Chapter 243: Zhu Yanshou
In another battlefield, Qian Jiao did not escape the doom, after receiving the urgent report, the army was in turmoil, and Shi Jianjiao took the opportunity to lead the soldiers to charge. The experience of the old ancestor really did not deceive people, and the misfortune is not a single thing, Qian Biao was weak in his limbs because of vomiting blood, so he could only let his own soldiers take him to escape. But he met Shi Jianjiao, who rushed to kill behind Wu Yuejun. There is only one person who bullies each other, and he does not dodge. But who is Shi Jianjiao? The second good man after Li Cunxiao, 10,000 enemies may be impossible, but 100 enemies are still not a problem. As a result, Qian Jiao and his own soldiers were gone.
The whole army was wiped out, but after some fighting, the soldiers were killed by Shi Jianjiao alone, and they didn't even care about the money, and they scattered and fled. And Qian Jiao, who was obviously a big man, was cut off by Shi Jianjiao because of his resistance, and Shi Jianjiao did not kill him because the other party was obviously a general in Wu Yue's army. And Qian Jiao's personal soldiers saw that Qian Jiao was injured, and came back stupidly, but soon the speed was faster than before, and they were killed by Shi Jianjiao and they scattered and fled for their lives, and they didn't even care about Qian Jiao. The angry Qian Jiao's face was pale, and he was not so angry even when Shi Jianjiao cut off his arm.

"Your Highness!" Hearing that Li Cunhuan had entered the city, Yuan Xingqin, who quickly brought cavalry to protect him, saluted respectfully on horseback, but he immediately complained about Li Cunhuan. "Your Highness, what are you doing here! How do you get to such a dangerous place! The son of a daughter can't sit down! ”
Hearing this, Li Cunhuan smiled noncommittally, and stretched out seven or eight arms with dark or light colors, long or short scars. "The scars of this king don't have to go to you Yuan Xingqin! Stop complaining, order the soldiers not to get entangled with these routs! Attack the inner city quickly! The king will enter the inner city by tomorrow morning! As for Qian Biao, whether he is dead or alive, this king doesn't care! ”
Yuan Xingqin was stunned, and immediately responded: "Yes!" However, is Your Highness in too much of a hurry? ”
"No hurry! That's time to give the enemy a reaction! When the king wants to wait for Qian Biao to react, the king's knife is already on his neck! Li Cunhuan's eyes shot a gaze as sharp as a sword, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Please rest assured, Your Highness! Whoever comes, follow the general...... Rush! Hearing this, Yuan Xingqin hesitated, but still nodded vigorously, waved the steel cone bright silver spear in his hand, and roared angrily and led the cavalry into the dark street.
"Your Highness, although the inner city is small, it is built on Phoenix Mountain, which is not only strong, but also dangerous! Each attack is no more than 800 people, and no more will do. A hint of hesitation flashed in Du Ling's eyes, but he still decided to persuade tactfully. did not say that it was impossible to attack the inner city, but pointed out the defensive power of the inner city to dispel Li Cunhuan's thoughts.
"Tengyun, do you also think that this king is too anxious?" Li Cunhuan looked up at the inner city in the distance. The inner city, built on Phoenix Mountain, can be seen even from a distance, and the moonlight shines on the city walls, reflecting a hazy luster. Li Cunhuan knew that it was because the inner city was made of bluestone strips. From here, the fortification of the inner city can already be seen.
Du Ling nodded hesitantly and said, "Phoenix Mountain, it's not so easy to capture, otherwise Qian Biao wouldn't have chosen to build a city here!" A certain family believes that it is safer for His Highness to wait for the follow-up siege equipment to be transported. After all, His Royal Highness's soldiers and horses came by sea, and one person killed in battle was one less, no more than in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, soldiers could be recruited from Hebei and Hedong to the front line at any time to replenish them! ”
"This king understands what you mean, but Yang Xingmi and they won't give this king too much time!" A rare trace of anxiety appeared on Li Cunhuan's face, he was too risky this time. However, the risks and benefits are proportional, if he quickly captures Wu Yue this time, he can calmly lead his troops north, and under the front and back attacks, not only Yang Xingmi, Jiangnan will become his Li Cunhuan's bag. Although the world is uneven, it is not far away!
"In fact, there is a way to solve Yang Xingmi's problem, and there is one here at the end! It can make His Highness more calm to deal with Qian Biao! Du Ling groaned for a while and spoke.
"You mean Tian Yan and An Renyi, right? The two of them together are only the land of four states! There were about 37,800 soldiers and horses. I can't afford to stir up much wind and waves, but I can persuade them to surrender, but I'm afraid that their appetite is too big! Li Cunhuan said.
"What His Highness said is very true, but there will be one more person here at the end, Zhu Yanshou!" Du Ling said seriously.
"Zhu Yanshou? This person seems familiar! Where have you heard of it? Li Cunhuan frowned and muttered.
"This person is Yang Xingmi's brother-in-law!" Du Ling said.
Li Cunhuan looked sideways at Du Ling, and saw that his face was serious and not like a joke, so he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Is his sister a concubine?" ”
If his sister is a concubine, although she can be called a brother-in-law, she is not as good as a wife after all. It must be known that in ancient times, in addition to wives, concubines, concubines, and maids could be given away at will, and even temporarily considered a righteous daughter, and then given away, so as to envelop his generals.
This is the case of Diao Chan during the Three Kingdoms period, who was originally Wang Yun's maid, but Wang Yun used beauty tricks and serial schemes to provoke the separation of Lu Bu and Dong Chang, so he accepted Diao Chan as a righteous daughter. In fact, if it was in the Taiping period, Diao Chan would only become Wang Yun's plaything in the end, or it would become a gift to other ministers, where could she become a righteous daughter. So if Zhu Yanshou's sister is a concubine, such a relative is naturally dispensable for Yang Xingmi, and the next day, the concubine will be given to others, and Zhu Yanshou's brother-in-law will be replaced by someone else.
In this era, there is no saying that even if you die, you don't wear rotten straw sandals. Even if it is a big man like Han Shizhong, he is not married to Liang Hongyu, who was born in the women's branch of the camp. Even Zhu Wen was not spared, of course she was a concubine, and she gave birth to a son for Zhu Wen, Zhu Youqi. Later, he assassinated Zhu Wen and usurped the throne as emperor, but unfortunately he was pulled down by his own brother after not being in office for a few days.
Du Ling shook his head and said, "It's a wife!" ”
"Wife? No way? Li Cunhuan pulled off the reins of the horse slightly, slowed down the horse's speed, and looked sideways at Du Ling. Xindao: Du Ling is not joking, right? This is a real relative of the emperor, is it possible to rebel?
In all dynasties, the emperor's most trusted people were eunuchs and relatives. Although Yang Xingmi has not yet become the emperor, what is the difference between his rights and that of the emperor? Such imperial relatives and relatives rebelled, probably only the monarch was weak, and the queen mother hung the curtain to listen to the government, so that they had a basis for arrogance. But is this the case now? Although Yang Xingmi is nearly fifty years old, he is also strong and ambitious, no matter how you look at it, there should be no soil for Zhu Yanshou's arrogance. Besides, the interests of relatives are closely related to the emperor, will Zhu Yanshou betray Yang Xingmi?
Du Ling knew Li Cunhuan's doubts, and he no longer sold Guanzi. "This Zhu Yanshou is not an ordinary person, although he governs the army harshly, but his soldiers are not afraid of death, and he has a bit of the style of the pre-Qin Iron Army. Now it is the history of Shouzhou, but it is quite ambitious. Others don't know that the last general once inquired that Zhu Yanshou said such a sentence in his back garden. 'One life, just one hundred years! If you don't establish a world-famous hegemony, how can you be called a big husband! It can be seen that he is quite ambitious. ”
"Hegemony!" Li Cunhuan muttered softly, if he is willing to be a minister, this should be a meritorious career, not a hegemony! It seems that Zhu Yanshou has a lot of ambitions. It seems that Zhu Yanshou is a guy who is not willing to be lonely. Yang Xingmi's interests could not restrain his ambitions.
"Park Kyung-hui!" Li Cunhuan called in a deep voice.
"The lower official is here!" Park Kyung-hui rode to Lee Cun-hwan's side and answered in a loud voice. Although he is Lee Cun-hwan's staff, Park Kyung-hui is not a powerless scholar. In fact, the Tang Dynasty was full of martial arts, not as good as the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in later generations. Even the poet immortal Li Bai also danced well with swordsmanship. Not to mention that it is a troubled time now, although it is not as good as the average general, but with a fine armor, it is more than enough to protect itself under the attack of ordinary soldiers. So he didn't hide in the camp, but followed Li Cunhuan to the battlefield.
"Your Highness, please let the last general go! The last general and Zhu Yanshou, Tian Hao, and An Renyi have either met each other, and even if they haven't seen each other, they have heard of each other's names. If there is a letter from His Highness, he will be sure to persuade the three men. And the last will be a local, familiar with the situation, Park joined the army, in the end, he is from the North, his accent is not easy to hide, and it is easy to be discovered by the soldiers at the checkpoint! Du Ling said before Li Cunhuan spoke.
"Hmm!" Li Cunhuan couldn't help frowning, Du Ling's words were reasonable, but Du Ling's existence also helped him a lot. "There's no rush in this matter, let's talk about it after today!"
"Yes!" Du Ling also knew that although he was in a hurry, there was still a delay of one or two days.
"Your Highness, there is a Wu Yue army in front, and the martial arts who claim to be His Royal Highness Tou Cheng Xu Zaisi, they still have the token of Jinyiwei!" A soldier of the Iron Eagle Capital rode a horse to Li Cunhuan, and after saluting on horseback, he reported respectfully.
"Hmmm! Why didn't Feng Baodu show up, could it be...... Injured? Li Cunhuan's eyes widened, and he said urgently: "Let Xu think about it again!" Ask them about Feng Baodu! ”
"No!" The Iron Eagle soldiers replied and retreated.
It didn't take long for a blood-stained man to come to Li Cunhuan's vicinity on foot. A little tired, he arched his hand to Li Cunhuan and said: "The last general Xu Zaisi, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”
"Bold!" Seeing this, Zhu Jilong was furious, how old are you? He just arched his hands and didn't kneel.
"Forget it!" Li Cunhuan keenly saw that Xu Zaisi's left leg was a little unnatural when he walked over just now, and now by the light of the torches in the hands of nearby soldiers, he could vaguely see that Xu Zaisi's left leg seemed to be tied with a cloth belt. It is estimated that Xu Zaisi has an injury on his foot.
"Yes!" Seeing Li Cunwan's words, although he was unwilling, Zhu Jilong still retreated.
"What's wrong with Feng Baodu? Didn't come with you! Li Cunhuan asked with a frown.
