"Long way?" Zhu Zhi thought for a moment, and then said: "He is the original judge of the Qi Palace, why, he has so much power?" ”

Zhu Shou said: "I was also surprised at first, and then I asked many people repeatedly, only to find out that this rebellion was started by this person, and everyone else was coerced. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

It's a little funny to say, but before that, the court didn't know who coerced Zhu Rong to launch this rebellion. However, this is also the norm at this time, because the level of communication is extremely backward, and if the rebel side does not openly raise its banner, it is difficult to know who actually started the rebellion. At the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, it took a long time for the Ming court to understand that the famous 'King Chuang' was Gao Yingxiang and 'Cao Cao' was Luo Rucai, and then they knew their life origins.

Zhu Zhi said: "He is a royal court trial, regardless of the army or the people, how did he launch a rebellion? ”

Zhu Shou said: "He coerced the original henchmen of the King of Qi Waste, and the guards of the Qi Palace, and ...... the wives and concubines of the King of Qi Waste, and then these people had to follow him to the death." After that, he forged a holy decree to trick the king of Qi Sanwei out of the city, and then took control of all the families of the generals of the king of Qi and forced them to follow him in rebellion. ”

"After that, their rebellion became bigger and bigger, and it has reached the point where even if they return to the court with a few people anyway, it is a capital crime, and their families have always been under the control of Lu Yuan, so they can only follow him to rebel."

Zhu Zhi said: "I see. But he immediately thought, "Then all these people's families are now in our hands?" ”

Zhu Shou replied, "Yes." ”

Zhu Zhi said: "Then let's? ”

Zhu Shou: "That's it. ”

Zhu Zhi said: "There is finally good news. Although they didn't understand what they said, they understood what they meant.

After that, Zhu Zhi asked, "When are we going to send troops to Jinan?" The messenger from Laizhou yesterday urged us to march into Jinan immediately. ”

Zhu Shou said: "Your Majesty's strategy is too risky, the entire front army is only 70,000 people, in case King Yan goes south to enter Jinan regardless of Beiping, and if we can't arrive on time, there is a risk of being completely defeated by internal and external attacks, and even Your Majesty may be captured alive." If His Majesty is really captured alive, then this rebellion can be said to be ....... ”

However, although Zhu Zhi felt that what Zhu Shou said made sense, he could understand why Yun Xi would choose a somewhat risky method.

Zhu Zhi then said: "Zhu Shou, you don't want ink, when will we leave?" "Zhu Shou had trained in western Liaoning before, and Zhu Zhi was quite familiar with him, so he spoke casually.

Zhu Shou said: "It can only be done as soon as possible." Rest for the night tonight and leave tomorrow! ”

Zhu Zhi said in surprise: "Leave tomorrow?" How did the soldiers get here? At least take an extra day off! ”

Zhu Shou smiled and said, "If you walk on two legs, you naturally can't rest, but I didn't say that we walked on two legs." ”

"Qingzhou City is close to Beiyang Water in the west, and Beiyang Water is connected to Xiaoqing River, you can take a boat from here all the way to Zhangqiu County, and then go to Jinan City. Although this kind of march made a long detour, it was possible to march day and night by boat, and most of the soldiers did not have any fatigue, so it was faster than walking. ”

"I had already thought about how to get to Jinan City from Qingzhou before I set off for Laizhou Mansion, so the boat can arrive tonight today, so I don't have to worry."

Since Zhu Shou said so, then of course Zhu Zhi is not worried. Zhu Zhi also smiled: "The old general really deserves to be a battle-hardened general, and he thinks about everything in front." ”

The two discussed some things again, and Zhu Shou said: "Now write an excerpt to Your Majesty, and inform Your Majesty when we will be able to go to the vicinity of Jinan, as well as the disposal of these captives in Qingzhou City, and other things." ”

Hearing Zhu Shou's words, Zhu Zhi's face also became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "It just so happens that I also have something to tell Your Majesty." ”

==========================================

On the same day, at the foot of Lishan in the south of Jinan.

Zhu Jiye stood up very seriously and looked at Lan Zhen and said, "No, I will never agree!" Now that Jinan City is still in the hands of the rebels, you have to send troops to the north, and it is impossible to maintain the back road, so that your back road will inevitably be cut off, and it is impossible to get enough food supplies, in case you fail to take Texas, then there is a risk of annihilation! ”

It turned out that after Lan Zhen led his troops through the complex terrain of the Tai'an area, he took control of Lishan and stationed troops under the city of Jinan. Later, Lan Zhen learned through interrogation of the captives that there were only about 10,000 troops stationed in Jinan City, although the 30,000 people who defended the city could not easily defeat them, but they had no strength to go out of the city.

Therefore, Lan Zhen proposed a very risky plan: taking advantage of the fact that the rebel army had not left the city of Jinan too far, he led 20,000 main forces to cross the Daqing River to pursue, catch up with the rebels led by Lu Yuan before they reached Dezhou, and then crush the rebels in Shandong in the field.

Of course, Zhu Jiye couldn't agree to such a risky war plan, so the two quarreled in the big tent.

Zhu Jiye said again: "Lan Zhen, if it is only to quell the rebellion in Shandong, although this strategy has some risks, it is not very big, the northbound army of Shandong is only 30,000, you may not have a chance to defeat them." ”

"But now Uncle Yan Wang has a ninety percent chance of rebelling! Although His Majesty didn't tell too many people about this news, at least the two of us in the former army knew. Even if you lead the troops to defeat the rebellion, but in case Uncle Yan Wang has already arrived in Texas, you will have no way out. ”

"Uncle Yan Wang is a battle-hardened general, after noticing that you are leading your troops to go deep alone, even if he originally had the intention of retreating north, he will definitely attack you in the south immediately. There are more than 50,000 people in the three guards of Yanwang, and you are definitely not an opponent to lead 30,000 people. ”

What the two of them were talking about was not suitable for the other generals to hear, so the big tent where the two of them were located was very tightly sealed, and although the candles were lit, it was still not very bright.

Lan Zhen's face was hidden in the dim candlelight, so that Zhu Jiye couldn't see his expression clearly, but Lan Zhen's as firm voice sounded again: "In order for the imperial court to be able to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, it's nothing to take some risks!" ”

Moreover, Lan Zhen raised his head at this time, allowing Zhu Jiye to see the determined look on his face: "I am the commander of the vanguard army, plus the total rank, you are just my deputy general." So you have no right to oppose my orders. ”

Zhu Jiye never imagined that he would move out of such a way. Although it is true that he is only a lieutenant general, but because he is a clan, the general will generally consider their orders.

Zhu Jiye said loudly but helplessly: "Lan Zhen, you, you, I will write a report to Your Majesty!" ”

Lan Zhen said: "Even if you write a report to Your Majesty, I will still be the commander of the vanguard army before Your Majesty's order comes. Then he said, "Since you have no other opinions, I will go and give orders." ”

Saying that, Lan Zhen lifted the curtain of the big tent and wanted to get out of the big tent. But Zhu Jiye stopped him, and then abandoned a helpless look, replaced it with a worried expression and said, "Be careful." ”

Lan Zhen smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Then he walked out of the tent.
