Zhu Di looked at Zhu Quan's group of concubines, and he was also funny, but he didn't show up. Although the couple is shrewd, they are thoughtful, generous and gentle. Zhu Quan persuaded Zhu Di to drink, and Yuli persuaded me to dish.

And so, after a few days, the couple was hospitable every day, not mentioning when we would be allowed to go or how long we would stay. In the last ten days, Zhu Di asked Zhu Quan to ride a horse together, and said to Zhu Quan on horseback, "Seventeenth brother, my subordinates are now outside Daning City, I want to call a few generals in to discuss how to settle those brothers outside." Do you think it's possible? ”

Zhu Di's tone was very humble, Zhu Quan listened, hesitated, but agreed, after all, Zhu Di did not propose that the army enter the city, if he did not discuss the disposal of these people, he would always stay outside the city and spread to the imperial court, which would not be good for himself.

Zhu Quan not only ordered to take a few of Zhu Di's henchmen into the city, but he was still enthusiastic about picking up the wind and dust, and these generals also looked tired of military life. Just eat and drink in Daning City every day, enjoy flowers and raise birds.

Zhu Di looks good every day, very indifferent, but I know that he is not relaxed in his heart. Sure enough, in just over a month, several groups of people have sent the latest news from Beiping from King Yan's mansion. This rule was also discussed with Zhu Gaochi before Zhu Di left, keeping in touch at any time and knowing each other's recent situation. Zhu Gaochi is also a person who reports good news but not bad news, and there has been no bad news, and Zhu Di is a little relieved in Daning City.

On this day, Zhu Quan's henchman Zhu Jian came to report, and when he saw Zhu Di there, he said with a smile, "Lord Yan is also here, it's just right, Ma Sanbao, the first-class guard of your mansion, is outside the city at this time and asks to enter the city." ”

Zhu Di's face changed slightly, and he glanced at me before he calmed down and said, "Really, this king is hiding cleanly, why did he chase after him?" ”

Zhu Quan smiled, "This is not difficult, I also know Sanbao, he is here, there must be something important to tell the fourth brother, let him come in, Zhu Jian is really, the older he gets, the more he can't do things, how can he let people wait outside the city?" ”

Zhu Jian was originally cautious, unwilling to make a mistake and provoke the master's blame, but he didn't expect to provoke Zhu Quan's complaints like this, which was also stupid, and hurriedly rode back to the city gate to pick up Ma Sanbao.

After Sanbao arrived at King Ning's mansion, he first saluted King Ning, and then saluted Zhu Di, Zhu Di looked impatient, "Didn't you let you live a good life in Beiping?" What are you doing here to find this king? ”

Sanbao looked at Zhu Quan, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't bear Zhu Di's question, so he said, "The princess and several princes are guarding the empty city, so I don't feel anxious, I look forward to the prince coming back every day, and I am anxious that the emperor will blame, and after so many days, I finally can't help but send me here......"

Zhu Quan looked at Ma Sanbao with a smug smile on his face, and seemed to be slightly disdainful, Zhu Di had to pretend not to see it, and frowned at Ma Sanbao and said, "Woman's opinion!" You're messing around with them, too! I don't have to call the seventeenth brother a joke. You go down first, and then tell me what you have in the evening. ”

Zhu Quan saw that Zhu Di was embarrassed and annoyed, and hurriedly comforted, "My own brother, where is the fourth brother!" Can I still laugh at my own brother? I think my sister-in-law is in a hurry. My letter has been sent to the imperial court in an urgent hurry for 800 miles, presumably the emperor has also made a decision in his heart, fourth brother, don't doubt that I am driving you away, you are always here, sister-in-law is really anxious. ”

Zhu Di's face was embarrassed, and he said to Zhu Quan after a while, "That's it, I'll go back to the room and sit down first, and I'm so angry with this thing that I have a headache." ”

Zhu Quan hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, I just said casually, don't take it to heart, I'm here, the fourth brother comes and goes freely, and you can stay as long as you want." ”

Zhu Di's face was pale, nodded slightly, then waved his sleeves and walked away, I saw Zhu Di like this, and he was anxious to be blessed by Zhu Quan, and quickly left with Zhu Di. Zhu Di Sanbao and I returned to his house together, and finally changed the expression on his face, Zhu Di was no longer annoyed and angry, I was no longer submissive, and Sanbao was no longer in a hurry. After closing the door, Zhu Di asked, "How is Beiping?" ”

Sanbao said, "After the prince left, Li Jinglong sent people to inquire in many ways, and finally learned the news that the prince had left Beiping, so he immediately personally led 500,000 southern troops to besiege Beiping. He built a fortress at the nine gates of Beiping, Tongzhou was also beaten, and Zhengba Village had nine of his camps as the basis for the attack. ”

Hearing this posture, I became nervous, Zhu Di also listened to Sanbao's words, we didn't dare to breathe, 500,000, 500,000 troops! This is not a joke, they still have artillery, no matter how good Li Jinglong is, no matter how good he is at fighting, he has an old affection for Zhu Di, and he came to attack the city with such a strong force, if it can't be broken, it is unreasonable.

"Chi'er is too immature, Xu'er is too arrogant, and now in the face of such a big formation, I'm afraid I'm scared, right?" Zhu Di sighed and said.

Sanbao nodded, "Don't say that the princes are frightened, even I am frightened, I have followed the prince for so many years, although I have been on countless battlefields large and small, but after all, the Yuan army is a remnant army, how can there be such a strong strength of the imperial court?" 500,000 troops, artillery in the sky, I stood on the city wall and looked down, hundreds of thousands of people climbed up the city wall like ants, and everyone was frightened.

The defenders of the city gate were even more ill-prepared, and the southern army was cunning, seeing this flaw, and concentrated their firepower to attack, and most of us were scattered in an instant. ”

"What! So what's going on now?! Is Shunseongmon lost?! I jumped up from my seat in fright, grabbed the corner of Sanbao's clothes and shook it desperately, "Did you escape?" How's the palace going? What about the princess? What about the son? ”

Zhu Di's face was also very cold, but he was still calm, and frowned at me, "After listening to him, if Beiping is lost, he won't be like this now." ”

Sanbao said excitedly, and he was also red-faced, and when Zhu Di said this, he smiled slightly, "The prince is the prince after all, and I haven't seen anything in the world!"

At this time, I was at the north gate, and General Zhang Yu was at the south gate, and we received the news of asking for help, and we were unable to go to the rescue. Fortunately, at this time, General Liang Mingliang rushed over, reorganized the troops and added defense. ”

I patted my chest, "Thanks to General Liang, the prince will reward him well when he goes back." ”

Sanbao smiled, "Not really! There's another miracle that I don't say you wouldn't have anticipated. ”

"What a miracle, don't sell it! My heart will go up and down with your words, and I can't stand the fright anymore. ”

Sanbao no longer has the nervousness of Fang Cai, and said proudly, "We all say that the prince has prestige on weekdays, and no one in Beiping City praises and respects everyone. Do you know that at such a critical juncture, the men of our Beiping City needless to say, all climbed the city wall to fight against foreign enemies, but the women and children in our city did not let their eyebrows be shaved! They each took off the bricks and tiles from the roof of their houses, and they also died, and it was useless to keep the house, so it was better to fight with them together. Although they didn't help much, they lifted the spirits of the soldiers who were already a little weak and short of breath.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the troops besieging the Shuncheng Gate were actually repulsed by us. ”

Hearing this, I finally relaxed a little, and looked at Zhu Di, but his face was still solemn, I saw his Adam's apple squirming, and said in a low voice, "There is not much time left, we must do things here quickly, otherwise Bei Shiping will really be lost." ”

Sanbao nodded like pounding garlic, "That's why I'm here this time!" Although Beiping was saved this time, our army's vitality was greatly damaged, and the supply was much less, and it couldn't withstand the second siege, my lord, can you borrow good soldiers? ”

"Brother Seventeen is a very cunning man, this king has been here for almost a month, and he still hasn't told me too many truths, it seems that we have to come to some hard. Helian, have all the people who let them in done? Zhu Di asked me. I replied, "I've met their head today, and it's almost done." Duoyan Sanwei is basically cavalry, many of this group of people are the Yuan army that surrendered back then, it is needless to say that they are brave and good at fighting, but they are a little arrogant, and they look down on integrity and loyalty, and they are very interested in silver money. We have spent a lot of white silver, and we have bought more than half of the 60,000 lions. The prince wants to defect, and the time is ripe. ”

Zhu Di nodded, smiled at me, and looked at Sanbao again, "Zhu Di, how can he be, I am fortunate to have you people by my side." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, but Sanbao said, "Don't dare to be." ”

Zhu Di and I discussed on the road that day, at first I wanted to directly lobby Zhu Quan and let him join the Jingnan, but Zhu Di disagreed, he said that although Zhu Quan had a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but the cutting of the feudal domain had not yet cut to his head, calling him to rebel, he did not have the courage to do so, and finally we had to come up with a strategy, that is, I and Zhu Di mixed into the Ning Wangfu, first fooled Zhu Quan, whether he believed us or not, first lived for a period of time, when this kind of army fought, time was more precious than gold, and it could be spent on his mansion for a month. That was basically leaving Beiping behind, and it was because of this that Zhu Quan let off his guard and believed us a little.

A few days ago, he proposed to let in a few generals, and Zhu Quan relaxed his vigilance and happily agreed. In fact, when these people came in, they brought a lot of silver, they were martial artists, and they also had a lot of conversations with the leaders of Duoyan Sanwei, and after they got close, they took a lot of silver to buy, so that these days, they have already bought most of the Duoyan Sanwei that everyone wants.
