Bright Spring

There are still sporadic drops of water dripping from the eaves of the Prince's Mansion in Gaoyang County.Zhu Gaoxu was pacing on the eaves, and could vaguely hear the sound of "clinking" metal knocking in the courtyard of the inverted house. The armor hadn't been repaired yet, but he didn't know if it could be repaired before the expedition.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about what happened a few nights ago. Gao Sui originally wanted to make a big fuss about the "secret letter of the prince"; but when he arrived at Yan Wang's mansion, Gao Sui didn't want to say it himself, so he changed his words temporarily... He is still the same, always wanting to Let the second brother play the forward so that he can hide behind!

However, Gao Sui didn't hide well this time.When Zheng He came to pass the message that day, Zhu Gaoxu had already said that "the third brother wants to overthrow the prince"; Zheng He is the confidant of King Yan, how could he not tell King Yan about such an important matter?Don't even think about Gao Sui having a shield for this matter, he has to bear part of the consequences!

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu also hinted at wooing Zheng He, but Zheng He declined by saying that he was only loyal to the King of Yan... This person has already seen the struggle among the princes of the King of Yan, and he is unwilling to get involved too early.

In contrast, as soon as Huang Yan had a chance, he encouraged|encouraged to be angry with the prince, and his ass was arranged early.From this point of view, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Huang Yan's foresight and city government were still a little worse than Zheng He's.

At this moment, Wang Gui came in from the gate, and seeing Zhu Gaoxu standing on the eaves, he quickened his pace.

"My lord..." Wang Gui said in a low voice, "The slaves go to the north gate of Yan Wang's mansion to watch every day, and they haven't found anything for so many days. How about finding a few more people?"

"No!" Zhu Gaoxu refused without hesitation, "This matter is confidential, and it is better to be useless than to advance rashly."

"Your servant understands." Wang Gui said.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Try another place, and then go to Chiyueguan to have a look. There is no need to rush this matter, I may go out in a few days, you stay in Beiping, and take your time to find out."

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said, "Your servant obeys."

After a while, Cao Fu also walked into the gatehouse and said, "My lord, someone is here at the Palace of King Yan, and I ask my lord to go to the front hall of King Yan's mansion to discuss matters immediately."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "Urge Zhang Junjiang, the remaining damaged parts don't need to be repaired too well, first repair it for a while, and then repair it. I will wear that armor when I go out this time, it is strong enough!"

"Yes, my lord."

Zhu Gaoxu called the servants and maids to change into military uniforms, first wearing only a set of chain mail, and went to discuss matters when they were ready.

With his entourage, he rode all the way to Yan Wangfu.

When approaching the front hall, Zhu Gaoxu met Zheng He and exchanged a few pleasantries.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu thought that Xu Kong's family members had also been killed, so he asked casually, "Is the Jin Yiwei who delivered the letter dead?"

Zheng He was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "I'm about to die, my legs and feet have been eaten away by hungry dogs, my bones are bony, sprinkled with salt, I haven't howled this morning."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt his scalp go numb and his legs seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Zhu Gaoxu knew about the cruelty of King Yan in his previous life, such as massacring ten clans, laying oil on the pot, letting soldiers humiliate other people's families, etc., there seems to be stories of killing thousands of court ladies by hand... However, where does a guard in Jinyi who delivers a letter arouse? The wrath of King Yan?

"What did you write in the secret letter?" Zhu Gaoxu plucked up his courage and couldn't help asking in doubt.

Zheng He shook his head.At this moment, seeing two generals coming from behind, Zhu Gaoxu also shut up.

As far as the front hall, more than a dozen civil and military personnel came one after another, and everyone stood up in order.Not long after, King Yan in military uniform also came in, sat down on the public seat above, and everyone stepped forward to salute.

King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu first, and said: "This time I will lead the army to attack Sheng Yong, so Gao Xu doesn't have to go."

Gao Xu was stunned for a moment, feeling very surprised.Before he went out, he urged the craftsmen to quickly repair the armor, never thinking that he would not have to go out.

But Zhu Gaoxu doesn't intend to challenge King Yan's authority at any time... It's too fucking scary to let the vicious dog gnaw off other people's lower body every now and then!Zhu Gaoxu felt that he should be thankful that he is the son of King Yan.

He didn't think much at all, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I obey!"

At this moment Zhu Neng shouted: "Your Majesty, why don't you let King Gaoyang go? How fierce is King Gaoyang? The officers and soldiers are afraid of him, and their momentum will be a little weaker when they see him. When our soldiers see King Gaoyang, their morale is also low. high miles."

Although Zhu Neng has a big mouth, he can be regarded as King Yan's confidant general, so it should be fine to say a few words.

Then Zhang Yu of Mao also said: "My lord, let's call Gao Yang Wang. You see that he has put on his armor, and he probably has nothing to do in Beiping."

King Yan said in a calm tone: "No need, let Gao Xu rest in Beiping for a while, and recruit and train more soldiers. After two years of fighting, the number of soldiers has continued to decrease, and the number of soldiers has decreased."

He paused and said again: "The officers and soldiers were defeated twice in a row, and each time they lost their divisions, and the elite were exhausted! I got the news that Sheng Yong didn't even have a decent cavalry. This battle is not as difficult as before. Compared with Next, it is more important for us to replenish the source of troops, Gao Xu has trained troops many times, so it is the best thing to do."

Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu were also very knowledgeable, and they bowed after listening to it: "My lord is wise!"

The king of Yan has always been kind and powerful, which is very awe-inspiring. It is rare for his subordinates to have the kind of people who insist on following their own opinions.

At this time Yao Guangxiao took two steps forward, looked back to the left and right and said: "The commander-in-chief of this army is Sheng Yong. He was appointed by the court as General Pingyan. Chen Hui, Ping'an, Ma Pu, Xu Zhen, etc. will be deputy. Tie Xuan has been promoted Minister of the Ministry of War, counseling military affairs at the front, mainly responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass."

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. This is also a military report before leaving.

Yao Guangxiao said again: "Although Sheng Yong is the commander-in-chief, he is not as powerful as Li Jinglong before. There is also the governor Xu Kai stationed in Cangzhou, and the army's luggage is also in Cangzhou, or it is not controlled by Sheng Yong. Sheng Yong's army is in Dezhou. The momentum of the corner."

At this time, King Yan said: "Xu Kai is my defeated general. This time we will attack Cangzhou first. After Xu Kai is dealt with as soon as possible, and then attack Dezhou, Sheng Yong will not be able to count on reinforcements! Do you have any objections?"

All the generals bowed and said: "My lord is rough, the last general will obey!"

Then everyone had a lively discussion, and they had their own opinions on the generals and the situation of the officers and soldiers this time. These have nothing to do with Zhu Gaoxu, so he won't go this time.

At the end of the game, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, and went out with the generals.

... Zhu Gaoxu returned to the mansion, immediately took off his mail, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do.

All military training is empty talk. The only places that can be dispatched by King Yan's Mansion are Peking and Pingping Mansions. What is the source of troops now?Could it be that the peasants are gathered together, some weapons are issued, and they can be used as an army after practice?

He thought about resting at home for a few days before talking, but quickly dismissed the idea.If he is treated negatively, will King Yan feel that he is dissatisfied?

No way!You must treat military training as a serious matter, and you must be motivated, at least take care of it every day.It doesn't matter whether it is effective or not, the attitude must be correct.

Chapter 84 Downwind

In late October, the city of Cangzhou was full of noise.

"The king of Yan is mighty! Mighty!" Countless soldiers shouted, the earth-shattering shouts came and went, and the battle was very grand.Inside and outside the dilapidated city walls, there are soldiers of the Yan army surging everywhere.

King Yan rode a tall horse and rushed into the city, his cloak fluttering high in the wind.The war horse swaggered towards the corridor, King Yan held his head high, and when he looked up, the flags of the Yan army were planted everywhere on the tower.

A group of civil and military men knelt on both sides, trembling with fear.Governor Xu Kai was tied up, and several people knelt on the ground holding him down.

Zhang Yu's face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "My lord, there are a lot of food and grass in the city, this time we even have food and grass!"

King Yan nodded his head very calmly, and squinted at Xu Kai.

Xu Kai said angrily: "Yan Ni made a sneak attack, the victory is not military!"

A sneer suddenly appeared on King Yan's face, "Based on your words, can you actually be the commander of the army?"

This time the Yan army suddenly broke through Cangzhou, and they did use tricks.At the beginning, the Yan army was going to attack Liaodong, but the cavalry suddenly drove south and caught Xu Kai by surprise...

……

"Good news! Good news! King Yan defeated Cangzhou and captured the governor Xu Kai alive!" "Good news..."

Three war horses galloped past Beiping's North and South Streets, and the knights on the horses shouted on the spot.This kind of military situation, the more it is publicized, the better. The news of victory can stabilize the hearts of the people in Beiping City.

...By the beginning of December, something new happened in Beiping City.

The Yan army smashed the official army at Huakou, beheading the official army general Sun Lin!
