The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Try brushing iron clothes as snow-colored (2)

A little later, Zhu Xi returned to Deyang Hall, untied the white cloak and handed it to Zhu Yu, but saw Zhu Chengbi moving the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard one after another, knowing that she was upset, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the slaves have already found out that Wu Liang came to commit the crime because the surplus in the country was almost robbed, and he resented Da Zhou for refusing to help, so he sent a small army to plunder the food and grass. The patrol army in Jizhou was almost wiped out, so that all the troops of the country were sent to attack Jizhou. The vanguard fled to attract the main force of Jizhou to join in. It happened that the road was covered by heavy snow and the sight was blocked. Commander Chen was defeated because of this. It's missing."

Zhu Chengbi frowned in thought, and slowly said: "Chen Ke and his sons rushed in this time, and they sent troops rashly without understanding Wuliang's military situation, and they were defeated like this."

Zhu Xi said: "The garrison in Jizhou doesn't have many soldiers. Now there are nearly [-] soldiers and horses. It's just that the dragons have no leader. They are worried that Chen Tong and his son will fall into Wu Liang's hands, so they stick to the city gate and come out. It's just that it's winter. Without reinforcements, I don’t know how many days we can last.”

Zhu Chengbi pondered and said: "Since Wuliang has been looted to such an extent, I am afraid that there is not enough food and grass. Now, the two sides are just consuming each other." That's it."

Zhu Yu hurriedly said: "Just now I was arguing about going to Jizhou. Doctor Liang came to see me just now, and prescribed a dose of calming soup for Di Ji to take. She is much better now, don't worry, empress."

Zhu Chengbi nodded: "Take good care of her first. We can't worry about things on the battlefield. Right now, we have to make some plans for Chengguang Palace."

Zhu Xi smiled knowingly: "Ling Wen is pretty clever, but Zhu Xiuyi may not be clear about what happened in Guanju Palace, the slaves will definitely let Chengguang Palace know the ins and outs."

Zhu Chengbi smiled lightly, and casually threw a few black and white chess pieces: "You don't need to know all of them, just point out one or two."

Prince Liang's mansion, a group of courtiers had already gathered here. After discussing the matter in Yiyuan Hall, although a preliminary opinion on sending troops has been reached, the matter of dispatching troops and generals is still left to the King of Liang. The courtiers are also well aware of this The emperor's health was less than one day, and he arrived at Liang Wang's mansion one after another to discuss the matter of sending troops, but there were also those who had political disagreements or senior seniors who were absent for some reason.

The prime minister, Xu Fujing, was an extremely personable minister, and he was granted the title of first-rank grand master. However, there was Lin Jianxiao, the Marquis of Boling, and Zhou Yizhen, the King of Liang, and the position of prime minister was in vain. Walking the birds, or tending the flowers and plants, is also carefree.

Zhu Qizhenjian stepped into his seat, glanced at the officials present as if inadvertently, and sneered secretly in his heart, Xu Fujing was really an old fox, he tried his best to put himself away from the center of power, no wonder the Bolinghou party and the Xia family successively Downfall, he is not affected.

At this moment, the main hall of Prince Liang's mansion was brightly lit, and all the officials were only waiting for King Liang to take his seat. After a while, Yi Chen walked in with a memorial made of bright yellow sticky noodles, and all the officials hurriedly stood up to greet him: "My lord is well!"

Yi Chen hummed, waved his hands to let the ministers sit down, and said loudly: "You should also understand what the emperor means. Right now, the city is blocked by heavy snow, and the news cannot be spread, but Jizhou can't be wasted. To send troops, only the Shenji Battalion can still be called."

Zhu Qizhen was startled, got up quickly and replied: "The total number of elite divisions in Shenji Battalion and Xiaoqi Battalion was originally only 8000 people. Although a lot of troops have been added now, no more than 1 people, Wuliang's army has a total of [-] troops." Soldiers and horses, it is not a pity for mediocre ministers to be alone, I am afraid that they will not be able to break the siege of Jizhou, let alone attract wolves into the house."

Jiang Chengyu snorted, squinted at Zhu Qizhen and said, "Master Zhu, are you afraid?"

Zhu Qizhen clasped his fists and said: "Master Jiang is joking, he sacrificed his life for the country, and Zhu's death is not a pity."

Qi Zhengsheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War, frowned and thought about it, and questioned: "Is it true that Wuliang's army has a number of one hundred thousand? I heard that Wuliang has been fighting against Hehe all year round. The so-called one hundred thousand army is probably just a bluff, not to mention being trapped in Jizhou. It has been seven or eight days since the beginning, and the soldiers camped and besieged the city in the cold and snow must have been quite difficult, even if Wu Liang poured all the strength of the whole country, he might not be able to hold on." Qi Zhengsheng left his seat and clasped his fists, begging Yichen, "My minister I would like to go to the Jizhou battlefield with Shenjiying to kill the enemy, I have been to Jizhou, and I am quite familiar with Jizhou's defense, mountains and rivers, and I hope the prince will grant it!"

Sun Chuanzong also stood up and clasped his fists together: "I am also willing to use the strength of the Xiaoqi Battalion to go to Jizhou with the Shenji Battalion!"

Jiang Chengyu glanced at Qi Zhengsheng, and said slowly: "Although what Lord Qi said is somewhat true, but Wuliang is at the end of his rope now, I'm afraid that one counts as ten."

Yi Zhen glanced at Jiang Chengyu, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is in front of us, there is no point in boosting the enemy's ambition!"

After finishing speaking, Yizhen looked at Sun Chuanzong again, and said: "We will allocate [-]% of the troops of the Xiaoqi Battalion to go to Jizhou with the Shenji Battalion, but Sun Chuanzong doesn't have to go, and you need to maintain the defense of the capital."

Yizheng dutifully clasped the table, taking a panoramic view of the expressions of the people in the hall. Even though he is currently in charge of the state affairs, his seniority is not deep after all. , and took this opportunity to eradicate dissidents together!Anyone who dares to talk about his own judgment behind his back, or even write a letter to the emperor secretly, will know it clearly.

Sun Chuanzong was a little helpless, but he didn't dare to resist, he could only cup his hands and said: "Because the prince loves you, I will do my best to not let the prince be distracted."

Yizhen nodded, thought for a moment, and then Fang Yang said: "The emperor trusts me and gives me full power to handle the Jizhou military affairs. In this case, I appointed Qi Zhengsheng as the general of Zhenbei, with two troops on the left and right. Each has a commander-in-chief, Zhu Qizhen leads the left wing, and leads the elite divisions of the Shenji Battalion and Xiaoqi Battalion, and Li Jingren leads the right wing, and this king will assign you the Fifth Army Battalion in Shanhaiguan for your dispatch."

Zhu Qizhen was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that although Li Jingren was the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, he would be so appreciated by Yichen. Not to mention being equal to him, he could even lead the Fifth Army Battalion in Shanhaiguan, but he didn't think too much about it right now. After all, he had never led an army in battle, so he was naturally not suitable to lead two groups of soldiers. Qi Zhengsheng was familiar with the art of war, came from a family of generals, and held an important position in the military department, so he was indeed more powerful.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen and Li Jingren knelt down with Qi Zhengsheng, clasped their fists and said: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Yi Zhen waved his hand to get them up, and stood up suddenly, with a voice like a bell: "Murong Jiong and the King of Xiangcheng are both in the southwest, and the country's elite troops are also in the southwest, but this does not mean that we will lose the initiative in the Jizhou battlefield. , Wuliang junior, nothing to worry about! Tomorrow, the king will personally practice for you! As a soldier, he will raise his soldiers for a thousand days, and only wait for the time to use them. This battle will definitely hit Huanglong! The ice and snow in Mobei, what are you doing? , give this king Ma Tawuliang!"

"I'm waiting for orders!"

After returning to the Shenji Camp, Zhu Qizhen began to prepare armaments and supplies, and drew up a list of combatants. The entire Shenji Camp was also bright as day, and it was full of people's voices and non-stop traffic.

The Shenji Battalion is responsible for the important task of "guarding the capital inside and preparing for war outside", and is a strategic mobile force directly commanded by the imperial court.Now, it has been several years since he went out to fight in Beijing. From the commander and admiral to the ministers, from the middle to the ministers of the five armies of the Zhongjun, Zuoye, Youye, Zuoxiao, and Youxiao, and down to the ordinary soldiers, everyone is gearing up. Kill to Jizhou.

Sun Chuanzong saw that Zhu Qizhen took out the cotton armor, and he couldn't help showing a little envy: "The Shenji Battalion is still fully equipped, and even the armor has been divided into several sets. But then again, the King of Liang didn't allow me to go to Jizhou this time, but Let Li Jingren be the right-wing soldier, I am really jealous."

Zhu Qizhen sneered: "If you feel that you have nothing to do, then think carefully about when this Li Jingren will win the attention of King Liang."

Sun Chuanzong lazily picked up the "Overview of the Eight Formation" on the desk: "I'm not a fool, so I'll find out, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to use Li Jingren in the Xiaoqi camp in the future."

Zhu Qizhen stared in thought, and said for a moment: "This time I have to send troops. I didn't want to leave Beijing, but the mansion is boring right now. What's more, King Liang promised me that if I can win the army, I will be allowed to join the military department." serve."

Sun Chuanzong was stunned: "It is extremely rare to be able to join the military department, but swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, so you should pay more attention to yourself."

Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly, and turned to look at Sun Chuanzong: "For some days, you have been avoiding me, what is the reason?"

Sun Chuanzong looked sideways slightly, and didn't want to say more, but it was Han Yuefeng, the deputy commander, who came in and said: "Master Zhu, Chen Zhengze, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, is asking to see you."

"Let him in!"

With a few snowflakes on Chen Zhengze's shoulders, he lifted the curtain and rushed in, with an unconcealable radiant joy all over his face: "Master Zhu! It's done! It's done!"

Sun Chuanzong was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What charades are you playing?"

Zhu Qizhen patted Chen Zhengze's shoulders hard, and said with a laugh: "Chuanzong, you have avoided me these few days, but it is your loss. Do you know how much Chen Zhengze has helped me?" Zhu Qizhen's eyes They are all colors of great joy, shining like stars filling the sky, "Lianzhu cannons are powerful, but there is a [-]% chance of being a squib, and a [-]% chance of being bombed. It's fine to defend the city. If it's used offensively, It is very easy to lose control of the formation." Zhu Qizhen paused slightly, his eyes flashed, "Chen Zhengze is good at building things, but not just building houses."

Chen Zhengze wiped the sweat from his forehead, his cheeks were flushed, and he raised his voice: "The chance of my minister's tiger squatting cannon blowing up is less than one in a thousand, but its effect is far greater than that of Dalian Pearl Cannon and General Zhankou." above."

Sun Chuanzong frowned slightly: "As soon as you leave the army, will your tiger cannon come in handy in time?"

Chen Zhengze clasped his fists and smiled: "There are currently ten cannons, but that's enough!"
