Sun Chuanting was overjoyed when he heard this, there is a door, it seems that this stranger wants to use his own strength to deal with the thief, if he can really get a strong arm to help, wouldn't he be like a tiger?

"In this case, Zhu Zhuangshi, this governor intends to invite you to enter my army, serve the imperial court, and deal with the thieves together, I don't know what Zhu Zhuangshi wants?"

Sun Chuanting hurriedly said.

Zhu Jie glanced at Sun Chuanting with a smile and replied, "Master Inspector, this is the eagle dog of the imperial court?" ”

Gao Jie's face on the side changed, and even Sun Chuanting's face was a little unnatural, if it was like this in normal times, it would be enough for Jinyiwei to dismantle this stranger, what is the eagle dog of the imperial court?

"Zhuangshi, since you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you should know the word loyalty, life in the world, do not know loyalty, do not know shame, how is it different from livestock?"

Gao Jie said angrily.

"Gao Jie!"

Sun Chuanting hurriedly stopped Gao Jie, turned his face, and continued: "Zhu Zhuangshi, although General Gao's words are disrespectful, there is still a certain truth, you are deeply taught by the masters, how can you not know loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness?" You're testing Bento......"

Zhu Jie nodded, this Sun Chuanting is worthy of being a famous general, his mind and city government are indeed not comparable to Gao Jie, at least he has the demeanor of a general.

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Don't blame the superintendent, it's just a joke, serving the imperial court, it is naturally a matter of course, learning literature and martial arts, and selling the emperor's family, it's just that I want to follow the adults, but I need to show a certain amount of sincerity......

Sun Chuanting replied lightly: "Zhu Zhuangshi, I only care about whether Your Excellency has real talent and learning, as for high-ranking officials and Houlu, it is absolutely not a problem, as long as you show your ability." ”

Zhu Jie's heart is like a mirror, Sun Chuanting wants to see if he is worthy of his strong recommendation.

"Master Inspector, the Ming army is on the verge of a desperate situation, don't you know it?"

Zhu Jie smiled.

Sun Chuanting's expression was stunned, and he asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Jie stood up and replied: "Master Inspector, it's very simple, your army has gone east out of Tongguan and marched all the way to the southeast, which is thousands of miles away from the hinterland of Shaanxi, and the lone army is deep, and the strength of your army does not exceed 100,000, but the strength of the thieves has exceeded 300,000, which is the first; Second, now that Henan has been plagued by disasters year after year, thousands of miles of red land, and all the treasury of the prefectures and counties in Henan have been looted by thieves, what should you do with your logistics supplies? Without grain and grass, Li Zicheng can consume the imperial court troops to death just for you; Third, if Li Zicheng sent his right-hand men to advance to the northwest and cut off your army's grain route and retreat, wouldn't your army become a turtle in an urn? ”

Gao Jie hasn't reacted yet, but Sun Chuanting can't sit still, he has been faintly feeling uneasy these days, but he doesn't understand what the problem is, as for the general soldiers, it is even more confused, but he didn't expect that now the Ming army is already at the end of the crossbow, and now this dilemma has been broken by this stranger in front of him!

"Zhu Zhuangshi, you are alarmist, right? Even if there is no grain in Henan, there is still in Shandong and Shaanxi, and this governor is just a big deal......"

Sun Chuanting barely suppressed the agitation in his heart and defended himself.

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Master Inspector, don't deceive yourself, now that the enemy is outnumbered, almost the entire Henan is under Li Zicheng's control, even if your army wants to transfer grain from Shandong and Shaanxi, it will definitely be able to enter?" At this time, do you still dare to divide troops to protect the grain road? Isn't that just in the hands of the thief and let everyone break it? ”

Sun Chuanting was speechless......

Zhu Jie continued: "Master Inspector, this time is different from the past, it turns out that Li Zicheng is also very powerful, he is a tiger general, but that's all, whether it is you or Lu Xiangsheng, you are sure to annihilate it, but now Li Zicheng first received Song Xiance, then Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, and his wings have been completed, these three people have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, look at the current Li Zicheng is the same as two or three years ago?" In the past, it was just looting, but now, they are encroaching on the Whale Swallowing Prefecture Mansion step by step, establishing a solid base, and with the strategic space and logistics supply in the rear, how easy is it to exterminate Li Zicheng? ”

"Okay,"

Sun Chuanting no longer defended, and replied: "Zhu Zhuangshi, welcome to join the Qin army of this governor, from today on, you are the military counselor of this governor, the general of the left wing of the pro-army, and the commander of the main force of the three thousand Qin army, how about it?" ”

"Master Overseer!"

Gao Jie on the side was taken aback, this master of the Inspector is inevitably too generous, right? As soon as he came up, let Zhu Jie become a battalion general, a left-wing battalion general, that is 3,000 people under his jurisdiction, and 3,000 households in charge?

Sun Chuanting waved his hand and replied: "General Gao, you have to be clear, thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, not to mention anything else, just because of Zhu Zhuangshi's vision, no one in our army can compare, as for his ability, you are also very clear, you can compare?" You don't feel the crisis, but Ben Du has already felt it, flowers and oil, it seems that we have won a series of battles, in fact, we have fallen into the trap that Li Zicheng dug for us, his trick is strong and clear, luring the enemy deep, but it is really powerful, let us fall into the trap unconsciously, Zhu Zhuangshi is right, Li Zicheng has a master to help him......"

Gao Jie's heart jumped, and he asked urgently, "Master Overseer, do you mean that we are really in trouble?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and replied: "Yes, predicament, if there is no victory, I am afraid that we will be struggling in the next ten days, with this victory, we have grabbed thousands of stones of grain, but it is just a matter of surviving, enter, we don't have enough food and grass, retreat, the emperor strictly ordered the army, this is a dead end......"

Gao Jie's heart was cold, he didn't expect that the situation was already so grim!

"Master Overseer, what are we going to do next? We still have 100,000 brothers under our hands, so we can't just bury them in Henan......"

In times of crisis, even if he is as brave as Gao Jie, he has to fight Xiao Jiujiu, in this chaotic era, military power is the king, and with military power in his hands, he can run rampant, without military power, he is nothing!

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Jie and said in a low voice: "Zhu Zhuangshi, no, General Zhu, how do we face the current dangerous situation, and please teach me ......."

Zhu Jie frowned, and replied slowly: "In such a critical situation, we have no choice but to take risks, and there is only one way to break the situation of insufficient food and grass - to feed the war with war!" ”

"Feeding war with war?"

Sun Chuanting asked, "What is the use of war to feed war?" ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Master Inspector, the reason why we are passive is actually because we are officers and soldiers, and we can't loot everywhere, but the thieves don't have this scruples, everywhere they go, they don't have any grass, all the food has been robbed by them, if we want to turn the situation around, we can't rob the people, so rob the thieves!" ”
