The war on the southern front was tight, and the large and small forces in Luoyang City were panicking.

No matter how much they achieve, once Zhu Yousong is dead, it will be in vain.

Although Zhao Hong was in Shaanxi, he was not far away, and he personally led his troops over at sunset the next day. Leaving Zhou Shu to guard Shaanxi at night, fortunately, there is no one in Shaanxi who can fight now.

Before Zhao Hong got off the horse, he asked urgently, "Where is the prince?" ”

The general who came to greet him replied respectfully: "The prince is in the tent." ”

Zhao Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The young general was obviously a little unhappy on his face, what's the matter, you Zhao Hong can fight, and we are not a group of rice buckets.

He straightened his waist and said proudly: "The prince is safe and sound, and he led us to beat the enemy last night." ”

Zhao Hong only heard that the prince was unharmed, and his expression eased, as for the attack on the enemy army in the back, it was a trivial matter in his opinion. Zhu Yousong's safety, in their eyes, is more important than any battle results.

He jumped off his horse, and led his own soldiers straight to the Chinese army camp. When they arrived in front of Zhu Yousong's tent, the guards, who didn't know him, bent down and saluted. Zhao Hong walked straight into the tent, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Yousong wandering in a good place, putting a pair of legs on the case, holding a book in his hand, and reading it with relish.

If he is closer, he will see the title of the book, "Golden Vase Plum".

Zhu Yousong saw Xingfang, grinned and smirked, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly put down the book, and was sitting down to see that it was Zhao Hong. Zhu Yousong hurriedly asked: "Why are you here, what should I do in Shaanxi?" ”

Zhao Hong bowed down and said: "Shaanxi has been handed over to Zhou Shuye, and there is no major matter, except for Xi'an Mansion, most of Shaanxi is under our control." It's the prince, this place is very dangerous, how can the prince come in person. ”

Zhu Yousong remembered the embarrassed appearance of the defeated soldiers that day, and his heart palpitated, and said: "Indeed, I didn't expect the white pole soldiers to be so able to fight, but fortunately we have cannons and flintlock pistols." It's really head-to-head, and we're certainly not their opponents. ”

Zhao Hong frowned and said, "Is it really so powerful?" "Since he sent out the army, he has not tasted a single defeat, and it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant. In his opinion, the soldiers of Luoyang are as vulnerable as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Although the soldiers trained by themselves are all new recruits, their combat effectiveness is also a notch stronger than them. Zhao Hong believed that the rout on the southern front should be caused by the incompetence of the generals and the incompetence of the soldiers. But listening to Zhu Yousong's words, Zhao Hong hesitated again. He believed in Zhu Yousong's judgment, although the little prince's talent for commanding troops was not revealed, his vision has always been extremely accurate.

Before Zhu Yousong could speak, General He Shen, a soldier from Luoyang Mansion who was retreating next to him, hurriedly said: "General Zhao doesn't know anything, these white-pole soldiers are not afraid of death when they fight, and everyone is moving forward." It only took one round to break up our formation. Wang Zongbing originally wanted to take the lead in order to repay the prince. Who knows, as soon as he came up, he was cut off by the enemy chief. He was originally a confidant of the general soldier, and when he said this, he couldn't help but be emotional, and his voice was a little crying.

Zhao Hong said in a deep voice: "As the commander-in-chief, I don't sit in the Chinese army, I want to dispatch the whole army, and I want to be capable." That's the courage of a horseman, not enough to take. If you want me to say, as long as Lord Wang is in charge of the Chinese army, even if you are defeated, you will never be so defeated. ”

If Wang Zongbing is alive, Zhao Hong said, his identity is extremely high in Luoyang. It is estimated that He Shen will not dare to say anything, and will only be taught with an open mind. However, the Han people pay attention to the dead, and when General He saw his words, he was very dissatisfied with General Wang, and couldn't help but say angrily: "General Zhao, although we are defeated, it does not mean that we can be easily insulted, please speak politely." ”

Zhu Yousong hurriedly came out to play the round and said, "What is this for?" The strong enemy is on the other side, but you yourself are arguing, shut up for me. Zhao Hong snorted coldly and stopped responding. Although General He Shen was in a state of blood for a while, he spoke coldly to Zhao Hong for the sake of his old friend and old superiors. But Zhao Hong is the head of the Luoyang generals after all, and he is also a celebrity beside the prince, and he is also a little weak in his heart, and he no longer speaks.

Zhu Yousong diverted the topic and said: "When will we cross the river, avenge General Wang's hatred, and seize Nanyang by the way." I heard that the Tang King of Nanyang Mansion heard that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were coming to conquer me, and excitedly took out a lot of money and grain to work for the army. I have no grudges with this guy in the past, and I have no grudges recently, but he is blatantly brazen for the court. ”

Zhao Hong heard this and said, "King Tang and we live next to each other, and we have long been frightened. Coupled with the example of King Zhou, these vassal kings all regard the prince as a flood beast, and it is not surprising that he can do this. ”

Zhu Yousong still said angrily: "Hmph, no matter what, this time he is the one who provokes the trouble first." Let's take advantage of the situation to occupy Nanyang Mansion this time, I want to see how rich he Tang King is, and the labor army is burning bags everywhere. ”

Zhao Hong naturally knew Zhu Yousong's temper, and he was mostly pretending to be angry. Based on past experience, Zhao Hong concluded that when Zhu Yousong heard the news, he was only afraid that he was more happy than angry. Tang Wang This is the reason for sending him to the door, and if he does not annex his Nanyang Mansion, he is sorry for his hard work.

Speaking of this Tang King, it is also a strange history in the late Ming Dynasty. Tang King Zhu Shuoxi was bewitched by the concubine, and he always cherished the son born to the concubine in his heart, and hated the son born to his concubine (Zhu Qiqi, the son of the Tang King at that time). So, he secretly imprisoned his son and grandson in the Worship Division, trying to starve them to death. Fortunately, there was a petty official Zhang Shutang who helped deliver some brown rice, and in the prison cell, the poor father and son survived for sixteen years.

It is said that tigers do not eat children, but this prince obviously doesn't even have the slightest spirituality that beasts have. The current Tang King is already in his twilight years and is about to die. But if there is no accident in history, next year the concubine of the Tang King will be poisoned and poisoned his poor brother, who has been imprisoned for sixteen years. Just when the king of Tang was about to appoint the youngest son born by the concubine as the prince, the local official Chen Qiyu went to mourn the prince of Tang and warned the old king of Tang that the cause of the prince's death was unknown, and if he rashly changed the hereditary candidate, maybe the court would blame him in the future. The old Tang King was afraid of the Japanese and French investigations, so he hurriedly appointed Zhu Yujian, the son of the prince, as the "grandson".

This grandson later not only inherited the Tang king, but also became the second emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty after the death of Zhu Yousong in history.

Of course, Zhu Yousong didn't know that there was such a thing in the Tang Mansion in Nanyang at this time. But the old Tang King funded the imperial court to attack him, and this Liang Zi was concluded.

Tang Wangfu is a feudal king who has been divided at the time of opening, and it has been passed down for ten generations now. After so many years of accumulation, the wealth does not allow the Zhou Wangfu, even if there is no Liangzi, Zhu Yousong has been coveting it for a long time.
