Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of the Gambling Country

Zhu Changwu trusts himself so much, and he doesn't look defenseless at all, where does he have the intention of deceiving himself?

I must have thought too much about it.

With such an idea, Bai Bangzheng followed in the footsteps of Zhu Changwu and entered the general's tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhu Changwu sat down with a golden sword, making it look like his general's tent. Then he looked at Bai Bangzheng and asked, "Brother Bai, but if there is anything, you might as well say it directly." ”

Originally, he wanted to ask in a detour tentatively, but since Zhu Changwu had said so, he had nothing to hesitate, so he asked, "General, when will we break through, it has been several days, and the general will be in a hurry." ”

Bai Bangzheng's attitude did not surprise Zhu Changwu, if he was not in a hurry, it would be a strange thing.

Bai Bangzheng is in a hurry, which means that Li Zicheng is in a hurry, which also shows in disguise that the current Li Zicheng still believes in his previous set of statements.

still thinks that he will choose to break through.

Whether it is a breakthrough or a stubborn defense, or no matter what Li Zicheng believes, Zhu Changwu is happy, what he is worried about is that the other party will guard against his counterattack.

Just from Bai Bangzheng's sentence, Zhu Changwu judged so many results, presumably this is what Li Zicheng, including Li Yan and others, did not expect at all.

"Hey, I'm also in a hurry, but Your Majesty hasn't made up his mind, no matter what, isn't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty here?"

Zhu Changwu said while sighing. This appearance fell into Bai Bangzheng's eyes, so that he did not have any doubts.

If it were him, of course, the emperor of a country would not easily choose to let it go.

Although he knew that the reason was not Zhu Changwu's body, Bai Bangzheng still couldn't help but ask, "General, if Your Majesty has always disagreed, will we have to defend the Beijing Division?" ”

"Of course not. Hehe, I have good news for you, Your Majesty, under my repeated persuasion, has agreed to the assault, and the time has been set, tomorrow night. Alas, you must also know that there are a lot of good things in the palace, we can break through and carry a knife by ourselves, but the emperor can't, he has too many good things to bring. ”

Zhu Changwu said this with a very happy look. Bai Bangzheng was also happy when he heard this, but then he had a question: "But the general, the last general didn't find out about any movement in the palace." ”

"Huh? How dare you inquire about the dynamics of the palace? Zhu Changwu's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked very unhappy.

"Nope! No. Bai Bangzheng knew that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly remedied: "Isn't it that the last general is also in a hurry, and he couldn't find the general for a while, so he sent someone to the palace to take a look." ”

"Okay, you can't do such things in the future, Your Majesty is the son of heaven, the lord of the world, what is he going to do, how can he talk to us who are courtiers." Zhu Changwu continued to reprimand.

"Yes, what the general said is that this time it was the last general who was reckless." Bai Bangzheng lowered his head, looking like he knew he was wrong.

"Well, it's wartime, and to say that your actions are inappropriate, they are nothing, and I know that you are anxious to make meritorious contributions. In that case, when Your Majesty travels tomorrow night, you will be by His Majesty's side and responsible for protection. Zhu Changwu's voice changed, and then he said another surprise that Bai Bangzheng did not expect.

"The end... Will the last will be by His Majesty's side to protect? Thinking that he had misheard, Bai Bangzheng hurriedly asked.

"Yes, this is something I've been thinking about for a long time. Anyway, the 2,000 Ming troops you brought this time were all fought against the thieves, and they can be regarded as elite divisions. Besides, as the only general of the King of Qin, what you have done must also be known to His Majesty. This time I arrange you over, and you can see Your Majesty in person, and when we break through and go to accompany Duying Tianfu, presumably glory and wealth are just around the corner, and when it comes, don't forget my recommendation to you. ”

Hearing that he could protect Chongzhen closely, Bai Bangzheng was very happy in his heart. At this time, I was looking at Zhu Changwu, no matter how I looked at it, he was a good person.

"Yes, don't worry, general, if the end of the day can soar, I will not forget your recommendation today." Bai Bangzheng hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.

"Good, good. In fact, putting you by His Majesty's side is also a trust in you. As you know, although we have recruited some soldiers in the city these days, they have not even been trained, so what kind of soldiers are they? I have already decided that tomorrow these people will stay in the city to attract the attention of the thieves, and then we will protect His Majesty from the siege and go to the capital. By the way, I've even chosen the route in the past few days, don't you know, those stupid thieves actually have a loophole in the encirclement, and we found it, and when the time comes, rush out from there, and ensure that it can be foolproof, hahaha. ”

Zhu Changwu was smiling proudly there, and Bai Bangzheng was also laughing on the side.

But he was thinking in his heart, what kind of loophole, this is clearly a trap set for you, but unfortunately you didn't even see it. Alas, then it's no wonder that I'm going to make an immortal deed when the time comes.

Bai Bangzheng was very happy, until he saw Zhu Changwu leave, his face was full of smiles.

It wasn't until Zhu Changwu really left the barracks that he restrained the smile on his face, and then said to a personal soldier beside him: "I'll write a letter now, and you will send it out of the city immediately, remember, this matter is important, and it must be sent to the hands of King Dashun in person, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, general, the little one understands." The soldiers hurriedly clenched their fists and agreed.

At this time, Bai Bangzheng thought that he had learned all of Zhu Changwu's plans, but he didn't know at all, what he knew was what Zhu Changwu intended to let him know.

In fact, all the information he had was wrong, and none of it was correct.

In the palace, Zhu Changwu came here again.

Tomorrow he is going to fight back, such a big thing, he must first inform Chongzhen to know, otherwise if it is really a big battle, don't scare the emperor, it will not be beautiful.

Still in Kunning Palace, Chongzhen met with Zhu Changwu.

For a while, Chongzhen seemed to really no longer think about the affairs of the court, and stayed here with Queen Zhou every day, and didn't go to other places, even his own Qianqing Palace no longer patronized.

"What? You're going to fight back tomorrow? ”

When he heard Zhu Changwu's report on the first day, Chongzhen himself was taken aback.

"Yes, we will start fighting back tomorrow at noon. The thieves would not have expected that they would be able to catch them off guard when the time came. Zhu Changwu stood there at this time, with a confident and calm face.

"But... Will it work? Chongzhen's face was worried, originally he wanted to say that this was not hitting a stone with an egg, but in order not to discourage Zhu Changwu's enthusiasm, he could only soften his tone a lot.

"Why not. When we attack suddenly, this is to take the lead, which is equivalent to occupying the time. ”

"After the conscription in the past few days, we already have 40,000 troops in our hands, and if we add today, the number of troops can reach at least 50,000. Although we are far inferior to the thieves, we are the army of justice, we are officers and soldiers, and this occupies a geographical advantage. ”

"Daming is orthodox in the world, and this time it is the thieves and bandits who are attacked. When the time comes, there will be rewards for killing the enemy, and there will even be military merits to ensure that the morale of the army is high. When the time comes, the dragon soldiers will take the lead and ensure that they can defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, so as to achieve the goal of severely damaging the morale of the thieves, then we will be equivalent to occupying the people again. ”

"The time, the place, the people are all here, and we will win this battle."

What Zhu Changwu said was extremely confident, but Chongzhen felt a little unreliable no matter how he listened to it.

After the development of the past few days, the number of soldiers in the Ming army has improved, but their combat effectiveness seems to be mediocre.

Many people have not even been trained, pointing to such an "army" can win a war?

Chongzhen was skeptical.

Seeing that Chongzhen still didn't speak, he didn't seem to have completely made up his mind, so Zhu Changwu had no choice but to say again: "Your Majesty, do we still have a choice now?" ”

"What... Meaning? Being asked by Zhu Changwu, Chongzhen was stunned.

"Your Majesty, we can use Bai Bangzheng to deceive Li Zicheng before, but it's okay for a day or two, and after a long time, the other party will inevitably notice it, and when that time comes, people will take the initiative to kill the door and start besieging the city, so it will become more difficult to hold the Beijing division with our existing troops."

"Instead of waiting for someone to knock on the door, let's strike first and go out. Taking advantage of the other party's defenselessness, the chances of winning are greater. Your Majesty, it is good for us to wait, but the problem is that the thieves will not allow it, so we have no choice now. ”

Zhu Changwu looked at Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair, and reasoned with the facts. In short, Chongzhen promised that he would send troops.

If Chongzhen didn't agree, he would still send troops.

This is also Zhu Changwu, who believes that one thing must be done, even if Chongzhen does not agree. If it were replaced by other courtiers, even if they had such thoughts, they would not dare to do so.

Seeing that Zhu Changwu's eyes were so firm, he thought of the environment he was in now. Chongzhen finally sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, then take a gamble." Say, let me do something? ”

Chongzhen knew that there was no way out, and now he could only gamble.

If you win, Daming will be worry-free for the time being.

If you lose, then you will return to the state you were in a few days ago, and you will still die.

"Hehe, Your Majesty Shengming." Sure enough, after agreeing to Zhu Changwu, people began to pat themselves again.
