In the big tent, Zhu Di did not wear armor, but wore a thick woolen sheepskin coat and sat next to the brazier.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Li Bin, Meng Shan, Chen Heng, Zhang Yu, Chen Yuan and others were sitting around. There were several pots of stew next to them that had become cold, and the soup had solidified into white.
"Dad!" Zhu Gaoxu came in and saluted.
The generals turned around and saw that Zhu Gaoxu was covered in wind and snow, his eyes were red, and his armor was broken, and they all nodded slightly. Although this second prince was young, he was very popular with warriors like them. He was brave and loyal.
"You're back?" Zhu Di said calmly without raising his eyelids, "Go to the back and have something hot to eat!"
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated and said, "Dad, my son is listening outside now."
Zhu Di raised his head sharply, "Go, eat something hot, and be obedient!"
Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and said, "Hey!"
With that said, he walked past the generals and walked into the back hall of the big tent.
As soon as he walked over, he heard someone next to Zhu Di say, "Chitose, we really can't fight this battle like this!"
~~~ Remember the URL m.wxsy.
The speaker was Zhu Di's favorite general Zhu Neng. He was a typical northern man who spoke with a buzzing voice.
Zhu Di still didn't speak, he just stretched out his hand and kept roasting it on the brazier.
"I won't tell you how many people we have died while carrying the Tatars in these days!" Zhu Neng continued, "Let's just say that in today's battle, the Tatars charged desperately. Three thousand of them died, so at least we died too.
Three thousand!" As he spoke, his red eyes seemed to bleed, "Chitose, that is our family's wealth, it is our own son, if one of them dies, the other will be missing!"
"Yes Chitose!" Qiu Fu also said, "This time the Tatars came so unexpectedly that we were not prepared enough and could only rush to fight. That's all. The capital has suppressed us in the past few years and divided your authority.
Now you can only fight with our old man."
"These sons, it's hard to raise them all these years after we sold everything!" Zhang Yu also said, "If they are all gone, will Chitose have no chips in his hands?"
"It's been so many days since the military report was sent out, but the imperial court has asked us to stop it, saying that reinforcements are on the way. But they didn't say anything else. Where are the reinforcements? Where are the mobilizations? Now we are timid, because I have fought with you for so many years.
, I’ve never been so angry before!” General Meng Shan also said.
Zhu Neng looked at the people around him, and then continued to say to Zhu Di, "Chitose, if we can't protect everyone, this is what someone is thinking about. Let Yan Fan wait in front, and when we and the Tatars are both hurt, they will come to take advantage!"
"Yes, it can also make us injured!" Qiu Fu said angrily.
Zhu Di finally stopped rubbing his hands, put his big hands into his sleeves, smiled, and looked at everyone, "What do you think?"
"What do you want me to say!" Zhu Neng looked at the big guy and whispered, "Why don't we open a gap and let the Tatars rush through, and let's chase and bite them behind. When the imperial army arrives, we can join forces together.
Or he is a partial teacher!"
Zhu Di frowned, "What if the court asks about it in the future?"
"We have a total of more than 40,000 people, and the Tatars opposite are more than 70,000." Zhu Neng said, "There are more than 70,000 Tatars, plus at least ten people who herd their livestock, feed their horses, and cook.
Thousands of people are coming. We can’t bear it by force, so we can only take detours!”
"Detour? Haha, isn't it just the fear of war? Isn't it just to preserve strength? Isn't it just the fear of death? To put it nicely, you have been following me all your life. When did I ever make a detour?" Zhu Di looked at everyone, "
Do you all agree with what he said?"
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
"I know your good intentions. To be honest, I was watching the battle in the Chinese Army today and watching our son fall, my heart has been bleeding!" Zhu Di slowly said, "It's like someone is holding a knife in my heart.
It hurts so much that I can hardly breathe!"
"Hey!" When he said this, Zhu Di sighed, "How could I not know that they are my Zhu Di's soldiers? How could I not know that they are the capital in my hands. According to what Lao Zhu said, pretending to be defeated and letting the Tatars pass can save the country.
Strength does not require killing people. But if you really do that, will your conscience be okay?"
"The conscience I'm talking about is the conscience towards those brothers who died in the battle. If you don't want to fight, don't fight in the first place. After so many people have died, and you let the enemy pass, how can you explain to the brothers who died in the battle?"
"Say it again!"
After saying this, Zhu Di stood up, walked to the tent, and looked outside, "Behind us is the Ming Dynasty. If we let the Tatars pass, the people of the Ming Dynasty will still die!"
Zhu Di came back to his senses, his eyes like daggers, "If that's the case, even if I have millions of tigers under my command, I'm just a coward!"
"I have made up my mind!" Zhu Di continued loudly, "The imperial court's military orders must be nailed here before they come, so that the Tatars cannot move forward. Behind us is the Ming Dynasty, and we are waiting for the garrison to block it. Isn't it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty?"
"This is a national war, and I, Zhu Di, disdain the villain's behavior!"
"Don't retreat even an inch and fight bloody battles with the Tatars. The soldiers are dead. Enter you guys. You are all dead. Enter me, father and son of the Zhu family!"
"Here!" The generals stood up and responded loudly.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside the tent.
"King Yan, military order from the imperial court!"
"Bring it here!" Zhu Di's eyes lit up.
The military order was in Zhu Di's hands, and all the generals were eagerly awaiting it.
I saw that Zhu Di's expression was indescribably complicated. He seemed to be relieved, grateful, and even a little bit admirable.
"Chitose, what did the court say?" Zhu Neng asked anxiously.
"Hey!" Zhu Di smiled bitterly and sighed, "That kid has a big plan!"
Everyone was puzzled and listened to Zhu Di continue to laugh and say, "Holy edict, before the battle, I will control the Beiping Dusi, Liaodong Dusi, Tieling Guards, and Liao Wang Guards!"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Now, I can mobilize the troops and lay out the battlefield openly!" Zhu Di said loudly, his eyes alert, "Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying, is leading the 60,000 Goryeo garrison, coming day and night. The kings of Zhou, Qin, and Jin are also here
I'm coming with my army. There are also 40,000 elites from the Beijing camp and 9,000 heavy cavalry, led by Ping Bao'er, who are also on the way!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "They all obey my command. With hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, not a single Tatar can escape. If I kill one of my sons, I will ask them to pay back a hundred times!"

"Have the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived?"
In the back tent, Zhu Gaoxu was holding a bowl of broth and drinking heavily. He and Zhu Gaosui put their heads together and eavesdropped outside.
"Hey, how can the imperial reinforcements arrive so soon?" Zhu Gaosui asked in confusion, "Uncle Zhu Neng is right. Now is a good time to weaken us. The capital is hoping that we are all dead!"
"Hmph!" Behind the two of them, Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly, "What a villain!"
They turned around and saw Zhu Gaochi huddled in a thick woolen coat, sitting beside a strong stove. The muscles on his face were trembling due to the cold.
"This is a national war!" Zhu Gaochi said, "The Tatars want to fight the entire Ming Dynasty. Under the overthrow of the nest, are there any intact eggs?" He said, after a pause, "This is like, we three brothers can't see each other on weekdays.
It's pleasing to the eye, but if there are really outsiders attacking us, should we join forces?"
Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help but nod, while Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help but move his little eyes.
"Besides, you don't know our father's temper?" Zhu Gaochi continued, "A man must be somewhat heroic. Our father has been a hero for a lifetime. If he is vague about such things, what kind of hero can he be?"
Zhu Gaojiu nodded again, his little eyes moving quickly.
"What the boss said makes sense!" Zhu Gaoxu sat down and said, "Actually, I also think that if we really open up a hole like Uncle Zhu said, it would be a bit un-heroic enough!"
Zhu Gaosui said disdainfully, "In the face of military and national events, a hero is just an ordinary man's courage!"
"You" Zhu Gaoxu was furious.
"If a man doesn't even have the courage of an ordinary man, how can he talk about his family, his country and the world?" Zhu Gaochi choked Zhu Gaosui half to death with one sentence, "If you don't even dare to fight in a battle, you know how to hide and be afraid when something happens, how can you have the shame to speak so brazenly?
Anything else?"
"You" It was Zhu Gaosui's turn to be speechless.
"Boss is right!" Zhu Gaoxu said, "Just like those bad scholars said, it's better to be kind than small."
"Where the hell are you? Can you read more?" Zhu Gaochi covered his forehead with his fat hand.
"Only you study a lot!" Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "How many Tatars can you kill if you study a lot? Look at you, you are so fat that you can't even ride on a horse!"
"What's wrong with not being able to ride a horse?" Zhu Gaochi also said angrily, "I can defeat ten warriors with one strength. Don't look at me because I'm fat. Can three or two Tatars beat me?"
"Blow it?" Zhu Gaoxu asked sideways.
"The boss didn't brag!" Zhu Gaosui said, "When the Tatars came over, the boss grabbed him and stuffed him under his butt, suffocating him to death."
"Ah ha ha ha!" Zhu Gaoxu covered his stomach and rolled on the ground.
"Summer insects cannot speak of ice!" Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes and wrapped himself tightly in his woolen jacket.
"Boss, you are still afraid of the cold because of your weight?" Zhu Gaoxu came closer and smiled, "Then your weight has been in vain?"
"You know nothing, good men are all fat!" Zhu Gaochi scolded with a smile.
"What about the woman?" Zhu Gaosui also sat down next to him and asked.
"What a beautiful girl!" Zhu Gaochi laughed, "Guess for yourselves!"
Outside, Zhu Di raised the curtain and came in. He saw the three brothers sitting shoulder to shoulder, crowded.
"Dad!" the three of them shouted at the same time.
Zhu Di nodded and sat cross-legged opposite his three sons with a smile on his face.
