Daning.
King Yan's room.
Zhang Yuzhu Neng came in a hurry.
After closing the door, the three of them looked unhappy.
It has been almost ten days since they entered Daning, but Ning King Zhu Quan has never expressed his stance.
Calculating the time, it has been more than a month since Zhu Di led the main army to leave Peiping.
And the imperial army is afraid that it has reached its final state at this moment, and will launch a fierce attack on Peiping soon!
If Zhu Di continues to stay here, Peiping will definitely not be able to stop the imperial court's 500,000 elite troops!
"Your Majesty, Zhu Quan is clearly hanging on to us on purpose, hoping to use the opportunity to force the Prince to bow to him!"
Zhang Yu said worriedly, obviously a little anxious.
Zhu Di nodded when he heard this. He didn't understand the sinister intentions of the seventeenth brother.
During this period of time, Zhu Quan took him to talk about everything, and held a banquet to entertain him if nothing happened. Anyway, he did not propose troops at all.
Zhu Di took the initiative to mention this matter several times, but Zhu Quan acted as if he didn't hear it. He looked around and didn't take it seriously at all.
If Zhu Quan's plan can no longer be seen, then Zhu Di is not the famous His Highness King Yan!
Zhu Yong said angrily: "This Zhu Quan is really a despicable villain!"
"In order to force the prince to bow to him, he is so short-sighted!"
"Don't he understand that once Peking is lost, not only will the Yan army be destroyed, but his Ning army will not be much better?"
Zhu Yong's words are true. Looking at the entire northern Xinjiang region, only Beiping can be used as the foundation for Longxing, and other places are not suitable at all.
As for Daning, let alone the Guxuan Great Wall. Once the imperial court has dealt with the Yan army, it only needs to control the Great Wall passes such as Juyong Pass and Songting Pass to cut off the supply of food and grass in Daning. Then Daning will become A piece of waste land cannot support 200,000 soldiers based on the level of grain production in Daning.
By then, I'm afraid that the Daning generals will take the lead in rebelling against Zhu Quan without the imperial court taking action!
So Zhu Yong scolded Zhu Quan for being short-sighted, which is true.
In order to force King Yan Zhu Di to bow to Zhu Quan and seize the leadership of the Jingnan Rebel Army, it is indeed stupid and short-sighted to do such an act.
Zhu Di thought for a moment, then looked at his two confidants.
"How have you been keeping in touch during this time?"
Zhu Di accompanied Zhu Quan to eat, drink and have fun, tactfully, but he did not forget his mission to Daning.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng each secretly visited a group of Daning generals, trying to win over these Daning generals, thereby evading Ning King Zhu Quan.
"Most of the Daning border generals are grateful for the prince's kindness, so they agreed to surrender directly to the Yan army."
"But there are a small number of generals who are direct descendants of King Ning Zhu Quan and hold high positions among Daning's soldiers, so these generals do not dare to act rashly."
"In addition, the whereabouts of the two of us should have fallen into Zhu Quan's eyes, and we are always followed by our tail."
When Zhu Di heard this, he was not worried but happy. He chuckled and said, "Zhu Quan knows, which is actually a good thing for us."
"This seventeenth brother of my king has great ambitions but little talent. He has great ambitions but no kingly bearing. He is narrow-minded and cannot achieve great things!"
"Now that he knows that those generals are dealing with you, he will naturally not tolerate them. We don't need to do this crude alienation plan. Zhu Quan will fall for it himself. We just need to wait for Zhu Quan to fall into the trap!"
Little did Zhu Di know that their every word and deed was under the surveillance of Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
But even so, Zhu Di still sent Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng to win over the Daning generals, just to make Zhu Quan and the generals alienate.
This is the cause of personality defects.
Zhu Quan was born into a noble family in Tianhuang. He always thought highly of himself and was narrow-minded.
If he knew that his subordinates had close contacts with the Yan army, he would definitely be furious and deal with those generals.
Little did he know that what Zhu Di wanted was this kind of effect. He could win people's hearts for nothing, so why not do it?
"Two generals, please find a reason to leave the city and go to the camp."
"I don't intend to go on like this, it's time to teach that seventeenth brother a lesson!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng both felt happy in their eyes.
They were very worried about the outcome of the war in Peiping, and were eager to capture Ning Wang Zhu Quan as soon as possible, and then lead their troops to rescue Peiping.
After all, Peiping is the foundation of the Yan Army. If Peking is lost, the Yan Army will really be ruined.
"After the two generals return, that's it..."
The three began to plot against Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
At the same time, inside Prince Ning’s Mansion.
Zhu Quan was furious.
He held a list in his hand. It was the Daning generals who had close contacts with Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng in this short period of time. The names on it were as many as dozens!
Zhu Quan never thought that these people were all his subordinates and would dare to have close contact with the Yan army, and they were still in Daning City!
Why, do you really think that this king is dead?
I'm still alive and well, right in front of you!
Are you just flirting with King Yan Zhu Di openly and openly, without betraying anyone at all?
"It's too much!"
"It's so deceiving!"
Zhu Quan roared angrily and pressed the list on the table with one palm.
A confidant said in a sinister tone: "Your Majesty, if we continue like this, I'm afraid there will be changes in the army!"
"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, is very ambitious and will never bow to the prince easily. He is not as good as us..."
The man wiped his neck, not concealing his murderous intention towards Zhu Di.
For these confidants of King Ning, killing King Yan Zhu Di is undoubtedly the best solution at the moment!
As long as Yan King Zhu Di dies, the 100,000 Yan troops outside the city will be leaderless. The Ning army will take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and surrender without a fight.
After swallowing these 100,000 Yan troops, the Ning army's strength will grow to 300,000. Then they will raid the city of Beiping, seize the founding place, and inherit everything from Yan King Zhu Di. Then Ning King Zhu Quan will be completely defeated. .
At that time, 300,000 elite border troops will fight against the imperial court's 500,000 elite troops. Even if they lose, they can still hold on to the city.
However, the imperial army is in a different place, with insufficient food and grass supplies, and will retreat sooner or later. Ning's army can take advantage of the situation to capture the cities in northern Xinjiang, seal the territory, and establish himself as emperor!
I have to admit, this is a very tempting suggestion.
Zhu Quan's eyes flickered, filled with unspeakable ambition.
However, he was not dazzled by his ambition. After calming down, he still shook his head in denial.
"Zhu Di is different from any vassal king. He was once the military marshal of the northern Xinjiang garrison and had a very high prestige among the border troops!"
"If Zhu Di dies in Daning and in the hands of my king, the generals there will definitely not surrender to my king. They will even fight back desperately and take my king's head to the court to forgive his sin!"
Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact.
Zhu Quan asked himself that his prestige among the frontier soldiers was far less than that of his fourth brother Zhu Di.
Therefore, Zhu Quan must not take action against Zhu Di, otherwise he will be extinct from the world!
After hearing this, all the confidants could only sigh and gave up on this unrealistic plan.
Zhu Quan pondered for a long time with a cold face, and finally a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
"Arrest all these traitors and imprison them for the time being!"
Yes, he, Zhu Quan, thinks he is not as good as Zhu Di, but this is what he, Zhu Quan, thinks.
How dare you ministers have such thoughts?
I'm not dead yet, and you're thinking of surrendering to the enemy and rebelling?
What a bunch of damn bitches!
