My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 151 Is Zhu Gaoyu a lucky general?

When talking about the construction of the city wall in Peking, we cannot avoid mentioning Zhu Gaoyu.

In fact, Peng Er didn't know what Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoyu talked about. He only knew that Zhu Gaoyu mentioned in the letter that after the Battle of Huailai was over, the court would almost react.

Now that my father has led the Yan army south, the city of Beiping is short of troops. If a general leads a large army to besiege us, it is better to make preparations early.

Zhu Gaoyu was just a child, not a god, but after seeing the contents of the letter, Zhu Gaochi started to mess up the city defense.

Peng Er's first reaction when he learned about this was disbelief.

This is just a waste of time!
But whether it is Zhu Gaochi or Zhu Gaoyu, to put it bluntly, they are both noble persons.

What they want to do or not do is not something Peng Er can interfere with.

Peng Er also knew that although he had some quick wit, it was obviously impossible for him to have any military strategic vision.

So he kept his words to himself, not revealing a word to Zhu Gaoyu, and worked for Zhu Gaoyu peacefully.

On the contrary, the Sultan's impression of Zhu Gaoyou changed a little after reading Zhu Gaoyou's letter.

The Ming Dynasty was indeed a powerful country.

Here, even a child is extraordinary...

Hu San only understood half of what was said after listening to a few words.

However, Zhu Gaoyu did not seem to explain too much, but chose to have someone take him to his father Zhu Di.

……

at that time.

Zhu Di was facing the map and many generals, discussing how to capture the battle of Huailai.

Among these generals, there were familiar faces such as Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu.

Because Miyun and Zunhua were conquered too quickly, a large number of soldiers have gathered in Huailai. The generals under the King of Yan generally hold the same idea.

That is when the enemy outnumbers us, and the best strategy is to hold on.

However, at this time, as the favorite general of Prince Yan, Zhang Yu was naturally relied upon by Prince Yan.

Just like now.

Although Prince Yan did not say anything, Zhang Yu's idea coincided with Prince Yan's.

Simply put, these two people once again peed in the same pot.

I only heard Zhang Yu slowly speaking:
"Your Highness, I have dealt with Song Zhong before. He is stubborn, self-righteous, and frivolous. He doesn't seem capable of taking on a big responsibility. I don't think we need to be so passive and stubborn..."

Before Zhang Yu could finish his words, he was refuted again by the generals below.

In Prince Yan's team, there is no doubt that Prince Yan is the leader and banner figure. Without him, there would be no one to shout slogans.

However, not all of the people who followed Prince Yan in rebellion were harmonious, and were also divided into different factions.

For example, Zhu Neng belongs to the faction of the Yan Wang Palace's personal guards and is one of the people closest to and most trusted by the Yan Wang.

Zhang Yu was originally a captain of the Left Guard of Yanshan, and a general of the northern frontier army who had followed Zhu Di for a long time.

The other part is the military generals from the Ming Dynasty court who were conquered during these days.

While the room was in a mess and filled with smoke, Prince of Yan Zhu Di was leisurely and calm, as if he had already made up his mind.

His idea was the same as Zhang Yu's.

What about holding on to the status quo? That's all bullshit.

What the court lacks the least is time.

Because the court has soldiers and food, if we have to say what it lacks, it can only be the right generals.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the matter continues, the Prince of Yan, who currently only occupies the area around Peking, will inevitably face a shortage of food and fodder.

But... right now, there is a lack of a suitable opportunity to attack Huaihua.

What exactly is this opportunity?

Zhu Di has been listening for so long but still hasn't figured it out.

But before he could figure it out, Zhu Di's good son took the opportunity to bring him this opportunity.

Zhu Di had just heard the eunuch's whispers beside him when Zhu Gaoyu's loud voice came from the other side.

"Dad, you're still talking. Look who I brought here for you?"

Zhu Di's eyes twitched.

When this kid walked in, he walked in with a swagger, as if he was walking back home.

Zhu Di originally wanted to reprimand him, but then he thought of what the eunuch said, and he forced a smile:

"The fourth one is here."

Now that Zhu Gaoyu had the "intelligence" in his hands, he was eager to walk like a crab.

In addition, when he saw his father's expression, he felt a little "floating" for a while.

He complained subconsciously:
"Is Lao Si calling you or me?"

Zhu Di still had a smile on his face, but Zhu Gaoyu, who was familiar with the feeling of being beaten, had already felt the calm before the storm from the gnashing of teeth in his response.

He glanced at Zhu Di, stopped pretending, coughed slightly, and started talking about business.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyu gave a look to Hu San beside him.

Hu San was worrying about how to get to the Prince of Yan, but when he saw Zhu Gaoyu giving him a ladder, he climbed up and revealed all the information in his pocket in no time, just like pouring beans.

After Zhu Di and his generals heard this, they stopped arguing.

What are you arguing about?!
Such a great opportunity, isn't it obvious?
Song Zhong came up with this idea, which was actually not that stupid.

To use Zhu Gaoyu's words, he actually created an information gap. But the bad thing was that this information gap was known to the Prince of Yan and his men.

This time, it backfired and made Song Zhong look very stupid.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhu Gaoyu again, his eyes suddenly brightening:

"Xiao Si, I remember that among the logistics you brought, there are quite a few people from Peking, right?"

After Zhu Di said this, many generals who were originally thinking about how to break the information gap all had their eyes brightened.

Qiu Fu was even happier, he slammed the table, and when Zhu Di was still there, he started to shout:

"Your Highness, if you ask me, you are the lucky general of our Yan Army!"

cut!
This is a flattering shot!
Isn't it just a coincidence?
Is it so exaggerated to call him a "lucky general"?

But before everyone could complain in their hearts, Qiu Fu was afraid that everyone would not believe him, so he counted on his fingers and began to summarize:

"The young prince first brought us enough military rations. At that time, Jizhou was difficult to capture, so he brought in cannons, which reduced unnecessary casualties for the Yan army."

"Our team has been growing stronger and stronger along the way, thanks to the young prince's efforts to win over prisoners of war. Even the reputation of the Yan army for treating prisoners of war well has spread."

"Now we have finally encountered a tough battle, but the young prince unexpectedly handed over Song Zhong's handle, hahahaha..."

Zhang Yu looked at Qiu Fu helplessly.

This loud voice...

When the laughter sounded in his ear, it gave him the illusion of being deafened.

The general next to him thought about it and actually figured out something about it.

If we really think along the lines of Qiu Fu... then Zhu Gaoyu might really be a lucky general!
In addition, Zhu Gaoyu once had such a "glorious resume" that he was highly regarded. For a moment, everyone's eyes on Zhu Gaoyu changed again and again, and even showed a hint of awe. When they looked at Zhu Di again, their eyes were even more fiery.

Zhu Gaoyu, as the youngest son of Prince of Yan, was so extraordinary.

Then Zhu Di, as Zhu Gaoyu's father, naturally couldn't be too bad, right?

As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s son will dig holes.

Looking at it the other way around...it should be the same principle?

Zhu Di naturally noticed what the generals were thinking.

Precisely because he noticed this, there was a slight change in the way Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoyu.

But he is my own son, and I know his own capabilities.

Zhu Di knew that all these statements like "Fengtian Jingnan", "Tiles falling", and "Wind and rain follow the dragon" were bullshit.

That stuff is just to fool people.

Zhu Di himself was a person who deceived others, and he really didn't believe that his son would be a lucky star.

If Zhu Gaoyu was, why wasn't Zhu Di?

He thinks he is quite qualified...

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room became friendly and harmonious again, Hu San touched his head and felt that something was wrong.

No.

Logically speaking, he is the real hero...

Why are they all starting to praise Prince Dinghai now?

Hu San glanced at Zhu Gaoyu, and just at that moment Zhu Gaoyu looked up, and their eyes met in mid-air.

After a moment, Hu San silently withdrew his gaze.

Forget it.

Once you enter the Yan army, it will be like entering a deep sea.

Anyway, he is half Zhu Gaoyou's man. According to Zhu Gaoyou's previous promise, he will not suffer any loss in the end.

……

Huailai.

Song Zhong seemed a little anxious at the moment.

After his brainwashing of the fleeing soldiers, these people should be full of hatred towards the Yan army and will be able to play a very important role in the upcoming battle.

Logically speaking, Song Zhong should be relieved after his careful preparation.

But for some reason, since a certain point in the afternoon, his eyelids began to twitch violently.

It is said that if the left eye twitches, it will bring good fortune, while if the right eye twitches, it will

Song Zhong touched his right eyelid which was twitching wildly, and felt that this statement was completely false.

He has made the best preparations.

Even if Huaihua was defeated in the end, Song Zhong felt that... he could escape safely with the help of the cannon fodder left in front of him.

Once he returns to the imperial court in the south and reorganizes his army, perhaps Song Zhong will be able to become the high-spirited commander-in-chief he once was.

It was at this time.

In the soldiers' camp in Huailai City, a man with ordinary looks, who would be almost forgotten if seen in the crowd, blended into the crowd skillfully.

Compared to the relatively calm Song Zhong, the atmosphere among these soldiers was not very good.

Especially now that the Yan King's army is ready to go outside Huailai City, the reason these scattered soldiers and generals can still gather together is that they are supported by that breath.

Suddenly, someone made a humming sound.

"I don't want to die. My mother is almost sixty years old, and my wife is still at home..."
