Daming: From the end of Hongwu

267 Chapter 265 - Huang Zicheng is really dissatisfied

The Hutuo River was sparkling, flowing freely and unhurriedly. After the two-hour scuffle between Zhen Wu and the others ended, each department began to count their own casualties and gains.

After the counting was completed, when Zhen Wu led Zhang Wu, Xue Lu and the others to Zhu Di's military tent, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others had all arrived.

At this moment, basically all the generals gathered together, discussing the great battle with great interest. When they saw Zhen Wu and the others coming in, they greeted Zhen Wu and the others with smiles.

Even Zhang Yu, who was the calmest in the past, couldn't help but enviously said to Zhen Wu: "You guys have made a big splash this time."

Hearing this, Zhen Wu laughed from ear to ear, and said, "Luck, luck, it's all luck."

This time, they really made a big splash. Not only did Xue Lu capture Li Jian, but Zhen Wu also caught Ning Zhong because he led the crowd to catch up early, and was captured by the soldiers.

These two people have extraordinary identities. Li Jian is Geng Bingwen's left deputy general, and Ning Zhong is Geng Bingwen's right deputy general. For Geng Bingwen, although he managed to escape into Zhending City, after the first battle, his two lieutenants were killed. It's rare in the world to lose it.

Zhen Wu turned to look at Zhu Neng, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, thank you very much, if you hadn't bit Geng Bingwen, these big fish would have escaped with Geng Bingwen, how could we catch them all in one net?" So many big fish."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu asked in a pause: "By the way, the contribution you made this time is not insignificant."

"That's right." Zhu Neng raised his head arrogantly, very arrogant.

This time, it was Zhu Neng's credit for holding Geng Bingwen tightly, and at the same time capturing the capital commander Gu Cheng, Liu Sui and others. The credit is no less than Zhen Wu's.

Zhen Wu was aware of this matter, but he couldn't see Zhu Neng's arrogant appearance, so he deliberately bumped into Zhu Neng, and scolded with a smile: "What's so stinky, what kind of immorality."

Zhu Neng raised his eyebrows. Others may not know Zhen Wu's temperament, but he and Zhen Wu have known each other for many years. How could he not know that Zhen Wu is actually quite proud inside? A comparison, that is, the second brother met the eldest brother.

So, Zhu Neng pretended to be shocked and said, "Aren't you also acting like this?!"

Zhen Wu was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment both of them laughed heartily, making Zhang Yu who was on the side sigh secretly, he is really young, compared to his son Zhang Fu who is inferior.

"By the way, where is Your Highness?" Zhen Wu asked at this moment.

Zhu Neng pursed his lips and whispered in Zhen Wu's ear, "Are you crying with Gu Cheng inside?"

"cry?"

Zhen Wu's eyes showed doubts, but Zhu Neng nodded seriously. Seeing this, Zhen Wu's mind turned, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard Zhu Di said before that he had friendship with Gu Cheng, so now Zhu Di reckoned that he was in love with Gu Cheng again. Reminiscing about the past, let's make love.

Speaking of it, Zhu Di still has a lot of experience in using tears.

At least it's easy to win people's sympathy, and Gu Cheng is not the first person to cry to Zhu Di, and he certainly will not be the last.

Not to mention too much, King Ning must see Zhu Di's tears.

Thinking of this, another thought suddenly came to Zhen Wu's mind, they fought so easily, Gu Cheng and those commanders would not let the water go, right? !

This seems to be really impossible to tell.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but shook his head and gave a wry smile, but then he put all his strength behind him. After all, it didn't matter to him whether the water was released or not.

He looked sideways at the rest of the generals.

At this time Xue Lu was surrounded by many people, all of them were chattering, no need to guess, they knew they were talking about Xue Lu's military exploits, Zhen Wu couldn't help but laughed sincerely again.

The generals are united in one mind, with no impurities in their hearts, and they fight side by side, which is very good.

Zhen Wu began to put his mind back on the things he should consider. He came to Zhang Yu's side and whispered: "Old Zhang, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhang Yu was puzzled.

Zhen Wu calculated in his mind and said: "Can you lend me some soldiers, I will return you after I capture the prisoners, the main thing is to attack the city next time, I can't let the proportion of veterans under my command drop too much, I don't have many Borrow, three thousand... no, two thousand will do."

"Don't you also have some pawns in your hands?" Zhang Yu asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Zhen Wu smiled wryly: "It's not enough, you look at the scenery of our fight, but the group of dogs below me, I don't know where they learned the stink, they often charge up and ignore it, causing heavy casualties."

Zhang Yu had the most pawns, but he also felt that there were not enough pawns, not to mention that the pawns still needed to be screened and integrated, and only how many soldiers could really make up for the army.

"To be honest, my establishment is also very short of staff."

Zhang Yu said in embarrassment, but he looked at Zhen Wu's look of being a rascal, then thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Although I gathered the most soldiers, I understand that this battle was fought by everyone. I have no reason to keep everything in my own hands, but I can't just give it to you, you can see if this works, let's gather the soldiers collected from various ministries in a while, and when His Highness comes down, we can discuss and share a share."

This method is reliable.

Zhen Wu gave Zhang Yu a thumbs up.

This is Zhang Yu, enough to understand the general situation.

But Zhang Yu was a little bit bitter, the war has been fought so far, there is a shortage of soldiers, and there is still a lack of reliable soldiers who are willing to follow them to the end.

Continuing the fight like this is not the way to go, the number of soldiers will only decrease, and there must be some way to get some soldiers and horses.

But where the hell can I find some soldiers.

Zhang Yu thought about it anxiously.

……

I don't know how long it took before Zhu Di finished crying and came to see the generals.

Li Jian, Ning Zhong, Gu Cheng and others were all sent to Peiping by Zhu Di, and these people were asked to assist Zhu Gaochi in defending the city. Whether these people surrendered sincerely or pretended to surrender, there is nothing wrong with this.

After dealing with these people, Zhu Di led the generals to formulate a plan for screening and distribution of soldiers.

Looking at the total number of soldiers and horses under his command, Zhu Di felt a little worried, but no matter how worried he was, the battle still had to be fought.

Now that Zhending Mansion has been beaten up like this by them, if Geng Bingwen is not arrested, it would be a bit of a fly in the ointment, and if Geng Bingwen is arrested, it can be said that the court has slapped the court heavily.

Therefore, Zhu Di ordered to take a break and wait until the next day to attack Zhending City with all his strength.

However, after three consecutive days, even if the army attacked the city with all its strength and the generals took turns to fight, Geng Bingwen's defense of Zhending City was impenetrable, so that Zhen Wu and others did not take advantage of it.

And looking at it like this, it won't be a problem for Geng Bingwen to stay on guard for another ten and a half months.

This made Zhen Wu angry.

Geng Bingwen, the dog day, fought so casually in the field, and even since they arrived in Zhuozhou, all the actions of Geng Bingwen were exactly as they expected. How could he have this ability now to guard the city so well.

This made Zhen Wu and the generals a little unconvinced.

It was Zhu Di who sighed and said: "Geng Bingwen lost in the field battle before, but he is more than 60 years old now, which is understandable, but now it seems that although Geng Bingwen is old, he still fought with his father in the end It would be a strange thing if he doesn’t even have this ability.”

Speaking of which, Zhu Di was not good at attacking cities.

In fact, not only Zhu Di, but all the generals under Zhu Di’s command are basically not good at it. This can’t be blamed on the generals. Most of the generals present are young generals, especially those like Zhen Wu, who can almost be said to have grown up with Zhu Di. big impact.

In these years, he often went out with Zhu Di to fight against the Mongols. Not only did he learn the cavalry raids that Zhu Di was good at, he was also very good at using them. There is nowhere to teach.

Moreover, if the generals in an army are biased, when they practice the soldiers, the soldiers will also have to deflect.

Sergeant Yan suffered a stroke, even if he was an infantryman, if he threw a horse at him, he could turn over and perform an equestrian show. This seemed unbelievable to the Southern Army, but it was a survival skill for the Yan Army. If you have to use a horse, you must know how to use it, otherwise you will not be able to run as fast as others, but let them climb the top of the wall, their movements are really unskilled.

At this time, Zhu Neng asked for a battle: "Your Highness, there is no need to raise Geng Bingwen's morale. I would like to go out to fight again in the afternoon, and I will definitely capture Zhending City."

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I can't fight anymore."

"Why can't I fight?"

Zhu Di took out a letter, still on the table, said: "The old monk has sent a letter, Shanhaiguan has gathered troops, and intends to leave the pass and move me to Peiping."

This…

Calculating the time, no matter how slow the Liaodong soldiers and horses gather at Shanhaiguan, it is almost time to finish gathering by this time.

This really can't go on.

However, the results of this battle are remarkable. The world has already known that the Yan army is not so easy to bully, let alone destroy.

"Then let's regroup the army in the afternoon and return to Peiping?" Zhang Yu asked.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "That's right, we will leave in the afternoon, but we will return home. We have caused such a big incident, and we have to give an explanation to the court. I will write a letter to defend myself, asking the court to kill the traitor and release him." Qi, wait for the king, wash away the grievances of the king of Xiang, etc., as long as the court does not take measures against the vassal king, I am willing to stop fighting with the court to continue the family relationship and restore peace to the world. You and others will also sign my name on the register to express your wish for peace. .”

As soon as these words fell, Zhen Wu was stunned.

Is this an confession?

Pure fucking embarrassment!
The problem is, it's enough for Zhu Di to write the letter by himself, and he has to bring the royal family to write the letter together to show peace of mind. Doesn't this make Zhu Yunzhang mad?
The generals looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

Their boss is also treacherous, and I don't know if it was the idea given by the old monk. After all, who doesn't know that if the court is willing to step back and negotiate a peace at this time, it will definitely lose its majesty.

What is the imperial court? !
If the imperial court wins the battle, it can show the heart of peace, Zhao'an may negotiate a peace, but if it loses the peace, no matter how stupid Zhu Yunqi is, it is impossible for him to agree.

By doing this, Zhu Di made it clear that he was bullying his eldest nephew.

Just imagine, Zhu Di's self-defense and self-expression will definitely make some gentle courtiers feel good about him, even the common people in the world who are not willing to fight wars will think of Zhu Di well.

As the saying goes, if you get cheap, you have to be good.

Zhu Di enthusiastically began to organize the language and write the memorial. After writing, he asked Zhen Wu and others to add their names and sent it out. Afterwards, the generals went down to organize the army and return to Peiping.

Zhen Wu knew that Zhu Yunxuan absolutely did not agree to strike, and he also knew that Li Jinglong would play after Geng Bingwen. He still vaguely remembered that Li Jinglong would fight all the way to Beiping City, but he didn't know exactly when Zhen Wu would fight. .

However, when Zhen Wu's army marched to Zhuozhou, he specifically asked Zhu Di to keep some more troops in Zhuozhou, and personally told Li Si to take precautions, trying to see if he could change history.

Li Si was the guard of Zhuozhou City, he was a member of Zhen Wu's faction, so he would give Zhen Wu's instructions a guarantee, which reassured Zhen Wu a lot.

Zhen Wu thought to himself, there is Zhuozhou City blocking the road in front of Beiping City, as long as Li Jinglong fights over and Zhuozhou is not breached immediately, they can increase their troops to Zhuozhou, so that they will not be directly attacked by Li Jinglong to Beiping City.

Speaking of which, his family members were all in Peking, and he really didn't want to see Peking fall into turmoil.

……

At this time, in Nanjing City, there was already a huge wave in the court.

The defeat of Xiong County and Mozhou in the past few days can be explained by a small setback in the offensive, but Geng Bingwen's 13 army was broken up by the Yan Army, defeated, and beaten violently in the city by the Yan Army Three days, finally swagger away.

How else can this be explained.

This is an obvious defeat.

Especially after Zhu Yunxuan received Zhu Di's letter, he was trembling with anger from the content inside, sitting on the dragon chair, clenched his fists tightly in secret, his veins bulged, which showed how strong the anger in his heart was.

But Kang Yu, the censor in the court, seemed unable to see Zhu Yunqi's anger, and was still expressing his political opinions.

"The saddest thing in the world is the rebellion of relatives. Now all the kings are the sons and sons of the Taizu. In terms of honor, they are all uncles of His Majesty. How can they listen to the prejudice of one or two ministers and damage the friendship of the family?" Just imagine, if it weren't for some people to slander and punish King Yan in disasters, how could King Yan raise his troops to resist? Now your majesty may wish to see that King Yan raised his troops for more than two months, and the court has mobilized no less than 50 troops. Has anyone captured one of King Yan's servants? Now that the imperial court is defeated, is this not the spirit of the Taizu, who does not want to see relatives and soldiers meet each other? It is a warning. Your Majesty may wish to think again, why is this not the advice of the world's counselors? The bitter fruit of not wanting to offer advice, otherwise, why would the army be defeated? Such an attack is against the law of nature and humanity. I dare to say that if I go on like this, within ten years, it will be too late to regret it."

Kang Yu's words were sad and sentimental, and he knelt down and said in tears: "So, I implore Your Majesty, to refrain from attacking and attack the kings with acts of benevolence and righteousness, so as to strengthen our great Ming Dynasty and long-term peace."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes seemed to be eating people, but Kang Yu turned a blind eye.

But at this moment, Huang Zicheng stood up angrily: "Is Kang Yushi saying that Huang is a slanderer?"

Kang Yu glanced sideways at Huang Zicheng, and said flatly, "Don't dare."

Huang Zicheng said angrily: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. How can you be so afraid of being frustrated for a while? I have millions of soldiers in the dynasty, thousands of miles in the territory, and the soldiers of the king of Yan are lucky enough to take advantage of it. If a beggar picks up a penny, you will regard the beggar as a millionaire businessman."

"Is this how you look at military affairs?" Kang Yu was shocked, and then asked angrily.

"What's wrong with me? Your Majesty can gather another 50 troops in no time to attack Beiping from all directions. There is a huge disparity between the number of people and the widows. How can the King of Yan be defeated? Isn't it difficult to attack the King of Yan? In my opinion, a small defeat now is not a bad thing. It will make the generals feel ashamed and angry, and they will overwhelm Beiping. It is presumably not this year, the war will be settled, and King Yan will be sent to the capital. Kang Yushi might as well go See King Yan, who will make His Majesty regret it too late."

"You...you are talking nonsense, how can wars be judged only by numbers, you...you are really a traitor."

"You old man is a traitor."

……

The two immediately quarreled in the court hall, as lively as a shrew cursing the street, Zhu Yunwen got a headache from being disturbed, got up angrily, and waved his hands back.

When Huang Zicheng saw this, he lost his quarrel with Kang Yu, he changed his mind, and chased him to the study to meet Zhu Yunqi, and Kang Yu became even more anxious when he saw Huang Zicheng.

An old friend of his comes over to comfort Kang Yu.

"Why are you doing this? Huang Zicheng is an old lecturer at the top position, and his family is upright. You are asking for trouble. From my point of view, if you have made trouble today, you will be the best in your life."

Kang Yu didn't care.

I just thought worriedly in my heart, I am afraid that no one will be an official of His Majesty today.

And the other side.

Zhu Yunqi returned to the study, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, without Zhu Yunqi's notice, all ran over on their own initiative. They watched Zhu Yunqi venting his anger wantonly in the study, and kept cursing Geng Bingwen in their mouths.

"I trust him so much, how could he let me down so much, and even cause me to lose face, and be so ashamed in front of the world, it's really not a pity to die."

"Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, and don't listen to the nonsense of short-sighted people such as Kang Yushi. Just like what I said in the court hall, the world is in the hands of Your Majesty, and King Yan can only be a bird in a cage, waiting to be captured. "Huang Zicheng stepped forward to persuade.

Zhu Yunqi really trusted Huang Zicheng more in his heart, and he also simply calculated that he had so many soldiers, not to mention one-on-one exchange with the Yan army, two-on-one exchange, and Zhu Di who can be exchanged has no one to use, and he will be captured Down.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen's furious mood eased slightly.

However, Zhu Yunqi still asked irritablely: "Then what do you say now?"

Huang Zicheng thought briefly: "Geng Bingwen is a veteran, he has lost his sharpness long ago, why not change him!"

Qi Tai had been listening all the time. In his heart, as long as Huang Zicheng and Zhu Yunqi didn't do anything too flamboyant, he didn't plan to say more. These days he saw it clearly. Compared with Huang Zicheng, he was really nothing.

But now, when he heard about the general change, he couldn't bear it anymore. He had been in the Ministry of War in his early years. Although he had never been on the battlefield himself, he had studied various battle reports and classic battles a lot. How could he not know the general change? Harm.

Therefore, Qi Tai quickly said: "Think twice, Your Majesty. Although General Geng was frustrated for a while, he was also a veteran who followed Taizu all the way back then. He has rich experience. As long as he adjusts, he will definitely be able to confront the Yan army again. If we rashly Changing generals does not mean that we have admitted this great defeat. In this way, how should the soldiers of the army think about it, fearing that the army will not be stable, and this will also chill the hearts of other generals, which will definitely cause other generals to wait for the battle passively, fearing that they will be affected by defeat. responsibility."

What Qi Tai said was all about the disadvantages of changing generals before a battle since ancient times, and he was thinking about Zhu Yunqi, but Zhu Yunqi was in a hurry for Geng Bingwen at this moment, and his eyes were habitually looking at Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng understood Zhu Yunwen's intentions and said: "Your Majesty is fine, the strength of the Yan army is very different from your Majesty's, and changing generals will not affect the outcome."

Hearing what Huang Zicheng said, Zhu Yunwen nodded naturally. He didn't wait for Qi Tai to speak again, and asked directly: "Then who does Mr. Huang think can be a general?"

Huang Zicheng thought about it, and said firmly: "Cao Guogong, Li Jinglong, has a good family education, and he grew up in the army since he was young, and he is also in his prime. If he is a general, he will definitely be a Poyan."

Zhu Yunqi was a little suspicious. After all, Li Jinglong didn't have any good records to show.

Qi Tai immediately objected.

However, I don't know if Huang Zicheng was worried about losing his face, or worried about the loss of trust in Zhu Yunqi's heart, so he stubbornly supported Li Jinglong.

The straight-talking tongue is full of lotus flowers, boasting that Li Jinglong is a rare genius in the world, and even said that he will use his own head to guarantee Li Jinglong, anyway, it conveys a meaning: Li Jinglong did it.

Zhu Yunqi saw that Huang Zicheng had said so much, and the doubt in his heart disappeared, so he nodded in response, and said: "That's okay, then Li Jinglong."

You have no jokes.

Zhu Yunwen nodded in agreement, so Qi Tai had no choice but to stop talking. He glanced at Huang Zicheng, thinking in his heart, I hope Li Jinglong can really do it.

The generation of God of War Li Jinglong is finally about to start his own journey as a God of War at this moment.
