Chapter 35: King Ning is here

Since Li Jinglong retreated ten miles from the camp, it was a great encouragement to the city of Beiping, which was the enemy's retreat, Li Jinglong sat on 100,000 elite soldiers, could not fight to the death, and did not have the size of the merit, did not capture Beiping, but lost the army. The confidence of the generals left behind in Beiping increased greatly, and they did not look forward to the return of King Yan to the division every day, but went out of the city at night several times to harass the enemy soldiers, especially on the first night, the southern army never thought that the Yan army would dare to go out of the city to attack them, and they were unprepared, so they turned on their backs, and there were many casualties.

Another night Xue Lu led people to harass the enemy camp, this time he was also very tricky, did not directly attack the enemy camp, but harassed the cooking soldiers who had just collected the pot, and when the cavalry of the southern army rushed out, they had already been unable to catch up.

Xue Lu roared back to the camp, what greeted him was wine and food, the Zhigong Liquor Store in the north of the city took the wine, Zhang Zhaohua also drank a few sips, this kind of wine is not like Qiu Lubai, as soon as you drink it, you will burn your stomach, but it is the favorite of the soldiers, so that they can drink Qiu Lubai but feel that it is moist, and it is not enjoyable at all.

Just like Xue Lu, when he saw his soldiers bringing him a wine jug, he was still very vigilant, and said, "Won't it be a girl's bar again?"

Xue Lu has been drinking the spirits in the army, he has never tasted famous wine, he won the battle but did not want to reward, and when Gao Chi asked him, he only said that he wanted to taste the famous wine treasured by the palace, but after tasting it, he said that this is something that only women drink, I heard that the raw materials of liquor are cherished things, how to make the taste is so unpleasant!

Xue Lu unscrewed the cork and smelled the fierce smell, so he patted his belly happily: "This is a fucking good wine!"

He drank a few sips in a row, and then saw the old and weak soldiers scrubbing the wounds of the wounded soldiers with a jar of wine, and felt very distressed: "What is the reason why this thing does not enter the mouth, but rubs it on the skin and flesh?"

Zhang Zhaohua laughed angrily when he heard this, and pushed him aside: "This is disinfection, which can promote wound healing and make the wound heal quickly, if you don't understand, just go aside." ”

The days of Beiping City were better, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, got a military report that Li Jinglong was besieging Beiping, and hurriedly returned to the division, at this time the battle against Daning had ended, and the king of Yan and Ning merged a force, and they crossed the Baihe River by the river water, pointing directly to the Zhengcun Dam where Li Jinglong divided his troops and camped. Zhengcun Dam is twenty miles northwest of Tongzhou, and it is also twenty miles away from Beiping in the east, commonly known as East Dam.

Chen Hui, the vanguard of the Southern Army, led 10,000 cavalry to cross the river to meet the Yan army, but the two armies did not take the same road and did not meet. Chen Hui found out that the Yan army had crossed the White River, so he turned around and chased after the Yan army. Zhu Di led the elite cavalry to fight back, taking the opportunity of Chen Hui to cross the river, and was defeated, at this time the ice on the river suddenly broke, and the southern army drowned, and Chen Hui was only spared.

Li Jinglong's army had been waiting in Zhengcunba for several days, the sergeants were under martial law day and night, the weather was cold, many people froze their hands and feet, and their fighting spirit had long been relaxed, and as a result, the Yan army broke seven battalions in a row. The main forces of the two sides had a fierce battle, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the men and horses as a surprise soldier to attack left and right, the war was fought from noon to unitary time, Li Jinglong's army gradually weakened, suffered heavy casualties, and many people surrendered in front of the battle.

Early the next morning, the report said that Li Jinglong's army had escaped from the camp at night, but the baggage had not had time to be taken away, and many horses were also left, and some of his subordinates asked for pursuit, Zhu Di decided not to chase anymore, but to take advantage of the victory to reach the city of Beiping, at this time, the officers and troops surrounding Beiping did not know that Li Jinglong had pulled out the camp and went south, and still insisted on not retreating. Zhang Yu led the troops into formation and broke the fourth base of the official army. At this time, the defenders in the city saw that the rescuers were coming, and they also clamored to attack, attacking inside and outside, the officers and troops were defeated, and they had no fighting spirit, so they also discarded the soldiers' armor, grain, and grass and ran south in the starry night.

In this battle, the Yan army won a complete victory. King Yan returned to Beiping and shook the ground with joy. King Yan was ready to kill cattle and horses and reward the soldiers - as a result, the soldiers defending the city had already eaten beef and mutton for a month, so they invited the master to come and cook a lot of food and feast.

King Yan was in the city, feasting on the soldiers, returning to the carrying hall of the palace, and drinking with King Ning and the generals.

The arrival of King Ning's guest was reluctant and forced, who was changed, he was unhappy to take away his wife and children, and take away his elite troops, and His Royal Highness King Ning could still drink with King Yan with the same expression at this time, which was already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

King Ning is the seventeenth son of Emperor Gao, Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, cut the feudal domains, I am afraid that the northern kings will unite with the king of Yan, so he issued an edict to Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, to return to Beijing. The King of Liao returned to Beijing with the edict, but the King of Ning ignored the edict. Emperor Jianwen issued an edict to cut off King Ning's three guards as punishment, and King Yan has always had a very good relationship with King Ning, and now he is very happy to see that King Ning does not follow the edict, so this time Zhu Di's aid to Yongping, its purpose is to seize Daning.

Although there are not many defenders in Daning, how to capture Daning still has to take a lot of thought, because Zhu Di not only wants to seize the land of Daning, but more importantly, he wants to win over King Ning and Daning's army. The Yan army came to the city of Daning, and Zhu Di sent people into the city to report that because of poverty, he came to ask for help. When King Ning learned that Zhu Di was coming, although the two were close brothers, they did not dare to open the Yan army into the city, because King Yan was a rebel of the imperial court after all. Therefore, King Ning invited King Yan to ride into the city alone, and when the two saw each other, they held their hands and mourned, telling a lot. Zhu Di lived in the city for a few days in a row, and the two got along very happily, but King Ning was completely unprepared.

At this time, the Yan soldiers lying outside the city were also quietly moving, and some officials sneaked into the city and got in touch with the ministers of the three guards and many soldiers. Zhu Di said goodbye to King Ning, and King Ning went to the suburbs to feed him, and suddenly ambushed the army and kidnapped King Ning. At this time, the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei and the soldiers who had colluded in advance also gathered and cooperated with the Yan army to break through the northwest corner of the city. The Yan army rushed up, rushed into the city, captured the guard general Du Command Fang Kuan, killed Bu Wan who was imprisoned, and Du commanded Zhu Jianli to die in the melee, and Shi Shizhuo, the governor of Ning Mansion, was also killed.

Arrived in Beiping with King Ning, as well as the concubines and concubines of Ningfu.

Princess Xu and Princess Ning sat together, and Zhang Zhaohua sat at the bottom, holding the two-and-a-half-year-old Prince Ning and teasing. Princess Ning is very cramped, she and Zhang Zhaohua came out of the draft together, she is as old as Zhang Zhaohua, and she can be Princess Xu's daughter-in-law, but she and Princess Xu are concubines, and now in this situation, Beiping is not Daning, she can't help but be cramped.

"My brother and sister have been really hard these days," Princess Xu said with Yan Yuese: "In Zhengcunba, I also heard that the battle was very dangerous, and the Chinese army camp was almost caught up by the official army, and my brother and sister were also frightened a lot." ”

King Yan coerced King Ning and King Ning's family, first rushed to Baihe, and fought a battle in Zhengcunba, King Ning's daughters were in the army, and it was also very difficult, Princess Ning Zhang's family was slightly better, her father was the commander, she could also ride horses, and the other concubines of King Ning were quite tormented-

"The concubine is not hard," Princess Ning bowed and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan has a large army camp, which is as stable as Mount Tai, in addition to the palace guards, His Royal Highness King Yan has allocated two more teams of soldiers to protect it, and the concubine is really grateful to Dade." ”

"It's a family," Princess Xu pretended to be displeased, "Why do you still call yourself a concubine!"

Princess Ning was so frightened that she almost got up from her chair, and muttered for a while before she said, "Fourth sister-in-law." ”

Princess Yan laughed, and at this time, there was a deafening laughter from the front hall, and she said: "They are two brothers, and they have something to say. ”

Princess Xu's confiding began in the ninth year of Hongwu, when she married King Yan, and King Ning hadn't even been born yet! Every other year, Concubine Yang gave birth to King Ning, who was a fat boy, and Princess Xu met Queen Xiaoci Gao, and King Ning's face in swaddling clothes was still holding a bubble of urine and falling on her.

Princess Yan then followed King Yan to Beiping, but she did a good job, not only to the elderly Prince Yiwen, King Qin and King Jin, but also the princes in the Zhuwang Pavilion.

"In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu," Princess Yan said: "The emperor presided over the draft, I am not in the capital, if I am, I can meet you, and other brothers and sisters, after I was registered, I also lived in the capital for four years before I became a vassal, but you stayed for a total of less than half a year and went to the country." Yingtian has a different climate from the north, so it should have been a long time to adapt to it at that time, right?"

Princess Ning recalled: "Yes, I also had dysentery along the way, vomiting and diarrhea, and when I arrived in Daning, I couldn't get out of the car." The wind from the north blew to the bones, and it was only when I arrived at the place that I knew that the brocade in the south of the Yangtze River was enough to keep out the cold, and when I wore it to Daning, it was like I didn't wear anything. ”
