The wilderness was filled with smoke, and the rolling dust, sand and gravel were mixed with wood ash, smoke and debris, as if a turbid flood was sweeping over! The groups of running infantry were like dams on the river bank, collapsing with a bang!

The battlefield has lost control, and the world seems to be a mountain collapse and cracking... At this moment, with a "click", Li Jinglong looked up and saw that the high handsome flag was blown by the wind!

"Why? Why!" Li Jinglong's hair was messy, and henk with his arms spread out and hissing in the strong wind.

The soldiers around him persuaded him that it was really time to run away this time!

Li Jinglong's face was distorted, his face was pale, and he shouted in embarrassment: "Yan Ni was defeated by me from front and back! Why, who blew the wind?" He almost cried, reached out to grab a general, and shook the man desperately: "I don't blame me this time, I really don't blame me. Yan Ni had been defeated!"

The man said coldly: "If Mr. Li had to send additional reinforcements to Governor Qu early, would he have to wait for the wind to blow?"

After hearing this, Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, and looked closely. It turned out that the person in front of him was Sheng Yong. Li Jinglong immediately said with a complicated expression: "Sheng Yong! Haven't you always been by my side and say, "Duke Cao is wise, and Duke Cao is using troops as good as a god?"

Sheng Yong said: "Mr. Li lost his troops twice. Do you think there is a third chance? Mr. Li, you are completely finished! Why should you say those words against your will?"

"You..." Li Jinglong pointed at Sheng Yong, his face flushed, "You shameless villain!"

Sheng Yong looked cold: "No, I'm judging the situation."

"Don't be too villainous, let's see how I settle the future for you!" Li Jinglong cursed.

He was furious, and at this time the people around him hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Mr. Li, everything in front of him has collapsed, hurry up and leave!"

The soldiers of the central army quickly wrapped up Li Jinglong and turned their horses to run. The flags, chariots, artillery, and various supplies were discarded, and the official army collapsed.

Countless people and horses surged along the Baigou River in the dusty fields, as if they had migrated in groups of animals after suffering natural disasters.

A magnificent but chaotic scene was staged on the plain again. I don’t know how many people and horses were running on this land and were killed. The screaming people were in the sound of the wind and the roar of horse hooves, and even a wave could not arouse. Life disappeared into the huge waves in an instant, turning into a messy corpse.

The sky was filled with haze and dust covered the world. Many officials and soldiers were wrapped in the direction of the Baigou River without any hesitation, with no way out and pursuers behind them. I don’t know how many people were squeezed into the river.

The officers and soldiers in armor flew in the river, stirring the river water to the point of turbidity. At first glance, the river surface seemed to be on the surface of the net. The dense fish were struggling hard, and the river water seemed to be boiling.

...The official army fled south in a chaotic manner day and night, with countless casualties along the way, and corpses were everywhere. Li Jinglong arrived in Dezhou first and gathered some of his troops, but when he heard the Yan army chased him, he immediately took the rest of his people and continued to run south.

A few days later, the Shandong Provincial Administration Commission sent people to the Daji River to pick up the official army and built a floating bridge. The remnants of the official army retreated directly into Shandong and rushed into Jinan City.

...

"King Gaoyang, King Yan ordered all his tribes to gather in the Daji River!" The soldiers who conveyed the military order shouted, and then dismounted and showed their seal.

Zhu Gaoxu responded: "Abide by the military orders of the father!"

At this time, it was getting late, and Zhu Gaoxu did not rush to go, so he ordered the troops to choose a place to camp. After dinner, he immediately came to the tent that guarded Qu Neng and his son.

Zhu Gaoxu personally picked out Qu Neng's clothes, observed the wound, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The weather is getting warmer and General Qu's wound has not deteriorated yet, so it should be nothing serious. Although this kind of skin trauma will not hurt the muscles and bones, it is most afraid of suppuration."

"King Gaoyang..." Qu Nuan looked at him in confusion.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I escaped from the capital last year and was blocked by the Prince of Ling in Zhuozhou. Fortunately, the Prince of Ling was proud of his actions, so I am today."

"Oh?" Qu Neng turned to look at Qu Liangcai.

Qu Liangcai immediately shook his head and said, "At that time, my son really tried his best! The prince of Yan, King Gaoyang, and the third prince were all royal families after all, and the court did not issue a killing order. How dare his son hurt their lives? He dare not use bows, arrows, swords and guns, and only uses methods that do not hurt their lives, rope nets, sticks and other things! However, his son's skills are not as good as others, and he still can't beat them in siege and dozens of people, so he has to admit defeat..."

Zhu Gaoxu held Qu Liangcai's wrist and stared at his face and said seriously: "Mr. Qu does have mercy on his subordinates, but he is afraid that it is difficult to deal with the court. Is that true?"

Qu Liangcai looked confused and turned to look at Qu Neng again.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "When you arrive at the King of Yan, you have to say this, tell the truth!"

Qu Neng pondered for a moment and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "I understand what King Gaoyang means."

"That's good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded. Jiang is still so spicy!

Qu Neng said: "Although you and I are their own masters, King Gaoyang treats him with sincerity. I must continue to give me a face. But... I'm afraid it's useless! In the battle of Baigou River, he lured King Yan to rush into the trap and attacked the Yan army with Ping'an. They were all my ideas, and they almost injured King Yan's life. King Yan would never let me go."

"It's better to die than be humiliated and die. Besides, if I don't surrender to the King of Yan, my family can still be safe." Qu Neng frowned again, "King Gaoyang is kind, Qu is grateful."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized when he heard this: "I just felt that Li Jinglong was not that amazing. It turned out that it was all General Qu's plan! I admire him, admire him!"

He stood up and paced back and forth in the cramped tent, thinking: Qu Neng is really a talented general. Such a person is hard to come by. Not only does he need natural qualifications, but he also needs to be trained in a certain position. He cannot be found by picking and choosing at the county prince's mansion!

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were bright and he whispered: "Don't worry, General Qu, even if I give my head aside, I will definitely protect you!"

"Why?" Qu Neng asked.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "The lion will always die, but it shouldn't die in such a gutter. I can't see it. The Ming Dynasty had a bigger place to need people like General Qu."

He looked at Qu Neng as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.

Qu Neng was speechless and speechless.

Zhu Gaoxu whispered again: "Don't worry too much, don't say anything when you ask. As long as you don't scold King Yan, I have my own concerns."

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he walked out of the tent, looked at Chen Dachui standing outside, and said, "Good meat and good food to treat them."

"Yes, Prince." Chen Dahui clasped his fists.

Zhu Gaoxu took two steps forward, stopped again, turned to look at Chen Dachui: "When we first arrived at Yongpingwei last year, what you said that night made sense."

Chen Dachui hurriedly said, "I don't know what I said."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, wanted to speak but stopped, and then put down his hand and said nothing.

He walked back and forth slowly next to the tent. When he looked up, the fires in the military camp were lit one after another, and the stars in the sky gradually filled the sky. On countless such nights, Zhu Gaoxu had thought about many things. It was not until recently that his thoughts gradually became a little clearer...

His situation will definitely not be changed overnight, and it will not be able to play any role in one thing or two things. Things are far more complicated than he once imagined! Last year, he believed that at least he should accumulate strength early.

However, what is strength?

It’s a human being, and Zhu Gaoxu needs a group of people with weight.

People within the Yan King's Mansion can fight for it, but it is far from enough. Those who are conferred titles to be marquis and ministers in the future will be more reserved even if they have any tendencies. Moreover, poaching from the Yan King will greatly arouse the Yan King's vigilance.

But now, Zhu Gaoxu finally discovered another kind of person... Jianwen's person!

...If the glory and wealth of the world are compared to a piece of cake, then once the Jianwen court fails, the cake will be spit out. People from the King of Yan are fat and have no reason to die. Only those who have lost the cake have sufficient demand for struggle and urgently need a new representative of interests!

Of course, there will be many people in Jianwen who are desperate because of failure and hold the old broken boat and finish playing together. But there must be some people who are unwilling to accept it. The old boat can no longer be held. Who will be their shelter?

Zhu Gaoxu straightened his chest and remembered Mencius's words: Who else can I do?

If everyone has common demands, why can’t we stand together to keep warm?

Zhu Gaoxu is the son of King Yan, so he is his own person. Those people in the Jianwen Dynasty are enemies? If it is limited to this idea, it would be ridiculous!

If the situation is different, the enemy will be completely different! Now everyone in the Yan Palace is considered to be his own people, and the enemy is the monarch and minister of Jianwen... But once the external enemies on the Yan King are gone, the ones will immediately become a big trouble between them, killing their father and having a great grudge. Blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents, how can they not have any grudges?

The wind at night was already cold, but Zhu Gaoxu wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

This is a bold idea. If the King of Yan finds out, he will be immediately suspicious of "unpredictable intentions".

However, when he thought of: If he gave a few thousand soldiers like Qu Neng, he would be very likely to kill a hundred thousand troops... Zhu Gaoxu could not control his desire for victory!

In a gambler, he was not voluntarily given this hat in his previous life, but was forced to stop because of helplessness. But in his previous life he bet on some games that he would definitely lose; in this life, he felt that he would not necessarily lose.

Another gambler's mentality was stimulated again: a lucky heart. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but think: Even if King Yan was extremely smart, could he really understand Zhu Gaoxu's strange thinking?

Can the King of Yan think of it?

No matter what, Zhu Gaoxu is now only thinking about the scrapped resources in the hands of the Jianwen court... Otherwise, if the ruler is conquered, the eldest son will be the family of his family. I am waiting to be "shocked by the great achievements" to clear the Qing Dynasty |
