Chapter 198: There is no advance or retreat

Two hundred years have passed since the old story of King Yan, but no one has forgotten it.

Just because of the success of this matter, he became the emperor. No one has forgotten how many people have soared because of it.

The Central Plains was lost, lying between Jiangnan and Jingshi Zhili, and the power of the Fu Fan was far stronger than that of Zhu Di, the original king of Hades. However, Zhu Youzhen did not have Emperor Jianwen's belongings, and in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, the soldiers and horses that had been assembled and those who were sent to attack the Fu Domain all slowed down.

Emperor Jianwen's kindness to civil officials is not insignificant, but there are only two or two who really die generously for him.

Since Zhu Youzhen's registration, he has beaten the eunuchs to death, and has offended an unknown number of incumbent officials. When Wei Zhongxian was in the limelight, up and down the court, who was not his disciple. Now those remnants of the eunuch party who have not had time to be beaten have been hiding at home and trembling, but now, they have also seen hope again.

Zhu Yousong guarded the river, and he no longer had the interest to seize Nanyang. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. Kaifeng is in hand, the Central Plains is under control, why care about the gains and losses of a city and a place in the south. So far, there are guns and cannons on the southern front, and holding on is victory.

Zhao Hong and Zhu Yousong arranged a foolproof line of defense and hurried back to Luoyang to prepare for the next move.

When Zhu Youzhen heard the news of the fall of Kaifeng, his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were blank. None of the eunuchs dared to get close, and they all looked at the lord of the imperial city nervously.

After half an hour, Zhu Youzhen spoke: "What is Sun Chuanting doing?" ”

Tian Ji was miserable, he was the secretary of the military department, even if the carpenter emperor was in power, everyone ate and drank, and he was idle and had nothing to do to persecute Xia Zhongliang, and bullied and bullied the people. But the days are happy, and there has never been such a burnt out as now. Hearing Zhu Youzhen's inquiry, he hurriedly curtled his knees and said, "Your Majesty, Governor Sun is in Zhengzhou, chasing down the traitor Zhang Hao of the Fu Domain. ”

"Bastard! Kaifeng is lost, and he is still wandering in Zhengzhou, which is really ridiculous! Zhu Youzhen finished roaring hoarsely, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said in a panic: "Sun Chuanting won't pass through the Fu Domain, so he wants to turn his back on me, right?" ”

Tian Ji was speechless, His Majesty the Emperor, at this time, he was still suspicious, as if everyone in the world was going to lie to him.

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting's whole family is all in the capital, even if he wants to surrender to the enemy, it can't be so obvious. Besides, King Xiaofu only occupies the two prefectures in Henan, and we still have an advantage, so it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender to the enemy. ”

Zhu Youzhen's expression was a little gloomy, and he closed his eyes again and didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking. The eunuchs and ministers in the Heart Cultivation Hall are all his henchmen, and when they see the emperor like this, they are all depressed and worried.

At this time in Shaanxi, Zhou Shuye monopolized the military and political power, and there was only one Xi'an Mansion left in the entire Shaanxi, which was surrounded by it.

Hearing that Shen Muhong came from the sea and went all the way west to Kaifeng, Zhou Shuye had mixed feelings in his heart.

For a long time, all the people who looked down on him said behind their backs that he had to carry the three words Shen Muhong. Although the two of them had only met once, he had heard Shen Muhong's name countless times.

Whether it is the new army from Ying'en Temple, or the bandits of Malingshan, or even the guards of the palace. As long as Shen Muhong is mentioned, there is unconcealable respect and worship in his tone.

Although Zhou Shuye prides himself on being a lackey under the palace, the more self-inferior he is, the more self-esteem he has in his heart is no less than anyone else.

"Shen Muhong? opened the seal twice, and it was really Wang Zuozhicai. Zhou Shu walked in the barracks at night, and everyone who saw him had to bow his head and salute. In front of you is Xi'an Mansion, in the Tang Dynasty, it was still the center of the world, the most prosperous city in the world. Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the western capital, have now declined.

Luoyang has been reduced to a military town, and Xi'an is just yesterday's yellow flower.

The current situation in Shaanxi is very delicate. The court, the blessed domain, the thieves, and a-stirring stick "a gust of wind". The forces of all parties are mixed, and they dare not act lightly. Only this Xi'an Mansion is surrounded by the Fu Domain and isolated from the outside world.

Zhou Shuye's idea was originally very bold, and there was still Zhao Hong at the beginning, who could suppress him. Now the commander of the largest force in Shaanxi, he decided to realize his ambitions.

The little prince's idea was very naΓ―ve in his opinion. Delong Wangshu, that is a conservative idea of partial peace. Now that the wind and clouds are coming, since there is this opportunity, we must forge ahead. In Zhou Shuye's view, entering Shu is the little prince looking for a way back for himself, he thinks that after failure, he can enter Shu to protect himself, and the most unfortunate can be a Liu Bei. Zhou Shuye's face did not move, but he let out a low laugh: "Hey, how can there be any way back in the world." ”

"The order, the three armies are exhausted, and the land is not defended. Send someone to inform Yue Chenfeng, let them fight back to the Yellow River, build a ship on the spot, and take Xi'an, we will cross the Yellow River and fight Taiyuan. ”

Zhou Shuye slowly and logically, conveying orders sentence by sentence. The pro-soldier who delivered the message hesitated: "When General Zhao was leaving, he said.."

"Tell me to go."

The soldiers did not dare to say anything more, and after a while, three war horses galloped out of the camp, and the battle was about to break out.

Xi'an Mansion gathered the defeated squire soldiers of Shaanxi, and they fled to Xi'an, a city that could give them a sense of security.

In April of the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Geng Bingwen, the governor of Xi'an, and Pu Ying, the governor of Xi'an, to recruit soldiers and rebuild the city wall of Xi'an. In the seventh year of Hongwu, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Guogong, came to Xi'an to supervise the repair of the city. There are corner towers in the four corners of Xi'an City, and there are ninety-eight towers on the ring city wall. The solid of Xi'an is no less than Kaifeng. But no matter how strong a city is, it is difficult to resist the general trend. After three days and three nights of bloody fighting, Zhou Shuye landed on the city wall of Xi'an as he wished.

"Lord Zhou, we have killed and wounded more than 20,000 people in this battle."

Zhou Shuye nodded, and said secretly, Shen Muhong took Kaifeng, it didn't cost a single soldier, and I was still disappointed.

"Continue to set off, leave the wounded soldiers to rest, copy the Qin Palace, and transport the property back to Luoyang. Remember, don't kill or injure the nobles of the Qin Palace. ”

July 7 is the Qixi Festival when the Magpie Bridge meets. But this year, both the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd have taken the limelight and are no longer the protagonists. When Zhu Yousong and Shen Muhong occupied Kaifeng, Luoyang, and fought no less than a hundred small battles with Sun Chuanting, Shanxi had already changed.

On July 7, Zhou Shuye, a subordinate official of the Nine Grades of Fuwangfu, took 100,000 horses and horses collected in Shaanxi, with Yue Chenfeng Wang Jun as the vanguard, crossed the Yellow River at Shawukou, attacked Fenzhou, Xiayang City, and occupied Puzhou, and captured Huaiqing. The vassal kings in Shanxi all had different aspirations after hearing about it. On July 12, the army had already arrived at the city of Taiyuan.

When the news came, the world shook.
