Zhu Gaoxu brought Zhou Hu, Wang Bin, Wei Da and others to the front.

The person kneeling first was actually a young man. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was already a general bannerman.

His face is a bit childish, after all, he is still a high school student in later generations.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu never thought that he would be a high school student in later generations.

"What's your name?" Zhu Gaoxu asked the young man.

The young man turned his head and glanced at him: "tui" and spat into the river.

"Damn it." Wang Bin was furious. He pinched the young man's neck with his left hand and pushed it toward the river. He raised the knife with his right hand and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu. With Zhu Gaoxu's look, he immediately chopped it down.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to signal him not to worry, and then squatted down.

He squatted beside the young man and whispered slowly: "If a person is not afraid of death, I don't think any difficulty can stop him."

“Death can be heavier than Mount Tai, and it can be as light as a feather.”

"Two village chiefs are fighting. There is no need for you villagers to sacrifice their lives in vain. You die here with no name or surname. Future generations will not remember you."

The young man's face was expressionless, and he didn't know if he understood. However, the other deputy Qianhu who was kneeling next to the young man had a slight expression on his face.

"Surrender or not? Do you want to go with King Yan?" Wang Bin asked again.

The young man looked at the river coldly.

"Do it." Wang Bin raised his knife to chop.

"Give it to me." Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to stop him. Wang Bin was stunned for a moment and handed the knife to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Brother, don't be a soldier in the next life." Zhu Gaoxu thought silently in his heart, but he shouted loudly: "Those who don't surrender will die. It is Zhu Gaoxu who will kill you. Remember my name." After saying this, he slashed.

He stabbed the boy in the back, bang, and kicked him into the river.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the second kneeling man with a knife.

"The last general is willing to surrender and follow King Yan." The Qianhu said loudly.

"Very good, what's your name?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"Last General Yang Yun."

Zhu Gaoxu patted him on the shoulder and pulled him aside.

Then he asked again.

He asked one by one, but most of the people present still refused to surrender, especially those civil servants who seemed to be polite and polite, but they actually refused to surrender.

Thinking about it, some of those civil servants who were greedy for life and fearful of death had already escaped before the Yan army came.

Zhu Gaoxu picked them up, stabbed them in the back, and kicked them into the river.

In the end, eight people were willing to surrender, probably because they were moved by Zhu Gaoxu's words.

Chen Wen waited for him to take down more than a hundred people. After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu's sword was damaged and he used a third sword.

He walked up quietly, following Zhu Gaoxu, who was panting from exhaustion, and suddenly whispered: "These people may not all die. If they survive, I should be grateful to His Highness for sparing his life."

Then he hesitated to speak, probably because he felt that Zhu Gaoxu was too kind. On the battlefield, it was life and death, so there was no need for the kindness of a woman. Moreover, if King Yan knew about this, he didn't know what he would think.

Zhu Gaoxu remained silent, thinking that maybe they would hate me even more because I stabbed them. However, he still chose to do this, because if there is a person who is lucky enough to survive, he will be an enemy or a friend in the future.

indefinite.

When he walked to a deserted place, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the river in the distance: "My father actually tried to win over you last time, but you refused. Wouldn't it be a pity? My father will remember you." Zhu Gaoxu actually wanted to say.

, he is actually very stingy and will hold grudges in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu believed that the King of Yan, Zhu Di, was very narrow-minded and was determined to retaliate. All the Southern generals who had caused him trouble during the Jing Rebellion in history were eliminated one by one, and none of them were spared. Each one died more miserably than the last, and those who refused to surrender

Not to mention civil servants.

Chen Wen said in a deep voice: "A loyal minister will not serve the two masters, not to mention that Your Highness saved my father's life."

"Without Your Highness, Chen Wen would still be a robber in the mountains and valleys--" At this point, Chen Wen's eyes flashed and he suddenly lowered his voice.

"In this world, if King Yan can sit down, why can't His Highness?"

"Damn it." Zhu Gaoxu's face darkened, he was shocked and angry, and scolded: "Father, a big event is about to happen. We must work together as one. I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. If you talk nonsense again in the future, I will

When you are trying to create discord, you will never be polite."

"The general realized he was wrong." Chen Wen immediately lowered his head and said, but the expression on his face was disapproving. As a person around him, he could always guess what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to do.

In the battle of Huailai, the King of Yan won a complete victory, and the Yan army became more prestigious. The nearby Kaiping, Longmen, Shanggu, Yunzhong, and Yongping surrendered one after another.

Because it was too close to Huailai, on the 24th, Zhu Su, the king of the valley, fled the Xuanfu of his fiefdom and went straight to the capital.

Song Zhong's troops retreated to Datong with Chen Zhi and his troops. King Dai wanted to echo King Yan, but was controlled by Chen Zhi.

In this great wave of surrender, many nobles from the time of Emperor Chengzu appeared at this time.

Yongping, Huizhou guards Guo Liang, Zhao Yi and Chen Xu all fought with King Yan. Zhao Yi was once the right guard of Yanshan Baihu. The three surrendered immediately and offered Yongping and Huizhou.

Yongping is a very important place, just behind Shanhaiguan.

Geng Bingwen, the brother-in-law of Emperor Jianwen and the son of Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen, was stationed at Shanhaiguan. In order to prevent Geng Bing from attacking, the King of Yan sent Wang Zhen, his confidant from hundreds of households, to cooperate with Guo Liang to defend Yongping and block Geng Bing.

In addition, Kaiping guard Xu Zhong, Xuanfu general Li Bin and others came to vote.

Among these people, Xu Zhong and Li Bin were both talented generals. They had been fighting against the Mongols all year round, and their subordinates were extremely elite. Xu Zhong's troops were even more invincible.

King Yan was overjoyed after the incident and praised him privately. Among the generals who could stand alone and fight against one side, Xu Zhong and Li Bin were the only ones.

It can be seen that the King of Yan still has some skills. Several of his close confidants, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Huo Zhen, and Tan Yuan are all fierce generals. They are willing to fight without their lives and can charge into battle.

But it is impossible to lead an army alone to fight.

Facts have proved that if these people lead the army alone, they will have poor results.

Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu later died in the battle, and Zhu Neng did not lead the army in a tough battle alone.

Therefore, in the early and middle periods of the Jingnan period, Xu Zhong, Li Bin, Li Yuan and other generals made many contributions, either defending one side or leading an army.

But he couldn't stand it, and when he was finally rewarded, he was far inferior to close associates like Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu.

Therefore, you have to be the first to do anything, even if it is a rebellion, you have to follow immediately. It is definitely not as good as giving someone timely assistance to add icing on the cake.

After all these generals surrendered, there were no officers and soldiers around Peiping except for the soldiers and horses of Daning Xingdu Division and the people of Shanhaiguan.

Local civil servants either surrendered or fled, and King Zhu Di of Yan suddenly became rich, and he had many soldiers and generals.

The history books of later generations focused on Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and other confidants, but they did not know that Zhu Di had already gathered all the famous generals in the northern Ming Dynasty under his command.

Generals such as Li Bin, Xu Zhong, Guo Liang, and Li Yuan who later surrendered were not as capable of commanding troops as those of Sheng Yong, Ping An, Qu Neng, or even Xu Huizu of the Southern Army.

It's just that they were either not Zhu Di's confidants at the time, or they had low official positions, so they didn't leave much writing about the Jingnan Campaign.
