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

Chapter 373
That night, Zhang Yu didn't take off his armor and stayed up all night, personally sleeping outside Zhu Su and Zhu Di's Chinese army tent.When Zhu Su and Zhu Di woke up the next day, Zhang Yu was still in high spirits, and greeted them both.Zhang Yufang didn't go down to rest until Zhu Su and the others finished eating the court food and Di Meng came to change shifts with King Wu's personal guards.

Looking at his leaving back, Zhu Di praised: "This person has the style of the old Tang Wei Chi Gong."

"Fifth brother, although your method is a little risky, the effect is really remarkable. I think that Zhang Yu is already effective in death. When this matter is spread in the surrendered army camp today, the tens of thousands of surrendered troops, it is hard to think about it." I will return." Zhu Di turned to look at Zhu Su. "Your trick is like a father's!"

Zhu Su's strategy is indeed Zhu Yuanzhang's old wisdom.In the past, when Lao Zhu was conquering the world, he subdued Chen Zhaoxian and [-] surrendered soldiers under his command.The [-] soldiers believed that they were not Lao Zhu's direct descendants, so they had doubts.

At that time, Lao Zhu asked the newly recruited Chen Zhaoxian to stay outside the guard's tent, and then slept peacefully all night.

This is equivalent to directly telling these surrendered soldiers: We trust you so much that we dare to entrust our lives in the hands of your generals. What else do you have to worry about?
The [-] soldiers who surrendered had all their doubts gone, and they were completely integrated into Lao Zhu's direct army.From then on, Chen Zhaoxian took the lead in every battle, never avoiding life and death.In the end, he even died in battle on Poyang Lake.

"Are you adventurous? Daddy dared to let Chen Zhaoxian stay in the guard in the past, that was an adventure. We are fully confident this time." Zhu Su replied casually while sitting behind the table calmly writing on the fan.In the performance of "absolute trust" last night, if Zhu Di did have some elements of "acting", then he, Zhu Su, completely revealed his nature, and he did not have the slightest worry that Zhang Yu would turn against him.

History has proved that Zhang Yu is not a follower of Qin Mu Chu, so what do I have to be afraid of?In the previous history, Zhang Yu had been mixed into the Privy Council of the Yuan Court. After the Ming Dynasty, he was able to die generously for Zhu Di in the Battle of Jingnan, which showed that he had no sense of belonging to the Yuan Court.

But now before he surrendered, he was just a mere lieutenant general. At this time, Da Yuan had neither kindness nor virtue to him.Is there any reason for him to turn against the Ming and return to the Yuan?

Along the way, Zhu Su has been very good at analyzing and guessing the thoughts and actions of these historical figures through the records in history, and relying on them to prescribe the right medicine to make a decision.

Although he never thought that his resourcefulness could surpass the "ancients", but relying on the massive historical data in his mind to travel through welfare, he can barely achieve "know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles without danger".At least up to now, it hasn't missed yet.

Therefore, he is also very confident that his move of surrendering the army to the guards is a good deal without any risk, but can get great benefits.

The descendants were in the Chinese army, so they were worried all night.From their point of view, it is impossible for His Highness Daming to trust their former enemies so much.But after one night, neither "the Ming army deliberately set up an ambush to kill" nor "waking up early in the morning to find that they were trapped in a tight siege" happened.

When Zhang Yu, the chief general, came back, he asked, and found out that the two Highnesses not only had not escaped their shells to the front army or the rear army as they had guessed, but fell asleep defenselessly under their heavy "surroundings" One night, Zhang Tou'er even stood outside the door of the two highnesses holding his knife, without the slightest warning.

The descendants couldn't help but be greatly moved: It turns out that the two Highnesses trust us so much and regard us as direct descendants, even entrusting us with life and death!

As the matter spread from one to another in the army, in just one day, the morale of this 2-strong surrendered army was completely subdued by Zhu Su and Zhu Di.

A few days later, Cao Yuan of the former army temporarily retreated to rest, Zhu Di ordered Zhang Yu to lead [-] newly surrendered kings to replace Cao Yuan and confront Naha.Zhang Yu complied generously, and the soldiers did not waver in the face of Naha's lobbying and threats.

"The front line is secure." In the tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Su, Zhu Di, Chang Mao, Zhang Dingbian and other generals sat around the map and listened to Di Meng's report on the current situation.

"Nahachu began to disperse small groups of troops again, intending to rob the people's food. But the people of Jizhen have been looted several times, and I think Nahachu will not gain anything this time. And take over the affairs of the Ming army in Jizhen The progress is very smooth, driven by those wounded soldiers who have been healed, the recognition of us by the Ming army in Jizhen is increasing day by day."

"I think in a few days, we will have enough troops to stop the small group of troops sent by Naha."

It was actually beyond Zhu Su's expectation that the matter of regaining the morale of the Ming army in Jizhen went so smoothly.Originally, he thought that although Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang, had taken the military power by forceful means, after all, Guo Xing had been operating in Ji Town for a long time, and he might use his influence to make obstacles and hinder him.

But after several days of "rehabilitation", Guo Xing took five thousand trusted soldiers and left here for Shuntian.It seems that Zhu Su and others will be completely annihilated, so they don't want to get involved in this quagmire anymore, and plan to join Fu Youde of Shuntian Mansion to pull up a second line of defense to stop Naha's troops from attacking Shuntian. pace.

Zhu Su also let out a long sigh of relief.Although Guo Xing took away five thousand soldiers.But without these cronies of Guo Xing, he helped himself by placing his cronies and directly vacated a place for himself, so that he could grasp the military power faster.

Seeing that the faces of all the generals were relaxed, Zhu Su said: "Masters, don't slack off, this is not the time to slack off."

"In my king's view, we still have two major crises."

"One of them is Naha and Shanyang Wanhu. Even though we successfully rescued Gong Changhou from their siege before, in reality, Shanyang Wanhu's strength is not a big problem; The Ming army in Jizhen suffered from both defeats, but because it devoured the food and grass hoarded in Jianchang, it has the ability to fight for a long time.”

"The two have not recovered yet, and they have not reached an agreement with each other. If they reach an agreement, they will definitely counterattack us with all their strength. At that time, the fierce battle will begin."

When everyone heard this, their faces were all terrified.If Nahachu was completely merged with Shanyang Wanhu, people like himself would be extremely difficult to resist.

All the people in the tent were silent, they were all thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy.But this is obviously extremely difficult. A group of people have been thinking hard, but they have not been able to come up with even a barely feasible plan.

At this moment, Chang Mao said, "What is the second crisis?"

"The second crisis is... our army's rations will run out." Zhu Su said in a solemn tone. "The rations of our army can be used up to now because of the rations that Naier didn't spend that was looted earlier as a supplement. But after a few days, this part of the rations will also be exhausted."

"We have nothing to do about this. We can only wait for Zhang He at sea to deliver the military rations in time." Zhu Su said.
