Chapter 494: Defeat is like a mountain
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are from humble backgrounds, and it is not a pity to die. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info but the slave is really wronged. If the slave died so inexplicably, it was really unwilling. And the slave and maid can't rest assured that Your Majesty, those rabbit cubs are all hairy, if they make Your Majesty unhappy, the slave and maid will be sad under Jiuquan. ”
Li Fang was afraid that Zhu Chenhao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained bitterly.
But King Ning obviously didn't listen to Li Fang's explanation, and continued to swing his sword at Li Fang.
Now Li Fang understood that King Ning was really crazy. People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and no matter how loyal Li Fang is to King Ning, it is impossible to kill him. Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people?
Taking advantage of King Ning's unsteady steps, he ran away with his head in his arms.
......
......
Qian Ning's departure was undoubtedly the last straw that overwhelmed Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning.
The arrogant and domineering Zhu Chenhao has a sense of pathos that the tree is falling and scattered.
Just as he hesitated, the camp was suddenly attacked.
A cavalry team of nearly 10,000 people rushed into the camp and cut down when they saw people, and King Ning's subordinates fled with their heads in their hands, without any intention of resisting.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this cavalry is professionally trained, and it can never be the guard army of Anqing Mansion. Then there is only one explanation - the arrival of the army reinforced by the imperial court.
Zhu Chenhao was puzzled, his sailor had blocked the entire river, how did the imperial court's reinforcements arrive in Anqing?
Is it by land? But in this way, they will have to walk a lot more, and it seems that they will not be able to do it in terms of time.
No matter how confused Zhu Chenhao was, he couldn't change it.
Zhu Chenhao thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that the imperial army would dare to take the initiative to attack his camp.
What about the sneak attack on Hongniwan? He deployed heavy troops in Hongniwan, but the imperial army did not come?
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly. If you don't withdraw, you won't be able to stand it. ”
This cavalry can be described as a division of tigers and wolves, and how can the army that Zhu Chenhao put together improvised be its opponent.
Zhu Chenhao was furious: "If you don't use something, you know how to run." How many times as many soldiers are there in the big battalion, can't they win? ”
Although he said so, he also understood that he really couldn't win.
The cavalry rushed into the camp and was unstoppable as soon as it got up. Minimizing losses is the best policy.
It's a pity that Hongniwan is still some distance away from the camp, but now it is blocked by this cavalry that suddenly killed.
If Zhu Chenhao wanted to lead the army to Hongniwan by boat, it would be impossible. The only option at the moment is to retreat south by land.
The roots of Zhu Chenhao's hateful teeth itched, but he was helpless.
If you continue to stay, the situation will not get any better, so it is better to go first......
"Withdraw!"
Zhu Chenhao made a painful decision: "Send someone to inform the garrison of Hongniwan and tell them to act cheaply and return to Jiujiang as soon as possible." ”
With the scale of the sailors docked at Hongniwan, as long as there is no accident, it is not difficult to break through the blockade of the imperial army and return to Jiujiang. Therefore, Zhu Chenhao was relieved to take the first step, and then asked the sailor to follow.
One of the soldiers was ordered to beat his horse and go away. The rest of the people followed Zhu Chenhao and got on the horse in a panic and headed south.
This includes Wang Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Li Shishi, the prime minister on the left, and Liu Yangzheng, the prime minister on the right.
didn't mention it, but said that Zhu Chenhao and his entourage retreated to Jiujiang, but the sailor failed to retreat.
Xie Shen had already deployed heavy troops in Hongniwan, and as soon as Zhu Chenhao retreated, the ambush soldiers there jumped out and took down the rebels.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the rebels in Hongniwan have the capital to fight with the imperial army. But after learning that King Ning left them and fled alone, the generals who led the troops were shocked and angry, and completely lost the will to fight to the death for King Ning.
Just kidding, is the king such a greedy and afraid of death, abandoning his subordinates, and still counting on his subordinates to die for him?
There is no such truth in the world.
Therefore, Xie Shen effortlessly took down the elite sailor under the command of King Ning, which can be described as a complete victory.
And Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, retreated to Jiujiang in a panic, although he was temporarily safe, he was not happy at all.
That sailor is his biggest reliance in the rebellion, and now that he has lost this trump card, what great cause is there to talk about?
Alas, is it really heaven that is going to kill him?
Just when Zhu Chenhao was hesitating, a sergeant suddenly came from Nanchang to fight horses.
Zhu Chenhao was stupid after summoning him to listen to the report.
Nanchang was breached?
He had already laid heavy troops around Poyang Lake, and as long as there was an army to go, he would be ambushed, and there would be no accidents.
Zhu Chenhao was puzzled, but suddenly remembered that it was Qian Ning's idea to deploy troops in Poyang Lake.
No wonder, no wonder......
Qian Ning's escape from the camp has already explained everything, he must be the informant that Zhengde planted next to Zhu Chenhao.
No wonder he insisted on deploying heavy troops at Poyang Lake, it turned out to be to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
The imperial army must have taken a detour from the other direction and taken Nanchang City directly.
Although Zhu Chenhao was angry after the fiasco of Anqing Mansion, he was able to calm down after the anger. Because this is at most an unsuccessful sortie, as long as you retreat to Jiangxi, there will be a chance to regroup.
But if Nanchang City is conquered, it will really mean that the sky is falling apart.
Nanchang is Zhu Chenhao's old nest, and he has been operating for many years, and every arrangement is painstaking.
Now that he has been taken down by the imperial court, where else can Zhu Chenhao go?
Although Jiujiang and Nankang are strategic places, there is no buffer space.
The imperial court sent out a division from Anqing to the south, and it could easily oppress Jiujiang and Nankangcheng.
Zhu Chenhao doesn't have the courage to "guard the country by the Son of Heaven", and he doesn't think that the defense line of Jiujiang and Nankang can last long.
But Nanchang City has been broken, where else can he go if he doesn't garrison Jiujiang and Nankang?
The right prime minister, Liu Yangzheng, offered a plan to attack Nanchang and pull out the nail buried behind him.
From a normal logical point of view, this is indeed Zhu Chenhao's only choice.
If Zhu Chenhao wants to turn defeat into victory, he must retake Nanchang.
But Zhu Chenhao had already been frightened, where did he still have the idea of taking the initiative to seek war, and immediately rejected Liu Yangzheng's suggestion.
Liu Yangzheng almost fainted, trembling all over and leaving angrily.
As for Wang Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is completely a figure who has a whisker and shoots horses.
He saw that Zhu Chenhao did not want to attack Nanchang, so he suggested retreating to Ji'an Mansion.
This suggestion is exactly what Zhu Chenhao wants.
In his opinion, although Ji'an has no natural dangers to defend, it is a big city in Jiangxi second only to Nanchang.
As long as you retreat to Ji'an and recruit new troops, you will soon be able to recover.
And the whole of Jiangxi is in his hands, and the siege of Nanchang will definitely be able to recapture it.
In this way, it has returned to the original battle situation, which is nothing more than that Anqing Mansion has not been defeated, and it cannot be regarded as the sky falling.
......
......
I have to say that the saying that character determines fate is so true.
Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao is suspicious by nature, indecisive, mean and unkind, no matter how you look at it, he is not a male lord who wins the world.
If such a person can win the world and sit in the Dragon Court, how unbearable the opponent will be.
However, Zhu Chenhao obviously did not have such an awareness, he was still immersed in the dream of imperial hegemony and couldn't extricate himself, thinking that as long as he regained his strength, he could still threaten Zhu Houzhao's throne. As everyone knows, he only has one chance, and that is to take Ying Tianfu with lightning speed. Only in this way can we be qualified to rule the river with Zhu Houzhao and fight against each other.
But the reality is that Zhu Chenhao has been defeated again and again, not only can he not beat Anqing, but he even lost his nest Nanchang. It's really home.
However, it was said that after Zhu Chenhao led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Ji'an Mansion, it didn't take long for Jiujiang and Nankang to be broken by Xie Shen. This is a perfectly normal thing. If Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, guards the Jiujiang and Nankang lines, he may be able to resist the offensive. But if he leaves, which of the soldiers below will die for him?
As soon as the army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion arrived, they threw away their armor and opened the city to greet each other.
In this way, the door of Jiangxi is open, and there is no danger to defend at all. In addition, Nanchang returned to the hands of the imperial court, and the defeat of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, showed that there was no chance of victory.
But King Ning obviously won't be caught with his hands tied and killed. He changed into the clothes of a monk and wanted to escape to the mountains to become a monk to avoid the limelight, but he revealed the news and was captured by his subordinates in a land temple outside the city and taken to Nanchang.
In the face of the betrayal of his subordinates, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was furious, and greeted the other party's eighteenth generation of female relatives along the way.
But this did not affect his subordinates' determination to offer him credit, and no one stood up to speak for him. Zhu Chenhao's betrayal and separation can be seen.
At this time, Xie Shen had already led his army to Nanchang and joined Wang Shouren.
In the palace of Nanchang Ningwang, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Shouren, you can be regarded as famous in a fight this time. If you hadn't taken Nanchang City by surprise, King Ning would not have been defeated so quickly. ”
Wang Shouren waved his hand a little embarrassed and said, "Siming praised it falsely." The foolish brother just did what he could do, and when it comes to countering the rebellion, it should be the four clear. ”
This is not that Wang Shouren intends to welcome Xie Shen and pat him on the back, but he really feels that Xie Shen is strategizing and winning a thousand miles.
King Ning led a large army to besiege Anqing Mansion for many days, and the soldiers defending the city were at a loss. Less than ten days after Xie Shen led his army to arrive, he defeated King Ning, causing him to collapse.
Xie Shen defeated King Ning's main force on the frontal battlefield and laid the foundation for the victory, compared to Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren's can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, the last inch.
"Haha, Brother Shouren, the two of us shouldn't boast to each other here, right? It's weird. Everything should be reported to Your Majesty as it is, and your Majesty will judge. ”
"That's how it should be."
Wang Shouren also smiled.
"Siming, there is one thing that the foolish brother has never understood, why did Qian Ning betray King Ning? Could it be that he was really the eyeliner sent by the imperial court to be placed next to King Ning? ”
If it is really as Wang Shouren guessed, then this move of the imperial court is too wonderful.
Xie Shen smiled bitterly and said: "Where is there such a mystery, this is obviously King Ning's suspicion, which caused Qian Ning to defect." ”
Although Qian Ning is not a good thing, he will not betray King Ning easily out of profit.
Even he defected, which is enough to see how unpopular King Ning is.
When the two were talking happily, Lu Chongtian walked into the palace hall and hugged his fists and said: "General Qiyu, the traitor Zhu Chenhao has been escorted to Nanchang. ”
Xie Shen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The speed is really fast." ”
It was a member of his command who escorted Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, into Nanchang, and the fierce general was famous.
This person saw that King Ning's defeat was decided, and he didn't want to give King Ning a funeral, so he gathered his men and prepared to take King Ning and present it to the court. In this way, they can at least be exempted from the sin of rebellion and save the lives of their wives and children, not to mention meritorious service.
When Gao Li led his troops to capture King Ning, he found that this guy had already packed up and ran away.
Gao Li was shocked, and hurriedly sent troops to chase him, and finally chased King Ning at a land temple dozens of miles away from Ji'an Fucheng.
At this time, Zhu Chenhao was sleeping soundly on a simple grass bed made of a handful of weeds, and after being picked up by Gao Li's people, he thought that these were his subordinates who followed him. Who knew that those soldiers couldn't help but say that they tied him up.
Zhu Chenhao was furious and greeted the female relatives of these soldiers.
These soldiers dare not speak out against King Ning on weekdays, but now that King Ning is a down-and-out prince who dares to dictate to them, how can they not be angry.
At the instigation of a hundred households, several soldiers simply threw King Ning to the ground, stripped off his clothes and pants, and beat the board to vent his anger.
The dignified king of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles of Tianhuang were spanked by several big-headed soldiers, and I am afraid that people will stare out when they say it.
It can only be said that King Ning can't live because of his own evils, and he has nothing to rebel against.
Those soldiers hated him to the core, and if they hadn't thought about dedicating King Ning to the court to invite merit, they would have killed this evil animal with a black cane.
Rao is so Ning Wang's buttocks and legs are still bruised and black, although there is no bleeding, it is already very terrifying.
The soldiers lifted King Ning's trousers, threw him on horseback and escorted him back to Ji'an.
Gao Li couldn't cry or laugh when he saw King Ning's embarrassed appearance, he just wanted to laugh a few words, but King Ning spit a mouthful of phlegm on Gao Li's face.
Gao Li was furious, wiped off the phlegm stains on his face, and then rushed forward and slapped King Ning's two big mouths.
Seeing that King Ning was still scolding, Gao Li took off his socks and stuffed them into King Ning's mouth as soon as he had an idea.
At this time, King Ning could only let out a whining sound like a cat's meow, and the laughter was high and leaned back and forth.
From Ji'an to Nanchang, in addition to eating and drinking, King Ning was stuffed with the torn socks in his mouth, which smoked him to the ground.
Xie Shen sneered and said, "Bring him in!" ”
Lu Chongtian hugged his fists and took the order, and King Ning, who was tied like a meat dumpling after a short time, was escorted into the palace.
It stands to reason that this Ning Wangfu is Zhu Chenhao's territory, and he was furious when he saw Xie Shen sitting on top and staring at him with a smile.
But he couldn't speak with his socks stuffed in his mouth, so he had to stomp his feet desperately in protest.
Xie Shen suddenly got up and walked to his side, and said lightly: "You must want to know who this official is, then you can remember that this official is Xie Shen, a member of the cabinet of the current dynasty." You can remember, if you want to take revenge in the next life, don't recognize the wrong person. ”
A trace of horror flashed in King Ning's eyes, obviously understanding that he was defeated by Xie Shen.
"You must also want to know if Qian Ning is an informant planted by the imperial court."
Zhu Chenhao nodded desperately, if he didn't know the truth of this matter, he wouldn't be blind to death.
Xie Shen smiled, spread his hands and said, "Actually, Qian Ning has nothing to do with the imperial court, he probably really wants to be loyal to you, but unfortunately you drove him away." ”
