Chapter 168: Your Highness's Chance Has Come

From the perspective of the overall strategy, the goal of the fire screen has been achieved, because after the battle in the northwest, the weakness of the three sides of the entire Ming Dynasty has been completely exposed, not to mention the search for sets, and the defense is a problem. In such a situation, what Daming wants to do is to stabilize and stabilize the three sides, rather than sending troops to search for sets.

Even if Da Ming has the heart to search for sets, he has no power to search for sets, and the fire sieve can use this time to gain a firm foothold in the Hetao.

Qin Hong's unhappiness also comes from here, even if he stabilizes the three sides here, the imperial court is still unable to search the set, and when the three sides are stable, at that time, the fire sieve will also gain a firm foothold in the Hetao, and it is basically impossible to search the set. Qin Hong's frustration also comes from this, and his unwillingness also comes from this.

Zhu Hou glanced at Qin Hong, how could he be willing, besides, why did he come to the northwest this time? Walking around with someone? It's better not to come.

Glancing at Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao said quietly: "Qin Qing, how many cavalry can be made up on the three sides?" ”

Qin Hong glanced at Zhu Houzhao, his heart moved, but his face did not change in the slightest, he thought about it and said, "Your Highness wants to search for a set?" However, now that the three sides have just prepared for war, the morale of the army is unstable and morale is low, and it is too difficult to search for it. The fire sieve is brave and good at fighting and scheming, once the search is defeated, the three sides may lose! ”

"The main palace came to the three sides, not to go back after a walk." Zhu Houzhao didn't explain, but just said such a sentence.

"They don't need to do anything, as long as they can fight a tailwind battle, this time this palace will not only search for the set, but also defeat the fire sieve in one fell swoop, so that he will not be able to enter the Hetao."

Qin Hong was really a little hesitant this time, needless to say, the people brought by Zhu Houzhao were really able to fight, they were elite, which Qin Hong could see. However, the three sides cannot afford to lose, once the search is defeated, the three sides will be really in trouble. When the time comes, the northwest will shake, and it will even be able to approach the Jingshi, which is really not worth it.

Seeing Qin Hong's hesitation, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Morale is made, if you don't fight this time, morale will never rise." ”

"If you don't fight this time, the seeds of fear of the fire sieve will be planted, and at that time, even if the three sides are stable, the imperial court will not be able to get out of the jam." Zhu Houzhao said loudly: "When the time comes, Da Ming will be afraid of the Tartars and will not move forward, what is the consequence of this, Qin Qing should know better than this palace, this palace does not want to repeat the mistakes of the weak Song Dynasty." ”

Qin Hong listened to Zhu Houzhao's words, and hesitated slightly, but still spoke: "The three sides can gather 15,000 cavalry." ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he nodded, and then said: "Enough, Qin Qing began to mobilize manpower and gather people, and this time the palace will personally lead the army into the set." ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong was immediately stunned, stood up directly, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, this is absolutely not good, Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you easily get into danger, just a fire sieve, no need to work Your Highness." ”

Zhu Houzhao led people to search for the set, which Qin Hongru couldn't agree to, it was just a joke.

Zhu Houzhao is the only son of His Majesty today, once he makes a mistake, what should he do? How can I explain to His Majesty, how to explain to the court, and how to explain to all the people in the world? Qin Hong couldn't help but think of the change in the civil fort, the pain that the change in the civil fort brought to Daming was too tragic, absolutely not.

Glancing at Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a big head, he knew that it would be like this when he said it, and he couldn't help but say it, this matter must have Qin Hong's cooperation.

Once he sneaks out quietly, the entire northwest will be in chaos, and even the capital will be shaken.

At that time, things will really be big, only Qin Hong stabilizes the northwest and leads people to search for the set, this is the best way. But looking at Qin Hong's attitude, Zhu Houzhao knew that this matter was eighty percent unsuccessful. If he had to go, Qin Hong might do something, but if he really came to death, he might not be treated in any way.

At this time, Wang Shouren also stood up from the side, and said with a serious face: "Your Highness is in danger of the world, how can you easily get into danger?" Just a fire sieve, there is no need for His Highness to make a move, and the minister is willing to enter the set for His Highness. ”

Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Wang Shouren, how could he not know what Wang Shouren was thinking, this guy has always wanted to be Ban Dingyuan, and he has been talking about throwing pen from Rong Ban Dingyuan all day long, this time it can be regarded as an opportunity, how could he forget. But how could Zhu Houzhao be willing to give Wang Shouren such an opportunity, he still wanted to use this battle to establish himself for himself.

There is Taizong's legacy, this evaluation Zhu Houzhao has been thinking about it for a long time, you don't go to the battlefield, you don't lead the army to charge, how can you have Taizong's legacy.

Once this reputation is established, Zhu Houzhao, the prince, will have a high reputation, and lay a foundation for his future policy strategy, and at the same time, it can also deter some people.

"Qin Qing, let's discuss this matter later!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "It's better to gather the people and horses first, anyway, this battle is going to be fought." ”

"No, unless His Royal Highness promises that the minister will not go in person, the minister would rather not go to the search." Qin Hong continued to shake his head, the expression on his face was firm.

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment, he also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to convince this stubborn little old man, and the expression on his face was also very entangled. Just as Zhu Houzhao was pondering how to talk to Qin Hong, a scout suddenly ran in outside, and he said excitedly: "His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, I found the Tartar army." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately stood up excitedly and said loudly: "How many people? ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are more than 10,000!" The scout hurriedly said: "These days, we have been strangling the scouts of the Tartars, and the Tartars have sent a large army to pursue us this time, and our people have fled back, and they have followed, and now they are less than fifty miles away from Guyuan." ”

Wang Shouren, who was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, was also excited, and said loudly: "Okay, it's good, this time you must leave all these ten thousand Tartars." ”

Qin Hong on the side smiled bitterly, these Tartars really came at the right time, in fact, Tartars are bullying people, Qin Hong knows this. People are cavalry, what is the situation on Guyuan's side, it is impossible for the Tartars not to know. In such a situation, people come to Guyuan to show off, and you can't do anything.

If you go out of the city to fight, you can't beat it, and you can't even lose the city, let alone pursue and fight against the cavalry, it's simply impossible.

In such a situation, of course, the Tartars are rampant, and I am only allowed to beat people, not people, how can I not be rampant. Dare to strangle my scouts to see how I retaliate.

Qin Hong looked at the excited Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren, he knew that he couldn't stop this time, but Qin Hong's insistence was still there, that is, the prince couldn't fight, and he must stop the prince from going out of the city to kill the enemy. Glancing at Zhu Houzhao, Qin Hong opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, the Tartars may not be able to attack the city. ”

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Why don't you put up the banner of Prince Ben?" ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong was almost not scared to death, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, absolutely not." ”

If the Tartars know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Guyuan, it will definitely be swarming, and when the time comes, with the city defense of Guyuan, it will not be able to stop it at all, once the prince is lost, then who can afford it, this Royal Highness the Prince is really too worry-free. Zhu Houzhao wants to show Qin Hong, you don't know the strength of His Highness at all.

"Let our people get ready to enter the city, and give them a surprise when the time comes!" Zhu Houzhao stopped arguing with Qin Hong, and turned to Wang Shouren and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements, he was also enthusiastic and excited now.

Qin Hong saluted and said, "Your Highness, the minister is also going to supervise this battle." ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "Qin Qing, why don't you show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy to attack the city?" ”

"Minister, let's arrange it!" Qin Hong nodded, then bowed to Zhu Houzhao, turned around and walked outside. Although he agreed on the surface, Qin Hong didn't think so in his heart. In Qin Hong's opinion, the best thing is to attack the city with the Tartars, and then knock out a tooth and withdraw, so as not to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a chance to leave the city.

You must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen, even a stray arrow may kill people, and it is too dangerous for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go out of the city to fight. They must arrange the city defense well, once the Tartars attack the city, then let them jump a tooth, and then obediently retreat, it is best for them to see the solemn appearance of the army on the city wall, they will withdraw themselves.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Qin Hong was playing this idea, and moved his shoulder, Zhu Houzhao's heart is hot now, he has been practicing for so long, is it not this day?

Leaving the room, Zhu Houzhao quickly climbed to the top of the city, and the ground not far away had already trembled, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was also heard. Although it was not a war horse sprint, the cavalry of 10,000 people still kicked up a lot of smoke and dust. Looking at the past, the expression on Zhu Houzhao's face also became solemn.

Soon the cavalry of the Tartars stopped outside the city of Guyuan, and the Ming army at the head of the city was also ready, and the two sides confronted each other at the head of the city and under the city wall.

"It's coming!"

Qin Hong stood beside Zhu Houzhao, watched a group of Tartar soldiers rushing towards Guyuan City, and hurriedly pulled Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness, get down to the city quickly!" As he spoke, he pulled Zhu Houzhao and walked towards the city.

The Tartar soldiers outside urged their horses to come to the outside of Guyuan City, sat on their horses, stretched their bows and arrows, and shot at the city wall.

The Ming army at the head of the city was a throw-back counterattack, and the first battle between the two sides was started by bows and arrows, and it was very tragic.

Zhu Houzhao, who was standing under the city, could clearly hear the screams of the Ming army on the city wall, and found a battlement to observe, Zhu Houzhao found that the Tartar soldiers were not blind to shoot a few shots, but quickly hit the horse and ran over to shoot, and then ran back.
