Chapter 73: King Yan's Heart

Tan Yuan's expression was slightly excited after he walked out of the gate, judging from the recent movements of King Yan, it seemed that he was a little wary of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County.

On the same day, Zhu Gaoxu played a brave role in the first battle of Jizhou, and all the soldiers he led were in the tiger.

At that time, Qiu Fu praised the king of Gaoyang County for his bravery, and Tan Yuan was quietly looking at King Yan, King Yan was expressionless and couldn't see his joy or anger, but with Tan Yuan's understanding of him, usually King Yan was expressionless, which was to cover up his mood.

Sure enough, King Yan quickly gave Zhu Gaoxu a heavy task and asked him to take the veteran Xu Xiang to attack the strong pass and Juyong Pass, but Zhu Gaochu was really easy to defeat.

Then, after King Yan won the battle of Huailai, he immediately transferred Zhu Gaoxu to Yongping to recruit troops and supervise the salt works.

Obviously, King Yan is not too willing to have a son who is too powerful and powerful.

People outside say that King Yan likes Zhu Gaoxu and doesn't like the prince, but Tan Yuan seems that people like King Yan, whether they like it or not, will only put it in their hearts, and how can they put it in their mouths.

If King Yan's mind can be guessed casually, he is not King Yan.

Tan Yuan thought about it like this, and his heart became even more determined to stand closely by the side of the son.

After a while, Xue Liu was called to King Yan's side.

Xue Liu has a good figure and elegant appearance, after all, he is a literate soldier, and he looks like he has a different temperament.

King Yan liked it at first sight.

"Xue Liu is the general flag now?"

"Back to the king, it's the general flag." Xue Liu hurriedly clenched his fists.

"Okay, this matter is done, and you will be promoted to 100 households." Zhu Di said with a smile.

"Thank you, the king, and I am willing to die for the king."

"There's no need to die, keep a useful body, and fight the world for me." Zhu Di laughed.

After Zhu Di made some arrangements, he took Xue Liu to a room.

In the room was a captured officer and soldier sentry.

After Xue Liu and Zhu Di entered, Xue Liu immediately said sharply: "I haven't come to see His Royal Highness King Yan yet." ”

Unexpectedly, the official army sentry looked at them coldly, and said in a deep voice: "The little one persuades His Highness to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise when the officers and soldiers arrive, they will regret it too late." ”

"Hahaha, well, I didn't expect you to be afraid of death." A trace of anger flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, even a small officer and soldier dared to look down on this king?

"Look for death." Xue Liuzheng drew his sword, and when he went up, he was about to behead this official and soldier with one sword.

"Stop, I'll fix him later." Zhu Di stopped Xue Liu: "Send someone to watch carefully, in the early hours of tomorrow morning, gather the whole army, and in front of the whole army, put him to death." ”

The faces of the officers and men changed slightly, but they did not beg for mercy and sat quietly.

The two left the room and turned to the next room.

It turned out that there was another sentry next door to this officer's army.

But this row of houses is an old and dilapidated house, with a link in the beam, so that both sides can be heard.

The sentry hurried against the wall.

The same goes for the opposite.

"Don't come to meet --- yet" Before Xue Liu finished speaking, another sentry was already frightened and quickly knelt down: "Little one to meet His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"I beg His Royal Highness King Yan to spare my life."

This sentry had just heard that Ling Chi was going to be executed next door, and his soul was already frightened.

"Do you really want to live?" Xue Liu said in a deep voice.

"The little one wants to live, beg His Highness, beg the general to spare his life."

"Well, if you can do one thing for the king, we can spare your life." When Xue Liu spoke, Zhu Di was watching from the side.

He found that Xue Liu's expression was calm, obviously just a general flag, but the momentum of the performance commander.

Gao Xu's vision is good, this Xue Liu does have the style of a general, Zhu Di secretly praised.

At this time, Xue Liu took out the letter written by King Yan to Bu Wan, and then untied the sentry and sewed the letter into his clothes.

And he gave him ten denarii.

"Bu Wan and I have an old relationship, you have a good deal about this matter, and I promise you that the official will be promoted to the third level."

"Thank you Your Highness for not killing, and the little one is willing to serve His Highness." The sentry thanked him and nodded his head again and again.

Their words were clearly heard by the sentry next door, who was shocked and angry, and could not help scolding his companion for being cowardly and afraid of death.

At this time, Xue Men next door said: "After dark, I will let the guards at the door leave for a while, you see the opportunity, leave from the north, there is a wasteland over there, it is a gap." ”

"The little one understands."

Yan Wang and Xue Liu left after acting.

When the sentry next door heard the news, he felt that if he didn't run away tonight, he would really be executed by Ling Chi tomorrow.

He struggled in the room, and strange to say, after a while, he slowly broke the rope apart.

He was ecstatic to untie himself.

Then I looked around the room and found that I could climb from the beam to the next door by moving the table to the wall and through the window.

He waited quietly.

After dark, the surrendered sentry easily opened the gate and slipped out.

The other sentry also hurried to the table, stepped on the window, climbed over the beam, jumped next door, and escaped through the door.

The two escaped from the Yan army's territory one after the other, and naturally did not meet a single Yan army along the way.

The anxious whistleblower in the back almost non-stop, running crazy overnight.

Before the sentry in front, return to the official camp.

As soon as he returned to the camp, he immediately reported to Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen didn't believe it at first, but he immediately sent people to guard the camp.

When the other sentry returned to the camp, he grabbed it directly, and took out the silver and letters from his clothes.

Liu Zhen was shocked and called Chen Heng overnight.

The two read the letter together.

In the letter, King Yan praised Bu Wan's talent, and criticized Liu Zhen, Chen Heng and others for being old and mediocre, and they still wanted to occupy the position of governor.

If Bu Wan can lead an army of 100,000 to surrender, his status will definitely far surpass Liu Zhen and them.

In fact, what Yan Wang said is right, Liu Zhenzhen's ability is average, far inferior to Chen Heng and Bu Wan.

In history, Liu Zhen came out of the mountain relatively early, and he was the first batch of old subordinates to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Lao Zhu's battle to fight the world, Liu Zhen has almost no shadow, and he has not made any contributions, he completely belongs to the role of playing soy sauce, but there is no way, the boss is good, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he successively served as the commander of Gansu Wei and the commander of Shaanxi.

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, he led the guards in the palace of King Ning as the governor of the capital, and then he has been conquering the savages in the north.

In June of the 28th year of Hongwu, Liu Zhen crossed the Songhua River with soldiers and horses as far as possible, but he continued to fight in the air, and then chased to the old city of Fudami, but still did not catch up.

His ability to lead troops could be seen at that time, and the history called "exhaustion and ineffectiveness".

If a person's ability to lead troops is not good, usually his IQ and EQ will not be high.

Chen Heng is much stronger than him.

Chen Heng was born very early like him, and the first batch of old brothers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang went north with Xu Da back then, "Defending Dongchang, tens of thousands of enemies are dying, Heng is stubborn, and he is defeated by surprise." Returning to the cities before descending. ”

Chen Heng can stand alone, and he has a good record.

So people like Chen Heng are, of course, also smart people.

As soon as he saw this letter, Chen Heng knew that King Yan was using a divisive strategy.

The sentry also said that King Yan and Bu Wan had a good relationship, not a bad fart.

Chen Heng knew that King Yan had never seen Bu Wan, and the two had never intersected, otherwise the imperial court would transfer Bu Wan to Daning to guard against King Yan?

At this time, if Chen Heng said more, Yan Wang Zhu Di's divisive plan would definitely fail.

But why does Chen Heng have to talk more?

He was already thinking about how to vote for King Yan, such a good opportunity didn't have to be in vain.

Chen Heng immediately suggested that he first trick Bu Wan into the camp, then arrest him, and then play the imperial court, wait for the will of the imperial court, and at the same time encourage Liu Zhen, saying, General Liu, you can control the military power and control the 100,000 army.

Liu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and decisively agreed with Chen Heng's method.

The two first sent someone to trick Bu Wan into Liu Zhen's camp, then arrested him on the spot, then locked up Bu Wan, and sent the whistle rider to send the report to the Jingshi together with the letter written by King Yan to Bu Wan.

This time, the sentry rode all the way to the wind, and the horse whipped quickly, and it took a few days to reach the Beijing Division.

-------

End of July.

At the same time that the sentinel cavalry sent the evidence to the Beijing Division, the 'Letter to the Generals and the Military and the People' of the King of Yan also spread from Beiping to the capital.

After Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen saw it, he was furious.

"Emperor Gao, Emperor Taizu, and built the princes, the country of the feudal screen.

There was a disease in the imperial examination, and the sons did not know about it at the beginning. On the 10th day of the fifth month of the leap month, it collapsed, and on the 11th, it was closed, and it was buried on the seventh day, and the obituary of the kings began to be reported after the month---

The original text was written by Guo Zi and was later recorded in history.

Look at the last paragraph translated:

"But now the young master (Zhu Yunwen) is deceived by the traitorous ministers, I'm afraid he won't agree. Therefore, the only way to take you and others is to take you to the evil side of the Qing monarch, to help the country to collapse, to stabilize the society to the dying, to respectfully visit the palace, to pay homage to the mausoleum, and then retreat to the old domain, in order to show my loyalty and filial piety. ”

The ancients were famous for their wars, and King Yan's book on the military and civilian affairs was also very interesting.

Especially the last few words, once I succeeded, I will return to my hometown and continue to be my vassal king to show my loyalty and filial piety.

This has to be put in modern society, Zhu Di's words are simply SB in the world, insulting the IQ of people in the world, and netizens can spray his bloody head.

But the ancients ate this set, and it quickly spread from top to bottom of the Jingshi, and the people were also talking about it.

Many people really feel that Zhu Di is a little aggrieved.

After the 'Letter to the Generals and the Civilians' arrived in Beijing, the ministers of Beijing also felt the seriousness of the matter.

Zhu Di is fanning the world to rebel, and he must refute him from the standpoint of reason and justice.

July 30, Wuying Palace.

The young emperor sat on the throne with a frown.

As soon as Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru came in, they saw Zhu Yunwen frowning, and everyone rarely saw Zhu Yunwen frowning.

Even when Yan rebelled and raised the army, Zhu Yunwen did not have such an expression.

Huang Zicheng arrived before them today, sitting on the left side of the emperor, his expression could not show joy and anger, but Qi Tai was angry when he saw it.

If it weren't for Huang Zicheng's mistake, how could it have been so erosive.

The two met the emperor and sat down separately.

Qi Tai waited for a while, and found that no one came in again, and the emperor did not speak, as if thinking about something.

"Holy Lord, please play." Qi Tai couldn't help but speak first.

"Qi Shangshu wait a minute." The Emperor said softly.

Qi Tai sighed secretly.

He originally wanted to ask the emperor to invite a few more people to come in to discuss the matter, and he couldn't keep letting these people talk.

Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru can't fight, so they have to let someone like Xu Huizu who is proficient in military affairs participate.

But Zhu Yunwen didn't seem to want to.

There was silence in the main hall for a moment, and the huge Wuying Hall was a little weird.
