Chapter 66: The Quartet Comes to Invest (At least 5 Shifts Today)
Zhu Gaoxu took Zhou Hu, Wang Bin, Wei Da and others to the front.
The one kneeling in the first one was actually a teenager, who looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was already a general banner.
His face was a little immature, after all, he was still a high school student in later life.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu never thought that he would be a high school student in his later life.
"What's your name?" Zhu Gaoxu asked the boy.
The boy turned his head to look at him: "Tui", and spat into the river.
"Ni Niang's." Wang Bin was furious, pinched the back of the young man's neck with his left hand and pressed it to the river, raised the knife with his right hand, and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, as long as Zhu Gaoxu gave him a look, he immediately cut it down.
Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to signal him not to rush, and then squatted down.
He squatted beside the young man and said in a slow whisper: "If a person is not even afraid of death, I don't think there is any difficulty that can stump him." ”
"Death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are as light as a feather."
"The two lieutenants are fighting, there is no need for you villagers to sacrifice in vain, you die here, without a name or surname, and future generations will not remember you."
The young man's face was expressionless, and he didn't know if he understood, but the face of the other deputy Qianhu kneeling next to the young man moved slightly.
"To descend or not to fall? Do you want to do it with King Yan? Wang Bin asked again.
The boy looked coldly at the river.
"." Wang Bin raised his knife to cut.
"Give it to me." Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to stop him, Wang Bin was stunned, and handed the knife to Zhu Gaoxu.
"Brother, don't be a soldier in the next life." Zhu Gaochu thought silently in his heart, but he shouted loudly: "If you don't surrender, die, it's Zhu Gaochu who killed you, remember my name." After saying that, he stabbed the boy in the back, bang, and kicked him into the river.
Zhu Gaoxu came to the second kneeling man with a knife.
"The last general is willing to surrender, and he is willing to follow King Yan." This Qianhu said loudly.
"Very well, what's your name?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
"The last general, Yang Yun."
Zhu Gaoxu patted him on the shoulder and pulled him aside.
Then he asked.
He asked one by one, but most of the people on the scene still refused to surrender, especially those civil officials, who seemed to be polite, but they refused to surrender.
Think about it, some of those civil officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death have already run away before the Yan army came.
Zhu Gaoxu pulled them up, stabbed them in the back, and kicked them into the river.
In the end, there were eight people who were willing to surrender, probably moved by Zhu Gaoxu's words.
Chen Wen waited for him to take care of more than 100 people, and it was a long time later, Zhu Gaoxu's knife was stabbed and replaced with a third knife.
He quietly walked up, followed by Zhu Gaoxu, who was tired and panting, and suddenly whispered: "These people may not all die, if they can survive, they should thank His Highness for sparing their lives." ”
Then he wanted to stop talking, probably thinking that Zhu Gaoxu was too merciful, on the battlefield, it is you to live or die, why do you need the kindness of a woman, and if this matter is known by King Yan, I don't know what he will think.
Zhu Gaoxu was silent, thinking, maybe they will hate me even more, because I stabbed them, but he still chose to do it, because, if there are really people who are lucky enough to survive, they will be friends or enemies in the future, and it is uncertain.
Walking to no one's place, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the river in the distance: "Last time, my father actually wooed you, if you refused, wouldn't it be a pity, my father will remember you." Zhu Gaoxu actually wanted to say that he was actually stingy and would hold a grudge.
Zhu Gaoxu thinks that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has a very small heart, and he will repay all the generals of the Southern Army who have caused him trouble in the history of Jingjing, and they are the last to be cleared out, and none of them are let go, and they die worse than the other, not to mention the civil officials who refuse to surrender.
Chen Wen said in a deep voice: "Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, not to mention that His Royal Highness also saved my father's life." ”
"Without His Highness, Chen Wen is still a robber in the ravine--" Speaking of this, Chen Wen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly lowered his voice
"In this world, if King Yan can sit, why can't His Highness sit?"
"Bastard." Zhu Gaoxu's face sank, he was shocked and angry, and reprimanded: "Father's big matter is imminent, we should be united, I can treat what you said today as if I didn't hear it, if you talk nonsense in the future, this king will treat you as a sow of discord, and you will never be polite." ”
"The last general will know that he is wrong." Chen Wen immediately bowed his head and said, but the expression on his face was disapproving, what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to do, as a person around him, he could always guess something.
In the first battle of Huailai, King Yan won a complete victory, and the prestige of the Yan army became more prestigious, and the nearby Kaiping, Longmen, Shanggu, Yunzhong, and Yongping surrendered one after another.
Because it was too close to Huailai, on the 24th, Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, escaped from the fiefdom of Xuanfu and went straight to Beijing.
Song Zhongbu retreated to Datong with Chen Zhen's collapsed troops, and the acting king wanted to echo King Yan, but was controlled by Chen Zhen.
In this wave of surrender, many of the nobles of the Chengzu era appeared at this time.
Yongping, Huizhou guards Guo Liang and Zhao Yi and Chen Xu all fought with King Yan, Zhao Yi was the right guard of Yanshan Baihu, the three of them surrendered as soon as possible, dedicated Yongping and Huizhou.
Yongping is a very important place, and it is blocked behind the fart drum of Shanhaiguan.
In Shanhaiguan, the brother-in-law of Emperor Jianwen and the son of Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, Geng Pingwen was stationed, in order to prevent Geng Zhen from attacking, King Yan sent his henchman Wang Zhen to cooperate with Guo Liang to defend Yongping and block Geng Ping.
In addition, Xu Zhong, the general of Kaiping, and Li Bin, the general of Xuanfu, came to vote.
Among these people, Xu Zhong and Li Bin are all talented generals, they have been fighting with the Mongols all year round, and their subordinates are extremely elite, and Xu Zhong's soldiers and horses are even more invincible.
King Yan was ecstatic afterwards, and privately praised that among the generals who could lead the army to fight on one side, there were only a few Xu Zhong and Li Bin.
It can be seen that King Yan is still a bit of a comparison, several of his close confidants, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Huo Zhen, and Tan Yuan are all fierce generals, and they don't want to die when they fight, and they can charge into battle.
But it is not possible to lead an army out to fight alone.
It turns out that these people have poor results if they lead alone.
Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu later died in battle, and Zhu Neng did not lead the army to fight a hard battle alone.
Therefore, in the early and middle periods of Jingjing, Xu Zhong, Li Bin, Li Yuan and other generals made many contributions, either defending one side alone or leading an army alone.
But he couldn't stand the roots of others, and when he was finally rewarded, he was far inferior to Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu.
Therefore, you have to be at the forefront of everything, even if it is a rebellion, you have to follow it as soon as possible, the icing on the cake is definitely not as good as sending carbon in the snow.
After these generals surrendered, there were no officers and troops around Beiping except for the soldiers and horses of the Daning Xingdu Division and the people of Shanhaiguan.
The local civil officials either surrendered or fled, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, also became rich in an instant, and became a wide range of soldiers.
The history books of later generations focused on Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and several other henchmen, but they did not know that Zhu Di would have gathered all the famous generals in the north of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
Like Li Bin, Xu Zhong, Guo Liang, and Li Yuan, who later surrendered, and other generals had the ability to command troops, they were not under Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Qu Neng, or even Xu Huizu of the Southern Army.
It's just that at that time, they were either not Zhu Di's henchmen, or they had low official positions, so they didn't leave much heavy ink in the Battle of Jingjing.
