Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 278
"I don't. If there was a time when I was fighting in the west, why would my brother's descendants be flooded at home?" Zhu Di gave Zhu Su a white look.

He clenched his fists: "How can I, a Chinese man, lose to Ximan? I will die on the road to the west! Then Alexander went east all the way, and he died without hesitation. If I give up halfway and come back to win the throne, wouldn't it be a joke for the future generations? "

"Unless all the land in the west is wiped out, there is no other place to go, and the vassal state is almost governed, then we can go back to Fengyang to support the elderly..."

"Besides, at that time, how can I be used?" Zhu Laosi patted Zhu Laowu's shoulder, and he smiled at Zhu Su with his heart full: "If there is a time, isn't it because of you? "

"...don't hurt me." Zhu Su rolled his eyes. "I have no intention of taking power."

"If the elder brother's descendants really want to kill our vassal king like that Zhu Yunqi, then I would rather go back to the mountains and forests, or go boating on the sea."

"You don't want to be a vassal?" Zhu Diqi asked. "Father is not afraid of you, you want a soldier from your father, and you can find a place far away to build a feudal clan?"

"I don't." Zhu Su leaned against the city wall with his hands behind his head. "Jianfan founded the country... how tiring it is."

"I'd rather be a useless idle king, go on a horse and listen to music... Isn't that bad?"

"Idle King?" Zhu Di seemed to have heard some big joke. "You can be the king of idleness with your worrying about everything?"

"When a few craftsmen under your command were killed, you would be red-eyed; if the people of Susong had no food to eat, you would roll up your sleeves and go find profiteers to rob... If there is such a big nephew who dares to disturb Ming Dynasty, why don't you The first one to rush up to Fengtian Temple to take his life?"

"...Uh." Zhu Su was momentarily at a loss for words.He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak.He really wanted to be the king of idleness, but he couldn't see the suffering of the people in Huaxia, which was also true.

It's a rare time to go through a journey. If he doesn't do something for the nation he loves so much, he always worries that this respectable and lovely great nation will still be trampled by the iron hooves of foreigners in the future... Until now, he doesn't know Is it the obsession to be the king of idleness, or the obsession to make this nation stronger.

Seeing Zhu Su thoughtful, Zhu Di had a wicked smile on his face.

He didn't continue to press Zhu Su, but just laughed at himself: "When I say that, it seems like I'm cursing my brother to die young... From this point of view, it's better for my brother to live a long life. It’s best to live longer than our brothers. Big Brother and Dad are here, so we don’t have to worry about the future.”

"Yes." Zhu Su nodded in agreement.Indeed, the lifespan of the cheap father, Lao Zhu, and the elder brother Zhu Biao is directly related to how long Daming can continue to maintain a stable and rising period.

For the current Huaxia, the stability of the Ming Dynasty is the most important prerequisite and guarantee for the Huaxia nation to restore the vitality destroyed by the Mongolian Yuan, to regain its former glory, and even to create new heights.

"If you want to go west, you have to deal with Meng Yuan first..." Zhu Di muttered to himself looking in the direction of the west.Then he turned his head and smiled at Zhu Su: "In this way, I think the ten thousand thieves outside the city are not worth mentioning."

"Compared to Meng Yuan and even the endless Ximan, some thieves are just child's play. At this moment, I am impatient to tangle with them, and my eyes are full of thinking about the front line in northern Xinjiang, and I will go to Meng Yuan for a while."

"Fourth brother, you should calm down." Zhu Su also laughed. "At our current age, it's pretty good to be able to fight against bandits like Zhang Li on the battlefield."

"That's it, those civil servants like Ru Taisu are still very childish, worried about our children's play"

"If you want to deal with Meng Yuan, wait a few more years. If you really want to get Dad to agree to lead the army to the west, then I don't know how to deal with these thieves outside the city first."

".It wasn't you who teased me, but now you're pouring cold water on me." Zhu Di gave Zhu Su a blank look.He couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the west again, as if he wanted to penetrate through the heavy clouds and mist, and see what the scenery of the western world was like.

"Hey, I just hope that I can spread the glory of China like Alexander the Great sooner. Why don't we fight Meng Yuan first, and take care of them earlier."

"Just wait." Zhu Su patted his fourth brother's arm.I also breathed a sigh of relief.

With Zhu Laosi's current appearance, it seems that his enthusiasm has returned.

At this time, the two brothers did not expect that the confrontation with Meng Yuan, which they thought was still far away, would be a few months later.
The weather in Suzhou was very rainy, but it was a bit rainy that day. On the east wall, there was another attack from the coalition forces of Zhang Li and Japanese bandits.This time they did not send civilians, presumably the civilians who had not had time to take refuge within a few miles had already been caught before.

With no civilians as attrition, the bandit army only launched a few feigned attacks against the city wall, and after hastily dropping dozens of corpses, they retreated into the camp to hide from the rain.

On the contrary, the soldiers defending the city wall, who were full of fighting spirit, and the group of scholars and civilians below the city, who were ready to help at any time, made them feel a little overwhelmed.They were holding their breath yesterday because of the Kongming Lantern Festival and the song "Lime Song".I can't wait for the thieves to swarm up directly, so that they can vent their anger with a big pot.

Cao Yuan, the general guarding the city, came to ask Zhu Su for instructions: "Your Highness, our army is as powerful as a rainbow. The army's spirit is available, can you allow the last general to lead a surprise soldier out of the city tonight to attack the bandit's camp?"

"The last general is willing to issue a military order. If there is no gain, please take the head of the last general!"

"Hmm." Zhu Su looked at the bandits who had retreated into the camp, and rubbed his chin to himself.Today, the rain and fog obstructed the line of sight, but I couldn't see what happened to the thief.However, today the thieves still only choose to feign an attack, and withdraw their troops to stop fighting after only suffering a little loss. From this point of view, they still have to adhere to the plan of "feigning an attack to attract attention, and then attacking the south of the city with internal and external cooperation".

"General Cao has such a heart, how can this king refuse to allow it?" In short, the morale can't be discouraged, Zhu Su said to Cao Yuan, who was half kneeling on the ground. "Originally there will be a big action tonight. Whether the thief is broken or not, it will be tonight."

"The general is going to choose the men and horses, four watches tonight, I will be of great use..."

"Yes!" Cao Yuan was overjoyed, thinking that Zhu Su had agreed with him to go out of the city to attack at night, so he went to select troops happily.Zhu Su turned his head to look at Jinyiwei Shaoxuan behind him: "Captain Shao, you Jinyiwei, have you really contacted Brother Chang outside the city?"

"Your Highness Fifth, don't worry." The unattractive Shao Xuan nodded slightly. "I, Jin Yiwei, have my own way of Jin Yiwei."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter. We have received a message from Chang Guogong. At four o'clock tonight, we must go outside the Nancheng Panmen."

"It's so good!" Zhu Su looked out of the city, opened his fan, and the words "catch a turtle in a urn" were revealed on the fan.

"Since the urn is ready, all we need to do now is wait for those stinky fish and rotten shrimps outside the city to swim in obediently!"
