The arrival of Zhu Tianjiang's army suddenly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers defending the city. On top of the city, everyone raised their spears and shouted loudly. The third prince rounded his arms and beat the war drum hard.
Zhou Yanqiang was trembling all over. Seeing that the work was done, why did Zhu Tianjiang's army suddenly attack? As for the scouts he went to yesterday, none of them came back to report to him.
Zhu Tianjiang had already sent Zhu Yi with a hunting team to hunt down Zhou Yantian's scouts. Zhu Tianjiang knew the importance of information better than anyone else. When the army was still one day away, Zhu Yi had already eliminated all the scouts.
"Calm down, everyone!" Zhou Yantian shouted hoarsely, "Ma Wei, I command you to lead 30,000 heavy cavalry to kill Zhu Tianjiang." Zhou Yantian's face trembled twice, and he didn't care about this.
A miscellaneous army. In the barracks of the Dafeng Dynasty, no team could be stronger than the northern army on the open ground.
Tens of thousands of men and horses quickly fought together. Although the northern army was brave, Zhu Tianjiang had many people. Moreover, Lin Feng was interspersed in the middle, specifically looking for those generals to kill. Without the leader, the soldiers and horses of the northern camp immediately fell into chaos.
group.
At the gap in the city gate, Li Hong and Chu Yun joined together and quickly drove each other out of the city. The officers and soldiers defending the city were so powerful that their fighting power immediately became stronger.
The eldest prince Xuanming was the most powerful among the brothers. Seeing the large-scale fighting in the city, the eldest prince ran to Chengwu and Prince Jing. He knelt down on one leg and begged for orders, "I would like to inform my father that I am willing to lead the troops in the city."
, go out of the city and kill that old man Zhou Yantian."
At this time, Emperor Chengwu swept away his previous decadence and became heroic. But if he wanted to take orders, he had to be the commander-in-chief, Prince Jing. Even if he was the emperor, he had to listen to the commander-in-chief in the army here.
"Brother Prince Jing, let the eldest prince go. I, the descendants of the Li family, have to go through the baptism of blood before they can become talents."
Prince Jing nodded, he understood what Emperor Cheng Wu meant, which was to compete with Zhu Tianjiang for credit. If that boy took all the credit, it would indeed be a bad look for the royal family.
King Jing pulled out his command flag and said, "I am commanding the eldest prince Xuanming to lead the cavalry camp in the city and go out to kill the rebels!"
"Xuan Ming has the order!" After the eldest prince finished speaking, he ran towards the city with a spear in hand.
A black bull horn sounded, and the city gate that had been closed for nearly a month creaked open. The eldest prince Xuanming climbed on his horse and pointed forward with a spear in his hand ~ "Kill!" The cavalry battalion, which had been holding back for a long time, rushed out of the city gate.
Chu Yun and Li Hong looked at each other, and with one move, they said, "Kill the rebels~charge at me!" At the gap under the city wall, a group of people followed and ran out.
The two armies were afraid of losing their morale when they clashed. Zhou Yantian's northern army immediately broke up when they saw that they were being attacked from both sides.
"No chaos! Hold on! Hold on!" Zhou Yantian couldn't control the army no matter how much he waved the flag in his hand.
"Uncle Guo, please withdraw quickly. We will leave the green hills without worrying about firewood. We can still regroup our troops when we return to the north." Seeing that the situation was over, the captain of Zhou Yantian's soldiers begged bitterly.
Zhou Yantian shouted for a long time, and he seemed to be stunned. The flag in his hand also fell to the ground. When the captain of the soldiers saw this posture, without saying a word, he protected Zhou Yantian and started to break through.
As soon as the commander ran away, the army immediately fell into disarray. All the troops followed the flag. As soon as the commander's flag moved, they all followed him with a roar. The army was defeated like a mountain. When Zhou Yantian ran away, the soldiers no longer had the intention to fight.
Zhu Tian lowered his command flag, and the big bull next to him pulled his neck and shouted loudly, "General Wen, Marshal Zhu ordered you to lead the army and chase Baili."
When Wen Ruhai saw the command flag, he raised his spear, and a flag officer galloped over on horseback. As soon as the commander's flag was waved, Fan Rong and other six soldiers and horses gathered over.
Outside the city gate, it has turned into a sea of joy. Life and death are on this line. The soldiers guarding the city shouted Zhu Tianjiang's name. Many soldiers began to clear the passage outside the city gate.
Prepare to welcome Zhu Tianjiang and others into the city.
Except for his personal troops, there was no one else around Zhu Tianjiang. Guo Ying wore men's clothes and looked at Zhu Tianjiang excitedly. This time, her official Zhu had made great contributions, and His Majesty was not allowed to award him a big reward.
Marshal Dang Dang.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at the people around him and found that his master Lin Feng was nowhere to be found. He probably didn't like to show up, so he ran into the city to meet his old lover while he was in chaos.
"Brothers, please hold your heads up high. Did you see that the one standing on the city wall wearing golden armor is the current emperor? The one standing next to him is Yu'er, our Prince Jing." Zhu Tian
Jiang pointed to the city head and said.
Except for Zhu Yi and others, almost all of his personal soldiers were criminals in the prison, and they had never seen the emperor at all. Daniel stretched his neck and sweated with excitement. To be able to see the emperor would be considered as a gain for his ancestors.
.
The eldest prince spurred his horse to run over, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Tianjiang, the road has been cleared. Please invite the great heroes to enter the city." The eldest prince looked at Zhu Tianjiang, with an indescribable sadness in his heart. This guy is
For those who support Lao Si, judging from this turmoil, Lao Si has become the prince who has benefited the most.
"First Prince, how dare I trouble you to welcome me? You should do it first." Zhu Tianjiang said kindly.
When the soldiers heard that this man was the eldest prince, their nostrils were raised and they didn't care at all. Because the fourth prince acted like an angry little daughter-in-law in front of Zhu Daguan, these guys were used to it.
The eldest prince led the 'handsome car' to the city. At this time, the city wall was already filled with civil and military officials.
Zhu Tianjiang stepped out of the handsome car, clasped his fists at Emperor Chengwu and shouted, "My minister Zhu Tianjiang came to my rescue late, I hope your majesty, master, will forgive me." Zhu Tianjiang wore a military uniform and performed a commanding salute in accordance with military regulations.
.
Emperor Chengwu held the battlements with both hands and looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a smile. Although Chengwu was so angry last night that he wanted to kill him, now, the more Emperor Chengwu looked at him, the more he liked him.
"Tianjiang, you have done a great job this time, why should you be guilty? Come, follow my instructions, pave the road with loess, clean the streets with clear water, and welcome Zhu Tianjiang into the city."
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the court kept nodding. To receive such treatment, I am afraid that Zhu Tianjiang was the youngest person in the history of the Dafeng Dynasty.
With a happy face, Zhu Daguan got into his handsome car again and went straight to the city gate. The so-called loess paving the ground and clearing the water and clearing the streets was just a symbol, and it was not really about getting a cart of loess.
As soon as Zhu Tianjiang's handsome car entered the city gate, he saw the old master Wang Bingkun standing in the middle of the road blocking the way. When Zhu Tianjiang saw the serious face of the old master Wang, he smiled bitterly and thought to himself that he didn't know that this old guy was coming again.
What to do? But ever since he heard that Taifu Wang dared to stand on the city wall and angrily rebuke Zhou Yantian, Zhu Tianjiang's impression of him changed a lot.
Zhu Tianjiang got out of the handsome car and walked a few steps in front of the old lady. Just as Zhu Tianjiang was about to speak, he saw old lady Wang adjusting his clothes and kneeling on the ground, "Zhu Tianjiang, I, Wang Bingkun, have always been clear about grudges and grudges."
.This kneeling is to apologize to you for what happened last time!"
Zhu Tianjiang was startled, and quickly stepped forward to hold Taifu Wang, "I say Lord Bo, are you trying to shorten my life? No one except the Emperor can bear the responsibility of kneeling down for you."
Zhu Tianjiang pulled Wang Taifu up, took two steps back, clasped his hands and bowed deeply, "The student's uniform is on me, so I can't kneel down to thank him. I hope Taifu will be generous and don't blame the students for being rude."
"
Taifu Wang stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Tianjiang with satisfaction. In Wang Taifu's eyes, the boy was very teachable.
"Bad boy, has my Yu'er endured hardship? If she loses a few pounds, I won't be able to spare you." Prince Jing came over wearing a robe.
When Zhu Tianjiang saw King Jing, he couldn't help but be startled. King Jing at this time was completely different from the King Jing when he left the capital. Not only was he thinner, but his beard was also very old.
"Prince Jing, you have suffered a lot. I have raised Yu'er to be fat and white, so you can rest assured." Zhu Tianjiang looked at Prince Jing with emotion. It could be seen from the dark circles under his eyes that Prince Jing was indeed exhausted.
.
Upon hearing that Yu'er was very good, Prince Jing smiled, then suddenly swayed and almost stopped standing.
"Hurry, Prince Jing is overworked, hurry up and send him to the Imperial Hospital." General Chu Yun ordered his soldiers to carry the royal sedan, and helped Prince Jing in without any further explanation.
Prince Jing lay in the sedan and was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, "This little brat, I call you Yu'er, why does he also call you Yu'er? No, I have to ask clearly. If this kid dares to do anything to Yu'er, I will
The king will beat him to death. Stop the sedan, stop the sedan quickly."
No matter what King Jing ordered, the soldiers did not listen to his orders this time. King Jing's injury never recovered, and the soldiers saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. Now that the city is safe, they would rather take the risk of disobeying the military order.
, and also let Prince Jing go for treatment quickly.
The third prince and the second prince walked over side by side. The second prince was in high spirits, but the third prince looked tired, but his smile was sincere.
"Brother Tianjiang, Xuan Can congratulates you for your great contribution to my Dafeng." The second prince said with a smile.
The third prince clasped his fists and said, "Xuan Le welcomes the hero." He said and bowed deeply.
"Haha, the two princes are so polite, I really don't know what to say. Let's go, the emperor's master is still waiting in front." Zhu Tianjiang said, without getting in the car, he walked forward directly.
Emperor Chengwu clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a pleased smile. Behind him, Wei Zhan's vicissitudes of life also showed a smile.
Zhu Yi and others were still riding on their horses, but when they saw Wei Zhan, the four of them dismounted in a hurry. Guo Ying waved her hand, and Daniu and others followed suit and dismounted.
Zhu Tianjiang walked a few steps hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Master, I have been talking about you every day. I haven't slept peacefully for so many days." Zhu Daguan looked sad and wished he could squeeze out a few tears.
.
When Daniel heard this from behind, he curled his lips as if he was eighty thousand. Mr. Zhu was like a dead pig when he didn't sleep, and he never had peace of mind. Guo Ying pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Zhu
In order to practice this expression, Tianxiang often performed in front of her.
Emperor Chengwu chuckled, "Haha, if you come here one day later, you won't be able to see me. Let's go! I'll take your handsome car back to the palace."
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he quickly helped Emperor Cheng Wu get into his handsome car. Zhu Tianjiang was about to give the order to drive, but he heard Emperor Cheng Wu say, "Tian Jiang, you can come up too."
"Uh! This can't be done, otherwise the old master will have to take part in my book again. But I'm here to drive the emperor's master, so that's all right."
Zhu Tianjiang is not stupid, and he cannot be arrogant when taking credit, otherwise he will commit a royal taboo. Zhu Tianjiang personally drove a handsome car, and the people along the way set up incense tables and cheered to greet him. Emperor Chengwu gave Zhu Tianjiang enough face this time,
But when he looked up and saw the pig flag, Emperor Cheng Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Everyone returned to the palace, Wen Ruhai chased for hundreds of miles, and did not lead the army back to the capital until noon. Emperor Chengwu immediately issued an order, ordering Wen Ruhai to temporarily act as the commander of the canopy army, continue to pursue Zhou Yantian, and guard the northern border.
The capital is safe, and the people are celebrating. The most important thing is that Zhu Tianjiang has brought a large amount of food. Moreover, the follow-up food and grass will arrive soon, which is enough to solve the crisis in the city.
The Zhennan General's Mansion was even more lively. Mrs. Guo was sitting in the lobby, and hundreds of officials came to congratulate her. This time, Zhu Tianjiang saved the Dafeng Dynasty. The officials all speculated on how big the official reward Emperor Cheng Wu would be.
Give it to Zhu Tianxiang.
After three days, the capital city basically settled down. Except for the Queen Mother Kun's harem, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. Wen Ruhai sent back the battle report and the northern army was completely dispersed, but the whereabouts of Zhou Yantian and his soldiers were unknown.
.
Emperor Chengwu acted vigorously and resolutely, and re-appointed a group of ministers of the capital. He also ordered officials from each government to go to Beijing within 20 days to meet the emperor. Without the obstruction of the Zhou family, Emperor Chengwu re-centralized power in the court.
In the palace, Wei Zhan and Prince Jing were sitting in the upper study room. The two of them had just finished reading the imperial edict prepared by Emperor Wu. Tomorrow morning, Emperor Cheng Wu would go to court and reward him based on his merits. As for the arrangement of Zhu Tianjiang, the biggest hero, until
This put Emperor Chengwu in a difficult position.
"Brother Prince Jing, Wei Zhan, do you think there is anything wrong with my decree?" Emperor Cheng Wu asked, looking at the two of them.
Wei Zhan didn't say anything silently. In this regard, Sticky Rod never participated. Prince Jing smiled bitterly, "Brother, is that too mean? How can I say that Zhu Tianjiang is also a person who has made great contributions?
, but you have awarded such a position, so you are not afraid of that kid hanging himself."
Emperor Chengwu frowned and said, "Brother Prince Jing, he is still young. If we give out a lot of rewards now, I'm afraid there will be no rewards left in the future."
"Forget it, you are the one who issued the imperial edict anyway, and that kid can't blame me." When King Jing saw that Wei Zhan was silent, he stopped arguing.
Prince Jing walked out of the palace and sighed secretly. Prince Jing understood why Emperor Cheng Wu did this. He was afraid of creating another Zhou Yantian!
