Chapter 167 Another Bet
Zhu Song got excited when he heard it. If it was Wu Daozi's authentic work, it would indeed be somewhat tempting.
"I would never have imagined that the fourth brother actually hid such a treasure. If so, then I will make a bet with you. To be honest, I will decide on Wu Daozi's painting as my younger brother."
Zhu Di is still full of confidence.
"Old Twenty, let me tell you, don't be too confident. When the time comes, I will take Jinan City without a single blow. It will be up to you what you do!"
Zhu Song smiled slightly, and according to the original historical development, nothing would happen to Zhu Di, but now Zhu Song couldn't say, but now Zhu Di is completely letting himself go like a wild horse, and he can't listen to anyone's words.
There is no choice but to leave it to fate.
…
The next day, Zhu Di led his army to Jinan City. Sure enough, he saw the gate of Jinan City wide open, and Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong were standing on the wall of Jinan City, holding fists at Zhu Di from a distance.
Today, Zhu Song was not in charge of the central army. He came with Zhu Di, and the two of them were at the front of the team. Zhu Song was worried after all.
Zhu Di said to Zhu Song with a smile.
"Don't worry, Old Twenty. Let's see how Fourth Brother captured Jinan City without a single blow. Your batch of war horses must be prepared for Fourth Brother!"
Zhu Di laughed as he spoke, and prepared to enter Jinan City with a dozen personal guards.
Zhu Song turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu looked at His Highness King Han and nodded lightly.
Just when Zhu Di was about to step into Jinan City, he saw Zhu Song wave his hand, and there was a loud noise from the rear of the Northern Army.
At the same time, at the Jinan City Gate, the soldiers who were guarding the inside of the Jinan City Wall were holding on to the iron chains that could lower the gate. When they heard the alarm, they were startled and their hands loosened.
A large iron gate fell heavily to the ground, only two feet away from King Zhu Di of Yan.
The war horse under Zhu Di's crotch was startled, but Zhu Song was already ready. With another command, the crossbowmen all fired arrows at the wall of Jinan City.
The rain of arrows was like swarms of locusts, densely shooting at the head of Jinan City. The archers and crossbowmen who had already been ambushing behind Jinan City were unable to poke their heads out and shoot at King Yan.
King Yan reacted quickly enough. After the big iron gate came down, the horse was startled. After King Yan calmed down the second horse, he immediately reined in the horse, turned the horse's head and ran back.
When he ran back, Zhu Di was so angry that he never expected that honest people like Tie Xuan Sheng Yong and Gao Danger would use such a vicious trick against him. What made him even more angry was that he lost again in a bet with his twentieth brother.
Sometimes, Zhu Song's intuition accurately gave Zhu Di the illusion that Zhu Song actually seemed to have already experienced it or knew how the next thing would develop. It was simply terrifying.
Zhu Di returned to the military formation safely, and Zhu Song immediately ordered the gold to be withdrawn.
Back in the camp, Zhu Di entered the tent and kicked the chair in front of him to pieces.
"Damn! Damn! This Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong, I thought they were honest people, but I didn't expect that they would actually use such a vicious trick to kill me. If Lao Twenty hadn't been careful today,
I'm afraid that this king has already been smashed into a pulp by that iron slag!"
The soldiers under King Yan were also very angry.
Zhang Yu was the first to say: "Your Highness is like this. We also know that Tiexuan and Shengyong will never surrender to us. Next, we only need to concentrate on attacking the city. After breaking Jinan City, we will immediately defeat Tiexuan and Shengyong."
Wait for them to be arrested and interrogated in front of everyone!"
Zhu Di suppressed the anger in his heart.
"How many shells and powder do we have left?"
Zhu Neng said from the side: "Your Highness, we have used more than half of our artillery shells and gunpowder. If the rest are used to attack Jinan City, we can capture it, but we will have no other artillery in a short time."
and gunpowder.”
Zhu Di was also furious and immediately waved his hand.
"Don't worry about anything. I will pull out all the cannonballs and gunpowder tomorrow and blast them all up. I will blow a big hole out of Jinan City!"
"yes!"
After the generals retreated, Zhu Di slumped on his chair, feeling quite frustrated. Zhu Song did not mention the bet at this time, but poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di knew that the loud noise that exploded from the rear army today was caused by Lao Twenty's orders.
If Old Twenty hadn't done this, I'm afraid that there wouldn't be nothing under the iron gate now, and he would be smashed into a pulp by the iron gate.
"Twenty brother, fourth brother owes you a great favor again!"
Zhu Song sat next to Zhu Di and patted Zhu Di on the shoulder.
"Fourth brother, victory or defeat is a common thing in the military. I think we should lose because we have won too many times before. Not only do you look down on the imperial army, but also our soldiers. They think that
The imperial army has a false reputation, and the Peiping army is the best in the world!"
"If this continues, the arrogant army will be defeated. In fact, it is always good to suffer a little at this time. I really want to fight a big defeat at this time, so that the whole army can wake up. Don't underestimate the imperial court. Don't underestimate the imperial court."
Look at your enemies..."
King Yan thought thoughtfully after hearing this, and suddenly remembered that he had indeed been too conceited in the past few days, looking down on the court, looking down on everyone in the world, and treating the advice of his soldiers and his younger brother as nothing.
Old Twenty is right, an arrogant soldier will be defeated. If this continues, sooner or later, there will be even more terrible consequences.
Zhu Di thought of this, stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Song.
Zhu Song asked with a confused look on his face.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?"
Zhu Di said loudly: "Twenty brother, you have saved me and our family many times. This great kindness will never be forgotten by my fourth brother! If the fourth brother really succeeds, he will definitely work with you..."
"Fourth brother won't talk about this unnecessary nonsense. I won't hide it from you and me. I say that I share the world with you. I can't do it. I can't split the Ming Dynasty in two and hand over the south to
Leave the north to me."
"But as long as Fourth Brother is around, whatever you want besides the throne, Fourth Brother can give it to you!"
Zhu Song helped Zhu Di up, looked at Zhu Di and smiled.
"Fourth brother, you know me. If fourth brother really cares about his younger brother, you don't have to give me money or land. I just want you to allow me to return to Liaodong to complete my unfinished business after you ascend the throne. As long as you can
After you let me grow enough food to feed the people all over the world, you can do whatever you want me to do!"
Chapter completed!
