Bright Spring

He Fu and Ping'an also got a letter, so they scraped off the lacquer seal and circulated it one after another.

Ping An looked at it and said, "What do you mean? We have to wait for the reinforcements from the provinces to arrive...Didn't Duke Wei just lead the reinforcements?"

Just as Wu Zhong wanted to speak, when he turned around and saw Xu Huizu's face was blushing, he stopped talking.

Pingan frowned and asked again: "Duke Wei, what is your Majesty's will?"

Xu Huizu sighed for a long time and said: "Order me to lead the army back to the court immediately."

For a while, no one in the tent spoke, and there was a long silence, and the atmosphere was very strange.Ping An walked back and forth on the ground, looked at Wu Zhong and said, "Someone must be slandering! Eunuch Wu, who came up with this idea in front of the Holy One?"

Wu Zhongdao: "Our family doesn't know! General Ping, don't worry, the emperor has trouble sleeping and eating day and night, and he always remembers the soldiers in front. The emperor has issued an order to urge the troops of all provinces. Once the soldiers and horses arrive in the capital, immediately Cross the river to reinforce you."

Ping An was annoyed: "When will we wait? Half a year ago, it was said that there was a large army coming to help. Now, except for General He, only Wei Guogong is here, and he will go back soon?"

Wu Zhongdao: "General Ping waits for a few more months, there will be a steady stream of soldiers crossing the river..."

He Fu grabbed Ping'an, clasped his fists and said to Wu Zhong: "General Ping also wants to share the worries of the Holy One and contribute to the court, and he is a little anxious. Wu Gonghai is a little bit, and he will be Ping'an's mute when he returns to the court, and he didn't say anything!"

Wu Zhong nodded and said: "Our family understands. Alas, it is our family who sees the emperor getting thinner with worry, and feels uncomfortable in my heart!"

On the contrary, it was Xu Huizu who was silent and blushing, which was very scary.Wu Zhong paid attention to him from time to time, and finally reminded softly: "Duke Wei must obey the imperial edict?"

Xu Huizu finally spoke: "I am loyal to the imperial court, how could I disobey the imperial decree? But please, Eunuch Wu, please help me to ask the Holy Majesty, can I fight another battle? After the battle, I will immediately lead the army back to the imperial court."

Wu Zhong frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, why don't you understand? What you hold is the last bit of property in the Beijing camp. The emperor is worried about a slight mistake!"

Xu Huizu endured for so long without saying a word, just trying to think of a way, and now he was furious: "Tell the official who came up with the idea, if you don't destroy Yan Ni, the whole court will make mistakes sooner or later!"

Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "I hope Mr. Xu will obey the imperial decree. Our family's errands are finished, so let's leave!"

Chapter 132 The Sound of Lingbi's Cannon 1

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu actually led his army away!

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, he felt confused at first.Occasionally, he feels that his thinking is different from that of people of this era, and he cannot understand some ideas of the ancients...

But after arriving in King Yan's army, Zhu Gaoxu learned that it wasn't that the imperial court had some incomprehensible clever strategy, but it was just a mistake of the imperial court!

The military generals in the big tent changed from the depression they had been two days ago, and everyone was noisy and laughed loudly from time to time.

King Yan was describing in detail the details of the scene where Emperor Ming made this decision, why there was a corridor from Ganqingmen to Dongnuange, and how many people were there, as if he saw it with his own eyes from afar... The traitor of Prince Yan's mansion Spy, no small matter.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Neng's exaggerated big mouth when he laughed, and suddenly felt a sense of trance.

There is no destiny in this world, and there is no wheel of fate... King Yan's victory is not predestined at all, it depends on luck and chance many times!Just like this time, if it wasn't for Xu Huizu's sudden transfer, even if it was half a month later, the Beijun would really drink a pot.

Zhu Gaoxu only felt that the situation was fluctuating too fast. Yesterday he felt that the situation could not be opened, but today there is hope again.He rejoiced with everyone, but also worried that he would be happy too early, and tomorrow would be a pit?

King Yan said: "Ping'an, He Fufang moved to Lingbi. The time has come, and our army will look for a decisive battle!"

"My lord is wise!" Everyone said one after another.

King Yan turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, "This time Gaoxu is the vanguard, and he first went to Lingbi to test the military situation."

Zhu Gaoxu hastily bowed: "Your servant takes orders!"

In the battle of Qi Meishan, although Zhu Gaoxu was not a forward, he became a forward inexplicably in the end; Yan Wang seemed to be very satisfied with his performance, and this time he became a legitimate forward.

... Zhu Gaoxu sent his scouts across the river, and then led his cavalry across the pontoon bridge.

This time, Zhu Gaoxu did not bring any infantry under Wei Da's command, and the forward army was all cavalry...ready to run away at any time.

Although Xu Huizu's men left, He Fu and Ping'an still had more than [-] people.Zhu Gaoxu's men and horses were very different from the officers and soldiers. He was worried that the officers and soldiers would counterattack, so he only led the cavalry to go.

The general of the army, Ping An, yelled a sentence on the battlefield, which was very reasonable: If the cavalry does not run away, is it still called cavalry?

In the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu received a report from the scouts: "The officers and soldiers are overhauling the fortifications in Lingbi!"

So Zhu Gaoxu ordered Zhang Wu to temporarily take charge of the forward military power, and he took a team of one hundred households with his own soldiers, and rushed to Lingbi with light soldiers, wanting to see what happened with his own eyes.When he was approaching Lingbi, he bumped into a ranger from the official army, but the ranger didn't dare to come up.

Approaching Lingbi, Zhu Gaoxu saw the situation of the army camp, and sure enough, he saw the dust flying outside the county, just like a construction site!

As the sun was setting, Zhu Gaoxu covered his eyes with his hands and carefully observed the construction site to the west.There are a lot of officers and soldiers working, the earthen walls and fences have begun to take shape, and deep trenches have been dug outside the walls. Seeing this, Ping An, why don't you want to fight in the field and want to defend?

At this moment, the black shadows of three light cavalry appeared under the light of the setting sun, and gradually approached, one of them shouted: "Your Majesty, the large army of cavalry has left the city gate!"

"Let's go!" Zhu Gaoxu yelled immediately, then turned his horse's head and dodged people.

Zhu Gaoxu ran so fast with his soldiers that he didn't even see the shadow of the pursuers.The sun was gradually setting, and when he returned to the front camp, it was completely dark, and Zhang Wu had already deployed his generals to set up the camp.

Zhang Wu, Wang Bin and others greeted Zhu Gaoxu from the gate of the barracks and brought him to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Lingbi won't be able to fight for a while, the officers and soldiers have built high walls and deep trenches." Zhu Gaoxu walked into the tent and immediately said something.He sat on the bench, picked up the iron cup and drank plain water.

Zhang Wudao: "Ping'an chased here from Shandong, and He Fu joined forces with more than [-] troops. In the battle of Xiaohe in Suishui, the two of them led the army to fight our division, and they were not defeated. I am afraid that King Yan would not dare to leave. This army doesn't care."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement, and said again, "Ping An He Fu suddenly built trenches and barriers, meaning that he doesn't want to fight for the time being, and wants to delay the battle? But the army has a problem. How can a warehouse in a small county town in Lingbi be able to afford it?" 10,000+ army?"

"Zhao Ping!" Zhu Gaoxu called outside the account.

A tall and thin young man walked in, clasped his fists and said, "I'm here, my lord please give me instructions."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "I'd better write it down in my own handwriting. You can find two familiar brothers and send the letter to King Yan's army overnight tonight!"

"Obey!" Zhao Ping said.

So Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to bring paper and ink, and began to write letters.

After considering his words, he raised his head and said to Zhang Wu and the others, "Ping'an is repairing the fortifications, and there will definitely be people transporting grain to Lingbi. It is not the time to attack the official army's camp, so the road to grain must be cut off first." "The officers and soldiers have nothing to eat, so I'll see how long Ping An can stay behind the trench!"

Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said, "King Gao Yang is getting better at using troops."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "General Zhang, you don't need to understand the art of war for these things. You can figure it out after a little more thought. Since my father and king said that they want to fight a decisive battle with the army, can't they take a big loss and attack the trenches and barriers? We must first force peace." Come out, pack up before it's too late!"

After he finished writing the letter, he burned the lacquer to seal both ends, and then sealed it with a seal. When the lacquer hardened, he gave Zhao Ping some instructions.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu did not order the camp to be withdrawn.He felt that it would be useless to go to Lingbi now, and it would take time and effort for the soldiers to build the camp, so it would be better to just stay where the camp was built yesterday.

Before noon, Zhao Ping and others came back on horseback, and Zhao Ping reported: "Go back to the prince, and the king of Yan personally accepted the letter. After the king of Yan read the letter, he asked the younger one to take a message: Gao... King Gaoyang said well, I have already read the letter." Send Tan Qing to the south to cut off the official army food road."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said, "I see, you go and rest."

"Yes, the little one retire."

Zhu Gaoxu called Chen Dachui and told him to send some more scouts, disguised as civilians, to set off at night to hide near the official camp and monitor the enemy's movements.

Before this group of people set off, a scout came back from the front and suddenly reported: "The officers and soldiers rode out of the camp and headed south!"
