Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and the monk beside him.
He knew both of them.
This monk was Yao Guangxiao.
Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang had summoned all the monks in the world to participate in the assessment of the Ministry of Rites.
Among them was Yao Guangxiao.
After his sister died of illness.
When he was selecting eminent monks for these vassal kings and chanting scriptures to pray for blessings.
Yao Guangxiao volunteered to follow Zhu Di.
It was at this time that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered this monk.
Because Zhu Di was one of his favorite sons.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled by Yao Guangxiao's appearance.
Why would a monk appear beside Zhu Di at this time?
Shouldn't he be chanting in the temple?
Zhu Yuanzhang had the help of Zhuangzi to predict the future.
However, he could not see the past.
Naturally, he did not know that Yao Guangxiao had already become Zhu Di's strategist.
He was giving Zhu Di advice.
Zhu Di said,"
"Now, this king has already killed the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court.”
"I have also cleared out all the spies that the Imperial Court has placed.”
"Where should we attack first?”
The reason why Zhu Di said this was not because he was different from the military.
On the contrary, Zhu Di had such a headache because he knew too much about military affairs.
When Zhu Yuanzhang chose the fiefs for these vassal kings, he had thought it through.
It wasn't just a fief that was given to whoever wanted it.
The vassal kings who held heavy troops in their hands were all at the outermost perimeter of the Ming Dynasty.
A place far away from the capital.
As for the vassal kings near the capital, they did not have any soldiers.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did this was very simple.
It was to prevent those vassal kings from rebelling.
If he met a useless emperor, then there was nothing to say.
Even if he turned the capital into an iron bucket, it would still be the same.
However, if the reigning emperor had some ability.
It was naturally as difficult as ascending to the heavens for a vassal king to rebel.
Either the territories of these vassal kings were heavily guarded by the imperial court.
Even if there weren't any heavy troops guarding it, there would still be a strong city waiting for him at the throat.
Otherwise, these vassal kings did not have any soldiers to use and had no way to rebel.
Even if the rebellious vassal kings were successful, the troops along the way would buy enough time for the court.
They could deploy troops from other places to set up their defenses.
He could even order the nearest vassal king to quell the rebellion.
At that time, even a fool would know how difficult it would be to fight a country with a state.
It had to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang had racked his brains for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's inheritance.
And Zhu Di was currently facing such a situation.
It was even more serious than the other situations.
From Beiping to Jinling, the mountains and rivers along the way were dangerous.
All the dangerous points along the way were heavily guarded.
In the time and space without Zhu Zhe.
Just a single iron Xuan in Jinan almost caused Zhu Di's Jingnan plan to die halfway.
Therefore, Zhu Di's worries were not unreasonable.
He had no idea where to start.
Besides, he didn't have a suitable reason to rebel.
As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, things will not succeed.
Zhu Di was very worried.
After voicing his doubts to Yao Guangxiao, he felt that he had already made up his mind.
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said,
"Your Highness, why do you have to look at me like this?"
"This Penniless Monk has already thought of a countermeasure for Your Highness.”
Zhu Di couldn't help but ask curiously,"
"Oh? What countermeasures did you think of?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said,
"Fengtian Jingnan, purge the monarch's side!"
Hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Di couldn't help but gasp.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, also gasped.
He didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to be so ruthless.
He did not look like a monk at all.
The reason of clearing the emperor's side was not something that could be used casually.
Even if it was under the banner of the emperor being deceived by a traitor, it also meant that this emperor was not a good person.
But then again, Zhu Yunwen was indeed not a good person.
If Zhu Yunwen didn't have the idea of killing the vassal king.
Why would he give Zhu Di such a reason?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely disappointed in Zhu Yunwen.
Therefore, after hearing this reason, he recovered from his shock and even felt that this reason was really good.
Zhu Di also understood that this was a very good reason.
Then, he asked,
"We have a reason to rebel, but there are so many strong cities along the way.”
"How can we take them down one by one?”
Yao Guangxiao said in surprise,
"Why did Your Highness attack those fortified cities?”
Zhu Di was stunned."
"What if we don't fight?"
Yao Guangxiao said,
"Right now, the Imperial Court's army has all been lured to South Yue by His Highness the King of Yue.”
"The defense of the capital is bound to be empty. We only need to bring elite soldiers and charge straight at the capital, right?”
If Zhu Zhe heard Yao Guangxiao's words here, he would definitely be surprised.
He was not surprised by Yao Guangxiao's boldness, but he was surprised that the butterfly effect brought by his transmigration had finally worked.
Yao Guangxiao continued,
"The Imperial Court has mobilized 600,000 troops to attack His Highness the King of Yue.”
"The capital's defenses are definitely empty, and rations are tight.”
"At this time, Your Highness only needs to send a group of elite cavalry to attack Jinling.”
"Taking advantage of the situation where the defenders are unprepared, we can directly take down the capital.”
"When the time comes, it won't be difficult to face the south and back the north.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head as he listened.
He didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to be so capable.
He immediately understood the crux of the problem. When he saw Zhu Yunwen doing this, he instantly understood Zhu Yunwen's stupidity.
Zhu Di didn't get excited when he heard Yao Guangxiao's words.
In Zhu Di's plan, he wanted to grow stronger from a young age and gather troops along the way.
In the end, he fought to the death with Zhu Yunwen.
This was also the choice of a normal general, and it was also the only way Zhu Di could think of to strengthen himself.
Because he only had 900 soldiers in his hands, there were no soldiers left in Beiping.
Zhu Di voiced his doubts.
"Right now, Beiping has no soldiers to use.”
"It's easier said than done to attack Jinling with my hundreds of soldiers.”
"It's better to take it step by step and slowly encroach on our territory.”
"We will strengthen our own army and then fight Zhu Yunwen.”
Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said,
"Your Highness, if you really did that, you would be courting death.”
"After the Imperial Court reacted, they abandoned the King of Yue and returned to attack His Highness.”
"Where should Your Highness go? Beiping is not the land of South Vietnam.”
"There is no natural barrier to defend."
"If you don't take advantage of the King of Yue drawing the firepower for your highness, your highness will no longer have any chance of winning.”
It turned out that Yao Guangxiao had already made plans.
Using Zhu Zhe to attract the firepower of the Imperial Court as an opportunity.
In this way, he could obtain the entire Ming Dynasty for Zhu Di.
However, after Zhu Di heard this, he did not feel relaxed at all.
Instead, he felt a headache.
"But no matter what, we still don't have troops. A clever housewife can't cook without rice!”
Yao Guangxiao smiled,"
"Why not?"
Zhu Di heard Yao Guangxiao's words and quickly asked,"
"Where did the troops come from?"
Yao Guangxiao said,
"Why doesn't Your Highness borrow some soldiers from other vassal kings?”
After Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, Zhu Di seemed to have thought of something.
His eyes lit up.
His face immediately revealed a happy expression.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yao Guangxiao.
What a ruthless monk!
