"I once thought that I had a lot of affection and damage to the Brahma practice. When I entered the mountain, I was afraid that I would part with the city. How could I get the two Dharmas in the world, and live up to the Tathagata and don't let you down..." Zhu Gaoxu looked out the window for a long time and suddenly recited two poems.

He had already forgotten a few poems he had seen and loved on the Internet before; but he had been thinking hard for the past two days and had no rest in his mind, which made some things hidden deep in his memory gradually become clearer.

Zhu Gaoxu, who took off his armor, was wearing a ball of dragon clothes and did not wear a hat in the house. There was only a pair of net scarves on his hair bun. The black net scarves he wore were a feature of the Ming Dynasty and were used to fix the hair bun. In the past, he often saw this kind of thing when watching Korean costume films on TV. Zhu Gaoxu recited poems with his hands behind his back, and seemed to have a sense of art.

Miao Jin, who was making tea, also looked at Zhu Gaoxu sideways after hearing this, but did not disturb him.

Zhu Gaoxu was wandering with a melancholy look on his face. Of course, he was not trapped in love like in poetry; he was just using this to vent his hesitation in his heart, and felt that there was often no choice in the world!

On a large table next to the window, there are many maps and files, which look a little messy. This scene is like a microcosm of the complexity of the war.

Under various factors, there are only two choices: one is to continue the battle of Huguang regardless of the danger of Sichuan's eastern line; the other is to first reinforce Chongqing Prefecture with Quneng's troops in the northern route and regain Kuizhou City.

Obviously, the two choices given to Zhu Gaoxu are not "both-to-peer methods".

In the early stage, the reason why Quneng's Northern Army was delayed was still in Guizhou; not only was the southwest official road difficult to walk, but the Han Palace intends to disperse its troops to mobilize, but also because most of Quneng's army was transferred from the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Office.

If the original plan is taken, the march route of a large number of Quneng's troops will generally take the main road from Sichuan to Guizhou; then take one of the sections of the "Enter Huguang Road" and go from Chenxi County to Huguang Province.

(Because there is a difficult-to-cross Xuefeng Mountain in the east of Guizhou, if Quneng's troops do not follow this route, the large number of troops gathered from Sichuan will go from Sichuan to Guizhou, then to Yunnan or Guangxi, and then cross from north to south to Huguang Province. It is indeed a bit hard to get thousands of miles away.)

If the strategy is changed now and the Northern Army is transferred back to Sichuan for reinforcements, the morale of the Northern Army will fall to the valley!

For a very simple reason, everyone walked nearly a thousand miles from Sichuan to Guizhou, but they did nothing, and went back the same route and walked closer to another thousand miles; they could imagine their feelings.

Not only that, Zhu Gaoxu was even more worried that rescuing Sichuan would become a strategic turning point, and the Han Wang Army would be forced to turn off the attack to defend due to weak attacks. Once the Northern Route Army was restrained from the Sichuan Administrator's Office, the court might open up a new battlefield from the northern line to launch a strategic counterattack against Sichuan.

In this way, it will take more troops to defend Sichuan, and it will take longer to prevent the situation and the situation may be stalemate for a longer time!

Zhu Gaoxu had to consider the huge number of Han Wang Army now. The military pay and food required for one month is also an astronomical figure! It is really difficult to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops in the four southwest provinces alone.

Moreover, many of the things that the Han Palace did in the early stage were preparing for the battle in Huguang. For example, the Northern Army built warehouses in Chenxi County and hoarded grain and grass; Guangxi tribes successively set up warehouses along the Li River.

These have taken a lot of manpower and material preparations. If you want to give up, how can you be willing to let others be willing for a while...

But if Sichuan is not saved, it will be very difficult to maintain the front line of Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Secretary with Mu Sheng and Weida's weak troops, and Sichuan is in danger of being lost again.

The Sichuan Provincial Administration and the most wealthy territory controlled by the Han Palace, once lost, it will undoubtedly add insult to the shortage of the Han Dynasty's income and expenditure! The Han Dynasty's King's Army will not last long, and the future battles will be more passive; because the optional tactics are limited by the cost of consumption.

If Sichuan is not saved, the original strategy must also be changed: that is, to start the decisive battle in Huguang in advance. Otherwise, once the battle in Huguang is not good and Sichuan is thrown away from the rear, this battle will become a complete failure!

...Zhu Gaoxu's many years of character and habits are as destined as a program, so of course he chose to fight!

After all, what if the battle between Huguang is won? Nothing needs to be a headache, and it doesn’t matter if Sichuan is occupied.

It took Zhu Gaoxu only two days to make up his mind to bet against the official army. Now he needs a little more time to consolidate this decision, convince the unification of the generals' proposals and make specific arrangements.

But the original plan to prepare for a while was to give up...

While discussing strategies with the generals, Zhu Gaoxu began to reward and promote the meritorious soldiers in large numbers to boost morale.

Zhu Gaoxu was just a vassal king and had no power or title to be granted titles. However, when he besieged Guizhou City, he created an iron coupon for "Han Wang Zhongwei"; he promised that all military generals with this name would be given priority in the future.

If he wants to be a marquis of his generals in the future, he must be the emperor; now Zhu Gaoxu has ignored his concealment, and his ambition is obvious! But this is not a bad thing. If he has no intention of imperial power, what will everyone follow him and work hard to do?

The military generals who have been rewarded recently have been summoned at the Central Army Headquarters one after another.

Currently, some of the meritorious generals are standing in the central hall of the headquarters of the Central Army; their names will also be registered and archived in the Hanwang Mansion Office.

"Chen Zhen, the former commander of Lu Liangwei, was promoted to the magistrate of the Governor's Office, and was also the right deputy general of the Central Army. He was given an iron certificate for King Zhongwei of Han." Hou Hai thought to the file.

Zhu Gaoxu took an iron card from Miaojin and sent it to Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen, whose hair was gray, had been withered for most of his life and fought countless battles in Yunnan before he arrived at the commander of the guard. At this time, his face was red and his joy was revealed. He clasped his fists and said loudly: "I will cultivate Prince Xie and I am willing to drive the prince forward!"

"You and Wang Bin in Luorong have not won the battle, but the crime is not on you, and they are not good at retreating." Zhu Gaoxu praised, "General Chen used the remnants of the army to force Pingyuefu, and quickly surrendered to the capital city to create a fighter opportunity for the battle in Yangshuo County, and made great contributions."

"Yin Desheng, the former vanguard of Yunnan, was promoted to the commander of the Yunnan vanguard." Hou Hai continued to recite and added, "General Yin has obtained the Zhongwei Iron Roll."

Zhu Gaoxu stood in front of Yin Desheng and encouraged: "I remember you, do your best! Our criminal army has clear rewards and punishments, and we will not treat brave and meritorious soldiers unfairly. General Yin will be promoted in the future."

Unexpectedly, Yin Desheng said: "Prince, the last general doesn't care much about the promotion of the official position."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, but in front of everyone, he still maintained a very patient attitude and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Yin Desheng ignored Chen Zhen's hint and said, "I don't want those dead brothers to die in vain!

In the past, the Mo General fought against Duobang City in Annan Kingdom, and more than half of the soldiers were injured and killed, and the remaining brothers crawled out of the dead. Later, the Mo General followed the prince to attack Sichuan, attacked Guizhou City, and marched into Guangxi. The brothers who survived from death were all dead. The Mo General also looked down on life and death a lot, but he didn't want to attack the criminal army and become rebels. Those brothers who died in battle were insulted as rebels."

"Of course we can't die in vain!" Zhu Gaoxu said seriously, "We bleed for the sake of the righteousness of the world and to govern the Ming Dynasty better. I also want to die, so that I can accomplish such a great cause, but it is obviously impossible."

Yin Desheng's words were a little stimulating to Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu started to raise an army and launched an internal war to protect himself, followed by a fight for power and profit. However, he personally led his troops to experience countless battles, so he naturally knew the price on the battlefield and the countless casualties caused by the fighting between the two sides.

Zhu Gaoxu never felt noble, but he had not yet been bad enough to a certain extent. Faced with serious consequences, he never regretted it, but he was inevitably guilty... No matter who is right or wrong, the casualties of this war were hundreds of thousands and countless people were displaced; and it was something that had never happened in history.

So Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be convincing himself and said a few more words: "If I ruled the Ming Dynasty, I would definitely be able to do better!"

Yin Desheng is the youngest military general here, and he does not seem to doubt Zhu Gaoxu's words. Zhu Gaoxu could tell from his eyes that this person seemed to be a hundred households. In just over a year, he moved closer to the military post of the first-level military position at the Wei level, and his ideas were not as complicated as others.

However, most of the generals present ignored anything else. When they heard Zhu Gaoxu say that he wanted to rule the Ming Dynasty, everyone immediately clasped their fists and said in unison: "The prince is wise and magical!"

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu finally calmed down and continued to reward other generals.

At this time, the soldiers carrying the wooden plates of gold, silver, jewelry and wooden platters also came in. Zhu Gaoxu was going to use these things to convert the rewards and distribute them to the meritorious generals.

...Since Zhu Gaoxu started his army, he has given many benefits and promises to various forces following him.

He is now so poor that there is basically no valuable thing left in the Han Palace, and everything that can be sold is replenished. Although he has successively won and expanded, the entire Han Dynasty army plundered a lot of wealth in the treasury of various places, but it has all been distributed to the soldiers.

Therefore, the civil and military officials under Zhu Gaoxu still supported him very much, because Zhu Gaoxu's existence provided a guarantee for the survival and interests of many people.

He doesn't really believe that everyone is loyal to themselves, but he believes that the world will be loyal to themselves. Perhaps only by sharing the benefits of the battle with a group of people can we gain more loyalty.

Wang Bin was also in the central hall. Not only did he not receive the reward, he was also directly demoted from the governor to the position of a personal soldier. Zhu Gaoxu observed Wang Bin intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that he seemed very calm and did not feel any dissatisfied.

Like the grandfather of King Jingjiang, or a relative, she seemed to be dissatisfied with Emperor Taizu's uneven rewards, and she wanted to defect to Chen Youliang.

When Zhu Gaoxu thought of this, he said to Wang Bin in a casual tone: "Brothers may not be friends, but friends are often like brothers."
