Chapter 281
The cloudy and drizzle poured down the city roads of Beijing in the breeze, soaking the red walls and yellow tiles of the imperial palace, the willows were verdant, and the remaining flowers were in a mess. The lotus moon corridor bridge on the lake in the palace was like a hazy staircase leading to the end of the sky. His Majesty the Emperor, wearing a black crane cloak, walked along the covered bridge, followed by a mysterious man covered in iron.

The eunuchs and maids near the covered bridge had all been dispersed, which allowed this shadow-like mysterious person to appear, but the clouds were enveloping him, after all, he was not walking under the light of the stalwart.

"When you are old, you will get tired after two steps."

Zhu Di stretched out his arm, mysteriously understood, and supported His Majesty the Emperor to rest by the mahogany railing.

"I remember when I was young, when the roads were blocked by heavy snow in the mountains north of the vast sea, I was able to lead the soldiers to march day and night, over the mountains to find the enemy to fight, and I was still full of energy after the dark battle."

The old emperor chuckled, "At that time, never thought that one day, I would be out of breath after taking two steps, and when I get old, I will keep thinking about my former self."

The mysterious man was also in a daze: "Yeah, 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, you are old, and I am also old."

He still remembered that Zhu Di, King of Yan when he was young, was domineering and domineering, like a rampaging wild donkey.It's just that it's good to think about these words in your heart, and you must never say them.

"I remember, you fought with this general Sapphire in the southwest?" the emperor asked abruptly.

"The past is like smoke, I can't remember it."

The mysterious man chuckled and brushed off the matter, as if he didn't really want to mention his past.

However, Zhu Di refused to give up, and scolded with a smile: "Don't do this with me, I still remember it clearly. At that time, you and General Lan Yu were in Sichuan to build a city. The general fought all the way, Duyun, Xifan and other places were fought down by you and General Lanyu. If Taizu did not allow you to recruit local people as soldiers, you would still plan to fight Duogan and Baiyi. "

The mysterious man gave a wry smile: "Grandfather asked me to watch the titan, Sapphire, and don't let him mess up. Unexpectedly, once the battle broke out, the eight bulls couldn't be pulled back, so I had to kill them all the way. How could I Nothing can stop him."

"The territory of the Ming Dynasty was conquered by these arrogant and powerful generals." Zhu Di said with emotion, "Just like the current crown prince, the fourth son, isn't he also a reckless man? The Northeast and the addition of three provinces to the Ming Dynasty, reckless people have the benefits of reckless people."

The mysterious man coughed lightly and said: "He is not a reckless man. He has more eyes than anyone else. He looks like an ordinary man, but in fact he has planned strategies and has everything in his hands."

Speaking of this, the man paused for a moment, and then said lightly, "Those shadows under my hands got the news that your prince ordered to change the defense of two guards from the northeast to Shanhaiguan, and the general of Liaodong acquiesced Don't you want to guard against him?"

Zhu Di asked calmly: "What are you guarding against? It's just a normal transfer, and it's not that the soldiers were transferred to the pass."

"It's true that he didn't transfer the soldiers to the pass, but he did something in the pass."

The mysterious man said coldly, "As far as I know, at least two guards in the nine gates of the capital took the money from the Eastern Palace. From Beijing City to Shanhaiguan and then to the Northeast, he has paved the way."

Zhu Di was a little puzzled: "It doesn't look like he's going to rebel, why does he seem like he's going to run away?"

"There is no doubt, he is preparing to run away."

The mysterious man said firmly, "He didn't get involved in the three major battalions, nor the twelve guards, and he didn't even transfer the guards of King Qi's Mansion in Nanjing to Beijing. From this, it can be seen that he never thought of rebelling. I just want to run to the northeast."

Zhu Di laughed: "It's not right to leave the prince alone. He ran to the northeast, plotting something. I won't live for a few years. When I die, won't the whole world become his?"

The man said faintly: "Have you ever thought that maybe it's your fault?"

His Majesty's laughter came suddenly, and there seemed to be the sound of something breaking in his chest.

That man was undoubtedly implying that he used to play tricks on his sons to fool his sons, and the sons were all psychologically shadowed. Who would have to be on guard against such a father?
"Your fourth child acts like this, don't you plan to make some preparations to prevent future troubles?" The mysterious man was a little puzzled.

"What preparations are you going to start a fight with your son before you die?"

Zhu Di chuckled, and said, "The hero who mended the sky with hot blood on his chest has already buried half of his body in the soil, whoever is right and who is wrong is in charge of the ups and downs, and the able one can take the position.

A general can be destroyed, but a country cannot be destroyed. "

He is old and tired, and he is no longer a young man who would gamble all his wealth on top of him at a moment's notice. Now he is willing to use everything to protect this mountain and river.Although he still has a fiery belligerent heart, the flames of war can only be burned outside the pass, not inside the pass.

As long as Daming can prosper, so what if the throne is given up?
What's more, that kid didn't have any intention of rebelling, he was just leaving a way out.

If he really wanted to rebel, Zhu Di could be sure that the boy's methods would not leave such obvious traces, even the shadow waiter could not catch his tail.

The mysterious man was silent for a while, then said, "This is not like you."

The emperor held the mahogany carved railing and looked down. White lotus blossoms bloomed on the deep blue lake, and he murmured to himself: "Drinking horses and crossing the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife. You are not me, how do you know me?"

As the breeze blew, he coughed continuously, and the shadowy figure beside him came over to gently comfort the emperor's back.

The man sighed: "Your health is getting worse and worse. How could it be like this? It's clear that it wasn't like this a few days ago."

Zhu Di said with emotion: "For more than [-] years in the military, there have been overt and hidden injuries, sword wounds and arrow wounds, and those who climbed out of the dead, all hung in one breath in their hearts, wanting to finish everything and give blessings to future generations. Now Seeing that this great river and mountain is safe and sound even without me, the anger in my heart dissipated.

In this life, I have seized all the good fortune of the world and borrowed luck from the sky several times, how can I live a long life? "

In the Battle of Jingnan, the strength of one place was used to fight against one country, and eight hundred Yanshan cavalry raised troops, taking advantage of the right time, place and people, which was better than the millions of troops of Emperor Jianwen.If it weren't for the strong winds again and again, he would have been buried under the loess and became the defeated general of Emperor Jianwen.

The emperor closed his eyes lightly, he saw that he had died in Yongle in 22 years, but he understood that he was far from seven years away.

As Daming became stronger and stronger, his health became worse and worse. In the past, he felt that he could not die and that the empire could not leave him.Now seeing that Da Ming gradually climbed to the top under the leadership of that kid, he suddenly felt that there was no need for him to carry on.

Zhu Di lightly closed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Queen, maybe it won't be long before I can meet you again."

"Da Ming, I can hand it over to my son with peace of mind."

……

To the north of Jiaozhou Prefecture, there is a vast Huanggao Forest. This is a rainforest covering thousands of miles, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. It is located in the lower reaches of the Zuojiang River, adjacent to Taiping Mansion of Zuojiang Road in Guangxi Province of the Ming Empire.

It is rumored that a Cochin mountain dweller went to the forest to collect medicine, and while drinking by the stream, his arm was caught by a water plant and he couldn't break free.The person next to him made a decisive decision and cut off his arm with a sickle.The strange thing is that the grass swept away the arm in an instant, leaving only a blur of blood.

The local people believe that Huanggao Forest is an ominous place where demons are rampant.

However, Li Bin, Li Li and others chose this ominous place as the battlefield between the [-]th Route Allied Army and the Ming Army, and wanted to decide the outcome with the Ming Army here.

They know one thing very well, whether the Huanggao Forest is an ominous place or haunted by monsters, if the Ming army can successfully march to Qinghua Mansion, no one knows whether the Ming army will be unknown, but they know, they are sure It will be unknown.

Bai Qi, who led more than [-] Yunnan troops to the border of Huanggao Forest, did not make any conclusions. Instead, he sent scouts to investigate the terrain and deploy the enemy troops. Army deployment.

Both sides did not act hastily. Fighting in such a complicated terrain, once a slight problem occurs, it is very likely to be magnified countless times.The top commanders confront each other, and they can crush their opponents by seizing the slightest opportunity.

In the commanding camp of the Ming army, Shen Qingyu asked Lu Chaoyang in a low voice, "I still can't figure out why the enemy put the battlefield in this ghostly place."

Lu Chaoyang said lightly: "It's okay if you don't understand it, and I don't understand it either."

He knew that his purpose on this battlefield was to command the scouts to explore the terrain, and he didn't care about anything else.Performing their duties is the greatest contribution.

"You didn't want to understand, but Li Bin did."

When Zhang Fu's voice came, Shen Qingyu lowered her head: "The lowly post is too talkative, please forgive me, Lord."

"It's okay."

Zhang Fu said calmly, "Do you also think that Li Bin is ignorant? He can clearly command the army to fight in the eastern capital, and take advantage of the high walls and fortresses to consume the vital strength of our army, so that the loss can be minimized. However, Li Bin chose the most puzzling way of fighting. He gave up fighting in the eastern capital and deployed most of his troops in the vast forest. In this case, his strength advantage fell Multiplication, isn’t it just a cocoon to bind oneself?”

Shen Qingyu questioned in surprise: "The humble official dares to ask the Duke to show me."

"Li Bin is very smart and understands His Highness very well."

Zhang Fu said in a deep voice, "Fighting in the rainforest, not only his [-]th Route rebels bound themselves, but also us. He knows that His Highness has never lost a battle on the plains. Back then, His Highness could lead [-] cavalry Chasing and killing tens of thousands of cavalry from the Wara tribe, Li Bin was also a person who participated in the Northern Expedition, so how could he not know the importance of this?
He knew that if he used the commander's command to the extreme on the frontal battlefield, let alone his 29th Route Army, even the 39th and [-]th Routes would be useless!

That's why he wanted to lock the battlefield in the rainforest, because the terrain constraints of the rainforest meant that the commander could not be flexible in command, and could only rely on tug-of-war to decide the outcome.Li Bin wants to dye this rainforest red with his life, even if he pays twice the battle damage, they have too much advantage in total force, if this tug-of-war is fought to the end, he will always be invincible place. "

Zhang Fu is worthy of being the most outstanding commander in the southwestern battlefield of Ming Dynasty. Even before the war broke out, he had already figured out Li Bin's tactics.

In other words, the opponent didn't intend to hide his tactics at all, this was a conspiracy.

With decades of experience in leading troops, Li Bin has moved to various places, even in the southwest, he still has suitable tactics.

After listening to Zhang Fu's explanation, Shen Qingyu suddenly realized, he gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "This traitor is really unreasonable, he has used all his evil intentions on his own family, and exchanged human life for human life. Are they all made of iron?"

"Perhaps, he wished that the [-]th Route Allied Forces would kill more people on the battlefield."

Zhang Fu said coldly, "For him, once the imperial court is forced to retreat, his enemy will become the remaining [-]th Route Allied Army. He is treating the Jiaozhi rebels as pawns, and let us fight with the rebels. Mussels fight with each other and both lose, so that he can benefit in the end."

Even he finds it a bit tricky. In terms of fighting in the southwest, Li Bin is definitely not as good as him.

But Li Bin is not a simple character, he is also a famous general who was awarded a title by his military exploits at the end of his life. He also has a huge advantage in military strength, and here is his home field.

Bai Qi, who had been groping for the map, his eyes turned cold: "Shut up."

The Shuai Ying, which was still a little noisy, became quiet in an instant, and everyone turned their attention to "Zhu Gaoxuan" who was on the main seat.

"I will make the following arrangements. Everyone, follow the orders. If anyone disobeys the military order, he will be killed on the spot, and he will be punished afterwards!"

Bai Qi tapped the map on the table with his fingers, and ordered calmly, "British Lord Zhang Fu, commanding [-] troops, will deploy defenses in the northern periphery of the rainforest and serve as the main defensive force. Set up camp and build a defensive position in the shortest possible time."

Lu Chaoyang, commanding the vanguard battalion, after listening to Zhang Fu's order, you don't need to attack first, I order you to attack the enemy's left and right flanks in the eastern and western areas of the rainforest, disrupt the enemy's offensive, and retreat in the face of danger. The principle is to preserve the combat effectiveness. "

Shen Qingyu, responsible for the communications of various ministries, to ensure the connection between the northern defense line and other battalions..."

Bai Qi arranged a clear division of labor for each general and the deployment of each military camp. Everyone only needs to do their own errands well, and there is no need to worry about other matters.

Finally, he said slowly: "I personally led [-] soldiers and horses as the main attacker to fight against the enemy in the middle of the rainforest."

All the generals were shocked when they heard the words, and quickly advised: "Your Highness, how can you personally take the lead in attacking, how can this be done!"

"The enemy army has more than 6000 soldiers and horses. Even if some troops are allocated, the main force in the central area is still [-] to [-]. You will have [-] troops to deal with the enemy's main force. This is too dangerous!"

"Your Highness, please take back the military order, this is absolutely impossible!"

They almost said to Bai Qi: Your Highness, you take 6000 people to challenge the 6 people on the opposite side, and it is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the opponent, so why don't you treat yourself as a side dish to the opponent!

Zhang Fu couldn't help persuading: "Your Highness, I think this matter is a little lacking. You have a high status, so how can you take the risk of personally raiding the formation? I think that I should be the main offensive commander. There is no shortage of strong generals in the army, but your safety must be taken care of." To come first."

Facing everyone's persuasion, Bai Qi frowned slightly:
"In the army, the order of the commander-in-chief is the first, and the soldier should be the first to obey the order."

"You don't need to question, just obey the order."
