Yan Wang Huo stood up from his position and strode back and forth in front of the hall first, seemingly anxious in his heart.

Everyone was waiting quietly, only Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, what does King Yan want me to do?

If it's military, it's impossible to be without generals here?

At this moment, King Yan spoke.

"Calling everyone here today, there is a very important thing I want to discuss with everyone."

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself that of course it was important, even all the generals were not there, but what did you call me for?

King Yan continued, we have been fighting Jingnan for almost three years, the sergeants are very tired, the territory is still so big, this winter, I would like to stop the army and truce, rest and recuperate, and wait for the spring to fight again.

However, Master Daoyan just said to me that he can't give the imperial court a chance to breathe, although we are tired, the imperial court is even more tired, and he said: "Don't go down to the city, go to the capital." The Jingshi is weak, and it is bound to be lifted. ”

The imperial court not only transferred troops, horses and grain from all sides, but a large number of southern troops near the Beijing division were requisitioned and then lost on the battlefield, so Yao Guangxiao thought that the Beijing division was weak and could go straight to the Beijing division.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu knew that King Yan did this in history, but he still showed a look of shock, as if he was very surprised.

King Yan said that he was still worried about the feasibility of this matter, but a few eunuchs who had recently fled back from Jingshi also confirmed that there were not many soldiers and horses near Jingshi.

It turns out that the little emperor doesn't like eunuchs very much, and almost does not reuse eunuchs, the eunuchs are not treated well, recently there are eunuchs in the palace who accidentally made a mistake with their son, and were heavily punished by the little emperor.

After hearing this, King Yan finally made up his mind: "When the soldiers are used frequently, when it is over, it will be a decisive battle in Linjiang, and I will not return to Gu." ”

King Yan's ambition, Zhu Gaoxu didn't have time to seriously comprehend it, but the ancients were so foolish about this, he was sure again.

Jingshi ran a few eunuchs and said a few casually, and King Yan believed it?

It seems that many little people will inadvertently change history.

Just like Zhang Bao in the Battle of Zhending, Geng Bingwen changed his strategy with a few casual words, but was caught off guard by the Yan army and suffered a heavy defeat.

Then King Yan said, the capital has the danger of the river, and it is a heavy city that the emperor has painstakingly managed, if it is attacked, I don't know how many soldiers and horses will be lost, in case the strong attack can not be carried out, the soldiers and horses of the world are surrounded by the king, and whether we can escape back smoothly is a problem.

And if the time is too long, and the southern army ignores the Beijing division and goes straight to Beiping, our home will be gone.

Therefore, when King Yan said this, his soft gaze like a loving father swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on Zhu Gaoxu's face.

Zhu Gaoxu looked dazed, as if he was listening very seriously, but in fact, he was already scolding his mother in his heart, and he had already guessed what King Yan wanted him to do.

I'm a grass nun, am I your son? Zhu Gaoxu scolded in his heart.

"Going straight to the Jingshi, you can't slow down, but the Jingshi is difficult to overcome, and you must have an internal response--" Yan Wang continued.

From the news they learned in the Beijing Division, the last time Li Jinglong was defeated, Huang Zicheng, who recommended him, also turned back on the spot, and Qi Tai demanded that Li Jinglong be severely punished.

At that time, Li Jinglong was like a lost dog, and all the courts wanted to kill him, but Zhu Yunwen was not determined to kill him.

This incident became a shadow in Li Jinglong's heart.

Now that the imperial court has been defeated again and again, Li Jinglong is also very panicked, in case the imperial court is defeated in the future, the little emperor Zhu Yunwen is angry, and the other ministers will still go forward and find trouble with him.

Therefore, Yao Guangxiao and Yan Wang believe that Li Jinglong is a person who can be wooed.

King Yan finally said: "Back then, I studied with Li Jiujiang, and I knew him best, and this person can be our internal response." ”

King Yan finally finished speaking, and then Yao Guangxiao said quietly: "Our people have come into contact with Li Jinglong. ”

"Ah" Zhu Gaoxu looked surprised, looking incredulous.

Li Jinglong, this dog thing, surrendered so quickly?

"But Li Jinglong didn't believe it, and said that the saint was so kind to him that he didn't hold him accountable for the defeat of the army."

King Yan said at this time: "What does he mean is to let our father and son talk?" Will he believe it? ”

Zhu Gaoxu scolded in his heart, what father and son? What father and son, why father and son?

Brush, Yuan Gong, Jin Zhong and others looked at Zhu Gaoxu at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu kept scolding his mother in his heart, you can let him charge into battle, at least he may not be seriously injured while wearing armor, this is going to Jingshi, in case he is discovered, it will really be nine deaths and one life, no, ten deaths and no life.

"That's it, I'll go." King Yan said seriously at this time: "Until now, only if I go out in person can I win Li Jinglong's trust." ”

"The king shall not."

"Never."

"Here in Beiping, how can there be no king?"

Everyone around them was suddenly in a hurry and shouted one after another.

"Gao Xu." King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu affectionately, and said: "After I go to Beijing, I will take all the big and small things in Beiping first, and if you are undecided about internal affairs, you can ask Daoyan, and ask Li Bin, Xu Zhong, and Zhu Neng for advice on military affairs." ”

Everyone stared at Zhu Gaoxu, presumably they were all scolding in their hearts, why didn't you open your mouth?

Zhu Gaoxu also stared at his father, Yanwang Zhu Di, and suddenly had a whimsy, if I say now: "Okay, father, you can go with peace of mind, all the things in Beiping will be handed over to the sons." ”

Presumably, King Yan's expression at that time must have been very interesting.

Zhu Gaoxu really wanted to say this.

But he knew that with King Yan's thick skin, it was useless for him to say it, and he had to go by himself in the end.

Before the Battle of Jiahe, King Yan asked his subordinates to persuade Sheng Yong to surrender, but no one among the generals was willing to go, and finally sent a hundred households over, which was directly cut down by Sheng Yong.

It can be seen that everyone usually talks about it above board, but when they really encounter this kind of thing, they can't avoid it.

When King Yan talks about this now, Zhu Gaoxu is really killing himself if he pretends to be crazy and stupid.

"Plop" Zhu Gaoxu knelt down directly, startling everyone around.

"My father is our backbone, and anyone in Beiping City can be missing, but not my father." Zhu Gaoxu said loudly: "Father, my son is willing to go to Beijing and meet that Li Jinglong." ”

King Yan's expression froze, and then he slowly showed a look of relief, and his voice became more and more loving: "Gao Xu." ”

King Yan said emotionally, tears faintly appeared in his eyes, but he really didn't say polite words, for fear that Zhu Gaochu would regret it if he said more, so he immediately walked over and patted Zhu Gaochu on the shoulder, and then held Zhu Gaoxu's arms and helped Zhu Gaochu up: "This is going to Beijing, there are many dangers, Gaoxu must be careful." ”

Come on, he didn't say a word of politeness, and immediately went downhill.

Zhu Gaoxu's heart was cold, and he was tricked by King Yan again.

But he knows that only he can do this, and since he has done it, of course he has to do it beautifully, and the province is thankless.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." Zhu Gaoxu said: "The eldest brother is physically inconvenient, the third brother is still young and inexperienced, no one is more suitable for this matter than Erchen." Please believe in your son, if you can come back from Jingshi once, you can come back twice, and your son can protect yourself,"

In the end, he said loudly: "Son, you must do what your father has explained, and do it beautifully." ”

"Gao Xu" King Yan burst into tears, his eyes were red, and he hugged Zhu Gaoxu's shoulders tightly: "You go early and return early, pay attention to safety on the road." ”

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu.

This is what it means to let him go immediately.

King Yan said again: "What else does Gao Xu need?" Money? ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, don't be in vain.

"Li Jinglong is a hereditary prince and has a lot of money, so he shouldn't be interested in money, but his sons may have to buy other people and use other people."

"Yuan Yi, you bring some silver taels and follow Gao Xu, everything, listen to Gao Xu's orders." King Yan immediately said.

Zhu Gaoxu's expression was stunned, he didn't expect King Yan to send Yuan Yi.

He and Yuan Yi can't deal with each other, and besides, is this considered -—— surveillance?

King Yan immediately said: "Only Yuan Yi knows about our detailed work in Beijing. ”

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice, and after thinking about it: "Erchen and he will go separately, and the Jingshi will meet again." ”

King Yan naturally allowed it.

The latter people talked about some details, including the promise to Li Jinglong.

Coming out of King Yan's mansion, the soldiers outside have not dispersed, proving that King Yan is going to move troops again soon, and he is convening various departments to discuss things.

But Zhu Gaoxu also talked to King Yan about the conditions just now, if he is not there, his soldiers and horses cannot move.

King Yan also agreed.

Because Zhu Gaoxu's training and command of the war were different from others, Li Xian's feudal cavalry was taken out by King Yan last time, and he suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses he trained hard did not want to die on the battlefield in vain.

The cold wind was blowing outside, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the Yanwang Mansion: "Tui" spat before getting on the horse.

"Let's go, go back." Take your subordinates all the way back to the county king's mansion.

When he returned to the county king's mansion, he immediately summoned the civil officials (most of the generals were in the barracks).

Then he said that he was going to lead the troops on the expedition recently, where to fight, of course, he couldn't say that you were all doing it step by step at home, and ordered some things.

Then he called Mao Xin and Song Changlin and asked them to stand by in the county king's mansion.

In the afternoon, he went to the barracks again and told the generals that King Yan was going to use troops on a small scale against the southern army, and he would go out with the army, but you were all left behind this time, stationed in Beiping, and strictly prevented the southern army from attacking, because Sheng Yong asked Ping An to lead troops to attack Beiping last time.

When he returned to Beiping, Zhu Gaoxu took Zhou Hu from the camp.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu went to King Yan's Mansion again, ready to say goodbye to Princess Xu.

There was no one at the gate of the palace, only two teams of guards, and one of the young generals saw Zhu Gaoxu outside the door, his expression was not very good-looking, and after hesitating, he still stepped forward: "Meet the King of Gaoyang County." His expression was a little disgusted, and Qu Yu was followed behind him.

Of course Zhu Gaoxu knows him, this is Tan Yuan's son Tan Zhong, after Tan Yuan's death, he took over his father's position, and now he is following the son, depending on the situation, the son is also there today.
