It was still that small house, Zhang Fu followed Zhang Yu in, closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what did you call me for?" ”

"Do you remember the note you gave me before you took the kid? I said it was opened when my life was in danger. Zhang Yu muttered.

"Of course I remember, I asked him solemnly at that time, and his answer was also very serious, it seems that there is indeed a matter." Zhang Fu said loudly.

"Now the most difficult moment has passed, and it was okay for so many people to besiege Beiping before."

Zhang Yu touched the note in his arms and said with some suspicion.

"Dad, now His Royal Highness is only standing firm in Beiping, to say that the most difficult time has passed, I don't think it maybe." Zhang Fu's face was grim.

"Why?"

"Dad, you must also know that now the imperial army is gathered in Shandong, in addition to Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, he also assigned a general of Pingyan, Weiyang Hou Yunzichen, he is the person next to the emperor, it seems that this time the emperor has made up his mind to take Beiping." Zhang Fu said with a grim face.

"Weiyang Hou Yunzichen? Why haven't you heard of this character before? ”

"This person has been with Zhu Yunwen since he was a child, he became a thousand households at a young age, and two years ago he followed Zhu Yunwen south to quell the rebellion against the Japanese invaders, and once took a hundred people to kill thousands of Japanese invaders, and it was rumored that he was the champion of the three armies, so the first emperor named him the Marquis of Weiyang. Whether it was Geng Bingwen's defeat last time, or Li Jinglong's defeat in the previous two times, the emperor did not use that Yun Zichen, and this time he actually used Yun Zichen, presumably the emperor also made a last fight, if even he failed, I am afraid that the emperor will go into battle and drive the army in person. Zhang Fu replied.

"Oh? Is there still such a figure in the DPRK? It is no wonder that the emperor slaughtered all the heroes and generals, and some new generals will definitely emerge. Last time, Sheng Yong was on par with Qiu Fu. There is also Tie Xuan from Shandong, this time I heard that he is leading an army of 100,000 in Shandong, and he wants to follow this Li Jinglong to level Beiping, and it seems that he has to guard against it. When you say that, it looks like that note might be really useful. Zhang Yu's face changed, but he still didn't open the note, he believed in Hu Ye very much, and said that if he let him open it at the most critical time, he couldn't open it at this time.

"I think this is already the most powerful army that the emperor can organize, if we resist this attack. I'm afraid it will be at least two parts of the world. Zhang Fu said.

"I see that several of their generals are training in Shandong, presumably to boost morale, and we also need to reorganize our army, and it seems that there will be no big moves in a short period of time. During this time, you should arrange things at home, and you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Zhang Yu's eyes flickered.

"Dad, what do you mean ......"

"Our surname is Zhang, even if this thing fails, His Highness will not lose his life, but we are different."

Zhang Fu knew what his father was worried about. If they succeed, they are heroes, but if Zhu Di fails, they will become rebels. It is definitely the fate of the Zhujiu clan.

"Also, if something happens to me, the burden of the Zhang family will be on you, and Yu'er and Hui'er are still young. Yingxue is too naughty, and you are the only one in the Zhang family who can afford this burden. Zhang Yu sighed.

"Dad, what are you talking about. You'll be fine. Zhang Fu comforted loudly, but he didn't dare to raise his voice, for fear of arousing his family's ideas.

"Be prepared, I just hope this kid's note will work then." Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly, since he knew that Zhu Di had a rebellion and had been following Zhu Di, he was destined to have such a tangled day.

"Dad, I believe in Yezi, he can even foresee the siege of Beiping by the imperial army, he borrowed words from the princess three years ago, and then returned it to the princess three years later, so Beiping was able to keep it, so he gave you this note, it will definitely be useful, but Dad, you still have to be careful in everything, if there is something dangerous, don't take risks yourself." Zhang Fu admonished.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, you better go and deal with family affairs, especially Yingxue's child, now that the army is in chaos, you can't let her run around."

"Yes, boy, let's do it......"

After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he left the study and began to deal with the aftermath, his father was right, although his Zhang family was loyal to Zhu Di, it did not mean that they would tie all their lives to Zhu Di's chariot.

Out of Zhang's Mansion to deal with these things, there are also many people in Beiping who are dealing with them, only Dao Yan is light, alone, and has no worries, which is why Zhu Di unconditionally believes in Monk Dao Yan, and at the most critical time, he will stay to help Zhu Gaochi guard Beiping.

Not only Beiping, but also Nanjing has a lot of people who have moved, even 500,000 can't wipe out King Yan's army, they are really a little worried, if one day King Yan really goes south, what should they do.

The most worrying thing is naturally those big businessmen who have trading houses all over the world, and they need to keep an eye on the movements of the southern and northern armies.

However, He Bing didn't worry about this, although his trading houses were all over the country and there were also trading houses in the war zone, but he did not hastily withdraw those trading houses, but obeyed Hu Yejian, provided food and shelter for those displaced people who suffered because of the war, and did not provide any convenience to the armies on both sides.

At the beginning of February, the college ushered in the fourth semester of the school season, and once again admitted 50 people, so that the college had a full 200 students, and the huge college seemed to be lively.

However, they are basically poor students, so although the nominal tuition fee of the academy is very high, the money actually received is not much, if it weren't for Hu Ye's peanuts and bird tea, I am afraid that he really can't afford such a large expense.

In addition, the hospital is becoming more and more famous, because Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian both prescribe medicine for free, and medicinal materials are also a big expense.

However, the theater still has an income, except for people from Qingtian Street, they need to buy tickets to come to see the play. Now there is basically a big drama every month, and there are still a lot of people who come, and many dignitaries and nobles have to come for recreation, and it is not a problem to earn 10,000 taels of silver every time.

Compared with the prosperity of the academy, Guozijian is a little lifeless, because it is now in the midst of war, and many scholars are worried about it, if they become officials, will they be sent to fight or something.

Therefore, there are not many wonderful places in the imperial examination in the second year of Jianwen, but Hu Ye knows that there will be many famous ministers in this session, which is definitely not comparable to his previous one.

For example, Yang Rong, who will later become one of the three famous Yangs, will appear in this session, and Hu Guang, Xie Jin's fellow countryman, will become the champion of this session, as well as Wang Gen, who is just because he doesn't fit Zhu Yunwen's aesthetics, so he should have been the champion, but in the end he gave it to Hu Guang.

However, the talents of these people are still not visible, and they are just doing things in the Hanlin Academy.

And the time is also in April, at the turn of spring and summer, the busy farming season is coming, that is, the time when Zhu Yunwen told Yun Zichen to send troops.

Originally, Yun Zichen wanted to ask Zhu Yunwen for more time, but Zhu Yunwen's attitude was very resolute and he had to attack.

So even though Yun Zichen's team didn't regain morale and still looked lifeless, he had to pull them into battle.

As the commander, Li Jinglong, as if he had no longer care about anything, handed over everything to Yun Zichen, the general of Pingyan, and then Sheng Yong as his deputy, led an army of nearly 500,000 and marched towards Beiping again.

As for Tie Xuan, he led a large army to garrison Shandong and beware of King Yan going south.

"Are they still here after all?"

Zhu Di, who was in the Yanwang Mansion, heard that Yun Zichen led an army of 500,000 to attack again, and a smile appeared on his face, because his army had been reorganized, and the musketeers, soldiers, infantry, and balloon soldiers had all completed the training of cooperation, and their combat effectiveness had far exceeded before.

If you were able to defeat 500,000 troops last year, you can still defeat 500,000 troops, no matter who the commander of this army is.

"Your Highness, don't take it lightly, this time the army of the imperial court, although the commander is Li Jinglong, but the one who really holds the command is Weiyang Hou Yun Zichen, his combat experience is definitely not comparable to Li Jinglong, he led a hundred cavalry before and rushed to thousands of widows." Zhang Fu stepped forward and reminded.

"Wen Bi, he is also a young man, and you are also a young man, I don't know how you and him must be? If so, what will be the result? Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Fu, and then muttered.

"Your Highness, if there is a war, I will take his head!"

Zhang Fu said with certainty.

"That's the end of it!" Zhu Di laughed, and then stood up, "Zhang Yu' Zhang Fu, you two led 50,000 horses south to Hejian Mansion to meet the main force of the enemy, I will send the large troops of the Shenji Battalion to you, and there are two Duoyan cavalry, you must keep the army out of Hejian Mansion." ”

"Qiu Fu, Jin Zhong! The two of you led 30,000 horses and horses to the west. Liu Sheng, Zhu Neng, the two of you led 20,000 Ma Dong to Yongping, and attacked from both sides. In the end, I led a team of Duoyan cavalry, made a detour behind enemy lines, and gave them dumplings, I want to see what kind of role that Wei Yanghou is, and dare to take Li Jinglong's position. ”

Zhu Di gave a few orders in a row, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, remembered Xu Miaoyin's words, and then said, "Xu'er, you will follow me and attack the city for your father!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was originally a person who couldn't sit still, but now he can follow Zhu Di to fight in the south and the north, so he is naturally very happy.

"Alright, let's all go down and prepare, and the army will set off tomorrow!" Zhu Di waved his hand, and everyone took their places.

And the next day, Yun Zichen had already come to Hejian Mansion, and first encountered a defender left by Qiu Fu, but how could that small team be Yun Zichen's opponent, and it was quickly eliminated.

However, Yun Zichen didn't dare to take it lightly, and when he looked up and saw the two hot air balloons floating in the sky in the distance, he knew that there was Zhu Di's army in front of him.

"Set up your defensive formation! Get ready for the first wave! ”

Yun Zichen immediately ordered, and the battle was about to break out. (To be continued......)
