In the East Warehouse Pavilion in the Imperial Palace of the Capital, after Xu Huizu walked past the partition, the servants inside went out, and only Haitao was left.
Dongnuan Pavilion has gone through the three dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle. Until now, the layout of the Hongxi dynasty has not changed much, but the decorations inside have been changed a lot recently.
The flesh on Emperor Zhu Gaochi was spread on a large chair covered with several layers of fur.
The Ming Dynasty territory map was hung on the wall behind him, like a big screen.
On the imperial desk covered with silk, a stack of memorials were placed far away; there was only one in front of Zhu Gaochi, who seemed to have read it repeatedly...
Before Gao Xu raised his army, he made a detailed report that Gao Xu wanted to conquer Annan.After hearing this, Xu Huizu said on the spot that the report was fake and asserted that Gao Xu would go to Sichuan and would go to Guizhou!The result is indeed called Xu Huizu.
Today, Zhu Gaochi did not summon anyone else, but summoned his former enemy, his uncle, Duke of Wei.
I pay homage to the Lord.Xu Huizu bowed and bowed.
Zhu Gaochi raised his hand and made a gesture without saying a word.After there were no outsiders in the Donghun Pavilion, Gao Chi released a worried look.
Xu Huizu stood up straight, took two steps forward, stood quietly in front of the imperial case, and did not rush to speak; he had sharp eyes and found the memorial placed in front of the emperor, as if he knew that there was something important to discuss today.
I remember what Duke Wei said before, that a talented general who is given to God must have the courage to take risks and the perseverance to persevere.I suddenly felt that someone seemed to fit the truth you said... Zhu Gaochi said.
Xu Huizu's expression changed and he immediately said unhappy: Gao Xu has been naughty and cunning since childhood, how can he be honored?What I say is a great talent that is respected by the world, and it is definitely not a rebellion that is not honest and unfamiliar with loyalty, filial piety and righteousness!
Zhu Gaochi nodded, his expression was very complicated, as if he was more relieved, and as if he was confused on his face.
However, Gao Xu captured Sichuan too quickly. Xue Lu used more than 100,000 to deal with Gao Xu's less than 70,000 troops, but the entire army was defeated within one day.Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice.
Xu Huizu immediately said: In the battle of Annan, Gao Xu led the Western Route Army mainly the Sichuan Guards' military households; and Qu Neng actually surrendered to the rebel king in Gao Xu's army!Qu Neng's talent should be beyond Xue Lu's ability.This defeat is almost reasonable, so the emperor should not pay too much attention to a defeat.
Zhu Gaochi breathed out, picked up the memorial in front of him, threw it forward, Duke Wei looked at what Zhang Fu wrote and talked to me about the memorial.
I obey the order.Xu Huizu bowed forward and picked up the memorial on the side of the imperial desk.
In his recent memorial, Zhang Fu not only insisted on his proposal to suspend the decisive battle, siege the southwest, defend Guizhou and divide Yunchuan, but also used a long passage of words to complain... It is generally said that from north to south of Yunnan, the terrain is difficult to move on, the army is difficult to spread, and the food and grass are often plagued by cavalry. Because of the shortage of grain, the food and grass of chieftains in various places have caused the chieftains to hold grudges and often inform the rebels, and the grain and roads are more likely to be plagued.
Zhu Gaochi said calmly: Several ministers in the court have written letters to impeach Zhang Fu, saying that he deliberately delayed and was probably misleading the opportunity to fight, and misled the country and the people.
Xu Huizu raised his head at this time and said: The Lord has a clear understanding. There are indeed many strange reasons and established strategies on the battlefield.I believe that the court officials should not make arbitrarily arbitrarily make up the battlefield, but should instead listen to the suggestions of the generals ahead.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Huizu and said: Does the Duke of Wei also support Zhang Fu's proposal?
No!Xu Huizu hurriedly said, "I am just saying it out loud, and I am also very disgusted by those who impeach the generals in front as they wish!"I only think what Zhang Fu said may be the truth.
Emperor Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but nodded again. He thought that Xu Huizu not only looked down on Gao Xu, but also looked down on Zhang Fu and would not say good things for Zhang Fu.
However, now it seems that the Duke of Wei is still a real person with public intention.
Xu Huizu said again, but Zhang Fu was too cautious when he was in the army, and seemed to be a little afraid of Gao Xu!When the two armies compete, fear the opponent first, this will not work!
Zhu Gaochi immediately asked: What is my uncle’s opinion?
Xu Huizu said: When Gao Xu first revived, the court transferred Gu Cheng and Zhang Fu to march into Yunnan, while Guo Zi and Xue Lu were in charge of Sichuan.The court made a general idea and wanted to besiege the rebels in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.The military and national strategy is the most taboo to change the orders every day.
Although the official army failed in the first battle, it was difficult to fight on the battlefield and setbacks were inevitable.The emperor must not immediately shake his determination to win because of the defeat in Sichuan.
He paused for a moment and continued, I thought that Gu Chengkeri arrived in Kunming and Zhang Fu's army also entered Yunnan. At this time, the battlefield in the south cannot be given up; the official army should take advantage of the opportunity to recover the entire territory of Yunnan and first surround the rebels in Sichuan!
After Gao Xu captured Sichuan, he would never be trapped in Shu and would continue to conquer the city!
Yunnan was his old nest that he had been running for several years, and he was afraid he was unwilling to give up easily; and the army marched eastward from the river channel in Sichuan, and the army was difficult to march. The court had deployed heavy troops in Huguang one after another, and the rebels were unable to break through for a while.
Therefore, I guess that Gao Xu would immediately attack Guizhou.
Zhu Gaochi nodded frequently when he heard this.
Seeing this, Xu Huizu continued to talk: At this time, Zhang Fu's march was slow, and he had to rely mainly on Gu Chengjun to recover the troops in Yunnan!
The rebels may go to Guizhou, and there are also attempts to siege Wei and save Zhao; if Gu Cheng is forced to give up attacking Kunming and rescuing Guizhou in the future, the battlefield will be rested in Yunnan.
Therefore, when the minister advised, the court should immediately mobilize elite troops from the army gathered in Huguang to form a single army, and immediately dispatch it to Changde Prefecture in Huguang and advance west along the official road.Rescue Guizhou!
When Xu Huizu said this, he looked confident and said: If the imperial court expected the enemy to take the lead, the army would take the lead in entering Guizhou first.When the rebels attack Guizhou, Gu Cheng and Zhang Fu can recover Yunnan; while Huguang's army advances westward and threatens Sichuan.At that time, wasn’t Gao Xu trapped in a cage and led by the official army?
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's expression improved and said: The Wei State's public intellectuals are right!I immediately summoned the ministers to discuss this strategy.
Xu Huizu said: Soldiers are the most important thing, and the emperor must decide the following strategy as soon as possible!
Zhu Gaochi said: I will discuss matters with all the ministers today. The Imperial Gate will make a decision within three days, and the Duke of Wei will also come.
The minister receives the order!Xu Huizu worshipped.
Zhu Gaochi originally thought that Xu Huizu should leave, but Xu Huizu said in a deep voice: The military strategy is cloudy, and the soldiers are never tired of deceit.In addition to the battle formation, the strategy of disagreement may have unexpected effects.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately remembered Jianwenchao's plan to deal with him, and inexplicably received a secret letter from Jianwenchao.
At that time, Zhu Gaochi realized this plan and immediately handed over the unopened secret letter and messenger together to escape.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but wonder whether the plan of disagreement at that time was the idea of Xu Huizu?!However, Zhu Gaochi did not mention the old things again and asked as if nothing had happened: Who should I get rid of?
Mu Sheng.Xu Huizu said.
Mu Sheng?Zhu Gaochi frowned and repeated.Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin died in the capital. Mu Sheng had already surrendered to the enemy in Yunnan and openly became an accomplice of the rebellion. Can he still be alienated?
Xu Huizu pressed his hand on his chest and said: Master, some people's loyalty is sincere... He paused slightly, but the loyalty of most people in the world is due to pros and cons, likes and dislikes.
Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said: Let’s discuss it later.
...Xu Huizu came out of the East Warm Pavilion, walked up the inclined corridor, and went straight out of the Ganqing Gate.Then he walked for a long time before passing the Wumen and Chengtian Gate, and returned to the Five Army Governor's Office where he was on duty, located next to Qianbulang.
After a while, Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin who had just been transferred back to the capital to report his duties, and He Fu, who was still in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, came first to meet Xu Huizu.
The two of them talked about military affairs one after another, never mentioning those indecent words.
For example, if the Duke of Wei returns, our old generals have a chance again, whether we have a place in the court in the future, it depends on the Duke of Wei... and so on, it is vulgar!
In the past, those old brothers were from good backgrounds and had seen the world. How could they be like the heroes of Jingnan now?
He has a low background and his virtues are of varying quality. He can say who you are and who I am. It is simply a disgrace to have such a high status!
The British Duke was calm and courageous.Xu Huizu said earnestly, he was still a little bit lacking in mind in general.
Wu Gao immediately nodded and said: The Duke of Wei made a reasonable statement. If the Duke of England was asked to serve as the general of Pinghan and coordinate the overall situation, it would probably not be a good thing for the country and the country.
Xu Huizu was very helpful after hearing this. He liked Wu Gao's way of speaking very much. A real man should have great ambitions to be in mind!Instead of being full of frivolous things and specializing in forming cliques and seeking personal gain.
He Fudao: The old minister of the State of Wei was polite and had divine help (the father of Chenghuang Temple). The last general believed that the State of Wei was the best candidate for the general Pinghan.
Xu Huizu shook his head without hesitation and said: This proposal is not feasible, and the court officials will definitely not accept it!
Neither Wu Gao nor He Fu continued to say anything, and buried his head in thinking about something.
If there is no trust and support from the important people in the palace and the court, it is really difficult for us to be valued.He Fu said in a deep voice as if he was thinking.
Xu Huizu's eyes moved from He Fu's face to Wu Gao, staying here, and said calmly: If you have great achievements, you can never make up for it.
The study was in a mess, and everyone didn't explain it too thoroughly, but they all knew what was going on.
... In just a few years after the Jingnan Campaign, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty used different means to purge and suppress the old ministers of Jianwen one after another.
The forces of the various parties in the former court almost no longer exist, and only a few surrenders remained.
How can the civil and military officials and soldiers of the guards in the court now allow the old people to make a comeback?
The current situation is that people like them cannot enter the eyes of powerful people and court officials at all. If people in the court heard that the old Jianwen people still had any chance, I am afraid that many people would laugh out loud.
Dongnuan Pavilion has gone through the three dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle. Until now, the layout of the Hongxi dynasty has not changed much, but the decorations inside have been changed a lot recently.
The flesh on Emperor Zhu Gaochi was spread on a large chair covered with several layers of fur.
