Geng Bingwen silently counted the time, but the guard never came back, but Zhang Fu came back first, only to see him nod at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also nodded in response. Geng Bingwen's face immediately changed, and he couldn't help but look at Li Jian, who was in charge of the guard, but Li Jian didn't seem to see Geng Bingwen's hint and stood there motionless.

Geng Bingwen's hands and feet were cold, it seemed that the guards just now were more auspicious, but he didn't hear a sound, if it wasn't Li Jian's hands and feet, who would believe it? What to do? Geng Bingwen couldn't help but glance at He Fu beside him, and found that He Fu was just looking at Wang Bi's head and didn't say anything special. Only then did he remember that He Fu didn't know all his plans, and he only notified Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng couldn't see the signal, so he wouldn't send troops over.

Now there is only one way, and that is to delay time, he and Gu Cheng have agreed that if there is any movement on the mountain or there is no signal for half an hour, Gu Chengcheng will immediately pull out the camp and surround the mountain.

But how can it be delayed for half an hour? Geng Bingwen was not sure, but he could only fight back against Zhu Di, accusing him of killing people, accusing him of harboring King Zhou and Feng Sheng, accusing him of killing court officials, and so on. Zhu Di also did not show weakness, and fought back one by one, if people who don't know the truth are here, they will also feel that what Zhu Di said is very reasonable.

The time was almost half an hour, and someone outside the tent suddenly wanted to see Li Jian, Li Jian nodded at Geng Bingwen and walked out. It didn't take long for Li Jian to come back. He angrily pulled out his long knife and shouted at Zhu Di: "Zhu Di, you are despicable and shameless, and you don't keep your promises!" ”

The people in the tent were immediately stunned, but Zhu Di didn't seem surprised: "What's wrong?" Brother-in-law? ”

"Just now, the scout cavalry came to report and found your cavalry fifty miles away, why didn't you keep your word and send troops to sneak attack!"

"What's wrong, brother-in-law? Aren't you willing to help me? ”

"I'm willing to help you get out safely, but I'm not here to help you do evil." When Li Jian said this, he shouted: "Protect the general, arrest Zhu Di, kill!" ”

Li Jian's reaction was completely unexpected by both sides, and Zhu Di was also stunned, and hurriedly ordered the guards to resist; Geng Bingwen was overjoyed, he found that Li Jian did not defect, although Li Jian had a tacit understanding with Zhu Di, he was just afraid that he would hurt Zhu Di. That's good, that's good, Geng Bingwen immediately ordered: "Quick, send a signal to the big battalion, and the whole army will go out to arrest Zhu Di." ”

Zhu Di's guards were not to be outdone, and drew their swords against each other. For a time, the sword light and sword shadow inside and outside the big tent, the sound of killing shook the sky, and in the distance, the camp gate of the big camp opened, and a large number of elite cavalry rushed out of the big camp and rushed towards the hill......

The battle situation was completely unexpected by Zhu Di, although Li Jian's guards were not as elite as Zhu Di's guards, but they had spears, bows and arrows, shields and other weapons, so under the fierce battle, Zhu Di's guards were killed step by step, and Zhu Di's guards kept screaming and falling to the ground. Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were a little anxious, turned around and shouted, "Lord Wang, go quickly!" Come on! We can't stop it! ”

After Zhu Di saw it, he frowned, and called Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu to give a few words in a low voice, Zhang Yu and the others were shocked when they heard it, and said in unison: "Lord Wang, no!" ”

"Do you have a good idea? Then do as the king says. ”

I heard Zhu Di shouting: "Stop, stop, brother-in-law, stop, this king is out!" Get out of the way, get out of the way! Hearing Zhu Di's shout, his guards subconsciously let go of the road, and Li Jian's guards who were fighting on the opposite side also involuntarily stopped, but there were still a few archers who did not stop their hands, and subconsciously shot arrows at Zhu Di, just listening to a scream of "ah", Zhu Di turned over and fell to the ground.

Li Jian was shocked, and immediately ordered everyone to stop, pushed the guards away, and went to see Zhu Di's injuries. But at this moment, Zhu Di's guards suddenly attacked, Li Jian's guards were caught off guard, and were immediately scattered by Zhu Di's guards and fell into a bitter battle, and Li Jian, who rushed out, was also put on his neck with a steel knife.

But Zhu Di slowly got up from the ground, coughed twice, and shook his clothes: "Ahem, thank you for my father's golden silk soft armor, otherwise this king will die today!" Li Jian understood everything, his angry eyes were about to burst into flames, ignoring the steel knife on his neck, pointing at Zhu Di, and scolding: "How can the first emperor have a son like you, Zhu Di, you are despicable and shameless, you will take revenge, and you will die innocently......."

Zhu Di patted the dust on his body, stood up, looked at the surrounding situation, and laughed: "Brother-in-law, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, you still have to cultivate more." Then he ordered someone to block Li Jian's mouth and said loudly: "Li Jian is in my hands, quickly put down the weapon!" ”

All the guards are Li Jian's henchmen, and seeing Li Jian being held at this moment, he is even more in retreat, and he has no power to resist. However, in the time of a stick of incense, Li Jian's guards all laid down their weapons except for those who were killed, and Geng Bingwen and others were also armed with long swords and were surrounded in the heart.

Zhu Di laughed and said: "General, put down your arms, you are the old minister of the first emperor, and this king promises not to hurt you." ”

Geng Bingwen looked around, except for He Fu, there were only a few guards, and then look at Zhu Di's side, there were at least more than a hundred guards. However, Geng Bingwen didn't panic much, but turned his head to look at the bottom of the mountain, at this time Gu Cheng's cavalry had already outflanked him, and soon surrounded the hill, and then Gu Cheng dismounted and led people to the top of the mountain. In the distance, smoke and dust were rising, and Zhu Di's cavalry was rushing towards him......

Geng Bingwen saw Gu Cheng coming, he was in a hurry, there was Zhu Di's cavalry outside, how could Gu Cheng come up the mountain in person, he should defend at the bottom of the mountain, and send others up. Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as Gu Cheng arrived at the top of the mountain, a group of cavalry from the northwest broke through Gu Chengjun's defense and rushed towards the mountain.

Zhu Di saw Gu Cheng coming, but he didn't panic, but greeted him and said, "General Gu came too late, this king almost died." ”

"How so?" Gu Cheng was stunned and said, "Isn't there Li Jian?" ”

"Li Jian?" Zhu Di pouted and said: "This guy didn't care about his feelings, when he saw the king's cavalry coming, he immediately turned his face and almost killed the king, but fortunately, this king's life was big, and he sacrificed his life to capture him, look, it's over there." ”

Gu Cheng looked behind Zhu Di and found that Li Jian's arms were tied, his eyes were closed, and he looked loveless, he shook his head and turned his head towards Geng Bingwen.

Looking at Gu Cheng in front of him, Geng Bingwen was discouraged, and raised his hand tremblingly: "Why, why?" ”

Gu Cheng arched his hand and said: "General, when the first emperor was there, he liked King Yan the most, and felt that King Yan was the most like him. 'The first emperor established the present day, but now the king of Qin has died, and the king of Jin is dying, and he will go soon. If the first emperor is still alive today, then the king of Yan will definitely be established, in this case, as the old ministers of the first emperor, why don't we fulfill the unfulfilled last wish of the first emperor? ”

"Shut up! Gu Cheng, in vain as the first emperor's own soldiers, but you don't know the first emperor's wishes, the first emperor most hopes that the Ming Dynasty can be stable for a long time, and there will be no more military disasters, besides, the status of the monarch and the minister has been decided, and the ministers are against the king, and the war is unprovoked, the Ming soldiers killed each other, and hundreds of people were displaced, is this the last wish of the first emperor? ”

Gu Cheng smiled and said: "General, you are wrong, today King Yan is not trying to kill the general, but wants to join forces with the general, and now he really has more than 300,000 soldiers, all of whom are elites in a hundred battles, and King Yan has nearly 100,000 people when he goes south this time." The 400,000-strong army went south, and the imperial court had no power to fight back at all. After crossing the Yellow River, it is the fiefdom of the king of Zhou, Henan, which can be passed on to the decide, and then drink the Yangtze River and occupy the Beijing Division, which is easy. ”

"Therefore, there will be no war, according to the estimation of the last general, in less than two months, King Yan will be able to ascend to the throne, with the heroism of the prince, pacify the world, and drive Mongolia north, isn't it easy?"

Zhu Di also walked up, bowed down and said: "General, this king does not want to make trouble, but sees that he is going against the grain today, wantonly changing the old system of Hongwu, and wants to put things right, and I hope that the general will help me." ”

Geng Bingwen completely understood, and looked back at He Fu beside him, but found that He Fu was also looking at him, and it seemed that he was also tempted. Geng Bingwen looked around again, and found that today's sun was extraordinarily warm and bright, and in the distance on the Zhending City, there was his son Geng Xuan, maybe he was looking here, guessing what his father had encountered; and Geng Xuan, the eldest son of the Northeast, I don't know what he is doing at the moment, maybe he is planning to attack Yongping; There are also the old wife and youngest son Geng Xuan in Beijing, are they also worried about themselves? On this expedition, the old wife also nagged that the emperor bullied the old man, and she was just smiling at the time, but why did she want to listen to her nagging so much now, unconsciously, Geng Bingwen's tears filled his eyes and slowly flowed down his cheeks......

Seeing Geng Bingwen crying, Gu Cheng was overjoyed: "General, you have figured it out, great, King Yan will not treat you badly." ”

Geng Bingwen shook his head, pulled out his long sword, and put it on He Fu's neck: "Vice General He, you can do it yourself." As he spoke, he kicked He Fu out. He Fu was caught off guard and fell into a, he rolled and stood up: "General, what do you mean?" ”

Geng Bingwen ignored him, put the sword on his neck, and looked at Gu Cheng: "I, Geng Bingwen, have encountered countless dangers in my life, but I can turn them into dangers. I didn't expect to be old and soft-hearted, but I planted such a big heel and was betrayed by the person I trusted the most, Gu Cheng, I really misjudged you. ”

When Gu Cheng saw Geng Bingwen's appearance, he was so shocked that he was about to rush up, but he was stopped by Geng Bingwen, Gu Cheng spun around anxiously, and said: "General, don't be like this, there is something to discuss, brother is really for your good, really for your good, don't be like this." ”

Geng Bingwen laughed miserably: "Gu Cheng, you have a good calculation, now that General Pingyan and the left and right deputy generals are here, once they surrender, the 300,000 army is at your fingertips." However, I, Geng Bingwen, would rather die than be a traitor. As he spoke, he faced the south and knelt down on his knees: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, and he has missed your big event!" Then the old general raised his head to the sky and roared, and the sound shook all the fields, but finally it stopped abruptly and fell in a pool of blood......
