Seiwa

In the West Nuan Pavilion of the Chengyun Palace of King Yan’s Mansion, Zhang Yu, the number one general under King Yan’s command, made an impassioned speech, vowing to lead his troops into Baoding Mansion and hold them firmly like a nail. If the imperial army dares to come, I promise to poke a hole in them!

Zhu Gaoxu was also full of excitement, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Father, please order your son to go with General Zhang, and he will definitely break his front and destroy his sharpness!"

All the generals present also called for the battle. There was only one main idea. If the imperial army dared to enter Hebei, they would definitely let them come and go!

Since entering the Xinuang Pavilion, Meng Qinghe has been standing beside Shen Xuan without making a sound.

He hasn't quite figured out the situation yet. Is this the swearing-in meeting?The imperial army is coming?Glancing at Zheng He, he is not authentic, so he should remind him.

Zheng He said that when he went to find people, everyone's emotions were not so out of control.

Meng Qinghe had no choice, no matter how many questions he had, he had to swallow them back into his throat.Those who are higher than him stretch their necks to express their determination, follow the trend, raise their fists, and shout together.Anyway, he is under Shen Xuan's command, so Shen Xuan can do whatever he wants.

King Yan sat at the top, very satisfied with the high fighting spirit of his generals, pressed his hands down, and the room suddenly became quiet.

The determination has been expressed, the boss is going to speak.

"I heard a secret report today that the imperial court has combined 60 soldiers, starting from Dezhou, and marching into Zhending, Baoding, and Hejian to plan Beiping! I just want to wait for work at leisure, destroy the crowd, seize the army, and complete my meritorious service in one battle."

In short, the Southern Army led by Li Jinglong has come to the door, and it must be fought!Arrange defenses at each strategic point first, and stay behind when they come.

All the generals applaud, the prince is wise!

Immediately afterwards, Yan Wang threw out the second step of the plan.

"After this war, if I want to go to Dezhou alone, I will go to Jinan!"

Always fighting and killing on his own territory is not in line with King Yan's style of doing things. He must go out of Hebei and enter Shandong!

Conquering Dezhou can cut off the retreat of the imperial army, and by the way, accept the military supplies hoarded in Dezhou, and the personnel and food are all available.Then go to Jinan, occupy the waterway hub between Hebei and Nanjing, and formally show the muscles of the Yan army to the imperial court.

Isn't Zhu Yunwen, a yellow-mouthed kid, very proud?Sending hundreds of thousands of troops to his territory to fight and kill is a show of prestige.If he comes and does not go indecently, if he doesn't shoot a few arrows and blast a few cannons on Zhu Yunqi's territory, he is not Zhu Di!

All the generals raised their arms high, the prince is mighty!

King Yan coughed, and made a final conclusion, "Following the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao, we must wipe out the traitors in the court, clean up the king's side, and clean up the universe!"

In a word, Zhu Di's ambition was completely exposed.

He wants to go to Nanjing and go to the Ninth Five-Year Plan!As for that yellow-mouthed child Zhu Yunwen, let's rest wherever it's cool!

The generals once again exploded with passion, the prince is wise, the prince is mighty, and the prince is thousand years old!

Zhang Yu stopped shouting to enter Baoding, he wanted to go directly to Baigou River and go to the front line!

It is said that Li Jinglong plans to fight at the Baigou River. Isn't it better to lay down an ambush here than to defend the city?Even people like Zhang Yu started to "compete for merit", and those with a more impatient temper would not be left behind.

Zhu Neng's voice was the loudest, and he also yelled to go to Baigouhe.

Xu Zhongren was really determined, and the two lieutenants Chen Wen and Wu Da didn't dare to compete with veterans like Zhang Yuzhu Neng, so they took a step back and used it as a background.

Although Fang Kuan was a general, he joined the army after King Jingnan of Yan raised his troops. He wanted to argue with him, but Zhu Neng's loud roar immediately extinguished the fire, and he could only watch helplessly.

Others such as Chen Heng, Chen Hui, Teng Ju, etc. naturally have no strength to compete with Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

The scene seemed lively and the competition was fierce, but in fact, only Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng really wanted to compare their strengths and weaknesses.The others all beat the side drums, echoed a few words, and showed their loyalty to King Yan by the way, and the goal was achieved.

Zhang Yuzhu can't stop arguing, but Yan Wang is as stable as Mount Tai.

Monk Daoyan sat on one side, also unaffected by the general noise of the vegetable market.The great monk looked kindly, glanced over the crowd, fixed his target, and smiled slightly.

Meng Qinghe was clever, without raising his head, he subconsciously hid behind Shen Xuan.

Hidden, but also feel wrong.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, and no one noticed this corner.

Shen Xuan gave him a strange look, Meng Qinghe grinned wryly, could he tell Shen Xuan that he was being targeted by a certain unclean monk, and he was going to drag him into a bad sect?

Although Monk Daoyan had a good death in Yongle Dynasty, it does not mean that the people around him will also be safe and sound.Zheng He was an exception, he was the eunuch that Emperor Yongle used heavily, otherwise it would not be his turn to lead the fleet to the West.

Who can guarantee that he also has the luck of Zheng He?

After Yongle ascended the throne, why did Daoyan live in the temple, living and dying without growing hair or returning to vulgarity?

Is it really because he has a Buddha in his heart?

Meng Qinghe didn't believe it.

If Dao Yan had the belief of saving all sentient beings with compassion, he would not have spent more than ten years instigating King Yan to rebel.Eighty percent of it is also to avoid the emperor's suspicion, to avoid disaster.

Think about it, a monk has no family, no children, and even his clan members have severed ties with him. He sleeps in the monk's temple during the day and night, and his daily entertainment is not only to advise the emperor, but also to chant scriptures. What is there to be suspicious of such a person?

The only thing Emperor Yong Le needs to worry about is that this monk will fight for the cause of rebellion all his life, and then encourage other people to rebel against him.

This possibility is very small, Zhu Di is not Zhu Yunqi, and Dao Yan's age is also there. How can an old monk who is 70 or [-] years old still have the energy?

Therefore, Dao Yan is safe, and Zheng He, who is an eunuch, has no worries about his life.

Meng Qinghe was not any of them.

He likes men, and he is destined to lose his children and grandchildren.But he still has a family, a tribe, and he still has to take care of his mother and prepare ten miles of red makeup for his two nieces.There are too many things he has to worry about. Like Dao Yan, "pure heart and few desires" to live in the monk's temple?Totally impossible.

Therefore, this teacher, he is determined not to worship!He is determined not to join the bad sect of the Great Monk!

He still has a wonderful life, and there are beauties to accompany him, so go to his monk temple!

Meng Qinghe lowered his head, pretending that he was a pillar, a featureless backdrop.He said silently in his heart, don't look at him, there are so many good talents present, compared with him, he is a piece of dust.

Dao Yan withdrew his gaze, and his smile deepened.Strong-willed, that's fine.Good talent and beautiful jade always take some time to carve.

If he knew what Dao Yan was thinking at the moment, Meng Twelve Lang would burst into tears, and find a brick to beat himself to death.

Why are you pretending to be low-key? !

Shen Xuan turned sideways, and shook Meng Qinghe's hand at an angle that no one could see.

Meng Qinghe's eyes widened, and his eyes fell on Shen Xuan's back, his eyes were burning, and he almost saw a flower on Commander Shen's back.

To comfort him?Absolutely!

Shen Xuan didn't look back, and frowned, why did he suddenly feel a little hot?

The occasion was wrong, Meng Qinghe didn't dare to go too far, and quickly looked away.Pressing the right hand with the left hand, it seems that he can still feel the warmth that just covered the back of the hand.

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng finally competed. The King of Yan ordered Zhang Yu to be the vanguard and lead the troops to station at Baigou River to wait for the imperial army.Although Zhu Neng is not reconciled, he has a bold personality after all, and it doesn't matter if he can't win the striker, as long as there is a battle to fight.

The battle for the vanguard came to an end, King Yan ordered the battle plan in an orderly manner, and all the generals took orders one by one.The victory of this battle is very important, no matter what kind of thoughts they have in private, they must be twisted together now.To argue for right and wrong, we must wait until the battle is over and the Yan army wins.

As the deputy general, the Yanshan guard led by Shen Xuan will follow Zhang Yu.The other lieutenant, Zheng Heng, took a step back and went to Zhending to join Xu Zhong's former army, and cooperated with Zhang Yu's vanguard to open pockets at the Baigou River, waiting for the imperial army to step into the trap.

Meng Qinghe's assigned combat mission was to escort the army to transport food and grass, and it is reported that Commander Shen personally ordered it.

"There is nothing wrong with transporting food as long as it is transported."

Thinking about it carefully, this is also Shen Xuan taking care of him.From Beiping to Baigou River, all the way is the territory of King Yan. Unless the imperial army can fly, the team transporting grain and grass will basically not encounter any danger.

The two promotion officers were acquaintances of Meng Qinghe. When they were in the palace, they rolled up their arms and sleeves together, arguing over several figures and loads of food.Meng Twelve Lang completely shocked everyone with his cross-age wisdom. The aftereffect is that once the promotion officer of the Yanshan Guard encounters any problems related to numbers, he will come to Meng Chen with a notebook.

Those who are capable work harder, which is most truly reflected in the Meng Chen incident.

The Yan army mobilized their horses and redoubled their efforts, and set off with the whole army.

Li Jinglong from Dezhou was also not idle. After the 60 troops arrived, he held a swearing-in meeting to lament the various crimes of King Yan and his disloyalty to the court. With his upright appearance, he successfully inspired the Southern Army morale.

Marquis Guo Ying of Wuding, Marquis of Anlu Wu Jie, Governors Pingan and Qu Neng led all the troops to stand ready.Xu Huizu did not show up for a long time.Li Jinglong once delivered a memorial to the imperial court for this, but if he did not arrive within the scheduled date, he violated the military order and must be severely punished!

Li Jinglong will become very smart when it comes to political issues.

The memorial only asked about military orders, and did not mention the relationship between Xu Huizu and Zhu Di at all.It is true that Xu Huizu is Zhu Di's brother-in-law, but Li Jinglong is also Zhu Di's cousin.What should we say about Xu Huizu abolishing the public because of private interests, and Li Jinglong's consecutive defeats with Zheng Cunba under the city of Beiping?

The court officials are best at catching wind and shadows, and they can break out three points even if nothing happens.Li Jinglong didn't forget how he teamed up with Huang Zicheng to overthrow Geng Bingwen, and he didn't want to follow in Geng Bingwen's footsteps.Whether Emperor Jianwen dealt with Xu Huizu or not, once the memorial was handed over, the responsibility would not be on him.

Nanjing's reply came quickly, and it was written by Emperor Jianwen.

"Wei Guogong has other arrangements."

Any other arrangements?

Li Jinglong couldn't figure it out, the army was about to start, and he didn't have the heart to summon the generals to discuss it, so he simply stated the content of the handwriting as it was written, and if anyone asked about Wei Guogong, he would answer "other arrangements".

Ask again, Li Jinglong stared at the military plane?Pull it out and hit the army stick!

After a few times, Li Jinglong reshaped the majesty of the coach who was on the verge of bankruptcy. Once the military order was issued, no generals would procrastinate.

Throughout March, the Yan army and the imperial army were making final preparations for the upcoming war.

The armor is polished, the sword is sharpened, the spear is prepared, the soldiers are drilled every day, and the horses are carefully cared for.The firearms battalion was doing the final inspection, and the gunpowder and iron balls were loaded into the chariot respectively, waiting for the moment when the commander gave the order.

King Yan could know Li Jinglong's preset battlefield from intelligence, and Li Jinglong also knew that his plan could not be hidden from King Yan.

Both sides have no way out, they can only open their fangs like tigers and leopards in battle, pounce on the opponent with the most ferocity, step on the enemy's bones, and win the final victory in blood.

In April of the second year of Jianwen, the imperial army stationed in Dezhou finally set off and marched into Hebei.

King Yan adjusted the battle plan. Considering that his own troops were insufficient and most of them were cavalry, Zhu Di believed that it was not cost-effective to divide his troops to garrison the city.

In this way, the imperial army entered Hebei, crossed the river, broke the Baoding, and made the Zhending without much resistance.

Li Jinglong wanted to order soldiers to enter the city, completely occupy the city, and show their merits to the court, but Guo Ying, Pingan and others worked together to stop it.Show merit without fighting a battle?Absolutely not!Do you want to divide troops into the station?Even more impossible!

"I'm going to frighten Yan with a large number of generals. Dividing up the troops is self-defeating, which is really not advisable."

Guo Ying's words were euphemistic, but Qu Neng's words would be simpler and clearer.

The king of Yan was good at fighting, and the frontier army was fierce and brave. Before that, the 50 army was driven out of Hebei by the 30 Yan army. Now the king of Yan has 60 generals, which is even more difficult to deal with.The imperial army is said to be in the millions, but it is only [-], and they have to be divided up. Isn't it courting death?The combat power of individual soldiers is not as good as that of the opponent, and only by relying on superior forces can there be a chance of victory.

"This is probably Yan Ni's plan!"

Wu Shi, the Marquis of Anlu, fought against Yan's army and was defeated twice from Zhending City, which left him with a very deep memory.The Yan army is top-notch in field battles, and the defense of the city is also not weak. It must be a trap to break the city so easily!

Li Jinglong's feverish head calmed down, and he judged the situation, thinking that the words of several people made sense.

The governor Pingan added a sentence at the right time, which completely woke up Li Jinglong.

As long as the main force of the Yan army is defeated, Beiping will be taken, and Zhending and other places will be returned later, isn't it easy?Why bother to express merit at this time?

"Ping Dudu's words are very kind!"

Li Jinglong immediately decided to keep only a small number of troops to prevent Yan Ni from attacking from behind, and the army immediately accelerated to Baigou River to fight to the death with Yan's army.

60 against 30, plus Guo Yingping and other good generals, Li Jinglong vowed to defeat Yan Ni!

He didn't believe it anymore, he couldn't beat Zhu Di, and these good generals would continue to suffer defeats.

He has been "bearing the burden of humiliation" for a long time, allowing Guo Ying, Wu Jie and others to seize power, determined to keep quiet, just for a victory.

Is it easy for him to knock out teeth and swallow blood? !

At the end of April, the imperial army finally arrived at Baigou River.

The forward troops led by Governor Ping An encountered Zhang Yu's pre-set ambushes. In a small-scale encounter, the two sides fought evenly. Ping An showed bravery and military talent that even made Zhu Di afraid.

It was not Shen Xuan who led the battle against Ping An, but Zhang Yu's other lieutenant, Zheng Heng.This battle is also for the two sides to test each other's strength, and the result makes each other feel scared.

The Yan army has always been tough, and it is not just empty talk that it wins more with less. It relies on strength.

The soldiers under Ping'an's command let Zheng Hengshi kick to the iron plate.

At a stalemate, the two sides quickly called for gold to withdraw their troops, each gathered the wounded soldiers, and waited for all the troops to arrive before fighting.

Knowing the situation of the battle, Zhang Yu was very surprised.He never imagined that his side would fight like this.

Zheng Heng's face was full of shame, he wanted to show his face, but what happened?The face is exposed, the benefits are not gained, but it is sent up to give people a slap in the face.

There were two pops, very loud.

Shen Xuan has no expression on his face, but any expression of complacency will completely offend Zheng Heng.

As the vice-general of the Chinese army, Shen commanded Lien Chan and made numerous contributions. Apart from dedicating the city, it can be said that Zheng Heng has not accomplished an inch of merit. How can he be reconciled?

After a long silence in the tent, Zhang Yu got up and personally helped Zheng Heng, who was pleading guilty, and comforted him. It was not a brother's problem. No one could have imagined that Ping An was so good at fighting.This battle also proved the falsehood of the Southern Army.A tie now is better than being caught off guard in a decisive battle with the army.

Zhang Yu speaks very well, not only comforting Zheng Heng's wounded heart, but also elevating his personality in an instant. Vice General Zheng has sacrificed face and made sacrifices for the prince's great cause.Must praise!

After saying these words, Zheng Heng's face turned red.

Shen Xuan said in a timely manner that the spirit of sacrifice of Vice General Zheng is worth learning from.

Zheng Heng was so excited that his eyes were full of tears, and the three people in the tent looked at each other with hands in hand, and vowed together that they would unite tightly under the banner of Jing Nan, shed their blood for the great cause of rebellion, and fight to the end!

Meng Qinghe had just received a new batch of grain and grass, and was planning to come to report.Walking to the front of the military tent, seeing the situation inside through the drawn curtain, he grabbed the soldier who was going to report to the account.

He had just seen the wounded soldiers transported back to the battalion, and learned from the Yanshan guards who participated in the battle that these southern troops were different from the past, especially the generals who led the charge were extremely brave.

"Looking at it humbly, it's actually on par with Commander Shen."

Force value comparable to Shen Xuan?

Meng Qinghe's expression became solemn. It seemed that this battle was more difficult than he had imagined, and the outcome was really unpredictable.Emperor Yong Le won in the end, but he also encountered setbacks in the middle of Jing Nan.Otherwise, how could Emperor Jianwen sit on the dragon chair for four years?

Did Shen Xuan have thought of this a long time ago and arranged for him to escort the army rations?After all, as the commander of the Yanshan guard, if he is incorporated into the forward army, he must take the lead when charging.

With Meng Twelve Lang's force value, if he encounters a fierce general like Ping An, it's just a matter of one shot or another shot.

Thinking of this, Meng Qinghe clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The problem of food and grass can be reported later. He has to think about it carefully and figure out what he should do.

That night, Shen Xuan returned to the big tent and found Meng Qinghe waiting for him.

"Is something wrong?"

"No."

"No?"

Shen Xuan loosened his cuffs, the silhouette was reflected on the tent, and under the light of the fire, it continued to elongate.

King Yan's army camped at Sujiaqiao, the battle will start tomorrow, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Shen Xuan sat on the edge of the couch, Meng Qinghe took the initiative to lean over, boldly put on Commander Shen's shoulders, his movements were a little stiff, and his palms were sweating.

"Commander," Meng Qinghe twitched the corners of his mouth, meeting those dark eyes, "...Ziyu."

A big hand suddenly clasped the back of Meng Qinghe's neck, and gently pinched the back of his neck with thin callused fingertips, pressing slowly, with a sense of comfort.The stiff shoulders and neck were relaxed, but the words that were ready were forgotten in an instant.

"Don't worry." Shen Xuan supported the back of Meng Qinghe's neck, lowered his head, and nodded his mouth.

Meng Qinghe didn't make a sound, stretched his arms around Shen Xuan's shoulder, and kissed his lips.

Soldiers patrolling the battalion passed by outside the tent, Shen Xuan stepped back slightly, pulled Meng Qinghe away, pinched his chin, "Have you used the medicine Doctor Zhao gave?"

Meng Qinghe: "..."

Is it time to say this?

Commander Shen frowned, useless?

Meng Twelve Lang honestly retracted his claws, took out the medicine bottle, uncorked the bottle, poured out two pills, frowned and swallowed it into his mouth.

so bitter!

A glass of water was handed in front of him, and the fingers holding the edge of the glass were long and slender.

Meng Qinghe knew how powerful this hand was.

"Take the medicine, sleep for a while." Shen Xuan sat down again, "Tomorrow you stay in the camp."

"I……"

"kindness?"

"Follow the order."

"it is good."

Following Meng Qinghe's instructions, Commander Shen was very satisfied.

Meng Twelve Lang was speechless, did he think he was a cat?

Lying down speechless, listening to the footsteps outside the tent, his consciousness gradually became drowsy, and he fell asleep very quickly.

Meng Qinghe's breathing gradually stabilized, Shen Xuan turned around, stroked Meng Qinghe's forehead with one hand, and lightly kissed him on the brow.

He will win.

The next day, at dawn, the banner of the Yan Army was raised.

The king of Yan ordered his troops to fight against the imperial army.

After crossing the Sujia Bridge, the vanguard led by Ping An had already launched an attack first.

Holding a long spear, Pingan took the lead and led all the cavalry under his command to rush into the Yan army formation in a cone formation.It is said that the enemy's road is narrow, and it is Zheng Heng who was rushed by Ping An.

Zheng Heng raised his beard and eyebrows together.What's the matter, do you really think he is easy to bully? !

Immediately ordered to get out of the front, let Pingan enter the battle, and then initiate a siege on the left and right flanks, and at the same time send people to ask Shen Xuan to come to support, cut off Ping'an's back, and make his dumplings.

Come in, don't even think about leaving!

Zheng Heng thought very well. He almost spent all his money in order to trap Pingan. He swung his sword and found that he couldn't stop him.

As long as Ping'an is killed, the Southern Army will be defeated without a leader!

It's a pity that Zheng Heng still underestimated Ping'an's force value. How could the fierce man who can make Zhu Di miss him be a good stubble?No matter how many come, basically one shot at a time, and the accuracy is extremely fast.

Want to exhaust him with crowd tactics?

Ping'an waved his spear and gave Zheng Heng a thumbs down, dreaming!

Under the leadership of the general, the imperial army that had been suppressed by the Yan army suddenly broke out with terrifying fighting power.

Don't stop cooking while being pressed, but explode while being pressed.

The little daughter-in-law has done enough, she must be aggressive!

So, little daughter-in-law... No, the imperial army broke out.

Zheng Heng gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and the reinforcements sent by Zhang Yu were also confused by the situation on the battlefield.

Have you ever seen a group of rabbits chasing after wolves to make a brick?

Right in front of you.

Ping'an became more and more courageous in the battle, and the spears swept across, and the Yan troops around him fell from their horses one after another.If it weren't for Qianhu Huaju's desperate rescue, Zheng Heng would probably be heroic on the spot.

Shen Xuan, who cut off Ping'an's back, also ran into trouble, and Qu Neng and his son led troops to surround him.Thinking of a tackle back?Let's go through their level first!

In Zheng Heng's formation, peace is like a deer and a tiger.

In front of Qu Neng and his son, Shen Xuan is like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep.

The battle situation became more and more chaotic, Yan Wang and Li Jinglong continued to order more troops, and the battle circle continued to expand.

The generals in Li Jinglong's army went to battle one after another, and none of the generals under King Yan didn't rest.In the end, King Yan went into battle in leather armor and led the cavalry into the enemy's formation, immediately attracting countless firepower.

Tens of 10 people were strangled together, the shouts of killing rushed into the sky, and the river was stained red with blood.

It was rare for Li Jinglong to spot a fighter, decisively ordered the Chinese army to fight, and launched a general attack on the Yan army.
