Bright Spring

After the wound was cleaned, everyone gave Zhu Gaoxu the golden sore medicine that he brought to Yunnan.

While bandaging Zhu Gaoxu's wound with gauze, Miao Jin asked, "I heard that the army has more than 40 people. How did you win the battle in less than a day?"

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Miao Jin first told me, seeing that I was injured, what was thinking in my heart, and why I was so frightened?"

Miao Jin hurriedly turned her head to glance at the eunuchs and soldiers around her, but those people were expressionless and pretended not to hear.Her cheeks flushed, her charming almond eyes drooped, she looked at the ground sideways, avoiding all the people, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that her demeanor and actions at this time were very gentle, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.When he looked down at Miao Jin's demeanor, and saw her plump breasts undulating slightly when she lightly knotted the gauze scarf, Zhu Gaoxu was distracted for a long time.A wonderful warm current flowed in his body, but the pain all over his body tormented him from time to time, Zhu Gaoxu's face was a little distorted and became very strange.

After a while of silence, he said: "It's a long story, and it's not easy to explain, let alone explain to a woman. I'll talk about it later."

Miao Jin gave a soft "hmm".When she looked up at him, Zhu Gaoxu felt that there was more admiration in her eyes.Ordinarily, women are not very interested in wars, but they are very interested in powerful men, and Zhu Gaoxu was very useful for a while.

... Zhu Gaoxu had a low-grade fever the next day, but he recovered the next day.After three days passed, the wound did not suppurate, and he began to feel the itching of growing flesh. At this moment, he was completely relieved.

For three days, Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay much attention to military affairs.During this period, he only issued a military order, asking the people in the various army supplies to transport the wounded enemy soldiers on the battlefield back to the barracks to heal them.

There are no permanent enemies in this world, let alone the Han military households of the Ming Dynasty.But it is also difficult for people to love each other all the time, otherwise there would not be so many fights and wars from ancient times to the present.

Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a loose and thick robe, with gauze wrapped around his naked body.He had been looking at the map for a long time in the main room, and gradually came to a clear judgment: with the abilities of generals like Sheng Yong, Qu Nengping, Zhang Fu couldn't escape many people!

The battlefield of the Huguang Battle is located south of Shaoyang County and east of Fuyi River.Although the Fuyi River is not wide, it is not possible to ford across the river, not to mention that it is meaningless for the officers and soldiers to cross the river; they can only flee north.

Shaoyang County and Baoqing Prefecture in the north are also not allowed to stay. If the officers and soldiers enter the city to delay time, they will be surrounded more easily and cannot escape alone!

The defeated officers and soldiers arrived near Baoqingfu City, with Zishui to the west, Shaoshui to the northeast, Tanjiang to the east...and the Han King's army chasing troops to the south.Almost a dead end!However, the city of Baoqing Prefecture is still under the control of the officers and soldiers, and perhaps a pontoon bridge can be erected overnight to allow some officers and soldiers to cross Shaoshui.

Next, the defeated army will have to go east and cross Shaoshui again, so that they can approach the Xiangjiang River to the east.Otherwise, entering the vicinity of Xinhua County in the north will be a deadly place; as long as the Hanwang army encircles and encircles from the east, the officers and troops will have nowhere to go. , the consequences can be imagined.

The escape route of the officers and soldiers hundreds of miles, it is indeed too difficult to have more troops left!

Before the battle, Zhang Fu obviously didn't think too much about the issue of fleeing after the defeat; if he thought he would lose at that time, he might not have come to the decisive battle.But after the real defeat, because the retreat route is too difficult, Zhang Fu's defeat this time will definitely be very thorough!

After Zhu Gaoxu confirmed the situation, he thought about the bigger situation in the world. His excitement and excitement gradually gained the upper hand.

He paced back and forth in the main room, his excitement and ecstasy could not be calmed down!Although it didn't show on his face, he seemed restless.

Not long ago, Zhu Gaoxu was still suffering from the pressure of survival; in the blink of an eye, a decisive battle completely reversed the situation!Before he was ready, the whole world was suddenly in front of him tomorrow.

Everything came so fast!

He had never experienced this feeling before!I just thought about it many times in my dreams and imaginations: What should I do if I suddenly win 1000 million in Macau?Fantasies like that.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt as if he had suddenly become an upstart and suddenly won a lot of money. The feeling was stronger than that.If it wasn't for the injuries on his body, his whole body was in pain, he really wanted to repair the car frantically|to vent.

calm down!Zhu Gaoxu keeps reminding himself every day, considering his current status, he must hold on to Bigger, and not behave like a bumpkin who got rich overnight.

Chapter 539 Reincarnation

On the evening of the third day of the first month of November in the first year of Hongxi (the sixth year of Yongle in the area controlled by the Han Palace), the Huguang Battle, which lasted for more than ten days, was truly over.

On the Xiangjiang River on the west side of Tanzhou Fucheng, there is a long and narrow island.The river surface from Xiaozhou to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River is narrow. At this time, a raging fire is burning on the water surface, and many pontoon bridges have been ignited!The river on the east side of the island is relatively wide, and many large ships are coming and going, transporting the remnants of the officers and soldiers across the river.

The island is crowded with people.The army was not in formation, and the land on the island was crowded with chaotic horses and soldiers.

Some rebel cavalry on the west bank were wandering along the river; but the boat bridge was already on fire, and they could only wait and see the chaos on the island, with nothing to do.

Zhang Fu estimated that there were at most 5 or 40 infantry and cavalry remnants on the island, and nearly half of them were cavalry soldiers.In addition to those sporadic defeated troops who fled to Changsha, Tanzhou, and Hengzhou along the Xiangjiang River after the defeat and dispersion, the 7 army is only [-] or [-] at most!

After retreating from the battlefield in the south of Shaoyang County, there were four escape routes for the officers and soldiers: "The rebels of the King of Han have a large area of ​​land in the southwestern provinces. If the officers and soldiers occupy Changsha and Nanchang, they can flank and threaten the rebels from the north." The army's retreat route and grain road. Let them have no worries when they continue to advance eastward!"

Liu Sheng said suddenly: "It seems... Sheng Yong thought so too back then."

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses.Liu Sheng refers to the old story of Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others defending Jinan City in Shandong in the later period of the "Battle of Jingnan".Zhang Fu thought about it for a while, and found that the world is really a kind of reincarnation!The situation and strategy he is facing now are very similar to those of Sheng Yong back then, and he is equally helpless.

Zhang Fu sighed: "Back then, Sheng Yong had only a group of unbeatable troops left in his hands, and being able to defend Shandong was his only choice. So after he surrendered, the late emperor had not punished him, so he quietly defected to the rebellious king for some reason. It is Qing Zhi who will be liquidated|accounted for... He sticks to Shandong, which really caused the late emperor a headache."

Liu Sheng listened and nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Fu frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered, "Changsha City and Nanchang City both have hidden dangers."

When several generals heard Zhang Fu's mysterious words, they turned their heads one after another, as if listening attentively.

Zhang Fu said in a deep voice: "King Gu and King Ning! The commander-in-chief was told by the secret decree that King Gu was rebellious. There is also King Ning, who has been friends with the rebellious king (King Han) for many years and is good at scheming and judging; now King Ning sees you The situation is not right, and it is very likely that you want to open the door and surrender, so as to sacrifice Nanchang City to make friends with the rebel king!"

He pondered for a moment, then said: "In three days' time, let's lead our army into Changsha City, and take down King Gu first!"

Chen Mao's face was fierce, but at this moment he was cowering: "That's the prince, we didn't have the permission of the Holy Majesty, how could we do this?"

"I have a secret order." Zhang Fu emphasized.But after a while, he also realized that the secret decree was not the proof to win the prince, so he gritted his teeth and said, "What am I afraid to do now? It's all for the sake of the overall situation!"

No one agreed with the generals, but no one opposed it.

After hearing this, Tan Zhong said: "He Fu is still in Changsha City, why not..." He pulled his palm on his neck and made a movement.

No one talks about He Fu, because the generals here are all heroes of Jing Nan, so they don't care whether people like He Fu live or die!

Zhang Fu also hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "After all, He Fu is the Marquis, the Pinghan Zuo Deputy General ordered by the Holy Majesty... Everything I have done, such as taking down King Gu, is to be loyal to the Holy Majesty. But now He Fu Fu is already trapped in a cage, without any military power or threat; if I kill He Fu, everyone will see that it is a personal grievance. Together with King Gu, send him back to the capital by water! Let the Holy Majesty decide."

All the generals clasped their fists together and said, "The commander is wise!"

Zhang Fu stood up and said, "Order the ministries to rest for a day tomorrow. Set off the day after tomorrow and walk another [-] miles, and rest after arriving at Changsha Fucheng."

"The last general waits for orders!"

5 Chapter Forty

The capital was shrouded in a hurricane of hurricane wind and rain. From time to time a gust of wind blew up in the air, and the pattering rain would blow to the eaves of the palace.The countless palaces and towers in the imperial city were shrouded in a hazy rain.

The dark clouds that had been overcast for many days a few days ago finally brought down the rain.It rains continuously.

Outside the imperial gate, Yuan Gong, who had put away his umbrella, was suddenly hit by a gust of rain that flew obliquely, and his head and face were covered with water.He didn't know whether it was because of the rain, or because of something else, he was furious and cursed loudly.

Yuan Gong used to be a physiognomist, and his own face was also good-looking, with a square face with rosy skin and big ears.But at this moment, his face was distorted due to extreme anger, his face was also white and blue, and his eyes were bloodshot!

There are also some ministers around, and they have different expressions.Yang Rong, an old official of the East Palace, followed Yuan Gong in scolding, and the one who scolded was Zhang Fu.Guo Zi heaved a sigh, while Minister of the Ministry of War Ru Yu, Minister of Taichang Temple Xue Yan and others remained silent with dignified expressions.

Yuan Gong shouted angrily without any scruples: "He Zhang Fu holds a heavy army, and even the Holy Majesty is accommodating him in every possible way. I only hope that he will put down the rebellion as soon as possible! He is good, and he works very hard to deal with dissidents. He framed the Marquis of Jiangyin and arrested Pinghan Zuo Deputy General Ning Yuanhou, that is called a thunderbolt method! But when he meets the rebels, he will be completely defeated and defeated! I think Zhang Fu is not as good as Cao Guogong back then!"

Zhang Fugui is a British prince and a relative of the emperor, and the prince born to the imperial concubine is his grandson.Prior to this, no matter who was dissatisfied with Zhang Fu in the court, they would not dare to scold him like this in public, and they had to save some face.But now Yuan Gong seems to be willing to go all out, and he no longer shy away from it.

At this moment, the eunuch Haitao, the supervisor of ceremonies, came outside Fengtian Gate.

Before Haitao could speak, Yuan Gong impatiently stepped forward and asked, "Isn't the Holy Majesty coming to Yumen to listen to the government today?"

Hai Tao said with a distressed look: "The news from Huguang came back, the emperor hasn't gone to bed for several days in a row, alas! The emperor's dragon body has also lost weight..." He gently wiped his dry eyes with his sleeve , "Last night, the emperor finally returned to Qianqing Palace and slept peacefully for the night."

Yuan Gong asked again: "The Holy Majesty is in the East Nuan Pavilion?"
