The generals were immediately shocked. They had just seen King Yan treat Duke Ying so courteously, and they had a good impression of them, but they didn't expect that they would be scolded like this!
If Zhu Di hadn't praised Fu Youde before, everyone wouldn't have had much emotional fluctuations and would have just gritted their teeth and endured it.
However, with such a huge contrast between before and after, the hearts of the generals were instantly filled with resentment.
But King Yan was a prince, and they did not dare to direct their anger at King Yan, so they could only become dissatisfied with Fu Youde.
Liu Zhen mingled among the crowd. He instantly felt the resentment of everyone around him. He suppressed the secret joy in his heart and thought about how to use this opportunity.
Fu Youde did not feel the dissatisfaction of the people behind him. He was now eager to take over Beiping City and Yanshanwei.
"The Emperor has decreed that he will take over Beiping and Yanshanwei at the end of his life. Please make it convenient for the prince..."
"Convenient, of course it's convenient. It won't be inconvenient for you to come to Peiping." Zhu Di laughed, looking like he wanted everything he wanted, which made everyone even more confused.
"But it's getting late today, and it's too late to hand over the baby now. How about I take the bus to Yingguo tomorrow to pick him up?"
Fu Youde looked up and saw that it was indeed getting late. Moreover, King Yan behaved so abnormally that he did not dare to enter Beiping City rashly. What if he was ambushed?
"Okay, I will listen to the prince in the end."
Zhu Di reminisced with Fu Youde with a smile on his face, and then reluctantly left.
That night, Fu Youde camped outside the city to rest temporarily.
In a tent, Liu Zhen began to move.
He found generals who had a good relationship with him on weekdays.
Everyone walked in one after another and smiled at Liu Zhen: "General Liu, do you want to treat us?"
When everyone arrived, Liu Zhen said with a sad expression on her face: "A disaster is imminent. Even if we treat you, will you still be able to eat?"
"General, what's wrong? We're doing well, what's the trouble?" A general glanced at everyone and said with a smile.
Liu Zhen's face was as calm as water. After glancing at everyone, she sighed: "What's the trouble? Do you know what we came to Peking for?"
"Of course it's to take over Beiping City and Yanshan Guard!"
Speaking of this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Originally, they were all stationed at the border, where the environmental conditions were harsh. If it weren't for the military orders, they wouldn't have wanted to be taken to such a secluded place.
But where is Beiping City? This is the most important city in the entire north of the Ming Dynasty. It has a large population and numerous business travelers. How can the prosperity of the market be comparable to that of the border areas?
Everyone had been feeling the cold wind blowing at the border for many years, and no one was unhappy after receiving the news.
"You still remember that we came to take over Beiping City and Yanshan Guard! But if you were the King of Yan, would you welcome the people who came to seize his inheritance so much?"
Facing Liu Zhen's questioning, everyone looked at each other.
Someone tentatively said: "King Yan didn't welcome us, did he? During the day, he scolded us until we were worthless!"
Liu Zhen couldn't help but glance at this person with admiration, and accepted the words so considerately that he didn't even have to find an excuse.
After a pause, Liu Zhen smiled coldly: "We were scolded so badly by King Yan, but my father-in-law and King Yan hit it off right away!"
"this......"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they all thought of an unpleasant situation.
Liu Zhen added: "Maybe Duke Ying and King Yan didn't hit it off. Maybe they had met countless times before?"
The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and everyone began to speculate. They only felt a chill coming over them. Even the bonfire in front of them could not bring them any warmth.
"What do you mean, General?"
Liu Zhen calmed down and said coldly: "We can't be led by others, otherwise we will be in doom!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "General, please give me an idea!"
Seeing that Liu Zhen had attracted everyone to his side, she directly falsely accused Fu Youde and King Yan of having an irreconcilable relationship, and even cited numerous evidences. For example, Fu Youde's eldest son is Princess Shouchun, and Princess Shouchun is often taken care of by King Yan, and they have a good relationship with each other.
"Everyone, I think Duke Ying is not here to take over Beiping City and Yanshan Guards, but to seek refuge with King Yan! If Duke Ying surrenders to King Yan, is there any way for us to survive?"
Liu Zhen showed everyone the many assumptions about the collusion between Fu Youde and Zhu Di. In addition, everyone saw the intimate behavior of Fu Youde and King Yan during the day, as well as the resentment in their hearts. They couldn't help but believe Liu Zhen's words.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Liu Zhen immediately encouraged everyone to rush into the commander's tent overnight and control Fu Youde.
"Do you want to rebel?"
Fu Youde was held back by someone, but he still struggled and glared at Liu Zhen.
"My lord, I'm sorry!" Liu Zhen clasped her fists coldly, "My lord, have you colluded with King Yan a long time ago, right? I'm afraid my lord will give us all to King Yan tomorrow, right?"
"What are you colluding with King Yan? Liu Zhen, what are you talking about?" Fu Youde was stunned and did not react for a while.
"Liu Zhen, it's you! You are the one who colluded with King Yan, right? What do you want to do?"
Liu Zhen's heart tightened, and she immediately shouted: "Take him down and imprison him until he confronts King Yan tomorrow!"
Everyone was originally a little confused after hearing Fu Youde's words, but now that the matter has come to this, even if they let Fu Youde go now, they would still be committing a serious crime of causing rebellion.
Everyone could only walk to the dark side and take Fu Youde down and lock him up.
Liu Zhen took the opportunity to gain military power and immediately sent her confidants to Beiping City to inform Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di returned, he couldn't sleep at all. He didn't know if Liu Zhen could succeed. If he failed, tonight would be the last night he could spend safely.
"Your Majesty, Liu Zhen is here to report!"
Yao Guangxiao ran in with a memorial and said with surprise on his face.
"Speak quickly! How is the situation?" Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao nervously, fearing that something bad would come out of his mouth.
Feng Sheng smiled calmly, "What are you still worried about, Your Majesty? Since it is the report sent by Liu Zhen, it is naturally good news!"
Zhu Di also reacted instantly. Yes, if Liu Zhen had failed, then he would have been killed by now. How could he send someone to retaliate?
"Quick, show me the king!"
Yao Guangxiao quickly handed the memorial to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di glanced at it hurriedly, then closed it with some reluctance. He immediately straightened his expression and ordered: "Who is coming, send an army out of the city immediately to meet Liu Zhen!"
"yes!"
Liu Zhen learned that King Yan was coming to take over the army immediately, so she quickly ordered the removal of all night sentries.
Zhu Di quietly approached with his army overnight, and controlled the general camp without a fight.
Liu Zhen strode out of the commander's tent and immediately knelt down to Zhu Di: "General Liu Zhen, pay your respects to His Highness King Yan!"
"Hahaha, good! General Liu has achieved this feat, and I will reward you greatly." Zhu Di laughed happily and personally reached out to help Liu Zhen up.
At this time, the other lieutenants looked at all this in stunned silence, and then they realized that they had been deceived by Liu Zhen.
"Liu Zhen! It turns out that you are the one who colluded with King Yan!"
Liu Zhen turned around and looked at these people with a smile on her face. The overall situation was decided, and he looked like he had a chance to win.
"If you don't have any objections, how can I convince you with just a few words?"
When these words were spoken, several lieutenants were speechless and lowered their heads. They did have selfish motives, and Liu Zhen took advantage of them.
Just imagine, if they really trusted Duke Ying, how could Liu Zhen succeed?
Liu Zhen calmed down her aggressive attitude and sighed: "You personally arrested Fu Youde, and none of you can escape the serious crime of causing rebellion!"
"Liu Zhen, we trust you so much, and you actually lied to me. Even if we fight to the death, we won't make it easy for you!"
Liu Zhen glanced at this person with a sneer, and said calmly: "Do you still have the ability to defeat everything?"
Everyone's expressions were stunned. They were now the meat on Liu Zhen's chopping board. How could they have any room to resist?
Seeing this, Liu Zhen softened her tone and advised: "We have worked together for many years. You don't know what kind of person I, Liu Zhen, am! Now even if you return to the court, you will not escape death! Your Highness, King Yan, is destiny. Rather than die in vain, you might as well take refuge in the prince. Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to work together again?"
Seeing that everyone was agitated, Zhu Di immediately took a step forward and shouted loudly: "If you are willing to surrender to me, I will not only forget the past, but I will also record a great merit for you! Otherwise..."
Otherwise, they will only die.
Everyone looked at each other, bowed their heads and knelt down: "General, I will pay homage to the prince later! Please don't give up and take me in."
"Hahaha, everyone, please get up!"
Quietly, a hundred thousand troops changed hands.
Zhu Di immediately sent people to firmly control the army.
At dawn, hundreds of thousands of troops entered the city one after another, as if they were really going to take over the city of Beiping.
But no one knew that Fu Youde had been taken back to Prince Yan's Mansion by Zhu Di last night and imprisoned.
Therefore, no one will see the handover between Fu Youde and King Yan.
...
After removing the threat from Fu Youde and gaining an army of 100,000 troops, Zhu Di was in a good mood.
Feng Sheng and Yao Guangxiao were found, and the three of them sat together to drink tea.
Seeing Zhu Di's inexplicable excitement, Feng Sheng took a sip of tea and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Zhu Di raised his head, "The commander-in-chief will tell you what he has to say."
Feng Sheng put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Fu Youde's threat is gone, but the threat from the north of Wangye has not been completely eliminated!"
Zhu Di lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Feng Sheng: "Commander, what do you mean, Lao Qi's soldiers and horses?"
Without Fu Youde's army, the only thing that could threaten him in the entire north was Ning Wang Zhu Quan's troops.
Zhu Quan had 80,000 armored men, although Han Du took the opportunity to trick tens of thousands away. But after the war, these soldiers and horses were returned to him by Zhu Biao.
Moreover, because of his meritorious service in sending troops, he received many rewards. Zhu Quan not only replenished Ning Wei, but also made a lot of money.
