Human ambition is accumulated little by little.

Although Zhu Changxun was very disgusted with the beastly behavior that happened in Zhending Mansion, when he saw that his men and horses had rapidly expanded to more than 200,000, that bit of guilt towards the people had long since disappeared.

As Mr. Gu said, the history books are written by the victors, as long as he ascends to that position, no matter how kind he is to Zhending or the people of the world in the future, who will care about what he has done.

In this case, although he learned that 20,000 Liaodong Iron had ridden out of Shanhaiguan, Zhu Changxun just sneered, he used to take Ye Xun too seriously, and now Lao Tzu has 200,000 troops in hand, do you still need to be afraid of you?

Out of trust in Gu Feng, the training of recruits has been completely handed over to him, and I have to say that the heart of His Royal Highness King Fu is really not ordinary.

It's also strange to say, Gu Feng has not advanced to the capital recently, and after a few days, Zhu Changxun has been anxious enough, and there are many dreams at night, no one dares to guarantee what will happen next, in a hurry, Zhu Changxun ordered someone to find Gu Feng.

Xu Hongru, who goes by the pseudonym Gu Feng, of course knows what Zhu Changxun is looking for him, so he has already thought of his rhetoric.

After meeting and saluting, he said directly: "Can the prince be sure to defeat the Liaodong Army?" ”

One sentence asked Zhu Changxun to run out of electricity, opened his mouth wide, and hesitated for a long time before he said something more realistic, saying: "Do we still have a way out?" ”

Xu Hongru smiled and said: "There is something that I haven't had time to tell the prince, according to reliable information, someone in the capital has already laid a trap for Ye Xun, and it is the kind that will die, in this case, why should we rush to march."

"And such things! Is the message accurate? ”

Listening to Xu Hongru's words, Zhu Changxun couldn't help but be overjoyed, what he was most afraid of was Ye Xun's Liaodong army, if Ye Xun was killed, the Liaodong army would be leaderless, and it would not be a threat at all.

"Don't worry, the news is absolutely reliable, as for the source, please forgive me for temporarily selling it down, when the time comes, I will definitely tell the prince"

Zhu Changxun nodded very understandingly, and sure enough, he didn't ask any further, but said: "Zhang Weixian has already taken Wei Zhongxian's party, what if he sends someone to ask this king to withdraw his troops?" ”

If you can ask such a question, even if you don't have a brain problem, you must not have woken up yet.

Xu Hongru sneered in his heart, fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't gamble his life on you, a waste prince, otherwise he would have to lose his pants.

"Huh! What's wrong with the prince? Didn't the little emperor be poisoned! As Uncle Wang, you should always care about it! ”

Zhu Changxun patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise King Gu really ignored this matter, so when do you say we should enter the army?" ”

"The New Year is approaching, after Ye Xun arrives in the capital, he will definitely enter the city, and as long as he enters the city, don't think about coming out alive, at that time, it will be time for us to send troops."

Seeing that Xu Hongru was so sure, Zhu Changxun's confidence also swelled, and he nodded: "If this king can really ascend to the throne, you will be the first hero of this king, and this king will never treat him lightly."

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

did a full set of plays, Xu Hongru really knelt down after speaking, as if Zhu Changxun had really become the emperor.

"It's early, it's early, Aiqing hurry up, let people see how bad it is, haha..."

said that it was early, Zhu Changxun, who was shameless, and his eyebrows that were fooled by Xu Hongru were about to fly.

Leaving Zhu Changxun's handsome tent, Xu Hongru immediately called his two White Lotus Sect subordinates over.

One of these two people is called Hou Wu and the other is Xia Zhongmou, and they are Xu Hongru's two most hardcore descendants.

The guards outside the tent were all White Lotus Sect disciples, but Xu Hongru still ordered very cautiously that no one should approach.

"How's the training going?"

Hearing Xu Hongru ask, Hou Wu hugged his fists and said: "Venerable, rest assured, everything is done according to your orders, most of the troops are already under our control, just waiting for your order."

Xu Hongru nodded and said: "The eunuch has led his troops into the pass, Zhu Changxun will lose this battle, we can't follow him to the funeral, I will follow him at that time, and you will walk at the end with the selected elite, and immediately lead the army south after the disadvantage in the front."

Xia Zhongmou on the side couldn't help but say: "Venerable, the weather is freezing at this time, if we lose the battle, I'm afraid we won't be able to feed so many people!" ”

"That's why I want to go south, the south is rich, and if you go south, you can not only get more provisions, but also recruit more soldiers."

When Xu Hongru said this, his eyes flashed with a vicious light.

The two subordinates also understood at this time, just like in Zhending Mansion, burning and killing all the way to the south, not to mention looting countless grains and grass materials, but also coercing more homeless people, which many rebels did in history.

After sending away the two subordinates, Xu Hongru looked in the direction of the capital and said to himself: "The surname Ye, since you can pacify Liaodong, then Lao Tzu will make a bigger mess for you, see if you are still even?" ”

If this question were asked to Ye Xun in person, Ye Xun might tell him that Lao Tzu came from more than 400 years ago to clean up the mess.

After Ye Xun joined Zhang Qi's army halfway, he returned to the capital, and when he passed through Tongzhou, he met the oncoming Li Zhiwen.

The six departments and nine secretaries of the imperial court have almost been arrested, but Li Zhiwen, as the secretary of the household department, has been safe and sound in the previous storms, this is not to say how clever he is, but to have Ye Xun behind his back to support him.

There is no shortage of good officials in the Ming Dynasty, but there are too few officials who are capable and do not engage in party disputes, so Ye Xun has been secretly protecting Li Zhiqing.

Ye Xun knew very well why Li Beiwen came to him, in fact, Li Beiwen was also one of the candidates for the future cabinet members in his heart, so he didn't know what his opinion was, and now it happened that he took the initiative to come to the door.

Li is not stupid, such a big event happened in the capital, although Ye Xun did not appear, but no one in the world knows that the Weizi camp is Ye Xun's subordinate in Liaodong, and now Jinyi Wei and the commander of the East Factory have all been arrested, if there is no shadow of Ye Xun behind this, the ghost will not believe it.

As the only ministerial-level official who was not arrested, Li Zhiwen can be said to have come with a mission, which has his own thoughts, and of course there are also some commissions from old friends, because smart people can see that in this reshuffle of the court, this Ye Gonggong will definitely be a pivotal figure.

The news about Zhending has been sent to Ye Xun without interruption, and since Zhu Changxun is not in a hurry to enter the army, Ye Xun also ordered the army to slow down.

After the tent was erected, Ye Xun ordered someone to invite Li Beiwen in.

Li Zhiwen is also very clear about everything Ye Xun has done for himself, so his attitude is no longer as blunt as before when he met.

After a few brief greetings at the meeting, Li Zhiwen went straight to the point and said, "Gonggong Ye wants to follow Feng Bao's example?" ”

Feng Bao was the great eunuch in the early years of Wanli, with Zhang Juzheng on the outside and the queen mother on the inside, at that time, he was definitely a powerful figure in the government and the opposition...
