Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Zhen Wu paused, then continued: "And if you ask who knows the grassland, who in this world knows better than the King of Yan, and whose subordinates know better than my Yan army, if my Yan army is all lost in the civil war, the grassland will be destroyed. Who will control it? Is it up to you? Let me ask you, have you paid attention to the grassland in the past few years? Have you understood the grassland? Your Southern Army, including the court officials, counts as one, and whoever is there day and night like us Studying how to eliminate the tribes in the grassland?! What's more, King Yan is also the eldest son of Taizu, so why can't the king of Yan sit on the throne? Why do you, an outsider, have to desperately decide to intervene in the Zhu family's civil war?!"

Zhen Wu's voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhang Pu's mind one after another.

Zhang Pu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any words to refute, and even found in his heart that he also agreed with what Zhen Wu said.

King Yan resembled Taizu, and if he ascended the throne, he would definitely be stronger than Zhu Yunqi.

Can…

quite a while.

Zhang Pu still shook his head and said: "If I am defeated in the battlefield, I will not blame the King of Yan, and I am even willing to surrender the King of Yan, but now that I am an official of the court, I really can't do anything that I can't do, so Zhen Junma is very upset. I'm sorry, you and I should compete on the battlefield, if you have the ability, break me and go, if you don't, don't blame others, this world is not fair."

"You..." Zhen Wu pointed at Zhang Pu speechlessly.

He said so much, but he didn't expect Zhang Pu to be like this, he didn't know what to say about Zhang Pu, just like his younger brother Zhang Qi, with a single-minded vigor.

Including his daughter Zhang Roujia, they all have a fucking problem.

Thinking of Zhang Qi and Zhang Roujia, Zhen Wu took a deep breath, and tried again and said: "Could it be for Zhang Qi and your daughter's sake, can't it?"

When Zhang Pu heard Zhen Wu mentioning Zhang Qi, he couldn't help but look up in the direction of Liaodong. He looked hard, as if he wanted to see the scene when his younger brother went to Liaodong Tieling Guard to take office, and wanted to see it again. His brother had a hearty smile on his face.

Sadly never to see you again.

He once heard his daughter describe in detail the process of getting to know Zhen Wu.

Therefore, although he was a little annoyed that Zhen Wu had damaged his daughter's reputation, after he knew that Zhen Wu had saved his daughter's life and avenged his younger brother, his overall perception of Zhen Wu was still good. good.

Even when he heard about it for the first time, he originally wanted to thank Zhen Wu, but only after he inquired clearly, did he know that Zhen Wu was going to marry Princess Yong'an.

This made it difficult for him to come to the door to seek relationships.

It is also for this reason that they have had little contact over the years.

Zhang Pu withdrew his eyes and looked at Zhen Wudao: "If it wasn't for my brother and my daughter, under the current situation where we are on opposite sides, do you think I would take the risk to meet you?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Pu paused and said: "I thank you for saving my daughter, and thank you for avenging my brother. I, Zhang Pu, always remember these kindnesses. But let me, Zhang Pu, eat inside and out, and please don’t mention Zhen Junma again.”

Zhen Wu sighed.

He didn't expect Zhang Pu to be so difficult to persuade, he had no choice but to throw out his last bargaining chip.

Facing the wind, Zhen Wu gently closed his eyes and said, "My mother, Zhang Yuqing."

"What?" Zhang Pu didn't hear clearly.

Zhen Wu's voice became louder and said: "My mother's name is Zhang Yuqing."

"What?!" This time Zhang Pu said in shock.

Zhen Wu nodded at Zhang Pu: "You guessed it right, my mother is your righteous sister. When I was offering incense to Zhang Qi at your home, I accidentally saw the tablet of your righteous sister, so I passed by after returning home. After a detailed investigation, my mother was adopted by your father when he was in Huainan, and there were only two children in your family, you and my mother, but unfortunately, there were riots in Huainan later, and my mother was separated from you."

When Zhen Wu said this, he couldn't help sighing: "Speaking of which, my mother had been looking for relatives for a few years ago, but later she went to Peiping with my father. My father's position is not high, and the distance is far away, so it has been delayed. Well, after I found out about these things, it happened that Taizu passed away. At that time, the world was not stable, and King Yan was also quite embarrassed, so I kept these things a secret, and I didn't take the initiative to contact you, too. I'm afraid that you will be implicated because of me."

"What you said is true?" Zhang Pu looked at Zhen Wu seriously, he couldn't believe it.

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "With my current status, Zhen Wu, I won't use these things to deceive you."

Zhang Pu's mind was a little turbulent. He never thought that he would know the whereabouts of his righteous sister when he came out to meet Zhen Wu. He looked at Zhen Wu, as if on Zhen Wu's body, and vaguely saw Zhang Yuqing's face. verve.

His well-behaved and weak step-sister, since she was lost, he has been worrying countless days and nights, and even in his opinion, with his step-sister's temperament, it is impossible to live independently in this world.

Back then, he and Zhang Yuqing had a very deep relationship, otherwise he would not have been enshrining Zhang Yuqing's tablet.

Zhang Pu now knows that his adopted sister is not only living well, but also rich and honored, and that the son she gave birth to is actually someone he secretly admired. All these kinds of things make him feel that all this is so unbelievable .

But these things are just like what Zhen Wu said, there is absolutely no need for Zhen Wu to lie.

This made him have to believe all this.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." Zhang Pu said, with tears in his eyes.

No one understood his concern and obsession with his adopted sister. If he hadn't insisted on dragging his adopted sister out back then, his sister would not have been separated. Moreover, there has been no news of her for many years.

It turned out that I went to Peking.

No wonder he searched hard for many years without any results.

Zhen Wu said at this moment: "I don't know how much affection you have for my mother, maybe it's not even necessary for you, but for so many years, the only relative my mother has talked about is you. I am married to Princess Yong'an, and I am inseparable from King Yan. If King Yan loses, my mother and I will not be able to survive, so I still want to persuade you, whether it is for Zhang Qi and your daughter If you don’t want to see my mother being implicated by me, or if you don’t want to see my mother suffer, I ask General Zhang to think about it more.”

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu stood up, looked at the restless Zhang Pu and said nothing more, sighed, got on his horse and left by another path.

He has tried his best, when Zhang Pu is willing to give way, he will be more relaxed, if he refuses to give way, then he will have to fight hard.

Do your best to obey destiny.

The mountain wind was still howling.

a long time.

Zhang Pu on the hillside came back to his senses. Looking at the direction Zhen Wu left, he recalled in his mind that he cried and begged his father to take in that poor little orphan girl. Liao never regarded her as a daughter. At that time, there were too many miserable people in this world, and everyone could only restrain their kind thoughts.

But the first time he saw her, he felt like a hit, and he was kind to her.

And she would rather give her life for him, just like she rushed forward for him in the face of the chaos and protected him who was afraid, but she was too weak, so weak that in the end she was defeated by the chaos The coercion made him disappear again.

Zhang Pu finally burst into tears.

He is the elder brother, he thought he could protect her.

But he didn't do it.

Zhang Pu whispered even more: "She came to this world pitifully, and I was the only family member left, but I...but how could I watch her suffer twice without being able to protect her?"

……

Chapter 296 - Qiu Fu died in Dongchang

Unknowingly, it has come to October, and the mountain wind seems to carry the clear coolness of the mountains, blowing on people's bodies, making people feel transparent.

Zhang Pu didn't know how long he stayed on the small hill, until his mind had stabilized before he descended the small hill expressionlessly and rode back to the camp.

He walked fast all the way, and his mood was even more indescribable than when he came here.

After half a century, I am most afraid of reminiscing about the impermanent past. The more I reminisce, the more grievances and loved ones I can’t forget, the more I will press on in my mind, as if I will never let it go.

Zhang Pu was in this state. Although nothing was revealed on his face, the images of his daughters, Zhang Qi and Zhang Yuqing were always circling in his mind.

He sighed lightly.

old!

People can't help themselves.

……

In the next few days, Zhu Di and Sheng Yong set up camps outside the city, and both sides sent a large number of scouts at the same time, trying to find out each other's weaknesses while trying to overwhelm each other in terms of momentum.

Whose scouts are also elite.

Before the army moved, the scout battle between the two sides became an appetizer before the real battle.

At this time, in a village that had long been deserted.

Wu Tie swooped down from the roof and hacked to death a southern army scout. He watched the southern army waiting for his death in horror, and spat on the ground fiercely: "Damn it, I don't know This is Lao Tzu's exploration site, if you dare to stick your hand in, you will die!"

After he finished speaking, there was a sound of horseshoes in the village, and several Yan army scouts on horseback roared to Wu Tie's side: "Head, everything is done, one of them has not been let go."

"Nice job."

Wu Tie stretched out his hand happily and slapped a soldier, and then said proudly: "I'll cut off all my heads, and go back to the camp to record military merits."

"Okay." All the Yan army scouts cheered together.

They quickly chopped off the head of the southern army, and then got on their horses and headed towards the barracks. Someone on the road smiled and sighed: "It's really cool to fight these days. Speaking of which, head, why did we fight so hard this time?" .”

Wu Tie is also a big soldier, how could he understand these things, but he was unwilling to lose face in front of his subordinates, so he pondered for a while and said, "Your Highness probably knew about the opponent's formation before, but this time the opponent came in a hurry. , Your Highness, they should not know much, so we have to go shopping."

After finishing speaking, Wu Tie quickly changed the subject and said, "You little bastard, why are you asking so many questions? It's fine if you don't get credit for it."

"That's right, I guess after this fight, I can raise a small flag no matter what."

A group of Yan army scouts broke out into hearty laughter again.

In the past few days, not only Wu Tie and the others, but also the scouts sent by the Yan Army have basically been competing with the opponent's scouts every day. From the perspective of big data, although they have a slight advantage, overall there are winners and losers. If you lose, you won't get an overwhelming advantage.

However, with the contact between the scouts of the two sides, each has a general understanding of each other's camp.

In this case, Zhu Di took the lead and couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhu Di and the others did not have the advantage of time, so it was impossible for them to fight with each other all the time. After getting a general understanding of the opponent's formation, Zhu Di decided to start mobilizing the army.

As before, he habitually attacked Sheng Yong's left wing.

After Sheng Yong learned of Zhu Di's actions in the barracks, he couldn't help laughing, and the lieutenant beside him was also overjoyed: "General, King Yan is indeed attacking our left wing as before."

Sheng Yong nodded, his eyes shining brightly: "We will win this battle, pass on the order, let the elite infantry arranged on the left wing must be as firm as a rock, and when Zhu Di retreats in spite of the difficulties, we can lure him into my army Chinese Army."

The deputy general said excitedly, "Yes."

Sheng Yong watched the leaving figure of the lieutenant general, and he followed him out of the big tent, looking in the direction of the left wing.

Zhu Di had already fallen into their rhythm step by step, which caused Sheng Yong's desire for victory to spread wildly.

Since Zhu Di raised his army, they have lost every fight, which makes them so unwilling.

They needed a victory that would shock the world to inspire their military spirit and at the same time break Zhu Di's myth of invincibility.

And once they achieve such a big victory, then this big victory is bound to push them all to the highest peak of their lives.

Enduring even in history.

Turn the tide.

What an honor this is.

……

But at this time, behind Sheng Yong, a few horses came here on a higher ground. Zhen Wu got off his horse and looked at the immobile Sheng Yong's army in the distance, silent for a long time.

Zhen Wu never planned to join Zhu Di from the very beginning. They only have more than [-] people, and the impact of joining together will not have too much impact on the battle situation. On the contrary, if they have been hovering behind Sheng Yong, after Sheng Yong showed a flaw, , Give Sheng Yong a painful blow, and maybe the victory can be controlled.

But this requires Zhen Wu's precise judgment of the battle situation.

Because he has no way to know the detailed battle situation on the front line at all now, he can only speculate based on the changes in Sheng Yong's army.

"General Right, when shall we make a move?" Cao Xiaoman asked beside him.

"What? Feeling itchy?" Zhen Wu looked back at Cao Xiaoman.

Cao Xiaoman nodded with a simple smile.

Zhen Wu slapped him on the back of the head: "What stinking virtue, just wait, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu looked in another direction. There was a town called Yuji Town. His [-] cavalry were near the town. It was Zhang Pu who was in charge of defense.

He didn't know what Zhang Pu would think in the end.

Zhen Wu felt a little worried.

However, he secretly made up his mind that no matter whether Zhang Pu lets go or not, he will go all out in this battle to defeat Sheng Yong.

But Zhen Wu didn't expect that he observed Sheng Yong's army for two days without seeing any movement.

The flames of war between the two sides did not seem to have reached the Chinese army.

Zhen Wu didn't know that Zhu Di was in a difficult situation at this time. He didn't expect that Sheng Yong's left wing combat power was so high. Even if he was allowed to attack for two days, he couldn't take advantage of it at all.

Zhu Di couldn't help but began to worry, if Sheng Yong's entire army was so good at fighting, what would happen to his battle? This thought was a dangerous signal, Zhu Di knew it clearly, but he still couldn't control it , This idea is always involuntarily stretching in my mind.

At this time, Qiu Fu suddenly asked to see him.

It was so late, Qiu Fu came here, there must be something important, Zhu Di quickly asked someone to bring Qiu Fu in, when Zhu Di heard Qiu Fu's first words, Zhu Di was so surprised that he couldn't sit still anymore.

"What did you say? Sheng Yong mobilized the most elite infantry in the army and put them on the left wing?" Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu in disbelief.

Qiu Fu said affirmatively: "Yes, Your Highness, I will report this news to Your Highness as soon as I get the news."

"Where did the news come from?" Zhu Di asked.

"The attack didn't go well in the past two days, so I personally captured a scout and got the news from the other party." Qiu Fu said solemnly.

He knew what this news meant to them.

Zhu Di was walking in the big tent, thinking about the accuracy of the news. After thinking about it, Zhu Di suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it must be like this. Thousands of veterans are better at fighting, but now these two days have been on par with us, I can't think of any other reason except that Sheng Yong mobilized elites to the left wing."
