The palace door opened with a rumble, and the cornices and brackets of the Carrying Hall were faintly visible from above the palace walls. Then, the palace doors opened one after another. Ning Wang Zhu Quan stood under the palace door, looking at Zhu Di on the horse, and bowed in the distance, but did not step forward.
Half a step out of the palace gate, his expression was very complicated.
Zhu Di laughed secretly: "This seventeenth brother..."
Remembering what Xia Xun had revealed to him about Prince Ning's feelings, Zhu Di shook his head secretly, turned over and dismounted, and went to greet Zhu Quan. Several armored guards immediately followed behind him.
"Your Highness, we cannot welcome Yan Ni into the palace!"
A man suddenly came out of the diagonal stab, and cried to King Ning Zhu Quan and said: "Your Highness, Yan Ni's rebellious officials and traitors are punished by everyone. Your Highness does not eliminate traitors for the country, why should you welcome him into the palace? Brotherly love
, is it greater than the righteousness of the king and his ministers?"
"Eh? Who is this shameless person who has the nerve to say such shameless nonsense!"
Zhu Quan was furious when he heard this. Do you think he was happy to be in this situation? A good king outside the Great Wall should be free and easy. The emperor said, the military power will be reduced, and the welfare of the three guards will also be given.
He wants to live a good life guarding a palace. The emperor also thinks that he is an eyesore. Now that King Yan's soldiers have entered Daning City, they have to hand over the army they have recruited. All they plan is to keep their own.
It's nothing more than life and wealth. If he had to, what would Zhu Quan do?
Zhu Quan took a closer look and saw that it was Shi Shi, the chief minister of the palace. Zhu Di did not expect the complications and couldn't help but stop at the foot of the steps. Everyone looked curiously at this old Shi who was not afraid of death.
Neither Prince Ning nor the main concubine said anything, but the concubine Shan Ning couldn't help but sneered: "Shi Changshi, His Highness Prince Ning originally had an army of 80,000 people. Unfortunately, the military power is no longer in his hands. What do you want His Highness to do for you?"
Is the country going to eliminate traitors?"
Shi Zhuan said sternly: "My queen, please shut up. It's not your turn as a woman to speak about national affairs!"
After Shi Zhuan finished speaking, he said proudly to Zhu Quan: "Your Highness has no soldiers and horses in his hands, but he still has an iron rod, a man's body of seven feet, and the blood of a hero!"
Zhu Quan laughed angrily: "Does Shi Changshi mean to ask me to hold an iron rod against the enemy's four emperors and their tens of thousands of cavalry?"
Shi Zhuan said: "Even if you cannot resist the enemy, Your Highness should close the palace doors tightly and not rebel against the imperial court to make peace. If you are so afraid of the power of Yan's rebel troops and open the palace doors to welcome them, where do you put yourself?"
Zhu Quan said sadly: "Master Chang Shi, where do you think this king puts himself today?"
Shi Zhuan said: "Yan Ni is hypocritically benevolent and righteous. Since he keeps saying that he wants to punish the evildoers and clear the emperor's side, then His Highness just closes the palace door tightly and refuses to see him. I understand that Yan Ni will not dare to destroy his promise, brazenly break into the palace and hurt His Highness. Da Ze
You can help the world, but you have to be alone when you are in trouble. Your Highness is unable to save the country, so why not clean yourself up? Shi Zhuan is a long-time historian, and he must not watch His Highness go astray and lose his reputation!"
He stood up suddenly, opened his arms to block the door, and shouted at Zhu Di: "Yan Ni, don't even think about entering Prince Ning's palace!"
Zhu Di was furious, pointed his halberd and shouted: "You are such a traitor. It was only because of you bastards that you bastards talked nonsense about your righteousness and separated us from each other, and we ended up in a fratricidal situation. Today, our king is going to fight with his own brother."
See you, how are you doing?"
Shi Zhuan puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "Shi Zhuan is the chief historian of Prince Ning's palace. He cannot allow my king to bear the name of rebellion. If you want to enter the palace, you must step on my Shi Zhuan's corpse!"
King Yan was accompanied by a general named Qiu Fu, who was wearing iron armor and accompanying him. When he heard this, he shouted: "As you wish!"
He jumped up with a lunge. He was in mid-air, with the long knife at his waist already unsheathed. Just as a cry was heard, a streak of cold light appeared in the air, and there was a "pop" sound.
The bloody light shot up into the night, frightening all the female relatives behind King Ning to death. They all exclaimed, and the big head of Shizhuan suddenly fell to the ground and rolled down the steps.
Zhu Di smiled faintly and said: "Although you are stupid, your loyalty is commendable, and I will help you!"
Shi Zhuan's corpse fell on the steps, and a gush of blood flowed out, winding down the stone steps. As soon as Zhu Di lifted up his robe, he stepped on the blood and climbed up the steps. When he arrived in front of Shi Zhuan's corpse, his feet were stained with blood.
Without hesitation, he stepped on his corpse and said, "Unless you step on my corpse." King Yan refused to walk up the wide stone steps, so he stepped on his corpse.
Everyone in Prince Ning's palace was not familiar with Prince Yan, and even Zhu Quan didn't know much about the fourth brother's temperament. Everyone was moved when they saw this scene. Only Shan Ning's eyes were filled with wonder, and he praised in his heart: "Such a person,
You are called a hero!"
Among the women around King Ning, there are many beauties, including princesses, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, and concubines. There are not only Han beauties, but also Mongolian, Jurchen, Korean, and even Uighur women from the Western Regions, all of them are charming and charming.
, full of exotic amorous feelings, but King Yan did not look away, just staring at the seventeenth brother who had only met a few times.
When he arrived in front of Zhu Quan, Zhu Di opened his arms, without saying a word, but with tears in his eyes: "Seventeenth brother, in the past, when my brother and I met, we always met in the palace of the Imperial Palace, with our father, the emperor and our mother at our knees, and our families reunited happily.
, now the treacherous minister is causing trouble, the brothers are dead and imprisoned, the seventeenth brother is trapped in the palace and cannot be free, the fourth brother's Beiping mansion will soon fall, and the life and death of the family members are uncertain. Unexpectedly, the father's bones are not cold, and the clan relatives are unexpectedly
Falling into this situation!"
Zhu Quan's words touched a painful part of his heart. Thinking of his frightened days, he couldn't help but burst into tears. The two brothers hugged each other and cried...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Sir, let's... just bring these things to stop the enemy soldiers?"
Sehazhi patted his bulging belly and asked Xia Xun.
In his arms, there were many letters, the two most important of which were written by King Yan and King Ning respectively. In addition, they found the family members of military generals who held important positions according to the roster in the treasury of Ningdu.
Family letters written by them. Chen Heng sent someone to Daning and told Zhu Jian that he would be arriving soon, so King Yan immediately sent someone to greet him.
The three people in this group are Xia Xun, Sehazhi and Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang opened the city gate and let the Yan army enter the city, avoiding heavy casualties and making great contributions. Now he has reached the sky in one step and has been promoted to a hundred households by the King of Yan. He is familiar with the roads here.
At the same time, he was also familiar with the flags and generals of Daning's guards, so he left Daning with Xia Xun and Saihazhi this time to carry out a secret mission.
The wind outside the customs is getting stronger and stronger this season. Not only does the wind carry a lot of dust, but it is also very cold. The weather today is cold and cold, and the air is a bit humid. Look at it like this. The first snow this winter is about to fall.
Already.
Xia Xun rode on the horse, tightened the masked towel, and said: "Of course it doesn't stop! General Zhang Yu is leading his troops to the rear, and the reinforcements from Duoyan's three guards also arrived quickly. If Wen's can't do it, then we will have to
Use force. Chen Heng has accompanied His Royal Highness King Yan to the fortress many times. King Yan is very familiar with him. King Ning may not take Chen Heng in his eyes, but he is still in awe of King Yan. If he knows that King Yan
His Highness has already left seclusion and occupied Daning, so he may not dare to invade..."
Just as he said this, Xu Jiang, who had been riding more than a mile ahead, hurried back on horseback and said in a slightly nervous voice: "Sir, the pioneers of Songting Pass have arrived!"
After Chen Heng and Liu Zhen arranged the various passes along the border, they gradually mobilized troops and horses from various places. It was not until today that they were ready and began to increase troops to Daning. Since King Yan secretly passed through Liujiakou, no beacon signal was sent out at the pass along the border.
, Chen Heng still didn’t know that Daning City had fallen into the hands of King Yan.
This vanguard force was personally led by Chen Heng. Among the generals led by Chen Heng were three generals, namely Wei Commander Xu Li, Chen Wen, and Bu Wan. These three people were the generals guarding King Ning. Chen Heng led them.
He had his own considerations. He believed that King Yan was still in the pass and the biggest threat was still in the pass. Therefore, Songting Pass could not be lost. The soldiers and horses guarding the pass must be absolutely reliable.
King Ning's three bodyguards total only 9,000 people, which is only a minority among the 30,000 troops he leads. Moreover, there are still Zhu Jian's 10,000 troops in Daning City. By then, the three bodyguards and these people will be under his eyes.
He couldn't afford to stir up trouble, and Zhu Jian wrote to him that King Ning wanted to marry Taining, Fuyu, and Duoyan to seize Daning City. Chen Heng knew that those tribal warriors were not good at attacking cities and had military discipline.
Too bad, most of the family members of the three guards of Ning Wang are in Daning City. If the three guards of Duoyan are really allowed to enter the city, no one can guarantee that their families will not be harmed. How can they not work hard to guard their home?
Of course, the most important reason is that Chen Heng is quite confident in himself and he is confident that he can control these generals. He is a veteran general. He inherited his father's position at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a general in the Yuan army. At that time, he
It is Wanhu in Yangzhou. In the Yuan Dynasty, the upper Wanhu Prefecture commanded 7,000 troops, the middle Wanhu Prefecture commanded 5,000 troops, and the lower Wanhu Prefecture commanded 3,000 troops. Among the Wanhu Prefectures, there was a name of Daru Huachi, and Wanhu Prefecture commanded 7,000 troops.
One, deputy Wanhu. Yangzhou Wanhu Prefecture is the Zhongwanhu Prefecture, and he was serving as Wanhu official in Yangzhou Wanhu Prefecture at that time.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops in Haozhou, and Chen Heng abandoned Yuan and returned to Zhu. He first served as Zhu Yuanzhang's armor commander, and then was promoted to a thousand households. Later, he accompanied General Lan Yu in the northern expedition and was ordered to guard Dongchang. The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry tens of thousands of soldiers
When the horse came to attack, Chen Heng not only firmly defended Yongchang, but also turned the defense into an attack and defeated the enemy with surprise troops. After that, he went to the fortress with King Yan several times, made many meritorious deeds, and was promoted to the governor Qian Shi.
This old general has been fighting for a lifetime and leading soldiers for a lifetime. How could Prince Ning, a young boy, and his three guards commanders, put him in his eyes?
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Heng reined in his mount and issued an order: "It's getting late. Send the order, set up camp on the spot, bury the pot and make rice. Tomorrow morning, at 2:00 a.m., the troops will be ordered to drill, and at 3:00 a.m., we will have dinner. We will set off at 4 o'clock.
Keep on your way."
After the military order was given, the three armies immediately set up camp on the spot, set up forts and police posts, and smoke began to rise everywhere in the camp.
Xu Jiang, Xia Xun, and Sehazhi hid their horses in the forest far away, lying on a grass slope and quietly observing the movements in the camp. In each camp, there was a banner of the commander. If you were an outsider, you might not be able to
Identify the generals in each camp based on the flags. Because some surnames are common surnames, it is normal for two generals in the same army to have the same surname, such as Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao. However, there are relatively few surnamed Bu. There are more than 20 Daning Dusi
There is only one Wei general named Bu.
So Xu Jiang pointed everywhere and introduced it to Xia Xun. When he pointed to a camp with a big flag with the word "Bu", he suddenly said excitedly: "Sir, please look, that camp must be among the three guards of King Ning."
This is where Bu Wanbu commanded."
"The three guards of King Ning were also brought here by Chen Heng?"
Xia Xun was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and said: "Let's not go directly to see Chen Heng. Let's go around to the Bu Wan camp and meet Bu Wan first!"
