Zhu Changjue has been playing a big game of chess.

He has neither real power nor military power, and he is not favored, and his path is destined to be the most difficult among princes. Especially after the fifth brother was on the rise, and his father's attitude became more and more clear, he knew that he wanted to take the throne, and he was afraid that he could only use the extraordinary way.

Zhu Changan was lucky, relying on the ranking of the competition and the grace of blocking the sword, he actually found Bai Heng's blessing. But Zhu Changjue knew that if he wasn't stupid, his ability was not enough, and his father looked down on him, how could he easily give him such a big backer?

But, stupidity has the advantage of being stupid. Stupid people are more comfortable to use, more obedient, and more attached. Therefore, even though he didn't look down on Zhu Changan in every way, he still cooperated with him.

In this way, Zhu Changan slowly became Zhu Changjue's pawn.

Rowing the river and ruling is the cake that Zhu Changjue painted for him. After Zhu Changan borrowed Bai Heng's forces to seize power and clean up other obstacles, Zhu Changjue would naturally find out about his collusion with the Northern Barbarians.

At that time, Zhu Changjue is the general trend. He will call on the whole world to come together to help him clear the monarch's side and crusade against Zhu Changan. And Zhu Changan has no help from himself, and his side has long been controlled by his own people, so with that little brain, he is definitely not his opponent.

That seat will definitely not let him sit hot.

Therefore, even if he walks one more circle, this world can only be his Zhu Changjue's!

Of course, Zhu Changjue couldn't have guessed that Li Chun would come to Beiying when their big event was about to be accomplished, but he always liked to keep his hands and go to three.

His strength will not be fully exposed to Zhu Changan, nor can it really be used by Zhu Changan. He still has a back hand in Beiying's cronies just in case.

This plan was originally to prevent Bai Heng or Zhu Changan from being disobedient; Variables; The situation is not under control, so naturally Zhu Changan will not know.

So when Li Chun suddenly appeared and Zhu Changan began to call for manpower, Zhu Changjue's group of people had already cheered up. When Zhu Changan planted, their plan began to be implemented.

They need this upheaval.

After killing several major generals in Beiying in one go, Bai Heng will have no one to use, and his morale will be greatly hit.

burned several large granaries in Beiying in one go, Bai Heng could no longer fight a protracted battle, and had to retreat.

Slaughtering the stables in one go, Bai Heng and his people had nowhere to escape.

A fire burned the camp, and the combat effectiveness of the Baiheng army will be missing.

Of course, the most important thing is on that signal flare, which is to inform the Northern Barbarian Alliance that the plane must not be lost, hurry up and fight!

The equipment is gone, the grain and grass are gone, the generals are missing, and they can't even run, so they keep ...... One dozen and one accurate! And then there are Zhu Changjue's-stirring sticks that have been deployed everywhere in the army early, this battle will definitely make Bai Heng lose to the bottom.

After the Northern Barbarians broke through this line of defense, the capital was to the south.

It's better to do it all at once!

It is better to take advantage of the fact that the capital is not prepared, the troops are empty, and the city is broken in one fell swoop!

As long as the capital is lost, the Great Zhou will be equivalent to having no heart.

That's still the effect that Zhu Changjue wants!

When the dragons are leaderless, he will be the choice of destiny.

Only when the whole people are in a state of being outside can he fish in troubled waters.

With the help and support of the Northern Barbarians, whether he acted and stood up, or conformed to the will of the people, it would be easy for him to quickly break into Beijing and recover power......

Bai Heng and Li Chun both tried their best.

But when they arrived, in the face of the real "war and chaos" scene, their hearts were dripping blood.

The fire has already engulfed half of the camp. How many guards were burned alive or shot in their sleep. The dead man and the dead horse fell to the ground.

The guards didn't have time to put out the fire, or even to rescue the grain, grass and horses, so they could only be busy rescuing the wounded while fighting with the traitors who were still making trouble.

Chaos-That scene is almost the most painful chaos in Bai Heng and Li Chunrong's careers.

One of the lieutenants who remained in the camp was shot by multiple arrows, one camp tent was poisoned and was being rescued, and one fought five people and was seriously wounded and dying...... The head of the stables had died in his duties, and the horses had suffered heavy losses. Two of the three major granaries have been lost, and how much damage can be recovered depends only on how long this fire will last......

Sigh what? The world has always been easy to fight with foreign thieves, but it is difficult to prevent family thieves!

And after the two got to know each other, they basically understood each other's calculations.

Not only did they have to eliminate the evil, but they also had to think of ways to minimize the damage.

"No, compared to civil strife, if the Northern Barbarian Coalition Army really comes to take advantage of the fire and rob at this moment, it will be more troublesome." The slightest carelessness will wipe out the entire army. Li Chun didn't wait for Bai Heng to answer, so he found a body of armor and put it on.

"You're going to attack?" It's too dangerous. Bai Heng stood in front of him, "If you want to go, I'll go!" You stay and help me salvage the endgame! ”

"Beiying needs you, I'm not familiar with you here, it's useless to stay!" Li Chun couldn't help but say that he took the token from the deputy general who was shot. "Chen Zhou's subordinates listened to the order, I, Li Chun, temporarily took the position of deputy general Chen Zhou, and at this moment I went to thirty miles away to block the Beiban, and if I am willing to stand side by side, I will immediately pack up and set off in half an hour!"

Li Chun got on the horse and raised his arms, and immediately received a huge response.

Bai Heng's subordinates have made great achievements, and with such a great shame tonight, how many people's desire to fight has been aroused. For a while, how many people were enthusiastic, and they just wanted to go to Beiban to kill a few back and forth to avenge this revenge.

"General Bai, I will try my best to buy you time, you hurry up and clean up the camp and the traitor." Li Chun also incorporated the soldiers and dead soldiers he brought with him into the team.

Half of the horses were killed or wounded, and Li Chun didn't dare to draw them all, so he asked for 3,000 men and horses, and quickly disappeared into the night.

His thousand-mile horse was powerful, and he took the lead, but he didn't expect to catch two spies on the road who were delivering a letter to the barbarians. After a little temptation, I found that it was Zhu Changjue's person again.

His face was calm, but his heart was taking several breaths.

Even if Zhu Changjue is three thousand miles away, his control is still not weak no matter where he is. Zhu Changzhe didn't dare to show up for a long time in Jiangnan, which shows how grim the situation is. I don't know ...... What's going on? There is no danger!

He couldn't wait to hurry south......

Beiban was overjoyed to receive the signal flare, and they knew this signal, which was the meaning of the attack. Another spy came to report, saying that the fire in the Zhou camp had increased the chaos, and it was the time to attack.

They quickly organized 5,000 people to take the lead and began to form a team, preparing tens of thousands of troops to advance overnight......

Li Chun and his people did not go head-on to meet the enemy, but chose to ambush.

The advantage of the 3,000 people who are in the dark and high-spirited is still obvious against the 5,000 people who are in the open and are eager to take advantage of the fire to rob and rob.

Li Chun and the others used the terrain advantage to attack successively and completed a hearty victory.

Most of the barbarians were killed and wounded, and only a few hundred people fled with all their beards and tails.

They thought that they could escape quickly if they could escape the catastrophe, but they didn't know that Li Chun deliberately did not rush to kill them all.

Li Chunzuo led the troops to chase and kill all the way, and told the hundreds of people to flee desperately.

Ten miles away from the Beiban camp, Li Chun was still shouting there, so that those who had the courage could hurry out to fight.

And the more arrogant he is, the more deceitful he will be in the eyes of the other party.

Then there were the hundreds of people who fled describing how they were ambushed, how they were trapped, and how Li Chun was waiting for them on the road......

So, this is Zhou Jun's deliberate trick to lure the enemy? - This is what most of the Northern Barbarians think.

If the other party didn't have a plan, how could they ambush them halfway?

If this is not a trap, how can it be left unchecked and intercepted?

Li Chun, if they hadn't prepared something, how could they dare to come to their camp and shout?

Also, why did Li Chun come? How many people did that guy bring?

Could it be that Zhou Jun's confidence rose because of Li Chun's support, and he deliberately used fire and signal flares to lure them in, wanting to annihilate them in one fell swoop?

In this way, the more they hesitate and think about it, the more tens of thousands of people who are already ready to go, the more they dare not take that step easily.

And the disadvantages of the coalition forces are beginning to be revealed.

No one wants to go ahead, no one wants their own people to become victims.

Some said to fight, some said to explore, and some thought that we should wait and see...... The leaders quarreled until dawn and did not make a decision.

As everyone knows, as soon as time drags on like this, the good time when they could easily defeat the Zhou army is fleeting.

By the time Li Chun returned to Beiying, his condition had stabilized.

The loss is not small, but there are also many rescues.

But what made him vomit blood the most was that Zhu Changan ran away.

said that it was in the chaos last night, but it was still caught by someone. A fire broke out in the tent where Zhu Changan was held, but after the fire was extinguished, it was discovered that the person was not in the tent. So he should have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

Although Zhu Chang'an is like the lost dog, it is impossible to threaten him anymore, but he escaped alive, and he still made Li Chun disgusting.

"Although the world is big, the only thing he can go to is Zhu Changjue." It must have been to Gangnam.

"Hurry up and go to Jiangnan. I can handle it here. ”

Bai Heng patted Li Chun on the shoulder. The northern camp has been restored, and the greatest losses are only in terms of grain and grass and war horses. A third of the grain and grass were still left, enough for them to last a month. There are fewer horses, but it does not prevent them from defending. So for the time being, the crisis has been solved.

Li Chun nodded and shook his head.

"When I go south, I will go to the capital to transfer food for you first...... No, I'm going to fetch the horses. Again, you have to fight quickly. The emperor needs you to go back to Beijing to guard. ”

"Good! I will definitely return to Beijing within a month! At that time, I will wait for you to come back in Beijing and drink my private wine together. ”

"It's a deal!"

Li Chun returned to Beijing.

In addition to transferring horses to Bai Heng, he began to worry about the crown prince knowing that Zhu Chang'an had fled and that Bai Heng's army would no longer pose a threat to the capital, would he return to the point of having nothing to fear, and began to make a fuss about the emperor's illness and antidote, in order to ascend the throne as soon as possible......

If Zhu Changan is detained in the Bai Heng Army, this news will naturally not leak. But Zhu Changan's escape, the news should soon be unstoppable......

So he didn't hide it too much, not only went to see the emperor, but also went to the prince's mansion for a walk.

When the prince heard that the southwest was stable, his heart was empty. He didn't want Li Chun to return to Beijing.

Li Chun arrogantly beat the prince openly, and all of his words implied that the current capital has sufficient troops, and no one can make trouble. He also said that he had no ill will towards him, as long as he does not make mistakes again, he will definitely do his best to assist him in the future, and he will also help him in Zhu Changjue's affairs.

The prince was overjoyed, and kept promising that he would give his father a good "service......

On the sixth day of Cheng Ziyu and his entourage going south, they finally arrived at the border of Jiangnan.

They still couldn't wait for news from Xu Haizhi. Cheng Ziyu inevitably sighed, compared to her favors, it seems that the other party still cares more about practical interests.

There is news that the Zhejiang army has been assembled, the Korean naval army on the sea has also been in place, and part of Kang Anbo's men have begun to withdraw to the land, and when his army comes ashore and the naval army is ready, he will launch an attack on Zhu Changjue from the land and water at the same time.

Therefore, all Zhu Changjue can do at the moment is to stand firm and wait for the good news from Jingzhong and North Road......

As for Jiangnan, sure enough, after Shi Ping ate that "clear loss", the wind in Jiangnan tightened up.

The spies came to report that there were unidentified guys secretly checking vehicles and ships, whether by water or by land.

Cheng Ziyu and the others have been changing their coping strategies almost every day.

Before crossing the river, they took the robbed Shi Pingshui bandit boat to change the fishing boat, and then hired people to drive the fishing boat and their last sand boat along the river west. They just wanted to confuse their eyes and pretend they were going to the southwest......

Later, a secret guard came to report that this move had taken away at least five or six large ships for them.

As soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he was already a familiar place for Cheng Ziyu. She took the boat around and around and walked the winding waterway.

The guards went ashore early in the morning to investigate, and the news reported was good and bad.

The good thing is: they went to the Chengjia Taihu Lake Courtyard to see it. Because it has never been inhabited by an owner for many years, it has been locked, so no one is watching. When they passed by boat from Taihu Lake, they deliberately observed the hidden waterway that Cheng Ziyu said, and found that it had indeed been blocked by Taihu Lake Stone.

This is what Cheng Ziyu said to the painting before, if the mouth of the waterway full of reeds is moved to the Taihu Lake stone, it means that there are people inside, and they have successfully entered the refuge inside, which is a signal of safety.

"In addition, on the Taihu Lake stone you mentioned, there is a faint knife carved 'five'."

"Is it obvious?"

"On the contrary, it's hidden. If we didn't know the Taihu Lake stone and guess that King Zhe was inside, we would never have found this clue. ”

"Great! The bad news? ”

"The bad news is that Jingxi is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, as long as we appear, we will definitely be discovered. There were also many suspicious boats in Taihu Lake, and we were dressed as fishermen at that time, and we were able to approach the vicinity of the courtyard to observe. ”

Therefore, it is not easy to bring people from Jingxi to the courtyard, or from Taihu Lake to the hidden waterway to bring people. The key is how to not startle the snake and leave without being surprised? ……

In the waters of Jingxi, which was only fifty miles away, they again purchased two new medium-sized boats.

"You take these two boats to Taihu Lake first." Cheng Ziyu insisted on going separately from the Queen Mother.

The two newly bought ships are unknown to each other, and they are so ordinary that the other party will definitely not notice.

And the previous main ship that has been exposed and filled with pottery bottles has long been the target of the other party, and the other party has not yet known that the queen mother is going south, and it is she who wants to find and kill.

"Only when I am separated from you can you be safe, and the Holy Decree will be safe."

"Grandmother doesn't agree, if you come out together, you have to face it together." The Queen Mother naturally shouldn't.

"Listen to me, it's the best thing to do. I walked the river to Jingxi, and as soon as I appeared, everyone's attention must be on me. Only in this way can you sneak up on my courtyard from Taihu Lake without realizing it. As long as this is the case, we can easily rescue the Philosopher! ”
