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
Inside and outside Lingbi County, there were more than 300,000 troops on both sides, which might be more than the population of the entire county.On the twenty-ninth day of the winter month, all the troops of the Northern Army arrived at the Lingbi camp and completed the encirclement of the government troops.The King of Yan summoned his generals in the central army and said, "He Fu's army has just been defeated, and morale is low. The official army is short of food, and the army is in turmoil. Our division urgently needs a big victory to boost morale. This king has decided to launch a large-scale attack on the camp tonight and take advantage of the situation to destroy Ping An and He Fu's army!"There was a commotion in the big tent, but no one stood up to speak for a while.Zhu Gaoxu originally thought that the government troops would sooner or later come out of the fortifications because they had no food. As long as he built another fortification o
Ping An rushed out of the east gate of the camp with his halberd and patted his horse. Outside, there was a crowd of people in chaos and flames. He turned around and saw that countless officers and soldiers were driven into the trench he had dug. He saw that the ditch was crowded with people, and the screams and cries of ghosts and gods were loud.He sighed and turned back to the barracks. At this time, a group of Yan's cavalry rushed over. Ping An looked carefully and saw that the person in front of him was not King Gaoyang.Now that defeat was certain, Ping An was too embarrassed to yell. He picked up his long halberd and decided to fight to the death with Zhu Gaoxu!"Damn it!" Ping An cursed in a low voice and rushed out on his horse.Unexpectedly, Gaoyang Prince Zhu Gaoxu shouted first, "General Ping, all you can do now is surrender to my father as soon as possible to reduce the unnecessary sacrifice of soldiers!"Ping An stared at Zhu Gaoxu,
It started snowing in the capital, and memorials from Huainan flew into the imperial city like snowflakes.The Yan rebels first asked Mei Yin of Huai'an and Xu An of Fengyang for permission to pass through the imperial mausoleum to pay homage and burn incense, but were rejected. Mei Yin also cut off the ears and nose of the Yan king's envoy.Then Sheng Yong wrote a letter, hoping to use the Huai River to delay the Yan army. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the Yan rebels crossed the Huai River and attacked Sheng Yong's camp from behind. Sheng Yong's army was defeated and retreated to the Yangtze River. The emperor then sent Xue Yan, the Minister of the Dali Temple, across the river to question Sheng Yong.Inside the imperial gate, Zhu Yunwen looked haggard, and his hair was a little messy. At this time, someone reported that Xue Yan had returned to the capital, so Zhu Yunwen summoned him to see the emperor.After Xue Yan finished his kowtow, Zhu Yunwen
Outside Puzikou City, corpses were strewn all over the ground, and snowflakes were floating on the messy corpses, making it particularly solemn and desolate. On the ground lay a fallen flag, the word "Ming" on it was already blurred in the mud and snow.A soldier wearing a wide-brimmed hat ran desperately in the snow, accidentally kicked a corpse and fell to the ground. He immediately turned over and stared at the whistling iron horse with terrified eyes. He pressed his hands on the snow behind him and kicked his feet to move his body backwards.A large flag with "Prince Gaoyang" written on it fluttered over, and on a large brown horse, Zhu Gaoxu, who was fully armored, raised his spear and stabbed at the soldiers on the ground. But the spear was suddenly retracted, and Zhu Gaoxu shouted on horseback, "Surrender and you can avoid death!""General, please spare my life!" the soldier finally shouted.Zhu Gaoxu then put away his spear. The soldier turned
"Wa wa wa..." Zhu Wengui, who was less than one year old, seemed to sense the danger. He kicked and cried in the arms of the eunuch Wu Zhong.Empress Ma was distressed when she heard this and looked back at Wengui several times. If Wengui fell into the hands of the enemy, he would be in great danger, but Empress Ma could not bear to take his life personally. After all, he was her own flesh and blood. She could only leave it to fate and let Wengui's fate take its course."Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wu Zhong knelt in the hall holding the little prince, "Your Majesty, please think twice..."Ma said, "I am the mother of the country. How can I be humiliated by a traitor?"Wu Zhong cried, "I am willing to follow the Queen."Ma pointed at the child in his arms and said, "Take good care of Wengui."Wu Zhong knelt there for a long time.Ma gritted her teeth and walked out of Kunning Palace without looking back. The spring snow outside had stopped,
The simple room in the temple was almost empty except for two pieces of crude wooden furniture and cloth bedding. Yao Ji propped her back against the wooden door and heard people outside discussing how to execute her!Yao Ji was terrified and angry, her hands and feet were shaking. She didn't want to die! She wanted a lot of things, but after more than ten years in this world, all she got was torture. How could she be willing?After a while, there was a "bang" sound, and Yao Ji stumbled when the door was lifted, and the thin door was knocked open. Then two nuns came up and grabbed her, and tied a hemp rope around her.Yao Ji struggled to her feet, staring at the old nun at the door, gritting her teeth and hissing, "If I die here, I will turn into a fierce ghost and make you all die miserably!""Shut her mouth!"Yao Ji bit her lip and spat out a mouthful of blood toward the door, staring at it with her big eyes....The capital city, with a p
A circle of white cloth had been hung on the Meridian Gate, and faint sounds of mourning were heard from the palace. Zhu Gaoxu stood on the Thousand-Step Corridor and heard Wang Bin say that the emperor had committed suicide by burning himself in the Fengtian Hall and had passed away.Zhu Gaoxu looked back to the north and thought to himself: When the Fengtian Hall caught fire, I went in personally, and I didn't see the emperor inside at all.He did not comment, but handed the reins to Wang Bin and said, "She is Yao Ji. You take care of her while I go to see my father first."Wang Bin said, "I obey your command."Yao Ji's bright eyes rested on Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu saw it and knew that Yao Ji didn't know anyone here except him, so he said kindly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."Wang Bin pointed to a mansion on the Qianbu Corridor, and Zhu Gaoxu walked towards that place alone.On the way, he was still thinking about one thing: before going
