After Zhu Gaoxu made up his mind, the progress of things suddenly accelerated.

The officials and families of the Han Dynasty will all move to Guizhou City, and Liu Ying, who is stationed in Guizhou, will arrange the houses.

Xiping Hou Musheng was appointed governor of Sichuan, nominally controlling the three divisions. Li Rangsheng was promoted to the commander of the left capital of Sichuan, taking over from Veda to garrison the Guangyuan area; Wei Da was transferred to Chongqing Prefecture and became the commander of the land and water in eastern Sichuan. The four generals Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Qu Neng, and Wang Bin will be the main commanders of the Han Army's Eastern Crusade.

Zhu Gaoxu transferred troops from all over the country, gathered the elite as much as possible, and was forming a three-way army.

The Northern Route Army was led by Qu Neng and assembled in Guizhou one after another; Zhu Gaoxu of the Middle Route Army personally led, with Wang Bin as the vanguard and Zhao Ping as the deputy general, set out from Guizhou to march to Guangxi; The Southern Route Army was led by Sheng Yong, with Ping An as the main cavalry general, and attacked from Yunnan and marched into Guangxi at the same time.

The total strength of the three-way army will reach 36 guards, more than 200,000 people!

The soldiers and horses in the three places in the southwest are almost empty. Zhu Gaoxu ordered all guards to rely on important towns and dangerous terrain for defense; In the event of an attack, try to delay time as much as possible to gain opportunities for the decisive battle of the main force.

When Zhu Gaoxu discussed with Zhu Wenwu, he believed that in general, the Han Dynasty should invest as many troops as possible in the battle; However, in terms of implementation steps, taking into account the problem of marching and supplying the official roads in the southwest, it is necessary to avoid over-investing troops in various campaigns.

Therefore, he roughly adopted Mr. Li's strategy and divided his troops into three routes. In the first round of attack, only two routes of more than 140,000 cavalry were dispatched, which was enough to deal with Wu Gao's army in Guangxi. The Northern Route Army was the last to gather in Guizhou, and then moved to roughly "enter the Huguang Road", and after the rendezvous, it participated in the decisive battle that might take place west of the Xiangjiang River.

…… The heavy rain that had been falling for several days a while had finally stopped. After three days in the sun, the weather was hot again.

Zhu Gaoxu was busy all morning, and after lunch, he came to the corridor house next to the study.

He often took naps in this place, so the houses around the patio were unoccupied. After he came, he asked the eunuch Wang Gui to guard the entrance, and the whole small courtyard was empty.

Zhu Gaoxu waited in the porch for a while.

The first person to come was Baihu Jin Shi. Jin Shi was originally a guard of the Yan Palace, experienced the "Battle of Jingyan", "Battle of Annan" and other major battles, the year before last in Annan spy plot meritorious service, Zhu Gaoxu fulfilled his promise, has promoted him to 100 households.

"The last general will meet the prince." Jin Shi hugged his fists. He has gained some weight, and it seems that his life as an official is quite comfortable.

Zhu Gaoxu said straight to the point: "When we were in Jiaozhi Province before, Jin Baihu, Chen Xingwang, and Ruan Zhi, a native of Annan, infiltrated Thang Long City together to inquire about the whereabouts of the queen of King Annan. Do you remember Nguyen Chi Ba? ”

Jin Shi bowed down and said, "Back to the prince, I remember!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and asked again: "Does Jin Baihu dare to go to Shenglong to do something?" After completing the errand, I will let you do a thousand households. ”

Jin Shishi's eyes suddenly widened. He really tasted the benefits of being an official, and his eyes were full of anticipation for a while, and he quickly replied: "Why don't you dare?" The prince just commands! ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Shenglong City has been renamed Dongguan, and Ruan Zhi is now an official there. You go south again, try to sneak into Thang Long City, and find Nguyen Chi, a native of Annam.

I will prepare for you the letter from the palace of the Han king, as well as the letter from the former king of Annam, and you can take the things and ask Ruan Zhi to help persuade the military generals of the Guizhou Guard stationed in Shenglong City; persuade the Guizhou military generals to lead their troops back to their hometowns, and the king will treat them favorably. I will also promise Nguyen Chi that if he is willing to do this, the official position of the prefect of Dongguan (Thang Long) will be his. ”

Jin Shishi bowed: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked him to repeat what he was going to do in person, and then asked him to prepare the trip.

After a while, Chen Dazhui, the left town envoy and Zhang Sheng, the right town envoy who guarded the north division of the Imperial Mansion, walked into the door.

After seeing the salute, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "He Fu is very important in this battle, and he has to put two people around him." If there is important news, you should try to pass it back, and at the same time urge He Fu to think about the Han Wangjun. ”

Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "The generals, civil officials, and eunuchs around He Fu are not our people, and He Fu has military power and can't do anything, so don't rush too much; But if you have the opportunity, you can ask He Fu to write a handwritten letter, and this king will help him take his family out of Beijing.

Usually in the general's tent, the imperial court will also install brocade guards and secret agents. So you must be careful not to reveal your identity! ”

The two of them bowed together: "The last general must be remembered!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while, pondering in his heart...... This He Fu is not willingly loyal to the Han Palace, he is because he was coerced! Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu can neither persecute him too much, nor let it go, but must grasp the severity and tightness.

However, if He Fu is willing to do something big, such as a mutiny, Zhu Gaoxu will of course like to hear it! As for Ho Fook's family, he will do his best; Whether it can be done or not, I will talk about it after I have promised it.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said, "You say it again, what is your origin?" ”

Chen Dazhui hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Li Sheng, the Cangzhou Guard, was promoted by the Marquis of Ning Yuan to be the commander of the small banner of the pro-soldiers during the Jianwen period. Zhang Sheng immediately continued: "The villain is Li Sheng's cousin Daniel Zhang. ”

The two of them seemed to have practiced, and Chen Dazhui said skillfully: "The last general and others followed Ning Yuanhou to fight in Lingbi, and after the defeat, the soldiers scattered. When the last general heard that the brothers of Cangzhou Wei had been killed by the Jingnan army, he was afraid and had to flee into the mountains to survive. Now I heard that the Marquis of Ning Yuan was back in charge of the army and came to join it. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Very good, just memorize it like this." ”

The identities of Chen Dazhui and Zhang Sheng, even if someone in Jinyiwei is alert and suspicious, it is absolutely impossible to find out the slightest clue if they want to investigate!

Because the whole army of Cangzhou Wei was slaughtered! There was hardly one left. After breaking through Cangzhou, he ignored King Yan's military order to prohibit killing, directly killed and slaughtered the city, and killed the soldiers of the Cangzhou defenders...... Everyone is dead, where can I find out the details of the Cangzhou Weijun household now?

It was completely impossible to prove the identity of Chen Dazhui and others, and at this time, He Fu came forward to prove that they were his old subordinates; He Fu is still leading the army outside, what can Jinyiwei do?

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it again, then nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong!" ”

Chen Dazhui and Zhang Sheng retired.

Jin Shishi, Chen Dazhu, and Zhang Sheng are all Zhu Gaoxu's trusted generals, as long as they are ordered, so Zhu Gaochu is more happy. After a while, another person came in the room, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't give the order directly.

She is a, the ex-wife of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao.

In Zhu Gaoxu's heart, there is basically no such thing as a third brother. Originally, this brother seemed to Zhu Gaoxu to be separated by a layer; And from the interactions since the beginning of Jianwen, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't like the third brother's personality very much. Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu's feelings for the third brother are very thin.

But at this time, Zhu Gaoxu still said with a calm face: "Our three brothers, my relationship with Gao Sui is particularly good, but unfortunately we haven't seen each other for many years. ”

After hearing this, Xu Niangzi said softly: "King Zhao once mentioned his two brothers, and privately said that the relationship between the brothers was very good, and he also told one thing. When your brother fled from Beijing and came to Zhuozhou, the eldest brother's horse broke. King Zhao hurriedly wanted to give the horse to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother remembered that his third brother was young and the second brother was famous for his martial arts, and finally decided to ask the king of Han to go to the post station to grab the horse......"

This was indeed the result, and in the end Zhu Gaoxu went to grab the horse...... But what does he think, what's wrong?! He clearly remembered that Gao Sui sat on the horse and didn't say a word! Dare to love because you remember it wrong?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is not the time to argue, and there is no benefit, so he said: "Whoever calls me the strongest grows up, and generally wants me to take the lead in whatever he does." ”

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Zhu family can't stand Miss Xu, the royal family is not like ordinary people, and sometimes it is indeed more ruthless. But the matter of divorce should not be Gao Sui's original intention. ”

Hearing this, the suddenly showed a sneer. Zhu Gaoxu saw it in his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a slight disappointment in his heart.

After a while, he continued: "Miss Xu, can you fix a book and inquire about Gao Sui's thoughts on big things?" ”

If King Han insisted on this, the concubine would not dare to refuse. However, the king of Han is not afraid that the king of Zhao will send my letter to the court? said quietly, "The concubine can be a monk, but the last time the concubine appeared was at her uncle's house." I'm afraid that I will affect my uncle, and I'm afraid that he will be suspicious. ”

If it is affected, the most likely person is her father, but Xu Niangzi only mentions her uncle He Fu. Because she knew that Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about her father?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he had lost his eyes. are petite and well-behaved, but after all, they have been princesses, and they seem to have a lot of thoughts; Implicated in twists and turns, she can also quickly think of it!

"Gao Sui will report this kind of thing?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

said softly: "What if you are afraid?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was still unwilling, and said: "Miss Xu should use appropriate words, there is no need to persuade Gao Sui to raise troops, and it is very unlikely that Gao Sui will send the letter to the court; The puppet emperor and his ministers were even more suspicious of He Fu and Xu Zhang...... So in my judgment, this matter is not very risky. ”

Xu Niangzi said: "King Han Mingjian, the concubine thinks that King Zhao should be reluctant to follow you to raise troops."

After the absence of the father and the queen mother, the concubine lived in the palace of King Zhao for a while, and at that time King Zhao was no longer willing to participate in the sibling dispute. After you raised the army, King Zhao was even more unwilling, King Zhao himself was not good at using soldiers, how could he want to go to war? ”

Xu Niangzi glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and said carefully: "What's more, the concubine heard what he meant from King Zhao's words, and he didn't think that King Han could succeed at all." ”

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "I won't force Miss Xu." If you don't want to, that's it. ”

Xu Niangzi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally spoke: "Before I arrived in Yunnan, I heard that the imperial court had mobilized a million troops in Huguang and other places, and the King of Han was going to go on an expedition recently, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, and only said: "One million is a false rumor, Huguang plus Guangxi, the enemy army should be able to exceed 600,000 people." It is estimated that there will be fewer people who can really fight. ”
