(

Emperor Xuande never thought that the King of Han might attack the idea of the capital, and only after listening to Li Yuntian's words did he realize the severity of the shape, and his brows were tightly furrowed...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:щш w.shuhāhā.cc.

When Jing was martyred, Emperor Yongle led his troops south, bypassed the southern army stationed in Jinan Mansion, and fought all the way from Shandong to Nanzhili, during which the time passed as long as half a year.

In this period of up to half a year, the defense of Nanjing City was not strengthened, and there were very few troops in King Qin, and the vast majority of people were waiting for Emperor Yongle and Emperor Jianwen to fight it out.

After all, this is the internal struggle of the Ming imperial family, no matter who wins or loses, it is still the Zhu family, and those local officials will not be affected in any way.

Besides, no one wants to stand on the wrong side when Emperor Yongle and Emperor Jianwen are not decided, in that case, they will suffer a catastrophe, and it is safest to stand still.

Then again, although the city of Nanjing is weak, but the city is high and thick, with the strongest city wall of the Ming Dynasty, if the defenders are stubborn and waiting for reinforcements, it will not be easy for Emperor Yongle to capture the city of Nanjing, and when the pursuing southern army arrives, Emperor Yongle can only retreat.

But who would have thought that Li Jinglong and King Gu, who were guarding the Jinchuan Gate, would open the city and surrender, so that the Yan army entered the impregnable Nanjing City almost effortlessly, and the Yongle Emperor also seized the world.

Nowadays, the situation between Emperor Xuande and the King of Han is very similar to that of the Jingnan in those years, in addition to being loyal to the armies of both sides, it is difficult for the two to obtain the support of the troops of various localities before dividing the victory, and the vast majority of civil and military officials from other places will be on the sidelines, and no one dares to act rashly.

That is to say, in this war between Emperor Xuande and the King of Han, in addition to the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion and Shandong Metropolitan Division of Nanzhili, only the surrounding Daning Metropolitan Division, Shanxi Metropolitan Division, Shanxi Xingdu Division and Henan Metropolitan Division will be involved, and the rest of the metropolitan divisions are either beyond the reach of the whip chief or have concerns.

Nowadays, the Ming army loyal to Emperor Xuande and the rebel army loyal to the King of Han are facing off at Juyong Pass, Xuanfu Town, Daming City and Zhending City, so the attention of the world is focused on the contest between Emperor Xuande and the Han King who sat in Dezhou.

Once the King of Han came to the city by surprise, then the civil and military officials in the capital would definitely panic and be frightened, and it was unknown whether there would be people like Li Jinglong and King Gu who would open the city gates and surrender for glory and wealth or other reasons. The update is the fastest and most stable

In the final analysis, the war between Emperor Xuande and the King of Han belonged to the dispute of the imperial family, and there were examples of the Battle of Jingjing in front of us, so it is really hard to say how many people in the capital will be loyal to Emperor Xuande.

Zhang Fu looked at Li Yuntian with a surprised expression, the current situation was that Emperor Xuande was on the offensive and King Han was in a defensive posture, but the young Li Yuntian was keenly aware of the potential advantages of King Han, which really surprised him.

"Your Majesty, if King Han really has such a plan, we have to guard against it." Subsequently, Zhang Fu came back to his senses and solemnly reminded Emperor Xuande.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Han King's sneak attack on the capital is simply self-defeating, not to mention the follow-up counterinsurgency army, Juyong Pass, Xuanfu Town, Daming City and Zhending City will definitely send troops to help the capital after learning the news, then the Han King will face the situation of being surrounded and annihilated, and there is nowhere to escape.

But it is precisely because everyone sees it this way that it gives King Han a chance to win by surprise, and in Zhang Fu's opinion, it is really rare for someone to see through this.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that he should fight to the death with the King of Han in Shandong, and it is not appropriate to let him set foot in Beizhili." Zhang Hao also agreed with Li Yuntian's analysis, and glanced at Li Yuntian with appreciation, even he didn't expect that King Han might adopt such a desperate approach.

"How to keep the King of Han in Shandong?" Emperor Xuande frowned and looked at Li Yuntian, since Li Yuntian had given him a problem, there should be a way to solve it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the King of Han really wants to sneak attack the capital, then he will definitely go to Cangzhou, and then go north to the capital through Cangzhou, which is the safest shortcut to reach the capital."

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed to a place between Jingzhou City and Cangzhou City on the map and said, "If it can be determined that the King of Han has this intention, our army can set up an ambush in Baihegou and give the King of Han a head-on attack, so that he will not dare to act rashly in the future." ”

Baihegou is a long and narrow mountainous area that is the only way to travel from Dezhou to Cangzhou, and it is early autumn when the trees on the mountain are leafy, just in time for ambushes.

"How can I know that King Han wants to attack the capital?" Emperor Xuande glanced at Baihegou on the map, nodded thoughtfully, and then asked with a stern expression.

"Your Majesty, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and the minister can't say it clearly now, so he can only wait and see what happens." Li Yuntian shook his head, now he had too little information at hand to make a judgment.

"Someone!" Emperor Xuande groaned for a moment when he heard this, called Jin Ying, who was guarding the door of the imperial carriage, and solemnly issued an edict, "Tell Marquis Wuhou of Yang and Qing Pingbo, let the two of them march carefully and beware of the ambush of the rebels." [33015671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 330 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 333

A few days later, when Emperor Xuande's imperial chariot was about to leave Hejian Mansion, there was bad news from the front:

The vanguard led by the Marquis of Yangwu and Qing Pingbo was ambushed by the rebels in Fucheng County, north of Jingzhou, and was defeated after half a day of bitter fighting.

Under the command of Yang Wuhou, the Ming army fought hard and finally broke out of the ambush circle, not only Qing Pingbo was seriously injured in the melee, but also lost half of his men and horses, and suffered heavy casualties.

In the face of the fleeing Ming army, the rebels were worried that Jingzhou City would send troops to rescue, and they were afraid of the prestige of Yang Wuhou, and were afraid that Yang Wuhou would prevent the troops from fighting back, so they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue but quickly retreated south and retreated to Dezhou City.

After learning the news, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but be furious, and threw the report on the ground heavily, he had previously reminded Yangwu Hou and Qing Pingbo, but the two still fell into the ambush circle of the rebels, which was too hateful.

In fact, this also complained about the carelessness of Yang Wuhou and Qingpingbo, no one thought that the rebels would go deep alone, and actually sneaked to Fucheng County, north of Jingzhou, to ambush them.

Moreover, the commander of the rebel army was Qingyi Bo Lüping, who was not only a henchman of the Han King but also one of the people who were good at long-range surprise attacks among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Ping was the governor of the Houjun Governor's Office, and he was originally serving in the Houjun Governor's Mansion in the capital, and he was sent to the Shanxi Metropolitan Department to perform official duties three months ago, and no one expected him to appear here, which was really surprising.

This time, Lu Ping was lightly charioted and Jian Cong, and brought 50,000 rebels to quietly ambush Fucheng County, and unexpectedly gave the vanguard of the Ming army a severe blow.

Originally, according to Lu Ping's plan, he was ready to wipe out the vanguard troops, but Yang Wuhou was not an idle person after all, so he commanded his men and horses to break through the two lines of defense set by Lu Ping, and finally led the remnants out of the ambush circle.

Emperor Xuande was given a slap by the king of Han, and he couldn't help but be very angry and ordered his troops to speed up their march and rush to Jingzhou City as soon as possible.

However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, the Ming army turned the defeat of the vanguard troops into a great victory when it was publicized, saying that more than 20,000 rebels were annihilated in this battle.

On August 27, after seven days of marching, the counterinsurgency army led by Emperor Xuande finally arrived in Jingzhou City, and Qingyang Boluqing, who was sitting in Jingzhou City, led the civil and military officials in the city out of the city to greet him, and the entire Jingzhou City had become a huge barracks.

Qingyang Boluqing is the governor of the Chinese army, and he led an army of 50,000 troops into Jingzhou City half a month ago, and took a defensive position in the confrontation with the Han king, waiting for the arrival of the counterinsurgency army.

After entering Jingzhou City, Emperor Xuande convened important civil and military ministers to discuss the next course of action.

Judging from the current situation, the Ming army in Jingzhou City has three offensive directions, one is Dezhou City, the second is Le'an, and the third is Cangzhou.

Among them, Cangzhou has the weakest army, only 20,000 people, but it is certain that the rebels in the city will not be able to hold on to it, and they will hold on to the city.

Considering the geographical advantage of the defenders, it would be difficult to capture the castle if the besieging side did not have several times the strength of the defenders in a siege like this.

Dezhou and Le'an are both abundant in troops, and they are at odds with each other, and it is not easy to capture either of these two cities, and the Ming army in Jinan City needs to cooperate.

"Good news, good news, our army annihilated more than 20,000 Shanxi rebels in Zhending Mansion!" Just as everyone was expressing their opinions and discussing a lot, a guard officer walked in quickly with an official document in his hand, shouting in his mouth.

Hearing this, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but light up, and hurriedly took the official document to check it, and his face immediately showed joy and color, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the second day after the attack on Yangwuhou's vanguard troops, Zhou Zheng, who was sitting in Zhending City, took the initiative to attack and attacked the Shanxi rebels who entered the territory of Zhending Mansion, so that the Shanxi rebels had to withdraw from the territory of Zhending Mansion.

There are a total of 120,000 rebels in Shanxi, and there are 100,000 garrisons in Zhending City, which is the town with the largest number of troops stationed by the Ming army in the northern Zhili territory, second only to the capital.

Although the defenders of Zhending City can rely on the advantage of the city wall to block the rebels, once the rebels bypass Zhending City and go to Jingshi or Dezhou, then the defenders of Zhending City will definitely fall into passivity.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng didn't want to break the battle out of Zhending Mansion, so he would lose control, so he took the initiative to attack and took the unsuspecting Shanxi rebels by surprise, and he would definitely not attack rashly.

It was not until this time that all the ministers present knew that the person sitting in Zhending Mansion was actually Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Zhongguo, and at the same time learned the identity of the commander of the rebel army in Shanxi - Lu Zhongqian, the Duke of Weiguo.

After some deliberation by everyone, it was finally decided to concentrate their forces to storm Dezhou City, as long as Dezhou City was taken, then the Han King would lose the most important military town in his hands, and his power would be greatly damaged
