Chapter 280: Feint Attack on Beiping
The secret envoy sent by Zhu Di to Shanxi did not even see the face of the King of Jin, so he was intercepted and killed by the special forces who were painstakingly trained by Xiao Fan in front of the palace of the King of Jin.
Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, soon received a report from his personal guards, and his face suddenly turned pale.
This is a naked slap in the face, and it is also a naked warning, Xiao Fan didn't even bother to do the formality on the official face, and directly told Zhu Jixi in this rough way, Yan Yi and your every move are under the close attention of the imperial court, if you dare to follow Yan Yi to rebel, the next person to be wiped throat may be you, the prince.
Zhu Jixi panicked, he was still very young, he had just taken the throne, and his control over the soldiers under his command was not enough, which was also one of the reasons why he was slow to move, and now that Xiao Fan was so frightened that he was coming.
It is only unknown who wins or loses between the court and Yan Rebellion, the world is in turmoil, and the King of Jin, who has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, does not dare to act rashly, the issue of standing in line is very important, standing on the wrong team, the whole family will be unlucky, Zhu Jixi does not want to be this bird, his ambition is very small, he only hopes to be able to keep the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and be a prince, he is not interested in rebelling and seizing the throne.
Zhu Di has already raised troops, no matter his strength or seniority, he is far higher than Zhu Jixi, what is the benefit of Zhu Jixi following him to rebel? Could it be that after the rebellion succeeded, would Zhu Di give up the throne to him? In addition to the emperor, the vassal king of one side is already the highest title of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Jixi already has this title, so why take the risk of losing his head to rebel? Even if he sits at home and doesn't do anything, this prince is still stable and rebellious? Fools rebel!
Zhu Jixi, who was originally a little hesitant, was frightened by Xiao Fan's ruthless move, so he strengthened his determination to stand by and watch.
I am a good emperor and grandson of the first emperor, I am a thorough good citizen and obedient to the people, my father taught me since I was a child, don't play with bad children, I am very obedient...... On the fifth day of intercepting and killing Yan's secret envoy, Xiao Fan received a handwritten letter written by Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, in which he affirmed and supported the status of today's son, and Zhu Jixi said in a very flattering tone that his loyalty to the Son of Heaven can be seen, and he swore that he would never be in the same stream with Yan Rebellion, and if he violated his oath, he was willing to chop up his little brother and make four meat dishes.
Xiao Fan was very pleased with Zhu Jixi's deep understanding of righteousness, and wrote back to tell Zhu Jixi, be your prince, the court will not treat you badly after the rebellion is quelled in the future, as long as you don't rebel with Yan, the Son of Heaven will still treat you as your own brother, Zhu Di is so miserable, more than 100,000 people were chased by the imperial army to hide in the east of the province, what is the future of this kind of person? Following the Son of Heaven is the king, and there is meat to eat.
Zhu Di's attempt was once again strangled in the cradle by Xiao Fan.
One thing in the world descends one thing, I have to admit that some people are born to be crushed to death by a certain rival, and they can't turn over no matter how they jump, Xiao Fan and Zhu Di are good examples.
On the tenth day of the fifth month of the first year of Jianwen, the main army of the imperial court arrived at Zhangde Mansion in Henan.
As Xiao Fan expected, Zhu Di heard that the army was coming, so after ransacking Zhangde Mansion, he led his troops to leave quickly, and the troops pointed directly at Jing'an Mansion in Shanxi.
Zhangde fell into the hands of the rebels for ten days, the imperial army recovered and entered the city, the city was already full of devastation, ten rooms and nine empty, the so-called Fengtian Jingjing said that it was reflected in Zhangde but it was to take advantage of the fire to rob, when the war was raging, it was the people who really suffered.
War is a bloodthirsty monster that destroys all civilizations in a barbaric and brutal way, and the people inevitably fall victim to war, destroying a peaceful and beautiful life, and even ruthlessly harvesting their lives.
Xiao Fan walked on the streets of Zhangde City, looking at the people kneeling on the side of the street and crying expressionlessly, the people whose wives were separated, felt a tingling pain in his heart, he had been in the court for a long time, he originally thought that he was used to seeing killing and life and death, but seeing the miserable and displaced people, Xiao Fan felt as if his heart had been rubbed by a big hand, it was very painful.
Xiao Fan never felt that he was a good person, and he didn't admit that he was so completely bad, compassion represents kindness, but where can he be kind? Aren't he and Zhu Di the founders and leaders of this war?
In the rubble and ruins in Zhangde City, Xiao Fan closed his eyes and secretly vowed that he must end this war as soon as possible! Justice and evil are just one thing, one name, and either side is actually creating evil.
Five days later, Zhu Di's rebels moved to Shanxi, besieged Jing'an Mansion in Shanxi, Guo Zheng, the prefect of Jing'an, and the garrison general Liu Shicheng led 3,000 defenders to hold on.
Xiao Fan led the army to chase after him, and the scouts came to report, and after Zhu Dike was calm, the rebels stayed for a while, and then continued to go north.
At the same time, Ping'an was ordered by Xiao Fan to lead 100,000 troops to the city of Beiping.
Beiping City suddenly fell into a panic, the nine gates were closed, and the four fields were cleared.
Ping'an according to Xiao Fan's order, the second day of the siege of Beiping City, so that 10,000 people carried out a high-profile feint attack on Beiping, the momentum of the feint attack was very amazing, the 20,000 defenders of Beiping were frightened, the general of the city was the former commander of Beiping Zhang Xin, and hurriedly reported to the Yanwang Mansion when he heard the report, at this time Beiping was the concubine of the Yan King, Princess Xu, Princess Xu was the daughter of the late founding general Zhongshan King Xu Da, the real Jiangmen Tiger Girl.
is the so-called marrying a chicken with a chicken, the Xu family was originally a loyal martyr, but it is a pity that Princess Xu married Zhu Di, her husband became a thief, and his wife had to follow suit.
Knowing that Beiping was besieged, Princess Xu really showed the high quality of the tiger girl, and she did not panic at all, and calmly ordered Zhang Xin to lead her troops to defend the city, while Princess Xu put on armor and walked to the head of the city and personally commanded the defense.
At this time, Ping'an ordered the siege of the city, a hundred Hongwu cannons roared and fired iron bullets frantically at the Beiping city wall, 10,000 people carried the siege ladder and the wooden pile car that hit the door, the shouting and killing sound in the sky was magnificent and majestic, and the wind and clouds changed color, although the Beiping soldiers were the border army of a hundred battles, they were also frightened by this overwhelming siege momentum. The timid sergeant was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the bow and arrow in his hand.
When morale was declining, Princess Xu played her role.
In the end, behind the door, a woman, her eyes were more vicious than Zhang Xin, and her narrow Danfeng eyes squinted slightly and observed for a while, and Princess Xu's pretty face gradually bloomed with a sneer.
"General Zhang, tell the soldiers not to panic, this is a feint attack by Ping Bao'er (Ping'an), although the shouting is loud, but the action is very restrained, all the soldiers can perform their duties, don't worry."
With Princess Xu's words, the defenders of Beiping finally eliminated their fear and went their own way in an orderly manner.
As Princess Xu said, the 10,000 people attacking the city were just a bluff, and after pretending to shout for a while at the base of the city wall, they retreated back like a tide.
Outside the city of Beiping, Ping An was furious in the big tent.
"Our army is besieging Beiping, besieging Sanqueyi, why hasn't anyone rushed out of Beiping City to report to Yanyi? Have they seen that we are feinting? ”
A general clenched his fists and said: "General, the rebels in Beiping are not panicking at all when defending the city, and they are advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and most of them can see that we are pretending to be in a posture." ”
Xiao Fan told him to only besiege and not attack, and forced Beiping to send someone out to report to Zhu Di to lure Zhu Di to rescue him, but now in this situation, he can't achieve the effect without attacking the city, which makes Ping An angry.
wiped the sweat from his head, and Ping'an's eyes showed a fierce and hideous look.
"Fuck! Which bastard is not in such a hurry to defend the city, is he not afraid of death? Is it true that Lao Tzu is just scaring and scaring you? Lao Tzu has never suffered such a wretched spirit in war! Come! Pass my command, siege the city! Siege for real life! ”
The general was so frightened that he hurriedly dissuaded: "General, Lord Xiao's order is to only besiege and not attack......"
Ping'an's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Lao Tzu can't care so much!" Today, I have to capture Beiping and let out this evil breath! In the future, Lao Tzu will receive Lord Xiao's military law! What are you doing? Besiege! ”
“…… Be! ”
The 100,000-strong army moved the real Geer, and the city was overwhelming, and the casualties on both sides gradually increased, and the soldiers on both sides also became angry, and they became more and more desperate.
Two hours later, Princess Xu stood at the head of the city, her calm expression gradually changed.
"It's a real siege this time...... Come, hurry, hurry out of the city to report to the prince, hurry! ”
The gate of Beiping opened a line, and a horse rushed out quickly, running towards the gap that Ping'an deliberately opened.
Inside the big tent, Ping An laughed: "Did you finally send someone out?" Good! Mingjin collected his troops, surrounded them, and we won't fight. ”
When Xiao Fan led the army to Jing'an Mansion, as expected, Zhu Di ran away again...... "Stop!" Tell the army to stop! It's not a way to run like this, sooner or later you'll be exhausted to death......" Xiao Fan suppressed his anger: "Even if Yan Shun is a mouse, we are not cats, you ran and I chased you, when is it a head?" ”
Cao Yi shrugged: "Otherwise, what should I do?" Let him run around the world? Do you have a better way than to chase him? ”
Xiao Fan's face was bitter, fighting was not like a court battle, it was completely a competition of strength, and there was no room for opportunism, in the past, when he was a person, the bad water in his stomach was bubbling, but now Zhu Di didn't dare to meet with the court army at all, and no bad ideas would work. It's really depressing.
At this time, the personal soldiers came to report that the special forces who went to the Taiyuan Jin Palace's mission to intercept and kill came back and brought back a live prisoner.
Xiao Fan didn't raise his head and said: "Call someone to interrogate the prisoner, what is Yan Shun's idea?" ”
The soldier said: "I asked on the way, but the prisoners were not recruited." ”
Xiao Fan said impatiently: "If you don't recruit, you will be tortured, do you still need me to teach you?" ”
The soldier swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "I have already used torture, and the captive has been tossed so much that there is no good skin and flesh, but he ...... Still not recruited. ”
Xiao Fanleng was stunned: "It's really iron-blooded and pure, you can't be tortured?" ”
"Yes."
"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, go find a beauty for him, the hundred steels can also be turned around the fingers, and Wushan ** will come down for a while, and ensure that he still wants to recruit after recruiting......"
"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and left.
It's not difficult to invite a beauty, there is a ready-made Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Jing'an Mansion, and after explaining, the charming beauty approached the captive.
At night, when the lamp was in hand, the beauty came out in a daze, the mission failed, and the captive didn't look at her at all.
Xiao Fan touched his chin and looked left and right, this girl is very beautiful, she has to look good, she has to have a figure, isn't it good for a captive?
Xiao Fan is interested, people who regard death as their home in these years can't say that there are none, but there are too few people who may resist the temptation of beauty, so I can't ignore it.
"Brother Cao, let's go, let's go and interrogate in person."
The two left the tent, and the beauty stayed, sighing with a frustrated face.
Taixu Lao Dao sat in the corner of the handsome tent and squinted his eyes slightly, looked the beauty up and down, suddenly stretched out his dirty hand, touched the beauty's white arm and said with a smile: "Such a charming beauty, what a waste to put here, don't be discouraged, in fact, Poor Dao also has a very important secret hidden in his heart, do you want to know?" ”
"What secret?"
"Want to know? Hurry up and make a plan for me, Poor Dao promises, I will definitely be fooled once you make a plan, and I can't go up anymore, Poor Dao still has more than a hundred years of savings, all of which will be given to you ......"
The beauty's eyes lit up: "How much does the Taoist chief have?" ”
"I won't tell you, you haven't made a beauty trick yet."
The captives were held in a tent in the camp with their hands tied behind their backs, heavily guarded by heavy troops.
Xiao Fan and Cao Yi opened the curtain of the tent, Cao Yi kicked the stool in the tent with a very majestic kick, and said viciously: "Damn, oil and salt don't enter, right?" I'm going to kill you now! ”
"Humph!" The captive twisted his head, ignoring him.
Cao Yi was angry: Wow Wow shouted and pulled out a small dagger from his waist, Xiao Fan hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Cao is angry, convince people with virtue, let's convince people with virtue!" This strong man is a pure man, we must treat each other politely. ”
The captive spoke at this time, and said in a cold tone: "Gentlemen are indeed gentlemen, but they are not very pure. ”
Xiao Fanleng, pure is pure, what does it mean to be "not so pure"?
Cao Yi said impatiently: "Tell me everything you know, what kind of reputation is Yan Reyi doing?" What's next for him? Say it and spare you from dying, and reward you for doing it, otherwise ......"
Cao Yi sneered: "If you don't recruit, I don't want your life, cut your eggs, so that you can't be a master, and you will be embarrassed for the rest of your life!" ”
The captive's face suddenly turned red, and he glared at Cao Yi and said angrily: "Dog thief, you move me to try!" ”
"Try it!" Cao Yi is not good at stubble, so he immediately grabbed the knife and stepped forward, unceremoniously, took off the prisoner's pants, and then held the dagger to look for it between the prisoner's crotch...... Long...... Cao Yi was shocked and angry: "Where are your eggs?" ”
The captive sighed quietly: "Don't do it, others did it many years ago......"
"Are your eggs made of gold, so sought-after?"
Xiao Fan's face was full of sympathy: "It's really pitiful...... You can always tell me what your name is, right? ”
The captive lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head and said heroically: "So, Ma Sanbao is also." ”
