The Yan army withdrew again, and more than 100,000 people died down and withdrew ten miles in a daze.

Lian Yue's pressure and anxiety, coupled with being angry with Xiao Fan, after the burly and sturdy Zhu Di returned to the camp, he remembered what happened today, and vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and the army was in a panic.

"Sir, Jinan is no longer desirable, we must retreat north." Zhu Di lay on the soft couch of the handsome tent and said weakly.

Dao Yan was also deeply shocked, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of strength, and he aged dozens of years in an instant, and his body looked like a rickety.

"Lord Wang...... Let's attack again, take Jinan, break through the encirclement under Xiao Fanbu, our army goes all the way south, and directly takes the Beijing Division, no one in the world can stop my army, the throne of the Beijing Division is at your fingertips, Lord Wang, try again......"

Assisting Zhu Di to ascend the throne was Dao Yan's lifelong goal and belief, but he gave up because of a small tablet, and Dao Yan was really unwilling.

Zhu Di smiled miserably: "My relatives and elders of the Zhu family's deceased are blocking in front of Jinan City, how dare the king dare to use swords?" ”

"Lord Wang, didn't Xiao Fan bring out Emperor Xizuyu? We reproduced the tablet overnight and it was bigger than him......"

Even Dao Yan himself was weak when he said this, and his voice became smaller and quieter the more he spoke.

The revolution is not a dinner party, a war is not a poker game to fight the landlord, the relatives of the Zhu family are under Jiuquan one by one, no one is recruited, no one is provoked, why are you pulled out to compare the ranks? It's child's play.

Zhu Di turned his head to look at him, and snorted: "Sir, we have been fighting with Xiao Fan for several years, don't you know Xiao Fan's character?" This king absolutely believes that now the ancestors of the eighteenth generation of my Zhu family's ancestors, one is counted as one, and all of them must have been made into tablets by him, just waiting for us to kowtow to him again, besides, even if the tablets we make are bigger than him? After retreating without a fight for two consecutive days, the morale of our Yan army has plummeted now, how can it be possible to capture Jinan City? Two days later, the reinforcements from the three imperial courts will arrive in Jinan, and if we do not retreat, we will be attacked by them on both sides, and our Yan army will be defeated. ”

Dao Yan was silent, two lines of turbid tears swirled in his eyes, and finally slid down his face, silent sadness and despair filled the handsome tent.

Faith collapses, and life is not happy.

"Lord Wang, this is not a crime of war, a crime of not war!" Dao Yan cried bitterly: "...... In terms of resourcefulness, combat effectiveness, the right time and place, we are no worse than Xiao Fan, the only thing we didn't calculate was that Xiao Fan's evil obstacle could be shameless to this point, and the poor monk couldn't compare to him with all his might...... Woohoo lament, woohoo lament! ”

Zhu Di's eyes were also red, he tried his best to hold back his tears, patted Dao Yan's shoulder and comforted: "Shamelessness is talent, you can't learn it, sir, let's accept our fate, send orders to the three armies, retreat north, we will guard the north, in order to say." ”

In July of the first year of Jianwen, the siege of Jinan City was solved without a fight, the Yan army retreated on all fronts, in order to shrink the troops, all the cities in Shandong were abandoned, and the army withdrew to Zhendingfu.

After the Yan army retreated for two days, Zhangde, Daimyo, Dongchang three provinces reinforcements, a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, arrived in Jinan under the leadership of the rebel vanguard officer Ping'an, the chief military officer Xiao Fan immediately ordered a joint army, plus 70,000 defenders of Jinan City, combined with 300,000 troops, to the north to pursue.

In mid-July, Shandong Dezhou was recovered by the imperial court.

In late July, Shunde Province was reclaimed.

…………………… Within a month, the imperial court recovered more than a dozen lost cities, and pressed towards the northern Yan army step by step.

Under the instruction of Xiao Fan, the sergeant who reported the victory held high the fire paint military report, and galloped from north to south, passing through the towns along the way, and the sergeants shouted loudly "The imperial court has recovered the lost territory, and the rebels are retreating."

The hearts of the people in the world, who were disturbed by Zhu Di's rebellion, gradually calmed down with the spread of this good news.

At this point, the shadow of the defeat of the imperial court Baigou River slowly faded in people's hearts, and everyone knew that under the efforts of the chief military officer Xiao Fan to turn the tide, the battle situation gradually turned back, and the battle of the imperial court counterinsurgency turned from a defensive position to an offensive again.

Thousands of miles of fertile land in the north, the wind and clouds are surging again.

The good news reached the Beijing Division, the Manchu Dynasty was overjoyed, Zhu Yunwen was pleasantly surprised, and even praised several holy decrees, at this moment of victory, the court praised one after another, and no one would mention the defeat of Xiao Fan Baigou River again.

Zhu Yunwen was so happy that he couldn't control himself, and the good news was spread in the second day of the court, and in the early dynasty, Zhu Yunwen, who was a little forgetful, immediately proposed to reward the meritorious soldiers in front, especially Xiao Fan.

Now Xiao Fan is responsible for the position of the chief military officer of the rebellion, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, and the soldiers and horses of the world are dispatched by him, this official is considered to be the extreme, and he can't be promoted anymore, but Zhu Yunwen, who is full of excitement, always feels that Xiao Fan should be rewarded with something to express his gratitude and gratitude.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen proposed to increase Xiao Fan's lord in the early dynasty, and proposed to promote Xiao Fan's first-class Chengyi Marquis to the Duke of Chengguo, enjoy the Taimiao, and give Zuo Zhuguo, special entry Ronglu doctor, 4,000 stones, and hereditary descendants. Several ladies in Xiao Fan's family, except for the two princesses of Thrush and Jiangdu, could not be promoted again, and Chen Yinger and Zhang Hongqiao were both promoted from the third-grade lady to the first-class lady.

The battle of rebellion is not over, and the glory and grace of the Xiao family have reached their peak.

Under the civil and military uproar of the Manchu Dynasty, the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi Tyrant immediately stood up and expressed strong opposition.

After the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang left a testament in the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", stipulating that the Son of Heaven must be cautious in the future, and the highest person shall not exceed the earl, so many famous generals and heroes in the world when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and so many meritorious people have made so many contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are only Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun's son Chang Mao, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, and six people, who have saved Zhu Yuanzhang's surname several times, and played a decisive role in determining the surname of Zhu Yuanzhang Liu Ji Liu Bowen, a legendary figure who has played a decisive role in determining the surname of Zhu Yuanzhang in the world. After the founding of the country, he was only named a sincere uncle, and the stinginess of the Ming Dynasty can be seen.

It stands to reason that Xiao Fan, the Marquis of Chengyi, was originally an exception to the title, and the royal family married two princesses to him, although it was too much to be a marquis, for the sake of the royal family and the two princesses, although the Manchu minister's heart was a little blocked, he still turned a blind eye and let him go.

Now Xiao Fan just won a battle and recovered a few lost territories, the Son of Heaven actually regarded the title as if he didn't want money, and added so much to his head in one go, he was only in his twenties, and he was actually named the prince of the country, how can this sect be embarrassed by the old ministers of Hongwu in the Manchu Dynasty?

The golden hall of the court was boiling, and now all the ministers of the station stopped doing it, and stood up in unison to express strong opposition, and even the members of the annihilation party led by Xiao Fan smacked their lips sourly, standing in place without squeaking.

The Son of Heaven is young, this thing is too outrageous, we Manchu Dynasty ministers can't accompany him to go crazy, and if you win a battle, you want to be promoted to the prince of the country, let's dream! I'm desperate to mess up this matter.

Whether it is Qingliu, annihilating the party, after the meritorious service, or the neutral faction on the wall, the attitude of Xiao Fan on the matter of being crowned the prince of the country is surprisingly unanimous, and they all expressed their resolute opposition, this head must not be opened, otherwise in the future, our Ming Guogong, the prince will not be like a cabbage rotten on the street? Who will be rare in the future?

The objection that almost toppled the roof of the Golden Palace poured a bucket of cold water on Zhu Yunwen's head, and the joy of the victory of the imperial court suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Yunwen was also angry, Xiao Shiyu fought to the death in the front, recovered more than a dozen cities, and the battle situation has also turned from defense to offense, and the rebels were forced to retreat one after another, such a big credit is in front of you, you are all blind and can't see it? Shouldn't you be crowned a prince?

After arguing with reason, Zhu Yunwen only had one mouth, how could he win more than a hundred mouths in the Golden Palace? In the end, Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he slapped the table, and under his strong insistence, the Son of Heaven and the ministers made concessions, sealing Xiao Fan Zuozhuguo, and Dr. Ronglu could accept it, but Guogong didn't need to talk about it, and wanted to seal a hairy boy in his twenties as Guogong, unless you Zhu Yunwen stepped over our corpse.

The two sides compromised and broke up early.

Zhu Yunwen had nowhere to send his anger, and when he returned to the palace, he sighed secretly, Xiao Shi read the popularity of the court...... Tsk, did he ruin all the daughters of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers? Why do so many people have trouble with him?

This question is incomprehensible.

After the early dispersal of the dynasty, Ji Gang, the new deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, had already learned about the dispute in the court, and heard that the Son of Heaven was very angry by the Manchu Dynasty because of Xiao Fan's knighthood.

In the afternoon, the calm and waveless Jingshi court set off huge waves.

The wolf-like captain of the brocade guard set out and began to divide the Suojing Division.

The left capital of the Inspectorate was violently Zhao, the right was the capital of the imperial history Ni Wei, the etiquette department of the Qing official Liu Zhengqing, and the Guozijian Siye Cheng Yuan were arrested and sent to the Jinyi Wei Imperial Prison for the crime of "secretly communicating with the vassal king".

When Zhu Yunwen heard the report, the anger in his heart had not subsided, and after knowing Ji Gang's nonsense, he just snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Ji Gang was overjoyed when he learned of the attitude of the Son of Heaven, strict and fast, quick and quick, that night, the edict prison got the four ministers' accumulated "crimes", Zhu Yunwen waved his pen, the four dismissed the official for the people, and exiled Qiongnan.

Second, the new Zuo Du Yushi of the Inspectorate was appointed by the Inspectorate, this person is named Jingqing, and he has a very deep friendship with Ji Gang.

Mastered Jinyiwei and the Inspectorate, Ji Gang's arrogance gradually began to be arrogant, and Jinyiwei's atmosphere gradually became brutal and unkind, and he was no longer the polite and civilized law enforcement unit under Xiao Fan's rule.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and the air in the court of the capital suddenly became tense.

In the backyard of the Yamen of Jinyi Wei Town, Yuan Zhong of Qianhu let go of his hands, and a white carrier pigeon rose into the sky, flapping its wings and flying north to ......**************************************************** the Yamen of Shunde Mansion.

"Yuan Zhongfei reported that Jingshi Jinyi Wei was gradually out of control,...... Ji Gang gained power. Xiao Fan's tone was low, faintly angry.

"Ji Gang? That stupid big guy in Shandong? Last year's martial arts list? Cao Yi frowned.

Xiao Fan nodded: "Yes, it's him, who used to worship under my door and was willing to lick his shoes, Ji Gang." He has been appointed by the Son of Heaven as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and has framed several ministers in prison, secretly cultivated cronies and henchmen, relied on the favor of the Son of Heaven to do evil, wantonly excluded dissidents, and installed the same party, and the court has been stirred up by him. ”

Cao Yi was furious: "Raised by a bitch!" There are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is the overlord, let's fight in front of the blood, this dog actually lit a fire in the backyard, Ji Gang is tired of it? ”

"A person's ambition is inflated, as long as he can climb up, he can do anything, while I am not in the capital, it is a great opportunity for him, and those who don't do it are fools."

Cao Yi's face flashed with murderous intent, and he said viciously: "I'll take someone back to Beijing and find a reason to do him!" Everyone is from Jinyiwei, it's not easy to be charged, he can frame others, I can also frame him, let's just say that he plotted to rebel and forcibly annihilated a sow......"

"No, Ji Gang is scheming, you can't fight him, you can't kill him, not to mention that he has saved the life of the Son of Heaven, and he is even favored by the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it will not be so easy to frame him......" Xiao Fan immediately shook his head and vetoed.

"So what do we do? By him eating away at our foundation bite by bite? When you return to Beijing after the rebellion is put down, I am afraid that he has taken your place and emptied your power, and then we will be miserable. ”

Xiao Fan sighed and said: "I was still careless, I knew that this was the case, I should have taken him with me at that time, so as not to cause chaos for us......"

Cao Yi sneered: "Wherever the scourge is, it's a scourge, aren't you afraid that he will collude with Yan Rebellion when you take him on the expedition?" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head categorically: "It's impossible, he can't jump up under my nose, look at him is not pleasing to the eye, send someone to throw a bomb in his bed in the middle of the night, a hundred, simply neat, when he reported to the court, he said that he was engaged in a sideline business to rob tombs in private after the war, and he blew himself up to death when he put too much gunpowder......"

Cao Yi's eyes were straight: "You...... You won't suddenly look at me one day, will you? ”

"You're also interested in tomb robbing?"

"Absolutely not!"

........................ "It's thousands of miles away, I can't spare my hand to deal with Ji Gang, let's wait and see for the time being, Brother Cao, send secret letters to Ru Shangshu, Bachelor Xie, Yu Shangshu, Qi Shilang and other adults in Beijing, and be honest and low-key during this time, let Ji Gang go to jump, don't be unlucky by him, and wait for me to go back to Beijing to clean him up." ”

"Okay."

"At the moment, our top priority is to quickly pacify Yan Wei and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

In mid-August, the imperial court's 300,000-strong army entered the Zhending Mansion.

Xiao Fan secretly trained for more than a year of special forces sent out like a net, and played an extremely important role in the war, they were in a group of five, lurking into the camps of the Yan army, attacking the enemy, burning grain, poisoning, and even assassinating the generals of hundreds of households and thousands of households of the Yan army, and finally they also threw the new bombs prepared by Xiao Fan everywhere in the Yan camp, making the Yan army camp chickens and dogs jump, and everyone was panicked.

In this era, there is no theory of special operations, Xiao Fan's trick made the Yan army suffer enough, and the ghostly special forces have become a nightmare for the Yan army's soldiers, as if they will jump out of a mysterious dark corner and stab them at any time.

In this atmosphere of terror, on August 19, Xiao Fan ordered the march and engaged in a head-to-head confrontation with the Yan army outside the Zhending Mansion.

The demoralized Yan army soldiers were not able to continue the battle, the battle was defeated, the killed, the missing, the rout, the total number of tens of thousands, the Yan army forward officer Zhu Neng died in a bloody battle, Zhu Di fled north to Baoding Mansion in panic, after collecting the defeated army, the total strength of the Yan army was less than 100,000.

It was another big victory, and it was a big victory on the frontal battlefield, the morale of the imperial army was high, and the military report of the victory was 800 miles and galloped into Beijing.

Wang Shi recovered Zhending Mansion and opened a defensive line fifty miles north of Zhending, Xiao Fan fought very carefully this time, it can be said that he is taking steps by step, and the most important thing is ,...... The flagpole of Shuai Qi was really changed to be made of fine iron, and tornadoes were blowing constantly.

After recovering Zhending, Xiao Fan's first order was to urgently transfer Geng Bingwen, a veteran general stationed in Zhangde, and ordered him to rush to Zhending Mansion to defend the city, while he continued to march north with a large army.

After the battle of Jinan offensive and defensive, and the head-to-head confrontation with Zhending Mansion, the Yan army has gradually shown defeat, and this is a good time for the remaining brave to chase the poor man, Xiao Fan of course can't let it go.

At the beginning of September, 300,000 troops marched into Baoding, and the northern war clouds were dense and murderous.

Xiao Fan and Zhu Di both understood that the second head-on decisive battle was coming, and Zhu Di could not retreat, and behind Baoding was Zhu Di's old nest, Beiping Mansion, and the situation could not allow him to retreat again.

Zhending camp outside the city.

More than a dozen guards surrounded Xiao Fan, and a group of people strode into a heavily guarded tent.

This tent is where the prisoners are held, and the prisoners inside are very special, nominally, they are all Xiao Fan's brother-in-law.

The tent curtain was lifted, revealing three ghostly faces inside, all of whom twitched incessantly...... Xiao Fan's smiling smile radiated a golden halo under the sunlight outside the tent, as warm and kind as an angel.

But in the eyes of the three brothers-in-law, this smile was not like that at all, and they regarded Xiao Fan's smile as a talisman for the king of Hades.

"You...... Finally decided to kill us! Zhu Gaosui puffed up his chest, his expression was tragic and his tone trembled.

Xiao Fan's smile narrowed, and he said, "Poisonous hand? What does it mean? ”

Zhu Gaosui confidently straightened his chest, and his tone was as determined as Zhuge Liang who was like a god.

"You just won the battle, the power of the great victory, and then kill us to sacrifice the flag, encourage the military prestige, just a drum into Beiping, and then use our head in front of the city of Beiping to swagger, the father has no queen, the morale of the Yan army soldiers will inevitably be lost, and at the same time it can also stimulate the father, for the handsome must have a calm and wise mind, if the father becomes sad or angry because of our death, no matter what kind of emotion, his mind must no longer be calm, under the impulse, there must be loopholes in the deployment of defense, so that you just take advantage of the weakness, Beiping can even take ...... without a fight"

Zhu Gaosui gushed endlessly, the more he spoke, the more angry he became, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop falling, and finally pointed at Xiao Fan, spitting saliva and roaring: "Xiao Fan, you ...... What a vicious mind! I won't let you go! You will be punished for such a desperate plan! ”

Xiao Fan opened his mouth wide in surprise: "............"

There was a deathly silence in the tent...... Looking at the desperate and godless faces of the three brothers of the Zhu family, Xiao Fan was stunned for a long time, then he came back to his senses, coughed twice, and said leisurely: "I really can't see that the third brother of the Zhu family actually has such insight, much better than me, admire and admire!" Actually, I came here today with the intention of letting you go back to the Yan Army camp......"

The three of them froze for a moment, and their expressions changed from despair to ecstasy, very quickly.

Before the three of them were happy, Xiao Fan said with a straight face: "But Zhu Laosan's words just now reminded me, his analysis is very reasonable, and this official has always been humble and good, so I decided to ......"

"What did you decide?" The expressions of the three of them were like mourning, and their words were crying.

"I decided not to let you go, and just do what Zhu Laosan said, come, drag them all down, kill and kill ......"

The three brothers of the Zhu family immediately cried, and the second Zhu Gaochu cried for a while, as if his butt had been kicked and bounced, and then kicked at Zhu Gaosui fiercely, scolding while kicking: "You fuck, you can!" You're smart! Don't you know that woe comes from the mouth? You bastard, you killed the three of us with one mouth, you will die if you don't show off? Raised by a son of a bitch, I won't let you go when I am a ghost......"

Zhu Gaosui hugged his head and cried: "Second brother, I was wrong! How did I know he did what I said...... I'm fucking wronged! ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't react, hung his head in frustration, and sighed gloomily.

The guards walked in proudly and dragged away the two who were crying and fighting in despair, leaving only Xiao Fan and Zhu Gaochi in the tent.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Fan smiled strangely at Zhu Gaochi: "Uncle, you are about to be beheaded, do you have any last words to explain?" ”

Zhu Gaochi trembled, his face became more and more pale, and he trembled his lips and said: "If you become a king or lose a king, what can you say!" I...... I only have one sentence......"

"Just say."

Zhu Gaochi squinted his eyes and blinked twice, and two lines of sad tears fell: "After the conquest of Beiping, the troublesome lord told the emerald girl of Liufang Pavilion that I only love her in this life......"

Xiao Fan was suddenly in awe, this big fat man is still a seed of infatuation, the kind that directly teaches life and death, which is really touching and admirable.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will tell her."

Zhu Gaochi finally burst into tears and choked up: "...... There are also Miss Yangliu in Zangchun Building, Miss Caiyun in Yanlai Building, and Miss Pei Yan in Penglaiju...... Woo, please tell them together, just say that I only love them in this life, tell them separately, don't make a meeting, remember to remember......"

Xiao Fan: "............"

........................ "Someone! Drag this infatuation seed out, kill it, kill it! ”
