Chapter 341: Gong Changhou who avoided the war
Zhu Su's reluctance to go to the Jianchang camp made Wang Zonglong a little frightened.
In his mind, these sergeants under Zhu Su were just some patchwork of miscellaneous troops, and even brought prisoners who were far more numerous than the soldiers. As far as common sense is concerned, this is already a taboo for soldiers, if these captives rise up one after another during the march or when the enemy comes to attack, how can several highnesses deal with it?
The best move is to put the troops and prisoners into the Jianchang camp, and then these three highnesses and adults should return to Beijing, and go home when they should go home.
But this highness obviously had made up his mind, and Wang Zonglong didn't dare to say anything more. Just when this is just a young man's stubbornness, he said angry words, and after Gong Chang waited for Guo Xing to speak, he naturally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.
As his soldiers and horses entered the city, there was an inevitable burst of chickens and dogs jumping in Changli County, and Zhu Su asked Wang Zonglong seemingly casually: "Like this city, how many counties have been looted by Naha's subordinates?" ”
"About...... There are more than a dozen. Wang Zonglong replied.
"......" Zhu Su was silent.
After a while, Fang said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go and see the army of Naha first." ”
……
Changli County is not far from Yongping Mansion City, Zhu Su and his entourage found a mountain, and looked at the direction of Yongping Mansion from afar on the mountain: they saw that the camp outside Yongping City was like a cloud, and the flag was like a forest, and it was vaguely seen that countless Yuanting soldiers were shuttling with each other in the gap between the camps, and the dust stirred up could be clearly seen even by them who were far away.
"There are so many of them!" Zhu Fan beside him exclaimed.
Zhu Su himself was secretly frightened. To be fair, it was the first time he had seen such an army. Although he knew early on that Naha's headquarters had more than 100,000 troops, in Zhu Su's heart, he actually did not have a very specific concept of this "100,000".
Only now did he understand what a terrible number this "100,000" was.
"These people are stationed under the Yongping Mansion, but they have not made a move to siege the city, it seems that they really have the intention of encircling the point to send reinforcements." Zhu Di looked at the super-large camp that could accommodate more than 100,000 people, and his face was cold. After a while, he turned his head and asked Wang Zonglong: "Where is Gong Changhou's camp?" ”
"It's in that direction." Wang Zonglong pointed to a boundary far away from the camp of Naha.
"It's so far away." On the map, although the Jianchang camp is near the left of Yongping Mansion, in fact, there is still a long distance, and there are even two rivers separated by it.
Gong Changhou chose such a camping site, and Zhu Su knew the calculation in his heart at a glance: it seems that this Gong Changhou did not think about a head-on battle with Naha's headquarters, and the camping site he chose left a lot of leeway.
"Gong Changhou set up the military camp here, does he want to stare Naha from afar?" Zhu Di said dissatisfied.
“…… Belch. Wang Zonglong heard the unhappiness in Zhu Di's words, and he didn't dare to say more.
After watching for a while, a few people were about to go home, but they saw Di Meng come forward and report: "Your Highness, there is a small cavalry army approaching in the distance, judging from the banner, it is my Ming army." ”
Zhu Su stretched out the monoculars when he heard this, and saw that there was indeed a small group of cavalry troops approaching here, and on the fluttering banner, the words "Gongchang Houguo" were extremely eye-catching.
"Minister Guo Xing, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Yan, and His Royal Highness the King of Wu." Before the person arrived, Gongchang Hou Guo Xing was also a man with a rough body, but he had a pair of slender eyes that did not match the heroic body type, and he always looked as if he was planning something. Seeing Zhu Su's Wang Qi from a distance, he dismounted with a beautiful flying body, showing the demeanor of a battlefield warrior.
Zhu Su glanced at Wang Zonglong, knowing that he secretly reported to Guo Xing in the Jianchang camp, but thinking that this person was also worried about their safety, he didn't have a seizure in person. After glancing at the two brothers, he greeted him: "I'll take a look at the enemy's situation, but I didn't expect to be so tired that the Hou Ye came here in person, but I waited too long." ”
"Several highnesses have thousands of gold bodies, and His Majesty in Beijing has been worried about them for a long time. As His Majesty's courtiers, how can I not share your Majesty's worries? Gongchang waited for Guo Xing to laugh, and the two groups of people reminisced about the past, and the scene was happy for a while.
Guo Xing asked Zhu Su and others about the journey, and learned that they were unexpectedly forced to land in Liaodong, and by the way, after helping Dingliaowei recover Shanhaiguan, Guo Xingxi said: "Your Highness has made such miraculous achievements!" In this way, Naha's defeat is assured! Then he immediately turned his head and ordered behind him: "Let the battalion send 20,000 people to it as soon as possible, and be sure to assist the Dingliao guard to defend the Shanhai Pass, and completely cut off Naha's back road back to Liaodong." ”
"Yes." The herald suddenly responded, and Zhu Su also nodded. It is indeed reluctant to rely on the Dingliao Guard, who is already a remnant, to defend Shanhaiguan, and if Jizhen is willing to send people to assist in the defense, it will be better.
"Now that Naha's way out has been cut off, when does Gong Changhou want to send troops to wipe out his generation?" But it was Zhu Di who came out and asked.
"I've got my own plans for this." There was an inexplicable glint in Gong Changhou's eyes, and then he smiled: "The ministers still send someone to send the three highnesses back to Shuntian first, the soldiers here are dangerous and fierce, and the three highnesses should not stay longer." ”
"There's no hurry." Zhu Su directly interrupted Guo Xing's words. "It's a rare opportunity, the three of us brothers, and we want to see here for a while. Even if you can give Gong Chang a hand, that's good. ”
"......" Guo Xing's face froze, and then he smiled again: "Since this is the case, then please invite the three highnesses to the minister's Jianchang camp......
"It doesn't have to be." This time it was Zhu Di who interrupted. "I'll wait on the periphery, and I'll wait for you to echo Gongchang from afar. If Nahachu had learned that the back road had been cut off, he would have broken it into pieces and plundered the people in order to raise food and grass. ”
"I'm just waiting here, maybe I can stop one or two."
This sentence almost directly pointed out Guo Xing's inaction with heavy troops, Guo Xing's face was a little ugly, and he said: "The three highnesses don't know anything, and those who do military affairs will move their whole body with one shot." ”
"If you stay in this dangerous place, if Naha leads the army of his headquarters to attack, what can I do?"
"Our army and Naha's army were originally in a stalemate with each other, if the three highnesses were in danger, we had to send troops to rescue them, so the fighters were delayed...... With such a crime, the three highnesses may bear it? ”
"You ......" Hearing him say this, Zhu Zhang's face immediately changed, Zhu Su hurriedly grabbed him, and said coldly: "We know the severity, if we can't do anything, we will naturally take people thousands of miles away." I also hope that Marquis Guo can seize the fighter plane and give a tail blow when Naha is attracted by us, so that I can end the war in the north of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. ”
