Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 250 248 - Winning the Nine Gates (continued)

Beiping, Dongcheng, Qihuamen.

A general flag team waited in the tower until the night shift, because there was still some time before night, so these soldiers stayed in the lounge and chatted.

Chatting and chatting, I don't know why they suddenly talked about Yan Wangfu.

During the day, Dusi assembled troops and horses to besiege Prince Yan's mansion. Even though they were small people, they were very interested in this matter.

"Hey, what do you think King Yan will do this time?" Someone asked aloud.

Someone answered quickly.

"What else can we do? Now, except for our city guards, all the seven guards and horses have been dispatched, and there is no escape. According to me, whether there will be King Yan in Beiping City is another matter."

"Hey, speaking of this, the current emperor is quite ruthless. One after another, it's not because he wants to clean up all the sons of the great grandfather."

"It's really possible, but it's just a pity for King Yan. Speaking of which, I haven't heard of any absurd things that King Yan has done in these years, but now I can't protect myself, and I don't know what to say in this world. And you Talk about a good prince, who can bear to be demoted to a commoner all of a sudden."

This sentence provoked many people to sigh, and most people would feel pity for the prince in distress, even if the prince was in distress, the treatment would be better than them, because they would feel sore as long as they experienced it a little bit, and because They understand how difficult an ordinary life is, and how rare a rich life is.

But there are also people who don't care, this person said: "Why talk so much, no matter what, in short, whether King Yan is good or bad, has nothing to do with us little people, I don't know why you are so idle. , I really complied with the saying that eating salty radishes is not enough to worry about."

Many people were upset when they heard this, but they had nothing to refute.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with them.

But at this moment, their main flag pillar spoke. He first sighed, and then said: "Actually, you can't say that."

Everyone looked over in puzzlement.

Zhu Zi paused and explained: "Think about it, you guys, who can guarantee that they will not be drafted in the future? You need to know that the army led by the King of Yan has never been defeated in these years, but if there is no King Yan, change the tie of the general. Bing, maybe a defeat will hurt us. As the saying goes, one general’s incompetence will hurt the three armies. Then think about it, if you fight the Mongols at that time, it’s okay to win, and you can kill fewer people, but if If we lose, half of us will die if we go out to fight, do you think it matters?"

"Hey, that's really the truth." Someone agreed.

Immediately afterwards, another older veteran echoed and said: "No, I think that when I followed Xu Shuai to the North, it was a net victory. The Mongols ran away when they saw us. We just need to chase and cut. It’s called Shuxin. At that time, it was called Dadu, and I didn’t feel tired. I fought here, and the Mongolian dog emperor ran away in fright. You said you followed a good general, okay?”

After speaking, the veteran laughed, as if that time was the best memory in his life.

Many younger soldiers listened with yearning.

The old soldier pretended to stroke his beard and said, "You guys don't believe me. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your elders. The Seven Guards of Beiping were all left by Xu Shuai. As long as there are elders in the family, they will definitely remember this matter." Woolen cloth."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Zi immediately continued with a smile: "Why do you need to ask, my father tells me every day, my ears are callused, and when I mention this, I suddenly remembered, King Yan is still Xu Shuai As for my son-in-law, my father always told me to be more loyal to King Yan, but now that King Yan is in trouble, we can't help, hey, I only hate us for being small and weak."

This sentence seemed to hit the heart of the veteran.

The veteran sighed, and then muttered: "Yes, King Yan is still Xu Shuai's son-in-law. Speaking of which, when King Yan was young, he practiced under Xu Shuai's tent, and I watched Xu Shuai punish Yan Wang from afar. Well, the King of Yan didn't eat those boards for nothing, and he didn't feel ashamed of Xu Shuai's teachings. He has led troops to win many battles these years. If Xu Shuai knew, he would be happy underground, but... hey..."

After that, the veteran didn't say anything.

But everyone present knew that the veteran was lamenting that King Yan was deposed by the emperor.

Zhu Zi took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and seeing the heavy atmosphere, he said, "It's fine, let's not talk about this, or someone will hear and punish us later, let's hurry up and get ready, and those who want to rest are fine." Let’s rest and rest, it’s time for us to stand guard soon.”

Everyone responded and scattered to rest.

But the pillar didn't rest, instead he turned around and came to a little soldier who kept his head down and didn't say a word, and the two sneaked away to a place where there was no one else.

When there were no one around, the little soldier raised his head and smiled at Zhuzi: "Brother Zhuzi, you did a good job. I didn't expect Brother Zhuzi to have this kind of ability. In just a few words, I can test everyone's attitude towards His Highness King Yan." out."

Zhu Zi scratched his head honestly, and said embarrassedly: "Zong Zongqi, don't praise me, it's all taught by you."

Xiao Bing said unhappily: "No matter what I teach, you have to do a good job. Also, don't call me Zongqi, now you are also Zongqi. Besides, our relationship doesn't have to be so polite. I'm about to get engaged to my uncle, so why not be polite, just call me Sanyong, that's what my brother and others call me."

This little soldier is the third son of the Zhen family, Zhen Yong.

Zhu Zi chuckled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite. By the way, did you observe clearly just now?"

Zhen Yong nodded, with a look of ruthlessness in his eyes, and said: "Look carefully, there are a few people who are very upset with King Yan. If people from King Yan's mansion really come to attack the city gate, we will follow the trend When the time comes, cut off those few Liwei first, then you will be the general flag, and the rest of the people already have a good impression of King Yan, and then borrowing the name of King Yan is enough to make them follow us."

Zhu Zi nodded heavily. He just listened to what Zhen Yong said, and his body became a little excited. He faintly felt that this would be the most important choice in his life. If he won the fight, he would also be able to enjoy the glory and wealth .

Thinking of this, Zhu Zi glanced at Zhen Yong with some admiration.

He couldn't think of such things as probing, murdering to establish prestige, and calling soldiers in the name of King Yan. He couldn't help but sigh and envy Zhen Yong's family conditions.

When he was a child, Zhen Yong was just a stunned young man who ran behind his ass. If no one taught him, how could Zhen Yong have such a big change.

All of this is really inseparable from that hero Zhen Wu who is well-known in Beiping City.

The elder brother is already in his prime, so he naturally takes the whole family to take off. This kind of thing is not enviable. He doesn't have an elder brother, and he is still an elder brother. He can only work hard to make himself emerge, and then lead his family to live a good life. Finally, step by step to improve the knowledge and knowledge of the family members.

But okay.

Zhuzi is a little lucky, he has a close relationship with Zhen Yong, and this is enough to bring him some soup when Zhen Yong is promoted step by step.

Otherwise, he knew very well how the post of general banner would have fallen to him.

Just when he was thinking about this, Zhen Yong suddenly said again: "But..."

"But what?" Zhu Zi asked.

"But it's just echoing, isn't the credit too small." After Zhen Yong finished speaking, he turned his head and looked in the direction where the tower guard was.

Zhu Zi exclaimed: "You don't mean to kill the defender, do you?"

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhen Yong asked back.

Zhu Zi asked in shock: "This... this... have we fought?"

Unexpectedly, these words made Zhen Yong look at him suspiciously, Zhen Yong frowned and said, "Is this guard very fierce?"

Zhuzhu nodded.

Zhen Yong frowned deeper: "Comparable to my brother?"

Zhu Zi was nodding his head, when he heard Zhen Yong's words, his head suddenly turned into a rattle again.

Now if Zhen Wu claims to be the second strongest in Beiping, who would dare to say that he is the number one?

Who the hell can be like Zhen Wu, holding a stone lock weighing more than 100 kilograms in one hand and throwing it around like a hydrangea ball.

Seeing this, Zhen Yong snorted and said, "Then he's a fart."

Zhu Zi's mouth grew wide, and he really wanted to talk to Zhen Yong. If it is fiercer than Zhen Wu, then there are not many people in this world who can say fierce.

Zhen Yong didn't understand Zhu Zi's thoughts. He often fought against Zhen Wu at home. In his opinion, as long as he was not at Zhen Wu's level, he would have a chance to win.

And he always wanted to prove himself, he didn't want to embarrass his brother, he looked in the direction of the guard, his eyes suddenly became firm: "Wait, I will kill him, so that my brother can take a look at me too It's my ability to let outsiders see that my brother's younger brother is not a coward."

Zhu Zi was a little speechless, but Zhen Yong also aroused an ambition in his heart that I am invincible.

There is a scar the size of a bowl on the head, and there are several times in life.

……

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

The soldiers who surrounded Yan Wang's mansion stayed on guard for a long time, and the fools who didn't see the order all the time, their moods were already a little depressed, and their legs and feet began to feel weak. There was delicious food and drink in the palace, and one by one began to feel restless again.

Even Peng Er was a little restless. He wanted to go into the mansion several times to inquire, but he was reprimanded by the guard to go back.

He didn't get an order and didn't dare to force his way.

But waiting and waiting like this, he always felt that something was wrong, and for a while, a feeling of uneasiness began to linger in his heart.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to discuss a solution with Zhang Xin, and felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

But when he was about to take a step, a riot suddenly broke out in Zhang Xin's camp, and many soldiers boldly started to flee.

And this kind of rout just appeared, when all the soldiers were impatient, it spread to the whole army at once, and all the soldiers started to yell and scatter in all directions.

Each of these soldiers wanted to make a big fuss, so that they could not blame the crowd, and they did not spare any effort when they drove others to run away.

"Damn it, these officials are playing with monkeys. Let me stand here for a long time and do nothing. I won't accompany you."

"I don't play anymore, everyone, stop waiting and run."

"Yes, yes, run away, whoever is waiting is an idiot."

……

Seeing this, Peng Er didn't have the heart to discuss with Zhang Xin, and hurriedly shouted to control the soldiers, but the people from Zhang Xin's camp who made a fuss kept rushing into his camp, not only the soldiers in his camp It was in a state of chaos, and he even urged his soldiers to run away.

At this time, there was another cry, which immediately attracted Peng Er's attention.

"Xie Gui and Zhang Bing have been killed by the King of Yan, Xie Gui and Zhang Bing have been killed by the King of Yan, what are we waiting for, why don't we go and wait for the feast?"

The turmoil of the soldiers seemed to add fuel to the fire, and it boiled even more in an instant.

Peng Er was startled immediately.

The uneasiness in his heart was finally reflected in reality, he looked at the Yan Palace twice in horror, gritted his teeth and got on his horse, commanding some soldiers he could control at the moment, intending to forcibly break into the Yan Palace.

While Peng Er gave the order, he turned his head to look at Zhang Xin, wanting Zhang Xin to quickly gather the soldiers and rush into the Yan Palace with him.

But he only glanced at it, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

I saw that Zhang Xin not only did not stop the riots, but also took advantage of Zhang Xindu’s status as the commander to dismiss the soldiers. It was Zhang Xin who was the official who took the lead, and many soldiers who wanted to be disbanded had no worries. They fled in all directions.

This time Peng Er didn't understand that Zhang Xin had already rebelled.

Peng Er gritted his teeth and spat out the word Zhang Xin, and then he no longer cared about Zhang Xin. Xie Gui was his long-standing officer, and he couldn't ignore Xie Gui. He gathered a few more soldiers in a loud voice, and then gave an order, Let the soldiers attack the palace of Yan Wang.

At this time, Guan Tong and the three had already untied the ropes on their bodies secretly. Seeing that Peng Er was still organizing soldiers to attack the palace, they all knew that Peng Er could not stay, so the three of them immediately went to kill Peng Er together.

"Kill Peng Er." Guan Tong snorted coldly.

Tang Yun and Xie Li also had a cold look in their eyes, the three of them snatched a weapon from the soldier, and killed Peng Er in a few steps, Peng Er was startled again, but he was not confused , As soon as the horse's head turned, he wanted to ride the horse and step towards the three of Guantong.

It was as if he wanted to trample the three of them into flesh.

The three of Guan Tong are already old, they dare not show off their courage, so they dodged quickly.

But just at this time, a group of people were killed in King Yan's Mansion, like a one-sided massacre, they directly killed some soldiers who still obeyed Peng Er's order, and fled in all directions, and the soldiers of King Yan's Mansion didn't bother to flee. The pawns surrounded Peng Er in a clean and agile manner, intending to encircle and kill them.

At this time, Zhang Xin finally got rid of all the soldiers and began to disperse. He hurriedly came to Guantong and the three of them, and said, "Three commanders, please go and report to Your Highness, and say that the siege troops in the palace have all dispersed." , but the Nine Gates are still in their hands, and they need to take them back quickly, don’t let the city gate guards get the news and make preparations, as for Peng Er, with me here, he will definitely not survive today.”

Guan Tong and the others also knew the seriousness of the matter, so they ran towards Yan Wang's mansion.

At this moment, in King Yan's mansion, Zhu Di led more than [-] elite soldiers and stood outside the hall in four teams. They waited intently, waiting for the final decision outside the gate, and then rushed to attack the nine gates.

The three of Guan Tong came.

They reported: "Your Highness, the soldiers outside have all dispersed, and they can attack the nine gates."

Zhu Di nodded, turned around abruptly, his eyes swept over Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others, and then extended to the generals and soldiers behind them.

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world thinks that I, Zhu Di, will stand still and be a coward, but today I want to tell the people in the world that I, Zhu Di, dare to do things that no one in the world dares to do. If anyone wants to take my life, I will do it." His fate, that's all, no regrets, no death, so I turned against Zhu Di, Zhang Bing died, Xie Gui died, now there is no way out, except to kill a way out, there is no other way, you tell me what to do. "

"kill."

"kill."

"kill."

……

Zhen Wu and others took the lead, and all the soldiers shouted in unison, the momentum was earth-shattering, as if they were even more imposing than before.

"Draw the knife." Zhu Di roared, and drew out his own knife at the same time.

Bass mist.

Countless cool sounds of drawing knives resounded in King Yan's mansion immediately. The shining long knives gathered the painstaking efforts that have been forged day and night these days, as if turning Yan Wang's mansion into a forest of knives for a while.

The murderous aura and coolness lowered the temperature of the entire space.

Zhu Di's cross-armed sword pointed at the outside of Yan Wang's mansion.

Zhu Di's firm voice sounded in the palace.

"Set off."

Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu moved first, followed by countless soldiers behind them. The continuous sound of footsteps and nail leaves seemed to shake the Palace of King Yan.

When the four of them left the palace, they all didn't even look at the person who captured Peng Er in front of the gate of the palace. Like a river that forked, they naturally turned into four strands and headed in four directions.
