In the first battle of Jiahe, the 200,000 troops of the imperial court were wiped out, the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed, and King Yan finally had the advantage.

While mobilizing his army and planning to pursue the victory, King Yan sent a message to Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing, demanding that Emperor Jianwen remove Huang Zicheng of Qitai from his official position and impose severe punishments. Even if Huang Zicheng, who knew that Dao Qitai and Huang Zicheng couldn't play much role by Emperor Jianwen's side, but dragged his feet a lot, King Yan still didn't like them.

Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing was also in a hurry, and the border troops with all the combat effectiveness of the guards in various places were almost exhausted. In order to guard against the Japanese and Annam and other states, the defenders in the coastal and southwestern places resolutely could not move. After calculation, the strength of the imperial court is already stretched.

There was a minister in the DPRK who proposed to recall Musheng, the Marquis of Qianning, who was guarding the southwest. Mu Sheng once worked with He Fu to crusade against the Luchuan Rebellion, was familiar with the art of war and strategy, and commanded tens of thousands of good generals, who could crusade against King Yan.

After careful consideration, Emperor Jianwen vetoed the proposal.

King Yan rebelled, but still ordered the border army to guard the fortress in the north and defend the important place. As the king of a country, how can he ignore the border defenses?

The transfer of the garrison troops has weakened the coastal defenses. Last month, there were Japanese invaders in eastern Zhejiang, and Yi Shaozong, a thousand households in the Qiancang Institute, led his troops to fight, and said goodbye to his wife after leaving a book on the wall, and died in a battle with the Japanese invaders.

"Set up generals to defend against the enemy, and set up armies to defend the people. The enemy is disloyal, and the people are unkind. If you are disloyal and unkind, how can you be a minister! If you are a minister, how can you be a person! ”

This is the iron backbone of a soldier in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the firm belief of a man to protect his family and defend the country.

When the court received the report, the Japanese had been defeated, and the ministers praised the power of heaven.

Tianwei?

Emperor Jianwen smiled bitterly, King Yan is rebelling, the imperial army has been defeated in successive battles, where did he come from his martial arts to cover the world, and all countries surrendered? Compared with these praises of merit, he wanted to know that there were a few "Yi Shaozong" in the Lu Dao Dynasty. Although he can do things and smoke, it doesn't mean that Zhu Yunwen is really a fool and can be easily fooled by a few good words.

Interrupting the gushing of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Jianwen said: "Proposed decree, bury Yi Shaozong, give sacrifices, commemorate the guards who died in the war, and reward his family." ”

This will is not excessive, and the ministers claim to be.

But when Emperor Jianwen said that he wanted to posthumously present Yi Shaozong as the third-class earl, the imperial history in the civil official team immediately jumped out.

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to take back your order."

A small Qianhu, a military attache of the fifth grade, but after killing a few widows, he was posthumously given a knighthood? What a reason! If it's just a civilian official, military attaché? Absolutely not!

Yu Shi Kangyu took the lead, and Hu Ke and Li Ke were listed in the matter, resolutely opposing the emperor's posthumous gift to Yi Shaozong.

Thick burials and sacrifices are okay, and there is no problem in erecting a monument and rewarding generously, but it is resolutely not okay to posthumously give a knighthood! There is no reason to give a thousand households a posthumous gift, and it is not in harmony with the rules.

Yu Shihe was aggressive in his words, and Emperor Jianwen's expression became more and more gloomy.

The face of the eunuch standing next to the throne turned pale. The ministers did not know what to do, and the people who served in the palace knew that the emperor's temper was not as good as the world thought. Recalling the scene of Emperor Jianwen lifting the table and kicking the stool, the eunuch's gaze at Kang Yu and the others became extremely unfriendly, and the knife flew with a whizz.

These people are happy, and those who serve the emperor in the palace are about to be unlucky.

The one who jumped the most happily, our family remembered!

It can be seen that it is not without reason that the East Factory and the West Factory, which are in charge of the eunuchs, prefer to invite civil officials to drink tea and chat with Jinyiwei.

"Enough!"

Emperor Jianwen shouted angrily, interrupting the "blunt words" of the officials, the anger made his face red, but there seemed to be cold ice in his voice, "Several Qing families can also die for the national strength, and I will also give it posthumously!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Retreat!"

Emperor Jianwen was so angry that he had a headache, and left directly with a wave of his sleeves. There were many Kang Yu and others who had not finished speaking, and it was the first time that the emperor had seen such an attitude.

The expressions of Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and the others at the end of the civil official team changed slightly, and they remembered the note handed to the palace by the General Political Envoy not long ago, and they had a plan in their hearts. The matter in eastern Zhejiang is just an introduction, and the root cause of the emperor's anger is still with King Yan.

Kang Yu and the others were angry, after all, the emperor has always been benevolent to civil officials, and he should not be annoyed and angry because of the outspokenness of the imperial history.

The speculation of Xie Jin and others is not unfounded.

Since Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, the status of the Chinese official has faintly surpassed that of the military attaché. Emperor Hongwu once strictly ordered the students not to discuss the government and politics, and despised all kinds of scholars, but now it is only three years, which of the prisoners in Taixue is not talking about it? is a student in the prefectural school, and he can also point fingers at the imperial court at every turn.

Most of the civil servants in the DPRK were happy to see this, and the network of fellow villagers, classmates, and the same year became even larger.

The military attache has resentment in his heart but has nowhere to vent it, so he can't go to the emperor to ask for an explanation, right? Especially the nobles of the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, they can't complain to the emperor, so they can only spray into the nostrils of the civil officials.

You can't blame Emperor Jianwen for the increasing number of generals who have jumped ship, but you can only blame the boss for the bad working environment and the poor treatment. Fighting desperately, he has to be pressed on his head by a few sour Confucians, chasing after the wind at every turn, being slandered for his life style, and losing his temper if he is replaced by a fairy.

King Yan successfully took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the military attachés and nobles in the court with the emperor, and through the matchmaking of his brother-in-law Xu Zengshou, he united the eunuchs in the palace and weaved a transparent net around Emperor Jianwen.

Sooner or later, Emperor Jianwen will fall into the net and be dragged off the throne.

This day is not far off.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jianwen overturned the table as the eunuch expected.

Wang Jinghong, the eunuch of the inner chamberlain, bowed his head and bent down, following behind the emperor, always vigilant that the emperor would hurt the dragon's body. The eunuchs and female officials in the palace walked on tiptoe, not daring to make a sound.

"Bastard!"

Emperor Jianwen waved down the palace lamp again, Wang Jinghong felt a sudden start, glanced behind him, and immediately a little eunuch went to find out what happened to Zaochao.

In this case, the matter is definitely not small.

When the anger came out, Emperor Jianwen's face finally improved. Turning around and walking into the inner hall, there were immediately eunuchs and palace people cleaning up the mess.

Wang Jinghong cautiously followed, and when he saw that the emperor had done it himself, he spread out the paper and wrote down two wills.

Posthumously gifted Qian Cang Qianhu Yi Shaozong as a third-class uncle.

cut off the official position of Qitai Huang Zicheng, and ordered the secretary to record his family.

After the edict, Emperor Jianwen wrote another secret edict, the content of which was to inform Qi Tai Huang Zicheng that his official position was only to paralyze King Yan, and the raid was also a formality. sent the two out of the capital in order to secretly recruit troops against King Yan.

Most of the fighting guards in the south were transferred, and the rest could not be moved. Emperor Jianwen really had no choice but to order the two of them to recruit soldiers in the people.

The secret order was sealed as soon as it was written, and it was sent to Qi and Huang before the edict was issued. Emperor Jianwen believed that Qitai Huang Zicheng may not be capable, but he was absolutely loyal to him. The task of recruiting soldiers is entrusted to them, and they should rest assured.

If you don't worry, you can't help it, count and count, and there are only a few people who can really be trusted. If you don't hand over the matter to Qitai Huang Zicheng, will it be difficult for Fang Xiaoru to do it? Fang Xiaoru is first-class in learning, and in terms of practice, I am afraid that he is not even a third-rate.

Emperor Jianwen thought he was doing it secretly, but he forgot about the eunuch standing behind him.

Emperor Hongwu did not allow eunuchs to study, and in order to make it easier to act, only some eunuchs were allowed to be literate. Wang Jinghong worked in the inner chamberlain, and was fortunate to enter the literacy class, coupled with his intelligence and excellent memory, he quickly stood out and became a eunuch in the inner chamberlain. King Yan rebelled, and Wang Jinghong soon took refuge and became an important intelligence agent lurking around the emperor to deliver news.

Noting down the content of the "secret order", Wang Jinghong took two steps back, secretly thinking about how to deliver the news out of Beijing as quickly as possible. Soon, I had a case in my heart.

Jianwen is three years, and the leap is March

The imperial court issued a decree to posthumously present Yi Shaozong and remove Qi Tai Huang Zicheng, and Wang Jinghong also successfully sent the news out of Nanjing.

King Yan, who obtained the information, sneered again and again, playing with him, the emperor is still tender!

In the same month, King Yan ordered to send troops to Zhending.

Zhending City is high and deep, and Ping'an can't hold out, and if it is barely defeated, its own losses will not be small, and you can only find a way to lure the enemy out to win.

King Yan asked the generals for advice, and everyone also scratched their heads. It's not easy to let Ping An be fooled, if a flaw is exposed, it will be calculated, and stealing chickens will not be lost, and it will be a big trouble.

When everyone hesitated, the sentinel outside the city of Zhending came to report, and the fine work that mixed into the city sent the news that Ping An had been transferred, and now it was Tao Ming who was stationed in Zhending.

Who is Tao Ming? Not to mention peace, even Wuding Marquis Guo Ying can't compare, and the level is on par with King Yan's defeated Xu Kai.

King Yan was overjoyed, and the generals were also happy, and they all spoke out, safe and not fooled, Tao Ming is definitely not a problem! You can lure the enemy into battle, and you must go!

Meng also actively participated in it, but the strategy that the military general came up with was too simple and crude, and if he wanted to succeed, the details must be mastered.

"Lord Yu, I think that it is okay for people to pretend to be people who are hiding from the war to mix in Zhending, and then transfer the defenders out of the city, except for the opportunity to seize the city."

King Yan nodded, "Great goodness!" ”

"In order to be realistic, there must be no small number of people."

King Yan continued to nod, "Yes! ”

"It's best to wrap a big bag and drag the family with you, and it's better to hold a child......"

Halfway through the conversation, the tent became unusually quiet, or perhaps too quiet, to say.

Meng Shishilang fixed his eyes, including Yan Wang and Shen Xuan, everyone's eyes fell on him, faintly with green light. An alarm signal suddenly sounded in my head, what is the situation?

King Yan turned his head sideways and discussed with Shen Xuan in a low voice, Shen Xuan first shook his head, and then nodded.

King Yan smiled and patted Shen Xuan's shoulder, "My son is very good!" ”

Then he faced Meng, "Meng Tong knows that this plan is very good, and he will be able to do it according to this plan." ”

"Humble thanks to the prince!"

After leaving the Great Tent, Shen Xuan told Meng that King Yan had given him the task of luring the enemy out of the city and waiting for the opportunity to seize the gate, and that he could act according to the plan when everything was ready.

"The conductor wants to go in person?"

Shen Xuan nodded and said, "Meng Tongzhi needs to accompany him. ”

"Commanded by humility." Responding happily, Meng hesitated a little, thought about it, and still said, "Command, just change your clothes, but you can command ......" If you don't want to be recognized, you have to change your face.

The face is hidden, and the evil spirit of this body cannot be hidden.

Shen Xuan's name of killing gods is too ferocious, and all the southern soldiers who have fought with the Yan army have never seen it with their own eyes, and they have heard the murderous name of this person from the mouths of their comrades.

"No problem." Shen Xuan took off his armor and loosened his cuffs, "I have my own plans." ”

Since Commander Shen was confident, Meng didn't ask any more. With Shen Xuan's peers, the risk factor climbs, and the safety factor also rises in a straight line. Compared with the two, Meng is more willing to act with Shen Xuan.

That night, Meng slept well and had a not-so-pure dream.

When I woke up the next day, Shen Xuan was purifying.

Drops of water fell on Ruyu's face, flowing as Shen Xuan got up, sliding over his chin and neck, and his neckline was stained with a wet mark.

After a while, Shen Xuan turned his head, his eyes were like stars, his gaze swept over Meng, and he raised his eyebrows on one side, as if he was a little surprised.

Walking to the edge of the couch, his slender fingers brushed the corners of Meng's mouth, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Twelve Lang is so pleasing to me?" ”

Glancing down, Meng covered his face in shame.

You can drool like this, and you can still be a little more productive?

It's all the fault of that dream!

The voice of the soldiers sounded outside the tent, Shen Xuan straightened up, and the ambiguous atmosphere was suddenly swept away.

The curtain was lifted, and the soldiers brought several sets of cloth clothes.

Picking up a gray regimental age coat, Meng was a little nostalgic. Since leaving home, the jacket and military attache uniform have not left his body, and there is very little opportunity to wear such cloth again.

I didn't want the shirt in my hand to be suddenly taken away by Shen Xuan, and was replaced by a light-colored shirt and skirt.

Meng blinked, blinked again.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a man's robe, but a dress!

Before he could ask, another soldier sent two dolls in front of the tent.

Looking at the doll with his fingers in his mouth, and then at the calm and calm Commander Shen, Meng Shishilang was instantly petrified.

Who's going to tell him if he's wearing it again? Or was Yan Wang and the others worn en masse?

It's a skirt again, it's a doll again, who came up with this bad idea?!

Shen Xuan looked at him silently, and the meaning was very clear.

Meng twitched the corners of his mouth twice and covered his face again.

Well, it's himself.

However, even if you want to wear "disguise", you don't need him to wear a skirt as a man, right?

Shen Xuan didn't speak, and after changing into his coat, he motioned to the soldiers to bring the two children who starred in friendship first. Waiting outside the tent, there are also the parents of the children, they are all nearby villagers, and there are relatives in the clan who serve in the army, and King Yan naturally does not dare to disobey.

Meng was still lucky with the clothes in his hand, and was suddenly pressed by Shen Xuan to sit on the couch. Looking up puzzled, Shen Xuan raised his hand and spread his hair.

Slender fingers slowly combed through his hair, as if a feather gently swept through Meng's heart.

Neither of them spoke, and in the silence, emotions seemed to overflow from their chests, indescribable, inexplicable.

Meng Shishilang covered his chest, isn't he just wearing a skirt? For the sake of beauty, he wears!

I want to wear all the grass skirts at the beginning, what is this?!

Psychological construction is done well, and Meng is very righteous and awe-inspiring. Seriously consider whether to shout a few slogans in front of King Yan's tent, such a sacrifice, you must always let the big guy see it. As for the humiliation or something...... All for the great cause of the prince, throw your head and spill your blood!

As a result, Meng Shishilang failed to do so.

Shen Xuan combed his hair and asked someone to give him a set of men's coats.

Changing into a coat, Meng suspected that the previous skirt was really not used by Commander Shen to tease him?

Walking out of the tent, Meng was a little surprised to see Yang Duo in the team.

Yang Tongzhi was dressed in a regimental collar and a short shirt, his hair was only tied up with a cloth belt, and his face was plastered, but he still did not hide his handsomeness.

"I've seen Commander Shen."

Yang Duo clasped his fists and saluted Shen Xuan, and the soldiers in the team who pretended to be ordinary people also knelt on one knee, "I have seen the commander and obeyed the command!" ”

As a temporary performance, the people in the middle of the show were a little panicked, and there were all ways to salute, Shen Xuan personally helped an old man and said, "Junior Xie Qi Gaoyi!" ”

"I can't help it!" The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The prince is kind and kind, and he puts food for the people, so that the little old man's family can survive." Doing things for His Royal Highness King Yan is something that the little old man can't ask for, don't say anything high-minded, the little old man can't beg for it. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Meng was quite touched in his heart, turned his head to look at the big tent of King Yan, pursed his lips, and his eyes became more and more determined.

In the third year of Jianwen, hundreds of people who fled the disaster of war rushed into Zhending City. Meng, Shen Xuan and others mixed in the ranks of the common people and were not discovered by the defenders.

After entering the city, the old man who had spoken to Shen Xuan took the initiative to ask to see the city gate general, and said that there was a secret report.

"Yan Wei is collecting grain in the middle." The old man knelt down in front of the general and cried, "The little old man's family has been robbed of food, and he can't live anymore, but he begs the heavenly army to protect him." ”

Meng pretended to be the grandson of the old man, and when he saw the stitches, he added oil and vinegar, and cried even more miserably than the old man. While crying, he scolded Yan Jun for not being a thing, the food and livestock at home were all snatched, only a few clothes and a few broken bowls were left, and he chewed grass roots and bark all the way to get up to the truth.

"Little life is hard...... The small family is miserable! ”

Meng Shishilang cried very rhythmically, Li Jinglong was blinded, and a general was not a problem.

Under the excellent singing and songwriting, the general shed tears of sympathy. There was no longer any suspicion and the situation was reported to Tao Ming.

Tao Ming summoned the strategists to discuss, thinking that the Yan army was collecting food everywhere, and the camp must be empty, which was a good time for a sneak attack.

"The general is clever!"

The praise of the strategists and subordinates made Tao Ming forget the advice before leaving Ping'an: stick to the city, don't take the initiative to meet the enemy, otherwise it will definitely not be guaranteed.

Ping'an's kindness was wasted under the cunning of King Yan and Tao Ming's stupidity.

Tao Ming decisively schemed, led the army out of the city to attack the Yan army camp, crashed into the trap set by the king of Yan, and met the Yan army that had been waiting for a long time in the Hutuo River, and the two armies immediately started a battle.

In the battle, King Yan once again exerted the spirit of forging ahead bravely and taking the lead. Without Shen Xuan by his side, it was even more enjoyable.

Zhu Di only led a few horses to kill in and out of the formation, and he was stunned that no southern army dared to do anything to him. was cut by King Yan, only one of himself died, and accidentally hacked to death and injured King Yan, afraid that the whole family would die.

At this time, black smoke rose from the direction of Zhending, which was a signal of the success of Shen Xuan and the others who had infiltrated the city.

Yan Jun had no scruples when he landed, and Zhu Di gave an order, shouting and killing shook the sky.

Tao Ming knew the plan, and if he lost his true determination, his official position would inevitably be lost, and his head might not be stable. simply let go of the devil and fight with Zhu Di, maybe he can get a posthumous mourning.

Seeing that the commander began to work hard, the Southern Army also burst out with amazing courage. didn't dare to shoot arrows at King Yan, so he simply threw his anger at the handsome flag of the Yan army, and under the rain of arrows, King Yan's Chinese army Daxu was quickly shot into a hedgehog.

The flag guard held his head and didn't know how to react.

What is this? Spiritual Victory Method?

The southern army fought for their lives, and for a while, the Yan army had no way to deal with them.

However, the heavens seemed to be really on the side of King Yan, and when the battle between the two armies was the most intense, there was a gust of wind, which lifted the house and uprooted the trees, and blew fiercely in the direction of the southern army.

From the Baigou River, to the Jiahe River, and then to the Hutuo River, this is the third time that there is a strong wind to help.

It is impossible for Zhu Di to believe that he is ordered by heaven.

The battle array of the southern army finally collapsed, and the Yan army took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill, and pursued it until Gaocheng, beheading more than 60,000 people. The main general Tao Ming disappeared, and no trace was found afterwards. However, judging from the situation at that time, "mourning" was impossible, but "glory" was certain.

The defenders were scattered, and King Yan recaptured Zhending, and by the way, received a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance left by the southern army. These were originally prepared for the defense of the city in peace, and after Tao Ming's hands, they were all given to King Yan.

Meng, who offered advice, was praised by King Yan, and Shen Xuan, Yang Duo and other soldiers also had their own favors.

The old man who helped the plan and the villagers in Lizhong were cordially received by the king of Yan, and when he went back, there were soldiers who specially pushed the grain cart. King Yan once again borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and his reputation for kindness was even better than in the past.

Meng Tongzhi, who had made meritorious contributions, returned to the tent, but saw Commander Shen wiping the long knife.

The shark skin scabbard was placed aside, and the blade reflected Shen Xuan's handsome face.

Since Zhendingcheng and his party, Commander Shen seems to be a little wrong.

"Command?"

"Twelve Lang and Yang Tongzhi have a good relationship?"

"Huh?" Meng was stunned for a moment when asked, "I can't talk about friendship, but I've worked together before." ”

"Yes."

Shen Xuan put down the cloth towel, put the knife back into its sheath, "Come here." ”

Meng honestly passed, and then, his mouth was gagged, and his collar was ripped open.

For several days, the marks on the side of Meng Shilang's neck did not disappear.

At that time, he bit back and the result was ...... I can't think about it, and the more I think about it, the more sad it becomes.

After taking Zhending, King Yan led his army to continue the attack.

In the leap March, the Yan army captured Shunde and Guangping.

In the summer of April, the Yan army came to the city again, and the officials in the city took the initiative to greet him, saying that everyone had been waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Yan for a long time, and they were all looking forward to this day!

In the same month, Emperor Jianwen sent Shi Chen from the capital to visit King Yan with the emperor's edict.

It was not someone else, it was Gao Wei.

At that time, hearing that the emperor was going to send someone to Yan, the Chinese military generals took leave one after another. There are all kinds of strange reasons, only unexpected, nothing can't be done, there is only one purpose, and you must not be caught by the emperor!

Is King Yan a good match?

Eight or nine times out of ten, you won't be able to come back.

Emperor Jianwen was angry, but he couldn't do anything about these quails.

Roll call for direct apportionment? Wenchen fainted directly, Wuchen cried in the palace, the minister was stupid and couldn't take on the heavy responsibility, the emperor still chose another talent.

Fang Xiaoru took the initiative to ask for his life, Emperor Jianwen's head shook like a rattle, and this King Yan would definitely not be able to go anywhere. Send him to Yan, don't think about delaying time, maybe it will stimulate King Yan to immediately copy the knife and go straight to Nanjing.

I have to admit that although Emperor Jianwen has a pit in his head most of the time, he still sees the other party's filial piety quite accurately.

Thinking left and right, pulling and pulling among the ministers, and finally, Gao Wei, who had been thinking behind closed doors at home, entered the emperor's sight.

This person once took the initiative to make Yan, and the relationship with King Yan is very unclear.

Send him, even if it is useless, he will be without fault, right?

So, Emperor Jianwen made the decision, it's you!

The old gentleman who was sick in bed finally listened to the holy sound once, but he didn't want to be such a "heavy responsibility".

Thinking of what he had suffered in the Yanwang Mansion, the old gentleman almost rolled his eyes and fainted. It's not a false halo, it's definitely a real halo.

However, the emperor's will has been given, and Gao Wei has no way to refuse.

Since the emperor is still willing to use himself, Mr. Gao stomped his feet, isn't it just to make Yan? He is not afraid!

Mr. Gao took the emperor's edict all the way north, and finally met King Yan in Daimyo.

At that time, King Yan was discussing with his subordinates and preparing to march to Zhangde.
