Daming: From the end of Hongwu

257 Chapter 255 - Zhu Di's 20 Years of Accumulation
Since the rise of the army, tests have come one after another.

As soon as Song Zhong's danger in Huailai was resolved, Daning Bu Wan led his troops to attack, and it was obvious that even after Bu Wan was resolved, he would immediately face the conquest of the imperial army.

In this situation, it was as if he was facing the surging sea, and the incoming waves seemed to never stop.

Zhu Di stood up and stared at the world. He knew that this was the price he had to bear for embarking on this road. No matter how great the pressure was or how difficult it was, he could only resist and go on.

Go all the way to the end, either fall into darkness forever, or see the light.

It's just that he has no confidence in his heart.

As the leader of the Yan army, he can feel the suffocation brought by the court more than anyone else.

Zhu Di couldn't help but think of Dao Yan and Zhen Wu. These two people really have similarities. The rest of them are more or less apprehensive about rebelling, but only these two people's mentality can be as stable as a mountain. It seems that they have never thought about what the future will end up in.

Really complied with the sentence, a strange man must do a miracle.

Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly laughed, annoyed himself for a while, he has two strange people to help him, why bother to be entangled and anxious here, even if there are many levels, just pass through one level.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di strengthened his faith again. He took a deep breath, and as the cool air entered his lungs, his mind was cleared up a lot. Then Zhu Di straightened his face, turned his head and ordered the guards to let people Inform Zhen Wu and others to come to discuss matters in the future.

After the generals came over, Zhu Di took them to the place where the county government was discussing matters.

Zhu Di glanced over the crowd, knocked on the table, and said, "I asked everyone to come here, because I have two things to inform you."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di paused for a while, seeing that Zhen Wu and the others had already listened intently, and then said again: "The strategy we discussed in the palace at the beginning, now our two armies have all been completed, and there is no need to worry about it." Worry, but Zhang Yu did not disgrace his mission. So far, he has conquered Tongzhou, Jizhou, Yongping and Zunhua. Commanding Jiang Yu, Chen Xu of Yongping Mansion, Guo Liang, etc. all surrendered with the city, it can be said that Beiping Mansion is in my hands."

All the faces of the generals suddenly showed joy.

The strategic goals have been taken down one by one, and the accumulation of small things will become big, and one day they will be able to break into Nanjing.

The next moment.

Zhu Di said again: "But there is a fly in the ointment, Zhang Yu failed to capture Xiasongting Pass and Shanhaiguan Pass, and there is another bad news, that is, Zhang Yu wrote a letter asking for help, and now Daning Buwan has led [-] troops to attack Zunhua, If he can't resist, Bu Wan will drive straight from Zunhua to the city of Beiping. Although Yongping surrendered, Chen Xu and others not only cannot support Zunhua, but also need to send people to support them to resist Shanhaiguan, so I plan to condemn Xu Zhong led his subordinates to support Yongping, and the rest of the generals followed me to assist Zunhua, what do you want to say."

Everyone was shocked. Daning, who is a dog day, really took advantage of this juncture to make troubles. Everyone used to go out together, which really didn't show any face.

"Is there any movement in Shanhaiguan now?" Zhen Wu asked, since Daning has already moved, there must be no more problems in Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Di said: "Shanhaiguan has no action yet, but we must guard against it."

Zhen Wu nodded. The Shanhai Pass did not move, so the situation would not be too critical. After all, they Huailai reorganized 3 soldiers, plus their own soldiers, and some defenders in Kaipingdi, there are more than [-] people .

It's a pity that Kaiping still needs to guard against Mongolia, and there are not many defenders. Only Kaiping defender Xu Zhong can draw 2000 people to participate in Jingnan. Then let Xu Zhong support Yongping, and the rest support Zunhua. There is no problem with this decision. .

And Zhen Wu and his 3 people, plus Zhang Yu's more than 1 people, also have an army of nearly [-], which can fight Bu Wan.

Just a little tight on time.

They need to defeat Bu Wan as soon as possible, and support Zhu Neng who is heading south before the imperial army attacks.

After all, Zhu Neng has only a few thousand people, so it is not a big problem to use the terrain and city gates to delay the imperial army for a few days, and it is definitely unstoppable.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhu Di waved his hands and said, "Okay, since there is nothing to say, let's go down and get ready, and then we need to march at a gallop, everyone, don't hold back."

"Yes." The generals stood up and said yes.

Then, they walked towards the outside of each other, but when Zhen Wu was about to take a step, Zhu Di suddenly said: "Zhen Wu, wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."

Zhen Wu was taken aback, nodded, and sat down again.

The others didn't think much, and they all left after a while, leaving only Zhen Wu and Zhu Di in the meeting hall.

Zhen Wu watched Zhu Di sink into deep thought, and didn't bother him. He waited until Zhu Di thought clearly and cleared his mind, and then he heard Zhu Di say, "Bu Wan is here to attack, do you know what I'm most worried about?"

"Time." Zhen Wu said without thinking.

In fact, Beiping is now like a sieve that leaks everywhere. Except for the biggest crisis of the imperial army coming to attack, it is Juyongguan, Gubeikou, Songtingguan, and Shanhaiguan.

Now Juyongguan and Gubeikou have been completely blocked, but Songtingguan and Shanhaiguan to the east are still in the hands of the imperial court. This has led to the fact that people in the two passes can send troops at any time if they want to. Fortunately, Zhenwu and the others have captured Zunhua He Yongping, with these two places blocking and buffering, they also have time to provide support, so as not to fall into a too passive situation.

And there is one more thing to be thankful for, that is, it is impossible for the imperial court to support Songtingguan and Shanhaiguan without passing through Beiping. Therefore, if Songtingguan and Shanhaiguan want to send troops, they can only rely on Daning and Liaodong behind them. .

However, with the strength of Daning and Liaodong alone, it is impossible to directly defeat them all at once.

Just be afraid, Daning and Liaodong are entangled with them, restraining their power, making them unable to fight against the imperial court with all their strength.

They have to find a way to solve the problems of these two places once and for all, otherwise there will always be two arrows hanging over their heads, which is not a problem, but Bu Wan is not stupid, and probably won't give them a chance.

Zhen Wu couldn't help being a little confused. In history, when did Zhu Di trick King Ning into participating in Jingnan, solve the Daning problem once and for all, and even get Duoyan Sanwei?Is it now?
Zhen Wu doesn't know much about these histories, but judging from his current military vision, they don't have time to attack Daning at all, and if they can beat Bu Wan back to Songting Pass, honestly, it will be a high incense for a while.

Zhu Di nodded at this time, and said: "Yes, it is indeed time. If it was before, I would not be afraid of Bu Wan's 10 people, and I would even have the confidence to defeat him and drive straight to Daning. On the way here, we don't have time to fight Bu Wan, so we can only let Bu Wan calm down as much as possible. Therefore, although I said just now that everyone rushed to help Zunhua, I didn't want to put treasure on the duel. We still need wisdom Take it, so as to delay Daning's advance, so as to spare time to face the imperial army."

"Does Your Highness have any good strategies?" Zhen Wu asked.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Vice General Chen Heng, do you still remember?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhen Wu remembered that he had met Chen Heng at his wedding, but he didn't know anything else.

Zhu Di didn't let Zhen Wu think too much, and took the initiative to speak.

"Speaking of which, Chen Heng and I have a good relationship. Chen Heng was the commander of the Yanshan left guard, and he was the commander of the Beiping capital for a while. At that time, he and I cooperated pretty well. Moreover, Chen Heng has a younger brother who lives in Beiping. , these years have been quite favored by me, so I want to try to see if I can recruit Chen Heng, once Chen Heng is recruited, we should fight together inside and outside, enough to make Bu Wan lose his strength, and return to Songting Pass obediently."

Zhen Wu's eyes lit up, but then he frowned again.

Will Chen Heng surrender?
Zhu Di seemed to know Zhen Wu's doubts, and said, "I'm [-]% sure that Chen Heng will surrender. In fact, Chen Heng is quite affectionate, but he has an obvious shortcoming, that is, he is too cautious and dare not take risks. If Xu is here, I should let Gao Xu go to show my sincerity, and at the same time provoke him, but it is a pity that Gao Xu is not here, so you can only go..."

Having said that, Zhu Di looked at Zhen Wu and added solemnly: "I want to tell you something, you must know that Chen Heng has a [-]% chance of not surrendering. If Gao Xu goes, as a child of the royal family, even if Chen Heng does not surrender, Gao Xu is not in danger of his life, but you are just a county horse, and I am afraid that there will be a big crisis when the time comes."

[-]% chance?
This probability is not low.

Zhen Wu couldn't help admiring Zhu Di. Since they raised their troops, Zheng Heng in Miyun, Xu Zhong in Kaiping, Fang Sheng in Tongzhou, Mao Sui in Jizhou, Jiang Yu in Zunhua, Chen Xu in Yongping, Guo Liang, and the officials in Beiping City have all been on short notice. Dropped them in a short time.

Now add Chen Heng with a [-]% probability.

These people don't know whether it was Zhu Di's arrangement in advance, or whether they were infected by Zhu Di's personal charm over the years. If these people hadn't surrendered them, they might not even have a chance to struggle, and they would definitely be besieged by the court several times. The waves couldn't even splash.

This is probably also the reason why Zhu Yunqi was afraid of Zhu Di.

No one knows how many contacts Zhu Di has accumulated after guarding Beiping for so many years.

Speaking of it, even King Gu fled to the capital in a hurry, which made Zhen Wu feel strange. As Zhu Di's younger brother, King Gu could not be in danger of death, but King Gu didn't even deal with Zhu Di while guarding the huge Xuan Mansion. One or two, directly abandon the Xuan Mansion and flee.

King Gu's escape, although there is no possibility of conspiring with Zhu Di on the surface, but in the end it is beneficial to Zhu Di. If nothing else, King Gu only needs to say that Zhu Di is about to send troops to crusade. Can you freely discuss here to help Zunhua from Huailai? !

Impossible, at least Zhu Di couldn't be as calm as he is now.

Whether there is something tricky in it, Zhen Wu doesn't know, but Zhen Wu can clearly feel that Zhu Di has a dark force that has been operating for many years.

It's a pity that Zhu Di should only talk to Dao Yan about these powers, and won't let others know about them.

But no matter what, it is difficult for Zhu Di to be able to calm down. Apart from the fact that Zhu Yunqi is too weak, I have to say that Zhu Di is really powerful. The only person who successfully rebelled against the feudal lord.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu smiled, stood up and said to Zhu Di, "Father, is my son-in-law still afraid of danger? Zhen Wu then went to see Chen Heng, and my son-in-law promised that he would try his best to persuade Chen Heng to surrender."

Zhu Di also got up, came to Zhen Wu excitedly, took Zhen Wu's arm, and said emotionally: "It's so good, but I feel sorry for you and Yuying, but when the time comes, if you are really in danger, I will allow you to surrender." After leaving the imperial court, even if you are sent to the capital, one day we will still meet again."

Zhen Wu was a little moved, but he didn't say much, he just said: "Why does the father say those heretics, you just wait for my good news." After speaking, Zhen Wu continued: "It's not right now. Chi, I'll go down and get ready to go to Zunhua overnight."

"and many more."

Zhu Di said to hold Zhen Wu back: "Before you go to Zunhua, go to Peiping first, and I will write a letter in hand, and you will pass it to Chen Heng's brother, and he will definitely accompany you. With Chen Heng's brother here, no matter what you do Seeing Chen Heng or persuading Chen Heng to surrender is a great help."

Zhen Wu's face was filled with joy: "This is the best."

"Don't be careless, you need to act cautiously." Zhu Di warned.

Zhen Wu should be.

Zhu Di looked at Zhen Wu, opened his mouth, his expression was a bit tangled, he didn't know what to say, and he was probably reluctant to bear Zhen Wu in his heart. You must know that Zhen Wu would benefit him more on the battlefield, but now Bu Wan's problem is not After he was gone, he had to let Zhen Wu take the risk.

He looked at Zhen Wu for a long time, finally sighed, and only uttered: "Okay, then go down and get ready. Before you leave, come to me to pick up the manuscript."

Zhen Wu hummed, then hurried down to prepare to go.

……

That night, Zhen Wu took Cao Xiaoman and headed towards Beiping. After arriving in Peiping, Zhen Wu followed the address given by Zhu Di and found Chen Heng's brother.

Brother Chen Heng read Zhu Di's letter, and without hesitation, he nodded in response, and even saw Zhen Wu was a little surprised, and explained with a smile: "Zhen Junma doesn't have to be like this. There are many friends in Wang Po, and now Yan Wangjing is in trouble, I always have to repay the previous kindness, even if I lose in the end, at worst, I will change my face and move to another country."

Zhen Wu felt a little emotional and didn't know what to say.

Chen Heng's brother said again: "Don't worry Zhen Junma, I understand my brother's temper, he had a lot of respect for King Yan before, and he must be willing to help King Yan, don't worry too much."

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "If that's the case, I'll trouble you, but time is running out now, look..."

Brother Chen Hengzu slapped his forehead and said: "Look at what I wasted, I'll go change my clothes and tell my family, you stay later in the hall, I'll be fine soon."

After finishing speaking, Chen Heng's brother hurriedly went down to change clothes.

And Zhen Wu didn't have the mood to sit, so he got up and walked outside the hall to look in the direction of his home. He had only been away from home for a short dozen days, but it seemed as if he had gone out to fight for many years. The picture of the son, from which Zhu Yuying, Zhang Yuqing, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi appeared.

Seeing this, Cao Xiaoman suggested, "Commander, do you want to go back?"

Zhen Wu shook his head and said: "I don't have time, and I have to leave in a hurry when I go back. This will only increase their worries. It's better not to go back."

Seeing this, Cao Xiaoman sighed and didn't say any more.

After a while, the brothers of Chen Heng's clan came out after changing their clothes, and without much exchange of greetings, they got on their horses and headed towards Zunhua.

The few people galloped all the way, and they didn't have time to eat along the way, but when they were really sleepy, they took a rest on the road for a while, and then went on their way again.

It wasn't until Zhen Wu and the others arrived in Zunhua that they realized that Bu Wan had left Songting Pass and was stationed at Shahe, while Zhang Yu had led more than 1 people to hide in Zunhua City and wait in full force.

This time, Zhen Wu was in a bit of trouble. In the confrontation between the two armies, it was extremely difficult to hide from others and meet the opposing general.

Zhen Wu had no choice but to lead everyone to find Zhang Yu first.

After the few people met, there was a burst of joyful greetings, not to mention for the time being, Zhang Yu frowned when he heard about Zhen Wu's coming, and said, "I have a way for you to see Chen Heng, but I can't guarantee safety."

Zhen Wu looked up at Zhang Yu: "General Zhang, please explain in detail."

Zhang Yu nodded, organized his language and said: "I faced Bu Wan with nearly 1 people with more than [-] people. To be honest, the pressure was really great, so I had to think of ways. Coincidentally, I just paid a lot of money yesterday. The other party has a small flag, but his loyalty cannot be guaranteed, if you let him take you there, I don’t know if he will shout in the middle of the way, or something will happen.”

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said, "We can't wait any longer. The court soldiers and horses are getting closer day by day. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better. Even if it is dangerous, we have to give it a try. In this way, General Zhang, try to contact that Come on Xiaoqi, at the worst I will hold his life hostage and force him to cooperate."

"That's fine too."

Zhang Yu said: "Those people sneaked in to meet Chen Heng?!"

Zhen Wu straightened Chen Heng's disciples and said, "It's just the two of us."

"Just the two of you?" Zhang Yu asked, "Is this too dangerous?"

Zhen Wu smiled arrogantly, and asked back: "General Zhang, you are staying in the army of [-] at the moment, isn't it dangerous?"

Zhang Yu suddenly lost his temper, not to mention that Zunhua City was in danger, and he might not be very safe.

He smiled wryly and said: "It is said that Zhenjun's horse is full of courage, and it is really extraordinary when you see it now. Since you have made up your mind, then I will not persuade you. When the time comes, I will lead the cavalry and stand by for you to plunder the formation. In the event of an accident, you should make as much noise as possible, as long as I see it, I will lead people into the battle, and if you don't expect it, maybe I can rescue you."

Zhen Wu nodded in gratitude and said, "Thank you for that, but I hope there will be no accidents, not only for my life, our most important purpose is to persuade Chen Heng to surrender."

Zhang Yu nodded, that's true.

Chen Hengruo's surrender is almost equivalent to Bu Wan's crisis.

Afterwards, Zhang Yu went down to contact Xiao Qi in secret, and at the same time had someone prepare two captive clothing from the Daning army for Zhen Wu to disguise as.

After the bribed Xiaoqi is settled, the two of them will secretly sneak into the enemy camp and meet with Chen Heng.

Fighting a war is never just about rushing and killing, it is for everything.

Who cares what kind of cat it is as long as it can catch mice? !
