Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 355 Rebels
Ever since he left Luoyang, Zhu Changxun's journey has been smooth and smooth, and he has not suffered as much as Emperor Chengzu. No matter where he goes, the gates of the city are wide open, civil servants greet him with smiles, and the army collectively turns against him.

Although Zhu Changxun knew that the credit for the money was not small, he also explained from the side that Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian were indeed unpopular, and he was getting closer and closer to that position.

But for some reason, as the distance from the capital got closer, Zhu Changxun suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Now besides [-] to [-] regular troops under Zhu Changxun's command, there are also tens of thousands of heroes from three mountains and five mountains. Of course, these people are all here for his money.

Zhang Guanchang had the strongest reaction to this. According to him, they were going to enter King Jingqin, not to rebel, at least not on the surface, and having a bunch of morons around them would ruin their reputation.

After contradicting Zhu Changxun several times, Zhu Changxun has become more and more alienated from him. On the contrary, a celebrity from the south of the Yangtze River has gotten closer to Zhu Changxun.

This celebrity is said to be a famous person in Zhejiang. His surname is ancient and his name is Feng. It sounds like a more feminine name, but after some conversation, the knowledge and talent of this Mr. Gu has deeply impressed our ambitious and talented Prince Zhu.

When the army arrived outside the Zhending Mansion, an unexpected situation occurred, because Xu Maoran, the prefect of Zhending, did not allow them to enter the city.

You must know that after the army left Luoyang, with more and more troops and more and more momentum, no local officials there dared to stop King Zhu Changxunqin's footsteps. What does Xu Maoran mean by this?Want to die?

Zhending is already very close to the capital. There are three major battalions outside the capital, with more than 5000 troops, so there are only more than [-] garrisons here, but this Master Xu is not afraid. After closing the city gate, he recruited countless young men to help defend the city. , forcibly separated Zhu Changxun's army here.

In a rage, Zhu Changxun was about to command the army to attack the city, but was stopped by Gu Feng and Wei Shen.

Although Zhending is not as cold as outside the customs, the climate of this season is like this. The biting cold wind can still pierce people's heart and lungs, making people feel as cold as bones.

It was getting late, and the light in the big tent was dim, so Zhu Changxun summoned Gu Feng, Wei Shen and several generals under him, Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai and others.

"Everyone must know what happened today. This king plans to attack the city at noon tomorrow if the bandits don't open the city tomorrow. What do you think?"

After Zhu Changxun had finished speaking, Wei Shen was the first to get up and said, "Don't worry if you are a thousand years old. I am waiting for Master Wang. If you have no choice, it is best not to use weapons rashly."

Chief Soldier Wang Shaoyu curled his lips and said, "Why don't you use swords rashly? Now that things have come to an end, do we still have a way to turn back? Don't look at us as if we have a lot of troops now, but if the imperial court gathers a large army, such a small number of troops is not enough to do anything, so don't The meaning of the general is that this matter should not be too late, and there is no need to discuss it with the surname Xu, and directly attack the city tomorrow morning."

In fact, Zhu Changxun was more inclined to Wang Shaoyu's suggestion, but he was still a little undecided, so he turned his head to look at Gu Feng who was beside him.

This ancient phoenix's appearance is not generally good, about forty years old, with a tall figure, elegant appearance, a long beard under the chin, looks a bit fairy-like, but the expression on his face is a bit stiff.

Seeing Zhu Changxun's eyes looking at him, Gu Feng stroked his beard and got up and said: "Master Wei and General Wang are both right, but I prefer General Wang's idea. According to the news from Liaodong, Ye Xun has already driven away Huang Taiji, if the prediction is not bad, he will definitely rush back to the capital, so we should take the capital before he returns to Beijing."

"But there is one more thing, that is, the composition of the prince's team is too complicated. We should take this opportunity to carry out a reorganization, which will also facilitate the prince's better command. Therefore, I think we should pass the letter to Xu Maoran tomorrow morning as Lord Wei said. , and rectify the troops at the same time, and then win Zhending in one go.”

This Gu Feng was obviously also a treacherous and cunning master, and no one was offended by what he said.

Wei Shen thought that Gu Feng was very pleasing to the eye, at least he was much better than Zhang Guanchang, and he was always polite to him.

Holding his beard in his hands, he looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl, and said: "Now there are many officials in Beijing who have pledged their loyalty to Chitose. As soon as Chitose's army arrives, they will immediately respond to Chitose in the city. Great things will happen!"

It is true that many officials in the capital secretly wrote letters to join Zhu Changxun, not because they wanted to betray the court, but because they all accepted Zhu Changxun's gift before, and the handle was in Zhu Changxun's hands, so they had to be loyal to Zhu Changxun.

Zhu Changxun wasn't very worried about the unexpected situation in Zhending. Apart from Ye Xun, whose attitude was unclear, and Zhang Weixian, who was in charge of the Beijing camp, bothered him.

Although the Liaodong Army is powerful, the distance is too far after all. The one who can decide success or failure now is the British Duke.

He also talked with the people about the reaction of the army and the local government, Zhu Changxun waved the people to retreat, but left Gu Feng alone.

"Mr. Gu, I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling in my heart, but I can't tell the reason for a moment. I wonder if sir, can you explain it to me?"

Gu Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, even if the prince doesn't call me, I still have something to say to the prince."

"From my point of view, there are only two aspects that can disturb the prince's mind. One is Ye Xun in Liaodong, and the other is the garrison in the capital. I wonder if I am right?"

"Yes, yes, sir, you are really amazing. You even know what this king is thinking. Please tell me quickly, how can I make this king no longer feel this way?"

Hearing Zhu Changxun's urgent words, Gu Feng's eyes suddenly became gloomy.

"There was a lot of talk just now, and I didn't say something thoroughly. If the prince is willing to listen, then we will make a quick decision. We will take down the Zhending Mansion tonight, and then rely on Zhending to send troops to the capital. At the same time, we will recruit talents from all over the world , that feeling of uneasiness will disappear only if the prince is strong enough."

Zhu Changxun was taken aback. Didn't he just say that the city would be attacked at noon tomorrow?How did it change in the blink of an eye?The meaning of quick battle and quick decision is understandable, but Zhang Weixian hasn't done it yet, even if he wins the real decision, he may not be able to enter the capital!
Seeing Zhu Changxun's hesitation, Gu Feng continued without losing the opportunity: "My lord, to put it bluntly, do you think we can really win the battle with our patchwork of troops?"

Hearing Gu Feng's words, Zhu Changxun suddenly came to his senses. It was so smooth before, and he hadn't fought a tough battle until now. However, Zhending City is so high and wide that it cannot be defeated in a short time. For a long time, there are more uncertain factors.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changxun slapped his thigh, and said: "Thanks to the sir's reminder, I almost missed a major event, this king will summon all the generals."

"Wait a minute, my lord. Although Zhending City is well-defended, it is easy for me to take it."

While speaking, Gu Feng's eyes flashed an inexplicable look
