Chapter 483: Final Confession
Looking at the letters on the table, and the person who knelt in front of him and was scared, Zhu Di was really angry, funny, and a little proud, yes, this pride came from his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, who was far away in Beiping, because this method of disposal was too appropriate.
The emperor's seal on the letter is eye-catching, and the content of the letter is undoubtedly to Zhu Gaochi to promise the throne of King Yan, and let him cooperate with the court and "destroy relatives with righteousness".
After reading it, Zhu Di looked at the kneeling man and asked,
"Can you tell the Lone King who you are?"
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is Jinyi Wei Qianhu, named Zhang An......"
The man was so frightened that his voice trembled.
Zhu Di nodded and said,
"It turned out to be Jinyiwei, so why do you want to obey Fang Xiaoru's orders? As a brocade guard, he was only sent by the emperor, have you even forgotten about this? ”
"The lower officials, the lower officials naturally haven't forgotten,"
Zhang An had no choice but to answer,
"However, now that the government is almost all in charge of the government by Lord Fang alone, what he ordered the officials to do, the officials really can't be disobeyed, not to mention ......"
"What's more?"
Zhu Di stared at him and asked.
Zhang settled for a moment, and then made up his mind to say,
"Now our Jinyiwei is no longer as powerful as the first emperor was when he was there, and his status is far less than before, if we don't obey him, we won't be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future......"
"I see, get up and speak,"
After Zhu Di waved his hand and asked him to stand up, he said,
"King Lone knows that you can't help yourself, so he won't harm you, Fang Xiaoru killed Wu Sheng, that is his cruelty, but King Lone will not hurt the innocent like him."
"Thank you Your Highness for sparing your life, the villain will never dare to forget ......"
As he spoke, Zhang An looked like he was about to kneel again.
Zhu Di raised his hand to stop him,
"However, after you return to the capital, you have to bring a few words to Fang Xiaoru for King Gu."
"Okay, the lower official must bring it."
Where did Zhang An dare to say anything else at this time, he could only nod again and again.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Di was helpless and funny, and said in his heart, he was also a Jinyiwei, but he was not the same person as Jiang Xuan, so he didn't have much hope, but said casually,
"You tell Fang Xiaoru, since he is a great Confucian today, he should know that Tianli and Ren Ren are human, and he can't instigate the emperor to do this cannibalistic thing, the lonely king has repeatedly expressed his willingness to strike and sue for peace, not because he is afraid of him, but for the common people in the world will no longer suffer from war, if he gains an inch, the lonely king will never have any more negotiations with him in the future, and from then on, those innocent lives lost due to the resumption of war are all because of his filial piety!"
"Ah, okay, the lower officials heard clearly."
When Zhang An heard this, he seemed to be greatly shocked,
"Your Highness will definitely convey His Highness's meaning completely."
"Then, Master Zhang can go back, and King Gu will not keep you."
While speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned to the people on both sides to send him out of the Yan army camp.
Looking at the letter of discord written by Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Di's heart involuntarily flew back to Beiping, although it has survived the scorching heat and it is autumn, but during this time, the soldiers of the whole army are also a little tired. Coincidentally, at this time, there was a new battle report from the north, Ping An had given up attacking Beiping, rushed to reinforce Fang Zhao, and planned to join forces to besiege Baoding, and Yang Wen, who was stationed in Liaodong, also moved, as if he was going to attack the surroundings of Beiping.
Just right, take the opportunity to return to help, go back and rest for a while to sort out your emotions. In this way, Zhu Di led the whole army to pull out the camp and division, first to relieve the siege of Baoding, and at the same time sent a report to inquire that at this time, Fang Zhao was unable to attack Baoding for a long time, so he was stationed in Yizhou and tried to meet with Ping'an. After Zhu Di learned about it, he immediately divided his troops and ordered Zhu Neng to lead 30,000 people to meet Ping'an as the main general, while he commanded the rest of his troops to concentrate on dealing with Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao is also very interesting, he actually set up the camp on the mountain, probably to defend it by virtue of geographical advantages, and although the Yan army fought bravely, the strength was insufficient, as long as it could hold on for a few days, as soon as the safe reinforcements arrived, they could attack back and forth. Although it is not said how much the Yan army will be wiped out, it is at least possible to win another battle.
Standing on a high place and watching the camp of the Southern Army, Zhu Di thought for a while, and then called a few detectives to instruct,
"A few of you go to the mountain behind the southern military camp to see what kind of landform it is, and rush back as soon as possible to report to the king."
"Subordinates obey."
Several of the spies turned and left.
Zhu Di took the people who accompanied him back to the Chinese military tent and told the camp to bury the pot and cook immediately, so that everyone could eat in advance and be ready to fight at any time.
After passing the order, sitting down in the tent, Zheng He glanced at Zhu Di and said,
"My lord, while you have some time, you might as well take a break."
"I can't settle down,"
Zhu Di sighed and said,
"By the way, Sanbao, the meal will be cooked in a while, and the people will send it here, and I won't go back to the bed."
"Got it."
Zheng He turned around and went out of the tent to order his own soldiers.
Chai Jingnan sat beside Zhu Di and held the Panlong Sword in his arms and said,
"Fourth uncle, why did the other party set up the camp in the mountains?"
"They want to be condescending and defensive, which is more beneficial to them."
Zhu Di explained with a smile.
Chai Jingnan nodded lightly, and his eyes turned,
"Oh, I see, they think it's more difficult for us to attack from the bottom up, and we have to climb the hill while fighting, so it takes double the physical strength, so it's hard to attack, right?"
"Exactly,"
Zhu Di nodded and said,
"And Ping'an, who has retreated from the direction of Beiping, is also rushing to this side for reinforcements, and they feel that as long as they can hold this place, they will have the opportunity to cooperate in repelling our army."
"Hah! Actually, it's not very difficult to climb from the bottom to the top,"
Speaking of this, Chai Jingnan suddenly smiled evilly, and glanced at Wu Pingwen Dao,
"For example, for a martial arts hero like Wu Liuxia, it's not a problem at all."
"Hey, you little ghost, why are you making fun of me again,"
Wu Pingwen, who was sitting on the side, was so crying and laughing by him that he said,
"Moreover, we have been fighting together for so long, why don't you call me 'Sixth Uncle Wu'?"
"That's not going to work,"
Chai Jingnan glanced at him and said,
"Call you 'Sixth Uncle', wouldn't it seem like you are younger than Fourth Uncle, but in fact, you are much older than Fourth Uncle, aren't you?"
"You, you little guy, what a ......"
Wu Pingwen was almost speechless by his anger, and after a pause, he said,
"Okay, if you don't want to be called 'Sixth Uncle', just call it 'Sixth Uncle', and it's not hard to climb the slope, it's not just me, don't you always say that your martial arts are higher than me? Going up the mountain must be more advantageous than me. ”
"Of course!"
After his rebuttal, Chai Jingnan looked very proud and raised his neck and said,
"As long as the fourth uncle gives an order, let alone going up the mountain, or going to heaven, I have to find a way to do it."
