Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, sat on the throne of the palace, listening to the report of Wang Lun, the secretary of the military department, and only felt happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's so fucking cool! King Ning's line was suppressed, and the humiliation of the fifth emperor was swept away at this moment.

Zhu Chenhao seemed to see the scene where he entered the Beijing Division, with his back to the north and facing south, to accept the call of the ministers from the mountains to live long live.

Now he has taken Nanchang, conquered Jiujiang and Nankang one after another, and controlled the whole of Jiangxi.

His army has already surrounded Anqing, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken.

His ultimate goal is to conquer Nanjing, cut off Zhu Houzhao's retreat, catch the turtle in the urn again, capture Zhu Houzhao alive and make him kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.

Although Zhu Chenhao has not taken Nanjing now, he has changed the name of Zhengde and become the emperor.

He appointed Li Shishi as the left prime minister, Liu Yangzheng as the right prime minister, Wang Lun as the secretary of the military department, and Qian Ning as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, forming a set of his own imperial court team.

For this reason, Li Shishi also advised Zhu Chenhao, thinking that it was unwise to claim the emperor too early.

But where could Zhu Chenhao listen to persuasion, and under the instigation of Qian Ning, he directly sealed the vassals.

This King Ning even had a full set of dragon robes ready, I don't know how many times he had changed them in private, and the angry Li Shishi almost vomited blood.

Zhu Chenhao did everything desperately, and Li Shishi had no choice but to follow Zhu Chenhao to rebel.

He suggested taking Nanjing directly, but Zhu Chenhao was worried that this would be unsafe, and decided to cross the Yangtze River to fight Anqing. Wait until Anqing is defeated and then attack Nanjing.

Liu Yangzheng hesitated, and finally Zhu Chenhao made a decision to fight Anqing first!

Except for a small number of troops left behind in Jiujiang, Jiankang, and Nanchang, most of the troops rushed to Anqing.

But the city was much tougher than they thought.

After three days of siege, there is still no sign of conquering the city.

It's just that when these words came to Wang Lun's mouth, they became a city that could be broken. It's no wonder that Zhu Chenhao smiled.

"Wang Butang's words are wrong."

Li Shishi didn't want Zhu Chenhao to continue to be immersed in fantasy dreams, and said fiercely: "Now that Anqing can't be conquered for a long time, the army of the puppet dynasty will soon be reinforced, and then it will be impossible to withdraw even if you want to!" ”

"Why withdraw? We can just besiege the city and send reinforcements and eat the reinforcements! ”

Wang Lun's beard trembled, and Li Shishi raised the bar.

"You!"

Li Shishi was so angry that he almost turned his back on him, he no longer paid attention to Wang Lun, who was messing around, but turned to Zhu Chenhao.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, the reinforcements are rushing to Anqing, the garrison of Nanjing City is empty, as long as we pounce on Nanjing, we will definitely be able to take it down."

In Li Shishi's view, if King Ning wants to win the world and sit in the Dragon Court, Nanjing will have to be taken sooner or later.

Since you have to fight early, you have to fight late, it's better to fight early.

As long as Nanjing is taken, the morale of the army will surely rise greatly. At that time, if you go north to win the Beijing Division, the emperor will be successful.

Even if you don't go in the direction of Beijing, you can still dominate Nanjing and rule by rowing the river.

However, if Nanjing cannot be taken, the morale of the army will inevitably become more and more weak, and there is a possibility that it will be exterminated by the imperial court at any time.

Rebellion is no joke, it's a pin of your head to your belt. Once it fails, it will be wiped out by the Nine Clans.

"Now that Anqing has been surrounded, you told me to turn to Ying Tianfu instead? Prime Minister Li, aren't you old and confused? ”

Li Shishi's prepared words choked in his throat for a while.

How does this make him answer?

"Your Majesty, the old minister is dedicated to His Majesty. The loyalty of the old minister can be learned from heaven and earth! ”

Zhu Chenhao was already red-eyed at this time, where could he still listen to persuasion. He waved his hand and said, "I know Li Xiang's loyalty, but you don't have to talk about it all the time, right?" It's not annoying once, but it's disgusting to say it again and again. ”

Zhu Chenhao is not stupid, of course he knows that there is no problem with Li Shishi's loyalty.

Those who can follow him to rebel have long been grasshoppers on the same rope as him, and they are both prosperous and lossless.

But being loyal doesn't mean seeing the battle thoroughly.

No matter how difficult Anqing is, it must be gnawed. Otherwise, if you really want to turn around and fight Nanjing, but you don't beat it in the end, your morale will collapse.

And Zhu Chenhao felt that Nanjing could not be easier to fight than Anqing, after all, it was also the capital set by Emperor Taizu, and there was no doubt about the solidity of the city wall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister, the old minister......"

Li Shishi almost collapsed, he turned to look at Liu Yangzheng, and sighed: "Brother Lianhe, please persuade Your Majesty." ”

Liu Yangzheng can also be regarded as a more knowledgeable supporter of King Ning.

He twisted his beard and said, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, it is the best policy to attack Nanjing first." ”

At this time, the expression on Zhu Chenhao's face was a little ugly.

He has the same view as Wang Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, that is, to gnaw the hard bone of Anqing.

But the prime ministers on the left and right said that fighting Nanjing was the best choice. Doesn't that make him ugly!

The most important thing is that this difference of opinion is really a bit big and cannot be easily resolved.

Once people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to get together again.

"What does Qian Qing think?"

Wang Lun saw that Liu and Li were wearing a pair of pants, so naturally they had to bring out a rescuer.

Qian Ning smiled slyly and said: "Actually, it's not wrong to attack Anqing or Nanjing." ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "The key is to lure Zhu Houzhao into recruiting in person. As long as he is personally recruited, we have a chance to capture him alive. ”

"Lord Qian isn't joking, right? He has more troops than us, and he is stronger than us in terms of generals' ability, so he can sit in the rear and supervise the battle, so why risk his life? ”

Li Shishi frowned.

"Haha, Li Xiang still doesn't know much about this ridiculous genius."

Qian Ning's voice suddenly chilled: "With Qian's understanding of him, he will definitely recruit himself." Not only will they be in person, but they will also take the lead. ”

"This ......"

Qian Ning's words left Li Shishi speechless.

After all, Qian Ning used to be Zhengde's favorite minister, so he naturally knew his temperament very well.

If there was anyone in King Ning's array who dared to say this, it would be Qian Ning.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Zhu Chenhao's good mood disappeared with the quarrel of several ministers, and he swept the four of them with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "I think what Qian Qing said is the most reasonable." As the saying goes, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first and capture the king. As long as you win Zhengde, are you still afraid of others? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wang Lun, the wall-top grass, immediately fell to Qian Ning's side.

"Commander Qian will tell me how to capture Zhengde."

"It's simple. Just sell a flaw and leave the back to him. ”

"Leave your back to him?"

"Your Majesty can spread the news that Nanchang is empty. That Zhengde is very competitive, and he will definitely lead his troops to Nanchang when he hears the news. ”

......

......

"However, Nanchang is really empty of troops."

Zhu Chenhao frowned and said: "If Zhengde really leads the elite troops to take Nanchang directly, it will be too late for me to save me." ”

This time, he broke the kettle and took almost all the main forces out of Jiangxi, and the old nest was basically old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Your Majesty can arrange for an army to be on the road to Nanchang. If you don't wait for Zhengde to arrive in Nanchang, you can capture it! ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Chenhao admired Qian Ning more and more.

"Tell me where to place this strange soldier?"

Qian Ning pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said: "Your Majesty, please see, our army is now besieging Anqing Mansion, and if Zhengde wants to attack Nanchang, he will definitely bypass the main force of our army." ”

After a pause, Qian Ning continued: "In this way, it is unlikely that you will come from the direction of Chizhou Mansion." Zhengde is now stationed in Hangzhou, and if he is to send troops, it is very likely that he will come from the direction of Sui'an. ”

"Are you saying that Zhengde will cross the Majinling and enter the Le'an River through Wushui?"

Zhu Chenhao narrowed his eyes and stared at this land and water artery.

He has lived in Nanchang for a long time and is very familiar with the topography of Nanchang and even the whole of Jiangxi.

It's not that he's interested in it, it's that he's always thinking about rebellion.

A person who thinks about rebellion all the time will naturally look at the map all day long and study the method of deploying troops.

Along the Le'an River, you can go all the way west to Raozhou Mansion.

Cross Poyang Lake from Raozhou Mansion, and you can come to Nanchang Mansion all the way.

Zhu Chenhao's main forces were hoarded on the line of Jiujiang and Nankang to control Nanhuzui.

If Zhu Houzhao found that Nanchang was empty, the most likely route of the march would be to take the Raozhou Mansion and cross Poyang Lake to attack the rear.

"You mean, in Wushui?"

Zhu Chenhao said while brushing his beard.

"No, it's Raozhou Mansion Soldiers."

Qian Ning said categorically.

"Why?"

Zhu Chenhao was slightly stunned, puzzled.

"When Zhu Houzhao arrives at Poyang Lake, is it too late?"

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation."

Qian Ning pointed to the map and said, "Since Zhu Houzhao is going to make a surprise attack, he will naturally not bring too many soldiers. If our army deploys heavy troops in Wushui, then Zhu Houzhao can turn around and flee to Sui'an if he senses that something is wrong. Then it will be beyond the reach of the whip. ”

He swallowed a mouthful of foam and continued, "So what Your Majesty has to do is to invite you into the urn. Since you want to sell the flaws to him, you have to sell it like a little, otherwise how could Zhu Houzhao take the bait. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Chenhao tapped his fingers repeatedly, his expression changing.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "You said that you would deploy troops in Poyang Lake, but what if Zhu Houzhao bypassed Poyang Lake and marched from the front line of Fuzhou Mansion?" ”

Qian Ning shook his head and said, "Your Majesty and the minister once, this Zhu Houzhao will never be willing to seek the near and far in order to be safe." His temperament is the strongest, which is also his biggest weakness. ”

"What do you think of a few Aiqing?"

Now there are only a few people that Zhu Chenhao can count on to make suggestions. Zuo Prime Minister Li Shishi listened to Qian Ning's analysis and felt that it seemed to make some sense, but he felt that something was wrong, so he shook his head and said: "It's not good for the old minister to say anything, but at least it's better than besieging Anqing." ”

"You!"

Wang Lun, the secretary of the military department, was furious, pointed at Li Shishi and said sharply: "What do you mean, what's wrong with besieging Anqing!" ”

Zhu Chenhao pressed down with both hands, coughed, and said, "Now we are discussing the method of Commander Qian, why did you go back again?" ”

Zhu Chenhao set his eyes on Liu Yangzheng again.

Prime Minister Liu Cheng was a little hairy, so he had to analyze it head-on: "This method is feasible, but it is too gambling." If you win the bet, it is naturally good, and you can capture Zhengde alive. But if the bet is lost, it is a loss of an army in vain. At present, Your Majesty is the time to use soldiers, and every soldier is very precious. ”

Prime Minister Liu Cheng's words obviously went to Zhu Chenhao's heart.

He claimed to be 100,000 men when he raised his army, but he knew in his heart that he had less than 50,000 soldiers in his hands, and almost half of them were in the north.

The siege of Anqing has reached the most critical time, and it is taboo to divide troops at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order, if Zhengde does not attack Nanchang from Poyang Lake, so as to delay the military aircraft, please behead the minister!"

At this moment, Qian Ning gritted his teeth as a protector.

Since he was demoted from Beijing by Zhu Houzhao, he has a grudge against Zhu Houzhao.

He simply met King Ning, and both of them hated Zhu Houzhao to the core, so they naturally hit it off.

However, because Qian Ning used to be Zhu Houzhao's favorite retainer and was not a descendant of King Ning, Zhu Chenhao was somewhat suspicious of Qian Ning.

Right now, Qian Ning urgently needs to get King Ning to dispel his concerns about him.

"Good! Since Qian Qing has said this, if I don't allow it anymore, I can't say it. ”

A gleam flashed in Zhu Chenhao's eyes, and he said loudly: "Take a pen and paper!" ”

Qian Ning's heart sank, and he really wanted me to make a military order.

But if you say it, you splash the water. At this moment, it was too late for Channing to regret it.

In desperation, he had to take the pen and paper from the hand of the attendant and resolutely write the military order.

After a cup of tea, Qian Ningfang wrote the general's order.

He swept it over, and then handed the military order to Zhu Chenhao to see.

After reading it, Zhu Chenhao nodded frequently and said, "Okay, Qian Qing's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon." Li Qing, Liu Qing, Wang Qing and be a witness. ”

Qian Ning said in his heart, this King Ning seems to be a mean and unkind lord, and his heart is obviously not as good as Zhengde.

If such a person becomes an emperor, he must be a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey.

It's a pity that Qian Ning can't get off the boat at this moment, and can only hope that Zhu Chenhao will win all the way.

"How many people does Qian Qing think it is better for me to ambush in Poyang?"

Qian Ning took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Three thousand is enough." ”

"Three thousand, you want three thousand?"

Zhu Chenhao was furious.

"You know how tight the front line is. At this time, you asked me to allocate 3,000 people to Poyang Lake? ”

"Your Majesty, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it."

Qian Ning's voice was full of helplessness.

In fact, he also knows that now is the time when the war situation is tight. But what if you besiege and take Anqing Mansion with all your might?

There are so many prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to fight them one by one, right?

As long as Yingtianfu or Shuntianfu is not taken, it has no essential significance.

"You make me think again!"

Zhu Chenhao only felt bored, got up and paced with his hands behind his back.

After pacing for nearly a hundred steps, Zhu Chenhao suddenly turned around and said, "You have to promise me that Zhu Houzhao will personally lead the army to attack Nanchang." ”

"If Zhu Houzhao does not arrive, the minister will kill himself in front of His Majesty."

Qian Ning gritted his teeth and sobbed.
