"My lord, are we really going to Daning? It's almost Liaodong there, so let's not be deserters. ”

On the official road to the north of Beiping, the previous scene of fleeing people blocking the official road has disappeared, and three fast horses raised smoke and dust and galloped all the way to the north.

Wei Laosan, who took off his military uniform and changed into a civilian outfit, was still extremely burly, he looked at the thin figure in front of him, and his resentment was about to overflow: "It's only been two days to stop and you have to run so far..."

The voice was very small, but the figure in front of him listened to it, and Gu Huai turned his head expressionlessly: "One more word?" ”

Wei Laosan muttered twice, but he didn't dare to answer.

Gu Huai retracted his gaze, a little strange, Wei Laosan didn't have this kind of virtue that likes to complain about work before... When I went south to Jinling, I also said that I would leave, why did I suddenly change today?

"What's going on?"

"I invited Chen Ping's kid to drink several meals before he agreed to let his wife tell me about a mother-in-law... As a result, I left the city before I came to the door today, so don't I still want to fight a single? ”

So that's how it was... After the First World War, the relationship between Wei Laosan and Chen Ping has improved by leaps and bounds, Chen Ping is a reserved and reticent character, and Wei Laosan can also get along with a ruffian, after the Northern Army withdrew to Beiping, Chen Ping, an officer who was promoted to a thousand households, must have a holiday, these two Qiu Ba estimated that they drank together in Beiping City, but I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Wei Laosan poured into him actually made him talk about kissing...

Gu Huai shook his head: "Maybe one day you will die on the battlefield, don't delay others." ”

Wei Laosan was even more angry: "My lord, what you said... If you beat a bachelor yourself, you won't be able to see me. ”

"Fart," Gu Huai couldn't cry or laugh, "When the battle is over, you will be promoted and make a fortune, isn't it good to marry a lady?" ”

"I don't want to marry any ladies, it's expensive and hypocritical," Wei Laosan glanced at Mang Chong who was riding on a horse next to him, "If you marry like this, you will suffer when you go home." ”

Mangzhong, who had been turning his head to look at the scenery, turned his head, the corners of his mouth were tense, and the back of his white hand was already faintly green.

Gu Huai had a headache: "Enough, what are you doing to provoke her?" ”

"Her name is me."

Gu Huai said angrily: "This time, the secret spy department will go to Daning with the three of us, don't start infighting... And don't put on a face to show me, you think I want to go? ”

Wei Laosan and Mang Chong, who were following behind Gu Huai, glanced at each other, and Qi Qi snorted coldly and turned his head.

The north is flat, the official road is straight, it has been two days since Beiping, when it is almost dark, there is a pass in front of it, and the pass has gathered a lot of people who want to go out of the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass are fully armed to check the luggage of the passing people, this is actually not the scope of the northern army, so the guards here still belong to the imperial court, Gu Huai slowed down the horse, looked at the situation around the pass, and looked at the mangs on the side:

"From here on, the geography and the number of soldiers must be recorded, and maybe it will come in handy at any time."

Mang Chong smiled: "My lord, are we going to persuade King Ning to defect to His Highness?" It's not about sending troops to attack Daning... Why do you have to look so closely? ”

Since he was going to Daning, he always had to get to the bottom of some situations with the two people who were traveling with him, but Gu Huai didn't tell the whole plan, and when he heard Mangzhong's question at this moment, he just shook his head: "You have to make a few more preparations for everything... Especially when you want to pull people into the water, after all, it is a knife licking blood business, and there are many people who regret it halfway, have you heard of the alliance under the city? ”

Wei Laosan scratched his head and leaned over: "The first half of the adult's words are like those men who fall into the grass... But what kind of city is this alliance under the city? ”

"It's not a place, it's an allusion, haven't you read a book? Why don't you even know this... Hmm, to give you a simple example, have you ever heard of robbing relatives? ”

Wei Laosan's spirits perked up: "That's naturally heard." ”

"The mother-in-law who snatched it will definitely be able to sleep in a bed, and maybe she can give you a baby, but was this mother-in-law willing to follow you at the beginning?"

"My lord, can we stop mentioning the mother-in-law..."

"Anyway, that's the case, you just treat King Ning as that little daughter-in-law," Gu Huai rubbed his nose, a little helpless, "After all, I have to go and find out the wind first to see if King Ning is willing to marry." ”

Wei Laosan thought about it and grinned: "My lord said this, I understand, if you are willing to marry, then you are good to me, if you are not willing to marry, we have to bring troops over to rob it, and when the time comes, he will sleep and the baby will be born, and he will not be able to live with our prince... That's what it means, right? ”

Gu Huai couldn't help laughing: "Yes, that's what it means." ”

Mangzhong, who had been writing down the situation around her, raised her head, just in time to see a flash of smile on Gu Huai's face, she was in a trance for a moment, and put away the booklet: "My lord, I have written it down." ”

"Then let's go," Gu Huai flicked the reins of his horse, "After passing the Songting Pass, even if you enter King Ning's fiefdom, looking at the number of defenders here, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to grab it, since that's the case, let's see if we can find a way to cook raw rice and cook rice, and then deceive King Ning first." ”

He smiled: "Now I can only hope that King Ning will be a little more deceitful..."

……

King Ning, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, although the ranking is low, but he is one of the most valued vassal kings, which can be seen from the title of Daning, because it faces Liaodong.

The vassal kings in the north, in fact, add up to only a few, in addition to the three guards of the vassal king, there are other military powers, and the full fight is also the king of Yan and the king of Ning, so Zhu Di did not have the idea of fighting the seventeen brothers, and at the beginning of the army, he wrote a secret letter detailing the injustice of the court, and wanted King Ning to send troops to help him rebel together, but this letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.

Come to think of it... There is a high top when the sky falls, there is Zhu Di in the north, no matter how you think that the imperial court will not move him first, Zhu Di wants to rebel that is really good news, Zhu Di can watch the fire from the other side if he wins, Zhu Di loses and he will be honest and obedient, anyway, it is not his turn to suffer.

Raising troops? Fart.

Daning Guhuizhou, east is Liaodong, west is connected to Xuanfu, is a heavy place for soldiers, with 80,000 armor, 6,000 leather cars, among the kings, it is slightly inferior to the Yan King who led the troops to conquer Mobei, it stands to reason that such a character should be suspicious of the imperial court, and should walk before the five kings who were cut down, but King Ning is still fine, the reason is because King Ning... Too obedient.

The first emperor died, and the new emperor wanted to cut the military power? Deliver! In addition to King Ning's three guards, Daning's garrison was all handed over to the generals sent by the imperial court, and all the customs and defenses were also handed over, at this point, King Ning was much cleaner than Zhu Di's hands and feet, Zhu Di would also install the old department in the army and meddle in logistics, King Ning really didn't care about anything as soon as he closed his eyes.

Then after the news of the four kings came out this year, the court wanted to confiscate his three guards, and King Ning handed them all over without blinking an eye.

Until last month... After the end of the First World War, the imperial court issued a decree to summon the kings to Beijing, and King Ning showed a resistant attitude for the first time, let alone on the road, even the palace didn't quite think of it.

He is obedient, but he is not stupid.

So the question is, since King Ning's military power has been cut clean now, and he is almost alone, why do Gu Huai and Zhu Di still fight his idea?

The reason is very simple, because in addition to the local military power and the three guards of the vassal king, King Ning also has the most powerful armed cavalry in this year.
