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

Chapter 378 Zhu Di who constantly absorbs nutrients

As the head coach, Zhu Su had already made up his mind to attend the meeting, and everyone stopped speaking against it.He just looked at Zhang Dingbian with a knife-like gaze.Zhang Dingbian didn't think he was disobedient at all, he just laughed and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness is really very human! Such courage, not weaker than Guan Yunchang who went to the meeting alone in the past!"

"Fifth brother, have you thought it through?" Zhu Di still hesitated.The commander has made a decision, and other people can no longer disagree under the military order. As a brother, he can say a few more words. "Now that Naha is facing a big enemy, he should give priority to the immediate matter."

"The matter of supporting Wala is not urgent after all. Let the ministers in the court do it in the future. Before we lead the army now, we should take the immediate war as the first priority."

"It is precisely because the immediate battle is the top priority that I should go to the camp of the Oirats." Zhu Su said to Zhu Di. "One, the Oala tribe is not weak. If they really want to join forces, our situation will be even more difficult."

"I went, maybe I can say that Wala will no longer participate in the war. After all, Wala and Yuanting are not at peace."

"But if you don't go, Wala will really send soldiers. As you said, fourth brother, even if I can send troops to pacify them in the future, how much harm and suffering will the people and this land suffer before they are pacified?" ?”

"Isn't it because we want to stop these alien races that we are here to try every means to get involved with Naha and them? Otherwise, as long as we can't shrink back like Guo Xing, we don't care how they harm the people, burn houses, etc. Wouldn’t it be great if General Xu Da came with reinforcements?”

"..." Zhu Di hesitated to speak.He originally wanted to say that even if the common people are persecuted by the Yuan army, they are not as important as you, the fifth brother who can know the future.But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't speak them.

After all, this fifth younger brother valued the common people the most on weekdays.If he said that, not only would he not be able to stop him, but it would most likely strengthen his determination to go to the meeting.

"Both." Zhu Su thought that Zhu Di was speechless, so he continued to speak on his own. "Fourth brother, you said, the immediate battle should be the top priority."

"It is necessary to know that war is a continuation of politics and a means to achieve political goals. We are also risky in staying here, and we want to achieve the political goal of 'protecting the people of Ji Town and resisting the destruction of Naha'."

"The purpose of contacting Oirat is more important than this. I don't think we should ignore the meeting with Oirat for the sake of today's military affairs. This is undoubtedly an act of neglecting the basics in politics."

"War is the continuation of politics?" As soon as Zhu Su said this, there was a sudden silence in the tent.Zhu Di was shocked all over, and muttered this sentence again.

At this moment, Zhu Di felt as if he had been enlightened.

Zhu Di, who loved military affairs since he was a child and knew that he was going to take charge of the Yan Fan and fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, has always had a question in his heart, that is, how to balance the "military" and "government" of a place.

In his opinion, it is natural to focus on the "army", and it is best to fight as far as possible in the expedition to Mobei.But he also knew in his heart that doing so would definitely not work.He also had to devote part of his energy to "politics", otherwise he would inevitably be resisted and opposed by the court.

After all, in the eyes of people at this time, the army is the army, and the government is the government.The two cannot be confused.Even in the minds of some civil servants and scholars, war is "inhumane", a waste of money and food, militarism, and a manifestation of "anti-politics".

And my fifth younger brother actually expressed the view that "war is the continuation of politics".However, the more Zhu Di touched it, the more he felt that it had a deep meaning.After reading many war history books in the past, some parts that seemed to be ignorant in the chaos became clearer as if the clouds were clearing the sun.

"Forget it, brother four can't beat you." Zhu Di shook his head helplessly.I wanted to persuade this younger brother, but I didn't want to be persuaded by him.

"But I have been taught by you again. Now that you have made a decision, then you can do it."

"Just one thing, I will accompany you this time."

"Huh?" Zhu Su was taken aback.Originally, I wanted to ask Zhu Di what kind of education he had received, but now he couldn't bother to ask, but objected: "No, if the fourth brother is not here, who will make the decisions in the camp?"

"There's nothing serious about the camp, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to block them, and water coming to cover them up." Zhu Di said. "If you still don't feel relieved, you can let the second brother come here to sit in charge for a while, and it will be enough for Changli to leave it to old man Ru."

"I have learned a lot from you during this trip. Now that you are going to the meeting of the enemy, there must be something I can learn. Besides, as your elder brother, how can I know that my younger brother is going to go to danger, but my elder brother stays silent?" Why is it in a safe place?"

"If my father... my father finds out, I will definitely be dealt with by the family law."

Speaking of the word "Family Law", Zhu Di shivered violently regardless of the occasion where he was in the Chinese army tent. It seems that Lao Zhu's dragon boots and dragon belt are in the young mind of Zhu Lao Si. , has left an indelible impression.

Seeing that Zhu Su was amused, he hurriedly coughed: "If that's the case, that's fine. I'll leave the affairs of the camp to Brother Chang for the time being, and you can go with me, Fourth Brother."

"There is a certain family." Zhang Dingbian also said at this time.He smiled boldly: "It's a certain family that insists on His Highness going to the meeting. If a certain family doesn't go by itself, I'm afraid they will cut themselves off from everyone."

"With Layman Zhang by my side, my fourth brother and I will have no worries." Zhu Su said pleasantly.If Zhang Dingbian is willing to go together, then the trip will be fine.Don't say five hundred Wala cavalry, let alone 5, Zhu Su has no doubt that Zhang Dingbian will have the ability to lead him and Zhu Di out of the encirclement.

Everything is settled, and the generals also know that it is useless to persuade.Zhu Su and Zhu Di explained everything in the camp to Chang Mao and the others clearly, and told them that they must return within three days, and then they walked out with Zhu Di, Zhang Dingbian, Wu Ting, and the dogs around the bodyguards. tent.Zhu Di asked worriedly: "Fifth brother, do you really want to bring only ten people to the meeting?"

"Although I am determined to go, there are only ten people, which is still too dangerous. But if there are too many people, the Oirats may not want to talk to us..." Speaking of this, Zhu Di was a little distressed.

"No." Zhu Su vetoed Zhu Di's point of view with a smile. "Every negotiator, the right time and place, off-court and on-court, all kinds of factors can be used as weights in our hands. In fact, the negotiation has already begun now."

"The final meeting and discussion was just a decisive battle, and our various preparations and decisions now are actually the conscription and training before the confrontation between the two armies."

"How we respond to the request of the Oirats is the first step in completing the negotiations. If it is true as they said, only ten people will be sent there. Then the Oirats will inevitably think that we are weak-hearted and weak. When negotiating, It must be to push the nose on the face."

Zhu Di was thoughtful for a while when he heard the words, and Wu Ting on the side said: "How many people is your Highness planning to bring? If there are too many people, I am afraid that the Wala people will think that we are not sincere in negotiating with them. Said Maybe, I still feel that I am going to take advantage of the situation to encircle them."

"I've thought about it." Zhu Su said. "Since they brought five hundred riders, we should also take five hundred riders."

"If there are the same number of people, those Oirats still dare not come forward to meet, such a cowardly person is not worthy of me, Ming, to bother to support them."
