Zhu Di's army left Jinan City and rushed to Yucheng, Shandong on this day.

This city is in the middle of Dezhou and Jinan, and it has long been under the control of Zhu Di. His main army retreated, there was no need to worry about Ping An and Chen Hui waving their troops to attack, Ping An and Chen Hui and the other garrison generals were not inferior to him in terms of strength, but there were generals but no commanders, and it was difficult for all the troops to be the same.

As for Sheng Yong and Tiepin in Jinan City, they may follow his ass all the way to receive the city, which is called "recovery", maybe they will talk about the siege of the city for three months, how the Yan army is anxious and difficult, just paper articles, and his mouth grows on others, and he can't help it.

"Yucheng garrison sheep, retreat with this king, there is no need to stay here." , Zhu Di stood at the gate of the city, gave an order to the generals of the defenders of Yucheng, looked back again, and sighed: "Those remnants of the defeated generals, if the king goes away, the city gate will not dare to open, I am afraid that Wen Xuan will not be able to catch up for a while." ”

Zhu Gaoxu also has a good impression of Xia Xun, not only because Xia Xun rescued him from Jinling, but also because Xia Xun repeatedly used clever plans after that, and made a lot of contributions to the great cause of his father and son, in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, Xia Xun's merits and skills are not inferior to Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu's uncles who led the troops to fight head-on. When he gets out, he will come to meet his father. ”

Zhu Di nodded, lifted the reins of the horse and said: "Go, advance to the city" to rest for an hour, and then the army continued to hurry. Yucheng was already under the control of Zhu Di, and at this moment the city was crowded with soldiers, and most of the people closed their doors, for fear of causing trouble. Fortunately, Zhu Di was a minister who violated the king, and he did not take the lead morally, "he was scolded by many Confucian scholars and scribes, and in order to win the hearts of the people, he strictly constrained military discipline, lest he be scolded by the people again, so although there are many troops, they have nothing to do with each other."

Zhu Di rode his horse into the city, and was looking for a place to rest and have lunch, when a person suddenly appeared from the pedestrians on the side of the road and grabbed the reins of his horse. The guards around King Yan were also careless, but they didn't expect that there were soldiers and horses of King Yan all over the street, and these ordinary people were afraid and timid.

They only said that this man was an assassin, and they were so frightened that their souls were shocked, and when they drew their sabers and surrounded them, they were already in a cold sweat. Zhu Di was startled, and he also clenched his waist knife suddenly, but the man's next move "stopped Zhu Di and his guards' movements."

I saw that as soon as this man grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped the horse from advancing, he immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Linyi Zhusheng Ji Gang, I am willing to follow His Royal Highness, Qingjun side, punish adulterers, saddle before and after the horse, serve the king, and ask His Highness to accept it!" The guards were originally raising their swords and guns at the same time, and they were about to poke a dozen transparent holes in this person's body, but when they heard this, they stopped. When Zhu Di heard this, he was a little stunned, looked at the burly Shandong Confucian who was kneeling, and said in surprise: "...... you, you want to vote for this king?" No wonder Zhu Di was surprised, he was difficult to come to Jingjing, and the most ruthless thing he scolded was the scholar, they didn't care what Zhu Yunfen did to his uncles, just say that it was the king, you are a minister, the king wants the minister to die, you have to die if you don't deserve to die, you offend the king with a minister, it is a heinous crime, it is a great crime, this double standard makes Zhu Di depressed.

Since he started his army, most of the military generals who have taken the initiative to join him have surrendered, and most of the civilian officials have surrendered when they come to the city. A famous scholar took the initiative to take refuge when his future was uncertain, and there was only one Yang Xu before, and Ji Gang was the second, which is too rare for Zhu Di, who urgently needs to be recognized by readers who master the fundamentals of the world and master the mouthpiece language.

Zhu Di's employment has always been to be attached, and he must be used only when he is measured, and he is entrusted with important tasks. But Ji Gang was surprisingly bubbling, and he came to join him as a famous scholar, but there were too few of them before, so that Zhu Di, who had just gone through the iron sales fraud, was happy and worried for a while, suffering from gains and losses, and was afraid that he was a spy who came to the industry.

Therefore, after getting Ji Gang's confirmation and making a generous statement again, Zhu Di was not gullible, but said: "Since you said that you have practiced martial arts since childhood, riding and shooting, and in this king's army, there is the most lack of brave men now, are you willing to be a pawn of this king and lead the horse to fall into the stirrups for this king?" Ji Gang was stunned when he heard it, his character is unwilling to be lonely, but if he follows the right path, it is difficult for him to develop as a student who was expelled from the school, so he made up his mind to gamble in the troubled times, and bet on the future of his life on King Yan.

But Ji Gang has a gloomy personality, and the things he recognized are also very decisive, and after feeling slightly disappointed, he immediately realized that he could be by King Yan's side, this is a rare opportunity, as long as he really has the ability, there will be a day when he will be promoted and reused, so he readily agreed and kowtowed.

Zhu Di smiled slightly, this person dared to risk death, dared to abandon the court and defect to himself, his vision and courage were extraordinary, if it was proved that he was indeed not a spy, it would be of great use. It's just this thought, at the moment, he naturally won't say anything to Ji Gang, so he said lightly: "In this case, from this moment on, you are a member of this king's army, let's go!" ”

"Yes!"

Ji Gang agreed, lifted the robe and tucked it into the belt, rolled up his sleeves and made a short dress, and took the reins of the horse, and he really happily started to be a groom without any shame or anger..................

Jinan City.

A few days after King Yan led his army away, the people who had fled from the city rushed back in droves.

In order to defend the city, their houses and courtyards have been demolished to the ground, and when they see the ruin-like former residence, they can't help crying: some people have returned to their homes, and their homes are surrounded by walls, and they can't help but cry sadly; and those who were looking for their relatives who were left behind to defend the city under the city, and received only news of their deaths, and not even their bones were left, and they fell to the ground and wept on the spot; Others found their surviving relatives, even if he had become a cripple with missing arms and legs, they couldn't help but hug each other and cry with joy.

Crying with joy and sorrow, there was a cry in the city of Jinan.

But in any case, the disaster has finally passed.

The Ping'an of the garrison of Shanjiaqiao was the first to lead the troops into Jinan City, here, he also brought a large number of military supplies, grain, grass, wine and food, as soon as he entered the city to see those crazy skeleton soldiers, Ping An hurriedly released dozens of truckloads of grain and rice on the spot, and then went to see Sheng Yong and iron sales. Soon, Chen Hui, who also monitored the movements of the Yan army most closely, also got the news and immediately led the army to meet them.

The Tianxin Pavilion of Daming Lake is connected on both sides of the curved bridge, and there are wine banquets.

Sheng Yong, Tiepin, Gao Yong and others were beaming, Yan King Zhu Di returned, Jinan City was finally defended, and everyone was celebrating with a crown. Among the people present, only Lord Cao was depressed because of the tragic death of his only son.

"The holy decree has arrived in ......", when the officials were jubilant, Zhu Yun's holy decree was also sent to Jinan by an expedited fast horse of 800 miles. Since Li Jinglong returned to Beijing, when he reported the defeat of the army, the imperial court stepped up the investigation of the situation in Shandong, as soon as there was news here, it was immediately submitted to the Beijing division with the military post express, and it was only a few days to go back and forth, and Zhu Yunfen was ecstatic to hear the news of King Yan's withdrawal.

Several adults who were disgraced because of Li Jinglong's affairs also breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't think that people in the same camp are monolithic, how about Xiao He? How is Zhang Liang? In those novels that are simply portrayed, it seems to give people a taste of unconvincing and loving civil officials and military generals, but how can people's hearts be so simple, Liu Bang founded the country, these two were able to be crowned marquis, and the generals were like a fried pot, fiercely opposed, forcing Liu Bang to come out again and again to explain and even suppress.

Besides, when we were founding the country and awarding medals, the generals who were high and who were low, and who had made great achievements, had their own plans. Fang Huang and the others climbed to the sky in one step and climbed onto everyone's heads, and many people were not convinced. The imperial court suffered such a big defeat, whether it was the military generals of Xun Qi or the civil officials of the court, there were not a few fierce accusations against them, and now because King Yan withdrew and Jinan was protected, their political crisis was solved.

So, with their encouragement, the holy decree of Emperor Jianwen was promulgated in Jinan in the shortest possible time.

The imperial court really needs a big victory to boost the morale of the army.

Regardless of whether King Yan took the initiative to withdraw his troops or was driven out of Shandong, whether it was a great victory if he kept Jinan City, it was a great victory.

The officials hurriedly put down their wine glasses, stepped forward to receive the decree in their whole clothes, and sent the edict to the eunuch to unfold the holy decree and preach loudly: ""Governor Sheng Yong, the political iron sales and Jinan soldiers and civilians have been alone for more than three months, the soldiers have used their lives, and the top and bottom have worked together to ............, and immediately, the governor Sheng Yong was named the general of Pingyan, awarded the marquis of the city, the commander-in-chief rebelled against the army, and the iron sales participated in the politics and was promoted to the political envoy of Shandong, and the rank of secretary of the military department was added, and the military machine was ......"

"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live, long live ......", ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Jinan City is in a mess now, even if Ziqi finds it, if he wants to find us, he is looking for a needle in a haystack, and he wants to get in touch with her quickly, the only place we can go is Qingzhou. If Ziqi comes to the city to look for us and can't find our whereabouts, she will definitely think that once you go out of the city, the only place to go is Qingzhou, and we will wait for her there. "Hmmm! Xianggong, Sister Ziqi was ............ at the time You won't enter Jinan City just to find me, right? After three months of famine, Jinan is like a hell on earth, and I am worried about ......"

"Don't worry, Ziqi's family has a relationship between black and white, and this girl is not a person who would rather starve to death than put her tall skills without using them, if she is really in the city, she will definitely not starve to death due to lack of food."

"Hmmm! Then we should go in the direction of Zhangqiu, how to get to Licheng? ”

"It's just a small turn, there is an information station I set up in Licheng, I have to find out how the things arranged before entering the city are going, even if I can't get out of the Yan King's side to see him, I have to bring a message to the past."

Xie Yuli secretly glanced at Xia Xun, blushed, and said again: "Hmm! Well...... Xianggong ......"

"Huh?"

Xie Yuli hurriedly shook his head again: "No............ Nothing......", "Hmm! "What are you? Xia Xun smiled a little badly: "Well, yes, what else do you say?" Xie Yuli said: "Hmm............ Well...... yes......",
