Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Triumph Returns to Beijing

(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!) )

The great victory of Linghe City has already been spread to the court. Suncheon Castle ushered in the long-lost laughter. This may be the best harvest after autumn. And the person who sowed the seed was still in the Thirteenth Peak, planning other things, as if this great victory had nothing to do with him.

On the imperial city, Zhu stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the east, his face seemed to be good. After Lai Zongdao ceased to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, he was replaced by Zhou Yanru. Although the northwest, northeast, and southeast coasts seem to be in chaos. This sudden victory in Linghe was like a reassuring pill, which made the entire stormy Ming Dynasty have a little more temporary stability.

"Congratulations to the Holy One, congratulations to the Holy One. The victory of Linghe City this time is very happy. I will restore Liao in the Ming Dynasty, just around the corner! Zhou Yanru also received the news today, and hurried into the palace to report the good news. Now he is the head of Levinchen, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person. Sun Chengzong stood behind Zhou Yanru, and he was also happy.

The imperial city is in full view, criss-crossed, like a big chessboard, and the place where Zhu You checks is the center of this chessboard. He shook his yellow robe and asked, "Sun Shangshu, Chief Soldier Zu and General Soldier Wu are also coming back soon." What do you think I should reward them? ”

Sun Chengzong didn't know what this meant, so he said: "Last night, the minister took a look at the situation of the Daling River overnight. This kind of tactical tactics is the only one seen in Wei Chen's life. Even Weichen sighed to himself. ”

"Oh? Sun Shangshu has such a high opinion of this battle? Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

Sun Chengzong did not hide it: "If any of these steps go wrong, they will all lose the game." But the worst result is still much better than the 10,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry defending Linghe City. So Weichen is saying that this battle is well planned. He smiled.

"Then according to the old general's meaning, who is the person who planned this battle?" Zhou Yanru asked.

Sun Chengzong said: "Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang are all generals, but they have not yet reached such a clever point. When Mr. Zhou asked, he remembered a person. ”

Zhu Youzhen turned his back to the two of them and replied tentatively: "Yang Fan? ”

Sun Chengzong nodded, looked at Zhu Youzhen's back, and said, "The saint is wise, and the disciple of the fortune operator still has some ability after all." With this Li Dai Tao's stiff move alone, how dare ordinary people let 10,000 guards defend such a dangerous city. It can be seen that there must be the art of unpredictable prophets. ”

Sun Shangshu's words are a bit excessive. Ghosts and gods are superstitious, how can they believe it? Zhou Yanru shook his head and smiled.

"If this is not enough to convince Master Zhou, then how could Wu Xiang's army receive information and want to relieve the siege on a foggy day? It can be seen that Yang Fan already knew that there would be fog. Isn't this an unpredictable prophet? ”

Zhou Yanru said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

"So many coincidences, added together, it's not as simple as a coincidence. Lao Chen believes that the only flaw is that in the end, Zu Dashou took 20,000 migrant workers to the north to seduce, which Yang Fan probably didn't expect. But it's understandable, after all, Huang Taiji is not stupid. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at a black ant on the city wall, blocked its path left and right with his hand, and said slowly: "Whether it is really possible to predict the prophet, I don't know." But as long as you can win the battle, that's great. Tell me, how should I reward him? ”

Both were silent. This Yang Fan has no fame, and he has never been in the office, and he doesn't even have a household registration in the army. It can be said that it is obviously inappropriate for such a flat-headed common man to let him play the Nine Heavens in a court.

Zhu Youzhen said that the reward, neither of them answered positively.

"Haha." Zhu Youzhen laughed twice, "Two Qing families, how about I make a bet with you?" ”

"Minister, don't dare."

"Wechen is terrified!"

The two of them saluted, this net worth was given by the emperor, as long as Zhu Youzhen said a word, what you want is not what to take. This bet can't be beaten.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Alas, don't panic. It's just a verbal bet, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Tell me, will this Yang Fan follow him into Beijing? ”

"If this battle is his instruction, it will naturally be his credit. How could you not come to Beijing to receive the reward? ”

"Sun Qingjia, what do you mean?" Zhu Youzhen turned around and looked at Sun Chengzong.

"The old man and Zhou Shoufu have the same idea."

"Haha, okay. Then I will bet with you that Yang Fan will not enter Beijing. If I lose, I will give each of you a hundred taels of silver. If you wait for both of you to lose. Hehe, I've heard that Master Zhou's home has a picture of Tang Bohu's "Moon Spring", as well as Dong Qichang's four screens in Sun Shangshu's house, can you borrow me to watch it for a few days? ”

"The saint wants calligraphy and painting, how dare Weichen hide it privately. The minister immediately went back and fetched it. Zhou Yanru said with an embarrassed face. He has been playing with this "Moon Spring Picture" for a long time, and he always can't put it down.

"Hey, if you say that a bet is a bet, how can you go back? I'm just having fun, that's it. ”

"Minister, obey the order."

"Minister, obey the order."

The two looked at each other, whether this calligraphy and painting were handed over or not? If it is handed over, it will be watched for a few days, but it will not be able to come back in the Year of the Monkey. Can you still ask the emperor for it? The two old foxes slowly retreated.

"Master Zhou, what does this mean?" Although Sun Chengzong has been in the officialdom for so many years, he still can't guess the little emperor's thoughts. If you want calligraphy and painting, why bet, it's not ...... Cheeky and hard-skinned......

Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "Sun Shangshu, the Holy Lord is blackmailing us." ”

"Oh? Ha ha. It's new. ”

What they didn't expect was that Zhu Youzhen, who was standing on the imperial city and playing with ants, why did he name Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang, Tiger, Chang, Tiger, and Ling? Zhu Youzhen's index finger pressed on the ant, feeling the itching sensation brought to him by the little ant struggling below, and said to himself: "For the tiger, Yang Fan, I really can't see through you." But ......" Zhu Youzhen let go of his fingers, and the ants below struggled to crawl.

"No matter what, in my eyes, you are just an ant! I give it to you, and you can have it! ”

……

……

Ten miles away from the capital, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang returned to Beijing with hundreds of soldiers. Even the two major generals did not dare to return to Beijing with the army casually. There are rules for how many people you can only bring back to Beijing and when you can return to Beijing. If you are out and return to Beijing wantonly, it will not be messed up.

"Wu Xiang, how is my sister?"

"Okay. Why did the eldest brother ask about her? Wu Xiang asked. For this brother-in-law, Wu Xiang still respects him very much. There is nothing to say about leading troops to fight, and it is also extremely preferential treatment for one's own people. His position as the chief soldier of Jinzhou has somewhat stained the light of Zu Dashou.

A few horses accompanied him, and Zu Dashou smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you for many years, and I'm very worried." By the way, if you meet the saint and ask Yang Fanlai, don't poke anything out. ”

"Hmph, that boy with a high sky and a thick sky. There was no one in his eyes, and he thought that the commander had won a victory, so he was complacent. Such a person is not enough. Wu Xiang was angry when he thought of Yang Fan.

Zu Dashou smiled: "What are you angry about? Is it jealousy of his talent? You don't know, I was surprised to hear this kid's plan. Even Dacheng and those boys opened their mouths wide and were surprised for a while. ”

"Hehe, what the eldest brother said. I am a general soldier, how can I be as knowledgeable as a fledgling boy. Wu Xiang snorted coldly, "But how did the eldest brother know that Azig's 20,000 troops would come from the north by a detour to cut off the connection between Jinzhou and Linghe City?" ”

"It's all said, this time it was all arranged and deployed by Yang Fan." Zu Dashou rode forward, "Don't say it, when I boasted about Haikou and said that he was a saint in front of the saint, I really didn't exaggerate." It's like a half-fairy, and the emperor Taiji just went to the planned place step by step. ”

Wu Xiang pursed his lips and said, "It's just that this temperament is too arrogant." ”

"After all, he is a disciple of a master in the mountains and wilderness, and people who have seen through the world will naturally have some proud bones. I said a long time ago, don't provoke him, you just won't listen. I don't know what happened to him. ”

Wu Xiang sneered: "Why, I really want to hand over the military power to him." Big brother, you are also confused, a strategist, just do your duty as a strategist, if you really take charge of the military power, it is arrogance. I rebuked him like this for his own good! ”

When the army reached the station, they stopped. Zu Dashou said: "Yes, I won't say it." You should have borrowed troops as if it had never happened. This is a big brother, I beg you. This person must do great things, and he must not do evil. ”

Subsequently, he and Wu Xiang took a few of his subordinates and rushed to Shuntian Mansion. Outside the city gate, there were already officials on both sides of the road to welcome them. The two dismounted, thanked each other in return, and kept greetings. The people greeted him, and several generals hugged their fists in greeting, and then hurriedly entered the city to hand over the military orders.
