I am the king of the dead

Shi Biao can be regarded as a mighty general, and he is also a fellow of Shi Heng. He is big and thick, and has a strong back. For him, he never frowns when he charges into battle.

But such people are very afraid of the dagger coming from behind.

Fortunately, these daggers were blocked by His Majesty from any angle.

Shi Biao got off his horse and rushed to the top of the city with his men, and the urn city of Wudingmen was quickly captured.

Xuzhou is a strategic hub. There are three floors inside and outside the urn city here, and there are two horse paths at the north gate for the left and right sentry cavalry to cover the urn city.

The troops who invaded the urn city were often caught in the urn, and would be shot into sieves by arrows, ballistas, and firecrackers on the four walls of the urn city.

So even if Wang Ji put 3 people in Xuzhou, as long as the defense is proper, the defense of this city cannot be said to be impenetrable, it can only be regarded as indestructible.

But at the moment when the torches of the army outside the city were lit up like a fire dragon, the morale of the rebels in Xuzhou City had completely collapsed when they saw countless Beijing troops rushing towards the suspension bridge and killing the city gates and walls along the stairs. .

Perhaps there is no morale, let alone means.

The first urn city, the second urn city, and the third urn city, the gates of the city slowly opened amidst the sound of fighting and killing and the sound of fire. Shi Heng led the Fifth Army Battalion and Shenji Battalion into the city.

There was the sound of gunfire and wailing everywhere, and the entire city of Xuzhou was filled with gunpowder smoke and flames shot into the sky.

Yu Qian has been holding the battle for Shi Heng. Once the situation changes, or there is an ambush outside the city, Yu Qian is Shi Heng's firm back and the reliance for the army to advance and retreat.

But obviously Yu Qian, the back-hand, did not wait for the so-called ambush outside the city.

Because the will to fight on the opposite side has been completely disintegrated, and the organization, morale, and order flags are all gone.

Banners and drums are silenced, the appearance of a defeated army.

With the sound of horseshoes, Shi Heng led the army and swept across the whole Xuzhou like a strong wind. The city walls were captured, the turrets were captured, Qiaolou (the fireman and watchman for fire prevention) were captured, the square gates were captured, and the government offices were captured. Where Shi Heng's horseshoe stepped, there was no enemy at all.

There are defeated rebels everywhere, and the chasing Ming army is everywhere. The Ming army walked through all the streets outside the square wall, killing or capturing all the rebels.

Shi Heng and Shi Biao finally found Gong Ju, Wang Ji's number one dog leg.

Gong Ju is too drunk, and three beautiful women serve one Gong Ju, how can this blessing be reduced?

The army finally occupied the entire Chunqin Tower, and in Gongju's big box, Gongju was still snoring and soundly asleep.

The three women hurriedly wrapped their bodies, trying to wake up the big man beside them, telling the general that the enemy is coming!

But Gong Ju casually pushed twice, changed his position and fell asleep again.

Shi Heng waved his hand, signaling the three prostitutes to step back.

Shi Heng couldn't help thinking of the thirty army sticks back then.

When Yu Qian went to inspect Kyushu outside the mountains, one of Shi Heng's assistant generals brought many prostitutes into the barracks in the name of comforting the army.

Coincidentally, His Majesty went to patrol the camp that day and caught him. No matter how great his merits are, the Thirty Army Sticks are solid.

That day, he lay on the bench and thought about it for most of the night.

That day His Majesty gave him a majestic vision of a golden horse and an iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

So far, Shi Heng doesn't know whether his Majesty got the news when he went to inspect the camp that day, or it was a coincidence.But Shi Heng thought he got the news.

But it's actually a coincidence.

But it doesn't matter anymore, he now sees Gong Ju who has already occupied the Xuzhou city inside and outside, and Gong Ju, who is too sleepy due to alcoholism, has mixed emotions in his heart.

I usually shout out to obey His Majesty's teachings, but how many of them take it to heart?

This is the end of the army smoking wine and having fun.

Shi Heng said with a sneer: "I have touched your bed, and you are still sleeping here."

"Report the rebellious general! Jiang Wan and other Dingxi Hou veterans were all sent to the imperial physicians who accompanied the army, and the imperial physicians team has already rushed over." A commanding officer hurried in.

Well-trained imperial physicians travel with the army to organize the treatment of the wounded.

Yu Qian also walked into the big box of Chunqin Building, holding a map of map in his hand and said, "Is this one still sleeping?"

Shi Heng said helplessly: "No, I can't wake you up."

Shi Biao said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to carry a bucket of water."

Yu Qian stopped Shi Biao, shook his head and said, "Then let him fall asleep, the last one to sleep peacefully."

Yu Qian was as kind as ever.

"We came in through the Wuning gate at the north gate, and the Ying'en gate at the south gate has been captured." Yu Qian meant that Xuzhou City had already been breached by attacking from the north to the south.

Yu Qian pointed at the location of Suining, and said to Shi Biao: "Former general, tomorrow you will bring 2 troops to Suining."

"Suining is the only way from Xuzhou to Huaiyin. The strategic location is important. There are still more than [-] rebels stationed in and around Suining City, so be extremely careful."

"Tomorrow's news of Xuzhou's defeat will inevitably spread throughout the two Huaihe Rivers. Suining City's will to resist is not too strong, but don't be careless."

"General Conquering Rebellion, you take 2 people to Xiao County. Xiao County is empty of defense, with only a thousand people. As long as we stand firm in Xuzhou, Xiao County, and Suining, and become each other's horns, even if the main force of the rebel army reaches Suzhou , It’s just a pity.”

This is a long-established plan, Shi Heng nodded and said: "I have no objection."

Li Yongchang took out the fire card for dispatching troops and handed it to the two generals.

Yu Qian, Shi Heng, Shi Biao, Li Yongchang and others surrounded the map and analyzed the situation. It was not until dawn that they decided on a steady and steady policy.

Wang Ji intends to attack and fight quickly, and the emperor wants to fight quickly, but Dahe is at his side. As long as Xuzhou is firmly established, the Lianghuai area will naturally be no problem.

Only then is it possible to fight quickly.

Gong Ju turned over and touched to the side, but found that there was no one warm around him. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the backs of Shi Heng and Yu Qian, as well as several well-armored Tiqi. Stand by the bed.

"Who are you!" Gong Ju roared angrily, "Guards! Where are the guards!"

Yu Qian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Our General Gong seems to have woken up."

Seeing Gong Ju's horrified, terrified, and puzzled expression, Shi Heng burst out laughing!

The crowd finally gathered around the head of the bed full of smiles, and said cheerfully: "Someone is not talented, Marquis Wuqing of the Ming Dynasty, the rebel general Shi Heng."

"The person next to me is Wen'anhou of the Ming Dynasty, the Shaobao, the governor-general of the rebel military affairs, and the rebellious general Yu Qian."

"This is the eunuch of the Military Warfare Bureau, the minister of the admiral's martial arts hall, and the eunuch Li Yongchang who supervises the military. I don't know the palace gathering, but who are the three of us?"

"you're awake?"

Gong Ju looked around, but his expression eased a little, and he said indifferently: "I must be dreaming, the dream is reversed, it seems that Xuzhou City is as solid as gold!"

Shi Heng, Yu Qian, and Li Yongchang looked at each other, looking cheerfully at Gong Ju who thought it was a dream, and laughed long.

Xuzhou is the gate of Nanjing, and Wang Ji should send a tiger general to guard it.

Instead of sending a tiger, Wang Ji should also send a dog to guard the gate.

Now that a pig has been sent, how can this gate be kept?

"Former general, bring a bucket of water to wake up General Gong." Shi Heng said to Shi Biao.

There were two personal guards going, Shi Biao stopped them, and went to fetch water by himself, such an interesting thing, how can you give the fun to others?

Shi Biao rushed upstairs with the bucket in hand and poured the whole bucket of water on Gong Ju's head.

Gong Ju's trance with a splitting headache after drinking too much, became sober under a bucket of water, he wanted to yell, but a Tiqi had already stuffed Gong Ju's sock into his mouth inside.

"Woooooooo..."

Gong Ju struggled to escape, but was detained by Ti Qi and thrown into the cell.

Shi Heng led [-] troops to Xiao County non-stop, and Shi Biao led [-] troops to Suining.

The people in Xuzhou City were panicked. They had heard the shouts of killing for half the night yesterday. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the city, they saw the Huang Hui Sun and Moon Banner under the sun, blown by the wind. It whistled loudly.

The Wang Banner at the top of the city has been changed, and the Ming army has entered the city.

Yu Qian has been sitting in the government office, and wrote a notice according to His Majesty's edict, telling the people not to panic, the Ming army is the king's teacher.

According to His Majesty's highest instruction of "regularly pardoning those who are wronged, regardless of their leaders, they will be expelled from Xian, and will be ordered to resume their work. If there is any burden or unrest, and those who take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be executed without pardon." Yu Qian began to stabilize the Xuzhou area.

There will be no workshops in Xuzhou City within three days.

Inventory the food and grass in the treasury, the armory in the armory, replace the officials in the government, the commanding officer will appease the people, announce His Majesty's will, arrest the bandits in the city, and so on.

Three days later, the sun rose again!

The people finally walked out of the square gate, staring blankly at the Wang Banner at the top of the city, the Ming army has arrived, Xuzhou is finally at peace.

Some people covered their faces and wept bitterly. The six months of panic and anxiety finally passed.

The battle of Xuzhou was a complete victory.

But Wang Ji was still in Yingtian Mansion at this time, and the governors Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu had just set off when they heard the news of Xuzhou's fall, and returned to Yingtian Mansion in a hurry.

Li Xian was in the Advisory Council at this time, looking at the people standing on the stage who were speaking, feeling bored.

The one who spoke was Cai Dongpan, the ignorant Cai Dongpan who spouted shit about the death of the first emperor of Qin and the death of Emperor Wu of the Han.

It's hard for Li Xian to imagine how the unfilial nature of his descendants and the power to push the blame on the predecessors was formed.

Cai Dongpan was still placed in the Nanjing Yamen, and he also became a counselor. Li Xian knew with his heels that Cai Dongpan's family was probably extremely rich.

I don't know how much rice, millet, beans, grass, and pommel horses I have to pay to get such a position.

Li Xian's goal of selling officials and nobles in Nanjing City has been achieved. How can there be a sergeant who is sincere in being an official and fighting to the death?

So far, Li Xian doesn't know what Wang Ji and the others are guarding against in Nanjing City.

Cai Dongpan stood in front of the stage and shouted loudly: "The king of Yan is violent, and the Yan family invaded the city of Nanjing. We will not end well!"

"When Tie Xuan saw King Yan back then, he couldn't stop cursing, he stood up and didn't kneel!"

"King Yan was helpless when he saw this, and said: It's a good iron bone. If you don't kneel to me, I forgive you to kneel with your face north, which is also considered submission."

Li Xian looked at Cai Dongpan. This was indeed what Emperor Taizong Wen said.

Of course, Emperor Wen played a trick here, Fengtian Hall faces south, if Tie Xuan faces north and kneels, he will be regarded as Emperor Wen kneeling when he goes to court.

This is the honor given to Tie Xuan by Emperor Wen. You are loyal to your Emperor Jianwen, and I will be my Emperor Yongle. Let's show respect to each other. Why are you making such an embarrassing scene?

It's all Daming.

"The king of Yan forced him to look at it, but he couldn't get it. Tie Xuan didn't kneel to the north, but ordered someone to cut off his ears and nose, boil the meat until it was cooked, put it in Xuan's mouth, and ask if the meat tasted good? There has been no such criminal law since ancient times!"

"Xuan said loudly: Why are you unwilling to accept the meat of a loyal minister and a filial son? The King of Yan was furious and ordered to enter the court."

Li Xian immediately understood, this Cai Dongpan, the first sentence is true, and then began to make up nonsense!

Li Xian knocked the bronze bell twice and said: "It's time."

Cai Dongpan was taken aback and said, "I haven't finished yet, isn't there still sand in the five-round hourglass?"

Li Xian looked at the hourglass and knocked it hard, and the hourglass shattered with a sound. With a smooth movement of his sleeve, he swept all the debris on the table to the ground, and a servant hurried over to clean it up.

Li Xian said with a smile: "It's gone now."

Where did Cai Dongpan see such rascals? He was very angry, but the hourglass was indeed gone.

"What you said is wrong, Tie Xuan scolded him angrily, so he threw it in the market, how can you say that you cut your ears?" Li Xian knew what Cai Dongpan wanted to express, but Li Xian refused to let him express it.

He is holding the great seal of the Advisory Council, and if you are told to say it, you can say it, if you are not allowed to say it, you can only shut up.

Cai Dongpan made this up.

According to the records of the Nanjing Judiciary, it is only said that Emperor Wen would not be able to obtain loyal ministers, so he would be sent to the market.

It is also recorded in the Records of Ming Dynasty that Zhu Di told his ministers that every time he was called Hyun, he must say his loyalty.

Loyalty is etiquette, and in the eyes of Li Xian, a Confucian scholar, etiquette cannot be misinterpreted in this way.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy, thrift, loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame and courage are all virtues, and they are the great ethics of the five elements.

But Cai Dongpan said that Tie Xuan was crazy, and Emperor Wen was violent.

It is not only a slander to Emperor Wen, but also an insult to Tie Xuan.

It is a misinterpretation of benevolence and a misinterpretation of loyalty.

This is carrying the banner of respect and law, against the law of etiquette.

After so many misinterpretations, how can there be such a great system of etiquette in this world?

Li Xian was too lazy to argue with him, including him, everyone is just a grasshopper after autumn. He took out a new five-wheeled hourglass and said with a smile: "Next."

Cai Dongpan resented that Li Xian was a Jinshi, and he needed to be knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and talented. Cai Dongpan, not to mention arguing with Li Xian, even if he was arguing with Liu Sheng, he was no match.

The Advisory Council quarreled for a long while, and finally made some plausible decrees, and Li Xian announced the adjournment.

It was only when he walked out of the Advisory Council that he realized that the Ming army had conquered Xuzhou City.
