"But, but the fourth brother ......"

Zhu Quan still wants to convince him, and at the same time wants to convince himself,

"You don't see that Yun Wei is actually thinking about you and family affection......"

"Of course I do,"

Zhu Di became more and more heartbroken, and said,

"But because of this, the forces represented by Huang and Qi can't tolerate our brothers, and even more can't tolerate the fourth brother and me! Take a good look, these brothers under you, Brother Seventeen, do you really think they are betraying you? Actually, it's because they know better than you can see that if you don't resist, there is no hope at all! Seventeenth brother, think about it! ”

"Think about it......"

Zhu Quan raised his head and looked at his fourth brother and said with a wry smile,

"It's come to this, what can you do if you want to? As you said, fourth brother, now that my brother has violated his will and refused to return to Beijing first, he has lost his subordinates and Daning behind, even if I don't go with you, how can the court give up? I don't want my family to become a prisoner or a slave, and I can only leave with you, fourth brother. ”

"Seventeenth Brother ......"

Hearing his words, Zhu Di's voice couldn't help but tremble,

"You can rest assured, as evidenced by the cang, as long as I still have a breath of air, the fourth brother, I will never lose you, the seventeenth brother."

"Alright, don't do that,"

Zhu Quan habitually held his hand,

"Actually, it's not a bad thing to be able to live and die with the fourth brother......

It was only at this time that Zhu Di slightly relaxed the nerves that had been crumbling, because judging from the current strength in his hands, he at least had the capital to counterattack, and he didn't have to blindly defend passively. Fortunately, with the assistance of Dao Yan and Gu Cheng, Gao Chi actually mobilized people from all over Beiping to defend the city, and for a time, regardless of men, women, and children, they went into battle together, fighting side by side with the soldiers, and actually succeeded in blocking the 500,000 army from the city wall, buying time for Zhu Di.

The Yan army crossed the Baihe River, and Li Jinglong learned of the military situation and hurriedly sent a sentry to Chen Hui's troops of more than 10,000 people, but Zhu Di was really unkind, and directly asked Duoyan Sanwei to deal with him, and Chen Hui was defeated.

When, the men and horses of both sides met at Zhengcunba. Zhu Di led the Yan army to attack left and right, breaking the seven battalions of the southern army, Li Jinglong was defeated, because he saw that the war was unfavorable, and he was a little afraid of the Yan king from the heart, so he ordered all the troops of Zhengcunba to retreat lightly, and hundreds of thousands of rao baggage were all left to the Yan army. However, Li Jinglong left in a hurry and did not inform the southern army besieging Beiping City, so the Yan army easily defeated the southern army under Beiping City and obtained its supplies. Li Jinglong led the army to withdraw to Dezhou, and the battle of Zhengcunba ended, and only in this battle, the southern army lost more than 100,000 soldiers. On the Yan side, not only did they collect a lot of soldiers, but also captured countless heavy soldiers, and returned to Beiping in victory.

King Yan returned to the city, the soldiers and civilians of Beiping were very happy, and then they rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and after the city celebrated, Zhu Di took Zhu Quan to see Daoyan.

In fact, Zhu Quan had long heard that there was such a mysterious master by the side of the fourth brother, and he himself was a character with a strong desire for knowledge, so he was also very excited after meeting the master. After talking to each other for a while, Zhu Di finally turned the topic to the point.

"What's the next step for the lord?"

Dao Yan asked.

Zhu Di looked at him,

"I know what you mean, master, blindly defending like this is not a solution after all, you have to fight back appropriately, right?"

"That's exactly what the old man thinks."

Dao Yan said with a smile.

Zhu Di leaned back in the chair and said,

"But I don't want to go south to fight yet. This time guarding Beiping City, from top to bottom, from the army to the people, everyone in this city is working hard, and it is not hard for a while, but it is almost the end of the year, and no more soldiers should be used. ”

"Well, the Lord has a point."

Dao Yan listened and nodded slightly.

I don't know if it was because of Zhu Quan's presence, Dao Yan changed his title to Zhu Di again, from "His Royal Highness" to "Lord Lord". Although he noticed this, Zhu Di didn't react to it, but just continued on the topic just now.

"However, rest assured, master, the king will not do nothing but be idle at home."

"Oh, so I came、The lord wants to ......"

Dao Yan asked unhurriedly.

Zhu Quan sat between the two, looking at this for a while, and then at that, feeling both novel and envious, and his expression also changed and looked a little funny.

At this time, Zhu Di also looked at Zhu Quan, and said,

"I want to write a memo to the emperor again, and I also want to write it with my seventeenth brother and send it to the capital."

"yes,"

Dao Yan also sighed and said,

"Seeing that this battle is getting more and more fierce, we can't let it develop like this, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, and we must let the emperor know your intentions and try your best to save this situation."

"Fourth brother?"

Hearing this, Zhu Quan couldn't help but ask,

"Is yours real?"

"Seventeenth brother, what do you mean ......?"

Zhu Di looked at him in surprise.

Zhu Quan was a little embarrassed,

"Brother is, fourth brother, you want to write to the emperor."

"Of course it's true,"

Zhu Di smiled,

"Regarding this matter, didn't the fourth brother and I spend time with you in your palace?"

"I thought it was the fourth brother at that time, you were for ......"

Zhu Quan was even more embarrassed.

Knowing what he thought, Zhu Di took his words and said,

"You think that Fourth Brother I lied to keep me in your house in order to deceive you, right?"

"Oh, yes......"

Zhu Quan also smiled.

Zhu Di sighed and said,

"At that time, Fourth Brother, I was really determined to bring you back, because I didn't want you to be victimized by the court, and I really lied to you at that time. But the matter of going to the book is true, and it is also true that after occupying Beiping, he wrote a recital to Yun Wei, and it is even more true that he was detained by Huang Zicheng and failed to listen to it. So, this excerpt still has to be written, and besides, you must help me, seventeenth brother, can we all write it well? ”

"Of course,"

When Zhu Quan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and said,

"Is this what to write? Right here, we write together. ”

"Okay,"

Zhu Di looked at him and nodded.

Zheng He, who had been serving beside him, immediately sharpened ink and prepared paper and pen for the two, the two brothers wrote while discussing, and Dao Yan also gave advice from time to time.

As it was written, Chai Jingnan rushed in from the outside and said,

"Fourth uncle!"

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Di didn't raise his head,

"If you want to go out to play, just go, you don't have to go with the fourth uncle."

"No, Fourth Master,"

Wu Pingwen also followed,

"This guy wants to go with me to the residence of the leader of the Deer Fire Cha, and I must go to school with the consent of the fourth master."

"Oh?"

Only then did Zhu Di raise his head and look at them,

"Yes, but it's also a barracks anyway, so you two need to be careful."

"Got it!"

The two idle men agreed to go with their chests high.
