Liu Chenweng didn't care whether Deng Guangjian really didn't know or pretended to be confused, he nodded in the direction where Li Si was, and without waiting for Deng Guangjian to speak, Liu Chenweng had already read it out to himself: "Ask the canal to be as clear as water, for there is a source of living water." ”

With a moving expression, Deng Guangxuan followed Liu Chenweng's gaze and looked at Li Si, who was standing not far away, and his tone was a little solemn: "Bringing living water to fight the fire, Your Majesty's move is really unexpected." Maybe many people ignore the existence of Li Changxi. ”

Liu Chenweng was silent for a moment, and nodded solemnly: "Those people still naively think that by making a little mess or making a little trouble for Your Majesty, you can make Your Majesty retreat, so that they can also take advantage of this opportunity to go further, so as to continue to compete with Your Majesty for the power of the world, but how could they have thought that Your Majesty in Nanjing at this moment is so weak and helpless on the surface?" ”

Deng Guangjian exhaled lightly, Ye Yingwu basically sent all the ministers he pulled out outside, including Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu and other important ministers were not in the capital, and it was difficult to rush back because of the war in the north, so many people saw an opportunity to take advantage of this big court, but where did they think that this was actually just a good way to lure the snake out of the hole.

Ye Yingwu wants to really clean them up, where is the use to find Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu and others, just a Li Si came back, it was enough for them to drink a pot.

"Maybe in Your Majesty's heart, you don't regard them as real opponents at all," Liu Chenweng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Majesty has been delaying until this great court meeting, maybe it's not the stalemate we imagined, but Your Majesty is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all the internal enemies." ”

"If that's the case, then Your Majesty is really calculating." Deng Guangjian couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's a pity that there are still so many people trying to challenge Your Majesty······"

Liu Chenweng shook his head slightly, interrupting Deng Guangjian: "Old Deng, be cautious!" ”

The words paused suddenly, and Deng Guangjian raised his head silently. They weren't noticed around, and maybe no one cared about the two insignificant bachelors at this time. With a sudden self-defeating smile, Deng Guangjian looked at Liu Chenweng beside him: "This muddy water, we really don't step on it?" If you don't step into it this time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future. ”

Liu Chenweng tilted his head slightly, was silent for a long time, and then said lightly: "Since Lao Deng, you want to step in so much, then we might as well go in and break in." What's more, don't forget, even if the two of us want to stay out of the matter, will Your Majesty agree, and the newly arrived Lee Sang-gong, will agree······"

After a pause, Liu Chenweng laughed at himself and sighed: "No matter what, we are also two people." ”

And Deng Guangjian stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Chenweng's sleeve, followed Deng Guangjian's gaze, I don't know when, Li Si, who was standing on the left side of the two people, turned his head sideways to look at this side, this guy who has always been unsmiling, was looking at the two of them with a smile.

A mouthful of white teeth is exposed.

"Start the early dynasty and enter the palace!" At this moment, a thunderous sound sounded above, and the door of the Zichen Hall of the main hall of the Ming Palace slowly opened, and the sunlight sprinkled on the pillars of the vermilion lacquer of the main hall, shining brightly.

Two rows of armor soldiers walked out of the hall with sonorous steps, standing along both sides of the steps, the spears in their hands were generally straight to the sky, each face under the sun was young but angular, even standing in this perhaps the safest place of the Ming Dynasty, their faces also carried a chilling murderous aura - this is the momentum of the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield,

At the same time, behind the hundred officials, the gate of the imperial city slowly closed, and the same two groups of janissary guards shouted neat trumpets along both sides of the city wall, and after reaching the city gate, the team turned sharply and stood along both sides of the imperial city road, standing as straight as their companions on the steps.

The royal majesty was fully revealed at this moment, and many people also subconsciously raised their vigilance, whether the Praetorian Guard was arranged according to the convention or not, in the eyes of those who had ghosts in their hearts, this was undoubtedly a dismount given to them by His Majesty. The closed city gate and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard lined up are all announcing who the master of this imperial city and this world is.

Wen Tianxiang, the head of the civil officials, and Liu Shiyong, the head of the military generals—the military generals in the Ming Dynasty were basically outside, so Liu Shiyong, the secretary of the military department, was already the largest—and they moved forward at the same time, and behind them the civil and military officials of the brigade followed closely.

"Let's go." Liu Chenweng's gaze retracted and he took a step.

And Deng Guangjian followed closely beside him, his eyes swept over the bodies of the surrounding Praetorian Guards, and when he walked up the steps, he finally couldn't help but sigh: "These soldiers who have returned from a hundred battles, I'm afraid they would never have thought that they were fighting bloodily in front, and someone would even stab them in the back." ”

Liu Chenweng squinted his eyes, his footsteps did not pause at all, and said in a voice that only Deng Guangjian could hear beside him: "You and I are both people who study history and read history, and there are still few such things in all dynasties, and even when Your Majesty was in the former Song Dynasty, he was not stabbed in the back without being stabbed in the back." ”

With a sneer, Deng Guangjian's fists clenched: "Don't forget, how many of those who stabbed behind His Majesty have had a good end over the years?" ”

The Zichen Hall is already close at hand, and the majestic hall symbolizes the dignity of the Ming Dynasty as the first imperial dynasty in the world, and also symbolizes the unparalleled authority of the royal family. At this moment, the Zichen Hall is like a bottomless pit, attracting everyone to walk in, as for how many people can come out in the end, no one knows.

——————————————————————---

"Boom!" A firetle-thistle exploded on the hillside, and smoke billowed up.

More thistles pierced through the smoke and smashed around the fluttering black flag on the hillside. The soldiers of the Ming army of the brigade roared angrily in the next moment to break through the smoke and dust, and the red dragon flags danced in the morning light, and the bright swords and guns carried the threat of death.

"Be sure to take the eastern hillside within half an hour!" Jiang Shao, who was holding the handle of the knife in his hand, shouted loudly, this young man from a merchant family, at this time, no longer has the usual polite demeanor, his face is dark with gunpowder, not to mention, his voice is also a little hoarse because of the loud roar, and there are even blood stains on his robe, and the whole person is like being reborn compared to before.

As the scout Du Cheng Dutou, who had a lot of battlefield experience, had a hunch, the Mongols did arrive at Gaoshupo first, but it was obvious that the Mongols were only "one step earlier", and before they could gain a firm foothold, the Ming army drove over.

Although Jiang Shao and Di Meng were shocked by the sudden appearance of the Mongol army's forward, they knew better that Gao Shupo could not fall into the hands of the Mongol Tatars, so they soon divided their troops into two routes, one to attack the valley head-on, and the other to attack the eastern slope of the valley flank, at least half of Gao Shupo, if the first division went back in such a disgraced manner, not to mention how to think of Lou Yong's explanation, it might even shake the entire Nanyang war situation.

After Di Meng left, Jiang Shao, as the supervisor, naturally assumed the heavy responsibility of commanding this way, and this supervisor, who has always been calm and steady and even a little bookish on weekdays, did not hesitate to command the army to launch a fierce attack, whether it was the decisive and ruthless way of attacking, or Jiang Shao's courage to come to the front line to supervise the battle, all made the brigade commanders below secretly speechless.

At this time, they realized that their own supervisor was definitely not just a young man who only knew how to preach, his usual light was just suppressed by Di Meng, or Jiang Shao knew Di Meng's temper, so he deliberately restrained himself, so as to ensure that some people in the first division sang white faces and red faces, and could achieve the role of checks and balances and co-ordination.

This young man is not simple. Or, how many of the entire Ming army are fuel-efficient? What can really sharpen a general is war, the war that will be won in the end, because it will bring them courage and confidence, and it will also allow them to analyze and adjust while moving forward, instead of running away when they fail, not caring about anything, and finally learning to become a "runaway general".

The more victorious the army is, the more vulnerable it is. The biggest difference between the army of the former Song Dynasty and the army of the Ming Dynasty is here, the army of the former Song Dynasty is the latter, and the army of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the former.

Through a series of victories such as the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, Ye Yingwu finally sharpened the generals who belonged to the Ming Dynasty and dared to show their swords and could win battles. Perhaps in history, they hurriedly appeared and left after failing to resist the enemy's attack, but in this era, they have more powerful subordinates, more powerful weapons, enough opportunities for training, and more importantly, they have the determination to win and the courage to fight, and they have the military spirit, and they will naturally change from a general who has suffered defeat to a victorious general.

Ye Yingwu never believed that if he could give them everything that could be better than the enemy, they could still fail. In the face of the dim Tiantian of another era, the generals who had the courage to organize the guerrillas to fight bloody battles with the Mongol Tatars and were defeated again and again were definitely not only because they had a warm blood, but they could not resist for so long under the iron hooves of the Mongols with their blood.

These short-lived "defeated generals" in history, if they have better armies and equipment, should be able to unleash all their abilities. There are many heroes in troubled times, and Ye Yingwu believes that these people will not let him down. And the facts have proved that this is indeed the case, whether it is Zhang Shijie, Yin Yu, or Wang Huchen, Wang Dayong, or Ma Yan, Lou Yong and Jiang Shao, they are all using their fruitful achievements to prove that although Chu can kill Qin, how can there be no one in China?

At this time, Jiang Shao, who was standing in this flesh-and-blood battlefield, did not have the heart to think about his performance or the new opinions of his subordinates around him, his eyes could not be separated from the black flag on the top of the mountain.

That banner is like a nail, inlaid in the hearts of all Ming soldiers, as long as this flag is still there, the eastern slope is in the hands of the damned Mongol Tartars. Around the banner, too many Ming soldiers shed blood and sacrificed, and more people are desperately moving forward and dying to eradicate it.

"Artillery, artillery bombardment!" A brigade commander's roar was heard beside him, and Jiang Shao squinted at the hillside ahead, which was actually not steep. It can be said that the tenacity shown by the Mongol Tartars was indeed beyond his expectations, and the Ming army had already suffered more than half of the casualties in the first attack, and if it were not for several brigade commanders to personally rush forward with their personal guards, I am afraid that the first attack might really be repulsed.

The complex topography of the high tree slope is called "slope", which is actually several slopes and valleys connected into one, but because these slopes are difficult to distinguish their obvious boundaries, they can only be given such a general name. The most dangerous part of the high tree slope is the valley and hillside in the middle, and the road through it is guarded, but if you want to attack the valley on the east side, you have to take the slope further east.

Obviously, the Mongols also realized this, so they arrived here first, although there were not many enemies on the hillside, and it seemed that they should only be forwards, but with the terrain, they were able to block the impact of the Ming army, which also made Jiang Shao dare not take it lightly.

The artillery, which had been lagging behind the team, finally caught up at this time, the muzzle of the cannon was raised high, and in the neat roar, arcs cut through the sky. Countless shells whizzed down on the top of the hillside, blowing up countless clouds of dirt and smoke, and the fluttering black Mongolian flag was erased.

"Kill!" A Ming brigade commander stepped out of the crowd, pointing the knife in his hand at the hillside that had been baptized by artillery fire. This is the first time that the Dali army has fought with the Mongolian Tatars, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, otherwise it will definitely be a big blow to the morale of the soldiers, especially many of the soldiers of the Dali army are Zhenla, of course, there are no local Chinese soldiers to rely on.

Therefore, these brigade commanders who were in charge of commanding on the front line just now saw that the shock team was showing signs of wanting to collapse, and they did not hesitate to rush up with their people, and now the artillery is following in time, which makes them see the possibility of taking this hillside.

The sound of neat killing sounded behind the brigade commander, and the soldiers of the Ming army of the brigade rushed up like a tidal wave.

"Kill the Nanban!" An Ilkhanate general also stood up in the aftermath of the explosion at this time, the knife in his hand was raised, and the surviving Ilkhanate soldiers roared angrily and rushed with him, but compared to the Ming army of thousands of people, the remaining more than 100 Ilkhanate soldiers were a little lonely.

The tide of the Ming army completely engulfed more than a hundred figures.

Jiang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, ignored the obstruction of the guards, and strode towards the hillside. The hillside is full of corpses of the Ming army and the Ilkhanate soldiers, who were enemies of each other and fought bloodily, and lay together peacefully after death. The Mongol Tartar flag had been torn to shreds and had fallen on the land the Mongols had once held, and potholes were scattered all over the hillside after artillery bombardment.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Jiang Shao understood this truth, so he gave the brigade commanders below a death order, they must take the hillside within half an hour, because half an hour is the time for two attacks. If you can't take two attacks, I'm afraid you won't have to fight later.

But fortunately, the baggage team that lagged behind sent the artillery up in time, and several brigade commanders did not hesitate to put themselves in the front, so that all the soldiers did not retreat, and unexpectedly broke through the defense of the Mongols directly - perhaps the shelling of the head and face also made the Mongols a little confused, they never thought that the southern barbarians would even fire directly regardless of their own casualties at this tricky time.

Breaking through the eastern slope was only the outermost defense line of the enemy's flank, and without Jiang Shao's orders, the Ming army had already launched an attack on more enemies farther away.

And Jiang Shao took out his clairvoyance with some trembling. In the valley in the distance, the sound of killing continued, and the red dragon banner that symbolized the Ming Dynasty advanced slowly but without the slightest pause - it was another team led by Di Meng himself, which had so far launched an attack on the valley to the south. It was precisely because of their containment that Jiang Shao was able to easily take the eastern slope.

And now the eastern slope has been breached, and the flank of the Mongol army above the valley is suddenly exposed. Perhaps the rumbling cannon sound here was already counted as a signal, so the Ming soldiers attacking on the other side of the valley broke out one shout after another, and the red dragon flag frantically advanced forward.

"Kill the Tartars!" The Ming army, which swept down from the eastern slope, rushed directly into the blocking formation of the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army, which was also hastily arranged, was suddenly in chaos.

Jiang Shao took a light breath and looked at the dense mountains and forests around him.

Gao Shupo, this little-known hillside, how much blood does the Ming soldiers need to shed?
