Chapter 281: The Celestial Empire
The decisive battle was repeatedly delayed. From late September to early October, the Ming army, apart from capturing and destroying some military camps, still did not find Sijia's main force.
It turned out that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to solve the Meng Yangsi problem before Guo Wei gave birth, but it seemed impossible.
He also had to consider a thorny problem: Sijia might choose not to fight this battle.
There is still a choice in thinking and doing. He can completely abandon Meng Yangsi's administrative office and the surrounding villages and fields to avoid the Ming army's front. In this way, Sijia would lose a lot of wealth and population, but it would definitely be able to preserve its troops; the Ming army was in the mountainous woods, and it would be too difficult to catch the Sijia chieftain's army.
The facts are before us. If Si Xingfa believes that there is no chance of winning this battle, there is really only one best tactic: don't fight.

The sun shines on the sandy riverbank, with a pale sheen. There is a large sparse forest deep in the horizon, and the treetops are faintly undulating in the breeze. It is just a sunny and quiet morning.Zhu Gaoxu stood outside the fence of the military camp, watching the shadows of a group of people coming from the sparse woods in the distance. The soldiers beside him waited silently.The cavalry gradually approached, protecting an empty horse in the middle; but there seemed to be something on the empty horse's back. When the cavalry got closer, people could see clearly that there was a human head on the empty horse's back!The bloodstained head, with messy and dirty hair, was tied to the horse's back with a rope. In the mouth of the head, a piece of rice paper was bitten. Zhu Gaoxu signaled the soldiers to take down the paper. When they took it, they saw that it was a letter Zhu Gaoxu wrote to Si Xingfa, which was covered with blood."Damn it!" Some g

Game of the Throne Chapter 285: Looking into the Valley
Outside, between the majestic double-eaved palace, snow and rain fell, but inside the imperial gate, it was antique, warm and spacious. Most of the civil and military officials were talking to each other, and people could vaguely hear a few words. Most of the remarks in the temple were related to etiquette and morality.Because those who stand at the center of the empire are mostly the makers of the rules, and when they comment on everything, they have to consider the issues from the perspective of reason, etiquette and law, which are the cornerstones of the family and the country; especially in occasions with many people, this is the only way to appear profound.Emperor Zhu Di said nothing. He had no time to talk to the ministers. He was reading Gao Xu's memorial. What Gao Xu wrote in the memorial was exactly the opposite. It had nothing to do with reason. It was just a repeated weighing of interests...Gao Xu believes that from the Yuan Dynasty to the begi
Game of the Throne Chapter 286: Snow and Rain
The entire imperial city was shrouded in snow, and everything seemed to be imprisoned in it, with nowhere to escape. However, what really imprisoned people was the high red palace wall.On the east side of the imperial city, there is a large open space between the Xingqing Palace and the Dashan Hall, and the "Qi Fu Temple" is built close to the palace wall.The Taoist temple was actually a small courtyard with a platform built in the courtyard and a Taoist temple built on the platform. Miao Jin prayed for Empress Xu every day in this Taoist temple. She was sometimes allowed to see Empress Xu, but she was not allowed to enter and leave the courtyard at will.The courtyard wall is very low. You can see the scenery outside from inside the Taoist temple, but you can never see the scenery outside the imperial city. Only the palace wall makes people feel depressed.The palace walls were not as thick as those of Nanjing, but they were very high; not only were

On the territory of the Chief Envoy of Yunnan, it only snows on the mountains and rains below the mountains. Even in the dry season, it often rains in the mountainous and forested areas of the southwest.It is raining in the sky above Yongchangfu City. Under the eaves on both sides of the streets in the city, people of all ethnic groups were taking shelter from the rain and watching the excitement. There were also many officials and civilians wearing bamboo hats and holding umbrellas in the rain.Groups of soldiers were passing by in formation at the gate of the city. There was a continuous sound of neat running footsteps, and mud and sewage were stepped on and splashed everywhere.After a while, Zhu Gaoxu, wearing armor, got off a carriage, and a personal soldier immediately opened an umbrella to cover his head. Zhu Gaoxu glanced sideways, and Zhao Ping beside him said in a deep voice, "Take the umbrella away."Many local civil and military officials

After bathing in hot water, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little tired now, and his body was so soft that he didn't want to move. He put on soft silk clothes and rested on a soft brocade chair.A young palace maid in a moon-white dress came up with fragrant Yunnan tea and placed two stacks of snacks and dried fruits. He and the beautiful sixteen or seventeen-year-old princess sitting next to him were talking to each other about their respective affairs when they parted.Not long ago, Zhu Gaoxu had been sleeping in the open air, sleeping in rough tents and trekking on muddy roads. At this time, he felt that the palace of the Han Dynasty was indeed luxurious and comfortable. However, he knew very well that even if he had such glory and wealth, he could not just enjoy it in the palace all day long; even his father Zhu Di, who was rich all over the world, would still go to fight in all directions.Guo Wei said softly, "When I was full moon, Mrs. Shen Xu gave me a big gift.
