change in front(1/2)
The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Jianwen.
Xu Hui's ancestors crossed the Yangtze River and built a strong line of defense. Zhu Di finally ushered in his most powerful opponent on the road to rebellion.
However, the "strongest opponent" had just built some fortifications on the other side of the Yangtze River. Before the building blocks were finished, Zhu Yunwen was transferred back to the capital.
A yellow brocade flew lightly:
The capital was in need of generals to guard the capital. General Xu Huizu immediately returned to defend to protect the emperor. Minister of War Qi Tai took over the Yangzhou army, and all his beloved ministers were loyal to the country and fought here.
Xu Huizu looked at the river and sighed, and left with his sleeves.
The court ministers were fighting for this opportunity to fight. Sheng Yong led his army south, with Xu Huizu's Yangzhou army of 200,000, and Zhu Di was stationed on the riverside and was attacked from both sides.
He just needs to stop him for a moment and three moments and attack the Beiping army with Sheng Yong, and he is still afraid that he will not be able to defeat him?
Xu Huizu was pronounced back to the capital by a group of ministers who were competing for merit. He was called the guardian emperor. He only had nearly 4,000 people in his hands, and half of them were facing the sky and did not obey.
When Zhu Di heard the news, his eyes almost burst out and he stuttered: "What do you mean? Zhu, Zhu, who did you think my emperor nephew sent?"
Zhu Quan said coldly: "Don't be too proud."
Zhu Di laughed and said, "It might as well, Qi Tai is a fool. Although he has four hundred warships, it can be broken just in time. In three days, I will be able to destroy his 200,000 troops."
Zhu Quan said: "I'm afraid it may not be, the fourth brother, the arrogant army will be defeated."
Zhu Di stood up and walked out of the tent. Zhu Quan followed him and said, "Hundreds of warships and 40,000 archers, how do you break? With Sheng Yong's footsteps, we will definitely arrive on the seventh day. At that time, we will have to fight on both sides, and the situation is quite different..."
Zhu Quan's nagging voice suddenly became hoarse.
Zhu Di laughed loudly, and Zhu Quan said embarrassedly: "This..."
Qi Tai squeezed four hundred warships together, set up a springboard, and the ships were firmly connected and inseparable.
The warships lined up in the middle of the river, facing the opposite bank on the side, like a solid barrier built by wooden boats, a huge water military fortress.
The 27th day of the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Jianwen:
"This is the strongest line of defense in the world!" Qi Tai stood at the bow of the boat, with a feather fan and a scarf, and announced with great enthusiasm: "Just defending the Yangtze River for six days, General Sheng Yong will come to help, and he will definitely defeat the subordinates of the King of Yan!"
"The ship is full of gunpowder. If he gets so close, isn't he afraid of being attacked by fire?" Yun Qi murmured in a low voice: "How come I remember that this is the last time I heard my brother-in-law's storytelling."
Tuoba Feng looked at it for a moment and whispered: "I must have forgotten this."
Yunqi said again: "It's not that my second brother is guarding, why did Qi Tai change? Go and ask for the news."
"Wang!" Tuoba Feng went happily.
Yunqi and Tuoba Feng received the news that Zhu Di occupied Yangzhou, abandoned their horses and hired ships, went straight to Yangzhou, but halfway through the road, they found that Qi Tai blocked the waterway, so they had to go ashore again and sneaked into Qi Tai's army.
Tuoba Feng was tall and wore a soldier helmet. The court equipped the soldiers with a short Dian horse. Tuoba Feng had two long legs hanging beside his riding horse, almost stepping onto the ground, holding an iron gun in his hand like a toothpick, which seemed a bit out of place.
Tuoba Feng went out for a few rounds and came back.
“How to say it?”
"Your second brother is too stingy. He only gives soldiers two steamed buns and pickles every meal. The army almost changed. The dog emperor transferred him back to the capital."
Yunqi said laughing and crying: "The second brother is very good at living."
Tuoba Feng sneered: "I don't know how lucky I am in the midst of my blessings. I didn't have any pickles to eat when I defected to him."
Yun Qi felt extremely sad in an instant, burst into tears, and threw himself into Tuoba Feng's arms and shouted: "How could this be so great!"
Tuoba Feng patted Yun Qi with one hand to show comfort.
Sanbao also came back, carrying a small bag of rice, a few live fish, beef and mutton and other ingredients that came from the grain transport team. Several people stayed away from the reserve camp, set fires on the shore, and cooked lunch like a picnic, which was enjoyable.
Yun Qi looked at the military camp on the distant opposite shore, and Zhu Di's flag was fluttering in the cold wind, thinking that this year he was destined to be unable to reunite with Xu Wen. The second brother Huizu and his elder sister were in opposing camps, which made him feel indescribable sighs.
"Let me celebrate the New Year with my second brother?" Yun Qi said in a divine way: "After counting carefully, I haven't seen him for more than ten years."
Tuoba Feng scoops fish soup for Yun Qi and carefully picks off the thorns: "I heard that your second brother is the best one in your family."
Yun Qi glanced at Jiang An again and said lazily: "The best martial arts in Jiangnan, Xu Huizu, the Confucian general, you probably are not his opponent."
Yun Qi burst out laughing, looking at Tuoba Feng for a while, and couldn't help but say, "How many moves do you want to practice with him?"
Tuoba Feng did not answer, and picked up the dishes for Yunqi. Yunqi poured the soup for Sanbao. Tuoba Feng bent his feet and squatted to Yunqi with his bowl uncomfortable holding the bowl.
Just when they were starting their own movement, the cannons sounded loudly, and the Thousand Gate Shenwu cannons were launched simultaneously. Yun Qi and Sanbao sprinkled the fish soup on Tuoba Feng at the same time.
"Bastard--!" Yun Qi was furious and cursed at the other side.
Tuoba Feng was furious and was about to kill the artillery. Yun Qi suddenly realized something and hurriedly grabbed Tuoba Feng tightly and said, "I'm here to fight?! It's great to grab a boat across the other side!"
Tuoba Feng roared angrily: "Not good!"
Countless small boats on the other side pulled up their sails and shot arrows at the ship's formation in the middle of winter in the north wind. The first small boat hit the abdomen of the ship, making a shocking explosion.
The black smoke spreads across the sky, and the flames leaped along the river. The soldiers of the Northern Army jumped out of the ship and jumped into the water. Small boats filled with gunpowder and hay collided with the Southern Army's ship formation, crying and explosion shaking.
The cold wind blew mercilessly, lifting up the white sails that were lit up with fire, and flew towards the shore overwhelmingly, like red clouds stained with blood.
Zhu Di destroyed more than half of the ships of the Southern Army without spending a single soldier.
As I saw the blazing fire, reflecting half of the sky red; broken oars scattered everywhere, floating across the river, and the large ships of the South Army sank one by one, making a sound of broken wood.
Until the surging river water rolled downstream the corpses of four hundred warships and countless soldiers, the riverside returned to peace again.
The Northern Army did not send a soldier. All the assets of the Southern Army, the 100,000 naval forces and 1,200 Shenwu cannons, were gone in just a few hours.
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
An official boat from Nanjing crossed the Yangtze River through the wind and waves and rushed to the other side. Zhu Yunwen sent his peace consul-
Princess Shouchun.
Only the people of the Zhu family could hold back Zhu Di's final advancement. Princess Shouchun was ordered to negotiate peace and delay time, waiting for Sheng Yong, who led his army to serve the king, to arrive.
Zhu Di looked at Princess Shouchun for a long time, and then said, "My fourth brother hasn't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?"
Princess Shouchun is nearly thirty years old, but her husband's family has not yet settled down. Zhu Yunwen did not ask Princess Shouchun to marry, so she left her in the palace like this.
"It's so good." Princess Shouchun took the teacup, turned the floating leaves, and smiled with a pursed lips: "Why are you here with brother? We are all a family, let's go back."
"Yun Wen agreed in person." Princess Shouchun leaned over and spread out the yellow brocade and said sweetly: "The treacherous and slandered in the court have been executed. After the New Year, Qi Tai will be beheaded outside the Meridian Gate. The four emperors' uncles are in peace with the sun and the moon. When the emperor is clear, he also asks the emperor to continue to guard Beiping for my Ming Dynasty and protect my country for thousands of miles."
"I'm so fucking tired, my aunt, Zhu Di, I'll tell you, don't want to let me lead the troops next time..." Xu Wen's voice came from outside the tent.
Xu Wen, who was dressed in military uniform and brave, took off her helmet and threw it to the edge of the tent. Princess Shouchun immediately stood up tremblingly.
"Fourth Sister-in-law." Princess Shouchun bowed nervously.
Zhu Quan hurriedly gave up the seat beside Zhu Di. Xu Wen frowned and said, "Six sister?" As he said that, he sat on the general's couch. In front of Zhu Quan and the imperial court, he removed his armor and helmets and poured down like a black hair fall.
"Yun Wen sent you? My fourth sister-in-law is asking you something." Xu Wenjunrong said: "Raise your head!"
After a moment of silence in the tent, Zhu Difang pressed Xu Wen's shoulder with both hands, massaged her from behind, and said, "Sixth sister is back, tell Yunwen..."
Xu Wen said coldly: "Stop saying anything, go and ask my second brother, the old man killed my father back then..."
Princess Shouchun responded to the tit-for-tat: "Sister-in-law, you should not say this nonsense. What happened back then was oral, how could it be done accurately? Besides, how old was Yunwen at that time?"
Xu Wen shouted, "How old is it?! He gave me a glass of poisonous wine, but he has never been sensible?"
Princess Shouchun saw that the negotiations broke down, so she had to get up and sigh, "The Fourth Brother knows what the capital is saying about you?"
Xu Wen sneered: "Is your fourth brother afraid of his wife?"
Zhu Di smiled "haha" and said seriously to Princess Shouchun: "It is natural for people to be afraid of a wife! Sixth sister!"
"The girl is young and married, and sits in the room, like a Bodhisattva; she gives birth to children, and is eager to protect her son, like a female tiger; she is old and yellow, and her majesty is still there, as the Buddhist scriptures say, the winter melon ghost that absorbs people's essence."
"Aren't you afraid of Bodhisattva? Are you afraid of tigers? Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Xu Wen was feeling depressed when she was missing her. At this moment, she was amused by Zhu Di and burst into laughter. Then she laughed so hard that her branches were trembling and her mood was getting better.
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes: "Old Seventeen, I'll send my sixth sister out. The crisis has not been over. I'm afraid that you will have to clear it. I'll be here to cross the river myself tomorrow and talk to Yunwen."
Princess Shouchun walked while thinking, passing by another soldier who was cheering endlessly.
She caught a glimpse of a very familiar person and looked up in shock.
"Tuoba Feng?!"
Yun Qi covered Tuoba Feng's face with one hand alertly and turned around and said, "Your Highness Princess? Are you here to negotiate peace?"
Tuoba Feng's eyes were covered by Yun Qi's palms, and he raised his handsome face blankly, causing Princess Shouchun to have indescribable complex feelings in the sunlight.
Princess Shouchun's eyes were filled with tears, and her mind was full of Tuoba Feng...
"My heart..."
"Ah—!!" Xu Wen's tears surged in the wind, making a scream that shocked the entire army. She rushed over like a road roller, knocking Princess Shouchun who was blocking her face straight out, grabbed Yun Qi's collar and dragged it back, and disappeared in an instant.
The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month:
Yunqi officially returned to the Northern Army camp. The first thing Xu Wen did was to tie him up and throw him into the coach's tent, and from then on he kept guarding him.
"Open your mouth, ah--" Xu Wen's face was full of spring, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other.
Yun Qi's expression was both desperate and helpless: "Sister, don't be so cruel, you're also tied up with me."
Xu Wen said seriously: "Isn't it good to tie it up? The Japanese historians want to write that Xu Yunqi is loyal to protecting his master, and he will break into the enemy camp first, but was defeated and captured... Isn't this fulfilling the reputation of loyalty of our Xu family? Rebellion is the most annoying, and it has nothing to do with our brothers and sisters."
