In the temporary palace of the Emperor of Pengcheng Prefecture, Emperor Chengwu looked at the secret reports from various places and the memorial from Zhu Tianjiang. Even though Emperor Chengwu stayed at home, he had everything under his control. From the secret reports
It can be seen from the above that the capital controlled by the two families of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine E has basically surrendered to the new emperor Xuancan. Most of the other capitals are still under the control of Emperor Chengwu.
Emperor Chengwu looked at the memorial and saw that Emperor Chengwu had been losing weight day by day since his two sons rebelled.
Emperor Chengwu put down the memorial and frowned slightly, "Prince Jing is my biological sibling, and Feng Wanqiu actually used Yu'er to force him. I will definitely not be able to spare this woman." Emperor Chengwu said through gritted teeth.
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Zhan and Xuanzhu, and then said, "Zhu Tianjiang's technique of mixing fish with fish and pearls is really good, but I don't know what this guy is waiting for. Pengcheng's supply has bottomed out, and it will be terrible if this continues.
That’s not the way to go.”
"Father, my son and I have ordered Shutian and Zhongdu to quickly dispatch food and grass to the north. I believe we can still hold on for a while." Xuanzhu said cautiously.
Xuanzhu knew Zhu Tianjiang's plan very clearly, but Zhu Tianjiang warned him repeatedly not to tell Emperor Cheng Wu. Although Emperor Cheng Wu had discovered that Zhu Tianjiang was training soldiers and horses privately, the exact number of soldiers and horses that became Emperor Wu was unknown.
It’s not clear. In this situation, both Emperor Chengwu and Zhu Tianjiang are pretending to be confused. Emperor Chengwu needs to use Zhu Tianjiang’s ability to win the capital. At present, he can only pretend to know nothing about this sensitive moment.
.
Zhu Tianjiang was like a mirror in his heart. He knew that as soon as the war was over, Emperor Chengwu would definitely ask about the matter. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang also kept a backup plan and was prepared to take the initiative to 'confess' as soon as the war was over. Of course,
Zhu Daguan would not reveal all his troops. He could only expose one or two thousand people at most. This small number of troops does not constitute a threat to Dafeng, and Zhu Tianjiang's achievements should be able to hide it. But if he said that there were five or six thousand people,
The elite of Zhu Tianjiang is in his own hands, which is a threat to everyone. Emperor Chengwu can no longer withstand any blow after this change in the capital. Knowing that Zhu Tianjiang has so many soldiers and horses, he will definitely eliminate this hidden danger in advance.
.
"Xuanzhu, you have followed Zhu Tianliang for so long, so you should know his details. Tell father the truth, is this kid sure of taking over the capital?" Emperor Cheng Wu looked at Xuanzhu and asked.
"Yes, I absolutely believe in Zhu Tianjiang. Father, it is not unreasonable for Zhu Tianjiang to delay the siege. The soldiers and horses he leads are not strong in combat effectiveness. It is not easy to temporarily frighten Xuan Ming from leaving the city to fight.
"Taking this opportunity, I believe Zhu Tianjiang is seizing the opportunity to train his troops. When the time comes, this guy will never show mercy." Xuanzhu said confidently.
Emperor Chengwu looked at Xuanzhu, always feeling that his son was hiding something from him. However, Emperor Chengwu thought about it and felt that what Xuanzhu said made sense.
"You are right, the troops sent from heaven are just an illusion. This guy set up the camp twenty miles away, so that it can be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended, and it still makes the capital unclear about the reality. In terms of military strategy
, Zhu Tianjiang is indeed a talent. Even if I personally lead the army, I probably won't be able to be as stable as him. However, it will be extremely disadvantageous for me to rely on him like this." Emperor Cheng Wu began to worry about the public opinion of the world.
Wei Zhan held the broad sword and raised his eyes, "Your Majesty, if all the capitals in the world receive the three true and false imperial edicts, people will probably be in chaos. I think it is better to take this opportunity to start to control the capitals controlled by the Feng and E families.
Carry out a beheading, so that the waiting governors can see the situation clearly, and the only way to confront our emperor is to die." Wei Zhan said coldly.
Regardless of the fact that Sticky Rod is currently unable to enter the palace to assassinate the Queen and Xuan Can, but with the abilities of the two Qinglong guards, the probability of success in assassinating several governors is still very high.
Emperor Chengwu shook his head, "At this time, using assassination means that I am too stingy. Killing is not a means, what I want to kill is their heart, so that the people of the world will never dare to violate my will again. These
Nian I wanted to be a filial son, so I gave too much power to the harem and was too kind to the officials in the world. I originally thought that after the death of my mother, I could reorganize the court, but I didn't expect that my woman and son would live and die with me.
Enemy. Humph, do they really think that by taking the capital, they can secure the world? Humph, what a joke."
"Your Majesty, if we don't kill him as a warning to others, I'm afraid other capitals will not send troops to support Tiansheng. In that case, the war will probably be prolonged." Wei Zhan said silently.
Emperor Chengwu picked up Zhu Tianjiang's memorial on the desk, with a casual smile on his face, "This boy's memorial is full of confidence. Although it is full of absurdities and there is no truth, I can see that he is confident.
.”
Emperor Chengwu said as he put down the memorial, "Wei Zhan, have you sent out the secret decree I asked you to give to the Third Emperor's son Xuan Le?"
"Back to the emperor, it has been sent to Mu Qi."
Emperor Chengwu nodded, "I have always been very optimistic about Emperor Xuanle and told Mu Qi to order the ### guards in the capital to ensure Xuanle's safety."
As Emperor Chengwu spoke, he noticed that Xuanzhu's face was a little embarrassed. He smiled and continued, "Although I have given birth to two rebellious sons, fortunately, there are still two princes who are deeply interested in me. Prince Xuanzhu, you too
Excellent. I hope that no matter who takes the throne in the future, you or Xuan Le, they will be honest with each other like my father and your uncle Prince Jing."
Xuanzhu's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, Father, I will only obey the teachings."
Emperor Chengwu asked Xuanzhu to retreat. As soon as Xuanzhu left, Emperor Chengwu personally wrote a secret letter to Mrs. Guo. In this secret letter, Emperor Chengwu ordered Wei Zhan to tell Mu Qi that he would not surrender until the day of the decisive battle in the capital.
To Mrs. Guo.
Outside the capital, just as Zhu Tianjiang expected, King Jing went on a series of battles for more than half a month. In each battle, Zhu Tianjiang's side was killed and "fleeed". Although Xuanming knew that it was Zhu Tianjiang who
Jiang deliberately let the water go, and he was happy to just keep playing like this. Anyway, the longer the time went, the more disadvantageous it would be for Zhu Tianjiang and Emperor Chengwu. Everyone in the world was waiting and watching. Once Xuan Can took control of the capital, a kind of
It is a fact that cannot be changed. Moreover, Zhu Tianjiang cannot fight for a long time, which will also create a perception in the world that Emperor Chengwu is gone.
Xuan Can issued imperial edicts one after another. Regardless of whether they were recognized by the government or not, his edict must be conveyed. Zhu Daguan was not idle either. You issued it and I issued it. In addition, Zhu Er and Zhu San's Zhu Jiyin Tower was spread all over the country.
Spreading rumors in the capital made it unclear who was winning and who was losing.
After Zhu Tianjiang's army fought in turns, the soldiers finally showed improvement. Even though Zhu Tianjiang's side had lost more than 2,000 people in the past few days, their combat effectiveness had improved by more than one level.
During this time, Zhu Tianjiang gave Da Niu a special task. He asked Da Niu to take twenty fast riders to the surrounding counties to collect some special herbs. No matter how much the other pharmacy offered, he would buy them all as long as they were available.
.If the other party doesn’t sell, then grab it hard.
In the capital, after helping Xuan Ming in nine battles, Prince Jing was finally 'injured' by Zhu Yi and began to fall ill in bed to recuperate. Watching Zhu Tianjiang's men being chased by an army led by Gao Yong, Prince Jing felt uncomfortable.
According to the agreement between the two parties, after three battles, King Jing asked Tianjiang to send Da Niu to injure him with a stick. In that case, he would have an excuse to withdraw from the battle. However, Zhu Tianjiang delayed taking action, and in the end he let Zhu Yi
He gave him a sword. In fact, Zhu Tianjiang was helpless. That guy Daniu was neither light nor heavy. If Prince Jing was hit with a stick and became paralyzed, he would not even be able to cry.
The reason why Zhu Tianjiang asked Zhu Yi to 'injure' Prince Jing was because he felt that the time was almost up. Xuan Ming had already been dazzled by the 'victory'. Although he knew it was fake, this guy still rewarded the three armies lavishly in order to boost morale.
Promote warriors. The group of men trained by Zhu Si soon emerged on the battlefield. In battle, any general and leader likes to promote those who are brave and intelligent. Such brave men can not only improve morale, but also themselves on the battlefield.
guarantee of survival.
In Zhu Tianjiang's Chinese army tent, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others were all sitting there. Since King Jing was injured, the two sides had fought several more games. There were losses and wins in these games, and Zhu Tianjiang had really practiced a few times.
soldiers.
"Zhu Er, how many of the brothers who are lurking in the army in the capital have reached positions?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at Zhu Er and asked.
Zhu Er took out a piece of paper that had just been counted and said, "Sir, according to the latest secret report sent last night, there are currently forty-seven of our brothers who have been promoted to the rank of President Qian, and two of them have been promoted to the school's cavalry guards. The others
Wait, most of them are ten households and hundreds of households."
"Sir, can we have a big battle? If this continues, I will almost go crazy." Daniel followed.
Zhu Yi also looked at Zhu Tianjiang and said, "Sir, my subordinates also think that we can attack the city. At present, our food and grass are in short supply. His Highness Xuanzhu sent someone to send news, saying that half of the food and grass shipped by Shutian
We were hijacked by thieves on the road, probably because of the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing. There were only a few hundred soldiers and horses escorting the grain and grass, and they were no match for Zhuo Xing's group of thieves. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid the war situation will be unfavorable to us."
Zhu Tianjiang frowned and said, "Zhu Yi, how long can we last with the current food and grass?"
"It's only enough for seven days. If you save a little, you can last for ten days at most."
"Ten days? Well, just wait for another ten days. Although there are many brothers in the city who have been promoted, after all, they have been newly appointed and need time to communicate with their subordinates. Give them some time so that they can gain absolute command of their soldiers. Zhu
Second, are there any brothers in the city guarding the city gate?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
"The city gate guards are on a rotational basis now, so there should be some of our people." Zhu Er replied.
"Okay! Contact our brothers as soon as possible to see if there are brothers guarding the city gate in the next two days. If there are, send the three carts of herbs collected by Daniel to the city and give them to Gu Xiaofeng. Tell her, Qi
I must refine what I want within a few days, otherwise it will delay the big event."
Zhu Tianjiang made arrangements and immediately ordered the army to retreat thirty miles. That night, Zhu Tianjiang wrote a memorial and ordered people to report it to Emperor Chengwu immediately. Zhu Tianjiang's memorial was very brief, and he only told Emperor Chengwu that
Ten days later, he will fight in the capital.
The news that Zhu Tianjiang took the initiative to retreat excited the civil and military officials in the capital. According to Xuan Ming, Zhu Tianjiang was unreliable, and the capital army was about to launch a full-scale counterattack. Although that was said, Queen Xuan Ming and others,
There was a feeling of panic and uneasiness in my heart. The more mysterious Zhu Daguan and his people were, the more they felt there was a conspiracy here.
Gu Xiaofeng successfully received three carts of herbs. This descendant of the poisonous sect of the Lingnan Gu family immediately set up a stove in the backyard of the hotel and began to refine what Zhu Daguan needed.
For five days in a row, Xuan Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent 10,000 horses out of the city to track down the enemy. This time, Zhu Tianjiang was not polite and sent two generals, Xia Qing and Xia Qing, to pursue them all the way to the city before returning angrily.
Seven days later, Gu Xiaofeng finally completed her mission and refined three carts of herbs into ten bottles of powder according to the family's Poison Scripture.
As the war approached, Zhu Tianjiang began to feel restless. Zhu Daguan was thinking about every detail in his mind for fear of overlooking anything.
In the big tent, no one like Zhu Yi spoke. Zhu Si and Xia Qing each held two nightingales in their hands.
The surrounding candlelight reflected on Zhu Tianjiang's face. Tomorrow was the decisive battle, and everyone was waiting for his order.
Zhu Tianjiang finally raised his head, "Zhu Er, order all the brothers in the city to arrive at the city at the end of tomorrow. Using the rocket as a signal, the brothers in the army began to rebel. If the rocket cannot be used, no one is allowed to reveal their identity. In addition, tell me
My master Lin Feng, I have received permission from Master Wei Zhan to use all the people in the stick stick department in the city. Whether they are people from Xuanle or stick stick guys, they all obey the instructions of my master Lin Feng. I, sir, don’t
I have nothing else to ask for, but tell my master that I will ensure the absolute safety of Concubine Rong’s Palace in the Guo Mansion and Prince Jing. Once they are safely evacuated, my master will immediately release the signal, and our army can attack the city with all our strength."
As Zhu Tianjiang spoke, Zhu Er picked up his pen and wrote quickly in a special handwriting. After a while, the two secret letters were completed. Zhu Er proofread it once to make sure it was accurate, and put the two secret letters with the same content into
Bamboo tube.
The two nightingales were tied with the same secret message. Zhu Er did this to prevent any mistakes. Moreover, the handwriting he wrote could only be understood by those he had trained. Even if one of them fell into Xuan Ming's hands,
Even the other party can't figure out the meaning.
Zhu Si and Xia Qing walked out of the tent, and in the night, two nightingales spread their wings and flew towards the capital!
