Chapter 110: Zhu Yuanzhang's brand, Zhu Di's mouth
The southern army all knelt on the ground facing Geng Bingwen, everyone threw away their weapons, and no one rose up to resist when they saw the Yan army slaughtering them.
Tan Yuan himself also strode forward, swinging his knife and slashing two commanders and senior generals at the level of a thousand households along the way, and his heart was very happy.
This will go right in front of the last commander, Jin Rong.
Jin Rong lowered his head and looked at Geng Bingwen, and he didn't look up when he heard the slaughter behind him, and only when Tan Yuan walked behind him did he slowly raise his head, and after glancing at Tan Yuan, his face showed a look of contempt, and then kowtowed heavily to Geng Bingwen's body.
"Mother's." What are you dragging like this, Tan Yuan was furious, and he was about to cut him with a knife.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses and the sound of someone frantically reining in their horses came from behind.
Phew--Phew: "Stop, Tan Yuan, what are you doing?" Then there was a loud shout.
Tan Yuandao turned his head in mid-air, his expression stunned, but it was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, who had arrived.
"They are all the children of the Ming Dynasty, they have already descended, and you are still so cruel?" Zhu Gaoxu was furious: "Stop." ”
Tan Yuan's expression was ashamed and angry, this knife was raised, it was not cut, it was not cut, he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to appear.
When Jin Rong heard this, he slowly raised his head again and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, his expression was extremely complicated.
Zhu Gaoxu quickly jumped off the horse, took three steps and two steps in front of Geng Bingwen, saw Geng Bingwen dead at the scene, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said bitterly: "The old general is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, don't humiliate him." ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding southern troops were moved, and Jin Rong took a deep look at him.
Tan Yuan was very annoyed, you should be a good person, and I will be a wicked person? However, looking at Zhu Gaoxu's tall figure, he also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
In the battle of Zhending, Zhu Gaoxu was mighty, the left wing, the right wing, and the three roads of the Chinese army were all broken by him, and he was already famous for the Yan army.
Jin Rong looked up at Zhu Gaoxu again at this time, and finally showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
"You wait, this king will ask my father, and if you can, let you take the old general back to the city." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Jin Rong looked at Zhu Gaoxu again in disbelief.
There were still dozens of Geng Bingwen's generals and cronies who had not been killed, and everyone stared at Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu turned over and called Zhou Hu again: "Looking at the scene, no one can humiliate the old general." ”
"No."
Zhou Hu carried the axe and said loudly.
Seeing this, Tan Yuan also knew that there was no way to kill any more, so he glared at Jin Rong angrily, turned around and slapped his horse away.
He was brutal by nature, and he went to find other southern soldiers who were easy to kill.
At this time, the battle situation was basically stable, the Yan army won a big victory, and was chasing the southern army that collapsed and fled, and the southern army closed the door first when Geng Bingwen went out of the city, and then the southern army was defeated and opened again, but now I see that the defeated army is too chaotic, and no one is behind the organization, I am afraid that the Yan army will rush in and close the door again.
Many people saw that they couldn't enter the city, so they jumped into the Hutuo River, and the Yan army that caught up shot arrows into the river at will, and the river was immediately full of floating corpses, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Driving, Zhu Gaoxu hurried away and went to find Zhu Di.
When he was on the road, Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, if Tan Yuan put forward such an opinion, King Yan would definitely think, do you want to step on two boats? While currying favor with the court, follow King Yan?
But he is Zhu Gaoxu, the son of King Yan, there is no reason to step on two boats, he only has one way, follow his father to the black.
And in his mind, there was a valid reason, so he had to do it.
There are a lot of southern officers in Zhending City who will be watching, and there are a lot of southern troops around who are watching, so why don't I do it?
What's more, just in case, Zhu Gaoxu is thinking that his arrival will really cause a butterfly effect, make Yan Wang Jing difficult to fail, and change history, maybe, someone will intercede for Lao Tzu?
So Zhu Gaoxu found King Yan and immediately jumped off the horse: "Erchen pays a visit to his father." The expression was very respectful.
King Yan should have just returned from the battlefield, and there were blood stains all over his body immediately, but he was a true son, so it should all be from the Southern Army, and it can be seen that he, like Zhu Gaoxu, likes to charge into battle.
He wiped the blood on his face, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxu, his eyes lit up, and then he said in an almost emotional and excited voice: "Gao Xu, my Gao Xu, hurry up, are you hurt?" ”
King Yan stepped forward quickly, and a pair of big hands were placed on Zhu Gaoxu's arms, and his kind eyes eagerly looked at Zhu Gaoxu's whole body, as if he was afraid that his son would be hurt by something.
But Zhu Gaoxu still sensed that his hand was trembling slightly.
In the battle of Zhending, Zhu Gaoxu, as the vanguard, broke the left flank and right flank of the Southern Army, and the main force of the Chinese army, invincible, invincible, and the King of Yan finally knew Zhu Gaoxu's irreplaceable role in the Yan army.
"Thank you, Father." Zhu Gaoxu got up with a touched face: "Thanks to my father's blessing, there is nothing wrong with my sons." ”
There is no major problem, but there is a small injury, Zhu Gaoxu definitely can't say that he is fine.
And this time, he was the same as King Yan, his whole body was bloody, many pangolin pieces had been broken, and there were broken arrows stuck in some places, and it seemed that he had indeed experienced several fierce battles.
"Okay, good, I'm brave, the first major achievement in this battle, if it weren't for Gao Xu's hard work, we wouldn't have won so easily." King Yan praised Zhu Gaoxu fiercely.
If it were someone else, it would definitely be half dead of excitement, but Zhu Gaoxu knew that he didn't need money or cost to say good things, and what King Yan could say at any time was even more fantastical than now, the two most successful emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's brand, Zhu Di's mouth, these two things of father and son, can't be believed.
"The blood of the sons and the father is thicker than water, the lives of the sons and daughters, everything the sons and daughters are given by the father, what reason is there not to work hard." Zhu Gaochu replied while thinking, how would the original Zhu Gaochu react?
His expression quickly became excited, and he blurted out, "Erchen is no worse than anyone else." ”
This sentence made Yan Wang's expression pause, and then he smiled, this was the Zhu Gaoxu he was familiar with.
He has discussed major matters many times before, and he has never called Zhu Gaoxu, mainly because he feels that Zhu Gaochu is fierce in battle, but he is not good at military affairs, it seems that Gao Xue still remembers it.
King Yan thought for a moment and moved a few steps to the right.
There were many generals and soldiers behind him, deliberately staying away, and Zhu Gaoxu also hurriedly followed a few steps.
The two walked to no one's place, King Yan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were very sincere, and they were extremely bright, and his strong voice was like a father's heart: "Gao Xu is reluctant, the son of the world is not in good health." ”
"Hiss" Zhu Gaoxu took a slight breath of cold air, his eyes were round, he tried hard to make his face red, but he really couldn't get red.
The next moment, his expression became very excited, and the expression in his eyes changed in a thousand ways.
He was indeed a little surprised, because in the original history, these words were not said after the battle of Zhending, and it seems that his performance this time has made King Yan throw this piece of cake in advance.
After King Yan on the other side said this, he had been observing the changes in Zhu Gaoxu's expression, and the kaleidoscopic changes on Zhu Gaoxu's face were deeply seen by him.
"Big --- big brother, it will definitely get better." Zhu Gaoxu stammered: "Father, rest assured, sons---sons and sons--- are willing to ,--- for their father----- sweep everything--- Fengtian is difficult--- if it is not successful, it will become benevolent--"
He spoke a little incoherently, and his eyes were bright, but King Yan was very satisfied, very satisfied.
King Yan smiled knowingly, and patted him on the shoulder again: "Do a good job, Gao Xu." ”
"Report--" At this time, a sentry rode in the distance to report, and King Yan turned around and prepared to leave.
"Father, sons and daughters have something to ask for." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said.
King Yan listened intently.
Zhu Gaoxu said that Geng Bingwen had been killed in battle, and said that he wanted people to send his body back? He also said that when the Southern Army Zhendingcheng saw Geng Bingwen's corpse, its morale must have been greatly damaged, and maybe Zhendingcheng could go down without a fight.
Zhu Gaoxu said, lowered his head, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
King Yan frowned slightly, and quickly thought of the reason.
When Zhu Gaoxu was studying in the capital, his family wanted to rub with Geng Bingwen's niece Geng Rou.
Geng Rou is the youngest granddaughter of Geng Bingwen's father, Geng Junyong's younger brother, Geng Biao.
Geng Junyong and Geng Biao both died with Taizu in battle, and Geng Biao only left a granddaughter, Geng Rou, who lived in Geng Bingwen's house.
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to pursue Geng Rou when he was in the capital, but Geng Rou couldn't look down on him.
It seems that Gao Xu still misses Geng Rou?
King Yan laughed: "Geng Bingwen is also a veteran of a generation, don't humiliate him, just send him back." ”
The son has made great contributions, and King Yan still agrees to this request.
And it's really not easy to keep Geng Bingwen's body, you have to let King Yan bury him well, and you are unwilling, if you don't bury it, people in the world want to say that he King Yan has no morality to insult the dead, Zhu Gaoxu's request just helped him solve this trouble.
Zhu Gaoxu got the approval of King Yan and immediately returned to the outside of the city.
"This general, you choose one person and send the old general back, and the rest have to stay, but now the overall situation is undecided, wait a minute."
Jin Rong hurriedly got up, walked in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and said in a low voice: "Originally, the last general should have kowtowed to thank the old general, but now there are people all around, and the last general Jin Rong thank King Gaoyang, thank you, thank you." ”
He said thank you and mentioned his name.
Listening to his words, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Jin Rong very meaningfully, this Jin Rong is very smart.
Jin Rong said that, he designated a hundred households, and the two took turns to carry Geng Bingwen and prepare to return to the city.
Jin Rong also understood what he said just now, he should have knelt down and kowtowed, but there were too many Yan soldiers at the scene, he didn't want other Yan soldiers to misunderstand Zhu Gaoxu, and I would keep it in my heart.
Zhu Gaoxu was very satisfied with his statement and nodded to him.
On the same day, the Yan army won a great victory outside the city, and the southern army was defeated, especially in the process of defeat and retreat at the last moment, it was killed by the Yan army in large numbers, more than 30,000 people were killed before and after, and another 10,000 or 20,000 people jumped into the river, life and death are unknown, about 10,000 people surrendered and were captured, and the Yan army got more than 10,000 war horses.
After the war, more than 50,000 southern troops were crowded into Zhending City, and it was overcrowded.
