Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 88 King Wu’s orthodoxy is actually in Peiping

[You said proudly: "I am indeed a political fool. There is no denying this. But if one day I become the emperor, my prime minister will definitely be Brother Yu. Brother Yu will give me advice. Who in the world dares to say that I don't know Zhu Gaoxu?" Politics?"]

[Brother Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, very heartily. 】

[Although you are a bit silly and very confident, you are very cute in his opinion. 】

[Throughout the ages, even the First Emperor who pioneered the great cause of unification was not omnipotent. He presided over etiquette and formulated laws. To win the government, he needed the talents of Li Si and Zhao Gao. To lead an army to destroy the six kingdoms, Yingzheng needed the courage of Meng Tian and Wang Jian. So what is the role of Ying Zheng? His role is to make all these talents bow to him. 】

[Although you, Zhu Gaoxu, are far inferior to Ying Zheng in terms of talent and brilliance, and you do not have the charisma of the First Emperor, but you were able to deceive Zhu Youyu into assisting you with your silly cuteness, and that is enough. 】

【If you win Zhu Youyu, you can win the world. 】

[Zhu Youyu rarely laughs with such relief as he does now. At this moment, when you look at the other person's smile, you can't help but giggle. 】

【Are you really stupid? No, on the contrary, you were famous for being cunning and deceitful when you were young, but if you pretend to be stupid, you will gain the favor of Brother Yu. You are willing to pretend to be stupid all your life. 】

[Do you think that the most correct thing you have done in your life is that when you were in Prince Wu's Mansion, you tried your best to be hacked to death by Prince Wu's Crown Prince Zhu Youjin, and you also wanted to leave Nanjing with Zhu Youyu with you. 】

[If you were afraid of the sharp blade in Zhu Youjin's hand and therefore did not get Zhu Youyu's assistance, Master Yan's evaluation of you now would probably be limited to: Ah, Zhu Gaoxu, I know this person is quite brave, but he is a bit stunned. 】

[And now, with Zhu Youyu's assistance, Master Yan's evaluation of you is: Ah, Zhu Gaoxu, of course I know this person, he is very brave, but he is a little stunned, but with Zhu Youyu here, it's okay to be stunned. 】

[You firmly believe that you and Zhu Youyu will become monarchs and ministers who will occupy a prominent place in history. 】

[In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Jianwen, at this time, the weather was cold, the ground was freezing, the water and grass were barren, and morale was low, making it difficult to go on an expedition. King Yan also took advantage of this period to start reorganizing his army. 】

[After the Battle of Zhengcunba, you gathered nearly 100,000 troops. Brother Yu deceived another 80,000 elite troops from King Ning. In addition, the reputation of the Yan division made people shaken, and many people led their troops to surrender. , the total strength of Prince Yan's Mansion was as high as 300,000. 】

[Zhu Di has never been so wealthy as he is now. He quickly reorganized the army into five armies and appointed you as the former army commander. The former army has 50,000 troops. Although it is not the most powerful army among the five armies, it is the most elite army. The former soldiers are all veterans of many battles when they started from the Yan Palace, as well as the 80,000 elite troops from Daning. Carefully selected. 】

[The battles fought by the front army are the toughest battles. Of course, the front army must be formed by the most heroic soldiers. Being able to hand over the former army to you shows that King Yan no longer appreciates you at this time, but thinks highly of you. 】

[After the Battle of Zhengcunba, you did not join the ranks of the senior generals of the Yan Division, but directly became the commander of the Yan Division second only to King Zhu Di of Yan. 】

[In the second year of Jianwen, the Yan Division and the Southern Army finally reorganized their troops and decided to start a battle at Baigou River. 】

[This battle is destined to go down in history. This battle will determine the fate of the Yan army and the imperial court. Once Li Jinglong is defeated again, the Southern Army will collapse thousands of miles. From then on, the King of Yan will take the initiative in the war. And once Zhu Di is defeated, he will have no chance to fight again and will fall directly. 】

[But no matter what, both sides have reasons why they absolutely cannot lose. 】

[But Li Jinglong would not disappoint everyone's expectations. He lost the battle of Baigouhe again. 】

[You led the front army in a fierce battle with the Confederate army. With the overwhelming courage of thousands of troops, you tore apart the Confederate army's formation with overwhelming force. You killed the powerful generals of the court, Qu and his son, captured Wuding Hou Guo Ying alive, invaded Dezhou, intercepted the baggage, grain, grass and equipment of the court's 600,000-strong army, and won the battle of Baigou River. 】

[This battle has made you famous all over the world. Everyone knows that King Yan has a son named Zhu Gaoxu, who is a famous general in the world. He will win every battle. His bravery can be compared with that of the ten sages of the Martial Temple. 】

[After hearing this, you couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Yu is really a god. He can bring me to be compared with the ten sages of the Martial Temple. He is the only one who has this ability. Who else would dare to support me like this?"]

[But it was not all smooth sailing for you in the Battle of Baigou River. You finally met your first powerful enemy in your life. 】

[This person’s name is “Ping An”. 】

[Ping'an once served as the commander of the Miyun Guard, and later served under the King of Wu, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and became the commander-in-chief of the Right Army. After Li Jinglong took command, he served as a vanguard in the Southern Army. 】

[This man's bravery makes you even moved. With more than ten thousand cavalry, he can defeat the entire front army under your command. He almost beat you and you are a little unconfident. In the end, it was Brother Yu's plan that forced Ping An to accept defeat and withdraw his troops unwillingly. 】

[Ping'an is the bravest person you have ever met in your life. If it's just brave, that's it. This person's clear mind and deep city even make you feel scared. After having Brother Yu's assistance, this is the first time you feel... Fear. 】 【Zhu Youyu also said helplessly: "In the early years of the Hongwu Dynasty, my father was given important responsibilities by the great ancestor. Ping An was the most important person to my father. He cultivated him very carefully. He never thought that after the cultivation, today It has become a stumbling block for us.”]

[Brother Yu said this, so you won’t find it strange. The King of Wu was able to give birth to brother Yu to be so smart. Ping An was regarded as a subordinate that the King of Wu had cultivated for many years. It is reasonable for him to be brave and resourceful. 】

[You quickly asked: "Since Ping'an is the subordinate cultivated by the fifth uncle, then speaking of it, he should respectfully call you little master. Then Brother Yu, can you recruit this person and let him work for me?"]

[However, Zhu Youyu shook his head: "Ping'an has a strong personality and would rather die than do nothing to the two masters. If I came forward to persuade him, he would rather be questioned by Emperor Jianwen and withdraw his troops. He would not disobey me, but It is impossible for me to regain him. If I want to regain him, my father must come. Only he can make Ping An surrender willingly."]

[This makes you a little regretful, but you don’t pay too much attention to it. Anyway, with Brother Yu here, even peace can’t do anything to you. 】

[But what you didn’t expect is that you may never have the chance to be an enemy of Ping An again. 】

[After the Battle of Baigouhe, not only did you become famous, Zhu Youyu’s fame also grew. Everyone knows that behind you, the Prince of Gaoyang County, there is someone who is advising you. 】

[When Emperor Jianwen learned about this, he was furious and thought he had been stabbed in the back by King Wu. He did not attack the King of Wu when he cut off the vassal, but the King of Wu's son helped the King of Yan to defeat him repeatedly. He ordered the army to rush to Suzhou, the fiefdom of Wu King Zhu Ju, to capture the King of Wu. 】

[But King Wu seemed to have his eyes opened, until Emperor Jianwen wanted to take action against him, he took the royal family property to Peiping early and took refuge in his fourth brother, King Yan Zhu Di. 】

[In Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Xi almost kicked Brother Yu to death: "You traitor, you traitor, you know how to cheat my father. I am taking care of myself well in Suzhou, but you fucking traitor cheats me all the time." Peking is coming!"]

[You have never seen Brother Yu in such a state of embarrassment, being chased and beaten all over the room by King Wu, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. King Wu glared at you, but didn't say anything more. 】

[Perhaps in the mind of Wu King Zhu Ju, if his son can assist the fourth brother's son, he may be inheriting his father's legacy. He had arrived a long time ago. After King Yan succeeded to the throne, he would be appointed as a minister to assist the country. 】

[As expected, it didn’t take long for Wu King Zhu Ji to be entrusted with the important task of Yan King Zhu Di. He was in charge of the strategic deployment and logistics management of the entire army, and became the second-ranking figure in the Yan division after Zhu Di. 】

[Emperor Jianwen couldn't deal with this. He never expected that he would send people to arrest the King of Wu, but he didn't catch him. He also sent a general to the King of Yan. In a rage, Emperor Jianwen ordered the immediate execution of Zhu Youjin, the Crown Prince of Wu, who was under house arrest in Nanjing! 】

[At this time, Emperor Jianwen no longer cared about his good reputation in future generations. He would rather bear the reputation of killing his cousins ​​than kill King Wu's eldest son to relieve his anger! 】

[But when Emperor Jianwen's men rushed into Prince Wu's Mansion, they discovered that Prince Wu's Crown Prince Zhu Youjin had fled long ago. He left very calmly, and even took away all the treasured books in the mansion. 】

[Not long after, Master Yan once again issued an announcement, appointing Wu Wang’s crown prince Zhu Youjin as the commander-in-chief to join the army, and Zhu Youjin was about to run to Peking. 】

[King Wu’s father and two sons all came to serve in Prince Yan’s Mansion, and King Wu’s orthodoxy was actually in Peiping! 】

[The King of Wu became the number two figure in the Yan Division without even a single soldier. On the other hand, King Ning contributed 80,000 elite men to the Yan Division and was still imprisoned in such a miserable manner. It really makes people want to laugh. 】

[Everyone was laughing, except Emperor Jianwen who couldn't laugh because he had become a joke. 】

[Emperor Jianwen, who was as weak as if his spine had been broken, could only dismiss Ping An, the vanguard of the Southern Army, and ordered him to return to Beijing for trial. 】

[Ping'an, the only fierce general who can make you feel fearful, was also deposed by Emperor Jianwen himself. 】

[As for Li Jinglong, Emperor Jianwen really couldn't stand it anymore. This man had made him lose face in front of the world, so Emperor Jianwen could only remove him from his post and replace him with Sheng Yong. 】

[This is probably the only correct personnel appointment made by Emperor Jianwen. Li Jinglong, the court marshal, has been chased by you since the Battle of Zhengcunba, from Peking to Dezhou, and from Dezhou to Jinan... …Not to mention, despite Li Jinglong’s repeated defeats, he is a long-legged general who is very good at escaping. Whenever there is a critical moment, he can always escape unscathed. Even if you chased him for a long time and tried to catch him, you still couldn’t catch him. The nickname "Li Paopao" put him firmly on the spot. 】

[Li Paopao finally stepped down, but he did not step down completely. Perhaps Emperor Jianwen wanted to save himself the last bit of face, proving that although he had hired the wrong person, he was not completely stupid. No matter how the courtiers asked to kill Li Jinglong, Emperor Jianwen refused. Accept. What is even more incredible is that Emperor Jianwen continued to entrust Li Paopao with important responsibilities and gave him the important task of Nanjing's city defense. 】
