The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 224

Seeing that Zhu Linmin nodded approvingly, Shi Lang continued: "Thus, although our army does not want to fight for a long time, Tang Ni is more anxious than us. If he is blocked in the city by these 'mere' 5000 people for more than a hundred days, no one will need him." Do it, and he will collapse!"

Zhen Zhen felt that what Shi Lang said was reasonable, and felt relieved, "What about the second?"

"A few days ago, Tang Ni sent troops out of the valley to stop our army. At that time, the lord deliberately ordered to avoid fighting, and detoured from Gutian to Tianxing Mansion, because he was worried that the enemy's spirit would be dampened in the First World War, so that they retreated to avoid the battle.

"And our army went around to show weakness and help the rebellious soldiers to show their arrogance, thus underestimating me. If I guessed correctly, my lord may plan to deploy near Tianxing Mansion to kill the enemy in one battle."

Shi Lang was excited, squinted his small eyes, and said: "This subordinate has another plan. My lord can show the queen mother's secret edict to the public. It is even more true that the king of Tang has betrayed his name. He will be like walking on charcoal in the court, so why worry about him coming out and asking for a war?" ?”

"It must not be like this!" The soft voice was still dozens of steps away, but it attracted everyone's ears. It was Mu Zhiqing, the daughter of the chieftain of the Mu clan.

Zhen Zhen immediately said reflexively: "The army is watching the enemy's formation, what is she doing here?"

When she turned her head, she saw Mu Zhiqing dismounted from the horse and bowed to Zhu Lin, "My daughter pays homage to His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

Ever since Zhu Linmi led the army to enter Tianxing Mansion eastward, Mu Zhiqing expected that Fujing would be in chaos, and she had no relatives in Fujian, and she was worried about Mu Jing who was still trapped in Tianxing Mansion, so she simply followed the dragon. Fellow guards.

Mu Zhiqing took a few steps closer and saluted Shi Lang and Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen let out a heavy "hum" in her heart, just cupped her hands casually and turned her head away.

Shi Lang returned the salute carefully, and asked again: "Just now Miss Caimu said 'must not', what do you mean?"

Mu Zhiqing lowered her eyes slightly, and then said to Zhu Lin: "Your Highness, the girl is actually here to talk about this matter."

Zhu Linmei smiled and nodded, "You mean the secret edict?"

"Your Majesty's lesson," she continued, "Secret edicts must never be made public, otherwise the empress dowager and even the emperor will be harmed!"

"You can talk nonsense!" Zhen Zhen muttered softly while looking into the distance.

Mu Zhiqing ignored her, and continued: "Your Highness's army is overwhelming, but Tang Wang dare not do anything different to the empress dowager and the emperor.

"Because His Highness is also a clan relative.

"But if the secret edict has been leaked, the king of Tang will decide to kill."

Zhu Linmi nodded again, "What Miss Mu said is true, and it will even hurt brother Mu Jing."

A touch of emotion flashed in Mu Zhiqing's eyes, and she bowed again: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. In this way, the little girl will not disturb the adults' military affairs."

After she got on the horse and left, Zhen Zhen nudged Shi Lang with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "What charade is she playing?"

But Shi Lang praised: "This wooden girl is really very strategic. I was negligent about this matter."

He caught a glimpse of Zhen Zhen's sullen expression, and hurriedly explained: "She just meant that His Highness is a member of the imperial family. This time when troops entered Tianxing Mansion, the King of Tang must suspect that His Highness wanted to get rid of him and stand on his own. If so, he would kill him." The Empress Dowager helped His Highness, but if the Queen Mother's secret decree was announced, the Tang King would know that His Highness came to help the Empress Dowager, or threatened His Highness with the Queen Mother's life.

"Furthermore, the secret edict is leaked. The king of Tang will definitely track down who brought the secret edict out of Tianxing Mansion. Miss Mu's elder brother has been out of the city before, so he will surely be doomed."

It turns out there are so many twists and turns.Zhen Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Mu Zhiqing's back, and muttered in his heart, why didn't I think of it?
Then another horse came galloping up, and when it got close, the handsome man in silver armor turned over and jumped off, gave a military salute to Zhu Linmi, and said in a loud voice: "Commander, all the subordinates are in their positions. The camp is loose and undefended, just waiting for the rebels to attack."

Zhu Linmi raised her hand to return the salute, and then patted the visitor on the shoulder, "Dumu has a heavy responsibility this time, thank you for your hard work. By the way, is there enough armor?"

Zheng Chenggong cupped his hands and said: "Everyone has a set of cotton armor, and the front row is equipped with scale armor."

"That's good!" Zhu Linmei nodded, and said again, "Luring the enemy is the most dangerous thing, and it shouldn't be entrusted to the people you recruited recently, but right now, only your department can do it..."

Originally, he was planning to let the infantry of the Dragon Guards come to lure the enemy, but after practicing it, he found that the Dragon Guards had turned the formation into muscle memory because of their high level of training.Therefore, when they pretend to escape, they will line up unconsciously, and it is easy to see the flaws.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong's newly recruited nearly a thousand rebels in his hometown became the only choice.

Zheng Chenggong said seriously: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will do my best!"

While the two were talking, Shi Lin said to Zhu Lin: "My lord, all the generals have arrived."

"Okay, let's have a full-army combat meeting first."

……

"Zhu Linmi, you bastard!" Zhang An tore up the post that the guard handed him, and threw it to the ground.

The Jietie described in detail that he was originally a bandit, and after recruiting Yang Tinglin for security, his bandit nature remained unchanged and he plundered with troops.Later, he was caught by King Chen, beheaded his subordinates who were causing trouble to the people, hung him up and whipped him fifty times in public, and sent him to Tianxing Mansion for questioning.

The most embarrassing thing in Zhang An's life was being whipped. It's fine for Zhu Linmi to shoot "rebellion essays" into the city with arrows all day long, but she still wants to attach such a post!It was like slapping him in the face naked!
Some time ago, he briefly showed his hand in front of the Tang king, and was worshiped as the captain of the imperial camp, and a lot of money was allocated for him to use.

Just when he reached the pinnacle of his life and was overjoyed, someone disgusted him with this matter, how could he not be angry?
"Damn it! I told you to put away all the things that were shot into the city and burn them. Why did you see this thing again in the west of the city?!"

The guard tremblingly said: "These posters are pasted on the wall...it must be done by people in the city..."

"Bastard! Check it out for me! Find out who did it, and I'll skin him!"

Before he finished speaking, another guard came into the room, but he didn't dare to raise his voice, and only whispered in Zhang An's ear.

"Wh-what?!" Zhang An kicked open the door as if seeing a red clothed bull, and shouted at the guards, "Prepare the horse!"

Auxiliary government palace.

"Your Highness, the enemy is leading the victory at Shanguan, and their morale is booming," Su Pin said with a bow, "The last general thinks that he should stick to it to drain his vigor..."

"What are you guarding?!" Zhang An entered the door and saluted Zhu Yu'ao, staring at Su Pin and said, "There are more than 5000 rebels, scaring you to huddle in the city with more than [-] people!"

He cupped his hands again and said to Zhu Yu'ao: "Your Highness, we must not wait any longer! The rebels have often brought cannons with them in previous battles, but this time they arrived in a hurry from Shaowu, and their supplies should still be on the way. Hold on and wait for the cannons to arrive. It's not easy to fight!"

Zhu Yu'ao squinted at Su Pin, but praised Zhang An: "General Zhang's words are true, this military formation depends on your deployment."

In fact, most of Qingliu asked for leave when he went to court recently, and even his own faction was missing several people. For a while, the court was empty and quite cold.
