Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 342 Gong Changhou Guo Xing

Zhang He took people to Qian'an to raise ships, while Zhu Su turned to the direction of Yong'an Mansion, intending to station directly in Changli County.Along the way, Zhu Su and his party did not hide their tracks, but directly displayed their flags in order to get the attention of the surrounding Ming army. Sure enough, when approaching a mountain called "Jieling", a Ming army came in front of Zhu Su.

"Are you in front of His Highness King Qin, His Highness Yan, and King Wu? Wang Zonglong, the deputy commander of the last general Zunhuawei, please meet Your Highness!" A general dismounted and stood by the side of the road, respectfully facing Zhu who was holding the king's flag Su and his party saluted.

Zhu Su and the two elder brothers looked at each other, and then the three rode their horses to the front of the team to meet General Wang.When Wang Zonglong saw Zhu Su and his entourage, his face was extremely pleasantly surprised, and he quickly knelt down to salute: "The general has seen the three highnesses! God pity you, the three highnesses are safe and sound!"

"You know us?" Zhu Xi asked curiously.

"The last general was originally the personal guard of Cao Guogong's mansion. When he was in Beijing, he had the honor to meet three His Highnesses with the Duke." Wang Zonglong smiled kindly.

It turned out to be Bao'er brother Li Wenzhong's confidant, Zhu Su and his party were also overjoyed.After talking for a while, I found out that the three of them disappeared at sea, which caused some waves in Beijing.It's just because there are still frequent wars and they know that they have thousands of soldiers guarding them, so they haven't taken any action for the time being.

"Unexpectedly, the three Highnesses are here." Wang Zonglong said in surprise.

"Frequent wars? Could it be that besides Naha, there are other people coming to tease my Daming's beard?" Zhu Su keenly captured the information in Wang Zonglong's words.

"Yes." Wang Zonglong nodded. "Except for Naha brazenly invading the frontier from the northeast, there are also Beiyuan invading Qingyang, Bao'an, Huining and other places in the northwest. Our northern border of the Ming Dynasty is now full of flames." Wang Zonglong said.

"Bei Yuan..." Zhu Su's expression became serious.In fact, this is also reasonable. When the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty failed last year, Chao Wenwu was worried that Bei Yuan would take the opportunity to go south.Although Li Wenzhong, Xu Da and others commanded well, the Northern Expeditionary Army did not suffer too much damage, which caused Bei Yuan to be cautious and did not dare to take advantage of the trend to attack Ming.

But Daming also lost the ability to destroy Yuanting in one fell swoop because of that failed Northern Expedition.In this case, Yuan Ting will definitely try to counterattack, trying to regain the lost land of the Central Plains.

"How is the battle in Ji Town now?" Zhu Di asked.

"There is no serious problem for the time being. Naha has been attacking Yongping for a long time. Now he has changed his thinking and besieged Yongping City instead of attacking the Ming army who came to help." , Zhu Su and the others looked at each other. "At the beginning, I followed his lead and lost some generals. Later, Lord Gongchang, who was hoarding in Jianchang, saw that he couldn't defeat Yongping, so he directly camped far away to fight him. gone."

Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang, one of the 24 generals of Huaixi in the Ming Dynasty, was ordered by Lao Zhu in the fifth year of Hongwu to be in Beiping with Fu Youde, Marquis of Yingchuan, and Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia.Zhu Su vaguely remembered that the "Jianchang" mentioned by Wang Zonglong was located in the west of Yongping Mansion, but it was a thousand miles away from Beiping. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Isn't Gong Changhou in Beiping? ? Is the situation so critical?"

"Naha went out of Shanhaiguan, and Ji Town was in a hurry, so Lord Gongchang led a partial division from Beiping to preside over the overall situation first." Wang Zonglong explained with a smile. "The situation is not that critical, it just needs to be delayed. After all, according to the news from Beijing, the general is already on his way with his troops."

General Xu Da!Zhu Su, Zhu Di and others couldn't help but looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.If Xu Da was in charge, what would a mere 20 troops from Naha be?
This is the White Jade Pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the Zijin Liang of the Sea!

After inquiring about the situation, Zhu Su and others placed the army outside the county seat of Changli County, while they and others entered Changli County accompanied by Wang Zonglong.Seeing that the city wall of this county is dilapidated, there are few people.Occasionally, there are pedestrians with sad and haggard faces.

Although he had heard that this place was ransacked by Nahachu before, but seeing it with his own eyes, Zhu Su's heart couldn't help sinking.

He even saw that a few gangsters even dared to bully a weak woman beside the road in broad daylight.

"It's unreasonable!" Not only did Zhu Su's blood pressure soar, but someone in the group rushed out in a rage, "In broad daylight, you did such a beastly thing, don't you fear the government!" Ru Taisu ran to several The famous gangster reprimanded in front of him.

"Government? How long has the magistrate of the county gone west? How can there be any government in Changli County?" These gangsters looked at the furious old man, and even pulled out the sharp knife at his waist: "Old man, I advise you not to Don't care about right and wrong..."

Seeing that they dared to threaten with swords, Zhu Su couldn't help but look cold.The dog beside him had already shot an arrow, and the arrow was directly nailed to the hand of the bastard who drew the knife.Ignoring the gangster's exclamation and screams, Zhu Su ordered: "Di Meng, go, let the army enter the city to take over here."

"I originally wanted not to disturb the people, but I didn't expect that this place is almost not my Ming territory." Zhu Su turned his head coldly, looking at Wang Zonglong who was inexplicably beside him: "Could it be that Gong Changhou didn't take back these things that were attacked and looted by Naha?" Is it a city?"

"Your Highness, let me know." Wang Zonglong said. "After all, there are more than [-] people from Naha's headquarters. It is not easy for us to contain them. If we divide our troops to garrison these cities, I'm afraid they will be attacked by Naha."

"Besides, Naha sent people to plunder everywhere, with the intention of consuming our army's food and grass and luring our army to divide our troops. If our army wasting energy to station in these cities, wouldn't it be Naha's plan?"

Zhu Su was silent. What Wang Zonglong said was not unreasonable.

Seeing that Zhu Su sent troops into the city, and even went directly to the county government office, Wang Zonglong who thought Zhu Su was just passing by here immediately persuaded: "Could it be that Your Highness wants to be stationed here?"

"Forgive me and speak bluntly, this place is not a perfect place. If His Highness insists on staying here, the Naha Office will arrive soon."

"Why don't you go to the Jianchang camp together with the last general, and then make the next step after reuniting with Lord Gongchang. What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Marquis Gong Chang sticks to Jianchang Camp, so I will stick to Changli County." Zhu Su didn't care about Wang Zonglong's words. "Since Guo Xing doesn't want to take care of these ordinary people, I will protect the people by this king."

"It happens to be a corner with his Jianchang camp. If we can use our brother's name to attract Naha to attack, it will be a surprise. What does General Wang think?"
