Chapter 754

Fengpingcheng

Like Qingyuan City, after the defeat of Murong yongduo in Nanyan and the slaughter of the he people, Fengping closed the border and did not allow anyone to go in and out. Even the merchants who live in the world are not allowed to go north, and the violators will be cut off. Perhaps it was precisely because he had experienced the war of the demise of the great merchants that Zhu Baotian was one of the few courtiers in Nanyan who knew the Sui army very well.

Therefore, his attitude is more correct than Fu Zhengnan.

In those days, even if the big business was corrupt, at least there were millions of well-equipped troops and countless generals with real talents, but they were not in a mess? Zhu Baotian had thought countless times that if the merchant army had held on to the South Bank of the Yangtze River for even more than a while, or even blocked it for more than a month, he would not have delayed returning to Yongzhou. Because the Shang army was defeated too quickly and thoroughly, Zhu Baotian knew that even if he led the troops back, he could not return to heaven.

What's more, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty suddenly understood in the crisis of destroying the country and knew that most of his men were unreliable, so he began to prepare to take back his military power. If Zhu Baotian goes back, nine times out of ten the emperor of the Shang Dynasty will take back all his men and horses.

When it was clear that the Shang state could not carry the offensive of the great Sui Dynasty, Zhu Baotian chose to resist the purpose without much hesitation.

In troubled times, nothing is more reassuring than holding an army in your hand.

Decades later, Zhu Baotian still did not forget the war. He knew that the great Sui Dynasty was in chaos now, but he also knew that the army of the great Sui Dynasty was still strong. Compared with the Nanyan army, the arrogance of the Sui people on the battlefield is still there.

However, at the beginning, this kind of domineering was against foreign enemies. Now, it is them who fight inside.

Fang Xie's men and horses can sweep Murong yongduo and tuhun's many different coalition forces on the Pingshang Road, which can prove that the strength of the Sui army is still strong and unparalleled. Under such circumstances, Zhu Baotian immediately decided not to go out of the city to fight. He has been in Fengping for decades, a few years longer than Luo Yao's operation in Yongzhou. This is his nest and the fortress he tries to build. He is confident that no one can come in easily as long as he doesn't go out.

The city defense was handed over to the young man. The reason why Zhu Baotian made such a decision was because he knew that the young man had an unyielding spirit and knew how to be patient. If he had not been cautious and decisive enough, he would not have had a chance to escape when his family was killed after the failure of Chang'an's participation in the chaos of Prince Yang Yin.

Moreover, this man has been taught by his father since he was a child, and his military strategy is very insightful. After all, his father was once a famous general among the sixteen guards of the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui army went south to destroy business, Zhu Baotian heard of his father's name and wrote a letter to his father to protect himself.

A few years ago, the senior general had resumed contact with him and had been exchanging letters. At that time, Zhu Baotian was still surprised how the senior general in charge of one of the six armies of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty suddenly remembered himself. Later, when the young man fled and came to Fengping, Zhu Peng suddenly realized that the letters were not written by the general at all, but by the young man.

This man's mind can be seen.

Zhu Baotian guessed that when the young man knew that his father might rebel, he began to prepare for his future. He must have found out all the people who had contacts with his father and selected the people he could rely on to remember. He would not choose the Sui people, because once his father was defeated, the wall would fall and everyone would push, and no one dared to take him in. So he chose Zhu Baotian, so he began to write to Zhu Baotian in the name of his father a few years ago.

Zhu Baotian guessed this, but he didn't point it out.

How can a young man who began to prepare his own future a few years ago be a simple figure? What's more, this man was one of the four famous schools in Chang'an city. If Fang Xie didn't shine brightly in the entrance examination of the martial arts academy, he would be the best person.

After the man arrived in Fengping City, Zhu Baotian specially sent someone to Chang'an city to inquire about him. The people who came back told Zhu Butian that the young man had a wide range of friends when he was in Chang'an. He not only became one with the children of the aristocratic family, but also had hypocrisy with many people in the city. When he was in the martial arts academy, he clearly regarded Fang Xie as his opponent, and Fang Xie was also the biggest obstacle for him to become the first show, but on the surface, he was very close to Fang Xie, and he was one of the few people in the aristocratic family who had a good relationship with Fang Xie.

It is precisely because he has such friends that he has many friends who can't make it to the table in Chang'an city. He can escape when the Sui court clears up the rebellion. Then he didn't take refuge in any relatives and friends in the big Sui Dynasty. After coming out of Chang'an, he went straight to Nanyan.

How many people can make such a decision?

"Sir, are you really going to hand over the military power to that man?"

Yu Mingli, a close confidant of Zhu Baotian, was puzzled and unwilling. He had been with Zhu Baotian for 20 years. It seemed that he had not come to fengpingcheng for two years, and the boy was paid more attention. It took him 20 years to climb to the position of one of the six generals under the city Lord, and the boy climbed up in two years. He was called the seventh master.

Now it seems that the seventh master is more popular than the first six of them.

"You have discontent"

Zhu Baotian put down Chunqiu in his hand and looked at Yu Mingli. He pointed to the yellow book and asked, "I've read this book for decades. If I hadn't kept it for a long time, it would have been rotten. But now, why don't I change a new one? It's not an isolated book. The nine volumes of Chunqiu can be bought in any bookstore for a few silver."

"Subordinates... Don't understand."

Yu Mingli shook his head. What he thought was why the city Lord suddenly said such irrelevant words?

"Because I'm nostalgic."

Zhu Baotian smiled and said, "I always like familiar things, such as my armor, which has been worn for decades and repaired for dozens of times, but I still haven't changed it. For example, the wooden comb I comb my hair has lost seven or eight teeth, and I still haven't lost it. For example, the chair I'm sitting on now is not younger than you and has become loose, but I still like to sit on it."

Yu Mingli's face changed and he understood.

"My subordinates understand!"

"I still feel sorry for the loss and damage of these old objects. What's more, you old subordinates who have been with me for decades? The war is imminent. If you are the leader, you will go to battle. Cold arrows have no eyes. If you hurt you, I will feel bad. You must be wild, but he is calm, but not calm. In other words, you take me as the master, and he only takes me as the backer. When he has abundant wings When I'm full, my backer won't matter. "

"So let him do the fighting."

Yu Mingli said, "but since you don't trust this man, give him the power of war in case he..."

"He's not stupid. He's smarter than most people. He knows that he doesn't have the strength to leave me now and depends on me, so he doesn't dare to do it again. He has made many friends with young generals in private in the past two years. I'm not blind. I can't see him hooking up with my people in my family? He doesn't win over you because he knows he can't pull... I brought you out alone Yes, he didn't dare to provoke. The young generals thought they should respect me less, so they had more courage. But he forgot that this is my territory after all. "

"He doesn't have enough strength and can't leave Fengping, so he will try his best to defend here. So you can rest assured that he will use the soldiers I give him to defend the city. Besides, even if he wants to transfer my soldiers to do something dirty, is my soldiers so easy to fool?"

"You know in your heart, my subordinates are relieved."

Yu Mingli dropped his head.

"I'm old."

Zhu Baotian smiled and said, "but I'm not old enough. People say that the older the fox is, the more cunning the tree is, the more tenacious the tree is. These words are not unreasonable. Mingli, go back and talk to the five of them and tell them that the weight of the six of you has not changed at all in my heart."

"My Lord!"

Yu Mingli leaned over and said, "we will follow you to the death!"

"Go"

Zhu supported heaven and said, "I gave the east gate to Dingcheng. You guys take turns to guard the other three gates. Don't slack off. If you lose to the young people, I won't be inclined to you, will I?"

"Here!"

Yu Mingli said, "don't worry, sir. Even if we are stupid, we are trained by you. How can we lose to others?"

"Ha ha"

Zhu Baotian laughed and said: "It's good to have this confidence. Sooner or later, I'll go back to the south to provide for the elderly. If Feng Ping keeps it, I'll choose one of the six of you to inherit it. I said it many years ago and it still counts. Although Zhu Ding was sent by the family and wanted to replace him as the city leader, he doesn't have that ability. Young people are inevitably impatient, if they don't really want to let him The six of you are in danger. I won't give him the matter of leading the troops to Qingyuan City this time. You are not young anymore. Fight, fight and kill. These things should be handed over to those young men who are in their prime of life. You just use your head and mouth in the back. You can't learn this. How can you manage Fengping for me? "

Yu Mingli was moved, and there was hot liquid in his eyes.

As soon as he was about to say something, he heard a close soldier running quickly and shouting, "my Lord! Zhu Ding is back with thousands of defeated soldiers! He wants to come in outside the city gate, but general Yu ordered not to open the city gate, that is, not to let General Zhu's men and horses in!"

Yu Mingli's face changed: "this is an unfamiliar white eyed wolf! Zhu Ding has the best relationship with him on weekdays. Now Zhu Ding comes back, he actually stops him from entering the city! If there are pursuers behind, can he watch so helplessly!"

"Don't make any noise!"

Zhu Baotian's face was not good-looking. He was silent for a moment and said, "follow me to the wall. Don't open the gate until I get there! Even if Ding Cheng is out of mind, there's no reason to stop Zhu Ding from coming in. There must be something strange about this..."

……

……

Fengpingcheng

East Gate

Zhu Ding wriggled uneasily and felt how cold the tip of the knife was on his waist. It didn't feel good at all. His muscles were tight. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, the knife would poke in from his back waist.

"Keep yelling!"

Chen Xiaoru loosened the knife forward and pierced the doomed skin.

"Definitely!"

Zhu Ding was startled and hurriedly continued to shout: "you are so unreasonable! I was attacked and defeated in the valley, and the pursuers are behind me. You and I have a good relationship on weekdays. Why don't you open the gate!"

The young general standing on the city tower frowned, put down his eyes and shouted, "General Zhu, it's not that I don't open the city gate, but that my Lord has issued a death order. No one is allowed to open the door without his old man's order. Wait, my Lord will come soon!"

"You fucking deceive people too much!"

Zhu Ding was also angry, pointing to the man and scolding: "when I enter the door, you will see! Without my Zhu family to take you in, you are just a lost dog! A Sui man who fled for his life, my Zhu family gave you shelter! You stop me now?! what the fuck are you qualified for!"

Fang Xie, who was standing in the back line, suddenly felt a move in his heart and couldn't help looking at the city wall. He wanted to see who Zhu Ding said was the suis who fled for his life!
