Jinyi Night Walk

Zhu Di's army left Jinan City and arrived in Yucheng, Shandong Province that day.

This city is between Dezhou and Jinan, and it has long been under Zhu Di's control. When the army arrived in Yucheng, the gates of the city were opened and they entered directly through the city.His main army retreated, so he didn't have to worry about Ping'an and Chen Hui's flanking forces. Ping'an and Chen Hui combined with other generals in the garrison were not inferior to him in terms of strength, but it was difficult to have all the troops as one without a general.

As for Sheng Yong and Tiepin in Jinan City, they might follow him all the way to take over the city, euphemistically calling it "Recovery", and maybe they will be besieged for three months. It's just an article, and he can't do anything about it if his mouth grows on others.

"Station sheep in Yucheng, and retreat with the king. There is no need to stay here." Zhu Di stood at the gate of the city, gave orders to the generals defending Yucheng, looked back, and sighed: "Those remnant soldiers and defeated generals will not wait for me." If the king is far away, the city gates dare not open, I am afraid Wenxuan will not be able to catch up for a while."

Zhu Gaoxu also has a good impression of Xia Xun, not only because Xia Xun rescued him from Jinling, but also because Xia Xun repeatedly used ingenious tricks and made many contributions to his father and son's great cause of Jingnan. In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, Xia Xun's contributions, His skills are not inferior to the uncles Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu who led the troops to fight head-on. Hearing this, he said: "Don't worry, Dad. Let's retreat, and Yang Xu's place will be safe. When he is free , I will come to meet my father."

Zhu Di nodded, lifted the reins and said, "Let's go to the city." After an hour's rest, the army continued on its way. ", Yucheng has long been under Zhu Di's control, and now the city is crowded with soldiers, and most of the people are shutting their doors tightly, for fear of causing trouble, and even the people walking on the streets are like huayu. Walking along the street. Fortunately, Zhu Di used his ministers to offend the emperor, and he did not take the lead in morals.” He was scolded by many Confucian scholars and literati. In order to win the hearts of the people, he strictly restrained military discipline. Although there are many", they have nothing to do with each other.

Zhu Di rode his horse into the city, and was about to find a place to rest and have lunch, when a person suddenly jumped out from among the passers-by on the side of the road, and grabbed his horse by the reins.The guards around the King of Yan were also careless, they never expected that the soldiers and horses of the King of Yan could not be seen all over the street, and these ordinary people are accustomed to fear and cowardice." Suddenly, a foolish and bold person ran out.

They only knew that this man was an assassin, and they were all so frightened that their souls sprang up. "When they drew out their sabers and surrounded them, they were already covered in cold sweat. Zhu Di was startled, and suddenly clenched his waist saber, but the man's next move" The actions of Zhu Di and his guards were stopped.

I saw that this man grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped the horse from advancing." Immediately, he knelt down and said loudly: "Ji Gang, all living beings in Linyi, is willing to follow your highness. The Qing emperor is on the side, punishing traitors, and serving the king on the saddle. Your Highness accepts! ", the guards all around had swords and guns at the same time, and they were about to poke more than a dozen transparent holes in this man. Hearing this, he stopped immediately. Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little surprised, and looked at the burly Shandong Confucian scholar kneeling down. , Surprised: "You... want to join me? ", no wonder Zhu Di was surprised, it was difficult for him to fight back, and the people who scolded him the most were scholars. They didn't care what Zhu Yunfen did to his uncles, they just said that he was the king, you were the minister, and if the king wanted the minister to die, he didn't deserve to die. You have to die, if you use your ministers to offend the emperor, it is a heinous crime, and it is a heinous crime. This double standard makes Zhu Di very depressed.

Since he started the army, most of the generals took the initiative to surrender, and most of the civil servants surrendered only when they were approaching the city.Famous scholars, who took the initiative to seek refuge when his future was uncertain, there was only one Yang Xu before, and Ji Gang was the second. For Zhu Di, who urgently needs to be recognized by scholars who have mastered the foundation of the world and the language of the mouthpiece, it is true. It is so rare.

Zhu Di's employment has always been based on his attachment, and he will only use it according to his ability and entrust him with important tasks.But Ji Gang was surprisingly bubbly, and as a famous scholar, he came to join him. Before that, there were too few people, so that Zhu Di, who had just passed the iron sales fraudulent surrender, was both happy and worried for a while, worrying about gains and losses. He was afraid that he would come here A spy between the lines.

Therefore, after receiving Ji Gang's confirmation and another generous speech, Zhu Di did not believe it, but said: "You said that you have practiced martial arts since childhood, and you are good at riding and shooting. In this king's army, the most brave men are lacking. You can Would you like to be my king's pawn, leading the horse and throwing the stirrup for my king?" Ji Gang was startled when he heard this, his character is unwilling to be lonely, but if he follows the right path, as a student who was expelled from the government school, he is It is difficult to develop, so he made up his mind to take a big gamble in the troubled times and bet his life's future on the King of Yan. If it is effective, everyone will reuse it, so he can immediately get a small official if he pays for himself. Unexpectedly, the King of Yan asked him to be a groom.

But Ji Gang has a sinister personality, and he is very decisive when he is sure of things. After feeling a little disappointed, he immediately realized that it was a rare opportunity to be by King Yan's side. As long as he is really capable, he will be promoted and reused one day , So he readily agreed and kowtowed.

Zhu Di smiled slightly, this person dared to risk his life to drive, dared to abandon the court and join him, his foresight and courage are extraordinary, if it proves that he is not a spy, it can be of great use.It's just this kind of thought, right now he naturally wouldn't talk to Ji Gang, so he said lightly: "Since that's the case, from now on, you are a member of my army, go!"

"Yes!"

With a promise, Ji Gang lifted up his robe and tucked it into his belt, rolled up his sleeves and made a short dress, took the reins of the horse, and became a groom happily, without any expression of shame or anger... …

Jinan city.

A few days after King Yan led his army to leave, the people who had fled the city came back in groups.

House construction The people near the city are the most unlucky. In order to defend the city, their houses and courtyards have been demolished to the ground. Seeing the ruins of their former residence, they couldn't help crying: Some people returned to their homes, and the walls were empty. Things are not people, nor do they think of those relatives who starved to death and did not make it to this day, and couldn't help crying; and those relatives who were left behind to guard the city were looking for only news of death, and no bones were left behind. Some fell to the ground and cried loudly on the spot; some found their surviving relatives, even though they had become crippled with no arms or legs, they couldn't help hugging each other and weeping with joy.

Crying for joy, crying for sorrow, the city of Jinan was filled with crying.

But in any case, the disaster finally passed.

The peace of the garrison Shanjiaqiao was the first to lead troops into Jinan City. He also brought a large amount of military supplies, grain, grass, wine and food. When he entered the city, he saw those crazy skeleton soldiers. He hurriedly released dozens of carts of grain and rice on the spot before going to see Sheng Yong and Tie Pin.Soon, Chen Hui, who also monitored the Yan army's movements the most closely, also got the news, and immediately led his troops to join them.

The Tianxin Pavilion on Daming Lake and the curved bridges on both sides are full of banquets.

Sheng Yong, Tie Pin, Gao Yong and others were beaming, King Zhu Di of Yan came back in defeat, Jinan City was finally defended, and everyone was celebrating.Among the people present, Mr. Cao was the only one who was always depressed because of the tragic death of his only son.

"The imperial decree has arrived..." When all the officials were cheering, the imperial decree from Zhu Yun's tomb was also rushed to Jinan by eight hundred miles.Ever since Li Jinglong returned to Beijing and reported his crimes against the army, the imperial court has stepped up its investigation of the situation in Shandong. As soon as there is news from here, it is immediately submitted to the capital by a military station express. It took only a few days to go back and forth. Zhu Yunfen was ecstatic.

The adults who were disgraced by Li Jinglong's incident also heaved a sigh of relief.

Don't think that people in the same camp are monolithic, how about Xiao He?How is Zhang Liang?In those novels with simple descriptions, it seems that civilians and military generals are all convinced and loved, but people's hearts are so simple. Liu Bang founded the country, and these two were able to become marquises. , forcing Liu Bang to come out again and again to explain and even suppress.

More recently, when we were founding the country and awarding honors, for who was superior and who was inferior, the military generals with great military exploits all had their own plans.Fang Huang and the others climbed to the sky in one step and climbed to the top of the crowd. Many people were not convinced.The imperial court suffered such a big defeat, whether it was a military general or a civil servant in the court, there were not a few fierce accusations against them. Now, because King Yan retreated and Jinan was protected, their political crisis was resolved.

Therefore, with their help, the imperial decree of Emperor Jianwen was promulgated in Jinan in the shortest possible time.

The imperial court really needs a great victory to boost the morale of the army.

Regardless of whether the King of Yan retreated on his own initiative or was driven out of Shandong, whether or not the city of Jinan was saved was considered a great victory, it was a great victory.

All the officials hurriedly put down their wine glasses, and stepped forward to receive the decree in full clothes. The eunuch spread the decree and proclaimed loudly: "The governor Sheng Yong, the Tiepin who participated in politics and the soldiers and civilians of Jinan have stood alone for more than three months. The soldiers work hard and work together... ..., immediately, the governor Sheng Yong was appointed as General Pingyan, he was granted the title of Marquis of Licheng, the commander-in-chief of the rebellious army, and Tiepin participated in politics and was promoted to be the envoy of Shandong Province.

"Thank you, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live...", ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"The city of Jinan is in a mess right now. Even if Ziqi finds us, she is looking for a needle in a haystack. If she wants to get in touch with her quickly, the only place we can go is Qingzhou. If Ziqi comes to the city to look for us, we won't be able to find us. She will definitely think that once you go out of the city, the only place to go is Qingzhou, where we will wait for her.", "Mmm! Mrs. Ziqi, sister...wouldn't have entered Jinan City just to find me? These three During the month of famine, Jinan is like a hell on earth, I am worried..."

"Don't worry, Ziqi's family has a relationship between black and white, and this girl is not a person who would rather starve to death than use her high-level skills. If she is really in the city, she will definitely not be short of food and hungry." die."

"Well! Then we should go in the direction of Zhangqiu. How can we get to Licheng?"

"It's just a small detour. There is an information station I set up in Licheng. I need to know how the things I arranged before entering the city are going. Even if I can't get away from King Yan to meet him, I still have to send a message. Just do it."

Xie Yuli secretly glanced at Xia Xun, blushed, and hesitantly said: "Mm! Mmm... Mr. Xiang..."

"Ok?"

Xie Yuli hurriedly shook his head again: "No...it's nothing...", "Yeah!", "What are you huh?" Xia Xun smiled a little badly: "Yeah, yes, what else do you think? ", Xie Yuli said eagerly: "Uh...uh...yes..."! ~!
