Zhu Di was indeed right about Qingjun's conditions.
His father had indeed made such a decree, and Zhu Quan also knew it.
Therefore, Zhu Quan had no way to refute Zhu Di's words, so he had no choice but to console him without any confidence: "Fourth brother, is the court okay now? The people have enough food and clothing, so it shouldn't be considered that there are no honest ministers in the court, right?"
"Now there are no honest ministers in the court!" Zhu Di shouted: "Han Du actually killed Qi Tai, Minister of War, and the emperor still blindly protected him. He even forced the ministers in the court to resign for Han Du alone. Now Han Du covers the sky with one hand in the court, do you think there are still honest ministers?"
"Also! Han Du has also bullied the wise brothers, right? Look, he has never taken us vassal kings seriously. This time he has to deal with the fourth brother, but once the fourth brother falls, you say Who will he fight next?"
Among the vassal kings, King Yan was undoubtedly the strongest, followed by King Ta Ning.
If Han Du really wants to remove all the military power of the vassal king, then once the fourth brother's military power is reduced, Zhu Quan will be next.
And compared to his fourth brother, he had even less room to resist.
But even so, Zhu Quan was not optimistic about Zhu Di. He shook his head and sighed: "Fourth brother, even if you want to Qingjun, the imperial court has many soldiers and generals. You have no chance of winning. Let's forget it. Fourth brother, why don't you come to Daning. Let's report to the emperor. The emperor thinks that for the sake of our brotherly love, maybe we can be a happy prince."
"Fourth brother also knows that he has insufficient troops, isn't he about to ask Xiandi for help?" Zhu Di smiled faintly, and before Zhu Quan could react: "I think Xiandi will not let fourth brother down."
Zhu Quan stared suddenly, with a bad feeling in his heart. He raised his finger and pointed at Zhu Di, and asked sternly: "You, what do you want to do?"
With a smile of success on his face, Zhu Di stood motionless and did not explain.
At this time, Zhu Quan heard a burst of noise coming from behind. He turned around suddenly, just in time to see a large number of sergeants emerging from nowhere in the forest and tightly surrounding his soldiers.
"Yanshan Guard!" Zhu Quan suddenly turned around and asked, "Didn't Fourth Brother's Yanshan Guard be taken over by Fu Youde? Did Fourth Brother just lie to my younger brother?"
Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Quan with a calm expression and sighed: "How could the fourth brother lie to the wise brother?"
Seeing the Yanshan Guards surrounding Prince Ning's personal soldiers layer by layer, the overall situation was decided.
"The emperor really ordered Fu Youde to take over Beiping City and Yanshan Guard, but Han Du underestimated me too much. I would rather die standing than live on my knees to him!"
Zhu Quan's face was full of shock, he pointed at Zhu Di and said: "So, you, you killed Fu Youde?"
Fu Youde had an army of 100,000 under his command. Even if King Yan wanted to kill him, it would not be easy. And more importantly, if a war breaks out between Yanshan and Fu Youde, it is impossible for him to be so close and not even hear the slightest news.
"No!" Zhu Di couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that he had captured Fu Youde so easily: "Fourth brother just imprisoned him and took over his 100,000-strong army."
Zhu Quan couldn't help being shocked when he heard with his own ears that Zhu Di actually captured Fu Youde and captured his 100,000 troops.
This is an army of 100,000 people, and it is also led by Fu Youde. Even if there were 100,000 pigs, it would take a lot of effort for Zhu Di to catch them all.
One hundred thousand troops fell into Zhu Di's hands, but he didn't hear the slightest sign of the situation. This made Zhu Quan afraid of Zhu Di's methods.
Zhu Di could capture Fu Youde quietly, so there would be no problem in capturing him.
Uh... It seems that he has been taken down by the fourth brother now!
"So? Now the fourth brother has taken a liking to the Daning Guard in the hands of the younger brother?" Until now, how could Zhu Quan still not know what Zhu Di was planning?
Why do you want to hunt with him? In fact, you just want the 80,000 armored men in his hands.
Zhu Quan felt cold for a while. He didn't expect that he would be plotted so easily despite his reputation as a good strategist.
But this time Zhu Di acted as a brother
No matter how much Zhu Quan was wary, he would not be wary of Zhu Di!
Zhu Di's face became miserable, he grabbed Zhu Quan's arm and cried bitterly: "Brother Xian also knows that the imperial army has strong soldiers and horses. If we don't have enough soldiers and horses, how can we fight Han Du? Please help me, brother. !」
Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Di with helpless eyes: "Fourth brother, whether you are on your side or targeting Han Du, for the sake of brotherly love, please don't bring your younger brother with you."
How could Zhu Di agree? Although there is no shortage of counselors under his command now, Prince Ning's reputation as a good strategist is also well-known throughout the world. At this time, who would think there are too many talents?
Zhu Quan saw that Zhu Di was silent and knew that he would not let him go easily, so he retreated and asked the next best thing: "Does the fourth brother have to force his younger brother like this?"
"Xiandi, it is not the fourth brother who is forcing you, but the fourth brother who is forced by Han Du and has no way out! If the virtuous brother is not willing to help the fourth brother at this time, then the fourth brother will be sad." Zhu Di Said meaningfully.
Zhu Quan silently glanced at the soldiers who were surrounded, and then at the concubine and son who were staying with Princess Yan.
"Fourth Brother, Daning Guard is for you. How about asking Fourth Brother to show your kindness and let me and my family live in Daning City safely?"
Zhu Di had an innocent smile on his face, opened his arms, and hugged Zhu Quan suddenly: "What did Brother Xian say? Is Fourth Brother such an ungrateful person? Although Brother Four does need Brother Xian's troops, but Don’t worry, my dear brother, my fourth brother is willing to be as rich and noble as my dear brother!"
Zhu Quan was rubbed hard by Zhu Di, and his face couldn't help but twitch. He doesn't want any wealth, he just wants to stay quietly in Daning City with his family.
Besides, Zhu Quan has no confidence in Zhu Di at all. Even if Zhu Di's current troops and horses, including the Daning Guards, are only 300,000, it is still unknown whether these troops and horses can defeat the imperial army.
Zhu Quan didn't want to get involved.
However, Zhu Di paid no attention to what Zhu Quan was thinking and continued: "Xiandi brother has not only the Daning Guards in his hands, but also the three Wuliangha Guards?"
Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Di blankly, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth brother, the three guards of Wuliangha are not my younger brother's soldiers. Originally, my younger brother only had the power to control the three guards of Wuliangha, and later he even lost this control. The power is gone, how can we command and move them?"
"You can't command the three guards of Wuliangha?" Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed, and his whole person suddenly became stern.
"Of course the command will not move." Zhu Quan saw Zhu Di's expression and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Since Zhu Di dared to raise troops to resist the imperial court, he would naturally not be polite to him.
The reason why Zhu Di had been so kind to him just now was because Zhu Di wanted to take the Daning Guard from him.
The purpose of Zhu Di's coming here was that, in addition to the 80,000 Daning Guards, the most important thing was the cavalry of the three Uuliangha Guards.
The cavalry is extremely powerful on the battlefield. It can travel long distances to cut off food routes, detect the enemy's situation, and even set up ambushes in advance to kill more enemies with fewer enemies.
Zhu Di was best at commanding cavalry, and his reputation for being good at fighting was all earned through cavalry.
"Then how did you hand over the three guards of Wuliangha to Handu in the first place?"
Zhu Quan shook his head vigorously: "Fourth brother misunderstood. At first, my younger brother only helped Han Du contact the three guards of Wuliangha. As for the three guards of Wuliangha who are willing to follow Handu, that is entirely their own decision."
"How about I help Fourth Brother contact them?"
Faced with Zhu Quan's sudden overture of kindness, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
Then he laughed loudly and said: "How dare the fourth brother bother the virtuous brother? Since the virtuous brother can contact them, can't the fourth brother also do it? Let's do this. The virtuous brother will give the whereabouts of the three guards of Wuliangha to the fourth brother. Send someone to contact them yourself.”
Zhu Di did not believe Zhu Quan so easily. It was impossible for Zhu Di to believe Zhu Quan when he said that he had no command authority over the three guards of Wuliangha.
If Zhu Quan is asked to contact the three guards of Wuliangha, what if he can command the three guards of Wuliangha?
Zhu Di didn't have the confidence to rely solely on what he brought.
This small number of men and horses can withstand the attack of Wu Liangha's three cavalry guards.
"That's...ok." Zhu Quan had to lower his head.
Zhu Quan had no choice but to hand over the token of contact with the three guards of Wuliangha.
Zhu Di took it over happily and immediately ordered people to contact the three guards of Wuliangha. Then he looked at Zhu Quan with a smile, and motioned with his chin to the surrounded soldiers.
Zhu Quan quickly understood: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will ask them to put down their weapons right now."
After speaking, he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Stop! It's all a misunderstanding. Put down your sword and arrow!"
When Zhu Quan's soldiers saw that the prince had given the order, they had to put away the swords and arrows in their hands even though they were very unwilling to do so.
Zhu Di also walked up with his hands behind his back, laughed and said, "Put away the sword for me, what are you doing?"
...
Among the three guards of Wu Liangha, the Taining Guard of Azashi was originally the most powerful, and the other two guards were all headed by the Taining Guard. However, since the death of Azashili, Taining Guard has been surpassed by Duoyan Guard in just a few years.
The three guards all have the habit of respecting the strong, so the right to speak among the three fell to the Duoyan Guards to command Trukhuchar. This person acted recklessly and hotly, and Han Du was extremely dissatisfied from the beginning.
Zhu Di's people found Duoyanwei and explained their intention to Truhuqar.
Hearing that King Yan of the Ming Dynasty asked the three guards to send troops to oppose Han Du, Tuolu Huchaer immediately became energetic.
In recent years, the one whom Tuluhuchar hated the most was Handu. Handu not only forced their three guards to send troops to the grassland, but also lost 20,000 to 30,000 horses along the way. Moreover, they obviously made great contributions, but they were separated by Han Du, resulting in a great loss in the strength of the three guards.
The Wuliangha Three Guards have been secretly recruiting the Mengyuan tribe, but due to the Ming Dynasty prohibiting grassland guards from fighting each other, even small tribes are unwilling to merge into the Wuliangha Three Guards.
But there is still no way to massacre the tribes that oppose them like before.
The three guards of Wuliangha have only been able to slowly gather some scattered Mengyuan people, and until now, the three guards have not recovered their strength.
