Chapter 38: Take All in All (1)

"Shanhaiguan victory, Shanhaiguan victory!" A messenger ran into the Liao King's Mansion in Guangning City.

Zhu Zhi jumped up from the couch, "Okay, good fight, come and bring wine." He walked around the study like a child, rubbing his hands while walking.

"In an hour, less than an hour, the cannon collapsed the city gate of the world's number one pass. I never thought, I really thought of it. With this battle, there will be no unbreakable city in the world.

"Yang Rong looked back and forth with the military newspaper, and really didn't believe the facts described in it. In the ancient era of cold weapons, it was definitely not easy to attack a strong city like Shanhaiguan with twice the number.

Back then, it took several years to attack Xiangyang Jiancheng with the courage of the Mongolian army. Now the Liaodong Army has broken through the pass in less than an hour, which has to be said to be a great victory.

Zhu Zhi stopped from the excitement and said, "Mianren, you are right. There is no unbreakable city in the world. It is these artillery that changed the pattern of war."

Tie Xuan, who had just received the news, happened to be at the door and took over the conversation and said, "With this powerful weapon, it is not difficult to break the barrier. It is rare to see how to capture the Yan army in one place.

Bei Zhi was also worried that Xiao Ma Wang would not wait for the Jinzhou Guard to detain the pass directly, so he specially sent him a tip. Xiao Ma Wang finally took the overall situation into consideration and waited until the Jinzhou Guard landed and surrounded Shanhaiguan before he broke the city."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Hahaha, my Liaodong athlete is extraordinary." He was quite proud.

This was the first battle between the Liaodong Army and the Yan Army. Only victory is allowed but not defeated. In this battle, Liaodong mobilized Dingliao Right Guard, Ningyuan Guard, Guangning Guard, Fuzhou Guard, Guangning Left Guard, and Guangning Left Guard, plus the Jinzhou Guard, which is a surprise soldier, with a force of 30,000. Among them, the Guangning Right Guard and other four guards attacked head-on, and the Dingliao Right Guard made a roundabout way to distract the Yan Army. The Jinzhou Guard took a boat to cross the Bohai Sea within five days and landed in Shanhaiguan.

Then attack the Yan army in one fell swoop.

The Marine Corps landed on the side and rear and cut off the way back. The dense firearm bombardment made the battle suddenly extremely easy. The comparison of one hundred and seven thousand casualties was quite a bit like the charm of the Gulf War.

Although it is difficult for the Liaodong army to lose from the entire combat plan. But Zhu Zhi was always in charge. Before the battle started, Zhu Zhi was still a little confused. Whether the Liaodong army in his own country could compete with the Yan army was still unclear.

Zhu Zhi was imagining the situation under the city of Shanhaiguan. Damn, this is the advantage of weapon generation. Because of heavy artillery, the fortress collapsed from then on; with powerful navy, the army of Liaodong could land in any area to attack the enemy.

What a bullshit Yan army or a strong army in the world is all nonsense. It is not certain who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who

Just as Zhu Zhi was thinking, he drooling. The maid had already brought the wine, Zhu Zhi ordered three cups to be poured, and asked Yang Rong and Tie Xuan to pick it up: "Come on, two sirs, this battle will bring about the prestige of Liaodong. It is worth celebrating, haha.

"The two of them knew that the prince would dance with joy when he encountered a happy event, and drank it all with a smile.

Putting down the wine glass, Tie Xuan said: "It's a pity that Zhu Neng ran away."

Yang Rong said: "Haha. Wang Feng has been holding back his energy to fight Zhu Shihong, but he didn't expect to leave without hitting him."

Tie Xuan said: "Information in the south says that Geng Hou was in charge of the Northern Expedition and probably had arrived at the front line. Zhu Neng was probably transferred back to Peiping early."

Zhu Zhi, who was proud for a long time, then came back to his senses and said, "Well, it's a pity that a Zhu can match these seven thousand native chickens and tiles." Originally, the design of this battle was clever, and Zhu Zhi also hoped to capture Zhu Di's right-hand man in one battle.

But I didn't expect that there were variables.

Yang Rong said: "The imperial army is approaching, should we also discuss countermeasures?"

Zhu Zhi was very clear about the situation of history. Geng Bingwen was no match for Zhu Di at all. If he had led his army south at this time, would this history have changed? He held the wine glass and fell into deep thought.

Tie Xuan said: "Your Highness, if you lead your troops south and cooperate with the court to pacify Peiping, it would be a great achievement." As he said that, he raised his eyes and stared at Zhu Zhi.

Yang Rong chuckled: "Dingshi. It is a great achievement to pacify Peking, but what if the master of the town is worthy? I will pacify the King of Yan. Does Your Highness have a good life?"

Tie Xuan's face suddenly turned red. Although he had already boarded Zhu Zhi's boat, deep down he still felt a little concerned about the court. But he also knew very well that at present, the court and the vassal kings would have to be incompatible.

No matter whether the court or the King of Yan wins, it is better for each side of the vassal kings to be defended by Zhu Yuanzhang. In the end, Zhu Zhi’s fate would be unpredictable.

Zhu Zhi blinked and said, "Why do you have to say that? If you don't want to beat the Fourth Brother, you can hand over the military power and be the Prince of Taiping."

Yang Rong followed closely: "I'm afraid Prince Taiping has nothing to do."

Zhu Zhi pretended to be angry: "You!"

Tie Xuan sighed: "Stop talking about Mian Ren. Since Ding Shi assisted Your Highness, he will naturally plan for Your Highness wholeheartedly. No matter what happens in the future, he will definitely share his life and death with Your Highness."

Zhu Zhi walked over, patted Tie Xuan on the shoulder and said, "I don't understand Dingshi's heart. Now, I can only take one step at a time."

Yang Rong said: "Your Highness, I think it is most beneficial to maintain an unbeatable situation in the north and south to face Liaodong.

As he saw the humble position, he could have ordered the little horse king to lead troops to repair the pass and make a peek at Beiping, but he must not move south. At least, if the military power in Liaodong does not completely fall into the hands of His Highness for a day, His Highness does not need to do his best."

Tie Xuan said: "It can be said that our army annihilated 7,000 enemies and lost 5,000 to himself. Before the main force returned south, it was temporarily unable to advance south. Attacking a strong city like Shanhaiguan, this loss is still necessary."

Seeing Tie Xuan think about him, Zhu Zhi felt relieved. As a right-hand man, Yang Rong and Tie Xuan should work together. He thought and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. You write a pleat to the Ministry of War to show your merits to the Little Ma Wang, and you should also remove his title as "Common Commander-in-Chief". You must reward him if you make great contributions.

I will set out tomorrow and go to Shanhaiguan to reward the three armies."

As he was talking, someone came outside to report: "The imperial imperial envoy Huang Kui, the Minister of Rites, was ordered to comfort Liaodong, and the official lord had arrived at Songshan Port."

Zhu Zhi signaled to know and asked the person to go out, and smiled slightly: "It's coming so fast, what do you mean by the court sending Huang Kui?"

Yang Rong said: "Your Highness has been kind to Lord Huang. The imperial court sent him here to win over him. I think there is another intention to break the military power in Liaodong."

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "According to what you said, Lord Huang is still beneficial to me when he comes to Liaoning. Okay, please come to Songshan Port for a hard time to welcome me."

...

Songshan Port was not as deep as Jinzhou. Huang Kui's official ship had to throw the anchor a hundred meters offshore, and the imperial envoy's banner was floating alone at the top of the mast.

Songshan Port is deserted, except for a few children fishing shrimps in the port. All the forces of the Liaodong Navy were concentrated on Shanhaiguan and Liaolu Waterways. At this time, there were only two old-fashioned blessed boats in the port basking in the sun.

Songshan Port did not respond to the arrival of the imperial envoy.

Even Zhu Zhi couldn't stand it. He remembered that when he returned to Liao, thousands of sails competed to greet him. The imperial envoy represented the emperor at least.

During the years when Zhu Zhi was in charge of Liaodong, the changes have been earth-shaking. The people's hearts are like a mirror. The court has taken care of it. This place thousands of miles away from Yingtian is just a hair of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Without Zhu Zhi, there would be no prosperity in Liaodong, and this has nothing to do with the imperial court.

But Zhu Zhi could not do this, he had to give him enough face to the court. The military band and his own barracks followed him to Songshan, set up a long line to greet him, and asked his subordinates to put flags on both sides of the official road.

Zhu Zhi walked around himself and saw that he was able to pass.

The cannon fired here, and the Liao King's ceremonial war appeared clearly in the port. Zhu Zhi sent Yang Rong to lead two small boats to greet him. After half an hour, people from the large boat came down from the hanging ladder and followed the imperial envoy's ceremonial war to another small boat.

The two ships slowly sailed towards the dock. Xiao Chenzi muttered a few words to his subordinates. Not long after, the fortress next to the port began to sound salutes. The sky came, and twenty-one cannons were fired.

Amid the sound of cannons and drums, Huang Kui stepped onto the pier and saw Zhu Zhi greeting him. Huang Kui hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhu Zhi naturally walked faster than the imperial envoy. He walked to Huang Kui three steps at a time, lifted the royal robe and knelt down to see the emperor, and said, "My minister, Liao King Zhu Zhi, welcomed the emperor's imperial envoy."

Huang Kui read the book according to the book: "The King of Liao is exempt from gifts."

When Zhu Zhi stood up, Huang Kui bowed to Zhu Zhi and said, "I'm sorry to welcome you." This is the end of the etiquette.

Zhu Zhi stepped forward and grabbed Huang Kui's hand, laughed: "Old Huang, Lao Huang, it's been a long time since we saw each other. Come on, come and go to the city to rest with me."

Seeing that Zhu Zhi was intimate with him, Huang Kui was a little restrained, but he didn't dare to pull his hand out and followed Zhu Zhi into his car. The eunuch who was holding the imperial edict behind him got on the imperial envoy's car.

Sitting in the comfortable carriage, Zhu Zhi gave Huang Kui a glass of cool wine and said, "Mr. Huang is coming so fast, how many days will he set off?"

Huang Kui said: "Xiaguan set out on July 23rd. The waterway was 18 days before and after, and it was quite smooth."

Zhu Zhi said: "Old friend comes here. Now the King of Japan personally cooks a table of seafood for Lord Huang. This thing is my specialty of Liaodong."

Huang Kui said: "Prince Xie, I should ask for a glass of water and wine tonight, but the main business is important. Yan is against the trend. Today, I am worried and don't know how Liaodong will deal with it."

Zhu Zhi smiled slightly, and was here to touch my old place, and said, "The Fourth Brother is in chaos, and the world is not allowed. I have already transferred the army to advance south. Yesterday, the front line sent back a good news that Shanhaiguan had been captured by our army and annihilated 7,000 enemies."

Huang Kui's eyes lit up and he nodded and said, "Congratulations to His Highness for winning the flag, but I don't know if he will regain Peiping next?"

Zhu Zhi picked up the wine glass in his hand and touched Huang Kui, and said, "Mr. Huang, why are you so anxious? It's not too late to talk about the serious business when we arrived in Guangning. Come and drink the wine made in our Fuzhou.
