Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 343 Gong Changhou who avoided the battle

Zhu Su's reluctance to go to Jianchang camp made Wang Zonglong a little panicked.

In his mind, these sergeants under Zhu Su's command were nothing more than patchwork motley troops, and they even brought prisoners with far more people than soldiers.According to common sense, this is already a big taboo for military strategists. If these captives rise up one after another during the march or when the enemy comes to attack, how can the Highnesses deal with it?
It is the best move to bring the troops and prisoners together into the Jianchang camp, and then the three His Highnesses and the adults should go back to Beijing, and those who should go home.

But this Highness obviously had made up his mind, and Wang Zonglong didn't dare to say anything more.Just think it was just a stubborn young man who said something in a fit of anger, and when Gong Chang Hou Guo Xing spoke, he would naturally take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.

As his soldiers and horses entered the city, there was an unavoidable flurry of chaos in Changli County. Zhu Su asked Wang Zonglong seemingly casually: "Like this city, how many other counties have been looted by the Naha Branch?"

"About... more than ten." Wang Zonglong replied.

"..." Zhu Su remained silent.

After a while, Fang said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go and see the army that Naha sent out."

……

Changli County is not far from Yongping Mansion City. Zhu Su and his party found a hilltop and looked towards Yongping Mansion from a distance: outside Yongping City, there were camps like clouds, flags like forests, and countless Yuanting soldiers were vaguely seen. Shuttle through the gaps between the camps, and the dust stirred up, even they who are far away here can clearly see it.

"There are so many people!" Zhu Xi who was beside him exclaimed.

Zhu Su himself was secretly startled.In all fairness, this was the first time he had seen such a large army.Although it was known early in the morning that Naha's headquarters had a strength of more than one hundred thousand, but in Zhu Su's mind, he didn't actually have a very specific concept of this "one hundred thousand".

Only now did he understand what a terrifying number this "one hundred thousand" is.

"These people were stationed under the Yongping Mansion, but they didn't take any action to attack the city. It seems that they really wanted to surround the site and send reinforcements." Zhu Di looked at the super large camp that accommodated more than [-] people, with a serious expression. cold.After a while, he turned around and asked Wang Zonglong, "Where is Gong Changhou's camp?"

"It's in that direction." Wang Zonglong pointed to a boundary far away from where Naha's camp was located.

"It's so far away." On the map, although Jianchangying is near Yongping Mansion, in reality, there is still a long distance, and there are even two rivers separating it.

When Gong Changhou chose such a place to camp, Zhu Su knew what he was thinking at a glance: It seems that this Gong Changhou didn't want to fight head-on with the Naha Police Department, so there were quite a few left in the camping place he chose. room for.

"Gong Changhou set up the military camp here, is it because he wants to stare at Naha from a distance?" Zhu Di said dissatisfied.

"...Uh." Wang Zonglong heard the displeasure in Zhu Di's words, so he didn't dare to say more.

After watching for a while, they were about to go back home, but Di Meng stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, there is a small group of cavalry approaching in the distance. Judging from the flags, it is my Daming's army."

Hearing this, Zhu Su stretched out his binoculars, and saw that there was indeed a small troop of cavalry approaching here. On the flying flag, the words "Gongchang Hou Guo" were extremely eye-catching.

"Minister Guo Xing, I have met His Highness King Qin, His Highness King Yan, and His Highness King Wu." His voice came before anyone could reach him. Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongchang, was also a rough-looking man, but he had a pair that didn't quite match his heroic figure. His slender eyes always seemed to be planning something.Seeing Wang Qi of Zhu Su and the others from a distance, he flew off his horse beautifully, showing the demeanor of a warrior on the battlefield.

Zhu Su glanced at Wang Zonglong, knowing that he secretly reported to Guo Xing in Jianchang camp, but he thought that this person was also worried about their safety, so he didn't attack them in person.After looking at each other with the two elder brothers, he went up to meet him: "I waited to take a look at the enemy's situation, but unexpectedly I was so tired that Master Hou came here in person. I've waited too long."

"Your Majesty's golden body has been cherished by His Majesty in Beijing for a long time. As His Majesty's servants, how can we not share your worries?" Gong Changhou Guo Xing laughed loudly, and the two groups of people reminisced about the past, and the scene was momentary It's fun.

Guo Xing asked Zhu Su and others about the journey, and learned that they were accidentally forced to land in Liaodong and helped Dingliao guards recover Shanhaiguan. , Naha's defeat is certain!" Then he immediately turned his head and ordered behind him: "Let the camp send 2 people quickly, and we must assist Dingliao guards to guard Shanhaiguan, and completely cut off Naha's escape route back to Liaodong. "

"Yes." The orderly responded abruptly, and Zhu Su also nodded.It is really difficult to defend Shanhaiguan by relying on the Dingliao Guard who is already a remnant soldier. If Ji Town is willing to send people to help defend, that would be great.

"Since Naha's way out is cut off, when will Gong Changhou want to send troops to destroy his generation?" It was Zhu Di who came out and asked.

"I have my own plan for this matter." Gong Changhou's eyes flashed an inexplicable light, and then he said with a smile: "I should send someone to send the three highnesses back to Shuntian. The soldiers here are dangerous and fierce. The three highnesses It is not advisable to stay longer."

"It's not urgent." Zhu Su interrupted Guo Xing directly. "It's a rare opportunity. The three of us, the three of us, want to see each other for a while longer. Even if we can help you, Gong Changhou, that would be good."

"..." Guo Xing's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled again: "In that case, please invite the three Highnesses to the minister's Jianchang camp..."

"That's unnecessary." This time it was Zhu Di who interrupted. "I'll wait on the outskirts, and you can echo Gong Changhou from a distance. If Nahachu learns that the way back has been cut off, he will break up and loot the people in order to raise food and grass."

"I just happen to be waiting, maybe I can stop one or two."

This sentence almost directly named Guo Xingyong's heavy troops and did not act. Guo Xing's face was a little ugly, and he said: "The three highnesses don't know anything. Anyone who engages in military affairs will affect the whole body."

"If you stay in this dangerous place, if Naha goes out to lead the army to attack, what can you do?"

"Our army and Naha's army was at a stalemate with each other. If the three His Highnesses were in danger, we had to send troops to rescue them, thus delaying the battle... Such a crime, could the Three Highnesses bear it?"

"You..." Hearing what he said, Zhu Xi's face immediately changed. Zhu Su hurriedly held him back, and said coldly: "I will know the seriousness. If there is nothing I can do, I will naturally take people away thousands of miles. I also saw Shi Guo Hou Ye can seize the opportunity and give Naha a blow to the tail when he is attracted by us, so that we can end the war in the north of Ming Dynasty earlier."
