Chapter 59: Swagger and Stupidity (Asking for Recommendation Votes, Collection, Investment)
After the meeting, the generals of the various ministries left one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu was told to stay.
Xu Xiang seemed to have something to say to him, so Zhu Gaoxu said, "You wait for me outside the palace." ”
"No." Xu Xiang walked away quickly.
He looked up at King Yan again, and Zhu Di was turning around and entering the inner hall at this time.
Zhu Gaoxu strode to follow, lifted the curtain, and there was only Zhu Di in the inner hall.
Of course, Zhu Di heard the news, Zhu Gaoxu robbed a lot of money, he wanted to ask his son for the point, but he felt embarrassed to speak.
But he does need a lot of money now, and it's hard to say whether this rumor is true or not.
"Father, my son is reporting to my father." Zhu Gaoxu said as soon as he entered.
"Gao Xu, you say." Zhu Di immediately said.
"The day before yesterday, Erchen took advantage of the chaos and robbed some copper coins from the Baoquan Bureau."
“。。” Zhu Di thought to himself, the money of the Baoquan Bureau is all mine, your mother, you actually robbed Lao Tzu's money.
"Erchen has recruited some men and horses, and they need a lot of money."
"There is also Zhang Xin who was promised by his son at that time, Zhang Xin has made great contributions to his father, and at least he must give him a lot of money."
"In addition, the sons also know that it is the time for my father to use the money, so he has prepared 50,000 yuan, and he will send someone to the palace later."
Zhu Gaochu knew that King Yan was very thick-skinned, if he didn't simply refuse, King Yan would definitely ask for money, and once he opened his mouth, it would be difficult for him to refuse, so Zhu Gaochu spoke directly first, and I will give you 50,000 yuan.
Zhu Gaoxu looked flattering, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, still rarely saw it.
However, he felt very satisfied, and this would make Yan King Zhu Di definitely not think of what Zhu Gaoxu would do in the future, it is normal to grab money and food in chaos, if Zhu Gaochu doesn't rob it, Yan Wang will go and grab it all.
"One hundred thousand." King Yan said quietly: "Gao Xu, you also saw it just now, and I rewarded my brothers with a lot of money. ”
King Yan is really welcome.
"The retainers obeyed." Zhu Gaoxu immediately said.
The father and son looked up and smiled at each other.
"Okay." Zhu Di got up and patted his son's shoulder heavily: "Gao Xu has grown up, I am very pleased." ”
"We father and son work together, and in the future we will tell the world that what we want will definitely be brought by our own strength."
Hiss, Zhu Gaoxu's face instantly turned red, his face was full of excitement, and then his eyes began to redden, and then nodded desperately: "Father, the son will definitely work hard." ”
Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that Zhu Di would already start painting pies.
He was obviously fooling Zhu Gaoxu to help him desperately.
Say what you want, and work on it.
Didn't he know what Zhu Gaoxu wanted?
Zhu Gaoxu saw that King Yan was happy, and asked for some official positions for his subordinate generals, of course King Yan responded one by one, anyway, the officials in Beiping had the final say.
Watching Zhu Gaoxu leave excitedly, Zhu Di had a charming smile on his face.
Zhu Gaoxu came out of the palace and found that there was a wave of people waiting for him outside.
Xu Xiang has 100 households Zhang Jie by his side, and several people Xu Xiang has introduced to him, 100 households Wang You, 100 households Zheng Xing, etc., are all middle and lower-level officers like Baihu and Zongqi, a total of eight.
They are also Xu Xiang's people, and Xu Xiang decided to join Zhu Gaoxu, so he took everyone to take refuge together.
Zhu Gaoxu happily pulled everyone's arms: "Brothers, it's like a tiger with wings." ”
He thought for a moment and said loudly, "Go." ”
took them to a restaurant in Beiping.
Xu Xiang was a little worried, and asked Zhu Gaoxu in private: "Your Highness, will we be too ostentatious like this?" "It seems like something is a little jealous.
Zhu Gaoxu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said earnestly: "For smart people, the more ostentatious we are, the more reassuring they are." ”
Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Wu secretly reported to Zhu Di, and the king of Gaoyang County took a wave of new generals to eat and drink in the restaurant at noon.
The secret report is obviously alluding to Zhu Gaoxu's friendship with the generals.
Zhu Di smiled but didn't say anything, and didn't pay attention to it at all.
---
On the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, issued a letter of "Letter to the Generals and the Military and the People", claiming that Fengtian was martyred.
On the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh month, about one o'clock in the future, King Yan left 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and more than 10,000 people braved the scorching sun to go out of the city.
Zhu Gaoxu's position is temporarily the deputy general of the Chinese Army's Ma Army, following Qiu Fu's Chinese troops.
He himself had more than 400 people with horses, plus about 1,000 horses on Qiu Fu's side, adding up to almost exactly 2,000 horses.
Another more than 400 infantry temporarily led by Sheng Jian, Zhang Jie, Wang You, Zheng Xing and others, Xu Xiang as the commander, followed in the infantry array.
The army left Beiping and headed northeast, aiming at Jizhou.
The Chinese army was at the forefront, and Qiu Fu was riding a horse with Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a suit of armor, his face was red, and he knew that he had drunk wine at a glance.
Drinking alcohol before the war, this is a big taboo.
Qiu Fu couldn't help but say, "King Gaoyang, did you drink again at noon today?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said proudly: "Recently, I have been in a good mood, and many brothers have taken refuge in this king, so of course this king wants to invite them to drink." ”
"Don't worry, General Qiu, this king knows in his heart, he hasn't drunk much, and he won't make a mistake."
"When this battle is won, I will have a big drink with you." Qiu Fu smiled.
"When it is."
The two chatted while walking, Qiu Fu and Zhu Gaoxu talked very much, and reminded Zhu Gaoxu many times in the middle that he would come to Yanwang's Mansion more often when he was free, and also, don't be so ostentatious and high-profile, if you are too ostentatious, it will make others think that King Gaoyang is stupid.
He really respects Zhu Gaoxu's bravery, so he would say such unpleasant words to his face.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Who dares to say that this king is stupid, let him try my horse lance?" "Let's just pat the horse lance on the back of the horse.
He thought to himself, "It's better if all my enemies think I'm stupid."
In less than eight minutes, the army came to the city of Jizhou.
Guarding Jizhou is the guard commander Ma Xuan, Ma Xuan began to obey Xie Gui's dispatch, with part of the Jizhou guard soldiers and horses into Beiping City, and then Beiping City changed, Ma Xuan's two gates were broken one after another, he was also considered to run fast, with hundreds of remnants of soldiers fled to Jizhou, along the way also collected some of the remnants of the officers and soldiers who withdrew from Beiping City, plus some of the soldiers and horses he was originally stationed in Jizhou, so there are four or five thousand soldiers and horses in hand, which is relatively strong.
After he arrived in Jizhou, like Yu Yao, he first rectified and collected the soldiers and horses, and at the same time sent fast horses to report to Song Zhong.
Zhu Di originally didn't want to fight Jizhou first, but Zhang Yu said a sentence, "Jizhou is connected to Daning, there are many knights, and I don't want to worry about it." ”
On the surface, there are more cavalry on Jizhou's side, and Ma Xuan can escape back, which is the reason for all the cavalry, King Yan is now very short of war horses, and if he can break through Jizhou, he can get a large number of war horses.
In fact, Zhang Yu also has a layer of meaning, outside Jizhou is the territory of King Ning, King Ning is known as 80,000 armor, 6,000 leather cars, and the cavalry of the three guards of Duoyan is very brave, in case King Ning's soldiers and horses suddenly go south, it is the enemy on the back of the abdomen, so it is necessary to occupy Jizhou first, and then you can block the direction of Daning.
At this time, the gate of Jizhou was closed, and Ma Xuan was standing at the head of the city to watch the Yan army, and the Yan army had more than 10,000 people, surrounded by groups and groups to surround their small Jizhou.
