Chapter 1740: Do Not Advance or Die (Thanks to "50,000 Years of Doom" For Being the Leader of This Book)

"Failed, the whole army was wiped out!"

When only a dozen or so of the 400 people sent out came back, Wu En said calmly: "We need to make a choice, whether to continue or withdraw."

"There is still food and grass."

Pugu was very bitter, because most of the losses today were his subordinates. But he knew that he couldn't stop, once he went back, he couldn't help himself, and at that time, none of Halle's forces would make it easier for him.

Seeing Wu En's expression was calm, Pugu cheered up and said: "If we go back, the construction of Xinghe City will be without obstacles, Wu En, what will you do then?" ..

"And you?"

Wu En asked lightly: "Are you going to fight back again? Maybe I can provide a lobbyist to persuade the two sheep to let you go back to the country."

"I don't need it, and neither do my subordinates."

Knowing that this was a temptation, Pugu said firmly, "If I want to go back, I will fight back myself!"

As soon as these words came out, he cut off his way back.

Wu En couldn't help being moved, and said: "Well, the Ming army set up a trap, and our people lost their vigilance. This is a lesson. How to harass them next? You have to know that if there is no merit, if my brothers agree to join forces Come on, you and I have to step aside, our subordinates will be annexed, people..."

Pugu said with a gloomy gaze, "There are no relatives in a dispute in a troubled world!"

Wu En nodded, "I don't want to fight with the Ming people, but the situation is like this. If I don't fight, those brothers will not send food and grass. Yili is slowly recovering, but still can't provide enough food and grass. If the supplies in Harleigh's country are cut off, the only way for us is to surrender."

This is the biggest weakness, but Pugu is helpless.

"We can't afford to lose hundreds of people at a time!"

Harley was in chaos, and his older brothers were staring at each other, and at the same time they were fighting militarily within their own control, waiting for a battle to get rid of their other brothers, so that they could stand on their own.

The two were relatively silent in the tent, and Wu En was a little anxious.

Harlie was already falling apart, and even if they temporarily gathered together because of Da Ming's threat, they couldn't withstand a single blow.

"The last time my father and Emperor Ming had a decisive battle,

Gaining the upper hand, he was eventually defeated by Emperor Ming himself leading an army to fight back... Pugu, I am blowing myself up, just to let you know who the person we are facing is the Demon God. "

Wu En recalled and said: "All the soldiers who fled back talked about the great battle. The Demon God personally commanded the defense in the middle, and Ming Emperor waited for the opportunity to counterattack in the central army. Our army was beaten back several times after breakthroughs, and the Demon God even personally led the defense. Assault, so you are wrong in judging his lack of valor, which would cost us our lives."

"What about the counterattack? Firearms cannot participate in the counterattack."

After a collision, Pugu caught the weakness of the firearms army.

Wu En shook his head and smiled wryly: "But the Ming army does not lack cavalry, and now the Tatars are on their side. If we have a decisive battle with the demon god, once we are defeated, the Tatars will be very happy to chase us to the end of the sky."

The tent was silent again, the sky outside gradually dimmed, but the lights in the tent were not lit.

In the darkness, Pugu firmly said: "Look for the warriors, let them harass them, one person and two groups, go to find the loopholes of the Ming people, and those who attack and kill them must make them feel uneasy."

"Reinforcement... is far away, Pugu, you and I can't afford it..."

"I know, but what should I do?"

If you don't consume it, you can only wait for death slowly, and Wu En, the loser in the internal struggle, has no place to die.

"The hearts of your subordinates are unstable. If they lose their goals, they will abandon you without hesitation, and then go to your brother, and even cut off your head to ask for credit..."

"Yes, otherwise I won't join hands with you..."

A wry smile came from the tent.

...

"Are you joining forces? Or do you regret it?"

"Our family has no regrets."

This is a small restaurant. In a dark corner, Yuan Xi sneered and said, "When that person from Jinling returns, you will know your end. If you don't fight, you will die."

"We... our family knows."

Huang Yan looked at the closed door, touched the makeup on his face with his hands, and said angrily: "But your master is going to use you to shake this matter? Then our family will report it now, and at least we can stay." A whole corpse."

Yuan Xi sneered and said: "My master is not a fool, we are all on the same rope now, so who would benefit from failure?"

Huang Yan's complexion moved slightly, and greed appeared on his face: "After the matter is completed, our family wants a place for taxation and retirement, how about it?"

"No problem, little things."

Yuan Xi said with a warm smile.

Huang Yan got up and said: "Our family should go back, we will be stared at later, if something happens in the future, our family will find a way to let people report."

Yuan Xi smiled and sent him out from behind.

After closing the door again, Yuan Xi cooked a few dishes himself, and then poured himself a drink.

"My lord, Fang Xing stayed in Taiyuan City for one night and killed more than ten people in Mingyue Tower."

A man came in from the back door to report, and then left quietly.

Yuan Xi took a sip of his wine and said to himself: "Demonstration? No, it's not His Majesty's intention. How could Fang Xing dare to kill people indiscriminately? Or did he discover something?"

...

"Send people to Taiyuan, and directly seal the Mingyue Building."

With a ruddy complexion and deep eyes, Zhu Gaochi casually raised his head and said.

Sun Xiang agreed, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, who is involved?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, "No need, those vassal kings are watching, if not, I will directly take down Zhu Jiyun this time! Go!"

After Sun Xiang left, the Nuan Pavilion fell into silence.

Yang Rong knew that Zhu Gaochi was a mouse-thrower, if it was to blame, then he could only blame Emperor Taizu Gao.

The hero and the founding emperor placed his sons everywhere, and many of them had guards in their hands, a large number of them, and sufficient money and food.

If those vassal kings rioted collectively, even if they could calm down, they would be seriously injured in the end.

So even Zhu Di couldn't move, and could only gradually cut off the guarding power of those vassal kings.

And Zhu Gaochi is also gradually restricting the vassal kings step by step from the periphery, and restricting their rights step by step.

Zhu Gaochi murmured: "If Fang Xing was here, he would definitely laugh at me for being too soft."

"No." Yang Rong said: "Your Majesty, Xing Hebo knows the overall situation, otherwise he would be able to attack Mingyue Tower in Taiyuan and take down King Jin directly."

"But the consequences are hard to say!"

Zhu Gaochi only hated why he didn't keep all those royal families in Beiping, so that he could easily control them.

But Huang Ming's ancestral precepts are there, on his desk. It's not that he hasn't flipped through it, he has carefully studied it many times recently, and he wants to find loopholes in it, and then let his relatives less disturb the people and add less burden to Daming.

But he was disappointed, his grandfather didn't give him any loopholes, at least he didn't find a place to use his ability.

Yang Rong knew the harm and loss of the vassal kings to Daming, but he was afraid of the pressure from the monarch and his ministers, so he didn't dare to talk about it.

Zhu Gaochi threw away the brush, got up and walked to the door of the Nuan Pavilion, Liang Zhong lifted the curtain, and a gust of cold air rushed in.

Go out of the warm pavilion and turn left, and it will be even colder when you go out.

Yang Rong followed behind and saw a eunuch sweeping the floor not far away. The ground was already very clean, but he was still looking for the dust, as if he was concentrating on manipulating the world.

"This is loyalty, who can?"

Yang Rong was stunned, he didn't know what to say.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's generous, no, fat back, he had mixed feelings, and he only felt that God had sent such a kind king to Daming, where he served as the chief assistant, and this was the fate of the world.

"He is stupid. Everyone in the palace looks down on him. Some people bully him. Only I like him. No, the late emperor also likes him, and Fang Xing likes him too. We all like simple people, not mere dogs, and greet each other with smiles. , the one who stabbed the knife in the back."

Zhu Gaochi's tone was a bit embarrassing, "The late emperor killed many servants because of him. I pity him and make an exception for this. Fang Xing begs for favors for him and me. This is a heart-to-heart exchange. Yes, I like this statement... Heart for heart."

The eunuch squatted down suddenly, then took out a piece of iron from his arms, and shoveled the ground vigorously.

Yang Rong recognized him, and this person was Song Laoshi.

"His Majesty……"

The crown prince cast his iron fist in the south, and Beiping and Jinling were integrated, and the pressure was immediately fed back to Peiping. Yang Rong received many letters in private, all of which were complaints, and some even vaguely mentioned the replacement of the prince.

Since the founding of the country, he has never seen such a strong and tough prince. What will he be like when he ascends the throne?

Countless people are worried and afraid...

Zhu Zhanji stubbornly withstood the pressure from the south, while the north...

"Your Majesty, are you coming down?"

Song Laoshi turned around and saw Zhu Gaochi, so he came over happily and wanted to help Zhu Gaochi down.
