In May of the second year of Jianwen, King Yan led an army of 200,000 to besiege Jinan City.

Li Jinglong was dressed in armor and stood on top of the city. With a resolute face and an awe-inspiring momentum, if it weren't for the details of the coach and the fact that he followed him all the way from Texas to Jinan, the defenders in the city would think that the general in front of him would defend the city to the death and wash away the shame of fleeing without a fight.

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always bitter.

For Li Jinglong, Zhu Di is an extremely terrible enemy, and he will wake up in fear when he sleeps and dreams.

The army of 500,000 was gone, and the army of 600,000 was defeated.

Beiping, Zhengcun Dam, Baigou River, think about it are tears.

Fight with Zhu Di again? Li Jinglong really didn't have that courage. More than 100,000 people under his command were all defeated, running out of Hebei, with no fighting spirit, and barely going to battle was just a target for the Yan army.

Don't resist, run again?

Although Li Jinglong is a military idiot, he has a lot of political-struggle-experience. His keen intuition told him that with the precedent of Texas, if he lost Jinan with one arrow, he would escape by luck, and what was waiting for him would definitely not be a good end.

With a series of moves in Texas, the reputation of King Yan's kindness has spread. On the other hand, as the commander of the imperial army, Li Jinglong became a stepping stone for Zhu Di to pursue personal honor.

The brighter the aura on King Yan's body, the more infamy Li Jinglong will bear, and Emperor Jianwen, who handed over the handsome seal to Li Jinglong, will not be able to stand alone.

It is polite to know people clearly, and the word faint is not new. was scolded inexplicably, Emperor Jianwen, who has always paid attention to fame, would easily let go of Li Jinglong? Obviously impossible.

Looking at the army outside the city, Li Jinglong's expression became more and more serious.

The emperor of Nanjing was staring at him, and there were not a few people who did not like him in the court, and he would definitely not let go of any opportunity to pull him off the horse. What's more, countless pairs of eyes in Jinan City also followed him, and everyone wanted to know what kind of decision this coach, who was famous for his inconsistency and long-distance running, would make.

Li Jinglong gritted his teeth, "Get out of the city and meet the enemy!" ”

This order was beyond everyone's expectations.

I'm afraid that Zhu Di outside the city didn't expect that Li Jinglong would be so "brave". 600,000 can't beat the 200,000 under his command, but more than 100,000 remnants of the army are defeated, dare to shake the 200,000 Yan army?

Brain, right?

In the city, the officers and men of the Southern Army were confused by Li Jinglong's sudden outbreak of "bravery" and "fearless spirit".

Out of the city to meet the enemy? Are you kidding!

The grain and ordnance were all lost in Dezhou, and in these days in Jinan, the grain and grass transported by Tie Xuan from Shandong to participate in politics would not starve to death to the three armies.

The defeat, the dissatisfaction with the treatment, and the resentment of the boss are all gathered together, not to mention going out of the city and the Yan army rushing to kill, just defending the city, many southern troops are resentful.

Can't blame them for not having a sense of collective honor, it is difficult to come from the beginning of the Yan Wang, there are countless battles of all sizes, and the imperial army is happily better than one?

The battle of Baigou River has this opportunity, how can there be an incompetent commander who likes to command chaotically, coupled with the sudden gale, the good situation collapsed in an instant, and the king of Yan who laughed to the bottom of the line.

Like Li Jinglong, the soldiers of the Southern Army couldn't help but shudder when they mentioned Zhu Di.

Can the most powerful vassal king in Northern Xinjiang be easily defeated?

Many Yugoslav soldiers drew a question mark in their hearts, and the answers to the questions made them even more pessimistic.

Compared with the dejected soldiers, there are also a small number of people who are glad that Li Jinglong is willing to go out of the city to meet the enemy. For example, Tie Xuan, a political officer in Shandong, who supervised the transportation of grain and grass for the army, and Sheng Yong, a general under Li Jinglong.

Tie Xuan specially prepared Zhuangxing wine for Li Jinglong, and took the people of Jinan City to practice for the army.

"Always drink this cup and win!"

Li Jinglong took the wine glass, his mouth was impassioned and fierce, and only he knew what idea he was playing in his heart.

The Yan army's sentry cavalry returned, and the Jinan defenders went out of the city to line up, waving Li Jinglong's handsome banner.

Meng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, it was really Li Jinglong's move that was too unexpected.

Don't run, don't stick to the city, but fight-for-tat. Is this Li Jinglong's choice?

"Command, is there any fraud in it?"

Thinking of Tie Xuan in the city, Meng immediately raised his 120,000 points of vigilance.

Shen Xuan shook his head, not only did Zhu Di despise Li Jinglong, but none of the generals of the Yan Army looked down on him. didn't say it, but it was clear in his expression that Li Jiujiang didn't have this brain.

"But ......"

"No problem." Shen Xuan pulled up the reins of the horse, "The prince has given the order to charge head-on." ”

Meng was speechless, in the eyes of King Yan and Shen Xuan, Li Jinglong was so incompetent that he didn't even need to attack on the flanks, and rushed directly from the front.

A trumpet sounded in the Yan army, which was a signal for the cavalry to go into battle.

The southern army, which had already fought with the Yan army, was suddenly in chaos.

Successive defeats and tragic battlefields were enough for them to firmly remember the horror of the iron cavalry under Zhu Di.

Murderous cavalrymen without blinking, fierce foot soldiers, you fight to the death, do you want to do it again?

There was fear in his heart, his movements became sluggish, the military formation could not be lined up in time, and the Yan cavalry had already rushed forward with long knives. The blades flashed with cold light, the horses' hooves were like thunder, and thousands of cavalry swept in like a rushing flood.

Fear, horror, astonishment.

All kinds of emotions were boiling in the hearts of the Yugoslav army, that is, they did not have the fighting spirit and courage to fight to the death.

In an instant, the cavalry of the Yan army rushed into the battle formation, Shen Xuan held the long knife horizontally, and the blood of the soldiers of the Southern Army stained every inch of land that the horse's hooves had trodden.

Meng followed closely behind Shen Xuan, and he could suppress the formation, but he knew that he had to charge.

Compared to Shen Xuan, killing one person in one step, he can still do it to protect himself. Besides, following the killing god in front of him, there will be no blind Southern Army who wants to make war merits from him.

Seeing Shen Xuan rushing over, the southern army retreated one after another, and when they encountered this killing god, if they wanted to survive, they had to hide away.

In this case, the tighter you follow and the faster you rush, the safer it is.

Fox fake tiger might, fishing in troubled waters?

Meng Tongzhi pouted, he was a fox, what's the matter.

Raise your sword, cut down a Confederate soldier, and continue to rush forward!

With just one charge, the more than 100,000 Southern troops were scattered.

King Yan looked at the fighters, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan and others were all sent out, and Wu Jie also led a cavalry to charge into battle, killing heartily.

Qiu Fu, who was left behind, asked for battle several times, but was rejected by King Yan. There will be one or two people around any successful person, and Zhu Di is more successful than Zhu Yunwen because he saw the essence of these people in advance, and he will never let them out easily unless necessary.

After the battle of Baigou River, Qiu Fu became the object to be observed in Zhu Di's eyes, and his military career was bound to not be so smooth. But compared to He Shou, who is older and has a smaller official position, there is nothing to complain about.

Dare to complain about Zhu Di, the big guy? Don't think about promotions and salary increases, it's a matter of seconds to lose your job.

On the battlefield, the speed of the defeat of the Southern Army was simply miserable.

Tie Xuan, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was dumbfounded. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that an army of more than 100,000 people would be so vulnerable.

And then there's something even more unbelievable.

Li Jinglong rushed out of the battlefield alone, abandoned the city and fled again.

The soldiers who saw it were in an uproar, and shouted repeatedly: "The commander has run away again!" ”

"That bastard king X egg ran away again?!"

Tie Xuan's eyes fell to the ground, Tie Shen, who has been in charge of logistics, really doesn't know Li Jinglong's long-distance running ability. Watching him ride away in the dust, the whole person was petrified.

Just ran away?

Leave behind the hundreds of thousands of troops who are fighting, and run away without looking back?

Do you want to be embarrassed?!

Is there a lower limit?!

On the battlefield, the impact of the commander's escape was devastating, and the Southern Army completely lost its fighting spirit. You can't do it twice, you can't do it again. How many times have the brothers been pitted? Keep playing with your life? That's a fool!

Thousands of Southern troops surrendered one after another in the formation. has been pitted so many times, and if you endure it, you will become a turtle, and you can't bear it, so you can change jobs!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tie Xuan at the head of the city immediately gathered the remaining defenders in the city and ordered the city gate to be opened to help his comrades on the battlefield and rescue them back to the city.

Open the gates?

The defender of the city gave his feet and almost sat on the ground.

At this time, the city gate was opened, and the Yan army took advantage of the situation to rush in, what should I do?

Tie Xuan knew that this move was risky, but he could let the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city be slaughtered by the Yan army, which was even more dangerous!

Without the army outside the city, the city of Jinan is in danger and is destined to be undefended!

Tie Hyun insisted that the general would not be able to disobey the order and could only open the city gates.

In order to save people, Tie Xuan spent his blood and pulled out the only remaining war horses in the city. Most of the southern troops who went out of the city were rescued by Tie Xuan, and they always remembered Tie Xuan's grace to participate in politics, and no one frowned even if they knew that they were sent to death.

On the battlefield, the Yan army occupied an overwhelming advantage, the southern army was about to be surrounded, and there was only a dead end if it did not surrender.

Under the Chinese army, King Yan stroked his beard and smiled, without the defenders, Jinan was at his fingertips.

When the encirclement of the Yan army was about to close, a sudden change occurred.

A cavalry rushing out of the city found a breakthrough and tore a hole in the periphery of the Yan army, opening a bloody way for the southern army that was unwilling to surrender. The Yan army was caught off guard and disorganized, and the southern army in the formation took advantage of the chaos to break through. It was Sheng Yong who took the lead in the killing.

The gap that had been torn apart could not be closed, and the Yan army could only watch as more and more southern troops rushed out of the encirclement and fled into the city.

Zheng Heng was ordered to go to block the attack, but he ran into the rain of arrows flying from the city head-on and had to retreat.

What is frightening is that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, was almost hit by a stray arrow, but fortunately, Meng Tongzhi, the defender of Yanshan, blocked the arrow and saved Zhu Gaoxu's life.

Looking at Meng Tongzhi, who was hit by an arrow in his left arm, Zhu Gaoxu was very moved.

Meng could only smile bitterly, who knew that Lu Dao would be so coincidental, but he didn't hold the reins, and he was hit by an arrow in vain. Fortunately, there is armor protection, and the arrow should not be pierced deeply. If you are like Shen Xuan, eighty percent will fall off the horse directly and be trampled into meat by the rebels.

"Meng Tongzhi comes with Gu!"

Zhu Gaoxu was ruthless, and the small universe suddenly exploded, and his combat power soared instantly.

A spear goes out to sea like a silver dragon, and no one can stop it.

Not far away, Shen Xuan saw the scene of Meng being injured, and the killing intent was permeated all over his body, as if he was dyed with a layer of blood. Not only the Southern Army, but even the Yan Army wanted to stay away from him, it was too scary.

The raiding reinforcements and the rain of arrows at the head of the city opened a way for the trapped Southern Army to survive.

King Yan began to mobilize his army, withdrew the siege, and turned to the siege, Tie Xuan decisively ordered the city gate to be closed and the drawbridge outside the city to be pulled. For the safety of the city, the southern army that remained outside the city could only find another way to survive, and he was really powerless.

The Yan army tried to attack the city, but did not achieve any results.

Zhu Di withdrew the siege team, first concentrated on eliminating the southern army outside the city, and then attacked the city with his hands free.

As a wounded man and a great hero who blocked arrows for the king of Gaoyang County, Meng withdrew from the battlefield and immediately had a doctor to treat him.

As he had thought, the wound on his left arm was not deep, and he had cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and wrapped it with a strip of clean cloth, which did not hinder his movement at all. This time, it was Dr. Zhao who accompanied the army, and when he saw Meng getting up and preparing to leave, he pulled him back again, took out a cloth towel, and directly hung Meng's arm.

"The injury is serious, and it is not suitable to go to the battlefield again in the near future."

Meng glared, Shen Xuan's serious wound was still alive and well to kill the enemy. He's just scratching a little bit of skin, isn't it?

"Meng Tongzhi thinks that you are comparable to Commander Shen?"

...... "Well, there's no comparison."

He is a normal person, Shen Xuan...... It can no longer be measured in the ordinary sense.

In the evening, the Yan army collected its troops and returned to the camp. King Yan learned of Meng's heroic deeds and specially sent Zheng He to offer condolences.

"Tongzhi was so badly injured." Seeing Meng Hanging's arm, Zheng He sighed, his face was worried, "Our family hurts when it looks good." ”

Zheng He said exaggeratedly, but the expression on his face was full of sincerity.

"The prince is loving, and he has only done what he has done, so it is really ......"

Feeling the care of King Yan, Meng choked up, and said in his choked throat that his gratitude to His Royal Highness King Yan was like a surging river. If he had the chance, he would still have made the same choice.

Zheng He's eyes were red, obviously moved by Meng Tongzhi's professionalism, wiped his tears, and said: "A man like Meng Tongzhi should be a model for my generation, and our family must take Meng Tongzhi as an example and do his best for the great cause of the prince." ”

Seen as a role model by the eunuchs?

The corners of Meng Shilang's mouth twitched, it was better not to do it, the pressure was too great.

After Zheng He left, Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the strip of cloth on his arm, and rolled his eyes, so let's keep it. A seriously wounded person should have the appearance of a seriously injured person.

Dinner was eaten in the tent, and Meng had a great appetite, and he ate five steamed buns and a big bowl of vegetables in a row.

After eating and drinking, he leaned on the collapse and yawned after a simple wash.

Walking past the soldiers patrolling the camp outside the tent, Meng fell asleep in a daze, as if a feather brushed his cheeks in a dream, and he used his hand to pluck it, but his wrist was buckled.

Sleepy, half-open eyes, full of darkness, only vaguely discernible a familiar outline.

"Commanding ......" was buckled at the waist, and the temperature of the palm made Meng's drowsiness recede by more than half, "Ziyu? ”

"Yes."

A deep voice tapping slowly against the eardrums.

The lips were choked.

Meng closed his eyes, stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around Shen Xuan's shoulders, and his consciousness fell into a drowsy again.

When I woke up the next day, Shen Xuan was gone, and touching my lips shouldn't be a dream.

Walking out of the tent, two personal soldiers stood outside the tent, and one of them informed Meng that Commander Shen had gone to battle with the prince, and as a seriously wounded, Meng Tongzhi was left in the camp.

"Commander Shen said that if Tongzhi has the energy, he can go to the transfer officer to check the military rations escorted."

Is this being transferred to the logistics department again?

pulled the corners of his mouth, swallowed two steamed buns, and was about to go to the logistics department to order, when the soldiers said: "Last night, the king of Gaoyang County came to visit Tongzhi. Tongzhi has already slept, and it is Commander Shen who thanked the king of the county on behalf of Tongzhi. ”

"Oh." Meng nodded, "Anything else?" ”

"Dr. Zhao also came and told Tongzhi to remember to take medicine."

Meng replied vaguely, his injuries were not serious at all, and he was no longer on the battlefield, so he didn't need to take medicine at all. Besides, Dr. Zhao's medicine is not ordinary bitterness, and it is better not to eat it or not to eat it.

On the same day, Meng went to the logistics department to report according to Shen Xuan's order, and was warmly welcomed by many peers below the self-promotion officer.

If you can't move your hands, you can simply move your mouth, and the efficiency of the logistics department has been greatly improved at once.

The Yan army returned again in vain under the city of Jinan, and when Mingjin withdrew his troops, the faces of the soldiers did not have much chagrin. They all believed that the people in the city were nothing more than a stubborn army, with food, guns, and men, and sooner or later the city would be breached and the enemy would not surrender.

Shen Xuan returned to the tent, took off his helmet, and was unarming when Meng walked in with a bowl of noodle soup.

This bowl of noodles is a small stove opened by Huotoujun for Meng Tongzhi, the soup does not use many spices, the original broth, sprinkled with some minced garlic, the taste is quite good.

Shen Xuan stood in the tent, holding the long knife he had untied, his eyes fell on Meng, and he didn't say a word.

The curtain was lowered, Meng looked at Commander Shen who had returned from the battle with a dusty face, and then looked at himself who was refreshed and holding a big bowl in his hand, and felt a little weak.

"It's hard to command a battle." Meng piled up a smile, "This is specially prepared for you, eat it while it's hot, it tastes quite good." ”

Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes, put down the long knife, took the big bowl in Meng's hand, and picked up the noodles with chopsticks is a big mouthful.

Meng was a little dumbfounded.

Such a heroic appearance is the first time I have seen it in Commander Shen.

Seeing that the big bowl was about to bottom, Meng Tongzhi really didn't dare to say that he would leave a little for him, so he could only watch Shen Xuan finish eating the noodles, and slowly drank the noodle soup cleanly, with a posture that is called a noble, and a gesture that is called an elegance.

Meng Shishilang touched his stomach and waited to nibble on steamed buns with the soldiers.

Putting down the bowl, Shen Xuan's expression became extraordinarily soft, and he stretched out his hand to Meng and pulled him into his arms, "I understand Twelve Lang's intentions. When I get down to Shandong and return to Beiping, I will prepare another generous gift and pay a visit. ”

His mind? Prepare a generous gift to visit? Meng frowned and didn't say anything.

"What is the zodiac sign of the twelve langs, and what is the date of birth?" Shen Xuan avoided Meng's injured arm and pressed his forehead against the top of his hair.

Ask him about his zodiac and birthday? Meng raised his head, did he still ask about the time of his birth?

Curling the corners of his mouth, Shen Xuan was very calm, "Twelve Lang knows? Very good. ”

Meng Shishilang: Who is the ancients in the ......?

nanking

The news of King Yan's march into Shandong reached the ears of Emperor Jianwen, along with Li Jinglong's feat of breaking the escape record twice in a row.

Abandon Texas first, and then throw Jinan.

Looking at the battle report delivered by the General Political Envoy, Emperor Jianwen didn't know what kind of expression to make.

Wrath? Outraged? Kill it quickly? Even if Li Jinglong is chopped into meat sauce, the fact that it is made cannot be changed.

Dezhou has fallen into the hands of Zhu Di, Jinan is struggling to support tens of thousands of defeated troops, and no one doubts that the Yan army will soon break the city, including Emperor Jianwen.

If you lose your territory, you can still negotiate, but what makes Zhu Yunwen even more unacceptable is that the reputation of King Yan's benevolence has spread from Texas to Nanjing.

King Yan loved the people, couldn't bear the hunger of the people, and ordered the warehouse to be opened and grained.

King Yan was humble and benevolent, not worshiped by the elders, and professed guilt, and fell to the ground for a long time.

When the Yan army left Texas, the people wept and stayed in tears......

The situation is getting worse and worse, and now there are rumors that the king of Yan fought against Li Jinglong's 600,000 army in the Baigou River, and had the help of heaven.

There are also people who claim that there must be colorful auspicious clouds everywhere in the King of Yan, and there is no lie in what he sees with his own eyes.

is even more unreliable, saying that King Yan had to be too before raising his troops - Emperor Zugao entrusted a dream, saying that there were traitors in the court, making it difficult for the vassal king to raise troops to protect the country's peace.

Colorful auspicious clouds, too-Zutuo dream?

Emperor Jianwen flipped the table in anger and had a further understanding of King Yan's shamelessness.

I want to set up a memorial arch after doing XX, and I succeeded, is there any such annoyance?!

Once upon a time, Emperor Jianwen also wanted to do this, but unfortunately XX was not done, and the archway was also pushed down, it was King Yan who did it, but it was his own people who waved the flag and shouted, and it was useless for Emperor Jianwen to vomit blood.

"Your Majesty." Wang Jinghong bowed down and walked into the warm pavilion, and reported the latest news to Emperor Jianwen that Cao Guogong had returned to Nanjing safely.

Wang Jinghong also felt very incredible, according to the report of the people below, Cao Guogong ran back along the waterway in the boat given by Emperor Jianwen, except for his haggard appearance, his clothes were messy, and he was unharmed.

Li Jinglong created a miracle.

During the Jing Dynasty, even the Yan King, who was protected by the Golden Bell Jar, was inevitably injured and scratched a little skin. Li Jinglong, who was defeated one after another, didn't leave even a single scar, this is not a miracle, what else can be called a miracle?

In the army of millions, the whole body retreated, such a miracle is not something that ordinary people can create.

Emperor Jianwen no longer had the strength to get angry again. So far, I can only play another game to cover my ears and steal the bell, otherwise, the commander ordered by the emperor to leave the army and run back to the capital, and the running tool is still a boat given by the emperor, what is going on?

Li Jinglong can be shameless, but Emperor Jianwen still wants to see people.

Thinking of the Shandong political participation and others who desperately guarded Jinan in the war report, Emperor Jianwen sighed, he also took his salary, why is the difference so big!

"Proposed purpose: Tie Xuan was promoted to participate in politics as the political envoy of Shandong, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guogong, was ordered to return to Beijing. Yi Shengyong is a general, with a handsome seal. Defend Jinan with Tie Xuan. ”

In order to cover up the scandal of Li Jinglong's abandonment of the city and his escape, Emperor Jianwen had to grit his teeth and make this will. In this way, Li Jinglong's return to Beijing was to act on orders, and the responsibility of guarding Shandong naturally fell on the shoulders of Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong.

Subsequently, Emperor Jianwen ordered Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and the Governor of Ping'an to prepare to send troops, and once the city of Jinan was broken, he immediately led his troops into Shandong.

Whether it is King Yan or Emperor Jianwen, they have no doubts about the breaking of Jinan, and the difference is only in the morning and evening of time. The tens of thousands of southern troops in the city, along with Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong and others, have been regarded as outcasts.

The next development of the battle situation was beyond everyone's expectations, and a bunch of abandoned sons defended Jinan City actually blocked the pace of the Yan army's attack.

A scholar, a general of a defeated army, led tens of thousands of remnants to defend the city!

After three months of fighting, the Yan army failed to set foot in Jinan City.

The face of the king of Yan under the city was gloomy, and after another attack was repulsed, he ordered the troops to be collected, the king's tent was raised, and the generals were summoned to discuss countermeasures.

Zhu Di has lost patience, he decided to dig an embankment to block the stream and flood Jinan!

To hell with any kindness and generosity!

Hearing this, Meng's heart, who was standing behind Shen Xuan, jumped, and suddenly remembered that before hanging the god card, Tie Xuan also did one thing, using King Yan's strategy of flooding Jinan as bait, sending people to surrender, and almost ended the entire Jingjing disaster ahead of schedule.

Thinking of this, Meng's face suddenly changed.
