Chapter 36: The picture is revealed (3)

There was no scream or blood splattering. Liang Cheng was stunned. Song Zhong had already taken advantage of the situation to pounce on the guards. Liang Cheng was waiting to be chased, and several guards behind him had already called him up, so Liang Cheng had to turn around to resist.

Although he cut another person, more and more soldiers were entangled with warriors. Liang Cheng saw that Song Zhong was protected by the guards and hid among the crowd. He was anxious. He separated several single swords with one knife and sold a flaw and tried his best to fly the sword towards Song Zhong.

This was a desperate move. As soon as he took a single sword, a general behind him had already stabbed into Liang Cheng's vest.

Liang Cheng suffered a pain, his body shook, and suddenly shouted with all his strength: "Beiping has been occupied by the King of Yan. He led a hundred thousand troops to fight here. If you don't surrender quickly, I, Liang Cheng, will take a step forward to you.

"As he said that, he rushed forward, and let the tip of the knife that had been protruding in his previous heart penetrate into the body of another guard, and then he slowly fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.

"Om" Liang Cheng's last blow just now failed, and he inserted it into the pillar and shook his own sword. Although Song Zhong was surrounded by several guards, he still stared at the single sword in a daze.

The one who stabbed Liang Cheng to death just now was Sun Tai. He grabbed him and helped Song Zhong to sit down on the chair, saying, "This person must be a dead soldier sent by the King of Yan, who wants to assassinate the governor.

It seems that the incident in Peking is absolutely true, and the governor should send troops to retake Peiping as soon as possible. In addition, Xu Li and other old generals in Yanshan may have the possibility of being rebeled. Please take them down as soon as possible and take them in the camp and wait for the defeat. "

Song Zhong, who had escaped the disaster with his soft armor just now, was so scared that he almost urinated his pants. He had no idea and quickly took down all the generals of the King of Yan as Sun Tai suggested.

Xu Li was about to defend himself, but three or four guards rushed up and pressed him down with his arms. Xu Li struggled and said, "Governor, if there is no evidence, we will be arrested. The last time we are not convinced.

"The former Yan King's former subordinates who were captured next to him also started to clamor. Song Zhong was so confused that he did not listen to their defense. He waved his hand and signaled to escort him.

There was a mess in the big tent, and another soldier came to report outside: "Big, big, big, big things are wrong. The dozen defeated soldiers who entered the camp just now lit up the food and grass."

...

Although it had been three days since the uprising, the city of Beiping was still in chaos. Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and Ge Cheng's heads were hung on the three city gates in the east, south and north respectively to warn Peiping that the three of them were beheaded by beheading the plot to murder the King of Yan.

There were many people under the city gate, and countless soldiers came in and out. Although the city gate was still open to the people. However, each city gate had a hundred households guarding each city gate, and strict inspections were carried out on the people.

All officials loyal to the court and soldiers will be identified and arrested, especially the Jinyiwei. This is a special reminder for the King of Yan to capture the landlords.

Peiping is the gateway to the entire north. It was originally a Jinyiwei general flag stationed. Later, in order to increase the investigation of Zhu Di, the troops increased to a scale of one hundred households.

Although it is a hundred households, the actual commander is a thousand households in the Jinyiwei's Criminal Division. Zhu Di hated this group of people who always monitored his power. Qianjia had already been killed during the first day of rebellion. Now the Jinyiwei is conducting a city-wide search for the Jinyiwei.

There was a sudden riot at the south gate, "Hurry. Hurry up and grab him!" Several soldiers rushed towards a knight. The knight rushed into the door like a horse arrow. The soldiers around him were noisy and wanted to stop him, but how could people block the horse's power?

A general dressed in a hundred households next to him came over: "Don't mess around. Come with arrows.

"The follower next to him handed a big bow, Baihu bent his bow and arrow, and "swoosh" shot into the back of the knight who had just rushed through the door hole. The knight was like a kite with a broken string, and he ran off the horse weakly, leaving only the unmanned mount on his back to rush out of the distance.

Baihu handed the bow to the soldier next to him and spitted: "Bah, the damn Jinyiwei still wants to run away."

The people next to him were so scared that their faces looked like earth. "How did this commander know that he is the Jinyiwei?"

"I heard that the Jinyiwei all wore blue hats. After a long time, there was a circle of blue tips on his head. The man just now wore a hat on his head, and it was naturally exposed after it was revealed."

Two people were pulling, when suddenly a pigeon flew in front of them, and a feather arrow pierced through the pigeon's neck. The people were frightened and hurried out of the city. Two archers above the city gate quickly walked down the city and ran over.

One person grabbed the pigeon and laughed: "Lao Liu, today is the third one. You have only shot one. What, you must be invited to drink at night."

The partner next to him seemed very disdainful: "It's only noon, who knows who ejaculated more in the afternoon."

The man grabbed the pigeon and said, "I didn't expect that all the pigeons in the city of Peking were killed by Master Daoyan's order, but they also became delicious in our belly."

The partner snorted: "I'm going to say you're a little bit lighter, Master Daoyan is also what you joked about? He was a clever idea and knew that the pigeons would convey messages to the enemy, so he ordered the elimination of all pigeons within a radius of ten miles of Beiping.

Don't talk nonsense. "The two of them returned to the city tower while chatting, and continued to bend their bows and arrows to monitor the sky.

The Yan Prince's Mansion located in the northern part of Peking is even more lively than a market. All the houses on both sides of the royal palace were requisitioned as military camps. Soldiers in various flags, armor and soldiers were called horses and neighing, and soldiers in front of the royal palace were in and out.

A few days ago, it was deserted, but now it has become the center of Peking and even the center of attention of the entire empire.

"Reported, a group of people outside the North Gate were camping under the banner of Miyun Guard. General Tang from the North Gate had ordered the city gate to close. "A messenger knelt in the hall and was reporting.

In the middle of the hall was Zhu Di, with his distinctive armor and heroic figure, and he was not as good as pretending to be crazy a few days ago. The three sons Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were dressed neatly and arranged on the left and right, and the other civil and military officials were divided into two squads.

Listening to the report of the messenger, Zhu Di laughed: "Tang Yun is getting more guilty as he grows older. These are the five thousand Miyun Guards led by Zheng Heng. Come and join me. Send the order quickly and ask them to open the city gate and welcome Zheng Heng into the city."

Zheng Heng was the second garrison to join the aid. Fang Sheng, the Tongzhou garrison, had already led 3,000 elite cavalry to join the aid of Peking. Although Zhu Di took a risk to defeat his subordinates loyal to the court in one blow, his strength was still too small.

The original death soldiers and the royal palace guards were about 1,000, Zhang Xin had 500 personal guards, and there were more than 5,000 soldiers and horses directly controlled by the Beiping Dushi. Anyway, after all the nine gates of Beiping were captured on the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhu Di had only 6,500 soldiers and horses. There were nearly 10,000 soldiers and soldiers scattered in the huge Beiping city.

Zhu Di followed the strategy of the commander Li Rui, who was surrendering, and planted a red flag in the large campus in the west of the city.

Then it spread all over the city. Whether or not all the soldiers followed the King of Yan, they would be exempted from death as long as they were willing to gather under the banner and surrender, and they would still be in the army to eat food. This plan was very good. Whoever the soldiers followed was not a war, and another 3,000 people surrendered in two days.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, there were Fang Sheng, Zheng Heng and other confidant generals leading 8,000 troops to help, and Zhu Di had already mastered 18,000 people. Zhu Di immediately restored his own Yanshan Three Guards.

Five thousand old subordinates from the Dusi area of ​​Peking formed the Yanshan Left Guard, and Zhang Yu was the commander; three thousand people from the surrendered land plus one thousand dead soldiers formed the Yanshan Central Guard, and Zhu Neng was led by Zhu Xin; five hundred people of Zhang Xin set up a Yanshan avant-garde air and continued to join the old subordinates of the Yan King who came to bid farewell to the place.

In addition, the right guards of Yanshan, Zhao Yi's Yongping Guards, and Jiang Yu's Zunhua Guards all went to Beiping day and night. Zhu Di's men continued to grow like snowballs.

Zhu Di was in a good mood at this time. The bird breath that had been held in for a year since Zhu Yuanzhang's death finally came out. After dealing with the matter of welcoming Miyunwei, he recruited his subordinates and civil and military confidants to discuss the next countermeasures.

A map of the capital in Beijing spread out on the Eight Immortals table. Zhu Di pointed to the map and asked, "Now we occupy the palm-sized place in Peking. Where do you think we should go next?"

The second son Zhu Gaoxu's face was filled with bloodthirsty excitement and said, "The father said that only attacks can one grasp the opportunity. Now General Fang of Tongzhou has surrendered, Tongzhou is the hub of the north and south, and Shangluo will definitely come from here to fight against rebellion.

Our army should be quick to move south from Tongzhou. We should take advantage of the court's preparations to enter Shandong and threaten the Jianghuai River."

Zhu Di was born with a very aggressive handsome man. His son's advice was obviously very suitable for his appetite. Now he has nearly 20,000 troops. With his Yan army's strength, it is not bad to kill him until he reaches the capital.

He nodded while listening, "My son makes some sense, what do you think?"

Zhang Yu frowned and stared at the map, neither agreeing nor objecting; Zhu Neng looked the same. When Zhu Di saw Zhang Yu's expression, he knew that he had something to say, and asked, "Why, Shimei has something to say?"

Zhang Yu said slowly: "The Second Highness's plan is not bad. He used to take advantage of the fact that the court was not prepared to rush over all the way, but the journey from Peiping to Yingtian is long. It's not a matter of overnight success.

Tongzhou is the gateway to the east of Beiping and the gateway to the south. But please see, Jizhou strangled Tongzhou's neck, and the commander Ma Xuan was the direct subordinate of the court. If our army went south and he took advantage of the situation to attack and occupy Tongzhou, our army would definitely be attacked from both sides.

Only by occupying Jizhou first can future troubles be avoided.”

Zhu Neng also said: "Your Highness. Our army now has only 20,000 troops. Although the Right Guard of Yanshan, Yongping Guard, Zunhua Guard, and Yanqing Guard can gather at the city of Beiping soon, our army has less than 40,000 troops. There are 100,000 imperial soldiers around us staring at them.

Among them, Song Zhong's 30,000 troops had arrived in Huailai. Yu Shen guarded 3,000 troops at Juyong Pass. He could see Beiping at any time. If our army went south, Song Zhong could easily occupy Beiping Kongcheng.

Therefore, when the threats from both the east and the west are not eliminated, you should not go south easily. Please think twice. "

Who is Zhu Di? Although he was blinded by the victory for a while, after reminding his two most trusted subordinates, he suddenly discovered Jizhou and Huailai, both east and west, just as his eyes peeked at Peking.

Fang Shengdao: "Didn't Your Highness send a dead soldier to assassinate Song Zhong? I wonder if it's successful?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "The assassination of Song Zhong by the dead soldiers was just a delaying strategy. Gu did not expect them to succeed at all. Shimei and Shi Hong's words were reasonable. Gu had made up his mind and took advantage of Ma Xuan's foothold and Song Zhong hesitated to defeat these two men first.

Zhu Neng, Fang Sheng!”

"The last one is here!" The two generals answered at the same time.

"You are the one who leads the Yanshan Central Guard and Tongzhou Wei to the east. You can contact Jiang Yu first. The east and west sides will defeat the Ma Xuan army and make an end to the Beiping East Road. The three guards on the east road will be commanded by Zhu Neng."

"I will obey the order."

"After Qiu Fu led his army to arrive, Gu personally led the left guard of Yanshan, and the right guard fell into Song Zhong, a useless watchdog.

"Zhu Di's words attracted everyone's laughter, "Gao Chi, you, Zhang Xin, and Zheng Heng led your army to guard Peiping, clear out the chaotic army of the court in the city, and calm the people's hearts." Zhu Gaochi quickly agreed.

Seeing that the distribution was correct, Zhu Di waved his hand: "Let's go to the Xixiaochang to review the three armies and swear to fight for the crisis."

"My Taizu Gao, the legitimate son of Empress Xiaoci Gao, and the closest relative of the country, has only known to follow the law and keep the part. Now the young master succeeds the throne, trusts the traitor and returns, causing a great disaster and slaughtering my family.

What crime did King Zhou, King Qi, and King Xiang commit? They were framed by traitors. My father and queen had difficulty starting a business. The feudal sons were in vain and kept in the world. Once they were destroyed, the emperor and queen were able to learn from each other.

"The Ancestral Instructions" says, "There are no righteous ministers in the court, and there are evil deeds in it. The prince will train soldiers and wait for the order. The emperor secretly ordered the kings to lead the troops to fight for peace." Now the disaster is forced to do so, but in order to survive, it is a last resort.

If righteousness and evil are incompatible with heaven, we must pursue heaven's pursuit to safeguard the country, and the gods of heaven and earth will shine on their hearts."

Zhu Di's words echoed over the school ground. He looked around and the school ground was silent. Obviously, in the minds of the soldiers, he was still in trouble. It was just this little man.

Suddenly, a horse ran into the schoolyard and reported loudly: "Miyun Guard Commander Zheng Heng led 10,000 troops to the emperor.

"As he said that, a team of distinct armor and flying flags appeared at the entrance of the schoolyard. Five hundred cavalry led by the leader were like a strong wind and the army was majestic. Then eight rows of infantry stepped into the schoolyard with neat steps, and the soldiers came to the front of the platform and lined up in an orderly manner.

A general in a furious place came to the General Platform and bowed immediately: "After that Zheng Heng heard that the traitor of the imperial court framed the King of Yan, he specially led his troops to serve the king and protect the emperor."

The elite soldiers of Miyun Guard suddenly entered the school ground, which was a trick that Zhu Di had arranged long ago. When the officers and soldiers on the field saw new aids coming, their morale was boosted.

But suddenly, a dark cloud covered the roof, and the strong wind suddenly came. The military flag on the stage was blown to the east and west, and sand and stones flew under the stage, and people could not meet each other in a short distance.

The ancients said that the signs of sending troops were the most omen. The strong winds were considered to be a great disaster. Now the flag of the commander is shaking in the strong wind. Seeing this, Zhu Di hurriedly raised his arms and shouted: "There are ancestors and the country above and the people below. Zhu Di was in the dilemma of heaven and sacrificed his life to achieve his benevolence."

The guards in the audience took the opportunity to respond to "Fengtian Jingjian, sacrifice themselves for success." The strong wind stopped a little, and the shouts spread like waves. Nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers in the entire school shouted in unison.

It's strange that the voices of the officers and soldiers seemed to shock the storm in the sky. In a short while, the dark clouds in the sky in the east flashed a crack, revealing a blue sky, about one foot, and the sun shone down, just on the stage, and bathed Zhu Di on the stage in the sunlight, it was really a bit like a fairy.

Zhang Yu seized this opportunity and raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the King of Yan!" The officers and soldiers in the audience thought that this was a good sign, and their slightly panicked minds condensed again, and followed Zhang Yu and shouted, "Long live the King of Yan, long live the King of Yan."

"I don't care whether the King of Yan could afford it if he said "Long Live".
