Chapter 58

Meng had no fever, so auditory hallucinations were impossible.

As Meng Baishi's top boss, Commander Shen left it in one sentence, it was impossible for Meng Baishi to resist, and he had to implement it in a down-to-earth manner.

So, Meng Shishilang set up camp in Shen's tent, and the miraculous thing was that he slept on the same collapse, his hands and feet were against each other, and he didn't have a little charming mind.

Meng was shocked, thinking that he was holding back his illness.

But once he left the collapse, his heartbeat would soar when he saw Shen Xuan untie his belt.

What's wrong with this?

Sweeping the bed in the tent with complicated eyes, Meng Shishilang was very puzzled.

Do you have to rush?

Or is it a discord in the attributes?

Try it tomorrow night on the floor?

I thought about many possibilities, but they were rejected one by one. Meng scratched his chin, well, I must admit that he does have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, knowing that Shen Xuan's attitude towards him is not ordinary, he can only look at the beauty and dare not make a move.

It's really that Commander Shen's drunken words are too scary.

accidentally took advantage of this one, that is to see and beat once, with his small body, he can't bear it.

If you can't take the initiative, you want Commander Shen to take advantage of yourself?

Holding the bedding and looking at the top of the tent for a few seconds, Meng Pap gave himself a slap.

The bottom line?

What about the festival?

Is it all shattered into slag?

Shen Xuan lifted the curtain and saw Meng Yi slapping his face, his expression was indescribable.

Meng raised his head, and the two looked at each other for a moment, the atmosphere was very delicate.

"I have seen the commander in my humble position."

Meng Shishilang was the first to break the silence in the tent, and for the first time thought that the rule that he had to salute when he saw Shangguan was not a bad thing.

"Get up." Shen Xuan didn't put down the curtain, and his voice didn't fluctuate too much, "It's opening-pulling, hurry up." ”

"Yes!"

The curtain was lowered, Shen Xuan did not stop, Meng Gu couldn't think of anything else, and sped up the speed in his hand.

Before, it was all three o'clock - pull - camp, but today it was suddenly advanced, is there an accident?

While thinking, he picked up the big coat that was covered on his body last night from the collapse, and his movements were slightly paused, and he lowered his head involuntarily, and there was a wisp of cold fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.

Realizing what he was doing, Meng Shishilang was suddenly embarrassed.

Just as he was embarrassed, a soldier of the Yanshan guard lifted the curtain and said to Meng: "Meng Yanshi, the lowly ones are going to set up tents." ”

"Oh."

Meng hurriedly put the big gun away, and the soldier's question came to his ears again, "Why is Meng Yanshi's face so red?" Isn't it fever again? Why don't you go find a doctor? ”

"No, I'm fine."

"your face......"

"You're wrong."

"But ......"

"No, but." Meng narrowed his eyes, full of threat, "I'll talk to Qian Yan, how about transferring you to Liu Ti's subordinates?" Recently, Liu Tiqiao often said that there is a shortage of manpower to transport military rations. ”

Transferring from a combat unit to a logistics department means that the difficulty of achieving combat exploits has increased by tens of percentage points at once.

It is tantamount to torture to make a man who is accustomed to fighting on the battlefield put down his butcher's knife and deal with grain, straw, mules and horses all day long.

Knowing the seriousness of the consequences, the military man rubbed his big hands again and again, "What the matter says is what it is, and the humble is indeed wrong." ”

"Yes." Meng was satisfied, waved his hand, and continued to dismantle the tent.

The official authority is great!

When he set off, Meng finally figured out that the reason why he was pulling out the camp in advance and speeding up the march was only because of the Yongping battle report that had been delivered not long ago.

Yang Wen, who was stationed in Yongping, was not only talentless, but also timid as a mouse.

Caught Meng's divisive plan, squeezed out Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, and without the backing of the King of Liao, Tan Yuan was ordered to lead the Yan army to besiege Yongping, but it was meant to set up a wooden fence and reject horses to besiege the city, and before the drum was beating, Yang Wen took his subordinates to retreat to Shanhaiguan by night.

It is polite to say that it is polite, and it is more appropriate to use escape.

Tan Yuan was not ambiguous, he was not busy receiving Yongping, and personally led his troops to chase after him.

Heaven and God, how can you not take it?

Although King Yan only ordered a siege, it was a pity to miss such a great opportunity.

Yang Wen knew that the Yan army would follow behind him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

There was still some distance from Shanhaiguan, and he was bitten by Tan Yuan's tail.

Tan Yuan was a fierce general who was not inferior to Zhu Neng, and when he saw Yang Wen, his eyes were red with excitement like the soldiers under his command.

Good boy, I finally let Lao Tzu catch up!

"Kill!"

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, taking the lead, rushing forward is a slash.

The Yan army entered the flock like a wolf, fought for several rounds, beheaded more than 1,000 people, captured more than 500 war horses, and won a complete victory, but unfortunately Yang Wen still ran away.

Tan Yuan knew that Shanhaiguan was well defended, and it was not his own people who could defeat him, so he led the troops back to the camp and stationed in Yongping, and at the same time sent someone to send a battle report and a review letter to King Yan, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good.

Lord Wang, he violated the order and accidentally occupied Yongping, what should you do about this? This can't be blamed entirely on the humble position, who let Yang Wen run away at night, like a rabbit? The humble position is guaranteed by the head of the item, and he did not take the initiative to attack Yongping, absolutely not!

King Yan read the battle report, and he was neither angry nor laughing, and his expression twitched instantly.

How did he never realize that there was so much hob meat under his hands?

"Lord Wang, but Yongping has changed?"

"Nothing." King Yan informed Shen Xuan and the others of the news that Tan Yuan had accidentally taken Yongping, and ordered to immediately pull out the camp.

As soon as Yongping is calm, King Ning will definitely be vigilant, and the news of his departure from Beiping will soon reach Li Jinglong's army.

It's a trouble for your subordinates to be too good at fighting!

The Yan army mounted their horses one after another, sending a few horsemen to explore the road in front, and the rear army accelerated their speed and rushed to Daning in the starry night.

Part of King Ning's army was stationed at Songting Pass, and Daning's guards were mainly Mongol cavalry. He Shou suggested that you can pull out the Songting Pass first and then trap Daning, so as not to worry that King Ning will not rebel with King Yan.

King Yan vetoed this proposal, "King Ning is Gu's brother, how can he fight each other?" To persuade brothers, they should convince people with virtue and reason. ”

When everyone heard this, this was no less than thunder.

The prince wants to convince people with virtue and reason?

How can this be more terrifying than slashing people with a direct--knife?

Sure enough, as King Yan expected, when he heard the news that Yongping was occupied by the Yan army, King Ning immediately tensed his nerves and strengthened his vigilance. Seeing King Yan's team appear outside the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed, set up artillery bows and arrows on the city wall, and clearly told King Yan that he was not Zhu Yunwen's yellow-mouthed child, and let Zhu Di come and go freely on his own territory and play with personality!

King Yan was also interested, and ordered his generals not to make a mistake, and rode alone to the city, and he was not worried that King Ning would give him an arrow and take his head to ask Emperor Jianwen for a reward.

After being a neighbor in the north for so many years, King Yan knew his brother, and King Ning would not do such a thing, and he did not bother to do it. Like him, King Ning didn't look down on that nephew in Nanjing. Seriously, the vassal kings who can look at Zhu Yunwen are difficult to count one or two with their fingers.

"Brother!" King Yan walked to the city and raised a horn that had been prepared for a long time, and without much effort, the voice reached the city, "Brother, I am desperate, so I came to find you, brother, please take it in!" ”

Zhu Di shouted very devotedly, and cooperated to make a sad expression, which was really sad for those who saw it, and cried for those who heard it.

Zhu Quan is a little stupid, this is King Yan, his fourth brother who chased after the Tartar and cut down?

"Brother Wei will never bring the army into the city, if you are still not at ease, Brother Wei immediately ordered the army to retreat five miles."

"Brother, for the sake of Emperor Tai-Zugao, let's help be a brother!"

Speaking of which, it would be unkind not to let King Yan enter the city. King Ning also kept an eye on it, the main gate was not opened, only the door next to it was opened, and King Yan and the two entourages entered the city.

King Ning was not really moved by King Yan's words, there is no father and son in the heavenly family, what is the brotherly love?

Letting King Yan enter the city was nothing more than to see what he wanted to do.

Meng was fortunate enough to be chosen to follow King Yan into the city, and the other person who accompanied him was the eunuch Sanbao.

Although he is a eunuch, compared to his hands, Meng Shishilang may not be the opponent of Sanbao. He had seen this when he was Kaipingwei.

The layout of Daning City is very similar to that of Beiping City, and the architectural planning of Ningwangfu is not much different from that of Yanwangfu. In addition to covering a small area, blue bricks and green tiles, vermilion Danbi, and corridors and palace rooms are all strictly in accordance with the prince's palace system.

King Yan was invited to the main hall and sat down with King Ning. The two most powerful vassal kings in Northern Xinjiang and the most feared by Emperor Jianwen began to talk about brotherhood.

What is the topic that brings us closer to each other? Crusade against Emperor Jianwen of Nanjing.

King Yan said: "Brother, you don't know the way, Zhu Yunwen's kid is too much of a thing, and my brother's rebellion is also forced to have no choice, if you don't rebel, there is no way to live!" ”

King Ning said: "Brother doesn't need to say it, the younger brother knows the way!" That kid is really not authentic! “

King Yan grabbed King Ning's hand, "Only brother, you can understand me, brother, that bitterness in my brother's heart!" ”

King Ning held King Yan's arm with his backhand, "Having such a nephew who doesn't recognize his six relatives is really the misfortune of our old Zhu family!" ”

The two vassal kings reprimanded Emperor Jianwen sentence by sentence, from his insistence on cutting the feudal domain in disregard of the decree of Tai-Zu, to his various persecutions of the vassal kings, except for the exiled and imprisoned King Qi of Zhou and others, the King of Xiang, whose family went to see his father, was especially highlighted and deeply missed.

Speaking of which, King Yan and King Ning had red circles together, one called his younger brother, the other called his brother, hugged his head and cried, and shed crocodile tears.

God knows that when playing with mud, these two can't play with King Xiang, and their personalities and hobbies are very different. After the feudal domain, it is rare to see each other for a year, where does the deep friendship come from.

Meng Shishilang was stunned, the son of Emperor Hongwu was really a hero, extraordinary. This acting skills, this level, will be placed at the absolute actor level in later generations.

Emperor Jianwen is not like his grandfather, nor like these uncles, his head is like this, could it be a genetic mutation?

Meng lowered his head and lowered his eyes, very puzzled.

After successfully getting closer to each other, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, sent someone to call his son Zhu Panyan to meet his uncle.

Zhu Panyan is the eldest son of King Ning, and the only son of King Ning now, the same age as Zhu Gaosui, and his appearance is very handsome, very similar to King Ning.

Compared with King Yan's ruggedness, King Ning has more elegance on him. It's hard to imagine such a man going into battle shirtless and slashing the enemy with a sword.

The fact is that in addition to King Yan, the neighbor on the grassland is the most worried about this King Ning. If King Ning's force value is not strong enough, Emperor Hongwu will not hand over Duoyan Sanwei to him to command. If it is like Emperor Jianwen, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress this group of arrogant Mongolian cavalry at all.

The saying that people should not look like each other is really a wise saying.

After talking about friendship, King Ning sent his son away, and the conversation between the brothers finally cut to the point.

Zhu Quan originally thought that the purpose of Zhu Di's trip was by no means simple, either to persuade him to fight together, or to borrow troops, at least to dig out some money and food from him. The so-called thieves don't go empty, they are all anti-thieves, will they be polite to him?

No, King Yan said something that shocked King Ning even more.

"It's really a last resort to raise troops for my brother. Do you also know that the imperial court has now sent an army of 500,000, how many people are in the hands of my brother? I can't bear it. This time I came to ask for help from my brother, to give advice to the court, and to help my brother's intercession. Even if you can't pardon your brother, you will leave your nephews alive. ”

Ning Wang Zhu Quan looked at King Yan suspiciously, "It's difficult to be appeased?" ”

King Yan shook his head, "No." ”

"Really?"

"It's really not quiet."

King Ning was still suspicious, but King Yan insisted that he really couldn't hold on, his family was about to be defeated, and his subordinates didn't obey him.

"Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, it's really ...... for the brother now Alas! King Yan said as he pointed to Meng who was standing next to him, "The only thing that can be used by my brother's subordinates is this, what kind of battle is there to fight, what is the difficulty of Jing!" ”

Zhu Quan looked at Meng along Zhu Di's point, from the military attache uniform on his body, to the still somewhat pale face, he was silent for a moment, and turned to Zhu Di, his face full of sympathy.

"Brother, younger brother understands."

Meng Shishilang: "......"

He doesn't get angry, there's no point in being angry!

But he wants to bite!

Regardless of whether he was true or not, Zhu Di was temporarily left in Zhu Quan's city.

King Yan kept his promise and ordered the army outside the city to retreat five miles that day.

While treating this brother with good wine and food, King Ning pondered how to write the note to the imperial court.

In the final analysis, he still didn't believe that King Yan really didn't plan to rebel, and he must have a plan to find him. But King Yan's army was stationed outside the city, and there was only one eunuch and a military attache who were not useful to bring into the city.

King Ning thought about the possibilities of King Yan, but King Yan entered the city for three days, in addition to eating and drinking, he urged him to write a note to the court, and occasionally held a wine pot to shed a few tears at the moon.

It is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God, and he has a deep understanding.

There is no way, I can only hurry up and give the court a relief, no matter what the attitude of the court is, it is the best policy to send King Yan away first.

As for the matter of pondering whether he should be martyred with King Yan before, he had to think about it again.

Compared with the wild grass that King Yan made Meng Shishilang bow down to the wind, King Ning's handwriting is very good, and the writing is also quite stylish.

When King Yan was busy pretending to be depressed with a bitter face, sighing to Yue Chang at every turn, and pulling King Ning to spit out bitter water, Meng Tong Sanbao was not idle, and through the fine work that had been mixed into the city before, the two successfully met with the leader of Duoyan Sanwei, and sent the treasure money out in a dozen ways, just to win these Mongolian cavalry to follow King Yan to martyrdom together.

These Mongolians are not stupid, knowing that the treasure money belongs to the depreciation currency, putting on a posture that the rich and noble cannot be lewd, and the poor and the lowly cannot be moved.

Meng pulled Sanbao's sleeve, handed him a cup of tea, and motioned to the future navigator to be restless, "Ma Ting take a break in advance, watch me come!" ”

Facing the Mongolian strong men in front of him, Meng Shishilang said with a smile, "You don't like the treasure money, and the copper money must be the same?" ”

The strong men were silent.

"So, what about the cattle and sheep?"

The expressions of the strong men finally relaxed.

Meng Bang slapped a piece of paper on the table, he couldn't write Mongolian, and these big men probably couldn't write Chinese characters, so thank God they could communicate verbally, it was more vivid, and they could only draw everything they wanted to say.

Taking out a small piece of charcoal that had been prepared, Meng Shishilang drew five stick figures on the paper, and next to the villain stood a sheep that was a little miserable, and his fingers were a little harder, "Behead the fifth level, a sheep, behead the eighth level, and a cow!" If captured alive, the number is doubled. ”

The leaders of Duoyan Sanwei who were present began to discuss, Mongolian and Chinese were mixed, and Meng was not in a hurry, seeing that a group of people were arguing, he drew a few grasses on the paper and circled them, "Plus the grassland, it is also the distribution of battle merits, you can discuss it together." ”

After the words fell, he put down his pen and sat back in his chair to close his eyes and recuperate.

It is all false to talk about money with these Mongolian cavalrymen, and in their eyes, a dozen treasure money is not as good as a sheep and a few taels of tea.

It was decided by King Yan to set aside more pasture for them to graze, and historically, Zhu Di did have this promise. It's just that Emperor Yongle, who can write blank checks to his son, also took these Mongolian cavalry a handful, saying that the grassland of Haolu was dragged from the first year of Yongle to Zhu Gaochi's accession to the throne, but he didn't give them to them.

Defy?

Want a hard grab?

As soon as Emperor Yongle threw his arms, Lao Tzu was most afraid of war! Without saying a word, go straight to the troops.

Beiyuan engaged in splitting by himself, which happened to be convenient for Zhu Di. He led the Ming army out of the fortress five times, beat the Tatars after the Warat, and taught Uliangha a lesson on the way back to the army.

When he was a vassal king, he was not afraid of these steppe neighbors, let alone an emperor.

The transfer of money and food for the army in hand is multiplied, what else is there to say? If you dare to provoke, you will be beaten back directly, and if you beat you honestly, you have to beat it again, why? Deepen the impression in case the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten.

Emperor Yongle is an out-and-out emperor on the horse, a lover of war, and a doomed tragedy who dares to argue with him.

After having a certain understanding of Zhu Di, Meng had some suspicions, Zhu Di ignored the opposition of the minister, and insisted on moving the national capital from Nanjing to Beiping.

After all, the Japanese in the early Ming Dynasty were not as arrogant as in the later period, and the armaments of the guards on the southern coast were not abandoned.

Emperor Jianwen was an otaku who almost never left the imperial city from the time of the emperor's grandson to the time when he was taken the throne by his uncle. Emperor Yongle is different, he is an athletic man who can't sit still, there are not so many battles for him in Nanjing, and if he wants to cut people, it is more convenient for Beiping.

The grassland warriors of the Yongle period are destined to have few peaceful children.

In a sense, Meng Shishilang may have glimpsed a trace of historical truth.

It took half an hour for the leaders of the Duoyan Sanwei to reach a consensus, they agreed to exchange their military exploits for cattle and sheep and pasture, but the number of cattle and sheep must be increased, and the location of the pasture must also be in a good place.

The smile on Meng's face became more and more sincere, "No problem, as long as everyone takes refuge in King Yan and does things for the prince, there will be cattle and sheep, there will be pastures, and everything will be there!" ”

Cattle and sheep can be "borrowed" directly from their grassland neighbors, and if the grassland is used, anyway, with the degree of Emperor Yongle's picking, the possibility of cashing in is quite slim.

A thought vaguely flashed in Meng's mind, it is not impossible to really give grassland, and the place in Mobei close to West Asia and Eastern Europe is very valuable for development.

With the combat effectiveness of the army in the early Ming Dynasty, the so-called lame Timur could go where it was cool and rest.

Meng and Sanbao together - rolled up their arms and sleeves to bargain with the leader of Duoyan Sanwei, and finally set the price of beheading a sheep at the third level and a cow at the sixth level.

The strong men were very satisfied with the price, carefully picked up a few pieces of paper on the table, carefully put them into their arms, and smiled so that their eyes narrowed into a slit, obviously imagining the beautiful scene of countless pastures and herds of cattle and sheep.

Meng is also laughing, the price given by King Yan is to behead two levels and one sheep, but unfortunately he can't eat rebates this year, otherwise, his assets will definitely have a few more zeros.

In the palace, King Ning came to King Yan with a written recital, but was pulled by the drunken King Yan and vomited bitterness.

was hugged by a strong man who was full of alcohol, King Ning endured it for a few years, and finally couldn't hold back, threw it away, rolled up his sleeves and played wrestling with King Yan.

The son of Emperor Hongwu, no matter what his appearance is, except for the crown prince, his temper does not seem to be very good.

To be able to endure King Yan until now, King Ning has already played extraordinarily.

At the same time that King Yan wielded a shovel to dig the corner of King Ning's wall, the crisis in Beiping also came suddenly.

Upon learning that King Yan was not in the city and that the army defending the city was less than 100,000, Li Jinglong immediately ordered the army to set off from Hejian and attack Beiping.

Along the way, I passed by several villages outside the city, and listened to the reports of my subordinates, these villages have built earthen walls on the periphery, and there are corner towers behind the earthen walls.

"Diao Min! Surely he has been a thief! ”

He immediately ordered an army to be divided to teach these people a lesson. As a result, the ministry will report again, and these Diao people hung wooden signs on the earthen walls, pasted paper on the door, and wrote "Long live Emperor Tai-Zugao, long live, long live".

The soldiers who were ordered to go did not dare to slam the door, let alone climb over the wall.

A bad but disrespectful crime, to kill the head.

Li Jinglong was dumbfounded.

The soldiers under his command dare not bear the charge of great disrespect, will he dare?

Zhu Di was defeated in front of this trick back then, not to mention Li Jinglong, who had a belly of straw?

has not yet hit Beiping, but a few villages outside the city are so tricky, how tight should the defense in Beiping be?

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Li Jinglong's head, Beiping, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight.

Zhu Gaochi in the city heard that the imperial army had arrived, his face was calm, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.

Princess Yan took off the hairpin ring, changed out of her long skirt, wore a military uniform, and walked to her son's side with a spear in her hand, "Shizi, do you remember what your father said before leaving?" ”

"My son remembers."

"Why, then?" Princess Yan, who is dressed in military uniform, is no longer gentle, and her whole body is full of sassy and heroic posture.

The palace people who often accompany Princess Yan are also dressed in strong suits, holding swords and other sharp weapons, and they are heroic in their actions.

"Shizi, the enemy is current, as the commander-in-chief, he should be in command of the city! Your father handed over the city of Beiping to you because he trusted you. Don't disappoint your father, and don't disappoint your mother! ”

Zhu Gaochi was encouraged by Princess Yan's words, aroused his fighting spirit, asked Wang An to take the armor made for him, put on the long knife given to him by King Yan, and strode out of the palace.

This is the war of Beiping, the war of his father, and the war of his Zhu Gaochi!
