When Zhu Qizhen met Yang Hong, Yang Hong was no longer the majestic general he had ever been.

Death is a terrible thing.

The most terrifying thing is not the moment of death, but the fact that before death, all the decency and majesty of a person will be stripped away.

Whether you are a beauty or a hero, you will be unable to take care of yourself even if you are shit and urine, and relax your muscles in your body, just like a rag bag, and even your most private place will be exposed to everyone's eyes.

Your dignity and everything about you are trampled at the bottom.

For many people, this kind of embarrassment is even more terrifying than death.

This is what Yang Hong is like at this moment.

In this old man's room, there is a smell of various flavors combined together. It has the smell of shit and urine, the smell of old man on the old man, and the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Countless smells form an indescribable taste.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but have the urge to cover his nose.

However, Zhu Qizhen is not a child either. What he did here was naturally unwilling to hurt the old minister's heart. He just recovered after a little breathing disorder.

He came to Yang Hong and saw that Yang Hong was in a daze.

It seemed like I was asleep, but my eyes were still covered with slits.

Many elderly people are in this situation when they die, drowsy and confused, which is actually a torment for them.

Zhu Qizhen called out a few times before he woke Yang Hong up.

Yang Hong struggled to get up, but Yang Hong, who was shocked in front of the two armies, had no strength to get up at this moment.

Zhu Qizhen quickly comforted him and said, "Duke Chang is just lying down."

Yang Hong could only lay down and said, "Your Majesty is grateful to see the old minister. When he heard Shi Heng died of hunting a tiger, the old minister thought he was just a reckless man. Now, I think that I am so embarrassed that I am not as good as hunting a tiger."

Zhu Qizhen said: "What did Duke Chang say? The court still cannot live without you. Although your illness is serious, it is definitely not time to recover."

After hearing this, Yang Hong said, "I am now seventy-seven years old, and I will meet Your Majesty in this life and stabbed the Mobei. I think a hundred years later, I will be able to be with Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Jing, the king of Zhongshan and Lan Yu of this dynasty. I will not hate me if I die. A real man will die. What are the regrets? But Shi Heng's reputation may be above me in the future, and this is my resentment."

Yang Hong never felt that his talents were inferior to Shi Heng. Shi Heng usually relied on talent in wars, but Yang Hong was proficient in military tactics, from his family to his masters, from his childhood to his generals. It can be seen from the difference between the Yang family and the descendants of the Shi family.

Although the Yang family has Yang Xin and the Shi family has Shi Biao, it seems that Shi Biao is no longer as good as Yang Xin. After the Shi Biao, the performance of the Shi family's children is mediocre, but dozens of disciples of the Yang family are in the army. Each of them may not be compared with Yang Xin, but they are not worth a living.

This is the difference between Yang Hong and Shi Heng. Yang Hong's military talent is not only above war, but also above teaching his children.

Yang Hong's contributions were not as good as Shi Heng in the battle against the thorns, which was probably Yang Hong's lifelong regret.

Having said this, Zhu Qizhen was no less comforting and said, "After you leave, who can you entrust the imperial court's military and national affairs?"

This is another reason why Zhu Qizhen wants to see Yang Hong.

One reason to appease the old ministers and pretend to the people of the world, and another reason is to see the Ming military arrangements after Yang Hong went to him.

Yang Hong was a little excited and said, "Duke Guo Deng of Yingguo is a famous minister. He uses his troops steadily and has a great reputation in the court. He can rely on major events."

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "I know too, but Duke Ying is old."

Among the three generals of Zhongxing who defeated Wasan, Guo Deng was worse than Shi Heng and Yang Hong, but Guo Deng still had talent, which was also reflected in the Battle of Lang Son.

Although this battle was more about bullying small countries by relying on the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it could not erase Guo Deng's military talent. Such a large encirclement and annihilation battle was enough for Guo Deng to leave his name in history.

But Guo Deng has the same problem as Yang Hong. Guo Deng is about the same age as Shi Heng, and he is in his sixties. Maybe he will go there anytime.

Yang Hong pondered for a moment and said, "From Guo Deng, Fang Jin can do it."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Fang Jin's talent is just a peaceful one."

Zhu Qizhen’s evaluation of Fang Jin cannot be said to be unfair.

This is not to belittle Fang Jin.

It’s just that compared with Fang Jin, Shi Heng, Yang Hong and Guo Deng, the two words Zhongping actually have the meaning of praise.

Yang Hong said: "My nephew Yang Xin, Fan Guang, Shi Biao, Wang Ying, Mao Rui, Jin's uncle and nephew, Zhu Yi can all be used as one side. They just lead the army and grasp the overall situation, but they can't do it."

"However, God blesses the Ming Dynasty, there is one person. Perhaps in the future, I will also let him go."

After hearing what Yang Hong said, Zhu Qizhen had expected it.

The Ming Dynasty martial arts trained were actually low-level officers. Perhaps the Qianhu trained by martial arts were qualified. But above the Qianhu, it depends on your own growth.

The art of war, regarding war as art means one thing. That is, it is difficult to cultivate true top generals.

Because every artist is an independent individual. He is not an art academy, but an artist. He is probably a painter.

Unlike modern warfare, there were too many unknowns in the ancient battlefield. Many judgments were based on intuition and had no basis. Before making a decision, there were too many factors that affected the outcome of the war.

I get a lot of information and collect outdated postponements. I can only rely on my own judgment.

Therefore, a general who can truly command thousands of troops can be called the name of an artist.

Therefore, it is difficult to replicate the cultivation of every famous general. At least Zhu Qizhen has not found such a way to replicate, and at least martial arts cannot be achieved.

The people Yang Hong mentioned may be qualified to command an army of 50,000 and become generals. But if they command a battle of hundreds of thousands, they may not be able to bear it if Zhu Qizhen attacked the north of Wassai.

Even Zhu Yong, Duke Chengguo, was better than them in some ways.

Don’t underestimate Zhu Yong’s ability if you see Zhu Yong’s defeat so miserable.

In fact, if Zhu Yong was really a bullshit, Zhang Fu would not support Zhu Yong to lead the troops.

To be honest, the strategic form of the Ming Dynasty today is not necessary, such a commander who can command hundreds of thousands of troops. After all, although the Wassat fights in the Western Regions.

But Zhu Qizhen never took this matter to heart.

It is impossible for Wats to advance eastward in large numbers. This is determined by Wats' national strength. It may not be useful to have such a handsome talent in the Ming Dynasty, but it must be.

Zhu Qizhen had already guessed that he was not among the people Yang Hong had just said. Zhu Qizhen asked, "Who is it?"

Yang Hong said: "Wang Yue."

Zhu Qizhen confirmed his guess.

Wang Yue is also a general who is favored by Zhu Qizhen.

Yang Hong said: "Wang Yue is still not good at using military force, but the scale has been achieved. Your Majesty does not have to worry about the war in the Western Regions. I am sure that there will be good news this year, but when will the entire Western Regions be restored, but not Wang Yue, but when will the drought in the Central Plains pass?"

"What's more valuable is that Wang Yue is only fifty years old, enough to be in charge of the world for more than ten years. Your Majesty can be worry-free."

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Follower Wang Yue?"

Yang Hong said: "This is not something that I can tell."

In addition to being born with talent like Huo Qubing.

Many generals need time to accumulate. Now that they are scrambling to the middle level of the army, Yang Hong can understand and make predictions.

That is not vision, that is fortune telling.

Zhu Qizhen said, "I know. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Zhu Qizhen is an opportunity to arrange funeral for Yang Hong.

In this case, as long as the conditions proposed by Yang Hong were not excessive, Zhu Qizhen would agree.
