Bright Spring

King Yan has always been prudent, except when he was pretending to be crazy, he would hardly lose his composure; even if he had smiled since he started his army, he had smiled reluctantly, and he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

Most of the generals didn't know why, so they had to laugh for a while.

King Yan leaned forward and backward with a smile, covered his stomach and said, "Good nephew! It's not good to send someone, send Li Jinglong, hey, I reckon this is a trick!"

The generals hurriedly asked: "My lord, tell me, what's the plan?"

Yan Wang said with a smile: "I just want to use this treacherous trick to make me laugh to death! Then why don't you use Jing?"

"Hahaha..." Everyone also laughed.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing too, he didn't expect Daddy Cheap to have a humorous temperament.

Everyone laughed for a long time before Yan Wang said: "I know this Li Jinglong, and many soldiers in the Beijing camp also know him, and the soldiers will not obey at all. When the time comes, he will be surrounded by treacherous and stingy people.

This person has no strategy, no ability to command an army, and no experience in leading an army in combat...but he is headstrong, never listens to words, and is jealous and mean to others.If he was not self-willed and self-aware, how could he gladly accept this great task? "

After hearing this, all the generals bowed in admiration, "How can Li Jinglong be the match of the prince?!"

The King of Yan was in a good mood, and he encouraged the generals, "Li Jinglong is half of us, and he will deal with the treacherous officials of the court together. Let's work hard, we have killed half of the treacherous officials and Qing Jun!"

At this moment, Jin Zhongbai said: "Master Daoyan also asked the officials to bring a few words."

Hearing these words, Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that Jin Zhong belonged to Yao Guangxiao.

Yan Wang said: "They are not outsiders, let's talk."

Jin Zhongdao: "Master Daoyan said that for more than [-] years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the weather has been favorable and the people have no worries about hunger and cold; now that treacherous ministers are in power and raising wars, the imperial court can only fight with military households, and the common people avoid them. The number of military households in the world is limited. The number of military households that must be garrisoned and garrisoned and can be drafted into an army is even more limited. The king of Yan does not have to worry about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. He should seize the opportunity of the incompetence of the southern army commander to cut down and weaken the strength of the army..."

Zhu Gaoxu kept listening, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that Yao Guangxiao was quite knowledgeable, and his thinking was not conservative, but rather advanced.Although Yao Guangxiao has always been inclined towards the son of the eldest son, and he did not get along very well with Zhu Gaoxu in private, but Zhu Gaoxu had to appreciate and respect him when he heard his insight.

Jin Zhong continued: "In the past Song Taizong's Northern Expedition to the Youyun Land, the Liao Army lured the enemy into deep, gathered and wiped them out, and the Song Army's military strength has declined so far. Now Li Jinglong is worse than Song Taizong. The King of Yan can follow the Liao Army's method, Lead them to Yandi, look for opportunities to gather and annihilate them!"

"Good!" King Yan quickly agreed, "Order the whole army to return to Beiping tomorrow."

All the generals bowed and said: "The last general waits for the order!"

Jin Zhong took two steps forward, and said again: "Your Majesty is God's help! Originally, after the death of Marquis Changxing, Li Jinglong might not be able to get it. Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War in the Central Court, recommended Guo Ying. He knew that Huang Zicheng wanted to recommend Li Jinglong, so he was very happy be opposed to.

And because Huang Zicheng was the emperor's teacher and was extremely favored, Qi Tai even secretly reported that Huang Zicheng colluded with the harem and interfered in the emperor's private affairs, trying to drive a distance between the emperor and Huang Zicheng, thereby preventing Li Jinglong from becoming commander-in-chief.

Unexpectedly, someone in Zhending reported that Guo Ying was negotiating peace with Yan Jun, and also privately saw the envoy's marriage.That Qitai recommended Guo Ying in the first place, but now the emperor was furious and suspicious of Guo Ying and Qi Tai... So Huang Zicheng won again, and Li Jinglong will lead the Northern Expedition! "

"Ha!" King Yan turned his head immediately after hearing this, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said with a smile, "Although Gao Xu's idea didn't win Guo Ying over, it was unexpected!"

Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect such an operation!The Nanjing court is very complicated, like a big cesspit, how does Zhu Gaoxu know the ins and outs of the complicated relationships inside?This thing is completely "blind cat meets dead mouse".

He hurriedly said: "It is true that the officers and soldiers will not be able to defend themselves. Seeing that my father is worried, I just want to share my worries with my father, but there is really no good way. I just came up with a crooked idea. Let's try it. I don't think it will have such an effect." .Congratulations to the father, this is not as good as the sky, and the sky also helps the father!"

King Yan laughed and said, "Gao Xu is my blessing, he has brought me good luck."

Everyone congratulated and agreed.

Zhu Gaoxu accidentally saw Yuan Gong next to him... A few days ago, Yuan Gong even said that the person who came up with that plan was not as good as a three-year-old child!Now Yuan Gong remained silent, his eyes were evasive, for fear that others would notice him.

At this moment, Yuan Gong also cast his gaze, and accidentally looked at Zhu Gaoxu in blank dismay.Yuan Gong's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed, turning blue and white, very ugly.If he didn't know the inside story, he would think that he just ate some dirty stuff, that's why he had such an expression!

Yuan Gong must be very upset... Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that I have offended him?

Zhu Gaoxu immediately yelled in his heart that he was wronged, and he came up with a trick that was not very clever. He didn't do anything else, so he offended people?Then Yuan Gong is also weird, what is he doing to come up and comment, if he refuses to accept himself, he can't come up with a plan?

Yuan Gong was born as a fortune teller, and like the monk Yao Guangxiao, he did not become an official through the imperial examination, but he was not sure what his relationship with Yao Guangxiao was.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that it would be a good thing to offend less people, he had to look at the situation first, and then find an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with him.

After everyone finished talking in the big tent, King Yan said goodbye, and all the generals clasped their fists together and said: "The last general will take his leave!"

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the big tent, and went back to prepare to convey the military order of King Yan, and took everyone out early tomorrow morning.

He returned to the tent and drank a cup of cold boiled water. After taking a breath, he calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly felt a little strange... Li Jinglong hadn't left Beijing yet, and the news had already reached Zhending. This is not surprising. Fourth uncle Xu Zengshou It could be a ghost!However, even Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's Xiao Jiujiu in private, Yao Guangxiao can know?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that the monk Yao Guangxiao's details were beyond imagination, and he was also very good at espionage intelligence, he could penetrate into every hole!

Chapter 52 Big Man

A few days later, Zhu Gaoxu returned to Peiping with the Yan army.

The gunshot wound of Wang Bin of Hundred Households was only a flesh wound, as long as it was not infected, it would be fine.Zhu Gaoxu asked him to take off his clothes and observe. Seeing that the wound was healing, he felt relieved and asked Wang Bin to go home to recuperate first.

Back at the county prince's mansion, the eunuchs and servants in the mansion greeted him and greeted him with greetings.Zhu Gaoxu took off his armor and uniform, and went back to the inner hall to rest.

The people in the mansion were almost the same as before, but for some reason, Zhu Gaoxu always felt deserted.It's like a person who has been working outside all year round suddenly returns to an empty home, but feels a sense of strangeness.

The county palace is not empty, there are many people.Zhu Gaoxu quickly understood: Du Qianrui is missing.

Without her, there will be no delicious and delicate meals, no anticipation to meet and interesting conversations.

Zhu Gaoxu has nothing to do, and he doesn't want to sleep. He is in an impetuous mood and can't do things like playing chess.He changed into a brown robe, called Wang Gui, took some belongings and rode out on horseback.

Following the place they forcibly remembered, Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went to the Xiejie on the north bank of Haizi.

That day at the foot of Zhending City, a soldier named Chen Dachui gave Zhu Gaoxu the address of his home when he gave the horse to him.At that time, the situation was urgent, Zhu Gaoxu almost forgot what the soldier looked like, but he only remembered the address... I have to remember that it was bought by Chen Dachui with his life!

At that time, there were heavy siege and there were enemy soldiers all around. Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry, who ran very fast;The soldier took the initiative to send his horse, and reported it to his family. The meaning was obvious: after he sent the horse, his life would not be guaranteed, and the prince wanted to take care of his family!

Although Chen Dachui was a small soldier, Zhu Gaoxu would not despise his life just because of his status.

The two came to Xiejie and asked passers-by to find Torch Lane.Zhu Gaoxu then ordered Wang Gui to search around in this dilapidated alley.

"The military household who lives nearby is called Chen Dachui, do you know him?" Wang Gui's voice came from not far away.

Zhu Gaoxu walked slowly, waiting for Wang Gui to inquire, while looking around.This place is similar to the unrenovated old street I have seen in my previous life. There are low and hard hilltop houses everywhere. Even if the ground is swept, it looks dirty. From time to time, there is a small shop with the door open. .

In the entire Beiping City, except for the mansions of noble and wealthy people, most of the houses are like this.In ordinary houses at this time, the doors and windows were opened very small, and most of them had extremely poor lighting.

After a while, Wang Gui led the horse over and said: "Mr. Hong, the servants have found out, and they are right in front."

Zhu Gaoxu asked Wang Gui to lead the way and walked for a while.Wang Gui pointed to a shop facing the road and said, "My lord, this is it!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked over and was a little puzzled.The shop looked like a shop selling pastries and snacks, a big man was washing dishes at the door, his hair was tied up with a cloth towel, Zhu Gaoxu had a vague impression: this man seemed to be Chen Dahui.

"Chen Dahammer?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

The man suddenly raised his head, was stunned for a moment, stood up and wiped his hands on the lapel of his clothes indiscriminately, suddenly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "My little one pays homage to the lord, why does the lord..."

"You're not dead?" Zhu Gaoxu blurted out, went up to grasp Chen Dachui's forearm with both hands, and lifted it up, in the standard "Yan Wang posture".

At this moment, a young woman wearing a dirty apron came out from the door. She led a boy by the hand, stared at him, and stood there motionless.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was wearing ordinary clothes, but because he was served by a group of people as uncles at home, the clothes were made of elegant and clean clothes, and the brown robe was covered with white silk obscene clothes. Not often.
