During the march, Xu Hao developed a high fever due to his injuries, and was sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake lying in the carriage and bumpy all the way.

Xu Hao, who was in a daze, did not forget to tell Li Qiu to find ice cubes to put on his forehead, whether this almost extravagant act was useful or not, the psychological effect was immeasurable, after careful treatment by the military man, after eating a few bowls of bitter decoction, the high fever subsided after three days.

Xu Hao was very afraid of this, fortunately, there were guards desperately blocking the horse at that time, only the tip of the gun pierced into the stomach, and an inch deeper was a serious injury, and the most fortunate thing was that he didn't get tetanus, so he picked up a life and came back.

And Li Jian, the colt who was also injured in the abdomen, was not as lucky as him, the same ice cube and the same Lang Zhong died differently on the way, making Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law one less.

After returning to Beiping, the whole family was very nervous, and the old lady forced her grandson to lie in the room to recuperate from her injuries and not to move around at will. After such a toss, no one asked about Xu Wen's whereabouts.

Xu Hao, who couldn't take a bath for many days, looked comfortable, and let Zhiqing Muskyue, who was closest to him, wipe his body without any strength, but it was a pity that they refused to help him do that shameful thing.

After finishing the incident, Xu Hao cheered up to comfort his wife and Zhu Qiaoqiao, told him what happened on the battlefield, and fell asleep while talking.

Mu Ningxue gently covered her husband with a brocade quilt and sighed lightly: "I'm lucky to come back safely, otherwise what's the point of living." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, and this time she didn't deliberately refute, "How many times have you said that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the sword has no eyes, I thought that he would not be in danger, but who knows that in the end, he was young and vigorous, and ran to risk his life, and he had to pay homage to the Bodhisattva." By the way, Cuiliu is going to learn from her little aunt recently, and she plans to lead the practice at home. ”

Mu Ningxue said: "You mean Miaojin? I haven't seen her for many years, and Cuiliu is reluctant to marry. It's Hao'er who supports her behind her back. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "It's okay if Cuiliu doesn't marry, don't forget that there is a cousin Yushi at home, now that she is at the age of leaving the cabinet, I advise you to hurry up and think of marrying her off, otherwise it will be troublesome." Aunt Xu, I haven't seen her in person, but I've only heard that the capital has always rumored that you and her and the county lord of Jiangdu, Princess Hanshan are also known as the four beauties of Jinling, and she is also a stunning person. ”

Mu Ningxue said helplessly: "Where is there such a rumor, compared to the princess and sister-in-law, I am just a willow posture." However, when it comes to learning, Aunt Miaojin and the county lord of Jiangdu are indeed worthy of their reputation. As for the rain poem, I can't say anything. Don't talk about me, even the elders can't say anything, it depends on Hao'er's own meaning. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered and said, "There is a chance that Yushi will be sent outside by him, just like Qingwen and them." In the past few days, I've listened to Momiji nagging about going overseas to occupy the mountains as kings, and I really don't know what this girl is thinking about all day long. ”

Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "Hao'er is not a mortal, he thinks differently from us mortals, so let his brothers and sisters go." ”

"You just blindly accommodate him, no wonder Hao'er said that your temperament is becoming more and more like a princess, really." Zhu Qiaoqiao shook her head,

At night, Zhu Di and his wife came to visit in person. Then the prince and his wife came with a baby boy who was less than a year old, Zhu Di loved the lovely eldest grandson with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes very much, and couldn't put it down for a long time, and immediately named him Zhu Zhanji. Xu Hao sighed lightly after hearing this, it can be seen how much King Yan pinned his hopes on his eldest grandson, and a basic word was exhausted.

In the bedroom, Zhu Gaochi sat at the head of the bed in a regular manner. Zhu Di said happily with his hands behind his back: "I didn't expect the imperial court to really appoint Li Jinglong as the commander, you are really the reincarnation of Zhuge ." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "It's just a random guess, but I didn't expect it to come true." Don't get too excited. Now Brother Jinglong has a heavy army in his hands and will not let go of this opportunity in vain, the previous promise is just an empty word, he is now proud of the spring breeze, scolding Fang Xuan, and he will definitely not miss the old feelings and think about breaking through Beiping. ”

Zhu Di said disdainfully: "Li Jiujiang is the son of the child, and he is not worthy of his name, which can be known from a game you played with him back then. Neglecting the soldiers and not seeing the big war, it is ridiculous that Zhu Yunwen dared to entrust him with an army of 500,000. ”

Xu Hao heard it a little harshly, and said: "Although Brother Jinglong has some shortcomings, he values love and righteousness and dares to act, don't underestimate him." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "This king has never despised anyone, but analyzing his people is often able to stabilize and plan for his weaknesses. It is said that Han Gaozu is magnanimous, knows people and makes good use of them, and all the heroes in the world take refuge, which is based on the ability of Han Gaozu, and there are only 100,000 generals, but Han Xin dares to boast of a lot of good benefits. What kind of talent is he, Li Jinglong? Dare to compete with Han Xin? Will be 500,000 people, how ridiculous. ”

The successive battles and victories made King Yan very interested, and when he heard that Li Jinglong was in charge, he was even more worried, and he ordered with a smile: "Gao Chi, you start writing, point out for your father that Li Jinglong has five defeats, and circulate the generals."

Listening to Zhu Di's eloquent conversation, Xu Hao's left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he said in his heart that Zhu Yunwen could appoint Li Jinglong, and it was indeed a lack of knowledge, Li Jinglong was a royal family, and King Yan knew him too well, plus he had frequent contacts with himself in the past few years, and his strengths and weaknesses were well understood. Even if Zhu Yunwen was negligent, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and other ministers did not point it out in time, they can only say that they are useless scholars!

Zhu Di's theory of five defeats, all in all, Li Jinglong has no experience in commanding a large army, his command is inconsistent, military discipline is lax, his own achievements and prestige are simply not enough to subdue the generals from all walks of life, and he cannot work together to fight in multiple ways, and it is a big failure to remove and replace Geng Bingwen, who is highly respected in the army.

Secondly, on August 30, we set out from the Beijing Division, and when we mobilized 500,000 troops to Zhendingfu, we would have to stay for at least a month at the end of September and early October, and at least we would have to attack in November, which would mean that we would usher in a long winter in the north, which would have a great impact on the large number of southern soldiers who were transferred.

The winter clothes and quilts of 500,000 people, people eat horses and feed them, which are astronomical amounts, and they must be maintained with the strength of the whole country, but looking at the imperial court, they are hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands, and they are sent to the front line without overall planning and planning in advance.

Third, Li Jinglong has always been very self-controlled, in order to show that he is different from the veteran Geng Bingwen. is also burdened with heavy pressure from the imperial court, and will definitely take the initiative to lead the army to pressure the situation and rashly go into the dangerous situation.

In the Fourth Army, there are no strategists, no generals who can fight, no strategy and bravery, the army is not aligned and the training is different, and it seems that there are many people, but in fact, the more vulnerable they are.

The fifth is a large group of gentlemen in the capital around Li Jinglong, who occupy important positions in the army, in addition to not knowing how to fight, what is not the strength of these playboys who eat, drink, and bully men and women?

In short, Xu Hao knew that Yan Wang's analysis was probably not bad at all. If Li Jinglong could learn from Geng Bingwen and be stationed in Zhending Mansion for a year and a half, so that he could reorganize the whole army, hoard grain, grass and clothing, select and appoint talents, listen to the construction of generals from all sides, and slowly plan for it?

The question is, is it possible? Whether it was the imperial court or Li Jinglong, Xu Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, even King Yan wanted to fight quickly.

Sure enough, Zhu Di was unusual, ignoring Li Jinglong, who rushed over, and led an army of 40,000 to rescue Yongping, which was fortified by the city, despite the opposition of the generals. Wu Gao, who led the Liaodong Army to besiege the city, was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his troops overnight, which angered Geng Xuan, the guard of Shanhaiguan, and wrote to the court to impeach him.

However, his father Geng Bingwen was defeated and recalled to the capital, and Geng Xuan was not taken seriously. Wu Gao, Marquis of Huaiyin, immediately impeached him for disobeying military orders, and was ordered by the imperial court to return to Beijing to report on his work.

Facing the 100,000 Liaodong Army stationed in Shanhaiguan, Zhu Di once again made a counter-plot and wrote letters to Wu Gao and Yang Wen, the commander-in-chief. The letter was deliberately sent out by mistake, and the letter praised Wu Gao and slandered Yang Wen to the fullest, and the angry brave and unscrupulous Yang Wen immediately reported the original letter to the imperial court. Impeachment of Wu Gao and Yan Wang for collusion.

After Wu Gao learned about it, he hurriedly wrote a letter to defend himself, and for a whole few months, the generals of the two lines of Liaodong were busy attacking each other and had no time to discuss sending troops to Shanhaiguan.

100,000 Liaodong troops threatened the west of Beiping, 80,000 Daning troops threatened the north, nearly 150,000 Datong military horses threatened the east of Beiping, and Li Jinglong sat in the south and kept urging military horses from all over the country to go to Zhending Mansion, and it was reported that the number of troops was terrifying as many as more than 400,000.

Xu Hao's injuries that had been recuperating for half a month gradually healed, and on this day, he fiddled with the sand table in the Yanwang Mansion, and said with a smile: "Wu Gao Yangwen only went to Liaodong last year to take up his post, and before he could sit firmly, he began to be hostile to each other and fight among themselves. Juyong Pass is firmly in my hands, and the 5,000 defenders can block the 150,000 army outside, King Ning has just been ordered by the imperial court to cut down the three guards, unless he rebels, he can't command the people, and the threats on three sides are not to worry about at the moment, leaving only Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of southern troops. ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Father ordered us to defend Beiping to the death, in case the city is breached?" Alas! ”

Xu Hao said: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I can't avoid it, take advantage of the fact that there is still time now, quickly strengthen the city wall and install artillery, and seize the time to let the people enter the city to avoid disaster." ”

Xu Da, who had been at ease, suddenly said: "Your aunt is coming these two days, remember to send someone to pick it up." ”

Xu Hao was stunned and said in surprise: "Which aunt?" ”

Xu Da sighed: "It's your little aunt, your third aunt is now under house arrest and has no time to take care of her, so your aunt wants to take her to Beiping, and it is inconvenient to live in the palace, so she will move to your house." ”

"It's my sister-in-law who is coming?" Xu Hao was suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think of the stunning face that he had impressed in his childhood.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes also widened, and he said in surprise: "Great, I have heard that my little aunt is full of poetry and books, and she is a talented woman who is not born in the world." ”

Xu Da's young daughter's name is Xu Miaojin, she is only 16 years old this year, and she is the crown of the four sisters in terms of appearance and talent.

Speaking of Xu Miaojin and Mu Ningxue, she was born beautiful since she was a child, and she gradually grew up with a stunning appearance, she likes to dance and write and be touted by the children of the powerful who do good things and move Jinling, because she was born in the Xu family, the three sisters are all princesses, and her fame is greater than that of Mu Ningxue.

Originally, according to the convention, everyone felt that Xu Miaojin was going to marry the prince, but at that time Zhu Yuanzhang changed his attitude and began to kill the heroes, which made Xu Miaojin, who was strong by nature, shameless as an emperor, and left home to go to Datong Mansion when he was only twelve years old.

Xu Hao has only heard of his name since he crossed over, and Xu Miaojin, who has an indifferent temperament, has not returned to the capital once in the past few years, and even the Xu family has gradually become regarded as having no such person.

Xu Miaojin! Xu Hao muttered to this elder aunt who was a few years younger than herself, and vaguely seemed to be a strange woman who left a name in history. (To be continued......)
