points alone. ”

Hu Weiyong continued: "This strengthens the city wall and hoards grain and grass, which is enough for us to hold onto. And ordnance allows us to take the initiative. However, we are not helping Mingzun, but dealing with Yuan Ting and Zhang Shicheng. ”

Zhu Wenzheng spread his hands at this time and said, "Then what are you going to do?" You can't follow Lu Meng's example, and cross the river in white to attack Zhang Wuji's Jingzhou base camp. ”

Hu Weiyong shook his head and continued: "Naturally, it's not. Zhang Wuji is the co-master of the world that we recognize. Naturally, he couldn't move. However, we can go and attack Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding under the banner of Mingzun. ”

When Hu Weiyong said this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Go on!" ”

Hu Weiyong continued: "The eastern part of Zhejiang, where Fang Guozhen is entrenched, is a rich production area of fish, salt and silk. And Fujian, where Fang Guozhen is entrenched, is a treasure land full of tea mountains. The richest salt, silk, and tea in the world are in our hands. In this way, our treasury will soon be abundant. ”

"And in these two battles, we also ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who had a close relationship with Mingzun, to lead the soldiers and horses of the Ming Sect to attack in the name of Mingzun. If we do it, we will not only be able to fill the treasury. You can also destroy Mingzun's credibility and gain the entire Jiangdong. ”

"If you can't beat it, then you can also consume the Mingjiao team under our command. You can even directly arrest Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to punish the crime, although these people are also our brothers, but most of them are Mingjiao disciples, if they start a war with the Mingjiao leader in the future, these people will most likely defect. Since it can't be collected, it's better to get rid of it in this way. ”

Tang He said at this time: "Hu Weiyong! You" Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and arched his hand and said: "Big brother, although this Chang Yuchun is a member of the Ming Sect, Xu Da is a sibling who grew up with us. I, Tang He, am willing to guarantee my life, he will never be like Chang Yuchun, let alone betray his eldest brother. Please also think twice, big brother. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with a calm face and said: "Xu Da's temperament, we understand it in our hearts. Our own brothers, we naturally won't be embarrassed. But Chang Yuchun is not our descendant, so we must guard against it. Brothers, you need to understand this. ”

Tang He nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

However, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a concern at this time.
