Zhu Di crossed the river.
The situation has reversed abruptly, and now it has become that King Yan has a ship and the court has no ship.
Sheng Yong's troops deployed along the river watched as the northern army crossed the river.
In fact, with the strength of Sheng Yong's defense along the river, it can still be a battle, after all, for an army that has rushed to land on the beach, another army that has already built many fortifications on the shore has the upper hand, and the most powerful cavalry of the northern army is not needed, but the fighting spirit of the southern army has disappeared, no matter how the three armies of Sheng Yong galloped horses, how to shout and inspire, the soldiers did not have the courage to fight at all.
They held spears and bows, eager to try, just waiting, waiting for the moment when the northern army rushed to the camp, and that moment was the opportunity for them to shout, break free from the shackles of the generals, and flee to the east and west.
The building will not be in the air, and the monkeys have already dispersed The first team to rush ashore to meet Sheng Yong's descendant troops arranged at the front, which is also his most loyal troops, if he can repel an attack of the northern army, or can also save some of the morale of the three armies, however, good steel is used on the blade, Zhu Di arranged the stormtrooper team of only 800 people, but it is 800 Arhats As soon as the ship landed, many monks wearing gray monk's robes and two rows of scars on their heads jumped out of the ship.
This is when Zhu Di hit Henan, he held a letter from Master Daoyan, climbed the Shaolin Temple of Songshan Mountain, and visited a team of monks and soldiers obtained by Master Daoyan's friend Jiekong Abbot.
There are only 800 monks and soldiers, but all of them have superb martial arts, and at the critical moment, they can play the effect of King Yan's 3,000 Yan Iron Cavalry charging into battle.
This is the first time that Shaolin monks have appeared on the battlefield of the two armies again since the thirteen stick monks rescued the Tang king.
Eight hundred dragon spirits and fierce monks brandished swords, whistle sticks, and convenient shovels, and their sleeves puffed up the strong wind, like a harrier rushed into Sheng Yong's Chinese army, and Yan Wang's brigade followed closely behind, and in just a pillar of incense, Sheng Yong's unbreakable Chinese defense line collapsed.
Immediately, it was as if the most important cornerstone on the tower was withdrawn, the entire defense line collapsed, the southern army collapsed, and those who had no time to escape raised their weapons and surrendered.
"Your Highness, shall we go straight to Jinling?"
Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and other generals guarded Zhu Di to the shore and asked excitedly.
"If you don't Zhenjiang is the throat of the emperor, if you go straight to Jinling, you must prevent it from covering up and killing from behind, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers there, we must take Zhenjiang first, and then besiege Jinling" When his feet stepped on the south bank of the Yangtze River again, Zhu Di's confidence also skyrocketed, he knew that the most dangerous time had passed, and since he had crossed the river, the threat from the Ming army of Huai'an Meiyin and Zhongdu Fengyang no longer existed, and success was within reach, so his tone was extremely calm and firm.
Zhenjiang Shou will be Tong Jun.
Seeing Zhu Di's army coming violently, Tong Jun was at a loss, and then, the Yan army stopped under the city, and several letters were shot into the city, which were all letters from Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Tongzhou, Taizhou, Jiangzhou, and Chen Xuan, the governor of the navy, these generals either had a personal relationship with Tong Jun, or they had also dealt with each other, they showed up to say that they persuaded to surrender, Tong Jun was as good as a stream, and immediately disarmed and surrendered, Zhu Di's soldiers took Zhenjiang without blood, and the soldiers and horses fought until Longtan, relieved the worries, and then turned to Jinling.
Hearing that King Yan crossed the river that could be used as 100,000 soldiers, Zhu Yunwen was so shocked that his soul was not possessed, and he sought advice from all the civil and military forces, but no one offered advice at all, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to send Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guolong, Ru Chang of the Military Department, and Wang Zuo, the Governor of the Army, to the Yan Army camp to negotiate peace again.
Among these three people, except for the governor Wang Zuo, the other two are the leaders of the peace faction, the Yan army is coming to the city, Zhu Yunwen really wants to negotiate peace this time, he would rather cede half of the Jiangbei country, and only ask the fourth uncle who was provoked by him to withdraw his troops quickly.
Zhu Di was dressed in military uniform, and before the tent was erected, he met them in the army.
Li Jinglong's expression was calm and unflustered, he had already surrendered Zhu Di, and now that Zhu Di's success was imminent, he only had joy in his heart, how could he panic, but although Ru Chang was his ally, he had not yet surrendered, and the governor Wang Zuo was the main battle faction, sent as a deputy, in fact, to monitor them, he didn't dare to say anything in person.
It's just that when he saw Xia Xun standing beside Zhu Di, Li Jinglong glanced at him deeply, his eyes were full of gratitude, yes, he was very grateful to Xia Xun, if it wasn't for Xia Xun's rebellion, how could he be today, once King Yan won the world, he was from the dragon's work, so kind, because of a woman and Xia Xun's mustard has long been swept away.
Zhu Di rode on his horse, looked at the three court envoys kneeling in front of him, and sneered: "The prince is here, what are you doing?"
Ru Chang glanced at Li Jinglong, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he had to bow his head in panic and said, "The ministers came to ask His Highness for peace on the orders of the emperor.
The emperor is willing to follow the previous proposal, cut off the land in the north of the Yangtze River, and His Royal Highness to share the north and south of the Yangtze River, and rule the world together. ” Zhu Di looked up to the sky and laughed, and before the laughter stopped, he glared at the tiger and said awe-inspiringly: "I Zhu Di was not at fault before, but the emperor added guilt for no reason."
The emperor examined me to seal the Beiping domain, but the emperor was provoked by the annihilation of the ministers, not only wanted to seize my fiefdom, but also turned me into a prisoner under the steps, Zhu Di Fengtian Jingjing, what he asked for was only to get rid of the annihilation, the previous Qingcheng county lord came, this king has been the annihilation of the list to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty is full of punishment in the list, Zhu Di immediately withdraws the army, if it can't be done, then Zhu Di will follow the words of the world when the army is in trouble, personally go to Jinling, eradicate the evil spirit" "Your Highness" Ru Chang was still waiting to say more, Zhu Di brushed his sleeves and said, "Go ahead" The three of them didn't dare to say anything more, but they stood up, Li Jinglong stood up, and glanced at Xia Xun with some uneasiness, Xia Xun smiled at him quickly, and nodded unobtrusively, Li Jinglong's heart suddenly settled down, and he was busy making a panicked look, and retreated back with Ru Chang and Wang Zuo.
Watching the three of them walk away, Xia Xun pulled his horse to Zhu Di and said: "I'm afraid Your Highness has to enter the city here, Your Highness has thought about how to face the emperor."
You must know that King Yan raised an army in the name of the Qing monarch's side, so when he arrived in Nanjing, how to replace the Son of Heaven after killing those "annihilators" who showed the world was not a slap in the face, Zhu Di can fight with the heavenly army in the name of Jingnan, and he is not afraid of criticism behind his back, but if he kicks his nephew off the throne, it really can't be said.
At present, Zhu Di's most difficult thing is this matter, things have come to this point, after getting rid of Fang Xiaoru and others, he really returned to Beiping It is impossible, idiots will not do that, fight snakes and not die, there will be endless troubles, is it possible to wait for the emperor to ease his breath, and it will be difficult to do it again What's more, the times have changed, and today, the throne is at his fingertips, in the past, he dared to think but did not dare to do, and now as long as he is willing, he can replace him at any time, how can he not be tempted by the throne But what gave him a headache was that he had no name, in the face of a henchman like Xia Xun, Zhu Di naturally didn't have to hide his ambitions, as soon as he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "How does Wenxuan want to stay?"
Xia Xun said: "The minister wants to sneak back to Jinling before His Royal Highness's army, and act when the opportunity arises." ” Zhu Di is a smart person, he knows the meaning of the strings when he hears the strings, and it is inconvenient for him to say some things clearly, so he just nodded and said: "Okay, you go and arrange it yourself, what cooperation you need from this king, just explain it one by one." ” Xia Xun smiled and arched his hand: "Your Highness, how to fight here, there is no need to have any scruples, as long as the minister enters Jinling City, he can mobilize the power of the flying dragon, this is not a confrontation between the two armies, with them, it is enough." ” Li Jinglong, Ru Chang, and Wang Zuo returned to Nanjing City to say this, Zhu Yunwen's face turned pale, once upon a time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, retreated step by step, handed over the military power, handed over the three guards of Yanshan, handed over the three sons as hostages, and ran to the streets of Beiping to pretend to be crazy and stupid, just begging him to give up the pursuit, who would have thought that now that he wants to cut half of the country in turn, he can't get it Seeing Zhu Yunwen's bleak expression and the silence of the civil and military forces, Fang Xiaoru had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, in order to show the emperor's sincerity in seeking peace, it is better to ask the kings to negotiate peace for Your Majesty. ” Zhu Yunwen now has no idea at all, like a puppet, as soon as he listens to Fang Xiaoru's suggestion, regardless of whether he is useful or not, he immediately complied, and then issued an edict, ordering Zhu Yu, the king of the valley, Zhu Ying, the king of An, and other princes to go to the Yanjun camp to sue for peace, I heard that the brothers were coming, Zhu Di opened the camp tent to greet them, invited them into the tent, set up a banquet, and entertained them warmly.
As soon as Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, explained his intentions, Zhu Di laughed and said: "Brothers, please think about it, is Your Majesty telling the truth?"
Zhu Lu stubbornly said: "Brother Mingjian, from the perspective of my younger brother, Your Majesty does have peace and sincerity. ” Zhu Di smiled and said: "Zhu Di waved his army to the south, only to capture the ministers in the court, and now the ministers have not been captured, if he retires, how can Zhu Di explain to the world how to explain to the countless loyal soldiers who have fought on the battlefield and stained their robes in the past four years" Zhu Lu wanted to say more, Zhu Di stared at him and said: "Nineteenth brother, we are brothers and sisters, the emperor was bewitched by the annihilation of the ministers, and forced your eleventh brother's whole family, which is unbearable."
Your fifth, seventh, and twelfth brothers are still in prison, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear it anymore and it was difficult to raise troops, would you and my brother still be able to eat and drink here today Maybe you and I would have been locked up in the high walls of Fengyang a long time ago, and we wouldn't be able to see each other after a wall. ” When Zhu Di heard this, he was silent, Zhu Di glanced at a few younger brothers again, and said: "Brothers, think about it, since the emperor ascended the throne, there is a trace of flesh and blood affection for us close relatives, and today the emperor wants you to come to negotiate peace with me, and yesterday he said how he treated you In the past four years, you are in the capital, under his nose, with your tail between your shoulders, you are especially afraid that Your Majesty will poison you again."
Today, if you want to relieve the siege for the emperor, as soon as the army withdraws, the army of King Qin goes to Beijing, who will relieve the siege for me Zhu Di is exterminated by the imperial court, at that time, the emperor's butcher's knife is on your head, who will relieve the siege for you?
When the kings heard this, they were silent, and Zhu Di raised his glass and said, "Brothers, for my brother's words, you should think about it."
Okay, you and my brother are said to be a rare reunion today, and today they are only talking about brotherhood, not discussing military affairs, and the banquet in the army is simple, so let's accommodate it, and when we come to Jinling City, our brothers will drink at the same table."
