Daming: From the end of Hongwu

292 Chapter 290 - Shi Leng, who has been offline for a long time

Most people live in a muddle in the world.

But there are also some people who have their own opinions and project their own expectations to the world. Even if such people die, the death will be heavier than Mount Tai.

Just like Wang Xing, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, Gao Wei, etc., they are all sticking to their own ideas, and in this chaotic era, they shine a different light.

And in this era, Zhu Di, who has already bloomed the brightest light, is listening to Ji Gang's embellished report of Wang Xing's suicide.

Ji Gang's words looked fair, but every word made it clear that those scholars would not agree with Zhu Di's meaning.

After Zhu Di heard this, his brows immediately twitched with anger.

orthodox!

orthodox!

He also wanted orthodoxy, and wanted to inherit everything Zhu Yuanzhang left behind in a legitimate way.

But Zhu Yuanzhang refused to give it to him.

What can he do?
Originally, he wanted to endure it, but the problem was that his nephew didn't even want to leave him the throne, so what else could he do?We are all descendants of the royal family. It makes no sense for the grandson to eat meat, and the son can't even drink soup.

This matter is placed in ordinary people's homes, which grandson who has taken over the family business, dare not give his uncles a bite of food, and even force him to death.

If there is a grandson who dares to do this, Zhu Di can guarantee that all the people in the world will spurn that grandson.

Why is this matter on him, and the world is full of criticism and condemnation?

Is it really because he is a royal? !

Well, even though he is a royal and has the duty of being a model in the world, it is not too much for Zhu Di to ask everyone not to help each other. If there is no outsider to intervene, if he does not beat Zhu Yunqi's shit out.

He is not his fourth uncle!
Zhu Di's fists were clenched suddenly, and he hammered the table angrily.

Ji Gang sneaked a glance at Zhu Di, and was relieved to see that Zhu Di didn't complain that he was disadvantaged in his job. He valued this opportunity very much, so he didn't want Zhu Di to label him as incompetent.

At this moment, Zhu Di didn't pay attention to Ji Gang's little thoughts, and he didn't care about Ji Gang's little thoughts. After thinking for a while, he suddenly stood up, angrily conveyed the military order, and swung his army again to start going south.

When Zhen Wu received the military order, he was dazed for a moment, but he didn't hesitate too much, and immediately started to move south with his army, but while walking on the road, Zhen Wu couldn't help laughing when he heard that Zhu Di was stimulated by scholars again.

As an old man, he doesn't know what to worry about.

In the future, they will still have to fight with those scholars.

This time, the southern army advanced several ways. When they arrived at the city of Jinan, Li Jinglong displayed an army of 60 troops, trying to fight them again, but the Yan army was invincible all the way, from Zhu Di Zhenwu to ordinary soldiers. The [-] army has been defeated, who would be afraid of Li Jinglong's current [-] army.

Immediately the two sides fought.

In the evening of the First World War, when Li Jinglong's army was exhausted, Zhu Di personally led the fine cavalry, circled around and attacked them, and once again sent Li Jinglong a defeat.

The [-] troops of the Southern Army, crying for their fathers and mothers, fled again, and Li Jinglong was even more forced to flee directly towards Huai'an, not even daring to stay in the Shandong border.

Seeing this, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, and Gao Wei in Jinan City all sank a little bit in their hearts.

The reputation of the Yan army as good at fighting is really not a false rumor.

However, this also made them psychologically prepared for a hard fight.

On the second day, when the Yan army was resting, Zhu Di planned to shoot a letter of persuasion into the city, trying to capture Jinan City without bloodshed. Zhen Wu volunteered, took the letter of persuasion written by Zhu Di himself, and rode towards the city of Jinan.

Jinan City, the top of the city is magnificent, and Zhen Wulema is looking at it with fascination.

In the minds of Zhu Di and others, even if the city of Jinan is strong, but there are no reinforcements from outside, and the city is overwhelmed by the Yan army, it will be broken sooner or later. Then the defenders of the city, as long as they have some knowledge, can do nothing but abandon the city and flee south. Only surrender all the way.

Now that Zhu Di gave them a step down, there was no reason for Jinan City to obediently go down.

But Zhen Wu knew that the defenders of Jinan City chose the third way, defending Jinan City to the death, not hesitating to destroy the city.

But in the original history, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong really had to create their own miracles. Not only did they prevent the Yan army from advancing, but they also successfully guarded Jinan City and continued for two years for Zhu Yunqi. years of life.

They were very dazzling in the original history. Among them, when Zhu Di attacked Jinan City for a long time, and Jinan City was about to be destroyed, Tie Xuan shamelessly took out Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet and hung it on the top of the city. His father's tablet was a rat attack, and he didn't dare to attack again, so he had to return to Beiping in the end. Sheng Yong took advantage of the Yan army's return to Beiping and sent troops to recover Dezhou all the way.

This performance made them stand out directly from the defeated Southern Army.

After Zhu Yunqi learned about it, he not only appointed Tiexuan as Minister of the Ministry of War, but also pushed Sheng Yong to the position of the third commander-in-chief of Pingyan. In the next two years, Sheng Yong lived up to Zhu Yunqi's entrustment and put Zhu Di in the Hebei area. There is no way.

In the end, Zhu Di still learned that the capital was empty, bypassed Shengyong in Shandong, and fought all the way to the city of Nanjing regardless of the back road, which was considered to drive Zhu Yunqi from power.

Zhen Wu doesn't know much about the details of these histories, but he has generally heard about them, so he naturally didn't do nothing about the extremely important Jinan City. He stretched out his hands to Jinan City in his early years and arranged Shi Leng He entered Jinan City, but now he looked at the defenders on the top of the city, but he couldn't guarantee that his previous arrangements would work.

After all, the number of people he has is limited, and most of them can't escape Zhu Di's sight. If he wants to arrange people in Jinan City, he must at least have a plausible reason, otherwise he is afraid that Zhu Di will arrest him and study him. Research whether there are gods in the world.

At present, the identity of the son-in-law is not easy to use when things like prophets are unknown.

Therefore, Zhen Wu only allowed Shi Leng to take root in Jinan early, and on the surface, he wanted to open up business in the Shandong area, and Shi Leng's business was indeed doing well, barely counting in Jinan City.

But even so, how could the businessman help him attack the city?Even if Shi Leng had a lot of Escort personnel that he secretly trained around him, these personnel might not be of much use in front of the regular army.

As for the point of arranging people to defend Jinan City, Zhen Wu also thought about it, but he really couldn't do it.

Who would know which troops Sheng Yong led to garrison Jinan City?What's more, all military households are registered and have regional restrictions.

He spent half his life in Beiping, and people in other places didn't like him at all, and he couldn't believe it.

Therefore, at the moment, Zhen Wu can at most look forward to whether Shi Leng has bought some of the original defenders of Jinan City.

thought here.

Zhen Wu sighed, and he slowly looked away from Jinan City. Shi Leng is the eldest brother of the third daughter-in-law, and he could enjoy happiness in Beiping City, but because of his words, he came to Jinan City bitterly, and never had anything. To lay a foundation, now I don't know if it can start to work.

If it didn't work at all, and they were still unable to attack for a long time, and returned to Beiping City in despair, it would be too much for Zhen Wu.

And the probability of this seems to be very high.

Speaking of which, after the war broke out, there was a lot of inconvenience in the north-south transportation, and now he didn't know whether Shi Leng was noticed by Tie Xuan or the others.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but sighed again. He pondered this point and guessed it shouldn't be. After all, Zhu Di was not a swallow thief at the time. The new identity he applied for back then was the first time in so many years. Who would have the heart to find out? .

It's just that Shi Leng has often had business contacts with Peiping's own family in recent years, which may attract some attention.

Cao Xiaoman looked at Zhen Wu from the side, not understanding why Zhen Wu would sigh every once in a while. Is there anything to sigh in Jinan City?They fought all the way here, could it be that they were stopped by Jinan City? !

"General right?" Cao Xiaoman reminded Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu suddenly came back to his senses, and then he stopped thinking about it. He took out the letter of persuasion written by Zhu Di and tied it to the feather arrow, then bent his bow and set the arrow. up.

The strength was so strong that the arrow tail trembled endlessly.

Zhen Wu put down his bow, clapped his hands, then turned his horse's head and led Cao Xiaoman and others back to the camp.

……

A day later, Jinan City responded, and it was indeed as recorded in history. Tie Xuan Shengyong and others had no intention of surrendering to Zhu Di at all. Seeing this, Zhen Wu also gave up his mind, determined to break Shi Leng with all his strength. Jinan city.

At this moment, Zhu Di looked at the letter from Jinan City, but suddenly burst out laughing.

"Good literary talent, really good literary talent. After reading this "On the Duke of Zhou Fu Chengwang", it's really like drinking ice cream. It's a pity that you are mocking me. Otherwise, it should be better, it should be better!"

No one among the generals cares about whether the literary talents are good or not.

Zhu Neng immediately asked in doubt: "Will the city of Jinan surrender?"

Zhu Di nodded and said: "If you don't surrender, it doesn't matter. There is no reason why the mere city of Jinan can't be destroyed. The generals will go down in a while and get ready. The attack will start tomorrow morning. On the day of breaking the city, I will catch this scholar. I want to take a good look at it." This brilliant talent."

"Yes." The generals took orders.

Zhen Wu was a little speechless to Zhu Di. Ever since he defeated Li Jinglong and Zhu Di accepted Ji Gang again, Zhu Di began to think about scholars in his heart.

There is nothing to worry about.

The next moment, Zhu Neng asked, "Your Highness, what is the name of this scholar?"

Only then did Zhu Di come to his senses, read the letter again, and said, "It's called Gao Xianning."

This name is as indifferent to the generals as Zhang San Li Si.

It's just that all the generals have silently recited it twice in their hearts, for fear of forgetting, but Zhu Neng still opened his mouth firmly, as if the city of Jinan could be broken, and said: "Remember, when the city is broken, we will definitely arrest it for His Highness." Come here."

But for Ji Gang who was standing by the side, this name shocked him so much that he was restless.

Gao Xianning is one of the few friends he admits, and even the most important among all friends.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried for Gao Xianning.

But for some reason, he was worried, but an inexplicable feeling of jealousy rose in his heart.

Gao Xianning was taught by a famous teacher since childhood, what about him?He was kicked out of the school by his teacher, but now he risked his life to stop Zhu Di rashly, and finally got a little appreciation from Zhu Di, but Gao Xianning also walked into Zhu Di's heart with only a small essay.

How unfair? !
Ji Gang's mind was muddled for a while, with mixed feelings. He felt that the cruelest thing in the world might be a good friend who treats you very well, but the good one makes you jealous, and then you have to pretend to be magnanimous to congratulate he.

But... Ji Gang also has soaring ambitions!
How can he accept the fact that he is more mediocre than others.

……

After the meeting was over, Zhen Wu began to prepare for the siege. Siege is not a simple task, it requires a lot of equipment, the common ones are ladders, rush carts, hook carts, eight-ox crossbows, artillery, and Xuan chariots. Wait, these instruments all have their own uses, some are used to hit doors, some climb walls, some break walls, and transport soldiers safely to the city.

The ancients were thorough in the study of war.

Every link has equipment to help you achieve your goals.

Gradually it got dark.

Silent all night.

Soon, the sky appeared, and as the barracks became more and more lively, when the soldiers had finished their meals, the army marched to the city of Jinan, and began a brutal siege battle.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

……

The time increased day by day. At first, Zhu Di and others didn't care about it. After all, everyone knew that siege was a matter of hard work, but after they attacked for a month, Jinan City was still standing there firmly.

Zhu Di and others were a little surprised.

Why is Jinan City still so tough?

Something is not right.

This made Zhu Di face up to it, and began to let the generals intensify their efforts to attack the city.

At this time, Zhen Wu was in a hurry, and he even went into battle several times to attack the city himself, but no matter how powerful he was, he had no good way to face the high city wall.

Even relying on his vigorous skills several times, he managed to avoid serious injuries.

Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong and the others cooperated well, making Jinan City's defense impeccable, and even the entire Jinan City erupted with an astonishing will and resilience, which made Zhen Wu and others have to look sideways.

Another month has passed in a hurry.

Jinan City became more and more crumbling, but it was not breached.

The casualties in the Yan army increased sharply every day, and the vigor of the entire army was obviously fading gradually, and even gradually became tired.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Di suddenly stopped and summoned Zhen Wu and others to discuss the matter.

When Zhu Di just said that he planned to let the whole army rest for a few days, all the generals immediately started talking loudly.

Generally speaking, they all disagree with Zhu Di's decision.

Now it is clear that Jinan City is fighting against them, and whoever can't hold on will lose. If they rest, Jinan City will also take the opportunity to breathe, and the effect of their onslaught in the previous two months will be greatly reduced.

But Zhu Di had his own thinking, he was afraid that all the vigor in the army would be wasted here, and he was even more reluctant to lose too many soldiers in battle, because he wanted more than just a city of Jinan, he still had many battles to fight in the future, The family cannot lose too much here.

Zhu Di knocked on the table to make the generals quiet. He glanced at the generals angrily, and said cursingly, "I don't understand what you are talking about? But if I lose my soldiers and horses like this, no one of you will pay me."

The generals stopped talking for a moment.

Only then did Zhu Di soften his tone and said, "Taking rest doesn't mean that we won't attack. I plan to attack with water. I dug a canal and flooded Jinan City."

The generals were surprised.

If this river canal is stubborn, although Jinan City can be breached, it will not be a good reputation to spread.

Zhen Wu stood up at this moment and said: "Your Highness, let my right army do this."

Zhu Di glanced at Zhen Wu and said, "I'm not afraid of raising an army, so you have to recite this matter for me? Get out of here."

Zhen Wu lost his temper after being scolded.

But he has to admit that Zhu Di's courage is really great, and it's really not a bad thing to work for such a boss.

……

While Zhen Wu and others stormed Jinan City, Li Jinglong was recalled to the capital by Zhu Yunqi. Huang Zicheng, who was in a state of despair, scolded Li Jinglong for having two hearts, and joined forces with Yushi Lian Zining and others to persuade Zhu Yunqi to kill Li Jinglong.

But Zhu Yunwen thought for a long time, and finally pardoned Li Jinglong.

Huang Zicheng and the others beat their feet and chests, feeling extremely annoyed.

Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief, sighed in his heart, his father's halo was still good, and then hurriedly knelt down and thanked Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunqi was not in a good mood, he waved his hand to make everyone retreat.

It is enough for Li Jinglong to save his life at this moment, how could he care about Zhu Yunqi's attitude, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly retreated, but when he returned home, he saw an accident, but it was not a big deal Very unexpected person.

Xu Zengshou of the Xu family.

Xu Zengshou smiled heartily at him, it was no different as usual, people still thought he was a heartless and powerful young master, but at this moment Li Jinglong saw something else, he smiled bitterly, blocked the left and right, and asked his cronies to tell him Stay nearby, sit down with Xu Zengshou and start chatting about some interesting things from childhood.

You are interested in me and you are in love with each other, and they soon became very compatible.

……

And in the city of Jinan.

There is an old house in the west of the city, Shi Leng lives here now, these days he is more impatient than Zhen Wu outside, their brothers and sisters have long been bound to the Zhen family, so he hopes Yan Wangjing more than anyone else It is difficult to succeed and break into Nanjing City.

But now that Jinan City is blocking King Yan's way, how can he not be in a hurry.

He wanted to help, but didn't know where to start.

Not to mention that the defenders of Jinan City are interlocking and have a large number of people.

To put it simply, during this period of time, the martial law in Jinan City was so strict that it made people feel terrible. Even in the daytime, too many people were not allowed to move around. In this case, he couldn't find a chance to help at all.

He couldn't take his hundred and eighty people to respond to the army outside the city when the Yan army attacked the city.

This kind of people, I'm afraid they will be extinguished before the water splashes.

Fortunately, after so many years of experience in the business field, he has learned to lie dormant when there is no chance, and act like a thunder when the opportunity comes.

But when will the opportunity come? !
How should he create a chance.

Just as Shi Leng was thinking hard, a person suddenly came in a hurry and reported to him that Tie Xuan and others planned to invite some famous elders in the city to pray to King Yan outside the city.

pray?

how come?
If you intend to surrender, why wait until today?Why let the elders of the clan go to talk to King Yan.

Shi Leng immediately became alert.

"Send me an order to let our people in the city do their best to investigate the whole story of this matter. We must find out, regardless of money. Find a way to find out what Tie Xuan and the others are playing."

Shi Leng faintly felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

In recent years, he used money to open roads in Jinan City, and he also found a few people with common interests, including government officials and city guards. He was not afraid that nothing would be found.

However, with such a move by him, it is very likely that it will be exposed, and it will put him in danger of death.

But at this time, he can't control so much.

……

　Thank you for the 2 reward on "February 26" and the 6500 reward given to Xiaoliu by 'ahwai'. Thank you to the two bosses and wish the two bosses all the best.
