Zhu Houzhao can't do anything else, he is a good trick, he just admits a dead reason, Shen Xi must take him with him when he goes to the northwest to lead the troops to fight, he wants to learn from Huo Qu to be sick and seal the wolf Juxu, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't even know what the Tatars look like. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Houzhao in Shen Xi's eyes is no longer the little one he was back then, Zhu Houzhao has grown taller now, but the childishness on his face has not changed, and he speaks with a stubbornness and persistence.

If this kid hadn't been addicted to pleasure, he might have been a talented man and become a hero. But Zhu Houzhao's growth environment is too special, born in sorrow and died in peace, Zhu Houzhao has never had any sense of crisis since he was a child, so that a twelve or thirteen-year-old hairy child understands what historical responsibility is, it is too nonsense.

Shen Xi was silent, and Zhu Houzhao angrily struck up with Shen Xi, as if Shen Xi did not agree to him and swore not to give up. Shen Xi said: "How much does the prince know about the war in the northwest?" ”

"Mr. Shen, is this taking the school exam?" Zhu Houzhao seems to be quite confident, as if he has done his homework in this area before.

Shen Xi nodded and made a "please" gesture: "You can tell me and listen!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "This year's rekindling of the Northwest Beacon Fire is the war between my Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, the Tatars are the descendants of the Mongols, and the Yuan Dynasty was established by them before. ”

"The Mongols are the defeated generals of our Ming Dynasty, and now they dare to come to the frontier to cause trouble, I must let them know that my Ming is not so easy to bully. Mr. Shen led the troops to fight the Tatars, and I was the vanguard of Mr. Shen, and I had good horseback riding skills, and I could ride a tall horse to charge ahead! ”

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Shen Xi has finally seen it!

Zhu Houzhao was determined to make trouble with him, the request to go to the battlefield was purely to find death, and he had to personally lead the troops as a pioneer, really when you are the true dragon son and have the protection of the ancestral gods?

On the battlefield, the sword doesn't recognize people!

Shen Xi advised: "Prince, some things are not as easy as you think, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Tatar invasion this time, and how many soldiers and horses I have in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Houzhao flattened his mouth and sneered: "It doesn't matter how much he has, the Tatars drink blood, and even Mr. said before that their living environment is harsh and the population is sparse, even if they are strong, what if they are strong?" I am not weak in the Ming Dynasty, I want to let the Tatars know that we have no cowards in the Ming Dynasty, there was Huo Quai's illness in the past, and now I have ...... Zhu Houzhao, fight with them. ”

"If you don't feel at ease, you can charge with me, I will definitely not disappoint Mr."

Shen Xi really wanted to slap this kid in the face, it's your business not to be afraid of death, don't drag me down, okay? When the prince left the East Palace, he was able to hide it for a while, but he couldn't delay it for a day.

Compared with the defeat at the border pass, the disappearance of the prince is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it is about the crown prince, Emperor Hongzhi has such a son in his life, Empress Zhang may not be a son or a daughter in her belly, even if she gives birth to a son, even if her body is healthy, it is absolutely impossible to let the infant child be the prince.

Shen Xi knew very well that the limit of Emperor Hongzhi was approaching, and the most important thing now was to ensure the smooth transfer of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty. If you work hard to cultivate the crown prince, but you don't wait for the throne, you die in the northwest, then what I, Shen Xi, have been doing all along, has become a joke!

"Okay, since you don't know, then I'll tell you!"

Shen Xi threatened, "Now the Tatars are attacking the border, and it is estimated that it is between 50,000 and 80,000, this is only a preliminary estimate, and it is still unknown how many soldiers and horses will be in the future." The number of troops garrisoned on the Ming frontier is about 250,000 to 350,000! ”

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "That's easy, our advantage is so obvious, and the city is still ours, haha, Mr. Shen, it's just too easy, you just let me go together, I promise not to make a mess for you!" ”

Shen Xi continued: "However, the 50,000 to 80,000 horses of the Tatars are basically cavalry, and the infantry is limited to the contingent that transports grain and grass and baggage in the follow-up, mainly outside the pass. ”

"From Juyong Pass out of the Inner Great Wall, to Datong Town, the Tatar cavalry encountered along the way is mostly in the number of 3,000 to 5,000 units, you can do it without a trace, even if you encounter more than 20,000 Ming infantry mixed soldiers and horses, you can easily win in more than a dozen charge rounds, and some even only need one charge, you can scatter the Ming 10,000 people, and then the Ming soldiers will be scattered!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Houzhao never thought that the Ming army would be so cowardly, and he asked in disbelief, "Sir, you're not wrong, right?" The Tatar horse team of 35,000 people, our 20,000 soldiers and horses, were scattered all at once? ”

Shen Xi said: "You haven't seen the fierceness of the Tatar cavalry, so naturally you don't know the horror of their cavalry. The Tatars almost grow on horseback, and riding and archery kung fu is their instinct, and my Ming army, there are very few horses, let alone soldiers who are good at riding, and the quality of war horses is uneven, and many of the grain and grass are not horses at all, but mules and donkeys! ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and asked, "What are mules and donkeys?" ”

"This is not the key, the key is that even if the Ming officers and soldiers are equipped with the same weapons and equipment, but when they fight with the Tatars, they are always inferior, mainly because they lack the blood and courage of the Tatars who are not afraid of death! The Ming Dynasty has always taken a defensive position against the northern barbarians, guarding in the city fortress, and letting the Tatars loot outside without paying attention, because the Ming soldiers know that in the field, the probability of our Ming army winning is less than one percent! Shen Xi said.

What Shen Xi said was the truth, but to Zhu Houzhao's ears, it was not the case at all.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Mr. Shen, even if you don't want to take me to the northwest, don't deceive me with this kind of words, I have more soldiers than others, more advanced weapons than others, and the risk of occupying the city fortress, you actually say that the probability of winning in the field is less than one percent?" I don't believe it, one life for one life on the battlefield, no matter how we should win! ”

Zhu Houzhao, like his father, has a blind confidence in the Ming army, and even most of the Ming people with the idea of "the heavenly kingdom" also hold this idea, thinking that as long as they unite as one, they can drive out the Tartars.

But the problem is that since the Yongle Emperor, the Ming Dynasty gave up the fertile Hetao area, and then lost the excellent horse farm and the barrier of Yinshan Mountain and Helan Mountain, and retreated in the Great Wall, using defense to deal with the barbarians in the north, and the result was that the land of the Ming Dynasty was encroached on by the foreign Yi step by step, first losing all the grasslands outside the Great Wall, and then the northeast was occupied by the Houjin, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to occupy the Central Plains.

Shen Xi asked, "When you go to the battlefield, can you exchange your life with the Tatars?" ”

"Why not?"

Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said triumphantly, "It's not usual, a few eunuchs can't get close to me, I may not be able to fight ten at a time, but there is absolutely no problem with two or three!" ”

"I don't believe that those Tatars have three heads and six arms!"

Those who don't know are fearless, Shen Xi feels this deeply. Shen Xi pointed at himself and asked, "Look at me, how many can one fight?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Houzhao looked Shen Xi up and down, although he was not as tall as Shen Xi, but his figure was much stronger than Shen Xi, he hesitated a little at the moment, and said unconvincedly: "With Mr.'s physique, it shouldn't be a problem for me to fight two at a time, right?" ”

Shen Xi said: "That's good, if the prince can knock me to the ground, then I will risk the world's disapproval and take the prince to the northwest, but if the prince can't...... Please go back to the palace, learn the art of the emperor in the palace with peace of mind, and be the holy lord of the Ming monarch in the future! ”

"That's what the gentleman said, I'm here!"

Zhu Houzhao relied on brute force to fight in the past, but he had a flexible mind, thinking that maybe he was younger than Shen Xi and not so rich in fighting experience, so he would engage in a sneak attack, but when he roared towards Shen Xi, ready to hold Shen Xi's waist and throw Shen Xi directly to the ground, he ignored a basic problem, that is, the battlefield is not wrestling, it is a real fight!

Shen Xi just took a step back, knowing that the bear child rushed over and couldn't stop, as soon as he stretched out his legs, he only heard a "poof", Zhu Houzhao fell to the ground fiercely, and the person stiffened on the ground for a while, and he didn't slow down for a while.

"Ahem, ahem...... Sir, you are cheating! ”

Zhu Houzhao reluctantly stood up from the ground, his little face full of dissatisfaction...... He didn't even understand the situation before he tripped over Shen Xi and fell to the ground, which in his opinion, Shen Xi's means of victory were not so righteous and bright. But he forgot that his own sneak attack was not a glorious thing.

Shen Xi stretched out his hand and asked, "Go on!" ”

"Hmph, sir, I wanted to give you a little face, since you ...... Look at the moves! ”

Zhu Hou took care of a few martial arts novels, and practiced a few times as a gourd, and thought he was a martial arts master, this time he still attacked secretly, but he still had to shout some nonsense about "looking at the moves" in his sneak attack, and he would remind the opponent before the fight, so it didn't even count as a sneak attack.

This time it was easier for Shen Xi to hide, but Zhu Houzhao was on guard, retained a bit of strength, did not trip over Shen Xi, and soon became entangled with Shen Xi.

Zhu Houzhao grabbed Shen Xi's arm and wanted to pull Shen Xi down, but Shen Xi borrowed his strength, Zhu Houzhao suddenly found himself falling backwards, and was tripped by Shen Xi under his feet, this time with the back of his head down, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

"Ouch!"

Zhu Houzhao fell not lightly this time, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.

Shen Xi asked, "Do you still want to come?" ”

"Come, why not? I don't believe in evil! "Zhu Houzhao is a child with a stubborn personality, losing to others is convincing, and losing to Shen Xi, a weak scholar, he is very difficult to accept, not to mention that Shen Xi has already said before that if he can't beat Shen Xi, he won't have a chance to go to the northwest battlefield.

It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao is always just a thirteen-year-old child, whether it is wrestling, or fist and foot kung fu, he has a gap with Shen Xi, even if Shen Xi is "weak", it is enough to play Zhu Houzhao around.

Zhu Houzhao finally understood one thing after falling all over his body, whether it was a sneak attack, a plot, or a head-to-head battle in the bright light, he could not defeat Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was very defensive of him, and he wanted to take advantage of Shen Xi to help him and have no chance to plot against Shen Xi.

"Old ...... Master! ”

Because this side fell to the end, the tables, chairs and benches knocked down a lot, and the sound was very loud, Yun Bo heard the sound and came to check, and saw the little guest who came just now, lying on the ground dirty, panting with his mouth wide open, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, and he was stunned for a while.
