Beijing.
When Yang Xuan learned about Li Jinglong's delaying plan, he couldn't help but laugh: "This guy is really a talent!"
Immediately, he couldn't help but worry again.
Although Li Jinglong delayed it for a few days in the name of rest, he still had to attack the city after all.
He already knows that there are only 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left by Zhu Di in Beiping City today.
It is really difficult to rely on these people to defend Beiping City against the siege of half a million troops.
You know, senior sister Xu Miaoyun and three brothers Zhu Gaochi are all in the city. Once the city is breached, the consequences will be disastrous.
Now he has done all he can do.
I just pray that Zhu Laosi can come back soon.
"Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, you have to hurry up."
…
Beiping.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were leading people to inspect the city defense.
After the two met, they exchanged the information they had.
"Li Jinglong is indeed as useless as dad said. He's been here for a few days and he still hasn't attacked the city."
"Now, the defenses everywhere have been improved."
"As long as they attack the city, they will definitely encounter a bloody blow."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled.
"Second brother, don't be careless."
"After all, there are half a million enemies."
Zhu Gaochi said.
He stood on the city wall and looked at the dark army heading towards Peiping, his expression changed drastically.
"Quick, hurry up and send the order, the enemy is about to attack the city."
"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to be careless, nodded and turned around to leave.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the endless army in the distance and swallowed his saliva.
Too many, too many!
He didn't know if he could hold Beiping, but now, he could only fight hard.
He walked around the city walls and gave speeches to boost morale.
Finally, the army came to the city.
The battle begins!
…
And just when the imperial army was attacking Beiping, Zhu Di arrived in Daning.
Zhu Quan was very alert to Zhu Di's arrival.
He ordered his soldiers and horses to be prepared. If an accident occurred, he would not mind teaching his fourth brother a lesson.
The imperial court cut off several vassal kings one after another, some were dead and some were crippled.
Although he was dissatisfied with the imperial court, he did not want to rebel.
His family has a great business, and he doesn't want to be known as a rebel.
Now, my fourth brother is revolting against Jingnan. Isn’t it actually a rebellion?
He saw clearly.
Now that the imperial court has sent a large army to attack Beiping, my fourth brother is bringing troops here at this time. I am afraid that the person who comes here is evil!
However, as brothers, the superficial harmony must still be maintained.
He personally greeted them, and of course, he brought troops and horses just in case.
However, what Zhu Di did next puzzled him.
Zhu Di deployed the troops and horses he brought outside the city, and followed Zhu Quan into the city single-handedly.
As soon as they met, Zhu Di gave Zhu Quan a big hug.
Immediately afterwards, he denounced Zhu Yunwen.
"Seventeenth brother! Fourth brother really has no choice but to come to you."
"You don't know."
"Zhu Yunwen, this bastard is too cruel."
"He won't give me a way to survive!"
"After all, I am also his biological uncle. How can he be so cruel?"
"@#%&*"
As he spoke, Zhu Di started to curse.
Zhu Quan was confused by Zhu Di's behavior.
He could only comfort Zhu Di:
"Fourth brother, you can relax now that you are here."
"Although my younger brother is not talented, he can still protect his brother."
"Sure enough, they have to be brothers!" Zhu Di was moved, and then he yelled at how cruel Zhu Yunwen was.
Zhu Quan was very embarrassed and could only let people settle Zhu Di first.
Then he asked Zhu Di what his plans were later.
The latter ate the food prepared by Zhu Quan and sighed: "Oh! Seventeenth brother, fourth brother, I only have so much wealth, but the imperial army is strong and strong, so I can't beat him."
"Now I can only ask Brother Seventeen to help me and act as a lobbyist."
"Tell the court to call a truce!"
As he said that, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Quan expectantly.
The expression is really spot on.
Zhu Quan has no doubt that he is there. The current situation is very unfavorable to Zhu Di. It is reasonable for him to think so.
Zhu Quan nodded and agreed.
It's just that I despise Zhu Di even more in my heart.
In the middle of the rebellion, you want to surrender. What did you do earlier?
But he is a brother after all, so he is still willing to help with this small favor.
After understanding Zhu Di's purpose, Zhu Quan was relieved.
At this time, Zhu Di made another request to Zhu Quan.
He said that it would be inconvenient for the army to be outside, and he wanted some officials to come into the city to arrange relevant matters.
Afraid that Zhu Quan would think too much, Zhu Di promised that the army would not enter the city.
After receiving the guarantee, Zhu Quan felt relieved and agreed to let them enter the city.
But Zhu Quan didn't expect that when these people entered the city, they brought something else with them, which was money.
Zhu Di's purpose has always been clear. It is not about asking Zhu Quan to help intercede, it is all fake.
His real target is the mercenaries under Zhu Quan - Duoyan Sanwei.
As we all know, mercenaries will work for you as long as you can afford the price.
When Zhu Di came this time, he emptied his family's fortune.
The purpose is to successfully bribe Duoyan Sanwei.
Money is of no use when it is left alone. It is money that is spent.
Zhu Di understood this truth, so he didn't feel distressed at all.
In order to buy time for his subordinates to bribe Duoyan Sanwei, he took Zhu Quan to eat and drink every day to attract his attention to himself.
As for Zhu Quan, he was not completely reassured. He kept telling himself this all the time.
Zhu Di's current identity is a rebel, and it is impossible for him to keep him here for a long time.
Just when he was thinking about finding any reason to send Zhu Dili out of the country, Zhu Di took the initiative to say goodbye.
He also said that he has stayed long enough, and I am afraid that if I stay any longer, I will cause trouble to you, my brother!
Zhu Quan was greatly moved.
Good brothers, forever!
To show his sincerity, he planned to see Zhu Di off in person.
Zhu Di naturally followed his wishes.
The two of them arrived at the outskirts of the city.
Zhu Quan looked at his fourth brother and felt guilty: "Oh, what a pity, my brother didn't do anything to help you!"
At this time, Zhu Di stopped pretending.
He laughed and said: "In that case, brother, how about you go to Jingnan with me?"
While talking, he held Zhu Quan's hand, looking very cordial.
Zhu Quan was startled when he heard Zhu Di's words and quickly broke away from Zhu Di's hand.
"Fourth brother, this joke is not funny at all."
He doesn't want to be a rebel, the risk is too great.
"Brother Seventeen, I am not joking with you."
"At this point, I have no way out."
"There is only one way to get to the dark side."
"I need you."
"Seventeenth brother, help fourth brother."
"When this is done, you and I will share the world together!"
Zhu Di looked into Zhu Quan's eyes and said seriously.
Zhu Quan was unmoved, shook his head and refused.
Seeing this, Zhu Di thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Seventeenth brother, I am not the only one who is in trouble this time."
He told Yang Xuan's plan and took out the letter Yang Xuan gave him.
"Brother Seventeen, would you like to think about it again?"
