On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Menhaikou.
More than 100,000 troops are marching eastward along the Huangjiang River, a tributary of the Red River.
Most of the soldiers were wearing Ming Dynasty red military uniforms. There were forests on both sides of the marching road. Under the sunlight, it seemed as if these forests were burning. They were very eye-catching. From time to time, birds and animals in the forest were awakened by the sound of neat footsteps and fled.
.
A few other soldiers wore the costumes of the southwestern ethnic groups. These clothes were all blue or green without exception, mixed among a group of red clothes, just like trees that had become blurred due to burning.
On the river sandwiched between marching soldiers on both sides, hundreds of large and small ships are moving slowly. Each ship is loaded with cannons and other siege equipment. After arriving outside Nanding City, the ships will stop at a distance from the city wall.
Not far away, fire at the city.
Zhu Zenyi was standing on the bow of one of the large ships, looking down at the marching armies on both sides of the strait. He confidently turned back to his trusted advisor Lin Yurong and Yunxi's general officer He Wenchang and said: "A total of 150,000 yuan
There are more than 100 large ships, 8,000 naval troops, and nearly 100 cannons. However, there are only 70,000 soldiers in Nanding City. Our army will definitely succeed immediately, capture Nanding City in one fell swoop, and capture Hu Ji Yao alive."
"Your Highness, our army will definitely be able to capture Nanding City, but it will be very difficult to capture Hu Jiya alive." Lin Yurong said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, if Hu Jiya leaves the city before the army surrounds Nanding City, it will be very difficult for our army.
Capture him alive."
"I know, I know," Zhu Zanyi said impatiently: "Gu naturally knows that it will be difficult to catch Hu Ji Ya if he escapes south. I just said it casually."
"Yurong, I finally understand why you didn't have a good reputation in Jinwu Vanguard before, and you were often bullied by your colleagues. With your mouth, it's strange that you are not bullied."
Lin Yurong's expression changed slightly, but this was not the first time Zhu Zanyi said such words these days. He had enough endurance. Hearing the words, he immediately said: "Volume 79 of "Old Book of Tang"? There is a saying: The Emperor
If a minister criticizes a minister, even if he has no principles, he will lose the world; if a father criticizes a son, even if he has no principles, he will not fall into injustice. Therefore, Yunzi must criticize his father, and ministers must criticize the king."
"Although His Highness is not the emperor, he is quite wise, but he is also the king of a vassal. It is a good thing for his subordinates to remonstrate with His Highness. Why is Your Highness complaining like this? Do you want to compare Your Highness with the ordinary soldiers of Kingo's avant-garde?"
Zhu Zanyi smiled and said nothing. Of course he was different from the people around Lin Yurong. The people around him, Lin Yurong, were not high-ranking officials and did not have such a high sense of responsibility. Even if he discovered that Lin Yurong was very talented in fighting with soldiers, when he spoke like this
They would not recommend him to superiors if they were not pleasing to the eye. What's more, military ability is a very special kind of ability. No one can discover it without real fighting. If Jinwu's vanguard has been staying in the capital without fighting, Lin Yurong will probably never be found.
The first day.
But now his talent has been discovered. As the king of a vassal, Zhu Zanyi will endure it even if he hates Lin Yurong's mouth, because this vassal belongs to him, not to mention that he gets along well with Lin Yurong these days, although Lin Yurong
Although Zhu Zanyi gradually got used to his unpleasant words, she found him very unique and unconventional, and admired him very much.
Zhu Zanyi talked to Lin Yurong for a few more words, and then told her what she wanted to do, and then began to think of other things.
"You tell me, where will the capital be located after I become a vassal in the future? Although Shenglong Palace is in a very good location, with a large city and a large palace, and is very comfortable to live in, this city has been the capital of the Annan people for too long. The forces in the city are so intertwined that even if Hu Ji Yao moved the capital to avoid his influence, Gu Chu might not be able to overwhelm them when he comes here."
