"In the first battle of Yongping, Jiangyin waited for Wu Gao to flee, and the governor of Shanhaiguan Geng was seriously injured, and he didn't wake up when he returned to the pass, and Yang Wen, the general soldier of Liaodong, fled in despair, and lost the last chance to fight Yongping again."

Zhu Quan gently pinched the battle report in his hand, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, as if he was surprised and happy, but it was mixed with some envy and jealousy.

The military power was handed over, but Daning was his vassal state after all, and the speed of receiving these news might be faster than that of the imperial court, but he never expected that when Li Jinglong's 500,000 army went straight to Beiping, the fourth brother actually had the courage and courage to attack Yongping, and scattered the 40,000 soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, forcing Yang Wen to return to Liaodong, and the originally precarious Yongping defense line returned to his hands in an instant.

It's a really big thing to do.

Sha Ning sat aside, she had already read the battle report, why did Zhu Quan pick it up and read it several times, she could guess some of his state of mind, and just bowed her head slightly: "In just a day and a half, King Yan took back the defeated Yongping, and Jiangyin Hou Wu Gao's army collapsed, if he hadn't escaped quickly and not been blocked in Yongping City, I am afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out." ”

Zhu Quan put down the battle report and rubbed his eyebrows: "After all, it won't affect the overall situation... The 500,000 army is still there, and the outcome is still certain. ”

Sha Ning sighed helplessly: "It's just me and the prince here, why bother to restrain yourself?" Seeing King Yan's actions, the prince was afraid that if he defeated Daning, he could also start cleaning up Liaodong at this moment, right? When the time comes, join forces with King Yan, and the inside and outside of the Guanguan will be ironclad, with an army of 500,000... It has to be consumed here, too. ”

Zhu Quan glanced at her and sighed: "Ning'er, I can't be careless, but if I make a move, then there is no way back, fourth brother... Of course I hope he can win, no matter how much he is like that unrighteous nephew, he will force me to death, now Chen Heng and Liu Zhen regard me to death, Daning City is already under their control, what else do I have besides this palace? ”

There are still some things he didn't say, in his opinion, those transactions between himself and Sha Man, Shaning didn't know, Duoyan Sanwei is now pressing on him step by step, there is no need to let Shaning know, even if Shaning was just his help in controlling Duoyan Sanwei at the beginning, it doesn't prevent him from loving her now, but he doesn't have to say these things to make her in a dilemma in the middle.

I hope he'll never know that Shanin already knew everything, and that he wore a green hat for him...

"Lord Wang, of course I know this, but if you have a good life, do I really want you to brazenly raise troops and embark on that desperate road with no return?" Shanin also sighed, "It's just... I just don't have much hope for the court, I just hope that no matter what the prince wants to do, he should make up his mind as soon as possible, I just hope that now that King Yan has won the battle again, the court can loosen the rope around his neck..."

Zhu Quan shook his head: "After all, I still have to wait for the results to come out from Beiping, the court announced that I have entered Beijing, I will not go anyway, as long as the war in Beiping is not settled, this king can still delay... But it's strange to say, this battle report makes it clear, the fourth brother beat Yongping and chased Wu Gao to outside Shanhaiguan, why did he turn around without even fighting? And he didn't hide his whereabouts at all, not only did he not return to Yongping, Beiping, but he also led his troops to go around in circles in the field? ”

Zhu Quan is also a soldier, thinking that it is him, and there are two choices at the moment, either to knock on the Shanhaiguan Pass to see if he can use this to open the passage between him and Xuanfu Datong, or to put Yongping as a temporary base camp and lead troops to harass the rear of Li Jinglong's army and hinder his progress in encircling Beiping, but Zhu Di's actions are too strange, could it be that he has any other plans?

Zhu Quan sighed, and was about to practice the sword again to relieve the depression in his heart, but the white-haired old steward staggered in and ran in, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the big thing is not good!" Daning Wei commanded Chen Heng to lead his troops to besiege the palace! ”

Zhu Quan's face changed greatly, he jumped up suddenly, and exclaimed, "What?!" ”

……

"Yes, the three camps outside the city are all pulled out of the village and guard the official road in the north, and the three guards of Duoyan want to go south, they can only pass through the official road, unless they can let the cavalry go to the forest," Chen Heng, the commander of Da Ningwei, is a middle-aged man who is not smiling, with a square face, and is commanding Ruoding on the street across the two streets of Ningwangfu at the moment, "Let Liu Dudu lead the troops to Songting Pass, no matter what calculation Yan Hui makes, he can't let him step outside the pass!" ”

The two guards waiting for the order sang in unison, turned over and went to pass the order, Chen Heng looked at the letter in his hand that still had some dirty stains that he couldn't tell what it was, and frowned.

When he first saw this letter, he thought it was a big joke, and after asking clearly, he realized that it was accidentally discovered by a few soldiers patrolling the city, and then handed it over to the commanding envoy Yamen, and sent it from the small officials below layer by layer.

But the news he received later made him have to be cautious... Because Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led his troops to Songting Pass.

That's right, the battle in the pass was in full swing, but Zhu Di put on the appearance of attacking Songting Pass and leading the troops out of the pass, which really shocked Chen Heng to the extreme, so he hurriedly sent troops to surround Ning Wangfu.

The letter was written by Sha Man, the head of Taining Wei, to Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and said that he had discussed it with the people of Fuyuwei and Duoyanwei, and only waited for the order of King Ning, and immediately sent troops to attack, and cooperated with King Yan to take Daning.

The content of the letter is actually very vague, many things are said without a beginning and an end, it seems that it is not the first time to communicate, and it is not the first time to discuss some things, so the ins and outs of some things, I am afraid that only the two sides can understand, and because of this, it gives people more room for imagination, this letter fell into the hands of Chen Heng, he found someone who understood Mongolian to translate, and then cooperated with Zhu Di's action to attack the city, which surprised him, thinking that Zhu Quan was really going to rebel and respond to King Ning.

However, after King Yan rebelled, the imperial court had already given an order to these officials who were responsible for keeping an eye on the vassal king, and everything could not be pushed too far, so he did not dare to go too far, and only dared to block the city gate under the guise of searching for King Yan's spies, alert the whole city, and besiege the palace of King Yan by the way, and at the same time send people to send the news outside the city and Songting Pass, so that they could prepare for the imminent outbreak of war.

Who the fuck would have thought of it... Such a letter of inexplicable origin actually made him prepare before King Ning made a move? The so-called providence is manifest, and this is probably the case.

And as long as this pass is passed and this evidence is sent to Jingshi, His Majesty will definitely issue an order to arrest King Ning and return to Beijing, and at that time, he Chen Heng will be a great achievement.

Removing those uneasiness and doubts, looking at the Ning Wangfu in the distance, Chen Heng's heart inevitably became hot.

……

"The prince is angry, those officers and soldiers are still somewhat restrained, the old slave went out to ask the reason, they didn't dare to do anything to the old slave, but forced the old slave back, according to their statement, it was the spy of the king of Yan who entered the city, and the intention was to be unfavorable to the prince, and the king of Yan was attacking Songting Pass at the moment, in order to prevent an accident in the city, so he sent officers and soldiers to guard... And they also said that for the safety of the prince, it was best for the prince not to go out and walk around the city in case of accidents. ”

"Fart!" Zhu Quan's face was so angry that he said, "The fourth brother is full of food and goes to fight Songting Pass?" What's outside the gates? He just wants to put this king under house arrest! ”

He thundered and shouted, "Go! Call Shi Zhu over and ask him to ask Chen Heng what he wants to do! This king has not violated the royal law, nor has he seen the will of the court, he is commanded by a small guard, why is this king under house arrest? ”

The old steward bent over: "Lord Changshi already knows about this, and he is still walking around the palace to warn everyone, follow Daning Wei's instructions, stay in the palace for a good life, and don't clash with the officers and soldiers..."

"This dog stuff that eats inside and out!" Zhu Quan jumped to his feet in anger, "Is he the long history of King Ning's Mansion or the dog of Da Ning Wei?" ”

Compared with the angry Zhu Quan, Shaning was much calmer, and she said lightly: "Why should the prince be angry? Changshi Shi was originally sent by the imperial court to watch the prince's every move, how could he stand on His Highness's side? ”

His own princess said this, Zhu Quan was at a loss, and he sat down: "How can this be?" How so? Why did the court suddenly act against the king? Don't... Could it be that the country is turbulent and the war is rotten, and His Majesty still doesn't care about it, and he has to put this king to death? Is it right to follow the example of the fourth brother and decisively raise troops? ”

Shaning pondered for a moment, waved his hand and dismissed the palace steward: "Your Highness... Don't worry, this matter is a little strange, where did Chen Heng get the courage? The war in the customs is raging, where will the imperial court pick this time? If you want to break the situation, I'm afraid you have to find out the reason first. ”

After she said this, Zhu Quan also calmed down, he was already a very smart person, but after thinking for a while, he found the problem: "Yes, you are right, there must be some variables that this king does not know, maybe... The fourth brother is really ready to fight Songting Pass, and Chen Heng will have such a move. ”

He immediately became confused: "But why did the fourth brother do this?" ”

Seeing Zhu Quan's puzzled and painful appearance, Shaning felt distressed and made up his mind: "The prince doesn't know, the envoy sent by King Yan last time is still in Daning City, and I have already asked people to target them, since I want to find out King Yan's intentions, why not ask them?" Why don't I go out of the palace first and see them once? ”

"You... Can you get out? Zhu Quan said worriedly, "Chen Heng's attitude like this clearly means that he wants to keep an eye on every move of the palace, don't make it worse at this moment, and give them more handles." ”

Sha Ning smiled and said: "I often go out of the city to hunt, it is a well-known thing in Daning City, the prince is not good to go out of the house to confront him, what am I afraid of as a woman?" Would a court member like him still embarrass me as a woman? As long as the court does not have the sin of Dingning Palace, how dare he do it to me? ”

She stood up and prepared to change her hunting outfit: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, what the hell are King Yan and Chen Heng going to do, I'll find out when I ask." ”

It's just that the moment she turned around, the smile disappeared, and the figure in her mind made her bite a mouthful of silver teeth.

Who would have thought that the person he wanted to put to death would one day beg him?
