"Your Highness, Sheng Yong of Shandong is leading 30,000 people to Beiping, it seems that he wants to rescue Wang Tong's army."

Qiu Fu walked in at this time and reported the situation in Shandong, "There is also Tie Xuan, who is currently gathering the remnants of Li Jinglong, if he gets his wish, I am afraid that he will pull up a team of hundreds of thousands of people." ”

"Sheng Yong? Tie Hyun? That's the person that the kid said, it seems that it is not easy to deal with, but it is the previous peace, although he can fight well, but he is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, so he surrendered easily. Zhu Di was speechless, when he returned to Beiping before, he was blocked by Miyun's commander Ping'an, but how could it be the opponent of Duoyan Sanwei, Na'an insisted for less than a day, and chose to surrender.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the time to employ people, Zhu Di would not have reused such a general.

But now there is a good opportunity to test him, how could Zhu Di miss this opportunity.

"Qiu Fu, you take Ping'an with you, lead 20,000 horses to Hejian Mansion to stop Sheng Yong, don't persuade Ping'an too much, and test whether he is sincere in surrendering." Zhu Di ordered.

"Yes, Wechen will do it."

Qiu Fu took the order and left, this old man who was close to the sixtieth year followed Zhu Di to fight in the south and the north all the way, and he was in front of every charge, which can be said to have made great contributions to Zhu Di, so Zhu Di trusted him very much, and he was very glad that Hu Ye saved this general for him back then.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Di understood what Hu Ye had said in order to save Qiu Fu, "I'm going to send you a general." ”

"What day is it?"

Brought to Qiu Fu to leave, Zhu Di asked.

"Back to Your Highness, today is the twentieth day of the lunar month." Zhang Fu replied.

"Twenty years old? It has been a month since they besieged Wang Tong, and they must have run out of food and grass. Zhu Di's brows furrowed, and then he tapped his fingers on the table, "Come on, use a hot air balloon to airdrop supplies to the army on the mountain." Wine and meat must not be less, and they must not be starved to death. ”

"Your Highness, when they are hungry, wouldn't it be better for us to rush up and clean them up? Why do you want to give them airdrops? Isn't it a tiger for trouble? Zhu Neng was stunned, he knew how to fight, kill, kill, and kill earlier, Zhu Gaoxu said that he would lead the army to attack the mountain, and he was the biggest supporter.

Now that the soldiers on the mountain are about to starve, why do they have to give them food?

"Father! When they besieged our Beiping City, they didn't think about our feelings! When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his feelings were even more intense than Zhu Neng.

"I ask you. How many people do I have on my hands now? Zhu Di was not angry, but asked a question.

"Including the men and horses borrowed from King Ning, there are a total of 80,000 people, plus the thousands of old and weak soldiers who were established, it can be worth 90,000." Ryu Seung replied.

"Then do you know how many people there are in the imperial court?" The station asked again.

Zhu Neng and Liu Sheng thought for a while, then shook their heads, saying that they couldn't count this at all.

"I'll settle the score for you." Zhu Di muttered, "Even if we wipe out all of Wang Tong's 30,000 horses, there will still be more than 300,000 soldiers who fled before. Even if Tie Xuan can only gather half of it, there are still nearly 200,000, and there are 300,000 of his troops in Shandong on the plane. ”

That is to say. Even if we defeat Li Jinglong's attack, we will soon face an army of 300,000 led by Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong. That Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong are not comparable to Li Jinglong's straw bales, just with this little man in our city, there is no problem in holding Beiping. But if you want to hit Beiping, it is not easy, so let's talk about it. There are 30,000 horses in front of me, shall I collect them? Zhu Di asked.

"And this is only the people and horses in Shandong, as well as the elite sixteen guards of the imperial court, as well as the guards and troops from all over the country, do you say that we have enough people?"

was asked by Zhu Di, Liu Sheng and Zhu Neng stopped talking, because they really couldn't find a reason to refute.

"But Your Highness, they have been resisting for a month, will they surrender willingly?" Liu Sheng asked.

"You don't have to worry about this problem, most of them are soldiers brought by Li Jinglong from the south, and they have been in Beiping for a few months, homesickness is inevitable, as long as people send food to the south and play the melody of the south, aren't they afraid of being embattled?" Zhu Di smiled, if it was against the Mongols, he would not hesitate to starve them to death, because even if the Mongols were all together, they would not let him be afraid.

But his enemy is the emperor, an orthodox emperor, the whole country listens to his orders, his men and horses add up to millions, and he can be conscripted into the army at any time, this kind of enemy is not easy to deal with, he can't give up any opportunity to strengthen his team, not to mention that the opposite side has a third of the number of his existing army, which is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

It wasn't until after he rebelled that he understood why the rebellion of the vassal kings in history had never succeeded, because the vassal kings and emperors were not heavyweights at all, even the Anshi Rebellion in history, or the Seven Kings Rebellion, their scale was far greater than him, but they were not successful.

In the past, he thought that the rebels were incompetent, but now he knows that it was because of the difference in strength, so he accepted the surrender of Ping An and wanted to collect Wang Tong's troops.

And the next development of the situation is no different from what Zhu Di expected, as the hot air balloon drops food in the sky, and there is a local sound in the ears every night, the soldiers on the mountain have no fighting spirit, and gradually some people go down the mountain to find Zhu Di's army to surrender, because they don't want to live a hard life on the mountain anymore, and in the past month, they have been so thin that they can't look good.

And the troops that Sheng Yong came to rescue had been blocked by Qiu Fu and Ping'an in Hejian Mansion, and they couldn't enter Beiping at all, let alone rescue Wang Tong.

For those soldiers who surrendered, Zhu Di was also very tolerant, and if he wanted to go home, he could give the travel expenses, but the crime of this deserter was not small, and he was caught by the court but wanted to be killed, so those soldiers also knew how powerful it was, and they all chose to stay and follow Zhu Di.

So there were hot dogs ignoring the buns waiting, and delicious mutton noodles were greeting, and the soldiers were in tears when they ate, and all the bitterness of the past month was hung on their faces.

"Miaoyin, how do you think your husband is doing?"

Standing in front of King Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di hugged Xu Miaoyin's waist and asked in a low voice.

"Shiro, I didn't expect you to be so tolerant." Xu Miaoyin lay on Zhu Di's shoulder, this was the first time she had seen Zhu Di treat the enemy so leniently, Zhu Di was a person who killed people without blinking, and she also dissuaded Zhu Di many times for this.

"Shaped shì is forced." Zhu Di sighed, he still loves to kill in his bones, but the thirst for killing also depends on the situation, and in this case, he is still thirsty for killing, that is, he is forced to a dead end.

"By the way, you have to pay more attention to Xu'er in the future, although he can fight well, but he has a tendon in his brain, he almost caused Beiping to lose last time, and his eldest brother almost lost his life." Xu Miaoyin muttered.

"You don't have to worry about this, after the New Year, I will take him out to exercise, I believe that after a few big battles, he will know how powerful it is." Zhu Di comforted Xu Miaoyin, he knew his sons very well, the eldest Zhu Gaochi was benevolent and lacked hard work, but this time the danger of Beiping was Zhu Gaochi's ruthlessness, and the scars all over his body were proof.

The second son Zhu Gaoxu is the kind of thorn head, which can be seen by studying under Li Yangming in the early years, and the last time he went out of the city to face the battle, it was also proof. As a father, he knew where this second son should be, and it was best to use it to attack the city.

As for the third son, Zhu Gaosui, it is out of the middle of the eldest son and the second son, not enough for the second son to be fierce, nor enough for the eldest son to be benevolent.

As for the youngest son, he hasn't grown up yet, but it seems that he will get closer to his eldest brother when he grows up.

Therefore, when Zhu Di came back this time, he had already decided on his plan for the coming year, and continued to let Daoyan follow Zhu Gaochi to guard Beiping, and he took Zhu Gaochu out to fight the world.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about them, let's have a good rest, I heard that you fainted several times a while ago, look at how thin you have become."

Zhu Di said and took Xu Miaoyin's hand, which was completely different from a few months ago.

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

Xu Miaoyin smiled faintly, but her pale face told him that her illness was not yet cured.

"It's all my fault, throwing such a big burden of Peking to you, causing you to relapse from your old illness. From now on, you will recover from your injuries, and I will do my best to get that kid to come back and treat you. By the way, the prescription he instructed last time, you must take the medicine on time, you haven't been sick for more than two years, and those medicines must be effective. Zhu Di said softly.

"It's nothing, as long as you're all safe."

……

Beiping is now far away from the war, and the people can rest assured that they can go out of the city to renovate the fields, waiting for the spring to plant, and they can't waste the best farmland because of a war, which is the foundation left by their ancestors.

But Nanjing was not so peaceful, especially the Forbidden City, Zhu Yunwen's face was not better, because he learned that the army led by Sheng Yong was blocked in Hejian Mansion, and the old troops convened by Tie Xuan could not be classified for a long time.

What's even worse is that Wang Tong's army has already defected, or it won't be long before the nail set in Beiping will be gone, and the 500,000 troops sent by Li Jinglong this time will have no effect at all.

"Your Majesty, although Tie Xuan can fight well, he is not the commander of those soldiers after all, and his appeal is obviously not good." Qi Tai said.

"What? You mean, let me reuse that trash from Li Jinglong? Wasn't it enough that he had defeated so many soldiers? Zhu Yunwen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, if you want to gather all the soldiers scattered around Beiping, I'm afraid you really have to need Li Jinglong." Huang Zicheng also agreed.

"Bastard! Darn! ”

Zhu Yunwen was furious, he was very angry now, why did his grandfather kill all of his capable ministers, he really didn't know who to send to stop his fourth uncle's army now. (To be continued......)
