Bright Spring

What Zhang Fu said made some sense.However, the main force of the Annan army in Duobang City was destroyed, and Shenglong, the important town in the eastern capital of Annan Kingdom, was already looking for something, and there was no need for a quick attack...but who will attack Shenglong?Zhang Fu's position is closer to Shenglong to the east, so he must want to take the great work of Shenglong himself? !

Thang Long, the eastern capital, used to be the capital of Annan Kingdom, and now it is also the accompanying capital.To capture this city, fame and military achievements are no small matter... Zhu Gaoxu said that he does not need military achievements, but in his heart he didn't want to.

But he also considered that Zhang Fu took it down after a tough battle in Duobang City; at this time, if Zhu Gaoxu went to pick peaches, it seemed a bit too much.

Zhu Gaoxu made a quick decision, wrote a simple reply letter, and ordered Zhang Fu to march to Shenglong.Then he gave the letter to the messenger to take back.

"Chen Xingwang didn't come back?" Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to send the messenger away, and immediately asked directly.

Ruan Zhi said: "My lord, the general has found the whereabouts of the queen, and Chen Xingwang has gone to see the queen. Therefore, only the general and Jin brothers rushed back to report."

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up a little, "I really found it! Where is she and what's going on?"

The whereabouts of Queen Annan's whereabouts, there are many contradictions and mist in the news everywhere, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being curious, and couldn't wait to know the truth.

Ruan Zhi replied: "The queen is not in the palace of her natal Chen clan.

The last general waited until Shenglong City, and secretly inquired about the news, but he had no clue for a month.Later, the general heard that the Ming army was besieging Duobang City, and Duobang City was not far from Thang Long.We decided to give up the errand and return to Duobang City first.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the general learned the news that Li Li's manor near Thang Long was besieged by troops sent by Zuo Xiangguo Hu Yuancheng!At the end of the day, I met some people in the officialdom of Shenglong, and after many inquiries, I learned the inside story.

It turned out that it was not the Chen clan who redeemed the queen, but Li Li, a powerful man in the western capital.The fact that Li Li hid the queen was accidentally revealed, and Hu Yuancheng besieged his manor and was about to search it.

When Chen Xingwang heard that the queen was in Lili Manor, he desperately tried to sneak in despite dissuasion.The general had no choice but to leave Shenglong as soon as possible, and wanted to report the truth to the prince as soon as possible.We were captured by Ming army scouts near Duobang City.After a military general inquired about Brother Jin's background, he sent people to escort us to the prince's camp. "

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he suddenly said: "I thought for a long time that the Chen family would definitely not be able to keep the queen. It turns out that the queen has found someone else to help. I heard that the Hu family used to be named Li, so is Li Li and the false king Hu's family?"

Ruan Zhidao: "According to the general's knowledge, they may be related, but they are not relatives. However, Li Li's grandfather was a powerful family in Qinghua, the western capital, and now the Li family dog ​​breeds tens of thousands of Ding family generals, and the power cannot be tolerated." Peep."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Will Li Li compromise with Mrs. Hu and hand over the queen?"

Ruan Zhi said: "The end will not be known."

"Come on!" Zhu Gaoxu called out.Zhao Ping, the chief executive, walked in from the door, clasped his fists and said, "What orders does the lord have?"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, hesitated to speak, and suddenly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.He stood up from the chair, walked back and forth a few steps, pressed his hands on the square table, flicked the map on the table, looked at it for a while and asked, "Is Li Li Manor outside Thang Long City?"

Zhao Ping looked blank.

Ruan Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Outside Shenglong City, more than ten li to the southeast."

Shenglong City is located on the west bank of the big river, surrounded by a vast plain, except for the big river in the northeast, there is no danger for a hundred miles around!

Zhu Gaoxu quickly thought about various things in his mind.

He now has exactly [-] cavalry elite soldiers in his hand, and he has already assembled the army; he was originally going to deal with the reinforcements of Annan's army in Xishan, and he can be mobilized immediately.

However, Annan's army suffered a devastating blow in Duobang City, and it was difficult to mobilize heavy troops for a while.If Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to Shenglong immediately, Zhang Fu would definitely be so nervous; there is no need to urge Zhang Fu's army to come to Shenglong soon... Besides, who can stop it in the wilderness around Shenglong Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry?

Zhu Gaoxu patted the picture with his palm, and said: "Wei Da came to see. I ordered Wang Bin to gather in the Xishan camp to ride out the camp immediately!"

"Order!"

After a while, there was the sound of "bang dang" from the armor outside the door. Wei Da walked to the door of the tile house. He handed the sword to the guards, strode in and saluted the army: "The last general is ordered to come and pay respects to the prince!"

Zhu Gaoxu took out a gold seal, took a few breaths, stamped it vigorously on the wet paper, and said: "Commander Wei took over the military power of the Xishan Camp, and transferred the cavalry of Li Rang in Duobang City to the west, and also handed it over to Wei. Command and lead. If the enemy's reinforcements come from the west mountain, you will fight and defeat them!"

Wei Da clasped his fists and said, "The last general will be ordered!"

...Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to the east, and it was not yet noon when the cavalry left the camp.

The Xishan garrison is only more than a hundred miles away from Thang Long City, and the cavalry approached the southeast of Thang Long City along the plain road.When everyone arrived at Li's Manor, the sun was already approaching the horizon of the western sky.

General Wang Bin asked Zhu Gaoxu if he would choose a place to camp and fight tomorrow.Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, and asked Ruan Zhi to take him, and a group of people approached Li's Manor to inspect it.

A group of people arrived at the west side of the manor, and the setting sun was shining on the complex of buildings in the distance from behind.Li's Manor looks a bit majestic, it does not occupy a large area, but it is surrounded by rammed city walls, gate towers and watchtowers, just like a fortress.

Sure enough, there were a large number of Annan troops besieging outside. At this time, those Annan troops should have detected the approach of the Ming army and were gathering troops to the west of the manor.

Na Lili is a powerful Qinghua, even if he has a lot of power, his foundation is not in Shenglong, so he will definitely not be able to stop the army's attack.Hu Yuancheng sent so many troops to besiege his manor, how many days did he still not do anything?What's even weirder is that Li Li has not compromised after being besieged for several days. In this case, what kind of conditions is Li Li negotiating on?

Zhu Gaoxu watched silently for a while, then suddenly turned his head and said to Wang Bin: "The order is passed on, Li Li is very ambitious, all officers and men who catch this man will be rewarded!"

Wang Bin said: "The last general will immediately send someone to send orders to the generals."

Zhu Gaoxu said long ago that the throne of King Annan is pending, and many ambitious people will have thoughts.This Li Li is obviously one of them!

There is only one explanation for the weird situation in Li's Manor: Li Li is covering up his ambitions and defrauding Hu Yuancheng!

Why Hu Yuancheng's men didn't attack the manor immediately, it was naturally because they didn't want to easily have a grudge with Qinghua's powerful Li family.Even if Li Liwo|hid the Chen family, as long as he did not show obvious ambitions to replace the Hu family, Hu Yuancheng would think twice.

But Li Li grasped Hu's thoughts.If he is threatened and immediately compromises and surrenders the queen, then the motive for hiding the queen is obvious, it is nothing more than power and position; since it is for power and position, of course there is no pressure to sacrifice the queen... But Li Li's approach Very bold, he was still dead after being besieged for a few days | stubbornly refused to hand over, looking like he was going to die for the queen.

In this way, Hu Yuancheng will be confused instead, and he will have an illusion: Li Li is so daring to act as a nest|Queen of Tibet, it may be because he is bewitched by beauty, that's why he is so crazy|crazy!

If Li Li's motivation is the latter, the Hu family can obviously compromise.That's why the two sides will ink|trace until now?

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe Li Li at all, even if he didn't know him!

The Annan soldiers and horses in the distance have withdrawn from the encirclement, and they are gradually forming formations in the direction of the Ming army, as if they are about to face the Ming army.They have a large number of infantry, and now they may not be able to escape even if they want to run away.In addition, there are cavalry?

The cavalry horses of Annan's army are very short, but they are still cavalry.Zhu Gaoxu waited and watched for a while, with a smile on his face, he immediately turned his horse's head, and shouted: "Prepare to attack, end the battle before dark."

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the army with a small team of cavalry, deployed briefly, and saved tactics.They only asked the forward two groups of light cavalry to rush to the enemy's two wings, and after riding their bows and shooting, they immediately went around to the two sides of the manor to take over the encirclement that Annan's army had withdrawn...of course it was for Li Li.

He took a long-handled horse | knife from Zhao Ping and tied it to his back, and then took an iron shield and a long | spear.The firearms of Annan's army were relatively sharp. Zhu Gaoxu was wearing three layers of armor and holding a pair of shields.

Zhu Gaoxu raised the cherry gun and waved it forward.

"Kill!" A general shouted, and led the troops to dispatch from the left.The right-wing Qingqi also started the horseshoe.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the colorful tiger-skin war horse and started to walk, and the riders quickly entered the state of jogging.On the main road and in the vegetable fields, the sound of horseshoes gradually roared.

Chapter 3 Nineteen

The Ming army came from the west, and the former Queen Annan, Queen Chen, went up to the gate tower and stood there watching the situation outside.

Mrs. Chen was wearing an ordinary purple silk robe, which was somewhat similar to the Central Plains Hanfu.The high waist made her figure look taller and slender, and the soft silk material showed her uneven figure beautifully.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still dazzling, facing Chen's face, making her big eyes in the deep eye sockets unable to fully open.Her forehead is flat and smooth, her face is dignified and beautiful, her black temple hair and jade-white skin seem to be shrouded in a faint streamer in the orange light.

Chen didn't say a word, very silent, but his eyes were attracted by the scene outside the wall.On the big banner with "Han" written on it, the cavalry of the King of Han in the Ming Dynasty wore tiger skins and galloped on the flat field like a herd of beasts, with roaring horseshoes and a magnificent momentum.

She quickly identified who was Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.Chen has been in the palace all year round, she understands what a king looks like in a crowd, and how the people around him will follow.

The king of Han is riding a tall, colorful horse, and he seems angry because he is the fastest.

Without the slightest hesitation, the King of Han charged at the Hu family's cavalry of the Annan Army.In the blink of an eye, before the guards around King Han had time to catch up, he suddenly knocked off the two Annan riders and charged straight away from among the five or six riders.
