Xu Huizu returned to the capital, and the coach Li Jinglong was also recalled, because both of them were from famous families, and their fathers were both the top ten heroes of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jianwen appointed the general Sheng Yong as the general of Pingyan, regrouped, and continued to go north to quell the rebellion.

In the second year of Jianwen, in October, in the Battle of Cangzhou, Zhu Di won a complete victory, and Sheng Yong retreated to Dongchang (today's Liaocheng, Shandong).

In December, Zhu Di took advantage of the victory to pursue, rushed to attack, and made a big mistake of adventurous, the battle of Dongchang, Zhu Di's elite was almost lost, and the general Zhang Yu died heroically in order to rescue Zhu Di who was under siege!

Bring the stars down! Zhang Yu is a Mongolian military general personally recruited by Zhu Di, has been following Zhu Di's side, loyal, and helped Zhu Di to recruit more Mongolian troops, in the Jingnan army, Zhang Yu is similar to the Dinghai God Needle-like figure, Zhang Yu to Zhu Di, just like the previous spring to Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Defeated, and also lost his beloved general, Zhu Di suffered the biggest setback since the army, and led the remnants back to Beiping.

Sheng Yong was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the north was cold in December, the southern army could not adapt to the harsh weather in the north, and the sick and frostbitten wailed day and night.

The battle was temporarily at a stalemate.

King Yan was defeated and returned to Beiping, and according to the grapevine, King Yan also brought back a male doll who could just walk!

Xu Miaoyi's face was not good, she came in with this knife and scissors, and before she could ask, Zhu Di hurriedly took the initiative to confess: "It's not mine!" It's the son of the fifth brother and the Feng family! Feng was already five months pregnant when he denounced his fifth brother! She came to plan for the sake of the plan, and to protect the child in her belly. The fifth brother didn't know that he was a father in a daze, and the Feng family secretly gave birth to a child, for fear that Emperor Jianwen would find out and use it as a threat, so he asked his younger brother Feng Cheng to secretly send it to me! ”

In fact, Zhou Wang Zhu Hu is also in his forties, and in the eyes of the fourth brother, he will never grow up.

"Sit down." Xu Miaoyi pressed Zhu Di on the chair in front of the dresser, "The beard is unshaven, you look in the mirror, are you still the wise and martial King Yan?" ”

Zhu Di made a false alarm, "I thought you were angry." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll shave you." ”

Zhu Di immediately shut up and looked at Xu Miaoyi in the mirror.

The blade moved slowly at Zhu Di's chin, and wisps of messy beard fell to the ground, Xu Miaoyi said: "When I look at that child's eyes, I know that it is the son of the fifth brother." However, Feng Shi didn't want to turn back, and the fifth brother also broke off with her, this child's identity will be embarrassing in the future, we have to hide this matter and raise this child under our knees, let's call him Zhu Gaosui. ”

Zhu Di said: "Sui, Beacon Fire, but also responded to this war, so let's decide on this name." ”

Xu Miaoyi nodded, "The fifth brother has suffered this time, although he can't recognize each other, but his son is our son, and Zhu Gaosui will be written in my name in the future." ”

Xu Miaoyi shaved Zhu Di's beard, combed his hair, tied it in a jade crown, and put on a new black python robe, "You are going to preside over Zhang Yu's funeral soon, wear more spirit, and the funeral can also boost morale." ”

mentioned Zhang Yu, Zhu Di was full of remorse, "It's me who is too anxious, Dongchang was defeated, the general was lost, and all the previous achievements were lost." ”

Xu Miaoyi comforted Zhu Di, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, we can win and lose, my father Xu Da and other famous generals have also fought several defeats, I believe you will be able to regain your strength soon." ”

To be honest, Dongchang was defeated, Zhu Di's confidence was frustrated, and he thought that he would be blamed by Miaoyi, who had a temper, but he didn't expect Xu Miaoyi to suddenly become gentle and virtuous, shaved him, combed his hair and changed clothes, and comforted himself with warm words.

Zhu Di was a little stunned for a while, "I just lost a big battle, do you still believe me?" ”

Xu Miaoyi gently touched Zhu Di's chin, and the chin that had just been scraped was like sandpaper, "Last year, Xu Zuhui attacked Beiping City, and he led 100,000 troops.

There are less than 10,000 defenders in Beiping, don't you also believe that I can hold here? What we have to do is what no one has done successfully for thousands of years, you believe in me, I believe in you, and no failure can shake our faith. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "That's right, in the past two years, we have won more with less in every battle, and God still favors us." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Before you traveled, Zen Master Daoyan once calculated a hexagram, saying, 'The master must be kept, but Fei two days' at that time we thought that 'but Fei two days' means that we can win in two days, but we were wrong, in fact, the hexagram is an omen that Dongchang will lose, you think about it, the two days are stacked together, it is the word 'Chang' in Dongchang." In other words, after the Battle of Dongchang, we will be invincible! ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and muttered: "There seems to be some truth, the heavenly phenomena are mysterious, how can we ordinary people see through it." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Yes, although Dongchang was defeated, Sheng Yong did not dare to pursue you, it is winter, the weather is cold, Sheng Yong's southern army is not adaptable, retreat to the city, they have just won, they must be defenseless, it is a good time for us to attack!" ”

Zhu Di stimulated his fighting spirit and said: "Yes, Zhang Yu's funeral is also our oath meeting, taking advantage of the weak defense of the Southern Army, we will definitely be able to win back a game!" ”

Zhu Di hurriedly went to Zhang Yu's funeral, and Zen Master Daoyan walked out from behind the screen, "Your words still work, King Yan will soon return to normal after sweeping away his decadent state." ”

Zhu Di Dongchang was defeated, and Dao Yan was worried that the morale would be low and the morale of the army would be shaken, so he told Xu Miaoyi to be patient and comfort and encourage King Yan to fight again.

Only Xu Miaoyi can really comfort Zhu Di. Xu Miaoyi acted according to the plan, and it worked.

Xu Miaoyi asked: "Father-in-law, 'The teacher will be successful, but it will take two days', is it really what you said that after the defeat of Dongchang, you can win a big victory immediately?" ”

Zen Master Daoyan said: "It doesn't matter if he's real or fake, just use it." ”

Xu Miaoyi was stunned, "What if there is a failure in the future?" ”

Zen Master Daoyan said, "I have another set of arguments for the future. ”

Zhang Yu's funeral really turned into a swearing-in meeting.

Zhu Di first read the sacrificial text written by Zen Master Daoyan himself with tears in his eyes, "Evil gathers troops, wantonly kills, and tries to endanger the sect." As a last resort, raise troops to save the disaster, you are all loyal and righteous, and swear to die and live together, in order to repay the grace of my emperor. Now you are fighting hard and dying for me, I hate not to be with me, but how can I love this life, so there is still a see. The evil has not been eliminated, and the great yun has not been repaid. I couldn't bear to make the sect and the shrine Lingyi, so that Er and others were indignant underground, and they mourned and mourned urgently. ”

Thinking of the emotion, Zhu Di simply took off the python robe on the spot, threw the silk robe into the fire, and burned it!

Everyone was shocked!

Zhu Di said: "The soldiers are deeply affectionate, how can they forget me and burn this, but also show that they are alive and dead, and the dead have knowledge, and they will learn from this meaning." ”

The python robe was burned, Zhu Di caressed the corpse and cried, and the soldiers also cried loudly. Zhang Yu's son Zhang Fu is also a fierce general, he knelt in front of Zhu Di and wiped his tears and said: "In a hundred years of life, there will eventually be death, and the master has to cry and sacrifice like this, so why should I work hard, report to the country, and avenge the deceased." I am willing to wear filial piety to go out and avenge my father! ”

Zhu Di picked up Zhang Fu with his own hands and shouted loudly: "Before the expedition, the Daoyan Zen master divided the hexagram and said, 'The teacher must be kept, but it costs two days', and the double day is 'Chang'." In the Battle of Dongchang, General Zhang was martyred. But after Dongchang, we will be invincible, and we will be victorious! ”

Zhu Di raised his arms and exhaled, and Yan Jun's pent-up resentment was immediately transformed into fighting spirit, and the morale to avenge Zhang Yu and other comrades! They all shouted: "The teacher must be keen!" The teacher must be kept! ”

In the third year of Jianwen, in February, Zhu Di went out immediately after the defeat of Dongchang, taking advantage of the cold weather, the southern army was not adapted, counterattacked Sheng Yong, Sheng Yong was caught off guard, and retreated in defeat, Zhu Di successively captured Guangping, Daimyo and other places,

All the way is like a bamboo.

Capital.

Moreover, the news of the victory of the general Sheng Yong of Pingyan reached the capital, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were overjoyed, and Emperor Jianwen rewarded Sheng Yong, which coincided with the upcoming Chinese New Year's Eve, and Emperor Jianwen was overjoyed, and he could finally live a stable year.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

For example, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, who were dismissed from their posts and returned home. Sheng Yong won a complete victory, and the good news of the heavy blow to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in Dongchang compared the two former marshals to the mud.

The government and the opposition discussed one after another, saying that Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong were tiger fathers and dogs, and they insulted the prestige of their fathers Xu Da and Li Wenzhong.

Xu Huizu borrowed wine at home to kill his sorrows, and he didn't notice that his younger brother Xu Zengshou quietly ran out again.

Southern Dynasty gold powder, ten miles of Qinhuai.

On the delicate painting boat, two stunning women, one on the left and one on the right, frequently persuaded to drink, Li Jinglong impatiently pushed the wine glass aside, "Where is your newly selected Oiran?" After receiving the master's money, why don't you come up to accompany the master! ”

A yin and yang weird voice came, "Yo, Cao Guogong is so anxious, the slave family is here!" ”

Seeing this person, Li Jinglong was slightly surprised: "How do you know that I am here?" ”

The person who came said with a smile: "You and I are friends in wine and meat, when I was young, I fought for Oiran in the flower building, and I fought countless times with jealousy. Smelling that Qin Huaihe has selected a new Oiran, of course I know that you will come to kiss Fang Ze haha! ”

Li Jinglong grabbed the wine glass casually and smashed it, "The second boy of the Xu family!" You still have the face to see me! ”

The person who came was Xu Zengshou, the second master of the Wei State Mansion. The wine soaked the upper of his shoes, Xu Zengshou was not annoyed, he sat next to Li Jinglong with a smile, withdrew from everyone, and poured a glass of wine himself, "I'm late, I'll punish myself with three glasses." ”

Li Jinglong said angrily: "Do you still want to be faced? I didn't invite you again! ”

Xu Zengshou said with a smile: "I want to see you Cao Guogong, and I have to come to see you if I don't have the face." ”

After that, Xu Zengshou drank three glasses of wine.

Li Jinglong's anger was especially there, "You kid is not interesting enough, the two of us have been friends for decades." As a result, I fought with your brother-in-law Zhu Di, and you went to help me persuade me to surrender on the surface, but in fact, you were pulling the wrong frame and helping you! ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Li Jinglong, by now, you have lost your royal heart, and the one in the government and the opposition who does not laugh at you for being incompetent and cowardly, and has buried an army of 600,000 people——"

Li Jinglong said angrily: "Nonsense! That 100,000 should be spread on your eldest brother's head! ”

Xu Zengshou spread his hands helplessly, "But you are the boss, you can't throw this black pot on my eldest brother's head." In fact, I feel sorry for you and my eldest brother from the bottom of my heart. It's not that you are weak, but my brother-in-law Zhu Di is too strong, the time and place are favorable, no matter how capable you are, you can't fight the will of God! ”

Li Jinglong sneered: "Don't brag, Sheng Yong has just won a great victory in Dongchang." King Yan was defeated. ”

Xu Zengshou said with a smile: "In less than a month, my brother-in-law will turn defeat into victory." ”

Li Jinglong said coldly: "Just by what you say, reaching the emperor's ears is a capital crime of collaborating with the enemy." ”

"With my father's residual power and my eldest brother's protection, the emperor won't kill me, but-" Xu Zengshou rubbed to Li Jinglong's side and said in a low voice: "Have you thought about it?" Once King Yan hits Nanjing, I will be the uncle of the country, and your Li family will be beheaded all over the house. ”

Li Jinglong sneered: "Yes, then wait until King Yan has the ability to fight in Nanjing." ”

Xu Zengshou said: "When you wait until the day, it's too late. We have been friends for many years, and it is not good to see death and not save it, if you now join King Yan, I guarantee that your Li family is prosperous and rich, and it is definitely more beautiful than when your father was in the past. Think about it, you have nothing now, the emperor doesn't believe in you anymore, and he won't reuse you, and you're still ridiculed all day long, how boring, it's better to fight with me, and I will be ashamed in the future. ”

Li Jinglong was a little moved, "Will King Yan really win?" ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if King Yan fails, you are still Cao Guogong, and there is nothing to lose." In fact, you don't have to do anything, just tell me an answer, and King Yan will remember your goodness, and there will be a great reward in the future. ”

Li Jinglong asked, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Xu Zengshou asked, "Where is Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou?" ”

Li Jinglong said: "Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum. ”

Xu Zengshou said with a smile: "The emperor claims to be locked up in Fengyang, but he is not there. The emperor consulted with several ministers yesterday and decided to take Zhu Hu hostage and coerce King Yan to surrender, and we must rescue King Zhou before this, so as not to fall into passivity. I know that King Zhou was personally escorted back to Beijing by you and imprisoned, so let's be honest. ”

Li Jinglong was shocked: "The emperor and Minister Gu Ming are discussing military affairs, how do you know?" ”

Xu Zengshou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Most of the people in the palace, as well as the ministers in the court, have secretly submitted to King Yan. Don't talk about any major military aircraft, I even know exactly what color underwear the emperor wears. So I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, once the cold stove becomes a hot stove, you can't burn it even if you rush to burn it. ”

Li Jinglong pondered for a moment and said, "King Zhou is secretly imprisoned in the palace of the small island in the middle of the lake in Bafutang, the capital...... 166 Reading Network
