Chapter 92
It is incomprehensible, Beiping is besieged, and troops must be sent to rescue.
Shen Xuan and Zhu Nengzheng led the army to cut off the grain route of the southern army, and they could not be mobilized easily. Xu Zhong was true and couldn't move. Fang Kuan, Wu Jie and others marched into Shandong with the army and were transferred back, and the people at hand were afraid that they would not be enough.
Qiu Fu, He Shou...... King Yan silently turned his head and directly slapped the names of these two people. The two of them have performed well recently, but it is not a trivial matter to rush to help Beiping, in case the chain suddenly drops, it will be a big problem.
Removing the chief generals of the five armies and unreliable old qualifications, King Yan can only look for other talents. In the end, Liu Jiang, who had a good performance in the Battle of Baigou River, and Zhang Fu, the deputy general of the Chinese army, stood out. Both of them obeyed orders under Shen Xuan, and under the influence of Shen Xuan, they fought bravely and did not lack brains. Zhang Fu is Zhang Yu's son, and with his father's incense, he should be able to convince the public.
At that time, the Yan army was stationed in Dingzhou, and the two were summoned to the big tent, and the king of Yan was discussing with the strategists in the army the strategy of rushing to help Beiping.
Liu Jiang and Zhang Fu knelt on one knee and said, "I've seen the prince." ”
King Yan raised his hand, "You don't have to be polite, you have to entrust the two of you with important things." ”
"Fear of despicability."
Knowing that King Yan ordered the two to lead the cavalry to aid Beiping, Zhang Fu immediately said that he was willing to be the vanguard.
Before the words fell, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, who was also in the tent, stepped forward and applied for his father's permission to go with the reinforcements and relieve the siege of Beiping.
King Yan didn't speak, his eyes fell on Liu Jiang.
Liu Jiang did not disappoint Zhu Di, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is a plan for the humble position, which can solve the siege of Beiping." ”
"What's the plan?"
Liu Jiang said: "Back to the prince, it is not easy to mobilize the army, and I am willing to lead thousands of horsemen to Beiping as soon as possible with General Zhang." Artillery was mounted outside the Heian military camp and shelled the enemy camp at night. The sound of artillery was incessant, making the enemy think that the army was coming back. Ping Bao'er led less than 100,000 troops, and he was shocked when he suspected that the army would return to the division. and his men shall be afraid, and shall scatter and flee. At that time, the defenders in the city will be killed, and the danger of Beiping will be solved, and a big victory can be expected. ”
King Yan was overjoyed and praised Liu Jiang as a wise general.
was attacked by the boss, Liu Jiang was embarrassed, and hugged his fists; "This plan is not a humble idea, but a point from Yanshan defender Meng Tongzhi."
"Oh?" King Yan looked at Liu Jiang, "Is that really the case?" ”
"Back to the prince, I don't dare to hide my humble position." Liu Jiang is an honest man, although Meng only mentioned it casually, and he came up with most of the strategies, but he did not want to take the credit alone.
"Good!"
King Yan likes kind-hearted people, so he didn't ask too much, and immediately ordered Liu Jiang and Zhang Fuchi to help Beiping, and Zhu Gaoxu wanted to follow, but was ruthlessly rejected by his father again.
What's the fuss? Beiping is not allowed to go, let Lao Tzu go to the river to defend the city!
Helpless, Zhu Gaoxu could only accept the order and obediently lead his troops to the river to garrison.
King Yan had already guessed the reason why Ping An appeared outside Beiping City, just two words, detour!
Either Shanxi or Liaodong, or the guards in Hejian and other places have two hearts. Zhu Di's brows were furrowed, Ping'an's move worried him and inspired him. Thinking of Jinan, which he couldn't attack for a long time, there seemed to be a thought flashing in his head, but he couldn't catch it immediately.
Did he overlook something?
At this time, Beiping City was full of murderous atmosphere inside and outside.
Outside the city, tens of thousands of troops of Ping An set up camps, erected wooden viaducts, looked at the defenders of the city from afar, and studied the language art of greeting each other's ancestors every day. Every three or five times, I had to try the level of archery, but I couldn't shoot, which caused a burst of laughter. If you shoot, you can only count yourself as unlucky for being injured. Occasionally, the arrow will be tied to the letter of Heian and Shizi, the content is similar, and the theme is only one: persuasion.
We know each other that this is an impossible task, but the procedure that should be followed should be followed.
Zhu Gaochi is no longer Wuxia Ameng, seeing that Ping'an ordered the southern army to attack at the city gate every day, and when the Yan army attacked, he immediately turned around and ran, not in love with war at all, and had to think deeply about Ping'an's true intentions.
Besiege? Tens of thousands of southern troops want to take Beiping City, which is a joke at all.
If you don't attack the city, what's the matter with walking in front of the city gate every day? Proof of a trip here? Or do you show weakness to the enemy, and plan to wait for the city to relax its vigilance before waiting for an opportunity to move?
couldn't figure it out, Zhu Gaochi ran to ask Princess Yan. There is no shame in showing cowardice in front of your mother, and solving the problem is the fundamental. As a result, Princess Yan didn't give her son much face, so she sent him away with a word and asked Master Daoyan to go.
Seek advice from a Taoist master?
Zhu Gaochi was pacing in the warm pavilion of the carrier hall with his hands behind his back, his teeth hurt, and his stomach hurt a little.
Not only Meng was worried about Dao Yan, but the three brothers of Zhu Gaochi also had a numb scalp when they saw this. In front of the monk, he regarded himself as a junior, and he was respectful, and the faction of the prince and the king of the county was thrown into the corner, which was a painful lesson from the whip of the father.
Hearing the intention of the prince, Dao Yan opened his eyes, and the sound of the wooden fish in the wing room stopped.
"Does the prince have a plan in his heart?"
"I really can't do it, please teach me from the master."
Dao Yan smiled slightly, "There is a saying, the poor monk once said to His Royal Highness King Yan, and now he might as well say it to the prince again." ”
"Master, please speak."
In Zhu Gaochi's expectant gaze, Dao Yan said very profoundly: "Pingdu Governor is a smart person. ”
What?
Zhu Gaochi raised his head, and his head was full of question marks.
Dao Yan didn't say more, knocked the wooden fish again, and continued to chant the scriptures. The intent to send off the guest couldn't be more obvious.
Helpless, Zhu Gaochi could only leave.
I was confused when I came, and I had more doubts when I went back. If it weren't for the fact that his sanity still existed, Zhu Gaochi really wanted to grab Dao Yan's collar and yell at him, could he die if he made it clear?! Isn't it fun to play deep all day?! There's a problem in Beiping City, let's finish it together!
It's a pity that these words can only be thought about and spoken in the heart? Unless Zhu Gaochi wants to taste Daddy's whip again.
As he gets older, Zhu Gaochi is getting better and better at hiding his thoughts, and he always has a humble face to the outside, and it is the same in front of King Yan.
King Yan didn't say anything, but Princess Yan was unusual, and she spoke and taught several times, and her words became sharper and sharper. If you don't teach a lesson, it's no problem to talk to others, but it's too long to play with his father, right? There is no father and son in the heavenly family, do you think it is just an empty word?
It's not just Princess Yan who has a pair of discerning eyes.
Dao Yan was entrusted by Zhu Di, in addition to provoking King Yan to rebel and acting as a strategist, he would occasionally mention King Yan's three sons.
Lao Tzu is a hero, this is the common pursuit of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle.
Emperor Hongwu succeeded, more than 20 biological ones, more than 10 nominal ones, not only martial arts but also extraordinary literary talents. Zhu Laosi is one of the best, and he is so heroic that he robbed his nephew.
Emperor Yongle is not as good as his father in terms of his son's base, and the quality is also unsatisfactory, but he always has to pursue something in life. Dad has so many sons, he only has three, don't say that he is outstanding, he must be able to get by, right?
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are first-class in battle, their heads are not stupid, but their eyes are poor.
Zhu Gaochi has a lot of eyes, but when he fights on horseback, he can only eat ashes after the team.
Zhu Di sighed more than once, and when he came to Princess Yan, he was almost beaten with an old fist.
What's the matter, disgusted that she was not born well?
After sleeping in the side hall for three days, King Yan learned from the pain, and while smiling at his wife, he said that he liked the children born by his wife! There is absolutely no dislike in the meantime. So, he can move back, right?
King Yan should be glad that Princess Yan is a heroine and is very reasonable, otherwise, the god-device-washboard will definitely become the standard in the princess's palace.
couldn't continue to spit bitterness on Princess Yan, and King Yan could only change the object of complaint, Dao Yan.
For the great monk who started by fooling people, King Yan's troubles are nothing. Dao Yan said that the road is walked by people, and the son is educated by Lao Tzu. The son is not the fault of the father, the king of Yan wants a son who agrees, and education is. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, education-oriented.
Yan Wang Mao suddenly opened, comprehended, nodded solemnly, and understood.
After a long talk with fellow Daoyan, the number of times the three Zhu Gaochi brothers were whipped by their father skyrocketed.
Zhu Di perfectly interprets what is called tough guy education. That's how my father taught him, although he didn't whip him, he didn't suffer less from the sticks in the army.
After seeing Zhu Di's method of educating his son once, Dao Yan clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha name.
The means are a bit simple and crude, and the general direction is still fine. As for the minutiae, beating the child or something...... The great monk said that this is King Yan's housework, and it is better not to participate in it. After being optimistic about Lu's apprentice being repeatedly caught by the prince, the great monk thought that there was no need to be reminded.
Therefore, the tough guy education of the three Zhu Gaochi brothers must continue to walk.
In a sense, Meng is indeed suitable to be Daoyan's apprentice. When it comes to the ability of pit people, these two are really in the same vein, on par.
Outside the city of Beiping, the southern army harassed them three times a day, and the defenders were too lazy to pay attention to them, so they directly released arrows and drove them away, and there was no need to send people out of the city at all.
The two sides have formed a tacit understanding, not like a life-and-death war, but like they are joining forces to act in a play, and the director and protagonist of the play are Ping'an.
Ping Daozheng used practical actions to prove to the imperial court that the soldiers have been working hard and have never slackened, although there is no hard attack, but they are also three times a day, which is enough to "shock" the Yan army.
Whatever the actual situation may be, it is indeed written in the war report.
From fighting desperately to not being able to work, Ping An has also experienced a psychological struggle. However, the imperial court did not do practical things, and a group of people who were erected as Confucians also suppressed the generals in various ways. The emperor's attitude is also really chilling. If you want the horse to run and don't give the horse grazing, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
Ping'an did not openly betray the imperial court, but his inaction laid a hidden danger for the southern army. The detour went deep into the hinterland of Hebei and besieged Beiping, which also reminded King Yan that there was only one way to go south, Jinan?
Even if he didn't think of it now, with the guidance of Daoyan, Zhu Di would understand sooner or later. Even if Dao Yan doesn't remind him, Meng, who has broken into history, will not continue to stay out of the matter.
The results are already in front of you, gently move a few screws to speed up the speed of the gears, it should be okay, right?
Sitting in the tent, Meng Shishilang looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, sighing at the stars and the holes in the tent.
You can see the stars, and you can't make up for it.
After three years of fighting, King Yan's family is afraid that it is about to be hollowed out, and even Shen Xuan, the general of the Chinese army, and the tent of the second generation of Hou have been patched a lot, so it is always good to end the war one day earlier and enter Nanjing, right?
In the face of history, Meng is very small. However, it should not be a big problem to work the premise of knowing the historical trend of the Dao.
Shen Xuan walked into the tent, saw Meng holding his chin in a daze, looked over along the line of sight, and saw the very artistic roof of the tent, his expression was very subtle.
"Command?"
"Well, have you eaten?"
"I used it." Meng stood up and took Shen Xuan's helmet with a smile, "It is estimated that it will rain in the middle of the night." ”
Unsheathing the saber, Shen Xuan raised an eyebrow on one side, "So? ”
In front of the full forehead, a few strands of black hair fell down, and the black eyes became deeper and deeper.
"So, in order not to get wet in the middle of the night, this tent has to be repaired."
Seeing Meng swinging out the needlework from the logistics department, Shen Xuan had doubts in his eyes.
Meng smiled, "Be diligent and thrifty, start from the master." Command helpers? ”
"You're going to make it up?"
"Ahh Meng nodded, "Don't bother others, just hold me up by the command." ”
Hold it up?
Shen Xuan held his chin with one hand, as if he had thought of something, and bent down at the moment, picked Meng up and carried him to his shoulder.
The line of sight was reversed, Meng Shishilang was a little dizzy, his abdomen was smacked, he hissed, and patted Shen Xuan's back, "Command, it's the other way around." "Big head down. What tents to make?
"Okay."
The big hand clasped on the waist was harder, and the posture was coming, but the whole person was lying in the other party's arms.
Meng molars, deliberately? It must have been deliberate!
Shen Xuan smiled proudly and suddenly threw Meng up.
Meng Shishilang was completely numb, when he was a doll? No matter how light he is, he is also a man! When he fell, he subconsciously hugged Shen Xuan's neck, his heart was beating wildly, his breath was a little urgent, he was about to open his mouth when his eyes were dark, and his lips were suppressed.
The breath blended, and a low laugh flowed in his ears, "Don't be angry. ”
Meng squinted his eyes and tilted his head back, but he was clasped by a big hand and met a pair of smiling eyes.
Is this an apology? It's too insincere.
The eyeballs rolled, and as soon as the head was lowered, if he was not angry, he would not be angry, and he would kiss it first.
The fire and candles in the tent went out, and there was a dull sound, like a low table being kicked over, or a heavy object falling.
The soldiers on patrol walked by, stopped, and looked at each other strangely, listening to this sound, could it be that Commander Shen and Meng Tongzhi were smearing and learning martial arts?
Thinking of the inhuman combat index of Commander Shen, the soldiers and men suddenly felt reverence, and had such a fearless spirit of not being afraid of hardships and dangers and facing difficulties, Meng Tongzhi was indeed a pure man, a real man!
The saints all say that people can't look good, and it is rumored that Meng Tongzhi was beheaded at the fifth level in battle, which is definitely not exaggerated, let alone adulterated!
Idol!
The soldiers are full of stars, and they are going farther and farther in wrong cognition.
In the tent, Meng Shishilang pulled his collar and bared his teeth, this time it was not only him who left the tooth marks.
Shen Xuan propped up with one arm, combed his fingers through Meng's unbroken hair, leaned over and pecked Meng's sideburns, "Is the tent still repaired?" ”
Meng grinds his teeth, make up! Must be made up! Otherwise he will be bitten in vain!
"Don't mess around this time." He found that the second generation of Hou in front of him was not only inconsistent with what he looked like, but also occasionally made people feel so angry that they had a toothache.
In his early twenties, he was already a big boy, but Meng often forgot Shen Xuan's age.
When you think about it, it's not surprising. Whether it is the battlefield or the court, Shen Xuan's position is destined to make it easy for him not to relax himself.
Is this the only thing I've ever seen?
Thinking of this, Meng felt a wonderful sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if he had opened a treasure chest that others could not open and held a priceless treasure.
Maybe Meng Shishilang's expression was too dreamy, and Shen Xuan had to pat him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ziyu," Meng Gou hooked his fingers, "bend down and bow your head." ”
Shen Xuan did so.
When will the tent be patched? Discuss again.
At the end of August of the third year of Jianwen, Zhang Fu and Liu Jiang's reinforcements crossed the Hutuo River and went straight to Beiping.
The large number of artillery pieces slowed down the march, but from the news from the direction of Beiping, Ping'an did not order the siege of the city. Although I don't know why, it really bought time for the army.
Zhang Fu ordered the forward to explore the way, and when he encountered the scouts of the Southern Army, he would all be captured and killed, and he must not let Ping An get the news in advance and find out the reality of the reinforcements. This move really worked, and when the reinforcements arrived, the Ping An army was not aware of it, and Liu Jiang agreed with Zhang Fu to attack the camp by night with torches.
The cannon sounded, Zhang Fu led the cavalry to rush the camp, and the southern army was in an orderly manner, blocking Zhang Fu's attack. Zhang Fu had to lead the troops to retreat, and there were not many reinforcements, so there was no chance of winning a hard encounter.
"Ping Baoer is really amazing!"
It is true that the two sides are enemies, but it does not prevent Zhang Fu from admiring the peaceful management of the army. If it had been replaced by Li Jinglong, the camp of the Southern Army would have been in chaos a long time ago.
Seeing that Zhang Fu was defeated and retreating, Liu Jiang immediately ordered the cannon to be fired.
In the dark night, the sound of artillery was deafening, and even if it did not cause much substantial damage to the Yugoslav army, it was constantly crushing their nerves. The enemy could not be seen by the black light, only patches of torches could be seen, and the rumbling of cannons could be heard. The southern army became uncertain, could it be that King Yan personally led the army back to help?
The sound of artillery and the sound of killing alarmed the defenders in the city, Zhu Gaochi climbed to the top of the city, looked at the direction of the camp of the Ping'an army, and frowned slightly, is it my father who has returned to the division?
Several fast horses galloped from the direction of the palace, and the leader turned out to be a female official.
The female officer was personally ordered by Princess Yan to ask the prince to cooperate with the reinforcements to bombard the camp of the Ping'an Army, and sent cavalry out of the city to attack the camp at dawn.
"Leaving the city in the morning?"
"Hui Shizi, exactly." The female official said, "Master Daoyan also agrees with the princess's opinion. ”
"Okay, it's okay."
Zhu Gaochi did not hesitate, his mother's strategy in military affairs and her grasp of the fighter plane were beyond his reach. Master Dao Yan also agreed, so it was even more correct.
Previously, he was hesitating whether to hold on or go out of the city to meet the enemy, suspecting that this was a ploy for peace, and set up an ambush to lure the defenders out of the city. Looking back, it is impossible for Ping An to have such a big hand, it must be the reinforcements of his father.
The sound of cannons soon sounded at the head of the city, and the mighty general defending the city roared in the dark night, and the power was naturally not comparable to the artillery brought by Zhang Fu and Liu Jiang.
Artillery fire rang out one after another from both sides, shouts of killing surrounded the surroundings, and the psychological defense line behind the southern army was completely defeated, and they no longer had the will to fight, and they fled one after another.
It was a lone army, but if it was bombarded by artillery again, the battle really couldn't be fought!
The camp is gone, and the baggage is also thrown away, so let's save my life first.
Ping An had no choice but to try his best to gather the rout army and personally take the lead in fleeing in the direction of Zhending. He was worried not only about the Yan army, but also about the southern army under his command, if the camp was bombed, tens of thousands of people would have to be left under the city of Beiping. I don't want the soldiers to kill each other, so I can only take the lead and run. Even if he becomes the target of the Yan army, the handsome flag and torches have to be held, and the headless flies seem to be scurrying, and the fate can be imagined.
Tighten the reins, and the depression in Ping'an's heart is indescribable.
After so many years of fighting, I have never been so aggrieved.
Zhu Laosi is not kind, and Zhu Laosi's son is the same! It's obvious that the play is so good, but if you say that you will turn your face, you will turn your face, it's too moral!
Ping An led the army all the way south, and Zhang Fu led the cavalry in hot pursuit. When it was time to catch up, Xu Zhong in the city led the troops to intercept it, attacking back and forth, but he couldn't stop it.
Facts have proved that once the Ping'an Small Universe erupts, except for Shen Xuan and Zhu Neng, no one can really stop him.
When King Yan received the news, Ping'an had already run out of Hebei, and there were less than 10,000 people left in the army, but they had experienced several bloody battles in a row, and each was extremely fierce.
After careful consideration and discussion with his generals, Zhu Di ordered to get out of the way and leave safely.
Sheng Yong, who was guarding Jinan, heard that Ping'an was defeated and retreated, and immediately sent troops to respond, and secretly ordered Fang Zhao, the general of Datong, to lead troops into Bauhinia Pass and occupy Xishui Village in Yizhou, so as to attract the attention of the Yan army and help him get out of danger safely.
Sheng Yong didn't expect that Zhu Di had decided to leave safely, but he didn't receive it, but completely exposed-exposed-the nails buried by the imperial court in Zhu Di's allies.
King Yan was very calm, but King Jin was angry three times, mobilized guards, and personally went into battle to help King Yan fight. At the same time, he sent people to arrest Fang Zhao's family, and they didn't want to run in vain, Fang Zhao's family threw themselves into the well, and jumped into the well, and no one stayed.
King Jin sneered, the family is gone, aren't there still clansmen?
A fluttering sentence decided the fate of the Fang family. In order to dispel King Yan's suspicions, King Jin must be ruthless.
Upon learning of the results, King Yan smiled at Zhu Neng, Shen Xuan and the others; "Good, cool brother."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, it also made King Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
In the city of Nanjing, as the war reports continued to be sent back, Emperor Jianwen became more and more irritable.
Dongchang's victory was short-lived, and the sacrifice to Taimiao became a joke.
Ping'an was defeated, Sheng Yong retreated to Jinan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Liaodong were all lost, and most of the prefectures and counties in Shandong were also occupied by King Yan. The muzzle of the Yan army's cannon will point to Nanjing at any time, and Emperor Jianwen's neck seems to have a big knife hanging from his neck, which may fall at any time, and the person holding the knife is his own uncle.
The emperor is like a trapped beast, the civil and military officials continue to pretend to be quails, only the officials are still full of energy, the news of the defeat of Beiping came, and he immediately jumped three feet high, and immediately dismissed the post of governor of Ping'an, relieved him of military power, and took him back to the capital to investigate. The criminal department said conclusively in the matter, and it was unfavorable to fight several times in peace, and there was a suspicion of throwing Yan, so it must be investigated!
If you take peace, who can command the army in his place?
This is the matter of the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War of the Five Armies, what does it have to do with him? He is a speech official, satirizing the emperor, and picketing hundreds of officials, just need to do his job well.
The generals were so angry that their eyes were red, hoping that the emperor would be able to take this trouble-provoking trouble, even if it was a few reprimands. But Emperor Jianwen disappointed them again, he didn't take down the peace, but he didn't reprimand the provoking officials, he just waved his hand weakly and announced his retreat.
The six branches looked at the military generals in the court with mockery, despised this group of reckless men who could only shout and kill, and walked out of the Fengtian Hall with their heads held high, living like proud fighting cocks.
The military attaches gritted their teeth, and the Han generals on duty outside the hall also tensed their cheeks.
Is it really worth dying for such an emperor?
Back in the Qianqing Palace, the tired Emperor Jianwen summoned Fang Xiaoru, not to ask, but to find someone to talk to. This nerd has already cheated him once, and Zhu Yunwen doesn't want to be cheated a second time.
I didn't want Fang Xiaoru to be stubborn, and he was determined to share his worries for the emperor, ignoring Emperor Jianwen's prevention and the complaining eyes of the eunuchs in the palace, he said generously: "The minister has a plan, but Yan has no time to look south, and the father and son are suspicious!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jianwen, who was covering his face, slowly turned his head, looked at the confident scholar Fang, and a trace of expectation slowly floated in his heart, do you want to believe this nerd again?
As everyone knows, the strategy of Scholar Fang did bring hope of victory, but it did not belong to Emperor Jianwen, but to King Yan.
