Chapter 191 I don’t want to be Li Yuan

Although the Yan army was on the offensive in the first four months of the fourth year of Jianwen, both sides had victories and defeats in the early stage, and the victories were small. It was not until the battle between Xiaohe and Qimeishan that the southern army won a great victory, killing many of the Yan army.

General, the Yan army suffered heavy losses.

At this time, King Yan finally thought of Zhu Gaoxu.

Especially during the Battle of Xiaohe, Ping An rushed from left to right, and no one was his opponent. King Yan's confidant Wang Zhen and general Zhu Rong were beheaded one after another, and even he was almost killed. King Yan finally knew that the brave generals, at critical moments,

It still has some effect.

In fact, as early as April 16, when the Yan army defeated two generals, Wang Zhen and Zhu Rong, and was almost killed by Ping An, King Yan had already decided to transfer Zhu Gaoxu over.

After receiving the order in Peiping, Zhu Gaoxu immediately gathered his troops and reorganized his troops. On April 19, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to set off.

This time was the longest period of rest he had at home after the Battle of Jingnan. When he went to war again, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, he was good at adjusting himself. After riding to the military camp and joining his subordinates, he was the same as before.

The invincible Zhu Gaoxu seems to be back again.

For this expedition, he gathered a total of 4,272 men from four battalions, all of whom were cavalry, and many sentry cavalry and officers and generals had double cavalry.

As for the number of bows and arrows, some people brought three or four bows.

Zhu Gaoxu himself is also a man with two horses.

"King Gaoyang."

Many people around nodded secretly. When King Yan Zhu Di saw it, he knew that he could not use force. He had mixed feelings in his heart and suddenly missed Zhu Gaoxu very much.

"But I have a request. If my father can break into the capital, I can promise you something."

He hurriedly said: "The generals are not disloyal, and each of them has different wisdom. However, after thinking about it, I finally take General Zhu's words as the correct one. For the current plan, I just pray for quick thinking to defeat the enemy."

King Yan's face showed joy, you just understand.

He looked up and saw the people standing on the right, and suddenly he had something to worry about.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu standing on the right, Xu Zhong and Li Bin looked at each other and quickly stood on the right. Then Li Xian and several vassals also stood over.

If he hadn't known about King Yan's virtue, Zhu Gaoxu would have thanked his eight generations of ancestors.

What Zhu Neng said was so reasonable, but there was no reaction at the scene.

Among them, Li Bin, Xu Zhong, Li Xian, Meng Shan, and even the vassal generals Ahachu, Tuluhuqar, Azashili, Tabin Timur, etc. who were friends with Zhu Gaoxu were all looking at Zhu Gaoxu.

He also said, if we lose in the end, we will all be harmed by traitors and die faster.

This is something that King Yan Zhu Di cannot accept in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, did you know that he was his biological son? He wanted to say some kind words, but he didn't say it out.

At this time, this scene is very similar to the early Tang Dynasty. I, Zhu Di, do not want to be Li Yuan.

The three generals were very shocked at the time. Facts also proved that without Zhu Gaoxu this time, they would suffer another disastrous defeat just like the battle of Dongchang.

"King Gaoyang is here."

Phew, King Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart.

But something happened again that frightened him and made him unable to face it.

Suddenly someone outside shouted loudly: "Report, Your Majesty, the Prince of Gaoyang County has arrived."

But those who stand on the right side of King Yan are less than one-tenth who are willing to follow King Yan closely.

If Qimeishan and Xiaohe had fought, Gao Xu would have been there and they would have defeated Ping An, and their morale would not have been so low.

King Yan's face turned slightly red, and his heart heaved uncontrollably.

King Yan greeted Zhu Gaoxu calmly and greeted his son cordially. Only then did he realize that Zhu Gaoxu was going ahead with his horse, and his subordinates were still behind.

King Yan smiled again and patted Zhu Gaoxu hard: "If you enter the capital, Gao Xu can marry anyone he wants."

"This is what a son-in-law is and what a son-in-law should do." Zhu Gaoxu said quickly.

King Yan frowned secretly in his heart, but at the moment, he couldn't care about this and had to smile.

King Yan turned his anger into joy. After the generals dispersed, he immediately walked up to Zhu Gaoxu and once again grabbed his arms with both hands: "Gao Xu has risked his life this time and made great achievements. I don't know how to thank you."

"

"I knew that Gao Xu had returned safely. We will talk about the capital matter later." He said hello to Zhu Gao Xu in a low voice. He was very thick-skinned.

King Yan had been observing Zhu Gaoxu's expression, probably to see if he was sincere, and now he said again: "Your mother and concubine and I also quarreled over this matter. I should have gone there in person, how could I ask my biological son to take risks?"

.”

When Jingnan came, the Northern Army would definitely win the battles with Zhu Gaoxu. Without Zhu Gaoxu, the Northern Army would often suffer disastrous defeats. It is obvious that in the past few years, most of the generals in the army have recognized Zhu Gaoxu's abilities.

You must know that there are all generals above the commander-in-chief in the Northern Army formation at this time, and there are as many as fifty or sixty people.

After Zhu Gaoxu arrived, the Yan army finally unified their thinking and fought bloody battles to the end.

At this time, the Yellow River flows south from Xuzhou and merges into the Huaihe River. Therefore, a general just proposed: "Although the northern army is strong, it is only one side; the southern army is weak, all over the world, just recruit it. If the imperial status is still there, I may succeed for a while."

It’s not easy. It’s better to just go back north.

To maintain peace, cultivate elites, and then use them to fight again if there is a quarrel. If you don't try to estimate your power and fight hard, I'm afraid there will be losses, and it's not worth it." Probably seeing Xu Huizu's reinforcements arriving, the generals were afraid that they would not be able to finish the battle.

The Southern Army wanted to cross the Yellow River north.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Neng took the lead to stand to the left and said loudly: "Why do you generals say this! In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Xiang Yu fought for the world. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty lost seventy-two battles in a row. His ambition was not weak, so he fought

If you win, you will eventually have the world. Since your Majesty raised his army, he has not conquered just one place.

The defeat was not due to one person. From north to south, we attacked the city and fought all the way, and achieved many victories. But now, if there is an accidental setback, we will always talk about retreating? Let me ask you, do you want to return to Peiping, or stand on your own? Or do you want to fight against others in the north?

Anyone who speaks for this reason is either unwise or disloyal. Please beg the king to kill him quickly to warn everyone."

Damn your mother, Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself that I can rest assured, and quickly said: "Huang Ying can't die, I want to marry her."

The tent suddenly became noisy, completely different from the lifeless atmosphere just now.

This meaning is more obvious. The king is a man who understands the art of war and should know how to advance and retreat.

When he came to his senses, someone from the generals was already standing on the right.

King Yan once again tricked Zhu Gaoxu, he repeated it over and over again and will remember it in his heart.

"My son, I paid homage to my father and met all the generals."

As they headed south, they sent sentry cavalry to contact the Yan King's sentry cavalry behind them to inquire about the changes in the position of the main force of the Yan army.

Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate this time and immediately grasped the key point: "My father's decision to let his son come to the capital is also a clever move. Maybe we can end our peace campaign as soon as possible and enter the capital."

April 23, the Northern Army camp on the north side of Suishui River.

After the battle at Qimeishan, the Yan army was defeated and retreated to the north of Suishui River, temporarily relying on Suishui River to stabilize its position.

King Yan immediately did not hesitate: "Gao Xu said casually, as long as he can enter the capital, ten things can be done."

King Yan remained calm and continued: "Your eldest brother is physically inconvenient, and Gao Sui is young and inexperienced. I know I have wronged Gao Xu, but I will really remember Gao Xu's contribution."

During this expedition, two generals, Xu Zhong and Li Bin, asked for Zhu Gaoxu to be transferred. However, King Yan said at that time that Zhu Gaoxu was actually sent to the capital by me, but you cannot tell outsiders.

His biological son was sent to the capital just like this and was almost arrested. When his son came back and the war was going badly, he immediately called his son over. He was really useful as a chamber pot.

"This time I went to Beijing, Huang Zicheng's daughter Huang Ying helped me a lot. Without Huang Ying's help, I almost wouldn't have been able to come back."

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu, fully armored, marched into the camp.

Qiu Fu immediately joined Zhu Neng, and then Zhang Wu, Huo Zhen, Wang Cong, Liu Jiang and other close friends of King Yan stood on the right.

After that, Zhu Gaoxu stood to the right.

Early this morning, all the leaders were summoned to the Chinese army camp. When they came in, everyone looked unhappy and their morale was very low.

Zhu Gaoxu also saw a person who looked similar to Tan Yuan. Later he found out that it was Tan Yuan's younger brother Tan Qing.

At this moment, many people subconsciously looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

He looked around with his peripheral vision and found that after Zhu Gaoxu came in, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became lively. Many generals greeted Zhu Gaoxu enthusiastically. Everyone seemed to agree with Zhu Gaoxu's bravery and eagerly hoped for his arrival.

King Yan saw Zhu Gaoxu coming in, but he explained what had just happened, and then said: "Brothers who agree to cross the river, stand on the left. Brothers who are unwilling to cross the river and continue the bloody battle, stand on the right."

"General Zhu is right. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was defeated repeatedly in battles, but we can still win a decisive battle. The more we fight, the stronger we are. There is no reason to be inferior to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty? I support a bloody battle to the end."

"Quickly pass it on to me, Gao Xu." King Yan said excitedly.

King Yan's expression was condensed at first, and then he burst into laughter: "Huang Zicheng is a great talent, and I still want to reuse him. Don't worry, Gao Xu -"

"King Gaoyang."

Recently, the Yan army suffered heavy defeats and lost many troops and generals. Last night someone suggested that it would be better to cross the Yellow River north and come back another day.

After hearing this, the other generals had no choice but to lower their heads and slowly walk to the right.

Just when there was silence in the tent.

Even Zhang Wu, Huo Zhen and other generals from the noble family who did not like Zhu Gaoxu in the past also greeted Zhu Gaoxu one after another.

King Yan was immediately overjoyed, and many generals in the tent also showed joy.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know yet that King Yan Zhu Di had already regarded him as Li Er. He had just arrived at the scene and knew nothing about the battle situation here. He had just heard King Yan say that he wanted to take sides.

King Zhu Di of Yan was furious at that time, and just as he was about to explode, another person said: "Advance when you see an opportunity, retreat when you know the difficulty, this is the art of war. Your Majesty knows the art of war well, how can you do it by force?"

Since they started their troops at the end of last year, the Yan Army and the Southern Army have fought successively. In the first few months, they had a small victory or defeat, but recently they suffered heavy losses, especially the Qimeishan War, which was the biggest defeat this year. In addition,

Xu Huizu was reused by the emperor and brought reinforcements, so some people in the army had the idea of ​​​​retreating.

King Yan Zhu Di's face suddenly turned ugly.

Others who surrendered early, such as Chen Zhi, Chen Xu, He Shou, Xu Li, Mao Zheng, Fang Kuan, etc., were also watching Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu's face looked much better after receiving King Yan's assurance, but after he walked out of the camp, he was still thinking, don't believe King Yan's oath. Historical experience told him that what King Yan said was quite unreliable.

But I hope that King Yan will remember what he said today for the sake of his great achievements.

King Yan silently watched Zhu Gaoxu walk out of the tent, thinking to himself, it turns out that I, Gaoxu, still like beauties so much.

If a person has a preference, it will be easier to handle.
