Jinyi Night Walk

The little princess... yelled, and whispered to Xia Xun:... I remembered, "This Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao are my third brother's subordinates." Xia Xun wanted to cry without tears: "Miss , don't you think it's a bit late to think about it now?...

Xu Ming'er wondered, "Why is it too late to think about it now?".

, "I am a prisoner".

,"ah!".Xu Ming'er couldn't get used to Xia Xun's change of status, so she remembered it when he heard him say it, and said in surprise, "What should I do then? Hurry up! Hide away!" The two hurriedly looked around. It's very small, with only one door and one door, so it's impossible for Dudu Gu and Deputy General Zhang to come here alone.There are at least dozens of soldiers outside, and they can't rush out. Where can people hide in this house?Xia Xun and the little princess quickly scanned around. There was not even room for a cat to hide in the house, let alone a living person.

The little princess jumped onto the kang suddenly, tore off the two neatly folded quilts, shook vigorously until it was as fluffy as possible, threw it on the kang, and said to Xia Xun, "Hurry up, get in quickly!" Go in.", "Okay!".Xia Xun couldn't care less, and hurriedly got into the quilt, he is a big man.Hiding head and feet under the quilt, the protruding shape doesn't look like there is no one there, the little princess kicked her feet anxiously: "Get down, lie flat...

Xia Xun got two kicks on her buttocks, poked her head out, and said with a bitter face, "Princess, you can't lie down anymore, unless you dig a hole and bury me." Zhang Bao vaguely heard someone in the room After the movement, I couldn't help wondering: "Miss, have you ever rested? Gu Cheng, the governor of the army after the rebellion, and Zhang Bao, the deputy general, asked to see you.".

, "Oh, I...wait a minute...",...

In a hurry, the little princess simply got into the quilt with her body.It's just half a foot away from Xia Xun, Xia Xun said anxiously: "Princess, get out!" The dignified princess is actually lying in bed to meet guests, who would believe it!...

,"Yes!"

Xu Ming'er, who was dazed from work, hurried out again, turned her head and saw that it was impossible, even if it was a winter quilt, it would be extremely difficult to hide an adult inside, not to mention that it was a summer quilt, which was pitifully thin.Xu Ming'er ran around in a hurry: "What should I do? What can I do?" Xia Xun gritted her teeth, lifted the quilt and jumped down the tunnel: "Princess, open the door! ...

Xu Ming'er said worriedly, "Then what should you do?"

Xia Xun said calmly, "If you stretch out your head and slash your head, it's also a slash if you shrink your head. If you must die, you can't die too poorly. Just bet...they don't recognize me. If they don't recognize me, the princess will call me here Inquiring about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is just prevarication, the princess said so, it is expected that they will not pursue it...

Xu Ming'er stomped her feet, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to the door: "Please come in!  …

The door squeaked." Gu Cheng stepped in. "Seeing Xu Ming'er's appearance," he couldn't help being anxious and happy: "It really is the princess! ... Just as he was about to bow his body to salute, when he saw Xia Xun again, Gu Cheng couldn't help being startled, and thought to himself: "Although the princess is still young," men and women are different after all. It's not too early or too late." There is a man?...

Gu Cheng stared at Xia Xun intently.He was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was at the moment. He only knew that Yang Xu of the Jinyiwei had planned the terrific plan for the third son of King Yan to escape from Nanjing, but he had never had the opportunity to see the bulletin posted on the street. He had never dealt with Xia Xun head-on.It's just that the Dudu's Mansion and the Jinyiwei Yamen are next to each other. Xia Xun often went in and out of the palace when he was in charge of the palace guard arrangement on behalf of Luo Kedi.

However, Zhang Bao, who came in right after him, was different. He recognized Xia Xun, who was in a lawsuit with the Yang family back then.When Xu Zengshou heard the trial in person, he was the general on duty, and he met Lu several times after that.Although they had never been close, he recognized Xia Xun's appearance. At this moment, he saw Xia Xun standing next to the little princess, Zhang Bao was shocked, pulled out his saber, and said sharply, "Yang Xu?! ".

, "Yang Xu?,.

Gu Cheng was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was the court criminal. Without further ado, Gu Cheng unsheathed the precious saber with a clang, and Zhang Bao's two shiny steel knives were like open scissors.It reached Xia Xun's neck.

Xu Ming'er shouted urgently: "You are not allowed to kill him, even if he is a criminal of the imperial court, he is also my savior. If you still pay attention to my Zhongshan Palace, don't touch him!"

, "Damn it, people recognized it after all...

Xia Xun took a long breath, still maintaining a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile, "If Yang Xu died under the knife of two people today, who will the ghosts of the two of them be tomorrow?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In King Yan's camp, Zhu Di was holding a candle and looking at a simple sand table, surrounded by Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu and other generals.Zhu Di looked carefully for a long time, then sighed softly, "Marquis Changxing is worthy of being the most famous general in Ming Dynasty. This deployment is really impenetrable and impeccable.

Zhang Yu leaned slightly and said, "Geng Bingwen moved outside Zhending City and led the main force to station on both sides of the Hutuo River in the south of the city. Another general Xu Kai led troops to station in Hejian. Pan Zhong camped in Sizhou and Yang Song led the vanguard. 9000 people are guarding Yuxiong County. Such deployments are intertwined and interlocking, advancing and attacking, retreating and defending, echoing each other!  …

Zhu Di took the lead and said: "Yes, if I fail in the first battle," the Marquis of Changxing will enter my heart like an arrow.Completely defeat me with a powerful force.If I can win, he can return to the nearest Zhending Mansion, relying on the strong city to stand by and wait for help. This old fox is not easy to deal with...

Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled and said, "Father, in terms of the ability to defend the city, no one in my Ming Dynasty can surpass the Marquis of Changxing. With such a strong position, why didn't he just guard Zhending City? With this old general The ability to defend the city, I am afraid that even if we have ten times more soldiers and horses, how can we not be able to defeat him?".

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "He came here to punish me as a rebel, so what's the matter with hiding in Zhending City? Lao Geng has never fought against me, and he is also testing the current deployment. It's my job."

Zhu Neng pondered for a while and asked, "I wonder what your Highness and the generals think about this situation?"

Zhu Di frowned and said: "The imperial army has 30 troops, and now there are 13 gathered around Zhending Mansion, and our army is now fully loaded" with only 3 horses.The enemy army is several times against me, so it is not appropriate to fight hard with them. "

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "What Your Highness said is very true, according to my humble position" we should avoid his edge.Geng Bingwen came here under his orders, so we can’t squat in Zhending City and watch us escape, we have to lead him by the nose and reveal his flaws, then it will be better..."

As soon as he said this, he heard a noise outside.Someone loudly reported outside the tent: "His Royal Highness, the leaders of a hundred households heard that the imperial army had arrived at Zhending City, and they were afraid of death. They led more than a hundred people in their troops and wanted to escape from the barracks. We have now Catch him back, please His Highness deal with it!"

When Zhu Di heard it, his expression changed suddenly, and Zhang Yu said, "Go and see the humble job!"

Bei Zhudi looked extremely stern.He said sharply, "Don't look at it. Kill them all!"

There are more than a hundred people, Zhang Yu couldn't help but startled when he heard it, but when he saw Zhu Di's livid face, he couldn't help nodding, and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"

On the school field, "more than a hundred soldiers knelt on the ground" with their hands bound behind their backs.There is a steel knife pressed on the neck.On the periphery are three soldiers in iron armor and cold clothes who were ordered to supervise and behead them.Standing in strict formation, the red tassels at the tip of the guns fluttered in the night wind, and the steel knives were reflected by the bonfire, flickering with a blood-red cold light. The school field with thousands of people was completely silent.

A large flag with the word "Swallow" fluttered in the wind, and Zhang Yu, who was all in military uniform, stood on the flag. His figure was as tall and straight as a pine, and his resolute facial contours were cut like knives under the reflection of the burning torch: "The military order is like a mountain. Well, every brother, You should have heard it from the day you put on these clothes and took up your swords and guns.

Military discipline is lax.An army is like a pan of scattered sand, and if the army is weak, it will be defeated in battle. As a soldier, there is no enemy and no one in front of the battle. Even if he has thousands of troops and strong enemies like a forest, he can only move forward and never retreat.Those who retreat from the battle are abandoning themselves and their robes. What should they do like these scum in the army? "

The soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "Cut!"

Drinking Zhang Yuzhen said: "I didn't hear clearly. Louder!

"Cut! Chop! Chop!"

The soldiers of the three armies struck the ground with their guns and struck their armor with their knives, making a clanging sound.

"Military orders are like a mountain, Lingying and his subordinates. Fearing the battle and fleeing, they will be executed according to the order! Follow His Highness's order, kill them all! Execute!"

Lingying knelt down, his eyes rolled wildly, and he was still thinking about how many military sticks he would have to suffer, and how he could perfunctory get over it.He knew that Zhu Di had limited troops now.At the time of employment, every veteran is his eyeball, and he is reluctant to sacrifice in vain.As the saying goes, the law does not blame the crowd, but I did not expect that the King of Yan ordered to be executed, and more than 100 people, regardless of whether they were officers or soldiers, were executed.

"No! Your Highness, please spare me! Master Zhang, please plead for the last general, the last general will never..."

"puff!"

The executioner was neat and tidy, Zhang Yu gave an order, and his head rolled to the ground with a flash of cold light. For a moment, the lights of swords and blood burst out on the school grounds. In a short while, more than a hundred people were all dead on the spot. , the bloody smell makes people want to vomit.

Zhang Yu said coldly: "The court is unfair and treacherous ministers are in power. That's why Your Highness raised troops to quell the difficulties. Your Highness is to help the country. The righteousness lies. Although there are many soldiers and horses in the court, they are nothing but chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow. Your Highness is in command. We are invincible against the Mobei Hulu, and we are also invincible against the unrighteous troops of the court, and those who fear the battle and those who confuse the army will be killed without mercy, do you hear me clearly?"

The curtain was lifted, and Zhang Yu came in wrapped in a bloody smell. The wind outside the tent blew in, and the candle Zhu Di was holding firmly in his hand couldn't help flickering for a while, Zhang Yu quickly put down the curtain, and said: "Your Highness, the lowly position has... ..."

Zhu Di waved his hand, called his watch, and said in a deep voice: "Shimei, we have to fight this battle, and we have to fight if we don't fight. Not only must we fight, but we must win. This is the court's rebellion. In the first battle after the army arrives at Zhending, if I, Zhu Di, dodge and don’t fight, the army’s morale will be exhausted, and the army will be defeated like a mountain. From now on... there will be no need to fight.”

Zhang Yu also knew that the soldiers of the three armies were not afraid of death, but were instinctively afraid of the orthodoxy of the imperial court. Now only one part of the army is fleeing, and the rest of the troops may not be in chaos. If this first battle is won, The morale of the army can be settled down. If it is to avoid war, although it is right from a strategic point of view.But as the first battle with the imperial court's Northern Expedition.Whether to fight or not to fight obviously has great significance beyond war.

He said solemnly: "If that's the case, we can only concentrate on attacking Xiong County. If we can eat Yang Song's 1 horses, it will be a great victory!"

Zhu Nengdao: "Xu Kai and Pan Zhong are like a crab Zhang Shuang'ao, Changxing Hou's mouth is wide open. He put Yang Song alone in the front, I am afraid that he intends to lure me into the trap. If I am not careful," Zhu Di said desolately: "The arrow is on the string. No way. If not, as for life and death, I, Zhu Di, have ignored it since the day of Jingnan!"

Zhang Yu and other generals looked solemn, and they all bent down and said, "I will follow Your Highness to the death!"

Zhu Di smiled faintly, and leaned over to look at the sand table again, but a shadow that was not easy to be noticed quietly passed his eyes: "Geng Bingwen, a veteran of the Guo Dynasty, attacked every step of the way, and his defense was impeccable. It is difficult for Zhuge Zhi to deal with it." There is such a disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, but where is my Zhuge Kongming, Zhu Di?"! ~!
