Time has entered the fourth year of Jianwen, and the war situation in the north has become even more incomprehensible.

In the past three years, the battles between the northern and southern armies were mainly concentrated in the two provinces of Heshan and Shandong. However, in terms of the results of the battle, the Yan army has been fighting for three years, and there has been little progress, and their iron cavalry has always been in Shandong and Hebei, and the imperial court soldiers have won many victories, even if the defeat is fierce, they can replenish the troops and supplies at any time, so that the northern army is unable to attack.

Due to the limited territory of the Northern Army, most of the supplies came from the war captures, they could not afford to raise too many soldiers, and the total strength was always maintained at about fifteen or sixteen hundred, which made them have the ability to fight in the field, but they did not have enough troops to disperse and defend the various cities they conquered. Therefore, in the past three years, although they have taken down many cities such as Shunde, Guangping, and Daimyo, they have been spinning and losing, either giving up on their own initiative, or being recaptured by the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and those who can always be firmly in the hands of the Yan army are only Beiping, Baoding, and Yongping.

On the surface, the Yan army did not take any advantage, but the imperial court knew its own affairs, but they knew how much the imperial court had lost in the past three years of hard fighting, the treasury was empty, the servants had been recruited more than millions of times, and all the troops that could be mobilized had been put into the northern battlefield, and they could no longer come up with money to raise troops, nor did they have enough troops to supplement the needs of the northern battlefield.

Even the 400,000 capital garrison troops that were originally waiting for Jinling City and could not be transferred out without being moved by thunder have been quietly transferred out of 100,000 by them and put them on the northern battlefield. Now Qi Tai and Wang Shuying are recruiting troops and raising grain in Guangde, and Huang Zicheng and Yao Shan are recruiting troops and raising grain in Suzhou, Lian Zining, Huang Guan and Ma Meiyin are going to Hangzhou and other places to raise grain and grass and recruit soldiers, and the people are being looted and complained.

In this case, how many important things need to be dealt with, but the genius emperor Zhu Yunfen somehow, but he remembered that he went to Yunnan to be the fifth uncle of Taishan of the apes to come to the family of King Xiang, King Qi was imprisoned in Fengyang Da Shan Prison, the acting king was detained in a different place to Sichuan, and King Ning followed King Yan to Fan, only Zhou Wang Yu was still chalky in these kings, although he lived a savage life of eating and sleeping in the dew.

This is too unsafe, in case King Yan sends someone to Yunnan to rescue him, and the three princes call for the world to be appeased, wouldn't it be even more powerful? So, Zhu Yunfen hurriedly issued an edict, and his fifth uncle Zhu Cabinet hurriedly returned to Beijing from Yunnan to 100,000 yuan, found a place in Jinling City to detain him, and watched it under his nose, so that he could rest assured.

When Yun Wei "had no last resort" and took precautions to change his fifth uncle from exile to detention and imprisonment, what was his "Wolong" Mr. Xizhi doing? Mr. Xizhi quoted scriptures, carefully researched, and worked hard all night, and finally completed a major event, and he set the rank of official of the Ming Dynasty.

He reformed and refined the official rank system during the Hongwu Dynasty, and formulated the number of civil honors, the number of military ranks, the number of civil officials, the number of military officials, the number of civil officials, the number of military officials, etc., and so on, and presented them to the emperor, issued an edict to the world, and implemented them immediately.

These two are out of tune......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

While the two of them were too busy to get their hands on ideas, there was still a war going on in the north.

After the New Year, the Yan army sent troops again to capture Dong'e, Dongping, Wenshang, Chongzhou, Jiyang and other places. The rebellious general Sheng Yong also retreated step by step, and the imperial court's lack of soldiers and money and food had begun to be reflected on the battlefield.

In this case, the recitals of inviting soldiers and food flew to the capital like snowflakes, and the uncoordinated emperor Zhu Yunfen and his uncoordinated prime minister Fang Xiaoru became nervous, who to send to relieve the siege of Shandong? The two of them discussed and discussed, but they couldn't find a usable handsome person before they finally thought of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei.

Although Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru did not form a family of children, they finally had some friendship with each other during the days when the two sides were in contact, which was much stronger than before when the two sides were not familiar with each other.

Since the localities have already been unable to draw troops and horses, it is not allowed to draw troops and horses from the localities in terms of time. Fang Xiaoru also offered a plan to draw another 100,000 troops from the army of the garrison Beijing Division and take it to Shandong by Xu Huizu. Of course, the army must be assigned to supervise the army and have the ultimate right to command the army.

This is first-class top-secret news, and when troops and horses are drawn from the Beijing camp, Nanjing will be empty. Because the grain and grass in Fanpei County were burned before, they also knew that there were Yan Wang's eyes and ears in the Jingshi, so this news was top secret, and no one had told them except for the two of them.

Xu Huizu has not yet arrived in Shandong, Zhu Xiang has already thrown down the Jinan city, swaggered from the city of Jinan, all the way to attack the city, and soon killed Pei County, and then go to Xuzhou, and cross the Yellow River is the capital of Fengyang.

For a time, Sheng Yong, Ping'an, He Fu, Chen Hui and other generals panicked, and rushed one after another, blocking and chasing, and it was necessary to let King Yan stop on the bank of the Yellow River. Seeing that the southern armies from all walks of life were coming, and his eldest brother Xu Huizu led the troops to meet him, Zhu Lin took a strategic detour and moved all the way to the area of Filter River and Lingbi.

He Fu was in the deep trench of Lingbi, and wanted to fight a protracted battle with King Yan, repeat his old tricks, and consume King Yan back to Beiping. Seeing this, Zhu Biao went to intercept his grain and prevent the grain and grass from reaching Lingbi, this time He Fu was cocooned and self-bound, he didn't dare to go to war, and he didn't have food to eat if he didn't fight, so he had to send someone to Ping'an for help.

Ping'an led the troops to He Fu to relieve the siege, but was defeated by the king of Yan with the elite iron cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei as the vanguard, and the army of Ping An was cut into two, and the remaining pieces were killed. Anyway, he rescued the embarrassed Ping'an and other generals back to the cottage. Zhu Di didn't attack, just confronted him at the bottom of the mountain.

Encircling the point to send reinforcements, this is a good method that has been tried and tested since ancient times.

There was already a shortage of food on the mountain, and suddenly there was a team of defeated soldiers who came to the rescue.

Seeing that this was not the way to go, He Fu discussed with Ping'an and others, and decided that instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it was better to forcibly break through the siege, move to the Huai River area, and move grain from nearby states and counties.

The generals have decided to immediately issue an order to the whole army, and tomorrow they will take the three horns as an order, and when they hear the sound of the cannons, they will immediately rush out of the cottage and break through in the direction of the river.

In one camp, the flag officer turned to leave after announcing the commander's order, and the two soldiers winked at each other and quietly stepped aside.

These two people, one is called Dongfang Liang, the other is called Yue Junhong, the battle of Baigou River, it was this Yue Junhong who brought down the Shuai Qi, so that Li Jinglong, who had the upper hand, was defeated, and then the two were awarded the General Banner and the Hundred Households respectively for their merits, but they finally entered the side of the officers and soldiers, so the two of them were still ordered to lurk here.

"Brother Dongfang, tomorrow is going to break through one by one, one by one, one by one,

"I know!"

Dongfang Liang put his hands on his hands, rubbed his nose with his jacket sleeves, and looked around with his eyes rolling: "Your Highness, in order to prevent the night attack of the Southern Army, the place where the camp is not close, if you break through the siege, the Southern Army will be able to escape at least half of it." Since he has been a personal soldier by Li Jinglong's side for a few days, in the past year, our brothers have followed the iron lock first, then Sheng Yong, and then Ping'an, and the hard days should come to an end, let's touch it back tonight and report to His Highness. ”

The two men looked at each other, laughed twice, and walked away.

"We are pests, we are moths, we hide in the most hidden corners, revealing the most harmless appearance, silently, eroding the beams and pillars of the master's house, and a gust of wind comes and makes it collapse with a bang, and we don't know what is happening......"

Early the next morning, all the soldiers and horses on the village got up one after another, lit the fire and cooked, and prepared to break through after a full meal, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion were assembled one after another, only a small part of them were assembled.

The soldiers of each battalion were stunned: "Have you begun to break through?" ”

There are already assembled troops reacted relatively quickly, and immediately ran to the camp gate first, and the people who reacted slowly also understood that they wanted to break through under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Yan army, what a dangerous thing it was, and those who were left behind, if they were not hacked to death, they would have to be captured, so they could no longer care about the side of the chief officer, everyone was vying to be the first, and they were brave enough to move forward, just to break into the gate of the village.

Naturally, the senior generals clearly knew that they had not yet issued the order to break out, but at this time, no matter how they shouted hoarsely, they could not stop the soldiers who bombed the battalion.

Outside the mountain col, Zhu Oak stood on the hillside, with a squat artillery under his feet, the scarlet cloak fluttered with the mountain wind, like a red cloud, seeing the Southern soldiers pouring out like a tide, Zhu Lin smiled slightly, and indifferently ordered: "Let half of it out, and then get stuck in the mountain.!" ”

This battle, if this battle is also considered a war, will soon be over.

More than 150 people, including 37 generals including Ping'an, civil officials and eunuchs of the supervising army, were captured alive. Originally, they knew that they had not yet ordered a breakthrough, so they were also the ones who stayed at the rear, so they were naturally caught in the urn. Especially Ping'an, since Ping'an fought with the Yan army, he has been brave and fierce, winning more and losing less, and his capture made the Yan army thunderous.

Two pests, meritorious service again!

In the southwest of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, at the junction with Dangtu County of Taiping Prefecture, there is a Cimu Mountain, which is also called by the locals as Cimu Mountain and Mao'er Mountain. The mountain is not too high, more than 50 zhang, the stones are near the river, the bank wall is exquisite, and the scenery is beautiful. The mountain is rich in a kind of hanging bamboo, which can be used to make a flute, and the sound of the hole flute made is rich and mellow, loud and far-reaching, and it is famous all over the world.

Not far from the bottom of the mountain is an official road passing through the southwest direction of Cimu Mountain, and the business travel on the road is endless. Not far from the official road, there is a small mountain villa near the mountain, twenty or thirty families, rely on slag beating, ferrying, and setting up tea stalls on the roadside for a living, and occasionally there are people who go up the mountain to cut down old bamboos and send them to the city to sell in the music store, which can only make extra money, and it is not a long-term solution.

The family at the head of the village is surnamed Chen.

Granny Chen, who is over 60 years old, is sitting in her small courtyard and talking to two girls sitting on small horses. The two girls are only fourteen or fifteen years old, one is wearing a red jacket, and it looks like she has just opened her face for a long time. This girl is the granddaughter of Granny Chen, named Bai Xianxian, who has been married for three days, and has just returned to the door with her new aunt today.

Another little girl is dressed rustic, and her hairstyle is also rustic, but her facial features are very delicate, not at all as rustic as she is dressed up.

But it's not surprising, there is no mother at home, and it is normal for a little girl to be sloppy with two big men, the uncle and the second uncle.

This little girl's name is Sharp, is the girl of Granny Chen's neighbor's house, there is only one man in the neighbor's house, from Henan, has lived here for almost a year, and then asked Granny Chen's eldest son to help, introduced a job as a porter in the quarry, usually not a big family, last month his brother brought Sharp also came here, it is said that the hometown was flooded.

"Poor thing, this Yellow River just doesn't stop, in the future, let's live on the edge of this Yangtze River!" Granny Chen, who eats by water, said.

The two families quickly became acquainted, and Sharp often came to Granny Chen's house to visit the house, and became very good friends with Bai Xianxian. Three days ago, Bai Xianxian got married, and when she returned today, she naturally wanted to come to see her best friend.

Granny Chen taught her granddaughter while holding the soles of her shoes: "When you get married, you must understand the rules, no matter who comes before or after, you must have the appearance of a daughter-in-law." Look at you, one by one, you are called by him, that is your man, can you call it that, so that people can not laugh at us when we hear it, and we have no tutor in the Bai family. ”

Bai Xian pouted and said, "Isn't there no outsider?" ”

"It wouldn't be possible without outsiders!"

Xia Jing blinked her eyes and interjected and asked, "Granny Chen, what should I call it?" ”

Granny Chen said: "No matter who has come before or after, you should be ...... to your own man."

As soon as he said this, someone in the house shouted: "Old woman, old woman, what about my gown, my uncle is here, I have to go and get some wine." ”

"This old immortal!"

Granny Chen stood up and shouted into the house as she walked: "Can't you see such a big gown?" It's almost right under your nose! ”

Bai Xianxian and Sharp glanced at each other, stuck out their tongues, and laughed together.

"Ah, my uncle is back!"

Crossing the low wall and seeing the two people walking on the path that turned from the official road to the village, Xia Bo suddenly jumped up and shouted quickly.

The two people who came over, one of them, Bai Xianqian, also recognized him, he was Xia Youcai, the second uncle of Xia and others, with two slight manes on his lips, a very handsome uncle. For this reason, when Bai Xianxian had a spring dream, he also dreamed that he had become Xia Xiao's second aunt. She didn't recognize the other one, although she was also wearing short brown and straw sandals, holding her trouser legs, and dressed like a countryman, but she knew twenty or thirty families in the village, and she had never seen this person.

This person walked, sometimes looking back left and right, but his shoulders did not move, Bai Xianxian remembered what the storyteller said, looking at things like this is called eagle looking at wolves, treacherous male elephants, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "It's better to compare it than to go, or Second Uncle Xia!" ”

Thinking of her half-grown husband He Gai, who was the same age as herself, the little girl couldn't help but sigh softly again. Gas.

Two pests, in fact, three against six, the new one, guess who he is
