Chapter 17: Zhu Yunwen's Means!
Frog?
Cook me to death?
Zhu Di was angry, and his face was very ugly.
"Bastard thing!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Zhu Gaochi saw that the second brother began to make trouble again, and immediately started a round.
"That's right, second brother, my father is discussing something important with the two gentlemen, don't make trouble here!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted.
Obviously, the father and the two gentlemen didn't expect Zhu Yunwen's next move, if they really waited for Zhu Yunwen to cut his father's military power, then everything would be over!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately spoke: "Dad, you listen to me tell a story, and I will leave immediately after I finish speaking!"
Storytelling?
How can Lao Tzu have the time to listen to your story?
Zhu Di was already upset because of Dao Yan and Jin Zhong's suggestions, but now hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words added fuel to the fire, and he was about to go crazy when he saw it.
Fortunately, Jin Zhong was old and serious, and he spoke out in time to play a round.
"Lord Wang, there may be changes in the army, it is better to listen to the words of the second son."
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face changed.
The second child has been guarding the barracks and is only interested in military affairs.
In this case, it seems that it is really possible.
"Speak quickly!"
With permission, Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and immediately said Su Yang's theory of "boiling frogs in warm water".
As soon as the words fell, the entire study suddenly fell into silence.
Zhu Di's face was dazed, and he didn't listen to it at all.
What frogs, what boiling water, what the hell is this?
He waved his hand and was about to drive the second child away, but unexpectedly, Monk Daoyan's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "Not good!"
"We're really 'frogs'!"
Jin Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, and his expression gradually became stiff!
"Good means!"
"Zhu Yunwen is really a good means!"
"He's trying to trap us slowly!"
Zhu Di was in a fog when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Two gentlemen, what's going on?"
Monk Daoyan let out a long sigh and slowly opened his mouth.
"At first, I thought that Zhu Yunwen would attack the rest of the vassal kings first, and there were three reasons!"
"One is because the kings have committed illegal acts in the Hongwu period, and they are famous."
"The second is to be afraid of the high prestige of the prince in the hearts of the border soldiers, and there is nothing illegal in the Yan Palace."
"The third is to flatten the other vassal kings, cut off the prince's hands and feet, and avoid the alliance of the kings to form a rebellion in the Eight Kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty!"
Zhu Di nodded after listening, this is their understanding after discussion.
Zhu Yunwen didn't take the lead in making a move against Zhu Di, it seemed that he was taking a safe strategy, but in fact, he gave him time to prepare for a counterattack!
But why does it sound like that's not the case at all?
Dao Yan turned his head with difficulty and looked at Zhu Di.
"But after listening to what the second son said, the old monk suddenly realized that we were wrong from the beginning!"
"Zhu Yunwen's goal from the beginning is you, the prince, and the purpose of cutting off the other vassal kings is to cut off the wings of the prince, and then cut off the supply of grain and grass in Beiping Mansion, and the next step is as the second prince said, it is very likely to deprive you of the right to control the border army!"
"Cut off the wings, cut off the grain and grass, and deprive the army of its rights!"
"Once these three steps are completed, what strength do you have to resist?"
"It will only be reduced to fish on the chopping board, and let Zhu Yunwen slaughter it!"
has no military power, no grain and grass, and no foreign aid, what will he Zhu Di do to fight with Zhu Yunwen, who owns the world?
Only wait for death!
Hiss......
What a vicious strategy!
Everyone looked at each other, and they all gasped.
The more Zhu Di listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, only to feel that his legs were weak, and he was drenched in cold sweat!
He had long known that Zhu Yunwen had the heart to cut the domain, and he was secretly preparing to seek self-preservation.
But when he learned that Zhu Yunwen's first vassal king was the fifth child, although Zhu Di was extremely angry and terrified, he still had a trace of joy in his heart.
Because Zhu Yunwen, that idiot, was not the first to do anything to him, giving him a chance to prepare a counterattack!
For this reason, Zhu Di was also complacent and full of hope for the future.
But Dao Yan's words undoubtedly broke all the illusions in Zhu Di's heart and slapped him hard!
It turned out that he had already fallen into Zhu Yunwen's trap, and he didn't even notice it!
"Zhu Yunwen's next step is to deprive the prince of the right to control the border army, or send his henchmen to seize power!"
"If we don't notice it at all and sit back and watch the military power being seized, then there really won't be the slightest power to resist!"
"As the second son said, what is the difference between this and boiling a frog in warm water?"
"I'm waiting to perish step by step, and I don't know it!"
Jin Zhong's face turned pale, and his lips began to tremble.
This is the first time that he has felt the danger of conspiracy and trickery, and he is still in the field he is good at, and he is completely crushed by the enemy!
Zhu Di took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.
He knew that he was the backbone of the Yan Wangfu, and he must not panic now, otherwise everything would really be over!
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di suddenly smiled.
"Fortunately, the second child reminded us in time, we saw through Zhu Yunwen's calculations, and now there is still a chance to fight back!"
"Most of the soldiers of the Beiping Division and the Xingdu Division went out to fight with the king, and they have the comradeship of comrades who fight side by side!"
"Two gentlemen, immediately send someone to contact these generals, whether it is coercion or lure, the guards of Beiping must be in control!"
After a pause, a cold light flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.
"In addition, you can trade with the grassland barbarians, but you must be cautious in this matter, and you must not leak any rumors!"
"Also, the old seventeen (Ning Wang Zhu Quan) commanded dozens of cities in Xinjiang, more than 1,000 miles wide, 80,000 armor, 6,000 leather carts, the background of soldiers and horses is the real king, Jin Changshi must send someone to contact him!"
Hearing this, Dao Yan and Jin Zhong nodded approvingly.
The actual strength of the Yan King Zhu Di now controls, in addition to the 800 armor soldiers secretly raised, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left in the three guards of the Yan Wangfu.
In total, the number of troops is less than 20,000.
20,000 against 1 million, this is tantamount to a fool's dream!
But if you add the troops of the Beiping Metropolitan Division and the Daning Metropolitan Division, there will be at least 500,000 soldiers!
Even if you can't kill Jiangnan, you can divide the north and the south, establish yourself as the emperor, and attack and retreat!
With direction, the rest is much simpler.
Yan Wangfu now has mastered the technology of mineral salt refining, and there are many gold and silver treasures, and it is not difficult to bribe those border army generals!
After all, the imperial court has not yet reached the last step, and all the border army generals are old men who fought on the battlefield with King Yan, and the friendship between their comrades is still there, coupled with the promise of a heavy investment in the future, I am not afraid that they will not be moved!
Zhu Di and Daoyan Jinzhong immediately discussed, and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu stood aside to listen.
After a long time, Dao Yan and Jin Zhong finished discussing and immediately prepared to leave to make arrangements.
The two looked at Zhu Gaoxu, their faces full of suspicion.
The second son's reminder came too timely!
However, this second son is a notoriously brainless and reckless man, how can he see through Zhu Yunwen's calculations?
In particular, the theory of "boiling frogs in warm water" can be called a whip to the point!
This is not like what he Zhu Gaoxu could come up with!
Zhu Di also wondered about this, why did the second child suddenly open up?
"Second brother, did you come up with all of this yourself?"
"That's for sure...... Not really! Zhu Gaoxu smiled innocently, "This is all what Su Yang said!" ”
"I lied to him that I was in Kaipingwei, and Su Yang immediately reminded me after hearing this, try to find a way to leave."
"Under my questioning, Su Yang said these words, Beiping Zhuwei will become the main force in the war between the imperial court and King Yan in the future, and there is also the theory of boiling frogs in warm water, so I immediately rushed back......"
Su yang?
Which Suyang?
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the teacup fell to the ground.
Zhu Gaochi's face was full of astonishment, "Second brother, do you mean Su Yang?" Our brother-in-law? ”
Su yang!
That Su Yang!
The Su Yang of the salt making process!
Zhu Di and the three of them were stunned when they boarded, stunned in place!
