When Zhu Gaojie commanded the entire army for the first time, everyone doubted him, including Liu Pu.
Even though he once commanded the vanguard battalion to play with General Ruan Ngoc Hung of the Chen Army, this was not the same concept.
The Pioneer Battalion had less than 4,000 people, while the Commander-in-Chief Battalion had nearly 200,000 people!
To put it most simply, compare Han Xin with Huo Qubing.
There were a thousand men on each side, and Huo Qubing beat Han Xin, who cried for his father and mother.
With 10,000 people on each side, Huo Qubing and Han Xin were evenly matched.
But if both sides control 100,000 people, Han Xin can kill Huo Qubing!
Zhu Gaojie was different. He inherited the military talents of Han Xin and Huo Qubing, as well as Tu Baiqi's military talents.
From the beginning, Zhang Fu asked Zhu Gaojie to contact the commanding camp, and now he has completely handed over the commanding camp to him. The Southern Expeditionary Army continued to recommend in Jiaozhi, and Chen Jun was forced to retreat steadily. Everyone obeyed the commander-in-chief's counselor adjutant.
…
Liu Pu stepped into the commander's camp. There was still unexhausted blood on his shirt. There was a look of joy on his face. He clasped his fists and said, "I am the pioneer officer Liu Pu. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order. I defeated the enemy eight hundred miles away and defeated the enemy." Six generals, captured more than 80 leaders, beheaded about 8,000 enemy oligarchs, and captured countless war horses, war elephants, gold, silver, grain, grass, and spices!"
If it weren't for his inappropriate identity, he would have really wanted to shout at Zhu Gaojie: "Your Majesty, your dick is so awesome!"
The vanguard battalion was the first success this time. After breaking through the enemy's center, more than 3,000 people pursued the enemy's 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.
"Good!" Zhang Fu applauded, "This time we defeated the Chen army's coalition and drove the enemy completely to the south of Cochin. After this battle, the Ming army's flags covered most of Cochin. All the soldiers have contributed a lot!"
Originally, Zhang Fu didn't want to be in such a hurry. He planned to let Zhu Gaojie take over the military power step by step and control the southwest.
However, a verbal order from the emperor forced Zhang Fu to quickly clean up the mess in Jiaozhi. Zhang Fu had no choice but to take risks and speed up. Fortunately, Zhu Gaojie was very strong and caught it.
"Slaughter the cattle and sheep tonight, buy wine, and reward the soldiers!"
…
The war in Jiaozhi has been decided, and the commander's camp has organized a final celebration banquet.
After this celebration banquet, the Southern Expeditionary Army withdrew from the southwest one after another, including Zhang Fu, Zhu Gaojie, and Liu Sheng... leaving only nearly 100,000 southwest troops to guard it.
However, both Zhang Fu and Zhu Gaojie knew in their hearts that the matter was far from over.
The Chen army on the ground in Jiaozhi was defeated, but more rebels would come forward. The imperial court needs a general to guard the southwest forever, and Zhang Fu and Zhu Gaojie will come back sooner or later.
But no one would think so much now. The celebration banquet was held smoothly. A slanting moon hung on the black curtain of the night, and the light of the bonfire illuminated the late night.
In the commander's camp, someone was very drunk, and Zhang Fu was also a little tipsy. He gave up his seat and said loudly: "This time, I have to introduce a hero to the pacification of Jiaozhi!"
The soldiers in the commander's camp smiled and said nothing, no one knew who the hero was.
In addition to the general Zhang Fu, there was Zhu Silang, the counselor's adjutant of the commander's camp.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Li, the uncle and nephew, looked cold. Their relationship with Zhu Silang was not very friendly.
"This hero is..." Zhang Fu's voice paused, "Prince Qi!"
In an instant, the commander's camp became quiet.
who?
King Qi?
Shock was written on everyone's face. The general must have drunk too much!
Where does King Qi put it? The credit for this time has nothing to do with King Qi’s half cent!
Duke Mu Sheng of Guizhou smiled and said: "The general is just kidding. Prince Qi was sent by the emperor to join the army in Jiaozhi. But now that the battle is over, I haven't seen the shadow of Prince Qi. But this little brother Zhu , the credit is quite profound.”
Zhang Fu did not explain anything, but raised his hand to Zhu Gaojie: "His Royal Highness, King Qi, may you be blessed!"
Zhu Gaojie looked calm and sat at the head of the commander's camp.
Everyone in the commander's camp was stunned. They didn't expect such a nonsense to be staged at the celebration banquet.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Li's uncle and nephew were speechless and didn't know what to say for a while.
This... is a bit sudden. Is there something wrong?
Except for the father and son of Anyuan Houfu, Liu Sheng and Liu Pu were not surprised. They had known the identity of King Qi for a long time.
At this time, the guarding officer Ma Qi stood up. He kowtowed respectfully and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qi, may you be blessed!"
Ma Qi was an eunuch who was sent to Jiaozhi from outside the palace. Maybe Zhang Fu recognized the wrong person, but this eunuch definitely recognized Zhu Gaojie.
No wonder Zhu Silang has always been so trusted by the general. This is King Qi!
The Duke of Guizhou, Mu Sheng, was all paralyzed. Qiang and the others had long known that King Qi was coming, keeping the rest of the people in the dark.
The most important thing is... what did he call King Qi just now?
Brother Zhu? !
"I did not intend to hide this from the officers and men, and I hope that the officers and men will forgive me." Zhu Gaojie said with a smile.
Mu Sheng said hoarsely: "I...I just spoke a little arrogantly, I hope the prince will forgive me. If the prince has a grudge, how about...I give you a kiss?"
"What do you mean, Duke Qian? I am such a petty person. How can I ask you to kowtow to me?" Zhu Gaojie said righteously, "Come on, Duke Qian, there is no soil on the ground here. .”
Mu Sheng:......
The feeling is that there is no soil on the ground here, so I can kowtow to you?
"It's just a joke." Zhu Gaojie said with a smile, "During this period when the king was in the camp, some people may have been at odds with me, but you don't have to worry, the king will not keep it in mind."
The people in Shuaiying let out a long sigh of relief, and the grudges in their hearts disappeared.
During this period of time when King Qi was working in the commander's camp, many people had accidentally said inappropriate things to him or done some inappropriate things. Perhaps these behaviors are not a big deal to ordinary people, but King Qi is not an ordinary person, he is a prince!
It is normal for you to pat an ordinary person on the shoulder and call him buddy, but if you pat King Qi on the shoulder and call him buddy, you will be escorted directly to the Yamen for questioning!
King Qi is a noble man from Heaven, the Emperor Longzi!
Now it seems that King Qi doesn't seem to care about these past clouds, and his tone of voice doesn't seem to be telling lies.
There was a smile on Zhu Gaojie's lips. He hid his identity in Jiaozhi just for today's effect.
If he came to command the camp as King Qi from the beginning, the arrogant soldiers in the command camp would respect him because of his status, but they would not obey him.
But he stood at this position step by step as a soldier. Although there was an episode of using the back door in the middle, this did not affect Zhu Gaojie's ability to intimidate the generals in the commander's camp.
It's like if you order a technician for a foot bath, you may not feel anything about it, but one day when you see this technician on the screen of your mobile phone and has become an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans, your expression will become quite exciting.
This is a psychological way of playing with people's hearts. Zhu Gaojie doesn't care about the process, he only cares about the results.
Now it seems that his goal of establishing prestige in the military has been achieved.
