Chapter 291: Returning with a Feather

Seeing that Zhu Di was about to ride forward, Zhu Quan, who was accompanied by his side, stretched out his left hand and grabbed the reins of the sweaty horse, and shouted with a calm face: "Where is Tie Xuan who participates in politics?" That is, to lead the army and the people to surrender, how to support it like this? Don't come to see the king yet? His internal strength was deep, his voice was not angry, and under the question of such a narrow place as the city gate cave, Zhu Di, Ji Gang and others were shocked to the ears of faint ringing.

Zhu Di is also a person who is accustomed to the style, hearing Zhu Quan shouting and asking, although Sheng Yong in the distance opposite hesitated slightly, although he spoke sincerely, he inevitably became suspicious in his heart, and shouted angrily: "Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, you are sincere and obedient, why don't you lead the officials of the whole city to see this king, what is the purpose of this?" ”

Tie Xuan stood on the side of the winch of the jack gate on the city gate, and heard Zhu Quan's clear voice in his ears, thinking that the two had entered the city, he immediately reached out and grabbed the waist knife in the hand of a soldier, and slashed at the hemp rope on the winch that was as thick as a child's arm.

Under the loosening of the winch, the jack gate "creaked", but it still did not fall, it turned out that Tie Xuan was a civil official after all, and the knife was rusty after all, although this knife used all his strength, but did not completely cut the thick rope.

Standing in the city gate cave, Zhu Quan's ears were sensitive, he heard the sound above his head, and when he turned his head to look, he saw the black and swarthy iron jack gate on the top of the city gate cave behind. With that, he hurriedly turned the horse's head. ”“

Sheng Yong saw that Zhu Quan saw through his plan, so he immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist, and led a group of wolf-like soldiers to rush forward, shouting: "Hugh is leaving, anti-thief Zhu Di." ”

Seeing this situation, Zhu Di immediately hurriedly turned the horse's head and fled for his life.

Seeing a group of guys with weapons in hand a few steps ahead, they rushed murderously, turned around and spread their hooves and galloped away.

Several soldiers at the head of the city saw the political suffocators move, and immediately brandished their war knives and slashed at the rope that was holding the jack gate.

The heavy and thick jack brake fell with a bang, and the horsetail of the sweaty BMW fell to the ground, stirring up a piece of mud.

Tie Xuan on the tower of the city gate rushed to the battlements of the city wall, and gave the order to release arrows. A group of southern sergeants and generals who were lurking at the top of the city shot a barrage of arrows at the Yan soldiers who fled in a hurry below.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ji Gang led his own soldiers to turn around and run out. When the people struggled between the mud, they shot arrows at the head of the city, and they fell down one after another screaming. It turned out that although the flood water receded, there was still a mud puddle outside Jinan.

In the cave of the city gate, Zhu Di and Zhu Quan saw that their subordinates in front of them fell under the chaotic arrows, and they all pulled out their waist swords and stabbed them fiercely at the back buttocks of the mount.

"Sweat and Blood BMW" and "Dark Cloud Cover Snow" are both good horses in ten thousand, and they are suddenly frightened and descend when they board, and their hooves are like flying, and they are speeding forward.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air in his ears "snorted", flying locusts jumped wildly, Zhu Quan had been hit by an arrow under the severe pain in his left shoulder, and he didn't care about it at the moment of life and death, and his legs slammed into the belly of the horse and galloped forward.

On the tower of the city gate, several southern sergeants hurriedly tied up the thick rope and twisted the winch again, slowly lifting the jack gate.

Sheng Yong was so anxious that he led dozens of cavalry to ride forward, and when he leaned over, he passed through the jack gate that had not yet been fully raised, rushed out of the city gate, and chased after Zhu Quan, who ran out of Lixu and vaguely saw a human figure.

Tie Xuan stood at the head of the city, stretched out his hand and slapped the head of the city hard, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, at this time he knew that he had missed the opportunity to sit down because he couldn't hold his breath, so he looked at Zhu Di, Zhu Quan was as far away as a fish that slipped through the net, and he regretted it in his heart.

In the tent of the Yan army, Zhu Di snatched the arrow from the military doctor and carefully took it down, and the arrow that was still stained with his own blood was broken in two pieces, and he scolded angrily like thunder: "The husband is prosperous, the rotten Confucian Tiexuan, the ** people have not been able to kill this king, and one day they will die in the hands of this king." "The conceited and resourceful he never imagined that he would suffer such a big loss today, and when he mustered up the courage to go to surrender, he was fooled in such a clumsy plan to surrender, and almost lost one of his old lives, and there was a kind of grief and indignation of being hurt and deceived.

Zhu Quan in another camp tent climbed on the couch, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is more than one trick such as Huang Zhong's deception to Cao Cao, and Zhu Laosi and I are also cunning, but unexpectedly, we almost capsized in the gutter and died under such a clumsy trick. He grinned and got up, took the hot tea offered by Jing Jun, and said self-deprecatingly: "Don't let me bear the name of killing my uncle." It seems that His Majesty the Emperor does not want me and Zhu Laosi to be defeated and captured, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan's actions today are in line with the emperor's true intentions. It turned out that he and Zhu Di were wearing fish scale armor and a cloak made of fine silk, so the injuries after being injured by two arrows were not serious.

In the middle of the night, Ji Gang, a pro-soldier who rolled into a mud monkey outside Jinan, limped back to the Yan army camp. He was shrewd by nature, seeing that his soldiers were killed under the random arrows at the head of the city, he knew that he escaped on foot and had little luck, and after being hit by an arrow in the leg, he simply lay down and pretended to be dead in the mud, and waited until the sky was dark at dusk, and the defenders at the head of the city were unprepared. More than 100 pro-soldiers had to be turned back by Ji Gang, and Zhu Di immediately ordered a heavy reward and ordered the military doctor to treat him.

At dawn on the second day, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, ignored the persuasion of the generals, went out to battle with injuries, and personally led an army of more than 200,000 to come violently, and once again came to the city.

About in the afternoon, looking at the military flag of Jinan City, Zhu Di waved his hand viciously, and in the clamor of the Yan army's large array, hundreds of foot soldiers struggled to push, and more than 100 artillery pieces slowly moved forward, and the dark muzzle pointed to the head of Jinan City. It turned out that after the first battle of Baigou River, all the artillery in Li Jinglong's army was stuck in the mud on the riverbank and could not move, and all of them fell into the hands of the Yan army. Zhu Di almost lost his life under Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan's fraudulent surrender plan, and was determined to use artillery to punish these two treacherous fraudsters and completely destroy the resistance morale of the military and people in Jinan.

At the gate tower of Jinan City, Sheng Yongyao couldn't help frowning when he saw that the Yan army was preparing a lot of artillery. It turned out that a sudden flood made the city all over the country, the city is not much good gunpowder, today under the artillery bombardment of the Yan army, Jinan faced the revenge of Zhu Di, about to usher in the most brutal bloody battle since the war.

Seeing that the Yan army was using such a large number of artillery, Tie Xuan Yao turned his head to look around at the dwellings in the city, and secretly thought to himself: "In order for the people in the city not to be injured by artillery fire, Weichen can't care about His Majesty the Emperor's guilt." After making up his mind, he immediately called Gao Xianning and the others behind him, and whispered a few words.

Sergeant Yan was busy for a while, and finally finished loading the gunpowder and shells.

Zhu Di saw from afar that many defenders and soldiers at the head of Jinan City were hurriedly hanging something on the city wall, and he immediately ordered someone to check it out.

After getting along with Zhu Di for the past few days, Ji Gang knew in his heart who could not lose the morale of his army in front of the two armies, and Zhu Di would look at it differently in his heart, so he immediately endured the pain of the arrow wound and turned over his horse, and galloped forward.

Gao Xianning saw Ji Gang coming from afar, and laughed loudly: "Anti-thief Ji Gang, dare to come to the city?" ”

Ji Gang shouted fiercely in his heart: "Why don't you dare? "Ride your horse to the city gate.

Tie Xuan, who participated in politics, immediately ordered someone to tie down a thing with a rope and handed it over to Ji Gang to bring back, and scolded with a halberd finger: "Tell the anti-thief Zhu Di, Zhu Quan, if they dare to shoot at the head of my Jinan city, they have no father and no king, are disloyal and unfilial, rebel against the court, and poison the wolf ambition of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be shown to the world." ”

Looking at the wooden plaque several feet square in Ji Gang's slightly trembling hands, Zhu Di, Zhu Quan and Dao Yan with a slightly sick face were all stunned and speechless for a long time.

I saw a large white paper book covering the wooden card, a few ink has not yet dried, and the pen is strong, and the Hongwu Emperor is a god and spirit card.

After Mu Ran for a long time, Zhu Di waved his hand with a calm face and shouted: "The army will temporarily return to the camp." ”

At dusk, in the wide tent of the Yan army's camp, Zhu Di, Zhu Quan, and Dao Yan sat silently, and there was silence.

Zhu Quan recalled this unbelievable means used by Tie Xuan, who participated in the politics of Jinan today, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: In the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, for thousands of years, Chinese emperors have governed the country and the people with Confucian principles of loyalty and filial piety. The emperor's generals, the peddlers and pawns are all regarded as the supreme reason, and the thoughts of thousands of years of precipitation are deep in the bone marrow, Zhu Laosi is a decisive decision to kill, and he does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world, and in front of everyone, let the gunners in the army bombard the old man Zhu Lingpai at the head of the city. It is really a thousand troops and horses, and it is difficult to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

As it darkened, the oppressive silence was broken by the rapid sound of horses' hooves. With a burst of footsteps, a thousand households of the Yan army wearing armor and covered in blood rushed into the tent of the handsome, and the Yan army that came to escort the grain and grass to Zhu Di was thirty miles away, and was raided by the cavalry of the Ping'an Department under the command of the Southern Army, and half of the grain and grass were burned. It turned out that Ping'an fled after the defeat of Baigou River, knowing that the Yan army was invincible, so he simply led the cavalry under his command to divide into several routes, and constantly attacked the team that came south to transport grain and grass to Zhu Di's army.

Dao Yan saw that Ji Gang led people to carry the thousand households out, and there were only three people in the handsome tent, so he turned his head and whispered to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, the soldiers are tired and the teachers are old, it is better to return to the army." ”

In his inscription on the martyrdom of Fengtian, he had solemnly stated that he was persecuted by Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and other traitors in the court, and he had no choice but to respect his father's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" in the words of leading the army to appease, if he openly bombarded the city of Jinan, wouldn't he just fall into the trap of Tie Xuan, and confirmed the notoriety of disloyalty and filial piety in front of the people of the whole world? In this way, all the painstaking plans have been put to waste? The next time the two armies fought, would there still be so many defeated court soldiers who would submit to themselves? Zhu Di sighed and thought to himself.

Seeing Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other Yan army generals were ordered to come and stand on both sides. After weighing the weight, Zhu Di slowly stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, the army will pull out the camp and return to Beiping." ”

At dawn on the second day, 200,000 Yan troops left the village after a full meal, and gradually returned north.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. In August of the second year of Jianwen, the 200,000 Yan army under the leadership of Zhu Di and Zhu Quan attacked Jinan several times.

During the listless and slow walk of "dark clouds covering snow", Zhu Quan looked back at the city of Jinan in the distance, and said with a wry smile in his heart: Even though the Yankees' intentions to fight for oil are well known to the world, they must also take the trouble to advocate peace before dropping bombs on the heads of civilians in other countries. Thinking back to the words of his victory and defeat a few days ago because of Wang Mang, I suddenly remembered an allusion in the "Book of Han" of Bangu in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who was powerful in pulling out the mountains and conquering the world, sent people to assassinate the vain Queen Chu Huai, causing the princes and kings to be frightened and dissatisfied. The third elder Dong Gongsha of Xincheng said that Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, said: "Those who hear about Shunde are prosperous, and those who are against virtue die." The soldiers are nameless, and the accident does not happen.

In the imperial study, Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor wearing a dragon robe, couldn't help but paced back and forth after seeing the twists and turns from Jinan, Shandong, looking very excited and happy. Turning his head to look at Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Zhu Yunwen standing in front of the desk, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but say: "I don't want Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong actually defeated Yan with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and rebelled against the city of Jinan, and built this great achievement." ”

Huang Zicheng heard that Li Jinglong was defeated again on the bank of the Baigou River, and his heart was extremely remorseful, and today he learned that Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong repelled Zhu Di's 200,000 army under the city of Jinan, and took advantage of the situation to recover Dezhou. Where did you come to the city of Beiping, the defeat of the king on the bank of the Baigou River? Remorse fell to the ground in his heart, and said: "The criminal minister has no knowledge of people, and recommended Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, as the commander, so that countless soldiers are buried in the battlefield, and your Majesty is asked to treat the criminal minister and Li Jinglong as a serious crime." ”

The young Zhu Yunwen sat down behind the desk, and glanced at a letter from the imperial history of the DPRK, please behead Li Jinglong, Huang Zicheng's recital, and couldn't help frowning, and it was difficult to make a decision in his heart. It turned out that Li Jinglong had been imprisoned after leading his army to return to the south and had been imprisoned after returning to Yingtian, and in the past few days, officials in the DPRK and China have continuously impeached Li Jinglong, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and other three people, demanding that he be punished for serious crimes.

Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan's good news made Zhu Yunwen's heart sweep away the haze in his heart for several days, and his hatred for Li Jinglong and Huang Zicheng was greatly reduced. Thinking that Li Jinglong's father, Li Wenzhong, was not only a hero who followed the emperor's grandfather to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the past, but also the nephew of the emperor's grandfather, and he still had a relationship with himself. And once Li Jinglong asked about the capital crime, the teacher who taught him to read since he was a child, Huang Zicheng, who recommended Li Jinglong, was also guilty of it, and when he thought of this, it was really difficult to make a decision in his heart.
