The sun was already setting in the west, the sky was getting late, and the faces that were close at hand were gradually lost in the corridor. The conversation between Wu Wei and Liu Sheng continued www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion.

"I'm not guessing what Lord Du wants." Wu Wei hid in the darkness and whispered, "I'm just talking about things. We have been putting too much pressure on them in the capital, and they have not dared to make a difference, and only dare to do some small actions that cannot be put on the table, which is not good for us. ”

"Yes." Liu Sheng said with deep feelings: "The longer the stalemate, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us. Saying that, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "What do you say Grandpa is worried about, why is he unwilling to make this decision?!" ”

"Morality." Wu Wei said lightly: "Adults can't pass the moral level, and they are even more worried about being morally untenable." ”

"Why do you want to do so much? The winner is the king and the loser Kou, and he has not seen the first emperor's country, how much morality has he taken, and it is not the same as the achievement of the eternal emperor? Liu Sheng snorted, a hero like him who was martyred by heaven naturally believed in the violent seizure of power, and disagreed with Wang Xian's many fetters.

"That's a different ......" Wu Wei shook his head, not wanting to debate with Liu Sheng on this issue, so he turned back to the original topic and said: "But there is one thing you said right, we have a large army in hand, and we can be invincible." Let them go out of the capital and do it for them! If they don't do stupid things, how can they make their grandfather make up his mind? ”

"Hmm......" Liu Sheng felt that Wu Wei's words did make some sense, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned: "Yes, with your brother going out together, we can also do some shows outside to help my grandfather make up his mind early!" ”

Wu Wei nodded, his gaze set on the dark night sky. After a while, he whispered: "I believe that Mr. Yan did not die in vain......"

Liu Sheng didn't hear what he said, so he asked, "What did you say?" ”

Wu Wei shook his head, but did not answer.

April 28 of the third year of Hongxi was the day when the army set out to fight. In the early morning of this day, the flags on the square outside the noon gate were like a forest, the red tassels were like fire, 80,000 elite soldiers wearing helmets and armor were neatly and solemnly lined up, and the generals who led the troops wore bright armor, rode on a tall horse, and looked at the direction of the noon gate with a solemn expression under the leadership of their commander Wang Xian, the prince of Zhenguo.

At noon, the bells and drums on the Wufeng Tower rang in unison, the noon gate slowly opened, and a team of Han generals holding high the dragon flag, treasure flags, Luo umbrellas, and golden melons, lined up in a neat line, and came out from the main gate.

The left and right doors were also opened at the same time, and hundreds of civil and military officials came out of them and established themselves in their respective seats.

In the end, the cannon rumbled, the horn shook the sky, and Wang Xian shouted: "Welcome to the emperor!" After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee.

All the soldiers followed Wang Xianqi and knelt on the ground, and shouted "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

This is to see Zhu Gaochi, supported by several princes, appear under the noon gate and ascend to the platform.

Zhu Gaochi held the railing with one hand, looking at the soldiers under the high platform, dancing in the dust, shouting long live in the mountains, a heart was so excited that he couldn't help himself, if it weren't for his wrecked body that was already unbearable to gallop on the battlefield, he really hoped that it would be himself who led the army at this moment, just like the first emperor......

When the salute was finished, the officers and soldiers got up, and the square became silent, and everyone held their breath and listened to the emperor's lecture.

"Soldiers, the Tatar thieves are ungrateful, the wolf is ambitious, and over the years, they have repeatedly invaded our border and plundered our border people, and even killed 20,000 of my soldiers on the banks of the Tru River, and at this moment they are invading the Hetao and vainly trying to annex it, is it tolerable or unbearable?!" Zhu Gaochi shouted.

"Unbearable! Intolerable! The blood of the soldiers was full of blood and they drank highly.

"Where is Zhen Guogong?!" Zhu Gaochi shouted, and Wang Xian hurriedly responded and stepped onto the high platform.

Coming to the high platform, Wang Xian was in armor, could not pay full salutes, could only kneel on one knee, and listened to the emperor personally enshrine him as the generalissimo of Pingyu, and ordered him to control all the military, political and civil affairs of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Big and small matters can be done cheaply!

Although Wang Xian knew that these appointments could not be made at any time, the fact that the civil officials were able to hand over the civil affairs personnel of Shanxi and Shaanxi Zhili could be regarded as a positive response to the goodwill he had released. This made him feel relieved, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others, after all, are not fools who only know how to fight for power and profit, and they can still focus on the overall situation at critical moments.

Emperor Hongxi gave Wang Xian the sword of the Son of Heaven representing the imperial power, and Wang Xian turned around and raised the sword given by the emperor high.

When the 80,000 soldiers boarded, they erupted in a stormy cheer. I don't know if it's an illusion, but to Yang Shiqi and the others, this cheer is much louder than any time before......

Amid the cheers, the officers and soldiers who stayed in Beijing, under the leadership of Shangguan, carried thousands of huge wine jars and filled a large bowl of wine for each soldier who went out on the expedition. Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong also took the wine utensils to the high platform, Zhu Gaochi personally poured a bowl of wine, touched his hands in front of Wang Xian, and said excitedly: "Marshal, just fight with peace of mind when you go, everything in the rear will be focused on the battle situation." Come, I salute you with a bowl, and may you go here and win! ”

Wang Xian was also excited, took the wine bowl with both hands, and said loudly: "Please wait for the emperor!" After saying that, he raised the wine bowl and drank it all.

The 80,000 soldiers also drank the wine, and Wang Xian ordered in a loud voice: "The three armies are leaving!" ”

When the drums and music were played, the soldiers turned around violently, took neat steps, and left the Wumen Square proudly, crossed the long heavenly street, and drove towards the direction of Deshengmen.

On the heavenly street, it was already crowded with people who had heard the news and came to see off the army, not only the wives and children and parents of the soldiers who went out to fight, but also the people whose children were not in the army also ate pot pulp to send the king's master.

Wang Xian was riding on a horse, surrounded by a group of generals, and was slowly walking in the center of the procession, when he saw hundreds of old men carrying wine jugs and meat in front of him.

"The people of the capital elected us as the prince of the town and the governor of the capital, and I wish the grandfather a victory and the expulsion of the Tartars!" The old man at the head trembled and said to Wang Xian in a loud voice.

Wang Xian motioned to the guards to let in a few old men led by him, and several old men poured wine for him, then raised the top of his head and said loudly: "Millions of people in the capital of the old decay generation, hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, respect a bowl of the governor!" ”

The guards looked at Wang Xian nervously, wanting to signal him to find an excuse not to drink this unknown drink, but Wang Xian turned a deaf ear, took it with both hands, and drank the bowl of wine without hesitation.

The people burst into cheers, Wang Xian handed the wine bowl back to the old man, arched his hand to the surrounding people, and said loudly: "Father, old folks, all the food and clothing we have are provided by the people, and now we are going out to fight for the country, and we will live up to the expectations of our fathers and elders, and we will not break the Tartars, and we will not return to the court!" ”

The cheers of the people became even louder, and many people knelt down excitedly and shouted: "Grandpa will win!" ”

More people were infected, and they also knelt down, shouting louder and louder and neater, and even spread to the noon gate in the distance: "Grandpa will win!" Grandpa will win! ”

Hearing this neat shout, Zhu Gaochi's expression was a little unnatural, but the emperor didn't say anything, and went to the palace of Luan Yu.

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi glanced at each other, and the latter sneered and said: "Once the Duke of Zhenguo went on the expedition, his prestige increased greatly, and our years of experience in the dark have all become useless. ”

"Hehe," Yang Rong shook his head with a smile, looked at the direction of the cheers in the distance and said, "If you lose this battle, what will be the result?" ”

"That is naturally the misfortune of the country," Yang Shiqi smiled and said in a low voice: "But the blessings and misfortunes depend on, who can say for sure?" ”

"Yes, let's pray for Daming." After Yang Rong finished speaking, he and Yang Shiqi entered the noon gate side by side, without Wang Xian's boulder pressing on top of their heads, they felt that even breathing was much easier.

Wang Xian's army set out at the end of April and arrived at Xuanfu in early May. Wang Xian's army took a break and learned about the situation of Hetao from the mouth of the Jinyi guard who fought in front of him. At this time, two full months had passed since Arutai invaded the Hetao, and more than a month had passed since the Tatar army surrounded Dawangcheng. What made Wang Xian feel a little relieved was that when the city was built, it was considered that it might be besieged, so the two cities were built quite tall and strong, and the Mongols were not good at attacking the city, so the Dawang City has not yet fallen......

Although he was worried, Wang Xian still took Mo Wen's suggestion, and the army fought steadily and slowly, not giving the enemy a chance to sneak attack.

As a result, it was only 500 miles from Xuanfu to Dawangcheng, and Wang Xian's 80,000 army walked for ten days!

In the past ten days, Liu Sheng, Xu Huaiqing and other generals were anxious, they were worried that if they rushed over so slowly, either the city of the king would be broken, or the Tatar army had already fled, and this labor expedition would be in vain!

Wang Xian is actually more anxious than Liu Sheng and others, there are his wives and daughters in the big royal city, but Wang Xian knows that the more times like this, the more you can't be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, you will make mistakes, and once you make a mistake, it may be a catastrophe!

"Dashuai, if we don't hurry, those Tartars will run away!" Xu Huaiqing shouted at Wang Xian, who was sitting in the carriage reading.

"Don't worry, Shiyi time has passed, in the past few years, the Tartars will no longer run away from the wind as before." Wang Xian didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Their mood to defeat us is no less than we want to defeat them, don't worry about running in vain." ”

Xu Huaiqing and other generals did have an impression of the Mongols at the stage when they were like rabbits, and as soon as the king arrived, they fled from the wind. Hearing this, he was still uneasy and said, "What if they really escape?" ”

"Even if you run away, you won't run too far." Wang Xian finally raised his head impatiently, frowned, and said, "Instead of making noise here, you should go back and step up the training of your subordinates!" How many years have they not ridden the steppe? It's been a few years since there has been a real fight?! ”

"Yes......" Xu Huaiqing and the others were scolded with a big red face, and then they dispersed obediently, what should they do.

"Hey......" Wang Xian sighed, he was no longer in the mood to read, his eyes were cast in the direction of Dawangcheng, his eyes were full of worry. (To be continued.) )
