Because of the journey for four or five hours, Ji Gang was tired and sleepy, and pointed to the houses in the distant village and said, "Go to that family to ask for a glass of wine to eat, rest for two hours and then leave." ”

At that moment, more than a dozen guards followed Ji Gang to the gate of the courtyard on horseback, and someone threw off his horse and knocked on the door, shouting, "Open the door!" ”

"Who?" "Open the door quickly, don't ask for Luo!"

An old man in a coat came out of the room, trembling and opened the wooden door, the guard raised his hand and pushed him away, and hugged Ji Gang into the courtyard.

At this time, the lamp was lit in the wing, and the old man hurriedly said: "It's the military masters who are here, you don't need to come out." ”

Who knew that Ji Gang's curiosity was aroused, and when he looked in through the crack in the window, he saw a young woman with a good appearance dressing, with a delicate figure and a fair complexion, and immediately said happily: "I'll go in and have fun, you eat yours." ”

The guards immediately laughed, and the old man shouted in a distraught voice: "The dog killed the enemy with King Yan, but my family is a military household." ”

"Go to your mother's military household and tie him up."

Ji Gang instructed the guards to hold down the old man, rubbing his hands into the house, he was originally a bold character, when King Yan went south to Jinan, he dared to block the way of the army alone as a talent, and grabbed the reins of King Yan and asked to follow, Zhu Di appreciated his courage to pass people, although he was born as a scholar but was skilled in bows and horses, and accepted it as a personal soldier under the account, and it didn't take long for Ji Gang to be promoted to the leader of the guards because he could speak well and fight bravely.

Ji Gang and Xu Hao and other civilian generals have nothing to do with each other, and they were named by Zhu Di to stay to protect Yanwang's Mansion this time, which is the eyes and ears of the eyes.

In the past month, Ji Gang has been very close to Zhu Gaoxi, who likes to mess around, and has accompanied Zhu Gaosui everywhere in private, and has not spoiled the women in the countryside.

Just as Ji Gang was insulting the woman in the house, a group of soldiers with muskets suddenly poured in outside. Fired directly at the smiling and angry guards.

Then the slippery Ji Gang was taken out and knelt on the ground, the old man and his wife with blood on their faces cried and made a fuss, and stepped forward to fight him to the death, and the crying of a woman came from the house.

"I'm the palace guard, who are you?" Ji Gang shouted while dodging his fists and kicks.

The leader Qianhu drew his sword and sneered: "You are the one who killed, remember, the person who killed you is Uncle Li Qiu!" ”

The Xu family in Beiping Mansion, after Xu Hao received the news that Ji Gang had died. said: "It doesn't take much effort to get it, this Ji Gang is really a wicked person, but it saves trouble." ”

Xie Jin, who was sitting opposite and visiting late at night, frowned and asked, "Even if Ji Gang violates the law, but the general kills innocents indiscriminately for his own personal grudges, he is not afraid of being punished by military law?" ”

Xu Hao's expression became very strange, and he said, "Does Master Xie know that he has avoided the disaster of killing?" If Ji Gang doesn't die, you will be the one who will die in the future. ”

Xie Jin suddenly said unhappily: "I know that the general has unpredictable abilities. But this is sensational, isn't it? Not to be believed. ”

Xu Hao smiled: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, if Ji Gang doesn't die, sooner or later he will harm the lives of many innocent people, what's wrong with killing him?" ”

Xie Jin said in a deep voice: "Only those who have violated the king's law can be punished." How can human life be disregarded without being charged? ”

Xu Hao said indifferently: "He even insulted a woman, and he can't prove that he is a villain?" Do you have to wait for more people to be victimized before you can kill him? Pedantic! Isn't it necessary to ask me to bring Yu Ji Gang to justice, this rape - defilement of the soldier's wife's room, the people who accompany him do not dissuade him, and it is a capital crime in wartime! ”

Xu Hao was too lazy to defend himself. Xie Jin, believe it or not. Whether this Ji Gang is the powerful minister who killed tens of thousands of people for Zhu Di in history or not, he once ordered to take one million catties of salt and framed hundreds of wealthy merchants. castrated hundreds of young children from the good family, occupied many stunning beautiful girls, and Xie Jin was drunk by him and dragged to the snow to freeze to death Ji Gang, in short, he killed him, and when Ji Gang committed a lot of crimes, he was executed in Ling Chi? Joke!

After Ji Gang took control of the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Di led the civil and military officials out of the city to shoot willows during the Dragon Boat Festival, and he instructed his cronies to suppress Pang Ying to deliberately shoot off, and said that he was shot, wanting to see the reaction of the princes and ministers.

At that time, all the onlookers pretended to be grandsons, and one by one they became blind, and it was rare for all of them to be confused and wise to protect themselves. How could Xu Hao be humiliated or plotted by the powerful Ji Gang at that time? took advantage of the fact that Ji Gang was still a small person, so he simply killed the matter, and saved himself from harming others and himself.

Now Xu Hao is still young and has enthusiasm and impulsiveness, and he still likes to go straight when things come to an end, knowing the consequences, Yan zhòng doesn't want to endure it, even if he is a man in two lives, he is not a black-bellied political family who plans to do everything and then moves, and he can't regard human life as a mustard, so Xu Hao chose the path of a hero instead of the road of a powerful minister, because he knew too well that he was not that piece of material.

Xie Jin left the Xu Mansion in a daze, and after returning to the official office, Yang Shiqi, who was waiting for him, asked, "Did Gongzi Xu agree to the legal discipline?" It would be better for him to come forward to inform the princess, the prince has been too disagreeable lately. ”

Xie Jin smiled bitterly and told the whole story, and Yang Shiqi said in surprise: "There is such a strange thing? Oops! If Xu Gongzi doesn't kill Ji Gang this time, the adult will have to tell the prince about it, then Ji Gang, as an upstart next to the prince, will only receive some lessons at most, and maybe he will really hold a grudge against the adult from now on, so that he will plant the disaster of killing himself in the future, and it is unknown. ”

Xie Jin said: "How is it possible, how can a mere guard kill me? ”

Yang Shiqi said faintly: "Then I can't say, the guards can't fly to the top?" Now, all the former palace guards have become hot military attachés. Besides, it is the prince who is supported by the adult, how can he not offend the two princes? What sinister thing will not happen since ancient times in the competition for storage places? ”

"Ahh Xie Jin suddenly shuddered.

Xu Hao told Zhu Gaochi about the incident the next day, Ji Gang did commit a capital crime, and sneered in front of the speechless Zhu Gaosui.

Princess Yan was quite unhappy when she learned about this, no matter how wrong Ji Gang was, she had to deal with it with the prince, how could she kill someone directly?

However, Xie Jin made a special trip to ask for a meeting and handed over Zhu Gaosui's complaint of harming the women of the good family, and Princess Yan knew that her youngest son, who had always loved the most, was so lawless outside, and according to the law, even if he was a prince, he would have to be punished by the law of the country. mistakenly thought that his nephew killed Ji Gang for this, and was secretly grateful.

Princess Yan was angry with a cadre of guards who took her son badly, ordered Zhu Gaosui to think about it behind closed doors, and euphemistically wrote a letter to her husband to tell her husband what was wrong.

Zhu Di was very angry, and couldn't help but secretly scold Xu Hao for meddling in his personal vendetta, and he was also deeply disappointed with his youngest son Zhu Gaosui. And Zhu Gaosui in history did not do a lot of evil, because he was given up by Zhu Di early, if it weren't for the three adult sons, he would have been kicked far away to the fiefdom.

Zhu Di was in no mood to think about family affairs, the insignificant Ji Gang died when he died, in order to appease Xu Hao, he said that he had to send someone to encourage him, and then ordered Xu Hao to lead his troops to Daning Mansion to keep this headache away from Beiping.

As soon as the Yan army waited for Xiadian, Zhu Di secretly ordered Chen Xu and Xu Lier to take a boat to Zhigu first, and set up a pontoon bridge to let the army pass Guò.

This is also the origin of the name of Tianjin, that is, the meaning of the ferry through which the Son of Heaven passed, and after moving the capital to Beijing, the geographical location of Tianjin Wei became more and more important, and then became the throat of Tianjin.

Because the army suddenly turned back to the south, the whole army was confused, and when the army advanced, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of discussion about it.

Yao Guangxiao and other gods naturally offered myths, Zhu Di in front of many soldiers, said that there are two white qi in the sky, from the northeast to the southwest, according to the book of Zhan said, "the one who holds the book wins", so it is only conducive to the southern expedition and not conducive to the eastern expedition, and the celestial phenomena represent the will of the gods and cannot be violated.

The tall and tall Yan King in military uniform pointed to the night sky and talked eloquently, completely like a son of heaven who had won his true life, who would dare not believe the soldiers of this era?

Crossing Zhigu along Qingxian Changlu and other places all the way south to the city of Cangzhou, the late night sneak attack on the official army succeeded, the defeated Yang Wen fled in a hurry, and the Yan army captured nearly 10,000 people.

Zhu Di ordered the dismissal of the prisoners of war, and in the end, there were 3,000 strong men left, all of whom were killed by Tan Yuan at night.

In the face of the atrocities, Zhu Di reprimanded loudly, and Tan Yuan defended: "These are all selected strong men from all over the world, and they are released today, and they should be killed when they come back tomorrow, but they are the enemy, and they are harmful to our army, so it is better to pit them." ”

Zhu Di sighed: "You make me unkind!" Half a year of confiscation, retreat. ”

Tong guò This incident, some of which made Yao Guangxiao shudder, the secret way was hidden under the surface of the prince's broad-mindedness, but he didn't care about such killings, it can be seen that he will not be soft when he kills, and he can't help but have the intention of returning to the world as soon as possible after the life of the assistant prince ascends the throne as the emperor.

The Yan army continued to march south through Cangzhou City, crossed the river by boat and captured Jingzhou, and the comeback never hit the city of Dezhou, Zhu Di sent people to the city to recruit Sheng Yong out of the city for a decisive battle, Sheng Yong could not hold out, so the Yan army went towards the hinterland of Shandong.

After Zhu Di led dozens of cavalry, Sheng Yong sent hundreds of cavalry to sneak attack, and more than 100 people were killed, and thousands of Su Wu were captured, and the rest surrendered.

On November 12, the Yan army entered Linqing, and two days later moved to Guantao, sending thousands of light cavalry to attack the Daimyo's mansion, and obtained all the official and military grain ships.

Zhu Di, who hated the Shandong officials to the core, wanted to cut off the north-south road and forced Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan to fight, and ordered the Yan army to cross the river and plunder Guanxian, Xin County, Dong'e, Wenshang and other county seats.

The soldiers of the Yan army took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot, and did all kinds of evil, so that hundreds of miles of land in Shandong were empty and reduced to ruins.

It was learned from the captured grain transport that Sheng Yong had left Dezhou and entered Dongchang, Yang Wen fled back to Liaodong with the Liaodong army, and the pioneer Sun Lin led 5,000 troops to camp in Huakou.

The slip is located in the southwest of Pingyin County, Shandong Province, 30 miles, is a sergeant important place on the north-south road, has always been a soldier's battle.

This time, Zhu Di remembered Xu Haojian's advice to train the generals, and also felt the incompetence of Chen Xu and Chen Heng, so he sent the commander Zhu Rong and Liu Jiang to lead three thousand elite cavalry to battle.

The second general did not fail in his mission, attacked his battalion at dawn, killed thousands of people, captured 3,000 horses, and captured Tang Li and four other people, and Sun Lin was only spared.

At the same time, Xu Hao took 5,600 people to Daning City. (To be continued......)
