[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

gone.

This is just a small farce, not worth remembering, and King Ning will forget it afterward.But this prodigal woman named Xiaoxiao is very popular in the town, and her deeds are spread wildly in the town. Jin Yiwei has many eyes and ears, and reported the matter to her superiors. Three days and three nights stand for women.Ji Rong has a keen intuition, and when he passed by Baoding Mansion on his way back to Beijing from Nanchang, he deliberately checked the gossip and told Xiaoxiao to shut up forever.

After Zhu Houzhao heard Ji Rong tell the ins and outs of this folk anecdote, it was already night, and the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit. He sat in front of the desk and recalled Ji Rong repeating what the woman said. The beautiful brother's eyes are light brown, even Hair is lighter than normal.He fiddled with the paperweight repeatedly, sitting alone in the palace.King Ning stays around the capital without going back to the feudal land. He is not spying on the movement of the court. Could it be that he still misses himself? If such ambitions are indulged, what will be the result? I am afraid that King Ning, who is extremely intelligent, has planned it a long time ago. It's all right, Zhu Houzhao was just suffering and confused at first, but now that he thinks about this affection carefully, he actually feels his own persistence and ruthlessness. The love that he thought could be forgotten today has been dissolved into the bone and hemorrhage. Since it cannot be cut off, then Fighting for a result, Zhu Houzhao stood up and walked on the white marble stone steps outside the palace gate. It was full moon again, time passed, and this heart could not be changed again.

Uncle Huang, how can he surrender, how can he surrender, is it not strong enough to rule the country by himself, punish foreign enemies, and repair internal affairs? Do you have to fight in battle to determine the winner, you will... Don't force me, uncle shot...

Unknown whereabouts leaked, King Ning was still in Baoding Mansion, a piece of residual flowers blown in by the wind outside the window fell on his scroll, and the Oirat army was annihilated outside the Great Wall, a moment of hesitation in exchange for a difficult and passive situation, maybe all these years of management were in vain , he looked at half of the remaining flowers, and thought of Ban Que Ci, holding wine for the king to persuade the setting sun, and taking evening photos among the flowers, it is rare to be confused about the unknown future.

"My lord! My lord!" Ning Wang asked and stood up, and Luo Hua was involved in the book with him.Shan Zhou came in hurriedly, "My lord, King Anhua was executed in the capital, he expelled the vassals and nobles, and his bones and ashes were thrown away." King Zheng, King Gu, King Liao, King Han, King Chen, these vassal kings, these brothers and nephews, and the descendants of the Zhu surname have all been ruined under the imperial power. Love, he can understand these royal relatives too well, but how can he not know about Zhu Houzhao, so he pushes himself, no one in the world looks at him now, King Ning has the most land, a large number of people, strong financial resources, and is praised by the wise, The merits are obvious to all. He has everything he planned at the beginning, and he will only have the highest position in the world. Zhu Houzhao has been showing weakness for many years. After mastering most of it, there is no turning back in the current situation. If you hesitate next time, you will truly be lost forever.

"My lord!" Ye Zi also rushed over, she looked nervous, "Li Qingzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, was demoted by the emperor, and the imperial decree ordered him not to go out of Beijing at sunrise, but to return to his hometown, and not to stay!" Ye Zi did not dare to delay, and reported the truth.

"What?!" King Ning threw away the scroll in his hand, and was shocked to learn of these unfavorable news one after another. Not only was the vassal king eradicated, but even Li Ge was forced to leave the capital. , one person exclusively enjoys a high position and absolute power.

"My lord, there are unknown people outside spying on this place." Shan Zhou, who went back and forth, reported the changes outside. "Could it be that our whereabouts have been discovered?"

"Hmph! Can't this king hurry back to Nanchang? So what if you find out? So what if the emperor is here?" King Ning frowned, furious.Not returning to the feudal land is an obvious violation of the system. According to the emperor's method of dealing with the kings, even ten Ning feudal clans could not withstand the thunderous wrath of the emperor.King Ning took a few deep breaths, and found that he couldn't calm down his anger. He ordered his subordinates, "Depart tomorrow! Depart for Nanchang!" Returning to the fief that he has operated for many years, he must make a splash!

The spring rain fell, and Zhu Houzhao stayed up all night. He was not inside the palace walls, but in the Ningwang Mansion in the middle of the capital. In Wang's study room, those land deeds and land deeds have been placed on the table alone by Ji Rong. Zhu Houzhao flipped through them a little. He is really an incomparably rich emperor. He personally tidied up those scattered books and put them back in order.

In the palace recently, I don’t know where my heart is wandering. The battlefield, the mountains and rivers, the misty rain, the beauty, and the complicated government affairs do not have the pleasure of being in charge of the world. All emotions are tied by one person. Zhu Houzhao sometimes envies King Ning very much, so pure Only thinking about one thing and one thing, Yuxi's throne will not betray, only loyal to those who hold it firmly.

Zhu Houzhao is sitting in the garden of the Wangfu. He is no stranger to this place. He used to feel that the garden is full of green leaves but no famous flowers. Is there any beautiful flower that can match the owner of the Wangfu? Deliberately look back at the major state affairs in the past few days.

Li Qingzheng, who had made several official petitions, finally obtained the emperor's permission. A few days ago, he came to Qianqing Palace to bid farewell, weeping, "I only hope that the world will be peaceful. Obedience to orthodoxy is the cornerstone of my great Ming Dynasty forever."

Zhu Houzhao helped him up, "The old minister is ashamed of the emperor, ashamed of the former emperor." Li Qingzheng's temples were already graying, and his earnest words were even more moving, "Your Majesty, you should not stop, but you will suffer from it. You work hard, Praise from all over the world, don't be kind for a while, and indulge the country's troubles." Zhu Houzhao, who was about to tell each other his heart, heard this euphemistic and cryptic advice, and suddenly his heart sank. Eyebrows gradually darkened, Li Qingzheng still spoke with great emotion and painstaking effort, the long talk was only about one person, King Ning.

Who in the world knows the threat of King Ning best? It is not the cabinet officials who deal with government affairs, or the people who suffer from the exploitation of Ning Fan, but Zhu Houzhao. He invited King Ning to participate in politics, rewarded him with countless graces, and allowed him to be domineering Little by little, the lineage of King Ning Xian, who suppressed the fear of his ancestors to suffocation, has changed from an idle wealthy royal family to the biggest threat to the throne. In the past, several vassal kings or four kings in a group were no match for the current King Ning, let alone King Ning still holds Zhu Houzhao's Achilles' heel - affection, although he doesn't care.Whoever hurts King Ning in front of the emperor is criticizing the emperor's mistakes, and also Zhu Houzhao's hidden strong emotions that cannot be vented. The most important love in this life.This can only be done by oneself, and no one can interfere.

"Old Li Ge's play, I know." That "Jiangshan trouble" was watching my good show with a smile on his face in Baoding Mansion, and he was so upset that he didn't know how to treat him. I don't know. You are needed to be talkative and point fingers, Zhu Houzhao replied coldly, leaving behind Li Qingzheng's contributions over the years. "It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't want to listen today. The old minister is already a man of the land, so he can disregard his own life, but the Ming Dynasty can't disregard it. The revolution started in the early days, and fighting in the ranks. How many years have it been before this world, and the people of all generations have worked hard to have this peaceful year. Jing, Your Majesty, Daming can't afford to go through the flames of war, so don't fall into the fire and water!" Li Qingzheng was filled with grief and indignation.He Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was able to search for him in the whole city, he came to the mansion to bribe and warn him like no one else was there, and then set fire to the capital in a grandiose manner and left in arrogance.But the emperor turned a blind eye and did nothing. Was it because of the rumors that he was stupid or something?How could the clever and studious prince and the diligent emperor be so ignorant about this matter? Could it be that he really had to change hands to know the tragedy of his ruin, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the late emperor loved you so much when he was dying?" What did you say, huh?" Li Qingzheng said movedly, that day he and Zhu Houzhao were in front of the late emperor's sick bed together, sending away a generation of Mingjun with tears and choked up.

Zhu Houzhao's memory was brought back to that night of torrential rain. His ardent and infinite father was his only family affection. He lost his father's love and had to drift in the world, going around for many years. He couldn't help but wonder if even the emperor can't have emotions.Just like the death of the father, once the owner changes, how many people in the world will mourn for themselves.The more discerning the absurd, the more pretentiously calm, the more unable to withstand other people's pointing, Zhu Houzhao's indifferent attitude, so that Li Qingzheng almost lost control of his emotions, the monarch and his ministers broke up unhappy, and the farewell became the emperor's thunderous anger. Because of this, Zhu Houzhao just found an excuse to drive Li Qingzheng out of the capital, and a generation of famous officials who had power for a while left the political arena sadly.

When he left the capital, he walked through Chongwen Gate. The scorched earth was full of hardworking people. The city gate was being rebuilt in full swing. Li Qingzheng walked out of the city on purpose. He looked back at the city and smiled with satisfaction. , Ambition and orthodoxy, a secret contest has emerged. War breaks out at any time. Ordinary people can't predict what will happen next, and it's hard to guarantee a good end if they intervene. I don't know that young man has already fallen into it, so I don't need to go to the Zhu family's power battle again.

Zhu Houzhao lay down under the tree, as if he was tired from wandering outside Guanzizai Academy many years ago. He used the ground as a seat and covered his sight with his hands. Li Qingzheng received the benefits of King Ning and tried his best to assist the government. Suffering from a serious old disease, he handed over all the silver taels presented to him by King Ning. Leaving like this is the best way to protect himself wisely.They are all veterans who are good at scheming and calculating people's hearts. He laughed at himself. Although he rejected Li Ge's advice head-on, he was very clear in his heart, more clear than ever before. People's hearts were deceived by him, and all he wanted was an opportunity. Although he didn't attack for some reason when he personally conquered Wala a month ago, Zhu Houzhao was sure that if there was another chance, King Ning would never let it go.

The spring plowing season coincided with the spring rain, and the fields were busy. Many farmers were working on the fields. King Ning watched the people from a distance in the carriage, and he didn't care if the drizzle blew in and wet his shoulders.How many years has it been on this journey, and is there still a way back?

"My lord! There are rumors in the capital that the emperor wants to cut down your domain!" The spies reported the raging rumors in the capital to King Ning.King Ning's eyes froze, Li Ge left, the emperor reorganized the cabinet, and became more powerful. Such rumors will not be spread sooner or later, but at this time, there is a commotion, isn't it deliberately arranged by someone?

While thinking about it, Shan Zhou presented the letter sent by Feige to King Ning. King Ning opened it, and his face became more gloomy.Without the emperor's permission, who would dare to be so presumptuous.King Ning immediately ordered Shan Zhou to reply to Jin Xuan who was stationed in the palace, "Whoever dares to restrict the people in the palace will be killed!" He had just finished the order when the heavy rain came instantly, and the whole group was soaked. She gasped, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei in the capital city sent two groups of troops to Nanchang with orders to summon King Ning, and another group led by Ji Rong himself, heading towards Baoding Mansion. His subordinates tried their best to overtake them. Only by leaving behind can I report to the prince here."

It was raining heavily, and the people who were working just now did not know where to take shelter from the rain. The fields in all directions were all white, and they could not even distinguish the way ahead. King Ning leaned against the carriage, and the wind and rain blew in. Half of his body was covered. Wet, different from the gloom and anger just now, now his expression is cold and cold, with a bit of depression.

Zhu Houzhao, you have treated me like this, the majestic Prince Ming, I was tortured to the end of my life by you under house arrest.Or are you finally getting your hands on it?Forget it, you and I need an end to the struggle for power.Over the years, King Ning couldn't figure out how many opportunities he had to kill Zhu Houzhao, but this time, he finally stopped hesitating!He leaned back against the carriage, closed his eyes, and the wheels swayed, and he swayed slightly. The dark carriage was filled with long-lasting ambergris, but King Ning couldn't detect it, and the strangle marks on his wrists were still intact. Yuu, the old wound on his chest hurts so much, as long as he gets entangled with Zhu Houzhao, this kind of physical imprint will never be erased, and King Ning never wants to tangle with him again.The day that I have imagined and thought about countless days and nights for many years has finally arrived, and I only went to a fated gunpowder battle for myself.

After the war with Wala, he celebrated his achievements and rewards, punished King Anhua for rebellion, and cleaned up the aftermath. Under the illusion of relaxing King Ning’s vigilance by playing too much, Zhu Houzhao was extremely diligent and took the opportunity to reform Ming’s military regulations, deployment, drills, weapons and other important tasks. After their own conquests and inspections, the frontier army has replaced the generals they cultivated, and now they have broken up and reorganized the garrison troops in various places, and then attacked Oara and suppressed King Anhua. Organize and deploy defenses according to the emperor's own wishes.The implementation of reforms has always been fraught with obstacles, but the emperor's personal conquests and great victories have strengthened the country with force, and with the order of the emperor, the Ming army has truly become its own sharp sword.This is the real military strategy that Zhu Houzhao made in the Xuanfu in the face of the Anhua King's rebellion when he personally conquered Wala, and used war to promote a strong army.All the soldiers and horses in the world are in their own hands. If there is a disaster in the country, the sharp sword can be drawn, not just to fight but...to protect oneself.

When these major events came to an end, King Ning also learned that the people who placed the troops in the Ministry of War had already scattered and scattered. Now he was on his way back to Nanchang and settled in Le'an. Zhu Houzhao had already started the battle, obstructing all the actions of Prince Ning in Nanchang. , Pulled out the connections in the Zhongjing Army of the Ning Dynasty, and sent chasing soldiers to follow their whereabouts. In just half a year, he lined up his troops and planned strategies to shrink the forces managed by King Ning little by little, and controlled them in his hands. King Xuanning went to Beijing.If the resistance is not followed, there will be a fatal blow.Le'an City was once the vassal land of Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty. After Xuanzong's personal conquest, the vassal city was destroyed and has not been repaired until now. King Ning stood in the old place. The beacon smoke of a hundred years ago has long since dissipated, and the power struggle in the world is still going on.The king of Han was favored by his ancestors. The ruins of the palace can still see the luxury of the past, but now it is dilapidated and dilapidated. This is the end of the loser.King Ning may be the only noble relative with the surname Zhu who has come here in a hundred years. On a piece of sand, he stands against the wind. History books are full of bad deeds of King Han, but King Ning feels the same state of mind of King Han at that time, "My lord..." Shan Zhou came to ask for instructions on the next step of the journey, but he didn't dare to go in, so he had to salute King Ning from a distance.

Hearing the sound, King Ning turned his head, his eyes were sharp, and the sun shone all over his body, "Order the three armies of the Nanchang Palace to guard and recruit people, and start the incident according to this king's order. All matters have been decided by this king." Just a few words are what he has said over the years. beg.

The spring flowers bloomed and their petals withered. Zhu Houzhao in the middle of the capital held a piece of paper and watched King Ning raise his troops to condemn the words.

This day has finally come, who is the first child, and it has evolved into a full game...

In June, King Ning's troops killed the governor of Jiangxi, seized the chief envoy of Jiangxi, and occupied Nanchang.

Uncle Emperor, you and I have finally come to where we are today...

With all kinds of emotions and feelings in Zhu Houzhao's heart, he sat withered from noon to dusk, and in the end he just smiled wryly.

The setting sun and sunset glow on the Longevity Mountain, the heaven and the earth are bathed in the golden halo. This beauty of the country is always what the heroes of the world seek. How many prosperity and failures in ancient and modern times, how many winners and losers, will be submerged in history and buried in the earth. A hundred years later, How will the world speak of the present.Zhu Houzhao crushed this proclamation, let go of his five fingers, and let the wind blow away the scraps of paper. The strong wind lifted his hair, his robe, and scattered the whispering words on his lips into the distance. Uncle Emperor, you will return to my side, right...

King Ning raised his army and began to attack Nanchang. The troops were arranged by King Ning himself, and Jin Xuan served as the vanguard and went up the Ganjiang River.

King Ning was in high spirits on the horse, and he looked at the vast territory with a smug smile.Out of Jiangxi, straight to Beijing!His own army went down the Yangtze River, and once Nanjing was captured, he could be called on the same level as Zhu Houzhao in Beijing.

"How is the capital?" King Ning asked majestically.

"Five or six groups of people came to deliver the papers. People in the capital were panicked when they heard that the prince was raising troops, and the military department stayed up all night, discussing with the emperor about sending troops." Shan Zhou said.

"Hmph! It seems that Zhu Houzhao's reforms have not yielded much results. It took a long time to assemble the army. By the time his army leaves the capital, this king has already captured Yingtian Nanjing." The corners of King Ning's eyes were full of mocking smiles.

"Let your subordinates play the bandits who are entangled in the Central Plains and prevent the imperial army from going south. This king is going to take Anqing!" Since ancient times, Anqing has been guarding the gate of Nanjing, and taking this city down the river is like grabbing something.

"Yes!" Shan Zhou said loudly.

It has been ten days since the news of King Ning's rebellion in Jiangxi Province came. Wu Dayong gathered a hundred thousand troops to prepare to set off. On the day of departure, the emperor was dressed in military uniform and personally saw him off at Zhengyangmen. Zhu Houzhao seemed to have expected this day and did not Excited, he just looked at these elites lightly. Wu Dayong looked at the emperor who was dressed in a long suit and seemed to be indifferent. When he left the capital, he finally couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, I met King Ning before the battle." , what should I do?" In other words, stay or punish.At that time when Chengzu was in trouble, Emperor Jianwen ordered not to take the life of the emperor's uncle. Chengzu fought among thousands of troops. Only by obtaining this order can he survive in countless dead places, and the throne of Jianwen was taken away. The same still needs an express from the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes, but a small movement made Wu Dayong feel that the sky was unpredictable. "King Ning, you will never see him...you can just follow the established route, understand?"

Wu Dayong nodded silently.

Banners covered the sun, drums shook the sky, and the army marched out.

Twenty miles outside Anqing City, King Ning's army set up camp, and at night bonfires were lit, and soldiers patrolling the camp shuttled among them.King Ning was dressed in military uniform, standing at the gate, looking at the unreal city wall of Anqing in the distance.The double brilliance of the stars at night and the orange bonfire reflected in his eyes, making them shine brightly, and Shan Zhou and his subordinates repelled another round of Jinyiwei's prying eyes.

Your Majesty, I have declared war, you should or should not!

Now that we have reached this point, there is no turning back.King Ning made up his mind, and at dawn, he personally led the army, acting as a vanguard, and went to the city. Anqing was the gate to guard Yingtian Nanjing. The city was strong and easy to defend. The morale of the soldiers defending the city remained undiminished, and they were determined to defend to the end. The army, which was destroyed all the way like entering the land of no one, finally encountered difficulties.

There were also bloodstains on King Ning's armor, which was different from the harsh winter when he went out to fight against Wuliangha. Now the summer is warm, and even the wind is mixed with water vapor from the river. Those who blow it are almost drowning in this sticky humidity.King Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the blood on the back of his hand stained his cheeks, like the crooked rouge and heavy makeup on the face of a beauty. His face was calm, and he continued to look at the defenders in the city. , It was a great disadvantage to him. King Ning quickly calculated various strategies in his mind. When the result is unknown, all strategies have the possibility of success, but there is only one correct way of marching. Find a way out of difficulties in strategy.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, on a small boat on Poyang Lake between Anqing and Jiujiang, two figures sat side by side, "You have been in Jiangxi for so long, and they are almost going to Nanjing, why don't you Do you want to do it?" The person who spoke was dressed in monk's clothes, and he never stopped.The people beside him didn't understand, since King Ning left the capital, he also followed him to Jiangxi. He didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was now only threatened by King Ning in the great country. He has won the hearts of the people, and the southern part of the Yangtze River is already half of the territory under his control. When King Ning raised his troops in Nanchang, he wanted to kill the rebels immediately, but Zhu Houzhao, who sent him here to monitor, did not give him the edict to fight back.If he didn't understand, he could only watch King Ning's army gallop all the way to the east, silently chasing after him, and inquire about the navy and warships that King Ning had never shown.Unable to understand the posture, he slumped on the bow of the boat, looking at the dark river, "When he arrives in Nanjing, I have a way to make him go back to his lair." A joke woke him up instantly, yes, King Ning's army was murderous Hei Hei, why can he let him mess up and relieve the crisis, the only way to besiege Nanchang, his base camp!King Ning has no time to take care of him. If he returns to rescue, the crisis ahead will naturally be resolved. If King Ning insists on going his own way and does not rescue, without the rear protection, what are his chances of winning the attack? It is a great risk to go deep alone, even if he King Ning is pretentious and talented, so he has to weigh the risk of failure of the rebellion.Don't understand, one jumped up, stood on the bow of the boat, and laughed triumphantly, but after a while, his expression darkened again. The emperor sent him to stay away from the capital to watch, in fact, to keep him away from the capital and the dispute between King Ning and the emperor.The incomprehensible heart of reporting to the king has long been ignored by the emperor, and there has been no reply to the military newspaper sent to the capital for many days.Wuxiu poked the arm that he didn't understand with his elbow, "Are you hungry? If you don't eat dinner, you must be hungry, right?" Ignoring it, Wuxiu continued to talk to himself, "Hey, I knew you couldn't eat I'm done, I've finished eating for you." After speaking, he squinted and glanced at the incomprehensible reaction, there was no expected rage, only calm like the surface of the lake.Wuxiu felt discouraged, "People always think of perfection, and when making decisions, they take this into consideration. In fact, there is no such thing as a perfect decision, just like there is no such thing as a perfect person, right? ?”

"Master Wuxiu, you talked too much today, did you eat too much?" I didn't understand and finally paid attention to Wuxiu.

"No matter how much you eat, no one thinks too much. Anituofo, I have followed the benefactor for many years and traveled to many places, but I have never seen the benefactor think so much. Is the benefactor thinking for himself? Thinking for the emperor ? You don’t think about King Ning, do you?” Wuxiu shook his head.

"Think for Jiangshan!" Don't understand obviously lied. From the beginning to the end, he was only trying to figure out Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.The emperor was neither surprised nor annoyed when he saw the vassal princes making troubles, as if he was sitting on the Jinluan Palace in the capital, watching calmly.

"Think for Jiangshan, then what else are you thinking about? King Ning has rebelled, so just quell the chaos!" Wuxiu sneered, "Are you worried about the emperor now?"

"Uh, Master Wuxiu, you're actually enlightened?" I don't know how to turn my head and wink.

"What was it like when I followed the late emperor back then..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop talking, what a majesty! The wind, where is the wind?" Do not understand shouted.Hundreds of warships moored here a few days ago, but now there is no trace. They must have been ordered by King Ning to go down the river to the battlefield.He didn't understand that he didn't take action, but he was so anxious that King Ning turned his back on Jiangxi's people, and countless people became refugees. He stayed here to wait and see. In front of the soldiers, several cities were captured. At this moment, a few jokes from Wuxiu made him enlightened.At this moment, Wu Dayong's march in the Central Plains was blocked. He sent a letter to convey the predicament to Bu Bu, asking him for help.

It has been seven days since Anqing stormed. King Ning personally supervised the battle under the city. The generals defending the city are really talented, but it is a pity that they are not under his command. critical!"

"What?!" King Ning was on the front line of the battle, the sound of drums and fighting filled the surroundings, and he couldn't hear clearly for a moment.

Shan Zhou whispered, "Your Majesty, there is an army starting from Jiujiang, shouting all the way, kill the rebels, and attack Nanchang."

King Ning was shocked, but then calmly said, "Who is in command? How many people? Isn't Wu Dayong trapped in the Central Plains by us and has no time to march?!"

Shan Zhou replied honestly, "I don't know, I only know that the other party is leading hundreds of warships, and they are going down the river. If they don't come out to find the sun, they will come to my Nanchang city."

King Ning glanced at the front where the battle was stalemate. It was almost dusk, and today was probably another day of no progress. He ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and returned to the rear camp with Shan Zhou.There was nothing to say all the way, and after entering the military tent, King Ning stood in front of the huge marching map with his hands behind his back. This map was at the end of last year and early this year. Updated the military defense along the way along the river.To be able to inquire about one's own warship, and to be able to accurately attack oneself from the rear of the battlefield requires extremely accurate intelligence and extraordinary intelligence. King Ning can count all the people in the world who can do this behind his back with his eyes closed. , He calmed down and said in relief, "Hmph, some people want me to withdraw the army and throw myself into the trap. At that time, the offensive here will be self-defense, and my accumulation over the years will be destroyed. It is really a deadly move. In life, meeting a good opponent is harder than meeting a confidant." King Ning asked himself with a relaxed smile, "Is this an idea you don't understand, or Zhu Houzhao's idea?" Forming an army is a capital offense. If it was Zhu Houzhao's idea, it would be to attack the west and besiege the city to fight for aid.King Ning looked at the map in front of him, drew the route in his heart, and then said to Shan Zhou, "Since there are people coming here with a crowd, then this king must show how to treat guests well. Order, 3 sailors return. Chase up and challenge! We must compete with those people who dare not even reveal their names!"

"My lord, the [-] sailors are almost all of our water power, and we are blocked in attacking the city here again. If we lose, the lord's strength will be greatly reduced, and we will be in danger of being overthrown by then." Because Shan Zhou was in wartime, His face was a bit haggard, his bun was messed up because of running around, and the situation was urgent, so he came to report to King Ning before he had time to tidy up his appearance. His long hair was scattered on his cheeks, which added to the uninhibitedness of a knight-errant.King Ning looked at his loyal subordinate and praised his consideration, "Anqing City is not easy to attack. If it continues to be consumed, I will lose troops and run out of food and grass. It will be of no benefit at all." Although King Ning did not want to see the attack blocked, he judged the situation is very clear. "So, let the water army and those stragglers join forces to fight together. If this king wins, then what he does ahead will definitely be invincible. If he is lucky enough to be defeated by the ignorant, the defenders here will also relax their vigilance because of the victory of the friendly army. It is easy for the king to lead the remaining [-] elites to go down the Yangtze River, no matter whether it is victory or defeat, this king can win Nanjing, and then send his troops northward to enter the capital!" In the end, King Ning's face was determined and his tone was sharp.

Dan Zhou suddenly realized, and nodded excitedly.

"Let Jinxuan lead the army, put on my king's armor, and pretend to be my king to go back to the army to rescue in person. We must attract all the troops on the other side, understand?"

"Yes." Shan Zhou replied.

"The day Jinxuan leaves is when you and I hide our identities, cover our whereabouts, and go east along the river in secret." King Ning gripped the saber on his waist.

King Ning's guess was right. He didn't know that the 1 people who came from Wu Dayong and the rogues who went to the hills of Jiangxi and the only defenders in the territory formed a temporary army of 2 people. The discipline of the temporary army was loose. Those who lost money racked their brains and promised to pay a lot of money to thank them, "You all know that the richest man in the world is King Ning. When you invade his palace, there will be no gold and silver treasures." Also known as canon punishment, killing A few bandit leaders took the lead in escaping, and the 2 regular troops of the imperial court were ordered by the Ministry of War to surrender to allegiance. "Encountered" at Poyang Lake.The whole world focused on the waters of Jiangxi. It was World War I. The two armies fought for three days and three nights. Purgatory on earth.

The two armies fought to the last moment, Jin Xuan ordered the remnants to ignite all the surviving warships, and with the help of the wind direction, dozens of fireships were pushed into the unknown camp. , The sound of cries for help, the sound of fighting, and the sound of wooden boats cracking can be heard endlessly. I don’t know that one side is in chaos. The crowd jumped into the river to save themselves or fled in embarrassment.Jinxuan was looking for the main ship in a sea of ​​flames, and finally saw a figure in the chaos. He was not tall, had no hair, and did not wear armor. As for him, he jumped onto the warship in a few quick steps, pointing straight at his throat. Although he didn't understand, although his skills were not bad, he definitely couldn't compete with this supreme master. He rolled to the other side of the warship, embarrassed. He dodged a shot, and Jin Xuan's second fatal blow had already reached his chest, and he was about to be stabbed to death, and Wuxiu shot out from the smoke, defusing Jin Xuan's attack.Seeing that there was an obstacle, also a monk, Jin Xuan thought that this was the ignorance and endlessness known to all the confidants of the palace, and suddenly became interested, and it happened to be solved together, to get rid of the prince's enemy.

I don't know how to look at the man in front of me. He is covered in elegant armor. This armor is a bit familiar. It is the same as what King Ning wore when he fought against Wuliangha outside Daning City that year. He is also quick thinking in this battle. "You are wearing the armor of King Ning, are you King Ning?" He looked suspiciously, let Jin Xuan hear this, and stopped the offensive, "Oh, I was fooled! You are not King Ning, and King Ning's face turned into ashes. Everyone recognizes you, although you are not bad, but you are still fatter than him, hahahahahaha..." I didn't know how to exaggerate and laughed, "You pretended to be him, King Ning is not in Poyang Lake?!" Don't know what to realize It was a big conspiracy, and Jin Xuan also realized that those who had seen through the trick would definitely not be able to survive, so he immediately held his hand tightly, and stopped talking nonsense and killed the two of them.

Don't understand and Wuxiu, the two of them are no match for Jinxuan alone. In the sky filled with flames and billowing black smoke, they struggled to avoid several vicious attacks. Finally, they didn't understand that Jinxuan caught a weak spot. With a sweep, Jianfeng was about to Opening his chest, I didn't know what to do, so I had no choice but to lean back, and jumped into the smoky lake.Jin Xuan quickly followed to the side of the boat, looking down for the water splash and the figure, but the water was turbulent, and there were flames floating on it, so he couldn't see the two people clearly. He wanted to go into the water himself, but he heard the message from his men There was an urgent report, because of his status as the commander of the army at this moment, he took back the step he had taken angrily, and continued to lead the battle here, and sent people to investigate and track along the water on the lake, vowing to kill him and bring the corpse to see him.

World War I shook Poyang Lake, King Ning rebelled, the army returned, and suffered heavy losses on the way to rescue.The imperial army also suffered considerable losses and won a disastrous victory in countering the rebellion.

Knowing the situation, King Ning had already arrived in Tongling. He was eating lunch on the way, and learned that the navy was completely destroyed by a fire at Poyang Lake. , so far no definite whereabouts.

The five elements, water and fire, are incompatible with each other. This is a boat sailing on water. In a battle of fire attack, the troops are greatly damaged.King Ning lost his appetite. Zhu Houzhao instigated this fire. He was always watching coldly from behind the front line, and only released a fatal blow at critical moments. Hmph, the son of heaven, of course he is sitting on the world and has all the talents. Let Poyang The flames of war in the lake continued to spread and burn throughout the entire territory. Anyway, they didn't know where they were, and it would be beneficial to have less hindrance.Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, the main force is damaged, and the imperial army has not yet attacked. In this extremely unfavorable situation,
