Three days later, Yang Wen led 50,000 Liaodong Army horsemen to Shanhaiguan. The King of Liao and his family led a thousand guards from the mouth of the Shuangtaizi River to the south in dozens of ocean-covering ships, and Zhang Shixing and Zhang Shixing walked with him.

These ships were originally shipped from Liujiagang, Taicang, Suzhou Prefecture to Liaodong, each ship is six zhang long at the bottom, one zhang and one foot long at the head, one zhang and one foot long at the tip, and one zhang and one foot wide at the bottom, and there are two masts of size on the ship, each ship can carry grain 560 stones, and 11 people are equipped with foreign flag soldiers to operate the ship.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the diversion of the Yellow River, wars were still frequent, and the canal from Dongping to Linqing in Shandong Province would be silted up through the river, resulting in poor transportation and the need for land transshipment. Since the Hongwu period, the shipping is prosperous, and the grain and salary in Beiping and Liaodong are all dependent on the sea, and the fleet first departs from Taicang Liujiagang, stops at Dagukou, and then transships to Beiping and Liaodong respectively. On the return trip, I transferred one, first to Dagukou to meet, and then returned to Liujiagang.

After two days of turbulence on the sea, the boat traveled to the mouth of Dagu at the mouth of the Wei River (today's Jinhai River) into the sea, where Storm Zhao waved goodbye to everyone, changed to a shallow-bottomed boat full of grain, and went to Xiongxian along the west of the Wei River. After the King of Liao, Zhang Shixing and others replenished dry food and fresh water at the mouth of Dagu, they joined other sea-covering ships and continued south.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, heard that the imperial court had sent a three-way army to attack in Beiping, and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, and the Daoyan monk and the scholar Yuan Heng were also invited to attend the meeting.

Zhu Di pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, led an army of 300,000 Beijing Divisions to Zhending to prepare for the Northern Expedition. Liu Zhen, the governor of the Later Army, led 100,000 Daning troops and horses to Songting Pass, preparing to go south. Yang Wen, the governor of the left army, led 50,000 Liaodong troops and horses to Shanhaiguan and prepared to attack westward. The enemy army is ten times larger than mine, how do you think you will fight the enemy? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, looked at each other, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhu Neng, the governor of the same governor, said with a smile: "The military is not expensive, and my Beiping guards have gone out of the fortress several times with His Royal Highness King Yan, and they have all won a great victory, which can be called an elite soldier in a hundred battles." And the guards of the Jingshi have not heard the sound of the golden drum for more than ten years, how can they fight again. In addition, Geng Hou, Guo Hou, Liu Zhen and others are all seventy years old, and they are really vulnerable. I intend to go north to Songting Pass to defeat Liu Zhen, and then defeat Yang Wen after detouring to Shanhaiguan, and finally go south to take the power of a great victory, and fight to the death with Geng Hou, and I will definitely be able to win a big victory. ”

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, slapped the table and said excitedly: "Okay, fuck it." ”

Qianhu Qiufu, Huo Zhen and other military generals responded one after another.

Zhang Yu, the governor of the capital, frowned, shook his head and said: "Songting Pass and Shanhaiguan are all Xiongguan in the world, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Liu Zhen, Yang Wen and others can't hold out, we can't attack for a long time, Geng Hou led his troops to the north, we are the enemy on our backs, and there is a risk of annihilation of the whole army." ”

Zhu Nengdao: "Then it is the same for our army to attack the south, Geng Hou has an army of 300,000, and this person is known for being good at defending." In the past, Zhang Shicheng and Emperor Taizu Gao fought for the world, Changxing County, Huzhou Prefecture was the place where the two families must fight, Geng Hou was ordered to guard Changxing, and in ten years, he was outnumbered and outnumbered, and he was invincible, so that Zhang Shicheng could not go further west, and finally perished. Now that the enemy is outnumbered, I attack the enemy and defend, how to defeat the enemy. If the enemy in the south is not defeated, and the enemy in the north comes, our army is also in danger of annihilation. ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "I intend to fight the southern soldiers first, and the southern soldiers come from the north, the water and soil are not adapted, the terrain is unknown, and our army can be broken in one fell swoop." But now there is a problem, when our army goes south, it is better for the northern army to watch from the sidelines. ”

The prince Zhu Gao Chiqi said: "How can this be done, is it difficult to let my father give them an order to stay put." ”

Everyone was amused by his words, and Zhu Di also smiled: "If only they could obey Lone's orders." ”

Dao Yan said seriously: "The prince can send a few letters to Liu Zhen, Yang Wen and others as a delaying tactic." ”

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and said, "The great monk might as well say it and listen to it." ”

Dao Yan stroked his beard and said slowly: "Liu Zhen, the military and horse governor of Daning, is old and frail, so there is no need to worry. Chen Heng once commanded the left guard of Yanshan, and he had been out of the fortress several times with His Royal Highness, and he had a friend of life and death, and the righteousness of the robe should be used by me. They all command Bu Wan to be young and promising, brave and good at fighting, and he is my great enemy, and he should try to get rid of it. ”

Zhu Di said: "Okay, this king will immediately write a letter to summon him to return and add him to the rank of knight." ”

Dao Yan shook his head and said: "His person is already the governor of the second grade, and it may be difficult to attract the addition of officials to the knighthood, so he must send someone to say it face to face, and he will be reasonable and emotional, so that it can work." ”

Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan and said, "Then bother Master Lao to go." ”

Dao Yan hurriedly supported Zhu Di and said angrily: "Your Highness, why should you be polite, I persuaded the king to raise troops at the beginning, and when this time of crisis, I will not go to hell, who will go to hell." ”

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Di held Dao Yan's hands tightly and said, "It is enough to meet a master in my life." I will repair a letter here, and persuade Chen Heng with kind words and persuade him to return. ”

Dao Yan shook his head and said: "This matter is urgent, just let him sit and watch the success or failure now." His Royal Highness can repair a letter to the commander of Nadu Bu Wan, expressing his admiration, and denouncing Liu Zhen and Chen Heng for being old and unbearable, and the old man is useful. ”

Zhu Di asked someone to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, according to Dao Yan's meaning, he immediately wrote a letter to Bu Wan, after Dao Yan read it, nodded with satisfaction, put it in the envelope, and put it in his arms.

Zhu Gaochi and the others were stunned by the sidelines, and then asked, "Master, how to deal with the soldiers and horses of Liaodong?" ”

Dao Yan smiled: "Concoct it as it is." Although the Liaodong military horses were led by Yang Wen into the customs, they were finally handed over to Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin. That Yang Wen is also a martyr, the post of governor is also his own knife and a gun to fight for his life, Wu Gao has no size of merit, but he attacked his father, but he is on it, I think that Yang Wen can be convinced, the two must have dirty, His Royal Highness should use a divisive plan, give the two of them a book, praise the two, but change the envelope, so that the two are suspicious of each other, as long as one person is removed, the Liaodong military horse will definitely stop. "Guangxi

Zhu Di clapped the case and shouted: "What a discordant plan." The master is really my Zhang Zifang. Which one dares to deliver a letter? ”

Xiangshi Yuan Heng stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, my disciple Hu Ying is very courageous, and he is also strong in martial arts, but I can order him to go to the next book, and I will not disgrace my mission." ”

Zhu Di said well, so he wrote two letters to Wu Gao and Yang Wen respectively, mixed the envelopes, and handed them to Yuan Hui.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "The north is worry-free, I can concentrate on facing the south." ”

Zhang Yu said: "There is also the king of Zhongning all the way, leading thousands of cavalry to arrive at the Juyong Pass, harassing the border pass, it is necessary to guard against it." ”

Zhu Di said: "The rest are not afraid, but the Queen Mother of Zhongning, Tana, is deeply worried, this woman is ruthless and vicious, I heard that the Lanyu case was set off by her." ”

Zhu Gaochi, the son of the world, said: "I heard my mother say that when she opened the domain, my aunt and her got along very well, so it is better to let my aunt persuade her with kind words, and don't come to join in the fun." ”

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Okay, you go and talk to your aunt." Ask her to work hard, meet the Queen Mother of Zhongning, be humble and polite, stabilize her first, and don't let her get into trouble. ”

Zhu Gaochi bowed his hand and said, "Obey." ”

Zhu Di finally concluded: "Everything should be left behind, and this king will send another thousand elite soldiers to garrison Juyong Pass, Xifengkou, and Yongping Mansion respectively to prevent the plan from failing, just in case." The whole army immediately went south, with Zhang Yu as the vanguard, Zhu Neng followed, I led the Chinese army myself, and the soldiers were sent to Xiongxian County, so I caught him off guard first. The prince stayed in Beiping, supplemented by Zhang Xin, to respond to all parties. ”

Everyone bowed their hands in unison: "Yes." ”

——————

Dao Yan took a little apprentice out of the Xifeng Pass, two people and two horses, heading north, on both sides of the strange rocks, the mountains are gradually steep, the road is narrow, only through people and horses. The Songting Pass was located one hundred and twenty miles northeast of Xifengkou, and the two of them trekked hard for two days, and at dusk, they came to the Songting Pass.

At this moment, the gate is about to be closed, and no passage is allowed, Dao Yan took out his name and said to the sergeant guarding the pass: "Lao Wei is an old friend of Chen Dudu, please report it." ”

The sergeant guarding the pass looked him up and down, and saw that the Daoyan looked like a sick tiger and had a majestic aura, so he went inside, and came out after a while, and said to him: "Great monk, Chen Dudu has an invitation, please come with me." Dao Yan saw the people in the city shouting horses along the road, full of soldiers, all of them were strong and murderous, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened, this Daning military horse is really strong, if they are allowed to enter the pass, Beiping is in danger.

While he was pondering, the guard led him into a large compound, came to the east wing, and said inwardly, "Governor Yudu, Monk Daoyan has brought it." ”

An old voice came from inside the room, "Please come in." ”

The guard made a gesture of please, and Dao Yan ordered the apprentice to stay outside the door and step into the house by himself. I saw an old man sitting on the chair of the tiger skin in the middle of the middle, under the candlelight, his hair was white, but he was full of energy, it was Chen Heng, the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion.

Chen Heng looked up and saw that it was Dao Yan, hurriedly got up to welcome Dao Yan in, ordered his subordinates to serve refreshments, and after the greetings were over, he retreated left and right, and asked quietly: "At this very time, what is the master doing here?" ”

Dao Yan smiled and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha family has a cloud: saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." Chen Dudu once served as the commander of the left guard of Yanshan, and he was also fated to the old man, so the old man didn't want to see you die, so he came to save your life. ”

Chen Heng sneered: "Great monks are used to coaxing people, I think I will save your life." ”

Dao Yan sneered: "Governor Chen, you are dying, and you dare to be hard-mouthed, don't you see Song Zhonghu, the governor of the left army?" ”

Chen Heng was startled when he heard this, and said, "I heard that he died in the battle of Huailai. ”

Dao Yan snorted and said, "It turns out that Governor Chen also knows about this." Song Zhong led 50,000 people at that time, and His Royal Highness King Yan only had 8,000 light cavalry, and killed Yu Zhen, Sun Tai and other generals in a battle, and Song Zhong was also seriously injured and died in Kaipingwei. Now His Royal Highness King Yan has 100,000 elite soldiers, which is enough to sweep the world, Chen Dudu, you have also followed His Royal Highness King Yan to the Northern Expedition to Mengyuan, do you think you are His Royal Highness's opponent? ”

Chen Heng was silent, and after a long time, he said: "I can guard Songting Pass and not fight with King Yan." ”

Dao Yan sneered a few more times and said, "I'm afraid it won't be as the governor wants." There are strict decrees of the imperial court, and there are colleagues who are constrained, and the governor wants to guard the Songting Pass but can't, and he can only die to repay the country. ”

Chen Heng was shocked and said, "May the master save me." ”
