"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
Li Bin, who was outside Louzi Town, had a sullen face as he listened to the generals from the Yan Wang's central army saying, "The troops of the Gaoyang Wang were the first to reach Qimei Mountain and seized the two slopes of Qimei Mountain.The King of Yan has ordered the King of Gaoyang to lead the attack on the main camp of the imperial army. He has also ordered General Li to razed Louzi Town and then march towards Qimei Mountain in order! "Li Bin said, "Please report back to King Yan. I will obey your orders!""Goodbye." The general said and mounted his horse.Li Bin was so angry at this time, not to mention how aggrieved he was! General Wang Zhen had volunteered to be the vanguard, and Li Bin finally won the vanguard position, thinking that he could get the first credit by a surprise attack on the government army camp... Who would have thought that there was a trap in Louzi Town?He deployed his troops and attacked Louzi Town three times in
"Have you seen the reinforcements?" Wang Zhen rushed across the muddy road in the village, reined in his horse under a locust tree, and asked the general who was retreating towards him.The general shook his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.Wang Zhen looked back at the surging crowd on the plain, wanting to find a way to break through.He was originally just a small centurion in the guard of Prince Yan's Palace. Since the "Jingnan" campaign, he has experienced dozens of battles, big and small, and made meritorious services many times. He has risen rapidly from a centurion to a high-ranking commander-in-chief!Wealth and glory were within his reach. He had just bought a fifteen-year-old concubine before going to war at the beginning of the year, and he had not had time to enjoy her yet...So although Wang Zhen fought bravely, he did not want to die!At this moment, there were loud shouts and screams from the village behind him. When Wang Zhen
In the morning, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu led their troops to arrive at Qimei Mountain one after another, and the combat effectiveness of Zhu Gaoxu's vanguard cavalry was greatly boosted.The cavalry of the government army did not dare to advance rashly, and had to hold on to the infantry formation, with the infantry and cavalry supporting each other. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse on the battlefield. Through the drifting smoke and dust, he could see the large formation of Ping An and He Fu, which was roughly in the shape of a half moon and faced the direction of Qimei Mountain.The Northern Army cavalry attacked for a while, and just as they retreated, the government army began to slowly advance to the southwest. On the wide battlefield, swords and spears were like a forest, and horses and men were like a sea. The mountains, rivers and fields seemed very noisy and lively at this time.Zhu Gaoxu looked back and saw that the high ground on both sides of Qimei Mountain wa
It was raining lightly from the sky, and it sprinkled on the glazed tiles of Qianqing Gate, making a soft rustling sound, and already making everything in the open air wet.Zhu Yunwen, wearing a blue dragon robe, stood on the edge of the corridor, looking up at the misty rain in the sky with his hands behind his back. His brows were furrowed, and sadness spread around him like rain.A group of eunuchs and maids nearby stood on the corridor with their heads bowed, not daring to say a word.After a while, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru came over from the diagonal corridor. They kowtowed to the ground and said, "I will pay my respects to the Holy One."Zhu Yunwen turned around, waved his robe sleeves slightly, and the group of palace people behind him bent down and retreated towards the exit of the inclined corridor."Stand up." Zhu Yunwen said.The two men climbed up from the ground. They did not dare to look at the emperor, but they could obv
In the Prince's Mansion in Beiping, Zhu Gaochi was furious as he was helped down from the sedan chair by several people. He stared at the Prince's Consort Zhang who came up to him, "How dare you!""Why are you so angry, my Lord? If you have something to say, just speak slowly." Zhang was not afraid at all after being reprimanded. Her tone was neither soft nor harsh, which made it difficult for Zhu Gaochi to lose his temper for a while.She then said to the servants around her, "You guys go down.""Yes." Everyone knelt down.Mrs. Zhang then came forward to support Zhu Gaochi's arm. Zhu Gaochi shook his arm angrily, but did not shake it off, and said, "As a woman, why do you care about government affairs? It is only right that Tan Yuan's son kills people and pays for his life." ! If you plead for him in private and bend the law for personal gain, if your father finds out, will you spare us? "Zhu Gaochi paused slightly and continued to curse, "Tan
Duke Xu Huizu of Wei led his army away!When Zhu Gaoxu learned the news, he felt confused at first. He occasionally feels that his thinking is different from that of people of this era, and he cannot understand some of the ideas of the ancients...Soon after arriving at King Yan's Central Army, Zhu Gaoxu was sure: It was not that the imperial court had some clever strategy that was not understood by others, but it was really just a mistake of the imperial court!The generals in the big tent changed from the depression and decadence of two days ago. Everyone was noisy and burst into laughter from time to time.King Yan was describing in detail the details of the scene where Emperor Ming made this decision, why there was a sloping corridor from Qianqing Gate to Dongnuan Pavilion, and how many people there were. It was as if he saw it with his own eyes from a distance... Prince Yan's Mansion Being a spy is no small matter.Zhu Gaoxu was smiling, and
The Battle of Qimeishan broke out on the 22nd day of the winter month, and Xu Huizu was transferred away shortly thereafter; two days later, on the 25th day, Ping An and He Fu's army moved their camp to Lingbi.After Xu Huizu left, Ping An was even more short of cavalry. He was very negative at first and wanted to persuade He Fu to retreat to the Huai River and move the battle line south again.Ping An agreed to stay in Lingbi temporarily because of He Fu's persuasion. He Fu was mainly worried that retreating again and again would make the emperor and his ministers more dissatisfied; so he wanted to hold out in Lingbi for a while, and wait for the legendary "reinforcements from various provinces" to arrive, and then set up a decisive battle with the Yan army!...On the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the winter month, Ping An heard that the grain route was attacked, and immediately decided to lead his troops south to open up the grain route.He ag
