Chapter 164: Bet

Zhu Di didn't take it seriously when he heard it at first, but when he heard what Zhu Song said, he also became nervous.

"What you said is true, you won't be teasing your fourth brother, right? A small civilian official who has never been on the battlefield, how much ability and ability can he have? Just tell me what you say, but don't go out and talk to other generals. ”

Zhu Song shook his head: "Fourth brother, do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to grow up and destroy his own prestige?" I just think you have to be careful no matter what, if you don't believe it, why don't we make a bet and see how many days your siege battle against Jinan lasts. ”

Zhu Di originally wanted to answer directly for three days, but after thinking about it carefully, this Zhu Song is indeed not the kind of person who likes to destroy his prestige, he is not as good at attacking as himself, but he is not as conservative as Geng Bingwen, he is very strategic, he is a rare smart person, and he is a general who knows how to judge the situation and know when to fight and when to defend.

So as soon as he thought about it, Zhu Di felt that it was better to be safe, so he stretched out five fingers.

"Five days! I only need five days to capture the city of Jinan! When the time comes, our brothers will have a good time drinking in Jinan City! But the old twenty, this is a bet that has to be a bit of a bet, otherwise how boring it is? ”

Zhu Song smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Then the fourth brother said, let's gamble on something, since you asked, I must have the baby you want, right?"

Zhu Di laughed.

"I heard that you breed horses in Kaiyuan, using Mongolian horses and Liaodong horses to breed, and the horses bred are not only tall, but also have much better endurance than purebred Liaodong horses!"

"Let's bet on this, if I capture Jinan City within five days, you will give me a hundred Liaodong horses that are born this year!"

Liaodong couldn't get a hundred war horses at all, but Zhu Song knew that he would win this bet, so he happily agreed.

"Good! In a word, as long as you capture Jinan City within five days, it is really like what you said, our brothers will drink and talk in Jinan City, and I will immediately get a hundred Liaodong war horses from Kaiyuan to you, and our brothers will do what they say! ”

"But if you don't capture Jinan City within five days, how can it be calculated?"

Zhu Di said on the spot: "Then I will give you the three thousand Beiping battle horses under me, and they will be yours at any time in the future!" These 3,000 Beiping war cavalry will be incorporated into your palace guards! ”

After Zhu Di's training, the Beiping war cavalry can indeed be regarded as the combat power of the first echelon of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Song is not thinking about this, not that he does not like horses and soldiers, but because the fourth brother will become the emperor in the future, even if he is sure to say it, he will incorporate these three thousand into his own guard, but when the time comes, when the Ming Dynasty fights, he will come up and ask himself to borrow soldiers, just borrow three thousand cavalry, borrow himself or not?

Borrow it, these 3,000 cavalrymen must be meat buns and dogs, and there is no return, but if you don't borrow it, when people point to the holy decree, you can't borrow it yourself.

Therefore, Zhu Song can't ask for cavalry, he can't ask for war horses, what Zhu Song wants is gold and silver treasures.

"I don't want your 3,000 cavalry, these 3,000 cavalry are what you trained, how you should use them, it has nothing to do with me, what I want is the gold and silver treasures in your palace."

"I heard that there is a one-person high Jade Guanyin in your palace treasury, if you lose at that time, then you will immediately write a letter to the fourth sister-in-law, and let the fourth sister-in-law order someone to carry this Jade Guanyin to the side hall, I want this!"

Zhu Di laughed after hearing this.

"I said old twenty, you are vulgar, you don't want to give you soldiers, you have to want the jade Guanyin in my treasury, why do you love money so much?"

Zhu Song also laughed.

"If I don't love money, how can I run Kaiyuan so well, if I don't love money, how can I think about making money make money? Don't divert the topic, are you reluctant to your Jade Guanyin, if you are reluctant we can change it, I have never forced people! ”

Zhu Di slapped his thigh.

"Just listen to you, if I lose the Jade Guanyin, I'll give it to you, let's just say it's decided, if you don't worry, we can sign and draw!"

So under Zhu Song's half-push and half-push, the two people signed and drew the bet, and wrote their respective bets on the top, in duplicate, which can be said to be full of ceremony.

……

Five days later, Zhu Di looked at the Jinan city in front of him with a hideous face.

Five days have passed, this Jinan City has been unable to be attacked for a long time, Zhu Di has to admit that he underestimated Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan before, these two people guarding the city can really be said to be in style, and they are really more Geng Bingwen than Changxing Hou.

Although the soldiers of Beiping are not good at attacking cities and are good at field warfare, how many defenders are there in Jinan Mansion? It was less than 100,000 people who Tie Xuan had gathered before he gathered the rout, but he led an army of 300,000 to sweep Jinan City with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, but five days have passed, and the walls of Jinan City have not even been beaten down.

Zhu Di rode a horse and stood under the city, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan stood side by side on the city, the three of them looked at each other, and Zhu Di snorted coldly.

"Withdraw the troops back to the camp and fight again another day!"

On the way back to the camp, Zhu Di couldn't figure out if he wanted to break his head, why was this Tie Xuan, a literati, so difficult to bite for the first time on the battlefield? He is even more difficult to deal with than Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong combined.

After returning to the barracks, Zhu Di saw that Zhu Song had been waiting in his tent for a long time, and Zhu Di remembered the bet he made a few days ago.

"I said, are you kid here playing tricks with your fourth brother? Did you already know that this Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong were not so easy to deal with? ”

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Di and nodded generously.

"yes, that's what I thought, didn't I tell you the same at the beginning? I said that you have to deal with the two of them carefully, you can't underestimate them, are you telling me this now that you want to repay the debt? ”

"Who wants to repay the debt, isn't it just a jade Guanyin? Wouldn't it be over if I asked your fourth sister-in-law to send it to your daughter-in-law? I'll also be less, you can only bring me fifty war horses this time. Zhu Di said with a blushing face.

Zhu Song immediately said: "Are you ugly?" Obviously, the two of us bet that you lost, and now you want me fifty war horses, no! Not a single horse! If you don't get that jade Guanyin to me, I will pass this word on to the soldiers of the whole battalion!" I not only showed it to the soldiers, but I also had people copy 10,000 copies and post them on the streets and alleys of Beiping City! ”

Zhu Di can also be regarded as understanding, his twenty brother really loves money, he has never seen him and himself in a hurry, for a jade Guanyin, he is like this for the first time, but this also reassures Zhu Di from a side perspective, after all, the twenty is greedy for money, but people don't love power, right?
