Although he had not slept for two nights, Zhu Di, who was wearing armor, did not look tired or decadent at all, at least on the surface.
He was riding on a tall horse, which still gave people a strong sense of oppression. Zhu Neng walked to Zhu Di's side, took the reins of the horse, and said to Zhu Di: "The general knows that he cannot persuade the prince, so let the general go with the prince. Even if Dongchang City is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the general will not I am willing to follow the prince to have a try.
"Now that it has reached this point, the Yan army is at the end of its rope, but at least it has no fighting spirit. This battle is really unwinnable.
But under such circumstances, Zhu Neng still followed Zhu Di resolutely, which shows his loyalty.
Although he was moved, Zhu Di still shook his head and said loudly: "No need! Who in Dongchang City dares to do harm to me?
Shihong just waits for me here. There must be someone in the military formation, so these young men of the Yan army will leave it to Shihong.
Zhu Neng wanted to say something else, but he suddenly thought that Zhang Yu was still in the military formation. If he and King Yan entered the city at this time, Zhang Yu's family would be the only one in the army. If Zhang Yu really wanted to With a rebellious heart, if there is no way to negotiate, there will be no way out.
After thinking about this, Zhu Neng took half a step back, cupped his fists towards Zhu Di and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely guard this place and not let anyone take advantage of it.
After saying that, Zhu Neng looked around. He also felt strange. Why didn't he see Zhang Yu for such an important matter today?
Zhu Di nodded and was about to set off with the guard camp, but he didn't want to be interrupted by a voice at this moment.
"My lord, please wait." Everyone's eyes were attracted by this voice. The soldiers also made way for one another.
I saw Zhang Yu walking over with his son Zhang Fu. Zhang Yu was neatly dressed in helmet and armor, but Zhang Fu was only wearing inner clothes and was tied with hemp ropes.
Zhu Neng glanced at the father and son and shouted sternly: "The negotiation is about to begin, Zhang Yu, what kind of monster are you doing at this time?
Zhang Yu ignored Zhu Neng and led Zhang Fu to Zhu Di. Zhu Di frowned slightly and asked, "What is Shimei doing?
Zhang Yu saluted Zhu Di, then saluted the soldiers on the left and right, and then said: "The representative of the court negotiation is my nephew. I know that some people are quite suspicious of me, and some are worried that Dongchang City is a It was a trap, so I brought my son and asked my son to enter the city with the prince. If my nephew had any bad intentions in the city, the prince could take my son and exit calmly.
Zhu Neng sneered, "Zhang Yu! Stop pretending here, knowing people and faces but not the heart. Who knows whether your Zhang family would give up a son in exchange for glory and wealth?"
You, Zhang Yu, have more than one son, Zhang Fu, right? "After hearing this, not to mention Zhang Yu, even Zhang Fu was very angry. Even if he had a rope tied to his body, he still gritted his teeth and wanted to go over and fight Zhu Neng.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu was still relatively sober. He pulled Zhang Fu over, shook his head gently, and then said: "I, Zhang Yu, do have other sons, all of whom were born to my concubine in the past two years. I only have one legitimate son, Zhang Fu, and tiger poison does not eat its children. How can I, Zhang Yu, sacrifice my legitimate son in exchange for glory and wealth?
Besides, my nephew also has a pure nature. As long as Zhang Fu is here, he will never do anything extraordinary.
Zhu Neng was still sneering, "Zhang Yu, I believe what you say, but how do you want me to believe in your nephew's character?"
This is a war, and the life and death of so many people and families is at stake, but you bet it all on the character of your nephew?
Zhang Yu, I can tell you without hesitation, I just don’t believe you or your nephew. The only thing I trust is the steel knife in my hand!
If something goes wrong in this negotiation, what will you tell these soldiers? "Zhu Neng's words are indeed correct. He and Zhang Ren have never met, so how can he trust Zhang Ren?
Zhang Yu also knew that he could not convince Zhu Neng, so he took off his helmet, took off the long knife from his waist, and threw it to the ground.
"Just use my Zhang Yu's life. The soldiers of the three armies are here. If there is a conspiracy in Dongchang City, I, Zhang Yu, will be at your disposal!
"Zhu Neng's pupils narrowed and he said nothing more. Zhu Di said at this moment: "Shimei doesn't have to be like this, I believe in Shimei.
Zhang Fu, come here. "Zhang Fu followed the instructions and walked to Zhu Di. Without saying a word, Zhu Di took out the long knife from his waist and slashed it down.
Zhang Fu was not injured at all, but the rope that bound him was cut off. He was somewhat confused and looked up at Zhu Di blankly.
Zhu Di smiled slightly and said loudly: "Go get a good armor for Zhang Fu! When you go to Dongchang City, you must wear something more majestic. Otherwise, how can you show the style of our Yan army?"
In the past, our Yan army could kill Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops until they were completely defeated. Today, how can the small Dongchang City scare away our Yan army men?
"Zhu Di's words echoed at the scene. The whole army stood in order. The spearmen pointed the ground with their guns and the sword and shield soldiers slapped their shields with their swords. The whole army shouted three times: "No fear!
not afraid! not afraid! "Yan Jun's fighting spirit seemed to be stirred up again at this moment. Zhang Yu also pulled Zhang Fu to kneel down on one knee and said loudly: "I will thank the prince for his trust. Zhang Yu will follow the prince to the death for the rest of his life!"
"Such a noise came from the Yan Army camp, and it naturally spread to the top of Dongchang City. Sheng Yong squinted his eyes and took a look and said, "I thought that the Yan army was already unable to continue, but unexpectedly it still has such high morale. I'm afraid this negotiation will not be easy.
"Zhang Ren stood aside and shrugged, and said, "Who knows, when King Yan comes, we can first explore the truth and hear what King Yan wants.
"Both Sheng Yong and Zhang Ren knew that if the food and grass in Daming Mansion had not been burned, the court would be more confident in negotiating. Anyway, there was enough food and grass. By then, as long as the negotiation process was delayed, the soldiers left behind in Hangzhou would no longer be able to negotiate. Hold a training session or something to show the prowess of the imperial officers. When the time comes, no matter what conditions the imperial court proposes, King Yan will only accept them by pinching their noses.
But now that all the food and grass in Daming Mansion have been destroyed, even if Zhu Di did not do this, this kind of thing cannot be hidden for long.
At this time of negotiation, the initiative will be transferred to the Yan army. Sheng Yong was helpless and could only sigh and said, "That's all.
"On the Yan Army side, Zhang Fu has already put on a suit of armor. Zhu Di looked at Zhang Fu and couldn't help but nodded and said, "Zhang Fu is well-groomed and worthy of being Shimei's legitimate son. Let's go and follow this king to the top of Dongchang City to see the scenery.
"Zhu Di spoke so arrogantly that Zhang Fu immediately accepted the order and said: "Zhang Fu will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the Yan army.
After saying that, he got on the horse. Zhu Di nodded, waved the whip in his hand, and the horse galloped away.
Zhu Di's personal guards also rode horses, following closely behind. Amidst the bursts of smoke and dust, Zhu Di led the people towards Dongchang City.
The two sides were very close, but in an instant, Zhu Di arrived at the foot of Dongchang City. He slowed down his horse speed and looked up at Zhang Ren and Sheng Yong on the top of the city.
The two of them also looked at Zhu Di at this moment and bowed respectfully. Even though he had been deprived of the title of king, as an opponent, Zhu Di was still worthy of respect.
Zhu Di rode on the horse and nodded his head slightly in response. Then they went to the city gate, but no one knew that in the gate tower at the head of Dongchang City, there was already a man dressed as a Ming army, slowly pulling out a long knife from his waist.
The closer he got to the city gate, the more panicked Zhu Di became. He just thought it was because he hadn't slept for two nights, so he didn't think much about it.
Just when he was about to enter the city gate, a burst of birdsong suddenly sounded in the sky. The man in the gatehouse suddenly opened his eyes and cut off the brake wheel beside him with a knife.
This brake wheel was used to fix the Qianjin Gate in Dongchang City. Now that it was free of restraints, the Qianjin Gate fell straight down.
Zhu Di originally wanted to raise his eyes to see where the bird chirping came from, but when he raised his head, he broke into a cold sweat. He watched the gate, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, fall, and it was too late to retreat.
Just hearing the sound of "Duang", the gate fell heavily. Fortunately, he smashed the door and fell against Zhu Di's mount, but did not hit Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and his mount stood upright due to fright. Without thinking, Zhu Di turned his horse's head and headed towards the Yan army. This Dongchang City was probably a trap.
Sheng Yong and Zhang Ren on the tower naturally heard the loud noise and saw Zhu Di riding away.
Zhang Ren secretly said something bad and immediately opened the door and entered the concierge. It's just that apart from the destroyed gate wheel, are there any figures in the gatehouse now?
Sheng Yong also followed closely and asked, "What's going on?" Zhang Ren took a deep breath and said, "The Thousand Jin Gate was broken. I think it shocked King Yan. It seems that someone secretly didn't want it." The negotiation went smoothly.
Sheng Yong looked outside the door and said, "King Yan is frightened. He won't trust me anymore in the future. It's better to take this opportunity and capture King Yan in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Zhang Ren quickly held down Sheng Yong's arm and said, "No, general. My uncle is the general of the Yan army. Let me go. I will definitely persuade King Yan to come back for negotiations."
Sheng Yong glared at Zhang Ren and took Zhang Ren's hand off his arm. He said: "I am General Ping Yan. This negotiation has not been concluded. I don't care whether it is man-made or not. It is God's will." Now Zhu Di and his main force are outside the city, and my troops are also outside the city. They are at odds with Dongchang City. As long as we attack now, we will definitely defeat the Yan army!
I have no reason to give up this great opportunity. Zhang Ren immediately said: "Has the general forgotten that your majesty asked me to take full responsibility for this matter?"
Sheng Yong said softly: "I haven't forgotten, this matter is over. I will go to your majesty to apologize!" After saying that, Sheng Yong got off the city wall, mounted his horse, and led his men to pursue Zhu Di, but the east gate was already closed. Being blocked, he had to take a detour.
As Sheng Yong walked quickly, he ordered his men to blow the horn of attack. Night Rivers and Lakes. (After reading this, remember to bookmark it for next time reading!
