Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu said disapprovingly: "Commander Wang, don't think that many soldiers are illiterate and easy to fool. Everyone knows how we do it."

At this time, a general came from outside the door, and said in a military salute: "My lord, there is an Annan man who came with a boatload of people, claiming to be Chen Shixian, the secretary of the Annan Kingdom, and bringing Princess Tianjia, the Chen clan's clan, with him!"

After Zhu Gaoxu listened, he glanced at the general Wang Bin who was sitting next to him: "Am I right?"

Wang Bin bowed down.

"Ask Ruan Zhi from Annan to come and meet Princess Annan with me." Zhu Gaoxu ordered.

A group of people came to the gate of Xingyuan... the entrance of the fishing village, and there was a memorial arch engraved with Chinese characters at the intersection.At this time, there was indeed a group of Annan people there, and they had already reached the bottom of the archway.In front of the crowd, stood an old man in official uniform; beside him was a woman in a silk robe and a veiled hat, not tall but very well-proportioned.

Zhu Gaoxu approached, and said: "I am the King of Han Dynasty, Princess Wen Tianjia, and Annan Guozhong Shuling are here, and I will come to greet you immediately."

The old man hastily stepped forward and said: "Your official, Chen Shixian, was coerced by the Hu Clan to the Western Capital, and now I heard that the King of the Ming Dynasty has marched here, and he hastily escorted Princess Tianjia to vote. I hope His Highness the King of Han will protect the clan!"

The woman lifted the veil and bowed gracefully, "Princess Tianjia of An Nanguo has met His Highness the King of Han."

Suddenly seeing her face, Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment.Because the Princess Tianjia in front of her is really good-looking, her facial features are very beautiful and symmetrical, and her skin is also very fair. Even though the Chen family has perished, this princess obviously did not suffer from physical suffering, and she looks thin and tender.I heard that there are many marriages between the Annan king's family and clan, and the marriages between close relatives are not fools, but indeed there are many beauties.

Princess Tianjia looked up at Zhu Gaoxu with a different look.Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure, and immediately said, "Please Annan Zhongshuling and Princess Tianjia to speak in the lobby."

Zhu Gaoxu and others welcomed the guests to the lobby of the Zhongjun Xingyuan, a tile-roofed house in the fishing village facing more squarely.As for the other Annan people, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't need to pay attention to them. There are many civilians, generals and eunuchs in the Chinese army, so he will settle them down.

These people are coming to vote now, they must think that the Hu family is finished, and they came to surrender as early as possible.But Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, he still treated them as guests and invited them to sit down.

Princess Tianjia said sadly: "The Hu clan forced us to move from the eastern capital to the western capital. We had no choice but to submit. We were not willing to do so. I almost died on the road... "After she finished speaking, she took a handkerchief and lightly dipped the corners of her eyes twice to wipe away her tears.But Zhu Gaoxu's eyesight was very good, and he clearly didn't see a single tear she shed.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Princess, don't be sad. The king will send someone to escort you back to Shenglong tomorrow. The queen is also in Shenglong City, and she will take care of you."

"Is the mother all right?" Princess Tianjia asked hurriedly.

It turns out that Queen Chen is her mother, but judging by her age, she should be her stepmother.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Princess, don't worry, everything is fine."

Then Chen Shixian presented the seal letter of Annan Zhongshuling, and said: "Hanwang Highness, at this time, the puppet court Taishang King, King Hu's father and son have all gone to Zhuzi Jiangkou Military Village, and there are Zuo Xiangguo Hu Yuancheng, Generals Hu She, Hu Du and others are all here. There are 7 people gathered, with an army of 30, and they will move in full force to resist the king's division."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "It's okay, the Hu family is already at sunset, and our Ming army can defeat the enemy's army in just one day. The Hu family's father and son are unkind, murdered the king and usurped the throne, and killed the loyal officials of the clan. Many innocent people were implicated by it; Our army is temporarily stationed, and those who do not want to follow the Hu family will have the opportunity to come and surrender, so as not to kill innocent people by mistake."

Chen Shixian hurriedly praised: "The King of Han is benevolent, Annan is deeply moved by the whole country."

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Zhong Shuling can write a letter back to persuade those loyal officials of the Chen family to come and avoid disaster."

So Zhu Gaoxu treated the Annan people who voluntarily surrendered kindly, and even asked someone to arrange a house for them to live in, with preferential treatment for food and food.The treatment of Chen Shixian and others serves as an example, so that more Annan people are willing to vote.

At the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Zhu Gaoxu and the generals celebrated the festive season together by drinking and eating meat in the lobby.

During the day, the guard of the Shu Palace commanded Wan Quan to drink too much, and he didn't seem to be able to drink well, and he got drunk soon.When toasting, he said: "The king of Han treats people well! The general asked stupid things during the day, but the king of Han said that the general wanted to get it, good question..."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Commander Wan should drink less, our soldiers should not be too modest, or the brothers under his command will work hard with confidence?"

After hearing this, the generals burst into laughter.

After a while, Wan Quan got even more drunk, and sighed and felt very sad at an inappropriate time.The military general next to him advised him to be happy during the Chinese New Year. He said he missed his wife and children at home.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look over, and said kindly: "The battle will be over soon, after the Chinese New Year, everyone will go home and reunite soon!"

Wan Quan said: "We are the guards of the feudal palace, if we can go back, why should we be transferred to Annan?"

Everyone immediately fell silent, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Commander Wan is drunk and talking nonsense, Zhao Ping, Commander Wan is going back to the camp to rest."

Zhao Ping cupped his fists and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the wine glass, looked back to the left and right and said: "May the Ming Dynasty enjoy peace and prosperity, and my father, queen, and queen live a long life."

All the generals echoed and congratulated in a chaotic manner.

(On New Year’s Eve, Xifeng would like to thank all book friends for their long-term support and love. I hope all Xifeng book friends will be healthy and happy, and make a fortune in the new year.)

Chapter 327

Zhu Jiangming's camp is not far from Zhang Fu's camp, only a hundred miles away.The messenger rode a fast horse and took the official road. When he saw Zhang Fu, it was still dark.

Zhang Fu took out the letter and read it, and there were a few simple lines written on it: Marquis of Xincheng, stay safe and stay calm, and camp in place.After our troops wiped out Zhu Zijiang's enemies, the Marquis of Xincheng led the army to attack Qinghua.

How could Zhang Fu not be clear about the situation?He read it once, and immediately understood what the King of Han meant.

An Nanguo's Hu family is trapped in the small and isolated area of ​​the western capital, and they will not be able to hold on for long. Sooner or later, they will try to fight back, hoping to have a chance.Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use defense instead of attack, but he was afraid that Zhang Fu would rush to attack, so he ordered him to stay where he was on the condition of his military exploits in capturing Qinghua City.

For a while, Zhang Fu was very appreciative, because the King of Han could issue a military order to let him stand still without any conditions!

Without hesitation, Zhang Fu immediately said to the messenger standing in the big tent: "After you go back, report to the King of Han. I have received the military order and will act according to the military order."

After hearing this, the messenger clasped his fists and said, "The last general will take his leave."

At that time, Qingyuan Hou Wangyou, generals Chen Xu, Huang Zhong and other generals were also in the tent, and they were all curious when they heard that the King of Han had a military order.

Wang You even stretched his neck, as if he could see what was written on the paper. He simply asked, "Commander, what is the military order of the King of Han?"

In terms of seniority, Qingyuan Hou Wangyou is higher seniority than Zhang Fu. In the battle of Jingnan, Wangyou was a hundred households, and he joined the army today; at that time, Zhang Yu was the one who often led the army in the Zhang family.But he became a general after he became a marquis, and Wang You was still not very particular about his behavior... After all, he was only a member of a hundred households. If it weren't for the opportunity of the "Battle of Jingnan", he would never have been a marquis in eight lifetimes.

Zhang Fu smiled, and handed the letter in his hand to Wang You.

Wang You read it again and passed it to Chen Xu.Wang You said with a "tsk tsk" sound: "The reputation of the King of Han is not very good. Back then he killed officials indiscriminately, and he was arrogant|extravagant|extravagant|lewd. He can write a good handwriting."

Chen Xu took the words and said, "I'm still very sympathetic to the soldiers. The Zhujiangkou military stronghold was attacked by the King of Han, how could it not be able to take it down? If we procrastinate, we just want to wait for Annan's army to attack and reduce casualties."

Zhang Fu immediately agreed: "General Chen is a sensible person."

Chen Xu said again: "The king of Han treats the commander well! As long as the enemy army at Zhujiangkou is wiped out, Qinghua is captured and the rebels of the Hu family are captured, isn't this achievement just a piece of cake? According to the general, the king of Han advocates returning the government to the Chen family. The clan doesn't want to make things difficult for everyone, it's just that everyone has their own opinions."

Zhang Fu nodded slightly, lowered his head in thought, noncommittal.

...It was late at night, but the Ming army camp on the north bank of the Zhujiang River was still lively, with bonfires lit everywhere, and the entire sky was brightly illuminated.

"Bang bang bang..." On the fence of the barracks, rows of firecrackers sounded one after another, like firecrackers celebrating the festival.If you set the firearm at night, you can clearly see the fire from the muzzle of the muzzle, which is bright and dazzling, adding to the atmosphere.

Almost no one went to bed early tonight. A large number of military households from Dusi in Sichuan have a common custom. They have to guard the fields on New Year's Eve, and they have to wait until midnight before going to bed.It is said that this can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from destroying crops in the New Year.The sayings in other places are different, but the practice is the same. On New Year's Eve, we must keep vigil until after midnight.

While guarding the fields, the soldiers played musical instruments, danced shield dances and feather dances, and waited round after round for the wine to be distributed. They were very happy.

In the lobby of the Chinese army in the fishing village, Zhu Gaoxu could also hear the noise of the soldiers celebrating.He also didn't sleep, and while waiting for the sound of the drum beating, he looked at Tan Shitou's pig made of mud.

Tan Shishitou was promoted to a hundred households, and today he gave away a mud pig, which is the Chinese New Year's sign, and it was so lifelike.Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: Even if you are a pawn, each has his own unique skills and interests.
