Volume 1 Chapter 73 Shameless Villain
The wilderness was filled with smoke, billowing dust, sand and gravel mixed with plant ash, gunsmoke, and debris, as if a muddy flood swept in! The crowds of infantry were like the dikes on the banks of the river, crumbling!
The battlefield has lost control, and the heavens and the earth are like landslides and the earth is cracking...... At this moment, there was a "click" sound, and Li Jinglong looked up to see that the tall handsome flag was blown by the wind!
"Why? Why!" Li Jinglong's sideburns were disheveled, and he opened his arms and screamed in the wind.
The soldiers around him persuaded one after another, this time it was really time to run!
Li Jinglong's face was distorted, his face was pale, and he yelled in annoyance: "Yan Wei was attacked by me back and forth, and he has already been defeated!" Why, who blows the wind? He almost cried, stretched out his hand to grab a general, and shook the man desperately: "Don't blame me this time, really don't blame me, Yan Shun has been defeated!" ”
The man said coldly: "If Li Gongru sends additional reinforcements to Qu Dudu early, do you still have to wait for the wind to blow?" ”
Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and when he looked at it, it turned out that the person in front of him was Sheng Yong. Li Jinglong suddenly said with a complicated expression: "Sheng Yong! Haven't you always been by my side and said that Cao Guogong is wise and Cao Guogong is like a god? ”
Sheng Yong said: "Li Gong lost his teacher twice, do you think there is a third chance?" Li Gong, you're completely finished! Why did the last general say those words against his will? ”
"You ......" Li Jinglong pointed at Sheng Yong, his face flushed, "You shameless villain!" ”
Sheng Yong's face was cold: "No, I'm judging the situation." ”
"Don't be too villainous, see how I calculate the accounts for you!" Li Jinglong scolded.
He was furious, and at this time, the people around him hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Gong Li, everything in front of you has collapsed, hurry up!" ”
The officers and men of the Chinese army soon wrapped themselves around Li Jinglong and turned their horses to run away. Flags, Vehicles, Artillery...... and all kinds of baggage were discarded, and the officers and troops collapsed.
Countless people and horses surged along the Baigou River in the dusty fields, like herds of migrating beasts after a major natural disaster.
Once again, the plains were filled with grandeur and chaos. I don't know how many people and horses ran on this land and were killed. The screaming man could not stir up even a single wave in the sound of the wind and the roar of the horses' hooves, and his life disappeared in an instant into a huge wave, turning into a messy corpse.
The sky was overcast, the dust and fog covered the heavens and the earth, and many officers and soldiers were dragged to the bay of the Baigou River without braiding their horses, and there was no way forward, and there were pursuers behind. I don't know how many people were squeezed into the river.
Officers and soldiers in armor fluttered in the river, stirring the water turbid, and at a glance, the surface of the river seemed to be the surface of the water with nets being raised, dense fish struggling, and the river seemed to be boiling.
…… A large number of officers and soldiers fled south day and night, and there were countless dead and wounded along the way, and corpses were everywhere. Li Jinglong arrived in Texas first and gathered some of the men, but when he heard that Yan Shi immediately chased after him, he immediately took the rest of the people and continued to run south.
A few days later, the Shandong political envoy sent people to the Daji River to meet the official army, built a pontoon bridge, and the remnants of the official army retreated directly to Shandong and rushed into Jinan City.
……
"King Gaoyang, King Yan ordered all the tribes to gather towards the Daji River!" The soldiers who delivered the military orders shouted, and dismounted to show the seals.
Zhu Gaoxu responded: "Obey my father's military order!" ”
At this time, it was getting late, and Zhu Gaoxu did not hurry, so he ordered the troops to choose a place to camp. After dinner, he immediately went to the tent where Qu Neng and his son were watching.
Zhu Gaoxu personally picked off Qu Neng's shirt, observed the wound, and said with a sigh of relief: "The weather is getting warmer, General Qu's wound has not deteriorated, it should be fine." Although this kind of skin trauma does not hurt the muscles and bones, it is most afraid of suppuration. ”
"King Gaoyang......" Qu Neng looked at him suspiciously.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "I escaped from Beijing last year and was blocked by Ling Gongzi in Zhuozhou. ”
"Oh?" Qu Neng turned his head to look at Qu Liangcai.
Qu Liangcai immediately shook his head and said, "At that time, my son really did his best!" After all, the prince of King Yan, the king of Gaoyang, and the third prince are all clans, and the court has not issued a killing order, how dare the son hurt their lives? Bows, arrows, knives and guns don't dare to be used, only the method of not hurting lives, rope nets, sticks and everything is used! However, his son's skills are not as good as others, and dozens of people still can't beat the siege, so he has to admit defeat......"
Zhu Gaoxu pressed Qu Liangcai's wrist, stared at his face and said, "Gongzi Qu did have a show of affection for his subordinates, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make a difference in the imperial court, is that so?" ”
Qu Liangcai looked dazed, and turned his head to look at Qu Neng again.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "When you get to King Yan, you have to say this and tell the truth!" ”
Qu Neng pondered for a moment and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "I understand what King Gaoyang means." ”
"That's good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded. Ginger is still old and spicy!
Qu Neng said: "Although you and I are our own masters, but the king of Gaoyang treats him with sincerity, and the king of the county gives me face, I can't help but continue." It's just that...... I'm afraid it's useless! The battle of Baigou River, luring King Yan into ambush, and making a detour with Ping'an to attack Yan Shi, it was all my idea, and I almost injured King Yan's life, and King Yan will never let me go. ”
"It is better to die a happy death than to be humiliated to death. What's more, if I don't descend to King Yan, my family can still be saved. Qu Neng frowned again and said, "King Gaoyang is kind, Qu has a heart." ”
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized when he heard this: "I just think that Li Jinglong is not so godly, it turns out that it is all General Qu's plan!" Admire, admire! ”
He stood up, bent his back and paced back and forth in the tent, and said in his heart: This Qu Neng is really a general's talent. This kind of person is hard to find, not only is he born with qualifications, but he also needs to be trained in a certain position, and he can't find it at all in the county king's mansion!
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were bright, and he said in a low voice: "General Qu, don't worry, even if I open my head, I will definitely protect you!" ”
"Why?" Qu Neng asked.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: "The lion will always die, but it shouldn't die in this kind of gutter, I can't see it." In the Ming Dynasty, there was a bigger place that needed people like General Qu. ”
He looked at Qu Neng's eyes as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.
Qu Neng was speechless.
Zhu Gaoxu whispered again: "Don't worry too much, you don't have to be silent when you ask, as long as you don't scold King Yan, I have my own plans." ”
Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the tent, looked at Chen Dazhui who was standing outside, and said, "Treat them with good meat and good food." ”
"Yes, lord." Chen Da Hammer hugged his fist.
Zhu Gaoxu took two steps forward, stopped again, and turned to look at Chen Dazhui: "When we first arrived in Yongpingwei last year, what you said that night made sense. ”
Chen Dazhui hurriedly said: "The last general doesn't know what he said. ”
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, stopped talking, and then put his hand down again, and didn't say anything.
He walked slowly back and forth beside the tent, and when he looked up, the fire in the barracks was lit one after another, and the stars in the sky were gradually covering the sky. In countless nights like this, Zhu Gaoxu had thought about a lot of things, and it wasn't until he recently got Qu Neng that his thinking gradually became a little more eyebrow......
His situation is definitely not something that can be changed overnight, let alone because of one or two things, things are far more complicated than he once imagined! Last year, he believed that at least he should accumulate strength early.
However, what is the strength?
is a person, Zhu Gaoxu needs a group of weighty people.
The people inside the Yanwang Mansion can fight for it, but it is far from enough, those people will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister in the future, even if they have a tendency and more reservations; Moreover, digging the foot of the wall from King Yan's hands will also greatly arouse King Yan's vigilance.
But now, Zhu Gaoxu has finally discovered another kind of person...... Jianwen's people!
…… If the glory and wealth of the world are compared to a piece of cake, then once the Jianwen court fails, the cake will be spit out. The people of the Yanwang family are fat, and there is not much reason to play with their lives. Only those who have lost the cake have a sufficient need for struggle, and a new representative of profit and benefit is urgently needed!
Of course, there will be many people on Jianwen's side who are desperate for failure, hugging the old broken boat and playing together. But there must be some people who are not reconciled, the old ship can't hold on, who will be their protector?
Zhu Gaoxu puffed up his chest and remembered Mencius's words: Who else can I be!
If everyone has a common demand, why can't we huddle together for warmth?
Zhu Gaoxu is the son of King Yan, so he is his own people, and those people in the Jianwen Dynasty are enemies? It would be ridiculous to be limited to this kind of thinking!
If the situation is different, the enemy and the enemy will be completely different! Now everyone in the Yanwang Mansion is regarded as their own people, and the enemy is Jianwen Junchen...... But once the external enemies on King Yan's side are gone, there will be a big trouble between his own people and a great enmity for killing his father. Blocking people's money is like killing parents, can there be no hatred?
The wind in the night was already cold, but Zhu Gaoxu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
This is a bold idea, in case it is discovered by King Yan, he will immediately be suspicious of "ill intentions".
However, as soon as he thought about it: if he gave a few thousand soldiers and horses to a person like Qu Neng, it was very likely that he would kill 100,000 troops...... Zhu Gaoxu's desire for victory in his heart could not be restrained!
Gambler, in his previous life, he was not voluntarily put on this hat, but he was forced to stop it out of desperation. But in his previous life, he gambled on some games that he was bound to lose; Playing big in this life, he feels that he doesn't necessarily have to lose.
Another psychology of gamblers has been stimulated: luck. Zhu Gaochu couldn't help but think: Even if King Yan is extremely smart, can he really understand Zhu Gaoxu's strange thinking?
Can King Yan think of it?
In any case, Zhu Gaoxu is now only thinking about the scrapped resources in the hands of the Jianwen Imperial Court, and he has little motivation to help King Yan fight the country...... After laying down the country, in the end, they are all the eldest son's family, and Lao Tzu is waiting to be cleared by the "meritorious master"?
If it weren't for the fear that the "butterfly effect" would have smashed the cake of the Yanwang family, and everyone would have stared dryly, Zhu Gaoxu wouldn't want to fight at all.
The history of King Gaoyang believed King Yan's words and felt that there were ghosts in the world, so he happily raised his head to help others make wedding dresses, right?
