Chapter 394 Before the War(1/2)
Can such an operation still be possible?
Zhu Gaochi, who had his mouth open, couldn't help but open it even wider. He looked like he was ignorant and didn't expect anything at all.
As the eldest son of the Prince of Yan's Palace, he lives in Jiubian all year round and handles all matters of the Prince of Yan's Palace in the city of Beiping. How could Zhu Gaochi not know how much he contributed to guarding the city together with the soldiers and the people?
It's just that this time he didn't think about it.
The reason why such a farce happened today is entirely because the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not stay in Henan Province.
Thinking from a deeper perspective, Zhu Gaochi is not even nervous about whether Zhu Yunxi himself will have trouble in Kaifeng City. As a descendant of the clan, he should have the responsibility to defend the place with his subjects and resist the enemy.
It's just because the grandson of the emperor who was the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty can't have any trouble.
This is the foundation of the country, and it is something that everyone in the world has long known.
The three generations since the founding of the Ming Dynasty have been harmonious and harmonious. This is something that many emperors in the past dynasties have not dared to think about, and it has never happened before.
Zhu Gaochi simply didn't dare to think about what the old man could do if something happened to Zhu Yunxi in Kaifeng City.
Don't look at the fact that Liang Guogong Lan Yu is murderous in Henan Mansion and will not accept anyone who surrenders to the enemy.
If it were in the hands of the old man and I heard that something happened to the emperor's grandson in Kaifeng City, I am afraid that the entire Henan Province would be a river of blood, and even the whole world.
Zhu Gaochi sighed quietly, lowered his voice, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake: "I didn't take into account the reasons, and I didn't grasp the measure, which almost put you in a treacherous situation."
Things are like this, and I can't kill Xiaopang.
As long as there is no direct conflict of interest, the people of Lao Zhu's family are generally protective of their own shortcomings.
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and sighed: "I just didn't expect that the Marquis of Xiping was also involved. What did he think? He has been in Yunnan for many years, doesn't he still understand the reason?"
Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "I think that the Marquis of Xiping just doesn't want anything to happen to you. The merit he mentioned is just an excuse. Can he still not know which military merit is the highest in the military formation?
”
Zhu Gaochi asked back, and then he felt more and more why he was so confused this time.
Zhu Yunxi snorted twice and said nothing, but turned his eyes towards the direction of Qixian County, Kaifeng Prefecture. At this time, his father-in-law, Marquis Xiping, might have sent military and horse spies to come here to inquire about the whereabouts of himself and others.
.
When Zhu Gaochi told Xipinghou, Zhu Yunxi already understood most of it.
My old father-in-law is really afraid that something will happen to him. If anything happens to him, the women in Taisun's house will not be able to survive, and they will have no support in the future.
As for other reasons...
When there was news in Taisun's Mansion that Concubine Taisun was happy, Yingtian City had already heard about the Emperor's grandson.
People always have divergent and wonderful fantasies.
Even if it is something unprecedented, it is still in the imagination of many people.
"I won't settle accounts with you this time."
Zhu Yunxi said casually.
Zhu Shangbing whispered from the side: "Then what should we do now? We have been waiting for the rebels to get you out as soon as they arrive in Kaifeng.
This morning, I came to report that the rebels from Luoyang City have arrived in Zhongmou County, and I am afraid they have already passed Donghuzhuang.
Even if you want to go back to Kaifeng City now, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It's hard to say that rebels from all over the city have already surrounded Kaifeng City."
As Xiaohan spoke, his eyes secretly raised from time to time, observing the changes in the expression on Zhu Yunxi's face, looking a little nervous.
In fact, there is no room for Zhu Shangbing not to be nervous.
Today he was the first one to rush into Zhu Yunxi's house, hold down Zhu Yunxi who had just dressed and freshened up, and then led the others to hold him up all the way and secretly left the city.
If the idea came from Zhu Gaochi and Marquis Xiping, then it was Zhu Shangbing who started working directly.
Zhu Yunxi slightly squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Han, who was still in Kaifeng City a few days ago. He proposed to kill everyone and beheaded a person with a rolling head. At this moment, he was extremely nervous.
He sneered and hummed: "Now you know you are in trouble?"
Zhu Shangbing muttered: "This is all..."
"If Kaifeng City is really besieged at this moment, you will lead the charge, fight a bloody path for us, and rush into Kaifeng City!"
Zhu Yunxi directly decided Zhu Shangbing's future, and his eyes lightly swept over Xiaohan, who was already starting to regret it.
Zhu Shangbing shook his head and muttered: "If you charge, charge! Who else would I be in the city of Kaifeng!"
Prince Qin was unable to vent his irritability furiously.
Zhu Yunxi then looked at Zhang Hui, Tian Mai, and all the accompanying guards: "Get up, what happened today was also caused by your loyalty. I won't blame you, nor will I deal with it later. It's just that.
, but there will never be a next time.”
Zhang Hui, Tian Mai and others suddenly looked at each other with concentration.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Da da da.
Along with the responses from Zhang Hui, Tian Mai and others, there was a dense sound of horse hooves on the road leading to Qixian County in the distance.
The sound of horse hooves is like one wave after another, rushing towards the beach in an endless stream.
Knowing that they had done something wrong today, Zhang Hui and Tian Mai suddenly frowned, fearing that these were rebels and thieves coming from all over Henan Province. When they heard the dense sound of horse hooves, they both turned around and pulled out their weapons.
Knife and others stood in front of Zhu Yunxi.
After just one glance, Tian Mai turned around and said, "Your Highness, you are from the dismounted military camp under the command of the Marquis of Xiping."
Zhu Yunxi also looked ahead and saw a cavalry team of more than a thousand people, dragging a long team, with an array dozens of feet wide, heading towards him in a wild goose feather formation.
The entire team kept advancing at a constant speed. By the time Zhu Yunxi and others could hear the breathing of the horses, the Peking Army horse camp team under Mu Ying had slowly stopped.
A general carrying a red-tasseled spear left the Yanling formation on horseback, arrived in front of Zhang Hui and others, and then stood up and dismounted with the spear in hand.
The general took two steps forward with the gun in hand, holding the spear in his hand and stabbing the tail of the gun heavily into the ground. Others were already kneeling on the ground.
"The last general, Ma Hongqing, the commander of thousands of households in Ma Junying, meets His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."
"The last general has been ordered to welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun to command the 60,000 Beijing troops, suppress the rebellion in Henan Province, and eliminate the rebels and thieves who besieged Kaifeng City."
Zhu Shangbing stood next to Zhu Yunxi, stretched out his head to look at Ma Hongqing who was kneeling on the ground, then turned sideways and whispered: "I know this man, he is a fierce man in the Beijing army. But we met in the martial arts hall at that time.
Unexpectedly, he has already graduated and returned to the camp."
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Zhu Shangbing rolled his eyes and explained in a low voice: "It wasn't you who started the Cuju competition in the first place. He was affiliated to the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion at the time. He led the people from the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion several times and was defeated by the border troops.
, it is not a problem for one person to challenge five people. I also heard that after graduating from the martial arts hall, he would be assigned to the frontier army and returned to the Beiping Dusi. I just don’t know why he is here now."
Talking about one of the various gossips he got in the martial arts hall, Zhu Shangbing also showed curiosity. He was surprised that he could still meet acquaintances in Henan Road, and he was also surprised that Ma Hongqing had completely lost his temper after graduating from the martial arts hall.
Different destinations.
Zhu Yunxi had already said: "Get up. In front of the military formation, rebels and thieves are everywhere. Don't do such false courtesy anymore."
Ma Hongqing turned his spear sideways, clasped his hands together, and said in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders!"
After he finished speaking, he really stopped worrying about the false etiquette, stood up and straightened his waist.
Tiger's back, wasp's waist, and mantis' legs.
With just one glance, Zhu Yunxi could tell that the officer in front of him, who was in charge of thousands of households in the Ma Army Camp, must be, as Xiaohan said, someone who could stand up to five of his peers in the army.
He opened his mouth and said: "Now that you have arrived at the military camp with your horse, you will follow me back to Kaifeng City."
When Ma Hongqing came with his men, Zhu Yunxi saw hundreds of war horses hanging behind the team.
Come to think of it, these war horses are the horses that Zhang Hui and others said they had prepared on the road to Qixian County.
Ma Hongqing's expression was calm, without any fluctuations. Even though the orders he heard from Zhu Yunxi were completely different from the military orders he received when he led his troops out of the Chinese army camp. Ma Hongqing did not hesitate at all and directly held his hands.

"The end will be here."
In response, Ma Hongqing turned around and mounted his horse, pulled the reins, turned around and looked at the cavalry advancing behind him: "Entire battalion, reorganize, escort His Highness into Kaifeng City!"
Following Ma Hongqing's order, the thousands of cavalry began to change their formations on the spot.
A spindle appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi and others in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Tian Mai, Zhang Hui and others had already brought the extra war horses over. Knowing that they had made a mistake today, they became more respectful and cautious, leading the horses to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, please mount your horse."
Zhu Yunxi took the reins, stepped on the stirrups with his toes, and got on the horse as gracefully as a wild goose.
Ma Hongqing had already reached Zhu Yunxi with a gun, turned his head and said: "Your Highness, I will wait for you to escort His Highness into the city."
As soon as Ma Hongqing finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi found himself in the middle core position of the spindle.
The war horse under him also slowly stepped out with its hooves along with the surrounding war horses.
Zhu Yunxi looked up again and saw Ma Hongqing holding a spear and walking at the sharpest point at the front of the spindle.
