The army left the capital in a mighty manner and headed straight for Le'an.
Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others were also among them. They vaguely understood the emperor's deep meaning, so even though they were shaken to pieces, no one complained.
Zhu Zhanji did not rush forward deliberately, but advanced unhurriedly.
He wanted to see who dared to act rashly.
The army marched for three consecutive days, and it turned out that not a single one dared to move.
Wherever he went, local states and counties immediately came to visit him and sent him supplies.
Zhu Zhanji was secretly proud: "Second uncle, second uncle, don't blame my nephew for being cruel, you brought it all on yourself."
…
Le'an.
Zhu Gaoxu was a little panicked. He received the news that Zhu Zhanji was sending troops.
He didn't expect that his eldest nephew would be so courageous and go into battle directly.
What made him even more unexpected was that none of the people in the court who said they wanted to help him secretly showed up, not even a reply.
Damn, what a bunch of bastards... Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth, but the matter was already here, and there was no point complaining anymore.
However, he did not completely lose his bearings. He firmly believed that he still had a chance.
Whatever the old man can do, I can do the same... Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were firm.
He summoned many of his sons, and then imitated the old man, drawing cakes one by one, and finally asked them to help contact Le'an Zhizhou, Qingzhou Guard Commander and others to prepare for a decisive battle with Zhu Zhanji!
Zhu Gaoxu is confident that in terms of fighting, he is definitely better than his eldest nephew.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if he comes, as long as you capture him, you will win directly." Zhu Gaoxu grinned, took out the sealed sword, and started sharpening it.
He was still humming a little tune in his mouth, and in a trance, the throne was right in front of him.
Zhu Gaoxu was so happy that he sharpened his knife even harder.
Boy, do you really think that after following the old man to Mobei a few times, you will know how to fight?
I have been in the army since I was a child, how can you, a young man, compare to me?
Zhu Gaoxu was secretly proud: eldest nephew, eldest nephew, don’t blame the second uncle for being cruel, you brought it all on yourself.
…
A few days passed, and many of Zhu Gaoxu's sons also rushed back.
"Father, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard said he is ill and cannot send troops."
"Father, Zhizhou Le'an is seriously ill and unable to provide assistance."
"Father, Qianhu Shengjian is also sick."
…
Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said angrily: "Mom, are you kidding me?"
"Father, what should we do now?" All the sons were frightened and almost cried.
Rebellion is no joke. Although we are from the same clan, how could the emperor be so lenient on such a major matter?
Once you fail, you will be doomed!
"A bunch of worthless things." Zhu Gaoxu scolded angrily: "We haven't even been attacked yet, and you are scared? You are so cowardly. If we leave Emperor Taizong alone, Taizong will have to skin you."
"Father, let alone Taizong, the current emperor will also skin his children!" Zhu Zhanyu said with a cry.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened angrily: "I haven't lost yet, why are you crying!?"
What is the difference between this and losing... Zhu Zhanyu said in his heart: There is no need to fight at all, there is no need to fight!
"Father, what should we do now?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Zhu Gaoxu scolded, "Don't make any noise, let me think carefully."
His less bright brain was working overload, and his face was filled with uncertainty: Where did the old man come from?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu finally remembered it, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"We stand strong and clear the country!"
"What's the use of strong walls and clear fields!" Princess Han came in with a gloomy face, "Le'an doesn't even have a city, so what can we use to defend it?"
Zhu Gaoxu's expression froze, and then he became angry: "You are deliberately causing trouble, right?"
"I'm telling the truth." Princess Han's face was cold. The whole line of King Han was about to burp, and she couldn't care about the rules. "You should go and apologize quickly. Maybe there is a chance of survival."
"Fart!" Zhu Gaoxu got angry, "Even if I die, I will not surrender."
"You are not afraid of death, but what about your son?" Princess Han was also angry, "If you want to die, don't drag them with you!"
"Presumptuous, presumptuous...!" Zhu Gaoxu was going crazy, "I just take you too seriously. Don't be arrogant. Do you believe that I will divorce you now?"
Princess Han was angry: "My lord, the situation is so urgent now, why are you still so stubborn?
You can't win at all, even if you stand strong and clear the country, you won't have time."
"I don't care. Even if I die, I, Zhu Gaoxu, must die in a dignified manner. Surrendering is a coward's act. How can it be done by a man?" Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "Don't be verbose, even if I am the only one, it will still be the same.
…”
"Bang——!"
Zhu Zhanyu made a sneak attack. Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and swallowed the next words.
"Concubine, what should we do now?"
The Princess of Han sighed bitterly: "Tie him up and wait for the emperor to arrive."
…
Seeing that he was about to advance into Le'an, but still saw no sign of rebellion, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but wonder: What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd by the second uncle?
Li Qing was also a little puzzled. Although the Han king was a bit naive, since he dared to rebel, he must have some capital, so how could he be undefended?
Is it because there is no city in Le'an?
Zhu Zhanji ordered the army to station in place, and then sent people to gather information.
That night, the spies returned and reported the truth about the situation in the Han Palace.
After Zhu Zhanji heard this, he was speechless: "What are you doing? How come his rebellion is like playing house?"
Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief. Anyway, it's good that it didn't cause any big trouble.
It would be best to be able to do this without spending a single soldier.
…
The army rested overnight and advanced into Le'an the next day.
The palace of the Han Dynasty was completely surrounded. Zhu Zhanji got off his horse and walked into the palace surrounded by a group of people.
Everyone in the palace was kneeling neatly.
"Where is Zhu Gaoxu?" Zhu Zhanji called him by his name.
"Back to the emperor, the King of Han is in the wing in the backyard." Princess Han explained in a trembling voice, "The King of Han has deeply realized his mistake and tied himself up."
Zhu Zhanji raised his chin and said, "Li Qing, go and bring him here."
"I obey." Li Qing cupped his hands and walked to Princess Han, "Please lead the way, Princess."
~
"Let me go, let me go if you have the guts, Li Qing, you damn thing didn't take away my money back then..." Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth dryly, but he couldn't say a single word, and he was so angry that veins popped out.
Li Qing said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, the King of Han has given the order to capture him."
Zhu Zhanji glanced sideways at Li Qing, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Zhu Gaoxu, why are you rebelling?"
"..." Zhu Gaoxu glared at Zhu Zhanji. Although he didn't say a word, judging from the shape of his mouth, what he said was definitely not a good thing.
Zhu Zhanji stretched his body and suddenly felt unmotivated.
So, he glanced at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian saw the emperor's signal and immediately stood up, but he did not understand what the emperor meant.
Li Qing stepped forward and whispered: "The Emperor wants you to scold the King of Han."
Is that so... Yu Qian nodded and came to the King of Han.
"What you have done now is abominable and makes me angry!" Yu Qian tried to curse.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened and he was about to explode with anger, but Zhu Zhanji was not satisfied, "Yu Qian, you were a Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle, do you only have this little ink?"
Yu Qian turned around and cupped his hands. When he turned around again, he was already possessed by trolls.
After all, he is a person who has done everything he can and has been a public official before, so he will naturally pinch people when he scolds them.
Yu Qian's lyrics were brand-new and his voice was resounding: "When you do this unjust thing, aren't you afraid of being struck by five thunderbolts and dying unjustly?
You are a brave scoundrel, not only disloyal, but also traitorous to your father. Are you kind?
You have no king and no father. Are you human? You are inhuman!
Is it better to observe your behavior than to watch a dolphin?
…”
Yu Qian's voice was like a loud bell, and the more he scolded, the louder he got.
Except for those who were not related to each other, all others who deserved to be scolded and those who could be scolded were scolded over and over again, making Zhu Gaoxu worse than a pig or a dog.
Zhu Gaoxu was angry. He was so angry that he couldn't move his body or speak, so he could only be scolded passively.
The veins on his forehead were exposed, his face was congested, and his whole body was trembling.
Yang Rong saw that Yu Qian had stolen the limelight, so he took the opportunity to speak loudly: "The King of Han fell to the ground, trembling and shuddering. He said that I will die for all my sins, and I will die for all my crimes, but it is your Majesty's order."
While talking, I took a small notebook and took notes.
Eh...yeah!
Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that his face turned red like a balloon exploding at any moment.
You are not such a bully!
Li Qing felt that it was too much to kill people with no more than a nod.
"puff……!"
Zhu Gaoxu spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and his red face instantly turned pale. Then, he tilted his head and fell unconscious.
