Chapter 438 Sure enough, rebellion is not that easy (first update)
When the good news from Xiuzhou began to spread in the camp.
The already high morale of the soldiers became more and more excited, and even training became very active.
As for the generals who made the mistake in that scene, they would naturally not be happy to see the result.
The only person who was unhappy was probably Commander Deng of the Guangde Army who was dismissed from his post after a few words from Gao Zhang.
It can be said that Gao Zhang did a very good job of killing chickens and honoring monkeys.
And now it is clear that the imperial court was so surprised by Gao Zhang's new appointees that they misled the generals, and the fate of their generals was firmly in the hands of Gao Zhang's prodigy champion.
The head of the Guangde Army who was promoted by Gao Zhang was directly appointed by Gao Zhang as deputy capital commander.
The merciless treatment of that leg really made all the generals put away their miscellaneous thoughts and honestly obey the orders of Gao Zhang, the twelve-year-old prodigy number one scholar.
After Gao Tao had a pleasant chat with a group of soldiers on the embankment.
Instead of continuing to stay in the boat, he began to frequently show his face in the military camp on horseback.
He often greeted the soldiers cordially and instilled his thoughts into those soldiers with his subtle behavior.
So if we don't want to be afraid, what we should be afraid of is Zhu Meng and his gang of traitors.
Are there relatives and friends around us who were harmed by the brutal expropriation of the Zhu family and his sons in the past month?
Besides, if we don't hold the Zhu rebels there, it's very likely that the Zhu rebels will attack our hometown.
When that time comes, will those rebels who regard human life as trivial let you go, even your family members?
Therefore, if we don't do it, it will be a failure for the imperial court, and if it doesn't, we will fail ourselves. We should all stand together bravely and not be cowardly.
In addition, the imperial court has received the news and is sending hundreds of thousands of troops to rush to the rescue at night.
I believe it won't take a few days to arrive. By that time, won't the Zhu family's thief army be wiped out in a snap?
What's more, I am only twelve years old, no more than a child, and I am willing to work with you to resist the rebels.
Are all of you heroes not as good as one of his children?
It has to be said that as a child who is only twelve years old, he is not the world-famous prodigy number one scholar.
Gao Zhang has an excellent reputation among the people, plus he looks good, keeps his mouth shut and sounds nice.
Even when he was inspecting the camp, even if he was a rural soldier who was an old farmer, Gao Zhang would never feel that he was superior to others.
Moreover, Gao Zhang was only twelve years old and was so amiable. He was definitely the most amiable high-ranking official in the court they had ever seen in their lives.
In the eyes of those soldiers, children of that age were either studying or herding sheep and ducks in the countryside.
The soldiers saw that the No. 1 Scholar, who was completely younger than their own nephews, took advantage of them and asked for help, trying to relieve everyone's uneasiness.
Just think that even such a young Wenquxing, who is not even a child, would endanger the safety of the people in Jiangnan, and is even willing to fight with his big-headed soldiers who cannot read a bunch of words.
What reason do we all have to be afraid and timid? Do we really want to be worse than a child?
That almost negates the aspirations of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Zhu Zhonglie, who was good at military affairs and was entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Meng, cautiously conducted reconnaissance for a day and estimated that the governor's troops in the east were only a little over 10,000 at most.
Presumably, that is already the limit of what the governor can deploy at present.
After returning to the camp, he wrote a memorial overnight and sent a courier along with the letter of challenge to Suzhou.
A group of civil and military officials from Wu State were currently in the brightly lit hall, discussing in low voices.
Because of a piece of news that was not good at all, Zhu Meng was caught off guard in an instant.
However, General Zhu Gui, who had successfully captured Xiuzhou before, was defeated by thousands of officers and soldiers and retreated to Xiuzhou.
Moreover, he was seriously injured. As soon as it was clear, he could close the four gates and defend Jiaxing City, the capital of Xiuzhou Prefecture.
Because when Xiuzhou City captured the city, Xiuzhou's original soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and a major defeat outside the city made Xiuzhou City's defense seem insufficient.
Therefore, I hope that your Majesty can send troops quickly to relieve the siege of Xiuzhou.
"Zhu Gui mistook him, Zhu Gui mistook him."
Zhu Meng walked towards the throne with a livid face, his thighs constantly slapping the table in front of him.
Instead of just jumping up and down like in the past and scolding your mother.
After all, he has gradually adapted to his identity as the Lord of the Wu Kingdom. There is no way he can behave like a ruffian and undermine the dignity of the Lord of Yejiao.
"Your Majesty, Xiuzhou is seeking urgently, and you must not make any mistakes. Wu Ruming only has two states. If Xiuzhou is not lost, it will definitely cause turmoil in Wu Ruming..."
"Your Majesty, if there are so many old salt fields in Xiuzhou, if they are taken back by the imperial court, how will they recruit troops?"
"I very much ask your Majesty to send troops quickly to save Xiuzhou."
It was just a quarrel, but Dong Lai was finally calmed down by Zhu Meng's roar.
Surprisingly, such a large number of officers and soldiers appeared in the south, and they all attacked the eastern part of Jiaxing City, the capital of Xiuzhou Prefecture.
Prime Minister Liu stood up, came closer and whispered.
"Your Majesty, the incident occurred not long ago. I'm afraid the imperial court will only receive the news at that time."
"Even if the southern states mobilize their troops, they cannot reach the east of Jiaxing City so quickly..."
"What I mean is that Zhu Gui lied about military information?"
Prime Minister Liu chuckled. He had never been a court official after all, and he was not as good as those officials who had high qualifications and promoted their duties.
As for Bu Nao, whether Zhu Guinai is the king's cousin or not, it would be useless to guess the truth at that time.
Zhu Meng looked at the scheming prime minister and couldn't help but say again.
"Is it true that Zhu Gui lost his troops and retreated to Jiaxing City?"
"Whether what the king said is true or not, can it be revealed that he has the main force of imperial officers and soldiers in the northern border of the great Wu Kingdom.
If a large army is not raised to support Xiuzhou, Gao Zhang's cunning boy will definitely send his troops to the south and lead the troops to the east with General Zhu Zhonglie. I'm afraid..."
Zhu Meng rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Sure enough, rebellion is not that easy.
I originally thought that I had the right time, place and people, but it turned out that the one who was riding a horse had just ascended the throne and Gao Zhang's son in the north was watching eagerly with a big knife.
In the south, whether Zhu Gui encountered a large number of officers and soldiers in Qibunhuan, he suffered a heavy defeat. This is not true.
Xiuzhou can be regarded as the back garden of Suzhou, and there are many salt fields in Xiuzhou.
That was also the reason why he sent his confidant Zhu Gui there. By controlling Xiuzhou and a large number of salt fields, he could bring a steady stream of military resources to his King of Wu.
But now, such an army appeared out of nowhere, causing Zhu Gui to suffer a big loss...
Just when Zhu Meng was in a dilemma, someone finally came and brought the news, including Zhu Zhonglie's autographed letter containing the letter of war from Gao Zhang's son.
When I saw the letter of challenge, I felt so angry that my liver ached when I thought of those words in the reply.
Zhu Meng, who had his eyelids twitching for a while while holding the letter of challenge, moved his eyes and landed on the prime minister, Mr. Xu.
"Come on, Prime Minister Xu, please let me see what that kid with a yellow mouth wrote."
