The palace gate rumbled open, and the eaves and arches of the main hall were faintly visible from above the palace wall, and then, one by one, the palace doors were opened, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, stood under the palace gate, looking at Zhu Di on the horse, and shook it from afar, but did not step out of the palace gate half a step, and his expression was very complicated.
Zhu Di secretly laughed to himself: "This seventeenth brother" Thinking of the intention of King Ning that Xia Xun revealed to him, Zhu Di shook his head secretly, turned over and dismounted, and went to Zhu Quan.
Several ironclad guards behind him immediately followed.
"Your Highness, you can't welcome Yan into the palace" A person suddenly came out of the oblique stab, and cried to Zhu Quan, the king of Ning: "Your Highness, Yan rebels against the rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, His Royal Highness will not be annihilated for the country, how can he welcome him into the palace, brotherly love, is it greater than the righteousness of the monarch and the minister?"
"Hey, who is this shameless, embarrassed to say such unashamed bullshit" As soon as Zhu Quan heard this, he didn't fight anywhere, and got to today's step of the field, are you happy with him The king of Saiwai should be at ease, the emperor said a word, the military power has been cut, and the welfare of the three guards has also been cut, and he wants to guard a palace to live a good life, and the emperor thinks that he is living an eyesore, and now that the Yan Wang soldiers have entered Daning City, he has to hand over the army he recruited back, and everything he seeks is just to keep his surname and wealth, if he has to, he Zhu Quan is willing to do so Zhu Quan fixed his eyes on it, but it was Shi Shi, the head of the palace, Zhu Di didn't expect it to be a branch, and he couldn't help but stand still at the bottom of the steps, and everyone looked at this old stone who was not afraid of death curiously.
King Ning and Concubine Zheng didn't squeak, but Concubine Shaning couldn't help but sneer: "Shi Changshi, His Royal Highness King Ning originally had an army of 80,000, but unfortunately, the military power is long gone, what do you want His Highness to use to eliminate the country for the country?"
Shi Shu said sharply: "Niangniang, please stop, national affairs, where is your turn to speak as a woman."
Shi Shu said and said to Zhu Quan proudly: "Your Highness has no soldiers and horses in his hands, but there is still a stick of iron rod, a seven-foot man's body, and a hero's blood."
Zhu Quan laughed angrily: "What does Shi Changshi mean by letting this king hold an iron rod against the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the four emperor brothers?"
Shi Shu said: "Even if you can't resist the enemy, Your Highness should close the palace door tightly, not make peace with the court, so afraid of Yan's rebellion and military might, open the palace door to greet you, where does Your Highness put himself?"
Zhu Quan said compassionately: "Lord Changshi thinks that this king is now and now, where is he placed himself?"
Shi Shu said: "Yan rebels are hypocritically benevolent and righteous, since they keep saying that they want to destroy the evil and clean the monarch's side, then His Royal Highness just closes the palace door and does not meet him, and he does not dare to destroy his promise, brazenly break into the palace and hurt His Highness."
His Royal Highness is powerless to save the country, and he can't do it yet, and he can't do it for a long time, and he can't watch His Highness go down the wrong path and be ruined."
He stood up, opened his arms in front of the door, and shouted at Zhu Di: "Yan Wei, don't you want to enter my Ning Wangfu for half a step."
Zhu Di was furious, and the halberd pointed and shouted: "Like a thief like you, my Zhu Ming royal family is just by you bastards who speak in vain and kiss each other, so that they can get into a situation of cannibalism, and now this king wants to meet his own brothers, what are you going to do?"
Shi Zhu puffed up his chest and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Shi Zhu is the chief of King Ning's mansion, and he must not allow my king to bear the name of rebellion, you want to enter the palace, unless you step on my stone corpse to pass."
King Yan had a big general Qiu Fu beside him, who was accompanied by iron armor, and when he heard this, he shouted: "As you wish" Rubbing the ground with an arrow step jumped up, in mid-air, the long knife on his waist was already out of the sheath, and a choking sound had just entered the human ear, and a cold light like a practice swirled in the air, only to hear a "poof" sound, and the blood light rushed up at night, frightening the female relatives behind King Ning, and they all exclaimed, and a good head slammed to the ground, and the bones rolled down the steps.
Zhu Di smiled faintly and said: "Although stupid, loyal and commendable, this king will fulfill you" Shi Zhu's body fell on the steps, a cavity of blood gushed out, winding down the stone steps, Zhu Di lifted his robe and stepped on the blood steps up, in front of Shi Zhu's corpse, his blood-stained feet stepped on his corpse without hesitation, he said "Unless you step on my corpse", Yan Wang put such a wide stone step and did not walk, he really stepped on his corpse and walked up.
King Ning's mansion is not familiar with King Yan's person, and even Zhu Quan doesn't know the fourth brother's spleen surname, seeing this scene, they can't help but be moved, only Sha Ning's eyes are bright, and he admires in his heart: "Such a character is called a hero" There are many beauties around King Ning, including princesses, side concubines, concubines, princesses, concubines, not only Han beauties, but also Mongolian, Jurchen, Korean, and even Uyghur women in the Western Regions, all of whom are charming and full of exotic customs, but King Yan does not squint, just staring at this seventeenth brother who has only met a few times.
In front of Zhu Quan, Zhu Di opened his arms, did not speak, and his eyes were full of tears: "Seventeenth brother, in the past, you and my brothers met each other, all in the imperial palace, the father and the queen mother, the family reunited, and they were happy.
Unexpectedly, the bones of the father and the emperor were not cold, and the clan relatives actually fell to this step."
As soon as Zhu Quan was told by him, he touched the pain in his heart, and when he remembered that he was frightened, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and the two brothers hugged their heads and cried, "My lord, let's take these things to stop the enemy soldiers" Saihazhi patted his bulging belly and asked Xia Xun.
In his arms, he carried many letters, the two most important of which were written by King Yan and King Ning respectively, and in addition, they found the families of those military generals in important positions according to the roster in the treasury of the Daning Dusi, and wrote the family letters written by them.
Chen Heng sent someone to Daning and told Zhu Jian that he would arrive before he could do it, so King Yan immediately sent someone to meet him.
The three people in this line are Xia Xun, Sai Hazhi and Xu Jiang.
Xu Jiang opened the city gate to let the Yan army enter the city, avoided major casualties, and made great contributions, and now he has ascended to the sky in one step, and has been promoted to a hundred households by the king of Yan, he is familiar with the roads here, and at the same time he is familiar with the banners and generals of the guards in Daning, so this time he left Daning with Xia Xun and Saihazhi to carry out a secret mission.
In this season, the wind outside the pass is getting stronger and stronger, the wind not only carries a lot of dust and sand, but also very cold, the weather is cold and cold today, the air is a little humid, look at this, the first snow of this winter, is about to fall.
Xia Xun rode on the horse, tightened the masked towel again, and said: "Naturally, not only General Zhang Yu led the troops to the palace, but the reinforcements of Duoyan Sanwei also arrived soon.
Chen Heng has gone out to fight with His Royal Highness King Yan many times, King Yan is very familiar with him, King Ning may not be in Chen Heng's eyes, but he is still quite in awe of King Yan, if he knows that His Royal Highness King Yan has been out of the customs and occupies Daning, he may not dare to violate" As soon as he said this, Xu Jiang, who was riding a horse more than a mile away in front, had hurried back, and said in a slightly nervous voice: "My lord, the vanguard of Songting Pass has arrived."
After Chen Heng and Liu Zhen arranged the various passes along the border, they successively transferred troops and horses from various places, and it was not until today that they were ready to stop and began to increase troops to Daning.
Because King Yan secretly passed through Liujiakou and did not send a beacon signal along the border passes, Chen Heng did not know that Daning City had fallen into the hands of King Yan.
This vanguard was led by Chen Heng himself, and there were three generals among the generals led by Chen Heng, namely Wei commander Xu Li, Chen Wen, and Bu Wan, and these three people were the generals of Ning Wangsan's guards.
Chen Heng took them with him, he had his own considerations, he thought that King Yan was still in the pass, and the biggest threat was still in the pass, so Songting Pass could not be lost, and the soldiers and horses guarding the pass must be absolutely reliable.
King Ning's three guards, adding up to a total of only 9,000 people, accounted for only a few of the 30,000 troops he led, and there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zhu Jian in Daning City, and when the time comes, these people will not be able to turn up any storms under his nose with the three guards, and Zhu Jian's letter to him said that King Ning wants to tie up Taining, Fuyu, and Duoyan Sanwei to seize Daning City, Chen Heng knows that those tribal warriors are not good at attacking the city, and the military discipline is also poor, and most of the family members of Ning Wang's three guards are in Daning City, if you really let Duoyan Sanwei enter the city, No one can guarantee that their families will not be harmed, and they will not be able to defend their homes without exerting their strength Of course, the most important reason is that Chen Heng is quite confident in himself, and he is confident that he can control these generals.
He was a veteran, inherited his father's position at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a general in the Yuan soldiers, when he was Yangzhou Wanhu.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there were 7,000 troops in the tens of thousands of households, 5,000 in the middle and 3,000 in the lower 10,000 households.
Yangzhou Wanhu Mansion is the middle Wanhu Mansion, and he was serving as a Wanhu official in Yangzhou Wanhu Mansion at that time.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops in Haozhou, Chen Heng abandoned Yuan and returned to Zhu, first served as Zhu Yuanzhang's iron armor chief, and then promoted thousands of households, and then followed the general Lanyu to the north, ordered to defend Dongchang, Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacked, Chen Heng not only firmly held Yongchang, but also counterattacked, and defeated the enemy by surprise.
Later, he went out of the fortress with King Yan several times, made many meritorious achievements, and was promoted to the governor of the capital.
This old general has fought all his life and led soldiers all his life, how could King Ning, a hairy boy, and the three commanders of his guards be in his eyes Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Heng restrained his mount and issued an order: "It's getting late, give the order to go down, camp on the spot, and bury the pot to cook."
Tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be trained at two o'clock, and they will have dinner at three o'clock, and they will set off at the same time and continue to hurry. ” As soon as the military order was given, the three armies immediately set up camp on the spot, set up barracks and police posts, and smoke began to rise everywhere in the camp.
Xu Jiang and Xia Xun and Sai Hazhi hid their horses in the distant forest, lying on a grassy slope and quietly observing the movement in the camp, in each battalion, there is a big flag of the commander, if it is an outsider, it may not be able to confirm the main general in each camp according to the flag, because some surnames are big surnames, and it is normal for two generals in the same army to have the same surname, such as Wang Liu Li Zhao and others, but there are fewer people with the surname Bu, more than 20 generals in the Daning Division, and there is only one commander surnamed Bu.
So Xu Jiang pointed everywhere to introduce to Xia Xun, and when he pointed to a camp with the word "Bu" on it, he suddenly said excitedly: "My lord, please see, that camp must be the location of Bu Wanbu's command in King Ning's three guards." ” "Ning Wangsan's guards were also brought over by Chen Heng" Xia Xun was surprised at first, and then overjoyed, and said: "Let's not go directly to see Chen Heng, let's go, go around to the Bu Wan camp, and see Bu Wan first."
