Chapter 176 Am I still your son?

King Yan Huode stood up from his seat and strode back and forth in front of the hall for a few times. He seemed to be quite anxious in his heart.

Everyone was waiting quietly, only Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, what on earth does King Yan want me to do?

If it is a military, it is impossible that there are no military generals here?

At this moment, King Yan spoke.

"I invite you all to come today. I have something very important to discuss with you."

Zhu Gaoxu thought, of course it is important, even all the generals are not here, but why did you call me?

King Yan continued, "We have been fighting in Jingnan for almost three years. The soldiers are very tired, and the territory is still so large. This winter, I would like to stop fighting and rest, and wait until spring to fight again."

However, Master Daoyan just told me that we cannot give the imperial court a chance to breathe. Although we are tired, the imperial court is even more tired. He even said: "Don't go to the city and rush to the capital. The capital is weak and must be attacked."

The imperial court not only mobilized soldiers, horses and food from all around, but also mobilized a large number of southern troops near the capital, and then lost them on the battlefield. Therefore, Yao Guangxiao believed that the capital was weak and could go straight to the capital.

Of course Zhu Gaoxu knew that this was what King Yan did in history, but he still had a look of shock on his face, as if he was surprised.

It can be seen that everyone usually talks about being fair and aboveboard, but when really encountering this kind of thing, they avoid it.

Come on, he didn't say a polite word and went downhill immediately.

But Zhu Gaoxu had just negotiated terms with King Yan. Without him, his troops and horses could not be moved.

"Gao Xu." King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu affectionately and said sternly: "After I go to the capital, I will take care of everything big and small in Peiping. If the internal affairs are not decided, you can ask Yan, and the military affairs will be directed to Li Bin and Xu Zhong."

, Zhu Neng and the others asked for advice."

Just like Zhang Bao in the Battle of Zhending, Geng Bingwen changed his strategy after just saying a few words. As a result, the Yan army was caught off guard and defeated miserably.

King Yan finally finished speaking. At this time, Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "Our people have come into contact with Li Jinglong."

And if it goes too long and the Confederate army ignores the capital and heads towards Peiping, our homes will be lost.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, if you don't want it, it will be in vain.

"No, Your Majesty."

King Yan immediately said again: "Only Yuan Yi knows about our detailed work in the capital."

But he knew that only he could do this. Since he had done it, of course he had to do it beautifully and avoid thankless work.

"Let's go back." He led his men all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.

After coming out of Prince Yan's Mansion, the soldiers outside have not dispersed yet, which proves that Prince Yan will soon mobilize troops again and is convening various ministries to discuss matters.

The cold wind blew against his face outside. Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at Prince Yan's Mansion: "tui" he spat before getting on his horse.

King Yan added that he was originally worried about the feasibility of this matter, but several eunuchs who had recently escaped from the capital also confirmed that there were not many soldiers and horses near the capital.

King Yan naturally agreed.

A few eunuchs came to the capital and just said a few words, and King Yan believed it?

This incident became a shadow in Li Jinglong's heart.

"Ah" Zhu Gaoxu looked surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Therefore, Yao Guangxiao and King Yan believed that Li Jinglong was someone they could win over.

At that time, Li Jinglong was like a lost dog, and everyone in the court wanted to kill him, but Zhu Yunwen was not determined to kill him.

It seems that many little people will change history inadvertently.

Then he called Mao Xin and Song Changlin and asked them to stand by at the county prince's mansion.

Everyone around him suddenly became anxious and started shouting.

"Plop!" Zhu Gaoxu knelt down directly, startling everyone around him.

This means asking him to leave immediately.

King Yan also agreed.

Damn it, am I your son? Zhu Gaoxu cursed in his heart.

It turns out that the little emperor didn't like eunuchs very much and rarely used eunuchs. The treatment of eunuchs was not good. Recently, some eunuchs in the palace accidentally made mistakes with their sons and were severely punished by the little emperor. In anger, they simply fled to the north and came here.

He complained and took refuge with King Yan.

"Father is our backbone. Anyone can be missing from Beiping City, but our father cannot be missing." Zhu Gaoxu said loudly: "Father, I would like to go to the capital to meet Li Jinglong."

But he knew that with how thick-skinned King Yan was, it would be useless for him to say anything, and he would have to go by himself in the end.

Zhu Gaoxu kept scolding his mother in his heart. You can let him charge into the battle. At least he may not be seriously injured while wearing armor. He is going to the capital. If he is discovered, it will really be a narrow escape, no, ten deaths.

"Absolutely not."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have time to seriously understand King Yan's ambitions, but the ancients were easy to fool him, so he confirmed it again.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses he trained so hard did not want to die on the battlefield in vain.

Zhu Gaoxu had a confused look on his face, as if he was listening attentively, but in fact he was already cursing in his heart. He had already guessed what King Yan wanted him to do.

King Yan said at this time: "What he means is to let us father and son talk about it? Only then will he believe it?"

"How can there be no King in Beiping?"

Presumably King Yan's expression at that time must have been very interesting.

Returning to the prince's palace, he immediately summoned the civil officials (most of the generals were in the military camp).

That bitch Li Jinglong surrendered so quickly?

"But Li Jinglong didn't believe it. He also said that the Holy Emperor was so kind to him and did not hold him accountable for the defeat."

"Yuan Yi, you take some silver and follow Gao Xu. In everything, follow Gao Xu's instructions." King Yan said immediately.

"Gao Xu." King Yan burst into tears, his eyes were red, and he hugged Zhu Gao Xu's shoulders tightly: "You go early and come back early, and pay attention to safety on the road."

In the afternoon, he went to the military camp again and told the generals that the King of Yan was going to use a small force against the Southern Army, and he would go out with the army, but this time you were all left behind to garrison Peiping to guard against the Southern Army's attack, because Sheng Yong had surrendered last time.

Ping An led his troops to sneak attack on Peiping.

Zhu Gaoxu really wanted to say this.

Now that the King of Yan is talking about this, Zhu Gaoxu will really be asking for his own death if he continues to act crazy and act like a fool.

King Yan said emotionally, with tears in his eyes, but he did not say any polite words. He was afraid that Zhu Gaoxu would regret it if he said too much. He immediately came over and patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder heavily, then held Zhu Gaoxu's arms and pulled Zhu Gaoxu away.

He stood up and said, "Going to the capital here is very dangerous. Gao Xu must be extremely careful."

Before the Battle of Jiahe, King Yan asked his subordinates to persuade Sheng Yong to surrender, but none of the generals were willing to go. Finally, he sent hundreds of households there, but was directly killed by Sheng Yong.

The next few people discussed some details, including the promise to Li Jinglong.

Then King Yan said again, the capital is in danger from the river, and it is an important city that the emperor has worked hard to manage. If we attack by force, we will lose many soldiers and horses. If we fail to attack by force, the world's soldiers and horses will gather around us. Whether we can escape smoothly is a matter of course.

question.

At the end of the sentence, he said loudly: "My son, I must do everything my father has told me to do beautifully."

King Yan finally said: "I studied with Li Jiujiang back then, and I know him best. This person can be our internal correspondent."

Therefore, when King Yan said this, his gentle eyes like a loving father swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on Zhu Gaoxu's face.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs." Zhu Gaoxu said: "The eldest brother is physically inconvenient, and the third brother is still young and inexperienced. No one is more suitable for this matter than my son. Please trust me, my father, I can do it."

If you come back from the capital once, you can come back twice, and your ministers can protect themselves."

Everyone stared at Zhu Gaoxu, and they must have been cursing in their hearts, why didn't you speak?

Zhu Gaoxu also stared at his father, King Yan Zhu Di, and suddenly thought, if I say now: "Okay, father, you can go in peace and leave all matters in Peking to your sons."

"That's all, I'll go." King Yan said seriously at this time: "As of now, only I can win Li Jinglong's trust by personally acting."

"To approach the capital directly, we cannot slow down, but the capital is difficult to defeat, so we must have internal responses--" King Yan continued.

He and Yuan Yi don't want to deal with each other, and does this count as - surveillance?

From the news they learned in the capital, Li Jinglong was defeated last time. Huang Zicheng, who recommended him, also betrayed him on the spot. He and Qi Tai demanded severe punishment for Li Jinglong.

Shi Ye Xixian wrote to Li Jinglong one after another, believing that Li Jinglong had "lost his law and lost his master and harbored evil intentions" and should be killed. Then Huang Zicheng was also filled with shame and anger, and requested that Li Jinglong be killed to thank the world.

Now that the imperial court was defeated again and again, Li Jinglong was very panicked. If the imperial court was defeated in the future, the young emperor Zhu Yunwen would be furious, and other ministers would still pursue the case and cause trouble for him.

Because Zhu Gaoxu was different from others in training troops and commanding battles, Li Xian's vassal cavalry suffered heavy losses when they were taken out by King Yan last time.

After King Yan heard about it, he finally made up his mind: "We have been using troops for many years, but when will it be over? We must fight on the river and never look back."

Zhu Gaoxu's expression was stunned, he did not expect that King Yan would send Yuan Yi.

".." Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had a soft heart, was tricked by King Yan again.

"Li Jinglong is hereditary and has a rich family. He should not be interested in money, but his son may want to bribe other people and use them."

Then he said that he was going to lead an army to fight in the near future, and of course he couldn't say that he was going to fight somewhere. You all did it step by step at home and gave you some instructions.

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to think about it and said: "My son and I will leave separately and we will meet again in the capital."

King Yan asked again: "What else does Gao Xu need? Manpower and money?"

King Yan's expression condensed, and then he slowly revealed a look of relief, and his voice became more loving: "Gao Xu."

Zhu Gaoxu cursed in his heart, what father and son? What father and son, why father and son?

Shu, Yuan Gong, Jin Zhong and others looked at Zhu Gaoxu at this time.

When returning to Peking, Zhu Gaoxu took Zhou Hu away from the camp.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu went to Prince Yan's Mansion again to prepare to say goodbye to Princess Xu.

There was no one at the gate of the palace. There were only two teams of guards. When a young general saw Zhu Gaoxu outside the door, his expression was not very good. After hesitating for a while, he still stepped forward: "Greetings to Prince Gaoyang." His expression was a little disgusted.

Qu Yu was also followed behind him.

Of course Zhu Gaoxu knew him. This was Tan Yuan's son Tan Zhong. After Tan Yuan's death, he took over his father's duties and now follows the crown prince. Depending on the situation, the crown prince is also here today.
