Although the Yan army was attacking in the first four months of Jianwen's fourth year, the two sides had each other's victories and defeats in the early stage, and they were all small victories and defeats, until the battle of Xiaohe and Qimeishan, the southern army won a big victory, and even beheaded many generals of the Yan army, and the Yan army suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, King Yan finally thought of Zhu Gaoxu.

Especially in the battle of Xiaohe, Ping An rushed left and right, no one was his opponent, King Yan's henchman Wang Zhen and general Zhu Rong were beheaded one after another, and even he was almost killed, King Yan finally knew that the brave general, at a critical time, still has a little effect.

In fact, as early as April 16, when the Yan army broke Wang Zhen and Zhu Rong in succession, and was almost killed by Ping'an, King Yan had already decided to transfer Zhu Gaoxu over.

After receiving the order in Beiping, Zhu Gaochu immediately assembled and reorganized his troops and horses, and on 19 April, Zhu Gaochu led his troops to set out.

This time is the longest period of rest at home after the Battle of Jingjing, when he goes out again, Zhu Gaochu feels a little uncomfortable, fortunately, he is very good at adjusting himself, and when he rides to the barracks and joins his subordinates, the invincible Zhu Gaochu seems to be back again.

On this expedition, he gathered 4,272 people from four battalions, all soldiers and cavalry, and many sentry cavalry and officers and generals had double cavalry.

As for the bows and arrows, there were countless of them, and some people brought three or four bows.

Zhu Gaoxu himself is also a man and two horses.

While heading south, they sent sentry cavalry to contact the sentry cavalry behind King Yan to inquire about the change in the position of the main force of the Yan army.

On April 23, the northern army camp on the north side of Suishui.

After the battle of Qimei Mountain, the Yan army was defeated and retreated to the north side of Suishui, temporarily relying on Suishui to stabilize its position.

Early this morning, the leaders were summoned to the camp of the Chinese army, and after coming in, everyone's faces were not good-looking, and their morale was very low.

Recently, the Yan army has suffered heavy setbacks and lost troops, and some people suggested last night that it is better to cross the Yellow River north and come back another day.

Since the end of last year, the Yan army and the southern army have fought repeatedly, and in the first few months, they have won and lost each other, but recently they have suddenly suffered heavy losses, especially the battle of Qimeishan, which is the biggest fiasco in this year, and Xu Huizu was reused by the emperor to bring reinforcements, so that some people in the army already have the idea of retiring.

At this time, the Yellow River went south from Xuzhou and joined the Huai River, so a general had just proposed: "Although the northern army is strong, it is not one side; The southern soldiers are weak, and they are all over the world, so they can only be requisitioned. Besides, the name of the court is still there, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to succeed for a while. Mo Ruo returned to Beiping, cultivated the elite, and tried to provoke the gap in order to raise it again. If you don't use your power and fight hard, I'm afraid you will lose, and you won't count. "Probably seeing that Xu Huizu had reinforcements coming, the generals were afraid of the endless southern army, so they proposed to cross the Yellow River north.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was furious at that time and was about to have a seizure, and there was a humane: "When you see that you can advance, you can retreat when you know the difficulties, and the art of war is also." The king knows the art of war, how can he be strong? ”

This meaning is even more obvious, the king is a person who understands the art of war, and he should know how to advance and retreat.

Many people around nodded secretly, and when Yan Wang Zhu Di saw it, he knew that he couldn't use it, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and suddenly missed Zhu Gaoxu very much.

If Qimeishan and Xiaohe fight, I will be high and defeated, and my morale will not be so low.

There was silence in the tent.

Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Report, the king, the king of Gaoyang County has arrived." ”

King Yan was immediately overjoyed, and many generals in the tent also showed joy.

On this expedition, Xu Zhong and Li Bin both asked Zhu Gaochu to be transferred, but King Yan said at the time that Zhu Gaochu was actually sent to Beijing by me, but you can't tell outsiders.

At that time, the three generals were very shocked, and the facts also proved that there was no Zhu Gaoxu this time, and it was the same as the Battle of Dongchang, which encountered a fiasco.

"Tell me about it." King Yan said excitedly.

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu was fully armored and walked into the camp.

"The sons and daughters have met their fathers and the generals."

"King Gaoyang."

"King Gaoyang is here."

"King Gaoyang."

There was a sudden commotion in the tent, which was completely different from the lifeless atmosphere just now.

Even the generals of the lineage such as Zhang Wu and Huo Zhen, who did not like Zhu Gaoxu in the past, also greeted Zhu Gaochu one after another.

King Yan greeted Zhu Gaochu quietly and greeted his son cordially, only then did he know that Zhu Gaochu was going first with a thousand miles of horses, and his subordinates were still behind.

He looked around and found that after Zhu Gaochu came in, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became warm, and many generals greeted Zhu Gaochu warmly, and everyone seemed to agree with Zhu Gaoxu's bravery, and they were very eager for him to come.

King Yan frowned secretly in his heart, but right now, he couldn't take care of this, and he had to wait with a smile.

"I knew that Gao Xu had come back safely, and I would talk about Jingshi's affairs later." He whispered hello to Zhu Gaoxu first, and his thick skin was also very good.

His own son was sent to Beijing by him like this, and he was almost arrested, and when his son came back, the war was unfavorable, and he immediately called his son over, which was really easy to use as a night pot.

King Yan saw Zhu Gaoxu come in, but he told him what had just happened, and then said: "The brothers who agree to cross the river stand on the left, and the brothers who do not want to cross the river and continue the bloody battle stand on the right." ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Neng took the lead in standing to the left, and said loudly: "Why did the generals say this!" In the past, Gaozu and Xiang Yu fought for the world, and Han Gaozu lost seventy-two battles in a row, and his ambition was undiminished, so he won the battle and finally had the world. Since the beginning of the army, the king has taken not one place, and he has not been defeated by one person, from north to south, all the way to attack the city and fight, and there are many victories. Why did you decide to quit the division by chance? And may I ask you, are you still studying in Beiping, or are you self-reliant? Or is it a matter of the north? Whoever speaks of this will be unwise or disfaithful. The beggar king quickly slashed the crowd. ”

Qiu Fu immediately joined Zhu Neng, and then Zhang Wu, Huo Zhen, Wang Cong, Liu Jiang and other henchmen of King Yan stood on the right.

Zhu Gaoxu also saw a person who looked more similar to Tan Yuan, and later learned that it was Tan Yuan's younger brother Tan Qing.

Yan Wang Zhu Di's face suddenly became ugly.

What Zhu Neng said was so reasonable, but there was no reaction at the scene.

You must know that there are all generals in the northern army formation, and there are as many as fifty or sixty generals.

But standing on the right side of King Yan, less than one-tenth of them are willing to follow King Yan closely.

But what frightened him even more and couldn't face it happened again.

At this moment, brushing, many people subconsciously looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Among them, Li Bin, Xu Zhong, Li Xian, Meng Shan, who were good friends with Zhu Gaoxu, and even the generals of the feudal cavalry, Ahachu, Tulu Kuchar, Azashri, and Tabin Timur, were all looking at Zhu Gaoxu.

Some other Chen Zhi, Chen Xu, He Shou, Xu Li, Mao Quan, Fang Kuan, etc., who surrendered early, were also watching Zhu Gaoxu.

Yan Wang's face turned slightly red, and his heart fluctuated uncontrollably.

Without Zhu Gaoxu's campaign, the Northern Army often suffered heavy defeats, and it is obvious that in the past few years, most of the generals in the army have very much agreed with Zhu Gaoxu's ability.

This is something that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can't accept in his heart.

At this time, this scene is very similar to the early Tang Dynasty, and I don't want to be Li Yuan.

And Zhu Gaoxu didn't know that Yan Wang Zhu Di would already treat him as Li Er, he had just come to the scene, he didn't know anything about the battle situation here, and he just heard Yan Wang say that he wanted to stand in line.

By the time he came to his senses, some of the generals were already standing on his right.

He looked up at the people standing on the right, and suddenly he had a plan in his heart.

"What General Zhu said makes sense, Han Gaozu has been defeated repeatedly, and he can still win the battle in one battle, we will get stronger and stronger, there is no reason why Han Gaozu is not as good as Han Gaozu? I support the bloody battle to the end. ”

After that, Zhu Gaoxu stood to the right.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu standing to the right, Xu Zhong and Li Bin glanced at each other, and quickly stood to the right, and then Li Xian and several feudal horsemen also stood over.

Whew, King Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart.

He hurriedly said: "The generals are not disloyal, and they have different wisdom. However, after thinking about it, General Zhu's words were finally true. For the sake of today's plan, I only pray to think urgently to defeat the enemy. ”

He also said that if we lose in the end, we will all be killed by traitors, and we will die faster.

When the rest of the generals heard this, they had no choice but to lower their heads and slowly walk to the right.

After Zhu Gaoxu came, the Yan army finally unified its thinking and fought to the end.

King Yan turned his anger into joy, and after the generals dispersed, he immediately walked in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and grabbed his arms with both hands again: "Gao Xu took risks this time and made a great contribution, I don't know how to thank you." ”

"This is the son's own thing, and it's what the son's son should do." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said.

King Yan has been observing Zhu Gaoxu's expression, probably to see if he is sincere, and then he will say: "I and your mother and concubine also quarreled about this matter, I should have gone in person, how could I ask my own son to take risks." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, does he also know that he is his own son? He wanted to say something kind, but he didn't.

King Yan remained silent and continued: "Your eldest brother is physically inconvenient, Gao Sui is young and inexperienced, I know that Gao Xu has been wronged, but Gao Xu's credit, I will really remember it." ”

King Yan once again routined Zhu Gaoxu, and he mentioned it over and over again, and he would keep it in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate this time, and immediately grasped the main point: "Father's letting his sons enter Beijing is also a clever move, maybe we can end our Jingjing Battle as soon as possible and enter the Beijing Division." ”

King Yan's face was happy, you just understand.

"But Erchen has a request, if his father can enter the Jingshi, he will promise Erchen one thing."

King Yan immediately did not hesitate: "Gao Xu said casually, as long as he can enter the Jingshi, ten things will be accomplished." ”

If he didn't know the virtue of King Yan, Zhu Gaoxu would have to thank his eight-generation ancestors.

"This time I went to Beijing, Huang Zicheng's daughter Huang Ying helped me a lot, without Huang Ying's help, Erchen almost couldn't come back."

King Yan's expression first froze, and then he laughed: "Huang Zicheng is talented, I still want to reuse him, Gao Xu can rest assured-"

Let go of your mother's fart, Zhu Gaoxu thought that I could rest assured, so he hurriedly said: "Huang Ying can't die, and the son wants to marry her." ”

King Yan smiled again and patted Zhu Gaoxu heavily: "If you enter the Beijing Division, Gao Xu can marry whoever he wants." ”

Zhu Gaoxu got King Yan's assurance, and his face looked much better, but after he walked out of the camp, he was still thinking, King Yan swore that he would never believe it, historical experience told him that what King Yan said was quite unreliable.

But I hope that King Yan can see that he has made great contributions and remember today's words.

King Yan silently watched Zhu Gaoxu walk out of the tent, thinking in his heart, it turns out that I still like beauties so much.

If a person has a preference, it is easier to do.
