Zhu Tianjiang put Mrs. Guo's secret letter on the table with a gloomy expression. The memory and experience of his previous life told him that no matter what age, people's hearts are unpredictable and even more difficult to fathom.
Zhu Tianjiang understood why Emperor Chengwu asked Chu Yun to follow him. Only General Chu Yun in the capital could take on the important task of crusading against Zhou Yantian. Another point was that Chu Yun had a good relationship with him. This was for Xuan Le.
Got a talisman.
After repeated battles, Wen Ruhai's army had forced Zhou Yantian into a blind corner. Even if Zhou Yantian did not die, the threat to the Dafeng Dynasty had dropped to the lowest point. At this time, Xuan Le followed, even if it was not Emperor Cheng Wu's attack on Zhu
Tianliang became suspicious, and it was obvious that he wanted the fame to fall on the royal family. Zhu Tianliang didn't care about fame and credit, but with the current real strength of Wen Ruhai's army, he couldn't resist Zhou Yantian's counterattack in Guishan City.
At present, it is known that there are no less than 30,000 troops in Guishan City. If the people in the city are mobilized to participate in the war, the number of troops can be doubled at least. Wen Ruhai's army participating in the battle outside the city only has 30,000 troops. Once the Uzbek army evacuates outside Guishan City,
, Zhu Tianjiang believes that neither Chu Yun nor Wen Ruhai can be Zhou Yantian's opponent. Moreover, once Zhu Tianjiang returns to Beijing, he will definitely bring back Zhu Si's thousand men. Even though he only has a thousand troops
, Zhu Tianjiang believes that these people are definitely no less powerful than the five thousand warriors. If they all evacuate, the victory won will probably be in vain.
Seeing that Zhu Tianjiang's expression was not good, Zhan Ling reached out and picked up the secret letter on the table. Just when Zhu Tianjiang was about to stop him, he found that Zhan Ling had already started reading, and Zhu Tianjiang put down his arm helplessly. He was not afraid that Zhan Ling would leak it.
What's the secret? Zhu Tianjiang is worried that Zhan Ling's anger will damage the fetus.
"Pa~!" Zhan Zhanqi slapped the table, "It's too much to bully others. It's a taboo for military officers to change generals before the battle. Besides, our brothers have worked hard to win and are already in sight. Why should we hand over the military power to them?"
Zhu Daguan smiled bitterly and hurriedly persuaded him, fearing that being too angry would harm his body and be detrimental to the fetus. In his previous life, Zhu Tianjiang lived in an era of eugenics and eugenics, and young men and women attached great importance to the care of their fetuses. It is not like in this era, they are like piglets.
They give birth at will, and many pregnant women in mountain villages still go to work in the fields even when they are in labor. Perhaps this is God’s punishment for mankind. The more it is like this, many people will not be able to give birth. Just like Prince Jing, he married four princesses, but only one
Yu'er is a girl. Zhu Tianjiang has never been a father, and he loves his unborn child very much. Now, the spirit divination has become a key protection object in Zhu Tianjiang's heart. Even if he is hurt, the spirit divination cannot be allowed.
and the fetus in the belly was slightly frightened.
"Ling'er, the Dafeng Dynasty is different from your Wu tribe. All your Wu tribe's troops are led by their own troops. If you want to change, you have to change the troops and generals together. The Dafeng Dynasty is different. All the armies are royal. The army
The generals in the army can be replaced at any time. I don't care about the victory. I just hand over the Uzbek army to Chu Yun and Xuan Le. I'm a little worried." Zhu Tianjiang explained.
"It's a good idea. We, the young men of the Wu tribe, are here for you, Zhu Tianjiang. No one else can even think of mobilizing any of the soldiers of the Wu tribe." Zhan Lingqi's pretty face turned bright red and he glared at Zhu Tianjiang angrily.
"Look, I knew you would be angry. My sister-in-law, please sit down quickly to avoid injuring your fetus." Zhu Tianjiang lovingly helped Zhan Ling to the seat.
It was a bit embarrassing to divine the spirit in front of Zhu Er, "How can she be so delicate? Our Uzbek women even helped kill cows and sheep before giving birth." The divine spirit said this, and her heart was indeed filled with a warm feeling.
.
Seeing the loving look of the two people, Zhu Er's depressed mood was diluted a lot.
"Sir, what are your plans? Are you going to return to the capital, or are you going to stay here?" Zhu Er asked.
"Nonsense, of course I'm going back to the capital. I can't disobey your orders, otherwise what can I do?" Zhu Tianjiang said helplessly.
"I don't care, I will withdraw my troops if you leave anyway." Zhan Ling said stubbornly.
Zhu Tianjiang thought about it and realized that there was really no need to help the Dafeng Dynasty conquer the world. Besides, Zhu Tianjiang wanted Zhan Ling to stay outside the customs for a long time. He had no intention of giving his troops to Xuan Le. However, now
Withdrawing the troops would be a big blow to Wen Ruhai and the others.
"Zhu Er, according to the date on Mrs. Guo's letter, Chu Yun and Xuan Le should not arrive for a few days. Immediately inform Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others. There is no need to explore the canyon anymore. Zhou Yantian's survival may be of some benefit to us."
Zhu Tianjiang ordered.
"Sir, if the Uzbek people really want to withdraw their troops, what are you going to say to General Wen?" Zhu Er looked at Zhu Tianjiang and asked.
"Not only Wen Ruhai and the others, but also Chu Yun and I have a good relationship. We can't let him be in trouble here. If it doesn't work, we can only mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Yang Bo and Ge Long."
"Then what should we do?" Zhan Ling looked at Zhu Tianjiang nervously. If the Uzbek army really went back, she didn't know whether to follow Zhu Tianjiang or follow the team home.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, your brother has promised me that I can temporarily lend these soldiers and horses to me for a year or two. Then we can carry our son back and make my brother-in-law envious."
Zhan Ling glanced at Zhu Tianjiang shyly. She was satisfied with Zhu Tianjiang's answer. If she really was asked to lead the army back to the Uzbek tribe, Zhan Ling would not say anything, but she would be very sad in her heart.
Zhu Tianjiang asked Zhu Er not to reveal the news for the time being. Before Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others came back, Zhu Tianjiang did not want Wen Ruhai and the others to know. Zhu Tianjiang knew very well that after this news was revealed to everyone, there would be formations in the army.
What kind of result.
One day later, Zhu Er sent men and horses to find Zhu Yi, Xia Qing, Zhu Si and others. This time the exploration of the canyon was still in vain, and there was no way to climb. Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others tried all, except
Those with some basic skills in martial arts can barely climb up, but others can't do it at all. Even using ropes won't work. The soldiers and horses in the city will patrol every half shift. Once these ropes are discovered, the pair of climbing soldiers will
But it was a disaster.
Zhu Tianjiang asked the guards to call Zhu Yi and others to the big tent of fortune-telling and told everyone what happened in the capital. Except for Lin Feng who was training in Coba City and Da Niu who had gone to Tianqing to propose marriage, Da Niu
The tent was full of Zhu Tianjiang's people. When everyone heard this, everyone was filled with anger.
In the hearts of Zhu Yi and others, they risked their lives in Tianqing to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Dafeng Dynasty for many years. In order to wipe out Zhou Yantian, Zhu Tianjiang even invited the Uzbek army to come over based on his personal feelings. All he did was also
It wasn't all for the sake of the Dafeng Dynasty and Emperor Chengwu. Now, Emperor Chengwu actually killed the donkey and forced Zhu Tianjiang to give away the credit. Zhu Tianjiang could bear it, but they couldn't bear it.
"Sir, if you want me to stop doing anything, just take Prince Xuanle as a hostage, and you can become emperor outside the customs." Xia Qing said angrily. He himself is a gangster, and he doesn't take the emperor seriously at all.
thing.
Zhu Si also nodded, "Brother Xia Qing is right. Since the court is unkind, we can't be blamed for being unjust. Besides, people like General Wen will remain neutral even if they don't support you. While there are people like the Uzbek people
With soldiers and horses, we can easily control the situation."
Seeing that Zhu Yi was about to speak, Zhu Tianjiang quickly stopped him, "Brothers, what's the use of saying these angry words? It quenches my thirst, right? I don't care about becoming king and emperor, but I don't have the time now.
The Uzbek tribe has just reached a settlement with Tianqing, and these are the only troops that can be lent to us. Even if we include the troops we have hidden in Anyuan County, there are only more than 30,000 people. Without the absolute strength to protect ourselves, we are now fighting against Chengwu.
The emperor is irresponsible to his brothers.
Brothers, it’s really not yet time for us to build our own paradise. When will Zhu Si train a powerful army of 30,000 men in Anyuan? Zhu Er will also arrange the intelligence network to match that of Sticky Rod.
When we are at par with each other, we can resist anyone's orders at any time. Of course, the most important thing is our thunder cannon. If we build ten of them, we can kill even the most powerful soldiers and horses.
Besides, isn't it just being slandered behind your back? What's the point? This time I will return to the capital openly and let those rumors be disproven."
Zhu Tianjiang expressed his thoughts frankly. He did not mind proclaiming himself king and emperor, but the time was not yet ripe. Although it was not a bad idea for Zhu Tianjiang to really establish himself as king now, the pressure he faced was very huge. In the end,
The key point is that the army's logistical supply guarantee is very lacking. Waging a war depends not only on strong men and horses, but information and logistics are indispensable elements. The reason why Emperor Chengwu never attacked Zhou Yantian was because the army
Feng's treasury was empty and unable to support a major war. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang asked Zhu San to build a trade network in order to have money to hoard food and grass.
After hearing what Zhu Tianjiang said, although everyone was dissatisfied, they couldn't bring it up anymore.
"Sir, what should we do with Miss Zhanling's troops?" Xia Qing asked.
"I looked at the map and planned to have them temporarily stationed in Horseshoe City, south of Coba City. This army cannot follow us south and enter the customs. I will discuss this matter secretly with Wen Ruhai, Qin Wei and others, which is equivalent to
Let the Uzbek army be stationed there in the name of Dafeng Soldiers and Horses. Anyway, the Ministry of War will not come here to check. Besides, I will let Zhu Sanlai provide military pay and food without having to pay for it from the northern camp."
"Sir, don't forget that General Chu Yun is about to replace the injured General Wen. What will happen if he is found out?" Zhu Si said worriedly.
"Don't worry, as soon as the spirit-telling soldiers and horses withdraw, Chu Yunguang will be too busy dealing with Zhou Yantian, so he won't have time to inspect other cities." Zhu Tianjiang looked at everyone and said with a smile.
Zhu Yi and others nodded, not to mention, if that were the case, Zhou Yantian's existence would have actually helped them. After everyone discussed the details, Zhu Tianjiang led Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others out of the fortune telling room.
Big account.
Although Zhu Tianjiang is the actual helmsman of this army, Zhu Tianjiang has always let Wen Ruhai live in the commander's tent. Zhu Tianjiang and Zhu Yi came to the commander's tent. After a while, Zhu Er also moved Qin Weifan to the commander's tent.
Rong and other important people were called over.
Qin Wei and others thought that Zhu Tianjiang had found a way to enter the city. When they learned that the capital was coming to replace generals, Qin Wei, Fan Rong and others were dumbfounded. They felt that Emperor Cheng Wu's behavior was a bit unreasonable.
Zhou Yantian hadn't completely taken over, how could he let Zhu Tianjiang leave? However, these generals were not as direct as Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others. Qin Wei, Fan Rong and others only showed helplessness and unwillingness, but they did not dare to resist Cheng Wu Emperor
Wen Ruhai was seriously injured. Even if the capital didn't come with an order, I'm afraid he would have to return to Hukou Pass to recuperate.
Zhu Tianjiang told Wen Ruhai and others about "borrowing the city", and Qin Wei readily agreed. There were no garrisons in these cities themselves, and their military strength could not be taken into account. The Uzbek people were stationed there, which was the key.
He always helped them. Furthermore, the Uzbek army wiped out Ma Wei, so Qin Wei, Fan Rong and others always owed their favor to him.
Seeing Qin Wei and others agreeing so simply, Zhu Tianjiang couldn't help but feel a little moved. After all, these were brothers who had shared the joys and sorrows with him, and they were taking great risks in doing so.
Just the day before Prince Xuan Le and General Chu Yun arrived at Hukou Pass, troops and horses outside the pass began to mobilize frequently. Yang Bo and Ge Hong only had 500 troops left behind, and the rest were mobilized outside Guishan City. The Uzbek army
The only way to leave was to let these people make up for the vacancy temporarily. Zhan Ling did not follow the Wu army to Horseshoe City. Zhu Tianjiang was reluctant to leave Zhan Ling outside the pass, so he could only let her follow him back to the capital. Zhan Ling handed over the army.
Under the command of the Thousand Captain Hou Zhenha, she was willing to be with Zhu Tianliang even if she was not the commander.
As soon as the troops here were mobilized, Zhu Tianjiang led his brothers to quietly leave outside Guishan City, preparing to welcome Xuan Le and Chu Yun in Coba City. One of the most important reasons was that it was inconvenient to do divination in Wenzhou.
Appeared in the Ruhai camp. In Coba City, you can hide the news of divination anywhere you want.
With everything in place, Zhu Tianjiang's nerves that had been tense for several days finally relaxed. With his prestige in the military, Zhu Tianjiang believed that the generals who knew the situation would not betray him.
On the official road leading from Hukou Pass to Guishan City, Chu Yun and Xuan Le led 10,000 troops from a large camp on the outskirts of Beijing and hurried to Guishan City.
Chu Yun frowned. He was asked to do this job at a critical moment, so he couldn't do it if he didn't come. Besides, Prince Jing also entrusted him with an extremely secret matter, which made Chu Yun feel that this trip was very embarrassing.
Chu Yun turned back and glanced at Xuan Le's carriage. He was really worried that Prince Xuan Le's departure from seclusion this time would make it impossible for him to come back and never come back!
