Chapter 290 Disappointment
Xu Hao had a dialogue with Ning Wang Zhu Quan with great expectations, hoping to hear the other party's analysis and countermeasures of the Mongolian tribes, and also wanted to know why Ning Wang, who had 80,000 elite soldiers, lost his light in the early stages of the Jingnan Campaign.
Xu Hao was soon disappointed. Although Ning Wang, who had a very high artistic talent, was not a talented person. He could only use the four words "familiar" to evaluate him. His wish for the country was to garrison safely rather than actively annihilate and try his best to balance the possible rise of tribes.
It is true that Zhu Quan has great ambitions, but his ambitions are the same as most ambitious people. His eyes are on the Central Plains. This can explain why Chengde and even other places did not build a large-scale pass to protect Daning City. Because Zhu Quan had no intention of staying here for a long time, he naturally was too lazy to worry. He knew very well that it was impossible for the Mongolian grassland surrounded by wolves to stay for a long time.
He constantly accumulates strength and trains soldiers. He has 80,000 elite soldiers. He is on the front line but has never taken the initiative to attack. His ambitions for the Central Plains are obvious.
Xu Hao still remembered that when Zhu Quan inspected the local area the year before yesterday, he found traces left by the Hu army on the road. He reported to Zhu Yuanzhang. The court immediately ordered King Yan Zhu Di to attack Liaodong, and King Ning was responsible for assisting Zhu Gaochi to stay in Hebei. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was pleased with his son and he was cautious, and he showed more or less a hint of disappointment. That is, Zhu Quan, who was good at planning, was too conservative in military affairs. The young man, who was only twenty years old, had no desire to make achievements, and even had no intention of sending his generals or the three guards of Duoyan to attack and support Zhu Di's army.
It is not a big deal that Zhu Quan did not receive the loyal support of his subordinates. A leader without enterprising spirit could not satisfy the ambitions of the generals. Whether it is for Han generals who want to be promoted and make money or for the people who hope to plunder the population and strengthen the tribal strength, King Ning, who has been diligent in internal affairs for six years but has never fought a war, has undoubtedly gradually become a stumbling block in front of them.
In this way, Xu Hao knew that there was no need to use any conspiracy and tricks. The ambitious King of Yan was undoubtedly the leader that the northern powerful people could follow. Moreover, most of the generals under Zhu Quan were originally from the Yan King's Mansion. For the Mongolians who were as powerful as Duoyan Sanwei, the King of Yan was a strong man.
When he returned to his residence at night, Xu Hao sighed disappointed: "It's a pity that such a good opportunity, Zhu Quan, you have a great chance of achieving something outside the border."
Mu Ningxue, who had already returned, came over to serve her husband to take off her coat. Xu Hao still felt regretful. He remembered that he had half-jokingly told Zhu Gaoxu that he could be king in Liaodong, protecting the Central Plains and fighting with all the alien races. If he was lucky, he would be a generation of heroes who had been famous throughout the ages.
However, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without thinking. This guy had no idea of enduring hardship, and just like the emperor's uncle Zhu Quan, he only cared about the beautiful country of the Central Plains. Wang Ning could still calm down and manage Daning Mansion for six years. The irritable Zhu Gaoxu might not be able to stand it for a day, and Zhu Gaoxu was far inferior to Zhu Quan.
Xu Hao felt somewhat that it was easy to get one general, and it was difficult to find a general. At this moment, the critical moment when the various forces in Mongolia were about to break out of civil war. How good would it be if King Ning could do something? At least under the banner of Doyanwei's disobeying the orders of the court, he summoned the Han and Mongolian coalition forces to fight, and unexpectedly forced the remnant Tabunan to bow his head and confess his guilt or fight a battle to achieve the goal of weakening his Mongolian population. He could firmly control the rest of the Mongolian people and shock the other two guards. The most basic strategy of the Ming Dynasty to the north was to not allow the Urianha tribe and the Tatar Wats that were about to split.
Zhang said: "It is better to be famous than to meet. I often heard from the prince that Xu Hao is a person who dares to speak out in front of the late emperor. But today, looking at his conversation, it seems that he admires the prince but it is actually superficial, and it is not done by his friends."
Zhu Quan looked regretful and said, "Yes! Even you can see that he did not have the sincerity to interact with me. I think that although I am afraid to compare with my fourth brother, I look at the present day. How many people can compare? In this Daning Mansion, which lacks civil servants, counselors, and scholars, I am really eager to seek talent and pay tribute to him. Is he complaining that I have not left the city to greet me?"
Zhang smiled and said, "In my opinion, Xu Hao is not such a narrow-minded person. Otherwise, how could he marry Princess Yuning? It seems that it is still up to the princess. Who made the prince and his beautiful wife be childhood friends?"
Zhu Quan whipped his feet and stamped his chest, and said angrily: "This Xu Hao is really a petty man. How could I be a villain who covets someone else's wife?"
On the other side, Mu Ningxue also asked curiously: "When you first arrived, you praised Ning Wang and his wife. Why have you become cold these days? I just flattered you today, but I don't like you are usually a human being."
Xu Hao said lightly: "I'm giving up. Originally, I saw the scenery of Daning Mansion with extraordinary vegetation everywhere in the city. I guess in spring and summer, the birds singing and flowers blooming like Jiangnan, and I thought Ning Wang was very talented. But when I looked back, I thought about where this place was? The lonely city of the border was surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, and they would be attacked at any time. It was too late to try my best to strengthen the city walls and set up defenses. He became a gardener. It can be seen that Ning Wang is a down-to-earth person. I dare not assert that the city will be destroyed sooner or later. "
Mu Ningxue was moved and said in shock: "Then why don't you point out these things? After all, Ning Wang and his wife treated us like relatives and friends, how could they sit back and watch?"
Xu Hao said with a strange expression: "Loyal words are unpleasant. It is best to write a letter to remind you about this matter."
Mu Ningxue Bingxue was smart and suddenly said, "Are you worried about it because of me? King Ning would be disdainful of your suggestions, which means what you said would have a counterproductive force?"
Xu Hao stared at his beautiful and refined wife in a daze, and suddenly laughed and said, "Stop being so pretty. It turns out that I didn't know that my wife also had a princess disease. I thought there would be suitors everywhere I went, and all men would never forget that back then. Haha!"
"You!" Mu Ningxue was immediately embarrassed, blushed and angrily, and then beat her husband forward, but Xu Hao held her back with her backhand and rolled onto the couch.
"Ignore you tonight, and Zhiqing is not allowed to accompany you." Mu Ningxue turned her head angrily.
Xu Hao, who was laughing, pushed his wife's pretty face slightly and said with a smile: "It's time to lose his temper long ago. Look at you becoming extremely virtuous again this year. Is it so important that outsiders' praise and evaluation?"
Mu Ningxue's face immediately collapsed, and she fell softly into her husband's arms, and said depressedly: "I don't want to do it either! Sometimes I really want to spread my waist like my sister-in-law and scold people loudly, but I just can't learn it! Although you can support me, you can become willful, arrogant, and unreasonable, but I can't act as free and easy as Hongye. I really envy Hongye's straightforwardness. Are you starting to get bored with me? I think I'm hypocritical?"
"How is it possible? You are you, the unique Mu Ningxue."
Xu Hao lowered his head and kissed his poor wife, and smiled and said, "It's rare to see you worry about gains and losses. It's interesting! In fact, you have done well enough. Everyone has different natures, just be yourself. You don't like to care about others by nature, you have broad minds and act as grand as men. You don't have the ambition of your sister-in-law who wants to compete with men. You don't have Hongye just for your own cleverness. When it comes to things, you're just as calm as you. In fact, I'm far inferior to you. If I could learn more about you, I wouldn't be full of conspiracy and calculations now."
Mu Ningxue snuggled in her husband's warm arms with a satisfied expression and whispered: "I am not as good as my husband said. Every time you and Zhiqing and the others are in good condition, I am very angry and wish I could send them away from a distance."
Xu Hao smiled and sighed, "It would be the same if it were me. I can only say sorry. I can't let everyone around me go."
Mu Ningxue said with a slight gaze: "I am very happy for not wanting to praise them because of me. But it's okay now. You can't even give me a title in the future, right? Although I'm a little jealous, they have been with you for many years."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Don't think so well. I am a man and I am selfish by nature. I eat in the bowl and look at the pot. When I see other people's beauties, I can't help but think about it.
