Chapter 57: Reinforcements are coming
In September of the first year of Jianwen, Geng Bingwen's defeat angered the Ming emperor and his ministers, and the court decided to launch an unprecedented large-scale attack on the Prince of Yan!
The two sides decided to attack from both sides, with Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, leading 500,000 central troops in the south, and Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, leading the Liaodong troops out of the Liaoxi Corridor in the north. By attacking from both sides, it was expected that the rebellion in Beiping would be resolved within the first year of Jianwen!
Li Jinglong told his soldiers that they could go home to celebrate the New Year after taking Beijing!
...In Hejian Prefecture, the army gathered inside and outside the city, and Li Jinglong stood on the top of the city. He faced the cold wind of late autumn, but his blood was boiling. Looking at the teams of galloping cavalry, the tents, and countless soldiers on the plain, he seemed to be standing on the clouds.

"Reinforcements are coming! King Gaoyang really keeps his word!"Zhu Gaoxu was lying on the top of the city wall when he heard someone nearby shouting excitedly. He used his palm to block the glaring sunlight above his head and stared outside the city with wide eyes. Wu Gao's Liaodong Army was retreating! Behind the fortifications, shovels, hoes, tents and other things were thrown everywhere.Jiangyin Hou Wu Gao was also funny. He traveled thousands of miles to Hebei, bringing thousands of people with him to work on the construction site every day. After working for several days, he didn't fire a single shot or arrow, and then he abandoned the fortifications he had worked so hard to build and ran away with his people.However, what if the King of Yan’s reinforcements did not arrive?Fortunately, the King of Yan really came. First, a group of cavalry crossed the fortifications outside the city and chased northward. Then, in the west, a dark mass of flag

When Prince Yan arrived at the Yongping Guard Office, he immediately took the seat that Zhu Gaoxu usually sat in and sat down steadily on the official seat. After greeting, Prince Yan quickly turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting below him, and said, "The court should not have deposed Prince Ning. What strategy did Gaoxu use?"Zhu Gaoxu thought quickly for a moment. He didn't want to stand out too much. He just wanted to help his father quietly... Helping Prince Yan was also helping himself.However, since the King of Yan asked, lying would be superfluous and would be even more troublesome if it was exposed in the future.People living in the world, of course, have to tell lies; but when it is possible to tell the truth, it is better to tell the truth, simple. This was Zhu Gaoxu's habit in his previous life.Zhu Gaoxu reached into his arms and began to take something out, attracting the attention of everyone standing in the lobby.

The next morning, the King of Yan led his troops out of Yongping City.The army crossed the Great Wall from Liujiakou one after another, and headed straight for Daning City along a mountain road between the mountains. At this time, the grass and trees in the mountains were all withered and yellow, and the wind was filled with a bleak and murderous atmosphere.After walking five or six hundred miles, the King of Yan led his troops to the city of Daning.The gates of Daning were tightly shut. The King of Yan looked up from his horse and saw soldiers standing on the city wall, with flags and banners everywhere, ready for battle. A man in a red robe stood out.Prince Yan stopped his attendants and rode alone towards the city wall. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the young man in the red dragon robe was none other than Prince Ning, Zhu Quan.Zhu Quan also saw the Prince of Yan riding alone. He was facing this side and shouted, "Fourth brother, you

The government troops came from the south, and the largest number of people gathered outside the Lizheng Gate, the south gate of Peking. There were roars of artillery fire and billowing smoke outside the city, but the prince was still personally in charge at the Lizheng Gate!Zhu Gaoxu, Yao Guangxiao and others also stood beside the prince, and the people in the tower couldn't help coughing from time to time. The thick smoke from the burning gunpowder and fierce oil was very choking.The smell of burning kerosene was like a mixture of gasoline and asphalt. Zhu Gaoxu felt as if he was in a shabby thirty-year-old truck.Although the people on the tower were high up, their vision was obstructed by the thick smoke and they could not see the outside clearly. From time to time, soldiers would walk into the tower and kneel on one knee to report the situation. When the artillery fire was dense, even the voices of people were often unclear. The atmosphere around was

Qu Neng had a flat forehead and high brow bones, which made his eyes appear even deeper. He stared at the Zhangyi Gate Tower for a long time, and his eyes made the surrounding generals feel sad.His son Qu Liangcai said, "What a pity! So many brothers died in vain, and still failed!"A general next to him simply cursed, "Li Jinglong, damn it, is it so difficult to send some reinforcements?!"Qu Liangcai pondered, "Father gave frank advice in Hejian Prefecture, which seemed to have offended Duke Cao. I heard that Duke Cao is narrow-minded, is he deliberately doing something bad behind my back?"The general just now angrily cursed, "His brain was kicked by a donkey! We conquered Peking, but the greatest credit should go to Li Jinglong, right?"Qu Neng sighed, retracted his gaze, turned his horse around, and raised his arm to stop his generals, "Duke Cao would not do this, maybe there was a mistake in the transmission of military orders. Stop talkin

The east was already turning white, and it was early morning. A cold mist enveloped the city of Peking. The fighting during the day had temporarily subsided, leaving only the faint groans of pain in the darkness. The smell of gunpowder and blood in the air remained in the mist after a night.Suddenly, a loud shout came from the army camp, "The commander is missing!"The soldiers were horrified and searched everywhere in the camp. Soon after, the generals of each camp also arrived at the central army one after another. How could they find the commander Li Jinglong?The generals looked at each other in bewilderment, all in a daze in the big tent, not knowing what to do for a moment. At this time, a general said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the commander-in-chief has already fled overnight..."There was an uproar in the tent, and soon several generals hurriedly lifted the oilcloth and left without saying a word. Everyone came to their senses and hurried t

Snowflakes were floating slowly in the air. The snow was not falling densely, but it never stopped for a moment.The roofs of houses everywhere in Peking were covered with snow, and it looked like a vast expanse of white. It was almost the end of the year, and the red lanterns dotted around added a bit of color.A group of people holding umbrellas walked into the gatehouse of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and then walked west for a while along the road that had been cleared of snow. The old monk holding a Zen stick in front was Yao Guangxiao. He brought a few people to a gate, put away his umbrella, and handed it to the novice monk next to him.The little monk and the other two people did not go in, only Yao Guangxiao walked into that door.After a while, Yuan Gong and a civil servant came to greet him. Yuan Gong wore a black gauze cap and a round-collared robe. He used to be a fortune teller, but now he is the chief official of the royal palace and has

"Clang..." Every time Zhu Gaoxu took a step, he could hear the sound of his boots crushing the snow.The road surface cannot be seen in the snow. Only when you step on it carefully and feel the solid road surface will you feel at ease.He lowered his head to look at the road and said nothing more. The past events came back to his mind one after another, and many things he had seen and hadn't seen slowly connected into one piece like knitting a sweater.Junying grass is the modern lily of the valley, and the whole plant is poisonous. It is very common in modern times, but it was considered a rare thing in ancient times. Zhu Gaoxu only dabbled in it because of his hobby.When Zhu Gaoxu was in Nanjing, he saw the little white flower blooming in the corner for the first time and knew what it was; he didn't think of its use at the time. That's why he talked about it in front of Du Qianrui and teased the servants who were spreading rumors in the corner.
