The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 488 The poisonous Channing
King Ning Zhu Chenhao sat on the imperial throne in the palace, listening to the report of Wang Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he felt very happy.

It's so fucking cool!The humiliation of King Ning's family being suppressed by the fifth generation was swept away at this moment.

Zhu Chenhao seemed to have seen the scene where he entered the capital and faced south to accept the officials Shan Huan live.

Now he has won Nanchang, conquered Jiujiang and Nankang one after another, and controlled the entire Jiangxi.

His army had already surrounded Anqing, and it was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed.

His ultimate goal is to conquer Nanjing, cut off Zhu Houzhao's retreat, and then catch the turtle in the urn, capture Zhu Houzhao alive and let him kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.

Although Zhu Chenhao has not won Nanjing now, he has changed the title of Zhengde and proclaimed himself emperor.

He appointed Li Shishi as Prime Minister of Zuo, Liu Yangzheng as Prime Minister of You, Wang Lun as Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Qian Ning as Commander of Jinyiwei, forming his own court team.

For this reason, Li Shishi also persuaded Zhu Chenhao, thinking that it would be unwise to proclaim himself emperor too early.

But Zhu Chenhao couldn't listen to him and persuade him, and under Qian Ning's instigation, he directly sealed off all the officials.

This King Ning even prepared a whole set of dragon robes, and he changed them in private many times. Li Shishi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Zhu Chenhao did everything he could, Li Shishi had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Zhu Chenhao to rebel.

He suggested going straight to Nanjing, but Zhu Chenhao was worried that this would be unsafe, so he decided to cross the Yangtze River to fight Anqing.Wait until Anqing is defeated before attacking Nanjing.

Liu Yangzheng was hesitant, and finally Zhu Chenhao made a decision to fight Anqing first!
Except for a small number of troops staying in Jiujiang, Jiankang, and Nanchang, most of the troops rushed to Anqing.

But this city is much more difficult than they imagined.

After three days of siege, there is still no sign of being able to conquer the city.

It's just that when Wang Lun's words came out of his mouth, it turned into a city that could be broken.No wonder Zhu Chenhao had a smile on his face.

"Wang Butang's words are wrong."

Li Shishi didn't want Zhu Chenhao to continue to immerse himself in fantasy and dreams, and said fiercely: "Now that Anqing has been defeated for a long time, the puppet dynasty's troops will soon be reinforced, and even if they want to retreat, they will be unable to withdraw!"

"Why withdraw? We can just besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, and eat the reinforcements!"

Wang Lun's beard trembled, and he raised the bar with Li Shishi.

"you!"

Li Shishi was so angry that he almost lost his breath, he ignored Wang Lun who was messing around, and turned to Zhu Chenhao.

"Your Majesty, reinforcements are rushing to Anqing at this moment, and the defense of Nanjing City is empty. As long as we rush to Nanjing, we will be able to take it down."

In Li Shishi's view, if King Ning wants to win the world and sit in the Dragon Court, Nanjing will be won sooner or later.

Since we have to fight early, and we have to fight late, it is better to fight earlier.

As long as Nanjing is taken down, the morale of the army will definitely increase.At that time, if you go northward to take down the capital with all your might, you will be able to become an emperor.

Even if you don't go in the direction of the capital, you can dominate Nanjing and rule by the river.

But if Nanjing cannot be taken down, the morale of the army will inevitably become more and more lax, and there is a possibility of being wiped out by the court at any time.

Rebellion is no joke, it's the head pinned to the waistband.Once it fails, the nine clans will be wiped out.

"Now that Anqing has been surrounded, you tell me to go to Yingtian Mansion instead? Prime Minister Li, you are not too confused, are you?"

Li Shishi's prepared words were all stuck in his throat for a moment.

How does this make him answer?

"Your Majesty, the old minister is dedicated to His Majesty. The loyalty of the old minister can be learned from heaven and earth!"

Zhu Chenhao's eyes were already red with war at this time, how could he listen to him and persuade him.He waved his hand and said, "I know Li Xiang's loyalty, but you don't have to talk about it all the time, do you? It doesn't bother you once, but it will be disgusting if you say it again and again."

Zhu Chenhao is not stupid, of course he knows that Li Shishi's loyalty is not a problem.

Those who can follow him to rebel have long been grasshoppers on the same rope with him.

But being loyal doesn't mean seeing the battle situation thoroughly.

No matter how difficult Anqing is, he must chew it down.Otherwise, if you really want to turn around and fight Nanjing, but fail to fight in the end, your morale will collapse.

Moreover, Zhu Chenhao felt that Nanjing could not be easier to fight than Anqing. After all, it was also the capital of the emperor Taizu, so there was no doubt about the strength of the city walls.

"Your Majesty, old minister, old minister"

Li Shishi almost collapsed, he turned to look at Liu Yangzheng, and sighed: "Brother Lianhe, hurry up and persuade Your Majesty."

Liu Yangzheng can be regarded as the more knowledgeable supporter of King Ning.

While twirling his beard, he said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is the best policy to attack Nanjing first."

Now the expression on Zhu Chenhao's face was a bit ugly.

He agrees with Wang Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, that is to gnaw at the hard bone of Anqing.

But the left and right prime ministers said that attacking Nanjing was the best choice.Doesn't that make him ugly!
The most important thing is that the differences of opinion are quite big and cannot be resolved easily.

Once people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to get back together.

"What do you think of Qian Qing?"

Seeing that Liu and Li were wearing a pair of trousers, Wang Lun naturally had to bring out a rescuer.

Qian Ning smiled slyly and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with attacking Anqing or Nanjing."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "The key is to lure Zhu Houzhao to enlist himself. As long as he enlists himself, we have a chance to capture him alive."

"Master Qian is joking, right? He has more troops than us, and he is stronger than us in terms of general ability. He can sit in the rear and oversee the battle. Why risk yourself?"

Li Shishi frowned.

"Haha, Li Xiang still doesn't know much about this ridiculous emperor."

Qian Ning's voice suddenly turned cold and said: "Based on Qian's understanding of him, he will definitely recruit himself. Not only will he personally recruit, but he will definitely lead the way."

"This"

Qian Ning's words made Li Shishi speechless.

After all, Qian Ning was once Zhengde's favorite minister, so he naturally knew his temperament very well.

If anyone in King Ning's formation dared to say this, it must be Qian Ning.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Zhu Chenhao's good mood disappeared with the quarrel between several ministers. He glanced at the four of them sullenly, and said coldly: "I think what Qian Qing said is the most reasonable. As the saying goes, when you shoot people, you shoot horses first. Capture the thief first and capture the king first. As long as Zhengde is captured, are you still afraid of others?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wang Lun's foolishness immediately fell to Qian Ning's side.

"Commander Qian will tell you how to capture Zhengde."

"It's very simple. Just sell a flaw and leave the back to him."

"Leave him the back?"

"Your Majesty can spread the news, saying that Nanchang's troops are empty. Then Zhengde is very competitive, and he will definitely lead his troops to Nanchang after hearing the news."

"However, Nanchang is really empty of troops."

Zhu Chenhao frowned and said: "If Zhengde really leads his elite troops to take Nanchang, even if I want to go back, it will be too late."

This time he broke the boat and brought almost all the main force out of Jiangxi, and the old nests were basically old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Your Majesty can arrange an army on the only way to Nanchang. Before Zhengde arrives in Nanchang, he can be captured!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Chenhao admired Qian Ning more and more.

"Tell me, where are you going to deploy this surprise soldier?"

Qian Ning pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said, "Please look, Your Majesty, our army is now besieging Anqing Mansion. If Zhengde wants to attack Nanchang, he will definitely bypass the main force of our army."

After a short pause, Qian Ning continued: "It is unlikely to come from the direction of Chizhou Prefecture. Zhengde is currently stationed in Hangzhou. If he dispatches troops, it is very likely to come from the direction of Suian."

"You mean that Zhengde will cross Ma Jinling and enter Le'an River via Wushui?"

Zhu Chenhao narrowed his eyes, staring closely at this water and land main road.

He has lived in Nanchang for a long time, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Nanchang and even the whole Jiangxi.

This is not because he is interested in this aspect, but because he is always thinking about rebellion.

A person who thinks about rebellion all the time will naturally look at maps all day long and study the methods of deploying troops.

Go west along the Le'an River all the way to Raozhou Prefecture.

Crossing Poyang Lake from Raozhou Mansion, you can travel all the way to Nanchang Mansion.

Zhu Chenhao's main force is hoarded in Jiujiang and Nankang to control Nanhuzui.

If Zhu Houzhao finds that Nanchang is empty, the most likely marching route is to go to Raozhou Prefecture and cross Poyang Lake to attack the rear.

"You mean, deploy soldiers in Wushui?"

Zhu Chenhao said while stroking his beard.

"No, it's the soldiers from Raozhou Prefecture."

Qian Ning said firmly.

"Why?"

Zhu Chenhao was slightly taken aback, and said in bewilderment.

"Wait until Zhu Houzhao arrives at Poyang Lake, will there still be time?"

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation."

Pointing to the map, Qian Ning said: "Since Zhu Houzhao wants to attack by surprise, he will naturally not bring too many soldiers. If our army deploys heavy troops in Wushui, then Zhu Houzhao can turn around and flee to Sui'an if he senses something is wrong. It's beyond the reach of the whip."

He swallowed a mouthful of spit, and continued: "So what your majesty has to do is to invite you into the urn. Since you want to sell him the flaw, you have to sell it like it, otherwise how could Zhu Houzhao be hooked?"

"Ah."

Zhu Chenhao tapped his fingers repeatedly, his expression fluctuating.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "You said that you will deploy troops at Poyang Lake, but what if Zhu Houzhao bypassed Poyang Lake and marched from the front line of Fuzhou Prefecture?"

Qian Ning shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, let me be a trustworthy minister once. This Zhu Houzhao will never go far away in order to be safe. His temper is the strongest, and this is also his biggest weakness."

"What do you love me think?"

Now there are only a few people Zhu Chenhao can count on to give advice.Prime Minister Zuo Li Shishi listened to Qian Ning's analysis and felt that there was some truth, but he felt something was wrong, so he shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to say anything, but at least it's better than besieging Anqing."

"you!"

Wang Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was furious. He pointed at Li Shishi and said sharply, "What do you mean? What's wrong with besieging Anqing!"

Zhu Chenhao pressed his hands down, coughed and said, "Now we are discussing the method of Commander Qian, why did you go back again?"

Zhu Chenhao set his eyes on Liu Yangzheng again.

Prime Minister Liu was a bit apprehensive, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and analyze: "This method is feasible, but it is too much of a gamble. It is good to win the gamble, and you can capture Zhengde alive. But if you lose the gamble, it is a waste of money." An army. Your Majesty is using the army now, and every soldier is very precious."

Prime Minister Liu's words obviously reached Zhu Chenhao's heart.

When he raised his army, he claimed to have 10 soldiers, but he knew in his heart that the total number of soldiers in his hands was less than [-], and almost half of them were in the north.

The siege of Anqing has reached the most critical time, and dividing troops at this time is a taboo for military strategists.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to issue a military order. If Zhengde does not attack Nanchang from Poyang Lake, so as to delay the military plan, please behead your majesty!"

At this moment, Qian Ning gritted his teeth in defense.

Since he was demoted from the capital by Zhu Houzhao, he has been resentful towards Zhu Houzhao.

He simply met King Ning, and they both hated Zhu Houzhao to the bone, so naturally they hit it off.

However, because Qian Ning was once Zhu Houzhao's favorite and not a direct descendant of King Ning, Zhu Chenhao was somewhat suspicious of Qian Ning.

Right now, Qian Ning urgently needs to let King Ning dispel his concerns about him.

"Okay! Now that Qian Qing has reached this point, if I don't agree again, it will be unreasonable."

A gleam flashed in Zhu Chenhao's eyes, and he said loudly, "Bring a pen and paper!"

Qian Ning's heart sank, and he thought that he really wanted me to issue a military order.

But the words that are spoken, the water that is poured out.At this moment, it was too late for Qian Ning to regret it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take the pen and paper from the attendant, and resolutely wrote the military order.

After a cup of tea, Qian Ningfang wrote the general's order.

He scanned it once, and then presented the general order to Zhu Chenhao.

After seeing it, Zhu Chenhao nodded frequently and said: "Okay, Qian Qing's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. Li Qing, Liu Qing, and Wang Qing should be witnesses."

Qian Ning thought to himself that this King Ning seems to be a mean and ungrateful master, and he is obviously not as good as Zhengde in terms of character.

If such a person becomes the emperor, he must be a cunning rabbit.

It's a pity that Qian Ning can't get off the boat at this moment, and can only hope that Zhu Chenhao will win all the way.

"Qian Qing thinks how many people should I send to ambush in Poyang?"

Qian Ning took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Three thousand is enough."

"Three thousand, you actually want 3000 people?"

Zhu Chenhao was furious.

"Do you know how tight the frontline battle is. At this time, you asked me to send 3000 people to Poyang Lake?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't stop, you will definitely suffer from chaos."

Qian Ning's voice was full of helplessness.

In fact, he also knows that now is the time when the battle situation is tense.But what if the Anqing mansion was besieged and captured with all its strength?
There are so many prefectures and counties in Daming, it's impossible to call them one by one, right?

As long as Yingtian Mansion or Shuntian Mansion are not taken down, there is no essential meaning.

"You make me think again!"

Zhu Chenhao just felt bored, got up and started walking with his hands behind his back.

After walking for nearly a hundred steps, Zhu Chenhao suddenly turned around and said, "You must assure me that Zhu Houzhao will personally lead the army to attack Nanchang."

"If Zhu Houzhao has not arrived, I will kill myself in front of Your Majesty."

Channing gritted his teeth and wept.
