Chapter 245: Loyalty at the End

"Rush! Keep Geng Bingwen's old barbarian for me, and I will personally capture him! ”

"Kill!!"

"The armies defend themselves and slowly withdraw into the left flank camp!"

The battle cry resounded in the north of the Hutuo River, stirring up the clouds above and crushing the morale of the Southern Army.

Like the southern army of the long snake, their flanks were exposed to the front of the horse infantry of the northern Yan army, and the front army needed to face the impact of the cavalry led by Zhu Di.

The time left for Geng Bingwen could hardly be said to be almost none, and he had just issued a military order when he watched with his own eyes as tens of thousands of horse infantry from the north broke through the waist of the southern army, and hundreds of pikemen were crushed before they could form a formation.

Without waiting for them to form a follow-up formation, they found that the Yan army's horse infantry was followed by thousands of pikemen attacking in dense formations.

They held on and killed the wounded and crushed Southern army, and succeeded in cutting off the 60,000-strong army.

"Shoot the arrow!"

"Remember to leave Geng Bingwen's old barbarian for me!"

At the same time that the 60,000 army was cut off, Zhu Di in the west cooperated with Zhang Yu to launch a surprise attack, using bows and arrows to break through at close range, killing and injuring a large number of southern troops.

Geng Bingwen, Ning Zhong and others were cut off on the left flank, and more than 30,000 people should have been able to form a formation to protect themselves, but a large number of Yan cavalry broke through the middle and lower-level generals, resulting in disorder in the command of each department, Geng Bingwen's military orders could not be implemented, and the entire army became fish and meat on Zhu Di's caseboard, slaughtered at will.

"The headquarters withdraws, and the rest of the soldiers and horses can keep up!"

Geng Bingwen stabilized his headquarters of less than 10,000 people and began to retreat towards the Hutuo River pontoon bridge in the south, and some quick-eyed southern troops began to follow, but more southern troops were cut off again by the Yan cavalry.

The 60,000 people were cut into three parts at one time, except for Geng Bingwen's department, which could still form a formation to defend against the enemy, the other two divisions had already been in disarray, and they were repeatedly harvested in front of the Yan army's pikemen, horse infantry, and cavalry.

"Intercept Geng Bingwen, that old barbarian!"

Zhu Di has been paying attention to Geng Bingwen's movements, and after discovering that his Daxu is east of the south, he quickly sounded the horn cannon and led the reacting Yan cavalry straight to Geng Bingwen's team of less than 10,000 people.

They had come to a pontoon bridge and formed a spear formation to fend off the enemy.

It's just that the Yan cavalry they guarded against did not attack rashly, because Zhang Yu, who had cut off the southern army, had already rushed to kill with tens of thousands of horse infantry who had dismounted.

With the pride of the Southern Army's spear array being torn open, Zhu Di no longer hesitated, and led the cavalry to change into long soldiers to launch an impact formation, and bravely rushed to kill.

Nearly 10,000 pikemen were cut off by the cavalry because of a gap, and Zhang Yusuo led the pikemen to follow closely behind the cavalry, dividing the tens of thousands of southern troops again.

The army of 60,000 was divided into four parts, and Geng Bingwen's Daxu was also exposed to Zhu Di's eyes.

"Changxinghou!"

Zhu Di shouted, but when he saw someone turning around, he hurriedly shot at the door in front of him with a bow in his hand.

"Uhh

The person who was shot was not Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, but a thousand-household official who followed him.

But just by looking back at this moment, Zhu Di already knew where Geng Bingwen was.

He led the cavalry to rush the horses onto the pontoon bridge, disregarding his own safety and shooting arrows continuously.

His arrows were followed by dozens of cavalry to his left and right.

For a while, arrows rained down, and although Geng Bingwen was protected by guards, he and Ning Zhong and others were squeezed off the pontoon bridge.

They climbed to the shore of the north bank of the Hutuo River in disarray, and the pikemen led by Zhang Yusuo had surrounded them.

The commanding generals of the Southern Army, except for Wu Jie and Li Jian, were all surrounded.

At this moment, the victory of the Yan army had been decided, and some soldiers of the Southern Army who followed Geng Bingwen watched the Yan army's arrogant celebration of victory, and their hearts were full of despair.

They finally understood that they were so weak and defenseless when facing the Yan army.

"Haha! Changxinghou, don't come to harm! ”

"Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen has been captured! Those who descend do not kill!! ”

"Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen has been captured! Those who descend do not kill!! ”

Zhu Di jumped down the Hutuo River on horseback happily, flowing ashore on the river, and the shouts of the Yan army also sounded all around, causing the Southern Army to riot even more.

Facing Zhu Di, who was looking at him condescendingly, Geng Bingwen laughed at himself: "I never thought that the old man had fought all his life, but today he was defeated by you." ”

"There's no shame in losing to me." Zhu Di was complacent, he was still very happy to be able to defeat a famous general like Geng Bingwen, after all, the gold content was much higher than that of Naier Buhua, Ha Rawu and others.

"How did you end up on the west side of our army?"

Geng Bingwen's eyes were calm, as if he had admitted the fact of his defeat.

In this regard, Zhu Di glanced at several other pontoon bridges and the southern army who were constantly fleeing to Zhending City on the south bank, Zhang Yu understood and hurriedly went to surrender.

After Zhang Yu left, Zhu Di spoke: "I let people tell you that I want to fight from Wuji, but you don't believe it, I just want to leave." ”

"Therefore, I crossed the Hutuo River, went around the south of Zhending all night, and finally went around to your northwest, and while your people were still having breakfast, I led my troops to raid into your formation."

Zhu Di explained how he appeared in the northwest of the Southern Army, and Geng Bingwen couldn't help but sigh after hearing it: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the old man lost unjustly today." ”

"Hehe, it's nothing to lose, I think it's my father who doesn't do anything and sent you to me, I sincerely want to ask you to help me Qingjun, what do you think?"

For a veteran like Geng Bingwen, Zhu Di was naturally hot, he tried to appease Geng Bingwen, and Geng Bingwen also laughed dryly:

"If Emperor Gao sees the old man defeated, I'm afraid he will only point at the old man's nose and scold the old man for being confused."

As he said this, his hand rested on the hilt of his sword, and he quickly drew his sword and placed it around his neck.

"The old man has no face to His Majesty, and would rather be loyal than a thief."

"Wait!!"

Before Zhu Di's words fell, Geng Bingwen had already killed himself, and blood stained Ning Zhong's body and Zhu Di's feet.

Stationed in Changxing for more than ten years, Zhang Shicheng was so heroic that he could not get close, and several Northern Expeditions were made, and Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, who broke the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the fishing sea, died.

Seeing him kill himself, Zhu Di, Zhu Neng, Ma He and others were stunned, especially Zhu Di.

After a while, he slowly came back to his senses, looked at the fallen corpse, and his expression was complicated: "Let's bury it thickly, the rest will be taken into custody, and as for those who are willing to surrender, I will treat them like parents and will not be held accountable." ”

At this moment, he lost the joy of defeating Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, and only confusion and complexity remained.

He turned his horse's head and left, while Zhu Neng and the others took the captured Ning Zhong and others into custody and began to hype the news on the battlefield that the Southern Army was defeated and Geng Bingwen died in the battle.

For a time, the southern army staying on the north bank surrendered carefully, and only Wu Jie led more than 30,000 people who had just calmed down, and more than 20,000 defeated troops withdrew to Zhending City on the south bank.

In this battle, the Yan army won a complete victory, and the 200,000 southern army was defeated in several fierce battles such as Xiongxian, Yueyangqiao, Mozhou, Wuji, and Zhending, and only less than 60,000 people fled into Zhending City.

Counting the original 10,000 defenders, only half of the 150,000 Zhending army before the war was withdrawn, and the rest were captured by the Yan army.

It's just that for the Yan army, which only has 20,000 people, this number of prisoners close to three times that of them is obviously difficult to manage.

After Zhu Di rested in Geng Bingwen's tent for a quarter of an hour, when he came out, he saw that the Yan army was raising a butcher's knife against some of the soldiers.

"Wait! What are you going to do? ”

Zhu Di was angry and bloody, and rushed forward to stop the group of people, and the group of people also looked at each other.

Seeing Zhu Di come out, Tan Yuan and the others, who had been waiting for him, hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, these are all people who tried to escape after surrendering, and they should be beheaded according to military law." ”

"Fart!" Zhu Di scolded: "You should be killed only if you fight and escape from the Beiyu, this is your own family!" ”

After Zhu Di finished scolding, he immediately let people loosen their ties, and at the same time said to Tan Yuan and others: "These soldiers are all Han like you, they all have parents, brothers, wives and children, and it is normal for people to want to go home." ”

"Now you go and tell everyone to stop, and tell the prisoners, but if anyone wants to go south and go home, tell our army clearly, and our army will issue rations and send them out of the country."

"If you flee without telling the story, and it is captured by the sentinels, then you will deal with it again."

"Yes......" Hearing Zhu Di say this, Tan Yuan was also very helpless, he really didn't have a good impression of this group of Southern Army soldiers who were still fighting with them a moment ago, and just wanted to kill them all to vent his anger.

However, when this group of southern soldiers heard Zhu Di's words, their noses were sour, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "We didn't have the heart to be enemies of Your Highness, but we just served as soldiers to eat food, and the court asked us to come, so we had to come." ”

"Today, I have received your great grace from Your Highness and have been able to live, so naturally I should repay my kindness, how dare I dare to think of running away?"

"We will join the army today and go south with His Highness to fight the world."

This group of soldiers didn't know culture, but they said that they wanted to fight the world with Zhu Di, which made Zhu Di quickly interrupt after hearing it:

"You are all my father's people, and today you are raising troops just to get rid of the courtiers."

"You came to the north to fight, but you were forcibly driven by the traitors in the court, and you have no choice but to do it, how can I hurt you."

"You said you would stay with me, but in this case, your parents and wives don't know whether you are alive or not, so they can only be afraid."

"If you want to repay my kindness, it is not too late to report it when the traitor is removed in the future, the most important thing now is to go home and appease his wife and children."

Zhu Di comforted the soldiers, he naturally wanted these tens of thousands of soldiers, but the families of these soldiers were all in the south, and he couldn't tell when he would rebel.

At such times, I don't dare to keep them.

"Although we don't know culture, we also know how to repay our kindness, please ask Your Highness to accept us, otherwise if you go to the south, you may have to be taken for desertion."

Zhu Di didn't dare to accept them, but they insisted that Zhu Di accept them.

This scene was seen by Zhang Yu and others who rushed over, and they looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, why don't you move them to Baoding?" ”

"That's okay......" Zhu Di still coveted this group of people after all, and chose to keep them after weighing them.

"How many soldiers have fled back to the south, have you counted?"

Zhu Di asked Zhang Yu about the matter, that is, to take Zhending City, but Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "There are too many soldiers who have fled back, I'm afraid there are no less than forty or fifty thousand, if you want to attack it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it in a short time." ”

"But despite this, we have also seized hundreds of thousands of stone grain and tens of thousands of sets of armor, weapons, and some firearms in the northern camp."

"Your Highness can transport these things back to Beiping, just to solve the urgent needs of His Royal Highness."

"That's just as well." Zhu Di was reminded by Zhang Yu and remembered Zhu Gaoxu, who was confused because of food.

It's just his reminder that Zhu Di also thought of Geng Xuan, who was guarding Shenyang, and even thought of Geng Bingwen, who had just killed himself.

"Tell Gao Xu about the Marquis of Changxing, I hope that Geng Xuan will surrender, so that Gao Xu can transfer more soldiers and horses into the customs."

"Yes!" Zhang Yu responded, and then began to arrange for the more than 60,000 captives to escort supplies north.

As for Zhu Di, he led more than 3,000 cavalry to surround Zhending City, and at the same time sent other cavalry to search for many soldiers who had fallen behind before.

There were 33,000 men when they set out, but only about 20,000 arrived at the battlefield, and many of them were left behind on the way, and if they encountered the Southern army, they might be intercepted and killed.

Zhu Di defeated Geng Bingwen, and this news was sent south by Li Jian before he besieged the city.

As for the news of Geng Bingwen's death, it was also known to Wu Jie and Li Jian in the follow-up news of the rout, and the two released dozens of flying pigeons and spread the news to the south.

When the news reached the capital, Zhu Di had already withdrawn to the north and did not think about attacking Zhending City, but for everyone in the capital, they were extremely confused, and their minds were blank.

"Spread the decree, and ordered a priest to govern the tomb, and give 300 hectares of Linhao Mountain, 2,000 tenants, 200 grave keepers, and 15 honor guard households, and fill them with Beijing guard soldiers."

"I want to personally make the text, and personally send the official Yu to sacrifice the Marquis of Changxing......"

In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was sad because Geng Bingwen was loyal to the country, or sad because he was defeated by the Yan army with his 200,000 army.

"Your Majesty Longen ......"

Standing in the hall, many Wenchen persuaded Zhu Yunwen with false affection, after all, Geng Bingwen belonged to the old Huaixi nobles, how Huaixi Wuxun bullied them back then, they still remembered it clearly, how could they be sad that Geng Bingwen was not in the array.

Not only was no one among them sad, but some people secretly scolded Geng Bingwen for being incompetent in their hearts, holding an army of more than 200,000 people, but he was defeated by Zhu Di with tens of thousands of people, and he ended up on the battlefield.

As for the emperor's longen towards Geng Bingwen, they naturally knew what it was for.

Although Geng Bingwen is dead, Geng Zhen is still holding back the Bohai rebels in Shenyang.

At present, Wu Sheng, Wu Shou'an, Liu Song, Liu Zhen and others have all arranged to withdraw from Liaodong, and only Geng Zhen has no way to withdraw.

In order to prevent him from leading troops to Zhu Gaoxu, he naturally had to be more favored.

It's just that this favor is not so easy to take, if he Geng Zhen is not martyred, I am afraid that he will not have the face to take this grace.

"Now that the Marquis of Changxing is not, how should the imperial court deal with the traitors?"

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and asked what he was most concerned about now.

In the face of problems, the ministers put forward a lot of suggestions, some recommended Mu Chun, some recommended Song Sheng, and some recommended Gu Cheng, He Fu, Chen Xuan, in short, there was no Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu, Yang Wen, Guo Ying and others.

This is not to say that the four of them are not good at leading troops to fight, but everyone knows very well that Li Jinglong asked Zhu Gaoxu for advice on how to settle the widow back then, and Xu Huizu is Zhu Di's brother-in-law and Zhu Gaoxu's uncle.

Yang Wen was recommended by Zhu Gaoxu, and Guo Ying was Zhu Gaoxu's grandfather.

You can recommend anyone, but it's not so appropriate to recommend the four of them.

There are many relationships, so they naturally don't recommend them, and Zhu Yunwen doesn't want anyone to recommend them.

It's just that in the face of the current predicament, Huang Zicheng opened his mouth and sang the opposite: "Right now, only Cao Guogong has the ability to turn the tide." ”

"Although the Zhending army was defeated, the imperial court still had nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses in Hebei, plus 90,000 troops such as Shangzhi Sixteen Wei and Leopard Taowei and Hezhou Wei in Zhili, and 40,000 reinforcements in Huguang and Sichuan, and there were also many soldiers and horses ......in each capital division."

"Together, these soldiers and horses can make up 400,000 numbers, and if they can liberate the southwest soldiers and horses, they may be able to make up 500,000 numbers."

As soon as Huang Zicheng spoke, Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "Why hasn't the Daogan Meng in the southwest been pacified until now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty......" Huang Zicheng replied hurriedly: "The minister heard that some people in the Yunnan Metropolitan Division did not obey the military orders, which led to the continuous delay in the suppression of Dao Ganmeng. ”

Huang Zicheng said, and vaguely said the word "Fu" to Zhu Yunwen with his mouth.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen thought of the other force of Yunnan Dusi, the three Fu brothers.

These three brothers were in charge of the three soldiers and horses in northwest Yunnan, central Yunnan, and southeast Yunnan, and Zhu Yunwen had long wanted to get rid of them, but he was worried that they would respond to the rebellion in the north, so he did not take action for a long time.

Now these three brothers are grinding in the southwest to quell the rebellion, but it has made that knife dry Meng stumble for a few more months.

The attitude of the three brothers made Zhu Yunwen a little afraid to transfer Mu Chun, Xu Huizu, Qu Neng and others out of Yunnan, for fear that as soon as they left on the front foot, the three brothers would raise troops to rebel.

Who these three brothers hate the most, others don't know, but he Zhu Yunwen knows very well.

Thinking of these three brothers, Zhu Yunwen also thought of Yang Wen, Fu Rang and others who were transferred to Guangxi by himself.

"Recently, there has been a commotion in the old department of the Bohai Shu people?"

"Never." Qi Tai slowly spoke: "They are all under the command of Yang Dudu, in Guangxi to change the land and return to the stream, from the beginning of spring this year to the present, Guangxi 342 Tusi, 36 have been willing to accept the imperial court's land change and return to the stream, and there are 12 rebellions, raising tens of thousands of troops in the Taiping Mansion, and now Yang Dudu is fighting with the rebels. ”

"I heard that the commander made Yang Zhan's array disappear on the battlefield, so the commander of the Liangguang Water Division made Yang Li still wear mulberry and hemp to the north, which shows his loyalty to the imperial court."

Qi Tai opened his mouth to explain the affairs of Guangxi, among which Yang Zhan was not in the array, and Yang Yu wore Sangma to the north, which also made many Wenchen sigh.

These two fathers and sons are both promoted by Zhu Gaoxu, but they don't want them to do this for the imperial court.

"It seems that they know right from wrong, and they have no followers of traitors."

After Zhu Yunwen heard that Yang Zhan was killed, Yang Yu actually obeyed the will of the imperial court and went north, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Look at Zhu Gaoxu, this is the person you promoted, and he is not on the side of my righteousness."

He thought so, and at the same time lamented: "It's a pity for this loyal and brave man. ”

Zhu Yunwen regretted, and at the same time said: "Posthumously gifted the commander Yang Zhan as the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, hoping that his father Yang Yan can guard the sea frontier for the country." ”

"Your Majesty Longen......" Everyone sang one after another, and Huang Zicheng continued:

"Your Majesty, now you can let Cao Guogong take Zhili and other soldiers and horses to the north, and think of an army of 400,000, which is enough to quell the Yan rebellion."

"Hmm......" Zhu Yunwen did not agree directly, but set his eyes on Qi Tai.

Although he became more and more reluctant to see Qi Tai, Qi Tai was the only one in their group who was praised by his own imperial grandfather in military affairs.

Qi Tai felt Zhu Yunwen's gaze, and immediately said:

"The minister thinks that it is reasonable to enable the Cao State Public Guard to conquer the generals to control the 16 guards and horses, and at the same time to enable the Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao to control the Henan soldiers and horses, and the Marquis of Yue, Yu Tongyuan, to govern the 7,000 iron cavalry in Beijing, Leopard Taowei, Hezhou Wei, etc."

"In addition, Chen Hui and Teng Ju can be transferred from the northwest to march eastward with 7,000 Ganliangjing horses, and then Song Xuan, the son of Song Sheng, can be transferred to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses from Shaanxi to march eastward, and finally let Chen Xuan control Yang Yu to go north to Denglai and attack southern Liaoning."

"The minister has calculated, if you want to come like this, you can transfer 160,000 troops, plus the soldiers and horses between Zhending and Hejian, a total of 250,000 troops."

"Although the border troops in Yunnan cannot be mobilized, they can transfer troops and horses from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places to the north, and they can also get 50,000 troops, a total of 300,000 troops."

Qi Tai first talked about the soldiers and horses he wanted to transfer, and then began to talk about how he should fight.

"Our army has a large number of soldiers and abundant money and food, and now there is no money and grain in Daning and Liaodong to contain it, so we can completely take Baoding, Huailai, and Hejian, and take advantage of the advantages of the Juma River and the surrounding Yishui, Lushui, and Hutuo rivers, as well as the natural belt-like lakes, swamps, and depressions south of the Jiehe River, and deploy defenses layer by layer, and advance layer by layer."

"At that time, the imperial court can launch an attack on Beiping in a pincer shape from the west and south."

"Even if it fails, after retreating, you can use the Grand Canal to connect Cangzhou and Dezhou into a line to form an angle, and then garrison troops in the three cities of Baoding, Dingzhou, and Zhending to form an in-depth deployment."

"At the same time, Chen Hui, Teng Ju, Ping'an, Yu Tongyuan and other four nearly 20,000 elite cavalry were sent to disrupt production near Beiping, so that Chen Xuan could use the advantage of the sailor to attack and disturb southern Liaoning."

"As long as the rebels are exhausted, our army will win!"

Qi Tai has already thought of all the deployments that can be aimed at Zhu Di, and it can be said that if Zhu Di wants to win, they must first defeat the 300,000 army in front of them.

Except for the Southwest Corps and the Yang Wen Corps, which were not mobilized because of the three Fu brothers and the Guangxi Tusi, Qi Tai mobilized almost everything he could.

Zhu Yunwen also nodded when he heard this arrangement, and then frowned: "Since this is the case, let's do it according to this, I don't want to hear the word Yan Wei before the autumn harvest next year." ”

Zhu Yunwen gave time, that is, Li Jinglong must win before the autumn harvest of the second year of Jianwen.

Qi Tai didn't refute, just responded.

After a short time, one by one the transfer orders began to be transferred, and many veterans who were idle during the Hongwu years were activated one after another.

The sailors of Denglai, Yangtze River, and Liangguang who were at sea also received orders from the imperial court when they docked to replenish supplies.

In the port of Quanzhou, when the Quanzhou official stepped onto the deck and handed the order of the imperial court to a forty-year general wearing mulberry linen, he did not forget to advise:

"Your Majesty can be described as a favor to General Yang's family, and I hope that General Yang will serve his family and country well after he goes north."

"The last general will naturally fight to the death to serve Your Majesty!" Yang Li, who was wearing mulberry linen, returned the salute, and the Quanzhou official also smiled:

"Since this is the case, then the official will no longer stay, please go north to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, this official wishes the general a victory and an early rise."

"Governor Wang's Mansion walks slowly." Yang Li made gifts.

After the prefect of Quanzhou left, he straightened up.

Several Qianhu officials on the side said disdainfully: "He is only the fifth grade, and he actually dares to put on a lofty posture with you, the general, who is the third grade." ”

"Now that Wen Shengwu is weak, let's say a few words."

"Why can't we say that they are blessed in the south, let us go to the north and die."

Looking at the order in his hand and listening to the quarrel in his ear, Yang Li sighed and ignored the generals, turned around and left the place.

He returned to his cabin and took a deep breath before opening the door, finally slowly opening.

There was a person sitting in the boat room, and he was Yang Zhan, who had been posthumously presented by the imperial court as the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion.

"How's it going?"

Yang Zhan's face was pale, and he sat on the chair and didn't get up, as if he had injuries on his body.

"As you expected, the imperial court gathered 300,000 troops to prepare for another northern expedition, and we were also ordered by the imperial court to cross the sea to southern Liaoning to attack and disturb the Bohai ......"

Yang Li didn't finish speaking, maybe he didn't know how to call the other party, whether he should call the rebel, or something else.

He led the topic to Yang Zhan: "If it is discovered by others, my family may be connected." ”

These words made Yang Zhan's eyes narrow, and he calmly raised his head and looked at his father: "I won't harm you." ”

"Our family has an old relationship with His Royal Highness, even if the court gives favor now, once the counterinsurgency is over, our family will still be liquidated."

"But after all, that's an army of 300,000 ......" Yang Li hesitated, he was already very satisfied that he could be promoted from a hundred household officials to his current official position.

It's just that in the face of his hesitation, Yang Zhan got up, as if he was involved in the injury, and the expression on his face was hideous.

"You're wounded, get some rest." Yang Li pressed him down with peace of mind, but Yang Zhan grabbed his hand with a firm gaze:

"The 300,000 army is by no means the opponent of His Highness, and besides, my son doesn't ask you to go with me, as long as my son goes, it's enough."

"Anyway, in the eyes of the court, my son is dead."

"......" Listening to these words, Yang Li's expression was complicated: "Why do you have to help him, although he is kind to our family, but the price of your gratitude is too great." ”

Faced with this problem, Yang Zhan grabbed his father's hand: "My son said that His Royal Highness has the spirit of a son of heaven and will become a son of heaven!" ”

"Ming Taizong Record": "The upper rate rode across the Hutuo River to the west, and then crossed north to reach the West Mountain. ”

"The admiral rode 6,000 lightly, attacked his second battalion, Shi Bingwen sent the envoy out, Juezhi ran back, hurriedly started the bridge, our army broke the bridge rope and could not get up, Bingwen was captured several times, and fled to the point where he couldn't really come out."

"Shang led the cavalry to capture his right deputy general Governor Ning Zhong and Du Commander Liu Sui, beheaded more than 30,000 ranks, accumulated corpses and stuffed the moats, drowned those who filtered the Tuo River, obtained more than 20,000 horses, captured tens of thousands, and wanted to send the prisoners who were willing to stay and did not return, and the upper subordinates obeyed."

"Bohai Chronicle": "Taizong led the cavalry to break the true determination, Bingwen was not in the array, it was 20,000 to break 150,000, 30,000 beheaded, 20,000 horses, tens of thousands of prisoners, and the great joy of the news, and the soldiers were returned to southern Liaoning. ”

"Bohai Chronicle": "Zhan Wen raised troops, cheated death and fled north, and persuaded his father to say: "Bohai has the spirit of a son of heaven, and it will be successful"
