The fact that less wins more is enough to prove that King Yan's amazing talent in commanding troops, and more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, this battle can be called a complete victory, in one fell swoop to sweep away the henchmen of the Yan army, and won the heartfelt support of all the soldiers, and the battle was also hearty, because the generals who participated in this battle were very proud, but Zhu Di seemed very calm.

"Song Zhong is mediocre, why is it enough to win? We are better than the fox squirrels, happy is easy to be arrogant, arrogant is not guarded is a failure. Confucius's so-called must also be afraid of things, and those who are scheming are also successful. ”

This sentence was convincing to everyone, and Xu Hao also kept it in mind, it was no accident that Zhu Di could succeed, how many people in ancient times could raise troops when a dynasty was thriving and win the world with only a corner of the land? It is convincing to win and to win.

Zhu Di was not only an invincible commander on the battlefield, but also worried about all aspects of military and political affairs, so he led the army back to Beiping without stopping, and sent the commander Meng Shan to lead 10,000 people to attack Huailai, and Xu Hao immediately arranged a large number of scouts to spread the news.

This battle had a great shock to the north, and the Huailai guards heard that Song Zhong and others were beheaded, and the whole army was so frightened that they hurriedly opened the door and surrendered, and then the guards of Kaiping, Longmen, Zhangu, and Yunzhong all heard the wind and surrendered.

Xu Hao and Daoyan monk and other staff members made persistent efforts, and successively sent envoys to contact everywhere with the handwriting of King Yan, and then the Yan army pointed out that the important town of Yongping Prefecture and County were successively returned to Shun.

The surrender of these generals is not accidental, almost all of them are Yan Wang's subordinates, the imperial court thought that they could sit back and relax by setting aside Beiping Mansion, but they never expected that Yan Wang would say the opposite, and he won a series of big victories like lightning, and now it is too late to remove a large number of guards.

The elimination of Song Zhong gave the Yan army valuable time to repair and stabilize the territory, and they had to prepare for the large-scale harvest of grain in August.

The side effect of occupying dozens of cities in one fell swoop is to divide troops to garrison, the total number of troops remaining in Beiping is not more than 10,000, and the strength is still weak, in order to win a chance to breathe, Zhu Di sent an envoy to Beijing to appeal. And repeatedly lectured all the generals.

On the one hand, he affirmed that the army was only for the sake of Fengtian Jingjing, in order to save his life, he faintly threatened the subordinates not to be inconsistent, and ordered Zhang Yu and others to be beheaded in order to warn. On the one hand, he encouraged the soldiers to strengthen their beliefs and achieve victory in the future, all of whom were meritorious heroes.

Now in the north, in addition to the unreachable northwest and the Liaodong army, which has not yet entered the pass, the biggest threat is the so-called 80,000 army of Daning, which is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

After resting for three days, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, went to Zunhua with 3,000 pro-troops and sent someone to contact Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, wanting his brothers to join forces against the imperial court.

At the same time, he also wrote to the kings of the world. Explaining the reason why the army was forced to raise troops, he did not ask the feudal kings of various places to raise troops with him. In fact, King Yan hoped and worried that there would be a prince rebelling against the court, and most of the letters he didn't want to send were like stones sinking into the sea, except for the acting king who wanted to rebel but was suppressed, the attitude of the rest of the kings was very ambiguous, and even after receiving the letter, Zhu Xi, the king of the valley, hurriedly moved his family from the fiefdom of Xuanfu in Hebei all the way back to Beijing, which once again shook the world.

The news of Song Zhong's death in battle was transmitted back at the same time, and the court was a little panicked at this time. Knowing that King Yan had become the climate, he steadily occupied Yanjing, with as many as forty or fifty thousand troops.

After a fierce confrontation during the court meeting, Qitai Huang Zicheng, who was accused of treachery by King Yan, resolutely advocated sending a large army to encircle and suppress it. Emperor Jianwen naturally sided with the main battle faction.

After several discussions, it was decided to send troops to attack Yan, and first issued an order to cut off the subordinate registration of Zhu Di's father and son, and the edict drafted by Fang Xiaoru was announced to the world, saying that Zhu Di raised troops to form chaos. Tuwei Zongshe, the ancestors of heaven and earth were offended, and it is incumbent on them to forgive Yunyun.

Zhu Yunwen, who had no one available, used Geng Bingwen, the founding veteran of Changxing, as the general of the conquest. Li Jian, the commander of the horses, and Ning Zhong, the governor of the capital, were the deputy generals, and Feiqi dispatched troops and horses from all walks of life, preparing to lead the division and divide the troops into the northern expedition.

Before leaving, Zhu Yunwen warned: "When the army is facing each other, don't let me have the name of killing my uncle." ”

In Beiping City, Xu Hao, who received the news from the imperial court in the fastest time, calculated the date, and frowned: "Geng Bingwen will arrive at Zhending Mansion in early August, and it seems that we must take the initiative to fight and ensure the autumn harvest." ”

Yao Guangxiao, who was dressed as a layman, wore an official uniform and ordered: "Report the news to the prince immediately." ”

At this moment, Chen Heng, the governor of Daning, was ordered by King Ning to lead an army of 20,000 out of Songting Pass and stationed in Shahe, trying to attack Zunhua.

The messenger sent to contact King Ning has not returned, it seems that Zhu Quan is not at ease, Zhu Di does not want to suffer from the enemy on his back, so the scout just caught two Daning soldiers, and designed to separate the guards in the city.

It turned out that Chen Heng was the old department of King Yan, and he was unwilling to confront King Yan, but there was no way to be restrained by the deputy generals Liu Jie and Bu Wan, and King Ning's control of the fiefdom generals was very weak.

Zhu Di knew that the deputy general Liu Jie was old and easy to tease, and he was a well-known old man in the north, so he handed over a letter to Bu Wan from one of the soldiers, in which he greatly praised Bu Wan, slandered Chen Heng vigorously, and invited the soldiers to have a meal and reward dozens of taels of silver.

This qiē accidentally fell into the eyes of another soldier, and they were all released the next day, and the soldier who did not get the benefit was angry and immediately exposed the matter.

Chen Heng read the letter and handed it to Liu Jie, and Liu Jie led people to send Bu Wan to prison without saying a word, and the whole family was confiscated. Chen Heng quietly planted his cronies, and after Liu Jie could no longer exert any influence on the whole army, he wrote a letter to King Yan to show his loyalty, and sent people to the imperial court to explain the pain of lack of soldiers and food, and could only contain Beiping and could not attack, and since then the 20,000 army has become a spectator, so far all around Beiping has been cleared.

Zhu Di, who had no worries, returned to Beiping on July 18 and began to prepare for the upcoming war.

However, it is said that since Xu Wen and Xu Hao followed King Yan to raise troops, half of the men in the family have gone to the battlefield, and the whole family can't help but be restless day and night, and the old lady has to burn incense and worship the Buddha every day to pray for the Buddha to bless his grandchildren.

Due to the urgent shortage of officials, the third old man Xu Zengfu was quickly appointed as the prefect, and hurriedly took office half happily and half frightened, and the third wife Liu stayed in Beiping.

Xu Song, the fourth elder of the Xu family, was arguing all day long to go to the battlefield, but the Liu family did not agree, and the mother and son quarreled several times about it.

When the news of Xu Hao's promotion to the governor reached the family, the Liu family was immediately envious, thinking that the third child would become above 10,000 people under the Yan Wangfu at a young age. Besides, he has been a young military guard for more than a year, and it seems that he has a career with his third brother.

When Xu Hao returned home that night, Liu, who had changed his mind, said about it and instructed: "You must take good care of your younger brother." ”

"I see." Xu Hao is very happy, he finally has his own brother to help him, it is strange to say, Xu Da is basically a general, and in addition to the eldest brother and the fourth brother practicing martial arts, there are few relatives who are willing to be soldiers.

The younger brother Xu Hai and Xu Jiang are too young to be counted on, and the most capable Xu Han and Xu Yi among the brothers of the same clan are the second generals under the sister-in-law. They all want to follow him to fight, but Xu Hao doesn't want to leave people with the idea of cronyism, so he drags on this matter for the time being, and besides, someone has to help his father Xu Qingtang take care of the family business.

Xu Wen has a few cousins around him, and they have all flocked to take refuge in the past few days, Xu Wen has made them all pro-soldiers, Xu Hao thinks that they are all a group of gentlemen who are used to eating, drinking, and having fun, looking for flowers and asking willows, most of them are Adou who can't help them.

looked at Xu Song's face with excitement. The body is strong and has grown up, but there are still some immaturity. Xu Hao smiled and said: "You first be the commander of my personal army, and replace Li Qiu, he will be released to be a military attaché." ”

"Okay." Xu Wen readily agreed. Xu Hao smiled and patted his brother on the shoulder, "Go ahead, let Li Qiu take you to get acquainted with your colleagues." ”

Liu was a little speechless and stopped, Xu Hao smiled knowingly: "Don't worry." There won't be much danger with me, and when the time comes, I will arrange for the fourth brother to be a hundred households. A few merits are a thousand households. ”

Liu said movingly: "In the end, you are good to your brother, and now my aunt is relieved." ”

The old lady sighed lightly and said, "You must take care of your safety, your three brothers in our family are all lone seedlings now, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't join the army to fight." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "Yes! To put it mildly, you and Wen'er didn't even have any heirs, how can you be reassured? Song'er hasn't gotten married yet. ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Can you die in battle if you have a child?" ”

"Go, don't talk nonsense." The old lady frowned and said.

After dinner, Xu Hao and his wife returned to the courtyard together, everyone came out, looking at the coquettish appearance one by one, Xu Hao secretly sighed that the hero was short of breath, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.

That night and Ning Xue lingered overnight, and the next morning it was turned over by the red waves, and after a long time of clouds and rain, Ning Xue said softly and weakly: "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, Zhiqing came with warm water with a smile, and saw that Mrs. was wearing a thin gauze with a pillow under her, her legs were upright and bent, and her posture was a little weird, so she hurriedly put down the copper basin and walked over and put her head to Mu Ningxue's ear, and said in surprise: "The young master agreed?" ”

Mu Ningxue nodded shyly and said, "You go and help your husband clean up your body." ”

Xu Hao said: "No need, I'll go out and take a bath." ”

As soon as Xu Hao left, Zhiqing stared at Ning Xue's lower abdomen covered with a silk scarf, put her hands together and said, "Amitabha, please send my son Niangniang to let my wife plant jade in Lantian as soon as possible." ”

Just when Qingwen saw Xu Hao going out, she also walked in lightly, and Zhiqing covered Ning Xue with a brocade quilt when she saw this.

Xu Hao and his wife, like most big families, don't shy away from personal girls, but Mu Ningxue doesn't like to be seen, so the maids are all outside the bedroom.

Zhu Qiaoqiao didn't have any scruples in this regard, and the personal girl stood on the side to serve when she had sex, and when Musk Yue was over there, she was always asked to strip and go to bed.

Qingwen said: "Grandma is here. ”

Mu Ningxue thought for a while and said, "Please come in, sister-in-law." ”

Zhiqing opened her mouth wide in surprise, Qingwen turned around and went out in confusion, and later Zhu Qiaoqiao walked in with a look of Shenfei, and saw Ning Xue lying on the bed at a glance, and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?" Could it be that you are sick? ”

Zhiqing looked strange, Ai Ai didn't know how to justify, but Mu Ningxue generously stretched out her snow-white arm and said: "I was bullied by Hao'er in the morning, and now I have no strength at all, and I have to bear the burden of preparing to conceive, so ask Hao'er to bully my sister-in-law tonight." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "He told you?" ”

Mu Ningxue chuckled: "I already told me last year, Hao'er didn't hide anything from me. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled apologetically at first, then raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Then the old lady won't explain, in short, I can't help you first." But do you scare me about him? Poor one wrong step, one wrong step, it's too late to even regret it, he is now the governor of the capital, if I dare to steal the man, I will not survive tomorrow, hum! ”

Looking at the dead duck's hard-mouthed sister-in-law as always, Mu Ningxue chuckled helplessly, it was indeed as early as after Xu Hao and Zhu Qiaoqiao had the first time, she turned her head and confessed directly to her wife, after all, a woman in this era would never ask for a divorce because her husband cheated.

For Mu Ningxue, her husband just had a bad relationship with someone who shouldn't be, when Zhu Qiaoqiao and Xu Wen fell out, as a woman's sensitivity, she already had a premonition that something would happen between the two.

In addition to the fact that this matter must not be spread, Mu Ningxue did not take it too seriously, and her sister-in-law without a name will never become a threat and hidden danger, of course, she will be more or less uncomfortable in her heart, but other than that, it is the same thing, because Xu Hao is very smart and has never preached equality between men and women.
