Followed by a long procession, divided into phalanxes, each phalanx of 1,000 people, stepping on the same step point, eleven phalanxes also stepping on the same step point, tens of thousands of people in unison, stepping on the school field that has just been leveled, like a long dragon rumbling.

When they arrived at the foot of Fang Mountain, they suddenly changed to a flung step, still a uniform pace, and every step on the ground looked so imposing. It would have raised the soaring loess, but a drizzle fell in the sky, which made the footsteps of this army even heavier like a drum, and shook the hearts of everyone present.

This army walked past for a long time, and the monarchs and ministers on Fang Mountain were still immersed in shock, they had never seen an army of more than 10,000 people, and their movements were as consistent as one person. The shock of seeing this scene for the first time made them instantly change formations and perform dazzling riding skills against the army behind them...... It's all a bit of a blind eye.

Coupled with the rainfall of Fangcai, he was compared to auspicious nectar by a word minister, and for a time the ministers were like cháo, praising the young man of the emperor's grandson in front of the emperor.

Looking at this scene with cold eyes, Zhu Gaosui, who was wearing a beautiful light armor, gently stabbed Zhu Gaoxu with his hand, and whispered, "Second brother, do you understand?" The father made it clear that he wanted to put gold on the kid's face. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face was blue, and he snorted: "Little hairy child, don't be afraid" But looking at his face, you can see that he is insincere. This is not difficult to understand, to rì, this kind of scene is all in the limelight, the fat cripple can only be watched from the wall, but this kind of scene seems to be gone forever, the fat cripple has a good son, and he can already earn face for him

Could it really be like the legend, this Zhu Zhanji was born in response to a dream? Did my father really dream of the 'descendants, eternal prosperity, Dagui? Zhu Gaoxu was frightened for a while, and then shook his head and threw this ridiculous thought out of his mind...... When Zhu Zhanji was born, he was in the palace, but he didn't hear what his father said about the rumors of Dagui, and it was clearly concocted by Yao Guangxiao before his father raised his army

As soon as he thought of Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Gaoxu hated it so much, he thought that under his own flattery, the old thing could at least remain neutral, but he didn't expect him to help the boss save Zhou Xin quietly, and took the little Xiucai from Zhejiang as an apprentice, so that everyone in the capital said that Young Master Yao finally expressed his support for the prince, so that the advantages that he had easily established were all over again.

When Zhu Gaoxu was full of resentment, his father Zhu Di opened his mouth: "What is the project tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Gaosui stabbed his second brother, and only then did Zhu Gaochu come back to his senses and said: "Returning to my father, it is a drill in front of the emperors of all armies."

"The trick of the false story, today is enough." Zhu Di said lightly: "Mingrì, you have to move something real." ”

"Please Father, Emperor Mingxun丨" Zhu Gaoxu shook jīng Shinto.

"You also know that this military parade is for the purpose of preparing the army, and when it is ready, I will drive the army to conquer Warat" Zhu Di lowered his voice and said: "I want to take this opportunity to practice the opening of the army, resist the enemy's attack, let the troops warm up and sweat, and then the training will be targeted." ”

"Father is wise." Zhu Gaoxu immediately said.

"But someone needs to play Mahamu." Zhu Di said slowly: "This fang is also a generation of heroes, aggressive like fire, cunning like a fox, ordinary generals really can't compare with him"

"If the father is relieved, how about the son-in-law to play Mahamu?" Zhu Gaoxu volunteered.

"That's exactly what I mean," Zhu Di finally smiled and said, "Looking at the generals, only my Qingque can do it." If you don't agree, your father will have to go up in person. Because when Zhu Gaoxu was born, there was a green birthmark on his left shoulder, which was shaped like a bird, so he got this nickname. But after the king of Han came of age, Zhu Di would only call him that way when he was happy.

"How can a son disappoint his father," Zhu Gaoxu said proudly.

"Good, good." Zhu Di twisted his beard and said in a deep voice: "You take the four guards of Long Xiang and Huben, and I will give you the three thousand battalions, just play to your heart's content, don't leave your hands The harder you fight, the more problems you expose, the better they can be targeted, and then there will be fewer dead people on the battlefield." ”

"Erchen understands" Zhu Gaoxu nodded heavily, Long Xiang and Hu Ben each had 5,000 cavalry, which was the core strength of the cavalry in Beijing. The 3,000 battalion is one of the three most precious battalions of the father, composed of 3,000 cavalry outside the Saiwai, and it is the strongest cavalry under Zhu Di, and it has expanded to 10,000 now.

With these 30,000 cavalry, coupled with his father's words, Zhu Gaoxu is confident that he can let go and teach the whole army to see how powerful he is.

After receiving the order from his father, Zhu Gaoxu went to organize people, and Zhu Gaosui quietly followed: "Second brother, how can you agree to play Mahamu?" ”

"Because others don't have the ability to play," Zhu Gaoxu said proudly.

"But it's a losing battle." Zhu Gaosui frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will damage the prestige of the second brother." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed with a firm light: "My father told me not to keep my hand, so I naturally want to fight for victory." ”

"Although my father said this, but the army under his personal command was defeated by you, where can you put your face down, and your heart can be happy?" Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said: "It is very unwise to be quick for a while, causing a gap between father and son.

"......" Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment: "Then what should I do, deliberately release water?" ”

"That doesn't show the second brother's ability, and it makes my father and the generals look down on him." Zhu Gaosui still shook his head and said

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work" Zhu Gaoxu paced back and forth in a sullen manner: "I really want to suffocate people to death."

"That's why I said, the second brother shouldn't have agreed."

"I've already agreed" Zhu Gaoxu glared at him and said, "You said something useful, okay?"

"Okay." Zhu Gaosui sighed and said: "In my opinion, the second brother can give full play to the advantages of cavalry, touch it and leave, take the consumption of his father's troops as the key, and wait for a few beautiful battles of annihilation, and then deliberately sell a flaw for his father to catch." In this way, everyone knows that it not only shows the strength of the second brother, but also preserves the prestige of the father, are you right? ”

"Makes sense." Zhu Gaoxu finally showed a smile and said, "That's it"

At the end of the emperor's military parade, the sky was already dark, and the army set camp around Fangshan, looking from the mountain, a camp next to a camp, the drums heard each other, and the lights were filled, like the Great Wall that was constantly watching. With the terrain, the mountains rise and fall, winding and stretching, incomparably majestic.

Zhu Di's imperial camp is located on Fang Mountain, which is not high and steep on all sides, just like a city, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are also Shenji Battalion, Wujun Battalion, Jinwuwei and Yulinwei surrounding, which can ensure the safety of the emperor.

In the huge imperial tent, Zhu Di summoned the generals, and first praised Zhu Zhanji's good life, and the generals naturally echoed in unison. In addition to platoon emperor sycophants, they are also convinced, and the performance of today's young army is obvious to all, and the military appearance and military prestige of such a military are definitely not much worse in combat effectiveness. It can take a few months to reincarnate a group of croppers, and His Royal Highness Taisun does have two brushes, not to mention that he is only sixteen years old

But Zhu Gaoxu on the side blew up his lungs, but he still had to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Big brother, why is your good son not like you at all?" ”

"Yes, like his emperor." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile. At the beginning, Xie Jin's look at the holy grandson, those three words were like a thorn inserted in Zhu Gaochu's heart, and he was touched by Zhu Gaochi's understatement, and his nose was crooked with anger

"It looks like a god," Zhu Gaoxu said in a sullen voice: "My father is also a sixteen-year-old who led the troops, and what he brought out was a heroic master who could directly fight the Mongols. I don't know if the young army of Lu Dao Zhanji is a real guy or a good look? ”

"I'm not good at this," Zhu Gaochi shook his head and smiled: "But looking at my father's happiness, it shouldn't be bad." ”

"......" Zhu Gaoxu was so blocked that he couldn't speak again, and he was easily ready to ridicule him, and his father spoke again, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

At this time, Zhu Di began to announce the next stage of the exercise, and he and Zhu Gaoxu led the army to fight against each other, Zhu Gaoxu's side was 30,000 of the most sharp cavalry, and the remaining more than 400,000 troops were on the emperor's side. The battlefield was set within a radius of 500 miles south of Fangshan, which was a rare large plain south of the Yangtze River, and the low mountains and hills did not affect the cavalry maneuver at all. It is rare in the Jiangnan generation and can simulate the landform of the grassland.

Now all the generals understood that His Royal Highness the King of Han was going to play the role of Mahamu, and Mahamu's army was 30,000 to 50,000, but in terms of sharpness, it was definitely not as good as the 30,000 led by the King of Han. And the emperor wants to personally conquer, which is almost four or five hundred thousand troops...... It's not just to outfew, it's to carry and transport the grain and grass needed deep into the grasslands.

Of course, the limited battlefield was far inferior to the vast steppe, which limited the maneuver of the cavalry. But the emperor also gave almost all the assault power under his command to the other party, so that his side could not use cavalry against cavalry, so that the king of Han, who played Mahamu, got an absolute advantage in maneuverability, and simulated the real battlefield to the greatest extent.

After Zhu Di finished dividing the sides, he announced that he was not allowed to enter villages and towns, not to disturb the people, and not to ask the people for information, so he asked Zhu Gaoxu to leave with his people first.

Before leaving, Zhu Gaoxu smiled at Zhu Zhanji: "Boy, the battlefield is not a show, even if it is a drill, there is a danger of hurting people. When the time comes, don't be reckless, and hurry up to raise the white flag. ”

"What about hundreds of thousands of troops on our side," Zhu Zhanji also smiled: "There is not much hope for encountering." ”

"I hope." Zhu Gaoxu didn't smile a little, saluted his father and left the camp.

After the Han King's side left, Zhu Di began to assign tasks to the generals, and for this battlefield general, he was naturally familiar with it. ordered An Yuan to wait for Liu Sheng to lead the camp, and the governors Ma Wang, Chen Yi, Cheng Kuan, and Jin Yu were the deputy generals; Wu'an waited for Zheng Heng to lead the Chinese army, and Xing'an Bo Xu Heng, the governor Ma Ying and Zhang An were the deputy generals; Ningyang Hou Chen Mao led the left post, Xiangcheng Bo Li Long, and the governor Zhu Chong as the deputy general; Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, led the right post, and then Amber Chen Ying and Governor Hu Yuan were the deputy generals; Chengshan Hou Wang Tong led Zuoye, Baoding Hou Meng Ying, and Du Governor Cao De were deputy generals; Governor Tan Qing led the right fold, and the new Ningbo Bo Tan Zhong and Governor Ma Ju were the deputy generals; Governors Liu Jiang and Zhu Rong are forwards...... The distribution is in good order, and the generals perform their duties, clarify their responsibilities, and receive orders. Only Zhu Zhanji was left scratching his ears and cheeks there, looking at the imperial grandfather.
