Chapter 288: Tablet Relief (II)

A small tablet can make the leader of the rebel army bow his head and bow down, this thing is ridiculous, but it is true, in this era of focusing on the righteousness of the name, since you are in the name of the will of the first emperor, then you must be responsible for what you say, now the tablet of the first emperor is in front of you, if you ignore the sword in front of the tablet, it is equivalent to Zhu Di is slapping his face, when the army rebelled, the so-called "Fengtian Jingdifficult" is a bunch of nonsense, no one in the world will believe him, Even the Yan army, which followed Zhu Di's rebellion, would no longer obey him.

Righteousness and fame are so important, since the excuse for rebellion is so high-sounding, then Zhu Di must pay the price for his high-sounding excuse. Even if you are unwilling, you must honestly kneel and kowtow in front of the tablet, this is the way of loyalty and filial piety, although it is only a superficial form, but the world looks at this superficial form.

Xiao Fan's trick was too vicious, and the soldiers of the Yan army, who were about to capture Jinan City, saw that the commander actually knelt down facing Jinan City, and the high morale of more than 100,000 people suddenly came to naught, and the whole army was in an uproar.

The banner with Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet written on the head of the city was too far away for more than 100,000 people to see clearly, but the news from the forward array was real.

The prince knelt down towards Jinan City, what else are we fighting? Does it make sense?

Xiao Fan at the head of the city saw that the plan was sold, his heavy mood was obviously relieved a lot, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a shallow smile.

He finally found a way to hold on to the city of Jinan without a single soldier.

Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet was in front, and Xiao Fan, who was a courtier of the first emperor, couldn't stand, otherwise it would be disrespectful, so Xiao Fan also knelt on the horse road at the head of the city, knelt down facing the tablet, and shouted in his mouth: "Minister Xiao Fan, worship in front of Emperor Taizu Gao's spirit!" ”

As soon as Xiao Fan knelt, all the soldiers guarding the city around him also knelt.

Xiao Fan straightened up, turned his head to look at Zhu Di, who was kneeling silently with a heavy face under the city wall, couldn't help frowning, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, the tablet of the first emperor's heroic spirit is in front, why don't the soldiers under your command kneel?" Don't they want to serve me as the Son of Heaven surnamed Ming Zhu? ”

This is more serious, if the soldiers of the Yan army do not kneel down to Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet, it proves that the Yan army is a naked rebellion, and if they want to overthrow the dynasty surnamed Zhu, the soldiers under their command have rebelled, are you still innocent as the commander?

Zhu Di's eyelids jumped violently, and he stared at Xiao Fan who seemed to be smiling at the head of the city with a blue face, his teeth were gritted loudly, and after a long time, Zhu Di turned his head and shouted to Dao Yan beside him: "Order the three armies, all put away their blades, and bow down to the tablet of the emperor!" ”

Dao Yan wiped his cold sweat and said, "Lord Wang, think twice......"

"Needless to say! The whole army bows, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”

Dao Yan's face was pale, and he waved weakly at the herald.

With the issuance of the military order, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Yan Army knelt down helplessly facing Jinan City, and the black crowd bowed down three times, raising a burst of dust.

Zhu Di was so angry that he trembled, he knew very well that the morale of more than 100,000 Yan troops would inevitably plummet, and it would be more difficult to conquer Jinan.

Dao Yan persuaded beside him: "Lord Wang, let's worship and worship, the people of the world can't say anything anymore, get up." ”

Zhu Di nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and order the soldiers to stand up, Xiao Fan's nasty voice at the head of the city came from afar.

"Wait! Don't stand up, you're not in the right position, say goodbye! ”

Zhu Di's body that stood up staggered fiercely, and he almost fell into the dust.

"Xiao Fan, don't go too far! What does it mean to have the wrong posture? Zhu Di gritted his teeth and spoke like ice beads.

Xiao Fan took a moment to say: "Lord Wang, the first emperor's tablet is in front, what is your attitude?" Be respectful, okay? You and your soldiers worship too perfunctory, if the first emperor has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be very dissatisfied, and will scold you for being an unfilial son, and the lower officials are also for the sake of the prince's name......"

Zhu Di's eyes were blazing, and he said angrily: "Then how do you say you should worship?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled: "The founding master of the first emperor's generation, the heroic and strategic, the merit is better than the moon, we naturally want to worship the five bodies, the prince, the lower officials will show you, look carefully......"

Saying that, Xiao Fan raised his hands high, pouted his buttocks, and bowed down with his five bodies on the ground.

Straightening up, Xiao Fan smiled: "See? That's the right posture. ”

Zhu Di's expression changed, his face was distorted by his anger, and the pupils in his eyes continued to expand and shrink, and his expression was extremely terrifying.

"For a long time...... "Command the whole army to bow down again according to his posture." Zhu Di gritted his teeth and gave an order.

As a result, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Yan Army raised their hands one after another on the vast plains outside the city, as if they were cultists worshipping God, and they were all over the place.

After worshipping, Zhu Di said coldly with infinite killing intent: "Xiao Fan, I have also worshipped, you have nothing to say, right?" ”

Xiao Fan waved his hand generously, and said with a smile: "Go back, let's disperse......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet was in front, and he couldn't play anymore, but he was really unwilling to give up, so Zhu Di immediately ordered to retreat and camp for ten miles.

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Fan shouted at Zhu Di's back, "...... Lord Wang, tomorrow remember to ask each of the soldiers under your command to write a record of the feelings of visiting the tablet of the first emperor, the rhetoric should be gorgeous, the understanding should be profound, and it should not be less than 5,000 words......"

Sou!

A cold arrow with infinite anger and killing intent shot at Xiao Fan from under the city wall.

While!

The shield blocked.

At the head of Jinan City, watching the mighty and boundless Yan Army retreat like a tide, the shallow smile on the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth became deeper and deeper.

On the road of the city wall, all the defenders looked at him, and the worship and respect in their eyes were very obvious.

Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shandong, couldn't help but glance at Xiao Fan and said: "Marquis Xiao is talented, he retreats from the rebels without spending a single soldier, and the officials admire him." ”

Xiao Fan said modestly: "Lord Tie is polite, in fact, this method is not something I came up with, the real hero is you......"

Tie Xuan paused, and then said with a smile: "Master Hou said that he was laughing, so despicable...... Ahem, such a wonderful strategy to retreat from the enemy, how did the lower officials come up with it? The lower official is a gentleman......"

Xiao Fan was so angry in his heart, Lao Tie, what do you mean by this? Am I not a gentleman?

Patting Tie Xuan on the shoulder, Xiao Fan said seriously: "This method is really what you came up with, I just used it to plagiarize......"

"Impossible!"

"If you think about it carefully, six hundred years later, it will be written in the history books like this, and I can't be mistaken."

Tie Hyun: "............"

At night, the Yan army camp, in Zhu Dishuai's tent.

Zhu Di, who was full of depression, stared at the flickering candle on the desk and sighed dejectedly.

"Sir, Jinan seems to be undesirable, let's retreat to the north, Xiao Fan in Jinan, Dongchang, Daimyo, Zhangde and other prefectures to set up heavy troops, forming a thousand miles of encirclement, my Yan army south is as difficult as ascending to the sky, it's just that, the throne of the Jingshi seems to be not as easy to get as the king thinks, the king can only lead the army back to the north bank of the Yellow River, and the imperial court to row the river and rule, to be the lord of the half of the country, it is better than losing the army and losing his family name......"

Dao Yan's weak body like a sick tiger suddenly stood up, walked in front of Zhu Di, and his tone was involuntarily urgent: "How can the prince give up on himself?" Don't you hear that it is the ambition of the prince to be the head of the chicken rather than the tail of the ox, and to be the lord of the half of the country? Only by conquering the Jingshi and boarding the dragon chair of the Jingshi Imperial Court, the prince is the real co-master of the world, and he loses confidence with a little setback in front of him, so is it the work of the master? ”

Dao Yan then sneered: "Moreover, does the prince think that he can sit back and relax when he retreats to the north bank of the Yellow River?" Will the imperial court allow the prince to divide the territory of the Ming Dynasty in two? "The Book of Rites, Zeng Zi asked" said: "There are no two kings in the sky, there are no two kings in the earth, there are no two masters in the family, and there are no two respects", on the side of the couch, how can Zhu Yunwen allow the prince to sleep soundly? If the prince can't conquer the Beijing division and completely defeat Zhu Yunwen, the court will not let you go. …… Lord, we have no way out! ”

"Just now the scouts came to report, Dongchang, Daimyo, Zhangde three provinces reinforcements are only two days away from Jinan City, two days later, we will fall into the desperate situation of being attacked by the imperial court at both ends......" Zhu Di's bearded face was full of sorrow.

Dao Yan said angrily: "Isn't there still two days?" The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and in two days, anything that may happen will happen, and Jinan City may not be able to take it! ”

Pessimists always say "there are only two days left", and optimistic people always rejoice that "there are two more days". That's the difference between people.

Zhu Di sighed: "What can two days do? Xiao Fan's shameless man invited out his father's tablet, if this king dares to use a sword in front of the tablet, he will definitely offend the people of the world......"

Dao Yan fell silent, pondered quietly for a while, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Fan is just a little smart, he can't get on the stage after all, it's very simple to break this plan......"

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, then quickly sat up straight, and said in surprise: "Can Mr. break this plan?" ”

Dao Yan sneered disdainfully: "It's just a trick, it's too easy to break it." ”

"Dare to ask sir, how to break it?"

Dao Yan smiled gloomily: "Lord Wang, the filial piety handed down by the sage and pursued by the world has only one sentence to put it bluntly: Lao Tzu beats his son, which is justified." ”

Early the next morning, the war drums of the Yan army camp rumbled, Zhu Di gave a military order, and the Yan army besieged Jinan again.

Zhu Di made up his mind and vowed not to give up if he did not give up, what about the tablet of the first emperor? Now he also has a killer feature.

At the head of the city, Xiao Fan was dressed in a draped cloth, looking at the soldiers of the Yan Army outside the city carrying wooden ladders to climb the city, carrying "swarm" firearms, holding swords and shields, and a posture of about to attack the city, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be taken aback.

The two armies confronted each other in silence, and at the moment of the imminent moment, Zhu Di rode his horse, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and walked slowly to the city wall.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing here? Do you still want to attack the city? Xiao Fan stood at the head of the city and asked coldly.

Zhu Di nodded and sneered: "Yes, this king swears to take Jinan!" ”

"The tablet of the first emperor is here, do you dare to use the sword and soldiers, are you not afraid of offending the people of the world?"

"Of course, this king doesn't dare to offend the people of the world, so this king has brought you a surprise today......"

Xiao Fan was curious: "Another bottle?" ”

“…………”

Zhu Di ignored him, waved his hand behind him, and several Yan soldiers stepped forward carrying a huge black background and white border flag, and the banner was newly embroidered with several golden characters: "The god seat of Emperor Zhu Zhen of Daming Renzuchun."

Zhu Wusi, an ordinary Anhui peasant, but he also has an amazing identity,—— father of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he posthumously named his father "Emperor Renzuchun".

Xiao Fan is vicious, Zhu Di is more vicious than him, and today he simply sacrificed his grandfather's tablet, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet standing at the head of the city is inevitably a little shorter, the head of the city is the son, and the city is the father.

Zhu Di rode on the horse and laughed proudly: "Lao Tzu beats his son, it is justified, Xiao Fan, do you say that this king is qualified to attack the city today?" ”

Xiao Fan was in a cold sweat, his eyes widened angrily, he slapped the battlement of the city wall fiercely, and said angrily: "Your grandfather's ......"

"Presumptuous! You dare to scold Emperor Chun, Xiao Fan, you are disrespectful! Zhu Di suddenly changed color.

Xiao Fan took a step back, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You are so despicable! ”

Zhu Di looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is all forced by you!" With the tablet of Emperor Zuchun of my great Ming Ren here, no one in the world can say that this king is not, Xiao Fan, don't think that you are the smartest person in the world, this king just disdains to play this kind of trick with you...... Someone, send an order to the three armies, and attack the city! ”

Xiao Fan sneered and shouted, "Slow! Zhu Di, don't be too happy, do you think you won? Tell you, as long as I am here, you don't want to use a knife against Jinan! ”

Zhu Di was stunned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

What tricks does Xiao Fan want to play?

Xiao Fan stood at the head of the city and said coldly: "Lord Wang, isn't it just Daddy?" Look at who can fight whom, it's all your Zhu family's ...... anyway Come on, please bring up the new tablet! ”

Under the stunned gaze of Zhu Di and the soldiers of the Yan Army, at the head of Jinan, Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet was quietly removed, and it was replaced by a new tablet, with several huge golden characters embroidered on the banner on a black background and white edges: "The Divine Seat of Emperor Zhu Zhen of the Great Ming Dynasty"!

Zhu Chuyi is also an ordinary Anhui peasant, but he has an even more remarkable identity,—— he is Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, Zhu Di's great-grandfather, and was later posthumously named "Emperor Xizuyu".

Whether the family is dead or alive, it is a reunion in front of Jinan City, which is really lively...... Clear-eyed people can see it clearly, the "Emperor Renzuchun" next to Zhu Di is obviously not as good as the "Emperor Xizuyu" next to Xiao Fan, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, Emperor Renzuchun, who was still a father just now, has become a son at this time, Zhu Wusi's father, Emperor Xizuyu, is on it, how to fight?

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet...... Now no one cares about it, and Zhu Yuanzhang has become a grandson at this time.

Zhu Di stared at the city for a long time, and was so angry that he almost planted his horse.

"You're so despicable!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth.

I don't know if it's intentional, Xiao Fan pointed his thumb at himself, and then at Zhu Di, and said with his head held high: "I'm a father, you are a son, can you still get a higher ancestor?" ”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth: "Crunch, crunch, crunch......"

Xiao Fan smiled as kindly as an angel: "You can't take it, can you?" Very good! Now, dismount, put away the knife, kneel, kowtow, thank you for your cooperation. ”

"You ......" A stream of reverse blood surged up in Zhu Di's chest.

The same scene was staged outside the city of Jinan and yesterday, under the leadership of Zhu Di, more than 100,000 Yan soldiers put away their swords, and respectfully Zhu Chuyi, the grandfather of Zhu Yuanzhang, the head of the city, and the tablet of Emperor Zuyu of the Ming Dynasty knelt down, and kowtowed deeply to the ground in the five-body throwing style...... The whole army got up and retreated, as honest as a grandson.

Staring at Zhu Di's trembling back, Xiao Fan finally said something leisurely.

"Lord Wang, it's been two days in a row, are you here to attack the city or are you here to worship your ancestors? Won't you come tomorrow? ”

Thump!

Zhu Di's guards were shocked.

"The prince planted the horse down......"

"Ahh The prince vomited blood! ”

"Save the prince!"

“…………”
