In the past two days, Zhu Di has visited Feng Sheng every day, calling out teachers and generals, and respectfully asking military questions, and Feng Sheng answered them one by one. Regarding Zhu Di's proposal to move troops to Hebei, merge the two armies, and put them under the command of Feng Sheng, Feng Sheng and King Zhou were a little moved, but they were still thinking about it. As for the generals of the two armies, they are familiar with each other, so they meet more often and have a more harmonious relationship. Seeing all this in his eyes, King Zhou felt a little unhappy in his heart, and there was an inexplicable crisis in his heart.

On the night of October 23.

King Zhou was a little exhausted, and said: "Father-in-law, we can't stay here any longer, this place is narrow and rugged, once there is a change, it will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army, and our army is not much food, and the army of the imperial court has also appeared in the Badaling Pass in the rear." If it is delayed any longer, it will either be attacked by the imperial court or annexed by King Yan. ”

Feng Sheng was in good spirits, looked at King Zhou's impatient appearance, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, there is no need to panic about this matter, now not only we are in a hurry, but King Yan is also in a hurry, don't worry about Badaling behind you, your henchman Zhou is most on the defensive, don't you worry about him?" ”

"Of course I'm relieved of the week, but ......"

Feng Sheng waved his hand, interrupted King Zhou, and said: "Now Geng Bingwen's army is gathered in Zhending, with nearly 200,000 troops, but the army of King Yan is gathered here, and it is impossible to advance or retreat, it is a matter of time before he returns to Beiping, and the old man estimates that King Yan will give in today and tomorrow." ”

"Geng Bingwen's matter, how did my father-in-law know so clearly?"

"Hahaha," Feng Sheng stroked his beard and laughed: "Did you forget it?" In the past two days, the two armies have been in frequent contact, and you are still worried that the Daning army will be co-opted by the Yan army, don't you know that the old man has already been prepared, and he has already mixed the Henan army and the Daning army, and used the prince's henchmen to control the army. Therefore, it is impossible for the Yan army to win over, and not only the Yan army is trying to win us over, but we are also trying to win them over, recently the king of Yan asked the old man for military advice, and the old man spread rumors in the army that the king of Yan is not good at military affairs and worships the old man, since the king of Yan takes the old man as a teacher, then it is natural for the old man to command the army. ”

"Geng Bingwen's information was derived from Yan Jun's mouth, and it is a comprehensive combination of various intelligences, the old man thinks it is credible, didn't you find that King Yan was already a little impatient this afternoon?"

"That's right, it's just," King Zhou hesitated for a moment, and said, "Could it be that my father-in-law wants to agree with the fourth brother's opinion, join forces in Hebei, and attack Geng Bingwen together?" ”

"This old man is thinking about it, now that the army of the imperial court has discovered the loss of Juyong Pass, it may be difficult to retreat to Shanxi, and joining forces in Hebei is also a way out."

"You ......" King Zhou was shocked, stood up and pointed at Feng Sheng, "Didn't we say okay?" Move troops to Shanxi, fight back to Kaifeng, and then enter the world? ”

"At this time and that time," Feng Sheng said slowly: "Since the imperial court has sent troops to the Badaling Pass, it means that it is impossible to return to Shanxi, and it has lost its suddenness, and our army is less than 100,000, and it is unlikely that it will break through Taiyuan and go south." In that case, why not push the boat down the river and agree to King Yan's request? ”

"You, you old puppet ......" King Zhou was shocked and began to scold: "If it weren't for the fact that this king secretly looked for a stand-in for you early in the morning, secretly replaced you, and sent someone to pick up your family, would you be able to have today?" And now you are so ungrateful! ”

Feng Sheng looked at the somewhat hysterical King Zhou, sneered in his heart, but his face was very frightened, he got up and arched his hand and said: "Don't be angry, the old man has a love in return, even if he agrees to King Yan, we also have a great chance, when the time comes, the prince and Wang Bi will lead the troops to sit in Beiping, and the old man will take King Yan to fight, and the soldiers and civilians of Beiping will be in my hands." In this way, the prince sits back and enjoys his success, and King Yan is just a pawn of the prince who fights with the army, isn't it beautiful? ”

"And from Beiping to the south, you can also reach Kaifeng quickly, which is not contradictory to our strategy."

"This," King Zhou hesitated, although he was a little skeptical of Feng Sheng's words, but he knew that he couldn't fall out with Feng Sheng at this time, so he had to sit down, hold Feng Sheng's hand and say: "Father-in-law, please forgive the little son-in-law for being reckless, if the big thing is done, this king will re-establish the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the father-in-law is the Dadu Governor, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses; The princess is the queen, and the stew is the prince; This king hangs the arch and rules, what does the father-in-law think? ”

"Thank you to the emperor for his grace, and I am willing to serve the emperor for the work of dogs and horses." Feng Sheng was upright, dusted off the sleeves of his robe, knelt down on his knees, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Hahaha, father-in-law, please get up quickly, the family doesn't talk twice." King Zhou hurriedly helped Feng Sheng up.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Just when the two were trying to communicate and resolve their suspicions, a hurried shout suddenly came from outside the tent: "Lord Wang, Dashuai, come out and take a look, there is a fire in the direction of Badaling." ”

What the? The two of them were shocked, and hurriedly ran out of the tent door and looked west.

The Guangou where Juyongguan is located is the terrain of high in the west and low in the east, the Shanxi Plateau is outside the Badaling at the west end, and the south mouth at the east end is already the Hebei Plain. Badaling is located at the highest place at the north end of the ditch, two peaks are sandwiched, one is open, condescending, and the situation is extremely dangerous. From the bottom of Badaling, look at Juyongguan, like a peep into a well. And Juyong Pass is only twenty miles away from Badaling. Feng Sheng and others from the bottom up, can clearly see the fire of Badaling, it is late autumn, the grass and trees on the mountain are dry, and the fire even has the tendency to spread to the mountains on both sides.

Feng Sheng had already left his demeanor behind, and in a fit of rage, he ordered his people to hurry to Badaling to investigate the situation, and at the same time ordered the army to get up immediately, assemble, and set up a defensive posture on the east and west sides, especially the east gate. At this moment, he subconsciously felt that this matter might be related to King Yan.

Feng Sheng's army was close to 100,000 people, and when he set out from Daning, he left 20,000 people for Wang Bi, including 15,000 Henan troops and 5,000 Daning troops, so Feng Sheng only had 60,000 people under his command at that time, including 25,000 Henan troops and 35,000 Daning troops. After stealing through Yehuling, he fought under the banner of Jingjing, recruited the guards in the north of the military capital, and finally incorporated part of the army in Juyongguan, so the soldiers were strong and strong, far better than Zhu Di's Yan army, the Yan army here was only 40,000 people, and the others were guarding Beiping, Miyun, Huailai, and Yongping.

When crossing Badaling, Feng Sheng released 10,000 people, and let Zhou Wang's henchman Zhou guard the pass, including 5,000 each of the Daning army and the Henan army; After entering Juyong Pass, Feng Sheng put 20,000 people in the pass, mainly the Daning Army and the Henan Army, and the rest were placed outside the Pass, and the Henan Army, the Daning Army and the guards behind the mountain were mixed and monitored. Although this configuration combination is unstable, Feng Sheng believes that as long as he is given another half a month, the reorganization of the army can be completed. That's why he negotiated with King Yan in the ditch, and he was not in a hurry.

But not long after his order was handed down, the city suddenly burst into flames. Feng Sheng woke up suddenly, and immediately asked King Zhou to be responsible for suppressing the rebel army in the city, extinguishing the fire, and hurried to the east gate with his personal guards.

After all, Feng Sheng is an old man in his sixties, when he rushed to the east gate panting, he found that the east gate had been wide open, the door was full of armor, arrows were wound, knives were unsheathed, spears were everywhere, and there was a group of people standing on the head of the city. ”

Feng Sheng looked at Zhu Di at the head of the city, and subconsciously wanted to turn back, but found that a group of armor soldiers appeared behind him, holding torches, illuminating the city gate as bright as day, and he couldn't help but be discouraged......

In the cold wind of hunting, Zhu Di laughed loudly at the head of Guandong Guancheng......

On the night of October 23 in the first year of Jianwen, the Daning army rebelled, Zhu Di and Chen Xuan attacked Juyongguan and Badaling respectively, and in the desperate situation that the front road was sealed and the back road was cut off, 100,000 Zhou troops surrendered, so far Zhu Di's army increased sharply to 200,000, and it was already able to compete with the imperial court head-on, and the situation changed greatly!
