At the same time.
Zhu Yunwen from Nanjing was annoyed.
"Report! Reporting to the Emperor! Fang Sheng, the general of Tongzhou Province, surrenders!"
"Ji Prefecture City has fallen. General Ma Xuan died on the battlefield!”
"Juyong Pass has also fallen, and the defending general Yu Zhen abandoned the city and ran to Zai Huai Lai.”
Bad news came from the front line one after another. Zhu Yunwen directly flipped the table and flew into a rage.
"Trash! Trash!"
"You're all trash!"
"There were less than 800 people when we started the army, but you actually took down several fortresses in Beiping in succession. Fourth Uncle, you're really something!”
"Your Majesty!" Huang Zicheng took a step forward.
"General Song Zhong, who is stationed in Huailai, has tens of thousands of elite armor in his hands. He must be unbreakable. Don't worry, even though the front lines have suffered setbacks, this is not a bad thing for Great Ming.”
"Oh? Why is it a good thing to lose a battle?" Zhu Yunwen was very surprised.
Huang Zicheng slowly said," First of all, this matter has awakened Your Majesty. The Imperial Court is not as perfect as it seems on the surface. There are still many decayed teeth hidden. If we can get rid of them, my Great Ming will definitely rise to a higher level.”
" Secondly, Fang Sheng of Tongzhou Province must have planned to surrender for a long time. This kind of person usually takes Ming Dynasty's salary but turns around at a critical time. It's really a shame for Ming Dynasty. Now, we can get rid of him quickly and give the world a warning. We can tell the world that the seller will have a miserable end.”
Zhu Yunwen nodded." My dear minister, you are right. The reason is that my fourth uncle is still too weak. What is there to worry about?"”
"Pass on my decree, order General Song Zhong to immediately send troops to rehabilitate!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A messenger came in from outside the hall.
"Report! Reporting to the Emperor! The Yan army fought with our army in front of Huailai City. Sun Tai, the commander of the capital, died. Our army was defeated. Huailai has fallen. Song Zhong, Yu Chen, and the commander Peng Ju have been captured!”
" What?!"
Not only Zhu Yunwen, but all the civil and military officials were shocked.
They were just about to order Song Zhong to take the initiative to attack when they received the news that Huailai had been breached.
The huge court instantly fell silent.
Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter.
"Minister Huang, what do you think?"
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while and looked at Huang Zicheng.
"I think that we can't let the King of Yan develop like this. We should immediately recall all the vassal kings around Beiping to the capital.”
Huang Zicheng said after some thought.
"Are you worried that my uncles will join forces to rebel?”
"We can't rule out this possibility, so we have to take precautions in advance.”
"How do you think we can solve this problem?”Zhu Yunwen asked again.
Huang Zicheng said thoughtfully," When the King of Yan first raised his army, there were only 800 of them. Even if many generals surrender now, I estimate that they will only have 50,000 soldiers at most. It is not a big deal for the court."”
"The Emperor only needs to order the generals of Kaiping, Longmen, Shanggu, Yunzhong and other places to lead the army to attack together.”
" Well..." Zhu Yunwen thought about it and nodded,""Zhen also feels that there is no need to make a big fuss over this. Zhen Ming has millions of soldiers, and a mere 50,000 is just to tickle Zhen.”
"Then we will do as you say and draft a decree…"
……
At the same time.
Xuan Manor, located above Huailai.
The vassal king of the Xuan Mansion, King Gu Zhu, received Zhu Di's letter.
At the same time, Zhu Yunwen's edict also arrived.
At this moment, Zhu Rong frowned, feeling very troubled.
On one side was his fourth brother, and on the other side was his nephew.
What should he do?
In fact, he was very disgusted with Zhu Yunwen's cutting of the vassal and didn't want to help Zhu Yunwen.
This nephew of his was really ruthless to his uncles. Even if he helped them, they would still have to face the fate of being cut off.
However, he did not want to help Zhu Di.
This was because there was a huge disparity in strength between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen. Moreover, it was a rebellion, which was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.
Zhu Di had only tens of thousands of soldiers, and he only had Beiping and a few small cities around him.
Could this bit of strength defeat the Imperial Court, which had millions of soldiers?
Without a doubt.
If he helped Zhu Di, he would be courting death.
Neither wanted to help?
Zhu Rong had just thought of this, but he instantly rejected it.
In this way, no matter who won in the end, he would be unlucky.
He had to make a decision!
Zhu Rong thought about it and finally decided to join Zhu Yunwen.
He felt that the imperial court did not pay attention to this battle at all, which was why Zhu Di had taken advantage of it.
In the end, it was impossible for Zhu Di to defeat the imperial court.
He stood at this time and helped Zhu Yunwen. Presumably, his nephew wouldn't kill the donkey when he was done.
Perhaps he could take this opportunity to develop himself.
He had already made up his mind and left the Xuan Manor overnight to report to Nanjing.
As for Zhu Di's letter, he didn't even reply.
He even ordered the messenger to be killed to show his determination.
