Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the backyard of the Zhangde Mansion, the commander Wang Chaoxi was sleeping soundly with two concubines from a large family in Zhangde Mansion.
Some people may still be high-sounding when the world is peaceful, pretending to be a well-dressed benevolent and righteous gentleman. But if the world is in chaos, these are the people who may abandon etiquette, righteousness, shame, morality and ethics first.
Wang Chaoxi is like this.
He relied on the power of his wife's mother's family to become a commander of the four products, so he often talked about his wife on weekdays. At every turn, he talks about how good his wife is, and often says how shameless and indecent those who take concubines are.
But now the world has just changed, retreating all the way from Huaiqing Mansion to Zhangde Mansion, and he is the one who is playing with women all the way.
In his sleep, Wang Chaoxi seemed to see the two personal maids of Lord Yin Qian of Huaiqing Mansion in the past. In the past, every time he went to Lord Qian's mansion to see those two personal maids, he would secretly swallow his saliva, but this time he finally dared to stretch out his claws to the two of them.
The boss had just tied up the two personal maids, and before Wang Chaoxi could cut their clothes with a knife, he suddenly felt a hot pain in his body.
Wang Chaoxi woke up immediately, opened his mouth and shouted, "Someone, there are assassins!"
"Shut up!"
A cold drink startled Wang Chaoxi, and at this time, the two women who were asleep next to him and had not a wisp of their bodies also woke up. The two screamed in fright, and subconsciously grabbed the quilt and leaned against the corner of the bed.
Wang Chaoxi was now lit with all the candles in the room, and his subordinate Ma Laosi, who had experienced the seventh grade, was standing beside a heroic young man with a bow.
At the same time, there was a tall man with a big waist and a round waist, as well as several men with cold faces.
Wang Chaoxi could see at a glance that Jiang Xia was the leader among these people, and he asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" Ma Ma Lao Si, what's going on?"
Ma Laosi secretly glanced at Jiang Xia and hurriedly explained: "My lord, this is Lord Jiang Xiajiang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who came from Jingshi and the head of the royal family's dragon detective, was ordered to assist the general of Zhenguo to quell the chaos. ”
"Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, Jiang Xia?" Ma Laosi suddenly remembered Jiang Xia, the new favorite minister he had often heard mentioned in the past two years.
Wang Chaoxi hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, bowed to Jiang Xia and said, "Your Majesty, see Lord Jiang." ”
Jiang Xia nodded, and said with a displeased face: "Henan is in chaos, and there are thieves and refugees everywhere. As a military general of the imperial court, you are responsible for guarding the city gates, and you don't think about how to supervise the city defenses, but you are merry and happy here, which is really damn extreme. ”
Wang Chaoxi didn't dare to refute at all, and kept nodding his head and said: "Yes, yes, the adult's lesson is right, the lower officials know that they are wrong, and they know that they are wrong." ”
Jiang Xia glanced at Wang Chaoxi angrily, and the top priority at the moment was to ask about Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts, so Jiang Xia didn't talk to Wang Chaoxi about this matter even though he was angry.
Jiang Xia said: "Let me ask you, where are the soldiers and horses of the general of Jingshi Town now?"
When Wang Chaoxi heard this, he immediately replied: "Lord Huijiang, General Zhenguo's soldiers and horses have passed all the way since they entered Henan, and they have left Zhangde Mansion and gone to Kaifeng Mansion more than ten days ago. Calculate the degree, I'm afraid it's not necessarily Kaifeng at this time. ”
"Arrived in Kaifeng?" Jiang Xia was shocked when he heard this, he took the five hundred spies of the royal family dragon detective and chased him from the Beijing Division, and there was almost no delay along the way, how could it be so far from Zhu Houzhao's itinerary?
Jiang Xia shook his head and said to himself: "Impossible, he has a heavy drag, it shouldn't be so fast." ”
"Baggage?" Wang Chaoxi said after hearing this: "Lord Jiang, General Zhenguo did not take the baggage team on the road together, and the five thousand soldiers and horses escorting the baggage have just left Zhangde Mansion not long ago, about three days. ”
"Didn't bring any baggage?" Jiang Xia suddenly shouted.
As soon as he stood up, his face immediately changed.
At this moment, Jiang Xia had a bad premonition in his heart, he felt that Zhu Houzhao might have an accident. Although Jiang Xia is not good at leading troops to fight, he still has basic common sense.
The so-called three armies did not move the grain and grass first, how could there be any troops to fight without carrying grain and grass?
Jiang Xia immediately decided: "Let's go! Go on the road immediately, be sure to catch up with the baggage team first." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Meng, Bu Jinyun, Qian Juexing and others responded in unison.
And as Jiang Xia expected, Zhu Houzhao did have an accident.
The four soldiers and horses he brought out from the Beijing Division, plus the guards and horses collected along the road, a total of 100,000 troops entered Kaifeng Mansion.
Kaifeng, Henan Province, as the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, is also very magnificent and magnificent. In addition, the city is high and the walls are thick, so before entering Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Houzhao thought that he would encounter a hard battle.
Who knew that when Zhu Houzhao finally arrived at the city tower of Kaifeng Mansion, the city gate was hidden, and there was no one on the city tower.
Zhu Houzhao and his army took Kaifeng lightly without a single soldier, so Zhu Houzhao did not expect this situation and at the same time couldn't figure out why those thieves would give up Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't think of an accurate answer to this question, but Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue, who followed him, gave him a very convincing conjecture.
"Those thieves are some rabble, it was just a fluke to take Kaifeng Mansion before, and now they heard that the imperial court's army of quelling rebellion is coming all the way, they must not even have the courage to fight, and they fled early. ”
"My emperor is wise, the divine power is like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, where do these thieves dare to stay and use their mantis arms as a car, of course, it is better to leave early. ”
Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue let them play officialdom strategy, and they may be strong in setting up tricks, but let them lead troops to fight, and both of them will become laymen.
Anyone who knows a little about marching and fighting can see the extraordinary, the entire huge Kaifeng Mansion has no figure, not even the sound of livestock, as if it is a dead city. Isn't this obviously something strange? It's a pity that none of these people thought of it.
Zhu Houzhao was also very happy to be able to take Kaifeng Mansion along the way, and he ordered to immediately deploy defenses in Kaifeng City. At the same time, he ordered to search the granary of the castle tower to see how much surplus grain was left.
At noon, the soldiers defending the city, whether Beijing soldiers or local soldiers, shouted, and the firehead soldiers, who were specially responsible for serving food to the soldiers, were also beaten.
The reason is why? It is because the soldiers are eating rice soup at noon today.
Wrong, what kind of rice soup is there, it's just a bowl of crystal clear boiled water.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Kaifeng was the fief of Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhou Wang Zhu Hu, but later the Zhou King was moved out of Kaifeng because the person who inherited the throne was the son of the concubine during the Jingtai period, and a remote place was given as a fief.
And the original Zhou Wangfu has also become the palace of the emperor's spring hunting parade, and Zhu Houzhao lives in this palace at this moment.
Because he and Li Feng were entangled all night, Zhu Houzhao slept until the third pole of the sun.
As soon as he freshened up and left the dormitory with the help of Li Feng, Liu Jin had just walked to the front hall and came to report that it was Gao Jia, the commander of the guard post of Weihui Mansion, and three other commanders came to ask for a meeting.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao immediately summoned them, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, the four commanders knelt down and saluted in unison: "See the general." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, he felt that he seemed to like to listen to the phrase "see the general" more than "see the emperor".
Zhu Houzhao said: "Excuse me, why did you come to see this general?"
"General Qiyu, something is wrong. We have already sent people to search the inside of Kaifeng Mansion, and there is no grain and grass. Now that the army has run out of food, I don't know what to do, please show the general. Gao Jia bowed.
When Zhu Houzhao heard that there was no food in the army, and there was no food at all in Kaifeng Mansion, he immediately felt a little bad.
However, before he could speak, Liu Jin said: "There is no grain in Kaifeng Mansion, is it possible that there is no food outside Kaifeng? Send a few troops and horses to collect grain from door to door in the homes of those people outside Kaifeng Mansion, is it possible for our soldiers to fight hungry?"
Gao Jia glanced at Liu Jin coldly, he didn't know Liu Jin's identity, he just felt that this person spoke softly and acted harshly, which was annoying.
Gao Jia later said to Zhu Houzhao: "Please show the general." ”
Gao Jia obviously ignored Liu Jin by doing this, Liu Jin was extremely angry, but he was not angry.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't think of the rest of the good ways after thinking about it for a while, so he nodded and said, "Let's do what he wants first." When the army arrives, they will return the food to the people. ”
Gao Jia sighed slightly, nodded in response: "Yes, General." ”
As soon as Gao Jia's words fell, suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran into the main hall, and the soldier shouted loudly as he ran: "Report"
After entering the main hall, without waiting for Zhu Hou to ask them, the soldier knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Ladies and gentlemen, the big thing is not good, there are a large number of enemy troops around the city gate, and now the exits of Kaifeng Mansion have been surrounded. ”
"What?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly panicked.
Gao Jia shouted distractedly: "It's not good, it's a trick." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he remembered one more thing, and shouted even louder: "It's not good, the grain and grass are dangerous!"
Indeed, if you can send two or three hundred thousand troops to surround your Kaifeng Mansion, can't you send twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses to rob your grain and grass?
The army escorting the baggage had just entered Qi County in Weihui Mansion, and was already surrounded in the county seat before they could get out of Qi County.
Knowing that the baggage was a heavy matter, the escort general resisted to the death with his back to the east gate, and it was only delayed for two days.
However, at present, the baggage army has suffered heavy casualties, and there are less than 2,000 troops left to continue fighting, and I am afraid that it will no longer be able to continue to resist.
ps: The third of the ten watches, I still owe seven more, I stayed up all night and was a little sleepy, and the tiger who continued to attack the code word for an hour couldn't afford to be hurt, haha
