The palace gates were rumbled open, and the cornices and bucket arches of the Chengyun Hall were faintly visible from above the heavy palace walls. Afterwards, palace gates were opened one after another. King Ning Zhu Quan stood under the palace gates, looked at Zhu Di who was on the horse, and bowed from afar without stepping on his feet. After half a step out of the palace gate, his expression was very complicated.

Zhu Di laughed secretly: "This seventeenth brother..."

Thinking of what Xia Xun had revealed to him about Prince Ning's intentions, Zhu Di shook his head secretly, got off his horse, and went to meet Zhu Quan.A few armored guards followed closely behind him.

"Your Highness, you cannot welcome Yan Ni into the palace!"

Suddenly a man came out from the slanting stabbing, and he cried and worshiped Ning Wang Zhu Quan: "Your Highness, Yan Ni is a rebellious minister and traitor. Everyone will punish him if he gets it. Your Highness won't kill traitors for the country, so why welcome him into the palace? Brotherly love! , Is it greater than the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers?"

"Huh? Which shameless person is this, who has the nerve to say such unashamed nonsense!"

As soon as Zhu Quan heard this, he didn't make a fuss. Do you think he is happy to get this field today?A good king outside the Great Wall should be at ease. The emperor said that the military power was cut off, and the benefits of the three guards were also cut off. He wanted to guard a palace and live a good life, but the emperor thought his life was an eyesore. Now King Yan's soldiers have entered Daning City , I have to hand over the army I recruited, and all I want to do is to save my life and wealth. If it is a last resort, is Zhu Quan willing to do this?

Zhu Quan took a closer look, and found that it was Shi Shizhuan, the head of the palace. Zhu Di didn't expect to have a problem, so he couldn't help standing still at the bottom of the steps. Everyone was curiously looking at this old Shi who was not afraid of death.

King Ning and the main concubine didn't say anything, but the side concubine Shaning couldn't help but sneer and said: "Shi Changshi, His Highness King Ning originally had an army of [-], but unfortunately, the military power is no longer in his hands. What do you ask His Highness to do for you?" The country eliminates rape?"

Shi Zhuan sternly said: "Your Majesty, please shut up, it's your turn to talk about important national affairs!"

After Shi Zhuan finished speaking, he said proudly to Zhu Quan: "Your Highness has no soldiers or horses, but only an iron rod, a seven-foot man's body, and the blood of a hero!"

Zhu Quan laughed angrily: "What does Shi Changshi mean, let me hold an iron rod to fight against the tens of thousands of cavalry of the four imperial brothers?"

Shi Zhuan said: "Even if you can't resist the enemy, Your Highness should close the palace gates and not make peace with the rebellious court. If you are so afraid of Yan's rebellion and open the palace gates to welcome them, where will your Highness put yourself?"

Zhu Quan said sadly: "Lord Changshi thinks, where does this king put himself?"

Shi Zhuan said: "Yan Ni is hypocritical and righteous. Since he keeps saying that he wants to punish traitors and Qing emperors, His Highness just closes the palace door and does not see each other. Forgive Yan Ni and he will not dare to destroy his promise and brazenly break into the palace to hurt His Highness. Da Ze Helping the world at the same time, but helping the world when you are in trouble, your highness is powerless to save the country, can't you keep yourself clean? As a long history, Shi Zhuan must not watch your highness go astray and ruin his reputation!"

He stood up abruptly, opened his arms to block the door, and shouted at Zhu Di, "Yan Ni, you don't want to enter my Prince Ning's mansion for half a step!"

Zhu Di was furious, pointed his halberd and shouted: "Traitors like you, my Zhu Ming royal family was in a situation of fratricide because of you bastards talking about righteousness and alienating relatives. Today, the king wants to marry his brothers." See, how are you doing?"

Shi Zhuan puffed up his chest, and said righteously: "Shi Zhuan is the chief history of Ning Wangfu, and we must not allow my king to bear the name of rebellion. If you want to enter the palace, you must step on my dead body!"

There was a great general Qiu Fu beside King Yan, who was accompanying him in iron armor. Hearing this, he shouted, "As you wish!"

Leaping forward, he leaped up, in mid-air, with the long saber at his waist out of its sheath, just as a choking sound was heard, a beam of cold light swirled in the air, and only a "poof" sound was heard, The light of blood rose into the night, scaring all the female relatives behind King Ning so pale, they all exclaimed, Shi Zhuan's big head fell to the ground with a bang, and rolled down the steps.

Zhu Di smiled lightly and said, "Although you are stupid, you are commendable for being loyal, and this king will fulfill you!"

Shi Zhuan's corpse fell on the steps, with blood gurgling out, winding down the stone steps, Zhu Di lifted his robe and stepped on the blood up the steps, and when he came to Shi Zhuan's corpse, his blood-stained feet were completely gone. He stepped on his dead body without hesitation, and he said "unless you step on my dead body", King Yan did not walk on such a wide stone step, and he really stepped on his dead body.

The people in Prince Ning's mansion were not familiar with the character of King Yan, and even Zhu Quan didn't know the temperament of this fourth brother. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help being moved, only Shan Ning had a strange look in his eyes, and praised in his heart: "Such a person, Fang is called a hero!"

There are many beauties around King Ning, such as concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, not only Han beauties, but also Mongolian, Jurchen, Korean, and even Uyghur women in the Western Regions. , full of exotic customs, but King Yan didn't look sideways, he just stared at the Seventeenth Brother who had only met a few times.

When he arrived in front of Zhu Quan, Zhu Di opened his arms and said nothing, but his eyes were full of tears: "Seventeenth brother, in the past, when you and I met each other, they were all in the palace of the imperial capital, under the knees of the father, the queen and the queen, and the family was reunited. The treacherous ministers caused troubles, the brothers died and were imprisoned, the seventeenth brother was trapped in the palace and could not be free, and the fourth brother's Beiping mansion fell in a short time. This step field!"

When Zhu Quan was told by him, it touched the pain in his heart, thinking of the days when he was frightened, he couldn't help crying, the two brothers hugged each other and cried...

"My lord, shall we... take these things to stop the enemy soldiers?"

Sai Hazhi patted his bulging stomach and asked Xia Xun.

In his arms, there are many letters, the two most important letters are written by King Yan and King Ning respectively. In addition, they found the family members of those generals who held important positions according to the roster in the treasury of the capital of Ning. Letters written by them.Chen Heng sent people to Daning and told Zhu Jian that he would be there in a few days, so King Yan immediately sent people to meet him.

The three people in this group are Xia Xun, Sai Hazhi and Xu Jiang.Xu Jiang opened the city gate to let the Yan army enter the city, avoiding heavy casualties, and made great contributions. Now he has reached 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 also familiar with the flags and generals of the guards in Daning, so this time Fan left Daning with Xia Xun and Sai Hazhi to carry out a secret mission.

This season, the wind outside the pass is getting stronger and stronger. Not only does the wind carry a lot of dust and sand, but it is also very cold. Today's weather is cold and cold, and the air is a little humid. It looks like this winter's first snow is about to fall up.

Xia Xun rode on the horse, tightened the towel on his face again, and said, "Of course it won't stop!General Zhang Yu led the troops to the rear, and Duoyan Sanwei's reinforcements arrived soon. If the text is not good enough, then force will be used.Chen Heng had gone out to fight with His Royal Highness King Yan many times. King Yan was very familiar with him. King Ning might not care about Chen Heng, but he was still in awe of King Yan. Pass, and occupied Daning, he may not dare to invade..."

As soon as I said this, Xu Jiang, who was riding a horse more than a mile ahead, hurried back, and said in a slightly nervous voice: "My lord, the pioneers of Songting Pass have arrived!"

After Chen Heng and Liu Zhen made arrangements for the passes along the border, they successively mobilized troops from various places. It was not until today that they were ready to increase their troops to Daning.Since the King of Yan passed through Liujiakou secretly, and there was no beacon signal from the pass along the border, Chen Heng did not know that Daning City had fallen into the hands of King Yan.

This vanguard was led by Chen Heng himself. Among the generals led by Chen Heng, there were three generals, namely the guard commander Xu Li, Chen Wen, and Bu Wan. These three were the generals of King Ning's three guards.Chen Heng brought them with him because he had his own considerations. He believed that King Yan was still inside the pass, and the biggest threat was still inside the pass. Therefore, Songting Pass could not be lost, and the troops guarding the pass must be absolutely reliable.

King Ning's three guards totaled only 9000 people, which was only a minority of the [-] army he led, and there were still [-] soldiers and horses from Zhu Jian in Daning City. There is nothing wrong with it, and Zhu Jian wrote to him that King Ning wanted to conspire with the three guards of Taining, Fuyu, and Duoyan to seize Daning City. Poor, most of the family members of King Ning's three guards are in Daning City. If Duoyan's three guards are really allowed to enter the city, no one can guarantee that their families will not be harmed. How can they not work hard to guard their own homes?

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 is a veteran, and he inherited his father's position at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a general in the Yuan army. At that time, he was a member of Wanhu in Yangzhou.In the Yuan Dynasty, there were 7000 troops in the tens of thousands of households, 5000 troops in the middle ten thousand households, and 3000 soldiers in the lower ten thousand households. In the ten thousand households, there was one Dalu Huachi, one ten thousand households, and one deputy ten thousand households. .Yangzhou Wanhu Mansion is Zhongwanhu Mansion, and he was the official of Wanhu Mansion in Yangzhou Wanhu Mansion at that time.

Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops in Haozhou, Chen Heng abandoned Yuan and returned to Zhu. He first served as Zhu Yuanzhang's Iron Armor Chief, and then he was promoted to a thousand households. Later, he followed General Lan Yu's northern expedition and was ordered to guard Dongchang. Meng Yuan's iron cavalry had tens of thousands of soldiers When the horses attacked, Chen Heng not only defended Yongchang firmly, but also turned the defense into an offense, sending out surprise troops to defeat the enemy.After that, he went out of the fortress with King Yan several times, made great achievements many times, and was promoted to the governor's office.

This old general has fought all his life and led soldiers all his life. How could King Ning and his three guard commanders be in his eyes?

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Heng reined in his mount and issued an order: "It's going to be late, pass the order down, set up camp on the spot, bury pots and cook food. Tomorrow morning, soldiers will be ordered to practice at [-] o'clock, and meals will be served at [-] o'clock. Keep going."

As soon as the military order was issued, the three armies immediately set up camp on the spot, set up camps and police posts, and smoke began to rise everywhere in the camp.

Xu Jiang, Xia Xun, and Sai Hazhi hid their horses in the distant forest, and lay down on a grassy slope to quietly observe the movement in the camp. In each camp, the banner of the commander was erected. If they were outsiders, they might not be able to According to the flags, confirm the generals in each camp, because some surnames are common surnames, and it is normal for two generals in the same army to have the same surname, such as Wang Liu, Li Zhao, etc., but there are relatively few people with the surname Bu. General Wei, there is only one commander with the surname Bu.

So Xu Jiang pointed and introduced to Xia Xun. When he pointed to a camp with the banner of "Bu", he suddenly said excitedly: "Please look, my lord, that camp must be one of the three guards of King Ning." This is where Bu Wanbu commanded."

"Ning Wang's third guard was also brought over by Chen Heng?"

Xia Xun was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and said: "Let's not go to see Chen Heng directly, let's go around to Bu Wan's camp, and see Bu Wan first!"
