Zhu Cilang stood at the top of the city, and his eyes were within his reach of the thief's flag.

The city was already martial law, and there was no pass issued by the Eastern Palace Guard Camp, so I could only walk around their respective yards, completely isolating the possibility of someone opening the door in the city. Judging from the results of the bandits, it seemed that everything was defeated, but in fact it was mainly due to the local gentry opening the door to welcome the thieves.

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and this is true.

Xiao Mo was leading his troops outside, and Wu Yan also went to Luoyang to take charge, allocate grain and re-plan a grain transport route to ensure that Sun Chuanting ahead would not be defeated in an instant. Zhu Cixuan felt that he knew the answers to the big questions in the math exam... He just knew the answers and had no idea about the problem-solving process, so he was now in such a passive state.

Liu Zongmin was like a sharp knife, silently stabbing the weakness of the officers and soldiers. The political turmoil caused by this is hard to say, and the passiveness in the military is obvious - the grain transport team should go a hundred miles longer to avoid the bandits besieged by Ruzhou. Moreover, whether the newly opened grain road is useful, whether the road conditions can be carried out, and whether there are Tuzhes along the way... various problems have created a huge mine formation.

Zhu Cilang could only break forward.

"The wind is strong on the top of the city, Your Highness will go down earlier." Chen De kept trembling in his heart when he saw the prince leaning against the female wall. He was a archer who was good at shooting and knew the reason why there were people. If a master came out of the camp and came alone, he would attack the prince with a heavy bow and powerful arrow... Although there was a topic of discussion among the people after dinner, as a military minister in the court, he might have a very difficult life.

"Look." Zhu Cixuan pointed to the newly dug soil outside the city, which was fortifications dug by the thieves. When they were attacking the big cities of Feng, Luoyang, and Xiangyang, they found that it was a good idea to dig trenches and besiege the defenders in the city. He also thought of this. He also used this trick when attacking and attacking the Daling River.

Considering that there is neither Weibo nor telephone in this era, there is no possibility of plagiarism and reference between the two. It can only be said that the combat methods of officers and soldiers have been completely mastered by the opponent and have not been changed.

"Look at these fortifications, and the dispatch of these husbands and servants." Zhu Cilang narrowed his eyes by the wind, as if someone was blocking his mouth. He let the limelight and turned around and said, "Are these still bandits?"

"Your Highness," Chen Deying said, "Liu Zongmin is the right-hand man of the thief, and he commands the Zhongquan personal guards. He is the most fierce battalion among the five thief camps." The implication is that he cannot be despised as "bandits".

"Yes," Zhu Ciyang sighed, "They came in indirectly and would never bring so many civilians. Where did these people come from?"

Of course it was from the locals who were thieves.

Chen De's lips moved, and he finally managed to control his mouth and did not tell the truth.

When facing superiors, all officials must stand firm: those who oppose the court are only a small group of foolish people who are bewitched; those who are competing with the thieves are only a very small number of unruly people who do not accept the king's transformation. In the overall situation, Huangming is still the object of loyalty to the people, and the backbone of the country is also loyal ministers and filial sons.

"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world." Zhu Cilang said softly.

This is different from his past work experience. Whether it is his direct subordinates or parachuted into new companies, Zhu Cixuan never worried about "public opinion" when facing unfamiliar subordinates. He always firmly believes: if you want to do it, do it well, and if you don't, get out quickly. There are definitely many you in the talent market.

However, now, Zhu Cixuan has begun to seriously consider the people's hearts. Iron blood in a small range can improve efficiency. However, in a great country with a population of over 100 million, relying solely on Iron blood will inevitably collapse.

Be gentle!

No wonder our ancestors always said that softness overcomes hardness.

"After all, the thief is a thief," Chen De turned the topic abruptly, "When he saw Your Highness Huangqi, he didn't dare to attack the city."

Zhu Cixuan smiled at him: "Do you believe this?"

Chen De smiled awkwardly and said, "I am sure that the thiefs don't attack the city. Not to mention His Highness, even if he is a governor, the governor is surrounded in the city. They should all be called like crazy."

"You are just the idea of ​​a powerful general." Zhu Cilan's forehead was a little cold because of the wind, and turned around and walked into the city tower. Chen De felt that His Highness seemed to be teaching something, followed closely, and was even a little too close, which made Min Zhanlian a little unhappy. After Ruzhou was surrounded, Min Zhanlian became Zhu Cilan's personal bodyguard, unavailable, afraid that there would be hidden spies to assassinate the crown prince.

Wu Weiye also followed closely, wondering if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would spit out any brilliant quatrains casually.

"If the general arrested me, the royal relative and noble, in order to make me a meritorious service, it would be a good thing." Zhu Cixuan entered the city tower, and the wind suddenly went out, and his voice seemed louder. After he sat down, he asked for a cup of hot water and continued, "But what a person Liu Zongmin is? Li Zicheng has even given him his personal guards, why do he still need credit?"

Chen De said intimately: That's right, there is still the saying that there is no reward for the great achievements!

"So," Zhu Cilang took the hot water casually, "When people lose their greed, they will be clear when they see the problem. It is a good thing for Sun Chuanting to capture Ruzhou or cannot capture Ruzhou. Why? Because it stabilizes the morale of the Qin Governor's military! Only when the general of Ruzhou cannot go down and wants to fight or fight, can you not know whether you should go back to rescue or be determined to advance sharply. Only in this way can the role of the front line be the greatest. If the morale of the Qin Governor's military moves, as long as it is a slight failure, it will lead to a defeat. This is why Liu Zongmin sieges but does not attack."

Min Zhanlian suddenly remembered what he had been telling his disciple: It was really scary when the energy was not released. It seems that the principles of fighting skills and military wars are all right.

Wu Weiye said intimately: This is really like a hidden ancient temple in the deep mountains. But when the old monk scoops water, he does not see the incense of yellow walls, it makes people think without mud... Slowly! If the enemy generals are so wise, then wouldn't we be so bad?

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Weiye suddenly had a cold sweat and his legs became weak. He looked at the Henan guerrillas again. He was not yet weak, but he was unmoved. He thought to himself: Only the wise and the foolish people of the lower world will not move, and I will not deceive you! It turns out that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger...

"So I have already sent a letter to the Qin Governor, so that he should not return immediately. I also asked Mr. Wu to send an imperial edict from all prefectures, courts, and the Ministry of War to transfer documents. He must go to Ruzhou first before he can be sent to the Qin Governor." Zhu Cixuan said: "This move is to stabilize the morale of the front line and prevent the Qin Governor from being anxious."

Chen De couldn't help but admire him. He remembered that his father and he were still full of prejudice against the prince before leaving, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Why don't you flatter me?" Zhu Cixuan took a sip of hot water and saw Chen De's face full of solemnity, he couldn't help but tease him.

"This time I am really convinced, but I can't say anything." After Chen De said that, he gritted his teeth: Isn't this a self-indulgent? Those words before have become flatterers! "Is there someone who was really convinced before, not all of them are flattering..." After Chen De said that, his heart became even more confused: This time! Three hundred taels of silver are coming out here! Oh my God! Let lightning strike me with a big mouth!

"The advance and retreat are lost," Zhu Cilang smiled gently, "It is because you are obscured by my identity and cannot see the essence. However, Liu Zongmin is better than you in this regard."

Chen De didn't dare to speak anymore, but just bowed.

"But Liu Zongmin still underestimated the enemy." A layer of frost appeared on Zhu Cixuan's face: "If there are no reinforcements outside this way, it would be a good move. However, the main forces of our Eastern Palace Guards are all north of Ruzhou. If we take advantage of the situation and attack the defenders in the city, how can he not defeat him?"

"Since the eighth year of Chongzhen, officers and soldiers have rarely dared to fight with bandits." Chen De couldn't help but tell the truth again. He always felt that he was a mature young man and was a little cunning person, but he always spoke without any restraint in front of the prince. Thinking about it carefully, this was not because of the "Crown Prince"'s identity, but it was a bit inexplicable and intimate.

"So he underestimated the enemy." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "He didn't know Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo's determination is not inferior even when facing peerless generals."

Now I just lack experience, but there are still opportunities in the future.

"Yes," Chen Deying said, "Niyi will send a scattered horse out of the city and spread the news from General Xiao as soon as possible."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "You also have to send a letter from General Chen to inform Ruzhou that it is solid and ask the Lord to exterminate the enemy on the front line. As for the food supply, it is absolutely no problem. Even if you want to retreat, you can only retreat slowly and return to Ruzhou after resting."

Chen Deying claimed that he had made a promise and turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Zhu Cilang looked at Min Zhanlian and said, "The most taboo thing in attacking the city is that the army is at the bottom of the city without any attack, which is exhausted in vain. Liu Zongmin will definitely not make such a mistake. He will most likely send troops to harass me after rest and test my depth. In the afternoon, Mr. can follow me to the city gate camp to supervise the battle and boost morale."

The weakest part of a city is the city gate. Some civil servants guarding the city will block the door with earth and stones. It seems that the bandits will not attack, but they will also cut off their own way of attack. Therefore, experienced generals not only will they not block the door, but also have to set up camps outside the city gate. One is to protect the weak parts of the city gate; the other is to facilitate the flank attacks and attack enemies on the city wall; the third is to cover the opening of the city gate, release the horses, messengers, and receive reinforcements.

Zhu Cilang had no experience, but the veteran staff recruited by his subordinates had seen Zhu Run. He had set up a camp outside the city to gather Sun Chuanting's defeated troops. At this time, it was rebuilt into the city gate camp.

Min Zhanlian originally wanted to advise Your Highness not to show off his own arrows and stones, but when he heard the four words "boosting morale", he thought it made sense, so he said "Abide by the order".

Wu Weiye's scalp was numb when he heard it, and he didn't know if he wanted to accompany him. Although he often used words such as "swords" and "army" in his poems, he still had a cold hair on his body when he saw the real guy.

"Wu Weiye, you have to work harder in the afternoon. Let's take a walk in the city to see which workshops need rice, grain and clothing, try to allocate as much as possible, so as not to let the people fall into cold and hunger." Zhu Cilang paused and said, "We must also urge local herdsman officials to do the two things of persuading donations and picking up the thieves."
