Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 124 If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs?

Outside Kaiping City, tens of thousands of troops were assembled.

After talking with Zhu Quan a few days ago, Zhu Quan's enthusiasm for the Jingnan Campaign was obviously much higher than in the previous days.

After all, Zhu Quan felt like he was working for Zhu Di before, but this time Zhu Quan felt like he was working for himself.

The meaning is different, and the initiative is naturally mobilized by Bai Guang.

Zhu Quan not only transferred all his 80,000 troops back from Daning, but also summoned the 20,000 cavalry he had hidden outside Kaiping City.

Hearing that Zhu Quan actually hid 20,000 cavalry, Bai Guang had to admire this young King Pan.

This King Ning must not judge this person's city by his appearance. It can be said that there is no such thing as Zhu Di's Jingnan battle in history, and King Ning will eventually fall out with Zhu Yunwen.

But now, all these armies of King Ning have taken advantage of Bai Guang.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the 100,000 troops coming from afar, at the forefront are the 30,000 most elite Duoyan Three Guards Cavalry.

It can be seen that the morale of the people below is very high. They all hold their heads high and look forward to who is the winner. Bai Guang can't help but sigh, it's different these days when money opens the way.

After simple greetings, Bai Guang directly took the 100,000 troops and went to Xuanfu and other places.

Xuanfu should be the site of the king of the king. Now that King Ning has joined the Yan King's camp, Bai Guang did not worry about what waves could go out.

But when Bai Guang arrived at Xuanfu City, news came that surprised him.

After King Gu received the news that Zhu Yun had summoned him back to Beijing, he immediately ran back to Yingtian Mansion, leaving all the 287 troops of Xuan Mansion behind.

When the defenders in the city saw Bai Guang leading an army of 100,000 men coming with great momentum, and Bai Guang was using Zhu Di's name, they immediately raised the white flag to surrender and opened the door to welcome Bai Guang into the city.

Bai Guang only felt a punch hitting the cotton, which was extremely uncomfortable. He came with the power of thunder, but now he had no place to use it.

However, although it was uncomfortable, Bai Guang was helpless. Everyone had surrendered, and it was impossible for him to attack the city by force.

Fortunately, now that Xuanfu has finally taken over, Zhu Di's last territory in the north has been completely blocked.

Zhu Di's rear was now in chaos and as stable as a rock. At least he didn't have to worry about a fire in the rear.

After arranging matters in Xuanfu, Bai Guang gave Zhu Gaoxu another 20,000 troops and asked him to go to Liaodong and pacify Liaodong's sphere of influence.

Although he didn't know whether King Shen was still there, if King Shen was still in Shenyang, Bai Guang asked Zhu Gaoxu to invite King Shen to Peiping.

In this way, Zhu Di will have two good brothers to help him in Peiping.

At that time, Zhu Yunzheng was furious, and it would likely be that all the princes in the north would invite all the princes in the north to Beijing, and then Zhu Xi really made a lot of money.

I'm afraid the vassal king has to choose between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen.

And Zhu Xi's attitude towards the prince and the means of treating the prince with Zhu Yunzheng can be said to be very different, and the fool knows which one to choose.

As long as more vassal kings join Zhu Di's camp, Zhu Yunwen will be completely doomed.

After Bai Guang sent Zhu Gaoxu off, he took Zhu Quan back to Peiping.

Now Bai Guang has fulfilled his promise. In just two months, he invited 100,000 troops from Daning to help out, greatly strengthening Zhu Di's power. Now Bai Guang feels that it is not impossible to attack Li Jinglong's army of 500,000 head-on.

Bai Guang has not yet received the news that Li Jinglong has sent 700,000 troops, and thought it would be the same as in history, when Li Jinglong only had 500,000 troops.

When Bai Guangxiong appeared arrogantly twenty miles north of Beiping City, he had already seen Zhu Di leading the civil and military officials of Beiping to greet him outside the city.

Bai Guang and Zhu Quan quickly dismounted their horses, walked quickly to Zhu Di's side, raised their hands and asked:

"Why does the prince need to come to greet him personally?"

Zhu Di was so happy when he saw Bai Guang and Prince Ning coming side by side. Especially when he saw the three elite Duoyan guards behind Bai Guang, he was even more overjoyed and said excitedly

road:

"I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night when I heard that Seventeenth Brother was willing to come and help me calm down."

"If I don't go out to welcome Shili in person, I'm afraid I'll be too guilty to sleep at night, hahaha."

Seeing Zhu Di smiling so happily, Zhu Quan was a little depressed, but things had come to this point and he knew there was no chance of turning around.

I could only force a smile and say:

"After Mr. Bai's lecture, I suddenly realized it."

"Nowadays, treacherous ministers are wreaking havoc in the court. As a descendant of Emperor Gao, how can I just watch these fortified cities harm the people."

"It's just that I just figured it out now. I just hope Fourth Brother doesn't mind." "I don't mind, I don't mind at all."

Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Quan's arm, looking very affectionate, and then said loudly:

"I have already prepared a banquet at the best restaurant in Peiping. My fourteenth brother will follow me to the table quickly. I will take care of you."

"Dare you disobey me."

Zhu Quan agreed directly, and then Zhu Di nodded to Bai Guang. With the relationship between the two of them, everything was obvious. After all, the most important thing now is to stabilize Zhu Quan's 100,000 troops. Only by stabilizing these 100,000 troops can Zhu Di have a chance to take advantage of Li Jinglong in the next battle.

Next victory.

Zhu Di hosted a banquet for King Ning and his soldiers at Zuichun Tower that day, and drank until late at night.

Zhang Yu and other generals took turns to fight, knocking King Ning and his soldiers to the ground.

In particular, several Mongolian generals, relying on their ability to drink, insisted on competing with Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others, but they were knocked to the ground.

Although several people were very drunk, the Mongolians really liked King Yan's heroism.

After all, he treats them to feasts and drinks when he can come up, and he is so generous. If you fight with such a person, the rewards you will get will definitely not be small.

The next day, Zhu Di rubbed his head and convened the largest military meeting with only one purpose, which was how to defeat Li Jinglong's 700,000 army.

This meeting was the highest-level military meeting in Prince Yan's palace. Apart from Zhu Gaoxu, almost all the senior generals and advisers were present.

Even Zhang Yu, who was besieging Geng Bingwen in Hejian Prefecture, was recalled from the front line to participate in this crucial military meeting.

Bai Guang naturally sat on the left side of Zhu Di without hesitation, while Prince Ning sat opposite Zhu Di, and on the right side were the generals of the Yan Palace, led by Zhang Yu.

"Today, the battle of Jingnan in Prince Yan's Mansion has been going on for nearly half a year. As time goes by, our army is getting stronger and stronger."

"Last month, our army defeated Geng Bingwen's 300,000-strong army. Geng Bingwen was so defeated that he now only dares to huddle in Hejian City and dare not go out."

"And just yesterday, King Ning also realized that the treacherous ministers in the court were in power, and was willing to join us in the grand event to defeat Huang Zicheng, Qitai and others in Jiancheng."
