"Ugunai! Don't farm! His Highness was surrounded by officers and soldiers from the south, and said that he would tie His Highness away! ”

"What did you say?!"

"All the people in the Ayan Department are going with me!!"

Inside and outside the city of Jilin, under the deliberate spread of the Yishu people, the Jurchens and Han people, who had been hostile to the officers and soldiers led by Zheng Gongzhi, picked up farm tools and rushed to the Bohai Palace.

"Kill!!"

On the square of the Carrier Palace, the square that can accommodate thousands of people is crowded at the moment, and the Bohai soldiers are fighting with the officers and soldiers of Liaodong.

At the gate of the palace, more than 100 soldiers and horses of Liaodong closed the gate of the palace, and Wang Rong and others fought hard.

Two thousand against three hundred, from the square of the carrier hall to the inside of the carrier hall.

Zhu Gaoxu lost double armor, and broke into the enemy battle alone, fighting back and forth, killing dozens of people in a row.

"Those who descend will not be killed!!"

Swinging his shovel and smashing over several people, Zhu Gaoxu shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Liaodong Prefecture on the left and right rushed up and came in all directions.

The Liaodong soldiers on the square continued to pour into the hall, and the usually wide carrying hall was crowded with people fighting at the moment.

Hundreds of Bohai soldiers formed a formation to fight and leaned towards Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu fought bravely, and no one joined the enemy.

The voices of surrender came and went, as if the Bohai Sea was the one with more people at the moment.

"The hall is too small to form a formation! Exit all!! ”

Liu Wu, who had a broken arm, held the broken arm and escorted Zheng Gongzhi out of the carrying hall.

With his command, the Liaodong soldiers began to withdraw from the carrier hall, and Zhu Gaoxu led the Bohai soldiers to pursue them.

When he passed by the temple gate, he grabbed the twenty-four pounds of iron spear hidden here.

Standing on the platform, he looked at the Liaodong soldiers who were carrying Liu Wu and Zheng Gongzhi and retreated to the square, and simply wiped the blood on his face.

Under the backdrop of dozens of Bohai soldiers chasing out beside him, his figure looked very tall.

Obviously using a blunt weapon, but he can do the whole armor stained with blood, such an image makes the Liaodong soldiers afraid and uneasy.

The two sides rarely maintained a certain silence, and the three hundred royal palace guards surrounded more than a thousand Liaodong soldiers.

The Bohai soldiers were waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's orders, and the Liaodong soldiers were also watching him and fearing him.

It is said that since Zhu Gaoxu has decided to raise troops, he cannot be indecisive, and should kill all these Liaodong soldiers.

However, after wiping the blood stains on his face, Zhu Gaoxu did not act, but glanced at the blood on his face, and indifferently looked down at the Liaodong soldiers who were several times his size.

If he does not move, no one dares to move......

"What are you doing! The terrain here is open, and the Bohai Shu people are quickly captured! ”

Liu Wu endured the pain of a broken arm and gave orders to the Quartet.

More than ten soldiers went to the high platform to kill, but when they were a few steps away from Zhu Gaoxu, they stopped under Zhu Gaoxu's eyes and did not dare to step forward.

"Emperor Taizu Gao left an ancestral motto during his lifetime: there are no ministers in the court, and there is evil in it, so he will train soldiers to fight against him, and he will clean up the evil on the side of the monarch!"

"This calamity is compelling, and if you really want to survive, you have to ...... it"

Zhu Gaoxu saw that the Liaodong soldiers did not dare to make a move, so he opened his mouth and said the words of "Emperor Ming Zuxun" left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and explained his hardships to the Liaodong soldiers.

"Brothers of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division! Are there any people who will fight with me in Jixiguan? ”

Zhu Gaoxu moved out of Jixi Pass, because almost all the surviving Liaodong soldiers in that battle were promoted.

Sure enough, under his mouth, there was a moment of commotion in the ranks of the Liaodong soldiers.

"Since you've fought side by side with me, don't you know who I am?!"

He questioned loudly, and many people bowed their heads in guilt.

They naturally know who Zhu Gaoxu is.

In the first battle of Jixi Pass, Zhu Gaoxu paid them a reward from the treasury, and its richness does not need to be described.

"I hereby swear, this time the army is really a helpless move, it is difficult to enter the pass in the south, and there will be no offense with the people along the way, where my soldiers pass, the military households will divide the field equally, and abolish their army tuntian, do not want to be dismissed for the soldiers, and those who do not want to go south to the civil war will be on the border in situ."

"Your family is still waiting for you to go back, don't you really want to be my enemy?!"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice fell, and he also raised his legs and walked down the steps, his steps approaching, but he made the Liaodong soldiers retreat step by step.

But all the veterans who have been in the army for more than three years, who have never heard the colorful story of the soldiers returning to the Jixi Pass, and who does not know the three armies of Wang Yongguan of Bohai County.

If they were still a story before, then Zhu Gaoxu's fight in the carrier hall was enough to prove it again.

The soldiers who fell under him were not to mention dozens, and the death of those people could be seen from the blood stained by Zhu Gaoxu's armor.

Who would doubt him if he could use a blunt soldier like this.

"The people of Bohai don't talk nonsense! If you were obedient now, you would still be able to avoid the past......"

Zheng Gongzhi was calming the army's heart, but the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, because he saw Zhu Gaoxu's searching gaze.

When he and Zhu Gaoxu looked at each other, even though they were dozens of steps apart, he still shrunk his neck in fear.

"Your Highness!!"

"Your Highness, are you in there?!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside the Bohai Palace, and the sound entered the palace and echoed in the carrying hall.

Some of them were speaking official language, and some were speaking the language of the Jurchens in various places, and their voices echoed brilliantly, coming from all directions.

Outside the palace of the Bohai king, tens of thousands of Bohai people gathered in the hands of hoes, farm tools, and some hunting bows for hunting.

They surrounded the Bohai Palace, and it was difficult for even birds to fly out of this range.

Their shouts made the confidence of the Liaodong soldiers gradually weakened, because they knew that it was difficult for them to take Zhu Gaoxu, and if they couldn't take Zhu Gaoxu, it would be impossible to break through.

"I say it again!!"

Zhu Gaoxu held a gun in one hand and an iron shovel in the other, and he spoke loudly and looked around.

"If you are a brother who does not want to be my enemy, let down your sword and scatter to the right and left, I will not blame you!"

"If there is still someone with a sword in his hand to help this minister plot to kill me, there will be no mercy!!"

When the words fell, Zhu Gaoxu accelerated the speed of stepping off the high platform and fought bravely.

The twenty-four-pound heavy iron spear was waved by him with one hand, but it smashed over one person in an instant, and without waiting for the left and right reactions, the iron shovel in his left hand also smashed down.

In the middle of breathing, four or five people were smashed, their faces were blurred with blood, and the sound of bones breaking was terrifying.

Without a spear in his hand, the military formation of the Liaodong soldiers was not easy to break for Zhu Gaoxu.

Under his leadership, three hundred Bohai soldiers pounced on the Liaodong soldiers who were several times his size.

"Your Highness! I still remember Jixiguan Liu Zhao! ”

"Remember! Ji Xiguan was injured in three places and beheaded at the seventh level! It's my good brother! ”

"But drop your weapon, and wait for me to kill this courtier and drink and catch up with you!!"

A flag officer had the courage to shout, but he didn't want to really get a response, and the response was extremely detailed.

"Lao Tzu is not fighting!"

"The king of Bohai County is a virtuous king, and he has given the brothers a reward that the court has not given, so don't fight!"

In the middle of the military array, someone actually dropped his weapons and scattered to the left and right of the carrier hall square.

"A bunch of lazy soldiers! Is this how you guys do to the court?! ”

Zheng Gongzhi scolded, and the surrounding Liaodong soldiers turned black when they heard this.

These days, they have been tossed by Zheng Gongzhi a lot.

They marched more than 60 miles a day, from Yinshi to Youshi, for eight full hours, and it took an hour to complete the camp when they arrived at the place where they were stationed.

When they can rest, it is already a matter of time, and after lying down for only three hours, they have to be called by this guy to hurry, and now this person still has the face to call himself a lazy soldier......

For a while, the sound of weapons dropped around suddenly increased, and Zheng Gongzhi's voice also stopped abruptly.

As the soldiers dispersed, there were fewer and fewer soldiers guarding Zheng Gongzhi, and Zhu Gaoxu was still fighting head-on, and the soldiers in front of him were out of breath.

Wherever Zhu Gaoxu passed, the soldiers' weapons were knocked away, their armor was smashed apart, and they were either killed or wounded.

Gradually, some people could not resist and began to drop their weapons in the front and surrender.

As soon as the signal of surrender is heard, people around them will rush to follow suit.

No one would want to fight Zhu Gaoxu as an enemy, they know very well that they are worth their catties.

Therefore, after a moment of the sound of weapons landing, the soldiers left by Zheng Gongzhi's side became fewer and fewer, and gradually there were only more than ten people.

"Where are you going?! Don't want to think about your family?! ”

Zheng Gongzhi used his family to restrain the soldiers, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold a person, but the person directly shook him off after hearing this, and kicked him at the same time.

"To be a soldier for you is death, surrender is also death, Ye would rather surrender than help you!"

"Lao Tzu has already died in battle, who knows that Lao Tzu has surrendered to the enemy!"

The sound of abuse came from all around, and Liu Wu and the others standing next to Zheng Gongzhi didn't know what Zheng Gongzhi had done along the way, so they only felt very ridiculous.

Two thousand people could not take three hundred......

"Hahaha......" Liu Wu laughed helplessly, and he took the initiative to pick up a knife from the ground and handed it to Zheng Gongzhi.

"Angel, it is better to kill yourself than to fall into his hands."

Liu Wu knew very well what happened when he fell into Zhu Gaoxu's hands, so after explaining, he fell down by himself.

The blood sprayed Zheng Gongzhi's face, and he was stimulated by the picture of Liu Wu killing himself and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Angels?"

When Zhu Gaoxu's voice sounded behind him, he turned around and looked up, only to see Zhu Gaoxu looking down at him.

"Bohai ...... Bohai Junwang ...... You ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Gaoxu raise the iron shovel, and before he could finish speaking, the iron shovel fell, smashing his heavenly spirit cover, and even smashing half of his head.

Red and white things splashed, and the soldiers who had not surrendered around were terrified.

When Zhu Gaoxu glanced at them, they consciously dropped their weapons.

"In this battle, all the soldiers in Liaodong have been killed, you don't have to worry about your family!"

"The whole army packed up and went south with me in three days!!"

Zhu Gaoxu shouted hard, which made the surrounding soldiers relax.

"Liu Wu, you dog!!"

Wang Rong's shouting and scolding sounded, and when Zhu Gaoxu heard the sound, he saw him kicking Liu Wu's corpse and smashing his hammer into his face, blurring his flesh and blood.

"Your Highness, this dog thing killed itself!"

Wang Rong turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and immediately pointed to Liu Wu's corpse and said: "The corpse is chopped up and fed to the fish, and the head is cut off and inserted on the mark, so as to prove that the Liaodong soldiers have been wiped out." ”

After that, Zhu Gaoxu looked around and instructed Wang Rong: "Take the brothers in Liaodong to clean up the battlefield, and those who are not dead will be sent to the hospital for treatment." ”

"Liu Zhao!!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted that he was the first to surrender earlier, and soon saw a familiar face in his twenties coming out and waving at him: "Your Highness! ”

"Promote you to be the official of a thousand households, temporarily command the brothers in Liaodong, and go to Changchun with the army in three days."

"Your Highness!" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Liu Zhao hurriedly spoke: "At present, eight out of ten Liaodong soldiers are going north with the Marquis of Jiangyin from Changchun, 30,000 guards are empty, and the remaining soldiers are still our own brothers, as long as you ride away, you will definitely be able to take 30,000 guards!" ”

Liu Zhao's information was very timely, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at Wang Rong after hearing it.

Although Wang Rong had not participated in the Battle of Jixi Pass, he had heard a lot of the tragedy of that battle from his father Wang Yi, so he bowed his head: "Your Highness, as soon as you give an order, we will go south with you!" ”

"Give you 1,000 horses, choose 500 soldiers and horses to go south, if you take 30,000 guards, you will be the commander of 30,000 guards, and all the brothers who go with you will be promoted to the third rank!"

Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate, and directly asked Liu Zhao to choose five hundred trustworthy brothers to ride south.

This trust made Liu Zhao grateful, and that reward also made Liu Zhao's blood surge.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Zhao will definitely win 30,000 guards for you!"

"I believe you, wait until you take us and we'll drink!"

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Wang Rong hurriedly followed when he saw this.

After walking away, Wang Rong said anxiously: "Your Highness, why don't you let me follow?" ”

"If this Liu Zhao returned to 30,000 Wei and told the news of the Liaodong Dusi, wouldn't it be impossible to hide the matter of our army?"

"I can't hide it." Zhu Gaoxu said as he walked: "Then Wu Gao is resourceful, it will take three days for us to send troops at the earliest, and it will take two days to arrive at Changchun, if Wu Gao sees that Zheng Gongzhi is wrong, do you think he will continue to go north?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe that Wu Gao would be so easy to deal with, if it was really that easy to deal with, then Zhu Di would not use the discord strategy to deal with him.

"Can you win the 30,000 guards......" Wang Rong asked after the empowerment.

"If you can win the best, you can't do anything if you can't take it, it's just a loss of a thousand horses, anyway, your father and they still have two days to return to Jilin City."

"In addition, you asked someone to send a message to Wu Gao, saying that the cutting of the feudal domain was successful, and let him enter the army according to the original plan."

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the Cunxin Palace, and Wang Rong also stopped when he saw this.

He saw Zhu Gaoxu walk into the front bedroom door, and he ran back to the Carrier Hall Square, ready to clean up the mess.

When he left, Zhu Gaoxu also walked into the front bedroom door under the fearful gaze of the two pure soldiers.

Just walking in here, he saw Guo Yan and Yishaha sitting at the door of the hall and more than a dozen pure soldiers.

Except for Yishaha, all of them looked at him in fear, all because of the blood stained armor on his body, like a dead general who climbed up from the underworld.

"Your Highness!!"

Guo Yan couldn't sit still, she hurriedly got up and ran towards Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Gaochu stopped her in advance: "I'm not injured, prepare hot water for me to wash." ”

Guo Yan didn't care, stepped forward and hugged him who was stained with blood, but he didn't dislike it when he was covered in dirty blood.

"Prepare a few more buckets of hot water......

Seeing that both of them were stained with blood, Yisha gave orders to the two pure soldiers, and shook his head helplessly.

"Why do you have to get your clothes dirty......"

Zhu Gaoxu also smiled bitterly, but Guo Yan saw a lot of sunken nail pieces on him, and looked up in distress: "Is it really not injured?" ”

"At best, it's just some bruises." Zhu Gaoxu grabbed her hand and walked towards the hall.

After a while, the hot water that had been prepared in advance was carried into the bathhouse in buckets.

When the two had finished washing and everyone gathered in the former dormitory, two maidservants combed their hair.

Yizha looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Wang Rong came just now, one hundred and seventy-two brothers from Liaodong died, twenty-seven of our brothers died, and four hundred and fifty-seven were wounded on both sides. ”

"Then Liu Zhao has already taken people out to get horses, and he chose our own people to go south, and he didn't bring the brothers from Liaodong."

"Brothers in Liaodong, the slaves and maids have asked Wang Rong to take them to the treasury to transport grain to make military rations."

Yi Shiha explained everything that happened when Zhu Gaochu was washing, and Guo Yan also saw that Zhu Gaochu was not injured, but only had seven bruises, so he grabbed him and said, "When is Your Highness going south?" ”

"...... in three days" Zhu Gaoxu thought without thinking: "Before the war, I had already sent letters to Chen Chang and Meng Zhang, and I thought that they would arrive in two days. ”

Due to the existence of Liu Wu and others, Zhu Gaoxu and others were unable to make large-scale military rations in advance, for fear of leaking the news.

Now that Liu Wu and others are dead, and Hu Lun and others have already picketed the rest of the Jinyi guards, they must be able to hide from Wu Gao for a day or two.

"If you can win 30,000 guards, then Wu Gao shouldn't be worried, right?" Yisha asked Zhu Gaoxu, but he shook his head:

"Taking 30,000 guards is at most slowing down the speed of Wu Gao's army returning to Liaodong, if he is prepared, Liu Zhao may not be able to take 30,000 guards."

"But if we really win 30,000 guards, then the food in it may be able to tide us over the current predicament."

The dilemma Zhu Gaoxu said is nothing more than grain, and the grain in the Bohai Sea can last until the ninth day of June, but that is normal.

At present, tens of thousands of troops are about to go south, and if they want to prepare enough military rations for a month, at least a lot of food will be lost.

Zhu Gaoxu had to enter Liaodong within a month and obtain one or two reserve warehouses.

Fu Rang told Zhu Gaoxu about the situation of the Liaodong reserve warehouse, a Wei reserve warehouse basically has 5 to 150,000 stone of grain, if you can take a reserve warehouse for the reserve of the military tun, then more than 100,000 people in Bohai can last an extra month and a half.

If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to coordinate the three armies, and there was a shortage of soldiers and horses in Jilin City, Zhu Gaoxu would probably personally lead his troops to 30,000 guards.

"Wait, it's only three days, and it's going to be ...... soon."

He sighed, and Guo Yan also pulled Zhu Gaoxu back to reality with a word: "We have raised troops, what will happen to Beiping?" ”

"......" her inquiry made Zhu Gaoxu silent for a moment: "If my father was prepared, then even if I got the news, I would be able to start the army smoothly, but if my father was not prepared, then I could only resign myself to fate." ”

"The affairs of Beiping are too far away, we can't manage it, and at the moment I am only worried about Wu Gao."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the door, his eyebrows solemn.

Also when he was worried, with the passage of time, Wu Gao, who had not received news from Zheng Gongzhi for a day, began to worry.

On a low hill in the north of Changchun, a camp with nearly 70,000 people stretches for miles, and the people come and go to the camp gate, constantly transporting grain from the south.

They were also worried, but they were not worried about Zheng Gongzhi, but worried about whether they would meet Hu people on the way to the north to transport grain.

Compared with their worries, Wu Gao, who was in the handsome tent, looked at Geng Xuan: "Since I got the news at noon yesterday, there has been no news for fourteen hours now. ”

"Our camp has not changed, and even if we add the distance, it should not be two hours late."

Wu Gao smelled that something was wrong, and at this time, a commander walked in outside the tent.

"Master Hou, Zheng Gongzhi's messenger is here, they said that the cutting of the feudal domain went smoothly, and asked Master Hou to go to Jilin City according to the original plan."

"Bring people in, and I'll see them myself." Wu Gao opened his mouth without thinking, the commander was stunned, and Geng Zhen also opened his mouth to urge: "Go." ”

"Yes!" The commander responded, and soon came to the tent with a chief flag officer.

"I have seen the Marquis of Jiangyin ...... under the mark"

The chief flag officer knelt down, but Wu Gao stepped forward with a smile: "The cutting of the feudal domain was successful?" How is it successful? ”

"After we entered the city, there was Hu Lun, the official of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, as the internal response in the city, and Liu Qianhu controlled the city defense, so it was easy to surround the palace."

"The king of Bohai County rebelled and was suppressed and bound by Liu Qianhu's troops."

"During this period, the Bohai naval people besieged us, but Zheng Yushi threatened the king of Bohai County and temporarily let them retreat."

"It's just that although they retreated, they still surrounded the palace and didn't let us leave."

"And how did you leave?" Wu Gao was still smiling, and the chief flag officer also explained: "There is a drainage canal in Jilin City, and I climbed out of the palace along the mark, and then I found Liu Qianhu's brother to find a horse, so it was so late." ”

"Good ......" Wu Gao smiled and helped him up: "The old man will lead the army to Jilin City tomorrow, you can go back to Zheng Yushi with the news now." ”

"Yes......" the chief flag officer responded, and then withdrew from the tent.

Seeing this, Geng Zhen on the side also sighed: "I never thought that Zheng Gongzhi could really capture the king of Bohai County." ”

"Who said he caught it?" Wu Gao turned his head, the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a dignified color.

Looking at him like this, Geng Zhen frowned: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Have you ever seen a flag officer who can deliver a message so clearly?" Wu Gao asked Geng Xuan, and Geng Xuan also reacted: "Indeed, in the past, if the chief flag officer was suddenly received, he often did not choose to speak, and this person inevitably answered too fluently. ”

"I'm afraid it's already made up on the way here." Wu Gao snorted coldly and said, "If it's just this, I won't suspect anything, but don't you forget who Zheng Gongzhi is?" ”

"Then Zheng Gongzhi's small-bellied chicken intestines, if he really captures the king of Bohai County, do you think he will let us lead the troops to share the merits? I'm afraid that I didn't directly escort the king of Bohai County to take the drainage canal and go directly out of the city to the south. ”

"What do you mean......" Geng Zhen felt that something was wrong, and Wu Gao also decisively said: "Order the three armies to pull out the camp and return to the south to 30,000 guards." ”

He gave the order as he sat back in the manager's seat with a heavy heart.

"That Bohai County King is not easy to deal with, I have warned it a long time ago, but the imperial court is strong to cut the domain, and now I am afraid that Liaodong will rekindle the war."

Wu Gao's words made Geng Xuan bow his head, he had never fought with Zhu Gaoxu, he didn't know that he was terrifying, but Wu Gao was a little exaggerated.

However, whether it is exaggerated or not, I am afraid that he can only understand it when he sees Zhu Gaoxu with his own eyes......

"Bohai Chronicle": "Jianwenjun sent troops to cut the feudal domain unsuccessfully, Gongzhi was killed by the superiors, and the rest of the troops surrendered. ”

"Ming Shizong Record": "Jianwenjun sent troops to the Bohai Sea to cut the domain, but Gongzhi respected Jianwenjun's will to kill Jilin. His soldiers admired Bohai, and when they heard that Gongzhi wanted to kill, they turned against him, and Gao Wengongzhi was defeated and withdrew his army."
