Chapter 258 Zhu Silang Is Still Alive! Lü Ben and Li Shanchang Are Shocked!

Kaiping Guard.

The captain Qu Neng was inspecting the Guancheng.

A few miles in front of the Guancheng, a black cavalry suddenly appeared, which immediately attracted Qu Neng's attention.

Qu Neng frowned and looked at the same time, whispering to the captain beside him, "Let the brothers in the Guancheng be prepared. If something happens, go to the city as soon as possible."

The captain opened his mouth.

The new captain was clearly showing weakness to the enemy.

Deliberately create an illusion that the Guancheng is empty to lure the other side to attack the city, so that a war can be fought.

The court has strict regulations on border guards.

Without the court's order, it is not allowed to provoke border provocations without authorization.

But there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

For a general who wants to make merit, there are always various loopholes to exploit.

This new captain is a typical second-generation military.

His father Qu Tong is amazing.

He is a founding father of this dynasty!

Although he has not been awarded a title.

But the actual power is also terrifying at the moment.

After Duke Cao became the Grand Commander, General Qu Tong was appointed as the Grand Commander's Office, and was a second-rank deputy commander.

The hereditary system of military officers in the Ming Dynasty stipulated this.

If the father of a captain, that is, the deputy commander, died of illness, the captain could inherit the second-rank official position.

If he was capable enough, he would be given the second-rank military power!

To put it bluntly, their new captain was sent to the border by the deputy commander to gain experience.

After all, only those with real ability can obtain the corresponding second-rank military power.

The new captain naturally yearned for military exploits.

After the captain figured out the key points, he swallowed the words that were on his lips, "Yes!"

He responded and quickly went to pass the order.

Qu Tong didn't know what the captain was thinking.

He did want to fight.

But not for experience.

He wanted to be promoted with his real ability, just like the captains Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.

Because of his father's relationship with the Grand Commandery, he often wrote to him. In the past six months, the people mentioned most in the letters were Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.

He hoped that he would follow the example of these two comrades whom he had never met.

A few days ago, news came from Liaodong that these two comrades followed Xu Da, Duke of Wei, and successively conquered Haizhou, Gaizhou, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Luda...

...

Qu Neng's brows suddenly frowned a little tighter. In his sight, a horse rushed out of the team and headed straight for the city gate...

Tatttatt...

The sound of horse hooves came from far away.

Qu Neng finally recognized that the opponent's tattered, purple-black and dirty military uniform was the same standard red coat as his.

But now it was torn and dirty, and even beggars wore better than him.

'How could the court army appear north of the city gate? And still look like this? '

Could it be!

Qu Neng's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief...

"Impossible? This is thousands of miles away..."

"I am Tan Yuan, a centurion of the Liaohe Guard!" Qu Neng's muttering was interrupted by a shout from the city.

Like all the curious soldiers on the top of the city.

He looked down at the city...

Tan Yuan sat on the horseback, his voice hoarse, shouting: "I followed the King of Yan to find the imperial seal for your majesty..."

"We have come all the way here, please allow Kaiping Guard to enter the pass, the King of Yan is behind!"

"King of Yan!"

"Is it really the King of Yan?"

"How did they kill their way back to our Kaiping Guard from Liaodong?"

...

The soldiers on the city shouted and discussed.

Hiss!

Qu Neng sucked in a breath of cold air, and a huge wave rolled up in his heart, 'Damn, many people thought you were either killed in battle or surrendered. From Liaodong, you turned thousands of miles away, and you actually killed your way back from the 200,000 cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who attacked and suppressed the Communists? ’

Qu Neng took a deep breath silently, calmed his mind, and shouted: "Do you have any evidence?"

Although he basically believed it.

But as a guard of a thousand households in Guancheng.

He must be careful.

Guarding the pass is guarding the country's gate!

No room for carelessness.

Tan Yuan held up the gold medal, "This is the gold medal granted by His Majesty to the King of Yan to mobilize troops, engraved with 'Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity'!"

While speaking.

Tan Yuan fumbled in his arms.

Soon, he held up a shoulder badge, "This is my shoulder badge of a hundred households, a bright yellow sword-style shoulder badge, granted by His Majesty!"

During this period, he was fighting outside.

I didn't even have time to wash my face, and everyone quietly put away the shoulder badge.

Worried about getting it dirty.

"Fishing it up!"

After Qu Neng carefully observed the gold medal, his face changed. He heard his father say that it was said that there was only one gold medal in the entire Ming Dynasty!

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually gave it to the King of Yan!

Then he turned around and ran quickly to the city...

Squeak!

The gate opened.

Qu Neng rushed out on horseback, "Can you take me to see the King of Yan?"

Tan Yuan looked at Qu Neng carefully, knowing that Qu Neng was cautious, and he wanted to go and see him in person.

However, as a soldier, he could understand, and then nodded: "Captain, please."

Soon, Tan Yuan brought Qu Neng to Zhu Di.

Qu Neng held the gold medal in both hands, and after Zhu Di took it, he knelt down: "I, the humble general Qu Neng, pay my respects to the King of Yan!"

Zhu Di looked at the captain kneeling on one knee, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Is it the Qu Neng he knows?

In history, this guy almost broke through Beiping, forcing Miaoyun to go to the city to fight in person.

"Captain Qu, please stand up, I am no longer the King of Yan, just call me Zhu Silang or Zhu Xiucai."

Qu Neng lowered his head, and the corners of his lips curled up.

He dared not.

Even if this gentleman was demoted to a commoner by His Majesty.

He rushed into Wanli and brought his brothers back from the joint attack of 200,000 cavalrymen.

Who in the whole world dares to look down upon this man who has lost his title?

Qu Neng stood up and then looked at the team. He turned his head in surprise: "Yan..."

See Zhu Di frowning.

Subconsciously frightened.

The evil spirit is too strong!

He quickly changed his mind and said, "Zhu Xiucai, why are there so many people?"

According to the information he knew, King Yan only had a thousand people.

Zhu Di pointed to Li Chenggui next to him, "He is Li Chenggui, the king of the Goryeo Palace. He abandoned the dark side on the battlefield and surrendered to the bright side, and served the dynasty..."

Qu Neng opened his mouth slightly in shock.

Even though he didn't know what was going on, he could probably guess that he was scared or was captured.

Zongheng Beiyuan fought in and out, and came back alive with the imperial seal.

He also beat another Guofuyuan Lord until he surrendered! ?

Well, his brain power can no longer comprehend and measure how big a shock and far-reaching impact these things will have.

"This is the unborn princess of King Togusi Timur of Beiyuan Yi. The more than 10,000 high-quality war horses we have brought with us are her dowry..."

Qu Neng looked at Wu Yunqige, the corners of his lips twitching...

"This fierce and crazy girl is my second sister-in-law's niece..."

King Yan’s second sister-in-law is Princess Qin, Princess Qin’s niece...

…

Qu Neng was already numb.

When Zhu Di finished speaking, he raised his hands and beat his chest in a military salute, and said sonorously: "Please enter the Pass, King Yan!"

…

After a while.

Zhu Di and his party, with more than 10,000 horses, passed through the city gate one after another and entered Kaiping Weiguan City.

The city guards stood on both sides.

Watched in shock.

"Tsk, I saw it, every one of these horses is a top-notch horse!"

"Some people said before that King Yan either died in the grassland or surrendered to Beiyuan. Who would have thought that he would directly go to Wanli and kill him back!"

"Look at the robe behind King Yan. Damn it, it's full of evil aura. It makes people a little scared just looking at it!"

…

Qu Neng worked as quickly as possible to free up a military camp for Zhu Di and his party.

After walking out of the military camp, he found a hundred households and ordered: "Hurry up and go to Peiping to report that King Yan has slaughtered across the grassland and returned from our Kaiping Guard."

Watching the hundreds of households riding away, he said to himself and sighed, "Hey, I have an important position, otherwise I really want to see it. After this news spreads, there will be a reaction in the court and a reaction in the world."

After saying that, he turned around and looked towards the camp with admiration...

Every camp was quiet.

This group of brothers, after allocating tents, fell down and snored loudly.

As a bystander, he envied this group of robes for their wonderful experience of nearly a month.

But as a soldier, he also knew that nearly a month would definitely be a torture for these people.

However, after this experience, these people, even ordinary soldiers, have become reborn. Some ordinary families in the army are not as good as these ordinary soldiers.

…

Just when Zhu Di and his party returned to Kaipingwei, all the tense nerves in their bodies relaxed instantly and they fell asleep.

Li Shanchang had a bumpy journey, hurrying and slowing down, until his old bones almost fell apart.

Finally arrived in Peiping.

Can't hold on any longer.

Decided to take a short rest in Peiping.

Zhu Ping heard the news and personally invited people to the palace.

study.

After Li Shanchang simply took a shower and cleaned himself, he came in with a change of clean clothes.

Stepping into the study, I was slightly stunned...

Then he walked a few steps quickly, came to the desk, and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, Li Shanchang, pays homage to your grandson!"

Zhu Xiongying is sitting behind Zhu Xiang's desk.

When the war in Liaodong became more and more intense, Xu Da was worried about something unexpected happening, so he sent people to send Zhu Xi and Zhu Xiongying back to Peiping.

"Mr. Han, please sit down." After Zhu Xiongying said to Li Shanchang, he turned to look at Zhu Ping.

Zhu Xi and his wife were sitting next to them.

Zhu Fang knew what Zhu Xiongying wanted to know, and he also wanted to know urgently: "Mr. Han Guo, what are the regulations set by the emperor when he sends you as envoy to Beiyuan this time?"

Li Shanchang looked at the people and said solemnly: "If Zhu Silang dies in battle, I can make the decision and exchange a batch of salt and tea that are in short supply on the grassland for Zhu Silang's body. If Zhu Silang is captured, it is not me who can make the decision. I can only come back and ask for your Majesty’s instructions.”

"My fourth uncle will be fine!" Zhu Xiongying said angrily.

Zhu Xi slowly came back to his senses, ‘The fourth child really died in the battle? ’

His thoughts were out of control and he was pulled back to the scene where the two brothers were arguing behind closed doors in the study.

The bastard Fourth even slapped him in the face.

He also begged the bastard Fourth Brother to take care of Shang Bing for him if he failed to fight for the throne...

Guanyin slave held Zhu Shangbing in his arms, his face turned slightly pale, and he tested: "Mr. Han, can I go on a mission with you? Although my family is in dire straits on the grassland, there are still three or two nails in the rotten ship, so it still has something to do with it. Maybe I It can be of some help.”

In this life, the people she should be most grateful to are her fourth brother and Miaoyun.

The fourth brother's two children are only a few months older than Shang Bing.

If something happens to the fourth brother, Miaoyun will be left orphaned and widowed...

"I'll go too!" Zhu Xi suddenly said, "Even if the fourth child dies in battle, I, the second brother, should take him home personally!"

Li Shanchang took a deep look at Zhu Xiang and his wife, and was secretly shocked, 'Do these two have such a good relationship with Zhu Silang? ’

Then he said: "If the prince and his wife help me, this trip will be a great success!"

This young couple clearly still hopes that Zhu Silang will be alive.

Worry that he won't do his best, so follow him.

alive?

impossible!

He assisted Emperor Zhu in conquering the world, and he thought he was not bad in military strategy.

Zhu Silang's situation was such that he would have no way out unless he surrendered.

It was okay to let the young couple follow him, at least they could testify for him. At the same time, the connections of Guanyinnu, the wife of the King of Qin, on the grassland would also be very useful for bringing back Zhu Silang's body.

After the agreement.

Li Shanchang and Zhu Chong talked for a while, and they could no longer hold on.

Just returned to the house.

Dong Dong Dong...

There was a knock on the door.

"Brother Baishi, I'm Lu Ben."

Hearing this, Li Shanchang smiled, and despite the pain all over his body, he got up and opened the door.

After Lu Ben entered the house, as soon as the door was closed, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Li Shanchang eagerly, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Baishi, did Zhu Silang really die in the grassland?"

"Why didn't I receive any news in Beiping, and His Majesty couldn't wait to send you to collect his body?"

Can't wait to collect the body?

Li Shanchang glanced at Lü Ben, sat down at the table, and poured him a cup of tea.

This is not to be impatient to collect the body.

Emperor Zhu didn't even want his own face for Zhu Silang!

If Zhu Silang was captured alive, Emperor Zhu would most likely make greater concessions to the Northern Yuan for Zhu Silang.

In the imperial study that day.

Emperor Zhu looked up, his eyes red. He still remembered the scene more than ten days later!

Li Shanchang pushed the teacup in front of Lü Ben and said with a smile: "On the grassland, he was attacked by a group of 200,000 cavalrymen. Did Lord Lu think Zhu Silang was a killer?"

"It is most reasonable for him to die in battle. Your Majesty has consulted with me and Lan Yu for our judgment. We both believe that if he doesn't die, he can only surrender and live!"

Bang!

Lü Ben slammed the table excitedly, and the teacup was brought to the ground by his sleeve and broke. Lü Ben hurriedly stood up and apologized, "Brother Baishi, sorry, sorry, I'm so happy!"

Li Shanchang smiled and nodded to show his understanding.

Zhu Silang died in battle, and Lü Ben had reason to be happy.

Remind: "Brother Lu, death is the greatest, all grievances and contradictions should disappear with death, and you must not show too much, let alone target the orphans and widows left by Zhu Silang."

If Lü Ben does this without knowing whether to live or die.

Xu Da will definitely fight back.

He will make trouble in front of Emperor Zhu.

Even if Lü Ben is the father of the prince's concubine, he is dead.

Lü Ben restrained his smile and nodded hurriedly: "Brother Baishi, I understand, I understand, I am a scholar, I will not do such a despicable thing, I and Zhu Silang only have public anger, no private grudges."

With Emperor Zhu and Xu Da protecting him, he has no way to retaliate against Xu Miaoyun, the orphan and the widow.

Li Shanchang glanced at him calmly and smiled disdainfully.

Lips moved...

Bang bang bang!

Just as he was about to speak, there was a hurried knock on the door, "Duke of Korea, urgent news, King Yan is still alive, King Qin invites Duke of Korea..."

Crackling!

The hurried voice outside the door was interrupted by the sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Lü Ben's face twitched hideously, and it turned dark in an instant, 'Zhu Silang, you are so shameless that you surrendered and lived. You have lost the face of Emperor Zhu! If you come back, I will also use the surging public opinion to force you to death! '

He hated it so much!

Zhu Silang was so shameless that he chose to surrender and live!

Li Shanchang glanced at Lü Ben and shook his head imperceptibly, 'Zhu Silang is unwise!'

Zhu Silang surrendered and lived, and when he came back, he was also a joke.

It's better to die in a grand battle.

Leave behind a good name that amazed history.

He gathered his thoughts and hurried to open the door.

Looking at the officials of the Qin Palace standing outside the door, he hurriedly asked: "Where did the news come back?"

"Kaiping Guard!"

Li Shanchang frowned slightly, "Has the Northern Yuan sent someone to propose conditions?"

The official shook his head, he was just responsible for passing on the message.

Seeing that his subordinates only half understood, Li Shanchang quickly walked towards Zhu Chong's study.

After Lü Ben came to his senses, he hurriedly chased after him...

Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
