The battle in the city of Peiping lasted three days.

Eight of the nine gates were quickly routed and the defenders either surrendered or withdrew from the city. The defenders of Duxi Zhimen behaved extremely bravely, and the Yan army could not attack for a long time. The number of dead and wounded here is more than the other eight gates combined.

King Yan was furious, withdrew He Shou, who led his troops to attack this gate, and personally commanded the battle.

He Shou, who was sprayed with a spittle, didn't dare to say anything, and the command was withdrawn, so he simply picked up the long knife, acted as a foot pawn, and launched a charge with the soldiers under his command.

can't take Xizhimen, and he has no face to see.

For a time, the arrows in front of Xizhi Gate flew like rain, and the swords were like clusters. Soldiers on both sides kept falling, but no one took a step back.

Once the killing begins, it can't end easily.

The Yan army knew that it had been three days, and only Xizhimen was left in the Nine Gates, and only by capturing this place could Beiping be truly controlled.

The defenders of the city gate also knew that once defeated, there was only a dead end waiting for them.

King Yan is reversed, and he is bound to sacrifice the flag with blood.

Waiting for reinforcements outside the city was an extravagant hope, Song Zhong's army had fallen into complete chaos, and the two thousand cavalry led by Xu Zhong under the command of Kaipingwei were like a sharp long knife, and they were fiercely plunged into Song Zhong's chaotic army. The army of 30,000 men collapsed in an instant, and the smoke and dust were filled with blood.

The defenders on the Xizhi Gate witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and it was not that no one thought about escaping, but how to escape and where to flee?

Beiping is the territory of King Yan, and no matter where he escapes, he will not escape death.

Then let's fight, die for the court's loyalty, and die a well-deserved death.

Peng Er, the commander of the capital who was ordered to guard the Xizhi Gate, did not escape from Beiping in the chaos, but gathered the remnants of the army and held the city gate.

When the offensive of the Yan army was further strengthened, and it was destined to wait for Song Zhong's reinforcements, Peng Er's face showed no fear at all, so he ordered his own soldiers to lead the horses, jumped up, held a spear, and shouted: "King Yan is a thief, we all eat the court and Lu, and we should be loyal to the country!" Kill the thief from me! Kill! ”

"Kill!"

The remnants of the defenders of Xizhimen, fighting with the most powerful force, launched a counter-charge against the Yan army.

There is no chance of victory, just to die.

Compared with Yu Yao who fled, compared to Song Zhong outside the city, Peng Er and the remnants of his army interpreted true bravery and loyalty.

Looking at the hundred remnants of the army from Xizhimen, King Yan raised his long knife, the man who had been fighting with the Tartars in the north for many years was the heaviest hero.

Before him was an enemy who wanted to put him to death.

is also an admirable man, a hero!

"Kill!"

The Yan army's foot soldiers parted like a tide, and the cavalry rushed out, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, charged forward, holding a long knife, and instantly joined Peng Shuang, who rushed towards him.

The blades collided and the spears were waved, this was the last battle in Beiping City, and it was also the most tragic one.

In the sky, the remnant sun is like blood, and under the city gate, blood flows like a river.

Peng Er finally fell, spear in hand, dead and blind.

The king of Gaoyang was about to cut off his head, but was stopped by the king of Yan.

"Commander Peng is a man, and he has a thick burial!"

Zhu Gaoxu put away the long knife, "Obey!" ”

The shouting and killing in the city stopped suddenly, and Song Zhong, who was outside the city, led Yu Yao and others, who escaped from the city gate, to gather part of the southern army and the border army, and hurriedly retreated to Juyong Pass. As for the Yanshan guards and other border troops, kill or surrender, let them go.

The main general took the lead in slipping away, and the soldiers naturally had no intention of fighting.

Yang Duo and the others took the opportunity to join forces with the cavalry brought by Xu Zhong and wiped out Song Zhong's subordinates who were trapped in the chaotic army.

So far, there are more than 30,000 people under the command of the Song Dudu, not to mention the loss, but also a great loss of vitality.

Many of the guards of Yanshan defected to the king of Yan, and the border army had no intention of fighting, and the number of people was counted afterwards, and the army that retreated to Juyong Pass with Song Zhong was less than 10,000. Fortunately, the defenders who withdrew from Beiping City were incorporated one after another, and the number barely reached 30,000.

Song Zhong ordered Yu Yao to lead 5,000 soldiers to defend Juyong Pass, and he led the rest of the army to retreat to Huailai, and at the same time sent fast horses to send a letter to the imperial court.

Knowing that Song Dudu only left 5,000 people to himself, Yu Yao understood that he and these 5,000 people would become outcasts and cannon fodder to delay time.

Yu Yao did not object, nor did she take a position against it.

Zhang Yu Xie Gui was killed, and King Yan took advantage of the situation to seize Beiping City, and he had to bear a lot of responsibility. If it weren't for his chest patting his chest and guaranteeing, Zhang Yu and Xie Gui might not have died so neatly. Afterwards, Yu Yao was also reflecting, how could her brain twitch at that time? You don't need to enter both of them to enter the Yanwang Mansion to verify your body, isn't it possible to enter one?

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yu and Xie Gui were all cut down by King Yan, and Zhang Xin rebelled with King Yan, the defenders outside the palace would not have been leaderless, let alone defeated so quickly. He would not be coerced by the chaotic army, and withdrew all the way from Beiping.

Thinking of this, Yu Yao sighed, the matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it. Since the Song Governor regarded him as an outcast, it was much better to die on the battlefield than to be questioned by the imperial court.

He died, at least to save his family from disaster.

In the city of Beiping, the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle were collected, countless torches were lit in the city, King Yan rode on a horse, his tiger eyes were majestic, and he said in a deep voice: "I am the Tai-Zugao Emperor, the son of the Empress Xiaoci Gao, and since the Zuo, I have only followed the law and kept the points, and Er Cao has seen it." Today, the son has no way, deceived and brutalized by the traitorous ministers, and has cut the five kings and Yu I, the emperor and the queen of heaven and the earth are all learned, and my righteousness is not shared with the treacherous and evil! Zuntai-Zugao Emperor Xun, from now on, the army will be difficult, sweep away the traitorous ministers, swing the Yunei, and clear the monarch's side! ”

coincided with the rising sun and the fog opening the blue sky, and King Yan was dressed in armor, majestic and majestic, which made people can't help but worship.

"We are willing to attach Ji Wei to help the prince to sweep the peace, sweep away the traitorous ministers, and help the community!"

"I'm willing to follow the prince!"

"Chitose Wangye!"

With the experience of propagating the theory of rebellion last time, whether it is Yan Wang or Zhang Yuzhu Neng and others, the business has become extremely proficient.

King Yan gave the ladder, and immediately someone cried and shouted to go up to help, among them, He Shou shouted the most.

The previous work was not done well, and the city gate could not be opened, which made the top boss very dissatisfied, this time he must perform well and perform well, so that he will have a future in the future.

When Xu Zhong entered the city, he happened to catch the opportunity to show his loyalty, and he was not ambiguous at all, so he immediately dismounted, tore his voice, and instantly overwhelmed him.

Speaking of voices, who are the men of the border army afraid of!

Meng knelt on the ground with the others, and the blood splashed on his face had dried up, cracked into lumps, and was very uncomfortable.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can't wipe it, this is evidence of participation in battle. I didn't see the few people around King Yan, the killing kung fu was excellent, the attack was too neat, the reaction was too fast, and there was no blood splashed, so I could only wipe it by myself, and the red-faced Guan Gong was one by one.

King Yan is still making impassioned speeches, mentioning many times that he is the son of Emperor Hongwu and Empress Ma, gilding himself with another layer of gold.

Emperor Jianwen was not born to the crown princess Chang, his mother was first a side concubine, and then a step-concubine. King Yan emphasized so much in order to make a stand in terms of identity, and compared to Zhu Yunwen, he should be orthodox.

No matter what others think, that's what King Yan said anyway.

Expressing skepticism? The consequences are weighed for themselves.

Meng made up his mind to follow Yan Wang Jingnan and fight for power, wealth and beauty all his life, even if Zhu Di said that he was born on Mars, what does it matter?

There must be many people who think the same way as him.

Everyone expressed their loyalty, saying that they must unite around King Yan, hold high the banner of Jingnan, take the road of rebellion wholeheartedly, and resolutely and unwaveringly. King Yan took advantage of the situation to encourage a few words, and promised to follow Lao Tzu to Jingjing, and the benefits are definitely a lot! The house ticket is not a problem, and the official position is not a problem!

The crowd chanted again, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

King Yan struck while the iron was hot, appointed Zhu Neng as the vanguard, and led 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to pursue Song Zhong.

At the same time, the Yanshan guards were sent to deliver a message to the brothers who lived nearby, Lao Tzu wanted to calm down the side of the Qing monarch and pull the flag to rebel, you can watch it.

Zhu Di's style of doing things is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, either he doesn't do it, once he does it, he will definitely go to the dark one way, and if there is no road ahead, he can also open a road. Axes and hammers are useless, directly shelled with shelling.

At this point, Emperor Jianwen is not as good as Yongle, and even less as Hongwu. When it is time to make a decision, there are always a lot of scruples, and it is destined to be unstable and become a loser.

The brothers waited until the news of King Yan's rebellion, and their reactions were mixed.

Some people are watching, some people are eager to try, the biggest reaction is the king of the valley, I don't know what this thinks, after receiving the news, without saying a word, pack up and go directly to Nanjing, or run at night.

Zhu Di is also quite puzzled, it is not safe to be a neighbor with him, and it is safe to run to Emperor Jianwen's territory?

It must have been a stone in the head.

However, now he doesn't have much time to think about how big a hole King Gu's head has been smashed, after the war, the residents in Beiping City need to be appeased, weapons and grain need to be requisitioned on a large scale, and a large number of strong people drawn from the countryside need to be resettled, all things are piled together, and the whole Yanwang Mansion is so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

Meng was also not idle, and was ordered to lead people to arrest the detailed work in the city, settle the surrendered enemy troops, and cooperate with the soldiers and horses in the city to deal with the environmental sanitation problem.

These "important jobs" were all won for him by the prince, and when he seconded his group of men from Shen Xuan's subordinates, Commander Shen actually agreed on the spot.

Meng was very depressed, now is the best opportunity to make a contribution, after the previous battle, he thought that he could be promoted to the next level, Qianhu didn't have it, and the deputy Qianhu was okay.

As a result, he was a prison guard in the morning and a prison guard in the afternoon, and he had to take time to do urban sanitation work.

What's going on?

squeezed his head into the top 500 in the world, and he was full of ambition, but people told him that other posts were full, so you should make do with a broom first.

Throw the broom first and then flip the table?

Meng Shishilang said that he could not do this. No matter what job he does, he gets the same salary, and he will have a future if he does a good job.

Self-comfort is very effective, and when I see Zhu Gaochi again, even if I want to beat him in my heart, I can still keep a smile on my face.

Zhu Gaochi grinded his teeth with sorghum cakes, and at the same time arranged work for the subordinates, his father wanted to go out in person, and most of the government affairs in Beiping City were pressed on his shoulders. Since these days, he has lost a lot of weight, although he can still put Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui together, he no longer needs to be supported when he walks, and he can occasionally run a few steps, and he can see Princess Yan and Princess Shi wiping their tears together.

The princess's surname is Zhang, and she gave birth to Zhu Gaochi's eldest son not long ago, who is also a big fat boy, who is the later Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di doesn't like the big fat son very much, but he likes the big fat grandson quite a lot. Zhu Zhanji is his eldest grandson, and in the Ming Dynasty, his position is more stable than his father.

Meng has not yet been honored to pay tribute to Ming Xuanzong in his infancy, this is a fierce man who can bake his uncle in a copper vat, although some studies believe that this is nonsense, but Zhu Gaoxu's death in his hands is an indisputable fact.

When the officials left, Zhu Gaochi signaled that Meng did not have to be restrained, "Wang An, serve tea to Meng Baihu." ”

Meng didn't dare to really relax, "The prince of the world is humbled, but there is something to order?" ”

"There is indeed something to ask Meng Baihu for help." Zhu Gaochi picked up a blue book from the table and handed it to Meng, "When I was in Nanjing, I found that Meng Baihu was proficient in arithmetic, and the palace was the time to employ people. ”

Meng didn't understand a little, this was going to give him a new job?

"My father has ordered the promotion of Meng Baihu to the commander of the Yanshan guard, leading the troops to defend the palace, and obeying the orphans."

Yanshan guard commander affairs?

Meng looked at Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi smiled innocently, picked up another sorghum cake, and continued to grind his teeth.

"Meng Yanshi, thank you quickly."

Seeing that Meng Fa was stunned, Wang An, who was waiting on the side, reminded him.

Meng instantly returned to his senses, "Humble thanks to the prince, thank the prince!" ”

Happiness comes too much, when you are hungry, you are suddenly hit by a meat bun, probably this is how it feels?

Meng Shishilang was promoted and made a fortune here, but people in Wanping County were panicked.

The county school teachers and instructors went to the county government to meet the order, but they have not returned, and the students and Confucian teachers in the county school also have their own thoughts.

Compared with denouncing King Yan for rebelling, most people are worried about their future.

There is still a month left in the autumn of Qiu, and King Yan rebelled, how can they take the exam? Even if Beiping Mansion holds the township test as usual, will the imperial court recognize the results?

King Yan is rebelling, and the people who come out of his territory, Emperor Jianwen will only reuse it when his brain is pumped.

Although Emperor Jianwen would often take a smoking, he shouldn't make such an obvious mistake.

In the corner of the county school, several students led by Du Qi and Liu Gen loudly denounced King Yan's rebellion as not keeping the vassal festival, and having no king and no father.

Compared with these people with blushing faces and thick and surging necks, most of the others are worried, and a very few will be like Meng Qinghai, their complexions remain unchanged and calm as before.

In this month's evaluation, he has been demoted to the third class, and it is impossible to participate in the township examination. Hearing that King Yan rebelled, he was surprised, and there was a faint excitement rising, this was an opportunity, a chance to turn him over.

Half an hour later, the teachings and instructors returned from the county government and also brought back the news of the Yanwang Mansion to recruit talents.

Wanping County Ling He Yin and the county officials have clearly supported King Yan, and if they respond to the recruitment of King Yan's mansion, they will also be marked as anti-thieves.

In Beiping, it is impossible to participate in the township test, and it is not a way out to enter the Yanwang Mansion to do things. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if King Yan can succeed...... From the dragon's skill, as long as these four words are thought, many people's hearts begin to beat fast.

But they are all watching and watching, they have a plan in their hearts, and they still need to be reserved on the surface.

Wait until someone takes the lead, and then everyone else will respond.

The result was unexpected, and Doucy turned out to be the first!

Wasn't this one still scolding King Yan for not being a king or a minister just now? Now I can't wait so much, I'm really a hypocrite!

The instructor and the instructor were a little surprised, but since there were students who set an example, Duch, who was still first-class, saved them a lot of trouble.

With those who take the lead, there are more people who stand up. Meng Qinghai got up halfway, and he was not conspicuous among the crowd.

Seeing Meng Qinghai, the county school teacher showed displeasure, and he didn't say much, but only told many students that they would be ready tomorrow, and go to the county government with him, and then recommend him to the palace by the big order.

Meng didn't know what his cousin's plan was, at the moment, he was burying himself in the first case, and his eyes were dizzy with exhaustion.

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

An army of 10,000 people, all the necessary food, grass, mules, horses, and weapons, all had to be arranged.

Zhu Neng served as the vanguard, and the troops had already set off, and King Yan would lead the rear army to follow. King Yan personally recruited, and the promotion officers of the various armies did not dare to be sloppy at all, and they couldn't run in and out, and they all used the speed of race walking.

Meng Shishilang also met an acquaintance, Liu Shishi, who commanded the envoy of Kaipingwei.

Since leaving the border fortress, it has been a few months, Liu Li came to Beiping with Xu Zhong, and the defenders left behind by the guard and Wutun guard will also be requisitioned one after another.

"What about the Tartars on the steppe?"

"The Tartars aren't at peace now." While counting the supplies, Liu Li said, "Last month, the Great Khan of the Remnant Yuan Erebak was killed by his subordinates, and Kun Timur, who inherited the throne of the Khan, could not serve the public, and there were rumors that he was not of the royal blood of the Remnant Yuan, and the grassland was in chaos, and the fight was lively. Otherwise, Commander Xu would not have left the guard. ”

The Tartars are also fighting?

Meng looked up at the sky, could it be that rebellion would also be contagious?

When King Yan's army set off, the fast horses sent by Song Zhong finally sent the news of King Yan's rebellion to Nanjing.

The imperial court was shocked.

Emperor Jianwen always thought that Zhu Di would not be willing to be a vassal king, but when Zhu Di really reversed, he was shocked but relieved. It's finally here, and I finally don't have to worry about sleeping.

But it turns out that Emperor Jianwen's tone was a little early, and even if King Yan rebelled, he would have to rebel very personally.

The fast horse that reported the news, he didn't send anyone to stop it, calculated the pace of the fast horse, and then sent out his fellow Daoyan brewing for many days, and it was written very clearly that there were traitors in the court, and the emperor was so bewitched by the traitors that his six relatives did not recognize him, which had endangered the society. As the uncle of the Son of Heaven, he respects the orders of Emperor Tai-Zu, commands the town soldiers, raises troops and is difficult, and the Qing monarch is on the side!

A few sentences were attached at the end, if Emperor Jianwen took the initiative to hand over the traitorous ministers, there would be room for negotiation in the matter. Otherwise, don't blame him for bullying his nephew!

This letter was made public to the court, and the hundred officials were shocked again, King Yan is really not an ordinary person, the thickness of this cheek, this means of strong words, ordinary people really can't learn it!

Emperor Jianwen was completely angry, this can't be tolerated, absolutely can't be tolerated! I have never heard of Papai giving people two slaps and then asking the victim to compensate the beater for material and moral losses.

But King Yan did just that, and he was righteous, so why should he ask for compensation? Because my hands hurt!

Is there such an unreasonableness? Have it?!

Emperor Jianwen was so angry that his liver fire rose, and a circle of bubbles appeared on his mouth.

He ordered to immediately mobilize a large army, prepare grain and grass, and conquer King Yan.

At this time, the Yan army had broken through the Juyong Pass, and the soldiers were coming, and the defeated army of Song Zhong in the city was nearly 35,000 people.

In order to regain the fighting spirit of his army, Song Zhong told a lie, a very unclever lie.

He summoned his officers and told them to tell the soldiers, "You and other family members have been harmed by the King of Yan, and the corpses are piled up on the road, and the Yan army is attacking, it is time to avenge your family!" ”

As soon as the rumors came out, the crowd was excited.

A family member was killed? It's worth it, revenge! Revenge must be taken! Fight to the death!

Song Zhongzheng was happy, but he didn't want to have a fine work sent into the city by King Yan, and the news of the city came out, and King Yan was not in a hurry to attack the city, so he immediately wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone back to the north plane to present the son.

After Zhu Gaochi received the letter, he did not delay, according to King Yan's instructions, he should find someone to find someone, and prepare things to prepare things, and in less than half a day, the things mentioned in King Yan's letter were properly handled.

"Meng Yanshi, this matter is entrusted to you."

"Rest assured, the son of the world will definitely bring people safely!"

"Meng Yi does things, and he can rest assured."

Zhu Gaochi waved a small handkerchief and watched Meng Shishilang lead the team out of the city.

Meng Shishilang, who finally got out of the logistics work, felt that the sky had become extraordinarily clear, looked back at the team following him, took a deep breath, God gave him the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands, and he couldn't let the opportunity slip away.

Song Zhong, Song Dudu, are you ready?

Meng someone, but here!
