Chapter 80: King Ning! Caoyun

"Your Majesty, this matter is by no means so simple."

Wu Bozong got up from his seat and made a gesture to Zhu Yunwen, then turned his head to look at Yan Ji. Seeing that the other party was angry, there was a joy of revenge in his eyes, and he said slowly:

"Yan is really calculating. His Majesty Yan Fuchenshi, Yan Keng is the Yan rebel general, and the Duke of Yue is majestic in the court, but Langya Zhuge is old? No matter how the world changes, the Yan family's glory will not change, and it is really the descendant of King Jingping, this plan is wonderful! ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the cabinet suddenly froze, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng did not speak, but their eyes were on the two of them, especially on Yan Ji's body for a long time, and his eyes gradually became a little suspicious, obviously affected by Wu Bozong's words.

Zhu Yunwen's voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Yan Ji's heart burned with anger, but he also knew that the top priority was not to argue with that Wu Bozong, so he turned around and bowed to Emperor Jianwen:

"Your Majesty, the loyalty of the ministers shines on the sun and the moon. If Your Majesty has any doubts, please behead me. ”

"Aiqing can rest assured, your credit is obvious to all, and I trust you." Zhu Yunwen barely squeezed out a smile, and then said:

"Wu Fuchen, how can you say this Meng Lang? Don't make amends quickly. ”

Wu Bozong did not dare to disobey, and repeatedly confessed, but there was no remorse on his face, and he was a little gloating.

Yan Ji bowed deeply: "Thank you for your trust." But there was still a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Trust is like a mirror, once broken, it can never be restored.

Half a month later, Zhu Yunwen ordered Yan Ji to be the governor of Caoyun on the grounds that some officials had embezzled grain and salaries, and was in charge of escorting Caoyun to serve the army.

——

At this time, in the north of the Ming Dynasty, an important event that is about to affect the future direction of the Ming Dynasty is happening.

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, is one of the nine great kings of the Ming Dynasty.

His fiefdom Daning, which connects Liaozuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west, is an important military town. And King Ning is "with 80,000 armor, 6,000 leather carts", and the Mongolian cavalry Duoyan Sanwei helps, and the army compares it with the Shunyi iron cavalry, and even evaluates it higher than Shunyi, which shows that its combat power is extraordinary.

King Ning's fiefdom is vast, the area is several times that of other vassal kings, Zhu Quan let his subordinates tuntian, reclaim wasteland for planting, like a country within a country!

There are even rumors: "King Yan is good at fighting, and King Ning is good at planning." "can be compared with Zhu Laosi, who has fought all his life, and Zhu Quan's ability can be seen.

Such a powerful king naturally has great influence in the clan, and it plays an extremely crucial role in the trend of the war.

Therefore, after Zhu Di led his troops to defeat the defenders, capture Zhending Mansion, and expand his army to 40,000, he immediately went north to try to get the support of King Ning.

However, although King Ning is strong and strong, he actually doesn't have much ambition, and he doesn't think about the emperor or anything, and he is already very happy to have a prince's position.

Although the recent miserable experience of the vassal kings has made him feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, it is impossible for him to start an army. After all, judging from the current form, the Yan army is really not optimistic, although Zhu Di grabbed the land of the five mansions, and his strength has increased greatly compared with the original history, but the chance of winning is still not big to resist a country in a corner.

He decided to wait and see.

Therefore, although he was not unwelcome for the arrival of King Yan, he was not too enthusiastic.

However, this has nothing to do with Yan Wang.

He didn't really plan to live in peace with King Ning.

King Ning's Daning soldiers are elite, and there are many of them, if they really join the gang like this, then who is the lord and who is the minister?

He needs the support of the vassal king, but he is not willing to make a wedding dress for someone else in the end.

As in history, Zhu Di asked King Ning to draft a document for himself and ask Nanjing for his guilt, but when he said goodbye, he bribed his subordinates, took advantage of his unpreparedness, hijacked King Ning to seize control of the Daning army, and then used his seal of King Ning to issue a document to raise troops.

King Ning, it's the other way around!

At this point, Zhu Quan was completely coerced into the chariot of King Yan.

At this time, Fu Youde also led an army of 50,000 and went east out of Shaanxi. He was previously appointed as the general of Shaanxi Tuntian, and by the way guarded Xijing, at this time he was worshiped as the deputy general of the rebellion, and followed Feng Sheng to quell the rebellion.

And Dai Wang and Yan Keng are in front of Fu Youde.

In the face of Hongwu's famous generals, the two fought with Fu Youde, both sides suffered losses from each other, and neither side had a special advantage, but when Feng Shengjun showed signs of sending troops, they should even smear the soles of their feet.

Fortunately, at this time, King Yan rushed to help with the Daning army, the total strength of the Yan army reached 200,000, and the southern army was 170,000, and the Yan army even overwhelmed the southern army in terms of total strength.

The two famous generals have no fighting spirit, and now the strength of the two sides is evenly matched, they have famous generals on their own side, and the other party has Yan Wang Ning Wang to assist Zhu Wenzheng, which is not false.

So they adopted a new strategy - dragging. They set up camp and confronted the Yan army. After all, behind the southern army is the entire Ming Dynasty, which is constantly transporting resources, while the Yan army only has the territory of Wufu Jianing.

Their strategy was successful.

In the large camp of the Yan army, a meeting was being held.

Although the coach is Zhu Wenzheng, no one will not distinguish between primary and secondary, the main seat is the head of the kings, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the king of Ning is sitting at the head, and then Zhu Wenzheng and the generals.

Zhu Di's face was worried:

"Guys, is there a way to break the enemy? Now that the delay has been going on for a long time, the food and grass in the army are almost exhausted. ”

Obviously, he also realized the other party's thoughts, and now there are only two ways, one is to break the enemy quickly, so naturally there is no need to worry about food and grass; The other is the withdrawal of troops.

The generals looked at each other, the opponents were two famous generals, no one could give a sure way to win, even Zhu Wenzheng felt that the best way at this time was to hold on.

Seeing this, Zhu Di could only sigh:

"Since this is the case, then our army can only withdraw for the time being and make another plan."

There is no way, Zhu Di wants to support the 200,000 army for a long time, it is too reluctant.

"Can't be returned!" At this time, someone said loudly.

The generals followed the prestige and saw a sturdy young man standing up, his eyes blazing, it was Yan Keng.

"Your Highness, it is really difficult for us to resist a country with a corner."

He walked to the map, pointed to the fiefs of the vassal kings of the world in turn, and then looked at the kings:

"The only way to defeat is to unite all the vassal kings in the world. All kings work together, and they can change the heavens and the earth! However, now that the overall situation is not clear, the world is afraid of the prestige of the Song State and the Ying Kingdom, and does not dare to act rashly. As long as we hold them back for a few months, to show that the two princes are not invincible, then the kings will have no fear! ”

"Whether Jing Nan can succeed or not, whether we will be defeated and die or take Nanting and replace it, it will be at this moment!"

"So what!" The king was grumpy, and he stood up and said in a loud voice:

"Without food and grass, we just don't want to retreat, what can we do!"

Yan Keng smiled slightly, since he stood up, he had a plan. He gently spat out two words from his mouth:

"Cao Yun."

Hearing this, Zhu Di gently tapped the armrest with his fingers.

In fact, he didn't think about this method.
