According to the time, the first month is spring, but the first month in Peking is still cold.

Early in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu finally crawled out of the bed, thinking that it was just a very ordinary day in the cold New Year; Then he was summoned to the Yan Wangfu to discuss matters, and he also thought that it was just an ordinary war arrangement......

But as soon as he approached the front hall, he immediately felt something strange in the atmosphere. The temple was surrounded by men in green clothes, with chain mail on their chests and weapons around their waists, walking in different directions, and it was difficult for even a fly to fly into it at this time.

The last time I saw this kind of battle, it was when I wanted to discuss military aircraft, and it seems that this time is no exception.

The snow on the ground had not yet melted, but the snow had been swept away on the stone steps in front of the temple, and the remaining snow foam was mixed with the ash by the foot, and it became more slippery. Zhu Gaoxu carefully walked up the stone steps to avoid falling.

When he entered the front hall, he saw only a few people standing inside. Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Hui, Jin Zhong, as well as the generals Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, and Zhang Fu, these people are all the most important descendants of the Yan Palace! Even Fang Kuan and other generals from Daning were not there, so it can be seen that what was being discussed today was a secret among the secrets.

"King Gaoyang, King Gaoyang......" The generals took the lead in stepping forward to salute. Then Yuan Hui and Jin Zhong also greeted each other, and Yao Guangxiao also made a one-handed salute to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu and Yao Guangxiao have a little personal grudge, mainly because they have unavoidable internal contradictions with the people of the prince, but these are all in the second place in the face of the safety and interests of the entire Yanwang Mansion...... After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there must be grievances, which are inevitable realities, so Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Gaoxu will not meet like enemies.

After a while, King Yan also strode in. Everyone stood in order, clasped their fists together, bent down and said, "Meet the prince (father)!" ”

"Excuse me." Yan Wang said, sit down on the public seat. Then he spoke, "I have called you here today because there is a very important matter to discuss, and you must keep your mouth shut, and do not even talk about it when you go home." ”

Several people said: "Command!" ”

King Yan clapped his hand on the arm of the chair and said: "After the battle of Baigou River, Dao Yan secretly entered a strategy: do not go down to the city, Linjiang will make a decisive decision, and rush to the Beijing Division!" ”

Several generals immediately muttered below.

King Yan raised his hand and pressed it lightly, "I'm just as worried as some of you. In case you can't cross the river, or you can't take the Beijing Division, the lone army will go deep, and there will be no landing before and after, it must be very dangerous! Or Beiping was broken by the official troops of Shandong and Liaodong, and even his hometown was gone......"

Zhu Neng and the others chimed in.

King Yan frowned and said: "But since the second half of last year, our army has repeatedly fought several times in Zhending, Dezhou and other cities, and these cities have changed hands several times, but we have not been able to expand our territory, but have continued to consume elite soldiers......

He sighed, "Now there are more people in the Yanwang Mansion than when they first started the army, but there are fewer and fewer old brothers. At the end of last year, he fought a battle in Dongchang, and he suffered heavy losses. If it goes on like this, it's not a way! Therefore, Dao Yan's method has to be considered. ”

At this time, everyone quieted down, because there was no better way to solve King Yan's problem.

Zhu Gaoxu even agreed in his heart, he couldn't look at Yao Guangxiao with triangular eyes, but he couldn't help but admit his insight...... As soon as this person came to King Yan's side, he was aiming to subvert the world, and he didn't know how many times he had calculated all kinds of anti-ways of rebellion, if there was a better way, Yao Guangxiao would not have asked Yan Jun to take risks!

King Yan looked back left and right, and said, "If you don't make proper preparations, you will definitely not succeed!" The great river has been in danger since ancient times, and the ancient weak dynasties can also rely on natural risks to support for decades. Jingshi is also an important city town, and the emperor carefully built it as the foundation.

If I can't break through the strong attack, delay a little, wait for the army of the king to gather, and my army will be trapped! Therefore, there must be an internal response. ”

At this time, Yao Guangxiao spoke: "There are two people in Jingshi who can fight for it. The old man has made contact with one of the most important people, but he can't trust our people, but suspects that it is a trap set by the political enemies of the imperial court!

Later, Lao Wei asked King Yan to write a letter and send it to Jingshi. But that person was not familiar with the prince's handwriting, and he didn't dare to search for the prince's handwriting or find someone to investigate, so he was still suspicious. ”

Who is this person? Zhu Gaoxu's first thought was Li Jinglong, the most trusted big man in today's world, but there are many reasons why he may fall to King Yan.

Yao Guangxiao continued: "The old man speculated, that person should be worried about two things. First, the person who contacted him was not ours; Second, whether Yan Wangfu is sincere or not, will it be rewarded in the future. So when we contacted him with the prince's handwriting, he left a mouth...... That person said: The Holy Lord treats him with kindness, even if King Yan's father and son come in person, he is not very willing to betray the Holy One. ”

King Yan muttered: "That person just wants my father and son to talk about it in person, otherwise why mention this?" ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly.

King Yan took a breath and said, "This king will go for a trip!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all opposed and dissuaded at once, "How can that be done?" "The prince is in charge of the overall situation, how can he be alone in danger...... several people said it together, and they were also gossiping, and some words could not be heard clearly.

King Yan shook his head and said, "The stakes are high! If this matter cannot be stabilized, the strategy of rushing to the Beijing division will never be realized. The people in the court are worried, how can this king not be worried? In case that guy surrenders by fraud, our whole army will be planted under the Jingshi City! ”

Zhu Neng said: "The prince's noble body, no matter what, you can't take risks. If it really doesn't work, the brothers will fight to the death on the battle array! ”

King Yan's face was heavy, and he said: "We are in the north to equal the land of several provinces, and we are fighting with the whole country in the world, this is the third year, and if we continue to consume it like this, the capital will be exhausted, and it will really be a catastrophe!" ”

He paused and said: "On the battle array, there is a sea of swords and fires, and this king also personally led the troops to charge the battle, how many adventures?" When and when are we going to take risks, since we started our army, when and what have we not been fighting with our heads in our hands? ”

Zhu Gaoxu followed a few people to dissuade him, and at the same time, he also muttered in his heart: Looking at this situation, dare you want me to go?!

The situation continues to develop, but Zhu Gaoxu really doesn't want to open that mouth! Everything else can be upright, but this kind of thing, if there is a way, you must hide!

The two armies were incompatible, and after two years of fighting, the casualties were not counted, and the risk of running to the imperial court and Beijing at this time was really not small...... Once there is a rumor leaking, it is very likely that there is no return! Besides, King Yan also said that he was worried, did "that person" in Jingshi really want to surrender?

Thinking about the first battle of Zhending at that time, King Yan asked Yuan Hui to go to Zhending City as an envoy to persuade Guo Ying to surrender; Isn't Yuan Hui one of King Yan's most loyal advisors? At that time, Yuan Heng also tried his best to refuse. When you really want to take risks with your head, I believe that few people are willing.

Zhu Gaoxu stiffened his head and was cheeky, pretending not to understand, and absolutely unconsciously spoke.

Zhang Fu said: "General Zhu is reasonable, if there is no prince in charge, wouldn't we be a plate of scattered sand?" ”

At this moment, King Yan said: "You don't have to worry, there is the princess and the prince to maintain Beiping, and Gao Xu to sit in the army for me, it will be fine." ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

He was suddenly extremely depressed: I really said dog! Fortunately, this father also pulled the princess and the prince, otherwise you would like to punish my heart?!

"Father!" Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he took two steps forward and hugged his fists, "Let Erchen go!" ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, dead silent. For a moment, it was as if a needle had fallen from the ground for people to hear.

No one came to dissuade Zhu Gaoxu, and even Qiu Fu was silent. These generals look rugged, but they are not stupid at all...... The situation has been analyzed to this point, there is simply no way out, to dissuade Zhu Gaoxu, does it mean to let King Yan go in person?

At this time, King Yan's face faintly showed a feeling of relief and relief. Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how he felt, whether he felt wrong.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and finished saying that, his mind was also blank, and he felt a little cold in his hands and feet! However, is there a choice?

"Gao Xu!" King Yan stood up, "This matter is in danger, and it is really not light, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it." ”

Now that it has been pleased, it is difficult to collect it after being covered with water. Zhu Gaoxu simply said it sincerely and emotionally, and immediately said: "In the hearts of his sons, his father is a hundred times more important than his sons!" If the father is allowed to take the risk himself, how can the sons bear it? In the palace and the army, only the father can support the overall situation and maintain the morale of the army! Father must not care about the importance of his love for his son! ”

Qiu Fu's voice said: "The one who can be most loyal to the prince is still King Gaoyang." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "If one of our fathers and sons must go, it can only be a son." The eldest brother has inconvenient legs and feet, and the third brother is too young and has no experience in doing things. ”

I'm afraid these words are what King Yan wants to say, and Zhu Gaoxu helped him say it...... Otherwise, how uncomfortable it would be for King Yan to hold back!

King Yan walked down, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's two forearms hard, shook heavily, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face: "Gaoxu, me!" ”

"Father, your sons will always be your sons, and the ones you believe in the most to do such important things must be your sons!" Zhu Gaoxu forcibly held back the feeling of in his heart, and reciprocated with a more sincere and emotional gaze, "Let Erchen go!" ”

King Yan said: "Gao Xu must be cautious, come back as soon as possible, send Zheng He with you for your father, and wait for your good news in the north!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but think: Is Zheng He helping me, or urging me?

But it can also be concluded that this matter is really fatal, and King Yan even took Zheng He to take risks, Zheng He is his most confidant minister, and it is said that he is also the person who helps King Yan block arrows in Zhengjiaba.

Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists and said: "The son will not disgrace his mission and live up to the trust of his father!" ”

finally finished talking about this, and then Yan Wang and the others talked about some details, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't listen to them at all.

He was even a little in a trance as to how he got out of King Yan's Mansion. When he came out, he was blown by the cold wind, and he looked back left and right, only to feel that the spring in Beiping was really cold, cold to the bone!
