Chapter 158: Xifengkou Deliberations
After the gate of Kaiping City was opened, Zhu Gaoxu whispered a few words to Zhang Yu and Xu Zhong, and in the strange eyes of the two, he took a few guards and rode into Kaiping City, and he did not stay in the city, but directly passed through the city and went in the direction of the Great Wall.
The captives looked at Zhu Gaoxu's back, and sincerely had a feeling of the rest of his life, this little devil was cruel and murderous, moody, and disdainful of the so-called Mongolian nobles, and touched his moldy head to kill him, even the great leader of Wuliangha, Tuo'er Huocha, almost died under his knife, although after the persuasion of the generals, Tuo'er Huocha picked up a life. In the end, Zhu Gaoxu "opened his grace" and beat 30 military sticks heavily, so that the old boy could only go down to the ground after ten days of recuperation in the car.
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's back, Zhang Yu sighed and said in a low voice: "General Xu, after entering the city for a while, wash all these captives and change their clothes, otherwise the prince will be angry when he sees it, and if the emperor knows, the little prince will be in trouble." ”
Xu Zhong smiled bitterly: "These things can't be hidden, we can only report truthfully, how the prince and the emperor deal with it, we can't control it, I hope the little prince is auspicious." Speaking of this, Xu Zhong looked back at the Mongolian captives and said in a low voice: "But the little prince's method is not bad, you see how obedient these captives are." ”
Zhang Yu looked back at the captive, and also thought it was interesting, and laughed lowly.
Zhu Di waited for three days at Xifengkou, and finally waited for Zhang Yu to escort the prisoner to arrive, he looked left and right, but he didn't find his son, and couldn't help but be angry: "Where did this rabbit cub go?" ”
Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed, walked up and whispered a few words in Zhu Di's ear. Zhu Di's expression was very exciting, his face was red and white, the muscles on his face were stirring, tense and relaxed, and his right hand was clutching the sword, as if he was going to kill someone, which frightened the captives. Zhu Di found out about the commotion of the captives, quickly calmed down, and clasped his hands into fists: "This is the Mongolian prince Harguchuk, this king is the king of Daming Yan, I heard that I invited you to Daming as a guest this time, it is really an honor, this king is here to greet you." ”
Looking at Zhu Di's kind appearance, Halguchuk strengthened his courage, and also learned Zhu Di to hug his fists and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, King Yan's name, this king is also like thunder, this time to be able to meet, it is also a blessing for Xiao Wang Sansheng." ”
"Okay, good, come, come with this king, this king has already set up a banquet in the pass to wash the dust for you." Zhu Di laughed, then pulled Halguchuk and walked into Xifengkou side by side.
The Mongolian nobles behind him saw this situation, and their hanging hearts finally settled down.
In the evening of the same day, Zhu Di specially set up a banquet to entertain the Mongolian nobles, the guests and hosts at the banquet were happy, the Mongolian nobles had not eaten a full meal for a long time, and they couldn't help but gobble up, for a time the dishes were messy, the cups were staggered, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
When Zhu Di was holding a wine glass and greeting Halguchuk, a sudden cry came from the banquet, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a Mongolian nobleman drinking wine while crying, the cry was miserable and moving, but what he said was Mongolian, and the sentences were vague, Zhu Di couldn't understand it. couldn't help but look at Halguchuk: "Lord, why is this?" What is he crying about? ”
When Halguchuk heard this nobleman's cry, his face changed greatly, and when he heard Zhu Di's question, he couldn't help but shudder, and glanced at Tuo'er Huocha. Tuo'er Huocha nodded, quickly pounced, grabbed the crying nobleman, and said in Mongolian: "Haba, it's all this time, do you still say this, do you want to kill everyone?" ”
Haba's drunken eyes were hazy, and he raised his glass to To'er Huocha, and said: "Great chief, I feel uncomfortable, Kuba died too miserably, he just said such a sentence, and was cut off by the little prince, and threw him on the grassland, as soon as I close my eyes now, I will hear his screams, curses and pleading, but what have I done, I don't dare to do anything, I will only desperately push the cart forward, run forward, I always feel that Kuba is calling me from behind, let me give him a good time, ahhh Beat your chest.
To'er Huocha's face turned pale, and he glanced at the nobles watching on both sides, and everyone hurried over, covered Haba's mouth, and carried him out. Then he turned back to Zhu Di and saluted: "Venerable Lord Yan, this person has drunk too much, and if he doesn't get in the way, he will be fine after a while." ”
Zhu Di felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu shook his head gently. Zhu Di understood, so he nodded and laughed: "Come, come, let's drink, if we don't get drunk today, we won't return." ”
But since Haba was carried away, the atmosphere of the banquet has never returned, and finally it has to end hastily.
After the banquet, Zhang Yu asked to see King Yan, but found that King Yan was already waiting for him, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Zhu Di waited for Zhang Yu to finish kowtowing before he said: "Shimei, Jin Se is already the side concubine of this king, and we are also relatives, I hope you can tell the truth to this king, what is going on?" ”
Zhang Yu organized the wording, lowered his head and told the story of the ambush on the bank of the Qingshui River and the escort of the captives to Kaiping City, and finally said the cry of the haba on the table. With his description, Zhang Yu seemed to be able to feel the suppressed anger in Zhu Di's heart, constantly emerging. When he finished speaking, Zhu Di was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and burst out of his teeth: "This rabbit cub, Lao Tzu has to kill him." ”
The room immediately fell silent, Zhu Di didn't speak, and Zhang Yu didn't speak.
After a long time, Zhu Di raised his hand and said: "Shimei, you go back, write the fold in a while, this king wants to take a look, these captives have to stay in Beiping for a while, waiting for the court to come and deploy." ”
Zhang Yu stood up, bowed down and said, "Yes!" He took two steps towards the door, but stopped, turned to Zhu Di and saluted, and said, "Lord, there will be a sentence at the end, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Say."
"This time in the Qingshui River, don't be too harsh on the little prince, he is young after all, after this time, I think he should remember the lesson and will be an excellent commander in the future."
"What else?"
"As for the cry of the Mongol captives, the last general thinks that he doesn't need to pay attention to it at all, since he must have the consciousness of being a prisoner, at that time, the army of Ying Guogong was limited, and he only gave the prince 2,000 cavalry, plus 1,000 wounded soldiers, and he couldn't control so many prisoners without special means."
"Limited troops?" Zhu Di roared: "Limited troops? Isn't it because he buried the king's left guard? ”
Zhang Yu smiled bitterly: "But the little prince's ambush gave Ying Guogong a chance to win." ”
"Nonsense," Zhu Di grabbed the teacup and threw it directly on Zhang Yu's chest, shouting: "Is this king's left guard a stepping stone for other people's military exploits?" How did you become a commander of the left guard? ”
Zhang Yu was smashed hard, and involuntarily stumbled, coughing a few times, "cough, cough" a few times, feeling that his throat was a little salty, he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, and found that his palms were full of blood.
Zhu Di also found the blood stains on the corner of Zhang Yu's mouth, and was shocked, so he hurriedly walked down, supported Zhang Yu, and said loudly: "Shimei, what's wrong with you?" This king can't stand you! Quick, Doctor, Quick! Then he helped Zhang Yu to sit on the chair.
The doctor quickly rushed over, and after diagnosis, the doctor bowed and saluted: "Lord Wang, General Zhang came back from Mobei, he was already very tired, and he was hit by a heavy object, causing him to vomit blood. Chen will go and make a prescription, as long as he is careful to recuperate, there will be no big problem. ”
"Okay, you go down and make a prescription." Zhu Di waved his hand.
The doctor took the order and left.
Zhu Di personally helped Zhang Yu to the inner hall, put him on his bed, and then sat next to him, took Zhang Yu's hand, and said: "Shimei, this king is ashamed, it is obviously the problem of this king's rebel son, but this king is angry with you, I'm really sorry." ”
Zhang Yu had no strength in his body, looked at Zhu Di, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the last general is fine, it is troublesome for others to write it, but since the loss of the left guard is serious, why don't you write a book to select 5,000 people from the Wuliangha captives to form a new left guard." Moreover, they are very afraid of the little prince, so they can let the little prince train them, and the general will be willing to assist. ”
Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little tempted, but he still frowned and said, "Can the court agree?" ”
"Lord, this expedition, my Ming Dynasty fell behind from the beginning, although Ying Guogong was victorious, but it didn't help, Wuliang Haben is free in the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia outside the two or five boys, its fall, has little impact on the Mongolian headquarters, King Ning is lonely in the desert north, our army is tied, fighting on the battlefield chosen by the enemy, more than auspicious. Therefore, after this battle, the strength of our northern border will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it is natural to replenish the troops, and the imperial court will not refuse. ”
"Also, the prince has recently mobilized an army to gather in Kaiping to meet our army that has fled back from Mobei, so that it will not only prevent the Mongols from going south, but also win the hearts of the northern Xinjiang army." Speaking of this, Zhang Yu lowered his voice and said, "The big thing for the prince will have an unexpected effect." ”
Zhu Di nodded, stood up and paced around the room, and turned around and said, "Shimei, Fu Youde has experienced a hundred battles, he won't be defeated, right?" ”
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment before he said: "Lord Wang, there is a shadow of the Central Plains people from the beginning of the planning of this battle, so the end will have a bad premonition." ”
"What you said makes sense, this king thinks about it," Zhu Di's face also became serious, he stood and thought for a while, and then said, "Shimei, you have a good rest." Speaking of this, he turned back to a few maids beside him and said, "You guys, take good care of General Zhang, if there are any mistakes, wipe your neck yourself." ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
