Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Di sat on the main seat.
Dao Yan and Jin Zhong sat on both sides.
The two of them were reporting in detail on the major and minor events that had occurred in Beiping City during this period.
Compared with Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of Yan, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was the lord they truly loyal to.
Therefore, the two complemented each other and outlined a bloody and difficult battle to defend Peiping.
Zhu Di was silent for a long time after hearing this, and even had a trace of fear on his face.
Only when he was truly immersed in the situation did he realize how difficult it was for Chi'er to defend Beiping!
If all the soldiers are dead, then go up to the top of the city and kill the enemy in person!
If you don’t have enough food and grass, don’t eat it yourself and save it for the soldiers!
If the city gate is about to be broken down, then you should personally lead the young men and women to block the city gate with your body!
Zhu Gaochi's performance in this battle to defend Peiping was beyond everyone's imagination!
If you have a son like this, what else can you ask for?
Zhu Di was immediately relieved, and tears fell faintly from the corners of his eyes.
Zhu Di has never been very satisfied with this eldest son.
Because Zhu Gaochi was born obese and frail, he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, and he didn't look like himself at all.
As a father, he naturally prefers sons who look like his own, such as the brave and capable second son Zhu Gaoxu!
Zhu Di was also not immune to secularism. He was very partial to his second son, Zhu Gaoxu, and even had the idea of making Zhu Gaoxu the heir apparent.
As expected, his request was not only rejected by Emperor Taizu Gao, but was also scolded by Emperor Taizu Gao, who directly appointed Zhu Gaochi as the Crown Prince of Yan.
Zhu Di was very dissatisfied with this, and even disliked his eldest son even more.
It wasn't until today that he repented, and even felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
My eldest son is not a coward!
"Chi'er did really well this time!"
Zhu Di sighed, "If it weren't for him, Beiping City would have been lost."
"We didn't even expect that Li Jinglong would send Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan to lead their troops to stop the attack!"
Monk Dao Yan was also frightened for a while, and he still has lingering fears.
This plan of his carries great risks.
The key to the plan lies in whether Beiping City can be defended and whether King Zhu Di of Yan can return reinforcements in time!
Beiping City is the foundation of the Yan Army. If Beiping City is lost, the Yan Army will be reduced to a lost dog, without any hope or possibility of rising.
But there were two variables in this plan.
One is Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan, who led their troops to block the Yan army for half a month, almost causing the entire Yan army to fall into despair!
The other one is the banished immortal from Xishan, Su Yang!
"Your Majesty, our army can achieve a complete victory this time. It can be said that Su Sheng has made great contributions!"
"Especially in the battle to defend Beiping, if the prince had not received the help of Su Sheng, I am afraid it would be difficult to defend Beiping!"
Monk Daoyan did not forget to ask for merit for Su Yang.
After all, Su Yang saved them several times this time.
Not to mention asking for credit, Monk Daoyan wanted to be Su Sheng's lackey. The problem was that he didn't want to!
Zhu Di smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Su Yang's merit is far more than this!"
"Perhaps you still don't know that the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Three-Eyed Cannon developed by Su Yang are extremely lethal and can be called weapons on the battlefield!"
"In addition, during the confrontation between the two armies, Su Yang has been delivering food and grass to our army, providing rations for the soldiers of the three armies, and solving my urgent need. Otherwise, there would be no such great victory!"
"What?" Jin Zhong was shocked, "Is Su Sheng still delivering food and grass to the main army?"
He really didn't know this.
"Beiping City's food and grass are always provided by Xishan."
Hearing this, Zhu Di also looked shocked, and then smiled again.
"Looking at it this way, Xishan has mastered mature potato planting techniques!"
Dao Yan and Jin Zhong both nodded, this is the only reasonable explanation.
You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Beiping City, plus the main army of 300,000, the population goes straight to one million.
However, Xishan can insist on providing them with rations. What a terrifying astronomical figure!
But Xishan did it, that Su Sheng really did it!
When they thought of this, the three of them felt a little inexplicable.
Is this the banished immortal?
Zhu Di suddenly asked a question.
"The king is going to Xishan tomorrow."
"Do you two gentlemen think it's time to tell Su Yang?"
tell what?
That must be his true identity, Zhu Di!
The war has reached this point, and he, Zhu Di, has finally established a firm foothold in northern Xinjiang. The next step will naturally be to reward his merits and move south!
Zhu Di wished he could take Su Yang with him to advise him and strategize, so he could rush into the imperial capital of Jinling in one go and overthrow the scholar Zhu Yunwen's Jianwen court!
Jin Zhong and Dao Yan looked at each other, and both of them were a little silent.
If Su Yang is still the same as before, then just show off his cards, it's no big deal.
But the problem now is that Su Yang is Su Sheng!
They have all witnessed the ability to banish immortals.
This has to be treated with caution.
Monk Daoyan was silent for a moment, but suddenly smiled and spoke.
"Your Majesty, actually we have all fallen into a misunderstanding."
"Oh?" Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, "Monk, what do you mean by this?"
"Su Sheng is a banished immortal. He can even calculate the progress of the war. Does Su Sheng really not know the identity of the prince?"
Monk Dao Yan innocently spread his hands with a wry smile on his lips.
As soon as he said these words, Zhu Di was dumbfounded.
It seems...that's really what happened!
They are banishing immortals!
They even know the progress of the war clearly!
How could he not calculate that Zhu Di was King Yan?
Zhu Di was dumbfounded, and his expression suddenly became weird.
As a bastard like you, you have known my identity for a long time, and you have been pretending to be stupid with me, right?
What a...bastard!
When I remembered that when I got along with Su Yang before, I was quite cautious, lest my true identity be exposed.
It turned out that people had known about it for a long time and were just cooperating with his acting.
Zhu Di suddenly became a little angry and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"This bastard is nothing!"
"Since he already knew it, why did he still pretend to be dumbfounded?"
Jin Zhong smiled bitterly and explained: "Your Majesty, Su Sheng has always been indifferent to fame and wealth. Things like glory and wealth are just a fleeting thing to Su Sheng."
"The reason why he chose to act stupid and did not want to be honest with the prince is probably because of this. After all, the banished immortal has noble aspirations and is far more noble than ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face darkened and he looked at Jin Zhong with an evil look.
"Jin Changshi, who do you think is an ordinary person?"
Jin Zhong: "..."
"Ahem, please calm down, Your Majesty."
"Well, you really can't blame Su Sheng."
"At least they are willing to help me, Yan Jun, which is already commendable."
Monk Dao Yan helped: "Your Majesty will go to Xishan tomorrow. Don't deliberately flatter him. Just do what you have to do. Just maintain a good relationship with Su Sheng..."
"Deliberately flattering?" Zhu Di became angry and roared: "I am still going to flatter this bastard?"
"No matter how powerful he is, he is still my son-in-law. How can a father cater to his son?"
"Humph, I don't know what it means!"
Zhu Di left angrily.
Daoyan and Jin Zhong looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
