285 Cannibalism
The second year of Jianwen, April.
The 500,000 army led by Li Jinglong went to Yandi and was known as the million-strong division to the outside world. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, met the enemy, and the two sides fought in Baihegou.
Li Jinglong's generals ambushed Zhu Di, the king of Yan, safely, and the Jingnan army suffered heavy losses and suffered the biggest setback since the army.
The next day, Zhu Di regrouped, crossed the river again to fight, led the elite to personally assault, and rushed into the camp tent of the Chinese army, but he was attacked by the enemy on his back and was defended by the army!
Li Jinglong thought he was victorious and shouted "Surrender or kill!" ”
Zhu Di sneered, changed his horse three times, and continued to fight, running out of arrows. The third son, Zhu Gaoxu, put the shield in front of Zhu Di, "Father! I'll supervise the battle for you, you rush out first! ”
Zhu Di shook his head and looked at the sky, "Hold on for a while, Zen Master Daoyan is familiar with the climate here, he watched the stars at night, calculated that today's weather will change abruptly, the wind direction will change, and we will take advantage of the chaos to turn defeat into victory!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the weather changed suddenly! The sunny weather suddenly overshadowed the sun, and the wind direction changed from north to south! In Li Jinglong's big tent of the Chinese army, Feng Cheng, the younger brother of Princess Zhou, had already secretly taken refuge in King Yan, and when the surrounding officers were stunned, he secretly released a cold arrow, and one arrow broke the flagpole of Commander Li Jinglong!
"Dao Yan really lives up to me!" Zhu Di was overjoyed, hurriedly waved the order flag, and launched a fire attack!
Rocket salvo!
The fire borrowed the wind, coupled with the fire prevention of a "spy" like Feng Cheng, which instantly ignited Li Jinglong's Chinese army camp tent.
Victory was in sight, and suddenly God didn't have long eyes, which made Li Jinglong instantly fall into passivity.
Li Jinglong was so shocked that he even forgot to give the order to retreat, and ran away first!
Seeing that the flagpole of the commander was broken, and Li Jinglong was nowhere to be found, the crusading army was leaderless, and the fire was fierce, King Yan's Jingnan army took the opportunity to counterattack, and the crusading army's heart was scattered, but they no longer resisted, and fled in all directions!
In the battle of Baihegou, King Yan turned defeat into victory, and Marshal Li Jinglong retreated to Jinan.
No, it was Li Jinglong himself who fled to Jinan first......
Yandi, Beiping City.
Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, led an army of 100,000 to surround Beiping City!
The soldiers came to the city, and the vast majority of the Jingnan army followed King Yan to Baihegou to fight Li Jinglong, and there were only 10,000 soldiers defending the city!
Xu Miaoyi wore her husband's armor, rode a war horse, and slowly walked out of Dongzhimen single-handedly.
The commander of the siege, Xu Huizu, was not riding, he was wearing a half-worn armor - a relic of his father Xu Da, and Xu Huizu was holding a red cloth wrapped in both hands.
Xu Huizu unveiled the red cloth.
What he is holding in his hand is actually the tablet of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan!
As soon as she saw the tablet, Xu Miaoyi immediately dismounted with a solemn expression.
Xu Huizu asked, "Why don't you kneel when you see your father's divine position?" ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to your parents, it is righteous, otherwise it is a great unfilial piety." However, since you want to kneel, you and my brother and sister should kneel together. ”
Xu Huizu spread the red cloth on the ground, carefully arranged the tablet, and the two brothers and sisters knelt down towards Xu Da's tablet together.
Xu Huizu slowed down his tone and said, "Big sister, although you and I are not born from the same mother, we are related by blood, and we are both father's children.
Father Rong Ma all his life, was seriously injured during the Northern Expedition, got a back sore and died, to his death was to protect the Ming Dynasty, can you agree? ”
Xu Miaoyi nodded, "Yes, my father's life is really admirable, I respect him and love him." ”
Xu Huizu said: "You are a woman's family, your husband sings with her wife, and King Yan rebels, as a wife, you really have a last resort." I have already pleaded with the emperor, as long as you know your mistakes and can change them, open the gate of Beiping, and surrender to the court with the children, the emperor will definitely open the net and pardon you and your six nephews for capital crimes. If you succeed in persuading King Yan to surrender, put down your weapons and surrender, the emperor will pardon King Yan for his capital crimes, regardless of his previous suspicions. ”
Xu Miaoyi asked, "Does the eldest brother know the fate of King Xiang's family?" They lit the fire*. ”
Xu Huizu said: "The king of Xiang committed suicide in fear of sin, and he died innocently. ”
Xu Miaoyi asked, "Does the eldest brother know the fate of King Zhou?" ”
Xu Huizu said: "The king of Zhou betrayed his relatives and left, and was reported by his wife Feng for hiding the dragon robe privately, intending to rebel, he was deposed as a concubine, and the emperor was merciful and spared him from death." ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "Before the first emperor died, the eldest brother was also present, and he should have heard the poisonous oath made by Emperor Jianwen before the first emperor died, 'I firmly believe in the emperor's uncles, and I will never be provoked by others to do things that kill each other, if you violate the oath, you will abdicate and give way to the virtuous, cut off your children and grandchildren, and die without a place to be buried!" 'The first emperor's bones are not cold, and the emperor can't wait to listen to the slander, do something to the emperor's uncle, and hope that the eldest brother will turn back, don't help the abuse! ”
was rebelled by his sister, Xu Huizu's face sank, "In this way, my sister is obsessed and insists on being disloyal and unfilial to King Yan?" ”
Xu Miaoyi retorted: "The eldest brother helped to abuse the city, and the 100,000-strong army besieged the city, which violated the last orders of the first emperor, and was disloyal." Second, the eldest brother bullies the little with the more, and the big with the small, and wants to kill the younger sister and nephews, which is unfilial. An army of 100,000 is also a disloyal and unfilial army! ”
The two armies are facing each other, and the coaches of both sides are still brothers and sisters!
Before the war began, the managers had already begun to fight with each other, testing each other for the commanding heights of morality and justice in order to suppress each other's morale.
"Oh my God! Luckily, Daddy left early! Otherwise, when his old man sees you killing each other, he won't be angry to death! ”
When the stalemate was in a stalemate, Xu Zengshou ran over crying like a mourner, knelt between Xu Miaoyi and Xu Huizu and cried to the ground, snot and tears smeared on the armor of the brother and sister, and the scene was "beautiful" in an instant.
Under Xu Zengshou's blind stirring, the tongue war between the brother and sister reached a stalemate, and they didn't say a word, silently kneeling in front of Xu Da's divine throne.
Xu Zengshou wiped his tears and said: "Our three brothers and sisters were not born to the same mother, but they are all the children of our father. Today, we don't talk about politics, we don't talk about positions, we don't talk about right and wrong, we only talk about brothers and sisters. For the sake of my father's spirit in heaven, you can't fight each other! ”
The first day of the siege of the army was spent in Xu Zengshou's crying.
The next day, Xu Huizu was about to give the order to attack the city, Xu Zengshou sat in front of Dongzhi Gate with Xu Da's tablet and continued to cry.
It is impossible for Xu Huizu to blast the tablets of his younger brother and father to pieces in full view of everyone.
It is impossible for Xu Miaoyi to order the arrows to be fired at the tablets of her brother and father who are crying bitterly.
So the second day of the battle was still spent in Xu Zengshou's crying.
On the third day, Xu Zengshou's voice was already hoarse.
However, Xu Zengshou carried a ladder and wrote eight big characters on the nine gates of Beiping overnight: "The spiritual seat of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan"
Xu Huizu attacked Beiping City under the banner of Wang Shi. If you shoot at your father's spiritual position, wouldn't it be a great unfilial piety?
Xu Huizu was furious, ordered someone to splash water to wash the ink on the city gate, and carried Xu Zengshou down from the ladder, tied up the flowers, and threw it in
in the tent.
Xu Zengshou said hoarsely: "Big brother! Now, Miaoyi has no turning back, you can't do it to your sister and nephews! ”
Xu Huizu yelled: "Is there a way back for me?" ”
Xu Zengshou said: "Even if Miaoyi is wrong, it should not be rebelled by King Yan, but it should not be attacked by the eldest brother. Has the eldest brother ever thought about his father's feelings under the Nine Springs? Even if the city of Beiping is broken and the big brother wins a complete victory, you will have to bear the notoriety of cannibalism and unfilial piety! ”
A trace of confusion flashed in Xu Huizu's eyes, and then his eyes were solemn, and he said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been both. Forced to this point, you can only give up filial piety to fulfill loyalty! ”
Xu Zengshou hugged his eldest brother's leg, "Big brother! Do you think about how my father loved Miaoyi when he was alive? Can you really bear to do it? You have an army of 100,000 and bullied Miaoyi 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, don't you feel sorry? ”
Xu Huizu firmly broke his younger brother's hands one by one, "Back then, my grandfather Xie Zaixing rebelled, my grandmother Xie was assassinated, Miaoyi disappeared, and my father was also struggling and suffering like me back then. Dad knew that there was a difference, but he didn't intercede for the Xie family, just silently looked for Miaoyi, this time, knowing that the king was wrong, but for the sake of the king, he would rather endure the pain and misunderstanding alone, which is brave and loyal. I am my father's son, and I just made the same choice today as my father did back then, and my father will forgive me. ”
After that, without waiting for his younger brother Xu Zengshou to argue, Xu Huizu quickly left the camp and instructed his entourage, "Send the second master back to the capital immediately, lock him in the ancestral hall of the Xu family, and don't go out!" ”
Xu Zengshou was gagged, thrown into a carriage, and transported to the capital.
One day and one night, when he arrived in Shandong, Xu Zengshou was untied.
The entourage persuaded: "Second master! Save your snacks! It's already like this, whether it's the eldest lady or Wei Guogong, there is no way back. ”
Xu Zengshou leaned in the carriage and muttered, "I was wrong, I was really wrong." ”
The attendant was overjoyed, "It's good to know that it's wrong." ”
Xu Zengshou said: "I'm so stupid, how can I use ink to write 'The Spirit of King Xu Da of Zhongshan' - I should splash paint to write!" ”
In Beiping City, the war is in full swing.
Bang!
The artillery suppressed Xu Miaoyi and couldn't raise her head, and the eldest son Zhu Gaochi said: "Mother, do you want to send someone to find Daddy to reinforce us?" ”
Xu Miaoyi gritted her teeth and said, "No! Your father is fighting a fierce battle with Li Jinglong's 500,000-strong army in Baihegou, and he can't be distracted. ”
"Get out of the way! Boiling water is coming! The lord of Yong'an led a group of women and children to carry buckets of boiling hot water up the city tower, poured them on the siege soldiers who climbed the city wall, and immediately scalded a large area.
Xu Miaoyi got a chance to breathe, rearranged the city wall defense, wiped a handful of black ash on her face, and comforted her son: "You see, our 10,000 defenders have also lasted for five days, we are creating miracles, and so is your father." ”
Xu Miaoyi called Zhu Gaochi and the county lord of Yong'an to him, "Your second uncle has helped us support us for two and a half precious days, you must keep in mind the kindness of your second uncle, and provide for him in the future, so that you will not be hurt in vain." ”
Zhu Gaochi and the county lord of Yongan said: "Yes, the second uncle has long been as close as his father. 166 Reading Network
