Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and decided to take a gradual approach to test Zhu Jun.
He decided to test Zhu Jun politically first to see whether he could handle national affairs well.
Therefore, he wrote a letter to Zhu Jun and asked him when he would use troops abroad.
Soon Zhu Jun received a letter. In the letter, Lao Zhu said that the second and fourth sons could not use the army, and Zhu Yu was not in good health and could not work hard.
Only Lao San, Lao Wu, Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Ten were left with insufficient combat effectiveness.
The most powerful one now is Zhu Jun.
So Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Jun what to do.
After seeing this letter, Zhu Jun was also a little confused. He didn't have the final say when to send troops. Why did he come here to ask himself now?
Zhu Jun had a headache. Could it be that his father wanted him to be the main vanguard?
Yes, yes, it is best to deal with Zhang Zhou first, but this involves a wide range of things.
Once he uses troops against Zhang Zhou, Chen Han will naturally take action.
Judging from the current situation of Daye, it seems that it is not ready yet.
However, Zhu Jun was not helpless.
In the past few years, the three organizations under his command have been growing wildly.
Zhang Zhou and Chen Han have now been invaded.
Some officials have been bribed by him.
For Zhu Jun, the best way to end the war as quickly as possible is to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
If Zhang Cheng dies, then Zhang Zhou will definitely be in chaos, and it is best to attack at this time.
Zhu Jun thought for a while and replied to Lao Zhu with a letter.
The letter stated that if the two countries go to war at the same time, the pressure on Daye will undoubtedly be huge. Even with Dingding's assistance, coordinated operations will be needed. If it doesn't take long, the casualties will be huge.
Zhu Jun meant to assassinate the leader first, and then attack Zhang Zhou Changan in a surprise attack.
As long as Chang'an is defeated, Zhang Zhou will naturally defeat himself.
You can recruit surrender and advance at the same time.
Even if some people fled to Chen Han, it would not be a big deal.
In this way, the pressure on Daye's northwest direction will be much lighter.
After the letter was sent, Zhu Jun also ordered the military factory to speed up the production of weapons.
It's only over 1,800 miles from him to Chang'an.
As long as Zhang Cheng and Zhang Cheng's prince are assassinated, Zhang De will definitely show up.
When the time comes when his people are instigating him behind his back, Zhang Zhou will inevitably be in a dilemma.
After so many years of planning and investing countless silver coins, his people are almost all over the Central Plains.
Not only Zhang Zhou, but also his people were in the palace of Chen Han.
With just one order from him, he can go straight to Huanglong and kill these people who can affect the current situation of the world.
"Your Highness, are we going to use troops?" Vajra slave hurriedly ran to Zhu Jun and asked happily.
Also coming with him was Li Jiba, who also had a look of anticipation on his face.
For him, his biggest wish in this life is to lead an army, conquer Chang'an, kill Zhang Cheng, and avenge his father.
Zhu Jun said: "It will be soon. I have received a letter from my father. It seems that we will use foreign troops in the near future. However, the domestic situation is not very good now, and my father is still a little entangled.
However, we may become the main attacking team this time! "
"Okay, great, this day has finally come!" Li Jiba clenched his fists and said with joy.
Zhu Jun smiled slightly, looking at the two loyal generals in front of him, and felt happy in his heart.
"Vajra slave, Li Jiba, you are the people I trust the most. I need your strength and wisdom in this war.
Our goal is Chang'an, but more importantly, we want to protect the lives of our soldiers to the greatest extent possible. "
King Kong Nu and Li Jiba both nodded when they heard this.
They knew that victory in this battle was of great significance to Zhu Jun and was also an opportunity for them to realize their ideals.
"Your Highness, we will go all out and defend your order to the death!" Vajra Nu said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Li Jiba said without hesitation.
Zhu Jun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, I believe you can do the job. Now, what we have to do is to be fully prepared, formulate a detailed battle plan, and strive to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop!"
Because Zhu Jun was still in Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty and had not returned to Weihaiwei, only three people could spy on some details of the battle.
The three began to discuss intensively. They wanted to ensure that every detail was impeccable and achieve the greatest victory at the least cost.
"Do you want Zhang Jue to join in?" King Kong Nu asked.
Although Zhang Jue is Zhu Di's man, after so many days, Zhang Jue is still very honest and has always been very dedicated to helping Zhu Jun.
Moreover, Zhang Jue was indispensable for Zhu Jun's ability to control Yuan Dadu's troops so smoothly.
This is a smart guy who knows what to do when.
Zhu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Call Zhang Jue."
King Kong Nu immediately went to call Zhang Jue over.
After a while, Zhang Jue entered the room, bowed and said in salute: "I am here to see His Highness King Weihai. May I ask what His Highness's orders are?"
Zhu Jun smiled slightly and said: "Vice General Zhang, I have been here in Yuandadu for so long, and you have contributed a lot to being able to take over Yuandadu so smoothly. I appreciate your ability and moral character very much."
There was a trace of surprise on Zhang Jue's face, but he maintained a respectful posture and waited for Zhu Jun's next words.
Zhu Jun continued: "The imperial court may have to use troops externally, and your talents and abilities will be helpful to our cause.
I want you to join in, what's your intention? "
After hearing this, Zhang Jue's surprise turned to joy. Doesn't this mean Zhu Jun accepted him?
In fact, these days, he also received a letter from Zhu Di, in which Zhu Di told him that his loyalty to Zhu Jun must be the same as his loyalty to himself.
This made Zhang Jue feel a little uncomfortable.
As Zhu Di's confidant, it was naturally impossible for him to betray Zhu Di.
But Zhu Di was also very straightforward. He admitted that he might not be able to survive this time.
But those under him all need a future.
Therefore, Zhu Di hoped that Zhang Jue could be loyal to Zhu Jun, which would be regarded as being loyal to him.
After Zhang Jue thought for a long time, he finally made up his mind.
He looked at Zhu Jun gratefully and said: "Your Highness, it is our honor to join your team.
Weichen will do its best to serve you. "
Zhu Jun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, from today on, you are one of us.
There are not many restrictions when working under me, as you know. "
Zhang Jue nodded solemnly, saying that he would do his best. He knows that joining Zhu Jun's team will bring him broader development opportunities and is also an important step for him to realize his ambitions.
In his opinion, Zhu Jun now has the ability to compete with the prince.
As long as Zhu Jun has an idea, he might really be able to compete for that position!
