Yan King Zhu Di recognized that the voice was Zhu Neng, and hurriedly took a step back, shouting: "Wu Na man, you stop, I am Yan King, you are Zhu Neng?" ”

Zhu Neng recognized that it was the voice of King Yan, hurriedly stopped, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "The last general failed to recognize His Highness, and I hope to beg for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Di helped Zhu Neng up, and the two of them each wiped the dust off each other's faces, looking at each other and laughing.

At this time, the scout cavalry came to report that Ping'an had led the army to Fujiachi, which was only eighty miles away. When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, heard the news, he immediately gathered a large army and moved to the Louzi camp to prepare for a decisive battle with Ping'an.

When Ping'an heard that Shengyong's army was defeated, he was shocked, and hurriedly led the army back to Zhending, but he couldn't hold out.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, discussed countermeasures with the generals, and Zhu Neng said: "This time, our army has broken Sheng Yong and boosted morale, so it is better to return to Beiping, rest for a while, and then make plans." ”

King Yan shook his head and said: "Although Sheng Yong is defeated, peace is still there, if you can't kill this person, it will be a big disaster." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Father, but the peace is really not fixed, if I attack the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a while, and I will repeat the mistakes of Jinan." ”

Zhu Di said: "Naturally, you can't use strength, you must use wisdom." If the infant city is stubbornly defended, it will be counted as the top, if the army will return immediately, avoid without fighting, it will be the middle policy, and if it comes to seek war, it will be the next policy. Now I will induce him to make a decision, and he will break it. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said strangely: "When he hears that Sheng Yong has been defeated, he will not dare to come out." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Otherwise, Ping An has 100,000 people, but he leads an army by himself and cannot join with Sheng Yong's army, which is enough to show that the two of them are incompatible." Now that Shengyong's army is defeated, he will go to the court to shirk his guilt and peace. Therefore, it has the responsibility of losing discipline during the period of time and the teacher spending money. Ping'an is jealous of Sheng Yong's reward for being a marquis, and secondly, he is afraid of the punishment of the court, and he will try to get lucky. Now I have scattered my army to raise food in all directions, showing emptiness. When the enemy hears that our army is scattered, he will take advantage of the weakness to come, and our army will secretly lie in ambush, and will be ready to fight and kill him. ”

Zhu Neng and the others sighed: "Your Highness is clever, so you are invincible." ”

King Yan also sighed: "With Zhang Yu here, there is no need to work hard." Victory and defeat are common, not enough to calculate, and hate to lose jade ears. When it's tough, I don't have a good help. ”

The generals wept when they heard this.

The next day, King Yan ordered the army to scatter and go out of the camp to get food, and ordered the Yan soldiers to pretend to be people, carry babies on their shoulders, pretend to flee, and scatter into Zhending City, spreading the news that King Yan's army was scattered to get food, and the camp was unprepared.

After hearing the news, Ping An believed it to be true, so he sent troops to kill the Hutuo River, wanting to take advantage of the Yan army's unpreparedness, killing him by surprise, and also making a great contribution, so as to pay homage to the marquis.

On the sixth day of the third month of the leap month, the Malay newspaper reported that the Ping'an Army had reached the north of Hutuo River, and it was only 70 miles away from our army.

King Yan was overjoyed and said to the generals: "Ping Bao'er was really fooled. It's really self-defeating, and I dare to come to fight. For example, the tiger of the milk dog and the fighting raccoon of the female, although there is a fighting spirit, he is looking for his own death. And Sheng Yong has been defeated, and now he is coming back, this day wants me to defeat the Southern Army twice. Then he ordered the army to cross the river and attack him.

Shi Yuan Heng was on the side, pinched his fingers, and whispered to King Yan: "Your Highness, today is the day of the defeat of the ten evils, the soldiers are jealous, do not use the sword and soldiers, it is too late, please cross the river tomorrow." ”

King Yan has a lot of respect for Yuan Hui on weekdays, and he can almost be said to be obedient, but today's face changed and said: "Mr. Yuan, I am doing everything possible to lure the enemy into battle, but now the enemy has entered the army, and the sheep has entered the tiger's mouth, so I can abandon it lightly." If the thief detects that my army is on the side, flees back to Zhending, and does not come out, I can't succeed in the war, I can't retreat, but suffers from it, I am stuck in a small taboo, and I am mistaken for a big thing. ”

Zhu Di then rode his horse to cross first, Zheng He took the bridle first, the water did not cover his chest and abdomen, Zheng He turned back to Yan Wang and said: "The water is several feet deep, the cavalry can cross, but the infantry is in danger of drowning." ”

Zhu Di ordered the cavalry to follow him to cross the Hutuo River from the upper reaches first, and then ordered the soldiers to build a dam to stop the flow of water, the downstream water was suddenly shallow, and the infantry crossed the river from the downstream, after all the baggage was crossed, Zhu Di first led 3,000 cavalry to the west along the river, not twenty miles, and when the two sides came into contact, the southern army immediately retreated and set up camp in Gaocheng.

King Yan was afraid that he would lead the army back safely, so he led dozens of horsemen to chase closely, and rested a few miles away from the enemy camp to make a suspicious plan.

The southern army saw it in the village, hurriedly reported peace, and climbed the watchtower safely, only to see a few miles away, the Yan army set up dozens of tents, bonfires, and it seemed that there were only one hundred and eighty people at most, but the Yan soldiers laughed, as if nothing happened, he was suspicious, and said to the left and right: "This must be the Yan thief's plan to lure the enemy, and you should not act rashly." ”

Tomorrow, Ping'an will form a phalanx of the army and wait for the Yan army to attack in the southwest.

King Yan immediately stood on a high slope, watched the battle, and said to the generals: "The phalanx is surrounded by enemies on all sides, how can it win!" I attack one corner of the enemy with elite troops, and if the enemy is defeated, the rest will collapse by itself. ”

So King Yan ordered Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaoxu, and Li Bin to each lead an army to attack three sides, while the elite cavalry of King Yan attacked the northeast corner of the country and fought with the southern army.

Ping'an erected a tall building in the middle of the formation, which was several feet high, and personally climbed the tower to look at the Yan army, and commanded the whole army to fight.

The prince of Yan led the horse, along the Hutuo River, and broke through from the northeast corner of the southern army after going around the formation, shouting and fighting, and killed in the formation.

Ping An saw it on the tall building, and hurriedly ordered the southern army to release arrows, and for a time the arrows rained down, and the big banner behind King Yan was full of arrows, as dense as hedgehog hair.

The cavalry of the Yan army were shot off their horses, and as soon as the king of Yan looked up and saw Ping An commanding on the watchtower, he led dozens of elite horsemen to rush towards the watchtower.

Ping'an saw it upstairs, waved the command flag in his hand, and the southern army of the brigade rushed up and surrounded King Yan, so that he could behead King Yan and others off the horse.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, blowing until the sky was dark, the house uprooted the trees, and the watchtower was crumbling.

Ping'an was shocked and hurriedly climbed down the watchtower, and the southern army lost its command and was in chaos for a while. The Yan army took this opportunity and struck hard, and the southern army was defeated.

The soldiers of King Yan surrounded on all sides, beheaded more than 60,000 people, chased them until the city of Zhending, and captured their generals Deng Jian, Chen Peng, etc., obtained all the military equipment, and escaped into the city safely, without leaving the door.

King Yan sent an envoy to return the big banner full of arrows to Beiping, and told the prince: "Keep this flag carefully to show future generations, so that you can know the difficulties of Fengtian today." Governor Gu Cheng cried when he saw the flag, and said to the prince Zhu Gaochi: "The minister has been in the army since he was a child, and he fought in the east and west with Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

It is strange to say, Yan soldiers from the Baigou River to the Jiahe River, and even Gaocheng, three battles and three victories, all with the help of strong winds, it seems that there is a providence in the dark.

After the two defeats of the southern army, Sheng Yong and Ping'an defended themselves in the city and did not dare to come out. The Yan soldiers then slightly Shunde, Guangping, and Hebei counties were more descended. In the summer of April, the Yan soldiers came to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the officials of the Daimyo's Mansion came out to welcome the King of Yan, kowtowed, and said, "I don't want to see Your Highness again today." "Zhu Di, the king of Yan, proudly entered the city.

King Yan wrote to the court here, called the minister Yan Wang Di, and roughly said: "Qi and Huang cut the clan and wanted to add to the death, so they used soldiers to defend themselves, and they had no choice but to do so." When the army arrived, every time it destroyed itself, the ministers did not dare to be happy, and they used to mourn. Biwen Qitai and Huang Zicheng have all been expelled, and the Chen family is happy to have a rehabilitation. And the soldiers all said: 'I'm afraid it's not sincere, let me be baited.' Otherwise, Wu Jie, Ping'an, and Sheng Yong should be summoned, and now in the realm of Juji, it is the traitorous ministers who carry out their plans. 'The minister thought about his words, but he was afraid that the personnel might also be the same, so he did not dare to release the army. But Your Majesty will do it without being blinded by treachery. ”

In the book of King Yan, Emperor Jianwen showed Fang Xiaoru and said: "As Si said, the song is in the imperial court, and Qi and Huang misunderstand me!" ”

Fang Xiaoru was deeply evil, and said: "This is the lobbying words of King Yan, and Your Majesty must not ignore it." ”

Emperor Jianwen said again: "This uncle is also." I don't see the gods of the temple every day! ”

Fang Xiaoru said angrily: "Your Majesty really wants to stop the army!" That is, as soon as the soldiers are dismissed, they cannot be reunited, and they are long to drive the offenders, how can they resist it? May Your Majesty not be confused. ”

Emperor Jianwen said with a sad face: "Our army has been defeated twice, and it is unbearable to fight again. ”

Fang Xiaoru ordered someone to spread out the map, pointed to the terrain around Beiping Mansion and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the armies are gathered, the Yan soldiers have been detained for a long time, and the summer rain is bitter, and they will stop without a fight." His Majesty can urgently order the generals of Liaodong to enter the Shanhaiguan and attack Yongping, and the generals of Zhending will cross the Lugou Bridge and go straight to Beiping. If the lair is lost, it will definitely come back, and I will follow it with a large army, and the king of Yan will be captured. It is advisable to report to him now, and it will take time to go back and forth, as a plan to delay the army. He understands and everyone leaves, and I plan and merge, and I can win a big victory. ”

Emperor Jianwen nodded and said, "Okay, this plan is wonderful." "Then he ordered Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict, pardon the sins of King Yan's father and son and all the soldiers, return to the country, do not pre-empt the military government, and still restore the king, and always be a vassal auxiliary. and sent the criminal department Shangshu Tyrant Zhao to the Daimyo's Mansion to give an order.

After more than ten days of walking on the road, he came to the Yan army camp outside the city of the Daimyo's mansion, and explained his intention to the camp sergeant, the sergeant went in and came out after a while, and introduced him into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Tyranny Zhao took out the holy decree from his arms, and just wanted to read it, a pro-soldier next to him snatched it, held it in both hands and handed it to King Yan, King Yan read the scroll, and said: "Violent Shangshu, I haven't seen it for many years, but my body has lost a lot, presumably because I am too much, and I don't think about tea and dinner." ”

Storm Zhao arched his hand and said: "King Yan is still as good as ever, and he is not ashamed of committing trouble." ”

Zhu Gaoxu next to him heard this, brushed it out, took out the sword, stepped forward, put the sword across the neck of Tyrant Zhao, and shouted: "Bold maniac, dare to be disrespectful to my father, see if I don't kill you today." ”

Storm Zhao's face did not change and said: "Does Your Highness dare to do it?" ”

King Yan waved his hand, signaled Zhu Gaoxu to retreat, and said to Storm Zhao: "Let's talk less nonsense." When you were leaving, what did the emperor say? ”

Violent Zhao said: "The emperor is full of sincerity, and if His Royal Highness releases his armor and respects filial piety, he will be a class teacher at dusk." ”

King Yan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the soldiers in the tent and continued, "You ask me if the soldiers in the tent agree?" ”

The generals rose up and shouted loudly at the tyrannical Zhao: "The court has no faith in its words, so it should be beheaded." ”
