In mid-September, Zhu Di wrote a letter to Li Jinglong, saying that Zhu Yunwen did not abide by the ancestral system and raised the position of the civil officials of the six ministries to the status of the six prime ministers, which was completely contrary to the Hongwu period.

In the letter, Zhu Di mentioned various problems since Zhu Yunwen came to power, indicating that he was forced to a dead end by the imperial court when he raised troops.

Li Jinglong sat in the house in Texas, snuggled up to the beautiful woman in the green building given to him by Yang Xianzhi and said: "General~ What do you look at so fascinating, aren't people good-looking?" ”

Facing Mei Jiaoniang, Li Jinglong threw Zhu Di's handwritten letter aside.

For Li Jinglong, Zhu Di's letter is like not being written, he will never listen to this kind of tattered letter, and then he hugged the woman in his arms and began to move his hands and feet: "Of course, General Ben's beauty is good-looking." ”

Outside are heavily guarded men, hundreds of thousands of troops have been stationed, ready to attack Zhu Di's Beiping Mansion at that time.

Zhu Di's words Li Jinglong is not particularly believing, but one thing is right, since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he has been constantly promoting civil officials and suppressing military and promoting literature, and he is not satisfied.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, in Li Jinglong's heart, the defeat of Zhu Di's army is a matter of time, just with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court, even if you use corpses to pile up, you can pile up a road to Beiping City.

Zhu Di is doomed to failure, Li Jinglong thought of this, proudly raised his cup, drank a few sips of tea, and said to the woman in his arms:

"There can't be women in the barracks, you can change your clothes later, and if someone finds me, I'll have to take care of it."

The woman smiled and said, "Yo, you are a rebel general, and I am afraid that they will not succeed." ”

"Who said that when General Ben went north, then Zhu Di, the king of Yan, obediently withdrew directly from Zhending City, which only shows that he King Yan is also very frightened of me."

Li Jinglong waited for the woman in his arms to change into a military uniform, and then ordered the scribe to come in.

Then Li Jinglong said: "Let Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, quickly recover Yongping Mansion, and catch the traitor Geng Bingwen and bring him back to Tianfu to punish the crime." ”

Then the room was quiet again.

Li Jinglong directly closed the doors and windows, and said to the woman with a smile: "Come on." Serve General Ben well. ”

The woman stepped forward coquettishly.

…………………………

Originally, Dao Yan and Cheng Yuan went to Daning to borrow troops from King Ning, but Zhu Di was a little worried, after all, Zhu Quan was not so easy to talk to.

Cheng Yuan stood on a high place, leisurely looking at the north of September, and everywhere he looked was the army of black oppression.

The Yan army is only a hundred thousand, and it has such a great momentum, not to mention the more than 500,000 southern army, which definitely has even greater momentum.

Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan went to Daning in order to set off smoothly, Qiao Zhuang dressed up, and took the guide to clear the customs, so they led the horse to hurry.

The further you go to Daning, the more north it becomes, and when they arrived at Songting Pass, Dao Yan and Cheng Yuan were directly stopped by the soldiers guarding the pass.

In the north in September, the grass is withered and yellow, and the leaves have fallen one after another, Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan are dressed as merchants who are visiting relatives.

Seeing the two of them coming, a soldier immediately stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming, and why do you want to go out of the customs?" ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Poor master, we are going to visit relatives outside the customs. ”

The soldier looked at the two of them suspiciously, looked up and down, and said, "What kind of relatives are leaving?" According to the rules of the imperial court, a body search is required. ”

The two soldiers immediately came over and checked Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan inside and out, fortunately he didn't know that Dao Yan's head was fake, otherwise it would be a big deal.

In addition to the dry food guide, it is a few treasure bills with a face value of 100 Wen, and some jerky.

The soldiers guarding the pass didn't find anything, but they still didn't let it go immediately, and picked up the road guide of the two to check it carefully.

found that there was no problem, so he said to the two soldiers next to him: "There is nothing wrong with these two people, let them go." ”

The trick that Zhu Di prepared for Cheng Yuan was sealed inside the clothes, and he couldn't find it unless he opened the clothes.

"Thank you, thank you." Cheng Yuan bent down and nodded to thank the guards at the gate, and then hurriedly walked out of the pass with Dao Yan.

The scenery outside the gate and inside the pass are different, and Cheng Yuan observes the terrain of this generation while walking. Dao Yan held his hair on his head and said as he walked: "Mr. Cheng is sure to borrow King Ning's soldiers and horses this time?" ”

Cheng Yuan thought for a while: "I'm not sure, but I have to borrow it, no matter what method I use." ”

Dao Yan sank his eyelids, "The poor monk cooperates with Mr. Haocheng." ”

Cheng Yuan nodded, and as he walked, he took out a pencil and drew the terrain of Songting Pass on paper.

Dao Yan had never seen a pencil, and said with some surprise: "What is this, you can write without ink?" ”

This is the pencil, which the system checks in. Cheng Yuan said: "This is a pencil, I can make a few for you next time." ”

Dao Yan hurriedly thanked him, looked at the strange shape drawn by Cheng Yuan and said, "What are you painting this." ”

Cheng Yuan looked at the mountain, the terrain, and the surrounding passes, and said: "The terrain here must be familiar, it will be useful when the time comes, the Songting Pass guards are about a few thousand people." ”

Hearing this, Dao Yan immediately turned his head to look at Cheng Yuan: "Is it difficult, Mr. Cheng wants to ...... from here when the time comes."

"Yes, just from here." Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and said: "It's dangerous to pass here, but there is no way to break through, we are familiar with the terrain here as we walk." ”

Dao Yan sighed: "Although the prince has given us a clever plan, but Ning Wang Zhu Quan is a brave vassal king who fights in addition to the prince, and with just the two of us, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Turning his head, Cheng Yuan looked at Dao Yan with some confusion and said, "Master? I remember that you have never been such a depressed person, how did you become unconfident when you went out this time. ”

Dao Yan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Cheng, the poor monk is also worried." King Ning is afraid that he will not agree to us borrowing troops, and whether he borrows it or not, he will say otherwise. ”

"King Ning has to borrow if he doesn't borrow, if he doesn't borrow, let's rob it, and when the time comes, King Ning will join the gang, and if you don't want to be a soldier, you have to follow King Yan to do it."

Dao Yan is a smart man. Immediately understood what Cheng Yuan meant, "I just hope I don't go this far." ”

Nine towns in the border area. Among them, this Jizhou is close to Beiping City, and there is only this road to Daning, and the places on the side are strictly defended by the imperial court, and the terrain is dangerous, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even if you borrow soldiers, it will be difficult to fight back, and if you fight hard, you will definitely suffer, but these are all later words, and now you should go to borrow soldiers first.

Dao Yan looked at the caravan leaving the customs and said, "Poor monk......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Cheng Yuan waved his hand to Dao Yan and said: "You can't be called a poor monk, otherwise it will be useless for me to give you this disguise, change the mantra first, otherwise I haven't seen King Ning yet, and I'll put myself in first." ”

Then the two of them continued on their way, observing the terrain as they went, and when the time came, they would always pass through here when they borrowed troops to come back.

How to live, in the shortest possible time, this requires a good use of your brain, and how to borrow troops, these two things are constantly fighting in Cheng Yuan's mind, thinking of a way.

There must be no miscalculation, otherwise Zhu Di and Yan Jun are still waiting to borrow troops to reverse the overall situation, Cheng Yuan looked at Dao Yan: "Are you familiar with the terrain outside the pass?" Let's talk about it. ”

Dao Yan nodded: "I just understand a little, so poor...... I'll tell you about it. ”
