Daming: From the end of Hongwu

286 Chapter 284 - Please offer your head
Datong, Shanxi is an important border defense town in the north, and further north is the boundless grassland. It has always been windy and bitter, and it is better than Beiping. Especially now it is February, and the wind is as cold as a knife, blowing straight at the face.

Even though Zhen Wu grew up in Beiping and has fought with ice skates, snow swords and swords for many years, he still finds it unbearable to think that he was in Peiping some time ago, going out with a mink fur hat, returning home with rich clothes and fine food, and having his beautiful wife in his arms at night.

In this world, the transition from extravagance to frugality is the most test of adaptability.

Zhen Wu sat in the big tent of the right army, and rubbed his face vigorously, so that the blood in his body could flow faster, but the face just rubbed was a little warm, but at this moment, Zhang Wu flung the curtain of the big tent and let the blood flow from the outside. Walking in, along the way, a gust of cold wind from outside howled into the big tent.

Zhen Wu glared at Zhang Wu angrily.

But Zhang Wu still didn't realize it, and rubbed his hands and complained loudly to Zhen Wu: "Datong is really a fucking place for people, it's okay to be cold, and the wind is always blowing, God can't live in peace for a while."

"You fucking have the face to say, you can't move less when you get paid? We've been keeping the heating for a long time, and you blow it clean." Zhen Wu said with even more resentment.

Only then did Zhang Wu come to his senses, and when he turned his head to see, Meng Shan, Zheng Heng, Tan Yuan, Wang Zhen, Chen Heng and the others had already arrived, and quickly apologized to everyone.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry everyone."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu walked to his own seat and sat down, and asked Zhen Wu: "General You, we have been in Datong for two days, can we fight? When will we fight? We have to tell you. You can bear the cold, but it’s not a problem for the soldiers to huddle together every day to keep warm.”

After Zhang Wu's words came out, the rest of the generals also looked over.

After their army arrived at the city of Datong, they have been standing still. Some smart people have realized that coming this time is not as simple as simply beating Datong.

Zhen Wu didn't let everyone guess too much, and said directly: "No fight."

When Zhu Di approached Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu and others to discuss attacking Datong, not all the middle-level generals participated. After the meeting, Zhu Di also gave everyone a gag order.

Therefore, many people still think that they came here this time to fight Datong.

Just like playing Daning back then.

And in the eyes of many people, Datong is more reason to fight for King Yan.

Because Datong was originally the fiefdom of the acting king Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui was abolished by Zhu Yunqi last year as a commoner, and Zhu Gui is not only Zhu Di's thirteenth brother, but also Xu Miaoyun's brother-in-law.

That's right, Zhu Gui married Xu Da's second daughter. From this point of view, Zhu Yunqi took care of Zhu Gui, and now he is going to take care of Zhu Di. Xu Da's son and old subordinates didn't jump out and turn against Zhu Yunqi. It is considered to respect Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is simply unwise to expect the generals of Xu's faction to attack Zhu Di with all their heart.

Furthermore, is it too much for Zhu Yunqi to leave a title for the king and reward a rich and idle life?
You have to go to the end with your own family.

Under such circumstances, no one should murmur, if they accidentally provoke Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunqi would not know how to treat them cruelly.

I'm afraid it's even more embarrassing to talk about.

A soldier who has worked hard and fought all his life in the army, no one can bear to meet someone who is ruthless.

At this time, following Zhen Wu's silence, many people frowned in doubt.

"Do not hit?"

Zhang Wu was even more puzzled and asked: "Why didn't you fight? Although Dai Wang was abolished, I don't believe that no one is willing to avenge Dai Wang's three guards. As long as His Royal Highness speaks out, even Datong City There have been troops guarding the border all year round, and it is a high-rise and important town, but the interior is a little chaotic, and we are attacking from the outside, within half a month, we will definitely be able to take down Datong City."

Xue Lu also continued to say at this time: "Yes, when Datong City is captured, let's collect the soldiers and horses near Datong, and the troops will be stronger. Then it would be better to go south with the whip and directly hit Nanjing City."

The two of them got too many benefits in the Battle of Daning. From controlling more than a thousand soldiers and horses, they expanded to tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop. When they committed a collection addiction, all they could think about was how many troops to save. .

This kind of mentality is normal, and Zhen Wu also understands that he often imagines that he has 20 troops in his hands.

But understanding is understanding.

But as a general in command, he couldn't be controlled by this kind of psychology, especially because he lost even the most basic sanity.

You must know that in this world, soldiers are more expensive than good soldiers, never many.

Disagreeing soldiers, even if there are millions of them, are of no use.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhen Wu glared at the two of them angrily, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "You two now hold the lives of more than ten thousand soldiers in your hands, and you think it's the thousands of households before? You can't help it." Are you two naive? If more soldiers can determine the outcome, and Li Jinglong has the most soldiers, why don't you give him the city of Peiping."

Seeing Zhen Wu's stern voice, the generals couldn't help but straighten their backs and straighten their expressions even if they were not talking about them. Xue Lu and Zhang Wu were immediately trained, and they stood up obediently and listened to the training with their heads bowed. .

Zhen Wu snorted coldly and said, "You two can't talk in the future. I will punish you to be grooms. I don't believe that you two can't remember the lesson."

The two hurriedly said in a panic: "General You, please calm down, I know my mistakes in my humble position, and I will definitely think more about it in the future."

Zhen Wu looked at the two of them with his eyes, and seeing that the two of them really listened to him, he closed his eyes and said angrily: "Okay, forget it this time, sit down."

As soon as his tone softened, the other generals in the tent also breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of the people present had the same thoughts as Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, and thought that there would be a lot of benefits from playing Datong, but they were not as favored by Zhen Wu as Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, so they didn't dare to say it immediately. Sighed it was dangerous.

This time it was Zhang Wu Xuelu who carried the thunder for them.

Tan Zhong Wang Tong followed Tan Yuan Wang Zhen, saw Zhang Wu and Xue Lu being reprimanded by Zhen Wu, they secretly winked and laughed, which provoked Zhang Wu to give them an angry look.

Zhang Wu, Xue Lu, Tan Yuan, and Wang Zhen are the four independent generals under Zhen Wu, who are most trusted by Zhen Wu. After reprimanding Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, Zhen Wu also intends to train Zhang Wu and Xue Lu. Afterwards, Xue Lu organized his language briefly and explained to the two of them why they did not fight Datong City.

"You two think that Datong can be recruited by His Highness if you have soldiers? Datong is different from Daning. Daning and our Beiping have been inseparable for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers. What is Datong? The most cousins, there are Xuan There is Taiyuan below, so why protect Beiping for us? It’s really reorganized, and you won’t be afraid of chaos in your army.”

After hearing this, Zhang Wu and Xue Lu suddenly realized.

Tan Yuan said at this moment: "Then what is our purpose here?"

Zhen Wu said with a smile: "I called everyone here today, it is for everyone, this time there is only one purpose, and that is to wait for Li Jinglong."

"Waiting for Li Jinglong?"

Tan Yuan was puzzled and said: "In Shanxi, we are not familiar with the landscape, and the soldiers have no intention of protecting their families. It should not be appropriate to fight Li Jinglong here."

"You're right."

Zhen Wu rubbed his hands together and said: "So we are here just to walk Li Jinglong's army, think about it, we are still freezing here, who can resist Li Jinglong's southern army, let Li Jinglong lead the army It's better to make a move than to accumulate strength in Texas."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present basically understood.

Zhen Wu went on to say: "Calculating the time, Li Jinglong's army should have entered Shanxi as well. It's time for us to make arrangements. How can we play with Li Jinglong at that time? Xue Lu, you are in charge of the cavalry army. This time you have to make great efforts." , you take your people to garrison in Yunzhou, echo Qiu Fu..."

Just as he was talking, a loud "report" sound came from outside the tent.

Zhen Wu's expression brightened, knowing that there must be important news, he quickly let the messengers in.

After the messenger came in, he knelt down on one knee and reported: "General You, Your Highness asked you to inform General You that Li Jinglong's vanguard army, led by Governor Pingan, has arrived in Laiyuan and is approaching Weizhou. Your Highness asked the right army to move to the right as soon as possible. , according to plan."

Zhen Wu stood up abruptly, and said excitedly, "Go back and tell His Highness that Zhen Wu already knows that the right army will definitely move tomorrow morning."

After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand to make the messenger retreat, and then he quickly came to the map, and while looking at the safe location on the map, he called the generals around and began to arrange the tasks of the generals.

Until the evening, after all the tasks were arranged, let the generals go down to reorganize the army.

……

In the days that followed, the Yan Army and the Southern Army began to be active in the territory of Shanxi. Fang Kuan led the army to block Ping'an in Yuzhou for a few days. After Li Jinglong's army came all over, he abandoned the city and went to Datong.

Ping'an led his army in pursuit, but was blocked by Qiu Fu. The two sides fought for a while, but neither side saw the outcome. At dusk, the two sides retreated and began to confront each other.

When Li Jinglong's army caught up, Pingan led his army out again, and found that Qiu Fu's army had already gone to the building, and Pingan yelled angrily.

After that, Li Jinglong's army marched towards Datong step by step, step by step.

It was extremely difficult to walk along the way.

When they finally reached the city of Datong, Zhu Di and other troops had already fled.

But when Li Jinglong's army wanted to retreat, Zhu Di and other generals would turn out to harass Li Jinglong's army again and again. Dare to pursue rashly.

In this way, it has been a month.

From Weizhou, to Datong, and then to Xuanfu, the troops of both sides in these places are constantly active. Everyone is struggling against the cold north wind and the weather that will suddenly drop at night, but the Yan army can still bear it, but the South Countless soldiers froze to death, and even more had their fingers dropped.

For a while, the morale of the southern army was scattered, and there was even a danger of turmoil.

Just when Li Jinglong didn't intend to get entangled with Zhu Di any more, and he wanted to quit.

In March, Zhu Di's army had gone around Xuanfu and returned to Beiping.

This time, they set off from the southern city of Beiping, entered Shanxi from Weizhou, and then led Li Jinglong's army around in a big circle, and finally returned to Beiping from Juyongguan in the north.

Although there was no battle, all the generals who came back were very happy.

Even Zhu Di was extremely excited.

This time broke Li Jinglong's arrangement of accumulating strength, and consumed Li Jinglong's military strength and morale. After the beginning of spring, his pressure will be much less.

But when everyone was excited about the result of this battle, the imperial court actually sent an envoy to persuade them to surrender.

Persuade?

To put it nicely is called persuading surrender, but to put it bluntly, isn’t it just to negotiate a peace?
After Zhen Wu learned about this, he was completely confused. He remembered that Jing Nan played for four years. Could it be that because of something he did, the butterfly wings flapped and wiped out the time after Jing Nan?
Then how can Zhu Di be the emperor?

What about his prince?
……

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace in Nanjing City, Zhu Yunqi was also asking Huang Zicheng, "Given the time, Gao Wei should have arrived in Beiping."

Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "The last time I sent a letter, I arrived in Zhuozhou. I must have entered Beiping City by now."

"That's good. Gao Wei is a virtuous minister. I think he will live up to my entrustment. If he can return safely this time, I will entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he smiled freely.

It was the first time since King Yan started his army that he smiled so freely, like a child's elation after a successful trick.

He thought, Zhu Di couldn't beat Li Jinglong a year ago, and Zhu Di went to Shanxi to make troubles in the next year, and when Li Jinglong's army arrived, he fled back to Beiping in desperation.

This time, he would also take the initiative to make a move, disgusting Zhu Di.

He thought viciously in his heart: "Zhu Di, Zhu Di, you are yelling at me every day to punish traitors and traitors. It disgusts me. Since you said that your soldiers are afraid of death and you have to lead them to fight against death, then I will see you this time." what would you do."

……

In Beiping City, Yanwang Mansion.

Zhu Di took Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other high-ranking generals in the hall to receive Gao Wei, the emissary to persuade them to surrender.

Everyone was curious and didn't understand what the court was doing all of a sudden.

Really convinced?
Should not be ah.

Zhu Di was beating drums even more in his heart, what would he do if the court really suddenly negotiated a peace.

Therefore, after Gao Wei entered the hall arrogantly and arrogantly, Zhu Di didn't have the mind to talk nonsense at all, and asked directly: "I don't know why you are here."

However, what some people said at the scene did not expect that after Gao Wei came in, he first glanced at Zhu Di arrogantly, and then looked around at the Zhenwu generals in the palace. Like finding fault.

Such impolite appearance immediately made Zhen Wu and the others frown.

But this is just the beginning, what Gao Wei said shocked Zhen Wu and others even more.

I saw that Gao Wei raised his head and said in a loud voice: "The Taizu ascended to the throne, and the emperor succeeded him. Unexpectedly, there was a quarrel with the King of Yan, and the emperor sent a large army to attack. I thought that reconciliation is worse than war, and since ancient times, the righteousness of monarchs and ministers The more you understand, the stronger the kinship and flesh and blood, so I put life and death aside, and I came to Beiping to see King Yan in person, and I came to help King Yan understand the righteousness of this monarch and minister."

hiss.

Zhen Wu took a deep breath. What kind of words are these? No one can understand them.

However, at the next moment, Gao Wei's words stunned Zhen Wu on the spot.

Gao Wei's loud voice then rang out in the hall: "In the past, Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors and took refuge in the east. Why didn't King Yan take the initiative to cut off his head and send it to the capital to escort his beloved descendants and dismiss the guards? Righteousness, so it can explain the suspicion with the emperor, and can stop the villain's estrangement, isn't this greater than Duke Zhou? Isn't it good to have such a long history?"

The sound seemed to echo in the hall, and it lasted for a long time.

Zhu Di was dumbfounded, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others were all dumbfounded.

What a tiger's word.

But Gao Wei seemed to feel that Zhu Di and others were moved by his words, and they became more and more enthusiastic: "Since King Yan Daxing Bingjia, although he occupied Beiping, captured Miyun, and Yongping Land, within a few months, he was still in the middle of nothing. How does it compare to the world? It is still vulnerable, and there are only 30 people who agree with the king of Yan. How is it compared to the world? What's more, the king of Yan and the emperor are both monarchs and ministers, and they are also flesh and blood, so why should they struggle so hard to kill 30 soldiers and civilians who are united with the king of Yan? So I also asked the king of Yan to express his apology. I will definitely spare the lives of 30 soldiers and civilians who are in the same heart as King Yan, so that it is in line with the will of heaven and in line with the hearts of the people, and it can also comfort the spirit of Taizu in heaven, if not..."

Gao Wei's words stopped here, and suddenly he couldn't continue.

Because of Zhen Wu who came out with anger, his mouth was full of blood with a punch.

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others all stared at Gao Wei angrily, wishing to eat his flesh raw.

Fooling Zhu Di to offer his head, what kind of fucking nonsense is that.

After Zhu Di offered his head, what about them?
Follow along?
Gao Wei covered his mouth for a while, straightened up again, and still looked at Zhu Di arrogantly: "Does King Yan really want to kill 30 soldiers and civilians in Peking for his own temporary rights? If King Yan took the initiative to cut off the head Sending them to the capital can protect the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and protect the soldiers and people of Beiping. If you don’t go on the right path, do you really want to go your own way? Are you not afraid of the chilling of the soldiers and people of Beiping?!”

Zhen Wu squeezed his fingers, he felt a little regretful, the punch just now was too light.

At this moment, Zhu Di's face was so dark that it seemed as if he could drip water. At this time, it was not suitable for him to take any action when facing Gao Wei's words. Whatever he said, he would seem sophistry. If he was a little careless, it would make people think that he didn't care about Peiping. The lives of soldiers and civilians.

But Zhen Wu had no such scruples.

He stepped forward and kicked Gao Wei away.

But Gao Wei laughed out loud, turned over, and questioned Zhen Wu contemptuously: "Zhen Junma, could it be possible that he became angry from embarrassment and wanted Gao's life?"

After finishing speaking, Gao Wei stretched his head forward: "I heard that Zhenjun horses killed people like hemp on the battlefield. Gao's head is here, you can come and get it."

What Gao Wei said was categorical, and Zhen Wu did not doubt the authenticity of Gao Wei's words.

Zhen Wu knew that Gao Wei thought he would be famous in history like this.

And people like Gao Wei seek this kind of posthumous fame.

He looked at Gao Wei and said in a deep voice: "I don't bother to take your dog's head. Today I just argue with you. Why do you think His Royal Highness Yan raised his army? Your Highness is for the sake of the Qingming of the universe, for The justice in this world is for the future of the Ming Dynasty. If the treacherous officials in the court are not eliminated, even if the 30 soldiers and civilians in Peiping die, they will not retreat half a step. There is righteousness in the present, although tens of millions of people will go, let alone we have 30 like-minded people, therefore, it is necessary to wipe out rape and eliminate evil. If you fail, you will not give up. Do you think you came today to persuade King Yan to fight for his posthumous reputation? I will tell you today that you are dreaming. On the day of Qiankun, when the Ming Dynasty prospers after King Yan eliminated the adulterers, on that day, you will be my sinner through the ages of the Ming Dynasty, nailed to the pillar of shame, and will never be washed away. You will be cast aside by future generations forever. On and on, I'm sure it must be."

Gao Wei opened his mouth to distinguish, but Zhen Wu would not give him another chance to argue.

This kind of person used all the sage books he read on his mouth, and Zhen Wu couldn't win the debate, so Zhen Wu took a step forward, squeezed his fist, and hit Gao Wei's mouth with an ordinary punch.

With this punch, Zhen Wu directly knocked Gao Wei's teeth flying.

"I still want to quarrel with Lao Tzu and your mother."

Zhen Wu complained, and then said loudly to the sergeants on the left and right: "Come on, throw this bastard out of Beiping City for me, and look at it to make his mother feel defeated."

The sergeants came out, they didn't know what to do, they secretly looked at Zhu Di, trying to see what Zhu Di meant from Zhu Di's face.

But Zhu Di remained silent, just kept his face sullen, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

Fan Guanghua, who was at the side, understood Zhu Di's intentions. He stood up and dragged Gao Wei out.

Inside the hall.

Zhen Wu pleaded guilty to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, please forgive my humble position for being rude and self-reliant. It is really that guy who bullies people too much, and my humble position cannot be tolerated."

"It's okay."

Zhu Di said something lightly.

After speaking, he got up and walked away.

It seemed that there was endless anger reverberating in the hall, as if it was about to burn into hatred for Zhu Yunqi.
