Chapter 355: Rebels
Since he hit Luoyang, Zhu Changxun has had a smooth journey, and there is no such ordeal as Emperor Chengzu, no matter where he goes, the city gate is wide open, the civil officials greet him with a smile, and the army collectively defects.
Although Zhu Changxun knew that the credit of the silver was not small, it also showed from the side that Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian were indeed unpopular, and he was getting closer and closer to that position.
But for some reason, as he got closer and closer to the capital, Zhu Changxun suddenly felt a little bottomless.
Now in addition to the 40,000 or 50,000 regular troops under Zhu Changxun, there are also tens of thousands of heroes and heroes from the three mountains and five mountains, of course, these people are also running for his money.
In this regard, Zhang Guanchang reacted the strongest, according to his words, they are going to enter the king of Jingqin, not a rebellion, at least not on the surface, making a bunch of messy people around, ruining their reputation.
After confronting Zhu Changxun several times, Zhu Changxun has become more and more alienated from him, but a celebrity from Jiangnan is getting closer and closer to Zhu Changxun.
This celebrity is said to be a celebrity in Zhejiang, surnamed Gu Mingfeng, which sounds like a more feminine name, but after some conversation, this Mr. Gu's knowledge and talent have deeply impressed our ambitious and talented Zhu Wangye.
When the army arrived outside the Zhending Mansion, an unexpected situation occurred, because the Zhending Governor Xu Maoran did not allow them to enter the city.
You must know that after the army left Luoyang, as there were more and more troops, the momentum became more and more powerful, and no local officials there dared to stop the footsteps of King Zhu Changxunqin, what does this Xu Maoran mean? Want to die?
Zhending is already very close to the Beijing Division, there are three major battalions outside the capital, more than 200,000 horses, so there are only more than 5,000 garrisons here, but this Lord Xu is not afraid, after closing the city gate, he recruited countless young people to help defend the city, and forcibly separated Zhu Changxun's army here.
Zhu Changxun was furious and immediately wanted to command a large army to attack the city, but was stopped by Gu Feng and Wei Shen.
Although it is not as cold as Kanwai, the climate is like this season, and the biting cold wind can still pierce people's hearts and lungs, making people feel bone-chilling.
It was getting late, and the light in the big tent was also a little dim, so Zhu Changxun summoned Gu Feng and Wei Shen and several of his generals, Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai and others.
"Today's incident, you must also know, this king plans to allow thieves not to open the city tomorrow, and attack the city at noon, what do you think?"
Wei Shen waited for Zhu Changxun to finish speaking, and was the first to get up and said: "Chitose don't worry, I'm waiting for the king's master, if you don't have to, it's best not to use the sword in vain."
Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier, pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you use swords and soldiers?" Today, is there a way back? Don't look at us now, we seem to have a lot of people and horses, but if the imperial court army gathers, there will be no enough people to do anything, so what General Mo means, this matter is not too late or sooner, and there is no need to talk to the surname Xu, and the city will be attacked directly tomorrow morning."
Zhu Changxun was actually more inclined to Wang Shaoyu's suggestion, but he was still a little undecided, and turned his head to look at Gu Feng on the side.
This Gu Feng is not ordinarily good-looking, about forty years old, with a long figure, elegant appearance, and a long beard under his chin, he looks quite like a fairy wind bone, but the expression on his face is a little stiff.
Seeing Zhu Changxun's eyes looking at him, Gu Feng stroked his beard and got up and said: "What Lord Wei and General Wang said makes sense, but I am more inclined to General Wang's idea, according to the news from Liaodong, Ye Xun has already driven away Huang Taiji, if it is not bad, he will definitely rush back to the capital, so we should take the capital before he returns to Beijing."
"But there is another thing, that is, the composition of the people under the throne of the prince is too complicated, and we should take this opportunity to carry out a reorganization, which will also facilitate the better command of the prince, so I think that according to what Lord Wei said, I should pass the book to Xu Maoran early tomorrow, and at the same time rectify the people, and then take the real determination in one go."
This Gu Feng is obviously also an old and cunning master, and no one has offended anyone in what he said.
Wei Shen saw that this Gu Feng was very pleasing to the eye, at least much stronger than Zhang Guanchang, and he was polite to him at any time.
Holding his beard in his hand, he looked like he was holding a wisdom bead, and said: "Now there are many officials in Beijing who are loyal to Chitose, as long as the Chitose army arrives, they will immediately respond to Chitose in the city, and great things can be done!" ”
There are indeed many officials in the capital who have secretly written letters to Zhu Changxun, not that they want to betray the imperial court, but in fact, they have all received Zhu Changxun's gifts before, and the handle is in Zhu Changxun's hands, so they have to be loyal to Zhu Changxun.
Zhu Changxun was not very worried about the unexpected situation in Zhending, what bothered him was not only Ye Xun, who had an unknown attitude, but also Zhang Weixian, who commanded the Beijing camp.
Although the Liaodong Army is powerful, after all, the distance is too far, and now it is this British duke who can decide success or failure.
After talking to everyone about the reaction of the army and the local government, Zhu Changxun waved his hand to let everyone retreat, but Gu Feng was left alone.
"Mr. Gu, I don't know why, this king always has a bad feeling in his heart, but he can't say what the reason is for a while, I wonder if Mr. can solve my doubts?"
Gu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the prince is not called below, and he also has something to say to the prince."
"According to Zaixia, what can disturb the prince's mind is nothing more than two aspects, one is Ye Xun in Liaodong, and the other is the garrison of the capital, I don't know if what I said is right?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. is really a god, he even knows what this king thinks in his heart, tell me quickly, how can I make this king no longer feel this way?"
Listening to Zhu Changxun's somewhat eager words, Gu Feng's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
"Just now there are a lot of people, and there are some things that have not been said thoroughly, if the prince is willing to listen, then we will quickly fight, take the Zhending Mansion tonight, and then rely on Zhending, and at the same time send troops to the capital, recruit talents from all over the world, only the strength of the prince is tough enough, and the feeling of uneasiness will disappear"
Zhu Changxun was taken aback, didn't he just say that he would attack the city at noon tomorrow? How did it change in a blink of an eye? The meaning of a quick battle is understandable, but Zhang Weixian hasn't done it yet, even if he wins the real decision, he may not be able to enter the capital!
Seeing Zhu Changxun's hesitation, Gu Feng lost no time in continuing: "Lord Wang, to say something ugly, do you think that just by relying on us who are cobbled together, can we really make a real decision?" ”
Listening to Gu Feng's words, Zhu Changxun suddenly came to his senses, he was too smooth before, and he hadn't fought a tough battle until now, and Zhending City was high and wide, and it was not something that could be fought in a short period of time, if the war entered a protracted period, there would be more uncertain factors.
Thinking of this, Zhu Changxun slapped his thigh and said, "Thanks to Mr. Reminder, I almost missed a big event, so this king will summon the generals..."
"The prince is slow, although Zhending City is well defended, but for the subordinates, it is not easy to take"
As he spoke, a hint of inexplicability flashed in Gu Feng's eyes...
