One day in mid-September, King Yan was still leading his troops and did not return.

Qu Neng took his son Qu Yu out early in the morning.

He, Pan Zhong, Yang Song, Xu Kai and others were all defeated and captured by King Yan.

Pan Zhong and Yang Song did not appear in the history of the Ming Dynasty after that, Xu Kai was sent by King Yan to garrison a city, and then disappeared in history.

Qu Neng began to follow King Yan in the camp, although he did not lead the troops, but he gave advice, but Zhu Gaoxu protested several times, and after King Yan was defeated in Dongchang, he did not bring Qu Neng again.

He and Pan Zhong, the Ming generals who were captured and surrendered, were imprisoned in Beiping, but they could move freely in Beiping City, but every time they went out, someone would follow them not far behind them, and they would definitely not be able to get out of the city gate.

These people are still a little free, in the early stage of Jingnan, they were caught more than 1,000 households, either follow Yan Wang, or beheaded, and in the middle and late stages, more than 1,000 households were arrested and directly locked in prison, and after Jingnan was successful, some were killed and some were released.

Therefore, Qu Neng's father and son are still a little free now, and King Yan has revealed in front of him more than once or twice that he will send him out to lead the troops in the future.

But King Yan also secretly reminded him not to worry about King Gaoyang, and now he is all his own person.

But Qu Neng thought to himself, aren't you deceiving yourself, my son was 'killed' by Zhu Gaoxu, can this matter be counted like this?

But through this incident, Qu Neng suddenly thought of one thing, that is, King Yan and his second son Zhu Gaoxu were not so harmonious on the surface.

Zhu Gaoxu captured his eldest son alive, but did not tell King Yan.

King Yan knew that his eldest son was killed by Zhu Gaoxu, and he had to reuse himself.

Sure enough, it is the master of high merit, Qu Neng thinks that Zhu Gaoxu has won all battles, and King Yan may be afraid that he will be Li Er in the future, so he should be on guard.

This father and son are not things, but Zhu Gaoxu is obviously more terrifying.

Qu Neng thought silently as he went out.

Qu Neng and his father and son go out for a stroll every day, and most of them go to the same place, which is Sihai Teahouse.

This teahouse is similar to the teahouse that Huang Yan and Zhu Gaosui have been to, there are storytellers who are telling stories every day, and they basically talk about the war between the Yan army and the southern army, of course, this ancient news is usually much slower than the time it happened, Qu Neng once heard the news of the Yan army's Zhending war, which was almost two years ago.

But the common people listened to it with relish, and they were full of energy.

Qu Neng didn't expect to hear anything, and he didn't believe that this kind of folk teahouse would have the latest war situation and news.

He went to the teahouse, just to meet acquaintances and talk about his heart, otherwise he would be locked up at home all day and have nothing to do.

Among the generals who were arrested and surrendered with him, Pan Zhong and Yang Song had time to come over, but Xu Kai never came, Qu Neng also came to the door to see him once, Xu Kai had a general attitude, and seemed to not want to be thought by King Yan that they were forming a party, and then Qu Neng stopped looking for Xu Kai.

Today, the two fathers and sons came to the old private room, Pan Zhong and Yang Song had already arrived early, and they also helped them prepare herbal tea.

"General Qu, come on, come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time, hahaha." Pan Zhong laughed.

"It's hot this day, I have to ask King Yan for two horses, it's too hot to come over." Qu Neng also smiled.

They can't always meet and gather at home, which is really easy to be accused of forming a party in private, so Qu Neng chose to be in a public teahouse, although it is also a private room, but the outside can still hear the inside talking, and the privacy cannot be compared with the home.

"It's hard to get a horse, I'm not afraid we'll run away." Yang Song looked left and right and whispered.

Everyone looked stunned, and they didn't dare to say much about this topic.

But Qu Neng immediately said: "When we first surrendered, King Yan had already summoned the world, saying that we were willing to surrender to King Yan and follow King Yan, and it would be a capital crime to go back now." ”

A few people think about it, and now the court treats them as traitors, and they can only go all the way to the dark.

You look at Gu Cheng, after surrendering, help King Yan try his best to defend Beiping, doesn't he want to rebel back? It's useless to rebel back, I guess I'll have to die.

A few people were also interested, and they stopped talking about it, and bragged indiscriminately, mainly to assess the war between the two sides.

Among the three, Qu Neng is sure to have the highest level, and Yang Song and Pan Zhong like to listen to him brag.

Moreover, when the prince's mansion is deliberating, Qu Neng is often called over, and the prince is also very polite to him, so Qu Neng can hear the latest battle report, which is also what Pan Zhong and Yang Song are most concerned about, otherwise on a hot day, who will come over to drink herbal tea with him every day.

Sure enough, Qu Nengdao, in the battle of Jiahe, the southern army was defeated again, King Yan first defeated Sheng Yong, and then defeated Wu Jie and Ping'an, and the southern army suffered heavy losses and had entered the stage of mutual support.

Yang Song and the two were stunned for a while, and then looked at each other, not knowing whether to be happy or unhappy for the early surrender.

Qu Neng also mentioned that every time the Yan army fell to the downwind, it encountered a violent wind and a demonic wind, and the southern army was defeated.

He himself had personally experienced the battle of Baigou River at the beginning, and now when it came to this, Yang Song and Pan Zhong were chilled and couldn't believe it.

It's just a demon wind to say once, it may be a miracle and luck, but three demon winds in a row, this is not destiny?

Now King Yan is in Beiping City to publicize these three demon winds, and it will not take long for the teahouses to talk about it, and it will be passed on to ten or hundred, and soon everyone in the world will know that King Yan is destined to return.

The ancients ate this set, so when Yang Song and Pan Zhong heard this kind of thing, they sighed one after another: "It seems that King Yan really has the destiny of heaven." ”

It was also the right choice for us to surrender.

Yang Song asked again, judging from General Qu, how long will it take for the Yan army to win?

Qu Neng frowned, this is not easy to say, in fact, in his heart, he would not think that Yan Jun could win.

Although the Yan army has won many battles, the imperial court has a steady stream of resources and soldiers.

Now the imperial court is also dragging its feet, and it has begun to attack the east and west, changing the previous tactics of winning and losing through the army in one fell swoop.

Sheng Yong attacked Baoding and Yongping successively, and King Yan is now struggling to cope outside.

Let the imperial court relax and gather another 500,000 troops, and it will be commanded by Sheng Yong, it is difficult to say whether the outcome will be won or lost.

But he is now on the side of King Yan, of course, he said: "The imperial court has lost soldiers and generals one after another, and the soldiers and horses are getting fewer and fewer, if we can't gather more support as soon as possible, the Yan army will become stronger and stronger, and I estimate that within a year or two, the winner will be divided." ”

Qu Neng didn't say a word, in the past two years, either the court defeats the Yan army, or the Yan army defeats the court, and the winner must be divided.

In particular, if the Yan army could not win in one or two years, it would not be able to support the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yan army to fight year after year with only the lands of Baoding, Yongping, and Beiping.

I have to say that in Qu Neng's sentence, the key point of Zhongyan Army is still relatively high.

In the battle of Baigou River, he almost caught King Yan, if it weren't for the demon wind, the southern army would have won directly, and he would not have been killed by Zhu Gaoxu in the original history.

The four of them drank herbal tea all morning, filled their stomachs half-full, and only got up to find a restaurant to eat when it was close to noon.

King Yan gave the captured high-ranking generals, like them, all good food and drink, and returned silver.

So the four of them had nothing to do, so they could only drink tea every day, listen to stories, and then go to dinner.

But Qu Neng's father and son didn't come out in the afternoon, so they practiced martial arts at home and kept in shape, because he had a hunch that he would lead the troops in the future.

Not long after the four of them walked out of the teahouse, they were heading to a certain restaurant, when suddenly in the distance, a horse team galloped in.

The other party rode unfast, and the pedestrians were not surprised, and they avoided the side one after another.

The four of them also hurried inside.

At this moment, the leader gave a soft shout, and the horse team slowed down one after another, and stopped directly in front of the four people.

Qu Neng and the others looked up, and their faces changed greatly.

"Meet the King of Gaoyang." Yang Song and Pan Zhong bowed one after another.

Qu Neng's face turned red instantly, and he stood in place with a blushing face, just staring at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that Qu Neng's ability to blush when he said his face was red, I have to find a chance to learn from him, every time he wants to show the redness of his face in front of King Yan, it is very difficult, and in the end, he has to rely on his expression and eyes to enter the play.

"General Qu." At this time, Pan Zhong quietly pulled the corner of Qu Neng's clothes with his hand.

Qu Neng was pulled by Pan Zhong's hand a few times, and then he reluctantly hugged his fists and said, "King Gaoyang." ”

His son Qu Yu hugged his fists directly, but he didn't speak, his eyes were also very fierce, and his acting skills were not far behind.

"Hahaha, General Qu, is it still comfortable to live here in Beiping?" Zhu Gaoxu laughed, jumped off the horse, and came to the four of them.

Pan Zhong and Yang Song looked at each other, feeling that Zhu Gaoxu was mocking Qu Neng.

He killed Qu Neng's son, and asked Qu Neng if he was comfortable here.

Qu Neng was really furious, and his expression was distorted: "Thanks to Hongfu, the king of Gaoyang County, Qu Neng's father and son are still alive and well for the time being." ”

"Hahaha, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, you can take refuge in my father regardless of your previous suspicions, this king admires you very much, you need to know that it is better to live than to die, some people die on the battlefield at a young age, what is it for you to be wronged here."

Yang Song and Pan Zhong were also furious when they heard this, but they hurriedly laughed and said, "What the King of Gaoyang County said is that thank you for King Yan's subordinates for sparing their lives. ”

Because they knew that Zhu Gaoxu was provoking Qu Neng and mentioning the death of Qu Neng's eldest son.

Sure enough, Qu Neng couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily: "Zhu Gaoxu, don't you deceive people too much? ”

"If there is no demon wind to help you that day, I will kill you."

Zhu Gaoxu was also immediately furious, and shouted angrily: "If I were you, I would commit suicide directly, and I would surrender with the face, and I would be right to call your eldest son Qu Tao." ”

"Zhu Gaoxu, I'll fight with you." Qu Neng rushed up with an arrow step, and Qu Yu also rushed up at the same time.

The two fathers and sons were no match for him with weapons, let alone with their bare hands.

Zhu Gaoxu punched and kicked, bang, kicked Qu Yu out first, grabbed Qu Neng's hand with his backhand, and buckled him to the ground with a slight twist.

The soldiers behind him rushed forward and pushed Pan Zhong and Yang Song aside.

"You kill me, you kill me-——" Qu Neng was in pain, as if he had really killed his son.

Lao Qu, you are enough, your acting skills are better than mine, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and whispered in his ear at this time: "Qu Tao is getting married, let me talk to you." ”

"Ahh

Qu Neng turned his head angrily and said in a low voice, "What does King Gaoyang want?" ”
