Chapter 118: Vanguard
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:27At the end of July in the third year of Jianwen, the King of Yan led an army of more than 200,000 soldiers to surround the county town of Pei County, and tried to persuade them to surrender by shooting arrows into the city, but was rejected. Then he fired more than a thousand large and small cannons on all sides, and the whole county was filled with smoke.
The Prince of Yan believed that the county seat of Pei could be captured at any time, so he sent Zhu Gaoxu as the vanguard and led 5,000 infantry and cavalry from his own army and 3,000 cavalry from the vassal states to march south, with the vanguard approaching Xuzhou.
Zhu Gaoxu received the order and led his people to leave Pei County. After walking for half a day, they could still vaguely hear the sound of cannons coming from the north.
A large number of troops and horses were moving on the road like a black dragon. No civilians were seen on the plains. They probably hid after hearing the cannon fire. Z

A few days later, the Prince of Yan captured Pei County and immediately led his army south to Xuzhou. At that time, the Xuzhou government troops had lost the battle with the vanguard Zhu Gaoxu's troops and had closed the city to defend it. So the northern army surrounded Xuzhou and built siege fortifications.Two days after the artillery fire, the Northern Army did not use infantry to attack the city, but sent cavalry out to collect food. It was just as Zhu Gaoxu had expected...an army of more than 200,000 soldiers could not march south without food!One day, Zhu Gaoxu led his personal soldiers to inspect the four fields, but he saw a busy farming scene. In the rice fields that had not yet been harvested, many militiamen were busy working, and there were some cavalrymen with bows and arrows wandering around on the ridges of the fields to supervise.Zhu Gaoxu could not help but stop his horse and watch, and was also surprised... After six hundred years, the m

"Even your uncle praised you highly for the battle in Xuzhou." Prince Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu.Xu Huizu praised him, how did the Prince of Yan know? Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of the traitor, the news came really fast... My father was not only good at fighting on the battlefield, but also played a big role in arranging spies, and he could often know the deployment of the government troops in advance.Before he could speak, the King of Yan paused for a moment and said, "Gao Xu is good at using cavalry. You have too few soldiers, Zhang Wu!"Zhang Wu stepped out and said, "I will be here."King Yan said, "You and the twelve elite cavalrymen of our army will follow Gao Xu and be under his command."Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"Zhang Wu is no longer a captain of the guards. Because Zhu Gaoxu had tried his best to commend him and he made meritorious contributions several times later, he was promoted to the positi

In mid-October, although the Suishui River had not frozen, it was still damp and cold.Jin Shitou was in He Fu's army. He stood on the north bank of the stream, jumping repeatedly to shake off the cold water on his body. Not long ago, before dawn, he was laying wooden boards on the pontoon bridge. He couldn't see clearly and accidentally fell into the river. Fortunately, he grabbed the wooden stakes and climbed up. His lower body was completely wet, and he was shivering with cold."Bang! Bang..." The sound of hammers hitting wooden piles was scattered and even, and the brothers on the bridge were still reinforcing the wooden piles. The water in the creek was not deep, and the soldiers used ropes to secure the boats. Since the Northern Army had more cavalry, they rammed wooden piles in the middle of the river to stabilize the pontoon bridge, so that the cavalry could also cross the river quickly."Jin Shitou is a tough guy, you better warm yourself up by the

Jin Shitou reached out his hand and wiped the eyes of the man on the ground, then stood up, followed the direction the wounded soldier was facing, and glanced at the sun in the sky.At this moment, a voice said, "General Chen Wen, the deputy governor of the right wing, was beheaded in Ping An's battle!"Captain Wang's voice said, "Shut up!"There were loud footsteps coming from the front, and from the sound, it was known that a large number of government troops were approaching. According to the generals' previous discussion, the people coming from the south should be the troops of He Fu, the general of the government army.Jin Shitou was choked by the smell of gunpowder in the air and coughed twice. The soldiers around him also coughed, but no one said a word. The atmosphere was very dull and weird. Jin Shitou stared, swallowed his saliva, and listened to the footsteps and drums in the distance.Captain Wang shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

Qiu Fu rubbed his round forehead vigorously with his thick fingers, straightened up and looked around, trying to figure out the situation on the battlefield.On the north bank of the Sui River, the fields looked like a huge pot of boiling porridge. The dust raised by the horsemen drifted across the land like a muddy flood. There were also scattered soldiers running around, making the battlefield even more chaotic.While observing the chaos in his sight, Qiu Fu was thinking hard, trying to connect the scene before him with the initial deployment and thread the needle!His troops first assembled and deployed their troops in the military camp on the north bank of the creek, and then advanced toward the pontoon bridge in the south, hoping to recapture the several pontoon bridges that had been built with great effort.But after He Fu's troops crossed the river, their strength increased. Therefore, Chen Wen's Northern Army, which was located behind Qiu Fu, w

Several floating bridges on the Suishui River were shrouded in thick white fog early in the morning. On the north bank, the muddy ground had become very hard after being trampled by countless people and horses. The thousands of troops and horses of yesterday were no longer here.Only a few knights were wandering on the north bank. The knights' bodies rose and fell slightly on their horses, and they turned their heads to observe the other side of the floating bridge.At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound in the air, and a heavy arrow came flying through the air! A Northern Army knight was startled and kicked his horse hard. At this time, the arrow had already landed on the hard soil next to it, and it went deep into the ground with a "puff" sound, and the tail of the arrow feather was still shaking violently.The mount was suddenly kicked, and it let out a startled "hiss" and started running away.After a while, the Yan army in the north fired two

"Clang!" There was a clang of armor, and Zhu Gaoxu pressed his hands on the bed board and lifted his heavy upper body up from the quilt. The voice in the dream is still ringing in my ears: selling straw sandals, selling straw sandals...He opened his eyes and looked at the simple wooden table next to him. Under the nearly burned out candle, the candle tears melted into a ball. By the light of the candle, the gold inlaid on the sheath of the Yanling Sword glowed with a metallic luster.Zhu Gaoxu let out a breath and shook his heavy head. He didn't know why he dreamed that he was selling straw sandals instead of paying off a small loan. But after waking up from the dream, it will be fine. He is still the king of the county and his wealth is still there.He asked outside the oilcloth curtain, "What time is it now?"The man on duty outside the tent replied, "Go back to your lord, it's almost five o'clock."Zhu Gaoxu stood up, took the Yanling knife a

Zhu Gaoxu led the troops for a long time when they heard a loud cannon shot in the distance, just like a thunder in the sky. Many soldiers looked sideways in the direction of the sound.Not long after, the muskets over there started firing "bang bang bang..." Zhu Gaoxu sighed immediately, thinking that today's battlefield would start in chaos again.Zhu Gaoxu was not originally a forward, but now most of the forward Li Bin went to blockade and encircle the basket, so Zhu Gaoxu became a forward again.He looked far into the distance at the shadows of the mountains, which were looming in the white mist. The mountain, which was as high as his eyebrows, had arches on both sides and a valley in the middle. From a distance, it did look a bit like two eyebrows.Although the shadow of Mount Qimei was now visible, according to Zhu Gaoxu's experience, it would take a while to walk over there.The cannon sound just now was so loud that it was probably not a

The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees.

The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
Game of the Throne Chapter 1062 Chicken with Rice
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which

The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
